Editors Altie Karper and Todd Portnowitz sat down with "The Shmooze" to talk about Chaim Grade's novel "Sons & Daughters" (Knopf)—newly translated into English by Rose Waldman. Originally serialized in the 1960s and 1970s in New York–based Yiddish newspapers, Grade's "Sons and Daughters" tells the story of a way of life that is no longer. In conversation Altie and Todd tell the incredible backstory of how the work came to publication and why the newly translated novel has been lauded as the “last great Yiddish novel.” Episode 393 June 30, 2025 Amherst, MA

Fitted with modular shipping containers, themselves the product of standardized global trade, the ship could become whatever the market demanded. Whether caught in an international dispute involving Hong Kong, Nigeria, Indonesia, and the Virgin Islands—to be settled in an English court of law—or flying yet another foreign “flag of convenience” to mask its ownership—the barge is ever a container for forces much larger than even its hulking self.Empty Vessel: The Story of the Global Economy in One Barge is a jaw-dropping microhistory that speaks volumes about the global economy as a whole. In following the Vessel—and its Sister Vessel, built alongside it in Stockholm—from one thankless task to the next, Kumekawa connects the dots of a neoliberal world order in the making, where regulation is for suckers and “Made in USA” feels almost quaint.

Das Felixphone ist ein sprechendes Mobiltelefon aus Italien – entwickelt für blinde, sehbehinderte und ältere Menschen. Drei Varianten gibt es mittlerweile: Das Standardmodell mit vorinstallierten Programmen, das Felixphone Pro mit KI-Funktionen – und ganz neu: das Felixphone Lite mit nur einem einzigen physischen Knopf. Damit lassen sich Anrufe und SMS per Sprachsteuerung auslösen, ganz ohne Internetverbindung. Zur SightCity 2025 wurde zudem eine überarbeitete Tastatur vorgestellt, die auf Nutzerfeedback hin spürbar verbessert wurde. Auffallend ist auch das geringe Gewicht des Geräts – deutlich leichter als vergleichbare Modelle. Ein Vertriebspartner für Deutschland wird noch gesucht – das Interesse scheint aber zu wachsen.

Interviews by Brainard Carey

phot of the artist by Ralph Gabriner Dena Schutzer in her fifth solo show at Bowery Gallery in New York City titled “Agitation and Retreat”, describes the work saying, “Together, these oil paintings are a chronicle of observed moments in public and private spaces.” Schutzer's imagery reflects this wide-open approach—what has caught her eye ranges from a view of a New York street in the giant shadows of looming new skyscrapers, to an intimate scene of the artist's elderly mother taking a bath. Intuiting a kind of drama in these elements of direct perception provides what Schutzer calls the “initial jolt” that impels her to respond in paint. For Schutzer this mysterious process—the joy and struggle of proceeding from that first sensation to a new, composed reality on the canvas--has everything to do with her pleasure in the possibilities of paint itself.  Her loose but decisive brushwork and bold color tensions and harmonies—acid greens, clashing blues, pervasive violets—don't let go of the viewer until one has taken in all the oppositions, juxtapositions, parallels from which her brushstroke emerges, still present as a brushstroke, but also, finally, as an essential part of a new and highly personal image. Dena Schutzer has had 5 solo shows with the Bowery Gallery in NYC, and has been in group shows at The Painting Center-NYC, Westbeth-NYC, Washington Art Association-CT, Kingsborough College-Brooklyn, Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition-BWAC, Hudson Park Library-NYC, Romano Gallery-NJ, Irvington Library, Yonkers Riverfront Library, TC Columbia U- Macy Gallery. She taught painting and was head of the art department at the Abraham Joshua Heschel High School in NYC for 21 years, has been a visiting teaching artist at schools throughout Westchester County and NYC.  She illustrated six children's books for Simon and Schuster, Knopf, and Scholastic among others, and her editorial illustrations have been published in newspapers and magazines including The NY Times, The New Yorker and NY Newsday. Schutzer attended Skowhegan, NY Studio School, BFA from Suny at Purchase, MFA (in Film) from Yale University, MFA in Art Ed at Columbia University. “Buildings, Yellow Cloud”, oil on canvas, 16”x12”, 2025 “Arm Outstretched”, oil on canvas, 12”x16”, 2023 “Four Men Working”, oil on canvas, 18”x20”, 2024

Dabei handelt es sich um eine einfache Tastaturabdeckung, die alle Tasten bis auf das Lautstärkerädchen verdeckt. So wird aus dem multifunktionalen Daisy-Player ein Gerät mit nur einer einzigen Bedienfunktion – ideal für Einsteiger oder Menschen, die sich von zu vielen Tasten überfordert fühlen. Im Gespräch mit Nurei Gürler erklären wir, wie sich die Daisybox mit dem Easy Cover automatisch einschaltet, Hörbücher wiedergibt und pausiert – alles über denselben Dreh-Drück-Knopf. Neue Hörbücher werden selbstständig gestartet, gelesene entfernt. Wer später mehr möchte, nimmt das Cover einfach wieder ab.

Trigger in Beziehungen sind oft das, was uns den Boden unter den Füßen wegzieht. Ein Wort, ein Blick, ein Verhalten – und plötzlich sind wir nicht mehr die erwachsene, reflektierte Version von uns selbst, sondern ein verletztes inneres Kind, das mit Flucht, Angriff oder Rückzug reagiert. Viele Menschen nehmen diesen Moment als Zeichen dafür, dass etwas mit der Beziehung nicht stimmt. Doch was, wenn genau hier der größte Schatz verborgen liegt? Was, wenn Trigger in Beziehungen keine Fehler sind, sondern Wegweiser? In diesem Beitrag beleuchten wir, woher Trigger kommen, wie wir mit ihnen umgehen können und warum sie sogar Teil gesunder Beziehungen sein können. In der heutigen Podcastfolge bespreche ich mit dir unter anderem: ·      Was sind Trigger in Beziehungen?·      Wenn toxische Beziehungen anklopfen·      Liebe braucht Wachstum und Wachstum braucht SchmerzIm Kern bedeutet ein Trigger in Beziehungen etwas, das tief in uns einen Knopf drückt – einen emotionalen, körperlichen oder mentalen „Knopf“ aus der Vergangenheit. Vielleicht spürst du, wie dein Herz schneller schlägt, wenn bestimmte Worte fallen, oder dein Körper pulsiert, wenn Nähe entsteht.In Momenten, in denen dich etwas im Außen stark bewegt, erinnere dich daran: Nicht der andere ist das Problem. Dein Trigger zeigt dir, wo du dich selbst noch nicht ganz gesehen hast.Ich habe für dich einen Onlinekurs, die Heldinnenreise. Diese wunderschöne Reise gibt dir alle Tools mit an die Hand, um dir dein selbstbestimmtes Leben aufzubauen. Du kannst deine toxische Beziehung mehr und mehr loslassen und vor allem lernst du dich als Frau im tiefsten Kern kennen.

The extraordinary life of forgotten World War II hero Evans Carlson, commander of America's first special forces, secret confidant of FDR, and one of the most controversial officers in the history of the Marine Corps, who dedicated his life to bridging the cultural divide between the United States and China“He was a gutsy old man.” “A corker,” said another. “You couldn't find anyone better.” They talked about him in hushed tones. “This Major Carlson,” wrote one of the officers in a letter home, “is one of the finest men I have ever known.”These were the words of the young Marines training to be among the first U.S. troops to enter the Second World War—and the Major Carlson they spoke of was Evans Carlson, a man of mythical status even before the war that would make him a military legend.By December of 1941, at the age of forty-five, Carlson had already faced off against Sandinistas in the jungles of Nicaragua and served multiple tours in China, where he embedded with Mao's Communist forces during the Sino-Japanese War. Inspired by their guerilla tactics and their collaborative spirit—which he'd call “gung ho,” introducing the term to the English language—and driven by his own Emersonian ideals of self-reliance, Carlson would go on to form his renowned Marine Raiders, the progenitors of today's special operations forces, who fought behind Japanese lines on Makin Island and Guadalcanal, showing Americans a new way to do battle.In The Raider, Cundill Prize–winning historian Stephen R. Platt gives us the first authoritative account of Carlson's larger-than-life exploits: the real story, based on years of research including newly discovered diaries and correspondence in English and Chinese, with deep insight into the conflicted idealism about the Chinese Communists that would prove Carlson's undoing in the McCarthy era.Tracing the rise and fall of an unlikely American war hero, The Raider is a story of exploration, of cultural (mis)understanding, and of one man's awakening to the sheer breadth of the world.

Der neue Erzählband «Frauen und Steine» klopft mit Witz und Esprit patriarchale Strukturen und Versteinerungen ab. Wie kommen Frauen da raus? Regina Dürig schweift durch Epochen und Stile auf der Suche nach Antworten.

Shaun Walker, The Illegals (Knopf, 2025) is the definitive history of Russia's most secret spy program, from the earliest days of the Soviet Union to Putin's invasion of Ukraine, and a revelatory examination of how that hidden history shaped both Russia and the West.More than a century ago, the new Bolshevik government began sending Soviet citizens abroad as deep-cover spies, training them to pose as foreign aristocrats, merchants, and students. Over time, this grew into the most ambitious espionage program in history. Many intelligence agencies use undercover operatives, but the KGB was the only one to go to such lengths, spending years training its spies in language and etiquette, and sending them abroad on missions that could last for decades. These spies were known as “illegals.” During the Second World War, illegals were dispatched behind enemy lines to assassinate high-ranking Nazis. Later, in the Cold War, they were sent to assimilate and lie low as sleepers in the West. The greatest among them performed remarkable feats, while many others failed in their missions or cracked under the strain of living a double life.Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews, as well as archival research in more than a dozen countries, Shaun Walker brings this history to life in a page-turning tour de force that takes us into the heart of the KGB's most secretive program.

Shaun Walker, The Illegals (Knopf, 2025) is the definitive history of Russia's most secret spy program, from the earliest days of the Soviet Union to Putin's invasion of Ukraine, and a revelatory examination of how that hidden history shaped both Russia and the West.More than a century ago, the new Bolshevik government began sending Soviet citizens abroad as deep-cover spies, training them to pose as foreign aristocrats, merchants, and students. Over time, this grew into the most ambitious espionage program in history. Many intelligence agencies use undercover operatives, but the KGB was the only one to go to such lengths, spending years training its spies in language and etiquette, and sending them abroad on missions that could last for decades. These spies were known as “illegals.” During the Second World War, illegals were dispatched behind enemy lines to assassinate high-ranking Nazis. Later, in the Cold War, they were sent to assimilate and lie low as sleepers in the West. The greatest among them performed remarkable feats, while many others failed in their missions or cracked under the strain of living a double life.Drawing on hundreds of hours of interviews, as well as archival research in more than a dozen countries, Shaun Walker brings this history to life in a page-turning tour de force that takes us into the heart of the KGB's most secretive program.

It is actually based in restriction.” - Dr. Erin Knopf “You have to be intentional and really look for ways to create balance.” - Dr. Erin Knopf “It's[SSRIs] not necessarily causing any damage or harm, but it's certainly not going to give them the benefit that they are waiting for.” - Dr. Erin Knopf “There is no medication I can give to make the “nutritional restoration process”, weight gain happen with just a pill. There's no such thing.” - Dr. Erin Knopf “Health biometrics are so much better looked at from a vitals perspective, lab perspective, functionality perspective, quality of life too.” - Dr. Erin Knopf “ There's so many questions when it comes to medications and eating disorders, especially because there isn't a clear cut answer.
