Sibrel has owned five video production companies, been employed by two of the three major networks, worked as a television news reporter, and produced videos shown on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, TLC, USA, and BET. Sibrel has also appeared as a seasoned actor on the stage and screen over five hundred times. Articles featuring Sibrel's films have been published in Time Magazine, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and USA Today. His awards from the American Motion Picture Society include Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Top Ten Director.“I was making movies when this competition started way back in 1930. I do not ever recall anyone entering three motion pictures and winning a Top Award on All Three! But you have!”( Also Youngest Winner - Age 26 )Jack Ruddell AMPS Director - October 6, 1991Sibrel grew up as the biggest fan of the purported "moon landings", yet gradually began to recognize their unfortunate falsification, largely because of his professional familiarity with their studio lighting. In Sibrel's mind, as well as many others, the claim that NASA walked on the moon on the very first attempt with 1960's technology, which only had one-millionth the computing power of a cell phone, when today with five decades of better technology NASA can only send astronauts one-thousandth the distance to the moon, simply defies logic. Sibrel believes that a religious attachment to the emotional event is what prevents people from waking up to the deplorable reality.Bart Sibrel has appeared as guest commentator about the moon landing fraud on The Joe Rogan Experience, The Daily Show, Geraldo, the Abrams Report, NBC, CNN, FOX, HBO, Tech TV, Coast to Coast, and InfoWars. In his memoir Moon Man Bart Sibrel reveals, for the very first time, the official CIA code name for the real Apollo project, the military base where the first staged "moon landing" was filmed, and the names of fifteen United States government scientists and officials who were in attendance for the first moon landing falsification, some of whom are still alive today. This information was given to Sibrel by the Chief of Security of this secretive military base, who confessed his regrettable participation in this despicable government fraud on his deathbed.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gary-s-night-dreams-talk-radio--2788432/support.

In the May issue of D Magazine, Matt Goodman wrote a story titled "The Lawyer Who Landlords Don't Want to See in Court." That would be Mark. Sort of by accident, he started the Dallas Eviction Advocacy Center, which now employs 18 people. On a per capita basis, A LOT of people get evicted in Dallas. That's because the justice of the peace courts where eviction hearings happen are a little wildass. So we talked about all that and about why you should care about people getting evicted. And we explored Mark's personal story, how he lost a job in Oklahoma and, without a college education or any real prospects, loaded up his family in a car and drove to Dallas. Why Dallas? It had a lot of highways so he figured it must have jobs. (He wound up as a bouncer at Cowboys in Arlington before eventually making partner at Holland & Knight.)

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: Link: EU considers dropping stricter animal welfare measures (Financial Times), published by Matt Goodman on September 12, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. The Financial Times writes that the EU is considering dropping animal welfare regulations from the upcoming Green Deal. The main reasons presented are concerns over the the effects the regulations will have on food prices, which have increased since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It also mentions political pressure from center-right parties. The FT claims EU's own draft impact assessment on the legislation would add up to 60 cents to the price of a dozen eggs, and expanding the space where broiler chickens are housed would add 12 cents. It's a disappointing read. Pushing for higher animal welfare regulations is something the EA movement has success in, and the EU has historically led the world when it comes to animal welfare regulations. Thanks for listening.

Matt Goodman, CSIS SVP and Simon Chair in Political Economy, unpacks the several striking developments at the recent G7 Summit in Hiroshima. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has unified and energized the G7, with side benefits in economic security, nuclear disarmament, food security, health and climate. With the Ukrainian counteroffensive imminent, the G7 made multiple specific commitments on Ukraine. On China, “economic coercion” and “de-risking” were the watchwords. Paragraph 51 of the communique laid out nine specific items on China, an unprecedented step. On health, President Biden committed an additional $250m to the Pandemic Fund, nudging his G-7 peers. The G-7 reaffirmed in detail its consensus on UHC, global health architecture, R&D of new technologies. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) enjoyed higher salience, as did health reconstruction in Ukraine and violence in multiple wars targeting the health sector. The Covid origin stalemate was deliberately downplayed, while the Global Health Emergency Corps merited a mention.

Welcome back to America's leading higher education law podcast, EdUp Legal - part of the EdUp Experience Podcast Network! In today's episode, we welcome Aliza Shatzman, the president and co-founder of the Legal Accountability Project, a non-profit aimed at ensuring law clerks have positive clerkship experiences and helping support and extend resources to those who don't. Aliza shares with us her experiences with gender discrimination, harassment, and retaliation while clerking in D.C., the revocation of her dream job, and the exemption that judges and clerks have from Title VII that led her to co-found the Legal Accountability project on June 1, 2022, with Matt Goodman. She shares with us the reception she is getting for her non-profit from the various stakeholders, such as judges, former clerks, current clerks, student leaders, and law schools. She tells us the two initiatives the Legal Accountability Project is working on in collaboration with law schools beginning in the fall. The first is a centralized reporting database that provides anonymous information on clerkships, and the second is a workplace assessment of the federal and state judiciaries. Finally, she shares her thoughts on the evolution of legal education and her predictions for the coming decade. She hopes that this year, 10 law schools will partner with the Legal Accountability Project on the database and that more will partner with them on the workplace assessment, 5-10 years down the road. On a broader scale, she hopes legal education is more responsive to student needs.

This week, we talk about the experiences that law students and recent law grads have during their internships, summer associate positions, and their judicial clerkships. While most of us work very hard to make sure that these (traditionally young) associates and clerks enjoy and learn from their experiences, today's guests understands firsthand that not all of these experiences are positive. Aliza Shatzman, the co-founder of the Legal Accountability Project, talks with us about her judicial clerkship, which essentially derailed her legal career before it even gets started. While Shatzman's dream of becoming a Homicide Prosecutor was taken from her, she took this negative experience and used it as motivation to start the Legal Accountability Project with her WashU classmate, Matt Goodman. The Project's purpose is to “ensure that as many law clerks as possible have positive clerkship experiences, while extending support and resources to those who do not.” The Legal Accountability Project is partnering with multiple law schools to create a post-clerkship survey that allows them to share their experiences (both positive and negative) through a database which will be shared with future clerks so they are better informed on what to expect from the clerkships. The idea is to use the data collected to quantify any issues and to craft effective solutions. AALL Crystal Ball Question: Emily Janoski-Haehlen Our Crystal Ball answer this week comes from the Dean of Akron Law School, Emily Janoski-Haehlen. Dean Janoski-Haehlen stresses the need for more legal skills training to better prepare students for legal practice. As a tie-in for the main interview, she also covers what questions her school asks returning summer associates and clerks and how they use those to help identify what is working and what needs improving.

This week on Upzoned with Abby Kinney, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) makes her co-host, Strong Towns President Charles Marohn, almost want to start swearing. For many years now, TxDOT has studied the feasibility of removing Interstate 345, which is a 1.7-mile segment of elevated highway that dissects downtown Dallas in Deep Ellum. Proposals to make the downtown stronger and more productive by creating a boulevard have been in the works for almost a decade, supported by prominent urban planners such as Patrick Kennedy. Then last month, the agency released their official conclusion that removing the highway is unfeasible. Instead, TxDOT now recommends tearing down the elevated freeway and rebuilding it in a 65-foot-deep trench that will contain 10 travel lanes and cost more than a billion dollars. An article by Matt Goodman in D Magazine outlines the agency's proposal to bridge local streets over that trench to reconnect the neighborhoods, instead of creating a boulevard to distribute traffic and create neighborhood streets that build wealth in a people-centered design. If this hybrid approach moves forward, it seems to send a pretty clear message that highway capacity and maintaining commute times are the central priority of the Dallas Metro, not reconnecting neighborhoods or improving the downtown neighborhood quality of life. Urban planners Kennedy and Brandon Hancock first pitched the idea of tearing I-345 out, which would free up land the city could re-zone to create a mix of housing, office, and retail. The D Magazine article says TxDOT estimated in 2016 that removal would generate about $2.5 billion in new net value, a “significant increase in employment totals,” and an additional $67.4 million in property tax revenue over 30 years. “This is the quintessential situation where a Strong Towns approach … says this is a corridor for building wealth and capacity in the community (with an) investment that would be lower cost, the payoff would be way higher,” Marohn says. “And that whole mindset is trumped by this delusion that we are going to try to move vehicles quickly. And that somehow the city of Dallas itself is going to benefit more from a marginal, theoretical increase in traffic counts, than it will from billions of dollars of private sector investments.” So what happened? That's where we almost lose our tempers here at Strong Towns. Find out more on this episode of Upzoned.

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: Try to sell me on [ EA idea ] if I'm [ person with a viewpoint ], published by Matt Goodman on May 17, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I recently came across this post on the r/neoliberal subreddit: Try to sell me on immigration(meaning give me a pro immigration pitch) if I'm a blue collar working class guy who's afraid of someone taking my job for lower pay or my wages going down I like the format of this request and I'd like to suggest some EA ones in the same format: Try to sell me on working with large food companies to improve animal welfare, if I'm a vegan abolitionist. Try to sell me on donating millions of dollars made from crypto trading to the most effective causes, if I'm an environmentalist concerned with the CO2 generated by bitcoin mining. Try to sell me on donating to the global poor if I live in the developed world and have a very strong sense of responsibility to my family and local community. Try to sell me on the dangers of AGI if I'm interested in evidence-based ways to reduce global poverty, and think EA should be pumping all its money into bednets and cash transfers. Try to sell me on the need for strong international governing bodies to reduce existential risk if I'm a libertarian skeptical of large government. I like the format of these questions (ok they're not strictly questions, but they have an asker and answerer format) for a few reasons: They encourage the answerer to imagine a variety of viewpoints they don't hold, which may change their views on certain issues. They encourage the answerer to consider how EA may appear to those outside the movement. They encourage the answerer to consider how people in EA or the causes EA is interested in may have very different opinions to one another. This is probably good for fostering positive disagreement within EA. They allow the asker to pose the question without seeming as if they hold the viewpoint described. The asker may have heard the concern raised by people with the viewpoints described, but don't want to seem as if they hold that viewpoint themselves. They allow the answerer to address criticism of EA from a very safe, low pressure environment. The hypothetical nature of the questions makes them feel less like severe criticism. This is good practice, for when you do come into a debate with people who hold these views. The fact that you've considered the question beforehand, imagined some answers and actively extended your imagination to consider how the person your debating may think, should make the debate more constructive. I think these kinds of questions could be run on the forum each month. Each month, the top voted question gets a cash prize, and each month, the top voted answer(s) get a cash prize. To think of this another way, we could ask the question "which ideas should we pitch to which kinds of people... and what are the best ways of doing that?" If you like this idea, feel free to comment on this post with "Try to sell me... if I'm" pitches, or write answers someone else's, or the ones I asked in this post. Thanks for listening.

Visit Okendo here Read more Shopify content here We have spoken to Okendo before and have another interview with Scott Goodman, their Partnerships Manager. Find Episode 26 to learn more about Okendo. The Okendo team is small and smart, and their app does clever things, most of which have been the brain child of Matt Garven, This Shopify Partner interview is very interesting for any merchant who is looking at launching or improving the way they manage and benefit from customer reviews. Matt starts the story in the beginning, when he and co-founder Matt Goodman (yes, Scott's brother) met and the idea for Okendo was born. Matt understands every detail of their technology, how it works, what makes it powerful, and also their plans for future features. In simple terms, the key benefits that make Okendo the new benchmark in customer reviews for ecommerce is the flexibility it offers brands regarding integration, and the ability to customise and display content-rich reviews. That means customers can use text, photos, videos, rankings and many more options when they drop their review with Okendo. Each Shopify business can extensively, and simply, customise the Okendo review for their business to include sliders for rating factors like fit for clothes or flavour for foods, for example. Not only does Okendo make customer reviews richer, easier and more fun for customers to submit, the way the reviews display makes them more interesting and engaging for potential customers to read. The customers win on both sides of the review equation. It was great to catch up with Okendo again, this time in their Sydney offices, and we hope you enjoy the interview. Our big THANKS to Matt Garven, and the Okendo team for their time, insights and passion for ecommerce. If you want to be a guest on The Cut's podcast, just ask, we love to talk to new merchants, agencies and app developers.
