Today we were delighted to welcome Dr. Carolyn Kissane, Associate Dean of Graduate Programs and Global Affairs at NYU's Center for Global Affairs. Dr. Kissane is a Lifetime Member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a Senior Fellow at the George H.W. Bush Foundation for US-China Relations, Co-Host of “The Clean Energy Revolution” Podcast, and Founding Director of NYU's Energy, Climate Justice, and Sustainability Lab. Carolyn earned her Ph.D. in Comparative Education and Political Science from Columbia University and has been with NYU since 2004. Her research focuses on energy, sustainability innovation and policy, and cybersecurity. We were thrilled to connect with Carolyn for an insightful discussion on energy and global affairs. In our conversation, Carolyn provides background on NYU's energy studies, its interdisciplinary approach, and the growing importance of understanding the connection between energy systems, economic security, and human security. Carolyn shares observations on the increasing focus on climate and energy security at the Council on Foreign Relations, especially with regards to trade and tariffs. We explore the changing dynamics of oil markets, the ineffectiveness of sanctions, the increase of rule-breaking in international trade, shifting student perceptions of energy, global energy dynamics and the U.S.'s competitive advantage due to its abundance of natural gas resources. We touch on Carolyn's experiences in Kazakhstan, the severity of the energy crisis in Europe and Germany's economic struggles, the difficulty of reversing these challenges due to regulatory and high energy costs, how bureaucratic challenges and regulatory barriers are slowing down development in Europe and the US, Javier Milei's political appeal, US energy competitiveness, and much more. We ended by asking Carolyn for her vision of climate policy leadership ten years from now. It was a broad-based discussion and we're thankful to Carolyn for sharing her time and unique insights. Mike Bradley kicked us off by highlighting broader equity market volatility, the beginning of Q3 Energy sector reporting, and observations regarding this week's plunge in crude oil price. On the broader equity market front, ASML Holding's stock priced plunged due to their semiconductor orders noticeably missing estimates which in turn pressured the “hot” Technology sector lower. Liberty Energy and SLB will be the first two oil service companies reporting Q3 results this week with investors focused on their NAM oil service activity & pricing outlook and international revenue guidance. On the crude oil front, WTI price plunged ~$5/bbl (~$70/bbl) this week due to three interrelated issues: Mideast supply concerns, a reduction in global oil demand estimates, and Brent oil traders recently repositioning themselves from a “net short” to a “net long” managed money futures trading position. Jeff Tillery added to Mike's comments and emphasized that the narrow range analysts are predicting for oil prices in 2025 is unlikely to be accurate and to consider the potential factors that could drive prices either higher or lower than consensus. We greatly enjoyed our global discussion with Carolyn today and hope you find it as interesting as we did. Our best to you all!

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: SAEs (usually) Transfer Between Base and Chat Models, published by Connor Kissane on July 18, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. This is an interim report sharing preliminary results that we are currently building on. We hope this update will be useful to related research occurring in parallel. Executive Summary We train SAEs on base / chat model pairs and find that SAEs trained on the base model transfer surprisingly well to reconstructing chat activations (and vice versa) on Mistral-7B and Qwen 1.5 0.5B. We also find that they don't transfer on Gemma v1 2B, and are generally bad at reconstructing

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Attention Output SAEs Improve Circuit Analysis, published by Connor Kissane on June 21, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. This is the final post of our Alignment Forum sequence produced as part of the ML Alignment & Theory Scholars Program - Winter 2023-24 Cohort. Executive Summary In a previous post we trained A ttention Output SAEs on every layer of GPT-2 Small. Following that work, we wanted to stress-test that Attention SAEs were genuinely helpful for circuit analysis research. This would both validate SAEs as a useful tool for mechanistic interpretability researchers, and provide evidence that they are identifying the real variables of the model's computation. We believe that we now have evidence that attention SAEs can: Help make novel mechanistic interpretability discoveries that prior methods could not make. Allow for tracing information through the model's forward passes on arbitrary prompts. In this post we discuss the three outputs from this circuit analysis work: 1. We use SAEs to deepen our understanding of the IOI circuit. It was previously thought that the indirect object's name was identified by tracking the names positions, whereas we find that instead the model tracks whether names are before or after "and". This was not noticed in prior work, but is obvious with the aid of SAEs. 2. We introduce "recursive direct feature attribution" (recursive DFA) and release an Attention Circuit Explorer tool for circuit analysis on GPT-2 Small (Demo 1 and Demo 2). One of the nice aspects of attention is that attention heads are linear when freezing the appropriate attention patterns. As a result, we can identify which source tokens triggered the firing of a feature. We can perform this recursively to track backwards through both attention and residual stream SAE features in models. 1. We also announce a $1,000 bounty for whomever can produce the most interesting example of an attention feature circuit by 07/15/24 as subjectively assessed by the authors. See the section "Even cooler examples" for more details on the bounty. 3. We open source HookedSAETransformer to SAELens, which makes it easy to splice in SAEs during a forward pass and cache + intervene on SAE features. Get started with this demo notebook. Introduction With continued investment into dictionary learning research, there still remains a concerning lack of evidence that SAEs are useful interpretability tools in practice. Further, while SAEs clearly find interpretable features (Cunningham et al.; Bricken et al.), it's not obvious that these features are true causal variables used by the model. In this post we address these concerns by applying our GPT-2 Small Attention SAEs to improve circuit analysis research. We start by using our SAEs to deepen our understanding of the IOI task. The first step is evaluating if our SAEs are sufficient for the task. We "splice in" our SAEs at each layer, replacing attention layer outputs with their SAE reconstructed activations, and study how this affects the model's ability to perform the task - if crucial information is lost by the SAE, then they will be a poor tool for analysis. At their best, we find that SAEs at the early-middle layers almost fully recover model performance, allowing us to leverage these to answer a long standing open question and discover novel insights about IOI. However, we also find that our SAEs at the later layers (and layer 0) damage the model's ability to perform the task, suggesting we'll need more progress in the science and scaling of SAEs before we can analyze a full end-to-end feature circuit. We then move beyond IOI and develop a visualization tool (link) to explore attention feature circuits on arbitrary prompts, introducing a new technique called recursive DFA. This technique exploits the fact that transformers are almost linear i...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Attention SAEs Scale to GPT-2 Small, published by Connor Kissane on February 3, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. This is an interim report that we are currently building on. We hope this update + open sourcing our SAEs will be useful to related research occurring in parallel. Produced as part of the ML Alignment & Theory Scholars Program - Winter 2023-24 Cohort Executive Summary In a previous post, we showed that sparse autoencoders (SAEs) work on the attention layer outputs of a two layer transformer. We scale our attention SAEs to GPT-2 Small, and continue to find sparse interpretable features in every layer. This makes us optimistic about our ongoing efforts scaling further, especially since we didn't have to do much iterating We open source our SAEs. Load them from Hugging Face or this colab notebook The SAEs seem good, often recovering more than 80% of the loss relative to zero ablation, and are sparse with less than 20 features firing on average. The majority of the live features are interpretable We continue to find the same three feature families that we found in the two layer model: induction features, local context features, and high level context features. This suggests that some of our lessons interpreting features in smaller models may generalize We also find new, interesting feature families that we didn't find in the two layer model, providing hints about fundamentally different capabilities in GPT-2 Small See our feature interface to browse the first 30 features for each layer Introduction In Sparse Autoencoders Work on Attention Layer Outputs we showed that we can apply SAEs to extract sparse interpretable features from the last attention layer of a two layer transformer. We have since applied the same technique to a 12-layer model, GPT-2 Small, and continue to find sparse, interpretable features in every layer. Our SAEs often recover more than 80% of the loss[1], and are sparse with less than 20 features firing on average. We perform shallow investigations of the first 30 features from each layer, and we find that the majority (often 80%+) of non-dead SAEs features are interpretable. interactive visualizations for each layer. We open source our SAEs in hope that they will be useful to other researchers currently working on dictionary learning. We are particularly excited about using these SAEs to better understand attention circuits at the feature level. See the SAEs on Hugging Face or load them using this colab notebook. Below we provide the key metrics for each SAE: L0 norm loss recovered dead features % alive features interpretable L0 3 99% 13% 97% L1 20 78% 49% 87% L2 16 90% 20% 95% L3 15 84% 8% 75% L4 15 88% 5% 100% L5 20 85% 40% 82% L6 19 82% 28% 75% L7 19 83% 58% 70% L8 20 76% 37% 64% L9 21 83% 48% 85% L10 16 85% 41% 81% L11 8 89% 84% 66% It's worth noting that we didn't do much differently to train these,[2] leaving us optimistic about the tractability of scaling attention SAEs to even bigger models. Excitingly, we also continue to identify feature families. We find features from all three of the families that we identified in the two layer model: induction features, local context features, and high level context features. This provides us hope that some of our lessons from interpreting features in smaller models will continue to generalize. We also find new, interesting feature families in GPT-2 Small, suggesting that attention SAEs can provide valuable hints about new[3] capabilities that larger models have learned. Some new features include: Successor features, which activate when predicting the next item in a sequence such as "15, 16" -> "17" (which are partly coming from Successor Heads in the model), and boost the logits of the next item. Name mover features, which predict a name in the context, such as in the IOI task Duplicate token f...

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Sparse Autoencoders Work on Attention Layer Outputs, published by Connor Kissane on January 16, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. This post is the result of a 2 week research sprint project during the training phase of Neel Nanda's MATS stream. Executive Summary We replicate Anthropic's MLP Sparse Autoencoder (SAE) paper on attention outputs and it works well: the SAEs learn sparse, interpretable features, which gives us insight into what attention layers learn. We study the second attention layer of a two layer language model (with MLPs). Specifically, rather than training our SAE on attn_output, we train our SAE on "hook_z" concatenated over all attention heads (aka the mixed values aka the attention outputs before a linear map - see notation here). This is valuable as we can see how much of each feature's weights come from each head, which we believe is a promising direction to investigate attention head superposition, although we only briefly explore that in this work. We open source our SAE, you can use it via this Colab notebook . Shallow Dives: We do a shallow investigation to interpret each of the first 50 features. We estimate 82% of non-dead features in our SAE are interpretable (24% of the SAE features are dead). See this feature interface to browse the first 50 features. Deep dives: To verify our SAEs have learned something real, we zoom in on individual features for much more detailed investigations: the "'board' is next by induction" feature, the local context feature of "in questions starting with 'Which'", and the more global context feature of "in texts about pets". We go beyond the techniques from the Anthropic paper, and investigate the circuits used to compute the features from earlier components, including analysing composition with an MLP0 SAE. We also investigate how the features are used downstream, and whether it's via MLP1 or the direct connection to the logits. Automation: We automatically detect and quantify a large "{token} is next by induction" feature family. This represents ~5% of the living features in the SAE. Though the specific automation technique won't generalize to other feature families, this is notable, as if there are many "one feature per vocab token" families like this, we may need impractically wide SAEs for larger models. Introduction In Anthropic's SAE paper, they find that training sparse autoencoders (SAEs) on a one layer model's MLP activations finds interpretable features, providing a path to breakdown these high dimensional activations into units that we can understand. In this post, we demonstrate that the same technique works on attention layer outputs and learns sparse, interpretable features! To see how interpretable our SAE is we perform shallow investigations of the first 50 features of our SAE (i.e. randomly chosen features). We found that 76% are not dead (i.e. activate on at least some inputs), and within the alive features we think 82% are interpretable. To get a feel for the features we find see our interactive visualizations of the first 50. Here's one example:[1] Shallow investigations are limited and may be misleading or illusory, so we then do some deep dives to more deeply understand multiple individual features including: "'board' is next, by induction" - one of many "{token} is next by induction" features "In questions starting with 'Which'" - a local context feature, which interestingly is computed by multiple heads "In pet context" - one of many high level context features Similar to the Anthropic paper's "Detailed Investigations", we understand when these features activate and how they affect downstream computation. However, we also go beyond Anthropic's techniques, and look into the upstream circuits by which these features are computed from earlier components. An attention layer (with frozen att...

Gene Kissane, Partner at Cole Scott & Kissane, John Nunnally, Attorney at Ragsdale Liggett, and Billy Davis, Partner at Bovis, Kyle, Burch & Medlin join Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. to talk about the hottest topic in the legal industry today: Artificial Intelligence. The group discuss their initial perspectives on how they think AI is going to impact the legal field and litigation, what the discussions are about AI in their firms, and how they are using AI today. They talk about whether AI is an existential threat to law firms and how lawyers will adapt their way of doing business since the introduction of AI. The group shares ideas about efficiencies that they can see when leveraging AI including as a starting place for drafts and for business process applications such as accounting and billing. They have a broader discussion about the billable hour and flat fees and how AI may have an impact there and how important it is to recognize the places where AI can help and where its not appropriate to use in the legal space. The group also talk about what clients may expect from their firms with regards to using AI as well as whether AI is an advantage for plaintiff's attorneys over defense attorneys. Lastly, the panel discusses how questions about using or not using AI in specific cases such as med mal and transportation may come into play and be leveraged as a potential new standard of care.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.06.30.547229v1?rss=1 Authors: Taccola, G., Kissane, R., Culaclii, S., Apicella, R., Liu, W., Gad, P., Ichiyama, R. M., Chakrabarty, S., Edgerton, R. Abstract: Highly varying patterns of electrostimulation (Dynamic Stimulation, DS) delivered to the dorsal cord through an epidural array with 18 independent electrodes transiently facilitate corticospinal motor responses, even after spinal injury. To partly unravel how corticospinal input are affected by DS, we introduced a corticospinal platform that allows selective cortical stimulation during the multisite acquisition of cord dorsum potentials (CDPs) and the simultaneous supply of DS. Firstly, the epidural interface was validated by the acquisition of the classical multisite distribution of CDPs on the dorsal cord and their input-output profile elicited by pulses delivered to peripheral nerves. Apart from increased EMGs, DS selectively increased excitability of the spinal interneurons that first process corticospinal input, without changing the magnitude of commands descending from the motor cortex, suggesting a novel correlation between muscle recruitment and components of cortically-evoked CDPs. Finally, DS increases excitability of post-synaptic spinal interneurons at the stimulation site and their responsiveness to any residual supraspinal control, thus supporting the use of electrical neuromodulation whenever the motor output is jeopardized by a weak volitional input, due to a partial disconnection from supraspinal structures and/or neuronal brain dysfunctions.

Josie Kissane’s two sons attend Kilgobnet National School in Beaufort. They’ve applied for school bus transport but are currently deemed ineligible. To determine eligibility for a school bus ticket, Bus Éireann measures the shortest traversable route from the child's home and this may not be less than 3.2 kilometres from the school. Bus Eireann has calculated that shortest traversable route for the Kissane children is 2 kilometres from Kilgobnet NS. However, Ms Kissane says this route is not traversable as it is on a bog road and the children must cross a stream.

Philly McMahon joins Sinéad Kissane and the Irish Independent's Conor McKeon for his weekly take on the Football Championship, with Cork v Kerry, the influence of soccer and the behaviour of managers on the sideline all up for discussion on the latest show. After Cork refusing to play Kerry in Killarney, they now face the Kingdom in Páirc Uí Rinn in the Munster Championship but are they onto a hiding to nothing? They've poked the bear and should be mindful, says Philly. The influence of soccer on the Cliffords and on Philly's own career is also discussed with Philly highlighting how spatial awareness is just one of the positives that can be brought into a player's Gaelic football career which we're seeing in spades with David Clifford. And what about managers micro-managing on the sidelines, will it eventually become a thing of the past? Philly reckons it should be, saying the game should go towards rugby where the manager is in the stands seeing what the players can't see. Plus there was also mention of that Cody-Shefflin handshake and what it all could mean…. Every Monday the Throw-In brings you the best insights and analysis from all the weekend GAA action.

With Dublin starting their Championship season with a visit to Wexford on Saturday off the back of relegation to Division 2, many are wondering if this year's Leinster football competition will be the most open in recent years and if this the opportunity to dethrone the Dubs in their province. On this week's show, Philly McMahon joins Sinéad Kissane and Conor McKeon to look ahead to the game and has advice for the Wexford players if he was in the dressing-room. Philly also discusses what Dublin need to address to ensure they approach this game in the right way. Plus, he highlights the importance of managerial continuity and why those counties that keep turning over their managers are, unsurprisingly, usually unsuccessful.

On this week's episode of The Left Wing, Will Slattery and Luke Fitzgerald are joined by South African rugby journalist AP Cronje to discuss the resurgence of the South African teams in the URC. The Bulls, Lions, Stormers and Sharks are a combined 18-2 at home against the rest of the competition, which is a complete turnaround to how they started the competition away from home. AP gives the lads the lowdown on the four South African franchises and says that enthusiasm is building for the tournament among the fans down there. The Springboks potentially joining the Six Nations, Leinster's defeat to the Sharks and Munster's win over Ulster are all up for discussion too.

Cliodhna Moloney joins Sinéad Kissane and Cian Tracey on the latest episode of the Left Wing to look ahead to Ireland's Women's Six Nations game against England in Leicester on Sunday. Cliodhna and Cian talk about the huge task awaiting Ireland against the number one ranked team in the world especially for an Irish team that is without most of its Sevens players who've been pulled from the squad ahead of their World Sevens Series in Canada. Cliodhna believes the players can use this as a motivating factor like the squad has done in the past. Sinéad also talks to Ireland hooker Neve Jones who's been one of the team's leading players in this Six Nations ahead of what's set to be a record attendance at Welford Road.

When does the ‘Dark Arts' cross the line between players on the GAA pitch? And is sledging on the rise? On this episode of Philly McMahon's Friday Throw-In, presented by Sinéad Kissane and with the Irish Independent's Donnchadh Boyle, the Dublin legend explains why he doesn't agree with the negative connotations attached to the ‘Dark Arts'. For him, it's about mental warfare and getting into your opponents' heads and he describes some of the personal abuse he has suffered at the hands of two players, something he didn't let go.

On this week's episode of The Left Wing, Will Slattery and Luke Fitzgerald are joined by Jonathan Bradley of The Belfast Telegraph to discuss the Champions Cup round of 16. Leinster and Munster march on to the quarter-finals after wins over Connacht and Exeter, with the southern province producing a classic Thomond Park performance to sweep Exeter aside. There was also drama in Belfast, as Ulster were pipped at the death by Toulouse. Jonathan starts off by telling the lads about the mood in Ulster as the province look to bounce back from the devastating defeat. Ulster's progress, Connacht's consistency issues, Leinster's tricky balancing act ahead of the quarter-final and Joey Carbery's resurgence are all up for discussion too.

Since their All Ireland triumph over Dublin last year there's been no stopping Meath who have now captured their first-ever League title and have made themselves favourites for the All Ireland this year, says Cork dual star legend, Rena Buckley, on this week's Throw-In podcast. Rena joined Sinéad Kissane and Donnchadh Boyle as they looked back on an impressive two point win over Donegal in Croke Park on Sunday that has laid down a marker for the summer. Also in the ladies football, in Division 2, Kerry beat Armagh by 1-12 to 0-12 to gain promotion to the top flight next season. Meanwhile, with the camogie Division 1 and 2 finals also on in Croke on Saturday, Wexford legend, Ursula Jacob joined Sinéad and Donnchadh on the show, and highlighted Galway's strength in-depth as they came back from six points down to beat Cork by four points. It's five wins in a row now over Cork for the reigning All Ireland champions but Ursula believes Cork can look ahead to another tilt at the All Ireland over the summer. She's tipping them to face Galway again. Elsewhere, in Division 2, Wexford beat Antrim by seven points to return to Division 1.

Cliodhna Moloney, the Wasps hooker who was a surprise omission from Ireland's Six Nations squad, joins Sinéad Kissane and Cian Tracey on the latest episode of the Left Wing to look ahead to Ireland's must-win game against Italy on Sunday. The big news is that Beibhinn Parsons is back in the first XV, one of six changes to the team. Eimear Considine drops out of the match-day 23 with Lucy Mulhall switching to full-back in a back-three consisting of Parsons and Amee-Leigh Murphy Crowe. Kathryn Dane, Christy Haney and Hannah O'Connor have all been promoted to the starting line-up as well.

The Data Protection Commission has fined the Bank of Ireland €463,000 after an investigation found thousands of customers’ data had been accidentally altered in such a way that it could have damaged their credit ratings and prevented them from getting loans. Financial expert and advocates for those caught up in the tracker mortgage payments scandal, Pádraic Kissane from Lisselton gives his view to Jerry.

On this week's episode of The Left Wing, Will Slattery and Luke Fitzgerald are joined by Ruaidhrí O'Connor to discuss Leinster's big win over Munster and Ireland women's head coach Greg McWilliams to discuss the Six Nations campaign to date. Leinster secured a big win in Thomond Park to head into Champions Cup action in style, but both Luke and Ruaidhrí are worried about Munster's prospects after another damaging defeat to their biggest rival. Joey Carbery's best position, Leinster's Champions Cup chances and Munster's head coach search are all up for discussion too. Greg McWilliams then joins the lads to discuss how he feels Ireland have performed in the Women's Six Nations so far. Despite two defeats from two, McWilliams thinks there are reasons to be hopeful ahead of Sunday's game against Italy.

Kerry are the 2022 football league champions with a fifteen point hammering of Mayo over the weekend but it was David Clifford's magic that once again set the game apart. Donnchadh Boyle and Dick Clerkin joined Sinéad Kissane on this week's Throw-In podcast to discuss all the football action and while Clifford's 1-06 was breathtaking, it's the rest of his game that really makes him special says Clerkin. “He is so creative, not just with himself, and to me that almost sets him apart. He just does so much damage to a team - again not just from his own boot, but from his own hands and vision - you could probably associate at least a goal and fifteen to him directly yesterday. It's just a phenomenal return for one player in an attacking unit that you know I've never seen myself, but I guess we're just privileged to be watching it at the minute.” Roscommon collected the Division 2 title with an injury time goal to seal the win over Galway while Cavan took Division 4 with victory over Tipperary and in Division 3 Mickey Harte continues to work his managerial wonders with Louth's win over Limerick that sees the Wee County return to Division 2. Meanwhile, in the hurling, John Mullane joined Sinéad and Donnchadh to look back on Waterford's fourth hurling league title after the Déise beat Cork by six points and 2022 could be a special year for the county he says. “They went up, collected the cup, took the congratulations, took the pats on the back and it was a case of we move on, Championship in two weeks' time and that's a sign of a really, really good team and what possibly could become a great team. They know what they want to achieve and I think everything's in place for them to go and possibly achieve the ultimate this year.” Every Monday the Throw-In brings you the best insights and analysis from all the weekend GAA action.

On the latest Left Wing podcast Sinéad Kissane previews Ireland women's Six Nations crunch clash against France with Cian Tracey and former Ireland captain, Claire Molloy. The big talking point has been coach Greg McWilliams' decision to keep Beibhinn Parsons on the bench and sticking with the starting XV that lost 27-17 to Wales in their opening match. It will be a daunting trip to Toulouse to one of the game's power houses where Ireland have never won and neither Claire nor Cian expect this record to be broken on Saturday. But an improved performance will be green shoots pointing in the right direction. For more rugby discussion and analysis, don't forget to join Will and Luke on the Left Wing next Wednesday.

Peat, who played her final game for Ireland last November, spoke about the turbulent months for Irish women's rugby following the failure to qualify for this year's World Cup and Cian also spoke about the challenges ahead for this Irish team who will be the only team in this Six Nations who won't also compete in this year's World Cup. Flanker Edel McMahon who is in the starting XV for Saturday, was also on the show telling Sinéad about the mood in the Irish camp ahead of the Welsh game.

On the final day of the St Patrick's Festival, the Indo Daily hosts a special live episode from the festival's quarters at Collins Barrack in Dublin City. And to celebrate all things Irish, we're looking at the quirks and foibles engrained in the Irish personality. We might be shy in praising our own at home, but put one of our actors, peacekeepers, writers, singers and sports stars on a global stage and we'll shout our support from the rooftops. The jury is still out on Bono, however.

Iain Henderson, Jack Conan and Mack Hansen all start as Andy Farrell's side look to win a first Six Nations title since 2018 - provided England can do Ireland a favour against France. Meanwhile, Scotland have dropped out-half Finn Russell and have opted for rookie ten Blair Kinghorn. Will that decision come back to haunt Gregor Townsend? Can Ireland win an unlikely Six Nations title? Luke is tipping England beat France anyway...

The football league action dominated over the weekend but it was off-pitch that was generating much of the headlines with Tom Parsons saying the GPA were prepared to take further action in the players' stand-off with the GAA over expenses. However, Dick Clerkin, who joined Will Slattery, Sinéad Kissane and Donnchadh Boyle on this week's Throw-In podcast believes that a conversation over player welfare needs to take precedence over expenses first. “What are the GPA looking for in terms of a sustainable model for the intercounty game?” he asked on the show. “Because I don't think anybody could agree that it should be ok that a county team should be asked to train seven days a week around the Championship season and that can be funded carte blanche because that's effectively what Tom Parsons was saying. If it is the case with the county teams now that it's the norm to be asked to train five to six times a week, that's not sustainable, that's not fair and it's not sustainable.” Back to on-pitch matters, Dublin finally got their first league win of the year with a victory over Tyrone in Omagh, albeit against a very poor Tyrone performance and it begs the question will the defending All-Ireland champions even get out of Ulster at this rate? In Tralee on Saturday night, Kerry edged out Mayo with a last-minute free but the panellists were predicting this could be the dress rehearsal for something bigger in Croke Park come the summer. Meanwhile, in Division 2, Cork's footballers are staring relegation in the face after another defeat, this time at the hands of Meath, and the question everybody is asking is, what has happened to Cork football and how can things improve?

Philly McMahon joins Sinéad Kissane and Conor McKeon on this week's Throw-In to look back on the main football league action and with the Dubs fourth loss in a row the big talking point. It's too easy and too lazy to blame the manager or the players he tells Sinéad when trying to explain the Dubs' defeat to Kildare. “It's complex, it's a collective shift of mindset that's needed right now. I think there has to be a spin off of you know this is what you've been fed in terms of information from outside that's impacted on the pitch, so what I'm saying basically is in a nutshell, the players are performing what they are thinking, right? You essentially are what you think.” The panel also discuss the other Division 1 games including Mayo and Kerry leading the charge while, looking ahead to the Dubs' next game against Tyrone, it's a battle, says Philly that he would have relished and should be a challenge to excite the players. Meanwhile, John Mullane was on the show to look back on the weekend hurling action and he's excited by the performance put in by Cork with their defeat of Limerick. “It's the first time I really thought to myself, Cork, back when Ó'hAilpín and Gardiner, the Rock, that team we came up against, it was the first time I said to myself this Cork team really mean business. They've been knocking on the door the last couple of years, they got to the All-Ireland final last year, but if you're a Cork supporter waking up this morning, you'd be some way excited of what you seen yesterday and I thought they were magnificent.” Plus, Mullane and McKeon discuss Dublin's victory over Tipp giving manager, Mattie Kenny, a level of consistency he's been looking for from his team, while Wexford are also coming in under the radar with three wins from three.

As President Biden's first year in office coincides with the 50th anniversary of President Nixon's announcement that he would visit the People's Republic of China, it seemed like a good time for a group of experts to try to re-imagine U.S.- China relations. "From Trump to Biden and Beyond" is the result of their efforts. It provides insights into global issues that will define America and China now and in the future, including tech innovation, energy and climate cooperation, engagement with Latin America, cross-Strait relations and the Indo-Pacific, among others. It suggests ways for Washington to articulate a new set of values, objectives, and tactics to define the most important bilateral relationship in the world and address the challenges it presents. In an interview conducted on November 12, 2021, Earl Carr and Carolyn Kissane discussed ways in which the Biden administration might deal with the challenges presented by the Sino-American relationship.

Today we are joined by Rebecca Joyce Kissane, Professor of Sociology at Lafayette University, and Sarah Winslow, Professor of Sociology at Clemson University, who together are the authors of Whose Game?: Gender and Power in Fantasy Sports (Temple University Press, 2020). In our conversation, we discussed why people play fantasy sports, how men and women experience fantasy sports differently, and what possibilities might exist for real transformation of the masculinist sports world. Whose Game is an incisive analysis of the classed and gendered politics of fantasy sports. Kissane and Winslow take fantasy sport seriously and unpack the ways in which fantasy sports reify and reproduce the class and gendered relations of power in social networks, workplaces and families. They argue that fantasy sports privilege behaviours typically coded male such as competitiveness, the pursuit of dominance, and the need for control. They examine how those elements of fantasy gameplay shape men's and women's experiences of playing fantasy sports. Kissane and Winslow develop the concept of jock statsculinity, as a mediated form of fantasy sports masculinity that challenges more normative notions of hegemonic masculinity. Through fantasy sports, a wider range of men can participate in traditionally masculinity activities, including competition and banter, without regard to their physical capabilities. Fantasy sports thus open normative masculinity to a wider range of people than hegemonic masculinity. At the same time, Kissane and Winslow stress that not all men have equal access to jock statsculinity – white, professional men are much more likely to take part in it. Women who want to participate in the fantasy sports world learn to navigate the space as a powerfully masculine and hetero normative space. Fantasy sports ostensibly offer women an opportunity to compete with men on a level playing field, but those spaces and the common behaviours there are coded as male. Women who play fantasy sports may face harassment, but they almost always experience marginalization and belittlement. Nevertheless, for many women, fantasy provides a way to win some of the social benefits of masculinity and/or transgress them. Fantasy sports offer both men and women new opportunities to build connections with their relatives, co-workers, and people with similar interests, but in the realm of fantasy sport, both men and women prioritize building relationships with other men. At the same time, as Kissane and Winslow point out, even though they occupy a privileged position in the fantasy sports world social structure, men also suffer from their engagement with jock statsculinity. Men report much higher rates of emotional impact from fantasy sport. Many men spend considerable amounts of time – perhaps too much time away from their loved ones - setting their line-ups and researching matchups. Whose Game is a wide-ranging analysis and discussion of many of the key issues facing both male and female fantasy sports fans from two leading sports sociologists. Their work will be of general interest to sports fans, but particularly useful for people teaching about sports sociology, gender and politics.

Today we are joined by Rebecca Joyce Kissane, Professor of Sociology at Lafayette University, and Sarah Winslow, Professor of Sociology at Clemson University, who together are the authors of Whose Game?: Gender and Power in Fantasy Sports (Temple University Press, 2020). In our conversation, we discussed why people play fantasy sports, how men and women experience fantasy sports differently, and what possibilities might exist for real transformation of the masculinist sports world. Whose Game is an incisive analysis of the classed and gendered politics of fantasy sports. Kissane and Winslow take fantasy sport seriously and unpack the ways in which fantasy sports reify and reproduce the class and gendered relations of power in social networks, workplaces and families. They argue that fantasy sports privilege behaviours typically coded male such as competitiveness, the pursuit of dominance, and the need for control. They examine how those elements of fantasy gameplay shape men's and women's experiences of playing fantasy sports. Kissane and Winslow develop the concept of jock statsculinity, as a mediated form of fantasy sports masculinity that challenges more normative notions of hegemonic masculinity. Through fantasy sports, a wider range of men can participate in traditionally masculinity activities, including competition and banter, without regard to their physical capabilities. Fantasy sports thus open normative masculinity to a wider range of people than hegemonic masculinity. At the same time, Kissane and Winslow stress that not all men have equal access to jock statsculinity – white, professional men are much more likely to take part in it. Women who want to participate in the fantasy sports world learn to navigate the space as a powerfully masculine and hetero normative space. Fantasy sports ostensibly offer women an opportunity to compete with men on a level playing field, but those spaces and the common behaviours there are coded as male. Women who play fantasy sports may face harassment, but they almost always experience marginalization and belittlement. Nevertheless, for many women, fantasy provides a way to win some of the social benefits of masculinity and/or transgress them. Fantasy sports offer both men and women new opportunities to build connections with their relatives, co-workers, and people with similar interests, but in the realm of fantasy sport, both men and women prioritize building relationships with other men. At the same time, as Kissane and Winslow point out, even though they occupy a privileged position in the fantasy sports world social structure, men also suffer from their engagement with jock statsculinity. Men report much higher rates of emotional impact from fantasy sport. Many men spend considerable amounts of time – perhaps too much time away from their loved ones - setting their line-ups and researching matchups. Whose Game is a wide-ranging analysis and discussion of many of the key issues facing both male and female fantasy sports fans from two leading sports sociologists. Their work will be of general interest to sports fans, but particularly useful for people teaching about sports sociology, gender and politics.

Contributor: Professor Bill Kissane Talk Title: The Partition of Ireland in a Global Context Talk Synopsis: This talk explores partition in an international context and also the similarities and differences between what happened in Ireland and elsewhere, including Cyprus, India and Palestine. It suggests that most partitions are ‘provisional' because they ‘fail to resolve conflicts' and looks at ‘the identity shifts that occur when borders change' and what these meant (and mean) in an Irish context. It looks at how majority rule ‘polarised rather than reconciled' communities in Northern Ireland and the way in which Partition led to ‘consolidation and identity formation based on religion' in the decades that followed. And it concludes by considering what the experience and effect of partition might mean for future attempts to resolve deep-seated territorial  conflicts.

Pre-COVID, legal professionals operated in a world centered around in-person interactions; meeting with clients, colleagues, appearing in court, attending mediations, the list goes on. COVID took all human interactions virtual and now even happy hours happen on Zoom. While we are cautiously optimistic that soon we'll slowly start making our way back into the office and gathering in-person, some firms are permanently integrating the tech-centered changes that worked well for them during COVID. In this episode, hosts Christine Bilbrey and Karla Eckardt speak with Rochelle Birnbaum Chiocca about shifting from traditional in-person methods used to recruit, hire, and onboard new employees to accomplishing it all in a virtual setting. They discuss the benefits, and some of the pitfalls, of the virtual process and offer some practical tips and resources available to solo, small, and large firms alike.  Rochelle Birnbaum Chiocca is a partner in the West Palm Beach office of Cole, Scott & Kissane.  For the past twenty years, her practice has focused on construction defect litigation, premises liability matters, and insurance coverage disputes. Rochelle became Cole, Scott & Kissane's Director of Recruiting in February 2020.  She is responsible for the hiring of law clerks and attorneys at all fourteen offices of Florida's largest law firm.  This podcast has been approved by The Florida Bar Continuing Legal Education Department for 1 hour of General CLE credit.

The Angel of the Annunciation (1953) by Patrick Hennessy is at once simple and complex. The composition of two seemingly religious sculptures on the shore, against a backdrop of a glistening sea and clouded sky, may appear straightforward. However, when we question why these figures are placed here, who they represent, and what their relationship is to one another, then things become less clear.A clue may be found in the title of the work, which suggests the winged figure to be the Archangel Gabriel, the messenger who reputedly announced the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. To follow this thought, we would expect the figure in the distance to be the Virgin Mary, but instead we find an androgynous sculptural form in French Gothic style.One interpretation suggests that the subject may be taken from the Book of Revelation, in which Christ meets Gabriel, and thus the painting may relate to the beginning and the end (apocalypse). More likely is that, as relics of a previous order these out-of-place statues have lost their power, and as Seán Kissane suggests, are “irrelevant in a modern world.”This startling, yet cryptic painting may also be rooted in the artist's Catholic upbringing. Cork-born artist Patrick Hennessy (1915-1980) grew up in Scotland, but later returned to Ireland where he lived with his partner, and fellow artist, Henry Robertson Craig. Navigating a markedly conservative society as a gay man, Hennessy often encoded, consciously or otherwise, homosexual identity in his work and the tensions that arise between the public and authentic self.As such, we would like to celebrate Cork Pride Festival (19-25 October) with this online contribution to the history of Irish LGBT+ culture.

Viv shares her personal experience of perinatal mental illness and how her lived experience became what is now a 100% peer-lead organisation with lived experiences of perinatal mental illness.The statistics for perinatal mental health cannot be ignored and are quite probably underestimating the number of women and men suffering from perinatal mental health disorders.“It doesn't matter if you have a huge support network, if you have the dream unicorn baby that sleeps through the night or what your financial situation is mental illness can impact anyone”. We discuss:Differentiating normal parental concerns, anxieties vs postnatal depression and anxiety disordersThe common signs and symptoms of postnatal depression and anxietyBaby bluesOther mental health disorders in the perinatal periodMale perinatal mental healthResources to accesshttps://www.cope.org.auhttps://www.panda.org.auhttps://gidgetfoundation.org.auhttps://www.mumspace.com.au https://cope.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/COPE-Community-awareness-Research-Summary.pdfhttps://peachtree.org.auhttp://www.mrdad.com.au https://www.cope.org.au/family-community/fathers-partners/adjusting-parenthood/https://www.howisdadgoing.org.auhttps://www.beyondblue.org.au/who-does-it-affect/men https://healthyfamilies.beyondblue.org.au/pregnancy-and-new-parents/just-speak-up
