Podcast Description: In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Drs. Christhardt Köhler and Achim Schneider to discuss radical vaginal trachelectomy. Prof. Christhardt Köhler is a highly accomplished gynecologist and obstetrician specializing in oncological gynecology. He is the Chief Physician of the Department of Gynecology at Asklepios Hospital Altona Hamburg and has won the Briker Award and the Robert B. Hunt Endowed Award. Dr. Kohler is a member of several professional associations, including the German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics. His expertise is recognized worldwide, and he is listed in the FOCUS top list of physicians for gynecological operations and tumors. He has 1381 scientific publications focusing on spinal muscular atrophy, cervical cancer, and innovative gynecological surgery approaches. Achim Schneider, born on September 17, 1950, in Augsburg, is a distinguished German gynecologist and obstetrician. He earned his doctorate in 1975 and has since made significant contributions to the field, including pioneering new laparoscopic surgical techniques in gynecological oncology in Germany. Schneider held prestigious professorships at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena and the Charité in Berlin. He has focused on the diagnosis and treatment of genital neoplasms, HPV-associated ano-genital neoplasms, and fertility-preserving surgery for cervical cancer patients. Currently, he heads the dysplasia consultation at the Medical Care Center in Berlin, continuing his impactful work in minimally invasive procedures and cancer prevention. Highlights: Radical vaginal trachelectomy is a fertility-preserving treatment for early cervical cancer, but large studies on its outcomes are lacking. In a study of 471 patients (median age 33), 62% sought pregnancy with a 73% success rate, and 46% experienced pre-term delivery; recurrences occurred in 3.4% of cases, with a 2.1% mortality rate. The study confirms the oncologic safety of the procedure and suggests that high pre-term delivery rates may be due to cervical volume loss, providing a benchmark for future surgical modifications

It's Tuesday, April 2nd, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson South African bus crashes, killing 45 A bus carrying 46 persons from Botswana to an Easter service in Moria, South Africa drove off a bridge and burst into flames over the weekend, resulting in 45 deaths, reports a South African news site. Only one person, an 8-year-old girl, miraculously survived the crash. One relative told the New York Times, “No one can explain this miracle.” Arsonist torches Bibles Somebody set a trailer full of Bibles on fire in the parking lot of Global Vision Bible Church in Juliet, Tennessee on Sunday. Pastor Greg Locke made a statement on Facebook. He wrote, “Our security cameras caught a man dropping off a trailer in the middle of the intersection and blocking the road into our church. He then got out and set fire to an entire trailer full of Bibles right in front of our church.”   The police are investigating. Will Scottish be imprisoned for “misgendering”? News pundit Paul Joseph Watson of Modernity News is suggesting that thousands will be investigated and some imprisoned in Scotland for misgendering. That would include the likes of famous author J.K. Rowling. This week, Scotland's Hate Crime and Public Order Act of 2021 goes into effect. Anyone who is “stirring up hatred” on the basis of sexual orientation or transgender identity will be prosecuted. Sanctions could extend to seven years in prison for any “insulting” behavior towards the protected groups. Israel killed top Iranian commander in Syria An Israeli air attack leveled a building on or near the property of the Iranian consulate in Syria, resulting in multiple casualties, reports the BBC. The Iranian state-affiliated media has confirmed that a top commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, Mohammad Reza Zahedi, was killed in the attack. Germany legalized marijuana Germany has just legalized private possession and the recreational use of marijuana. The Deutsch Welle news site quoted the president of the German Society of Psychiatry. He said, “I fear that with this law we are casting out the devil and replacing him with Beelzebub.” Germany joins the European Union countries of Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Belgium, and the Netherlands with this move. Drug-related executions up But now, worldwide drug-related executions are on the rise.   Records available for 2023 reveal that 467 people were executed for drug-related offenses. And that doesn't include China, North Korea, and Vietnam. Most of the data comes from Iran, Kuwait, and Singapore.   These numbers are up 44% from the previous year. Americans are crippling themselves with illicit drugs People in the United States consume more illicit drugs than any other nation, according to data from World Population Review. America rates 6.7 on Disability-Adjusted Life Years.  Estonia, Mongolia, Canada, Greenland, and Russia also rate between 3.8 and 5.0 on Disability-Adjusted Life Years, due to illicit drug use. For drug deaths per 100,000, the U.S. rates twice as many than the second highest in the world — Estonia, and three times as many deaths as Canada, which stands at third place in the world for drug deaths.   Drug-related U.S. deaths have exceeded 110,000 per year.  95% of the world's opium comes from a mere three nations: Afghanistan (the world leader), Mexico, and Myanmar. The nations with the lowest drug-related deaths in the world are found in Africa and Southeast Asia. Proverbs 11:19 reminds us that, “As righteousness leads to life, so he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death.” Interest payments on U.S. debt have exploded U.S. government interest payments, as a percentage of total tax receipts, have exploded to 35%.   That's the highest level since big inflation rates of the 1980s and early 1990s. Cost of housing skyrocketing To afford a median-priced house in the U.S. today, an American family would have to earn $111,000.   By contrast, in January 2020, just before COVID, the American family would have to earn $76,000 to afford a median-priced house.  That's a whopping 46% increase. The Consumer Price Index has run 20% over these four years. Most Americans believe Jesus rose from the dead In 2022, Lifeway Research reported that 66% of Americans agreed that the Biblical account of Jesus Christ's physical resurrection was completely accurate. Only 23% disagreed. Trust in U.S. pastors hitting rock bottom In other religious surveys, trust in pastors has reached an historic low in America — dropping from 64% to 32% since 2001.  Pastors are less trusted than nurses, veterinarians, engineers, dentists, medical doctors, pharmacists, police officers, college teachers and psychiatrists. Pastors are called to a high standard. Here's 1 Timothy 2:1-4.  “An overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.  He must manage his own household well.” Woman drags three drowning men out of water And finally, an Australian woman is being hailed a hero for hauling not one, not two, but three drowning men to shore in Apollo Bay, Victoria, reports Channel 7 News.  Thirty-three-year-old Brianna Hurst risked her own life to drag the three men, all unconscious, one at a time to shore.    HURST: “It's pretty hard like I had to swim out to get him about like 20 meters and then pulled him in. He was pretty heavy. He was much bigger than me.” She began CPR until first responders arrived on the scene.  Two of the three men survived. And Channel 7 News quotes one of the survivors  “thanking God” for his rescuer. HURST: “It just feels like I did what anyone else would do.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Tuesday, April 2nd in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

The population of the world has been rising for over 200 years but some time later this century it's predicted to peak. Demographers don't know exactly when that will happen but they do know that we are already experiencing a demographic transition. Fertility rates are falling world wide. Fertility in China and India is below replacement rate. In developed countries populations are ageing; since 2013, a quarter of Japan's population has been over 65, and within the next five years Japan will be joined by Finland, Germany, Italy, and Portugal. It's easy to see ageing as a problem. After all, how will working age people fund the pensions of so many old people? But could technology massively raise productivity? Could falling populations put less stress on the planet, and offer us a world with less competition and more leisure and space? And if an older population is a problem, how to solve it? Can we encourage people to have more children? Or should rich countries let in more people?

The Server: A Media History from the Present to the Baroque (Yale UP, 2018) is a cutting–edge media history on a perennially fascinating topic that attempts to answer the crucial question: Who is in charge, the servant or the master? Though classic servants like the butler or the governess have largely vanished, the Internet is filled with servers: web, ftp, mail, and others perform their daily drudgery, going about their business noiselessly and unnoticed. Why then are current–day digital drudges called servers? Markus Krajewski explores this question by going from the present back to the Baroque to study historical aspects of service through various perspectives, be it the servants' relationship to architecture or their function in literary or scientific contexts. At the intersection of media studies, cultural history, and literature, this work recounts the gradual transition of agency from human to nonhuman actors to show how the concept of the digital server stems from the classic role of the servant. Markus Krajewski is professor of media history at the University of Basel, Switzerland. He is the author of numerous articles and several books, including Paper Machines: About Cards and Catalogs, 1548–1929 and World Projects: Global Information Before World War I, which was awarded the 2007 Prize of the German Society for the History of Medicine, Science and Technology. He also works as a software developer and maintainer of his bibliography software Synapsen: A Hypertextual Card Index (www.synapsen.ch).

In zahlreichen Fachpublikationen und Büchern teilt Dr. Kleine-Gunk sein umfassendes Wissen über hormonelle Einflüsse auf Gesundheit und Altern. Besonders bekannt ist er für seine Forschung zur ästhetischen Endokrinologie, bei der Hormone gezielt zur Faltenbehandlung eingesetzt werden.  In diesem Interview gibt er spannende Einblicke in neue Ansätze der Langlebigkeitsmedizin. Er erläutert, wie sich das biologische Alter über epigenetische Uhren bestimmen lässt und mit Lebensstilmaßnahmen positiv beeinflussen lässt. Anhand aktueller Studien erklärt Dr. Kleine-Gunk die molekularen Wirkmechanismen von Nährstoffen und deren Einfluss auf die Histon-Modifikation und Sirtuine. Detailliert schildert er seine klinische Erfahrung mit Hormonersatztherapien und deren anti-aging Effekte. Abschließend betont er, dass neben kosmetischen Maßnahmen die innerliche Regeneration durch Fasten, Sport und Stressreduktion entscheidend ist. Nur durch einen ganzheitlichen Ansatz kann das Äußere und die inneren Organe gleichermaßen verjüngt werden.

In Frames and Framing in Documentary Comics (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021), Johannes Schmid's new book considers documentary comics in relationship to framing, that is both the strategic use of communication to encourage a particular interpretation of a scenario; secondly, the process of structuring a representation (or portions thereof) by situating it within certain boundaries, in the case of comics, a panel or a page, for example. Dr. Schmid combines theories of framing analysis and cognitive narratology with comics studies, focusing on the medium's visual frames and engaging in a broader discussion about facts and journalism in the current age of fake news and post-truth politics. After laying out its theoretical foundation, the book tackles this subject by dividing it up into Material Framing, Visual Framing, and Narrative framing.   Dr. Johannes Schmid is a postdoctoral researcher at Europa-Universität Flensburg, Germany, and associate editor at American Studies: A Quarterly, the official journal of the German Society for American Studies (GAAS).

There are definite connections between emotional well-being and physical health [06:00] Dr. Mayer explains the bidirectional connections between the brain and the gut [08:20] Western medicine has taken one view, but ancient healing systems have always viewed the gut as the place diseases start [13:24] When the environment in our gut changes, chemicals provide feedback to the brain.  [17:52] Several different therapies are being developed. An example is nutritional psychiatry [21:41] Dr. Mayer leaves us with his prescription for a healthier gut through diet and exercise   KEY TAKEAWAYS:   The gut has a substantial role in our overall health.

Easter isn't just a time for looking back at what Jesus did, but forward at what He purchased for those who believe in Him. The amazing eternity that we have to look forward to and three new things, that will be ours. A new body, a new heaven and a new earth. Now that deserves a Hallelujah! No More Tears Over the past little while on the program we've been talking about the importance of having hope in our lives. Hope is like a photo album in our hearts and in our minds … images of the good things that we hope are going to happen to us and for us in the future. And when we run out of positive images, that's called … hopelessness. But the important thing that I've learned over the course of this series is this: that the sort of hope that the Bible talks about is entirely different to the sort of hope that we talk about. For us, hope has a dimension of uncertainty to it. You're sitting in the doctor's surgery, you're waiting to go in to be told whether the x–rays reveal cancer or not. You hope that it's going to be okay, but … well, you just don't know. Or you hope that next week, you'll receive that promotion at work. The bosses are getting together over the next couple of days, to evaluate the candidates. You're hoping that your name will be at the top of the pile, but … you just don't know. There's a kind of a tension involved in the way that we think about hope. I hope it's going to be okay. I hope it's going to be great. I hope my marriage doesn't fall apart. I hope my teenage kids are going to be okay at the party tonight. And when things don't turn out the way we want, often there are tears. The disappointment that ensues when the hope that we had proves to be misplaced, is really, really tough. It often leads to tears. Think about the last time that you shed tears. What was it about? A betrayal? A relationship breakdown? Missing out on that promotion? A scary prognosis from the doctor? I read on Wikipedia that according to the German Society of Ophthalmology, which has collated different scientific studies on crying, women cry on average between 30 and 64 times a year. Men cry on average between 6 and 17 times a year. Men tend to cry for about two to four minutes and women cry for about six minutes. Crying turns to sobbing for women in 65% of cases, compared to just 6% for men. But these differences don't start to occur until adolescence. Inevitably, these tears are related to the disappointment that comes when hope has failed us. Think back to the last time that you cried. What was it about? Why did you cry? What was the trigger? Sometimes it's physical pain, but mostly, it's when there's some trigger or breaking point that brings lost hope to a head; that thing we'd hoped for: a good marriage, an obedient child, trustworthiness in a work colleague, good health. Whatever it is… that thing that we hoped for… has failed us. Do you enjoy crying? No. I don't think there's a single person on the planet who enjoys crying. And if you or I had our way, we would never, ever, ever encounter another situation that causes us to cry anything but tears of joy, for the rest of our days on this earth. Right? The things we hope for on this earth don't always happen. But the sort of hope that the Bible talks about is completely different, and there's no better passage to tell that story than in Romans chapter 5 verses 3 to 5: And not only that, (writes Paul) but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope doesn't disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us. Did you pick it? The sort of hope that the Bible talks about is the sort of hope that doesn't disappoint us. It never disappoints us, because God is faithful; God's Word is true; God's promises never fail and so we can hope in Him with absolute, rock solid, certain hope. No ifs. No buts. No maybes. Even, as is the case here, during times of suffering. Because during that suffering, God is building our character and our endurance and through that, He grows a godly hope in our hearts, by pouring the Holy Spirit into us. So, when it comes to the tears that you and I shed from time to time there is a promise that I want to share with you today that you can have a rock solid, unfailing hope in. Revelation chapter 21, verses 3 to 5. This passage tells us what our eternity with Jesus is going to be like. Have a listen: And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, ‘See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.' Just think about that. Whatever sadness and tragedies that you've had to travel through, whatever disappointments and losses that you've experienced in your life, God Himself will wipe away every tear from your eyes. Death, suffering, sickness, pain, mourning, loss, tragedy, disappointment … none of those things will ever be again, because those things will have passed away. All the things that matter today, all the things that cause you hurt today, every single thing that brings a tear to your eyes today, will be gone because those things … the first things … will have passed away. It's hard to imagine isn't it? I know there's someone listening today who has lost a child. Another whose life's work was taken away from them. Another whose wife or husband has just died and was suddenly taken away from them. And there's no doubt someone listening whose marriage is a complete mess, not at all what you'd planned when you walked down the aisle together all those years ago. One day, all those things will be gone. And if you believe in Jesus, all that will be left, will be you, with countless others, in glory with the Lord your God for all eternity. Billy Graham once said this: ‘I've read the last page of my Bible. It's all going to turn out all right.' That's the rock solid truth in which you and I can place our hope … and never, ever, ever be disappointed. So let's bring that hope now, into the middle of the situations and circumstances that you're travelling through at the moment. The things that you have uncertain hope about. The thing that last moved you to tears and to sobbing, the pain so deep, that you don't have words to express it. What difference does God's hope, this certain hope make? What difference can it make? Does it completely take away the pain and the tears now? No, I don't think so. Probably not. Some hurts are incredibly deep. But what it does do, is it puts them into a whole new eternal perspective. Just stand back and look at the whole picture. What you're going through now in the context of the hope that you can have for where you're going to be and what you're going to be doing and what God will have done on that day that you go to be with Him. And listen to His Words again, as He speaks them personally to you: ‘I will dwell with you; and you will be mine, I myself will be with you; I will wipe every tear from your eyes. Death will be no more; your mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for those things will have passed away.' And my friend that very same God, the God that speaks those words of love and hope to you now, is with you, now. Through your faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit … the very Presence of God … dwells in you. He feels your pain. He knows your tears. He is there to comfort you. And He is there to pour his rock solid certain hope into your heart, so that you will know beyond any shadow of a doubt, that one day, these things will come to pass. The Word of God is able to do things that no man can do. May His Word and His Spirit bring deep comfort and great hope to you today. What Will We Do for the Rest of Eternity? Have you ever tried to imagine eternity? It's a bit like infinity. You and I are these tiny specs in the cosmos. In fact, we live on a tiny speck hurtling around the sun at 30 kilometres a second. So we're tiny, tiny, tiny in the overall scheme of things. At least a hundred trillion stars out there, and those are just the ones we know about. Of course day to day, we don't think too much about that at all. As I sat at my desk this morning pecking away at the keyboard it seemed totally incongruous to me that I was hurtling through space at 30 kilometres per second. (Actually it's a whole bunch faster than that, because as well as flying around the sun at breakneck speed, our solar system is whirling around the centre of our galaxy at the rate of 220 kilometres per second. That's 792,000 kilometres or 490,000 miles per hour … but I try not to think about that). So when it comes to our sense of space, we cope with these ridiculously, unimaginably large numbers, by retreating into our few square miles in which we live, and somehow fencing our mind and our imagination to live in that space, because it's much more comfortable that way, right? And the same is true with our sense of time. I'm now 54 years old and every now and then I think to myself if I live to what is an average life expectancy for a male in Australia … say to my mid-eighties, that's what, another thirty years. Could be more, could be less … only God knows. I'm pretty fit, I'm pretty healthy, I'm hoping it'll be more, but who knows? Thirty years left. Thirty birthdays. Thirty Christmas'. Thirty Easters. Thirty summers. That's not that many is it when you think about it. Basically I'm almost two-thirds the way through an average lifetime. And yet, every day, it can be a long time. I look back on yesterday. Hey, I got a lot done yesterday. I tend to pack a lot into my days, because I love living life to the full. It's just me. So, thirty years, is another 10,950 days. Well, I tell you something if I get as much done on each of those as I did yesterday, then that's an awful lot. So now, I turn my mind to the lyrics of that wonderful old hymn – Amazing Grace: When we've been here ten thousand years. Bright shining as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise. Than when we've first begun. Hang on ten thousand years! That's three million, six hundred and fifty thousand days! (I'm assuming we'll have given leap years the ditch by then). What do you do for that many days?! I mean after a three week holiday, I'm raring to go to get back to work, back into harness, back to do stuff. And yet 10,000 years is a still just an infinitely small drop in the ocean, when it comes to eternity, which by definition, is infinity years. Have you ever wondered what we're going to do for all that time in heaven? Well, when we talk about heaven, we're really talking about the new earth that God is going to create. When God creates that new earth, heaven will literally be on earth as God makes His home with us. Okay, so if you believe in Jesus today. If you put your trust completely in what He did for you on that cross. If you're living out your life for him … then you're going to be spending eternity in the new heaven on the new earth, with Him. As we've seen in this series, the effects of our sin will be rolled back. As one author writes, we'll effectively be picking up where the garden of Eden left off. Will we be working in heaven? Or will it be one long holiday? Will we get bored? Is that pain in the neck, busy-body, gossip, Mrs so and so from down the road going to be there to bend my ear for all eternity? Come on, eternity is an incredibly, unimaginably, long time. What are we going to be doing? The last book of the Bible, Revelation gives us the best indication of what we'll actually be doing. Now it's written in a style of literature called apocalyptic literature, for which we have no real equivalent in our culture today. The best way to describe it is picture language. So, here are the words, let them paint a picture in your heart. Revelation chapter 5: Then I saw between the throne and the four living creatures and among the elders a Lamb standing as if it had been slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. He went and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne. When he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, each holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song: ‘You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slaughtered and by your blood, ransomed for God, saints from every tribe and language and people and nation; you have made them to be a kingdom and priests serving our God, and they will reign on all the earth.' Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels surrounding the throne and living creatures and elders; they numbered myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, singing with full voice, ‘Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honour and glory and blessing!' Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, singing, ‘To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honour and glory and might forever and ever!' And the four living creatures said, ‘Amen!' And the elders fell down and worshiped. I don't know … I don't know about what else we'll be doing, but one of the main things that we're going to be doing is worshipping Jesus. What? For all eternity? Sure. He is an infinite God … He is an amazing God and when you and I stand in His Presence, I have to tell you, our instinctive reaction will be to worship and to worship and to worship. Have you ever been in a great time of worship at your church and wished it would never end? Well that … was only a shadow, just an inkling, of what is to come. We will be in His Presence and worship Him. Forever. There's a great song by Mercy Me called I Can Only Imagine. It goes like this: I can only imagine what it will be like, when I walk by your side. I can only imagine, what my eyes will see when your face is before me. I can only imagine. I can only imagine. Surrounded by your glory what will my heart feel? Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still? Will I stand in your Presence, or to my knees will I fall? Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all? I can only Imagine. I don't think that you and I can begin to imagine what it will mean to be in glory with Jesus, knowing that we are only there by His grace, through His suffering on that Cross. And because of His great love, God is our God, and we are His people and the home of God is amongst us. Friend, do you believe in Jesus? Then this is the certain hope that is in you. This is absolutely what is going to happen. And it will go on forever and ever and ever, AMEN! And that hope my friend is meant to fill your heart today. That hope is meant to overflow out of you into the lives and the hearts and the hurts and the fears and the failures and the sin of the people around you today. That hope is meant to spill out and flow out and touch them with the love of your God today. Are you a follower of Christ Jesus? Then you are meant to be a merchant of hope. An ambassador of Christ. We don't see people around us coming to Christ through the condemnation that we hurl at them, do we? How well has that ever worked for you? We see them come to the Christ when they see the hope that is in us, and they ask: why are you so up-beat? How can you be so happy? Why are you so strong through all the trials that you face? And you turn to them with a smile and you say, let me tell you about the hope that is in me. You and I are meant to be … merchants of hope. Cross Roads Over these last few weeks we've talked a lot about the future that Jesus has planned for you. A future so great, that it doesn't bear comparing to the suffering that we might have to travel through in this life. That's what the Apostle Paul said, right in the middle of a time of great suffering, in Romans chapter 8, verse 18, he said: I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing to the glory about to be revealed to us. But I know that there are some people who struggle to imagine that this eternal future, being in glory with Jesus for all eternity, could possibly be meant for them. I get that. In fact, the more you're struggling with the issues of life at the moment, the harder it is for you to lay hold of the truth that this eternal glory is actually meant for you. Jesus' disciples were struggling when He was telling them about what lay ahead for them. They were struggling because there was a plot afoot to assassinate Jesus. They were struggling because they weren't just afraid for Him, they were in fear of their own lives. All these amazing things they'd seen this Jesus do … would all be lost? Would He indeed be assassinated? So Jesus said to them: Don't let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God, believe also in Me. For in my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If it weren't so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may also be. And you know the way to the place where I am going. John chapter 14, verses 1 to 4. And my friend just as He was preparing a place for them, He was preparing a special place for you and for me. That's how personal this is. That's how real this is. So, do you know the way to the place where He was going, where He is today? Thomas said to him, ‘Lord, we don't know where you are going. How can we possibly know the way?' and Jesus said to them, ‘I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.' John chapter 14, verses 5 and 6 Friend, there is only one way. And that way is Jesus. All the things that we've talked about these past weeks, all the amazing blessings that lie ahead are only available to those who have put their trust in Jesus, the Son of God; who have given their lives over to Jesus. Now, if you haven't done that yet, if you've been listening to the amazing things that lie ahead in eternity and you want those for yourself, I am going to invite you right now to pray this prayer with me. To accept Jesus into your life as your Saviour, to hand your life over to Him as your Lord, to receive forgiveness and to receive eternal life. If you would like to do that, then please, pray this prayer with me in your heart: Dear God, thank you for Jesus. Thank you that you sent Him to die on that Cross to pay for my sins. Thank you that He rose again to give me eternal life. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God. And so I give my life to You, Lord Jesus, today. Forgive me please for all the things that I've done wrong. I turn away from those things today. Please fill me with your Holy Spirit, so that I can know you personally and have your power to live my life for you. From this day forward Lord God I belong to you and I believe in Jesus. All these things I've prayed in His name. Amen. Friend, if you just prayed that prayer with me, then you are forgiven, you have received the gift of eternal life freely given through Jesus, and all the things we've spoken about in this series about your eternal future belong to you. It's time for you to be filled with the certain hope that you have in Jesus Christ. It's time for you to become a merchant of hope, to share that hope with others around you. So let me encourage you to become part of a Bible believing church. In fact, I've recorded a series of messages called So Now What for anyone who just prayed that prayer. You'll find them in the Jesus section of our website: christianityworks.com. So go and have a listen and be blessed in your new life in Jesus Christ.

Synopsis On today's date in 1800, Beethoven's Symphony No. 1 had its first performance in Vienna, at a benefit concert for the 29-year-old composer. It would be several years before any of Beethoven's orchestral music reached American shores, but it did occur during Beethoven's lifetime. In 1819, for example, a “Grand Piano Concerto” as it was billed, was performed in New Orleans – only we have no idea which concerto. On today's date in 1825, when Beethoven was 54, his “Egmont” Overture was performed at the City Hotel in New York, and was performed again in Philadelphia on March 28, 1827 – just two days after its composer had died back in Vienna. By the 1840s, Beethoven's overtures and symphonies appeared with some regularity on the East Coast, and slowly worked their way Westward. In 1853, Beethoven's “Leonore” Overture No. 3 was performed in San Francisco by musicians gathered from that city's gambling houses. A letter describing the event recalled, “there were many Chinese present,” and that it “lasted four hours owing to an overwhelming demand for encores, which the performers dared not refuse in the face of rugged California individualism.” In 1856, when San Francisco's German Society gave the West Coast premiere of Beethoven's Fifth, The San Francisco Chronicle review the following day noted: “The pieces were very beautiful, but it must be said that some of them appeared to be considered very tedious by the greater number of the audience. The Adagio, Scherzo and Finale of Beethoven's Symphony, for instance, caused many to yawn.” Music Played in Today's Program Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) — Symphony No. 1 (Concertgebouw Orchestra; Bernard Haitink, cond.)

He has been one of the pioneers in the science and practice of brain gut microbiome interactions with applications in a wide range of diseases in gastrointestinal, psychiatric and neurological disorders. He has published more than 388 scientific papers and co-edited 3 scientific books. He is the recipient of the 2016 David McLean award from the American Psychosomatic Society and the 2017 Ismar Boas Medal from the German Society of Gastroenterology and Metabolic Disease. His current research interest is focused on the role of brain gut microbiome interactions in human diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, autism spectrum disorders, obesity and inflammatory bowel disease. In addition to his academic interests, Mayer has a longstanding interest in ancient healing traditions and affords them a level of respect rarely found in Western Medicine. He has been involved in documentary film productions about the Yanomami people in the Orinoco region of Venezuela, and the Asmat people in Irian Jaya. He has recently co-produced the award winning documentary “In Search of Balance” and is working on a new documentary “Interconnected Planet”. He is a strong believer in Buddhist philosophy, was a member of the UCLA Zen Center for several years, and got married in a Tibetan monastery by Choekyi Nyima Rinpoche in Kathmandu. He regularly pursues meditative practices. He has spoken at UCLA TEDx on the Mysterious Origins of Gut Feelings in 2015 and have been interviewed on National Public Radio, PBS and by many national and international media outlets including the Los Angeles and New York Times, Atlantic magazine and Stern and Spiegel Online. He is the author of the 2016 bestselling book The Mind Gut Connection published by Harper&Collins and translated in 16languages. In his recent book, The Gut Immune Connection, Mayer proposes a radical, unifying concept about the chronic disease epidemic we are finding ourselves in. He discusses how changes in our diet, lifestyle and the way we interact with the world during the last 75 years have led to a profound dysregulation of the community of trillions of microbes living in our gut, resulting in a progressive chronic activation of our immune system. This aberrant immune system activation is emerging as the root cause of our current epidemic of interrelated chronic diseases affecting every part of our body. In addition, it makes us more vulnerable to viral pandemics. He uses the One Health concept to explain the intricate interconnectedness between the microbes living in our gut, in the soil, the health of our plants and our own health. He proposes a solution to the chronic disease epidemic, which emphasizes the implementation of major lifestyle changes, and focuses on a radically different approach not only to our diet but to the world. What you will learn from this episode: 1) How the gut is connected to the immune system 2) How the gut is actually our first brain, not our second brain 3) How changes in the gut microbiome can lead to conditions like Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's disease 4) How the gut microbiome can impact mental health 5) How the serotonin in our gut microbiome can influence our health and how we feel How to learn more about our guest: emeranmayer.com uclacns.org microbiome.ucla.edu Facebook: @emeranamayer IG: #emeranamayer Linkedin: @emeranamayer Please enjoy, share, rate and review our podcast and help us bring the message about precision health care to the world!

#7 Professor Simon Werrett (UCL Professor of History and Philosophy of Science) talks about his award-winning book, THRIFTY SCIENCE. In Britain of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the practices of reuse, re-purpose, and recycle were core to the work of what became science. More important, if you follow the trails left by these activities, you'll find ideas that reorganise how we should think about the way science was done, where it was done, and who did the work. Professor Werrett also resurrects the old word “oeconomy,” putting it to work to help us understand why reuse was understood to be virtuous. And he explains how industrialisation in the nineteenth century substituted ideas related to consumption and specialisation. In this interview, Professor Werrett discusses the main ideas of his book, plus how he hopes to extend his analysis to histories of thrifty science in Russia and elsewhere. He also talks about other projects he has underway and some of the joys that come from a focus on material culture in the history of science and technology. In our age of recycling, is thrifty science making a comeback? Professor Werrett argues it never went away. It simply is something we tend to let drift out of focus. Simon's book: Simon Werrett. 2019. Making the Most of Materials in the History of Experiment (University of Chicago Press), ISBN 978-0-226-61025-2.

In this episode we talk about the problem with the BMI scale as a measure of health.The BMI was invented over 200 years ago by a Belgian MATHEMATICIAN-that's right, knew nothing about the human body, was not a DOCTOR or health professional- named Lambert Adolphe Jacques Quetelet. He came up with BMI to help the government allocate resources to the population, and had nothing to do with how “healthy” someone was. Quetelet even requested that the formula was not to be used to measure fatness, or someone’s health status. What is BMI? The body mass index is an equation that's talked about frequently in our medical system, in health classes, and in news articles that measures weight in relation to height. BMI uses height and weight to classify people into the categories “underweight”, “healthy”, “overweight”, “obese”, “morbidly obese”- all of which have a line that’s arbitrarily drawn to separate the categories without any other factors taken into consideration. No muscle mass, no health markers, no lifestyle factors, literally just height and weight. Ironically, although the CDC uses BMI as a measure of health, the CDC’s own data show that BMI measures are inaccurate at determining … well, just about anything really. You can be the exact same height and BMI as someone else and have very different bodies. Oh, and not to mention that very same data shows that nearly half of the people classified as “obese” by the BMI standard were perfectly metabolically healthy, actually. That’s because the human body is an organism not a fucking math equation.A better measurement of health and wellness - Waist-to-hip ratioThe waist-to-hip ratio is not only an excellent way of calculating how much excess weight you are carrying, it can also be used to indicate susceptibility to a number of health issues, including high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. You can read more about waist-to-hip ratio here. We also have a waist-to-hip calculator here.How do you calculate your waist-to-hip ratio?Using a tape measure, take a reading from your natural waistline and the widest part of your hips. Now divide the circumference of your waist by your hip circumference measurement. Once you've done that, compare to our results chart below.Waist-to-hip ratio results chartThe figures in the waist-to-hip chart below are based upon the standards set by the German Society for Sports Medicine and Prevention (DGSP).Men / Women< 0.90 / < 0.80 normal weight0.90 to 0.99 / 0.80 to 0.84 over-weight1.0+ / 0.85+ obesityNote that the World Health Organisation deems that abdominal obesity is represented by a waist–hip ratio above 0.90 for males and above 0.85 for females.Click HERE to learn more about our Metabolic Prehab™️ program!Connect with us:Website lsn.fitInstagram @lsn.coach@lizromannutrition @beccachilcz_nutritionEmail: liz@lsn.fit or becca@lsn.fitAffiliate partners:1stPhorm - Digestive Enzymes, Greens, Protein (Fruit D Loop is one of our favorites!)Magic Spoon - use coupon code 'LSN'Top Notch Nutrition - Sleep, Hydrate (Orange Mango is our favorite!)Built Bar - use coupon code 'LSN'

The History of Computing

Today we're going to cover a computer programming language many might not have heard of, ALGOL.  ALGOL was written in 1958. It wasn't like many of the other languages in that it was built by committee. The Association for Computing Machinery and the German Society of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics were floating around ideas for a universal computer programming language.  Members from the ACM were a who's who of people influential in the transition from custom computers that were the size of small homes to mainframes. John Backus of IBM had written a programming language called Speedcoding and then Fortran. Joseph Wegstein had been involved in the development of COBOL. Alan Perlis had been involved in Whirlwind and was with the Carnegie Institute of Technology. Charles Katz had worked with Grace Hopper on UNIVAC and FLOW-MATIC.  The Germans were equally as influential. Frederich Bauer had brought us the stack method while at the Technical University of Munich. Hermann Bottenbruch from The Institute for Applied Mathematics had written a paper on constructing languages. Klaus Samelson had worked on a computer called PERM that was similar to the MIT Whirlwind project. He'd come into computing while studying Eigenvalues.  Heinz Ritishauser had written a number of papers on programming techniques and had codeveloped the language Superplan while at the The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. This is where the meeting would be hosted. They went from May 27th to June 2nd in 1958 and initially called the language they would develop as IAL, or the International Algebraic Language. But would expand the name to ALGOL, short for Algorithmic Language. They brought us code blocks, the concept that you have a pair of words or symbols that would begin and end a stanza of code, like begin and end. They introduced nested scoped functions. They wrote the whole language right there. You would name a variable by simply saying integer or setting the variable as a := 1. You would substantiate a for and define the steps to perform until - the root of what we would now call a for loop. You could read a variable in from a punch card. It had built-in SIN and COSIN. It was line based and fairly simple functional programming by today's standards. They defined how to handle special characters, built boolean operators, floating point notation. It even had portable types.  And by the end had a compiler that would run on the Z22 computer from Konrad Zuse. While some of Backus' best work it effectively competed with FORTRAN and never really gained traction at IBM. But it influenced almost everything that happened afterwards.  Languages were popping up all over the place and in order to bring in more programmers, they wanted a formalized way to allow languages to flourish, but with a standardized notation system so algorithms could be published and shared and developers could follow along with logic. One outcome of the ALGOL project was the Backus–Naur form, which was the first such standardization. That would be expanded by Danish Peter Naur for ALGOL 60, thus the name. In ALGOL 60 they would meet in Paris, also adding Father John McCarthy, Julien Green, Bernard Vauquois, Adriaan van Wijngaarden, and Michael Woodger. It got refined, yet a bit more complicated. FORTRAN and COBOL use continued to rage on, but academics loved ALGOL. And the original implementation now referred to as the ZMMD implementation, gave way to X1 ALGOL, Case ALGOL, ZAM in Poland, GOGOL, VALGOL, RegneCentralen ALGOL, Whetstone ALGOL for physics, Chinese ALGOL, ALGAMS, NU ALGOL out of Norway, ALGEK out of Russia,  Dartmouth ALGOL, DG/L, USS 90 Algol, Elliot ALGOL, the ALGOL Translator, Kidsgrove Algol, JOVIAL, Burroughs ALGOL, Niklaus Firths ALGOL W, which led to Pascal, MALGOL, and the last would be S-algol in 1979.  But it got overly complicated and overly formal. Individual developers wanted more flexibility here and there. Some wanted simpler languages. Some needed more complicated languages. ALGOL didn't disappear as much as it evolved into other languages. Those were coming out fast and with a committee to approve changes to ALGOL, they were much slower to iterate.  You see, ALGOL profoundly shaped how we think of programming languages. That formalization was critical to paving the way for generations of developers who brought us future languages. ALGOL would end up being the parent of CPL and through CPL, BCPL, C, C++, and through that Objective-C. From ALGOL also sprang Simula and through Simula, Smalltalk. And Pascal and from there, Modula and Delphi. It was only used for a few years but it spawned so much of what developers use to build software today.  In fact, other languages evolved as anti-ALGOL-derivitives, looking at how you did something and deciding to do it totally differently.  And so we owe this crew our thanks. They helped to legitimize a new doctrine, a new career, computer programmer. They inspired. They coded. And in so doing, they helped bring us into the world of functional programming and set structures that allowed the the next generation of great thinkers to go even further, directly influencing people like Adele Goldberg and Alan Kay.  And it's okay that the name of this massive contribution is mostly lost to the annals of history. Because ultimately, the impact is not. So think about this - what can we do to help shape the world we live in? Whether it be through raw creation, iteration, standardization, or formalization - we all have a role to play in this world. I look forward to hearing more about yours as it evolves!

Lecture summary: There are currently two important issues confronting the international space community. Does international space legislation permit the digging of resources from celestial bodies? And: how to get rid of the enormous amount of space junk that currently populates at interesting orbit and threaten space activities? The lecture will try to give answers to these problems by highlighting the current state of affairs with regard to space legislation which is a mix of international treaty law and what some people call “soft” law. Professor Dr. Dr. h.c. Stephan Hobe is Director of the Institute of Air Law, Space Law and Cyber Law and Professor at the University of Cologne. He is author and editor of more than 300 books and articles including “Introduction to Public International Law”, 10th edition 2014, “European Law”, 9th edition 2018 and Space Law (2019).

Here we go with another episode from Nerds Amalgamated. This week is packed full of fun stuff to look forward to. First up is it a robot or is it a dog? It is Boston Dynamics student competitors with Standford Doggo. This fabulous little robot is awesome and does tricks, listen in to find out what they are. Also did you want your very own robot doggo? Well you are in luck as we tell you about how to get one. Also check our website for the show notes with hyperlinks, you need the article to get what you need. Next up we have DJ telling us about a proposed new series coming out based on a movie. Yep, another movie is being adapted for your viewing pleasure. It will once again not have the same actors in it that were the main stars in the movie, like so many others out there. But hopefully it will be enjoyable all the same. We won’t hold our breathe but surely they will have learned something over there by now… Who the heck are we kidding, those idiots never listen to anyone else, let alone the proposed viewing public. Next up we look at the blooper that is worthy of a standing ovation. Someone involved with the release of a game from Bethesda studios forgot the DRM. We know, how unlike Bethesda to stuff up something right? BWAHAHA!!! This amazing bit of luck is available on Steam and quite probably numerous other websites that deal in nefarious shadowy dealings. We personally are unaware of the names of such sites and therefore are unable to confirm or deny such suggestions. But come on, just think about it, a brand new game released without the DRM and no one is going to chase that down the rabbit hole of pirating it? Yeah, like Game of Thrones was never pirated ever. We have the usual shout outs, remembrances, birthdays and events from history. Plus games we are playing at the moment. All combined into one big mess that we call the show. We hope you enjoy and as always, stay safe, look after each other and stay hydrated.EPISODE NOTES: Back flipping robot - https://www.futurity.org/doggo-robot-2067152/True Lies TV series reboot - https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/true-lies-tv-adaptation-heading-disney/DRM - https://steamcommunity.com/games/548570/announcements/detail/2565275416672419265Games currently playingBuck – The Crew 2 - https://store.steampowered.com/app/646910/The_Crew_2/Professor – Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead - https://cataclysmdda.org/DJ – Steep - https://store.steampowered.com/app/460920/Steep/(edited)Other topics discussedHold my Beer Comedy- http://westender.com.au/circus-coming-hold-beer-end-westend/Flipsy the dog (Simpsons reference)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_nGJvqHcV8LEGO Mindstorms- https://www.lego.com/en-us/mindstormsHulu might take Marvel shows such as Daredevil - https://www.cinemablend.com/television/2466812/hulu-is-down-to-revive-daredevil-and-other-cancelled-marvel-tv-showsDenuvo - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denuvo- https://www.howtogeek.com/400126/what-is-denuvo-and-why-do-gamers-hate-it/Red Bull Air Championships- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Bull_Air_Race_World_Championship6ix9ine (rapper)- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6ix9ineCutscene saga (That’s Not Canon Production Podcast)- https://thatsnotcanon.com/cutscenesagapodcastShoutouts20 May 1736 - Westminster Bridge Defies a King and the Church - The Archbishop of Canterbury – head of the Church in England – probably prayed there would never be a bridge across the River Thames at Westminster. But he was not alone. Up to the end of the 17th Century most traffic moved up and down on the river rather than by road. River transport was big business and the men who plied their trade on boats and ferries had a lot to lose from the construction of new bridges. They were backed by the Corporation of London which did not want trade moving to the fringes of London, but claimed its main objections were the loss of custom to the watermen and to the City markets and the danger of the navigation of the river being impeded. One of the claims was that if the watermen lost their jobs there would be fewer readily available seamen for the navy if England went to war. The arguments raged on until in 1664 a major proposal for a bridge was made to the King's Privy Council and to the Lord Mayor. City businesses then played their ace card and bribed King Charles II to scrap the proposal. Officially, it was an interest-free loan, but however the transaction was described the effect was that the building of Westminster Bridge would not take place for nearly 100 years. However, over time various people continued to press for such a bridge until in 1721 petitions went to Parliament. There was the same opposition as before but in the end the case was won and permission to build the bridge finally received Royal Approval on 20 May 1736, when George II was on the throne. Work began in 1738 and the bridge was opened on 18 November 1750. - https://www.onthisday.com/articles/westminster-bridge-defies-a-king-and-the-church21 May 1792 - Mount Unzen on Japan's Shimabara Peninsula, erupts creating a tsunami, killing about 15,000; Japan's deadliest volcanic eruption. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1792_Unzen_earthquake_and_tsunami21 May 1980 - "Star Wars Episode V - Empire Strikes Back", produced by George Lucas opens in cinemas in UK and North America -https://www.onthisday.com/people/george-lucas 21 May 2004 - Stanislav Petrov awarded World Citizen Award for averting a potential nuclear war in 1983 after correctly guessing Russian early warning system at fault - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov22 May 2019 - Illawarra scientist and inventor Macinley Butson has been featured by the world's biggest video sharing website YouTube for her SMART Armour copper cancer shield fabric.

He was the only driver in F1 history to have been champion for both Ferrari and McLaren, the sport's two most successful constructors. He is widely considered one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time. As an aviation entrepreneur, he founded and ran three airlines: Lauda Air, Niki, and Lauda. He was a Bombardier Business Aircraft brand ambassador. He was also a consultant for Scuderia Ferrari and team manager of the Jaguar Formula One racing team for two years. Afterwards, he worked as a pundit for German TV during Grand Prix weekends and acted as non-executive chairman of Mercedes-AMG Petronas Motorsport, of which Lauda owned 10%. Having emerged as Formula One's star driver amid a 1975 title win and leading the 1976 championship battle, Lauda was seriously injured in a crash at the 1976 German Grand Prix at the Nürburgring during which his Ferrari 312T2 burst into flames, and he came close to death after inhaling hot toxic fumes and suffering severe burns. However, he survived and recovered sufficiently to race again just six weeks later at the Italian Grand Prix. Although he narrowly lost the title to James Hunt that year, he won his second Ferrari crown the year after during his final season at the team. After a couple of years at Brabham and two years' hiatus, Lauda returned and raced four seasons for McLaren between 1982 and 1985 – during which he won the 1984 title by 0.5 points over his teammate Alain Prost. He died of natural causes at 70 in Zurich. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niki_Lauda21 May 1935 - Jane Addams, known as the mother of social work, a pioneer American settlement activist/reformer, social worker, public philosopher, sociologist, public administrator, protester, author, and leader in women's suffrage and world peace. She co-founded Chicago's Hull House, one of America's most famous settlement houses. In 1920, she was a co-founder for the ACLU. In 1931, she became the first American woman to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and is recognized as the founder of the social work profession in the United States. She is increasingly being recognized as a member of the American pragmatist school of philosophy and is known by many as the first woman "public philosopher in the history of the United States". In the Progressive Era, when presidents such as Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson identified themselves as reformers and social activists, Addams was one of the most prominent reformers. She helped America address and focus on issues that were of concern to mothers, such as the needs of children, local public health, and world peace. In her essay "Utilization of Women in City Government," Addams noted the connection between the workings of government and the household, stating that many departments of government, such as sanitation and the schooling of children, could be traced back to traditional women's roles in the private sphere. Thus, these were matters of which women would have more knowledge than men, so women needed the vote to best voice their opinions. She said that if women were to be responsible for cleaning up their communities and making them better places to live, they needed to be able to vote to do so effectively. Addams became a role model for middle-class women who volunteered to uplift their communities. She died of cancer at 74 in Chicago, Illinois. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Addams - https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/peace/1931/addams/biographical/23 May 1701 - William Kidd, Scottish sailor who was tried and executed for piracy after returning from a voyage to the Indian Ocean.

He was hanged for his crimes at 47 in Execution Dock,Wapping, London. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_KiddFamous birthdays21 May 1948 – Leo Sayer, English-Australian singer-songwriter musician and entertainer whose singing career has spanned four decades. He is now an Australian citizen and resident. Sayer launched his career in the United Kingdom in the early 1970s, and became a top singles and album act on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1970s. His first seven hit singles in the United Kingdom all reached the Top 10 – a feat first registered by his first manager, Adam Faith. His songs have been sung by other notable artists, including Cliff Richard ("Dreaming"). He was born in Shoreham-by-Sea, Sussex - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Sayer21 May 1960 - Jeffrey Dahmer, also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster, was an American serial killer and sex offender. Although he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder,schizotypal personality disorder, and a psychotic disorder, Dahmer was found to be legally sane at his trial. He was convicted of 15 of the 16 murders he had committed in Wisconsin, and was sentenced to 15 terms of life imprisonment on February 15, 1992.

This episode of the Korea Now podcast features an interview that Jed Lea-Henry conducted with Boris Kondoch. They speak about the legal foundations of the use of force in international law, the right to self-defence, the injunction against the use of force, protections against international aggression, the conditions under which such central legal tenets stand-up and when they fail, the place held by human rights law, the right to humanitarian intervention as a form of remedy, how the doctrine of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) has been incorporated into the international order, and importantly how these frameworks apply legally and normatively to the case of North Korea. An expert in international law, Boris Kondoch is a Professor at Far East University in South Korea and the Editor of the Journal of International Peacekeeping. He has previously taught international law and ethics in international relations as a Professor at the graduate school of law and the political science department of Korea University, and held a research fellowship for the President of the German Society of International Law at the Institute of Public Law at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University.

Abstract The recent increase in the proportion of the population with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes is a matter of great concern for global public health. The rising incidence of these disorders is clearly attributable to changes in the environment that promote caloric consumption and decrease energy expenditure. However, we need to understand why some individuals are susceptible to obesogenic influences while others remain resistant. Similarly, it would be helpful to have a better insight into the mechanises whereby some seriously obese people completely avoid the metabolic consequences of over-nutrition while others succumb to the disabling complications of metabolic derangement despite being only modestly obese. In this lecture, Professor O'Rahilly will describe how human genetics has helped to enhance our understanding of our susceptibility or resistance to obesity and its adverse metabolic consequences. The findings have broad-ranging implications for the management of individual patients, for drug development and for public health strategies. About the speaker Stephen O'Rahilly is Professor of Clinical Biochemistry and Medicine at the University of Cambridge and Honorary Consultant Physician at Addenbrooke's Hospital. He led the establishment of the Institute of Metabolic Science, which he now co-directs. He is Scientific Director of the Cambridge NIHR Biomedical Research Centre. He qualified in Medicine from University College Dublin and undertook post-graduate training in London, Oxford and Boston before setting up his laboratory in Cambridge in 1991. He has sought to better understand the molecular mechanisms leading to diabetes, obesity and related metabolic and endocrine disorders. He remains active in clinical practice and in the teaching of medical students. He has won many national and international awards including the Heinrich Wieland Prize, the Inbev Baillet Latour Prize, and the Zülch Prize. He was elected to the Royal Society in 2003, a Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Sciences USA in 2011 and is an Honorary Member of the German Society for Internal Medicine and the Royal Irish Academy. He was appointed a Knight Bachelor in 2013.

From Dr. Palti: "Dental implantology is my passion. I have dedicated over 30 years of my time and energy to this specialist field of dentistry. As one of the pioneers in Germany, I have collaborated significantly on the optimization of this discipline and acquired around 20 patents for materials and medical technologies. Training of the next generation of dentists and the transfer of knowledge are among my most important areas of activity alongside my practical work as an implant specialist and dental surgeon. In addition to teaching at leading American Universities, I also devote time to the continuing education of up-and-coming dentists on a national and international scale.

Aired Thursday, 3 August 2017, 4:00 PM ET The Reality of Porn with Dr. Jakob Pastoetter Few topics are more controversial than Porn. This is because Porn stands so much in the intersection not only of so many different points of view what sexuality should be about but also of what constitutes a visual medium and a piece of art in general, what are their messages, and how do they exert influence on our real world experiences and interactions. As with many other things, you can only try to approach from different angles to get an idea of what constitutes the “Reality of Porn” for different people, rather than to decide once and for all what it “really” is. In this show German Sexologist Dr. Jakob Pastoetter will answer these five questions to get a clearer picture: 1) what makes porn porn; 2) tell us about ethical porn; 3) is porn addictive; 4) what are the harmful effects of porn; 5) what are porn perception differences between men and women – preferences/ views/ attitudes; 6) my partner watches a lot of porn. Is this cheating? About the Guest: Dr. Jakob Pastoetter Dr. Jakob Pastoetter started as a very spiritually interested teenager, delved then into cultural anthropology, developed a taste for sexology while doing research at the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, wrote his doctoral thesis on Hardcore Pornography and the Constrain to Self-constrain Mechanisms of the Civilizing Process it is entangled in – Question: Why were Sexually Explicit Pictures only developed as an Entertainment Medium in the Postindustrialized Western societies.

Sexologists usually try to cure this with even more information and concentration on sex, and for many people that might be helpful because they have no words of their own to articulate their sexual needs and desires. But there are those others for whom this doesn’t work because they suffer from a kind of sex poisoning. This can only be cured by going back to the roots which aren’t anatomical, technical, or visual but primordial, archaic, and spiritual. Sex as “just sex” quickly becomes empty and shallow if the connection to Eros gets cut. Eros is not just the chubby little angel with bow and arrow but is the primordial god of procreation who emerged self-formed at the dawn of creation. Eros was the driving force behind the generation of new life in the cosmos.

Introduction: To evaluate safety and efficacy of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for stage I non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a patterns-of-care and patterns-of-outcome analysis. Methods: The working group Extracranial Stereotactic Radiotherapy of the German Society for Radiation Oncology performed a retrospective multicenter analysis of practice and outcome after SBRT for stage I NSCLC. Sixteen German and Austrian centers with experience in pulmonary SBRT were asked to participate. Results: Data of 582 patients treated at 13 institutions between 1998 and 2011 were collected; all institutions, except one, were academic hospitals. A time trend to more advanced radiotherapy technologies and escalated irradiation doses was observed, but patient characteristics (age, performance status, pulmonary function) remained stable over time. Interinstitutional variability was substantial in all treatment characteristics but not in patient characteristics. After an average follow-up of 21 months, 3-year freedom from local progression (FFLP) and overall survival (OS) were 79.6% and 47.1%, respectively. The biological effective dose was the most significant factor influencing FFLP and OS: after more than 106 Gy biological effective dose as planning target volume encompassing dose (N = 164), 3-year FFLP and OS were 92.5% and 62.2%, respectively. No evidence of a learning curve or improvement of results with larger SBRT experience and implementation of new radiotherapy technologies was observed. Conclusion: SBRT for stage I NSCLC was safe and effective in this multi-institutional, academic environment, despite considerable interinstitutional variability and time trends in SBRT practice. Radiotherapy dose was identified as a major treatment factor influencing local tumor control and OS.

Background: Late effects after radiotherapy in childhood and adolescence have mainly been characterized retrospectively with small patient numbers. However, these analyses are limited due to little information regarding organ dose levels in many cases. To overcome this limitation, the German Group of Paediatric Radiation Oncology (APRO) established the, Registry for the evaluation of late side effects after radiation in childhood and adolescence" (RiSK). The study protocol and the documentation forms are given in this publication. Methods/Design: Radiation parameters including detailed organ doses as well as toxicity evaluations are collected prospectively from centres all over Germany. Standardized documentation forms are used. These forms are given in an English and German version as additional files to this publication. Documentation is planned for all children who receive radiotherapy in one of the therapy trials of the "German Society of Paediatric Oncology and Haematology (GPOH)". The study started in a pilot phase in June 2001 in few centres. Since 2004 documentation has been performed all over Germany and is still on-going. Discussion: To our knowledge, "RiSK" is the only multi-centre study that evaluates radiation associated side effects prospectively with detailed information about organ dose levels. With ongoing recruitment and prolongation of follow-up powerful data will be obtained in a few years. A broad use and international cooperation are welcome.

The Reference Institute of Bioanalysis of the German Society of Clinical Chemistry has performed the first external assessment of molecular genetics methods used in medical diagnosis. The following procedures were tested: (I) DNA preparation from whole blood, (II) PCR amplification using "standard" primers, and (III) submarine agarose gel electrophoresis. Out of 50 participants, 45 returned samples for evaluation.
