The fifth edition of London Gallery Weekend takes place this weekend, and opens as the global art market is at a low ebb. So what can it do to change the mood? Ben Luke speaks to Ananya Mukhopadhyay, the managing director of Ames Yavuz, which is opening a new London gallery to coincide with the weekend events, and Jeremy Epstein, co-director of the Edel Assanti gallery, who is the co-founder and co-director of London Gallery Weekend.

“How can we kind of be a little cutting edge? How can we find something new and innovative to help push us forward, help push the program forward?” Coach JT Klopcic, the associate head coach of cross country and track and field at Goucher College, lives by these questions as he integrates new technology into his training toolkit. In this episode, he joins Brad Miles to share how the Lever system, once just a recovery aid, evolved into a core part of his athletes' performance routines. What's the real value of body weight support in training? Coach JT explains how it helps his athletes build endurance and strength while easing physical strain, setting them up for high-quality workouts and consistent progress.    As Coach JT breaks down his approach, he offers insights into the careful balance of innovation and tradition—when to stick with tried-and-true methods and when to embrace tools that move the needle. For any coach looking to push their program forward, this episode is a reminder: sometimes, it's the progressive steps that make the difference between a good season and a breakthrough.   Quotes “I started to realize, we've gotten some really good, high-quality workouts in on this. Why don't we try sprinkling it (Lever) in a little bit more throughout some of our cycles as true workouts?” (06:44 | JT Klopcic) “What I might do is, in those first three weeks, set it ( Lever) at 40% of body weight, doing three sets of 15 seconds at their spin tempo pace. Then, over the next three weeks, I might either increase the duration to 20 seconds or reduce the percentage of body weight being taken off by the lever. It's a progressive approach that gradually leads to the goal.” (10:59 | JT Klopcic) “Being able to take a little bit of that load off and do some of our more or true endurance workouts on the Lever has really, really kind of helped us.” (12:56 | JT Klopcic) “The Lever has certainly been really, really huge for us and certainly pushing us forward, especially with that middle distance group.” (22:45 | JT Klopcic)   Links Connect with  JT Goucher: https://www.instagram.com/gouchertfxc/   https://www.instagram.com/levermovement/  https://www.instagram.com/bradmiles/ https://levermovement.com/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Slow Time is Antje Rauwerda's debut novel. The Goucher College professor set her story in Govans, the northeast Baltimore neighborhood she calls come. The setting comes alive in Rauwerda's story, and is as vibrantly described as the characters who live there. At the outset of the story, the book's protagonists, Danny and Em, know each other only in passing. As their connection deepens, we learn about their pasts, what they have lost and how they have coped with those losses.

José Antonio Bowen: Teaching With AI José Antonio Bowen has won teaching awards at Stanford and Georgetown and is past president of Goucher College. He has written over 100 scholarly articles and has appeared as a musician with Stan Getz, Bobby McFerrin, and others. He is the author of multiple books in higher education and is a senior fellow for the American Association of Colleges and Universities. He is the author with C. Edward Watson of Teaching With AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning*. AI will change how we work, but it's also going to change how we think. In this conversation, José and I explore where to begin working with AI and why those who can use it will serve a critical role in shaping what's next. Key Points Physical maps make you smarter than GPS, but GPS is more practical for daily use. AI isn't inherently good or bad, but like the internet, it will change how we work. AI will eliminate some jobs, but it will change every job. Those who can work with AI will replace those who can't. Rather than thinking about creativity through the lens of responses from AI, focus on bringing creativity into your prompts. Most of the AI progress for companies is coming from non-tech folks that are figuring our how specific tasks get more efficient. AI is very good at some things and not good at others. You'll discover how this relates to your work by experimenting with different prompts.

“Black motherhood has consistently been a contested space. Black women have just fought for their rights to be. And so when we say Black motherhood, to me, the reality of Black motherhood itself is the resistance. And we still stand and we claim what it means to be Black mothers. We've got to consistently stand firm trying to raise healthy children in spite of it all.”Rev. Dr. Kelly Brown Douglas (Episcopal Divinity School) discusses the gift and grace of Black motherhood to the world and what we can learn from Black mothers about love and resistance. Appreciating the example they set for the meaning of justice that emerges from love, and the capacity for love that emerges from justice, Dr. Douglas offers beautiful examples and expressions of the joy and abundance that Black motherhood means.She reflects on the impact of her maternal grandmother on her life; the Langston Hughes poem “Mother and Son”—which is a testimony of perseverance and robust agency; the glorious hush harbor sermon and ode to self-love and dignity, delivered by Baby Suggs Holy, known as “The Sermon in the Clearing" in Toni Morrison's Beloved. It gave me chills to hear Dr. Douglas read the sermon. She looks back to the example set by Mamie Till, the mother of Emmitt Till, who as a 14 year old boy was lynched in 1955. And Dr. Douglas speaks in witness to the fear, pain, and grief of the Black mother during the Black Lives Matter era, drawing not only on her expertise in Womanist Theology, but her close relationship with her own son.“The Sermon in the Clearing”Toni Morrison's Beloved“Here,” she said, “in this here place, we flesh; flesh that weeps, laughs; flesh that dances on bare feet in the grass. Love it. Love it hard. Yonder they do not love your flesh. They despise it. They don't love your eyes; they'd just as soon pick em out. No more do they love the skin on your back. Yonder they flay it. And O my people they do not love your hands. Those they only use, tie, bind, chop off and leave empty. Love your hands! Love them. Raise them up and kiss them. Touch others with them, pat them together, stroke them on your face 'cause they don't love that either. You got to love it, you*! And no, they ain't in love with your mouth. Yonder, out there, they will see it broken and break it again. What you say out of it they will not heed. What you scream from it they do not hear. What you put into it to nourish your body they will snatch away and give you leavins instead. No, they don't love your* mouth. You got to love it. This is flesh I'm talking about here. Flesh that needs to be loved. Feet that need to rest and to dance; backs that need support; shoulders that need arms, strong arms I'm telling you. And O my people, out yonder, hear me, they do not love your neck unnoosed and straight. So love your neck; put a hand on it, grace it, stroke it, and hold it up. And all your inside parts that they'd just as soon slop for hogs, you got to love them. The dark, dark liver—love it, love it, and the beat and beating heart, love that too. More than eyes or feet. More than lungs that have yet to draw free air. More than your life-holding womb and your life-giving private parts, hear me now, love your heart. For this is the prize.” Saying no more, she stood up then and danced with her twisted hip the rest of what her heart had to say while the others opened their mouths and gave her the music. Long notes held until the four-part harmony was perfect enough for their deeply loved flesh.Mother to SonBY LANGSTON HUGHESWell, son, I'll tell you:Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.It's had tacks in it,And splinters,And boards torn up,And places with no carpet on the floor—Bare.But all the timeI'se been a-climbin' on,And reachin' landin's,And turnin' corners,And sometimes goin' in the darkWhere there ain't been no light.So boy, don't you turn back.Don't you set down on the steps'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.Don't you fall now—For I'se still goin', honey,I'se still climbin',And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.About Kelly Brown DouglasThe Rev.

That could also be a product of their surroundings.Hillel can help your student find the hub of Jewish life at their school and can help to compare student life at different schools. Parents, allow your student to reach out and email the schools and organizations themselves.Colleges love diversity and want teens to share their authentic selves. They want to create communities with different voices and perspectives. Don't be afraid to share what matters to you.  “If it's important to you, and if it's authentic to understanding who you are, how you have evolved as a person, and your lived experiences, yes, the colleges want to hear about that. That is welcomed on college campuses. They do want to create communities of students who have different backgrounds and insights and perspectives, and your voice is valid as long as that's the story that you want to share.” – Sam JoustraAbout Sam Joustra: Sam Joustra came to Collegewise after working in college admissions for ten years at three different institutions.

Slow Time is Antje Rauwerda's debut novel. The Goucher College professor set her story in Govans, the northeast Baltimore neighborhood she calls come. The setting comes alive in Rauwerda's story, and is as vibrantly described as the characters who call Govans home. At the outset of the story, the book's protagonists, Danny and Em, know each other only in passing. As their connection deepens, we learn about their pasts, what they have lost, and how they have coped with those losses.Email us at midday@wypr.org, tweet us: @MiddayWYPR, or call us at 410-662-8780.

This past weekend, a pedestrian in Silver Spring was killed by a driver of a vehicle. It marked the first pedestrian death this year and comes on the heels of the Montgomery County Council approving a pedestrian safety plan late last year. Montgomery County Council President Andrew Friedson gets behind the mic to talk about what the county is doing to keep pedestrians safe. Plus, the fallout continues at Montgomery County Public Schools after an investigation led Superintendent Monifa McKnight to resign earlier this month. Late last week, former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan made the surprise announcement that he is jumping into the U.S. Senate race. Goucher College's Mileah Kromer, author of a book about Hogan, Blue State Republican, joins the show to talk about why the former governor is jumping into the race now, his chances against a Democratic challenger, and what it could mean for the U.S. Senate. The Alexandria arena deal appeared to be a slam dunk, but it's hit some speed bumps. While legislation did pass in the House of Delegates yesterday, a bill stalled in the Senate. Virginia Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell (D-Alexandria) weighs in on what happened and what comes next. Plus, what other important legislation is moving forward in Richmond… and what isn't?
