Arabic culture and literature hold a vastly rich classical history that continues to captivate scholars and readers worldwide. Renowned literary critic and Columbia University professor, Dr. Muhsin Al-Musawi, explores the depths of this heritage, from the global allure of the Arabian Nights to the historical dynamic of Baghdad's intellectual hubs. The discussion delves into how translation served as a window between cultures, the contested notion of an age of decay, and the brilliant prose of modern artists like Jabra Ibrahim Jabra. Reflecting on his own career of writing out of love and devotion rather than mere scholarship, Dr. Al-Musawi critiques how literary prizes can drive trendy imitation instead of a genuinely creative mind.   00:00 Introduction 01:57 The Roots of Passionate Scholarship 05:19 Baghdad's Layered Intellectual Landscapes 09:51 Cultural Solace & the Ambition of Translation 12:26 Confronting the Global Legacy of the Arabian Nights 14:55 Literary Taste & the Metamorphosis of Translation 19:40 The Romantic Search for Spaces Without Borders 26:27 The Vastness of Classical Traditions & the True Renaissance 28:53 Intellectual Intersections & the Republic of Letters 33:15 Challenging the Conventional Notion of an Age of Decay 39:45 Jabra Ibrahim Jabra & the Topography of an Artist 44:58 Curating a Diverse Core Arabic Fiction Curriculum 49:33 Trendy Prizes & the Necessity of the Creative Mind   Muhsin Jassim al-Musawi is Professor of Classical and Modern Arabic Literature, Comparative and Cultural Studies at Columbia University.

Is it wrong to judge others? Jesus said, “Judge not that you be not judged” (Mt. 7:1). Did the Savior mean we should never offer an opinion challenging the doctrine or lifestyle choices of someone else? Or is the correct interpretation much different?

Kalorien, Makros und Aktivitätsdaten versprechen Kontrolle – doch wie verlässlich sind Tracking-Apps, Portionsangaben und die Kalorien der Smartwatch wirklich? Wir erklären, für wen Ernährungstracking sinnvoll sein kann, welche typischen Fehler die Ergebnisse verfälschen, wann der Zahlenfokus problematisch wird und wie man das Tracking später wieder ausschleicht. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dominiks Buch zur pflanzenbasierten Sporternährung im UTB-Verlag: https://www.utb.de/doi/book/10.36198/9783838560328 Dominiks Gesundheitscommunity: www.gsundes-hannover.de Dominiks Online-Knie-Kurs: https://gsundes-hannover.de/knieschmerzen/ Dominiks Online-Rücken-Kurs: https://copecart.com/products/34bd5abb/checkout Marcs veganes Online-Fitness-Coaching: https://vegainer-academy.com/ Marcs Online-Kurs: https://www.copecart.com/products/a50f88f2/checkout ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Werbung: Dieser Podcast wird unterstützt von der Firma Watson Nutrition.

Sie beschreiben statistisch modellierte Bereiche, die in den untersuchten Populationen nur von einem kleinen Anteil erreicht wurden. Aus den Daten lässt sich daher nicht ableiten, dass ein bestimmter Mensch einen höheren Wert unabhängig von Training, Ernährung und Zeit grundsätzlich niemals erreichen kann. 00:55:20–00:55:43 und 00:57:09–00:57:28 Einordnung: Ein tatsächlich bestehendes und über längere Zeit anhaltendes Energiedefizit führt zum Abbau gespeicherter Körperenergie. Aus den von einer Tracking-App angezeigten Zahlen lässt sich jedoch nicht sicher schließen, dass dieses Defizit auch wirklich besteht. Fehler bei Portionsgrößen, Lebensmitteldaten und der Schätzung des Energieverbrauchs sind möglich. Kurzfristig kann der Gewichtsverlauf außerdem durch Wasserhaushalt, Verdauungsinhalt, Zyklus, Medikamente oder Erkrankungen überlagert werden. 00:59:09–00:59:51 Einordnung: Dass eine niedrigere Energiezufuhr nach einiger Zeit leichter fällt, belegt nicht automatisch die Entwicklung eines neuen biologischen „Setpoints“. Ebenso denkbar sind Anpassungen der Gewohnheiten, der Mahlzeitenzusammensetzung, der Appetitwahrnehmung und des Umgangs mit Hunger. Die Regulation des Körpergewichts ist komplex und lässt sich nicht auf einen einzelnen festen Sollwert reduzieren. 01:11:55–01:12:30 Einordnung: Mikronährstoffwerte aus Tracking-Apps sind nicht grundsätzlich wertlos, häufig aber deutlich unvollständiger und unsicherer als Angaben zu Energie und Makronährstoffen. Fehlende Datenbankwerte bedeuten nicht, dass ein Lebensmittel den betreffenden Nährstoff nicht enthält. Die Angaben können Hinweise auf mögliche Ernährungsmuster geben, eignen sich aber weder zur sicheren Beurteilung des Versorgungsstatus noch zur Diagnose eines Mangels. 01:26:25–01:26:53 Einordnung: Das Beispiel einer möglichen Nutzung von Apple-Health-Daten für personalisierte Werbung war hypothetisch. Apple erklärt, Gesundheitsdaten aus der Health-App nicht für seine Werbeplattform zu verwenden. Bei anderen Apps und verbundenen Drittanbietern können die Regelungen abweichen. Entscheidend sind daher die jeweils geltende Datenschutzerklärung, erteilte Einwilligungen und die tatsächlich verbundenen Dienste. 01:28:28–01:28:39 Einordnung: Die Nutzung einer datenschutzkonformen Coaching-Software entbindet Coaches oder andere Behandelnde nicht automatisch von ihrer eigenen datenschutzrechtlichen Verantwortung. Je nach Ausgestaltung bleiben sie für die Verarbeitung verantwortlich und müssen unter anderem Zweck, Rechtsgrundlage, Zugriffsrechte, Auftragsverarbeitung und sichere Speicherung prüfen. Die Wahl einer geeigneten Software ist dabei nur ein Bestandteil der erforderlichen Maßnahmen. Quellenverzeichnis Alhammad, N., Alajlani, M., Abd-alrazaq, A., Epiphaniou, G., & Arvanitis, T. (2024).

In Revelation 12, John sees a “great wonder in heaven”—a “woman clothed with the sun…and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.” The Catholic interpretation assigns this image to Mary, the mother of Jesus, to help prove their claim that she is now the Queen of heaven. Is this true? Let's subject this highly symbolic chapter to proper exegesis and see if it fits the Catholic narrative.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project: www.toCatholicswithlove.orgPurchase Mike Shreve's popular book comparing over 20 religions: In Search of the True Light Mike Shreve's other podcast: Discover Your Spiritual Identity—a study on the biblical names given to God's people https://www.charismapodcastnetwork.com/show/discoveryourspiritualidentity All video podcasts are posted on YouTube.

**This episode is general information only and is not medical advice. If any of it applies to you, please talk it through with your own GP or psychiatrist**Have you ever walked out of a psychiatrist's office more confused than when you walked in? Not sure what just happened, whether you got a diagnosis, what you were supposed to ask, or whether the thing you were terrified of — coming across like you were just there for the stimulants — is exactly what you did. For a lot of women getting an ADHD assessment at 40, the appointment itself is the black box. Nobody tells you the order to see a GP, psychologist and psychiatrist in, what happens if your school reports are gone and your parents have died, why they start you on one medication and not another, or what a drug holiday actually is.So this week Jane sat a psychiatrist down and asked him to open the box. Dr Brendan Daugherty walks through the whole thing — the pathway, the assessment, how they choose your first medication, and the one thing that makes these appointments go better. Bring the questions you've been too embarrassed to ask.CHAPTERS00:00 — Walking out more confused than when you walked in02:36 — GP, psychologist, psychiatrist — the actual order, and when to skip a step04:38 — Have the waitlists really improved?

Wie ist das eigentlich bei euch? Inwieweit beeindrucken euch vermeintlich perfekt erzogene Hunde? Für mich ist das eher nichts. Mich haben Menschen mit zu perfekt trainierten Hunden Zwar schon oft beeindruckt. Aber eher nicht im positiven Sinne.

Several popular Christian worship songs propose that believers can breathe in the Spirit of God. A respected Charismatic pastor recently put out a video teaching greater peace can be achieved by inhaling deeply and saying, “I breathe you in Holy Spirit.” Is such an action even possible? Can our lungs contain the presence of God or does He dwell in our hearts? Is there a difference between human breath and the breath of God? Is this concept a mixed bag of biblical, far eastern, and new age beliefs? These important questions must be answered.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.netMinistry website: www.shreveministries.orgThe Catholic Project: www.toCatholicswithlove.orgVideo channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministriesAll audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.Mike Shreve's other podcastYour Spiritual Identity—a study on the biblical names given to God's people: https://www.charismapodcastnetwork.com/show/discoveryourspiritualidentityMail: P.O.

Early childhood development lays the foundation for a child's future, with the first five years playing a crucial role in shaping brain development, emotional well-being, language skills, and overall health. Experiences during this period have a lasting impact on a child's ability to learn, adapt, and thrive.Realising these benefits, however, depends on consistent and adequate financing. Investments in early childhood programmes help children develop to their full potential while enabling women to participate in the workforce.As part of our ongoing collaboration with Mobile Creches, we bring to you the fifth and final episode of the series, where we talk about prioritising funding Early Childhood Development.To have this conversation, we are joined by Shekufeh Zonji, who is the Global Technical Lead at Early Childhood Development Action Network. She has worked extensively for Early childhood development and rural development and has a background in Comparative and International Education.Hosted and Produced by Niharika NandaEdited and Mixed by Suresh Pawar Links to episode in association with Mobile Creches:Episode 1Episode 2Episode 3Episode 4

One of the most mysterious figures in the Bible is Melchizedek, King of Salem, who was also a priest of the Most High God (Gen. 14). Many believe he was a “Christophany”: a bodily appearance of the Christ during the Old Testament era. Is “the order of Melchizedek,” mentioned in Psalm 110, prophetic of New Covenant believers—king/priests who will minister to God forever? Let's unravel the mystery together.Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

On July 16, 1251, a Catholic priest named Simon Stock claimed to have a vision of Mary. At the time, he was the sixth Superior General of the Carmelite Order (a group of friars based in Cambridge, England). Supposedly, Mary presented a brown scapular to Simon (a type of religious garment) promising that whoever died wearing it would escape the fires of hell. Is there any validity to such a fantastical story?Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

A bloody ear, thumb, and toe—Why?In the Old Covenant, only the natural offspring of Aaron, the high priest, could be included in the priesthood.

Jesus is called the “true light,” the “true bread,” the “true vine,” and “the true witness” in Scripture? To label something “true” implies the existence of a counterfeit that is false. What do these four unique symbols mean? Most importantly, why did Jesus warn His people, “Take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness”?

Independent researcher Gary Leckey joins Gary Cocciolillo for a wide-ranging exploration of the patterns connecting consciousness, frequency, nature, technology, and ancient spiritual systems. They discuss Leckey's Harmonic Nexus model, artificial ionospheres and spacecraft shielding, emotional resonance between people, sacred geometry, cymatics, AI, simulation theory, reincarnation, and the possibility that consciousness is reality reflecting through different forms. This conversation moves from speculative physics to mysticism and asks one central question: Are the same underlying patterns repeating through nature, culture, technology, and consciousness?AppleSpotify

Politics, parties and campaigning are all changing. AI, digital tools and the rapid spread of messages all mean that the conduct and content of politics are changing. In many respects, it feels like the only constant is change. But closer observation often illuminates a patchier picture with elements of change and elements that remain. Moreover, change can be more evolutionary than revolutionary, and the change is not always along the lines we might predict. So, how and in what ways is political campaigning changing? What role are digital tools playing? What do citizens want from their political parties, and what are they (or could be) doing to meet those desires and expectations? Join Tim Haughton and guest Kate Dommett for a discussion of campaigning, digital politics and political parties. Kate Dommett is Professor of Digital Politics at the University of Sheffield. Among her many publications are The Reimagined Party: Democracy, change and the public, published by Manchester University Press in 2020, and a co-authored book with Glenn Kefford & Simon Kruschinski, Data Driven Campaigning and Political Parties: Five Advanced Democracies Compared, published by Oxford University Press in 2024.

During a recreational adult hockey league practice, the goalie skated backward into the crease after a drill and grabbed the top crossbar of the net while stretching and joking with other players. The ice had recently been resurfaced, and the net had not yet been properly secured to the ice. As the goalie leaned his body weight onto the frame, the goal tipped backward and struck him. In a negligence claim between the goalie and the arena, which team takes the blame? Notable Timestamps [ 01:03 ] - Establishing negligence requires meeting four elements, which include having a duty owed, a breach of that duty, a proximately caused injury, and damages. [ 02:20 ] - Even when negligence is successfully established during litigation, there are still potential defenses available, such as assumption of risk and contributory negligence. [ 04:50 ] - The assumption of risk doctrine might still apply even if a player is violating a rule during a game, as participants generally expect potential injury during physical activities. [ 07:11 ] - Some states utilize contributory negligence, which can technically bar a plaintiff from any recovery if they are found to have contributed at all to the incident. [ 11:03 ] - Comparative negligence rules vary, with some states allowing recovery if a person is up to 50% liable, while others require the individual's negligence to be 49% or less. [ 11:51 ] - Under a pure comparative standard, an injured person who is found to be 90% at fault for an incident can still recover the remaining 10% of their respective damages. [ 14:34 ] - In cases involving severe injuries, juries can sometimes be influenced to make decisions inconsistent with the letter of the law. [ 16:29 ] - The outcomes of these negligence defenses heavily depend on the specific state where the case is taking place, the laws that apply, and the overall makeup of the jury pool.

Misha Glenny and guests discuss the earliest evidence we have of the existence of trees and how even plants we might have on windowsills or as vegetables in gardens can and do, in the right conditions, evolve into trees. Since their emergence around 400 million years ago after low lying plants started to develop stronger stems and grow taller and more upright, trees have transformed our planet, so creating ecosystems, altering the atmosphere and setting the stage for the world as we know it today.

Hindus and New Agers often greet each other with a respectful gesture of folded hands and a slight bow as they utter the word “Namaste” (pronounced Nah-ma-stay'). Many yoga classes open with participants making this affirming statement toward their teacher and each other. Is this just an ordinary greeting like “Hello” or is there a deeper, spiritual connotation?

If you're dreaming of writing a nonfiction book, the book proposal isn't just a hoop to jump through — it's a clarity tool. Think of it as a business plan for your book, and one of the most valuable things you can do before you write a single chapter.In this episode, I walk through two of the most misunderstood (and most dreaded) sections of a book proposal: comp titles and your marketing plan.What I cover:What a book proposal actually is and why even self-publishing writers benefit from writing one before they begin.Comp titles demystified. “Comparative titles” are books similar to yours, and they're not a threat. They're proof that a market exists. I talk about how to find them (Amazon is a great starting point), what makes a strong comp, and how to position your book so it fills a slightly different need.Where would your book live in a bookstore? This simple question can bring surprising clarity to your project and help publishers and booksellers understand exactly what you're offering.Your marketing plan. You don't need a massive social following. Email subscribers, speaking engagements, podcast guesting, and other platforms all count. I talk about what to include and how to think about it without the overwhelm.If the scope of all this feels paralyzing, that's normal, and it doesn't mean you're not ready. It might just mean you need someone to help you think it through.Book a free 30-minute discovery call at amylynnsimon.com/coaching to talk about where you are in your writing journey and whether coaching might be your next right step.The Purposeful Pen is a weekly podcast for Christian writers designed to help you build a writing life with eternal impact.

On this episode of Mind the Gap, Tom Sherrington and Emma Turner are joined by Daisy Christodoulou, Director of Education at No More Marking, for a fascinating conversation about assessment, comparative judgement, AI and what makes writing better. Daisy explains how comparative judgement offers a more reliable alternative to traditional rubric-based marking, why humans are often better at comparing two pieces of writing than assigning absolute grades, and how AI is now being used to support - not replace - teacher judgement. The discussion explores the promise and limitations of AI in assessing extended writing, the importance of keeping teachers “in the loop,” and how national writing comparisons can help schools understand standards beyond their own context. Along the way, Daisy unpacks what underpins strong writing and challenges the idea that pupils improve simply by writing more. She makes the case for breaking writing down, building component skills over time, and designing assessment systems that give teachers better insight without drowning them in marking.Daisy Christodoulou is the Director of Education at No More Marking, a provider of online Comparative Judgement software for schools. She is also the author of three books about education: Teachers vs Tech, Making Good Progress, and Seven Myths about Education. In November 2024, her first book about football was published: I Can't Stop Thinking about VAR. Before joining No More Marking, Daisy was Head of Assessment at Ark Schools, and before that, she was a secondary English teacher in London.Tom Sherrington has worked in schools as a teacher and leader for 30 years and is now a consultant specialising in teacher development and curriculum & assessment planning.

Jesus occupies a very prominent role in the Quran. He is mentioned 97 times in 93 verses (ayat). In Arabic, His name is Isa.

Most organizations are extraordinarily good at activity and extraordinarily bad at progress. Meetings that produce more meetings. Initiatives launched before the last ones landed. Leaders who are permanently busy and chronically stuck. This is not a strategy problem. It is a pattern problem, and patterns live in culture, not in org charts. This episode examines the invisible cycles that keep organizations in motion without forward momentum: the norms, assumptions, and unspoken rules that make dysfunction feel like diligence.  In this episode: Meagan Bond, Tom Bradshaw, LindaAnn Rogers, Nic Kruegar, Stacy Lee, Rich Cruz I/O Career Accelerator Course: https://www.seboc.com/job Visit us https://www.seboc.com/ Follow us on LinkedIn: https://bit.ly/sebocLI Join an open-mic event: https://www.seboc.com/events References: Dweck, C.

Anniversaries provide opportunities to take stock and reflect.

In the abbreviated Protestant form of “The Ten Commandments,” the second reads, “You shall not make for yourself a carved image.” However, that statement is omitted in the abbreviated list that Catholics use. Was this an intentional omission so that the Catholic use of statues would not be questioned? Or is there a different explanation?Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: http://www.toCatholicswithlove.org (English & Spanish) Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

What is “mindfulness”? Is it an acceptable practice? Is it helpful? This spiritual discipline is pervading our culture, though usually, in a watered-down form. The descriptive terms may seem inviting, but this approach to spirituality is primarily based on a Buddhist worldview. Is that compatible with Christianity? Let's dig deep and get answers.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: http://www.toCatholicswithlove.org (English & Spanish) Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

Catholic apologists often insist, “Jesus Did Not Leave Us a Bible; He Left Us a Church.” Such assertions are intended to cancel sole dependency on the Bible as the standard of acceptable Christian doctrines, practices, and traditions. Such a claim is also intended to increase trust in church traditions and the rulings of church hierarchy, even if they are not found in the Bible. Is this view right? Is it safe? Is it pleasing to God?Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: http://www.toCatholicswithlove.org (English & Spanish) Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.
