Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark Baldwin

The fire of Notre Dame in Paris seemed to embody the decline of Catholicism in France. However, just as the cathedral has risen from the ashes, so too has the Catholic church with record numbers of adults baptised in the past 2 years. As Pope Leo XIV heralds a new era for Catholicism, Justin speaks to converts, evangelists and clergy about a surprising revival taking place among young people. Bishop Robert Barron, Tony Wilson, Rusty Reno, Frank Skinner, Rob Schneider, Paul Kingsnorth & Tom Holland contribute. Justin also hears the story of Mark Baldwin's journey from atheism to Catholicism.

fWotD Episode 2449: Mark Baldwin (baseball) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Thursday, 18 January 2024 is Mark Baldwin (baseball).Marcus Elmore Baldwin (October 29, 1863 – November 10, 1929), nicknamed "Fido" and "Baldy", was an American right-handed professional baseball pitcher who played seven seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB). In 346 career games, he pitched to a 154–165 win–loss record with 295 complete games. Baldwin set the single-season MLB wild pitches record with 83 that still stands today.Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Baldwin made his professional debut for a Cumberland, Maryland team in 1883. Though signed by Chicago White Stockings president Albert Spalding to pitch against the St. Louis Browns in the 1886 World Series, Baldwin did not play after Browns objected. He made his MLB debut for the White Stockings in 1887, when a writer for the Oshkosh Daily Northwestern called him the "swiftest pitcher in the National League" (NL). Released by Chicago player–manager Cap Anson, he signed with the Columbus Solons of the American Association (AA) in 1889, where he led the league in innings pitched (513+2⁄3), losses (34), strikeouts (368), and walks (274).In 1889, Baldwin, described as "intelligent and outspoken," recruited players for the Chicago Pirates of the Players' League (PL). Baldwin played for Chicago and finished the year as the PL leader in games played as a pitcher (58), innings pitched (492), wins (33), strikeouts (206), complete games (53), and walks (249), as the Pirates finished fourth in the league, ten games behind the first-place Boston Reds. A PL historian has described him as a star of the league. Back in the NL, he signed with the Pittsburgh Pirates, where he played from 1891 to 1893. Baldwin was arrested after the Homestead strike in 1892 and charged with aggravated riot, but never received a trial. He finished his MLB career with the New York Giants in 1893, and played several seasons for independent teams afterwards.During his career, he batted and threw right-handed, weighed 190 pounds (86 kg), and stood 6 feet (180 cm) tall. After baseball, Baldwin became a physician and practiced at Passavant Hospital in Pittsburgh. He died of cardiorenal disease on November 10, 1929, and is interred at Allegheny Cemetery.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:01 UTC on Thursday, 18 January 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Mark Baldwin (baseball) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Arthur Neural.

This podcast is about big ideas on how technology is making life better for people with vision loss. The Enigma machines that Germany used to encode messages during World War II were notorious for their complexity. Two Enigma experts — Dr. Tom Perera, a retired neuroscientist, and founder of EnigmaMuseum.com, and Dr. Mark Baldwin, an expert on the story of Enigma machines — tell us how the Allies were able to crack the code, by using input-output mapping. The human brain is similarly complex. Until recently, no one knew the code the retina used to communicate with the brain to create sight. Our guest, Dr. Sheila Nirenberg, a neuroscientist at Weill Cornell, and Principal and Founder of Bionic Sight has — using input-output mapping — cracked the retina's neural code, enabling her to recreate the electric signals to the brain that could restore sight in people with retinal degeneration. She has created a set of goggles that convert a camera's images into the code, via pulses of light. And she relies on optogenetics, a relatively new procedure in neuroscience that helps neurons become responsive to light. In her clinical trial, Dr. Nirenberg injects the optogenetic vector into the eye, and trial participants who are completely blind, like Barry Honig, who we speak with on this program, report being able to see light. In early studies, coupling the effects of the optogenetics with the code-enabled goggles has an even more impressive effect on patients' vision. Dr. Nirenberg is also using her knowledge of the visual neural code to inform machine learning applications that could also be further used to support people who are blind or visually impaired. Clinical trial participants are important partners in the journey of discovery, Dr. Nirenberg says. Barry Honig agrees. He was happy to participate to help ease the burden on future children diagnosed with eye diseases that would otherwise result in blindness, but thanks to these advancements, someday may not.   The Big Takeaways: Dr. Tom Perera and Dr. Mark Baldwin describe the history and workings of the Enigma machine, the complex encoding device that allowed Germany to take the upper hand at the beginning of World War II, a war in which communication was sent wirelessly, elevating the need for encryption. They then describe the Polish and British efforts to break Enigma, including standard decryption and Alan Turing's Bombe machine. Similar to the Enigma, the human brain is incredibly complex, and much of the codes that make it run have not yet been deciphered, until now. Our guest, Dr. Sheila Nirenberg, conducted extensive input-output mapping on live human retinas. She was able to keep them alive in a dish outside the body for a few hours, during which time she'd show them videos. As the retina perceived the films, Dr. Nirenberg mapped the electrical current that would pulse through the ganglion nerve. In this way, she was able to learn how the human eye sees and to decipher the code that allows our brains to perceive images. This code has been honed via evolution over millennia. Having cracked the retinal neural code, Dr. Nirengberg held the key to restoring vision in people who are blind from retinal degeneration. She developed goggles embedded with a camera to convert the visual world into the retina's neural code using pulses of light, but she still had to get these pulses of light into an unseeing eye. Optogenetics is the key to creating light perception. Optogenetics is a relatively new procedure in neuroscience, by which researchers have created a genetically modified virus based on light-responsive algae, which when injected into live human cells, recombines its DNA with the DNA of host cells. In Dr. Nirenberg's case, she injects the optogenetic vector into the patient's retina. Most patients report the restoration of light perception to varying degrees, with just the optogenetics alone. Coupled with the goggles, and with Dr. Nirenberg's visual neural code, this system could restore some vision in people who are blind. The trial is still in its early stages. Dr. Nirenberg also uses the retinal neural code to improve how computers see. Computer vision experts are teaching computers to “see” more like humans. Still, if they can equip algorithms with humanity's neural code, the goal of human-like vision becomes more easily achievable. Barry Honig is a participant in the clinical trial. After his optogenetic injection, he was able to perceive the menorah at Hanukkah. From different perspectives, Barry and Dr. Nirenberg agree on the importance of trial participants.   Tweetables: “The analogy between the Enigma and the human brain is rather interesting. The brain has … 10 billion brain cells, … the Enigma machine has 10 to the 114th power possible internal connections. And that is actually a lot more.” — Tom Perera, neuroscientist and founder of EnigmaMuseum.com “Millions of years of evolution honed the retina into pulling out … the right features. And then it converts those features into electrical pulses and sends them up to the brain. That's what a normal retina does.” — Dr. Sheila Nirenberg, neuroscientist at Weill Cornell, and Principal and Founder of Bionic Sight. “And so … you're watching the retina watch a movie. And … you're seeing what it would be sending … to your brain.” — Dr. Sheila Nirenberg, neuroscientist at Weill Cornell, and Principal and Founder of Bionic Sight.“So I went from … sort of bare light perception to … this recent past Hanukkah, I … said to my … wife, the menorah — I think it was the eighth day and … the whole menorah was lit!” — Barry Honig, clinical trial participant and founder of Honig International “Whether or not that's perfect, you know, time will tell, but … to be able to spare kids that, and equally as importantly, to spare their parents that, you know, if I could … just take an injection and be a part of it, then, … that's a lot of reward. — Barry Honig, clinical trial participant and founder of Honig International   Contact Us: Contact us at podcasts@lighthouseguild.org with your innovative new technology ideas for people with vision loss.   Pertinent Links: Lighthouse Guild Dr. Sheila Nirenberg Dr. Tom Perera Dr. Mark Baldwin Barry Honig

Tonight Brian gets Dave's reaction to Bengals fever in Cincinnati before we dive into Bryson's recent injury and wonder if this is a harbinger of things to come for him. Has his quest to be a demigod caused detriment to his golf game?Then we turn our attention to Phil Mickelson's comments this week about the 'greedy' PGA Tour and whether his claim that players should have access to their own media rights is ridiculous or something that should be entertained. Regardless it's obvious Phil is using the potential SGL as 'leverage' to try and extract more money from the tour.Finally, we wrap up with what our kids made us do over the recent snow days that hit the Midwest.
