Eighty percent of the world's population can't see The Milky Way. Light pollution interferes. Author and adventurer Craig Childs, of Norwood, Colorado, writes about a trek from light to dark in his new book. "The Wild Dark" takes readers from the incandescence of Las Vegas to the spangled skies of rural Nevada. Childs spoke with Sr. Host Ryan Warner at this month's Mountain Words Festival in Crested Butte.
Today's daf is sponsored by Batsheva and Daniel Pava. "Eighty-one years ago, on bet Sivan, the deportation of Hungarian Jewry to Auschwitz began. May our learning be dedicated to the memory of my great-grandmother, Raizel, my grandmother, Batsheva bat Yisroel, the Steinmetz and Vegh families of Apsha, and all the Jews of Marmarosh who were murdered in Auschwitz. May their memories be a blessing." Rava rules that one who takes an oath to not eat a loaf of bread, even if they have already eaten most of it, as long as there is still an olive bulk of bread left, the person can go to a chacham to repeal the oath retroactively. How can this case work with both the language of "I will not eat any of it" and "I will not eat it in its entirety"? A source is brought regarding a nazir to raise a contradiction to Rava. However, it is resolved in three possible ways. Ameimar disagrees with Rava and holds that one has even longer to repeal the oath, as long as the punishment has not yet been implemented. Rava explains that if an oath is made with a condition, if the condition is fulfilled without intention, the oath does not take effect. If the person remembers the condition but forgets the oath when eating the forbidden item, one is liable to bring a sacrifice. If the person remembers both the condition and the oath when eating both, and first eats the one fulfilling the condition, they will receive lashes. If the person first eats the forbidden one and then eats the one fulfilling the condition, it is a debate between Rabbi Yochanan and Reish Lakish regarding a warning given in doubt, hatraat safek. Rava continues with another case where a person said that each item is forbidden on condition that they eat the other item. He discusses four possible permutations of what the person did unintentionally and intentionally and explains the law in each case. Rav Meri brings support from a Mishna and braita for Rava's principle in the above cases that if the condition is fulfilled unintentionally, the oath does not go into effect. Avimi asks his brother Eifa about the ruling in different cases of a double/overlapping oath. Each time Eifa answers, Avimi disagrees with Eifa's ruling.

Eighty four year-old Irma Thomas is the “Soul Queen of New Orleans.” Galactic is a band that’s spent the last three decades generating uncompromising funk music. Now, these cornerstones of the Crescent City are sharing a new collaboration — Audience With The Queen. Stewards of sonic heart that they are, Galactic fits perfectly alongside Thomas’ incomparable voice. And we expect “Where I Belong” will become a setlist staple for both artists.

I'm pleased to welcome Henry Abbott, the author of a new book called Ballistic: The New Science of Injury Free Athletic Performance! What an interesting conversation we had, and we went on a wide ranging journey through several topics of interest in modern big time sports. Henry has a longtime sports background–he is an award-winning journalist who led ESPN’s 60 person NBA digital and print team. So he is a longtime NBA guy behind the scenes, and in this episode, he tells us what it's like out there, touching on concerns like this crazy long 82 game season where we expect these powerful, explosive athletes to perform night after night—this kind of turns the sport into a severe long endurance grind where you can pretty much predict the athletes are going to get injured. So Henry went on a three year long quest to determine what cutting edge scientific advancements we have to measure and program athletes to train properly to prevent injury. The title Ballistic is interesting because he focuses on the importance of ballistic high impact training, which we typically shy away from, thinking that it's too traumatizing. I really appreciated this because you've probably heard me on the show talk often about my nagging minor injuries that are always a battle and a challenge as I strive to compete in masters track and field. So you're going to get some good tidbits and also learn what the top of the line athletes are doing—he references his connection to this training facility in Santa Barbara, California called P3, it's operated by an old triathlon friend of mine named Dr. Marcus Elliott, and he is doing some really interesting data collection and analysis. You will learn why Henry says that almost everyone has some sort of hip dysfunction, whether it's hip flexor weakness or a lack of mobility, and ways that you can progress to become more functional, especially in the three most important joints that control impact forces—the ankle, knee, and the hip. Enjoy this fun and wide ranging talk with Henry Abbott, and I highly recommend you read his book Ballistic, the New Science of Injury, Free Athletic Performance, which reveals a surprising takeaway: The explosive moves and ground impacts we often avoid in everyday workouts might provide the secret to an injury-free athletic life. TIMESTAMPS: The three most important joints that control impact forces are the ankle, knee and the hip. So how do we best take care of them? [03:01] The popularity of Track and Field is still struggling in comparison to other major sports. [05:00] What is it like to cover the NBA? What about the players being prone to injury? [08:09] Eighty-two games are too much for the players. Humans can't do more than five max effort workouts every two weeks before their performance declines and injuries skyrocket. [10:43] Are the players, trainers and coaches doing their best to prevent injuries? What is P3 in Santa Barbara? [12:12] In the book, Ballistic, Henry explains about the force at the moment of landing. [16:42] One of the most dangerous foot positions that a player can encounter is a toes-down landing. [20:11] We want the lower body to be loose, mobile, and flexible but we also want some areas stiff. How does it all come together? [25:01] Injuries occur when you come back down to earth, not by jumping up. It's the impact of landing. [28:17] You need to learn how to jump properly to prevent injury. [31:55] The WHO says immobility is the fourth leading cause of a global death. [35:23] Every athlete needs help with their hips. [36:17] Henry talks about dirty money and sports. There can be an adverse influence on sports. [43:09] What really makes a champion athlete is the work ethic, resilience, family-oriented, well-blanced lifestyle. [51:18] Is there any financial incentive in modern day NBA players to continue since they get so money? [56:31] Henry's book Ballistic talks about caring for your body...paying attention to it to prevent injuries, but also use your body to have fun.

Eighty years since Nazi Germany surrendered, Europe marks VE Day as the once unbreakable transatlantic bond faces new pressure under the "America First" president of Donald Trump. Christiane speaks with Finland's President, Alexander Stubb, about his relationship with Trump, the future of NATO and Ukraine, and the Russia-China anti-Western alliance. Them, with the fate of both the people of Gaza and the Israeli hostages still on the line, Israel's Deputy Foreign Minister, Sharren Haskel, talks to Christiane about the humanitarian crisis and the latest military escalation. Marking 25 years of Vladimir Putin's rule over Russia, Fred Pleitgen brings us a rare and highly stage-managed look at the Russian president's life at the Kremlin. Christiane also speaks with award-winning and best-selling novelist Isabelle Allende about her new book, "My Name is Emila Del Valle." From her archives, in honor of the 80th anniversary of VE Day, Christiane's conversation with 102-year-old WW2 veteran Jake Larson at the American Cemetary in Normandy. Papa Jake, as he is known, has become an unlikely TikTok star with over one million followers. And finally, as country music celebrated its biggest night of the year at the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards this week, Christiane revisited her conversation with industry titan and seven-time nominee Rosanne Cash, daughter of the legendary Johnny Cash.

President Xi Jinping has called on the world to draw wisdom and strength from the lessons of World War II, "resolutely resist all forms of hegemonism and power politics "and "work together to build a brighter future for humanity".Xi made the remarks in an article he wrote that was published by the Russian Gazette newspaper ahead of his arrival in Moscow on Wednesday for a state visit to Russia and to attend celebrations marking the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War.The four-day tour marks Xi's 11th trip to Russia since he became Chinese president. The two heads of state have met more than 40 times on different occasions over the years."Eighty years later today, however, unilateralism, hegemonism, bullying and coercive practices are severely undermining our world. Again humankind has come to a crossroads of unity or division, dialogue or confrontation, win-win cooperation or zero-sum games," Xi wrote in the article, which ran under the headline "Learning from History to Build Together a Brighter Future".In the article, he sent a stern warning to those who attempt to distort or overturn World War II history, reaffirmed Taiwan's return to China in 1945 as a key part of the post-war international order, and called for practicing true multilateralism and securing international rules and order."Eight decades later today, we must take all necessary measures to resolutely safeguard our sovereignty, security and development interests. We should be guardians of historical memory, partners in national development and rejuvenation, and champions of global fairness and justice," he said.This year also marks the 80th anniversary of the restoration of Taiwan, and Xi cited a series of documents with international legal effect, including the Cairo Declaration and the Potsdam Proclamation.These landmark documents confirmed China's sovereignty over Taiwan, and "the authority of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2758 cannot be challenged", he wrote."No matter how the situation on the Taiwan island evolves or what troubles external forces may make, the historical trend toward China's ultimate and inevitable reunification is unstoppable," Xi wrote.Beijing highly commends Russia for repeatedly reaffirming its commitment to the one-China principle, recognizing that Taiwan is an inalienable part of China's territory, and opposing any form of "Taiwan independence", Xi said.When urging the international community to uphold the correct view of the history of World War II, Xi noted that China and the Soviet Union served as mainstays of resistance against Japanese militarism and German Nazism, making pivotal contributions to the victory in the World Anti-Fascist War.In the first part of his article, Xi recalled his meeting 10 years ago in Russia with 18 Russian veterans, who endured the blood and fire of battlefields during the Soviet Union's Great Patriotic War and the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45).He also noted that the two nations helped each other during the war by means such as sending fighter planes and supplying weapons, rations and information."Any attempt to distort the historical truth of WWII, deny its victorious outcome, or defame the historic contribution of China and the Soviet Union is doomed to fail," he said.Countries should firmly safeguard the international system with the United Nations at its center, and advance an equal and orderly multipolar world and an economic globalization that benefits all, Xi said.He also urged the international community to uphold dialogue over confrontation, partnership over alliance, and win-win cooperation over zero-sum games."It is equally important to practice true multilateralism, accommodate the legitimate concerns of all parties, and safeguard international norms and order," said Xi.Regarding China-Russia ties, Xi called for both nations to jointly "foil all schemes to disrupt or undermine our bonds of amity and trust", saying that the two countries "must not be baffled by transient matters or unsettled by formidable challenges".He identified both countries as "major countries with significant influence in the world" and "constructive forces for maintaining global strategic stability and for improving global governance".The bilateral relationship is "neither directed against nor swayed by any third party", he said.
Rabbi Chananiah ben Akashia teaches us that Hashem desires to bestow abundant merit upon the Jewish people. For this reason, He gave us many mitzvot—each one an opportunity to earn immense spiritual reward. While the ultimate reward for mitzvot is reserved for the World to Come, Chazal teach that mitzvot also bring tremendous benefits in this world. Our sages explain that the Jewish people were not originally deserving of redemption from Egypt. It was only through the merit of two mitzvot that they were finally freed. The sea itself split in the merit of Yosef HaTzaddik, whose steadfast resistance to Eshet Potiphar became a merit for all of Klal Yisrael. The Midrash at the beginning of Parashat Ki Tavo tells us that Hashem gave the mitzvah of bikkurim (bringing the first fruits) to the Jewish people as a merit to help them enter the Land of Israel. The Torah also teaches that honoring one's parents brings the reward of long life. And in the merit of emunah , Chazal say, we will be redeemed from our current exile. There are countless examples of how mitzvot serve as a source of zechuyot . Every test and opportunity Hashem gives us is a chance to accumulate spiritual wealth that benefits not only us but our children and grandchildren for generations. We may not always see the full reward of a mitzvah, but we can be certain that every one of them helps us in unimaginable ways. A powerful modern example was shared by A.J. Gindi, the head of Renewal—an organization that helps kidney patients find life-saving matches. A woman with an extremely high PRA level came to the organization, desperately in need of a kidney. Due to her rare profile, the chance of finding a match was extraordinarily slim. Even Renewal's vast international database turned up nothing. They held a special donor event in the hopes of a miracle—and miraculously, a match was found. Before the transplant, the woman was asked what merit she believed had brought about such an unlikely success. She replied that she personally wasn't aware of any special merit, but she shared a story from her grandmother's experience during the Holocaust. While imprisoned in a concentration camp, her grandmother was shown rare kindness by an SS officer, who gave her a pass allowing her to move freely without being questioned. She thanked him and pleaded for passes for her parents as well, which he granted. Overjoyed to help her family, she returned with the passes—but was then approached by someone who begged her to obtain one more. At first, she refused, fearing that pushing further might result in the officer rescinding everything. But then the person explained: the pass wasn't for himself—it was for the Bobover Rebbe , who was in their barracks. "We must save his life," he said. The woman, a professional artist, decided to try to replicate an identical pass. She spent the entire night replicating it with precision. The pass was delivered to the Rebbe, and baruch Hashem , it saved his life. The kidney recipient concluded: "Perhaps in the merit of my grandmother saving a life, Hashem is now saving mine." After the successful transplant, the donor was asked what merit she thought enabled her to be the match. She replied, "I'm not sure, but I come from a family of rabbis. In fact, my grandfather was the Bobover Rebbe." Everyone present was stunned. Eighty years after a brave woman risked her life to save the Rebbe, Hashem repaid the kindness in kind—his granddaughter was now saving her granddaughter's life. This is just one example of how a single mitzvah can echo across generations. Every mitzvah carries infinite merit, benefiting us both in this world and the next. It is our responsibility and privilege to embrace each opportunity with joy, knowing that every act of goodness creates a ripple of blessing beyond what we can ever imagine.

Eighty years ago, World War II ended in Czechoslovakia with both celebration and uncertainty. In this weekend edition of Czechia in 30 minutes, historian Vít Smetana reflects on how the U.S. Army and Soviet forces divided the country—not just geographically, but politically. What did liberation mean in 1945, and how should we remember it today?
Beloved, Today we chat about ——- OVERWHELM.Do you find yourself on the struggle buss of overwhelm, stress and emotional overload? Eighty percent of our emotional clarity comes from connection. From 22 years of intimate conversations within my professional practice, I know first hand that compassionate reflection can heal trauma and reduce overwhelm in seconds. Standing on the shoulders of wisdom from past mentors, its my responsibility to share the biological and spiritual components to understanding our nervous system. All brought through the science of feeling heard and valued so you can restore the art of relational neuroscience to build resilience and confidence, one empathetic moment at a time.Overwhelm can feel like you are drinking out of a firehose that is immeasurable and difficult to recover from. Let's explore resonance and overwhelm through a relational neuroscience lens with insights into their emotional and neurobiological significance in a accessible way. And before we jump into the art and science, I want you to know that I have a solution that bring you into the depth of your soul, how you tick in this world and how to use it to see clearly through overwhelm and anxiety.
In this episode of Work in Progress, I'm joined by Dane Linn, senior vice president of corporate initiatives for the Business Roundtable, to discuss second chance hiring and how opening the door to people who are justice-impacted is good for the individual, society, and the economy. More inclusive hiring is a powerful way to break the cycle of poverty for many Americans. When people are given a fair opportunity to participate in the workforce, our economy and society are stronger. For the 70 million people in this country who have been touched by the justice system, having a criminal record often makes it harder for them to find employment. For some, a conviction, and even a brush with the law without a conviction, can become the equivalent of a life sentence when it comes to trying to reenter the workforce. "We're talking about more people than those who've been in jail. Some of these individuals have a minor offense and that minor offense has crippled their ability to seek any employment opportunity," says Linn. The Second Chance Business Coalition – an initiative of the Business Roundtable – is committed to second chance hiring, expanding opportunities to jobs, careers, and greater upward mobility for this population. There are more than 2.3 million people currently behind bars in the U.S. Once released, more than two-thirds of these individuals will likely end up as repeat offenders because they can't find jobs once released. Barring individuals who are justice-impacted from the workforce means they have a greater risk of ending up in poverty. It also decreases the amount of federal, state, and local taxes being added to the economy. "The cost to the U.S. economy, between $78 and $87 billion, is not insignificant. But let's make no mistake about it, this Second Chance Business Coalition is not just a charitable endeavor. This is a business imperative, important for companies to meet the [talent] supply problem they have. "It's important to provide individuals with an equal opportunity to work in corporate America and advance in corporate America. And it's important to ensure our ability as a country to maintain our economic competitiveness and in some cases not depend or not have individuals depend on public assistance in some cases for which they don't want to depend on. "They want to be contributing members to society just as much as anyone else and giving them an opportunity to work in corporate America is one way to do that." JPMorgan Chase and Eaton were among the founding members of the Coalition which now totals 52 large companies. "We've all been given second chances. When you talk about it that way with employers – 'You may not have a criminal record, but at some point along the way you've been given a second chance' – there's interest in hiring individuals with records. "We illuminate or illustrate that idea by bringing in individuals to [our] convenings who have actually have a criminal record and hear about the struggles they've had, but also that an employer took a chance on them and gave them an opportunity to have a job and what that meant to them and the contributions they've made." Linn says in addition to making the case for impact of second chance hiring, they provide employers with the tools and resources so they can effectively implement second chance hiring within their own companies. He says this approach is making a difference. "Eighty percent of the companies who participate in the coalition now review individual candidates individually without hard stops on certain conviction types and 60% partner or contract with reentry or other organizations to administer the hiring or the support programs for employees with criminal backgrounds. "I think that's pretty impressive for four years." In our conversation, Linn and I go into details on how companies are implementing second chance hiring and the impact itis having for people who are justice-...

Eighty years ago, on April 29, 1945, the last SS troops fled the German camp of Ravensbrück, the largest Nazi concentration camp for women. Among those held there was Suzanne Bouvard, a young woman from Brittany. During her deportation, she became friends with Simone Séailles, a Parisian resistance member. In life and in death, the two women bound their destinies together. After the war, Suzanne decided to rebuild her life by planting orchards. Rooting herself in the land was her way of healing and forgetting the hell of the camps. FRANCE 24's Claire Paccalin and Stéphanie Trouillard report.
Death might be the end of life, but it's not the end of the bills. In this mini-solo episode, Lawrence dives into the surprisingly high cost of dying.

Eighty years after the end of the Holocaust -- Joanna Sliwa, co-author of the nonfiction book THE COUNTERFEIT COUNTESS, shares examples of resistance of Jewish women during the Holocaust. She is an historian at the Conference of Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference).
Eighty-three (83%) of Economic Freedom Front (EFF) voters feel that the Kill the Boer song “land somewhere between irresponsible and hate speech”. That is according to a recent Social Research Foundation (SRF) survey on public perceptions around hate speech, free speech, - and that controversial song. In this interview with BizNews, the SRF's Research Director Gabriel Makin says of that 83%, 57% of EFF supporters say that the song is clearly hate speech as it calls for direct physical harm specifically against white Afrikaans farmers who are being murdered in disproportionate numbers - and as such believe it should be banned. “So that's a majority of the support base of the political leader who's driving the kind of narrative around Kill the Boer saying that actually the song that he's singing is hate speech and that he the song itself should be banned and he should be barred from singing it.” Similarly to EFF voters, former President Jacob Zuma's MK supporters also express opposition to the song Kill the Boer. “They think it is irresponsible to sing or they think generally it should be banned.” Commenting on these significant findings, Makin says: “…one of the trends…that emerges from our data is that the bulk of South Africa is moderate, it's staid, it's pragmatic. It's not the kind of racially obsessed, radical, radical populist population that some of our political leaders wish it were.”

Eighty years after a Holocaust survivor from Canada saved a wounded, young Jewish orphan by hiding him in his crawl space underneath a washroom in Warsaw, a ceremony in Israel this week will honour the late Peter Jablonski's wartime heroism. But it won't be part of the official annual state Yom HaShoah ceremony run by Yad Vashem, the organization in charge of Holocaust Remembrance for the State of Israel. They confer Righteous Among the Nations medals only to non-Jews, not to ordinary Jews. They do spotlight Jews who saved Jews, especially Jewish partisans and resistance fighters, in their museum and education programs. Instead, Jablonski's courage for rescuing that young boy, Walter Saltzberg of Winnipeg, and a handful of others, will be honoured by B'nai Brith International and the KKL/Jewish National Fund at a gathering Thursday April 24 in the Martyrs' Forest in Jerusalem. The two groups created the event decades ago to honour Jews who rescued Jews, and they have been campaigning ever since for Yad Vashem to change its policy. Jablonski was 23 when he rescued Walter Saltzberg, who was just 13 at the time–and was badly injured by falling German bombs that destroyed the pair's first hiding place. Jablonski treated the boy's injuries, protected him from other hidden Jews who wanted to kill the boy when his moans risked giving their new location away to the Nazis. After five months, they were liberated, in 1945. Jablonski helped arrange surgery for Saltzberg to fix his deformed leg, and eventually Saltzberg was able to leave Poland for his new home in Canada, where as luck would have it, the two survivors reunited decades later. On today's The CJN Daily, we speak to the late Walter Saltzberg's son, George Saltzberg, of Toronto, who is in Israel now where his late father's rescuer will posthumously receive the Jewish Rescuers' Citation. He joins to explain why he's made it his mission to ensure Jablonski's selfless acts aren't forgotten.

In this solo mini-episode, Lawrence discusses the complex relationship between money, people, and power (especially today's political climate). Trump's administration has been anything but subtle. The rise of wealth inequality, tax cuts for the rich, polarizing policies around immigration, and social justice shape how we view our cash and our connections. The reserved nature of money and people became even more pronounced in a time of division, and how it's all connected. In the end, we know the issues. We now need to take action(s) to even attempt to resolve them.

Email has been around since the 1970s. It’s quick, it’s convenient — and it consumes your life. If you’ve got an office job, chances are you spend most of your working life in an inbox. Email may be the engine of modern commerce, but it might also be the slowest way to get things done—especially in industries where precision and timing are everything. That’s the pain point Chuck Perret set out to solve. Chuck is the founder of Centerline.Co, a cloud-based data management platform for the construction industry. Chuck started his tech journey as a teenager working in his family’s blueprint shop, and eventually launched Centerline in 2021 after seeing firsthand how digital communication was breaking down in the construction world. Centerline helps architects and contractors collaborate more effectively by ditching the messy world of long email chains. It offers project-specific communication tools, document sharing, and bid coordination—all in one place. Today, Centerline serves over 75 architecture firms, with 12,000 users and more than 800 projects managed through the platform. If you’re going to hang a shingle in the digital world, you’ll need a different kind of architect: a web designer. Brandy Arnett is the CEO of Vibrandt Websites, a Lafayette-based web development company. Brandy's not competing with Squarespace or Wix on volume—she’s competing with them on care. Vibrandt builds custom websites with an emphasis on both technical precision and creative polish. Since founding the company in 2019, Brandy and her team of four have launched over 125 websites. And they’re not just building—they’re staying with their clients long after launch, offering same-day support and multiple redesigns over time. Eighty percent of their clients are local, ranging from SLEMCO to CASA to the City of Abbeville, but their reach is growing nationwide.

Creativity and invention aren't words often associated with hardship and suffering, but in the Second World War women in America and Britain faced with clothes rationing rose to the challenge in many different ways. Those days are long past, but in an era of textile super-abundance, do clothes coupons have something new to teach us about how we buy and use our clothes? Can clothes rationing help cure us of an addiction to fast fashion? In this month's episode, we hear from a well-known winner of the Great British Sewing Bee who has adopted the wartime system of coupons as a way of limiting her consumption of fabric and clothing. Eighty years ago, Make Do and Mend became the watch-words of the day as people eked out their garments, repairing and re-making them over and over again. But clothes rationing in both countries also changed what people wore and hastened technological revolutions. In Britain many people had access to quality, well-styled clothing for the first time, and in America with luxury fibres scarce, man-made fibres entered the market much more quickly than they might otherwise have done.
