William & Lonsdale: Lives in the Law

This week, we revisit our 2022 conversation with Jim Cosgriff, founder and partner at Cosgriff Lawyers in Echuca, country Victoria. Jim's Life in the Law began as a boy, sitting in the back of country courtrooms watching his dad, Magistrate Bryan Cosgriff, in action. After high school, Jim moved to the big smoke to study law and went on to become a partner at William, Winter & Higgs, working in a wide variety of areas including crimes compensation and on behalf of victims of clergy abuse. But the pull of the country was too strong for Jim, and eventually he had to get out of the city, taking over a firm in Echuca over 25 years ago, and he hasn't looked back.www.greenslist.com.au/podcast

Waar is alle materie uit opgebouwd, en welke wetten volgen die deeltjes om alles op aarde en de rest van het heelal vorm te geven? Wat is antimaterie, en wat heeft quantumtheorie daarmee te maken? In Reis naar de kern neemt Ivo van Vulpen, deeltjesonderzoeker bij CERN in Genève en verbonden aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam, je mee langs al deze grote vragen. Je denkt misschien dat dat ver van je normale belevingswereld afstaat, maar al deze inzichten worden dagelijks gebruikt. Van de GPS op je telefoon, tot de scanners in ziekenhuizen.. Over Reis naar de Kern Na Terug naar de Oerknal met Govert Schilling en Baan door het Brein met Iris Sommer is het nu tijd voor een nieuw avontuur: Reis naar de kern. Een fascinerende duik in de wereld van de allerkleinste deeltjes, waar de allergrootste vragen worden beantwoord. In vijf afleveringen zoomen we in op de wereld van het atoom, de quantummechanica, antimaterie en de ontdekking van het Higgs Boson. Reis naar de Kern is een podcast van BNR. Tekst en presentatie: Ivo van Vulpen. Concept: Connor Clerx. Eindredactie: Annick van der Leeuw. Montage: Gijs Friesen en Connor Clerx. Sounddesign en mixage: Gijs Friesen. Over Ivo Ivo van Vulpen is als deeltjesfysicus werkzaam aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam, het Nationaal Instituut voor subatomaire fysica (Nikhef) en hij doet onderzoek bij de deeltjesversneller (Large Hadron Collider) bij CERN in Genève. Hij is hoogleraar Wetenschapscommunicatie, in het bijzonder betreffende de natuurkunde, aan de Universiteit Leiden. In 2018 verscheen zijn eerste boek: De melodie van de natuur. Transcript aflevering Je kunt prima honderd jaar oud worden en onbevangen door het leven stappen zonder je ooit af te vragen hoe je eigenlijk elektriciteit maakt, waarom glas wel doorzichtig is en steen niet, hoe de zon aan haar energie komt of hoe het überhaupt mogelijk is dat er zoiets bestaat als een heelal. Maar als je die vraag eenmaal hebt gesteld en op zoek gaat naar het antwoord blijkt er bijna altijd een fascinerende wereld achter schuil te gaan. Al die kennis over hoe de natuur zich gedraagt hebben we als mensheid in de geschiedenis stukje bij beetje verzameld. Hoewel deze zoektocht wordt gedreven door pure nieuwsgierigheid, hebben de meeste nieuwe inzichten en de nieuwe technieken die ontwikkeld moesten worden om het antwoord te vinden ook steeds weer hun weg gevonden naar ons dagelijks leven. Sterker nog, ze vormen zonder dat veel mensen dat beseffen, de basis van onze moderne maatschappij: zonder relativiteitstheorie geen GPS, zonder quantummechania geen computerchip, zonder anti-materie geen PET scan om tumoren te localiseren … en zonder deeltjesversnellers geen manier om kwaadaardige tumoren te bestralen. Het zoeken naar antwoorden op deze grote ‘waarom-vragen’ is absoluut niet makkelijk. De natuur geeft haar geheimen namelijk niet zomaar prijs en het heeft generaties wetenschappers enorm veel bloed, zweet en tranen gekost om de natuur haar geheimen te ontfutselen. Dat doen we door haar gedrag in detail te bestuderen, patronen te herkennen en zo stap voor stap door te dringen tot de plek waar het antwoord verborgen ligt. Die onbedwingbare drang om steeds weer grenzen te verleggen is een menselijke eigenschap die we heel goed kennen uit de sport en van ontdekkingsreizigers uit een ver verleden. En hoewel het vaak de woorden ‘groter’, ‘hoger’ en ‘sneller’ zijn die we associëren met vooruitgang is er ook een groep wetenschappers die juist de uitdaging zoekt in precies het tegenovergestelde: ‘klein, kleiner, kleinst’. Het is een internationale groep wetenschappers, waar ik er ook een van ben, die in onderzoeksinstituten en laboratoria over de hele wereld op zoek zijn naar de elementaire bouwstenen van de natuur. Waar is alle materie toch uit opgebouwd? En welke wetten volgen die deeltjes om alles op aarde en de rest van het heelal vorm te geven? Deze fascinerende zoektocht naar de fundamenten van de natuur is het onderwerp van deze podcast. Ik ben Ivo van Vulpen, een Nederlandse deeltjesonderzoeker verbonden aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam en het onderzoeksinstituut Nikhef. In de eerste vier afleveringen ben ik je gids op weg naar het randje van de kennis en vertel ik je hoe het ons in de afgelopen honderd jaar gelukt is om steeds weer een diepere laag bloot te leggen; in een wereld die letterlijk heel dichtbij is, maar die zo klein is dat we het niet met onze ogen kunnen zien. Ik vertel over de fascinerende ontdekkingen die we gedaan hebben. Ik ga bijvoorbeeld vertellen dat net zoals kinderen met een paar legoblokjes de meest fantastische bouwwerken kunnen maken, ook de natuur, met al haar complexiteit, van sterren en planeten, tot en met de microfoon waar ik nu in praat ook is opgebouwd uit maar een handjevol bouwstenen. In de vijfde en laatste aflevering vertel ik wat er nog te ontdekken is. En hoe we van plan zijn die antwoorden te vinden. Deze tak van de wetenschap staat ver af van het clichébeeld dat mensen vaak hebben van onderzoekers als wereldvreemde zonderlingen in een stoffig laboratorium. Het is een wereldwijde onderneming waarin wetenschappers uit bijna alle landen van de wereld samenwerken, samen moeten werken in grote experimentele onderzoekscentra zoals het Europees centrum voor deeltjesfysica, CERN in Genève. Zulke samenwerkingsverbanden zijn verre van triviaal. Natuurkundigen kunnen enorm eigenwijs zijn en om dan ook nog eens natuurkundigen uit verschillende landen met elkaar samen te laten werken is op het eerste gezicht een ideaal scenario voor problemen. En toch lukt het ons. Maar hoe dan? Uiteindelijk blijkt de sleutel te liggen in het feit dat we een gedeelde droom hebben. We delen die universele en on-be-dwing-bare nieuwsgierigheid, die honger naar antwoorden op de mysteries die we niet begrijpen. Vanuit Nederland doen veel universiteiten mee in dit avontuur en er is zelfs een nationaal instituut: het Nikhef, het Nationaal instituut voor subatomaire fysica in Amsterdam. Maar laten we niet langer om de materie heen draaien en de diepte in duiken. Om achter de natuurwetten te komen is er maar één mogelijkheid: je moet je de natuur ‘ondervragen’. De natuur praat natuurlijk niet letterlijk terug, maar je kunt wel dingen uitproberen en kijken wat er gebeurt. Kinderen doen dat automatisch. “Hoe reageren mijn ouders als ik heel hard ga gillen in een supermarkt en doet het echt pijn als ik mijn vinger in de vlam hou?”. Hoewel ik uit eigen ervaring kan vertellen dat ouders niet altijd hetzelfde reageren, werkt de natuur volgens ijzeren principes en altijd hetzelfde: de natuurwetten. Door patronen te ontdekken in gedrag dringen door tot de onderliggende mechanismes. En dat werkt net zo goed bij menselijk gedrag als bij de wereld van het allerkleinste. Grenzen verleggen is niet makkelijk en het is goed om voor we in de wereld van het allerkleinste duiken eerst te laten zien hoe ingewikkeld het is om patronen te vinden en welke interessante gevolgen het kan hebben als het je lukt om een onderliggend mechanisme bloot te leggen. Eerst over het proces van patronen herkennen. Stel je nou eens voor dat je een buitenaards wezen bent dat naar onze planeet komt en dat je gevraagd wordt om de spelregels van het spel voetbal te achterhalen. Er is wel een eis die je taak extra lastig maakt: je mag zoveel wedstrijden bekijken als je wilt, maar je mag niemand iets vragen. Je komt er dan vast vrij snel achter dat het spel zich afspeelt binnen de witte lijnen van een rechthoek, dat er twee teams zijn van 11 spelers, dat er na 45 min gewisseld wordt van speelhelft en dat het doel is om zoveel mogelijk doelpunten te maken. Maar waarom heeft één speler een andere kleur dan zijn teamgenoten en mag hij de bal wél in zijn handen pakken? En hoe kom je erachter wie die twee mensen zijn die langs de lijn met een vlag heen en weer rennen en zul je ooit de regels van buitenspel ontdekken? Dat kán wel, maar is niet gemakkelijk. Precies zo werkt het ook met het ondervragen en bekijken van de natuur. Niemand zegt hierbij trouwens dat de spelregels logisch moeten zijn. Sterker nog, de natuurwetten zijn niet logisch. Geen enkele. De quantummechanica en de relativiteitstheorie, die we later tegen zullen komen, zijn vreemd en bizar en daarmee in zekere zin analoog aan de buitenspelregel in het voetbal. Absurd, maar wel een realiteit. En als je die regel eenmaal geaccepteerd hebt is het daarna logisch wat je ziet gebeuren. Het zoeken naar en herkennen van patronen is niet alleen aan wetenschappers voorbehouden natuurlijk. Biologen en boeren weten bijvoorbeeld al heel lang dat eigenschappen van dieren en organismes worden doorgegeven aan nakomelingen. Een bekend voorbeeld is bijvoorbeeld het gegeven dat de oogkleur van een kind bepaald wordt door de oogkleur van de ouders. Deze kennis over het overerven van eigenschappen wordt ook in de landbouw gebruikt bij het veredelen van gewassen en selecteren van bepaalde eigenschappen zoals resistentie voor ziektes of aanpassen aan specifieke omstandigheden als droogte of zout. We zien dus dat de natuur op een bepaalde manier werkt, maar niet hoe het werkt. Ergens in elk mens is dus blijkbaar informatie over de oogkleur opgeslagen, maar waar dan? Uiteindelijk is het pas in de jaren zestig van de vorige eeuw gelukt die vraag te beantwoorden toen wetenschappers Crick, Watson en Franklin (die laatste wordt helaas vaak, al dan niet per ongeluk, vergeten in de rij van ontdekkers) erin slaagden de dubbele helixstructuur van het menselijk DNA te ontdekken. Daar bleek alle genetische informatie opgeslagen te zijn en bracht ons naar het hoe en waarom. Die genetische informatie blijkt opgeschreven in een taal die maar uit vier bouwstenen bestaat, de nucleotides C, T, G en A. Een taal met maar vier letters dus! Ongelooflijk, als je bedenkt dat we in onze eigen taal 26 letters hebben als bouwstenen van woorden. Als mensheid zijn we druk bezig die taal van het DNA te verkennen. We leren zo niet alleen waar informatie verborgen over de oogkleur, maar ook over aanleg voor specifieke ziektes, en kunnen dat hopelijk ook weer gebruiken om die te voorspellen en te voorkomen. Deze succesverhalen zijn mooi, maar het is goed om te beseffen dat de wetenschap vaak een verhaal is van enorm veel frustratie, van verkeerde paden inslaan en hopeloos verdwalen. Maar af en toe lukt het om ineens een stap te maken. Door een briljant inzicht van een individuele wetenschapper die ineens op een helder moment als eerste het patroon doorziet, of door een nieuwe techniek die een nieuwe wereld blootlegt. De ruimte voor wetenschappers om af en toe een zijpad in te slaan om een gek ideeën na te jagen is een cruciaal element van onderzoek doen. Als er nooit een vreemde snuiter was gaan experimenteren met elektriciteit hadden we nu nog steeds alleen maar kaarsen gehad in plaats van elektrische lampen. Hetzelfde geldt voor LED lampen natuurlijk, maar ook in de medische wereld zijn voorbeelden te vinden zoals de ontdekking van penicilline. In het dagelijks leven gebruiken we onze ogen, neus, oren, mond en handen om de wereld om ons heen waar te nemen. Ontzettend handig, maar hoe goed onze zintuigen ook zijn, ze zijn niet perfect. We weten bijvoorbeeld dat er toonhoogtes zijn die ons oor niet kan opvangen maar die honden prima kunnen horen. Dat betekent dus dat er dus wel eens een fantastische wereld vol schitterende muziek en geluiden om ons heen zou kunnen zweven die voor ons verborgen blijft omdat ons lichaam simpelweg tekortschiet. Hetzelfde geldt voor licht. Ook daarvan weten we dat er kleuren zijn die wij als mens niet kunnen zien. Zo kunnen bijen ultraviolet licht zien die zorgt dat ze makkelijk bloemen kunnen vinden. Maar hoewel ons lichaam soms tekortschiet, zijn we als mensen wel enorm inventief. We hebben manieren gevonden om deze verborgen werelden hoorbaar en zichtbaar te maken er zo in rond te lopen. Dat geldt ook voor de wereld van het allerkleinste. Elke ontdekkingstocht staat of valt met de juiste uitrusting. Als je naar de Noordpool wilt heb je meer aan warme kleren en een slee met honden dan aan een pak van Hugo Boss en een BWM. En wil je naar Mars, dan heb je een raket nodig. En bij onze reis, het afdalen in de wereld die nog kleiner is dan het DNA, heb je een deeltjesversneller nodig. Al lang geleden ontdekten mensen dat je door een ingenieuze combinatie van lenzen objecten die ver weg waren ‘dichterbij’ kon halen: de telescoop. Toepassingen te over, van scheepsvaart, oorlog, en het bestuderen van wilde dieren tot de astronomie zoals bijvoorbeeld de ontdekking van de ringen van Saturnus door onze eigen Christiaan Huygens. Maar ook ‘de andere kant op kijken’ lukte: de microscoop. We kennen allemaal het beroemde voorbeeld van Antoni van Leeuwenhoek die de wereld van bacteriën ontdekte. En hoewel mensen in de eeuwen erna steeds betere lenzen leerden maken, weten we dat je met een microscoop nooit objecten zult kunnen bekijken die kleiner zijn dan ongeveer een miljoenste meter. Dat is een factor duizend kleiner dan een potloodstreep en zo klein dat we er ons niets meer bij voor kunnen voorstellen, maar de vraag was waarom een microscoop dan niet meer werkt? Als mens zien we dingen omdat licht afketst van voorwerpen en in onze ogen terechtkomt. Nou ketst licht alleen af van voorwerpen die groter zijn dan het licht zelf (dat is een natuurkunde-feitje dat u even van me aan moet nemen), en omdat het licht dat we met onze ogen kunnen registreren ongeveer een miljoenste meter is betekent dat die afmeting het kleinst is dat we kunnen zien. Een fundamentele horde dus, maar gelukkig betekent dat niet dat je bij de pakken neer moet gaan zitten. Het betekent alleen dat je met de technieken die je op dat moment hebt, niet vastloopt. Je moet dus iets slims bedenken. Iets nieuws. Net zoals je bij een ontdekkingstocht een boot nodig hebt als je bij een rivier komt of een ladder als je over een muur heen moet klimmen. En dat is gelukt. De truc is ‘om te kijken zonder je ogen te gebruiken’. Ook met je ogen dicht kun je nog prima het verschil voelen tussen een mes en een vork en in de wetenschap hebben we een soortgelijke methode ontwikkeld om objecten af te tasten. We gebruiken daarbij alleen niet onze vingers, maar gebruiken kleine knikkers (kleine deeltjes eigenlijk) die we op het voorwerp afschieten om vervolgens te kijken hoe deze knikkers afketsen. De manier waarop dat gebeurt vertelt ons namelijk iets over de vorm en eigenschappen van een voorwerp. Dat knikkers anders afketsen van een basketbal dan van een fiets zal duidelijk zijn, maar als je alleen de afgeketste knikkers zou mogen bekijken kunt je je voorstellen dat het heel lastig is om te achterhalen dat het een fiets was waar de knikkers vanaf zijn geketst in plaats van een bureaustoel. Laat staan dat we kunnen herkennen of het een oma-fiets of een racefiets was. Maar het kan wel. Lastig. HEEL lastig! Maar niet onmogelijk. En dat is precies wat we doen als deeltjesfysici. Die knikkers zijn daarmee de vingers waarmee we de wereld aftasten. Ik gebruik hier voor het gemak het beeld van knikkertjes omdat we dat allemaal herkennen, maar eigenlijk zijn het kleine deeltjes. Hoe kleiner die knikkertjes zijn, hoe kleiner de structuren waar ze van afketsen en hoe kleiner de details zijn die we kunnen waarnemen. Een van de gekke dingen die we ontdekt hebben is dat hoe harder een knikkertje of deeltje beweegt, hoe kleiner die wordt. En dat is dan ook de belangrijkste taak van een deeltjesversneller: kleine deeltjes maken. Het sterkste vergrootglas dat we hebben op de wereld is dan ook de grote deeltjesversneller in Genève, de Large Hadron Collider. Daarmee kunnen we structuren van een miljoenste van een miljoenste van een miljardste meter bekijken. Dat is weer zo’n getal waarvan het moeilijk is een idee te vormen, maar laat ik proberen je een idee te geven van hoe klein dat is. We kennen vast allemaal maanzaad dat soms op witte bolletjes zit en we hebben allemaal weleens een dag doorgebracht in een bloedhete auto op weg naar onze vakantiebestemming in Frankrijk. Stel nou eens dat je heel Frankrijk bedekt met maanzaad, dus van Lille tot de Pyreneeën en van Nice tot Quiberon. Eén zo’n maanzaadje ten opzichte van de oppervlakte van Frankrijk is dezelfde fractie als het kleinste brokstukje dat we kunnen bestuderen tot een meter. Waanzinnig! Naast de materie aftasten heeft een deeltjesversneller nog een tweede feature. Het blijkt namelijk dat je in een deeltjesversneller de energie van de botsende deeltjes kunt gebruiken om ook zelf nieuwe deeltjes te maken. Natuurlijk moeten we al die afgeketste kogeltjes en nieuwe deeltjes ook kunnen opvangen en dat doen we met behulp van deeltjesdetectoren. Dat zijn een soort grote fotocamera’s die ook, zo zullen we zien, in ziekenhuizen gebruikt worden. Daar ga ik in de volgende aflevering meer over vertellen. Overal op de wereld zijn internationale samenwerkingsverbanden op zoek naar antwoorden op de grote onbegrepen vragen uit de natuur. Dat doen ze niet alleen met behulp van de deeltjesversneller op CERN in Genève, maar ik heb ook collega’s die met behulp van een vat vloeibaar gas (Xenon voor de liefhebbers) onder een berg in Italië op zoek zijn naar donkere materie en weer andere collega’s die een fototoestel zo groot als een kubieke kilometer aan het bouwen zijn op de bodem van de Middellandse Zee om te zoeken naar zogenaamde neutrino’s die vanuit het heelal komen en dwars door de aarde vliegen. Bij veel van die onderzoeken spelen Nederlandse onderzoekers een belangrijke rol. Onderdeel van die groep nieuwsgierige natuurkundigen die af en toe ineens linksaf slaan terwijl iedereen rechtdoor loopt. Dromers en avonturiers. Ik ga je in de komende afleveringen meenemen op onze ontdekkingstocht. In de volgende aflevering leren we de wereld van het atoom kennen via de quantummechanica, de atoomkrachten en het besef dat alles op aarde maar uit drie stukjes blijkt te zijn opgebouwd. In de afleveringen daarna hebben we het over het beroemde Standaard Model, exotische zaken als anti-materie en kernkrachten en het dagelijks leven op CERN. En natuurlijk komt ook de ontdekking van het Higgs boson voorbij, een ontdekking die een paar jaar geleden de Nobelprijs heeft gekregen en waar ik en mijn collega’s enorm trots op zijn. En als ik mijn werk een beetje goed doe, dan vind jij het aan het eind van aflevering vier ook volkomen terecht. Zoals beloofd probeer ik ook om bij elke nieuwe stap verder de diepte in (de stap naar nog kleinere structuren van de materie) te laten zien op welke manier de kennis weer in ons dagelijks leven terugkomt. En we sluiten de serie af met de grote open vragen, de mysteries, de vragen waar nog geen antwoord op is. De mysteries waar we als natuurkundigen van wakker liggen. En waar een antwoord op moet zijn. Maar waar dan? De natuurkunde is niet klaar. Kortom: avontuur!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Arrinconar" al bosón de Higgs, ha sido uno de los retos científicos de la argentina María Teresa Dova. También ha inspirado a numerosos científicos en América Latina y colaborado a que Chile y Brasil sean ahora miembros del proyecto del Gran Colisionador de Hadrones del CERN, esperando que un día Argentina también forme parte de este gran proyecto científico consagrado a la física de partículas. La profesora Dova es ganadora del prestigioso premio L'Oréal UNESCO 2025 For Women in Science para la región de América Latina y del Caribe. Por Ivonne Sánchez  Maria Teresa Dova es profesora del Departamento de Física de la Facultad de Ciencias Exactas de la Universidad Nacional de la Plata y miembro del Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Tecnológicas  (CONICET), en  La Plata, Argentina. Su campo de estudio, la física de partículas o de altas energías, llamada así ya que se requieren altas energías para observar lo más pequeño, el universo subatómico. El Bosón de Higgs Un momento cumbre de su carrera es sin lugar a dudas en 2012, cuando al fin se confirmó la existencia del escurridizo Bosón de Higgs, una partícula fundamental para comprender de qué está hecha la materia. Este hallazgo fue posible gracias al Gran Colisionador de Hadrones del CERN,  construído cien metros bajo tierra en Ginebra, Suiza y a sus detectores, actualmente ocho, algunos de gran tamaño: ATLAS, CMS, TOTEM, LHCb, ALICE, LHCf, MoEDAL y FASER. La profesora Dova trabajó sobre todo en el experimento ATLAS.  La fundación L'Oréal UNESCO declaró que la profesora Dova ha sido galardonada con este premio por "transformar radicalmente la comprensión de la física de altas energías, en particular mediante el descubrimiento y la caracterización del bosón de Higgs, así como la exploración de nuevos fenómenos físicos y el estudio de los rayos cósmicos. Su liderazgo y excepcional dedicación a la tutoría de jóvenes científicos han inspirado a una nueva generación, contribuyendo a hacer de Argentina un actor principal en la física experimental de partículas a escala mundial". En la sede de la Unesco, RFI pudo conversar con la científica argentina, ella nos habla en términos sencillos sobre la "infancia" del Universo, escuche aquí la entrevista completa: For Women in Science 2025 Cada año, la fundación L'Oréal UNESCO reconoce a cinco mujeres que han sobresalido en la ciencia. Este año, las galardonadas son: Xiaoyun Wang (Asia y Pacífico), Claudia Felser (Europa), Priscilla Baker (Africa y Estados Arabes), María Teresa Dova (América Latina y el Caribe), y Barbara Finlayson-Pitts (América del Norte).  María Teresa Dova se ha dedicado también a la divulgación, en esta charla TEDx del 2013, explica la importancia del descubrimiento del Bosón de Higgs: Leer tambiénNobel de Física: ¡los neutrinos tienen masa y cambian de identidad!

Investigative journalists Mandy Matney and Liz Farrell encountered something new on the JP Miller beat over the past week and it might just be his villain origin story. Myrtle Beach churchy-business bro “Pastor” John-Paul Miller — who stands accused of stalking and harassing his estranged wife Mica Francis and allegedly contributing to her death in April 2024 — got married this past weekend to his rumored longtime paramour Suzie Skinner — the widow of a quadriplegic man who was found dead at the bottom of his community pool in September 2021 (two weeks after he allegedly told JP to stay away from his wife and kids). The beach wedding appeared to be hastily pulled together and none of their combined seven children were seen at the wedding, according to sources. The big question everyone has on their minds after Sunday's nuptials: What are these two up to? Also on the show Mandy and Liz share more recordings in the Scott Spivey case (aka the Horry County Police Department corruption case). Turns out North Myrtle Beach businessman Weldon Boyd got even more help from police officers after he and his friend Bradley Williams shot and killed Scott on Sept. 9, 2023. LUNASHARK reporter and researcher Beth Braden discovered that about an hour after Scott was killed, HCPD Officer Kerry Higgs advised Weldon to stop talking because he might have to walk his story back later. Higgs told Weldon to wait for detectives to get to the scene because they would give him the timeline and chronology of events (presumably so Weldon could shape his narrative around it).  Meanwhile a detective with HCPD — the one who interviewed the only witness to see what Scott did (didn't do) in the very last moments of his life — filed a report mixing up the order of events in a way that only served to help corroborate Weldon's account … directly contradicting the witness' 911 call and his video interview.  Plus, we'll give an update on surprising news out of Houston, TX connected to the (2:32) Christa Bauer Gilley case. Let's dive in!

Hablamos de: – ¿Qué son realmente las experiencias cercanas a la muerte? – ¿Puede la neurociencia explicar lo que sentimos al morir? – ¿Dónde termina la ciencia y empieza lo que llamamos pseudociencia? – El futuro de la investigación sobre la mente y la conciencia. Si alguna vez te preguntaste qué hay más allá de la muerte o si la conciencia puede ir más allá del cerebro, este episodio te va a fascinar. ¡No olvides suscribirte, dejar tus comentarios y compartir tus propias reflexiones sobre este apasionante tema!

In this special live episode of Owl Have You Know, James Weston, the senior associate dean for degree programs and Harmon Whittington Professor of Finance, reflects on his 25 years at Rice University.Join James and host Maya Pomroy '22 as they explore his journey from the Federal Reserve to Rice Business, the evolution of the school over the past two and a half decades, and his vision for the future of the university. They also dive deep into his groundbreaking research on racial disparities in auto loan pricing — a study that uncovered significant biases against minority borrowers. Plus, get the inside scoop on his experience running a bar in Rice Village.Episode Guide:01:20 James Weston's Career Journey04:25 Early Career and Mentorship08:56 Teaching Philosophy and Student Relationships13:52 Research on Auto Loans and Discrimination18:58 Linking Mortgage and Experian Data20:14 Evidence of Discrimination in Auto Lending22:48 Challenges in Passing Auto Lending Regulations24:00 The Realities of Owning and Operating a Bar30:24 Transition to Administration at Rice Business33:47 Reflections on a Diverse CareerOwl Have You Know is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:How Dean James pursues scientific rigor34:50: [James Weston] I sort of view the thing that ties together all my papers as a foundational social scientist trying to measure things that are hard to measure. And so when I see things that I think have a lot of social import or a research question that I think has either a practical application or some large social question that I think needs answering, the fun for me is trying to figure out how to measure it and trying to come up with a clever way of identifying the research question in a way that's unambiguous and in a way that we can solidify and say, like, that's the answer. And I know it with as near scientific certainty as I can — you know, the existence of the Higgs boson particle.35:19: [Maya Pomroy] We can't get into that right now. Yeah. 35:33: [James Weston] But, but you know, but I'm saying, like, to treat it like a scientist.35:36: [Maya Pomroy] Yes.35:37: [James Weston] And study it like it's a real causal question. Yeah. And you attack it with the scientific method, and you attack it with the scrutiny and the scientific rigor that they use across campus.On pushing for transparency in auto lending23:20: My hope is that the Senate Banking Committee continues to take action on it, and we see more—just something similar to the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, where auto dealers just have to report. They have a spreadsheet, and you just have to send it to the Fed the way every bank does with every mortgage application. And hopefully that transparency attenuates the discrimination the way it largely did in home mortgages. It took time. It was a 10-year process. It'll probably take that long on auto lending. And we're not the only voice in this choir. There's lots of other people now that are sort of jumping on the bandwagon.How Dean James views his new job role30:48: Moving into administration means, in my mind at least, it means I'm not working anymore. In the sense that I'm not executing the primary missions of the school, which are teaching and scholarship. And so I'm not teaching as much anymore, and I'm not doing as much scholarship anymore, which means I'd better be doing something to collect the paycheck. And the way I genuinely view it is that now I'm trying to enable the rest of my faculty to do better teaching and better scholarship. My role is as a service leader, which is how I view this job—as a tour of service, not a career pivot. I didn't take this job to then become dean someplace, to then become provost someplace, to then become Supreme Commander of University somewhere. But, like, it was someone else's turn to do this very important role, which is to coordinate all the programs, get the teaching schedules done, make sure I'm protecting junior faculty and their teaching loads, make sure I'm putting the right people into the right classes, making sure we're keeping track of it.Show Links: TranscriptThe Hidden Inequality in Auto-Lending | Rice Business WisdomGuest Profiles:James Weston | Rice University

Today's episode is one that will stir your heart and challenge you to step into the fight for justice. I sit down with Britney Higgs, founder of Her Campaign, an organization dedicated to providing restoration and healing for survivors of human trafficking.Britney's journey is nothing short of incredible. She shares how God took her from a place of personal trauma and brokenness to a calling she never expected—standing in the gap for women who have endured the unimaginable.What started as a simple “yes” to God turned into a movement. For over three years, Britney and her family opened their home to survivors of trafficking, integrating them into a family system that provided deeper healing than any program they had ever been in. But as they walked alongside these women, they recognized a critical gap: survivors needed a stabilization phase before they could truly begin to heal.So, they pioneered an 8-week emergency stabilization program—a safe place where survivors could begin recovering body, mind, and spirit before stepping into long-term restoration. And now? Her Campaign is seeing transformation like never before. Survivors are not just healing—they're leading. Some have even stepped onto staff, walking alongside others with the same compassion and hope they once needed themselves.In this conversation, we dive into:✨ How childhood trauma led Britney to believe lies about her worth and identity✨ The moment she heard God's voice for the first time—and how it changed everything✨ Her journey from a comfortable entrepreneurial life to high-risk missions overseas✨ What she learned from survivors in Iraq and why she couldn't turn away✨ The call to establish safe homes in the U.S. and how Her Campaign was born✨ The power of family-centered healing in survivor restoration✨ Why stabilization is a missing link in survivor care across the nation✨ How God uses even the darkest places to bring His glory and redemptionAnd at the core of it all? The unwavering belief that God truly does use what the world calls foolish to confound the wise (1 Corinthians 1:27). That His heart is always for restoration, even in the midst of suffering.If you've ever wrestled with how a good God could bring beauty from unthinkable pain, this episode will root you in Romans 8:18—what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory He will reveal to us later.Bio:Britney Higgs lives in Billings with her husband, Sammy, and their four children. Together they founded HER Campaign, a non-profit organization that provides residential programs for survivors of human trafficking. She is an advocate for freedom and passionate about cultivating a culture of community living and ecosystem of holistic care for survivors of human trafficking.Anchor Verses:Psalm 68Romans 8:18Connect with Britney:LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/britneyhiggsIG: https://www.instagram.com/britneyhiggsHER Campaign:Website: https://hercampaign.orgHER Campaign: https://www.instagram.com/hercampaignLinktree: https://linktr.ee/hercampaignCRISIS SUPPORTIf this is an emergency, please dial 911.For Suicide prevention please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255, for free confidential, 24/7 help.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 11, 2025 is: quark • KWORK • noun Quark is a word used in physics to refer to any one of several types of very small particles that make up matter. // Quarks, which combine together to form protons and neutrons, come in six types, or flavors: up, down, charm, strange, top, and bottom. See the entry > Examples: “One quantum field is special because its default value can change. Called the Higgs field, it controls the mass of many fundamental particles, like electrons and quarks. Unlike every other quantum field physicists have discovered, the Higgs field has a default value above zero. Dialing the Higgs field value up or down would increase or decrease the mass of electrons and other particles. If the setting of the Higgs field were zero, those particles would be massless.” — Matt Von Hippel, Wired, 19 Aug. 2024 Did you know? If you were a physics major, chances are that James Joyce didn't make it onto your syllabus. While literature majors are likely more familiar with his work, Joyce has a surprising tie to physics. In the early 1960s, American physicist Murray Gell-Man came up with the word quork, which he used to refer to his concept of an elementary particle smaller than a proton or neutron (by his own account he was in the habit of using names like “squeak” and “squork” for peculiar objects). He later settled on the spelling quark after reading a line from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake: “Three quarks for Muster Mark! / Sure he has not got much of a bark / And sure any he has it's all beside the mark.” The name stuck and has been used by physicists ever since.

On October 27, 2008, Jodi Lynne Torok was at her Crofton, MD home talking on the phone with her close friend, Blair Wolfe, when a man, purporting to be a salesman, knocked on her front door. Jodi ended the call to respond to the so-called salesman, but thereafter never called Ms. Wolfe back or answered any of Wolfe's subsequent telephone calls. Growing increasingly concerned, Ms. Wolfe telephoned the victim's roommate, and requested that she leave work and return home to make sure that the victim was safe. Upon arriving at the residence that she shared with the victim, Ms. Higgs found the front door unlocked and the victim lying on the foyer, unconscious and bleeding from a gunshot wound to her head. At the time, she was two months pregnant. As a result of the gunshot wound, the victim's pregnancy was terminated, and she suffered severe and disabling injuries. The State developed a theory that, Charles Martin was in a relationship with the victim and upon learning of Torok’s refusal to obtain an abortion, solicited a friend to kill Torok and assisted Burks in the murder. The State charged Martin with solicitation of murder and accessory before the fact to attempted murder in the first degree. He was convicted and sentence to life in prison.

It's Thursday, February 13th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Iran arrested two Christians Article 18 reports that authorities in Iran arrested two Christians last Thursday.  Nasser Navard Gol-Tapeh and Joseph Shabazian are both in their 60s. They had previously spent a combined six years in prison for leading house churches. They originally received 10-year sentences, but were released part way through.  It's not clear why officials arrested Nasser and Joseph again. But the Middle Eastern country is known for arresting anyone who is not aligned with the Islamic regime on “security” charges. Iran is ranked ninth on the Open Doors' World Watch List of nations where it is most difficult to be a Christian.  In Matthew 5:10, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” British Christian teacher vindicated for objecting to transgender agenda Yesterday, an appeals court in the United Kingdom ruled in favor of a Christian teacher who lost her job over her Facebook posts. A Church of England primary school in Gloucestershire fired Kristie Higgs in 2019. This came after she posted a petition on Facebook that opposed mandatory sex education in schools. She also posted an article that challenged transgender ideology.  Higgs has spent the last six years fighting the school's decision to fire her.  HIGGS: “Nobody should lose their job for raising concerns. The biggest thing for me was that it was a Church of England School. They should be going by what God says, but now they're changing it, and that's just alarming. Just to see a boy in girl's clothing. Another one, My Princess Boy. To some people, it may appear to be okay, but when you know the Lord, you know His ways, and you know a boy cannot be a princess. A boy shouldn't dress up in Princess' clothing. “I knew what these books were. I knew that it was wrong. I could see through it, and I praise God for that. I encourage others to stand up against the ideology and the agendas that are being pushed. You know, we don't have to, don't have to agree to everything. We don't have to go with the flow. The Lord is with us and will help us through it all.” After her victory yesterday, Higgs said, “I pray that today will prove to be a landmark day for Christian freedoms and free speech.  … The Court of Appeal has now set a clear standard to protect people like me, and the countless other Christians in this nation, to express their beliefs without fear of losing their jobs.” Trump chatted with Russian President Vladimir Putin U.S. President Donald Trump spoke over the phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday.  It's the first known conversation between the two leaders since the start of Trump's second term. Trump described the conversation as “lengthy and highly productive.” He announced the two countries would begin immediate negotiations for ending the war between Russia and Ukraine. Trump said he also had a good conversation with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy yesterday.  The conversations come as the United States and Russia complete a prisoner exchange this week.  Tulsi Gabbard confirmed as National Intelligence Director Former Democratic Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, who became a Republican and endorsed Donald Trump for President last October, has been confirmed by the U.S. Senate to the position of director of national intelligence, reports The Epoch Times. Gabbard was confirmed in a 52–48 vote on Wednesday. Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky was the only Republican to vote against Gabbard. SENATOR: “Yays are 52. Nays are 48. Nomination is confirmed.” Yesterday's confirmation follows a contentious few weeks of debate over Gabbard's qualifications and judgment, in which lawmakers from both sides of the aisle asked probing questions about her views on Russia, ousted Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, and Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who leaked classified information. Listen to this exchange between Republican Senator Jerry Moran of Kansas and Gabbard on the topic of Russia as she appeared before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. MORAN: “I want to make certain that in no way does Russia get a pass in either your mind or your heart or in any policy recommendation you would make or not make.” GABBARD: “Senator, I'm offended by the question because my sole focus, commitment, and responsibility is about our own nation, our own security, and the interests of the American people. In carrying out the responsibilities of the Director of National Intelligence, if confirmed, no country, group or individual will get a pass in my fulfilling that responsibility of providing that full intelligence picture so that you all can make the best informed policy decisions for the safety, security, and freedom of the American people. “You have my commitment to be completely objective, unbiased, and apolitical. And I hope you understand my commitment to our country's interest.” MORAN: “I absolutely do. You have answered my question in the manner in which I wanted to hear, that you will do this in an objective manner, provide the information necessary, and that Russia, if it's a threat, you will tell us so and tell us the details of that threat.” GABBARD: “Yes. Senator.” After President Trump introduced her at the Oval Office, Gabbard was sworn in by Attorney General Pam Bondi. GABBARD: “I, Tulsi Gabbard, do solemnly swear, that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same. I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I'm about to enter. So help me, God.” CDC website purged references to LGBTQ lifestyle and affirmed adoption The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is changing its website under the Trump administration. The CDC is editing or removing references on its website to “transgender” individuals, “LGBTQ+ health,” and diversity, equity and inclusion.  Its website also suggests adoption when people search for abortion. Trump: No more drag shows at Kennedy Center And finally, President Trump announced last Friday that he is removing liberal agendas from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The national cultural center of the United States is located in Washington, D.C. Congress authorized the center in 1958, requiring it to be sustained through private funds. Trump said he fired multiple people on the center's board of trustees, becoming the chairman himself. He wrote on Truth Social, “Just last year, the Kennedy Center featured Drag Shows specifically targeting our youth — THIS WILL STOP.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, February 13th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.
