In this episode of “At the Bench”, we are interviewing one of our show's co-hosts, Dr. David McCulley. David is a neonatologist and developmental biologist at the University of California, San Diego and in this show he talks about what motivated him to build a research program investigating the genetic and developmental mechanisms responsible for congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). David directs an NIH-supported study to determine the genetic mechanisms responsible for abnormal lung and pulmonary vascular development in patients with CDH. He describes the mentorship and collaborative research experiences that have shaped his career path. David also talks about the work that he is doing along with the Society for Pediatric Research and the co-hosts of this program, Dr. Misty Good and Dr. Betsy Crouch, to encourage and promote pediatric physician-scientist career development. Some highlighted papers: Stokes, G., Li, Z., Talaba, N., Genthe, W., Brix, M.B., Pham, B., Wienhold, M.D., Sandok, G., Hernan, R., Wynn, J., Tang, H., Tabima, D.M., Rodgers, A., Hacker, T.A., Chesler, N.C., Zhang, P., Murad, R., Yuan, J.X., Shen, Y., Chung, W.K., McCulley, D.J.

“So, we landed in Kabul. This is a long time ago, long before the Taliban. And the airport official just smoothly took my American passport away and said, ‘No problem, madam. We'll return it to your family.' Never saw it again. And then I discovered that my father-in-law had three wives and 21 children.”Phyllis Chesler was born into a Jewish-American family. In 1961, at just 20 years of age, she traveled as a new bride with her husband to Afghanistan, where she entered into a traditional, Muslim household and was quickly stripped of her rights, seen as the property of her male family members. After finally escaping back to the United States, she became what she calls a “politically-incorrect feminist” who advocates for the rights of women and girls, and speaks out against “faux feminists” in the West, who have failed to support the Oct. 7 victims of Hamas's rape and sexual assault, and remain silent on the gender apartheid afflicting the Arab–Muslim world.“She called me up one day, maybe a year later, and said, ‘Do you want to help rescue girls and women from Afghanistan?' I said, ‘I've been waiting for this call my entire life.' And we did. That's what we did. It was a group of grassroots feminists who undertook that holy task, and we got 398 out with no help from the government,” says Dr. Chesler. “Israel is fighting the West's battle by itself—it really is—for the kinds of freedoms from tyranny that the West has been standing for, was founded for, and is now not holding on to.”Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Legendary feminist and author Dr. Phyllis Chesler warns that the Hamas attacks in Israel could eventually lead to World War III unless democratic powers "stand up to the world bully," the "axis of evil" of China, Russia, Iran, and select Arab countries.Her comments came in an interview for the Lean to the Left and Justice Counts podcasts, during which she strongly criticized women's organizations for failing to call out the antisemitism she contends is at the heart of the conflict."Iran's program is to get rid of the Western way of life; put women in body bags, execute homosexual men, have one religion under God--their God," she says. "If we don't stand up to the world bully, and I see World War III fast approaching, becoming more dreadfully visible. The Axis of Evil is China, Russia, Iran, selected Arab countries, Turkey. If we don't stop them in the Middle East," attacks on our shores could come.Dr. Chesler warns that Islamic terrorists "have their eye on the West and the Western way of life. This is so clear. What's also clear is the desire to appease in order to be bombed less, so that if we give Iran and Hamas, Israel, give it up, sacrifice the Jews, people love dead Jews, that's when we get pity, when we're dead, not when we're living and fighting back. Then maybe Iran will come for us later, maybe the battle on our shores will happen later. Students of World War II have taught us that the more you appease the bully, the higher the price is, the longer the war is."Dr. Chesler is a psychotherapist and Professor Emerita of Psychology at City University of New York. She has authored 20 books including A Politically Incorrect Feminist, The New Antisemitism, An American Bride in Kabul, and the groundbreaking Women & Madness. She has lectured and organized political, legal, religious, and human rights campaigns in the United States, Canada, Europe, Israel, Central Asia, and the Far East.Since 9/11, Dr. Chesler has focused on the rights of women, dissidents, and gays in the Hindu, Sikh, and Muslim communities; the rights of women in prison; the rise of anti-Semitism/anti-Zionism, the demonization of Israel, the nature of terrorism, forced veiling, forced marriage, polygamy, and tribal psychology. Dr. Chesler has conducted four studies about honor killing that have appeared in Middle East Quarterly. She has submitted affidavits for Muslim and ex-Muslim women who are seeking asylum or citizenship based on their credible belief that their families will honor kill them. In 2021-2022, Dr. Chesler co-led a team which rescued 400 women from Afghanistan. That work continues. During the podcast interview, she says Iran is funding terrorism around the world and wants to destroy Israel. And then, she asks, "who's next?""It's us," she says. "It's the West and our ideals and our way of life" that are in the crosshairs."Calling out women's organizations for demonstrating in favor of Hamas, Dr. Chesler says that if those women were in Gaza, the West Bank or Saudi Arabia, "they would be forcibly veiled. they would be forced, possibly by their families, to marry into polygamous families, even as children. They may not be allowed to have an education, and they could be honor killed for minor infractions." In fact, she contends, "they have joined a faxcist death cult with joy. This is what we're looking at."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lean-to-the-left-podcast--4719048/support.

What You Need to Know is what happened in Ohio: the voters approved a Constitutional right to abortion. The pro-abortion people came into the state with 5 times the funding that the pro-life side had. The left is good at getting boots on the ground and spending the money. This does not mean that pro-life is a losing issue, it means that the far left is better at getting the vote out than conservative organizations are. Phyllis Chesler PhD, author of A Politically Incorrect Feminist and psychotherapist, joins Ed to discuss the Israel-Hamas conflict. Chesler explains that feminist are inconsistent on the matter as they ignore the gross violations towards Israeli women by Hamas. She also exposes the widespread antisemitism on college campuses born of wokeness. John Schlafly, co-author of the Schlafly Report, gives us this week's work: ‘Dems Despair as Trump Surges.' Biden is tanking, and the Democrats don't know what to do. The media is weeping and wailing because polls show that Trump will win in all the key states. The Democrats would like for Biden to be replaced, but there is no clear successor. Meanwhile, despite all of the lawsuits, Trump still stands tall going into 2024. Wrap Up: The insurrection case against Trump is having an increase in filings. Smith's new filing reveals that the entire attempt to make January 6 look like an insurrection was meant to be used as a narrative machine weapon against Donald Trump going into the 2024 election. And the entire project is based on lies and falsehoods.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Parsha Talk with Rabbis Eliot Malomet, barry Chesler and Jeremy Kalmanofsky. This week's double parashah Nitzavim/Va-yelekh [Deut. 29:9–31:30] is relatively short yet contains memorable lines and ideas that have had a kind of an afterlife well beyond the Torah. The phrase lo bashamayim hee [Deut. 30:12], “it is not in heaven” figures prominently in one of the great talmudic stories, The Oven of Akhnai [b. Bava Metzia 59ab], and the command to choose life [u-vaharta ba-hayyim] is often cited in discussions governing moral choice. As the book of Deuteronomy winds to a close in the synagogue reading, the figure of Moses looms larger and larger, as does the seeming inability of the author, whoever that may be, to appropriately close the book. Deuteronomy seems to have a number of different endings, and we have yet to get to the concluding parashah. Thankfully, perhaps, our conversation did have an end. We hope you enjoy it! Shabbat Shalom!!

Drawing from the wild and erotic character of the natural environment, Bri Chesler's work reflects on cultural obsessions of beauty and their relationships to internal anatomies. By fusing similar elements found in biology and botany she creates forms that flirt with the audience, exploring ideas of intimacy and desire. Known for its nontraditional approach, her work combines a variety of glass techniques with other media.  Says Chesler: “Over the last few years glass has become the focus of my material exploration. The process revolves around using your body, the momentum of its movements, and your breath to shape a form. You have to allow yourself to be vulnerable. A dance between artist and medium, each movement carefully caressing, convincing the glass to become something new. The reality and illusion of its fragility, its weightless transparent quality, feed into the idea of being exposed, a material, a skin, that has the ability to be both vacant and full of depth.”  She continues: “I like to maintain a glass focus while using a multidisciplinary approach, emphasizing qualities found in both materials that translate a similar idea or aesthetic. Manipulating surfaces and materials in a way that plays with the audiences' perception allows me to develop a surreal dialog by diminishing the limitations of material identity. The cohesion of different glass techniques and other media has become something innate to my making; it's what defines me as a glass artist. It not only allows me to explore the material in untraditional ways, but it also demonstrates and highlights the multidimensional nature of glass itself.” Though she now lives in Seattle, Chesler credits her Palm Beach upbringing as a major influence. While Florida's landscapes inspired the foundation for her conceptual ideas, the cultural environment informed the themes of superficial beauty, intimacy, and empathy. A product of BAK MSOA and Dreyfoos High School of the Arts, the former alum always knew her calling was a visual one. She discovered her passion for glass while studying metal and foundry processes at the Kansas City Art Institute during her undergraduate studies. The sensual and organic aesthetic of glass resonated with Chesler in a way that metal did not. Chesler has received accolades such as the 2019 Pilchuck Emerging Artist-in-Residence award, the 2020 Hauberg Fellowship, the 2021 Glass Art Society's Saxe Emerging Artist Award, and a Chihuly Gardens and Glass Anniversary Scholarship. In 2022, she taught as an instructor at Pilchuck Glass School and was featured in a solo exhibition, titled Untamed: The Anatomy of Desire, at the Center on Contemporary Arts in Seattle. Her works have also been exhibited at the Bellevue Arts Museum in Washington State and Habatat Gallery in Michigan.  DELECTABLE, a collaborative installation, is on view now through April 15 at Method Gallery. Chesler and MinHi England (Blown Away 3 finalist) bonded after learning about shared traumatic life experiences, only to realize the conceptual parallels in their artistic practice. In 2017, they founded a collaborative brand called Liquid Lush Studio and have since been collaborating artistically. Throughout that time, they have continued a partnership not only creatively but in a familial friendship. The two describe themselves as “widow wives” after caring for and witnessing cancer take the life of Jesse England. After surviving this new shared traumatic life experience, their connection grew stronger and motivated the two to continue a collaborative partnership. Museum of Glass (MOG), Tacoma, presents a concert in the Hot Shop on April 20, featuring local music group Mirrorgloss alongside live glassblowing demonstrations led by Chesler and England. The artists will act as lead gaffers for the evening, guiding Museum of Glass Hot Shop Starter Sarah Gilbert and students from the Hilltop Artists program in creating works inspired by the music. The event is inspired by the themes of feminism and the work of powerful women-identifying and gender-expansive artists in MOG's current exhibition She Bends: Redefining Neon Legacy. Chesler and England will also demonstrate at the Glass Art Society Conference in Detroit, Michigan, in June 2023 as well as co-teach at OxBow School of Art, Saugatuck, Michigan, in July 2023.

In today's episode, we're talking with Adam Chesler, Director of Global Sales, American Institute of Physics.   Adam is interviewed by Matthew Ismail, a Conference Director and Editor in Chief of the Charleston Briefings. Adam talks with Matthew about STEM publishing, the physics niche in publishing, and the relationship between the publisher and the customer. He says that, at some level, his job is to help AIP keep the lights on, and Adam explains how the sales of AIP journal subscriptions supports the mission of the society. Libraries do not always consider the fact that the journals have a larger role in the mission of the society, wanting to pay as little as possible for the content, and it is Adam's job, not only to sell journals, but to communicate the value of the product in the broader STEM research ecosystem.  Social Media: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthew-ismail-1a6282a/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamchesler/ Twitter: Keywords: #AIP, #STEM, #STEMpublishing, #physics, #journal, #researchjournals, #books, #openscience, #scientists, #technology, #research, #researchers, #readers, #writing, #academicwriting, #knowledge, #libraries, #librarianship, #academicpublishing, #scholarlypublishing, #publishing, #podcasts

Abstract: The gut microbiome is thought to play a critical role in the onset and development of psychiatric disorders, including depression and substance use disorder (SUD). To test the hypothesis that the microbiome affects addiction predisposing behaviors and cocaine intravenous self-administration (IVSA) and to identify specific microbes involved in the relationship, we performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing on feces from 228 diversity outbred mice. Twelve open field measures, two light-dark assay measures, one hole board and novelty place preference measure significantly differed between mice that acquired cocaine IVSA (ACQ) and those that failed to acquire IVSA (FACQ). We found that ACQ mice are more active and exploratory and display decreased fear than FACQ mice. The microbial abundances that differentiated ACQ from FACQ mice were an increased abundance of Barnesiella, Ruminococcus, and Robinsoniella and decreased Clostridium IV in ACQ mice. There was a sex-specific correlation between ACQ and microbial abundance, a reduced Lactobacillus abundance in ACQ male mice, and a decreased Blautia abundance in female ACQ mice. The abundance of Robinsoniella was correlated, and Clostridium IV inversely correlated with the number of doses of cocaine self-administered during acquisition. Functional analysis of the microbiome composition of a subset of mice suggested that gut-brain modules encoding glutamate metabolism genes are associated with the propensity to self-administer cocaine. These findings establish associations between the microbiome composition and glutamate metabolic potential and the ability to acquire cocaine IVSA thus indicating the potential translational impact of targeting the gut microbiome or microbial metabolites for treatment of SUD.

Physical or Biological Determinism will always cause the sort of societal pain that comes from stripping man of his rights as an image bearer of God. If we view people as simply the flesh that they inhabit, we will rob them of what makes them special: God breathed life and a spirit into each one of us. This gives us a unique value. This realization of the infinite value should move us to view every human as priceless. The trouble with Secular Humanism that neither the value of God nor the value of man is recognized. Only the need for self actualization is acknowledged. So what would happen to a culture saddled with such a worldview if a certain minority were to be singled out as an obstacle to the majority's self-actualization, whether through pseudoscience, religious innuendo, or avarice? We only need to look to recent history to see the results. In the 1700s a man named Thomas Robert Malthus produced the theory that the exponential population growth, combined with an arithmetic food supply growth, would produce immense human suffering in the inevitable overpopulation that would occur. The Malthusian Theory of Population, when combined with Darwinian Evolutionary Theory, bred an incredibly dangerous atmosphere where man thought it best to play God considering God's absence from man's worldview. This playing God took the form of Eugenics, or Good Birth (Eu-Greek for Good, Genes Greek for birth). Eugenics was rather popular during Margret Sanger's day. It is important to remember that while she was a product of her times, those times are not that far behind us and neither are the propositions that motivated people like Margret Sanger. So now that we have partially set the stage, let's not use some Pro-Life source. (Unfortunately, in the zeal for the Pro-Life cause, so many in the Pro-Life movement are not always accurate when representing Sanger. We should always build the strongest version of the opposition's argument when forming a response. Dismantling steelmen, not strawmen, prepares us to engage our culture successfully.) Let us use scholars like Edwin Black (not a conservative), Planned Parenthood, and most importantly, Sanger herself to look at the founder of the contraceptive movement that has evolved into the abortion movement. From Planned Parenthood on Margret Sanger: “Was Sanger Racist? Arguments continue about whether or not her outreach to the Black community was racist. We know that Sanger was conscious of race, and that she was capable of revolutionary thinking that defied sexism of the time. She did not apply that revolutionary thinking to race and class, choosing instead to follow the paternalistic attitudes of the time and willfully ignoring how Black people were harmed by her movement. However, there is no evidence that Sanger, or the Federation, intended to coerce Black women into using birth control: “The fundamental belief, underscored at every meeting, mentioned in much of the behind-the-scenes correspondence, and evident in all the printed material put out by the Division of Negro Service, was that uncontrolled fertility presented the greatest burden to the poor, and Southern blacks were among the poorest Americans. In fact, the Negro Project did not differ very much from the earlier birth control campaigns in the rural South...it would have been more racist, in Sanger's mind, to ignore African Americans in the South than to fail at trying to raise the health and economic standards of their communities” (“Birth Control or Race Control,” 2001).” There are several issues here. First, Sanger herself was an ardent supporter of sterilizing the “unfit”. Quote “As an advocate of birth control, I wish to take advantage of the present opportunity to point out the unbalance between the birth of the ‘unfit' and the fit. Admittedly the greatest present menace to civilization, can never be rectified by the inauguration of a cradle competition between these classes.” -Sanger 1919 This was not simply one race, but many for the average eugenist. The Appalachian, the Southern Italian, the Jew, the Black were all common targets of Sanger's peers in the movement. She was somewhat tight lipped about race, though those she considered to be mentally unfit were fair game (again the issue of IQ was often deduced by race through weighted IQ tests as scholars like Edwin Black are quick to point out.) However, let's look at her actions and words as they speak volumes about her end goals. More from Planned Parenthood “However, it is true that Margaret Sanger made a speech on birth control to a women's auxiliary branch of the Ku Klux Klan in Silver Lake, New Jersey, in 1926 (Sanger, 1938, 366). Sanger was so intent on her mission to advocate for birth control that she chose to align herself with ideologies and organizations that were explicitly ableist and white supremacist. In doing so, she undermined reproductive freedom Black people, Latino people, Indigenous people, immigrants, people with disabilities, people with low incomes, and many others…” But these were the targets of the Eugenics movement. Just recontextualize this with any other person who is not affiliated with Planned Parenthood. Someone who believed in breeding better humans, proposed her ideas to racists, who then furthered her cause. But she was not a racist. She only did racist things surrounded by racist people. “Sanger and Eugenics Eugenics is the theory that society can be improved through planned breeding for “desirable traits” like intelligence and industriousness. In the early 20th century eugenic ideas were popular among highly educated, privileged, and mostly white Americans. Margaret Sanger pronounced her belief in and alignment with the eugenics movement in her writings, especially in the scientific journal Birth Control Review. At times, Sanger tried to argue for a eugenics that was not applied based on race or religion (Katz, 1995, 47).” Point of order, this is what someone else has postulated posthumously to save the face of Planned Parenthood. “But in a society built on the belief of white supremacy, physical and mental fitness are always judged based on race. Eugenics, therefore, is inherently racist.” Sanger also argued that reproductive choices should be made by each woman, not by the state. “Eugenists imply or insist that a woman's first duty is to the state; we contend that her duty to herself is her first duty to the state. We maintain that a woman possessing an adequate knowledge of her reproductive functions is the best judge of the time and conditions under which her child should be brought into the world. We further maintain that it is her right, regardless of all other considerations, to determine whether she shall bear children or not, and how many children she shall bear if she chooses to become a mother. ... Only upon a free, self-determining motherhood can rest any unshakable structure of racial betterment” (Sanger, 1919a).” Also from Sanger: “A marriage license shall in itself give a husband and a wife only the right to a common household and not the right to parenthood.” Sanger- Article 3, 27 March 1934 This provokes the question: Was she speaking about two different groups of people? She often referred to the fit and unfit. She doubled down even further in the same publication when she wrote: “No woman shall have the legal right to bear a child and no man shall have the right to become a father without a permit for parenthood.” These last two quotes came after Sanger supported the Supreme Court Decision Buck v Bell. “Yet Sanger's points of disagreement did not prohibit her from embracing harmful eugenic ideas. For example, she endorsed the 1927 Buck v. Bell decision, in which the Supreme Court ruled that states could forcibly sterilize people deemed “unfit” without their consent and sometimes without their knowledge. The acceptance of this decision by Sanger and other thought leaders laid the foundation for tens of thousands of people to be sterilized, often against their will. (Chesler, 1992, 485) A majority of states would go on to adopt involuntary sterilization policies, leading to more than 60,000 people being sterilized by the states in the 20th century. These policies targeted people with disabilities and people broadly labeled “feebleminded” or “mentally defective” by the state. Sterilization policies were violently ableist, and were applied in deeply racist ways. In the South, so many Black women were given unnecessary hysterectomies that it gave rise to the euphemism “Mississippi appendectomy.” In California, 20,000 people were sterilized between 1909 and 1979, among them a disproportionate number of Black, Mexican American, and Asian American people. In the 1970s and 80s, Indigenous women were sterilized at staggering rates, without their consent: At least 25% of Native American women were sterilized between 1970 and 1976. The ripples of the Buck v. Bell decision are still felt today. In 2020 at Irwin County Detention Center in Georgia, immigrant detainees were sterilized against their will. Sterilization policies in the U.S. in the 1930s would ultimately inspire some of the worst human rights atrocities in the history of the world, including the Nazi regime's eugenics laws. While Sanger was not associated with Nazism — her books were among the first burned by Nazis in their campaign against family planning (“Sanger on Exhibit,” 1999/2000), and she helped several Jewish women and men and others escape the Nazi regime in Germany (“Margaret Sanger and the ‘Refugee Department',” 1993) — she is not absolved of her endorsement of Buck v. Bell and the harm it caused. Sanger's belief in eugenics undermined reproductive freedom and caused irreparable damage to the health and lives of generations of Black people, Latino people, Indigenous people, immigrants, people with disabilities, people with low incomes, and many others. Planned Parenthood denounces Margaret Sanger's belief in eugenics.” Sanger may not have liked where things ended up in Germany, but she had already met the Nazis half way with the Buck v Bell case. It is important to note, that she shifted her approach in light of the Nazi situation, but Edwin Black in his book “The War Against the Weak” is clear to note that he does not believe that Sanger was a racist, but consorted with the worst of them. Why might she have done this? She would say herself: “These two words (Birth Control) sum up our whole philosophy. It means the release and cultivation of the better elements in our society, and the gradual suppression, elimination, and eventual extinction of defective stocks… Those human weeds which threaten the finest flowers of American Civilization.” -Sanger “Highlights in the History of Birth Control” October 1923. All of our problems are the result of overbreeding among the working class… Knowledge of birth control is essentially moral. Its general, though prudent, practice must lead to a higher individuality and ultimately a cleaner race.” -Sanger “Morality and Birth Control.” Feb 1918. She may have even had good intentions. But shouldn't that scare us all the more? Should this idea that all of this was done for the betterment of the human race and female sex be all the more frightening? We need a standard.

Parsha Talk with Rabbis Malomet, Kalmanofsky and Chesler. This week is the 4th of the special Shabbatot before Pesach, each with a special maftir [additional reading] and haftarah [prophetic reading]. Next week is also special; it is the Shabbat before Pesach and is called Shabbat Ha-gadol, for reasons which fall far short of unanimous agreement. While Shabbat Ha-gadol does have a special haftarah, there is no special maftir. Perhaps more on that next week! The weekly reading is Thazria [Leviticus 12-13], flying solo so to speak this year [in many years it is paired with M'tzorah, which this year we read next week]. The seventh aliyah, which is normally the end of the weekly reading, is from Numbers 28:9-15, in honor of Rosh Chodesh, the first day of the Hebrew month Nisan.. The maftir is from Exodus [12:1-20], and details the preparation for Pesach Mitzrayim, the Passover as celebrated in Egypt. While Thazria, which is primarily about the disease commonly, but mistakenly according to most scholars, called leprosy, and the elaborate priestly ritual for dealing with it, we discussed chapter 12 [at 8 verses, one of, if not the shortest, in the Torah], which has to do with the status of a woman who has given birth to a boy or a girl [each has a different status]. It also includes the law of circumcision, which was first mentioned in Genesis in the context of Abraham and the covenant. Most of our conversation this week focused on circumcision and the Passover ritual in Exodus. We hope you enjoy! Shabbat Shalom!! Chodesh Tov!!!

The PFAS  family of chemicals is one stubborn bunch. They are a class of man-made products dubbed "forever chemicals," because of the difficulty of removing them from the environment, humans, and other animals.  They are also at the center of sprawling litigation around the country involving alleged property damage, water contamination, and bodily injury. More than 1,500 cases are consolidated in closely-watched multi-district litigation in federal court in South Carolina.  In a previous episode I interviewed two environmental scientists about this tenacious and ubiquitous group of chemicals. In upcoming episodes we will interview a plaintiff attorney who represents individuals and water companies, and another who specializes in medical monitoring. In this episode, we will discuss the insurance coverage aspects of PFAS-related claims -- which is a huge part of determining who and how eventual remedies will be paid for.  Listen to my interview with Anderson Kill's Robert D. Chesler, a preeminent expert on insurance coverage law especially in the context of highly complex long-tail claims scenarios involving multiple parties and events that can span decades and always cost many millions of dollars.  Considered by many to be an insurance guru on these cases -- as well as on D&O, cyber and privacy, and intellectual property insurance -- Bob holds a Ph.D. and masters degree from Princeton University, and a J.D. (cum laude) from Harvard Law School. This podcast is the audio companion to the Journal on Emerging Issues in Litigation, and Bob is one of our most valued editorial advisors. The Journal is a collaborative project between HB Litigation Conferences and the Fastcase legal research family, which includes Full Court Press, Law Street Media, and Docket Alarm. The podcast itself is a joint effort between HB and our friends at Law Street Media. If you have comments or wish to participate in one our projects, or want to tell me how much  you learned from Bob,  please drop me a note at Editor@LitigationConferences.com.Tom HagyHost and Litigation EnthusiastP.S. The fact that I make myself laugh during these interviews probably has less to do with the subject matter (most definitely, is more precise) or my sense of humor, and more to do with cabin fever.  Or I'm just nuts.

In our first two-part episode, we dive into the troubling existence of a group of chemicals referred to as PFAS, with the nickname "Forever Chemicals," because they stubbornly hang around in water, air, fish, soil, people, and animals.  PFAS -- which stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl  chemicals -- are man-made creations that have been used in industry and consumer products worldwide since the 1950s. There are more than 4,000 of them, so it's a big family. They can be found in non-stick cookware, water-repellent clothing, stain-resistant fabrics and carpets,  cosmetics,  firefighting foams, and products that resist grease, water, and oil. Studies have shown that exposure to some PFAS in the environment may be harmful to humans and animals.PFAS contamination has sparked some major litigation, with some cases involving hundreds or thousands of individuals that have settled for hundreds of millions of dollars. The PFAS issue is significant enough that  -- despite so many other pressing issues -- the White House made it a top priority, kicking eight federal departments into gear to tackle the situation.  It's a hot topic that's going to be with us for many years. In Part 1 of the episode, we discussed the PFAS from the scientific and environmental engineering perspective. And to do that I was fortunate to have  Jim Fenstermacher and Dr. Jaana Pietari from the global engineering firm Ramboll.  Jim and Jaana have deep experience in environmental remediation involving a variety of contaminants, including PFAS. In Part 2, I am joined by Robert Chesler of Anderson Kill. Bob is a long-time expert on insurance coverage for long-tail and other claims. He's considered a guru in the field, and has represented policyholders in disputes over coverage with insurers for as long as I've known him. It's a serious subject and these are seriously qualified folks. I did my part to make a mockery of scientific terms as I struggled to say the name of this family of chemicals. Fortunately for you my guests were much more linguistically nimble and it is their voices you will hear more of.  This podcast is the audio companion to the Journal on Emerging Issues in Litigation, a collaborative project between HB Litigation Conferences and the Fastcase legal research family, which includes Full Court Press, Law Street Media, and Docket Alarm.

He completed the program in 2008 and concurrently earned a postdoctoral Master of Science degree from The George Washington University, Washington, DC.  After graduation, he reported to Pearl Harbor, Hawai'i as the Endodontics department head. Lieutenant Commander Chesler was transferred back to the San Diego area in early 2011 where he served as the head of the Endodontics department at Marine Corps Air Station, Miramar. In 2015 he separated from the Navy after eleven years of active duty, but is currently a naval reservist. Dr. Chesler has remained academically active. In Hawai'i he was chairman of the annual Tri-Service Dental Symposium, providing lectures to all Oahu-based dental officers.  He is successfully mentoring promising junior officers to follow his training path. Annually, he attends the American Association of Endodontists continuing education program and stays abreast of the latest research by keeping up with multiple endodontic publications. He holds professional memberships with the American Dental Association, American Association of Endodontists, California Dental Association, and the San Diego County Dental Society.

Come join Rabbis Malomet, Chesler and Kalmanofsky for Parsha Talk. Any time one can reference “The Princess Bride” it is sure to bring a smile to one's face, so we are pleased that Parashat Ve-yehi [Genesis 47:28-50:26] provided us with that opportunity. We spend our time talking about Jacob at the end of his life, there are a couple of deathbed scenes, and Joseph at the end of his life. Genesis began with such hope, the Creation of a perfectly ordered world, and ends practically in despair, with the death of Joseph who can only make his brothers and descendants promise that when the people leave Egypt they will take his bones with them for burial in the Promised Land, underscoring the different experience after the death of Jacob, when the brothers at least were able to bury their father's remains at the Cave of Machpelah. We have successully concluded our journey through the book of Genesis which began 11 weeks ago with the first of the 12 parashiyot that make up the book. Even as we linger, we are looking forward to beginning the Book of Exodus. Shabbat Shalom!

Today's episode brings us on a journey of archaeology. Not the type with shovels and brushes, but rather a restorative archaeology that sheds light on the stories of women who are not well known in the history books. We speak with Fatima Sator, Ellen Chesler and Dan Plesch, two of the authors and the co-editor of a new book published this year called Women and the UN: A New History of Women's International Human Rights. It documents the stories of influential women, many from the global south, who dedicated their work to ensuring women's human rights were recorded in UN conventions,  treaties and documents. Despite this work, there is very little known about them and their contribution.   Fatima Sator is a communications specialist at International Committee of the Red Cross, author and gender equality researcher at School of Oriental and African Studies University of London, or SOAS.  Ellen Chesler is an author and Senior Fellow at CUNY's Ralph Bunche Institute for International Studies. They both contributed chapters to the book.   Dan Plesch is a co-editor of this volume, together with Rebecca Adami. He is the Director of the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy at SOAS.  We talk about why documenting these stories of women in our history matters for our understanding of multilateralism, and consider how we define multilateralism might to evolve to fully comprehend the  contribution of women to key multilateral decisions and documents that exist today.  Open Access Book “Women and the UN: A New History of Women's International Human Rights” - Open Access version online: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-edit/10.4324/9781003036708/women-un-rebecca-adami-dan-plesch   Book Resources  Project Page for Women and the UN:  https://www.soas.ac.uk/cisd/research/women-in-diplomacy/women-in-the-un-charter/  Open Global Rights article on the book:  https://www.openglobalrights.org/women-and-the-un-a-new-history-of-womens-international-human-rights/?lang=English  TEDx PlaceDesNations talk with Fatima Sator and Elise Diettrichson - "These women changed your life": These Women Changed Your Life | Elise Luhr Dietrichson & Fatima Sator | TEDxPlaceDesNationsWomen  "Women founders of the UN" - SOAS conference with Rebecca Adami  Women and Girls Rising: Progress and resistance around the world, edited by Ellen Chesler and Terry McGovern:  https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/10.4324/9781315708379/women-girls-rising-ellen-chesler-terry-mcgovern  Content Speakers: Ellen Chesler, Fatima Sator and Dan Plesch Host: Natalie Alexander Editor & Producer: Natalie Alexander Social media designs: Natalie Alexander Recorded & produced at the United Nations Library & Archives Geneva

We have a special edition of Parashah Talk for Rosh Hashanah, whose conversation focuses mostly on the shofar and what it means to us to blow it and to listen to it. Because of the way Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur fall this year we will be back with a Yom Kippur edition in about two weeks. With best wishes for a Shanah Tovah U-m'tukah, a good and sweet year. May we all be inscribed for a year of blessing and Torah study!

Parashat Shoftim [Deuteronomy 16:9-21:9] with its miscellany of laws is a kind of prequel to Parashat Ki Tetze [Deuteronomy 21:10-25:19], which has the largest number of mitzvot [commandments] of any single parashah, well over 10% of the rabbinic total of 613. Shoftim, which means judges, focuses on the different kinds of leaders: judges, kings, clergy, and prophets. There are also rules for warfare, among other subjects. One feature which we did not address is the last occurrence in the Torah of the lex talion [the law of revenge, better known as ‘an eye for an eye']. In these parashiyot in particular, there is much to talk about: what laws meant in their original context, what they mean today, what they mean to us as individuals. If I say I am uncertain what it all means, after you listen, you will understand this reference! Shabbat Shalom!!

How many companies do you know of that operated at a $500 million run rate within five years of their launch? We're guessing it's a handful, at most. Now, factor into that group companies whose business models are centered around food waste, and you'll likely end up with a list of one: Imperfect Foods. Launched in 2015, the San Francisco-based company sells misshapen or mildly flawed produce along with overstocked packaged food and beverages to consumers via a subscription-based online delivery service. Imperfect claims that its prices are 30% less than conventional grocers and that in 2020, it rescued over 52 million pounds of food. Last year marked the fourth consecutive year of triple-digit growth, according to the company, which counts a subscriber base of over 350,000 customers. Investors have taken notice of its rapid rise. Earlier this year, the company announced a $115 million Series D funding round, just nine months after picking up $72 million in new capital, the total of which is intended to bolster its production capacity, accelerate its private label program and enhance customer experience. This episode features an interview with Imperfect Foods co-founder Benjamin Chesler, who created the business alongside former CEO Ben Simon while they were still in college. Our conversation explores the company's roots and mission to reduce food waste on a massive scale, their initial business plan and pitch to early investors and how the company attempts to equally manage social focus and profitability. Chesler also discussed Imperfect's pricing and UX strategies and the process for incorporating branded items into its product selection. Show notes: 0:42: Interview: Benjamin Chesler, Co-Founder, Imperfect Foods -- Taste Radio editor Ray Latif sat down with Chesler and discussed their shared history in Greater Boston, the entrepreneur's activism in high school, which continued into college as the co-founder of Food Recovery Network, a student led program that reduces food waste on university campuses. He also spoke about how, as Imperfect Foods' first COO, he established systems that would provide a lasting foundation for the company, the motivation for its customers to subscribe to its service and why it expanded beyond produce and into other grocery items in 2019. Later, Chesler explained how Imperfect communicates quality as a seller of food that would typically be discarded, his style of leadership and his personal involvement in other sustainability initiatives beyond Imperfect Foods.

Parashat Re'eh [Deuteronomy 11:26-16:17] is a special one in my family (BC)because it was the parashah when both my girls became Bat Mitzvah in the synagogue, 11 years apart. It is special in the book of Deuteronomy because it is the beginning of the core of the book, according to modern scholars, which extends into Parashat Ki Tavo, in another 3 weeks. One of the tropes of Deuteronomy is the centralization of worship, where our conversation begins. It ends somewhere down the road a piece. Shabbat Shalom!

Parashat Eqev [Deuteronomy 7:12-11:28] features, among other things, the 2nd paragraph of the Shema [11:13-21], which we discuss in light of its last line and the general Deuteronomic theme of שכר ועונש [s'khar v-o'nesh, reward & punishment], the biblical source for ברכת המזון [birkat ha-mazon, grace after meals], which we discuss in the context of how punctuation informs meaning, and the rabbinic limit on praise of God in תפילה [t'fillah, prayer] (10:17), which we do not discuss at all! We do get to a few verses of the haftarah [prophetic portion, Isaiah 49:14-51:3]. It is a lively conversation! Comments and criticisms are welcome at parshatalk@gmail.com.

I (BC)am posting this from Cleveland, to where I have come for the funeral of my dearest and best friend, David Graham Foster, affectionately known as Fuzz [at least in my circle] for nearly all the fifty years we were friends. תהי נשמתו צרורה בצרור החיים. May his soul be bound up in the bond of eternal life. יהי זכרו ברוך. May his memory be for a blessing. Parashat Va-etchanan [Deuteronomy 3:23-7:11] contains, among other things of note, both the first paragraph of the Sh'ma [6:4-9] and the retelling of the 10 Commandments [5:6-17]. As Eliot explains in his introduction, it is the kind of parashah where we could spend an hour on each verse. We give ourselves about a half hour, 35 minutes most weeks, so there is much we do not get to. One of the reasons I like Parashah Talk myself is because each week I learn something. I know that I will not be saying the Sh'ma again in quite the same way! Let us know what you think at parshatalk@gmail.com. Shabbat Shalom!

Parashat Devarim [Deuteronomy 1:1-3:22] always coincides with Shabbat Hazon [“Hazon” is the first word of the haftarah, Isaiah 1:1-27], the Shabbat before the commemoration of Tisha B'Av [the 9th of the Hebrew month Av], which commemorates the destruction of the two Temples, among other tragedies which have befallen the Jewish people, going back to the day the Israelites were punished for the negative report of the 10 spies [Numbers 13-14]. We spend about half of our time talking about the importance and place of Deuteronomy, and the other half talking about the haftarah and Tisha B'Av. As always, comments and criticisms are welcome at parshatalk@gmail.com. Shabbat Shalom!

Ben Chesler has been a social entrepreneur since before he really knew what the words meant. He just liked solving problems. While in high school he co-founded a non-profit that went on to raise $100,000+ to combat the child sex trade. In college, he started the Food Recovery Network to bridge the gap and recover food and donate it to food banks and shelters in the community. Over the next 4 years, they scaled Food Recovery Network to 200 colleges across the country, and it became the largest student movement against hunger in the US. Ben kicks off our discussion by answering my question to force rank Customers, Employees, Planet and Investors. Listen how our answers differ. Ben also talks about starting Imperfect Foods and some of the mistakes that were made and the benefits of not always knowing the “proper” way of starting a business. He shares how the press was helpful to their launch and it was not customer acquisition. Ben shares why they chose to register as a B-corporation. He also discusses his different roles within the company and the one that he has settled on now. “I think that I really believe in the power of, you know, young people with ideas to change the world. And I don't believe that, you know, you have to be an expert to solve a problem.” - Ben CheslerToday on Startups for Good we cover:Starting a business while still in collegeHow to hire the right people and how to know they are rightRaising money from venture capitalistsThe differences from impact investors vs traditional investorsStarting a company with a friendThe highs and lows of starting a companyCreating good jobs for the employeesConnect with Ben on LinkedIn and check out Imperfect FoodsSubscribe, Rate & Share Your Favorite Episodes!Thanks for tuning into today's episode of Startups For Good with your host, Miles Lasater.

本期我们讨论一个解决食物浪费问题的创业企业案例，这家企业的名字叫做不完美食物，英文名称Imperfect foods，公司总部位于美国旧金山。我们将介绍不完美食物如何提出新的价值主张，通过食物供应链改造减少食物浪费。食物浪费是一个全球性问题，也有许多不同的解决思路。比如我们经常听到的光盘行动，或者开会时吃萝卜皮，这是在餐饮环节的解决方案。不完美食物所针对的则是食物在生产出来之后的采购和分销环节，所以称其为供应链改造方案。据说，农场产出中至少有20%的产品不符合采购要求。自然条件下种植，很多时候会收获一些不标准的农产品。比如外观特别、有分叉的胡萝卜，颜色和形状不自然的西红柿，还有一些采摘过程中导致的疤痕。这些产品仍然是可以食用的，但的确不符合绝大多数生鲜超市的进货标准。其中有些可以少量利用，比如做果汁、沙拉或用于加工食品，有些捐赠给慈善机构，有些成为垃圾，作为肥料，或者当作动物饲料。无论这些产品最终去了哪里，生产它们的农户多半无法获得收入。食物浪费的背后则是碳排放和水资源消耗，生产食物所产生的碳排放仅次于交通和住房。这就是不完美食物公司的业务起点。它从农户和其他供应商手中收购这些称为丑果的不符合超市采购标准的农产品，还有其他的过剩产品，以大约相当于超市7折的价格出售给自己的顾客。成立五年来，不完美公司已经在美国43个州开展业务，订户数量达到40万。第一次订购的顾客通常对送来的产品不抱很高的期待，但顾客往往不知道购买农产品的批发商和超市在采购标准方面有多么严格。许多顾客认为自己收到的农产品并不像想像的那样丑陋，也不会影响他们的胃口。除了订购信息，顾客可以从账户中清楚地看到自己为减少食物浪费所做的贡献，包括挽回食物的份量，换算成节省的水和减少排放的二氧化碳，由此将环境责任游戏化，让顾客在消费过程中获得自我肯定。每当达成重大指标时还会发放奖励、贺卡、意外的商品或小礼品，比如一个手提袋。所有的游戏和营销活动都围绕着购买不完美食物就是做好事这样一个简单的理念，由此建立对品牌的忠诚。公司在送货箱外面写道，你的采购支持了农民，节省了食物、土地和劳动。不完美反复提醒顾客，他们的购买行为降低了食物的价格和可得性，还能够欣赏多样性的美好，包括不同外观、形状、大小和颜色的农产品。[i]不完美食物的创始人是两位刚刚大学毕业的年轻人Ben Chesler和Ben Simon，他们在大学期间注意到学校里面的食物浪费并采取了行动。2011年，Simon在马里兰大学上学期间创办了一家志愿者组织“食品找回网络”FRN（Food Recovery Networ），他们收集学校餐厅里的剩余食品，捐赠给慈善机构。这家组织发展很快，现在已经有200所大学参加。另一位创始人Chesler就是这一网络的成员并担任布朗大学的负责人。2014年，法国超市Intermarché发起公益促销广告，“不名誉的水果蔬菜”，向顾客介绍那些外形不完美但口感和营养没有区别的水果蔬菜。这一活动取得巨大成功，光是在法国就有1600万人观看了广告。调查显示，Intermarché店内人流增加了24%，水果蔬菜的销售增长了10%。一些美国超市也开始学习，在店内销售丑果，不过后来这些企业多数停止了这项业务。原因可能有很多，比如与超市的品牌形象不一致，影响标准食品销售等。Simon和Chesler同样受到这一活动的鼓舞，他们认为可以在现有超市系统之外建立一种新的模式，用商业的方法解决不完美食物的销售问题。2014年，Simon和Chesler邀请到一位资深的食物银行采购专家，三人联合发起创业。他们在众筹网站上募集了38000美元，加上自己的2万美元，开始了不完美的创业历程。参考教材《战略管理》希尔、琼斯、周长辉著《管理学原理》韩瑞著《创业管理》吴何著《战略管理》（第2版）李振福、孙忠著《现代企业管理》（第2版）吴何著

Ben Chesler was finding - and fixing - broken food systems before he even got to college. As a freshman, Ben cofounded the Food Recovery Network, a non-profit that feeds the hungry with excess food from college dining halls. Now with chapters in over 100 colleges nationwide, it's donated over 700,000 pounds of perfectly good food that would otherwise have gone to waste.
