This Day in Legal History: Fundamental Laws of 1906On December 30, 1905, Tsar Nicholas II signed the “Fundamental Laws of 1906,” marking a pivotal moment in the Russian Empire's struggle between autocracy and constitutionalism. This act came in response to the Revolution of 1905, a period of mass unrest fueled by political repression, economic hardship, and a humiliating defeat in the Russo-Japanese War. The October Manifesto, issued two months earlier, had promised the establishment of a legislative Duma and the expansion of civil liberties. However, the Fundamental Laws, signed in December, revealed the Tsar's intention to retain ultimate authority despite these concessions.The document laid out a framework for governance, establishing a bicameral legislature with the Duma as its lower house, but Article 4 made clear that “the All-Russian Emperor possesses the supreme autocratic power.” This meant that, legally, any legislative progress remained subordinate to the Tsar's will. The laws also granted the Tsar control over the military, foreign policy, and the ability to dissolve the Duma at his discretion.While the Fundamental Laws introduced formal legal structures and acknowledged the existence of limited civil rights, they were largely symbolic gestures rather than meaningful reforms. Instead of curbing autocratic rule, the laws codified it, cloaking absolute monarchy in the appearance of legality. This duality deepened public dissatisfaction and political fragmentation.Rather than stabilizing the empire, the signing of the Fundamental Laws sowed further distrust in the regime and highlighted the Tsar's unwillingness to relinquish power. These contradictions contributed to the failure of the Duma system and fueled revolutionary momentum that would ultimately culminate in the revolutions of 1917.The Trump administration reached an agreement to review certain NIH grant applications that had been stalled or rejected amid a broader legal challenge over cuts to diversity-related research funding. The agreement followed a federal court ruling in Boston that found the NIH acted unlawfully when it canceled grants based on their perceived ties to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Though the Supreme Court later paused part of that ruling and shifted some aspects of the litigation to a court specializing in monetary claims, the review process for future NIH funding remained in legal limbo.Under the new agreement, the NIH will re-evaluate previously frozen or withdrawn grant applications, though it is not required to fund any specific proposals. Plaintiffs in the case, including researchers and several Democratic-led states, argued that the impacted studies—focusing on topics like HIV prevention, LGBTQ health, Alzheimer's, and sexual violence—serve vital public health needs.One of the plaintiffs, University of New Mexico postdoctoral researcher Nikki Maphis, said the agreement allows important scientific work to resume after what she described as an “arbitrary and destructive freeze.” The underlying NIH policy change, which cut funding for projects deemed to reflect ideological rather than scientific priorities, remains contested. A prior ruling blocking the policy is still under appeal by the Department of Health and Human Services.Trump administration agrees to review stalled NIH research grants after lawsuit | ReutersThe Trump administration's aggressive defunding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has pushed the agency to the brink of collapse, jeopardizing one of the few federal institutions explicitly designed to protect everyday Americans from financial harm. Created in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, the CFPB has long served as a crucial recourse for people facing predatory lending, credit reporting errors, identity theft, and financial discrimination. The agency has helped return more than $21 billion to consumers since its founding. And yet, under President Trump's second term, it's being systematically dismantled—through funding cuts, legal challenges, and staffing reductions—with the administration openly declaring its intent to shut the agency down.In the absence of the CFPB, those wronged by financial institutions—like Bianca Jones, who battled a credit reporting error that nearly cost her a home, or Morgan Smith, who turned to the agency after being targeted by identity theft—may find themselves with nowhere to turn. The administration claims the CFPB promotes a political agenda, but the result is fewer protections for those already vulnerable. Rules around medical debt, overdraft fees, credit card terms, and mortgage lending have been gutted. Investigations have been shelved. Enforcement is evaporating.Critics argue that other regulators can fill the gap, but the CFPB was created because no one else was doing the job. Without it, financial institutions are more likely to abuse their power with impunity.You should ask yourself: who benefits when a consumer watchdog is taken offline? Because it certainly isn't the teachers, the single parents, the sick, or the struggling borrowers trying to make sense of a system stacked against them. It's the companies who'd rather not answer for what they do in the dark.Trump's funding cuts put America's consumer watchdog on the brink of collapse | ReutersA federal appeals court ruled that it cannot hear Amazon's constitutional challenge to the structure of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), deepening a circuit split on the issue and increasing the likelihood of U.S. Supreme Court review. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals found that Amazon's case stemmed from a labor dispute and was therefore barred by the Norris-LaGuardia Act, which prohibits courts from intervening in active labor disputes. Amazon had filed the lawsuit to halt an NLRB case claiming it was a joint employer of unionized drivers working for a subcontractor and therefore obligated to bargain with their union.Amazon's broader claim—that the NLRB's structure is unconstitutional because its board members and judges are protected from at-will removal—has gained traction elsewhere. The 5th Circuit, in a recent case involving Elon Musk's SpaceX, ruled that such protections are unlawful and allowed a similar challenge to proceed. But the 9th Circuit firmly disagreed, emphasizing that courts should not interfere with labor board proceedings, regardless of the constitutional claims involved.This ruling aligns with a 3rd Circuit decision and stands in direct conflict with the 5th Circuit, setting the stage for a high-stakes resolution by the Supreme Court. Importantly, the 9th Circuit's ruling doesn't completely shut the door on such challenges—employers can still raise constitutional objections in NLRB proceedings and appeal after the fact. But for now, Amazon and other companies must make their case through the channels Congress established for resolving labor disputes.US court says it can't hear Amazon's NLRB challenge, deepening circuit split | ReutersA Utah judge has granted the release of most of the transcript and audio from a closed hearing in the high-profile case involving the fatal shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. The hearing, held in October, addressed courtroom safety measures for the accused, Tyler Robinson, who is charged with aggravated murder and other serious offenses. Prosecutors allege Robinson fired a single fatal shot from a rooftop during a university event where Kirk was speaking, and they intend to seek the death penalty.Judge Tony Graf ruled that only about one page of the 80-page transcript would remain redacted, primarily for safety and security reasons. He also clarified that media organizations do not need special legal status to cover the proceedings, rejecting a request that would have guaranteed them advance notice of any future attempts to close hearings.Graf has already decided that Robinson can appear in civilian clothing but must remain physically restrained in court. However, media outlets are prohibited from photographing or filming his restraints, as defense attorneys argued such images could bias potential jurors. A hearing set for February will address whether cameras will be allowed in the courtroom at all.Kirk's death, which occurred during a campus debate, triggered widespread condemnation of political violence from across the ideological spectrum.Judge grants release of redacted transcript of Charlie Kirk case hearing | ReutersAs 2025 winds down, my Bloomberg column this week is a year-end piece reflecting not just on what was written, but on which ideas still resonate because the problems they address remain unresolved. The lasting relevance of several pieces underscores how little has shifted in tax and policy debates. A July column urging states to break free from federal tax volatility feels even more urgent now, as states still cling to unstable baselines. Early in the year, hopes that efficiency rhetoric (read: DOGE) might close the tax gap faded, with political discomfort around auditing the wealthy preventing any meaningful change. April's look at the step-up in basis revealed how death, not borrowing, remains the biggest capital gains loophole—and one Congress left untouched in the 2025 tax law. A May column on IRS immigration enforcement gains new resonance as the crackdown deepens, pushing some immigrant workers further from voluntary compliance. And October's piece on Pung v. Isabella County remains live, with the Supreme Court set to decide whether fairness in tax foreclosures means market value or simply what the government collects.Each of these columns anticipated weather patterns we're now standing in—proof less of foresight and more of inertia. If 2026 brings more engagement, even without clear solutions, there's hope that next year's retrospective won't feel like a reprint with new dates.Read the 5 Most Relevant Technically Speaking Columns of 2025 This is a public episode.

Kath-Akademie AKTUELL: Karl Graf Spreti Symposium Teil 2 – "Wenn Briefe Geschichte(n) erzählen - Die Briefe Karl Graf von Spretis aus Indien (1935-1938)", ein Vortrag von Dr. Jörg Zedler(Hördauer ca. 47 Min.)Auch Film ist Text. Seine narrative Organisation macht ihn zur Literatur und verbindet den Film beispielsweise mit dem Roman und dem Comic. Der Film teilt als Kunstwerk außerdem zahlreiche Charakteristika mit anderen Texttypen. Das ist Grund genug, in diesem dreifachen Podcast in Kooperation mit der Karl Graf Spreti Stiftung in der Katholischen Akademie in Bayern auf das Jahr 1935 zu blicken, in dem sich Karl Graf Spreti aus seiner Heimat Bayern auf den Weg nach Indien machte. Frisch aus dem Studium hatte er das Angebot erhalten, als Filmarchitekt bei den Bombay Talkies Studios zu arbeiten, die im Jahr zuvor von Himansu Rai, einem frühen Star des indischen Films, gegründet worden waren und die zum Vorläufer von „Bollywood“ wurden. Neben und mit Spreti wirkten dort als Pioniere des frühen indischen Films der Regisseur Franz Osten und der Kameramann Josef Wirsching. Während Spreti 1938 nach Deutschland zurückkehrte, blieb Wirsching auf dem Subkontinent und Osten kehrte immer wieder dorthin zurück. Das achte Karl Graf Spreti Symposium beleuchtet ausgewählte Aspekte ihres Schaffens und ihrer Bedeutung und ordnet diese in einen übergeordneten (kultur-)historischen Kontext ein. Dabei ist auch nach der Relevanz der Filmindustrie für die indische Gesellschaft sowie nach Stereotypen über das Land im Deutschland der 1920er und 1930er Jahre zu fragen. Diesen Part übernimmt Dr. Georg Lechner, der einen Überblick über die historische Entwicklung Indiens im 20. Jahrhundert gibt und ausführlich auf den monumentalen Stummfilm "Das indische Grabmal" von Joe May, sowie spätere Neuverfilmungen des Stoffs von Thea von Harbou, u.a. "Der Tiger von Eschnapur", eingeht. PD Jörg Zedler stellt den Bestand der Briefe Karl Graf von Spretis in den Mittelpunkt seines Vortrags; Briefe, auf die er gleichwohl eher zufällig stieß: Im Rahmen einer ganz anders gearteten Forschung, entdeckte er im Staatsarchiv Pilsen rd. 100 Schreiben, die Spreti zwischen 1935 und 1938 an seine Eltern richtete, während er als Filmarchitekt der Bombay Talkies Filmstudios in Indien weilte. Prof. Harald Fischer-Tiné, Professor für Geschichte der modernen Welt an der ETH Zürich, referiert zu den Themenbereichen Politische und soziale Umwälzungen im spätkolonialen Indien und die Entstehung von Bombays Filmindustrie (1900-1950).Die Karl Graf Spreti Stiftung wurde 2008 mit dem Ziel eingerichtet, die Außenbeziehungen Bayerns in wissenschaftlicher, künstlerischer und kultureller Hinsicht zu fördern. Sie trägt den Namen des deutschen Diplomaten bayerischer Herkunft, der in Ausübung seines Amtes 1970 in Guatemala ermordet wurde. PD Dr. Jörg Zedler ist Privatdozent für Bayerische Landesgeschichte an der Universität Regensburg. Sein Spektrum an wissenschaftlicher Forschung ist weit gefächert, reicht von der Frühen Neuzeit bis ins ausgehende 20. Jahrhundert. Seit langem beschäftigt er sich u.a. auch mit Aspekten der Adelsgeschichte. Wenn Ihnen dieser Beitrag gefallen hat, dann mögen Sie vielleicht auch diesen. Katholische Akademie in BayernKardinal Wendel HausMandlstraße 23, 80802 MünchenRealisation Uwe Kullnick

In this bonus episode of Banking on Fraudology, powered by Safeguard , Hailey Windham talks with Ben Graf, a self-taught AI expert in the neobank space. Ben embodies the spirit of curiosity and courage driving the next wave of fraud-fighting transformation.The conversation dives into what it really looks like to learn AI from the ground up, emphasizing that the future of fraud prevention isn't about replacing people, but empowering them through technology.Key Takeaways: AI, Innovation, and Fraud-Fighting EmpowermentUsing AI to Learn AI: Ben explains how he used varying LLM chats (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) as a coach or mentor, experimenting for hours to understand their capabilities, consistency, and how to effectively prompt them.This approach helped him translate technical language and practices (like data analysis, SQL, and JavaScript) into actionable knowledge for his team, breaking down communication barriers.The hardest part was knowing where to start, but the key was realizing that "something is better than nothing" and compounding knowledge quickly breaks down barriers.Practical AI Applications for Eliminating Busy Work: AI should be used to make teams more efficient and help professionals focus strategically.Automating Document Verification: AI can use OCR to pull data, flag inconsistencies, and serve up summaries for identity, business, and income documents, which are often the most time-consuming parts of a review.Data Retrieval and System Silos: AI can help team members write their own SQL queries to retrieve data from data warehouses, dramatically reducing requests to the data team.Product and Feature Proposals: AI tools can mock up full dashboard concepts and even provide code snippets to give engineers a visual and break down communication barriers between fraud and technical teams.The Power of Empowerment and Buy-In: Leadership should create a culture where fraud fighters are empowered to explore and innovate.The magic of time savings lies in filling the time freed from "busy work" (like false positives) with new, high-impact tasks, whether that's cost savings in fraud loss or better customer retention.Teams are advised to keep proprietary or PII information out of the loop and find safe spaces to explore, remembering that everyone is still figuring out what AI can do.Get in the mood of being grateful for the fraud-fighting community, and be reminded of how strong the fraud-fighting community truly is. About Hailey Windham:As a 2023 CU Rockstar Recipient, Hailey Windham, CFCS (Certified Financial Crimes Specialist) demonstrated unbounding passion for educating her community, organization and credit union membership on scams in the market and best practices to avoid them. She has implemented several programs within her previous organizations that aim at holistically learning about how to prevent and detect fraud targeted at membership and employees. Windham's initiatives to build strong relationships and partnerships throughout the credit union community and industry experts have led to countless success stories. Her applied knowledge of payments system programs combined with her experience in fraud investigations offers practical concepts that are transferable, no matter the organization's size.

Philipp Nicolai is the author and composer of what has been called the “King of Chorales” (“Wake, Awake, for Night is Flying”) and the “Queen of Chorales.” The Queen of Chorales, “How Lovely Shines the Morning Star” (TLH 343) is the hymn we are studying this week. It is an excellent hymn which teaches the love of Christ, and especially of our salvation in Him.  Nilolai's seven original German stanzas of “How Lovely Shines the Morning Star” are an acrostic tribute to his friend and former student in Waldeck. The first letters of those seven verses are W,E,G,V,H,Z,W, which stands for “Willhelm Ernst, Graf vnd Herr zu Waldeck” (William Ernest, count and lord in Waldeck). Nicolai has wonderfully captured the Christian faith in this hymn as he shows Christ's love for His Bride, the Church. He constantly makes both obvious and hidden allusions to the Lord's Supper, which is Christ's way of feeding and preserving all of us. Ultimately our greatest joy is in Christ, the First and Last, who will transport us to His happy home where we will be with Him forever in the greatest joy. Until that day, we look for His returning with deep and eager yearning.  Oh Christian, rejoice in the salvation that is yours through Christ, your Morning Star. Sing praise to your Bridegroom, who feeds and nourishes your faith through Word and Sacrament. Proclaim the His praises, this weekend and throughout your life!

In Sicherheitsfragen scheinen sich die Bürgerlichen gefunden zu haben. Sie erleichtern den Waffenexport, erschweren den Zivildienst oder halten am F-35-Kampfjet fest. Haben die Linken zu wenig für Kompromisse gekämpft? Kritische Fragen an SP-Sicherheitspolitikerin Priska Seiler Graf. Nach jahrelangem Ringen hat diese Woche der National- und der Ständerat Ja dazu gesagt, die Regeln für Schweizer Waffenexport zu lockern. Neu sollen gewisse Länder auch mit Schweizer Kriegsmaterial beliefert werden können, wenn sie sich in bewaffneten Konflikten befinden. Und neu sollen Länder Waffen, die sie in der Schweiz gekauft haben, einfacher an andere Staaten weitergeben dürfen. Ausgenommen ist vorerst aber die Ukraine – sie wird auch in Zukunft keine Schweizer Waffen einsetzen dürfen. Das ärgert vor allem die SP, die es nicht geschafft hat, mit der Mitte einen Kompromiss zu schmieden, von der auch die Ukraine hätte profitieren können. Muss sich die SP hier an der eigenen Nase nehmen? Auch bei anderen Sicherheitsfragen haben sich die Bürgerlichen gefunden. Etwa beim F-35 Kampfjet, an dem sie auch nach dem Preis-Eklat mit den USA festhalten wollen. Oder beim Zivildienst, bei dem die Bürgerlichen den Zugang erschweren wollen. Wie geht die SP mit der Rolle der Aussenseiterin um? Was für Möglichkeiten hat sie, ausser Unterschriften zu sammeln und Däumchen zu drehen? Die langjährige SP-Sicherheitspolitikerin ist Gast in der Samstagsrundschau bei Eliane Leiser.

This lecture explores the provocative question: Can magic stop wars? Drawing on historical and cross-cultural sources, we examine how rituals and spells have been used not merely as private acts of devotion but as technologies of politics, resistance, and reconciliation. From the Assyrian Maqlû tablets and Egyptian execration rites, to the Wiccan “Cone of Power” against Hitler and the modern #MagicResistance movement, we uncover how ritual has been mobilised to defend rulers, resist tyranny, and shape the course of events.The lecture also turns to reconciliation practices such as the Acholi Mato Oput in Uganda, Hawaiian ho‘oponopono, and Arab-Islamic sulha, showing how communities have ritualised the difficult work of forgiveness and the transformation of enmity. By analysing these cases, we see how ritual externalises conflict into material or symbolic form, such as burned effigies, bitter drinks, and shared meals, so that violence can be reframed, managed, or dissolved.CONNECT & SUPPORT

Sie entwirren, warum Begriffe wie Takt, Anlehnung, Losgelassenheit oder Versammlung nicht nur technische Hilfen sind, sondern Metaphern für Beziehung, Vertrauen und Wahrnehmung. Dabei verknüpfen sie philosophische, historische und ganz persönliche Erfahrungen — vom Reitplatz bis zur Kulturgeschichte. Höre zu, wie sie erklären, was der Spruch „Dein Pferd ist dein Spiegel“ wirklich bedeuten kann, wie das Reiten und der Umgang mit Pferden sich auf unsere Beziehungen zu Mitmenschen auswirken können, und wie eine bewusste Sprache im Umgang mit Pferden die Harmonie verbessern kann. Ein Gespräch geprägt von Tiefe, Sensibilität und neuen Perspektiven — nicht nur für Pferdeliebhaber.

Dychovka music is a traditional genre that has been played for centuries throughout Slovakia. In this episode, we explore the variety of styles of dychovka through through the Na Plny Dych festival in Moravske Lieskove. There, members of the band Drietomanka (a regional favorite with a rich history) talk about the origins of Slovak dychovka and show how dynamic modern dychovka can be. As well, we speak with scholar Benjamin Graf from the University of North Texas about the university's dychovka program and about their newly formed dychovka band. Mr. Graf also talks about meeting Czech dychovka musicians who showed him the musical connections between Czechia, Slovakia, and Texas.

Een onbekend lichaam in een naamloos graf in Beringen trekt de aandacht van journalist Thomas Jansen. De John Doe is een frituurovervaller die in 2002 doodgeschoten werd door de politie. Drieëntwintig jaar later weet nog steeds niémand wie die man was. In deze podcast, getiteld ‘Gangster Y', start Thomas een onderzoek om uit te klaren hoe het kan dat de overvaller nooit geïdentificeerd werd. In de eerste episode gaat hij op bezoek aan Guido en Albertine, de uitbaters van de frituur in Beringen waar de gangster werd doodgeschoten. Daar wordt meteen duidelijk dat aan deze zaak álles rammelt wat eraan zou kúnnen rammelen.

It's part 2 of our dive into the Insect Apocalypse, with our good friend Dr. Jason Dombroskie from the Cornell University Insect Collection!In this part, Jason fills us in on the drivers of the Insect Apocalypse and - most importantly - what we can do about it.This episode was recorded on August 21, 2025 at Rattlesnake Hill Wildlife Management Area in Dalton, NY.. Episode NotesDuring the episode, we made the claim that 40 million acres of the US is lawn, and that that area is equal to all of the country's National Parks put together. True? Well, sort of. The claim that the U.S. has about 40 million acres of lawn—roughly equal to all our national parks combined—is only partly true. A NASA-funded study led by Cristina Milesi estimated that turfgrass covers about 128,000 km² (≈31 million acres) of the continental U.S., making it the largest irrigated “crop” in the country (Milesi et al., Environmental Management, 2005; NASA Earth Observatory). Later analyses and popular summaries often round that up to ≈40 million acres (e.g., Scienceline, 2011; LawnStarter, 2023). By comparison, the total land area of all officially designated U.S. National Parks is about 52.4 million acres, while the entire National Park System—which also includes monuments, preserves, and historic sites—covers about 85 million acres (National Park Service, 2024). So while lawns and parks occupy areas of similar magnitude, lawns do not actually equal or exceed the combined area of the national parks. Is it better to mulch leaves on your lawn or leave them be? Here's what we found: It's generally best to mulch your leaves with a mower rather than rake or remove them. Research from Michigan State University found that mowing leaves into small pieces allows them to decompose quickly, returning nutrients to the soil and reducing weeds like dandelions and crabgrass (MSU Extension, “Don't rake leaves — mulch them into your lawn”, 2012). Cornell University studies similarly show that mulched leaves improve soil structure, moisture retention, and microbial activity (Cornell Cooperative Extension, “Leaf Mulching: A Sustainable Alternative”, 2019). However, in garden beds, wooded edges, or under shrubs, it's often better to leave leaves whole, since they provide winter habitat for butterflies, bees, and other invertebrates that overwinter in leaf litter (National Wildlife Federation, “Leave the Leaves for Wildlife”, 2020). The ideal approach is a mix: mow-mulch leaves on grassy areas for turf health and leave them intact where they naturally fall to support biodiversity and soil ecology.

Who are our 2025-26 pre-season top-10 San Jose Sharks prospects? In a throwback San Jose Hockey Now Podcast segment, it's just Sheng and Keegan together again to reveal their top-10. How much are Quentin Musty, Cam Lund, and Eric Pohlkamp trending up? Who's No. 2, Yaroslav Askarov or Sam Dickinson? Where do 2025 Draft picks Michael Misa, Josh Ravensbergen, and Haoxi (Simon) Wang rank? The general cut-off for prospects for this ranking, by the way, is 50 NHL games. Before our top-10 prospects talk, San Jose Sharks legend Dan Boyle, Sharks Ice beer league champ Zubair Jeewanjee, insider Sheng Peng, and prospects guru Keegan McNally discuss all the hot Sharks training camp topics. 18-year NHL veteran Boyle weighs in on the idea of a fourth-liner like Barclay Goodrow being named Sharks captain. We discuss Jack Thompson perhaps being at a crossroads in his Sharks' career. From Misa to Will Smith to Alex Nedeljkovic to Philipp Kurashev, who impressed in the Sharks' pre-season debut?
