AIK började premiärhelgen med att sparka sportchefen och avslutade den med att skarva in ett något oförtjänt segermål mot Gais. Många frågetecken återstår dock. Malmö var ungefär lika förtjänta av sin 1-0 seger som AIK men Rydström hade annat på tankarna än prestationen efter matchen. Bajen imponerade mot Blåvitt och Omar Faraj skrev historia med sina fem baljor mot Halmstad. Med: Patrik Syk, Daniel Kristoffersson och Michael Wagner

The State Funeral has come to be known as the traditional and ceremonial way to mourn a President of the United States. While throughout the nation's history not every Commander in Chief has opted for such a tribute, in the modern era, it has become common practice. In fact, discussions about a president's preferences as to how they will be honored after their death take place almost as soon as they take office.  Stewart McLaurin, President of the White House Historical Association, sat down with two individuals who had a hand in the planning and performance of these national events: Michael Wagner, the former Chief of National Event Planning for Joint Task Force - National Capital Region, and Retired Major General Galen B. Jackman, former Commander of the Joint Force Headquarters - National Capital Region and U.S. Army Military District of Washington.  Maj. Gen. Jackman became a familiar face as he personally escorted former First Lady Nancy Reagan through the events of President Ronald Reagan's State Funeral. President Reagan's funeral set the standard for what we expect to see today, with ceremonies held at a former president's place of residence, events in Washington, D.C., and then the final burial…all taking place in a span of 7 to 10 days. We were privileged to see that take place again in January 2025 for former President Jimmy Carter, the longest-living president in history.  Those who serve in the JTF-NCR and Military District of Washington help keep the nation's capital safe, honor each presidency from Inauguration to their final passing, as well as perform other ceremonial duties across the country and around the world. This is a rare opportunity to hear the personal stories of two people who served their nation with the utmost professionalism and patriotism.

Älter werden geht gewissermaßen von selbst. Aber gutes, gar erfolgreiches Älterwerden? Die Vorstellungen, wie das aussehen könnte, haben sich im Laufe der Zeit verändert. Clemens Tesch-Römer, langjähriger Leiter des Deutschen Zentrums für Altersfragen DZA, benennt sieben Modelle, die bis heute wirken. Anlass war die Verabschiedung des Kölner Lebenslauf-Soziologen Prof. Michael Wagner in den Ruhestand.

Join us live and table all your questions, challenge Dr. Wagner on his position that Canada cannot be fixed and Alberta must chart her own course forward.With the conversation around Alberta Independence and even now the annexing of Canada as a whole to the USA it is more important than ever to understand where these conversations come from, why they came up and what to do next.www.drmichaelwagner.comJanuary 20, 2025

Buy Fergus Hodgson's "Financial Sovereignty for Canadians" on Amazon!: https://econamericas.com/financial-sovereignty-canadians/ Michael Wagner, author of "Time to Live: Canada Cannot Be Fixed," advocates independence for Alberta. Alberta contributes the lion's share of Canada's oil and natural-gas production, serving as a cornerstone of the national economy. A massive portion of the Alberta economy, however, is confiscated by the federal government in Ottawa to fund redistribution programs. The chief reason behind the case for a sovereign Alberta is the structural impossibility of reform within Canada. This means that, no matter how distinct Alberta might be from the rest of Canada, there is no hope of an end to the pillaging and alien governance from Ottawa.

The inspiration for this episode came from an unexpected source - none other than Sebastian Bach of Skid Row fame. During a brief interview with , Sebastian shared a gem with us, recommending that we explore Malice's debut album. Sebastian is a genuine fan of rock and metal, so we were all excited for a deep dive exploration of a band that played a pivotal role in shaping the sound of Skid Row and the 80s metal scene.The year was 1985. Metal was at a crossroads, evolving from its British heavy metal roots while flirting with the glitz and glam of the Sunset Strip. Bands like Judas Priest and Van Halen were experimenting with synthesizers, and the lines between hard rock and glam metal were becoming increasingly blurred. Enter Malice, a band that straddled these worlds, bringing a raw, aggressive energy that set them apart.Help make the next episode happen. Join the DMO Union!Malice formed in Portland, Oregon, a city not typically known for its metal scene. They quickly made a name for themselves with their powerful sound and dynamic performances. By 1982, they were sharing stages with the likes of Metallica and Armored Saint, and their tracks were featured on the influential Metal Massacre compilation alongside future giants of the genre.Malice's debut album, "In the Beginning," released in August 1985, is a testament to their unique position in the metal world. The album was co-produced by the legendary Michael Wagner, known for his work with Skid Row and Ozzy Osbourne, and Ashley Howe. This collaboration brought a polished yet powerful sound to the record, one that resonated with the intensity of live performances.The lineup for the album included James Neal on vocals, Mick Zane and Jay Reynolds on lead guitars, Mark Behn on bass, and Clifford Carruthers on drums. The band's chemistry is evident throughout the album, with each member bringing a distinct energy that collectively created a sound both raw and refined."In the Beginning" is an album of contrasts, showcasing the band's versatility and struggle for a cohesive identity. Tracks like "Air Attack" and "Gods of Thunder" highlight their power metal prowess, with soaring vocals and relentless double-kick drumming. James Neal's vocal performance draws inevitable comparisons to Rob Halford of Judas Priest, especially on tracks like "Stellar Masters" and "Hellrider."Yet, the album also dips into more mainstream, glam-rock territory with songs like "Rockin' With You" and "Squeeze It Dry." These tracks, while energetic, lack the same punch as their power metal counterparts, revealing the band's attempt to balance commercial appeal with their heavier roots.Despite its uneven reception, "In the Beginning" holds a special place in the annals of 80s metal. It served as an inspiration for many, including Sebastian Bach, who cited it as an influential record for Skid Row's early sound. The album's production quality, particularly the clarity and punch of Wagner's work, set a standard for future metal recordings.Malice may not have achieved the commercial success of their peers, but their impact is undeniable. They were a band ahead of their time, caught between the shifting tides of metal's evolution. Their music continues to resonate with those who seek the raw, unfiltered energy that defined 80s metal.Songs in this episode* Open - Stellar Masters* 19:48 - Air Attack* 21:19 - Hell Rider* 25:43 - Rockin With You* 27:55 - No Haven for the Raven* 30:34 - Squeeze It Dry (Keep on Rockin)* 32:35 - Into the Ground* 34:17 - Stellar Masters* Close - Godz of ThunderMake Your Metal Voice Heard!In our quest to explore the depths of 80s metal, we rely on you, our listeners.

On the latest episode of the Ride AI podcast, we dive into insurance, risk management, and driving automation with Michael Wagner, CEO of Edge Case Research. With autonomous vehicles poised to revolutionize transportation, understanding the risks and liabilities associated with this technology is paramount. Unlike traditional auto insurance, where policies are based on factors like driver history and vehicle usage, insuring self-driving vehicles requires a deeper understanding of the technology itself. Edge Case Research aims to fill this gap by providing risk assessment technology tailored specifically for autonomous cars and trucks. Michael sheds light on how this nascent industry is developing new insurance solutions that address the unique challenges of AVs, while incentivizing safe practices and fostering trust.

This week on The Index, host Alex Kehaya is joined by Michael Wagner, Co-founder of Star Atlas, an exciting space exploration-themed RPG built on the Solana network. Set in the year 2620, the game features political factions, territorial pursuits, advanced weaponry, and spacecraft, enhancing various gameplay aspects.  Learn all about developer opportunities on the Star Atlas platform, the commercialization of 3D models, and the future of open-source blockchain games.

Ludwik Zamenhof was born in 1859 in a small city in Poland. His family was Jewish, and the area he grew up in also had factions of Germans, Russians, and Poles, all of whom mutually distrusted one another. During his childhood, Zamenhof developed a theory: these groups would never get along without a common, neutral language to communicate with people in the other groups. Zamenhof considered the possibility of using existing languages for this purpose—such as Latin and Greek—but decided that the cost to learn them was too high. So he invented his own.Esperanto, as Zamenhof's language came to be known, sought to take familiar Indo-European root words and cast them in a language without verb conjugations, cases, gender, or any of the elements which make a language like German or Russian so difficult to learn. He was nineteen when he first unveiled the language to the public. Zamenhof's goal was not just to create a language that was easy to learn, but to create a language that would put the different peoples of Europe on a footing of mutual disadvantage—and therefore, he hoped, equality.As far as invented languages go, Esperanto has enjoyed more success than most. You can study it on Duolingo. It's a staple of popular culture; for example, I recently saw in an episode of the TV show Billions, where it is being learned by the character Michael Wagner. But mostly, this success has been on the linguistic front. People find the language interesting. But it hasn't been especially useful as a basis for utopia.In a way, Zamenhof's Esperanto is a microcosm of the system of values more generally known as “humanism.” There are many shades of humanism, but at their core lies a belief that understanding, connection, and even mutual admiration among different kinds of people is not only possible but paramount to a meaningful life. If we could all converse with one another, understand one another—then maybe we'd stand a chance of constructing the kind of society we all want to live in.But while Esperanto embodies the aspirations of humanism, it also is emblematic of its tensions. In theory, getting people to celebrate the many ways of being human is an ideal worth striving for. In practice, it is a difficult one to achieve. When it comes to the ways of being humans, what all humans have in common is that they prefer their own.The fundamental impulse of humanism is to grapple with this tension, and it is the subject of the latest book by author Sarah Bakewell. In it, she surveys 700 years of humanist thought—with each thinker bringing a personal perspective to the shared problem of what it means to value human life and society in an abstract sense. The experience of reading Bakewell's book is to hear the echoing conversation of the ages. One of the ways of reading humanism is to see it as a means of participating in this conversation. It's a notion I think is rather beautiful.Her book is Humanly Possible: Seven Hundred Years of Humanist Freethinking, Enquiry and Hope. It's available now. This is a public episode.

A unique collaboration between social scientists and Meta to conduct research on Facebook and Instagram during the height of the 2020 US election has at long last produced its first work products. The release of four peer-reviewed studies last week in Science and Nature mark the first of as many as sixteen studies that promise fresh insights into the complex dynamics of social media and public discourse. But beyond the findings of the research, the partnership between Meta and some of the most prominent researchers in the field has been held up as a model. With active discussions ongoing in multiple jurisdictions about how best to facilitate access to platform data for independent researchers, it's worth scrutinizing the strengths and weaknesses of this partnership. And to do that, Justin Hendrix is joined by one researcher who was able to observe and evaluate nearly every detail of the process for the last three years: the project's rapporteur, Michael Wagner, who in his day job is a professor in the University of Wisconsin-Madison's School of Journalism and Mass Communication.

On this week's show: evaluating scientific collaborations between independent scholars and industry, farming in ancient Europe, and a book from our series on sex, gender, and science.   First up on this week's show, a look behind the scenes at a collaboration between a social media company and 17 academics. Host Sarah Crespi speaks with Michael Wagner, a professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's School of Journalism and Mass Communication who acted as an impartial observer for Meta's U.S. 2020 election project. Wagner wrote a commentary piece about what worked and what didn't in this massive project, which will spawn more than 15 papers, three of them out this week in Science.   Then, producer Meagan Cantwell speaks with Silvia Valenzuela Lamas about her talk about how sociopolitical changes shaped livestock in ancient Europe. Her talk was part of a session on migrations and exchanges in ancient civilizations from this year's AAAS Annual Meeting.   Also this week, the latest in our book series on sex, gender, and science. Host Angela Saini talks with author Amanda Lock Swarr about her book: Envisioning African Intersex: Challenging Colonial and Racist Legacies in South African Medicine.   This week's episode was produced with help from Podigy.   About the Science PodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thanks for listening frens :)Notes from the showWhile blockchain is still a new industry, the sub section of “blockchain gaming” is even newer and largely considered a very strong use case of blockchain technology. Michael Wagner, co-founder and CEO of Star Atlas joins to explain how Star Atlas is using the Solana blockchain within the game's infrastructure and economy.Michael give his backstory of being a life long gamer and working in the financial sector before diving full time into crypto by founding a crypto/cannabis company called Tokes. (which is also a interesting use case for crypto payments due to common restrictions within several countries like the US)We talk about how the Star Atlas intellectual property (IP), like the in game asset, can be used by other creatives and entrepreneurs to create sizable businesses off of. Including physical merchandise, digital goods, and in game merchants. There is an application process for this, but still a very uncommon things for a large scale production like Star Atlas. (Which we think very amazing to see!)Michael describes the 3 different game “applications”, almost like individual game clients, the company is building. Each will allow players to interact with specific parts of the same on chain game data, so they are all still tied to the game.Included with all the on-chain game data is the movement system, which recently had a public stress test in the form of a mini game. Around 10k unique wallets interacted with the Escape Velocity mini game during Star Atlas' movement stress test (which resulted in around 80 million transactions over 72 days)Finally, we dive deep into the very complex digital economy being built within the game. Including several factors the company is taking into account for growing a truly sustainable economy and carefully fostering it to reach stability. This is especially interesting considering players will have the potential to have sizable monetary value participating within this economy.Links from the showStarAtlas public roadmapFind Michael and StarAtlas onlineMichael Wagner on Twitter - https://twitter.com/at_mwagnerStar Atlas on Twitter - https://twitter.com/staratlasStar Atlas' website - https://staratlas.comFollow us aroundNicktwitter: @nickfrostygithub: github.com/nickfrostywebsite: https://nick.afJamestwitter: @jamesrp13github: github.com/jamesrp13Solfate Podcasttwitter: @SolfatePodmore podcast episodes: solfate.com/podcast

Fleisch gehört zur deutschen Identität. Egal ob Wurst oder Schnitzel, gegessen werden gerne üppige Portionen vor allem billigen Schweinefleischs. Eine hocheffiziente Fleischproduktion und Billiglöhne sorgen für günstigen Nachschub. Doch Ansprüche an Moral und Qualität stellen Omas Rezepte in Frage. «Super, wirklich super» schwärmt Michael Wagner mit vollem Mund von der Currywurst, die er mitten auf einer Kreuzung in Berlin auf die Schnelle isst. Im Imbissstand bereitet Tarek die Würste im Stakkato zu. Viele Deutsche lieben schnelles, billiges Essen und Fleisch gehört einfach dazu. Schon die alten Römer fanden, dass die Germanen keine ausgeprägte Esskultur haben. Das schlichte Essen gehört zur deutschen Identität und Fleisch wurde zum Kulturgut. Seine Verfügbarkeit für alle sorgte einst für politische Stabilität. Landwirte wie Henning Kock produzieren günstiges Schweinefleisch. Im sogenannten «Schweinegürtel», einer Region südwestlich von Bremen, hält er 2600 Tiere. Sie sind genetisch so veranlagt, dass sie sich trotz dauernder Verfügbarkeit von Futter nicht überfressen und rund 900 Gramm pro Tag zulegen. Mit Fleisch verdient auch Alina Henrici ihr Leben. In ihrer Metzgerei in Hessen lädt sie Kinder in die Wurstküche ein, damit diese verstehen, dass die Wurst nicht vom Discounter, sondern vom Tier kommt. Für viele ist Fleisch nicht wegzudenken. Doch nun streicht Freiburg im Breisgau das Fleisch vom Menu der Grundschulen und Kitas. Die Aufregung ist gross. (Erstausstrahlung: 4. März 2023)

This week is our 21st installment of an ongoing series called “Grave Mistakes: They Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. We bring you an in-depth exploration of another band that fits into our category of being an “in-betweener”: the amazingly awesome SAIGON KICK! This band straddled the world of the 80s hard n' heavy and the 90s alternative n' grunge. Like their touring buddies Extreme, they got a major hit with a ballad in the early 90s and got pigeonholed as a ballad band when they weren't that at all. We think this band should have been alongside Alice In Chains and STP… They Shoulda Been Huge!!! This episode is rooted in our Should Have Been category. This is a band that we have featured on the show before and exist in a category that we discussed at length back in Episode 133 – The Inbetweeners. They're from Robert's home state of Florida, but will our Florida-Man agree with Kevin's assessment and status of “Shoulda Been Huge”??? Have a listen and find out for yourself. Songs this week include:Saigon Kick – “Coming Home” from Saigon Kick (1991)Saigon Kick – “Hostile Youth” from The Lizard (1992)Saigon Kick – “On And On” from Water (1993)Saigon Kick – “Eden” from Devil In The Details (1995)Saigon Kick - “Dizzy's Vine” from Moments From The Fringe (1997)Saigon Kick – “Solitary Jerk” from Bastards (1999)Super Transatlantic – “Shuttlecock” from Shuttlecock (2000)Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://twitter.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uCheck out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/

Dave “The Snake” Sabo is a guitarist, songwriter and founding member of the band Skid Row. The band was formed in 1986 with bassist/songwriter Rachel Bolan and originally called Darkness. They went on to sell millions of records and tour with Guns ‘N Roses, Motley Crue, Kiss and others. Their new record “The Gang's All Here” is a return to form and bridges the gap between the first two records. We discuss the new album and working with producer Nick Raskulinecz, plus some of the old stuff, and tons of great band trivia - much of which I don't think has ever been revealed before!
