Melvyn Bragg and guests explore the history and reputation of the Persian ruler Cyrus the Great. Cyrus the Second of Persia as he was known then was born in the sixth century BCE in Persis which is now in Iran. He was the founder of the first Persian Empire, the largest empire at that point in history, spanning more than two million square miles. His story was told by the Greek historians Herodotus and Xenophon, and in the Hebrew bible he is praised for freeing the Jewish captives in Babylon. But the historical facts are intertwined with fiction.Cyrus proclaimed himself ‘king of the four corners of the world' in the famous Cyrus Cylinder, one of the most admired objects in the British Museum. It's been called by some the first bill of human rights, but that's a label which has been disputed by most scholars today.WithMateen Arghandehpour, a researcher for the Invisible East Project at Oxford University,Lindsay Allen, Senior Lecturer in Ancient Greek and Near Eastern History at King's College London,AndLynette Mitchell, Professor Emerita in Classics and Ancient History at Exeter University.Producer: Eliane GlaserReading list:Pierre Briant (trans.

In this episode, gemmotherapy expert Lauren Hubele shares how a melanoma diagnosis during pregnancy led her to discover the power of plant-based healing. She breaks down how gemmotherapy harnesses the vitality of fresh buds and young shoots to support both physical and emotional well-being. Lauren introduces key extracts like black poplar, dog rose, and walnut, explaining their unique benefits. Plus, she gives us a sneak peek into her upcoming courses that blend gemmotherapy with human design and coaching, along with her new book, The Art and Science of Gemmotherapy, a must-read for anyone curious about this natural healing method.   Episode Highlights: 01:40 - Lauren's Journey to Gemmotherapy 05:30 - What is Gemmotherapy? 06:41 - Meristem Cells and Their Importance 08:24 - Historical Background of Gemmotherapy 14:11 - Dosage and Administration 17:09 - Discovery of the Nervous System's Role 19:22 - Sustainable practices = less impact, more results 21:14 - Does creating a combination remedy with Gemmo work? 25:04 - Integrating Gemmo into Practice 31:15 - Courses and Resources for Learning Gemmotherapy 34:29 - The Gemmotherapy Forest Project 38:40 - Black Poplar: Addressing Fear 41:13 - Dog Rose: Supporting Fragility 45:00 - Walnut: Shielding and Isolation 48:58 - Accessing Gemmos in Different Regions   About my Guest: For Lauren, the study of Gemmotherapy has been more than a career—it has been a lifelong journey, full of discovery, adventure, and purpose. It has taken her across continents, introduced her to extraordinary people, and allowed her to coach hundreds of families and practitioners in both Europe and the U.S. Every time she thinks her work with Gemmotherapy has reached its conclusion, a new chapter unfolds. The latest? The cultivation of the Gemmo Forest. What began as an intended hands-on classroom to teach Gemmotherapy has grown into something larger—a plant and tree nursery, educational outreach programs, and a grassroots initiative encouraging neighborhoods to replace their lawns with herb and vegetable gardens. Lauren's life now follows the rhythm of the land. From spring through fall, she can be found outdoors, hands in the dirt, working alongside her husband, Joachim, to tend both the Gemmo Forest and their 7,500-square-foot family garden. Summers bring the joy of an annual family farm camp when all three of their adult children return home to help harvest. Lauren especially cherishes this time with her granddaughter, Rowan, fostering in her the spirit of reciprocity with nature. When the cold sets in and the fields rest, Lauren returns indoors, where she rekindles her love of writing by the wood stove, always with her calico, Ruby, curled close by.   Find out more about Lauren Website: https://laurenhubele.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laurenhubele/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Restoringimmunity/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@laurenhubele3412   If you would like to support the Homeopathy Hangout Podcast, please consider making a donation by visiting www.EugenieKruger.com and click the DONATE button at the top of the site.

In this episode we welcome Dr. Jean Decorvet and Dr. Kenneth Stewart to explore The Geneva Réveil, a significant yet often overlooked nineteenth-century evangelical revival that reshaped French-speaking Protestantism and left a lasting global impact. We discuss the origins, theological dynamics, and international reach of this movement, featured in the new volume, The Geneva Réveil in International Perspective. Dr. Decorvet shares personal insights, including his family's connection to Adolphe Monod—known as “the voice of the revival”—while Dr. Stewart highlights the fascinating transatlantic ties between the Réveil and American Presbyterianism. The conversation considers the blend of warm piety and Reformed orthodoxy that fueled the movement, its influence on hymnody, social reform (including the founding of the Red Cross), and the broader currents of nineteenth-century evangelicalism. Listen to discover how the Geneva Réveil not only revitalized Francophone Protestantism but also shaped the course of global missions, theological education, and the enduring legacy of Reformed thought.

Welcome to this probing, brand-new, fact filled episode of Light ‘Em Up.We are currently being actively downloaded in 119 countries, globally.  Please spread the word with a friend regarding our podcast! Remember, we are here for you and because of you!We tackle the topics that touch your lives!We hear so much talk about the topic of Qualified Immunity — but few really know what it is and what it consists of in much detail.  THIS episode will put to bed ALL of those questions.Bringing a §1983 Civil Rights lawsuit against any government entity is not an easy task to accomplish.Qualified immunity is a judicially crafted legal doctrine and concept created by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Pierson v Ray in 1967.The doctrine was created to protect government officials, particularly law enforcement officers, from frivolous lawsuits and financial liability when they acted in good faith in legally unclear situations.We discuss the requirement (as the law states) that there must be a constitutional violation that infringed upon the rights of a person that was “clearly established” at the time it was committed.Many legal scholars argue that qualified immunity has no legal basis and is not grounded in the text or history of the relevant statutes at 42 U.S. Section 1983.  Many argue that the doctrine signals a retreat from the protections afforded to Black victims of racial terror by the Civil Rights Act of 1871 (also known as the Ku Klux Klan Act).Several of our guests on Light ‘Em Up have run face first into the stone-cold, hard truths and effects of qualified immunity.—      As a case study we'll examine the fact pattern in a case called Betts v Brennan whereby an officer was sued for using his taser on a non-compliant motorist.—      We examine and amplify on the historic background of the concept of qualified immunity.—      Drilling down on the original intent, pro's/con's and purposes of the law.—      Search out how this doctrine, for lack of a better description, has become “twisted and perverted”, providing what for all intents and purposes is a never-ending “get out of jail free card” to members of law enforcement (and other governmental agents) — even when they violate the law.We share inconvenient truths how qualified immunity (as it has been regularly implemented):—      erodes justice and public trust—     blocks accountability—     sets an unreasonably high legal barrier—     serves to further injure those who have already been injured — as victims must identify a near-identical precedent, meaning they have to cite a similar case that a prior victim experienced to challenge misconduct, as we mentioned, an often “insurmountable legal hurdle”.As education is always a foundational pillar of Light ‘Em Up, we introduce you to the concept of Respondeat superior:  A legal doctrine and Latin term that literally means, “let the master respond”.It holds employers liable for the actions of their employees — which is also known as vicarious liability.And we empower you with six of the Supreme Court's landmark decisions that have further defined and carved out this judicial doctrine since its inception by the Warren Court.This episode is jam-packed with rock-solid research and information regarding the legal concept of qualified immunity. After today, after tuning in, you will speak with authority about the topic — forever setting you head and shoulders above and apart from everyone else — who speak without knowing.Tune in and be educated and empowered you with the facts, not fiction!Follow our sponsors:  Newsly & Feedspot.We want to hear from you!

The afikra podcast is back with a new season hosted by Mikey Muhanna. We kick off with an episode in partnership with Fujifilm and Gulf Photo Plus with Iranian academic, philosophical author, and artist Nadia Maftouni, who delves into the groundbreaking contributions of Ibn al-Haytham to modern science. Known as the father of modern optics, Ibn al-Haytham's extensive work on camera obscura, empirical science, and mathematics laid the foundation for future scientific advancements. Maftouni explores his methodology, significant works like the "Book of Optics," and how his concepts influenced later scholars such as German astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler. Additionally, Maftouni sheds light on Ibn al-Haytham's time under house arrest and his enduring impact on science and philosophy.00:00 Introduction01:34 Historical Background of Camera Obscura03:16 Ibn al-Haytham's Contributions to Optics04:50 Ibn al-Haytham's Methodology and Scientific Approach06:49 Ibn al-Haytham's Influence on Later Scientists07:51 House Arrest and Major Works12:07 Philosophical Views and Scientific Method16:19 Transmission of Knowledge to Europe17:45 Ibn al-Haytham's Legacy and Influence31:44 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsNadia Maftouni is an Iranian academic, philosopher, author, and artist.

Text:  Genesis 1:1   Introduction: Why Study Genesis? It sets the foundation for the rest of the Bible. It gives us the purpose of God for mankind. It describes the origin and effects of sin. It anticipates God's answer to our problem of sin, a seed coming through the line of Abraham. It describes the origin of the nation of Israel and the Promised Land. It reveals the character of God to us.   The Historical Background of Genesis Genesis is a book of beginnings, and the first of the five books of the Pentateuch. Genesis was penned by Moses while the children of Israel were in the wilderness.   The Thematic Structure of Genesis Genesis 1-11 sets the foundation in broad terms of how the world was made and the fall of man. (wide angle lens) Genesis 12-50 focuses on the family of Abraham and how God's promise will be fulfilled to send redemption to His people. (zoom lens)   The Creator God of Genesis (Genesis 1:1) Our God is the mighty and everlasting Creator and Sustainer of all things, and we are accountable to Him as His creation. Our response to God should be one of worship and submission, where He is exalted.

Sermon on the Mount E14 – In Matthew 5:33-48, Jesus offers three case studies about how people can work together in spite of conflict. The first case study focuses on the ancient practice of oath keeping. By the time of Jesus, ancient Israelites no longer spoke the divine name of Yahweh out of respect, but they would still swear oaths by things closely related to God—like the sky, land, temple, etc. Some people used these oaths as a loophole because they felt less serious to break (“I only swore by the temple!”). In this episode, Jon and Tim discuss Jesus' teaching on oaths, which demonstrates God's wisdom on the integrity of our words and the danger of even small deceptions.View more resources on our website →Timestamps Chapter 1: The Historical Background of Oaths (00:00-13:22)Chapter 2: The Heart Beneath Oaths (13:22-30:44)Chapter 3: Oaths From the Evil One (30:44-46:15)Referenced ResourcesThe Divine Conspiracy by Dallas WillardCheck out Tim's library here.You can experience our entire library of resources in the BibleProject app, available for Android and iOS.Show Music Original Sermon on the Mount music by Richie KohenAdditional music by UpsiDownBibleProject theme song by TENTSShow CreditsJon Collins is the creative producer for today's show, and Tim Mackie is the lead scholar.
