[Urdu Subtitles are available] There is often an idealism associated with space. However, space agencies and space companies, from the beginning have been engaged in dual-use technology - the same technology that can be used for going into space, is also used for war here on Earth. This has been true for the ongoing war in Gaza as well. Our guest today, Sahba El-Shawa, argues that we need to separate these two out and preserve the idealism of space exploration for the benefit of humanity. Sahba El-Shawa is a Jordanian-Canadian interdisciplinary researcher and social entrepreneur originally from Palestine. She is the Founder of the Jordan Space Research Initiative, which aims to bridge sustainable development with space exploration and establish an analog research facility in Jordan.Sahba holds a BASc in Mechanical Engineering from the University of British Columbia, an MSc in Space Studies from the International Space University, and is now pursuing her PhD in Sustainable Development and Climate Change at IUSS Pavia in Italy. Her PhD research centers around the neuropsychological basis of the Overview Effect, and how making it more accessible using Virtual Reality can help drive sustainable behaviour on Earth.You can find her article, A Palestinian Perspective on Space, Ethics, and Human Rights, here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/ethics-human-rights-space-palestinian-perspective-sahba-el-shawa-ekamf/For more information about Kainaat Studios:https://www.kainaatstudios.comHost: Salman Hameed has a PhD in astronomy and is Charles Taylor Chair of Integrated Science & Humanities at Hampshire College and a member of the Five College Astronomy Department (FCAD) in Massachusetts, USA.

Podcast, recorded live during the IIRP Collaborative Center for Restorative Practices in Higher Education's virtual forum on December 5-6, 2024! Robert and Nicole share their personal journeys with restorative practices, highlighting how they've integrated restorative justice and community-building principles into their respective campuses. From fostering inclusive, intersectional spaces at Hampshire College to reshaping student conduct processes at the University of Maryland, both guests emphasize the importance of embracing values rooted in restorative practices as a holistic approach to community engagement and institutional change. Throughout the discussion, the guests reflect on the recent sessions at the forum that resonated most with their work. Nicole focuses on the importance of honoring restorative practices' indigenous roots and the ethical responsibility practitioners have in upholding its traditions. Meanwhile, Robert underscores the necessity of community-building across cultural lines and the role of restorative principles in transforming campus cultures. Both emphasize that restorative practices are not just tools or methodologies but a way of being that shapes how we interact and move through the world. Nicole Garcia Diaz is the restorative justice specialist and manager for Rights and Responsibilities at the University of Maryland, College Park where she has led the integration of restorative practices and restorative justice within the university.

Dr. James Miller has a longtime interest in media technology, and this led him to the historical study of the automobile as an under-appreciated site of media consumption. From there, the highly digitalized modern race car presented itself as a possible precursor of future mobility. This was also an excuse to intellectualize the pleasure of motorsports, which has resulted in a connection with the IMRRC and membership in the International Motor Press Association. Miller is professor emeritus of communications at Hampshire College, a former member of the graduate faculty at UMass Amherst and a member of the Porsche Club of America. Formula One raced at Watkins Glen for 20 years, 1961-1980. This was a still early time in post-war F1, when nearly everything was smaller scale, sponsorship was just beginning, a DIY ethos ruled the paddock and US media attention was limited. Yet these 20 years mark a crucial midway point between the Glen's original road racing and the modern, corporatized F1 that has now developed into a global media spectacle. To mark 75 years of Watkins Glen motorsports, this presentation offers a sketch of this distinctive time and place, with emphasis on the local community engagement that made those glorious 20 years of F1 possible. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Introduction and Sponsors 00:58 The Early Days of Formula One at Watkins Glen 01:48 Community Involvement and Economic Impact 02:41 Historical Study and Key Observations 05:33 The Circus Era: A Cultural Context 07:57 Watkins Glen: A Unique Racing Venue 08:57 The Founders and Key Figures 11:11 The Teams and Their Principals 12:41 Challenges and Triumphs of Team Ownership 14:00 Jackie Stewart: A Champion's Journey 14:55 The Unsung Heroes: F1 Mechanics 15:52 Watkins Glen: A Beloved Racing Venue 17:08 Local Involvement and Community Spirit 18:05 The Watkins Glen Effect and Future of Racing 18:59 Preserving Racing Heritage 20:33 The Impact of Bernie Ecclestone 21:39 Summer Jam and Music Festivals 23:23 Conclusion and Reflections ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: https://www.motoringpodcast.net/ Become a VIP at: https://www.patreon.com/ Online Magazine: https://www.gtmotorsports.org/ This episode is part of our HISTORY OF MOTORSPORTS SERIES and is sponsored in part by: The International Motor Racing Research Center (IMRRC), The Society of Automotive Historians (SAH), The Watkins Glen Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Argetsinger Family - and was recorded in front of a live studio audience.
Preaching for the 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Jen Frazer offers a reflection on the offerings and sacrifices of the two widows in today's readings: "In the end what meaning should we take away from these readings? It is the very generosity of our two widows (in the first reading and in the Gospel) that highlights their social oppression. Even if the sacrifice is unjust, God who knows our hearts, honors that sacrifice as the act of love that it is. God is on the side of the oppressed because they are in need of God's protection. Both are true. Sic et non." Jen is an Erie Benedictine sister, currently living in Erie, Pennsylvania. There Jen shares time with some of the terrific people of L'Arche as her full-time gig, and for fun teaches a couple of classes at Mercyhurst, a local Catholic college. Jen has a couple of graduate theology degrees from Boston College, and a degree in studio art from Hampshire College.

In this episode, Lisa and Sam discuss:How Jewish students can find the right college fit and connect with Jewish life on campus.The different levels of Jewish community engagement exist on campuses.Encouraging your teen to understand what is important and truly matters to them around their faith and practices. Using resources like Hillel International to uncover key strategies to help your teen find a supportive community and thrive academically and socially.Key Takeaways: Many students can and should be prepared that their relationship to their faith may change in their life. 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.

118 is here! Kimberly DuVall is the Visionary, Founder, and Executive Director of Fostering Connections. Born from her own experience as a foster/adoptive mom, she knows how challenging and lonely the journey of a caregiver can be. It is vital to know you are not on the journey alone and it is a blessing when others support you with tangible goods, emotional support, prayer, and trauma-informed resources. She believes that when caregivers feel loved and supported, the ripple effect goes straight to the kids. Kim dives deep into her passion and educated me on so many facets of trauma informed parenting. Kimberly received her Bachelor of Arts in Cultural Anthropology from Hampshire College and a Master of Education in Multicultural Education from Eastern University.

Summary**Tensor Poster - If you are interested in the Breaking Math Tensor Poster on the mathematics of General Relativity, email us at BreakingMathPodcast@gmail.comIn this episode, Gabriel Hesch and Autumn Fanoff interview Steve Nadis, the author of the book 'The Gravity of Math.' They discuss the mathematics of gravity, including the work of Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein, gravitational waves, black holes, and recent developments in the field. Nadis shares his collaboration with Shing-Tung Yau and their journey in writing the book. They also talk about their shared experience at Hampshire College and the importance of independent thinking in education. In this conversation, Steve Nadis discusses the mathematical foundations of general relativity and the contributions of mathematicians to the theory. He explains how Einstein was introduced to the concept of gravity by Bernhard Riemann and learned about tensor calculus from Gregorio Ricci and Tullio Levi-Civita. Nadis also explores Einstein's discovery of the equivalence principle and his realization that a theory of gravity would require accelerated motion. He describes the development of the equations of general relativity and their significance in understanding the curvature of spacetime. Nadis highlights the ongoing research in general relativity, including the detection of gravitational waves and the exploration of higher dimensions and black holes. He also discusses the contributions of mathematician Emmy Noether to the conservation laws in physics. Finally, Nadis explains Einstein's cosmological constant and its connection to dark energy.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Book Overview08:09 Collaboration and Writing Process25:48 Interest in Black Holes and Recent Developments35:30 The Mathematical Foundations of General Relativity44:55 The Curvature of Spacetime and the Equations of General Relativity56:06 Recent Discoveries in General Relativity01:06:46 Emmy Noether's Contributions to Conservation Laws01:13:48 Einstein's Cosmological Constant and Dark Energy

It's an EmMajority Report Thursday (of a whole week of EmMajority Reports!)! She speaks with Mark Joseph Stern, senior writer at Slate, to discuss the recent developments of the Supreme Court term. Then, she speaks with Michael Klare, professor of emeritus of peace and world security studies at Hampshire College, to discuss his recent piece in The Nation entitled "Surviving an Era of Pervasive Nuclear Instability." First, Emma runs through updates on the US defense of Israel's occupation of Palestine in front of the ICJ, the growing death toll in Gaza and its astounding projections, Ro Khana's visit to Michigan, Biden's Trumpian executive action on immigration, fascism in Texas, Alabama, and Oklahoma, child labor in the US, and US environmental policy, before diving into updates on the GOP's impeachment scam (the one against Biden, more specifically). Mark Joseph Stern then joins, diving right into McElrath v. Georgia, a unanimous decision by Justice Kentanji Brown Jackson, exploring the case's basis in attempting to retry an acquitted man in obvious violation of double jeopardy and looking at how KBJ's history as a public defender played into her decision. He also tackles a case against a Virginia magnet school's attempt to incorporate success in underperforming schools into their otherwise race-blind admissions, and Samuel Alito's attempt to defend anti-gay bigots' right to discriminate as jurors, before wrapping up with SCOTUS' likely decision on the Clean Air Act's Good Neighbor clause, and the devastating impact it could have on the EPA and Ozone regulation. Professor Michael Klare then walks Emma through the recent emergence of China as a nuclear superpower on the global stage, looking at the role of US military expansion in the Indo-Pacific and contentious support for Taiwan in pushing Chinese nuclear expansion. Next, Professor Klare walks through each of the major nuclear flashpoints right now, including Russian-Nato tensions, Taiwan, and the South China Sea, before diving into the status of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's nuclear arsenal, and the precarious nuclear relationship between India and Pakistan. After touching on the US' potential role in providing nuclear capacities to Saudi Arabia, alongside a broader assessment of nuclear munitions across the globe, Klare explores what to do to make people care about the nuclear threat again. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as they discuss the intricacies of Madame Web, watch Nancy Pelosi actively affirm Israel's right to continue the slaughter of Gaza and deny US complicity, while Israel's Chief Pink Washer celebrates the genocide at a Knesset hearing. Bret Weinstein and Joe Rogan posit their bold theory that AIDS is actually caused more by lifestyle decisions than HIV, plus, your calls and IMs!

Born in South Korea, he came to the United States to study film, only to find himself pulled into the spiritual life. Educated at UC Berkeley, Harvard, and Princeton, he received formal monastic training in Korea and taught Buddhism at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts. He lives in Seoul when not traveling to share his teachings. Our conversation covers a wide range of topics, from the therapeutic power of journaling to the subtle differences between contentment and happiness. Haemin shares his personal journey of facing fears head-on and finding peace in the present moment. His insights are not just philosophical musings but practical advice that can be seamlessly integrated into daily life. Through our dialogue, we uncover the layers of wisdom hidden in everyday experiences and discuss how to embrace life's imperfections gracefully. Key Discussion Points The importance of talking to one's fears to understand and overcome them. Differentiating contentment from happiness: finding peace in acceptance. The therapeutic benefits of journaling for uncovering and facing fears. Embracing the present moment to find joy in everyday experiences. The distinction between a "doing-centered" life and a "being-centered" life. The significance of self-worth and appreciating the inherent value of life. Facing and accepting uncomfortable emotions for personal growth and insight. My conversation with Haemin Sunim offers a refreshing perspective on life's challenges and the pursuit of happiness. His wisdom encourages us to slow down, appreciate the present, and find contentment in the simplicity of being. Whether you're facing difficult times or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself and the world around you, Haemin's insights provide a valuable guide for navigating life with grace and mindfulness.
