In the late quaternary period, from about 50 to 10 thousand years ago, vast populations of large animals died out.  Among them are some of the most iconic of prehistoric creatures -- mammoths, mastodons, woolly rhinoceri, dire wolves, smilodons, giant sloths, cave bears, and on and on.  In North America, more than 70% of species over 40kg (about 100lb) disappeared. In South America, it was even more.  Eurasia and Australia lost most of their large animals, including mammals, birds, and reptiles.What happened?Did the opportinistic pathogen known as Homo sapiens sapiens wipe them out?  Or was it the climactic upheaval of the ending of the last ice age?  Something else entirely?Lively and ongoing debate surrounds this topic still.  In this episode we go over the theories proposed and the relative merits of each.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-history-of-being-human--5806452/support.

Our guest for this week is Sara Olson.  Sara (her TikTok name is SKEEETAH) is from the Wolf River area of Wisconsin which just happens to hold the highest concentration of the fungus that causes Blastomycosis. When Sara got Blastomycosis in January 2024, she thought it was 'just the flu'.  With a chest xray, she was diagnosed with pneumonia.  Several rounds of antibiotics didn't help so she did a CT scan where they found an embolism.  Still not knowing anything else, they continued treating her for bacterial pneumonia.  They did a swab of her sputum in which her health providers found no bacterial growth, but there was fungal growth.  "For some reason they didn't do fungal testing" she was admitted, released and readmitted all the while she was being treated for bacterial pneumonia.  The final hospitalization had her O2 levels drop to 30 and she was intubated, her family was called to come and say their goodbyes...  You'll have to listen to the interview to learn more.  She is lucky to be alive! Blastomycosis is a fungal infection and was linked to the Little Wolf River in Waupaca County, Wisconsin, during a summer 2015 outbreak.  People who went tubing on the river were exposed to the fungus, with 59 confirmed and 39 probable cases reported according to the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (W-DHS). The fungus, Blastomyces, lives in soil and decaying organic matter, and its spores can become airborne when disturbed. Inhaling these spores can cause blastomycosis, a disease primarily affecting the lungs, though it can spread to other parts of the body. While most blastomycosis cases are sporadic, this outbreak highlighted the need for awareness about this preventable cause of illness.    Key Details about the Outbreak: Cause: The outbreak was attributed to the fungus Blastomyces, which is commonly found in soil and decaying matter.    Exposure: People who participated in river tubing on the Little Wolf River were exposed to the fungus.    Symptoms: Blastomycosis can cause flu-like symptoms, such as fever, cough, muscle aches, and fatigue, but it can also lead to serious health problems if not treated.    Transmission: The infection is not spread from person to person.    Treatment: Blastomycosis can be treated with antifungal medications.    Outbreak Scale: This outbreak was one of the largest in recent Wisconsin history, with 59 confirmed and 39 probable cases.    Prevention: Awareness of the potential for infection is key, especially in areas where the fungus is known to be present.    Additional Information: Endemic Area: Blastomycosis is endemic in the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys, the Great Lakes region, and the southeastern United States according to the CDC.    Symptoms: Common symptoms include cough, fever, chest pain, fatigue, and skin sores.    Risk Factors: Individuals with weakened immune systems or chronic illnesses may be more susceptible to severe illness.    Not Limited to the Wolf River: While the Little Wolf River outbreak was significant, blastomycosis can occur in other areas with suitable environmental conditions.  Blastomyces lives in moist soil in parts of North America. It's too small to see, so you can breathe it into your lungs without knowing it. There, it can grow and make you sick. It sometimes spreads to your skin or other parts of your body. It's hard to avoid breathing in Blastomyces fungus if you live in an area where it's common. While not entirely preventable, there are some steps you can take to reduce your risk of blastomycosis: Avoid disturbing large areas of dirt and dust, especially in areas near water. If your job or hobbies expose you to soil that's likely to contain Blastomyces, wear an N95 (or KN95) respirator mask to help filter the air you breathe.

With the recent passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, also known as the Big Beautiful Bill, significant changes are coming to both solar panel and electric vehicle tax credits.  I break down what these changes mean, how they can affect your savings, and what steps you might want to take before these credits disappear. From figuring out if solar panels make sense for your home to understanding how electric vehicle credits work (and when they're expiring), this episode is packed with actionable insights and tips, especially for those planning for retirement or looking to cut down on monthly expenses. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [01:31] Residential solar panels are popular for reducing electric bills, offering significant savings, especially for retirees. [05:23] Solar tax credits are expiring soon. [09:07] Solar investments offset electric costs and protect against future rate hikes, beneficial long term. [11:28] Costs and break-even of electric cars. [13:08] Act now if you want to take advantage of solar tax credits. The Solar Panel Tax Credit is a Fading Opportunity One of the biggest draws for homeowners considering solar panels has been the significant federal tax credit, currently set at 30% of the total installation cost. This credit has made solar an appealing investment for many, offering a direct dollar-for-dollar reduction in the taxes owed. In high-cost electricity states like Connecticut, this can mean hundreds of dollars in monthly savings on your utility bill. However, the Big Beautiful Bill brings an unfortunate change: the solar tax credit is set to disappear at the end of this year. That means if you've been thinking about going solar, now is the time to act. If you don't install solar panels before the deadline could add years to your payback period, undermining the investment's attractiveness and putting it out of reach for many. Energy Savings of Battery Storage and EVs While solar panels are great for energy savings, adding a battery storage system further enhances their benefits. A battery can store excess solar power for use during peak times or outages, which is particularly helpful for retirees planning to stay in their homes for decades and looking to insulate themselves from rising electricity rates. Electric vehicles (EVs) also offer savings for households with high transportation costs. The federal EV tax credit, worth up to $7,500 on new cars and up to $4,000 for used EVs, has also been a strong motivator for those considering a switch from gas-powered vehicles. The Big Beautiful Bill also changes the EV tax credit, which will disappear even sooner than the solar incentive. Although there are several important limitations: only vehicles assembled in North America qualify, and there's a cap on purchase price ($55,000 for sedans, $80,000 for SUVs). Income limitations apply as well; single filers must earn less than $150,000 ($300,000 for married couples) to claim the new vehicle credit. The used EV credit comes with lower income caps ($75,000 for singles, $150,000 for couples) and is worth up to $4,000.  Should You Act Now?  Before making any big investment, think about the following: Timing: Both solar and EV credits will soon vanish. If you want the tax break, don't wait. Financial Health: The best return comes from paying cash, not financing or tapping retirement accounts. Long-term Plans: Solar and EV investments make the most sense if you plan to stay in your home and keep your vehicle for years to come. Manufacturers may eventually lower prices as credits disappear, but there are no guarantees. With energy incentives set to change dramatically, the window to maximize savings is closing fast. For homeowners and future retirees, the time to act is now, whether that means installing solar, purchasing an EV, or both. Consult with a financial advisor to consider how these decisions fit into your overall retirement and financial readiness strategy. The Treasury Department's official list of eligible vehicles shows that the cars, trucks, minivans, and SUVs listed below qualify for a full $7,500 tax credit if placed in service between January 1 and September 30 of 2025.   In some cases, only certain trim levels or model years qualify. More vehicles may be added to or removed from this list as manufacturers continue to submit information on whether their vehicles are eligible.

In this episode of the Accelerate Golf Podcast, I sit down with Paul Ollinger — stand-up comedian, best-selling author, and former Facebook exec — for a wildly entertaining and insightful conversation that spans ambition, risk-taking, and the surprising overlap between golf and comedy.   Paul shares his bold leap from a high-powered tech career (he was Facebook's VP of Sales in the early days) to life on the stand-up stage — performing at top clubs and festivals across North America. We talk about his unique comedy shows at private country clubs, what makes golf such fertile ground for humor, and why laughter might be the best strategy in the game.   We also dive into Paul's Reasonably Happy Podcast, where he explores the complex relationship between money and meaning. Expect thoughtful reflections on success, the itch for “more,” and how golf teaches us as much about life as it does about swing mechanics.   If you're into golf, comedy, or redefining what success looks like — this is a conversation you won't want to miss.   Connect with Paul https://www.paulollinger.com/ The Reasonably Happy podcast https://www.paulollinger.com/podcast The book https://www.amazon.com/dp/0997270659 Paul Ollinger's Substack https://words.paulollinger.com/   Presented by: QSchool Sports https://qschoolsports.com Music: Intro and outro by Infraction Music – “Silent Night.”   Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-accelerate-golf-podcast/id1723899077 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2lF07BOS0y7fIxoxoSxEAk Website: https://accelerategolf.com/podcast/ YouTube: https://youtu.be/JWeCxlPLpBQ   #AccelerateGolfPodcast #GolfPodcast #GolfLife #StandUpComedy #GolfAndComedy #Entrepreneurship #PursuitOfHappiness #GolfCulture #ReasonablyHappy

Summertime is a great time to spy butterflies in your backyard or in meadows across Virginia. Unfortunately, their numbers are declining.

In this episode, Jeff and Becky welcome researchers Dr. Orley “Chip” Taylor and Dr. Gard Otis to discuss their fascinating work on drone congregation areas (DCAs)—the mysterious gathering points where honey bee drones meet virgin queens for mating. The conversation explores how DCAs are located, the behavioral cues that guide drones, and what these sites can tell us about colony genetics, health, and evolution. Drawing from decades of fieldwork and scientific inquiry, Chip and Gard share insights into how these high-stakes mating events unfold, what makes a DCA stable over time, and why understanding these areas is important for breeders and beekeepers alike. They also reflect on the challenges of observing this elusive part of the honey bee life cycle and share stories from their field studies across North America and beyond. This episode offers a rare window into a little-understood but critical aspect of honey bee biology. Whether you're a backyard beekeeper curious about queen mating or a researcher interested in honey bee genetics, this conversation deepens our understanding of what happens when drones take flight.

Thanks to Maryjane and Siya for their suggestions this week! Further reading: Look, don't touch: birds with dart frog poison in their feathers found in New Guinea The hooded pitohui: The rufous-naped bellbird: The regent whistler: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to learn about some birds that by human standards seem pretty mean, although of course the birds are just being birds. Thanks to Maryjane and Siya for their suggestions this week! We'll start with Maryjane's suggestion, the Northern shrike. It lives in North America, spending winter in parts of Canada and the northern United States. In summer it migrates to northern Canada. It's a lovely gray and black bird with a dark eye streak, white markings on its tail and wings that flash when it flies, and a hooked bill. It's a strong bird about the size of an American robin, and both the male and female sing. They will sometimes imitate other bird songs, and during breeding season a pair will sing duets. The Northern shrike looks very similar to the loggerhead shrike that lives farther south, in the southern parts of Canada and throughout most of the United States and Mexico. Most important to us today, the Northern shrike is sometimes called the butcher bird, because in the olden days, butchers would hang meat up to cure--but we'll get to that part. It prefers to live in the edges of a forest near open spaces, and in the summer it lives along the border of the boreal forest and tundra. While it's just a little songbird, in its heart it's a falcon or hawk. It eats a lot of insects and other invertebrates, especially in summer, but it mainly kills and eats other songbirds and small mammals like mice and lemmings, even ones that are bigger and heavier than it is. The shrike has ordinary feet for a perching bird, not talons, but its feet are strong and can hold onto struggling prey. Its beak is deadly to small animals. The bill has a sharp hook at the end and is notched so that it has two little projections that act like fangs. It will hover and drop onto its prey, or grab a bird in mid-flight and bear it to the ground to kill it. Sometimes it will hop along the ground until it startles a bird or insect into flying away. It will even flash the white patches on its wings to frighten hidden prey into moving. If the shrike kills a wasp or bee, it will remove the stinger before eating it. It will pick off the wings of large insects and will sometime beat a dead insect against a rock or branch to soften it up and break off parts of the hard exoskeleton before eating it. Shrikes are territorial and will chase away birds that are much bigger than them, like ducks and even geese. During nesting season, the female takes care of the eggs and the male provides food for her. To prove that he can provide lots of food for the female while she's incubating the eggs, he will cache food throughout his territory in advance. This is something shrikes do anyway, but it's especially important during nesting season. If a shrike catches an animal it doesn't want to eat right away, it will store it for later. It will cram it into a crack in a rock, impale it on a thorn or other sharp item like the points of a barbed wire fence, or wedge it into the fork of a tree branch. Then it can come back and eat it in a day or two when it's hungry, or take the food to its mate. When the eggs hatch, both parents help feed the babies. When the babies are old enough to leave the nest, the parents go their separate ways, but they will often each take some of the fledglings with them so they can continue to feed them and help them learn to hunt. Since a nest can have as many as nine babies, it's not always possible for one parent to take all the babies. The siblings stick together even once they're mostly grown and independent, often through their first winter.

January 18, 1604: King James, a Protestant, announces that he will commission an English translation of the Bible.January 16, 1605: Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote is published in Spain. It is considered to be the first modern novel. Every sophisticated storytelling device used by the best writers today made its initial debut in Don Quixote.February 28, 1605: A 41-year-old Italian named Galileo publishes an astronomical text written as an imagined conversation. A pair of Paduan peasants talk about Kepler's Supernova.One says, “A very bright star shines at night like an owl's eye.”And the other replies, “And it can still be seen in the morning when it is time to prune the grapevines!”The observations of the peasants clearly disprove the widely held belief that the earth is the center of the universe. The authorities take note. Uh-oh for Galileo.November 1, 1605: Shakespeare's Othello is first performed for King James in the banqueting hall at Whitehall Palace in London.Meanwhile, a group of English Roman Catholics stack 36 barrels of gunpowder under the floor of the Palace of Westminster. Their plan is to blow up the king, his family, and the entire legislature on November 5, 1605.The Gunpowder Plot is discovered by a night watchman just a few hours before Guy Fawkes was to have lit the fuse.Shakespeare immediately begins writing a new play. In it, a ruler gives enormous power to those who flatter him, but his insanity goes unnoticed by society. “King Lear” is regularly cited as one of the greatest works of literature ever written.May 13, 1607: One hundred and four English men and boys arrive in North America to start a settlement in what is now Virginia. They name it “Jamestown” after King James. The American Experiment has begun.Don Quixote, Galileo, Shakespeare, the crisis of King James, and the founding of Jamestown in the New World…All of this happens within a span of just 28 months. Flash forward…May 2, 1611: The English Bible that will be known as the King James Version is published.April 23, 1616: Shakespeare and Cervantes – the great voices of England and Spain – die just a few hours apart. (Galileo continues until 1642.)July 4, 1776: The 13 colonies of the American Experiment light a fuse of their own and the Revolutionary War engulfs the Atlantic coast.November 19, 1863: Abraham Lincoln looks out over a field of 6,000 acres. He says,“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.”Lincoln ends his speech one minute later. His hope is that “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”Lincoln's fear is that “the people” will not remain firmly united enough to resist the takeover of a tyrant. We know this because he opens his speech by referring to our 1776 Declaration which rejected crazy King George. America had escaped George's heavy-handed leadership just –”four...

Although different attributes of our behavior and attitudes, kindness and gentleness are closely related. Both convey a sweet attitude toward others. Kindness is an act as well as an attitude.

At the heart of The Prophets' vision are “The 24 Essential Supply Chain Processes.” What are they? Find out, and see the future yourself. Click here “Just tell us why you're making changes.” That simple request from a Tier 2 supplier at an AIAG conference says everything about where the automotive supply chain still struggles.The supply base still faces a lack of basic communication. Data is also slow to move, locked in outdated systems, or scattered across formats. Catena-X aims to address these issues.In this episode, Jan Griffiths, Jim Liegghio, and Terry Onica sit down with Kevin Piotrowski, Chief Transformation Officer at AIAG, to talk about what Catena-X really is and what it means for the future of the automotive supply chain.Kevin explains what Catena-X does. It's a network that allows companies to share complex data across the entire supply chain, up and down multiple tiers. Catena-X is encrypted, controlled, and designed to enable suppliers and customers to decide who sees what. It's not your usual point-to-point system; it's built for multi-tier collaboration.The group gets into real examples. One supplier used Catena-X to calculate carbon footprint using actual data instead of averages and found a 46% drop in reported emissions. And no, Catena-X isn't replacing EDI. Kevin clarifies that EDI still works well for structured transactions like shipment notices. Catena-X handles everything that doesn't fit neatly into that box—data that needs to be shared for visibility, not stored or processed.They also talk about supplier overload, where small raw materials suppliers get hit with hundreds of requests for the same information. Catena-X could solve that by allowing assessments and surveys to be shared once, securely, across customers.This isn't just a European project. It's a global standard, and AIAG is helping drive its rollout in North America. OEMs, suppliers, and solution providers are already getting involved, with pilot projects and certifications underway.The episode closes with a message to listeners: this is just the start. There's more to cover, and the team wants to hear your questions. If you want to know something about Catena-X, now's the time to ask.Themes discussed in this episode:The need to fix basic communication gaps in the automotive supply chainHow Catena-X enables secure, multi-tier data sharing across suppliers and OEMsThe importance of real-time data in automotive supply chainsWhy traditional data systems can't keep up with today's global supply chainsThe difference between structured EDI and Catena-X's complex data exchangeHow Catena-X helps contain quality issues before they become costly recallsThe critical role of encrypted, permission-based access in protecting supply chain IPWhat tech providers need to know about Catena-X certification and readinessFeatured on this episode:Name: Kevin PiotrowskiTitle: Chief Transformation Officer (CTO) at Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG)About: Kevin serves as Chief Transformation Officer at AIAG, where he leads enterprise-wide transformation for the world's largest global automotive association. With decades of leadership experience in both automotive and manufacturing, including senior roles at Infor and AIAG, Kevin has built a reputation for driving innovation, strengthening collaboration, and advancing data integration across complex supply chains. His expertise spans process improvement, global operations, and large-scale technology adoption, and he's playing a key role in...

Today's Lake and Shed framed conversation is about J. K. Rowling's first “original screenplay,” Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Nick does his signature deep dive into the history of the Fantastic Beasts film franchise's origins in Warner Brothers' determination to keep the Wizarding World profit-pillar in their portfolio alive after the last Harry Potter adaptation — and Rowling's equal determination that they not use their copyright privilege to muck up her legacy with an Indiana Jones meets Crocodile Dundee knock-off. John takes the Shed pole in the conversation and shares his months long pursuit of the shooting text screenplay, the actual last screenplay over which Rowling had control. He lays out the (1) twelve scenes that were cut from that shooting script by Steven Kloves, David Heyman, and David Yates as they “fit the woman to the dress” of Hollywood blockbuster formula, and (2) how it made a mess of the movie's chiastic integrity. Hat tip to Kelly Loomis!New to the Lake and Shed Kanreki Birthday series? Here's what we're doing:On 31 July 2025, Joanne Murray, aka J. K. Rowling and Robert Galbraith, will be celebrating her 60th birthday. This celebration is considered a ‘second birth' in Japan or Kanreki because it is the completion of the oriental astrological cycle. To mark JKR's Kanreki, Dr John Granger and Nick Jeffery, both Nipponophiles, are reading through Rowling's twenty-one published works and reviewing them in light of the author's writing process, her ‘Lake and Shed' metaphor. The ‘Lake' is the biographical source of her inspiration; the ‘Shed' is the alocal place of her intentional artistry, in which garage she transforms the biographical stuff provided by her subconscious mind into the archetypal stories that have made her the most important author of her age. You can hear Nick and John discuss this process and their birthday project at the first entry in this series of posts: Happy Birthday, JKR! A Lake and Shed Celebration of her Life and Work.Tomorrow? It's back to a book we know was written by Joanne Murray, aka Robert Galbraith, Lethal White, the fourth Cormoran Strike novel. Nick promises to lay out the tensions between classes and castes in this book and how the story told reflects those tensions in Rowling's own life. John is set to discuss how Ibsen's Rosmersholm, the source of this book's epigraphs, is also a story template for this turning point of the first seven books. Stay tuned!

So there are definitely some ethics things we need to talk about in regards to AI. Intellectual property rights have long been an issue in the yoga space (I can't be the only one who has had stuff blatantly stolen), and this issue carries over to AI.Key Takeaways:*Labor unions are a particular love of mine. I have a deep desire to see us collectively organize within North America so that we can be better informed and advocate for ourselves in the world. I think this is especially important for us in the yoga therapy space as we slide into so many different and diverse places that seek to use our tools (like meditation, breathwork, and lifestyle and philosophy principles) to improve the live for humans they see and interact with.*Why would you work so hard to be part of a system that isn't working??? YES. This can be true for healthcare, toxic yoga studio spaces, and training programs that are not run ethically. Don't get me wrong, I *totally* have been a part of a toxic yoga space, but the desire that yoga and yoga therapy as an industry has to integrate into a system that isn't looking to the best interest of the humans who use it, is…well…not us. Some might call it gross or appropriative, even. *Let's talk about this idea of AI not being able to generate a personalized program. I think that it won't be too long before AI absolutely can do that. And I mean, like, next Tuesday. So what else are we offering besides the ability to personalize a program? Maybe it is less about the personalization of the program and more about being seen as a whole person by another human in front of you.*The joy of the struggle is something that has come up several times on this series, and was first mentioned in episode one by J Brown. There IS something to us struggling through finding ideas, and learning to be a better yoga professional. I can now say, with confidence, that I have done everything there is to do in the yoga space. Yoga teacher, therapist, studio owner, non-profit founder, trainer, writer, speaker. Do we have an EGOT? Cuz I think I have it. And no matter the number of times people have asked me “how did you do all that”, my answer is always “be so good your work is undeniable”. And you don't get good if you don't struggle. *The perspective that Melissa brings about yoga therapy and hours of work per week is a really important one. She is right—most yoga therapists are working at max 15 hours a week. Because the work is incredibly difficult, especially as we strive to be incredibly present with our clients. So maybe we need to be discussing that a little bit more as an industry whole, eh? *YOGA HAS A POVERTY PROBLEM. This is gonna be a key takeaway every time I say it on the podcast. The difference between poverty and scarcity is this: *Using AI to create trainings!! How are the organizations that certify our trainings and making sure that they are actual humans writing training manuals? As Melissa said, “doing the work is a part of your profession as an ethical human being”. Yeah, that times 20000. *Protecting our intellectual property is something that we should be talking about and training our students about. Maybe I should find someone to consult and make best practices for intellectual property management for the yoga community, eh? That feels like something we desperately need. *Our humanity and connection with each other will be something that is not replicable by tech or AI. If you have ever interacted with an LLM (large language model) AI, you will notice that they are programmed for likeability. Have you ever thought to yourself, “This is the most girly-pop AI I have ever met?”. I sure have. But true likeability and connection don't feel false, true trust involves questioning people's thought process if they need it, and being truly seen and known as a human is something that is a core need of all people.RESOURCESWorking In Yoga WebsiteWorking In Yoga NewsletterTell Us A Story!

【聊了什么】 在上一期的节目中，我们讨论了刚刚赢得民主党纽约市长初选的新生力量马姆达尼。我们在播客中也提到，如果马姆达尼能够在11月击败其他候选者，成为纽约市长的话，将不可避免地要和州长、市议会、州议会、NYPD等等多方势力和利益团体打交道，来实现自己的承诺，也不可避免的要进行妥协。马姆达尼在竞选中喊出了要实现纽约公交免费的目标，如果要实现这一目标，就需要和掌管纽约地铁、公交和通勤铁路的纽约大都会运输署，也就是MTA打交道。 纽约作为的全球最知名的大都会、全美最大城市，却承载着一套“老旧且脆弱”的公共交通基础设施。技术和资金壁垒固然是常见的制约因素，但这座城市独特的制度基因才是影响基建发展的关键。 在这期番外节目中，嘉宾罗雨翔就从纽约地铁为什么这么烂讲起，分析了纽约城市发展背后的政治与经济。这期番外播客剪辑于第214期纽约文化沙龙的录音，由罗雨翔于2025年4月13日主讲。罗雨翔此前也做过另一期和纽约相关的节目《纽约的房价到底为什么这么高？》，两期播客都发布在我们的友台《选修课》上，也欢迎大家前去收听，并关注这档播客。 如果你对这期节目内容感兴趣，请关注主讲人罗雨翔的新书《创造大都会——纽约空间与制度观察》！国内各大平台均有销售（淘宝、当当、京东），海外用户请使用这个链接购买。 【支持我们】 如果喜欢这期节目并希望支持我们将节目继续做下去： 也欢迎加入我们的会员计划： https://theamericanroulette.com/paid-membership/ 会员可以收到每周2-5封newsletter，可以加入会员社群，参加会员活动，并享受更多福利。 合作投稿邮箱：american.roulette.pod@gmail.com 【时间轴】 00:07:33 纽约房价数据及其成为社会和政治议题 00:11:23 纽约没有总体规划，而是通过分区（Zoning）来管理城市开发 00:18:02 90%的开发项目无需审批 00:26:19 通过Hudson Yards项目分析纽约政府在推动开发中的重要作用 00:34:44 经济适用房（Affordable Housing） 00:42:55 开发商建设经济适用房的盈利模式及其对整体房价的影响 【我们是谁】 选修课 Universus 是一档分享和探讨泛文化话题的中文播客，脱胎于2013年创办的纽约文化沙龙。 我们力求引发对学科方法和视角的认知和思考，而不仅仅是知识的传递。我们在组织活动的过程中积累了一些经验和人脉，尝试打造成年人的博雅教育，并在播客中拓展这样的探索。我们希望审视和反抗无意识的价值规训与随波逐流。我们希望冷酷地剖析自己的偏见，热忱地拥抱多元视角。我们希望去工具化，真诚地感知、理解、创造自己的生活和复杂的世界。我们追随原初的好奇而非代餐式的猎奇。话题可以轻松，方法力求严肃。在《选修课》里，我们互相映照，唤醒失落的维度。 主播： 老赵：理论物理学博士，软件工程师，纽约文化沙龙组织者。 主讲： 罗雨翔：美国注册城市规划师，哈佛大学与伦敦政治经济学院建筑与经济双硕士。现居纽约，参与以及主持北美20余地区的地产开发、区域经济政策与公共领域投资项目。 【 What We Talked About】 New York City's housing prices have long been a focal point of public attention. Over time, the rise in housing prices has become not just an economic phenomenon, but a complex and profound social issue involving multiple factors. As a global financial center and cultural hub, New York City has attracted a large influx of people and business activities, leading to a continuous increase in housing demand. Beyond the macroeconomics, New York's unique planning policies and land development rules have also had a profound impact on housing prices. At the same time, rising housing prices have led to changes in the city's social structure, challenging local residents with rising housing costs and deteriorating living conditions, sparking widespread discussions about social equity and economic development? How does the government negotiate with developers? Why does New York have a cityscape where skyscrapers coexist with old buildings? How is affordable housing developed in New York? What restrictions and subsidies does the government have for development projects? What impact do high housing prices have on social structure and cultural atmosphere?

The past decade of organizing events and talks put us in a position of creating a sort of liberal arts education experience for those who have left school. We strive to go beyond merely transmitting knowledge to reflecting on complex topics using cross-disciplinary perspectives. We strive to resist conformity, to dissect our own biases, and to embrace diverse schools of thought. Our goal is to help professionals resist becoming just a tool of production, and to understand the world around us in earnest. We let our genuine curiosity be our guide. With a light-hearted tone, we approach each topic seriously. We hope that “选修课 Universus” creates a space to explore lost dimensions. Hosted by: Lao Zhao: PhD in Theoretical Physics, software engineer, and organizer of the New York Cultural Salon. Guest: Luo Yuxiang: U.S. Registered Urban Planner, holding dual master's degrees in Architecture and Economics from Harvard University and the London School of Economics. Currently residing in New York, he has participated in and led over 20 real estate development, regional economic policy, and public domain investment projects across North America.

A “SLIDE SHOW STORY” published by The Telegraph in 2009 told a grim story of a coordinated series of terror attacks that resulted in martial law and a new Union of North America. Operation Blackjack trended again on social media a few weeks ago because of the dates in the story, which begins on June 20. We revisit the original account, which (spoilers) laid out a scenario in which horrific false flag attacks are blamed on “Islamists and Christian doomsday cultists” (as if violent Muslims and so-called Christians would work together, but whatever). The remnant of government steps in, cracks down on civil liberties and forms a new government. The story went viral in 2009, but would get even more traction today because social media plays a much larger role in society today than it did sixteen years ago. Add to this volatile social engineering experiment the role of artificial intelligence to manipulate the content we consume (and our growing reliance on AI to tell us whether what we see online is true), and we have a recipe for deception on a global scale. At the time, we wondered about the purpose of a respected legacy media outlet like The Telegraph in publishing something like Operation Blackjack. We asked whether it was a viral marketing campaign for a movie or TV program, a poorly drawn web comic, or a PSYOP. In the years since, we've settled on PSYOP. Here's the link to our 2009 program on Operation Blackjack: https://pidradio.com/2009/06/18/pid-radio-61809-blackjack/. And here's a link to a YouTube video with all five parts of the Operation Blackjack slide show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uvd91OU_Jbo We also discuss Elon Musk's AI, Grok, going full-on fascist this week; the recent deadly crash of an Air India airliner and a report that fuel to the engines was cut shortly after takeoff; and conspiracies about the deadly flash floods in Texas on July 4th (there's a reason the Texas hill country is called Flash Flood Alley).

For Jordan Childs, cofounder and head brewer of the U.K.-based brand Mash Gang (https://mashgang.com), you don't hit the right balance in nonalcoholic beer by nudging a traditional beer recipe one way or another. “The best beers feel like a cohesive collection of a bunch of spiky parts pulling apart from each other,” he says. “The outlier flavors are what make craft beer interesting.” If there's a method for making nonalcoholic beer, he's tried it, and in this episode he shares the ingredients and processes that don't make great beer—as well as those that do. Along the way, Childs discusses: their iterative creative process of testing, learning, trashing, and brewing again filling the gaps left by the absence of ethanol deliberately choosing poorly attenuating ingredients how ethanol removal is responsible for “a lot of bad beer” taking a low-intervention approach to nonalcoholic beer controlling sugar at a finite level and doing everything wrong, on purpose using modern hop products and modern food products for greater control hops that do and don't work in nonalcoholic beer avoiding the unfermented wort character food safety in the nonalcoholic context And more.
