Listen in as we journey through the exciting world of headless commerce with our Commerce Cloud Composable Evangelist, James Semple. In this discussion, we chart the evolution of headless commerce from its first wave of technical teams cobbling together solutions to its current, much deeper fourth wave of companies. We examine how the rise of composable commerce and technologies like GPT has fundamentally changed the landscape and what this could mean for the future of retail. We discuss the potential of headless commerce in creating more personalized retail experiences, the challenges and potential of composable strategies, and how retailers are rethinking their strategies post-COVID. We also look at the role of store associates in this new retail landscape, the implications of Gen Z's engagement with commerce, and the lessons to be learned from the reported 50% failure rate of composable projects.  It's an enlightening conversation packed with ideas, solutions, and visions for the future of e-commerce. Show Highlights: The four waves of headless commerce, from its beginnings with technical teams piecing together solutions to its present state with many companies adopting it.  The transformative impact of technologies like GPT on the commerce sector.  The future of retail and how headless commerce can lead to more personalized retail experiences. The challenges and potential of composable strategies in the retail sector.  The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on retail strategies, the changing role of store associates, and Gen Z's engagement with commerce. The high failure rate of composable projects and the importance of careful and calculated decision-making in such projects. Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

My guest today is the author Maxim Osipov. Following in the great Russian tradition of Chekhov and Bulgakov, he has pursued a career in medicine in parallel with that of a writer. For his works of fiction – for the most part short stories that are sharp and witty commentaries on modern-day life in the Russian provinces – Maxim Osipov has won a number of literary prizes, and his plays have been staged as well as broadcast on the radio in Russia. Osipov's works have been translated into 18 languages. His books published in English include the collections of short stories Rock, Paper, Scissors and Other Stories and Kilometer 101 (see my review in Rights in Russia from earlier this year).Shortly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Maxim Osipov signed several letters condemning Putin's military operation.. He left Russia on 4 March 2023 and now lives in the Netherlands where he has launched a new quarterly literary journal, The Fifth Wave. This recording was made on 11 August 2023.My questions:You left Russia almost immediately after the Russian army invaded Ukraine. How did you come to take such a decision? How difficult was it for you?Before you left Russia you successfully combined the professions of cardiologist in Tarusa with that of a writer of short stories and other works of literature. How did these two roles complement one another?Do the current policies of Putin's Russia allow you to be a writer? What is the duty or role of a Russian writer in today's situation?What's your reaction when accusations of imperialism and ‘colonial thinking' are made against some of the classics of Russian literature? To what extent are they justified? Do you see attempts outside Russia to cancel Russian culture, as is claimed by Russian propaganda?In justifying the invasion of Ukraine, Putin set out his interpretation of history, claiming that Ukraine belongs to the ‘Russian world.' To what extent does such use of history as justification have a place in the contemporary world?You have recently begun publication of a new journal. Tell us about it and your aims and aspirations for it.You have named your magazine The Fifth Wave. You wrote earlier that this wave of emigration is most similar to the first wave after 1917. What did you have in mind?Do you continue to write fiction in emigration? You no longer practice as a doctor, so where do you get your material from?How do you find life in emigration?Are there circumstances under which you would return to Russia?

With the publication of her most recent novel, White Horse, Erika T. Wurth breaks from the realism that characterized her earlier fiction and ventures into horror. White Horse follows Kari, an urban Native living in Denver, as a family heirloom belonging to her long-missing mother launches her into a world of the uncanny: ghosts and monsters lurch into real life and portals transport her into scenes from the past that reveal traumatic family secrets. Wurth speaks with critic Leif Sorensen and host Rebecca Evans about what abides at the intersection of politics and craft, and what's at stake in particular for the Indigenous writers of genre fiction whose work takes shape at that intersection. Their conversation pokes serious fun at everything from the faltering literary truism that being good at plot is somehow less impressive than being good at characterization to debates over authenticity in Native literature. Horror, as Wurth describes it, offers real and meaningful pleasures, solves the craft problems of over exposition, and opens up powerful questions of identity, politics, and history. Tune in for recommendations for genre writers from the emerging Fifth Wave of Indigenous fiction, reflections on orality and linguistics, and Wurth's cure for “writer's depression” instead of writer's block!

The CHIPS and Science Act aims to secure American competitiveness and innovation by investing $280 billion in domestic semiconductor manufacturing, scientific innovation, and regional development. But if past government investments in science and technology are any guide, this will affect American life in unexpected and profound ways—well beyond manufacturing and scientific laboratories. On this episode, Michael Crow, president of Arizona State University, talks to host Lisa Margonelli about the CHIPS and Science Act in the context of previous American security investments. Investments in food security and agriculture in the 1860s and nuclear security in the 1940s and 50s created shared knowledge that benefitted all Americans. Early agricultural programs, for example, turned farmers into innovators, resulting in an agricultural sector that can feed many people with very little labor. In similar ways, today's quest for digital security could make the country more secure, while also changing how individuals live and work with information.   Resources:   Read perspectives on How the CHIPS and Science Act Can Deliver on its Promises   Read A.

Ten years since the discovery of the fabled Higgs boson, can the Large Hadron Collider ever make us that excited again? Physicists are now kind of bored by the Higgs - the hype has well and truly died down. So as the LHC kicks off its third period of operation, the team asks whether there will be anything new to get them fired up again.How do large hawks land without crashing? That's what a team of researchers has been trying to find out. The team explains how their findings could help with future innovations in drone technology.ClientEarth is an environmental legal organisation, or “lawyers for the planet”, with the aim of holding companies and governments to account over net zero plans. The organisation has recently brought cases against the Dutch airline KLM and French oil giant Total Energies for alleged greenwashing. Rowan speaks with Chief Impact Officer and “head of greenwashing” Maria Krystyna Duval.A strange kind of time paradox called causal loops is being researched. As well as explaining what a causal loop is, the team explains how a large set of theoretical universes were studied to see whether this time-travel paradox could actually work. The UK is being hit by a fifth wave of coronavirus cases, with many people becoming reinfected multiple times. The team examines the possible risks of reinfection, and asks if there's an end in sight.On the pod are Rowan Hooper, Penny Sarchet, Jacob Aron, Karmela Padavic-Callaghan and Corryn Wetzel.

Next time you set about making your morning coffee, take a moment to peruse the info on your bag of beans. What do you notice? The variety of beans? Flavor notes? Technical details on where the coffee was grown? They're not so different from the sort of blurb you might find on the back of a wine bottle in many ways. And that's intentional. Specialty coffee has taken a lot from the world of wine. But could the increasing overlaps be a problem for coffee farmers — or even dangerous?In this episode, Scott and Jools join forces with coffee processing specialist and former winemaker Lucia Solis from the Making Coffee podcast to dive deeper into where our coffee comes from and what (if anything) wine's got to do with it.Lucia talks to coffee producer Karla Boza from the Finca San Antonio Amatepec coffee farm in El Salvador and vintner Todd Kohn from the Wayfarer Vineyard in California to shed some light on the techniques behind picking, transporting and processing their precious produce. Take a sip on this (soon-to-be-a-good) vintage episode to pique your curiosity about how coffee and wine are made, and why it matters.—Follow Karla Boza's farm and Todd's winery on Instagram Tag our Instagram handles:James Harper / Filter StoriesJools Walker / Lady VeloScott Bentley / Caffeine MagazineJame's PodcastsHistory of Coffee (do not miss this series!)Adventures in Coffee Filter Stories (producer oriented stories)Fifth Wave (for the economics nerd)Bellwether New Wave Coffee (cafe focused)SCA Competitions

In this episode Dr David Owens and Professor Ben Cowling discuss the evolving fifth wave in Hong Kong. In a change from our previous episodes, we asked our listeners to submit questions, we were overwhelmed with the response and apologise that we were not able to cover all issues. This episode covers amongst other topics, the transmission of Covid, elimination or mitigation as a strategy, vaccinations in children and the potential impact on physical and psychological well-being as a result of the public health measures.

After 6 months without a community case of Covid, we are now seeing sporadic community cases with clusters of both Omicron and Delta infections in Hong Kong. In our latest podcast Doctor David Owens and Professor Ben Cowling discuss the current situation. They discuss the dilemma of a Zero Covid strategy without a plan for exit. They consider what a plan B may look like. They also discuss the costs of the public health policy on physical and mental health and hamsters.

Persons who are partially vaccinated or have not been vaccinated are encouraged to do so. For those who have been vaccinated more than six (6) months – get boosted. The risk of becoming infected or having a re-infection; as well as becoming severely ill is significantly increased if not fully vaccinated.

In 1962, media theorist Marshall McLuhan predicted that new communication technologies would transform the world into a “global village” in which the movement of ideas would no longer be constrained by geography. More pessimistically, McLuhan also said that the global village would “absolutely [ensure] maximal disagreement on all points.” 60 years later, the global village has become a reality- and the public is more divided and distrustful than ever. In this episode, CARP media outreach director Deirdre Jane Prigge speaks with former CIA media analyst Martin Gurri, whose 2014 book The Revolt of the Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium details how a “tsunami of information” has stripped institutions of the authority they once took for granted. He joins us on the podcast to explain who the public and the elite are, why the public is so receptive to character assassination attempts, and how "old-fashioned virtues" like humility and courage can help individuals and organizations protect their reputations in a media environment hungry for scandal. Martin and Deirdre also discuss why prophecy is useless, the greatness of Leonard Bernstein, and how Martin became a hero in France.

While excellent newsletters on specific themes within public policy already exist, this thought letter is about frameworks, mental models, and key ideas that will hopefully help you think about any public policy problem in imaginative ways.Audio narration by Ad-Auris.  India Policy Watch: The Demarcation Between Science And Ramdev  Insights on burning policy issues in India- RSJEvent 1: May 23, 2021. Yoga guru Ramdev:"Everyone should progress through self-evaluation. Some allopathic doctors too consider Indian medical science, Ayurveda, yoga as pseudo-science, (emphasis ours) which hurts crores of people.” Event 2: May 29, 1919. New York Times (reporting on the event on Nov 7, 1919):I will connect the two events (hopefully) in a bit.Take Event 1. This was Ramdev in his response to the letter he received from Dr Harsh Vardhan, the Union Minister for Health. The minister had written to Ramdev about his recent statements about allopathy and doctors. You can read more about it here. Dr. Vardhan was forced to write to Ramdev because of the campaign by the IMA (Indian Medical Association) against the damaging statements made Ramdev about modern medicine. Over the past year, Patanjali Ayurved, a company promoted by Ramdev, has made several claims of curing Covid-19 in seven days through its product, Coronil. He has also, at different times, called Allopathy a ‘stupid science’, falsely claimed over 10,000 allopathic doctors died after taking both doses of vaccines and blamed the global drug ‘mafia’ for conspiring against him, Ayurveda and India in that order. Now you might dismiss the whole thing as a sideshow of which there are plenty at anytime in India. But this isn’t one. Ramdev is a hugely influential figure who has a daily show on the national TV channel watched by millions. He singlehandedly created a packaged goods behemoth in the last five years riding on a deeply held belief among Indians about the ‘purity’ of Ayurveda. There have been many questions on those claims. But that’s another story. Anyway, there are a few real issues to contend with here. First, we are in the middle of a pandemic and our fastest way out of it is to vaccinate people at lightening speed. Any statement or action that stops us from doing this is bad and must be stopped. Second, India has made real progress on key health parameters like infant and maternal mortality rates, malnutrition, life expectancy and disease burden in the past two decades. But the harsh reality is it is still placed in the bottom quartile among nations on these metrics. We have had some hard fought wins in making modern medical treatments acceptable among people. We shouldn’t be frittering away these gains by raising suspicions about it among the masses. Lastly, the frontline workers and doctors have put their lives on line during the pandemic to serve the patients. We were showering flower petals on them a year back. Since everything is political now in India and nationalism can be used to defend the indefensible, the troll armies have turned this episode into a dystopian farce where pharma ‘mafia’ and Christian lobbies are the villains and Ramdev is the one exposing their nefarious plans. Now any doctor speaking against Ramdev risks being labelled a pawn hurting India’s interests and its inevitable rise that these lobbies are hard at work to stop. That we want to alienate doctors, hospitals and pharma companies in middle of a pandemic is beyond my comprehension. This is a self goal like no other. The Demarcation ProblemAnyway, the point about pseudoscience made by Ramdev is of interest to me. Who defines it? If crores of people follow something, does that mean it shouldn’t be called pseudoscience? Palmistry, astrology, homoeopathy, Ayurveda - where do they stand on the spectrum of science and pseudoscience? Since some kind of revivalism is on within the Indian society, it will be useful to explore this further. That brings me to Event 2. Why was the eclipse on May 29, 1919 such an event? Here’s why:A hundred years ago, Albert Einstein wasn’t a household name. He was a professor in Berlin, known to scientists, intellectuals, his divorced wife and the first cousin who would soon become his second wife — but not to the world.His rise to superstardom began on May 29, 1919, when the moon and sun lined up just right for a solar eclipse. Photos of the astronomical event showed something strange: A few of the stars visible during the blackout were in the wrong place.Einstein had foreseen this. Using his theory of general relativity, he made the seemingly crazy bet that the stars’ positions in the sky would shift during an eclipse, and even calculated by how much.As the data came in and the results were confirmed, the general theory of relativity was proven. Newtonian physics was no longer the truth. “Revolution in Science,” the front page of The Times of London proclaimed. “New Theory of the Universe: Newtonian Ideas Overthrown.” The New York Times followed suit with “Men of Science More or Less Agog.” Following this with interest was a precocious 17 year old student in the University of Vienna. His name. Karl Popper. This event would leave a deep impact on him as he thought about the nature of truth and the philosophy of science in his later life. The idea that Einstein could precisely postulate in advance what would happen during a solar eclipse and then have the courage for it to be proven or be ‘falsified’ publicly was in sharp contrast to other ‘sciences’ that were in fashion during those years in Europe, namely, Marxism and Psychoanalysis. For over two centuries, scientists had empirically tested Newtonian laws and it worked in all known cases. New inventions came up based on these laws including the steam engine and the power loom that revolutionised societies. Kepler showed how the laws worked for planets and other celestial objects. Haley predicted a comet would reappear again in 76 years based on it. The scientific method that Bacon had proposed involving observation, hypothesis, test and conclusion was proven over and over again for Newtonian physics. That’s how the universe worked. Yet, when Einstein argued that they didn’t work for the special case of really large objects and it was proven during the eclipse of 1919, the entire community of physicists updated their priors. For Popper this was the ‘demarcation’ between what he called science and non-science (later termed pseudoscience by others ). To him all observation is selective and can be used to prove anything. Psychoanalysis was a prime example. Therefore, he dismissed inductive reasoning as the method of drawing scientific inference. Because every single observation so far has followed Newtonian law, doesn’t mean it is the truth. Because the Sun rises every morning doesn’t necessarily prove it will rise tomorrow. More has to be done.Popper instead offered ‘falsifiability’ as the test to ‘demarcate’ science and non-science. As he put it, you can always cherry-pick evidence to prove any theory. Like psychoanalysts and Marxists of his time were doing or what Ramdev is doing with his claims. That’s not enough. For him what really counted as science was if you could stake your theory on a future prediction that could turn out to be false like Einstein and the physicists did with the solar eclipse. A million instances of something working isn’t enough to prove something is science but a single counter-instance is enough to falsify the claim that it is science. That’s how the claim should be tested. On falsifiability. So, science is always about a provisional truth till someone falsifies it. The moment it is falsified, it is no longer science. Science, to Popper, therefore was a grand pursuit to solve big problems and not about making series of tiny empirical observations and figuring out the cause behind them. The observations were only to be made to serve the grand pursuit of truth.Applying FalsificationNow there were others who debated with Popper on the philosophy of science, most notably, Kuhn who coined the term ‘paradigm shift’ to explain how science evolves and those debates are best left for another day. For now, let’s consider ‘falsifiability’ as explained by Popper and view modern medicine as it is practised today. The entire drug discovery and development process involving identification of likely compounds useful in curing a disease, synthesis, characterisation, validation, optimisation and assays that will make it ready for clinical trials follows the principle of finding a single counter instance that would falsify the results. The clinical trials, multiple reviews by the regulators and then the monitoring of the drug performance after it has been launched in the market are all meant to ensure that any instance of failure is captured and studied to eliminate the root cause. This is a rigorous process to stand the test of ‘falsifiability’ and keep modern medicine as close to true science as possible. I will leave it to you to assess other ‘sciences’ I have mentioned earlier on this scale. For me none pass the muster.To be clear, this isn’t to overstate the primacy of science in our lives. You might find comfort and peace of mind through astrology. Yoga and Ayurveda might help you to stay fit and build your immunity. You might have personal experience of homoeopathy working for you. Some scientist who retired from ISRO (or IISc) or some former Nobel prize winner might believe in past life regression or Vedic chants to cure something. These could all be observable truth for those instances. It won’t make them science. Because they can easily be falsified. And since we are at it, let’s not fall to the usual exaggerated claims that do the rounds on Whatsapp. Yes, China is big on their traditional medicines. But if you dig deeper, most of the traditional medicines sold are for the usual reasons: to make you “strong” (wink), for skin ailments and for common colds and fever. Nobody is claiming it will cure Covid-19. The other argument about modern medicine deriving their compounds from nature like Ayurveda also needs to be understood better. It is true many modern drugs have compounds that are extracted from plants and herbs that we often use in Ayurveda. But the modern medicine process is quite exact about the compound, the amount and how it should be delivered into our system. Eating the same plant or herb as a paste or in food isn’t the same thing though it might occasionally yield the same results. There is a difference. The same as that between Sanjeevani and the Dronagiri mountain. Between specifics and generalisation. And no, searching for Sanjeevani isn’t exactly a scientific pursuit. One of the duties of citizens mentioned as part of the Directive Principles of State Policy in our Constitution is “to develop the scientific temper, humanism and the spirit of inquiry and reform”. This is good goal for every Indian to pursue. You don’t need to jettison any tradition for it. The two can co-exist. Global Policy Watch #1: When Conspiracy Theory Comes True  Bringing an Indian perspective to burning global issues- RSJThere was this amazing piece in the Newsweek about how a global ragtag band of gumshoes, data scientists, molecular biologists and conspiracy enthusiasts exposed the many false claims of the Wuhan Institute of Virology about the origins of Covid-19. The mountain of evidence collected and meticulously analysed by the group, who now go by the appropriate sounding name DRASTIC (Decentralized Radical Autonomous Search Team Investigating COVID-19), has been enough for the Biden administration to launch an investigation into the source of the virus. The lab origin of the virus was a theory that few believed in even a month ago. But now it is almost mainstream. Conspiracy theories are often used as a label to delegitimise notions and those believing in it are seen as misfits. Calling something a conspiracy theory is to lower its credibility. They have been the bane of many elections, triggered unrest and have kept social media platforms on their toes. But the very public victory of DRASTIC will have an impact on this discourse. It won’t be easy to wave something off as a conspiracy theory. Pranay writes more about this in the next section below. Interestingly (and fittingly, perhaps for this edition), the first philosopher to write about conspiracy theory was Karl Popper. In his book The Open Society and Its Enemies, Popper moves away from science in the realm of nature to the state and the society. He describes ‘conspiracy theory of society’ as an approach to explain a social phenomenon by finding out those who have planned or conspired for it. But Popper argues most conspiracies that are hatched don’t go as per plan and end up with unintended consequences. The role of social sciences, therefore, is to explain these unintended consequences arising out intentional human actions. That sounds like what we strive to do in this newsletter. There will be lot more written as the origin of the virus story progresses. This might be the most consequential conspiracy theory of all time. Global Policy Watch #2: Networks vs Hierarchies  Bringing an Indian perspective to burning global issues— Pranay KotasthaneThis week had its fair share of mind-boggling stuff. To name a few: a court case by a Bollywood celebrity against 5G deployment, a well-known lawyer promoting vaccine hesitancy, and reports documenting how a group of passionate folk forced renowned scientists to eat their words on the virus lab-leak theory.There’s something common to all these events. To borrow a phrase from media analyst Martin Gurri, such instances illustrate ‘the crisis of authority’ in the Information Age. There’s no theory that won’t be questioned by radically connected individuals, irrespective of the evidence backing it. This newsletter has discussed Radically Networked Societies (RNS) many times over in disparate contexts. We have discussed how no issue is local anymore. Even highly-specialised issues are vigorously contested by laymen. Even decisions by authoritative organisations are questioned, debated, and sometimes overturned, in a vastly expanded information sphere. The thesis of Martin Gurri’s 2014 book The Revolt of the Public is along similar lines. He frames the current upheaval as an asymmetrical warfare between hierarchical institutions of the Industrial Age and hyper-networked individuals of the Information Age. In his words:“When judging his government, Homo informaticus can then do so in light of alternative possibilities—different views of the same policy or event, different values invoked for an action or inaction, different performance by other governments, real or imagined. The first step toward skepticism is doubt, and Homo informaticus, exposed to an independent channel, must confront choices and doubts when constructing his story of the world.…Governments of every stripe have had trouble grasping the sudden reversal in the information balance of power. Proud in hierarchy and accreditation, but deprived of feedback channels, the regime is literally blind to much global content. It behaves as if nothing has changed except for attempts by alien ideals—pornography, irreligion, Americanization—to seduce the public. Most significantly, the regime in its blindness fails to adjust its story of legitimacy to make it plausible in a crowded, fiercely competitive environment.…The consequences are predictable and irreversible. The regime accumulates pain points: police brutality, economic mismanagement, foreign policy failures, botched responses to disasters. These problems can no longer be concealed or explained away. Instead, they are seized on by the newly-empowered public, and placed front-and-center in open discussions. In essence, government failure now sets the agenda. As the regime’s story of legitimacy becomes less and less persuasive, Homo informaticus adjusts his story of the world in opposition to that of the regime. He joins the ranks of similarly disaffected members of the public, who are hostile to the status quo, eager to pick fights with authority, and seek the means to broadcast their opinions and turn the tables on their rulers. The means of communication are of course provided by the information sphere.”Gurri, Martin. The Revolt of The Public and the Crisis of Authority in the New Millennium (pp. 89-90). Stripe Press. Kindle Edition.There’s another way to model this crisis of authority. In edition #11, I had discussed the Overton Window. This framework suggests that for any political issue, there's a range of socially acceptable positions that's narrower than the range of all possible positions. These socially acceptable ideas are seen as being inside the Overton Window — they are mainstream and uncontroversial. On the other hand, policy positions outside it are viewed as shocking, upsetting, and electorally harmful. The key insight of this framework is that, with social pressure, the Overton Window can shift over time; today's radicals may become tomorrow's moderates. In the Information Age, something even more striking has happened. The Overton Window on practically every issue has been stretched such that nearly all possible positions on an issue have become socially acceptable. With that happening, the older institutions, which earlier exuded authority, are shredding legitimacy with every decision they make.This is a value-agnostic assessment of the networked public. In the case of Wuhan lab-leak theory, the effect is a positive one as it has at least thrown light on the geopolitical power play that has suppressed this line of inquiry. The curious case of growing QAnon popularity in the US is the other side of the same coin. But if I were forced to make a ‘bane or boon’ type call on our networked existence in the political sphere, it would be as follows. The backlash of the public is a boon in that it pushes governments towards more accountability. It puts the fear in a government that any wrongdoing will be found out, exposed, and mocked. The bane is that with the multiplication of identity-inspired comradeships across the spectrum, forming coalitions of any kind has become difficult. Every sect is splintering and trust between the splinters is a casualty. The cacophony of conflict spreads to every issue, regardless of how important and urgent it is. Governments become more opaque, more indecisive, and less persuasive in turn. One thing is for sure: our industrial-era political setup is undergoing a fundamental transformation in the Information Age.

Long before Cortés and his men invaded the Aztec empire, they studied their enemy's religious beliefs and myths to take on the vestiges of the white god, or feathered serpent, Quetzalcoatl. The Aztecs saw this god as the vanquisher of Tezcatlipoca, god of human sacrifice, darkness and chaos. However, Cortés essentially came in the name of the latter and the Aztecs were decimated instead of saved. Eugenicists effectively operate in the same manner, being careful to conceal their desire to kill the elderly as useless, to brainwash and brain damage the children for future control, and to slowly kill the middle-population. Instead of open declaration, they kill the old, brain damage the children and control the rest of the population by convincing them that it was their decision to participate in widespread, otherwise illegal, medical experimentation known as mandated vaccine/gene therapy shots that are documented to cause prions disease. Otherwise, without consent, this experimentation is a violation of the Nuremberg Code which says “the voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.” Eugenicists would also want to prevent future births by sterilizing and making infertile young men and women, the original aim of the Birth Control Society or Planned Parenthood, officially. It is now estimated that by 2045 ‘most men may no longer be able to reproduce', according to Politico, and Shanna Swan, leading expert on reproductive health, estimated that sperm counts in the West have fallen 59% from 1973 to 2011. Interestingly, this is the start date of a WHO, World Bank, Women's Health initiative to create antifertility vaccines, according to a report called ‘Fertility Regulating Vaccines' published in 1993. The report says the research began “two decades ago”, or roughly 1973! Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg from the EU also documented that these vaccines would “prevent the formation of a placenta which would result in vaccinated women essentially becoming infertile.” None of this is a coincidence, but instead the successive waves of what amounts to an alien invasion.  Support this podcast

American sociologist and civil rights activist Dr Harry Edwards joins us on the line as we look at the NBA boycott, its overall impact, and why this generation of sports stars could have a big impact on civil rights movement in America.

The future of higher education is at stake. American colleges and universities need to be comprehensively redesigned in order to educate millions more qualified students while leveraging technology and accessibility. Newt’s guest is Dr. Michael M. Crow, President of Arizona State University.

Juice Wrld was on his way to being a superstar, and he was taking our world with him.

Author and former CIA analyst, Martin Gurri, shares his insights into our global state of unrest. Gurri explains that modern institutions, ranging from government and media to academia, are being undermined by digitally networked individuals surfing the Fifth Wave information tsunami of the digital age. Effervescent sectarian groups that he refers to as “the public” tirelessly chip away at the authority of elite gatekeepers of global institutions. The result, Gurri argues, is a stalemate between elite leaders of decaying institutions, who lack the courage and vision to carry “the people” into the future and nihilistic, borderless, sectarian groups that negate authority yet lack cogent alternatives to the status quo.

The perfect book while you wait for the next Hunger Games Scottish writer Benjamin Oliver has been writing long before he could spell. His hard work has paid off with the publication of his first Y/A novel, THE LOOP (published by Chicken House/Scholastic on April 7th). A chilling tale set in a futuristic death row for teens wherein every inmate has the option to push back their execution date if they opt into scientific and medical experiments. But when, artificial intellegence takes over the outside world Luka Kane realizes that breaking out of the Loop might be his only chance to save himself and everyone he loves. It's Luka's sixteenth birthday and he's been inside The Loop for over two years. Rumors of a war on the outside are spreading amongst the inmates, and before they know it, their tortuous routine becomes disrupted. The government issued rain stops falling. Strange things are happening to the guards. And it's not long until the inmates are left alone inside the prison. In a thrilling shift, he must overcome fellow prisoners hell-bent on killing him, the warden losing her mind, the rabid rats in the train tunnels, and a population turned into murderous monsters to try and break out of The Loop, save his family, and discover who is responsible for the chaos that has been inflicted upon the world. Perfect for fans of The Fifth Wave and The Darkest Minds, THE LOOP will keep readers on the edge of their seats from start to finish.

Paul Bratby Show Notes Paul Bratby is the founder of Trade The Fifth, an Elliott Wave program designed to educate traders and investors on the financial markets so they can take responsibility for their own portfolios and trading accounts by learning how to ride the profitable Fifth Wave setup. Paul started in the business over 14 years ago, and combined his career as an Engineer along with his Military Mindset to develop a repeatable trading and investing strategy that he has used to manage 8-figure accounts.   Most passionate about I retired as a money manager five years ago. But I got bored, so I started a hobby. This hobby was revolving what I was most successful at, which was trading, investing in stocks and shares, and future contracts, these sorts of things. It started to keep me occupied to help people realize their dream. I had a dream to move to Spain, live in a villa by the sea with a beautiful sea view, have a pool, and live a nice and comfortable life. I’ve got all of that. Everybody has their different dreams. What I wanted to do was to share my story and help people in this industry. A lot of people want to take control of their own future, their pensions, their savings, or even by creating more income by trading and investing in stocks and shares and future contracts, so I just wanted to help. It was doing great as a hobby project, helping traders become more successful. I built a great strategy; I’ve never had a losing quote for 15 years by now. So what I did was getting some geeks that turned this strategy into a software. And it was doing great. Paul’s entrepreneurship development In May last year (2018), I was in Chicago doing a small training event as part of this hobby project, and an entrepreneur from Silicon Valley came to me and said: “Paul. I just got on a flight because I needed to see you; I think you’ve got a great product. I’ve got a great experience with digital growth, and with startups. I’d like to go into business with you.” So, it was a bit of a shock, but we did it! We started the company in July 2008. We launched the website on November 2018, so we’re coming up to one year. And in that first year, we are one of those strange statistics that one in 10000 tech startups are in profit in the first year. And we are profitable in our first year. We’ve got a cloud-based system, and we’ve gone through hyper-growth because of me having that foundation, that hobby and that experience, coupled together with my partner that got an eye for growth, hacking, and tech and we had a great first year. I fly to the US four or five times a year, hold live training events that are sold out. Paul’s best advice about approaching customers and his biggest success due to the right customer approach So the short answer is, listen to your customer. One of my biggest success stories recently in this last year is that during our growth, we found that we had more customers with small account balances, you know, just starting out. And in the strategy within our software, we’re not clear enough for smaller traders. So this became quickly apparent by the massive amount of e-mails we were getting, and questions on the Facebook group. So I took action. I was in New York in June of this year. And I sent out a tweet on Thursday to say, you know, I’m in New York. Any customers out there who can join me for a drink on Friday evening? 10 users turned up! From that, we started a WhatsApp group for New York. I listened. But not only did I listen, within 24 hours, but I also came up with an idea and shared it with all of that ‘focus group’. OK. They loved it. On the 1st of August, we launched our five K clock, which is designed to help traders with small account sizes use our indicators with strategies designed by me to help become more consistently profitable. And it’s low cost because these traders don’t have...

Welcome to Episode 11 of The Book Love Foundation Podcast! And thank you for joining us in this celebration of teaching and the joy of learning. Subscribe in iTunes Donate to the Book Love Foundation Episode 11 Show notes In this episode you will get an inside view of some of my work this year.  Kevin Carlson, who produces this podcast for the Teacher Learning Sessions, came to A158 at Kennett High School a week ago and invited my ninth graders to talk about their reading lives during this school year. The three students who volunteered to talk have similar histories from middle school .unfortunately. They came to me from two different middle schools: one public, one private. Their teachers had good intentions and they worked hard to make a few books interesting. But with little balance between teacher-selected books and student-selected titles these kids read little and became dormant readers. Now, after a year of hard work, they are in very different places in their reading lives. My belief is that if kids become uninterested in reading, it is up to us–it is on us– to change that. Books, in the words of Stephen King, are portable magic. We can make that true for every student. Every year. Three from my classroom will tell you how. Thanks so much for joining us today.  The board members of the Book Love Foundation are choosing finalists this week. We meet on Thursday. It will be a long night. We want you all to win.

Our guest Paul Wright, all the way from Liverpool, England is an expert fan of all things related to Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He helps us discuss the whole franchise in the feature segment; from the awesome radio series it started off as, to the books, television shows and finally the feature film. Before we jump in the odd end of the galaxy, we have some Nerdy News, where we discuss the recent revelation of flowing water on Mars, and the recent scientific testing that (once again) shows that autism is not caused by vaccinations. Sorry Donald Trump... Steve also returns with the fan favorite, 5-Minute Aficionado! Before he taught you how to be an expert with wine and cigars, now he teaches you the ins and outs of getting a professional massage :) In Trailer Reviews we discuss the return of Goosebumps with Jack Black and the YA novel film adaptation of The Fifth Wave.
