Have you ever felt the weight of being a man in today's rapidly changing world? Join me and men's coach Nico Lagan as we tackle the complexities of modern masculinity, shedding light on the struggle of reconciling traditional values with contemporary societal expectations. We wade through discussions on stoicism, the contentious idea of toxic masculinity, and how these concepts are reshaping men's identities. Nico's transformative journey from a troubled past to guiding others towards purpose serves as a beacon for those navigating the choppy waters of self-discovery and growth. Fatherhood, or the lack thereof, casts a long shadow over the lives of many men. In this heartfelt segment, we don't shy away from the tough questions, probing into the effects of absent fathers and the emotional voids they leave behind. From my own story of growing up without a father to the broader societal consequences of paternal absence, we examine the critical role of both parents in nurturing emotional intelligence. We emphasize that through love and accountability, life's hurdles can not only be overcome but can pave the way for a legacy of strength and vulnerability.As we wrap up, we hone in on the essence of what it takes to be a complete modern man. The conversation spans the importance of virtues like faith and courage, the life-altering impact of self-improvement activities such as martial arts, and the enduring relevance of traditional masculinity. We dissect the intrinsic qualities of a man as a protector and provider and lay out the essential virtues that carve out a meaningful existence. Thank you for joining the Revolutionary Man podcast, and remember—we're not just talking about change; we're embodying it, one man at a time.Key moments in this episode:03:12 Niko Lagan's Transformation: From Darkness to Light20:33 The Power of Accountability and Purpose in Manhood26:08 Exploring the Five Virtues of a Good Man31:16 Navigating Life's Challenges with Determination31:31 The Transformation Journey: From Corporate to Creator32:56 Mastering Your Body to Master Your Mind36:02 Becoming a Protector: The Essence of Masculinity38:03 The Role of a Provider: Beyond Financial Stability41:37 Temperance and Emotional Control: The Internal Battle45:58 Exploring Faith and Its Place in Modern Masculinity50:29 The Impact of Mentorship and Personal AccountabilityHow to reach Nico:

Kathy Hines, former Chief Marketing Officer at brands like Kipling, The North Face, and Dickies, shares her experience at VF corporation. She started her career in career management consulting at Bain and later went on to Nike, where she gained foundational experience in lifestyle and sports marketing. At Kipling, she led marketing strategy and E-commerce. She then led marketing and strategy for the North Face in Europe. After a four-year stint in VF Europe, she returned to the US and took on the role of global chief marketing officer for Dickies in Texas, where she was also responsible for licensing. Her experience at VF has given her a broad range of skills and experiences. Developing a Professional Marketing Plan Using a sports and lifestyles brand as an example, Kathy shares her process for developing a professional marketing plan. She begins by identifying the brand's aligned corporate strategy and working closely with the leadership team to understand financials and operational opportunities. The team then collectively develops long-term objectives, such as being the leader in performance and lifestyle apparel across key markets. For example, strategic choices include improving gross to net profits, targeting specific geographies, such as the UK, China, and the US, or focusing on elevating iconic products to consumers. The latter approach allows the brand to ensure it is the best in the world at that product. The marketing strategy should align with these strategic objectives and align with the brand foundations, which include the purpose of the brand, brand values, and brand personality. The Importance of Brand Foundations The brand foundations are essential for the marketing team to align on who they are and why they exist. These foundations include the brand purpose, the brand values, which define the brand, and the brand personality, which guides the direction of the brand in terms of the brand and design guidelines which are visual manifestations of the brand, while the tone document informs global communications, PR, and social media. The marketing plan should also include a clear vision for the brand, a clear mission statement, and a clear communication strategy. By focusing on these areas, the marketing team can create a comprehensive and effective marketing plan that aligns with the brand's long-term objectives and strategic choices. Examples of Brand Purpose and Its Place in the Marketing Plan Kathy shares several examples of brand purposes, including Kipling's brand purpose of making happy, and Napa's brand purpose of unlimit. These examples demonstrate the power of brand purpose in shaping a company's identity and strategy. A marketing plan can be a singular page or a series of sub-chapters, with the brand purpose at the top. The purpose is the pinnacle of the brand, defining its values, personnel, and personality. Sub-chapters can include marketing-related details and strategic choices to align the brand foundations with corporate strategy. If the brand purpose is a one-page manifestation, subsequent pages can further explore the brand purpose, values, personality, and how these factors inform communications in PR, social media, and ecommerce. These drill-downs are crucial for ensuring alignment with the brand's overall vision and strategy. Segmentation in Marketing Kathy discusses the importance of segmentation in marketing, stating that while it is important to understand a brand's core consumer base, it is also crucial to consider the potential of the audience and the growth of that audience. For example, if a brand is rooted in an extreme sport, and the core consumer is an extreme athlete, branching out from there to less extreme athletes who do not compete, or a consumer who is inspired by the sport can help unlock and grow the brand by connecting the core consumer to concentric circles that ripple out from the center.  Price Strategies in Marketing Price strategy is another important aspect of marketing, often set by the product team. However, when a brand is priced too low or has a multi-geographic product, it can lead to consumers seeking out the product at a higher price. This can lead to a higher potential for the brand. To address this issue, a cross-functional team from product design, merchandising, marketing, and leadership teams should conduct a full pricing study to understand the brand's potential. In ecommerce, it is essential to be cautious about discounting the product to maintain a healthy, profitable business. Ecommerce growth often drives top line sales through occasional sales, but if the product is discounted, the rest of the market will follow, making the brand less profitable and less desirable. Full price sell-through is another key metric for identifying a strong brand. This indicates that a significant percentage of the product is selling through at full price without any discounts, which is a strong indication of brand health and helps avoid market degradation. The Importance of Monitoring Metrics  Kathy emphasizes the importance of clear tracking of KPIs and simple KPIs and to collect data that can be informative. One favorite metric for brands is Google brand interest, which is an intuitive index measuring search volume for the brand. By tracking this consistently, businesses can see whether interest is increasing or decreasing, which is important for understanding brand health. Additionally, tracking global brand interest allows for a more accurate understanding of geographic differences. A regression analysis from Google suggests that increased consistent increase in Google brand interest is directly tied to increased sales for the brand. Brand engagement is also important in social channels, as high engagement indicates people are interested in the content being posted. Full price sell-through is another key indicator of a brand's success. Lastly, tracking direct-to-consumer offerings through ecommerce or retail can help determine if the customer base is growing or if there is a growing number of opt-ins to communication. By focusing on net new people, businesses can ensure their total pie of customers grows each month. Kathy mentions that the degree to which a marketing technology stack is included in a marketing plan depends on the brand's unique circumstances and the technology partner team. Strategic Partnerships in Marketing Strategic partnerships can manifest in various ways, such as collaborations with emerging designers, faster go-to-market processes, agency partners, and effective partnerships with wholesale retailers. Agency partners, if treated as an authentic member of the team, can be magical. By addressing these partnerships in a comprehensive and effective manner, brands can create unique and valuable products and experiences. Blue Moon Marketing Kathy's company focuses on three areas: private equity portfolio companies, consulting companies, and public and private companies. She assists in due diligence, diagnostic phase, and client work for private equity funds. Her company also provides additional support to consulting companies by assisting with pitches and client work. They also offer project-based support for public and private companies, focusing on business strategy, marketing strategy, segmentation, go-to-market strategy, budget analysis, and design.  Timestamps: 04:01 Business strategy and marketing plan development 08:58 Brand purpose, values, and personality for various companies 13:28 Brand segmentation and its importance in growing a brand 20:17 Pricing strategies and metrics for brand health 25:25 Tracking KPIs for brands using Google brand interest, social media engagement, full price sell through, and customer base growth 30:09 Marketing strategies and partnerships Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathy-hines-1194851/?originalSubdomain=uk Unleashed is produced by Umbrex, which has a mission of connecting independent management consultants with one another, creating opportunities for members to meet, build relationships, and share lessons learned.

As Alex says, the ground is shifting more and faster than it has in some time in the tech world, which usually means gaping craters are opened to swallow up media companies. We discuss the Reddit IPO, X apparently pivoting to video – we recorded this prior to Don Lemmon announcing he wouldn't be launching his show on X after an apparently disastrous interview with Elon Musk pissed off Musk, go figure – and the effort to ban TikTok.We also have a guest this week. Tony Stubblebine joined us to discuss where Medium fits in the information space. We talked to Tony about how Medium aims to be the place for expert content, why journalism is apparently expensive to produce because journalists have to learn about the stuff they cover, and the frequent misalignment of incentives in the media business, particularly ones reliant on advertising.Submit a question or comment for the show here: https://memo.fm/pva/Troy Young's People vs Algorithms newsletterBrian Morrissey's The Rebooting newsletterAlex Schleifer's Universal EntitiesFollow Alex, Brian and Troy on TwitterTopics: 00:00 Introducing the Voicemail Feature: A New Way to Engage01:44 Welcome to People vs. Algorithms: Unpacking Media and Tech Shifts02:06 Deep Dive into Reddit's IPO and the Future of Social Platforms02:44 Exploring Medium's Journey and Its Place in the Digital World04:29 Listener Engagement and the Future of Podcasting05:18 Analyzing Reddit's Strategy and Its Impact on the Digital Landscape16:17 X Pivoting to Video19:46 The Controversial Debate: The Potential TikTok Ban25:20 Apple's Strategy and the Shifting Tech Landscape32:21 Medium's New Direction Under CEO Tony Stubblebine40:44 Evaluating Medium's Pivot to Subscription and Target Author Strategy41:26 The Power of Expert Content in the Digital Age43:03 The Debate Over Text vs. Video Content44:05 The Importance of Writing in an Evolving Internet44:55 Addressing Changing Consumer Habits and Content Consumption48:56 The Future of Twitter and Social Media Platforms50:36 Exploring Federation and Content Distribution Strategies51:37 Navigating Negotiations with AI Companies55:17 The Potential and Challenges of Reddit's IPO58:13 The Role of Medium in Independent Expert Content Creation59:39 Reflecting on the State of Professional Media01:08:33 Closing Thoughts and Future Directions01:11:12 The Impact of Advertising on Business and Culture

In this episode, we sit down with David Hall, Senior Pastor of Midway Presbyterian Church in Powder Springs, GA, and a prolific author, to discuss his latest book, Irony and the Presbyterian Church in America: The First Fifty Years. Hall's work, a historical and analytical exploration of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), offers a unique perspective on the denomination's fifty-year journey since its inception in 1973. Through the lens of irony, reminiscent of Greek dramas, Hall examines the PCA's evolution within the wider context of American Presbyterianism. David Hall is the author of over 40 books, including influential titles like Savior or Servant? Putting Government in Its Place and The Legacy of John Calvin. As the Founder and Senior Fellow of the Kuyper Institute and a leading figure in the Calvin500 celebration, Hall's expertise offers a profound look into the PCA's successes, challenges, and the critical question: can it avoid the decline that other religious communions have faced?

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the idea that some kind of consciousness is present not just in our human brains but throughout the universe, right down to cells or even electrons. This is panpsychism and its proponents argue it offers a compelling alternative to those who say we are nothing but matter, like machines, and to those who say we are both matter and something else we might call soul. It is a third way. Critics argue panpsychism is implausible, an example of how not to approach this problem, yet interest has been growing widely in recent decades partly for the idea itself and partly in the broader context of understanding how consciousness arises.WithTim Crane Professor of Philosophy and Pro-Rector at the Central European University Director of Research, FWF Cluster of Excellence, Knowledge in CrisisJoanna Leidenhag, Associate Professor in Theology and Philosophy at the University of LeedsAnd Philip Goff Professor of Philosophy at Durham UniversityProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Anthony Freeman (ed.), Consciousness and Its Place in Nature: Does Physicalism Entail Panpsychism?

É um paradoxo e uma dificuldade dos nossos dias. O mundo muda cada vez mais depressa, o que faz com que o futuro se vá tornando cada vez mais imprevisível. Mas, ao mesmo tempo, isto torna cada vez mais importante prever e antecipar esse futuro, para que a mudança não nos apanhe desprevenidos. É um exercício difícil, especialmente para os decisores empresariais que têm de estar focado nos desafios do dia-a-dia. Mas, felizmente, há quem nos dê uma ajuda, dedicando toda uma brilhante carreira à tarefa de antecipar o que vem lá à frente.

“In the end, no place was truly safe.”Zombies Are On the March in Peninsula!It's no surprise that the studio and filmmakers wanted to return to the Train to Busan well after its initial success. And crafting a sequel that's less an immediate sequel but more of a story in the same universe taking place four years after the original sounded intriguing. But a bigger budget and expanded scope doesn't always mean better. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we wrap up our Train to Busan series with a conversation about Yeon Sang-ho's 2020 film Peninsula.Here's a hint at what we talk about.The film starts with a great premise. We're following two survivors, now living in Hong Kong four years after South Korea was taken over by zombies, as they're recruited by criminals to return to the country and find a truck full of money. Once they get there, however, things start shifting in ways that bring the story down. The plot contains many elements that are there simply for convenience. Even their own zombie rules, established in the last film and (mostly) adhered to, seem to be used as needed. With all of that, it seems like things aren't great but passable for a genre zombie film.Unfortunately, it goes downhill from there. We're introduced to some young daughters who drive like Dominic Toretto in sequences that are on par with video game action. We get the rogue militia catching survivors and running their own zombie survival games. The characters in the first film were archetypes, but largely felt human. Here, they feel like poorly written and performed video game characters. We do have a few that stand out and pique our interest. Our protagonist, for one, is easy to enjoy and watch go through this story. The political leader of the militia makes for an interesting psychological study, along with his sidekick. Even the mom who survived the attacks and made it this far with her daughters and father makes for an interesting story.Unfortunately, they're all saddled with a sloppy story and weak effects that just makes the whole thing a struggle. Still, it's awfully fun to talk about. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in.

VYS0012 - Show Notes When Hine and Buckley had the idea to start a podcast about weird stuff in order to re-evaluate their reality this was the exact thing they had in mind. Mark Vincent is a man of many disciplines and much discipline - chaos magician, hypnotist, drummer, Lavey Satanist and purveyor of mind-blowing ideas. What was intended to be a discussion about chaos magic quickly spins off-track and takes a fascinating detour through the hard problem of consciousness, assembly theory, overcoming chronic pain and the pervasive nature of trance in occult practice. If you come away from listening to this episode with your idea of reality intact, then maybe you don't really exist at all... Recorded 21 November 2022.

Every T1D parent feels the compulsion to tightly control the food, the doses, and every aspect of diabetes management for their child. We have to realize that the goals should be to normalize T1D as much as possible, keep the numbers in the “good enough” range, and keep a good relationship with the child. We are NEVER going to achieve perfection, and we can't expect perfection from our kids in T1D management. Sometimes the best thing we can do is to loosen the pressure we put on our T1D kid and keep the communication lines open. Join us to hear the conversation between Paige and JoAnne. Show Highlights:Guest: Paige, the mother of an 11-year-old son who was diagnosed at age 8Since he was diagnosed just a few months before the pandemic occurred, management became routine as the family was together all the time.As of January 2022, Paige's son is back in school but struggling to independently manage his T1D throughout the school day.How her son has recently cut back on logging his food intake precisely, which has brought more chaos into the situationHow his “guesses” at dosing are leading to rollercoaster moments and scary highs and lowsPaige's Question: “Is this ‘rage dosing' just a phase of his management? Will he at some point go back to logging his food correctly? How do we handle this loss of control when he's dosing himself or when we leave him with other people?”JoAnne's Answer: “I feel like you had a double-edged sword with the pandemic, with the upside being the ease in taking care of him all the time because he was at home. The downside is that you became used to keeping a flatline of his blood sugar numbers all the time, which is not realistic, especially for children. I think you need to loosen some of your idea of what he should be doing in T1D management because that probably feels like a noose to him. With the lived experience you've shared about your T1D family history, that ramps up your anxiety about T1D management and the worst scenario outcomes. What I know is that you want your child to have a positive relationship with diabetes, as much as possible. We want him to embrace the care of T1D while hating the T1D; the more rigid it becomes, the harder it is to embrace the care. You'll have to figure out where you can let go so that his life can be as normal as possible. I feel like a visit to family camp will be really, really helpful for you. The question is how you can keep your relationship with him strong enough as he goes through the upcoming teen years so you have a positive connection into which diabetes is woven. Where you are now is not the total story, so you need to figure out how you can quiet your own nervous system around diabetes so you can allow some normalcy into your son's life. You can be the superstar diabetes manager, but at what cost? Your relationship with your son should be at the forefront. My Put Diabetes in Its Place might be helpful for you because it teaches you to identify a place where you can be more flexible and work from there. This is a marathon and not a sprint. At this point, you need to aim for ‘good enough'. You have to take a breath and realize that the end of the world is not coming when he is out of range with his numbers sometimes. My Self-Care Kit might be helpful in helping you turn down the volume on your dysregulation when his numbers are high. I would ask your endocrinologist about using a mini-gluc dose to help him come up from a low; some doctors will support that use. You can work with your endo team and adjust the doses to cover those pre-bedtime snacks he wants without them keeping you up all night. My free webinar (coming on December 14), Let Them Eat Cake? will benefit you.” Resources:Visit my website for available resources:

Having a newly diagnosed T1D child sends parents on a new and unexpected journey. Today's question is from a mom who is struggling with all the pieces of the T1D journey with her preteen daughter. As is expected, her daughter wants to be private about her diabetes because she wants to fit in with her peers, and she just wants life to be about other things besides T1D. This shows up in anger and frustration with what is now required of her in diabetes management. Join us for the conversation.Show Highlights:Guest: Amy's daughter, Katie (12), was diagnosed with T1D just two months ago in September, and she's being homeschooled now for 6th grade. How Amy's family has felt flooded and emotionally overwhelmed with this diagnosis and all the pieces to the T1D puzzleHow Katie is super private and embarrassed about T1D and refuses to let anyone else be around when she has an injectionAmy's Question: “I want to ask about the grief piece that seems to be lingering and unending. It sometimes shows up in Katie as anger, especially in the mornings as we have transitioned to homeschool until she's ready to get back into school, so I need strategies for managing those emotions in the moment. I also need to know how to handle the fact that she doesn't want anyone to know that she has T1D.”JoAnne's Answer: “I think it's important to normalize her life as much as possible, and a big piece of that is having her return to school instead of being homeschooled. She needs to know that her life can be normal and stay on track even though the T1D diagnosis has derailed you for a time. The most important aspect is to figure out how you both will live normal lives while managing T1D. By having her at home, you are communicating to her that “this” is too much and too big. Look to partner with the school nurse and teachers to make sure they know what she needs. You have to find the line between what Katie wants and what the reality is. You may have to push her to get her on board with doing what she needs to regarding dosing at school, and get her to understand that her T1D cannot be private from the adults who care for her at school. We, as parents, have to be practical about the suffering our T1D kids are enduring because they have to learn to tolerate it. They don't have a choice about the pain of injections, but their lives can remain intact. It might be helpful to find a T1D mentor for her from the local high school, and it's not something you give her a choice about– because she doesn't know what she needs.”Resources:Mentioned in this episode: Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents by Reid WilsonVisit my website for available resources: www.diabetessweettalk.com*Visit my website to get my Self-Care Kit to bring more ease and balance into your diabetes management routine!

Today's question comes from a mom who sees her son go into full-meltdown mode at pump change time, but this behavior differs, depending on who is observing him. As with any outward behavior, the internal emotions behind it are the key. Join us as we discuss how this mom can be supportive and allow his independence while giving her son the space to express his frustration with T1D. Show Highlights:Guest: Terezinha lives in Ontario, Canada. Her 11-year-old son, Theo, was diagnosed in 2021.How healthcare in Ontario provides a pump for diabetes care one year after diagnosisHow both Terezinha and Theo notice that T1D life is much easier with a pump, with sleeping, keeping numbers in range, etc.How Theo wants to be in control and put his pump in himself but has problems and pain which spiral into a meltdown of anger, name-calling, and frustrationHow Terezinha has noticed that if any friends or family members are around at pump change (other than his parents), he gets it in on the first try with no meltdownTerezinha's Question: “What can we do to improve this situation around Theo's pump changes?”JoAnne's Answer: “With all of our kids, there will always be an edge where they push the limits of what they are capable of doing. It sounds like he's telling you that he CAN do this when he is out in the world, but at home, his message to you is that this is profoundly hard for him. I would wonder what the difference is on the inside for him when someone else is around, and why it is easier then. Your eye should be on helping him tap into whatever that capacity is that allows a “normal” pump change. Before the next pump change, choose a mellow moment to ask him about these internal differences in the situation. Talk with him about what you can both do to make the next time easier. I think it's important not to have the conversation in a pump change moment because you won't get clear answers. Talk about it regularly when things are calm and start the conversation about the difference when he CAN and CAN'T do the pump change. Be careful about saying things that ramp up his shame, and maybe you need to leave him alone to handle pump change a little more often. You want to be there for him, but that creates a dysregulated space for both of you. Let him know that you are stepping away to de-escalate the situation to take a break because you are dysregulated. That's a good thing to model for him so he knows it's OK to step away and take a break. Make space at other times for his distress and give him permission to talk about diabetes, his frustration, and how difficult it is.”Resources:Visit my website for available resources: www.diabetessweettalk.com For help with the emotional and parenting challenges of facing T1D management, join one of our live recording sessions by clicking the banner at the top of the homepage.For a more hopeful future for you and your T1D child, consider the After Diagnosis coaching course at www.diabetessweettalk.com/courses.

Every T1D parent faces fear in relinquishing control to teachers and caregivers as their child grows up, and those fears are magnified further if your child is very young. How to properly educate teachers in T1D care is something every one of us encounters. Today's question is from a mom with a young son just beginning his schooling in preschool, and thankfully, he has supportive and attentive caregivers who are partnering in his T1D care, but questions remain. Join us to hear the conversation.Show Highlights:Guest #1: Julie, a mom of three kids (ages 4, 6, and 8), has a four-year-old who was diagnosed with T1D at only 15 months.Julie's son just entered preschool, which means she's having to train his teachers for the first time and allow others to handle his care.Julie's Question: “How do I not feel bad about having to hand over part of his care to other people when there is so much involved in the situational timing of his dosing needs?”JoAnne's Answer: “Your concerns are not unusual. This issue comes up in many situations, like school and playdates. It's great that you have a supportive team of people who are willing to learn and help, and I understand the internal feelings of not wanting to burden others. I think it's important to build a strong relationship with the person or people who are managing his T1D care when he's away from you. Be super kind and generous with the teacher's assistant when she makes mistakes, but understand that you aren't being ‘too much' in what you are asking. You can kindly advocate for your son without feeling guilty about it, and you will have to take the time to communicate clearly with her about his care. In this, you are modeling for your son that it is OK to ask for what he needs in his T1D care, and that is important for him to see and learn. The second part of this is about all the nuances and situations of his care. Our job as parents is to help his teacher learn and to make T1D care manageable for her with room to grow. Whatever is needed to keep him safe is the guideline, and you can add more nuance to it as she grows in her knowledge. Begin by setting clear guidelines about his dosing, and you can adjust those later.”Resources:Visit my website for available resources: www.diabetessweettalk.com For help with the emotional and parenting challenges of facing T1D management, join one of our live recording sessions by clicking the banner at the top of the homepage.For a more hopeful future for you and your T1D child, consider the After Diagnosis coaching course at www.diabetessweettalk.com/courses.

When Kate was growing up, her grandfather often told her that when he was serving on a Navy ship during WWII, there were two things he and his fellow sailors never talked about: religion and politics.In the present age, we're apt to think that leaving politics off the table like that is inauthentic, or worse, a sign of being an insufficiently engaged citizen. We're apt to think that the more we do politics, the better the health of our politics.My guest would say that the opposite is true. His name is Robert Talisse, and he's a professor of political philosophy and the author of Overdoing Democracy: Why We Must Put Politics in Its Place. Today on the show, Bob and I discuss how democracy isn't just a system of government but a moral ideal; how the fact that it's an ideal gives it a tendency to extend its reach; and how the particular circumstances of modern times have extended that reach into all of our lifestyle choices, from the car we drive to where we shop. But, Bob argues, there can be too much of a good thing. He says the way politics has saturated everything in our lives creates some negative effects, turning politics into something that parties can market like toothpaste, and making each individual's views more extreme, so that we ultimately get to the point that we can't see our political opponents as people who have an equal say in our democracy. The solution, Bob says, is not to build bridges of dialogue with our political opponents, as is so often advised, but to engage with people in spaces, places, and activities where doing politics isn't the point, and you don't even know the political views of the people with whom you interact.Connect With Robert TalisseRobert's faculty pageListen to the Podcast!

Today I'm joined by Katie Roseborough, host of the Sugar Mama's podcast. I've visited with Katie on her show, and she's returning the favor by joining me today with a question about her T1D kid. Join us to hear the conversation!Show Highlights:Guest #1: Katie, mother of three, has a daughter (her middle child) with T1D.Her daughter is 10 years old and was diagnosed about two years ago. She is fairly compliant with her diabetes management IF Katie tells her what to do; if her mom isn't around, it's a different story. Katie's First Question: “How do I get to the heart of the issue to encourage her to be more mindful of what she needs to do even if she isn't with me?”JoAnne's Answer: “I'm hearing that your system mostly works, but there are a few holes. I think future worry is the issue as you wonder if this is ever going to change. It sounds like she isn't quite ready to take this on, and she's happy to let the adults hold this responsibility for her. Try to separate out the future piece and look at the now. Validate that it makes sense that she doesn't want to pick this up and monitor everything she eats. Let her know that you both need to figure out together what the next steps will be. It will take a while, and you will have this conversation over and over before things change. When she does take ownership, set off the fireworks of praise for her in getting older, maturing, and taking on responsibility for these hard, extra things. You may need to back off about the dosing and make it about a strategy. Ask her what you can do to help her remember, and try different strategies to see what might work. She will eventually get it because you are helping her be aware. The data is clear that into their early 20s, our kids struggle to hold onto all the things in their T1D care. You'll probably see a developmental shift as she is more able to remember and more willing to pick it up, and she will still forget.” Katie's Second Question: “In the future, when she's away from home more and more, what do you recommend we do to help her remember to monitor snacks and dose correctly?”JoAnne's Answer: “We have a lot of technology today that allows you to keep a check on her. If she goes for sleepovers and camps, you can still see what's happening, and she will get more autonomy and privacy as she shows you her capacity to handle tasks. You can help her plan for supplies as she is away from home, and it's a great learning opportunity for when she goes to college. Remember that it's always easier to let go of control than to regain control. Begin by keeping more control for sleepovers, and as she gains more independence, you can gradually release some control.”Resources:Connect with Katie: Sugar Mama's podcastVisit my website for available resources: www.diabetessweettalk.com For help with the emotional and parenting challenges of facing T1D management, join one of our live recording sessions by clicking the banner at the top of the homepage.For a more hopeful future for you and your T1D child, consider the After Diagnosis coaching course at www.diabetessweettalk.com/courses.

Life can be tricky with a newly-diagnosed T1D teenager. Some of them are happy to share and be open about diabetes, and some want to keep it hidden and to themselves. The point is that each of them has the right to decide if, and how, their peers will learn about their T1D. Today's questions are from the mother of a teenager who has very strong feelings on the matter. Join us to learn more!Show Highlights:Guest #1: Sarah's son (16) was diagnosed a little over a year ago “out of the blue” at a routine doctor visit.Sarah's son is doing well in managing his diabetes and is very responsible in his care.Sarah's First Question: “Why is it more difficult for him to accept the permanence of his situation with T1D, and why does he not want anyone to know?”JoAnne's Answer: “There is no right answer to your question. No 16-year-old can understand what life is like with diabetes unless they are experiencing it. There is an issue around his safety when you aren't around, and it's totally OK and normal that you have sadness at what he's going through. There is a normal process of mourning for all of your family, but I like to start with strong validation around the permanence of T1D. Tap into his experience and name it back to him to help him feel seen; this will help him feel calmer about it. If you sign up for my newsletter, you can find information about my Validation Webinar, which might be helpful for you.”Sarah's Second Question: “How does a 16-year-old reach the level of vulnerability required to announce to his friends that he has T1D?”JoAnne's Answer: “I understand that you want everyone around him to be aware of his needs because of your safety concerns and fears that the worst may happen. Every T1D parent has those fears, but the likelihood of those worst-case scenarios happening is very small. Part of this issue is about emotional safety. When he goes to college, he will need to let others know about T1D, and he'll need to advocate for himself. It's OK that he doesn't want to share with others now because he feels very different from others at this point. I would encourage you to find a diabetes camp where he can meet other kids like him and not feel ashamed; you can even find one away from home where he isn't in his normal peer group. Another idea is that he could become a babysitter for a younger T1D kid and become a mentor and hero to that child. This could create a sense of community and inclusion for him, letting him know that he's not alone with T1D.”Resources:Visit my website for available resources: www.diabetessweettalk.com For help with the emotional and parenting challenges of facing T1D management, join one of our live recording sessions by clicking the banner at the top of the homepage.For a more hopeful future for you and your T1D child, consider the After Diagnosis coaching course at www.diabetessweettalk.com/courses.

Welcome to another episode of the podcast! Parents of T1D kids have so many unique experiences that most people don't understand. By finding community and support, we learn that we are not alone, and we have hope through the difficult times. Today's questions revolve around helping our T1D kids learn the skills they need to be independent. We will talk about age-appropriate responsibilities and how to scaffold tasks to help them prepare for being out on their own someday. Join us to learn more!Show Highlights:Guest #1: Lupita is the mother of Nash (9–almost 10), who was diagnosed four years ago.Nash is monitored 24/7 with Dexcom, which means Lupita is on watch 24/7.Nash has seen several different doctors and is being asked to be more independent than Lupita thinks is suitable for his young age.Lupita feels bad that Nash is nowhere near ready to do what the doctors expect him to do in his care; she feels like she is failing as a parent.Lupita's Question: “Is there an age when a child should be independent in their diabetes management? How do I approach this with his doctors without sounding rude?”JoAnne's Answer: “I would agree with you that he is very young to take on all responsibilities for his diabetes management. I've noticed that kids who are diagnosed younger are used to mom taking care of everything for longer, and kids who are diagnosed later, like at age 9, want to do more themselves.There is a transition period in which it's important for you to scaffold his independence around his diabetes management. You will have to learn to tolerate his missteps as he transitions to doing things himself, which typically happens in the mid-teen years. Listen to your instincts about what he needs, and I think it's fine for you to wait a little longer to make the transition. Your message to Nash needs to be that you are here to help and care for him now and that you will help him become an adult by learning to function on his own. Clear the air with the doctors and ask for their help in getting him to his own management when the time is right instead of beating you up about it. Ask them for help in taking the first baby steps.” Guest #2: Nikola, the mother of Olivia (17)Olivia has a continuous glucose monitor and a pump and is doing wel–overalll.Nikola's question: “How do I get her to be more responsible with her supplies and pick up her trash/needles from all over the house?”JoAnne's answer: “You may have to remind her to pick her things up and dispose of them, but be gentle. It's like any other household task with dishes, etc., and it's not diabetes-specific behavior. In terms of her losing her things, I don't have a magical solution. It is something that she will struggle to figure out, and she will have to do better when she is on her own. There is only so much that we, as parents, can do to help them and scaffold for them. Different kids have different executive functioning skills, and it's just something she will have to figure out.”Resources:Visit my website for available resources: www.diabetessweettalk.com For help with the emotional and parenting challenges of facing T1D management, join one of our live recording sessions by clicking the banner at the top of the homepage.For a more hopeful future for you and your T1D child, consider the After Diagnosis coaching course at www.diabetessweettalk.com/courses.

Welcome to the podcast! Parents of T1D kids have so many unique experiences that most people don't understand. By finding community and support, we learn that we are not alone, and we have hope through the difficult times. Today's show tackles questions about helping teenagers become more independent, not letting “diabetes talk” take over the parent/child relationship, and how to combat diabetes burnout and depression. Join us to learn more!Show Highlights:Guest #1: Angela is the mother of Jake,15; he was diagnosed at age 12. Jake is trying to be more independent with his management, but it's been a big struggle to have him remember to check his blood sugar and take his insulin appropriately.How Angela feels like their relationship is focused solely on diabetes management, and she wants it to be differentAngela's question: “How much do I let him do, and how do I balance our relationship beyond diabetes talk?”JoAnne's answer: “I would vote for the relationship to be the primary focus right now. Jake is at the age where higher A1Cs are normal, and it's very difficult to hit the A1C target. Being empathetic toward him about what he's going through is important, as well as keeping your relationship strong with him. I'm not saying to let go of safety concerns, but talk to him and name what has happened in the relationship. Let him know that you would like to ‘talk at him' less about diabetes. Find a way with him to hand over control to him and let him know that you trust him on this important issue, but let him know that he deserves support. Take it one step at a time, and praise him along the way for whatever he is doing right.”Guest #2: Anna is the mother of Charlie, age 5; he was diagnosed in November 2021.Still in the “honeymoon phase” after diagnosis, Charlie takes ½ unit of long-acting insulin; he does not feel his highs and lows.His parents rely 100% on technology to gauge his highs and lows, and his normal personality tends to be irritable and difficult.Why Anna feels caregiver burnout and mourns the ease of their old lifeAnna's question: “How do I combat the depression of being his caregiver and pancreas 24/7? Do you have tips and strategies to get out of the ‘diabetes depression' that we are dealing with?”JoAnne's answer: “I think your experience is normal. Community is very powerful and grounding, and I'm a big proponent of family camp because it's good for everyone in the family. Find ways to get community support into your daily life at home; diabetes is too much of a burden for one parent to carry alone. Charlie needs to learn that there is a big network of people who can help him and you. Do your best to normalize your experience; most of it is just the swing and sway of the first year with diabetes.” Resources:Visit my website for available resources: www.diabetessweettalk.com For help with the emotional and parenting challenges of facing T1D management, join one of our live recording sessions by clicking the banner at the top of the homepage.For a more hopeful future for you and your T1D child, consider the After Diagnosis coaching course at www.diabetessweettalk.com/courses.

Welcome to Episode 2! I'm back with more questions and answers about how to “parent” diabetes. Living with T1D kids is a journey of unpredictability, but you are not alone. Unfortunately, not everyone is compassionate and understanding about parenting struggles with T1D, and today's conversation is about how adult friendships can be packed with envy, comparisons, and reactivity. Join us for a closer look!Show Highlights:Today's guest: Carla, the mother of a T1D daughter who is 4½ years old and was diagnosed just over two years agoHow a recent confrontational interaction with a close friend about her daughter's diabetes left her feeling unseen, unheard, and frustrated–and that the friendship has endedCarla's question: “Is this something that I should be aware of in future friendships–that diabetes will come between my adult friends and me? Is this always going to be an issue? How should I think about this in the future?”JoAnne's answer: “It's not surprising that other adults don't understand how difficult your journey is with diabetes. Unless someone lives this experience, they can't know what it is like. In my experience, it IS rare to have friends who really see me, know me, and understand me. It would be terrible for you to expect all friendships to be like this, but you will certainly run into people who have a weird reactivity to your situation. The friendship issues are reactivity and repair, and the overall problem for this friend may not necessarily be diabetes-related. You have a clear picture now of what the limitations are in this friendship. With what you've shared about the relationship with this person, there are definitely some problems with envy and feeling ‘less than' on her part. The good news is that there are people out there who are attentive and caring and don't need to engage from a reactive place.”Resources:Visit my website for available resources: www.diabetessweettalk.com For help with the emotional and parenting challenges of facing T1D management, register for a live recording session by clicking the banner at the top of the homepage.For a more hopeful future for you and your T1D child, consider the After Diagnosis coaching course at www.diabetessweettalk.com/courses.

Last year, the Journal of Social Computing published a https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.01351 (Special Issue) on the subject of Technology Ethics in Action. The special issue was the product of the Ethical Tech Working Group at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard, which was cofounded by Mary Gray and Kathy Pham. The ideas in the special issue span a range of critical and interdisciplinary perspectives, with essay titles ranging from “Creating Technology Worthy of the Human Spirit” to “Connecting Race to Ethics Related to Technology” to “The Promise and Limits of Lawfulness: Inequality, Law, and the Techlash.”  To learn more about the ideas in it, I spoke to its editor, Ben Green. Ben is a postdoctoral scholar in the Michigan Society of Fellows and an assistant professor at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. His Harvard PhD is in applied mathematics, with a secondary field in science, technology, and society. He studies the social and political impacts of government algorithms, focusing on algorithmic fairness, smart cities, and the criminal justice system. In 2019 MIT Press published his book, The Smart Enough City: Putting Technology in Its Place to Reclaim Our Urban Future. Ben is also an affiliate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard.

Hank Hanegraaff, president of the Christian Research Institute and host of the Bible Answer Man broadcast, comments on sensationalistic end-time scenarios occasioned by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Let Ezekiel mention the word rosh, and the imaginations of end-time sensationalists go wild. The Hebrew word rosh sounds enough like “Russia” to implicate Russia as the villain in sensationalistic end-time scenarios. However, as documented by credible historians and linguists, the word “Russia” is an eleventh century Viking word and as such should not be semantically linked to the Hebrew word rosh. Moreover, if we fail to understand the history communicated in Scripture, we can come up with all kinds of sensationalistic scenarios. Take Pat Robertson ranting recently about Putin's invasion of Ukraine, citing Ezekiel. The problem is Robertson's failure to understand the historical context of Ezekiel's prophecies, which have nothing to do with current events in Ukraine. The historical principle of biblical interpretation keeps one from supposing—as do modern day prophecy pundits—that Ezekiel longed for a third or fourth temple when the second had not yet arisen from the ashes of the first. For Pat Robertson's statements, see Steve Warren, “‘God Is Getting Ready to Do Something Amazing': CBN Founder Pat Robertson on Russia and Its Place in Prophecy,” CBN News, February 28, 2022, https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/2022/february/god-is-getting-ready-to-do-something-amazing-founder-pat-robertson-on-russia-and-its-place-in-prophecy.

Rev Prof Vivian Boland, OP, "Can Aquinas's sana doctrina on Learning and Teaching Be Extracted from Its Place in sacra doctrina?" part of the 2021 Aquinas Seminar Series on the theme De Magistro: Aquinas and the Education of the Whole Person, exploring what Aquinas offers towards a philosophy and praxis of education, bringing him into con­versation with other thinkers and with movements towards educating the whole person.

On today's show, Ben and Calvin have the privilege of speaking with Dr. Richard Purcell, Associate Professor of English at Carnegie Mellon University. We begin by discussing Rich's current research on conceptions of work in Black artistic labor, and how that led him back to considering the discursive formations of a Nixon-era economic initiative/slogan known as “Black Capitalism.” We discuss Nixon's policy efforts to revitalize Black economic citizenship as a way of pacifying radical resistance, as well as the ensuing debates among Black intellectuals over labor and capital in the 1970s and 1980s. Then, Rich connects this historical context to his analysis of contemporary rap artists like Oddisee, helping us to think through how aesthetic production reflects the costs and tolls of neoliberal capitalism.Finally, we close by addressing “toothless” administrative responses to the conservative movement against Critical Race Theory (CRT). We unpack the legal studies origins of CRT as an academic field and theory, its theoretical utility, and the material connections between the conservative interests that developed “broken windows” policing and the ongoing anti-CRT campaign. We invite Rich to “get on his soapbox”, and he articulates a critique of university policies on issues such as this one that disproportionately affect students and faculty of color, including at Carnegie Mellon University.Works and concepts cited in this episodeJoint Statement from AAUP, AHA, AACU, and Pen America re: Legislative Attacks on CRT Ansfield, B.

As we enter summer vacation season and emerge from pandemic isolation, Robert Talisse thinks it's a good idea to take a break from politics. In fact, he might go so far as to say democracy is better off if you do.Talisse is the W. Alton Jones Professor of Philosophy at Vanderbilt University and author of a new book called Overdoing Democracy: Why We Must Put Politics in Its Place. The book combines philosophical analysis with real-world examples to examine the infiltration of politics into all social spaces, and the phenomenon of political polarization.Talisse's next book,Sustaining Democracy: What We Owe The Other Side, will be out later this year. He's also the host of the Why We Argue podcast.Additional InformationOverdoing Democracy: Why We Must Put Politics in Its PlaceSustaining Democracy: What We Owe the Other SideWhy We Argue podcast

Episode 191: A Tool for Testing Conspiracy Theories - Interview Jeannie Banks ThomasI don’t know about you, but every day my husband comes home and informs me of the latest conspiracy theory he’s heard around the water cooler at work. About how the government is collapsing, the political parties are behind any number of heinous crimes, and of course that the constitution is hanging by a thread. Corona virus was created to get us all chipped through vaccines, and the powers that be are scheduled to shut down all business they don’t agree with through a manipulation of social media and the world’s banking structure. This was just last week… So, when I attended a lecture this past week, by Jeannie Banks Thomas, a professor of Folklore at Utah State University, and she provided a tool for honing in on Your Legend, Rumor, and Conspiracy Theory Detectors, I thought I’d get her on the show so the general public could use this acronym she calls SLAP - S L A P to determine the likelihood that the rumor is true. Stay tuned for some very helpful talk about legends, rumors and conspiracy theory’s during a time where we have more of these than we can begin to process.    Jeannie Banks Thomas is a folklorist and a Fellow of the American Folklore Society. She is the author or co-author of several books including Putting the Supernatural in Its Place (2015); Haunting Experiences (2007); Naked Barbies, Warrior Joes, and Other Forms of Visible Gender (2003); and Featherless Chickens, Laughing Women, and Serious Stories (1997). Two of her books have won international prizes. She is the co-director of USU’s Digital Folklore Project, which names the #DigitalTrendoftheYear, and she is an award-winning teacher. Additionally, her scholarly work has appeared in the Journal of American Folklore, Western Folklore, Journal of Folklore Research, Midwestern Folklore, and Contemporary Legend, among other journals. She is a professor at Utah State University. Welcome Jeannie to the Love Your Story podcast Listen in to the audio program for my discussion with Jeannie. 1. Why is a folklorist such a good person to address this topic? 2. What brought you to this area of research recently? 3. You have a tool for rapidly getting a sense of the veracity of legends, rumors and conspiracy theories, tell us what it is. SLAP -S is for “Scare” Test L is for “Logistics” Test A is for “A-List” Test P is for “Prejudice” Test 4. What websites can people check    Sooooo timely. With all the fake news and the open rumor venue of the internet, with all the dissension politically and the fear and rumor about sickness and apocalyptic revving, this voice of reason is a tool to help you not get pulled into false stories - which of course, the human race is famous for. It’s a tool to help you sort. Your challenge this week is to apply it to one of the rumors you hear and see how well it works. If you’re interested in signing your group up for the 21 Challenges….here’s a word from our sponsor….Insert See you in two weeks for the Love Your Story podcast.

While some philosophers view their primary task as one of discovering the nature of reality and then describing it accurately for the rest of us, others have practiced philosophy as an edifying enterprise, asserting that it should be employed to help us better resolve social and political problems—to change the world. Although both of these approaches have been utilized throughout history, the philosopher John McCumber argues that this later movement in philosophy was mostly purged from academia in the United States starting during the Cold War. 1950s McCarthyism and the “Red Scare” made many American politicians and professors wary of becoming blacklisted or punished for expressing viewpoints associated with communism. These views included concerns for the poor and economically-disadvantaged, support for labor unions, and outcries regarding exploitative economic practices. In turn, this meant that many academics were pushed out of their positions at colleges and universities if they engaged in rhetoric or activities that were perceived as being too “red.”  This academic McCarthyism, according to McCumber, further enabled the ascent of analytic philosophy, a method that attempts to describe the world in the most linguistically precise way possible, leaning heavily toward a mathematical-like language to capture an accurate picture of reality. As a result, philosophy departments throughout the United States became less interested in engaging in edifying philosophy. Consequently, academic McCarthyism helped elevate subjects like mathematics, philosophy of science, and logic at the expense of political and social philosophy. In the later part of the twentieth century, Richard Rorty ushered in a new era of philosophy. Turning their own methods against them, Rorty argued that we ought to jettison analytic philosophy, instead focusing on the practical consequences of our ideas as they manifest in politics and society. Rejecting a representationalist approach, Rorty spent much of his career rallying philosophers around a more edifying position, suggesting that we’re better served by focusing on how ideas can advance society and improve social conditions for people—especially the poor and marginalized. In fact, Rorty went so far as to make several political predictions regarding the practical uses of philosophy and literature in the twenty-first century. On numerous occasions, he outlined how they would be applied throughout society to transform politics following what he imagines will be the darkest years in American history—from 2014 to 2044. Jeffrey Howard speaks with Jacob Goodson, Associate Professor of Philosophy at Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas. Goodson believes that, despite some of Rorty’s philosophical shortcomings, we ought to embrace a more edifying orientation toward ideas. In his recent book, The Dark Years?: Philosophy, Politics, and the Problem of Predictions (2020), he considers Rorty’s political predictions and how they might help guide us toward a better future. Goodson examines which predictions have already been realized—including the election of a “strongman” in 2016—which ones might be coming to fruition now, and whether Rorty’s conception of an idealized future will unfold in the way the neopragmatist philosopher hopes it will.  A few questions to ponder. In what ways might analytic philosophy be inadequate for addressing social and political problems? Should philosophers focus on changing society or is their primary role to help us better understand the nature of reality? What does philosophy stand to lose by following Richard Rorty into his neopragmatist vision for the discipline? And where should we place our hope for the future?

SERMON THESIS- Jesus' sermon upon the Mount of Olives provides the historical and prophetic link connecting Daniel's 70th Week with John's Revelation. An understanding of Jesus' prophetic preaching requires insight into its historical setting and situation. This demands a sound structural outline of Jesus' teaching that captures the focus and the flow of His message from the Mount-----I. A STRUCTURAL Outline of Jesus' Olivet Discourse - vs.1-4----A. The Historical SETTING of Jesus' Sermon---- 1. Its PERIOD-- 2. Its PARTICIPANTS-- 3. Its PLACE-- 4. Its PROPHETIC PRELUDE-- 5. Its PREVENTATIVE PURPOSE----B. The Historical SITUATION of Jesus' Sermon---- 1. A Twofold REQUEST---- a. -When shall these things be---- b. -What shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of-- the world------ 2.

Jesus' answer to question 2 - Matthew 24----NOTE- It is imperative that we come to Matthew 24 understanding what it is, and what it is not- It is not a treatment of the disciple's first question concerning the Temple. It is a treatment of the disciples second question concerning eschatological events surrounding the future, physical, literal, and visible return of the Son of Man, and the passing of the world that now is, for the world that shall be- This establishes how Jesus' Olivet Discourse must be interpreted-

In the final episode of Season 1, we wrap up our series on Chaco and Southwest archaeology through a conversation with our fellow graduate student, Patrick Cruz. Patrick is a citizen of the Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo in New Mexico and he impresses upon us the importance of Indigenous perspectives in archaeological research and interpretations. Patrick reflects on his experiences visiting ancestral sites and being both an Indigenous person and an archaeologist.

The local newspaper is dying. Across the country, newsrooms are either shuttering completely or struggling through massive staff layoffs. It's becoming increasingly clear that in the void left by trusted local reporting, misinformation is taking root. A sweeping investigation by the New York Times uncovered a conservative pay-for-play network that disguises itself as unbiased local coverage. The enterprise includes 1300 sites spanning all 50 states, and with familiar web layouts and innocuous titles like Wichita Standard or Illinois Valley Times, you may have come across one and been none the wiser. New York Times reporter Davey Alba is one of the journalists who broke the story and joins to explain what tipped her off, who is behind it all, and the role social media plays in this moment.RELATED READING:As Local News Dies, a Pay-for-Play Network Rises in Its Place by Davey Alba and Jack NicasHere Are the Hundreds of Sites in a Pay-to-Play Local News NetworkFind more of Davey Alba’s work hereDozens of new websites appear to be Michigan local news outlets, but with political bent by Carol Thompson

Ben Green is the author of The Smart Enough City: Putting Technology in Its Place to Reclaim Our Urban Future (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2019). He is an Affiliate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard and a Research Fellow at the AI Now Institute at NYU. Ben studies the social and policy impacts of data science with a focus on algorithmic fairness, municipal governments, and the criminal justice system. In this episode of The PFF Podcast, Ben and Jeffrey discuss the powers and limitations of the "smart city" approach to urban design, emphasizing what Ben calls "smart enough" alternatives that leverage the power of technologies in the service of a holistic vision of social justice and inclusion.

The “smart city,” presented as the ideal, efficient, and effective for meting out services, has capture the imaginations of policymakers, scholars, and urban-dweller. But what are the possible drawbacks of living in an environment that is constantly collecting data? What important data is ignored when it is not easily translated into 1s and 0s? In his new book, The Smart Enough City: Putting Technology in Its Place to Reclaim Our Urban Future, critical data scientist Ben Green, an Affiliate and former Fellow at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard University and a PhD candidate in Applied Mathematics, critically examines what it means for a city to be smart enough to fulfill the promises of urbanism, while at the same time taking into account the very real drawbacks of constant data collection, and overreliance on digital technology. To do this, Green examines various case study examples, while offering philosophical and critical histories of the city-related technologies that have led us to this era.

In this episode, we talk to philosopher Robert Talisse about his new book Overdoing Democracy: Why We Must Put Politics in Its Place. Could it be that our politically polarized and oversaturated environment is undermining our democracy? How has this happened, and are there things that we can do to restore civic friendship and the conditions needed for healthy democracy?

Oliver Burkeman is a British journalist and author based in Brooklyn. We discuss his recent Guardian essay where he argues that excessive engagement with political news is unhealthy for individual wellbeing and for democracy.

    Ben Green: A More Inclusive Approach to Smart Cities Ben Green joined Joe Miller to discuss how stakeholders can develop a more inclusive approach to smart cities by engaging local residents. Bio Ben Green (@benzevgreen) is a PhD Candidate in Applied Math at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and an Affiliate at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at Harvard. He studies the implementation and impacts of data science in local governments, with a focus on “smart cities” and the criminal justice system. Analyzing the intersections of data science with law, policy, and social science, Ben focuses on the social justice and policy implications of data-driven algorithms deployed by governments. His forthcoming book, The Smart Enough City: Putting Technology in Its Place to Reclaim Our Urban Future, will be published in April 2019 with MIT Press (Amazon link). Ben’s research draws on his extensive experience working with data and technology in municipal government. He most recently spent a year working for the Citywide Analytics Team in the City of Boston, where he developed analytics to improve public safety operations and civic engagement strategies for the City’s new open data program. Ben previously worked as a Fellow at the Eric and Wendy Schmidt Data Science for Social Good Summer Fellowship, and partnered with the City of Memphis, TN using machine learning to identify blighted homes. He also worked for a year at the New Haven Department of Transportation, Traffic, and Parking, where he managed the deployment of new parking meter payment technology. Ben completed his undergraduate degree in Mathematics & Physics at Yale College. His graduate work has been funded by the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship and the Herbert Winokur SEAS Graduate Fellowship.

First, the Human Rights Coalition suspended Google from its rankings, for which Google had a perfect rating, because Google allowed an app promoting conversion therapy to remain in its app store. Google has since pulled the app. Also, several Googlers took aim at Google’s new Advanced Technology External Advisory Council (ATEAC) last week for naming Heritage Foundation President Kay Cole James as a member. Cole has repeatedly spoken out frequently against LGBTQ interests and trans folks in particular. So over a thousand Googlers signed on to a letter published on Medium opposing Cole’s appointment. NAACP President Derrick Johnson also criticized Google for failing to include civil rights leaders on the council. Facebook bans white nationalism and white separatism Facebook announced that it will now ban content promoting white nationalism and white separatism. The company will ban content with phrases that explicitly refer to white nationalism and white separatism. But Facebook said that finding implicit instances of white nationalism and white separatism will take some time for Facebook to learn how to identify. Mark Zuckerberg also wrote a Washington Post Op-Ed seeking a third-party tribunal that would reinforce Facebook’s efforts. Republican FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr weighed in opposing such a framework. Department of Housing and Urban Development now looking into Twitter and Google The Department of Housing and Urban Development, which has already sued Facebook for allowing real estate advertisers to exclude certain ethnicities and zip codes, is now investigating Twitter and Google as well, according to the Washington Post. IBM sued for age discrimination A group of IBM ex-employees sued the company in federal court in New York City for failing to disclose how many people it laid off who were over the age of 40. It’s the second lawsuit following a ProPublica report last year that documented rampant alleged age discrimination at the company. At issue is a provision in IBM’s separation agreement that requires employees to agree not to sue the company in exchange for severance pay. Google, Cuba work together to improve connectivity Google and Cuba’s state-run telecommunications monopoly ETECSA have agreed to begin negotiations on bringing better connectivity to the island. The agreement entails Google’s and ETECSA’s engineers working together to bring better connectivity to the island via Google’s points of presence in Florida, Mexico, and Colombia without having to pay the hefty interconnection fees it’s been paying to a third party carrier to connect  to Venezuela. Nipsey Hussle advocated for STEM Finally, Nipsey Hussle, the rapper and community champion who was murdered in front of his clothing shop in L.A. on Sunday, was an avid supporter of science, technology, engineering, and math education for underrepresented youth and diversity in tech. John Ketchum writes in AfroTech that in an LA Times interview last year, Hussle was quoted as saying that kids are often nudged to emulate athletes and entertainers but that there should be more messaging around emulating tech leaders like Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg.

Galen Strawson is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin. Amongst countless papers in metaphysics and philosophy of mind, Galen is the author of Freedom and Belief, The Subject of Experience, Consciousness and Its Place in Nature and most recently, Things That Bother Me: Death, Freedom, the Self, Etc.  The widespread impact of these works cannot be understated. In the words of Stephen Fry: Galen Strawson has a marvellous gift for untangling even the most complex lines in philosophical thinking and laying them straight. He writes with humour, clarity and always from a recognizably human place. Even the most complex and controversial areas in modern philosophy come into the light when you are in his benign company…. He opens windows and finds light-switches like no other philosopher writing today.

Drawing was an essential component of the Charlotte Mason feast of subjects, and this podcast episode describes her purpose for including this skill. If drawing intimidates or paralyzes you because of your own feelings of incompetence to instruct, Emily offers practical tips for opening the world of expression through drawing for your children of all ages.   "It is only what we have truly seen that we can truly reproduce, hence, observation is enormously trained by art teaching. Personally, I believe every living soul can learn to draw from actual objects, if the eye has not first been vitiated by seeing copies of them." (Miss Pennethorne, PR 10) "This is what we wish to do for children in teaching them to draw--to cause the eye to rest, not unconsciously, but consciously n some object of beauty which will leave in their minds an image of delight for all their lives to come." (Vol. 1, p. 313) "Art, when rightly directed, is educational, for it trains not only one faculty, but all the faculties together; it trains the hand and the eye, and it trains the head and the heart; it teaches us to see and to see truly; it teaches us to think--that science can do; but it teaches us also to admire and to love; it disciplines the emotions." (Mr. Collingwood, The Fesole Club Papers) "...the great benefit of "brushwork" being that it can be made quite a moral training in exactness and decision." (Mrs. Perrin, "Brush Drawing", PR 4) "Children should learn to draw as they learn to write. The great point is that they should be encouraged, not flattered. With no help and encouragement the child gradually loses his desire to draw." (Mrs. Steinthal, "Art Training in the Nursery", PR 1) "There are two great points that must be remembered if we wish to make our system of art teaching...successful. The first is, always keep the children interested. Next, let us understand that drawing is not only learnt with a pencil and a piece of paper....The chief value of drawing is that it trains the eye to see things as they are." (Mrs. Steinthal, PR 1) "...we must be careful not to offer any aids in the way of guiding lines, points, and other such crutches; and also that he should work in the easiest medium; that is, with paint-brush or with charcoal, and not with a black-lead pencil. Boxes of cheap colours are to be avoided. Children are worthy of the best." (Vol. 1, p. 313) "The first buttercup in a child's nature note book is shockingly crude, the sort of thing to scandalise a teacher of brush-drawing, but by and by another buttercup will appear with the delicate poise, uplift and radiance of the growing flower." (Vol. 6, p. 217) "Drawing is nothing to do with talent, but can be done with observation, intelligence and application--or by seeing, remembering and expressing and is a fundamentally educative subject."

Original sin, as descried by Danielle Shroyer is the 'red sock' in our theological laundry. In her new book, 'Original Blessing, Putting Sin in Its Place', Shroyer explores how we are not born separated from God as God has chosen fidelity over separation. We are not separate from God, and if we are, it's on our end.

Lin, Part 3: The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift.   Running Time: 1 hour 24 seconds   Less than five months after the release of Annapolis, Justin Lin was handed the keys to the Fast and the Furious franchise. His first of four consecutive sequels was The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. The film offers and interesting take on the franchise, expanding the mythology by focusing on entirely new characters instead of continuing the story established in the first two. Written by Chris Morgan, the movie features Lucas Black, Nathalie Kelley, Bow Wow, and Sung Kang.    In this episode of Commentary: Trek Stars, John and Mike are joined by Brandon of Melodic Treks to discuss Lin's third movie. We look at how it differs from the other films in the franchise thus far, the members of the crew who are joining Lin for Star Trek Beyond, and the return of Han from Better Luck Tomorrow. We also discuss news, including the release of J.J. Abrams' latest production, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and the casting of Shohreh Aghdashloo in Star Trek Beyond.   Chapters Tokyo Drift (00:02:54) Its Place in the Franchise (00:22:01) News (00:41:41) Wrap-up (00:52:14)   Hosts John Mills and Mike Schindler   Guest Brandon-Shea Mutala   Production Mike Schindler (Editor and Producer) C Bryan Jones (Executive Producer) Charlynn Schmiedt (Executive Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Norman C.
