For more than 40 years in the early 20th century, Martin Couney ran a sideshow in which premature babies were displayed in incubators. With this odd practice he offered a valuable service in an era when many hospitals couldn't. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe Couney's unusual enterprise, which earned both criticism and praise. We'll also marvel over an Amazonian survival and puzzle over a pleasing refusal. Intro: The inventor of the Dewey Decimal System suggested that GHEAUGHTEIGHPTOUGH might spell potato. John VI of Portugal listened to visitors through his throne.

Creative Director, Michael Pollak, joins me to talk about his industry experience and his upcoming movie preparations
Fatty Arbuckle was a star. He could act. He could sing. He could make an audience roar with laughter. By the 1910s, he was one of the highest paid actors, and among the most popular stars of silent films. It seemed like nothing could stop his shine. But then, following a weekend of partying at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco, his friend Virginia Rappe died. It wasn’t immediately clear why Virginia died, but her friend supplied the answer: Virginia had been raped and killed by one of America’s most beloved stars. Then Kristin tells us about the ultimate old-timey kidnapping. If your parents ever warned you about taking candy from strangers, this is why. On July 1, 1874, four-year-old Charley Ross and his six-year-old brother Walter were playing in their front yard when two men pulled up in a horse-drawn carriage. The men offered to buy the boys candy and fireworks. Naturally, the boys jumped at the chance. The men took the boys on a long, winding ride. They stopped at a store, and gave Walter 25 cents to buy fireworks. But after Walter made his purchase, he came back outside to find that the men were gone. They’d taken Charley with them. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Charley Ross: Efforts to induce Westervelt to confess — he says, ‘search the Catholic Institutions,’” The Tennessean “Among the missing: Charley Ross,” by Jay Robert Nash for The Tampa Tribune “A notorious 19th century kidnapping in Brooklyn,” by Michael Pollak for The New York Times “‘JonBenet’ case of its time — 1874,” by Jeff Gammage for The Philadelphia Inquirer “Little Charley Ross,” The St. Albans Advertiser “The story of Charley Ross,” ushistory.org “The disappearance of Charley Ross,” by Steven Casale for The Lineup In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “Fatty Arbuckle and the Death of Virginia Rappe” by Denise Noe, The Crime Library “The Skinny on the Fatty Arbuckle Trial” by Gilbert King, Smithsonian “Roscoe Arbuckle” wikipedia.org
Confession: I didn’t know a thing about skincare until give-or-take age 30. I’ve never been the kind of person who thought pricey facials or luxury serums and masks were worth the money. Michael Pollack and Adam Ross made Heyday for people like me. Billed as a destination for “skincare for every day, not just spa days,” their seven New York and west coast locations are a more affordable option for quick skincare treatments. Leading up to their first NYC location in 2015, Ross went through a #hurdlemoment, hanging up his business suits and leaving behind a super lucrative-yet-personally-unfulfilling job in investment banking. He met Michael, realized they had the chemistry to build something great together, and the rest is history. In episode 61, we have a blast chatting about everything from the two essentials all newbies must do for their face, to the most significant learning experience Pollack faced as a startup (FYI: his sewing skills helped). Plus: Ross offers up his must-have diagramming technique for being more productive throughout your day.

"You are what you eat" is a well-known adage that is even truer when it comes to cancer. But what are the links between what we eat and disease prevention? Can our diet have an impact while receiving cancer treatments? To tell us more about these issues, Barry Morgan spoke to Dr. Michael Pollak, Director of the Cancer Prevention Centre the Jewish General Hospital Segal Cancer Center.
« Vous êtes ce que vous mangez » est un adage bien connu qui s'avère encore plus vrai lorsque vient le temps de parler de cancer. Mais quels sont les liens entre ce que nous mangeons et la prévention de la maladie ? Est-ce que notre alimentation peut avoir un impact pendant que l'on reçoit des traitements contre le cancer ? Pour nous en dire davantage sur ces questions, Carl Thériault s'entretient avec Dr Michael Pollak, Directeur du Centre de prévention du cancer au Centre de cancer Segal, à l'Hôpital général juif.

Prof Pollack speaks with ecancertv at the 2016 BACR and ECMC Joint Meeting about the repurposing of metformin to treat cancer. Metformin is a widely used treatment for type II diabetes, but has also been reported to slow tumour cell proliferation through the inhibition of the mTOR pathway. Prof Pollack describes the clinical and regulatory background of repurposing metformin and other drugs for new avenues of research.
