America's first Olympic games were bad. But just how bad were they??? The 1904 St. Louis Olympics were part of a World's Fair that featured human zoos, a display of premature babies, a racist athletic event called “Anthropology Days,” and more! The actual Olympic competitions were disorganized and featured mostly American athletes. And for the turd on this poo sundae - a marathon event that almost killed competitors.

Dr Monteith: This is Dr Teshamae Monteith, Associate Editor of Continuum Audio. Today, I'm interviewing Dr Kathryn Holroyd on toxic metabolic myelopathies, which is part of the February Continuum issue on spinal cord disorders. Dr. Holroyd is an instructor in the Department of Neurology at Yale School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut. Katie, thank you so much for being with us on the podcast, and thank you so much for your excellent article. It was filled with a lot of really great tips. Dr Holroyd: Thank you - happy to be here. Dr. Monteith: I want to start off with knowing, how did you gain expertise in spinal cord diseases? Dr Holroyd: Yeah, I have a fairly diverse clinical background. My primary work now is as a neurohospitalist. But after residency training, I did two one-year fellowships: one in neuroimmunology and one in neuroinfectious diseases. I think, with those things together – you know, a lot of these, especially acute-onset myelopathies, tend to present inpatient for diagnosis – so, we see a lot of those in my hospital practice. Then, I think, specifically for toxic metabolic myelopathies - to identify these, you often have to know what it's not. So, my experience with some of the other autoimmune and infectious disorders really comes into play. Then finally, I kind of focused on global health work, which is why I primarily do neurohospitalist work - to allow for travel. I spent the past year working at a neuro HIV research site in Thailand, and I've done some work (mainly with education) in Zambia. But I've seen that, kind of, all how people's environments and local areas can really affect what disorders are more common, and I think it's really important to take that into account with especially this topic, as well. Dr Monteith: Well, your work in global health could be a whole other area, a whole other podcast that I would really want to record with you. But let's start with, what did you seek to accomplish when writing your article? Dr Holroyd: I think, when I was writing the article along with Dr. Berkowitz, the co-author, we really wanted to focus on things that would be clinically relevant, not just for neurologists, but for clinicians all over who may not have access to a subspecialist neurologist. We tried to focus less on metabolic pathways or disturbances and focus more on clinical pearls. I tried to think, “When I see these patients, what are the questions that I have that are not easily answerable from Google or UpToDate or a textbook? And how can we really use primary evidence to answer some of those questions? For example, what percent of patients with B12 deficiency actually have an abnormal MRI? Those are the things we were asking ourselves and, hopefully, that we were able to answer through the article. We focused on three main categories of toxic metabolic myelopathies, as you can see from the work. Dr Monteith: So, specifically, you've been writing about nutritional deficiencies, environmental and dietary toxins, drug abuse, medical illnesses, and oncological treatments. When you wrote your article and, comparing it to even, like, five or ten years ago, what has changed? Dr Holroyd: It's a great question because, I think, even when I started writing the article, it's easy to feel like not much has changed in these particular disorders. But if you go deeper, I think that's not the case. The main ways in which things have changed, I think, on the nutritional front, is there's been an increase in weight loss and weight-loss surgery, which is one of the main contributors to all nutritional deficiencies. The second main category is - in some of these toxic myelopathies - is the increasing rates of drug use, particularly heroin, which we talk about in detail in the article. Additionally, along those lines, with climate change - we often don't think about the way that climate change can really affect disorders that are related to nutrition or the way that certain foods are prepared, especially with increasing rates of drought, and that really relates to konzo. Finally, there's been great advances in the treatment of all sorts of cancers, particularly with immunologic therapy. The one immunologic complication we talk about is with immune checkpoint inhibitors, and I think there's been a huge increase in clinicians seeing these as complications of checkpoint inhibition. So, those are the three main ways that I think these have evolved in the past decade. Dr Monteith: Great. You spoke about your interest in clinical pearls - can you describe some essential points that you wanted readers to take away with when diagnosing and managing patients that are presenting with myelopathies thought to be due to toxic or metabolic etiologies? Dr Holroyd: Yeah, and a lot of these are so different it's hard to find overarching themes, but I think there are a few that come through in the article. The first is that a lot - not all, but a lot - of these are reversible. Diagnosing them early is important and can really make a difference in patient outcomes. The second is a real clinical principle of all neurology that I learned from Dr Berkowitz, my co-author - is that neurology really is time course and localization. Amongst these, I think it's important to look at the time course, whether it's acute or subacute, and the location in the cord, whether it's a subacute combined degeneration or a more dorsal-column-only-predominant myelopathy - that can help you narrow the differential. A couple other small things is that, overall, these toxic myelopathies tend to be more thoracic cord-predominant and affect the legs more than the arms. In the majority of cases, the MRI will actually be normal, which is a big difference from a lot of the other autoimmune or infectious myelopathies. I think those are some main takeaways. And finally, you really have to be careful when you're interpreting the lab tests and make sure that the clinical picture fits with the lab tests that you're measuring - for example, the vitamin or other cause - and make sure that you really are correlating the diagnosis with that test. Then, I think the cause of the deficiency will affect your treatment choice; whether you're dosing supplements orally or IV, and what dose you choose - those are the major things to take into account. Dr Monteith: I really like what you say because, I think, as neurologists, we are always thinking about localization, localization, localization, but that time course also matters for a number of diseases. Dr Holroyd: And to that point, I think the clinical diagnosis is particularly important in resource-limited settings, where advanced diagnostics, such as MRI or lumbar puncture, may not be available. For example, konzo - the WHO has very clear clinical criteria of how to define this disorder, given that in most of the regions where cassava root is primarily eaten, there are not these diagnostics. I think we can apply that globally or even in our own practice in areas of the US or other places - to really rely on your clinical judgment and the time course and the localization of the biolopathy[IG1] . Dr Monteith: Yeah. What was that like when you were practicing in Zambia? Dr Holroyd: I worked primarily with Dr Deanna Saylor, who is there funding and working with neurology residents, and we would see a wide variety of clinical cases but have very little real-time information. So, I really admire the residents who train and work in Zambia and have to make clinical decisions with very little information. In those settings, the history – so, asking people about recent ingestions, any drugs, diet at home, any exposures that might cause increased risk of these conditions - is very important. And sometimes you have to rely on empiric treatments, such as vitamin B12, in cases where you may not be able to send for those tests - especially more specific tests, such as methylmalonic acid or homocysteine. Dr Monteith: With your hospitalist experience, can you think of some cases, or like, one case that stands out that made you lose sleep at night, that you cracked the puzzle? Just so that we have this on our radar. Dr Holroyd: Yeah, I think that there's some more unusual causes of toxic myelopathies. We saw a young woman who came in with a very acute, very severe myelopathy after studying for a test. She had a dorsal column-predominant hyperintensity, but all of her other diagnostics - lumbar puncture, everything else - was completely normal. We weren't really thinking of nutritional deficiencies because it was such an acute onset in such a young woman; we are really thinking this must be autoimmune or something else. And it actually came out that she had been ingesting whippets – so, inhaled nitric oxide, which came out a bit later in the history. And we checked for a B12, which was very low, and it turned out to be a nitric oxide-induced vitamin B12 myelopathy, which can be seen but is relatively rare and really stuck out in my mind. Thankfully, she made a full recovery with the supplementation of vitamin B12 and cessation of drug use. Dr Monteith: Wow, that is an impressive story. I'm glad that was on your mind and you figured it out. Dr Holroyd: Thanks. Yeah - team effort. Dr Monteith: What should we take away about nutritional deficiencies? Dr Holroyd: Nutritional myelopathies – I think there are kind of the four main ones that we speak about in the article - vitamin B12, folate, vitamin E and copper - and I think these really have more similarities than differences. They all present clinically very similarly, with the subacute combined degeneration of the cord (the dorsal columns and the corticospinal tracts) - that's going to give you, basically, spasticity and upper motor neuron signs, as well as sensory symptoms (loss of vibration and proprioception). Weakness can be a part of it, but that's usually a bit later in the course. Secondly, they all have similar diagnostics. As I mentioned, the MRI is going to be normal in over 50% of cases of all of these, but when it's abnormal, generally they'll be a T2/FLAIR hyperintensity in the dorsal column, and that will be the most common finding. Often, we don't have a lot of lumbar puncture data from these conditions, but generally, when lumbar puncture is performed, it will be relatively normal or noninflammatory. So, those are some of the similarities. Some of the differences are the risk factors. Vitamin B12 - the risks are going to be mainly bariatric surgery, a vegan diet, or autoimmune pernicious anemia. Folate deficiency from nutritional causes is very rare, so that's usually going to come from someone with an increased folate requirement (sickle cell anemia or certain hematologic malignancies). Vitamin E often comes from malabsorption, as seen in cystic fibrosis, or abetalipoproteinemia, or hepatobiliary disorders. And then finally, copper generally comes from gastric surgeries or from excessive zinc intake, the classic example of being denture cream. I think one way to differentiate these is by looking at the person's risk factors. Finally, I think I tried to categorize them in my head in a few different ways with clues that might give you a specific clue. So, if someone comes in with a subacute myelopathy and they also have a macrocytic anemia, that would push you more towards vitamin B12 or folate. However, if they're presenting with a myeloneuropathy (so, that's upper motor neuron signs) but also a peripheral neuropathy on exam, you might think more vitamin B12 or copper. Then finally, if someone comes in with a myelopathy as well as ataxia, you might think more likely vitamin E deficiency. Those are some ways to categorize these that may otherwise appear very similar. But I think, at the end of the day, and someone with a subacute myelopathy and a nutritional risk factor, you'll end up sending all four of these blood tests to evaluate for appropriate treatment. Dr Monteith: Well, let's move on to climate change. It's not often that we see climate change in a neurology article, but yet it's a thing that affects patients. Can you talk about konzo? I wasn't familiar with the term before reading your article, so thank you. Dr Holroyd: Yeah, it's one of these that we debated - should we include this in the article (because it is relatively rare). But I think it is important to keep a global perspective. Konzo and lathyrism are the two nutritional toxic myelopathies that we talk about, but I'll just focus on konzo for brevity. This occurs in populations that rely on the cassava root for nutrition and generally occurs in times of drought, and that's because drought increases the cyanide content in the cassava root. After higher rates of ingestion, especially in people with protein malnutrition (so, a lot of children and young women), you can actually get a toxic myelopathy from cyanide. And the mechanism is not totally understood, but it tends to be quite acute onset, primarily with spasticity, impaired gait, and weakness. It will self-stabilize, but there really is no way to improve symptoms after it's occurred. It is relatively permanent. There really isn't a lot of data on MRI findings or CSF findings, but the few case reports that have been published, they tend to be normal. I think what's important is that there are very easy public health interventions to prevent these toxicities – so, by simply increasing the wetting time of the cassava root (so, soaking it for longer), you can reduce the cyanide content and really effectively prevent this condition. So, I think the big picture takeaway that can be connected to a lot of other neurologic disorders globally is that we need to be aware of how climate change will affect our environment - and dietary changes, environmental exposures - and focus on early public health interventions to prevent these. So, how can we help prevent these rather than treat them once they happen. Dr Monteith: Are we seeing more of it, or is it just better diagnosed? Dr Holroyd: There's not great public health data on the rates throughout areas. It (so far) has only been reported in the African continent. There have been increases and decreases in numbers based on, I think, both the climate (so, times of drought or worse, malnutrition), but also, I think the reporting - I think it fluctuates not only with the weather but also with the amount of ability to publish on cases. So, I don't think we have a good grasp on whether, globally, their rates of konzo or lathyrism are increasing or not. Dr Monteith: Then, heroin - we have to talk about heroin, right? It's just simply remarkable that close to a million individuals in the US over the age of twelve use heroin in 2020. So, now you just have to talk to us about heroin myelopathy because it's something that we could see. Dr Holroyd: Absolutely. It's not something that I think most clinicians are familiar with as the complication of heroin use. But I'm sure that heroin touches all of our lives as clinicians in any field. There are two types of myelopathy related to heroin. There can be a slower, subacute myelopathy with chronic use. But what's more common, actually, is in people who have a long history of heroin use and then abstain for days to weeks and then use heroin again. This causes a very acute-onset longitudinal myelopathy that often has MRI abnormalities as well and can affect both the cervical and the thoracic cord and be quite severe, affecting all modalities (sensation as well as weakness). The mechanism really is not well understood for this and, therefore, the treatments really aren't well understood, either. Some case reports have trialed IV corticosteroids, but really, there's an unclear benefit for this. Most people will regain some recovery of function, but often it's not full recovery, and some may have no recovery. I think the follow-up question to this is, as we see the composition of drugs change – so, now there's a predominance of fentanyl, actually, whereas most of these case reports were from more traditional heroin. I was actually looking into it - this isn't covered in the article - but there has been one case report in 2019 about fentanyl use in someone who primarily used heroin, was abstinent for eight days but continued to use fentanyl patch, and developed an acute-onset, severe cervical myelopathy quite similar to this traditional heroin myelopathy. So, it seems like fentanyl will probably still have the same risks, but it's slightly less well understood at this point. Dr Monteith: And important also for chronic pain – just, like, poorly managed chronic pain that we might see, as you do during a hospital consultation. Dr Holroyd: Absolutely, yes - especially because this was from a fentanyl patch itself. Dr Monteith: Great. So, why don't you wrap up the most important clinical takeaways from your article? Dr Holroyd: I think one takeaway that we haven't really focused on is that, actually, most of the primary literature on a lot of these topics, especially the nutritional topics, are twenty to thirty years old, and I think updated case series would really inform clinical practice. When it came down to it, actually - folate deficiency - we really only found four to five case reports in all the literature, which I really think is disproportionate to how much we learned about it in medical school and residency. I think, really, a better understanding of (in this era) what the prevalence of these disorders are, how they're presenting, and effective treatments, is really needed. I think that a lot of the exciting work will also occur in the field of oncology, with new treatments, with immune checkpoint inhibitors, and better understanding of how we can mitigate the risks of neurologic complications while still allowing patients the benefit of their cancer treatment. So, I think diagnosing toxic metabolic myelopathies early is very important. And in someone with a subacute, or even acute myelopathy without a clear cause, you should really delve into nutritional, drug use, demographics (kind of, where they're from) - all of these things that we often don't take time to do on history but might be more important in these cases because a lot of them are treatable - it's really important to get to those risk factors early on. I think that's what I would like clinicians to take away from our article. Dr Monteith: Well, I think the article is fully packed with a lot of clinical tips - important tips - but a lot of public health relevance in a really special way that it was written. Any exciting breakthroughs that you're excited about or use of technologies to advance this area? Dr Holroyd: Right now, there really aren't a lot of novel technologies in these areas, or diagnostics. I think, in the future, with some of the more cancer-related radiotherapies or intrathecal chemotherapies, the neuro-oncologists and oncologists will really be at the forefront of minimizing these toxicities. Again, I really think that's where a lot of the more advanced diagnostics will come into play. For the others, I think it's really about early diagnosis and public health awareness, especially as it relates to heroin myelopathy in the US. Dr Monteith: Well, excellent, and thank you for being a part of that public health awareness. Thank you for being on the podcast. Dr Holroyd: Thank you. Thank you so much for having me.

Jules Holroyd is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Sheffield. Her teaching and research focuses on understanding the nature of, and addressing, injustices. In this conversation, she turns her attention to praise.Philosophers have given a lot of attention to blame in the past, but not so much to praise. This might be because praise looks fairly unproblematic on the whole. Praising people is nice! It boosts people's self-confidence, strengthens social bonds, and if we occasionally praise people who don't deserve our praise, who cares? According to Jules Holroyd, a philosopher working at the University of Sheffield, while this attitude is probably right overall, there can be instances in which we praise people in ways that are morally problematic, harmful even, and we should be on the lookout for these cases. In this conversation, we talked about some of the moral norms that govern praise - when it is and isn't appropriate to praise someone - and in particular we looked at the ways in which our acts of praising can signal a commitment to wider social norms, some of which we might not want to endorse.Jules's paper which forms the basis of this conversation is here:Holroyd, J.

As a business, Holroyd has been producing machines in Greater Manchester since 1860 and is a world leader in the design, build and supply of high-precision gear, rotor, screw and thread milling and grinding machines for the manufacture of ultra-precise helical components - and it is here that the relationship with Siemens is reaping rewards. Commenting upon the evolution of the relationship, PTG Holroyd Sales Director, Mr Mark Curran says: “We have worked together with Siemens for more than 25 years. When we discussed with Siemens that we were creating a new design of machine, they informed us that there was a new control system coming to market.” The new machine development is the PTG Holroyd HG350-G helical grinding centre for the production of gears and threads up to 350mm in diameter. The first machine tool from PTG Holroyd to use Siemens' new SINUMERIK ONE future-proof CNC, the HG350-G offers greater levels of flexibility for manufacturers of precision spur gears, helical gears, worms, screws and rotors. The HG350-G is a self-contained production cell that features an extended machine bed to accommodate screws and worm shafts of up to one metre in length with uncompromising levels of precision finish. “When we discussed with Siemens that we were creating a new design of machine, they informed us of the new control and we decided it was a good time to partner with Siemens with the SINUMERIK ONE control,” says Mark Curran. Looking at the reasons for working with Siemens, Wayne Hallam, a Project Engineer at PTG Holroyd says: “We chose to work with Siemens because of the support that they give us. Additionally, the system enables us to combine many different software suites into one package - as it is a modular system. With the power of the Siemens Digital Twin ‘Create MyVirtual Machine', it is easy to commission all software packages off-line and then prove them on our machines once they are built.” Create MyVirtual Machine is a virtual CNC with behaviour identical to that of an actual CNC within the machine. Not to be underestimated, a CNC is adapted to a particular machine tool based on several thousand items of machine data - and this is where many simulation suppliers fall down. As CNCs in their software solutions only simulate to a sufficiently accurate degree, the testing of CNC programs is only possible to a limited extent - and the measurement of runtimes is impossible. Create MyVirtual Machine from Siemens has a clear advantage, as CNC programs are tested with exactly the same CNC setup as in the machine. This enables the CNC program runtime to be measured with an accuracy above 90%. As Mark Curran continues: “We wanted to future-proof the machine because of the software we are developing. Our platform enables multiple suites of software on the machine, so we needed a very powerful system. Currently, SINUMERIK ONE is the most powerful control on the market.” Discussing this future-proofing, Siemens Application Engineer Garry Mepham says: “It's future-proofed because we offer enhanced connectivity possibilities with additional PROFINET interfaces, OPC/UA interfaces and increased performance. We can do this as the CNC is now up to 50% more powerful than the previous control and the PLC is 10 times faster. This is thanks to the newly integrated state-of-the-art 1500 PLC. SINUMERIK ONE boasts compatibility with previous versions, so from an operator point of view it is very familiar - it's just the interface that is slightly enhanced. It still boasts all of the open architecture and possibilities that people come to know with Siemens and this leads to the possibility to program modular design concepts that are important to modern machine tool builders and their concepts. SINUMERIK ONE also boasts increased security in terms of the connectivity between the networking components in the system and the HMI on a control panel as well as external devices such as servers, PCs and the internet with completely encrypted security that is certified for the modern environment.” As Mark Curran continues: “With previous machine tool developments, we have had to have the machine on the shop floor to start the software development. With the ‘Create MyVirtual Machine', we have been able to almost completely create all of the software and the PLC software before the physical machine becomes available. This has reduced the lead time significantly.” Siemens Application Engineer Garry Mepham adds to this, saying: “The digital twin forms part of the many digitalisation offerings Siemens has. In the case of SINUMERIK ONE, we have two products. These are ‘Create MyVirtual Machine' and ‘Run MyVirtual Machine'. Create MyVirtual Machine is aimed at the machine tool builder and Run MyVirtual Machine has been developed for the end-user of the machines. With the digital twin, the key features of Create MyVirtual Machine are the ability to test the concept remotely through to safely develop and test the reaction, should a fault occur on the machine. This enables users to speed up the commissioning process by up to 30% if not more.” “For the end-users utilising Run MyVirtual Machine, they can verify their toolpaths and machining processes by running this software package. This system gives operators confidence that when they verify a toolpath, they have a very accurate representation of the cycle time. This enables the user to be confident that when it is issued to the physical machine, the part is right the first time with no collision risk. Using SINUMERIK ONE in conjunction with Create MyVirtual Machine or Run MyVirtual Machine, some of the key benefits include a significant saving on resources. For example, we can do our testing, verification and development in a virtual environment rather than in a real machine, so energy efficiencies and cost savings are there to be made. These help machine tool builders achieve their sustainability goals whilst compressing product development.” Concluding on the SINUMERIK ONE and its relationship with Siemens, PTG Holroyd Sales Director, Mr Mark Curran concludes: “The HG350-G doesn't only bring new levels of flexibility to our customers but with the Siemens Sinumerik ONE control system – it represents a new era for machine tool manufacturing.”

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.06.30.547163v1?rss=1 Authors: Wientjes, S., Holroyd, C. B. Abstract: Humans have the ability to craft abstract, temporally extended and hierarchically organized plans. For instance, when considering how to make spaghetti for dinner, we typically concern ourselves with useful "subgoals" in the task, such as cutting onions, boiling pasta, and cooking a sauce, rather than particulars such as how many cuts to make to the onion, or exactly which muscles to contract. A core question is how such decomposition of a more abstract task into logical subtasks happens in the first place. Previous research has shown that humans are sensitive to a form of hierarchical statistical learning named "community structure". Community structure is a common feature of abstract tasks characterized by a logical ordering of subtasks. This structure can be captured by a model where humans learn predictions of upcoming events multiple steps into the future, discounting predictions of events further away in time. One such model is the "successor representation", which has been argued to be useful for hierarchical abstraction. As of yet, no study has convincingly shown that this hierarchical abstraction can be put to use for goal-directed behavior. Here, we investigate whether participants utilize learned community structure to craft hierarchically informed action plans for goal-directed behavior. Participants were asked to search for paintings in a virtual museum, where the paintings were grouped together in "wings" representing community structure in the museum. We find that participants' choices accord with the hierarchical structure of the museum and that their response times are best predicted by a successor representation. The degree to which the response times reflect the community structure of the museum correlates with several measures of performance, including the ability to craft temporally abstract action plans. These results suggest that successor representation learning subserves hierarchical abstractions relevant for goal-directed behavior. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Temporal Dynamics of Normalization Reweighting

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.02.10.527994v1?rss=1 Authors: Baker, D. H., Marinova, D., Aveyard, R., Hargreaves, L. J., Renton, A., Castellani, R., Hall, P., Harmens, M., Holroyd, G., Nicholson, B., Williams, E. L., Hobson, H. M., Wade, A. R. Abstract: For decades, neural suppression in early visual cortex has been thought to be fixed. But recent work has challenged this assumption by showing that suppression can be reweighted based on recent history; when pairs of stimuli are repeatedly presented together, suppression between them strengthens. Here we investigate the temporal dynamics of this process using a steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEP) paradigm that provides a time-resolved, direct index of suppression between pairs of stimuli flickering at different frequencies (5 and 7Hz). Our initial analysis of an existing EEG dataset (N=100) indicated that suppression increases substantially during the first 2-5 seconds of stimulus presentation (with some variation across stimulation frequency). We then collected new EEG data (N=100) replicating this finding for both monocular and dichoptic mask arrangements in a preregistered study designed to measure reweighting. A third experiment (N=20) used source localized MEG, and found that these effects are apparent in primary visual cortex (V1), consistent with results from neurophysiological work. Because long-standing theories propose inhibition/excitation differences in autism, we also compared reweighting between individuals with high vs low autistic traits, and with and without an autism diagnosis, across our 3 data sets (total N=220). We find no compelling differences in reweighting that are associated with autism. Our results support the normalization reweighting model, and indicate that for prolonged stimulation, increases in suppression occur on the order of 2-5 seconds after stimulus onset.

Alexandre Holroyd est le député des Français du Royaume-Uni, d'Irlande, des pays baltes et de Scandinavie, réélu en 2022, le jeune parlementaire a été choisi, le 09 septembre 2022, pour présider la Caisse des dépôts et consignations française (CDC). On l'a rencontré quelques heures après la cérémonie à Londres en l'honneur d'Elizabeht II. A Londres, entre passé cordial et amitié renouvelée Le Royaume-Uni a dit adieu à la reine Elizabeth II ce lundi 19 septembre. Ces funérailles d'Etat, surnommées les funérailles du siècle par la presse anglaise, sont les premières depuis la mort de Winston Churchill. Emmanuel Macron et son épouse était, bien naturellement présent. Nous revenons dans les premières minutes de l'interview sur l'émotion mondiale qui s'explique pour Alexandre Holroyd par la place de l'ancienne monarque du Royaume-Uni dans notre histoire. "Il y a une telle émotion mondiale car il y a le sentiment qu'une page de l'Histoire mondiale se tourne"Alexandre Holroyd - député des Français du Royaume-Uni, d'Irlande, des pays baltes et de ScandinavieL'occasion pour nous de l'interroger sur les nouvelles pages de l'amitié franco-britannique qu'il reste à écrire alors que Liz Truss occupe désormais le 10 Downing Street. Membre des conservateurs, la nouvelle première ministre est connue pour ses positions francophobes. Une politique qui ne tiendra pas sur le long terme pour le député des Français de Grande-Bretagne, ce fin connaisseur des relations avec nos pays nous explique dans le podcast pourquoi, malgré le Brexit, la France partage toujours un destin commun avec son voisin. "Si on regarde l'Histoire, avec un grand H, il n'y a qu'une conclusion c'est que nos pays ont vocation à être des alliés dans le XXIème siècle"Alexandre Holroyd - député des Français du Royaume-Uni, d'Irlande, des pays baltes et de ScandinavieL'inflation au coeur du quotidien des Européens Evoquant la situation du Royaume-Uni, on ne pouvait faire l'impasse sur l'inflation qui ravage ce pays mais pas seulement. Comme nous le rappelle, Alexandre Holroyd, l'inflation touche tous les pays de sa circonscription comme les autres pays occidentaux."Il y a une reprise de l'inflation brutale, avec des taux de 20% comme aux pays baltes, avec 25%; ce qui est un bouleversement du modèle économique que nous connaissons depuis 20-30 ans"Alexandre Holroyd - député des Français du Royaume-Uni, d'Irlande, des pays baltes et de ScandinavieAvec le député macroniste, on fait le point sur les mesures prises en France et dont peuvent bénéficier les expatriés qui ont encore des liens forts avec notre pays tout en évoquant les limites de l'aide que peut apporter la France à ses citoyens éparpillés dans le monde. La Caisse des dépôts et consignations Glissant de l'inflation à la macro-économie, nous abordons dans la dernière partie du podcast, le nouveau mandat pour lequel, Alexandre Holroyd a été élu le 09 septembre, la présidence de la Commission nationale de surveillance de la Caisse des dépôts et consignations (CDC). La suite sur le site Lesfrancais.press

De la France à l'Afrique du Sud, de Kiev à Tokyo, en passant par l'Inde et Cuba, de nombreux chefs d'État ont tenu à lui rendre hommage. Le monde du sport est également à l'arrêt en Grande Bretagne, où la Première League de football, le Tour cycliste, des épreuves de golf, de cricket, de rugby, ainsi que des courses hippiques ont été suspendus. Si les réactions suite au décès de la Reine Elisabeth II ont été internationales, la chercheuse Isabelle Baudino, spécialiste de la civilisation britannique estime qu'"il y avait un grand attachement à la reine, moins à la monarchie".

Fresh off his appearance on last month's Year-End Holiday Roundtable Spectacular, fellow defunct sports enthusiast Steve Holroyd returns to the show for a dive into the deep end of the "forgotten sports" pool, with a look back at the little-remembered, but ahead-of-its-time Pro Cricket from 2004.   An attempt to quickly capitalize on the venerable sport's faster-paced Twenty20 format launched in England a year earlier, Pro Cricket was essentially a rogue creation formed outside of cricket's US and international sanctioning bodies - featuring eight teams in a three-month summer season played largely in minor league baseball stadiums across the country.   Crowds were sparse, mainstream sports media attention was minimal, television coverage (Dish Network PPV) was limited, and sustaining funds (supposedly three seasons' worth) were quickly exhausted.    Yet, the play was surprisingly competitive (a smattering of international stars played; the San Francisco Freedom defeated the New Jersey Fire for the only title), and cricket enthusiasts were inspired at the potential the game could ultimately have in the States, once "done right."   That chance could come again next summer, when the new Major League Cricket launches.   Replete with at least one purpose-built stadium (the soon-to-be-converted minor league baseball AirHogs Stadium in Grand Prairie, TX), and backed by a blue-chip roster of investors including media giant Times of India Group and tech backers like Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Adobe Chairman/CEO Shantanu Narayen - MLC promises to bring "world-class T20" to the States, nearly twenty years after Pro Cricket sowed the first seeds.

May 13 2021 Edit: Given the reduced number of cases and hotspot zones in Canada, the country has opted to no longer provide AZ as first shot. And that is because so many of you took AZ when available: thank you! It's because of you and everyone else who got vaccinated, that we are where we are, where we can vaccine shop (a huge privilege that not many around the world have). The AZ remains an effective vaccine, though there is a rare but serious side effect with signs that you should look out for 4 to 28 days after you get the shot (severe headache, blurry vision, any new symptoms that are popping up). Please speak to your health care provider if you have any concerns! April 10 2021 Edit: As new data emerges for AZ, we will do an updated episode as necessary. With the data available now, regulators have said that AZ's benefits vastly outweigh risks - especially if you're higher at risk of severe COVID and are in a hotspot zone - and should be taken when made available to you.

Alexandre Holroyd was the candidate of La République En Marche! at the 2017 legislative elections for the third constituency for French residents overseas. He won the second round against former Hollande minister Axelle Lemaire on 18 June 2017. His constituency of Northern Europe covers all French citizens living in ten countries in Northern Europe - specifically, Iceland, Norway, Denmark (including the Faroe Islands and Greenland), Sweden, Finland (including Åland), Ireland, the United Kingdom, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It contains roughly 140,731 registered French voters. By far the greatest number of these (113,655) are living in the United Kingdom, the country with the third greatest number of registered French residents in the world. Alexandre himself is French-British and was brought up in London and attended a French school. Having attended University in both UK and France, he began a career in consultancy in London. When Emmanuel Macron founded En Marche, Alexandre quit his job to found the overseas arm and campaigned vigorously for a Macron victory. In this episode we discuss French politics, French identity, the rise of Rassemblement National and the future of En Marche.

Big Tent - Live Events! Part of the Humanities Cultural Programme, one of the founding stones for the future Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. 'Liveness'. Biographies: Katie Mitchell is a British theatre director whose unique style and uncompromising methods have divided both critics and audiences. Though sometimes causing controversy, her productions have been innovative and groundbreaking, and have established her as one of the UK’s leading names in contemporary performance. She was born in Berkshire in 1964, grew up in the small village of Hermitage and read English at Magdalen College, Oxford. She began her theatre career in 1986 with a job at the King’s Head Theatre as a production assistant. She became an assistant director at Paines Plough a year later, and then took the same post at the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1988. In 1990, she founded her own company, Classics on a Shoestring, where she directed a number of pioneering and highly acclaimed productions including the House of Bernada Alba and Women of Troy. In the decades with followed, Mitchell worked as an associate director with the Royal Court Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre. Whilst at the RSC, she was responsible for programming at the now defunct black box space, The Other Place, and her production of The Phoenician Women earned her the Evening Standard Award for Best Director. Her numerous theatre credits include 2071 and Night Songs for the Royal Court, The Cherry Orchard for the Young Vic, The Trial of Ubu for Hampstead Theatre, Henry VI Part III (to date her only Shakespeare production) for the RSC and A Woman Killed with Kindness and The Seagull at the National Theatre. She has also directed opera, working with the Royal Opera House and English National Opera. An exponent of Stanislavski techniques and naturalism, her style was strongly influenced by the time she spent working in Eastern Europe early in her career. Her work is characterised by the creation on stage of a highly distinctive environment, the intensity of the emotions portrayed and by the realism of the acting. Mitchell’s work has pushed boundaries and explored technique and, not just confined to the stage, has also taken her into other creative mediums. She has directed for film and television with work including The Widowing of Mrs Holroyd and The Turn of the Screw. In 2011, together with video maker, Leo Warner, Mitchell devised an immersive video installation called Five Truths for the Victoria and Albert Museum which explored the nature of truth in theatrical production. Ben Whishaw is a multi-award winning English actor in film, television, and theatre. He trained at RADA, and his work in theatre quickly brought acclaim including a much-lauded Hamlet at the Old Vic with Trevor Nunn in 2004. He has been directed by Katie Mitchell multiple times, including The Seagull at the National Theatre in 2006, and Norma Jeane Baker of Troy at the Shed in New York last year. In television his work ranges from BAFTA-winning performances in Rupert Goold's Richard II for the BBC in 2012 to A Very English Scandal in 2018. Among many film roles, he is perhaps best known for taking on the part of Q in the Bond films since 2012’s Skyfall and for delighting audiences young and old as the voice of Paddington in the hit movies in 2014 and 2017.

Our resident lax experts Dave Coleman and Steve Holroyd ("Two for the Show") return to help us dig deeper into the largely untold story of the original National Lacrosse League - the seminal mid-70s indoor circuit that helped lay the groundwork for modern-day professionalization of one of North America's oldest organized sports.   Originally conceived by NHL hockey owners as a means of filling their arenas in the off-season summer months, the NLL consisted of six clubs in each of its 1974 (Maryland Arrows, Montreal Quebecois, Philadelphia Wings, Rochester Griffins, Syracuse Stingers, Toronto Tomahawks) and 1975 (Maryland, Montreal, Philadelphia - and the relocated Long Island Tomahawks, Quebec Caribous, and Boston Bolts) season.   While sizable crowds flocked to the league's fast-paced, rough-and-tumble summertime box lacrosse action in Philadelphia, suburban DC's Landover, Maryland, and Montreal - the NLL's other franchises found the going much tougher.    When it came time for a planned third season in 1976, however, three of the league's six clubs were already bankrupt, and the Quebecois were rendered homeless by the Montreal Summer Olympics, which had annexed the Forum as its boxing venue.   There would not be another professional lacrosse league in North America until the birth of the Eagle Pro Box League in January 1987 - the precursor to today's NLL.

Electrophysiological investigation of reward anticipation and outcome evaluation during slot machine play

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.10.08.330654v1?rss=1 Authors: Fryer, S. L., Roach, B. J., Holroyd, C., Paulus, M., Sargent, K., Boos, A., Ford, J., Mathalon, D. H. Abstract: Slot machines are a popular form of gambling, offering a tractable way to experimentally model reward processes. This study used a 3-reel slot paradigm to assess psychologically distinct phases of reward processing, reflecting anticipation, and early and late-stage outcome processing. EEG measures of winning, nearly missing (a losing outcome revealed at the final, third reel), and totally missing (a losing outcome revealed earlier, at the second reel) were collected from healthy adults (n=54). Condition effects were evaluated in: i) event-related potential (ERP) components reflecting anticipatory attention (stimulus preceding negativity, SPN) and outcome processing (reward positivity, RewP and late-positive potential, LPP) and ii) total power and phase synchrony of theta and delta band oscillations. Behaviorally, trial initiation was fastest after a near miss outcome and slowest after a winning outcome. As expected, a significant SPN was observed for possible wins (AA) vs. total misses (AB), consistent with reward anticipation. In addition, significantly larger win (AAA) vs. near miss (AAB) amplitudes were observed for the RewP and LPP to wins and LPP to near misses (vs. total misses) reflecting early and late-stage outcome processing effects. There was an effect of reel position on the RewP, with larger effects in the final reel (AAA-AAB) relative to the 2nd-reel locked difference waves (AA-AB). Across all outcomes, near misses elicited the largest and most phase-synchronized theta responses, while wins elicited larger and more phase-synchronized delta responses than total misses, with near misses not differing from wins or total misses. Phase locking measures contrasting win vs. near miss delta and theta synchronization, within time windows corresponding to ERP measurements, covaried with RewP, but not SPN or LPP, amplitude. Lastly, EEG measures showed differential relationships with age and self-reported consummatory pleasure. In the context of slot machine play, where reward anticipation and attainment place minimal demands on effort and skill, ERP and time-frequency methods capture distinct neurophysiological signatures of reward anticipation and outcome processing.

Abstract: Since routine action sequences can share a great deal of similarity in terms of their stimulus response mappings, their correct execution relies crucially on the ability to preserve contextual and temporal information (Lashley, 1951). However, there are few empirical studies on the neural mechanism and the brain areas maintaining such information. To address this gap in the literature, we recently recorded the blood-oxygen level dependent (BOLD) response in a newly developed coffee-tea making task (Holroyd et al., 2018). The task involves the execution of 4 action sequences that each feature 6 decision states. Here we report a reanalysis of this dataset using a data-driven approach, namely multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA), that examines context-dependent neural activity across several predefined regions of interest. Results highlight involvement of the inferior-temporal gyrus and lateral prefrontal cortex in maintaining temporal and contextual information for the execution of hierarchically-organized action sequences. Furthermore, temporal information seems to be more strongly encoded in areas over the left hemisphere. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info

Abstract: Background: Reward processing abnormalities may underlie characteristic pleasure and motivational impairments in schizophrenia. Some neural measures of reward processing show strong age-related modulation, highlighting the importance of considering age effects on reward sensitivity. We compared event-related potentials (ERPs) reflecting reward anticipation (stimulus-preceding negativity, SPN) and evaluation (reward positivity, RewP; late-positive potential, LPP) across individuals with schizophrenia (SZ) and healthy controls (HC), with an emphasis on examining effects of chronological age, brain age (i.e., predicted age based on neurobiological measures), and illness phase. Methods: Subjects underwent EEG while completing a slot-machine task for which rewards were not dependent on performance accuracy, speed, or other preparatory demands. Slot-machine task EEG responses were compared between 54 SZ and 54 HC individuals, ages 19 to 65. Reward-related ERPs were analyzed with respect to chronological age, categorically-defined illness phase (early; ESZ versus chronic schizophrenia; CSZ), and were used to model brain age relative to chronological age. Results: Illness phase-focused analyses indicated there were no group differences in average SPN or RewP amplitudes. However, a group x reward outcome interaction revealed that ESZ differed from HC in later outcome processing, reflected by greater LPP responses following loss versus reward (a reversal of the HC pattern). While brain age estimates did not differ among groups, depressive symptoms in SZ were associated with older brain age estimates while controlling for negative symptoms. Conclusions: ESZ and CSZ did not differ from HC in reward anticipation or early outcome processing during a cognitively undemanding reward task, highlighting areas of preserved functioning. However, ESZ showed altered later reward outcome evaluation, pointing to selective reward deficits during the early illness phase of schizophrenia. Further, an association between ERP-derived brain age and depressive symptoms in SZ extends prior findings linking depression with reward-related ERP blunting. Taken together, both illness phase and age may impact reward processing in SZ, and brain aging may offer a promising, novel marker of reward dysfunction that warrants further study.

Parramatta has some of the oldest colonial buildings in Australia and Julie has fought hard to maintain much of its heritage. While Parramatta is building as Sydney's second CBD, Julie has fought to ensure the heritage is not destroyed in the development. Julie has been very vocal on the proposed development within the Cumberland Hospital precinct and the Female Factory site. Julie has fought hard for Parramatta, being a business and residence hub, to get a higher quality broadband network. Some parts of Parramatta have internet speeds as low as 0.14 megabits per second – far slower than the average speed of the Republic of the Congo, which is 1.75 Mbps.

Society for American Soccer History board director Steve Holroyd returns to help us decipher the last decade of the enigmatic second incarnation of the American Soccer League (1933-1983) – the longest-lasting “professional” soccer circuit in US history prior to today’s MLS. A smaller-scaled reboot of the original ASL (1921-33) that, for a time, rivaled the fledgling sport of pro football in terms of fan interest – “ASL II” began its more-modest life playing in the urban centers of the Eastern Seaboard during the height of the Great Depression.  For much of its 50-year existence, the ASL was a relatively loose but heartily competitive amalgam of ethnically-identified clubs concentrated primarily in the immigrant-heavy neighborhoods of the industrial Northeast.  Teams came and went with regularity – and changing identities or even folding in the middle of a season was not uncommon. As the “big league” NASL gained popularity in the early 1970s, the American Soccer League began to expand its geographic footprint and more professionally emulate its younger cousin.  By 1972, the league had mostly abolished its ethnic team names (out: Newark Ukrainian Sitch, New York Greeks; in: New Jersey Brewers, New York Apollo), and league president Eugene Chyzowych began steering the ASL to a more pronounced embrace of American players, while aggressively pursuing national expansion. The league even hired former Boston Celtics basketball legend Bob Cousy as commissioner in a bid to raise the ASL’s national PR profile.  Freely admitting he knew little about soccer, Cousy nevertheless elevated the league’s ambitions – adding franchises to the West Coast by 1976 and relocating league headquarters to media-friendly Manhattan. Still, “America’s Soccer League” was mostly relegated to de facto second division status vs. the bigger-budgeted NASL; it was not uncommon for ASL teams to lose top players to the freer-spending NASL – though a number of aging marquee players like Eusebio, Rildo, and Phil Parkes found the reverse path just as remunerative. Ultimately, the ASL’s major league aspirations were financially unsustainable (just like the NASL’s), and the league collapsed after the 1983 season – ushering in a dark period for the pro game that lasted until the launch of Major League Soccer in 1996.     Thank you VisitArizona.com for sponsoring this week’s episode!

There is good reason why some people don’t want to talk about religion in polite company. Like conversations about politics, discussions about religion all too often set people at odds with each other in ways that are hard to predict and difficult to control. For all the controversy involved with such debate, this book invites the reader to engage with an ethical appraisal of religion(s) as they are practised today. It is written in the belief that this is an important dialogue for our time. It claims, despite the emotive character of the subject, that the free exchange of ideas and experience between people of differing views and commitments can with practice generate more light than heat. Particular effort is made to answer the question: how can we fairly evaluate the ethical character of religion(s)? It focuses especially but not at all exclusively on the religions of Christianity and Islam, being critical of them in many respects; but it also offers sharp rebuke to some of the perspectives of Richard Dawkins and others among the new atheists.

Professional union labor lawyer and Society for American Soccer History sports historian Steve Holroyd returns to the podcast to go deep into one of the more curious rabbit holes in North American Soccer League history. In early 1977, Ed Garvey, a labor lawyer and head of the newly-formed National Football League Players Association (NFLPA), recruited Washington Diplomats midfielder John Kerr to help gauge interest among his teammates and those of other clubs in forming a similar organization for the suddenly ascendant ten-year-old NASL.  By the end of that summer, player representatives from all 18 league clubs agreed in principle to create the North American Soccer League Players Association (NASLPA), and on August 29th, 1977 – the day after the New York Cosmos’ dramatic Soccer Bowl victory over the Seattle Sounders in Pele’s US swan song – officially sought recognition by NASL owners to become the players’ collective bargaining entity. Commissioner Phil Woosnam and league ownership quickly refused, fearing a threat to the still-fragile circuit’s integrity by a group run by a union of the NFL, with whom NASL owners already had a tenuous (and in the cases of Ft. Lauderdale’s Robbie and Dallas’ Hunt families, common ownership) relationship.      With no progress towards recognition of the union either during the subsequent off-season or the next year, members of the NASLPA finally voted 252-113 to strike against ownership – announcing its intention to do so on April 13, 1979, one day before the league’s second weekend slate of regular season games. What transpired next was five unprecedented days of confusion (would foreign imports risk deportation by playing during an American player work stoppage?); desperation (coaches Eddie McCreadie [Memphis] and Ron Newman [Ft. Lauderdale] donning uniforms to help their strike-depleted teams); naiveté (unwitting fans seeking Rochester Lancer “player” autographs during last-minute replacement tryouts); and ultimately, miscalculated futility – as player resolve waned almost immediately, especially among the association’s non-US residents, who actually made up the majority of the membership. The players’ point had been made, however, and by mid-1984 – through a long series of subsequent court rulings – the NASLPA finally prevailed in its mission to collectively represent players at the bargaining table with league ownership. Ironically, by then, it didn’t matter – the NASL folded in March of 1985.
