Dr. Love discusses why energy is so important in studies of the climate transition, and why the field of anthropology is well-suited to the study of energy in terms of the field's history and premise. Economic anthropologists, in particular, are well positioned to explore the inter-disciplinarity of energy and the economy. Sandy also drew on Tom's past explorations of peak oil and more recently his involvement with colleagues in ongoing work in net energy (Energy Returned on Energy Invested) to interrogate why these debates remain highly relevant to the climate transition. Finally, Sandy talked with her guest about his most recent work as a co-founder and developer with other colleagues of the Planetary Limits Academic Network (PLAN) website – which is providing a forum for these discussions and for public scholarship. Guest Bio: Tom is emeritus professor of anthropology at Linfield College, McMinnville, Oregon. He co-edited the Cultures of Energy reader with Sarah Strauss and Stephanie Rupp (Left Coast Press, 2013, 2016) and authored The Independent Republic of Arequipa (University of Texas Press, 2017). He co-edited with Cindy Isenhour a 2016 issue of Economic Anthropology on “Energy and Economy.” Tom has done field research on solar energy in rural Peru.

In this week's episode of In the Den, Jen talks with Reverend Adam Ericksen as he breaks down some of the most common theology surrounding LGBTQ folks today.  Reconciling theological beliefs with our desires to support our LGBTQ child is often a significant part of the journey for religious parents when their child comes out as LGBTQ. Deconstructing theology can be a big hurdle when it comes to loving and celebrating our kids. We have a large number of listeners who are processing religious trauma, and Pastor Adam offers insight and counsel on ways to engage with theology and religion in affirming and healing ways. Holding on to our faith and supporting our queer kids do not have to be mutually exclusive, and both can be part of our journeys. Special Guest: Reverend Adam EricksenRev. Adam Ericksen has served as the Clackamas United Church of Christ's Pastor since 2018. He is a graduate of Linfield College where he majored in Religious Studies.

In this episode Darren Hemming speaks to Stefan from Lingfield College about the rollout and adoption of 1:1 devices. Find out more about Cloud Design Box at https://www.clouddesignbox.co.ukThe benefits of 1:1 devices in schools with Lingfield CollegeThe Director of Digital Learning at Linfield College talks about the school's plan to roll out per-student devices to every student and the challenges and benefits that come with digital transformation. Lingfield College is a co-educational independent school in Surrey for pupils aged two to eighteen. Stefan Hagen is the Director of Digital Learning and works with his team to help drive digital learning within the school, working with the school's partner companies – including Cloud Design Box – to deliver quality technology to staff and students.  The school has bold plans to introduce a per-student device policy – eventually rolling out touch-screen laptops to every student within the school.  In this podcast episode, we discuss the challenges of moving to blended learning, as well as the many benefits that come with a 1:1 device policy in education.  Stefan also outlines what the school has done so far to lay the foundations for this digital learning strategy and what the plan is to accomplish their goal of per-student devices.  A vision for cloud-based learning. Lingfield College had begun looking at ways to “get digital moving”, as Stefan puts it before the pandemic.  But, things didn't move as quickly as they had hoped and as the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns hit in the UK, the school had to move quickly to deliver quality lessons via Microsoft Teams.  “When we returned to the classroom after lockdown, I was keen to keep the momentum that we had built up going, encouraging staff members to use Teams and OneDrive,” Stefan explains. “However, I realised that many people were fed up with computer screens and that we had to move more slowly and carefully to get everyone on board.”  It was around that time that Lingfield College began working with Cloud Design Box to create a long-term strategy that would enable the school to migrate to the cloud, which would lay the foundations for their 1:1 device policy.  Moving to the cloud. “As they say, when you move house, you have a clear out before you move so you don't take all your junk with you. And, it was the same as we moved from our old servers to the cloud,” Stefan explains. Cloud Design Box worked with Lingfield College to give staff the time and training they needed to move their resources over to the cloud.  “We set up key milestones and eventually turned the old servers to ‘view-only' to give staff who hadn't been able to move resources over yet access without creating a confusing dual system.” 1:1 devices for teachers and school staff.  Moving to the cloud allowed Lingfield College to roll out 1:1 devices for every staff member, allowing teachers to build up their confidence with the new technology.  “This approach made the most sense to us because teachers can get used to the technology as they're using it for teaching so that when we are ready to roll out 1:1 devices for students, teachers can help resolve some tech issues if they do occur in the classroom.”  Infrastructure challenges that come with 1:1 devices.  As Stefan points out in the podcast, there's more to think about when rolling out 1:1 devices than simply giving everyone a laptop or tablet.  “Getting the infrastructure right is a challenge. For example, our flooring makes it difficult for us to put charging ports into our classrooms. So we're now looking at charSupport the show

The U.S. Department of Energy is closing in on a timeline for disbursing $80 billion allocated to electric grid upgrades contained in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law passed by Congress. In this episode of Grid Talk, host Marty Rosenberg talks with Michelle Manary who is the Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Energy Resilience Division in the Office of Electricity at the U.S. Department of Energy. The discussion focuses on when and how the money from the infrastructure package will be spent.“I would love to see it [flowing] this calendar year. That is a goal but we'll see what happens there,” said Manary. There's a lot of planning that goes in to allocating the funding.“That hat $80 billion-ish to the DOE comes in several different flavors and so everything's kind of continuing on from solar and battery and kind of that generation or storage-side but you also have probably about $20-ish billion or so on the transmission side.”Manary also talks about the collaborative nature of the new programs. “We're trying to set this up, so it works for the industry.”Michelle Manary helps lead DOE's division focused on national transmission infrastructure policy issues in support of national clean energy objectives.

He worked as a social worker until he learned about the PA profession and joined the University of Iowa's PA program graduating with his Master's of Physician Assistant Studies in 1996. He worked in Bone Marrow Transplant, and in 2004, joined the UIPA program and became the Program Director in 2012 and a professor at the University of Iowa's Carver College of Medicine in 2014.  Before we dive into Iowa's PA program, can you talk a little bit about your own journey, from studying piano performance to social work in Oregon to then becoming a PA in Iowa? [2:19] It does seem a bit convoluted, doesn't it? I think I had a journey that in some respects is very much like other people that have been thinking about joining the PA profession - they've started off in one career pathway or had bumps along the road, and thought, "Well, this isn't a field that I can get into anymore so I'm going to go off and try other things." I will say when I headed off to my undergraduate experience, I thought for sure I was going to go into medicine. As a 17-year-old, I was a young one going off into college, I wasn't quite ready to put my foot down to the pedal the way I needed to at that point in time. I'd always enjoyed playing the piano so I had enrolled with a biology and piano performance plan. When I decided I needed to think about other things, I decided to switch it to piano performance and psychology thinking along the lines of music therapy. I still really wanted to be in that healthcare background so that's where that was going at the time. Once I graduated and learned more about music therapy, I decided it probably wasn't a field that fit who I was so I looked around to see what I could do with that psych degree, and a Master's of Social Work was one of the things that I could do. There were social workers that worked in hospital settings, so that was what really intrigued me. After I graduated, I went on to a hospital there in Portland, Oregon. I started off working in the emergency room, working a 1:00 AM shift on the floor so I really got to see a lot of different experiences and different roles. After that, I worked at their rehabilitation center for several years before moving to Iowa in the neurology department. I did that because I was ready for a change of pace and thought, “Why not Iowa?” So I moved to Iowa, and through my wife, I learned about the PA profession. She's not a PA, but her friend's husband went through the program just before I did. She introduced me to that idea because I told her about that desire to be in healthcare so I looked more into it and thought, "Yeah,

Mitch Kekel is a former DIII Football Player for Linfield College. Mitch is a long-time friend, we grew up competing against each other in sports. He is one of the most positive, hard working people I've ever met.In this episode we talk about the following (Tune in for Part II coming soon!):Story behind the Portland French SchoolFluent in French by the 5th gradeHad already traveled to Europe 3 times by the time I was 14.My love for sports began when i attended my first Oregon State football Game when i was 5. By 8, I knew I wanted to be a college football player. Grew up playing sports my whole life. I played Football, Basketball and Baseball all the way up until High school where I focused on Football and Basketball.Played youth football against each other. I grew up where if I played sports, trained for these sports and did well in school I did not have to get a job. I was extremely fortunate that my parents could afford to pay for outside training velocity, the yard, new athlete, gym memberships, Barton Camps, combines etc. In high school this is what i focused on football, basketball, training, school. Junior Year of high school. I tore my ACL. Humbling experience/taught be about adversity, made me appreciate life,sports, and basic functions like going to the bathroom. Worked my ass off to get back onto the field. 9 months later i was playing in my first game. Linfield Bound!College College Football at LinfieldFreshman Year I thought I was the man. Physically I could play. But the mental part of the game is where i really struggled. I had no football IQ.When I found out i did not make the travel roster I was so devastated I threw up. I was dedicated to learning the defense. But it a very slow process and i never really made significant strides. Playoffs I did not make the travel roster. Sophomore year. Realized i wasn’t working hard enough. I was not invested enough to become successful. Mindset change. Work ethic change. Changed who i surrounded myself with. Poured everything i had into it. Results came. Relentless enthusiasm, passion and Energy. That is what separated me from the rest of people. Senior Year. studied abroad in the french caribbean. Graduated with a political science degree and french minor. Plan was law school. Not ready for that financial commitment or time commitment. France!I wasn’t ready for the fun to stop and wanted to take this opportunity to use my language skills and travel. Got a teaching job as an english teacher in the South of France in the city of Marseille. Parents bought me a one way ticket to france and the journey began. Taught 4 days/week. Every 6 weeks I traveled to 3 different cities or countries i’d never been to. Fell in love with teaching and working with kids. Parents came down for 3 weeks in the summer.Next Steps2020 altered all of our lives… We had to adjust and make some lifestyle changes / adapt to the “new norm”How have you adapted, what new habits have you created for yourself that have helped you moving forward?What are you looking to accomplish in 2021?

Today we sit down with Arizona Diamondbacks Mental Skills Coordinator, Zach Brandon. Zach won a baseball National Championship at Linfield College, received his master’s degree in Sports Psychology at Cal Fullerton under the legend Dr. Ken Ravizza, and honed his craft at IMG Academy before coming to Arizona. We talked about how to mesh your mind, body, and spirit to optimize your best.

A changing climate leads to changes in the frequency, intensity, spatial extent, duration and timing of extreme weather and climate events (EWE). These are the words of the IPCC. Per se, these EWE do not prove the existence of global warming, but it is a given fact that climate change exaggerates them. Reality, as we speak, is a reflection of this and of the current climate crisis: a few years ago, South Africa faced a period of severe water shortage in the Western Cape region. In 2017, the exact place where the Douro River is born, Picos de Urbíon, dried up. This year, in Germany, ice wine harvest failed for the first time due to a warm winter. A year ago, Australia was on fire, with an unrepairable and unprecedented loss for its ecosystems, let alone lives and businesses. As we speak, California, Oregon and Washington are being devastated by wildfires that preceded record heatwaves, followed by storms that ignited the fires. In Maryland, tornados were followed by hurricanes and then frost. Again, countless producers are still unsure about whether they will be able to save their harvest from smoke taint, and many have lost their vintage altogether. Why? What are the causes? What are the impacts? How can we prepare our vineyards, our operation, ourselves, reduce the impacts and minimize the losses? This Climate Talk will address these questions by gathering producers and scientists from different parts of the world that have experienced these EWE's. They will share their knowledge, experience, different realities, and above all the ideas and practices implemented to tackle this reality. In a conversation starting with a scientific data approach, we will try to understand how can science help producers to predict, adapt and decide which are the best options available to deal with ewe, and how can they do this in a very practical manner.

We pre-recorded today's conversation via Zoom with Dr. Miles Davis, President of Linfield College and former co-host of The Valley Today on the third Wednesday each month. We talked about his historical appointment at Linfield College as their first African-American President in their 160-year history and how his role as the Dean of Shenandoah University's School of Business and the leadership there prepared him for the new position. He also announced that effective July 1, 2020 Linfield College will become Linfield University offering a school of nursing (this year introducing a Master's of Science in Nursing) and a school of business. Founded in 1858, Linfield is a four-year independent college with campuses in McMinnville and Portland. Twenty-five percent of Linfield students are first-generation college students, and more than one-third are U.S. students of color. The U.S. State Department honored Linfield for being Oregon's top producer of Fulbright Scholars in 2017-18. We also discussed the challenging times we find ourselves in and talked about the importance of what comes next. Dr. Davis stressed the importance of education and perspective and how we move forward preparing people for careers and even deeper how we prepare people to think and engage our democracy.We talked about the difference between a monologue and a dialogue and the impact that social media has had on both concepts and the need to produce people who can operate in multiple dimensions of our shifting society. Dr. Davis also explained how his son's recent graduation from University of Richmond Law School shaped how the virtual graduation was performed at Linfield. He told us about the importance of getting student and parent feedback and walked us through how their graduation looked a few weeks ago. We talked about online education and the educational experience beyond what is being taught as a subject matter, that shapes our lives. Things like senior prom, a dance or what it means to walk across the stage to accept your diploma - things that are significant to have your parents present, especially since Linfield has a significant number of first generation students. Finally we teased a new project we're about to begin working on together called "Real Conversations" more on that in the coming weeks. Additionally, Dr. Davis will be moderating a community forum: Strengthening the Relationship between the Community and Law Enforcement on Saturday, June 27, 2020 at James R. Wilkins, Jr. Athletics & Events Center at Shenandoah University from 1pm - 3pm. More information about the in-person and virtually held event can be found here: https://www.unitedwaynsv.org/community-forum You can watch today's show that includes pre/post show conversation on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/PjnSB2jj58M

I first met Sandy Cameli during a facilitated protocol discussion on synchronous, vs. asynchronous professional development. Her passion for education filled the conference room with energy and spirit. Since then I have witnessed her, many times, facilitating sessions on teacher-leadership; I always come away inspired. In this episode Sandy and I dive deep into professional crushes (on noted education authors), tri-level professional growth, identity of leadership, those special kids we remember always, and how teacher-leadership shifts school culture towards student voice, teacher collaboration and intentional school design. Oh yes, we also talk about how happy days keep the grouchies away! Sandy Cameli got her Bachelor of Arts Degree (BA) in Elementary Education at Linfield College in Oregon. She has a Master's of Education Degree (MEd) in Special Education from the University of San Diego, and a Doctor of Education Degree (EdD) Instructional Leadership from Argosy University in Honolulu. She has been a classroom teacher, lecturer, resource teacher, teacher-leader and much more. She is the Co-Owner of “The Chalkboard,” a retail and tutoring center in Kailua Kona, Hawaiʻi, supporting teachers and students in K-8th classrooms in West Hawai'i schools. Today, she is the Facilitator of Na Kumu Alaka'i Academy, a program of the Hawaiʻi Department of Education Leadership Institute. She is also the current President of the Hawai'i Association of Middle Level Education (HAMLE), and has been published widely. I am forever grateful to Sandy for being such a steadfast supporter of the @MLTSinHawaii “movement.” To learn more about teacher-leadership in Hawaii's schools, go to https://vimeo.com/362658356.

Daniel Pollack-Pelzner, a professor of English at Linfield College and regular contributor to The New Yorker and Atlantic magazines, wrote an article for the New York Times in January 2019 about the problematic racist imagery in both the 1964 and 2018 Mary Poppins films from Disney. The article sparked a huge outcry and backlash, resulting in calls for Daniel's dismissal and threats to him and his family, and this week Daniel talks about how the article came to be and how he's been dealing with its unexpected response, how we confront (or don't) the legacy of white supremacy in so much of our popular culture, an impertinent reference to J. Robert Oppenheimer, the badge of honor of being on an alt-right watchlist, prescient wives and why they should be heeded, the question of why Disney keeps returning to problematic racist tropes, the threat (promise?) of being spat on by Julie Andrews, and what's next in the multi-part series “Daniel Ruins Everything”. (Length 25:15) The post Mary Poppins Kerfuffle appeared first on Reduced Shakespeare Company.

We were in the studio for the final (on-air) episode of Valley Business Today with Dr. Miles Davis, Dean of the Byrd School of Business at Shenandoah University. Dr. Davis will become the President of Linfield College in McMinnville, Oregon on July 1, 2018. He & Andrew (owner of The River 95.3FM & Sports Radio 1450) talked about aspirations and the important role they play in personal and professional growth. Andrew was Dr. Davis' first guest when he began co-hosting the show in 2006. Prior to recording the show, Andrew presented Dr. Davis with a special award for his 12 years of service to our community and in celebration of his partnership with the radio station(s). A video of that can be found on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TheRiver953/videos/10156530979257089/ While Dr. Davis may be gone from our air waves, we are not saying goodbye. Stay tuned for potential conversations in podcast form on our website.  

We aired a special "Flashback Friday" show for you today. We're paying tribute to long-time Valley Business Today co-host Dr. Miles Davis, Dean of the Byrd School of Business at Shenandoah University. He recently announced that he will be leaving our community to become the new president at Linfield College in Oregon. The show we aired today won Dr. Davis an award for "Best Documentary or Public Affairs Program" the Virginia Association of Broadcasting awards ceremony in June, 2017. This show was originally broadcast on September 21, 2016. We were on site at Shenandoah University talking with Regina from Thistle Farms, who's mission is to HEAL, EMPOWER, AND EMPLOY women survivors of trafficking, prostitution, and addiction by providing safe and supportive housing, the opportunity for economic independence, and a strong community of advocates and partners. Thank you Dr. Davis for your incredible support of us here at The River 95.3 and to the Winchester community as a whole. You will be deeply missed but our loss is certainly Linfield's gain.

Welcome to Episode 1 of The Podcast About Division III Baseball. It may be hard to believe that this is something we are actually doing, but here it is, in real life, free to be consumed by the public. We wanted to spent the first episode of setting some very clear expectations about what we want this show to be for us, the lunatics who are deciding to host it, and you, the listener, the fellow D-III baseball enthusiast.  Our first official segment (at 10:20) is a discussion about a particularly preposterous hypothetical: what would a D-III player have to do to get invited to the MLB Draft? Next (at 20:06), we read a couple e-mails, one about the remarkable story of the Lesley University baseball team, and another about an outrageous (and surely unhealthy) in-game ritual performed by the Linfield College pitching staff. We concluded the inaugural podcast (at 26:30) with the ultimate cop-out for the inevitable complaints from people that "we don't talk about their team." (Sorry it took so long. It was a long list. Usually the podcast will stay under 30 minutes).  Thanks for listening!
