Growth should feel like momentum. For most nonprofit leaders between $1M and $3M, it feels like barely surviving — because the organization was built for a prior stage and never structurally redesigned for the current one. Brooke Richie-Babbage calls this the Design Deficit: the measurable gap between an organization's structural capacity and what its next stage of growth actually requires. In this episode, Brooke walks through why this gap exists, why resourceful leaders unintentionally mask it, and what it takes to close it. She introduces the Stability Flywheel — three architectural pillars (Capital Engine, Capacity Matrix, Clarity Compass) that must work together for an organization to sustain growth. Listeners will learn how to diagnose which pillar is stalling their flywheel, what institution-building actually requires, and how to shift from holding the organization together personally to designing one that holds itself.What You'll Learn:The Design Deficit and why it's predictable, not personal — why organizations built at $400K buckle at $1.5M and how to recognize the structural strain before it becomes a crisis.The three pillars of the Stability Flywheel — Capital Engine, Capacity Matrix, and Clarity Compass — and the specific signals that indicate which one is stalling your organization's growth.How to shift from operator to architect — the practical difference between holding an organization together and designing one that can hold itself, including the single reframe that changes every decision about hiring, systems, and CEO time.Key Takeaways:The Design Deficit is a predictable stage, not a leadership failure. When a nonprofit grows past its original structural design, leaders experience strain that feels personal — but the real cause is an architecture that was never updated for the current stage. This happens because the same resourcefulness that built the organization actively masks the infrastructure gaps beneath it.An organization that is growing is not the same as an organization built to sustain growth. Most nonprofits between $1M and $3M function because of the people in them, not the design beneath them. At this stage, nonprofit leaders must transition from operating inside the machine to redesigning it — the Operator-to-Architect shift.The Stability Flywheel stalls at the weakest pillar — and strengthening the other two won't fix it. Capital, Capacity, and Clarity reinforce each other when all three work. When one breaks, the others compensate — and the leader absorbs the difference personally. The most effective approach is to identify the weakest pillar and start there.Want to work together?

Five scientists were escorted out of a diabetes conference by police for handing out a scientific paper — published in the host's own journal. By the time the American Diabetes Association finished explaining itself, its president and president-elect had resigned, and the editorial those five hoped 200 people might read had 76,000 views.Everyone is covering the removal. Molly is covering the two statements that came after it — the apology that blamed the people it was apologizing to, the peace-offering email that arrived days after an arrest threat, and the moment the ADA's response became a bigger story than the thing it was responding to.Chapters:0:00 — The PR Breakdown Live: New Format, One Deep-Dive Crisis1:43 — Why the American Diabetes Association Story Is Personal: Type 1 Diabetes and a Donor's Stake3:03 — The One-Sentence Version: ADA Removes Five of Its Own Scientists6:07 — ADA Scientific Sessions in New Orleans and the NIH Keynote Spark8:56 — Keynote Canceled for a Trump Meeting: Members Mobilize12:06 — Friday June 5: The Diabetes Care Editorial Handout12:57 — Police Remove the New Orleans Five: Why Optics Always Win14:25 — The Scott Pelley CBS Parallel: Making It About Policy and Procedure19:31 — The ADA's First Statement: Policy Defense and a Blaming Apology29:18 — Own It, Explain It, Promise It: The Indestructible PR Framework31:07 — The Badge Offer Backfires: An Olive Branch on Fire36:14 — Running the Crisis Playbook Backwards41:33 — Two Crisis Traps: Protecting the Institution and Playing the Victim43:45 — The Media Data: 24 to 86 Articles and 60% Negative Sentiment46:27 — The Resignations: ADA President and President-Elect Step Down50:41 — How the ADA Recovers: The Courageous Leadership Playbook

Fatherhood is evolving. Today, modern fathers are discovering both the joy and challenge of parenting with emotional presence, shared caregiving, and deeper connection, even as they juggle work–life balance, fatigue, and changing expectations. Holding multiple identities—as a son, husband, father, friend, and employee—can feel demanding, especially when life's rhythm keeps shifting.Host Aaron speaks with young fathers Daniel Lopez and Benedict Ng about early fatherhood, dads' mental health, self‑doubt, and support within community life. Presence matters more than perfection. Parenting isn't meant to be walked alone.As Daniel reflects, “Learning to do life again in a vastly different form, and to be completely available while struggling with my own capacity.”Parenting comes without a manual. Every child reshapes the fatherhood journey. Benedict shares, “It's okay to fail at the start. I needed to hear that—otherwise, you think you have to be the perfect dad already.”To every father listening: you matter too.--Available for download: Fatherhood Survival 101 - A Guide To A Mentally Healthier YouIf this conversation resonates with you, explore more Fatherhood episodes through the links below.Parenting from a Place of WholenessWhat I WIsh My Daughter KnewA Good Father - What Does it Entail?--If you have enjoyed this episode, please leave us a rating and review on Spotify, Apple Podcast or Podchaser.

As we move into Ordinary Time, this Sunday in Ireland we have the beautiful feast of Corpus Christi. So on this week's programme, we bring out a reflection from our old colleague Lorraine Buckley who shares with us some thoughts on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi originally in 2019. In part one, we have our regular run through the liturgical odds and ends including the Pope's Prayer Intention for June 2026 and the saints for the week.In part two, Lorraine's reflection on Corpus Christi begins by taking us through a history of the feast which owes its existence to Blessed Juliana of Liege, who began devotion to the Blessed Sacrament in around 1230. Largely through her insistence, in 1264 Pope Urban IV commanded its observance by the universal church. While the Church celebrates the Institution of the Eucharist at the Last Supper on Holy Thursday because it falls within the solemn and reflective time of the Easter Triduum, Juliana wanted to encourage a joyful celebration of this great gift of our Divine Master to the Church and to the world. The Feast sums up three important confessions about our Faith. First is that God became physically present in the person of Christ, True God and True Man. Secondly, God continues to be present in His people as they form the Mystical Body of Christ in his church. And thirdly, the presence of God under the form of bread and wine is made available to us on the altar at Mass and preserved there for our nourishment and worship. Lorraine also reflects on why the Real Presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is so important to us through the Eucharistic hymns of the Tantum Ergo, Ave Verum Corpus, and Godhead Here in Hiding (Adoro Te Devote).In part three we have our weekly reflection on the Sunday Gospel which is from John's discourse on the Bread of Life (John 6:51-58).Local Notices Dates5th - 13th June - Kilmallock Parish Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help10th - 12th June - Triduum to the Sacred Heart of Jesus at Robertstown Church in St Senan's Parish on N69.19th - 27th June - Limerick's Solemn Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help at the Redemptorist Church in Limerick city11th July - Limerick Diocesan Pilgrimage to Knock24th - 29th October - Limerick Youth Pilgrimage to Assis and RomeText us at +353 874668950 or email at comeandseeinspirtaions@gmail.com

Moderation Martin Gross/Gesendet in Ö1 am 5.6.2026++Am Samstagvormittag wird Papst Leo XIV zu seiner bisher längsten Auslandsreise in Spanien eintreffen. (Josef Manola)++Der Antisemitismus in Deutschland ist drastisch angestiegen. Dagegen soll jetzt strenger juristisch vorgegangen werden, fordert die hessische Landesregierung und will die Leugnung des Existenz-Rechtes des Staates Israel unter Strafe stellen. Das stößt auf Zustimmung aber auch auf Kritik, weil es der Meinungs-Freiheit widerspreche. (Andreas Jölli)++Den Karfreitag als Feiertag für alle fordert ein Volksbegehren, das vom 15. bis 22. Juni zur Unterzeichnung aufliegt. Die evangelische Bischöfin Cornelia Richter hat heute gegenüber dem Evangelischen Pressedienst Verständnis für das private Volksbegehrens gezeigt. Die Evangelische Kirche als Institution unterstütze das Volksbegehren allerdings nicht direkt, weil die Komplexität aller Aspekte über das Volksabegehren hinausgingen.

Dysfunktional und doch aus Sicht vieler unverzichtbar: Der UN-Sicherheitsrat ist angesichts ständiger Blockaden durch Russland und China immer weniger ein Gremium, das die Welt sicherer macht. Trotz dieser Krise kämpft Deutschland heute darum, erneut für zwei Jahre einen der begehrten, nichtständigen Sitze im Rat zu erhalten. Hans von der Burchard ist in New York, und unter anderem mit ihm bespricht Gordon Repinski die außenpolitische Bedeutung dieses regelrechten Wettlaufs um den Sitz. Im 200-Sekunden-Interview dazu: die frühere Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock (Grüne). Sie ist die amtierende Vorsitzende der 80. UN-Generalversammlung. Trotz aller Schwierigkeiten und der bisherigen Unfähigkeit zur Reform hält sie die UN für unverzichtbar und erklärt, warum die Welt ohne diese Institution kein Stück besser dran wäre. Mit Pauline von Pezold, Co-Host des POLITICO-Podcasts „Inside AfD“, geht es um das Wirtschaftsforum in St. Petersburg. Dort werden neben deutschen Wirtschaftsvertretern auch vier prominente AfD-Mitglieder anwesend sein und teils auf Panels sprechen. Von Pauline gibt es die Analyse, wie die Reise der vier Männer und die pro-russische Positionierung insgesamt aktuell auch in der AfD wahrgenommen werden.

Parents play a powerful role in helping children stay away from drugs. According to the National Drug Perception Survey, nearly 95% of youths say that having parents who actively talk with them about drug‑related issues has helped them remain drug‑free.In this episode, host Ee Jay speaks with Dr Adrian Loh, spokesperson for the National Council Against Drug Abuse (NCADA) and a Senior Consultant Psychiatrist in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. They explore why drug abuse prevention remains a critical issue for families today—especially as drugs have become more accessible through digital platforms, online messaging, and overseas exposure.The message to parents is clear: start conversations early, with children of any appropriate age, and don't wait for warning signs. Resources are available, and keeping communication open matters. Dr Loh encourages parents to ask open‑ended questions that invite honest sharing. This isn't about fear or control, but about trust, connection, and consistent guidance, helping children build resilience and make safer choices.--If you'd like to explore more ways to have meaningful conversations with your children, you can check out the episodes below.Building a Culture of Mealtime ConversationsHow to Listen and Invite your Kids into Conversation--If you have enjoyed this episode, please leave us a rating and review on Spotify, Apple Podcast or Podchaser.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about something that does not get said directly enough in law enforcement and emergency services: sometimes the environment you work inside of is part of what is making you struggle (Amazon Affiliate). Not the calls. Not the danger. Not the public. The culture inside the walls of your own department. The unwritten rules about who you are supposed to be, how you are supposed to handle things, and what happens when you do not fall in line. This episode takes an honest look at how toxic department culture develops, what it does to the people inside it, and how to protect yourself when the place that is supposed to have your back becomes part of the weight you are carrying.

Gezeugt am 8. Mai 1945, dem Tag als Nazi-Deutschland kapituliert, wächst Tinu Heiniger in Langnau auf. Mit seinem ersten Lied «Es schysst mi a» rebelliert er 1976 gegen die Enge seiner Emmentaler Kindheit und beschreibt, wie schwierig für ihn die Schreinerlehre gewesen ist Zu Hause erlebt er Gewalt («Mi Vater isch quasi jede Tag verruckt worde»), findet aber bei der Mutter Trost und in der Musik seine Freiheit. Nach dem Lehrerseminar (es sollte was Musisches sein) arbeitet Heiniger viele Jahre als Lehrer, bis ihn eine Begegnung mit dem jungen Büne Huber ermutigt, mit Mitte 40 alles auf die Karte Musik zu setzen. Seither ist Heiniger eine Institution der Mundartszene. Er besingt die Heimat, ist mit Stephan Eicher befreundet und sucht trommelnd nach spiritueller Tiefe. Heute blickt der 80-Jährige versöhnlich auf seine Irrungen und Wirrungen zurück. Warum er Ideologien für Krücken hält, was ihn an Bob Dylan fasziniert und wie gelassen er dem «Erdinnern» entgegenlebt, erzählt Heiniger in «Musik für einen Gast» bei Simon Leu. Die Musiktitel: - Bob Dylan: I Contain Multitudes - Hannes Wader: Es ist an der Zeit - Fabrizio de André: Andrea - Tinu Heiniger, Hank Shizzoe, Shirley Grimes: Just a closer walk with thee - Angespielt: Tinu Heiniger: Aut (2015) / Es schysst mi a (1977) / Unterhaltigsbrunz (1979)
Luke 22:20-34 with an excursus on the Institution of the Lord's Supper from the Passover
Pentecost, the wild, untamed unboundaried arrival of the promised Holy Spirit. It' s exciting, and inspiring, launching visions for the future and excitement for the present...and the Institution of the Church. Because, in order to hold on to what is good, there have to be some guardrails. The dance between Inspiration and Institution, Spirit and Stability, Freedom and Fence. It's all there in the text...so dive in.
This episode contains discussions of sexual violence, human trafficking and child abuse. Please listen at your discretion.Have you ever read a headline, felt the rage to make a difference, but didn't know where to start?But an 8-year-old girl acted on it and inspired millions to make a difference, no matter how small In this episode, Tara sits down with Sunitha Krishnan, founder of Prajwala, Asia's largest institution combating sex trafficking, and Padma Shri recipient, to discuss her memoir I Am What I Am. Over three decades, Sunitha and her team have rescued more than 32,000 survivors and prevented 18,000 children from entering the sex trade. This is the story behind all of that. She traces her journey from a 17-year-old with no experience walking into red light areas to building one of the most sophisticated rescue and rehabilitation operations in the world. She talks about what a rescue actually looks like on the ground, speaks candidly about her own experience of gang rape at 15 and why she refused to let it become her entire identity. From being beaten up and accused of kidnapping the very children she was rescuing, and when she had to spend 23 days in jail, the stories of her fearlessness are endless.Tara and Sunitha ji also get into the process of writing the book. She spent 13 days in a hotel room alone with her memories, writing for 14 hours every day. She spent two hours being violently ill as her body released what her mind had been holding for decades, but she didn't leave until every last memory was on the page. Courage can also be contagious. Press play and maybe you'll be inspired to take that step you might've been putting off. ‘Books and Beyond with Bound' is the podcast where Tara Khandelwal and Michelle D'costa uncover how their books reflect the realities of our lives and society today.

The reality of motherhood is filled with deep love and hope, yet it often carries quiet, unseen struggles. From burnout and self‑imposed expectations to the courage it takes to ask for help, it is a journey that stretches the mum in you in unexpected ways.In this special episode on motherhood, June speaks with two mothers at different stages of life. Jasmine Goh, married for 27 years, reflects on raising two young adult sons. Adelene Chan, married for 15 years, shares her experience of parenting three young children.Together, they explore what the process of becoming a better mum truly looks like—not through perfection, but through growth, self‑compassion, and kindness. Their stories remind us that being “good enough” often means letting go, caring for ourselves, and choosing presence over unrealistic ideals. Above all, this conversation offers gentle reassurance: you are learning, you are growing, and you are not alone.--If this conversation resonates with you, explore more Motherhood episodes through the links below.The Journey of Becoming MumWorking Mum Burnout: How do we Recognise the Signs?How can Mums Derive Joy and Security in Motherhood?--If you have enjoyed this episode, please leave us a rating and review on Spotify, Apple Podcast or Podchaser.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about something that is affecting nearly every department across the country right now: the law enforcement (Amazon Affiliate) staffing crisis — and the very real toll it is taking on the officers who remain. Fewer officers means more calls, longer shifts, less recovery time, and an increasing pressure to do more with less. But beyond the logistics, this episode looks at what the staffing crisis is doing to officers emotionally, physically, and relationally — and why those impacts are not being talked about enough.

This "In Brief" section reviews all that we have learned in recent episodes. In the Church, “the faithful" refers to clerics and the laity with various callings in each. Fr. Mike explains how God calls every human being to unity with him. No matter our vocations, we must surrender our lives to the Lord and participate in the priestly, prophetic, and kingly offices of Christ. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 934-945. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Die University of Austin at Texas (UATX) präsentiert sich als „Anti-Harvard“ und verspricht eine Rückkehr zu klassischen Werten sowie eine freie Debattenkultur ohne Angst vor Ausgrenzung. Die Hochschule wurde 2021 von einflussreichen Konservativen gegründet, zu den wichtigsten Geldgebern gehört der Tech-Milliardär Peter Thiel. Doch der Anspruch der ideologiefreien Bildung gerät zunehmend unter Druck. Kritiker und ehemalige Weggefährten warnen bereits vor einem massiven Rechtsruck innerhalb der Institution. Anstatt den offenen Diskurs zu fördern, scheint die Universität zu einem konservativen Spiegelbild jener Einseitigkeit zu werden, die sie eigentlich bekämpfen wollte. Gast: Marie-Astrid Langer, USA-Korrespondentin Host: Alice Grosjean Redaktion: Sarah Ziegler Die [ganze Reportage aus Texas](https://www.nzz.ch/wissenschaft/diese-neue-amerikanische-uni-gibt-sich-als-anti-harvard-ein-ortsbesuch-in-austin-ld.1925224) kannst du in der NZZ nachlesen.

This sermon presents a biblical vision of marriage as a divinely instituted, lifelong union between one man and one woman, rooted in Genesis and reflecting God's good design before sin. It emphasizes that marriage's primary purposes are not personal happiness, but spiritual co-laboring in God's work and the fruitful stewardship of life through procreation, both of which point to deeper eternal realities. The speaker candidly addresses the reality of marital struggle, affirming that tension, difference, and even conflict are not signs of failure but part of God's sanctifying process, where two sinners grow in grace through mutual submission and sacrificial love. While affirming biblical principles like the husband's role as protector and provider and the wife's domestic calling, the sermon stresses that practical expressions of marriage vary widely and are not bound to cultural norms, as long as they reflect Christ-like love and mutual service. Ultimately, marriage is portrayed not as a romantic ideal, but as a sacred, transformative relationship that mirrors the union between Christ and His church, making it a profound means of grace and spiritual growth in this life.
(Host: Christine) In the mid-18th century, the illegitimate son of a British noble was born in France. In the mid-19th century, the Smithsonian Institution was founded in the United States. What do these two seemingly unrelated things have to do with each other? Find out in this week's episode of Footnoting History, as we look at the history of James Smithson–the man behind the creation of the Smithsonian Institution.

America, a land rich in growth and prosperity but also blessed with an abundance of natural beauty, faces a quandary: how to keep its economy flourishing while at the same time safeguarding its environment. It's the topic of the Hoover's Institution's upcoming “Markets vs. Mandates” conference. Terry Anderson, Hoover's John and Jean De Nault Senior Fellow (adjunct) and one of the founders of “free-market environmentalism”, discusses what's on the agenda at the Hoover symposium (tariffs, AI, federal-to-state regulatory shifts) and why tradeoffs are the key to America's future, be it protecting resources, meeting energy needs and keeping the nation on the cutting edge of technology. Anderson points to different regions of the US where markets and mandates butt heads, including his native Montana and nearby Wyoming, Virginia's embrace of energy-guzzling data centers, and a potential lithium bonanza in the Carolinas and parts of New England.
Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger sits down for a candid conversation about the legislative short session and the question everyone in #ncpol is asking: Will the House and Senate actually come together on a new budget? Sen. Berger also reflects on his unsuccessful run for the NC House in 1994, his successful bid for NC Senate six years later, and talks about spending a decade in the minority. We also dig into the pivotal 2010 shift to a Republican majority, Berger's perspective on that transition, and his respect for the way his Democratic predecessor, Sen. Marc Basnight, navigated a change in power. Skye and Brian also run through a packed week in #ncpol: another round of party hopping in the House, budget talks, a brewing dispute over access to water, the passing of a former senator, and a deleted #TOTW salvaged. Along the way, there's also a detour into “slippery when wet” signage at the General Assembly. The Do Politics Better podcast is sponsored by New Frame, the NC Travel Industry Association, the American Heart Association, the NC Pork Council, the NC Realtors, Heal the System NC, and the NC Healthcare Association.
Marriage was never meant to be disposable. In this episode, Dr. John works through Deuteronomy 24:1–5, tackling one of Scripture's most debated passages on divorce — and letting Jesus have the final word. With pastoral honesty and personal reflection, Dr. John explores what God's law truly permits, what it never intended, and why the sanctity of marriage remains one of the most important battles the church must fight today.The Law and Holy Living: The laws of ancient Israel can feel distant and irrelevant to modern readers — but look closer, and you'll find they reveal something timeless about the character of God. In this series on Deuteronomy 18–26, Dr. John works through the detailed national laws given to Israel, uncovering what they teach us about justice, worship, and holy living — and pointing us to the one who came not to abolish the law, but to fulfill it.
This week Brenden challenges us to rediscover what church truly means in our modern world. Drawing from Acts 2:42, we're reminded that the early believers devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, sharing meals, and prayer - not as a checklist, but as a way of being present and belonging to one another. The word 'devoted' here actually means 'to be present, to belong,' which shifts our understanding from mere commitment to authentic connection. We're invited to examine whether we've found our identity in the institution of church or in Jesus himself. The message traces a beautiful thread of temple theology from Genesis to Revelation, showing how God's dwelling place moved from Eden to the tabernacle, to the temple in Jerusalem, to Jesus himself, and finally to us - the church as living temples filled with the Holy Spirit. This isn't just historical information; it's a revolutionary truth that changes everything about how we understand our purpose. We are called to give the world a preview of God's kingdom right now, demonstrating unity that transcends our divisions of race, class, politics, and background. The table becomes a powerful symbol of this unity, where everyone receives the same bread and cup, the same grace and forgiveness. If we've been hurt by church, dissatisfied with religion, or wondering if we still need community, this message offers hope that our dissatisfaction might be exactly what God is using to call us back to authentic, life-giving relationships centered on Jesus.
Louisa Robb grew up in a chaotic and creative household.A dreamer father who never quite landed his visions. A mother pioneering her way through the Australian film and television industry. Dinner parties with actors. No financial safety net. No predictable path.So she built one.Economics degree. Hong Kong. Zurich. UBS. Managing Director. Global COO overseeing thousands of people.She fit the institution. She wore the suit. She prepared, over-prepared, and prepared some more just to feel like she belonged at the table.And for years, it worked.But something kept pulling at her. The creative child who grew up watching her mother break barriers. The woman who kept asking: should we really have to earn the right to be ourselves?What Louisa discovered after two decades at the top of global finance is this: culture is not a values poster on a wall. It is the set of behaviors people believe they must exhibit just to fit in.And that costs everyone. Especially women.The micro-injuries accumulate quietly. The promotions come without support. The networking happens on golf courses and in spaces that were never designed for you. And one by one, talented women disappear from the pipeline.Louisa left banking to fix that. Not with more compliance. Not with more control. But with a mirror, a whiteboard, and tools that finally put a number on what everyone could feel but no one could prove.This conversation goes deep on imposter syndrome, organisational culture, women in leadership, and what it really means to lead on your own terms.One of the most honest and grounded conversations I have had on this show.I hope it stays with you.Apply to work with me: https://www.michaelxcampion.com/Connect with me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelxcampion/Guest - Louisa Robb (https://www.linkedin.com/in/louisa-robb/)Louisa Robb is the Founder and Managing Director of Lucella AG, a professional coaching and consulting firm based in Zurich, Switzerland.

It is no secret that marriage rates in the United States are at an all-time low. Despite this significant decline, the institution of marriage endures in our society amid historic changes to its meaning and practice. How does the continuing strength of marriage impact the relationships of same-sex couples after the legalization of same-sex marriage? Drawing on over one hundred interviews with LGBTQ+ people, Marriage Material: How an Enduring Institution Is Changing Same-Sex Relationships (University of Chicago Press, 2024) reveals the transformative impact marriage equality has had on same-sex relationships. Sociologist Dr. Abigail Ocobock looks to same-sex couples across a wide age range to illuminate the complex ways institutional mechanisms work in tandem to govern the choices and behaviors of individuals with different marriage experiences. Dr. Ocobock examines both the influence of marriage on the dynamics of same-sex relationships and how LGBTQ+ people challenge heteronormative assumptions about marriage, highlighting the complex interplay between institutional constraint and individual agency. Marriage Material presents a bold challenge to dominant scholarly and popular ideas about the decline of marriage, making clear that gaining access to legal marriage has transformed same-sex relationships, both for better and for worse. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Harvard has announced that it is launching a fresh review of its connections to Epstein after new emails and documents were released showing long -standing ties between Epstein and former Harvard president Lawrence Summers. The released materials show that Summers maintained communications with Epstein well after Epstein's 2008 conviction for solicitation of prostitution of a minor, including advice-seeking messages and email exchanges in 2017-2019. The university's statement says the review will look into “information concerning individuals at Harvard included in the newly released Epstein documents to evaluate what actions may be warranted.”This comes on the heels of a previous investigation (completed circa 2020) which found that Epstein had made sizeable donations to Harvard (about $9 million between 1998–2008) and had access to Harvard campus facilities — including an office — even after his conviction. The new probe focuses not only on Summers but also on other Harvard affiliates named in the documents (including Summers's wife, Harvard professor Elisa New). The scandal is reopening questions about how institutions handled Epstein's donations, access and post-conviction privileges.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Gladys Bentley was a part of the Harlem Renaissance as a performer – she played piano and sang in ways that drew huge crowds starting in the 1920s, and she was completely out as a lesbian.

Triggerwarnung: In dieser Folge geht es um Suizid, sexualisierte Gewalt, auch gegen Kinder, und Gewalt gegen Menschen mit Behinderung. Eine Justizvollzugsanstalt ist ein Ort maximaler Kontrolle. Hohe Mauern, Kameras, Sicherheitsschleusen. Und doch darf Lydia ihren Partner Olaf unbeaufsichtigt besuchen – in einer sogenannten Liebeszelle. Seit fast fünf Jahren sind die beiden ein Paar – eine Beziehung, die selbst den stählernen Gittern standhält. Regelmäßig kommt Lydis, um fernab vom normalen Gefängnisalltag ein paar Stunden mit Olaf zu verbringen. Doch das das Gefängnispersonal im April 2010 nach mehreren Stunden ohne Überwachung die Tür zu ihrem Besucherraum öffnet, machen sie eine Entdeckung, die nicht nur die Region erschüttert, sondern auch eine unbequeme Frage aufwirft: Wie viel Vertrauen darf ein System jemandem schenken, dessen Vergangenheit so schwer wiegt? In dieser Folge von „Mordlust – Verbrechen und ihre Hintergründe“ geht es um genau diese Frage und darum, was passieren kann, wenn eine Institution, die für Sicherheit sorgen soll, an genau dieser Stelle versagt. **Credit** Produzentinnen/ Hosts: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers Redaktion: Paulina Krasa, Laura Wohlers, Marisa Morell Schnitt: Pauline Korb Rechtliche Abnahme: Abel und Kollegen **Quellen (Auswahl)** Stern: https://t1p.de/3yj1y WDR Lokalzeit MordOrte: https://t1p.de/lvbz6 Stern: https://t1p.de/3hs4k Westdeutsche Zeitung: https://t1p.de/klp6o NRZ: https://t1p.de/6iurt **Partner der Episode** Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?
