Including her on the global list of "Ten People Who Shaped Science," Nature said of Nelson's OSTP tenure, “this social scientist made strides for equity, integrity and open access.” In 2023, she was named to the inaugural TIME100 list of the most influential people in the field of AI. In 2024, Nelson was appointed by President Biden to the National Science Board, the body that establishes the policies of the National Science Foundation and advises Congress and the President. Alondra was also nominated by the White House, and appointed by United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, to serve on the UN High-Level Advisory Body on Artificial Intelligence.

This is the soundtrack to a film strip from 1965. It is narrated by Bill Richardson. Senator H. L. Richardson was a nationally recognized, twenty-two-year veteran of the California State Senate who focused his extensive political career on the preservation and protection of our Second Amendment rights. An active hunter and outdoorsman, Senator Richardson was vigorously involved on the state and national scene, racking up political victories that spanned more than four decades.In 1966, H. L. “Bill” Richardson, a successful advertising executive, was elected to the State Senate the same year Ronald Reagan was elected California's Governor. Because of his vast hunting and outdoor experience, he was tapped to Chair the Senate Fish and Game Committee, and was elected by his Republican colleagues to a leadership position as Caucus Chairman, a post he held for many years.In the early 1970's, the Senator became very aware of the worldwide inroads the radical left were making in politics, most specifically their consistent attempts to disarm Americans. He became a life member of the NRA and, with their encouragement, authored the state preemption of firearms law which in 2009 resulted in overturning the recently enacted San Francisco handgun ban. He was subsequently elected to the NRA Board of Directors, where he served for over a decade.In 1975, the radical left introduced legislation to ban all handguns in California. The bill generated strong support from elected officials and the main-stream media, which triggered Richardson to mobilize enraged citizens from throughout the state. It was at this point that Gun Owners of California was born, a direct mail attack was unleashed and the bill was defeated. Gun Owners of America soon followed and Richardson's keen skill for mobilizing single individuals toward a common goal launched a very effective political movement that continues to focus on the preservation of the Second Amendment.During his 22 years in the California Senate, Richardson showed that a determined application of confrontational politics could produce big victories. While in office, in addition to GOC and GOA, Richardson organized multiple Political Action Committees [PACs] that raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to fight the political left. One such committee was “Law and Order Campaign Committee” which led the charge to defeat Chief Justice Rose Bird and two other liberal members of the state Supreme Court. The three anti-victim justices were defeated by over a million votes. LOCC then pushed for the return of capital punishment, a move strongly opposed by the liberal leadership of both houses and Governor Jerry Brown (during his first term in office). Using massive direct mail pressure, the bill passed both houses but in spite of heavy support from the public, the bill was vetoed. LOCC refused to give up, and using targeted direct mail and the mobilization of concerned citizens, Governor Jerry Brown's veto was overridden.Richardson took this sharp political insight and wrote a virtual “game plan” for political wins with his controversial book, Confrontational Politics. He clearly explained his core belief that politics should be a struggle of competing ideologies, not a game of compromise and accommodation. A published author, other works include “Slightly to the Right,” an entertaining yet informative book written in the 60's that taught conservatives how to debate their liberal friends. It became an immediate conservative classic which sold over 250,000 copies nationally.“What Makes You Think We Read the Bills?” was written while Richardson was in the Senate and provides rare, yet funny insight into the real-life workings of the Legislature. It has been used as a textbook in political science classes throughout California.Richardson also combined his love of writing and extensive knowledge of the American West to write a series of Western mysteries, beginning with “The Devil's Eye”, and followed by the sequel “The Shadows of Crazy Mountain.” For a change of pace, he authored “Split Ticket,” a political comedy based in Sacramento, California.His unique perspectives and use of humor kept him in demand as a speaker and writer, and he provided colorful media commentary on a host of issues. He was the recipient of numerous awards and accolades from fellow Second Amendment organizations, and received such notable recognition as Outstanding Statesman Award from the Conservative Caucus, Law and Order Award from American Educational League, the Guardian of Freedom Award from (YAF) Young Americans for Freedom and the Ronald Reagan Freedom Fighter Award. He was also recognized for his exceptional work in law enforcement, having earned commendations from California homicide investigators, swat teams, police, parole and correctional organizations.Senator Richardson had three children and seven grandchildren. He was married to his beloved wife Barbara for 57 years. He resided in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, east of Sacramento, California, until his passing on January 13, 2020.Please visit our website www.campconstitution.net

Today's episode is a brief one, and takes us back in time to 2000 and the remarks from Sir John Templeton at the Acton Institute's Annual Dinner. It was at this dinner that Templeton was award the inaugural Acton Institute Faith & Freedom Award for his contributions to civil society as “a pioneering philanthropist with wisdom to understand the tremendous role of faith in the course of human history.”Beginning a Wall Street career in 1937, he created some of the world's largest and most successful international investment funds. Templeton, a member of the Presbyterian Church (USA), was known for starting mutual funds' annual meetings with a prayer. Templeton was knighted Sir John by Queen Elizabeth II in 1987 for his many accomplishments. One of these was creating the world's richest award, the $1 million-plus Templeton Prize for Progress Toward Research or Discoveries about Spiritual Realities presented annually in London since 1972. Because of his vision, the John Templeton Foundation continues to give away about $40 million a year – especially to projects, college courses, books, and essays on the benefits of cooperation between science and religion.In 2003, The Templeton Foundation committed to a generous pledge to launch the Templeton Freedom Awards program with Atlas Network. Since that time, Atlas has presented these awards and grants to outstanding think tanks working to improve the public understanding of freedom. The Acton Institute has won two Templeton Freedom Prizes.Subscribe to our podcastsRegister Now for Business Matters 2023Apply Now for Acton University 2023 (Early Bird Pricing) Hosted on Acast.

(This interview is dedicated to my friend Randy Lee, a dedicated public health nurse, who passed away earlier this week.) Justin Smith in his book published earlier this year, The Internet is Not What You Think It Is, argued the internet is addictive, its use of algorithms leaves our lives warped and impoverished and despite these problems there is little or no federal regulatory oversight. Concerning the internet's effects on children, Dr. Linn argues in her recently published work, Who's Raising the Kids, that our digital landscape essentially invades children's privacy in order to use their personal information to drive endless consumerism. Children's screen use, that amounts to upwards of 7.5 hours on average per day - substantially longer for poor and minority children - is having profound negative effects on children of every age. Generally by threatening childhood development and more specifically Dr. Linn noted by, for example, driving childhood anxiety, conflictual relationships with parents and family stress, depression, diminished language development, eating disorders, erosion of creative play, materialistic values, obesity, precocious sexuality, sleep disturbances, underachievement in school and youth violence.During this 35 minute interview Dr. Linn begins by explaining how Mattel's Aristotle (never commercially launched) and Epic's Fortnite are designed to drive revenue. She discusses how digital games erodes or undermines children's creative play, how the use of various marketing tools or approaches drive every digital experience leading to a purchase, for example, by creating "frictionless" online experiences. She discusses the influence corporations have in formal education programming via Sponsored Education Materials (SEMS), discusses what parents can do to monitor children's screen use, what federal policies have been proposed to protect children's privacy and regulate how digital game design and what action the American Psychological Association has taken. Dr. Susan Linn is currently a Research Associate at Boston Children's Hospital and Lecturer on Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. She has lectured on the importance of creative play, the impact of media and marketing on children and the use of puppetry as a therapeutic tool in venues throughout North and South America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. From 2000 to 2015 Dr. Linn was the Founding Director of Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood. Dr. Linn and her puppets appeared in several episodes of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. She has written and appeared in a number of video programs designed to help children cope with issues ranging from mental illness to death and loss. This Secret Should Be Told, a syndicated TV program for children about sexual abuse won her a coveted Action for Children's Television and earned Dr. Linn a New England Emmy Award. With Fred Rogers' production company, Dr. Linn created the acclaimed educational video series Different and the Same: Helping Children Identify and Prevent Prejudice. Different and the Same has been used in classrooms in all 50 states and won numerous awards including the two top prizes from the International Communication Film and Video Competition and the Media Award from the Association of Multicultural Educators. Her book, Consuming Kids helped launch the movement to reclaim childhood from corporate marketers. Her work has been featured on Good Morning America, Today, Sixty Minutes, Dateline, The Colbert Report, and the acclaimed documentary The Corporation. Among other honors, Dr. Linn received an UNIMA-USA citation for excellence; a special award for puppet therapy from Puppeteers of America; A Champion of Freedom Award from the Electronic Privacy Information Center; The Creative Leadership Award from the Puppet Showplace Theater; and, a Presidential Citation from the American Psychological Association for her work on behalf of children.Information on Who's Raising the Kids is at: https://thenewpress.com/books/whos-raising-kids.

Maggie Maggie Favretti has spent over 35 years happily helping her students to ask, “why not now?” Maggie has won scholarship and teaching awards from three professional historical organizations (WHA, AHA, OAH), a national organization of bankers (Sallie Mae Foundation Teacher of the Year), and a national organization of student leaders (21st-century Teacher of the Year). She has been recognized by President Obama for her work in environmental education, and by the Sousa Mendes Foundation's Freedom Award for her work facilitating the next generation of rescuers, Students for Refugees. By far her greatest joy has been devising opportunities for students (and teacher-facilitators) to tap into their innate creativity, resourcefulness, and collaboration across disciplines, using design thinking to solve complex problems in their own communities and beyond. In this episode we discuss:

The war Russia has waged on Ukraine has seemed largely kinetic, but the most effective weapons weilded thus far have been consumer technologies. Putin has pursued a hybrid warfare strategy, yet the Ukrainians have fought his mendacious claims with the realities of conflict captured by mobile devices and social media. Bogged down by guerilla fighting in Ukrainian cities, Putin will view offensive cyber action and aggressive information warfare as increasingly appealing options. Richard Clarke, former U.S. National Coordinator for Security, Infrastructure Protection and Counterterrorism, and the nation's first "Cyber Czar," will give us an inside look at what the world has learned about the spillover of warfare in an era of advanced cyber threats.In his latest book, The Fifth Domain: Defending Our Country, Our Companies, and Ourselves in the Age of Cyber Threats, Clarke delves deep into the political and economic calculations of cyber conflict. He also provides concrete steps that can be taken to achieve cyber resilience, during peacetime and amidst international conflict, including building more resistant systems and raising the costs for escalations in cyberspace.

This program was held live on Wednesday, November 18 - 12:00pm - 1:00pm About the book: When they meet in the 1930s, Doris and Tup's love is immediate. They marry quickly and Doris commits to the only life Tup ever wanted: working the Senter family farm, where his parents and grandparents and great-grandparents are buried under the old pines. Their lives follow the calming rhythms of the land—chores in the cow barn, haying the fields, tending their gardens—and in this they find immeasurable joy. Soon their first child, Sonny, is born and Doris and Tup understand they are blessed. More children arrive—precocious, large-hearted Dodie and quiet, devoted Beston—but Doris and Tup take nothing for granted. They are grateful every day for the grace of their deep bonds to each other, to their family, and to their bountiful land. As they hold fast to this contentment, Doris is uneasy, and confesses, “We can't ever know what will come.” When an unimaginable tragedy turns the family of five into a family of four, everything the Senters held faith in is shattered. The family is consumed by a dark shadow of grief and guilt. Slowly, the surviving Senters must find their way to forgiveness—of themselves and of each other.

Bill Myers Inspires Imagine discovering that you were a descendant of the largest slave trading family in U.S. history. How would you use that information to discuss slavery and racism?

He travels extensively throughout the United States speaking and leading workshops and trainings at colleges, universities, conferences, and other venues.

Clip 18-1 (Global News) Trump announces the late Elvis Presley at Presidential Medal of Freedom Award presentation...1.05 https://youtu.be/avBl_Pf3k_8 They played a brief part of “How Great Thou Art” by Elvis (The King), and Trump criticized his staff for having no promotional ability. I'm glad he picked Orrin Hatch and Antonin Scalia for the awards, as well as Babe Ruth! Also: Over 1200 missing and 76 dead in the Nor Cal fire. Trump visited the areas along with Gavin Newsom & Jerry Brown. We may play clips from AP. https://youtu.be/cmSP2a29sW8 DETERMINING TRUTH: When I'm looking at someone for truth, I'm not looking for them to cite facts. If they cite too many facts then I don't trust them, in fact. They're trying to prove something, and trying to intimidate and convince. They call them con artists. Convince artists. (Correction: CONFIDENCE Artists!) Example: Qasim Rashid, whose video we put out this week, rattled off facts but isn't close to truth. He's a very emotional person too. Also John Fugelsang. Someone commented about my saying intellectualism is emotionalism. Intellectuals are emotional so they retreat into their intellect. It's a lack of confidence — they're insecure. Just look at them. James got calls from Steven from Delaware, who called this a beta male show because we don't talk about "a certain group," and he speculated about who signs James's checks. Big Cal of TN went more into that topic, but James said it feels so manipulative when callers sneak in all this info about the Israel lobby. Skip of Augusta, GA, is still confused about facts versus truth. He appreciates the people in the live chat supporting him. He walked in the pool doing physical therapy. More intellectuals: Michael Wood, Jr., on "racist outcomes." (Tommy Sotomayor and Jesus can explain this.) Michael Avenatti on women's rights and equality. (Eye roll.) CNN on the stuff they push and the people they put in front of the camera. (un-American.) National Geographic - they're ok with documenting beavers making a dam, but not with human beings' gender and globalist socialism. (Anti-morality propaganda.) Giuseppe went in on Skip for telling a joke that James didn't get. Lucan of Pomona, CA, talks about how people get caught up with talking about powerful people, but ignoring their own issues. James talked about losers and winners. Elliott of Santa Monica, CA, is confused about "love" versus "like," and James can't necessarily answer what love is, but it's not emotions!
