There are good and bad news when it comes to peacemaking. Bad news first: In today's world, we see more conflicts and wars than ever. At this moment of time, “peacemaking” looks like “deal-making”. And, by the way, ego-driven autocratic leaders and their entourage even financially profit from the deadly power games they have inflicted on others. The environment and conditions for trust and real dialogue, fact-based media, respect for international law and multilateral organizations seem to be worse than ever.The good news, however, is: Peacemaking has always been difficult, already in the 1960s – nevertheless, several UN peacemaking, mandate enforcement and peacekeeping missions have been successful. New concepts and methods around involving protest and civil rights movements, and – since 2010 – a focus on Women, Peace and Security have become part of contemporary diplomacy.But: Today's conflicts are pressing and have the potential to lead us to the brink of self-extermination – due to disinformation, technology and weapons of mass destruction, but most importantly due to unqualified and populist political leadership. What can inspire us from the 1960s when the United Nations became really global, with so many newly independent states in Africa and Asia, and an organization vetted with hope, competence and good leadership, with capacity and vision for a better and more peaceful world?Historian Thant Myint-U, the grandson of the third UN Secretary General U Thant – the first one from the Global South – will present and discuss his latest book “Peacemaker: U Thant, the United Nations, and the Untold History of the 1960s” and what this never-before-told story reveals about global politics and the prospects for future peace. Based in part on recently declassified papers, the book tells the story of a schoolteacher in a remote Burmese town who, within a little more than a decade, finds himself at the very center of global politics, as the UN's Secretary-General, mediating the Cuban Missile Crisis between Kennedy, Khrushchev and Castro, and then going on to confront one war after another through the turbulent 1960s, from Vietnam to the Congo and the Middle East. The story is the missing piece in the puzzle of how our world came to be and shines a fresh light on our real options today.Moderator Ulrike Lunacek together with Thant Myint-U will discuss what can inspire us from then and what real options we have or might have today. How to imagine a world where trust in functioning international organizations and multilateral rules-based United Nations can again become vibrant, including in the implementation of the necessary changes that have been postponed for too long. Thant Myint-U is an award-winning writer, historian, conservationist, and a former international public servant. He has served on three United Nations peacekeeping operations as well many years with the UN in New York as chief of policy planning. For over a decade, he helped lead reform efforts in Burma (Myanmar), including as a peace mediator. He is the founding chair of Yangon Heritage Trust. The author of five books, he is an Honorary Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, UK.Ulrike Lunacek, currently Special Envoy for Austria's candidature for a non-permanent seat in the UN Security Council, has had a long career in Austrian and European politics: between 1995 and 2020 she was i.a. Member of the Austrian Parliament, Member and Vicepresident of the European Parliament, and in 2020 briefly part of the ÖVP/Grüne government as Secretary of State for Arts and Culture. An active member of development/North-South as well as feminist and LGBTIQ activities/NGOs before and after her time in party politics, she has written and edited four books and lives in Vienna as moderator, speaker and author.
Tim and Dylan Hernandez discuss some possible LeBron James-Lakers tension, what led Steve Kerr to come back to the Warriors, and why Shohei Ohtani wants to continue to be a dual star.

In this episode, we examine the historiography of the Lost Cause from the original post-war vindications, to the North-South reconciliation truce of the early 20th century, to how modern professional historians reframed it as a dangerous “myth.” We also discuss Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger's recent laws targeting Confederate heritage groups and Robert E.

Howard Devoto and Pete Shelley read a review of the Sex Pistols in February 1976, borrowed a car, drove to London, asked the NME where they'd find the band and were told ‘try a sex shop in the King's Road'. The events that followed changed both the culture of Manchester and the course of rock history, a story mapped out in David Nolan's excellent ‘I Swear I Was There', a book as much about the audience as the band. His theory: “If the Pistols hadn't played the Lesser Free Trade Hall … no Buzzcocks, Joy Division, Factory Records, ‘indie' scene, Smiths, Fall, Nirvana, Blur, Oasis, Radiohead or Prodigy.' As the 50th anniversary looms, he talks to us here about … … those who claimed to be there and the ones who actually were … the contrast between myth and reality … the letter Morrissey sent the NME: “Maybe the Pistols will be able to afford some clothes which don't look as though they've been slept in” … punk metaphor: Howard Devoto asking a tailor to narrow his trouser legs and being told, “there's no going back” … North/South crowd violence: “a battle with a gig breaking out in the middle” … the three reels of home-movie and the photos that turned up 36 years later … Sister Rosetta Tharpe, ‘Judas' at the Free Trade Hall, Stones In The Park and other landmark Manchester moments ... the pioneering impact of Granada TV … “if you look at Manchester now, its media, its skyscrapers, its cultural prosperity, none of that would have been happened without those Pistols gigs” … “Sheffield would have admired them, Manchester thought: we can do better!” … and various bit-part players – Tony Wilson, Peter Hook, Paul Morley, Jordan and Jon the Postman.

When the Football League started in 1888 there were six clubs from the Midlands and six from Lancashire. Now look at the Premier League. Of the current 20 clubs, nine come from the effete South of England, in other words almost half. Jon Holmes, Colin Shindler and Jim White discuss whether this is a North-South divide or a London-versus-the-rest-of-the-country divide. We know to what extent football is ruled by money and we know that the North-South divide is a slightly euphemistic way of describing the disadvantaged North versus the over privileged South. So much is self-evident. But is this increasing concentration of wealth in the southern half of the country a good thing or a bad thing for football?” Listen to the podcast and let us know what you think (and where you live!)

Women and Work Through a Comparative Lens: Gender and the Urban Labor Markets of Premodern Brabant and Biscay explores women's economic roles in late medieval and early modern Europe, particularly through the lens of craft guilds and regional comparisons with the aim emphasising the visibility of women's economic activities in premodern Europe. The book explains the nature of guilds at this period, emphasising their male-dominated nature that limited women's formal participation while still allowing them to play significant roles within household economies. Among other topical issues examined in the book are the institutional factors that shaped women's economic roles in the 16th century, with details on how households in Brabant functioned as economic units with women managing income and administration. Also, the book explained how institutions such as guilds, households, informal markets, and town governments shaped women's economic opportunities in the 16th century. Through a comparative approach, the book allows for a deeper understanding of women's visibility and economic conditions, particularly through the analysis of taxation registers and the public versus private nature of women's work in different trades. The book contains a more nuanced comparison between specific regions in Europe, including Brabant and Biscay, to provide explanation on the North-South divide. The adoption of a comparative approach in the book enables a detailed analysis of women's labor opportunities including the fish trade, bread trade, itinerant informal trading, merchant activity and artisan work by examining two distinct regions. This comparative method reveals the complexities of women's economic positions and the varying factors that shaped their experiences cutting across town policy which placed restrictions due to guild influences. Mariam Olugbodi is a university teacher and a writer, she is the author of the monograph titled: “Stylistic Features in the 2011 and 2012 Final Matches Commentaries in the UEFA Champions League”, published by Grin Verlag. Mariam's greatest dream is seeing a world where knowledge is accessible to all. She does this through her volunteering roles on open knowledge platforms as a host and an editor.

The Magic of the Five: College Football's Most Iconic Number?In the cathedral of college football, certain numbers carry a weight that transcends the fabric they're stitched onto. But while the "No. 1" is often a self-proclaimed title and "No. 7" belongs to the gunslingers, the Number 5 has always hit differently. It is the digit of the ultimate "X-factor"—the jersey worn by the players who didn't just break tackles, they broke the spirit of opposing fanbases.From the breathtaking North-South lightning of Reggie Bush in the Coliseum to the dual-threat dominance of Vince Young on the fast tracks of the Big 12, wearing the number five has historically been a signal that something impossible was about to happen. It represents a specific lineage of speed, swagger, and "Heisman moments."But when you look back at the decades of highlight reels and championship rings, who truly wore it best? We are diving into the archives to rank the legends who transformed a simple single digit into a symbol of collegiate immortality.Top Candidates Not in the Hall of Fame:Pat White (West Virginia)A pioneer of the spread option offense, White became the first quarterback in college football history to start and win four consecutive bowl games. His incredible rushing ability transformed West Virginia into a national powerhouse and set the blueprint for the modern dual-threat quarterback.Christian McCaffrey (Stanford)McCaffrey shattered Barry Sanders' single-season all-purpose yards record in 2015, proving that a running back could be just as dangerous as a receiver and return specialist. His versatility at Stanford forced a re-evaluation of how Heisman-caliber players are measured across multiple phases of the game.Manti Te'o (Notre Dame)Te'o was the emotional and defensive heartbeat of Notre Dame's 2012 undefeated regular season, becoming one of the most decorated defensive players in history by sweeping nearly every major award. He remains a symbol of the "linebacker as a superstar," finishing as a rare Heisman Trophy runner-up from the defensive side of the ball.Larry Johnson (Penn State) Larry Johnson delivered one of the most dominant single seasons in college history in 2002, becoming only the ninth player to rush for over 2,000 yards in a regular season. His explosive senior year earned him the Maxwell and Doak Walker Awards, cementing his legacy as one of the premier power backs in Big Ten history.Heisman Winners of Jersey 5Paul Hornung (Notre Dame)Known as "The Golden Boy," Hornung holds the unique distinction of being the only player to win the Heisman Trophy while playing for a losing team (2-8 in 1956). He was a versatile "triple-threat" who led his team in passing, rushing, scoring, and kickoff returns.Reggie Bush (USC)One of the most electric playmakers in history, Bush was the centerpiece of the mid-2000s USC dynasty, combining elite speed and agility to redefine the "all-purpose" back. His 2005 season remains legendary for its highlight-reel runs and its role in keeping USC at the pinnacle of the sport during the BCS era.Jayden Daniels (LSU/Arizona State)A dual-threat sensation, Jayden Daniels became the first player in FBS history to pass for 12,000 yards and rush for 3,000 yards in a career. His 2023 Heisman Trophy-winning season at LSU was statistically historic, as he led the nation in total offense and set the record for the highest passer rating in a single season.Jameis Winston (Florida State)Jameis Winston made history in 2013 as the youngest player ever to win the Heisman Trophy while leading Florida State to an undefeated season and a BCS National Championship. During his two years as a starter, he lost only one game and restored the Seminoles to a position of national dominance through

Guest: Gregory Copley. Iran's collapse could dismantle the "International North-South Transport Corridor," a vital trade route for Russia and India. Copley argues that the Iranian public is increasingly secular, with the youth rejecting clerical authority. While the regime may fire remaining missiles in desperation, a post-clerical Iran could ignite Central Asian economic potential.

Host: Annik Sobing Guest: Peter Tirschwell, Senior Director, S&P Global / TPM Conference Founder Length: ~25 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center In this Simply Trade Roundup, host Annik Sobing sits down with global shipping and trade journalism leader Peter Tirschwell, the driving force behind the TPM Conference, to explore how a niche maritime newspaper event evolved into one of the premier gatherings in global container shipping. Peter shares the origin story of TPM: how the Journal of Commerce reinvented itself around 2000 by turning its deep reporting network into a live, editorially independent forum timed to the annual trans‑Pacific contract season. They discuss how TPM, held each March in Long Beach in the heart of the LA–Long Beach port complex, became a place where BCOs, carriers, NVOs, ports, and tech providers can gauge supply–demand balance, negotiate with better intelligence, and refresh critical relationships. Peter explains how the attendee mix has shifted over 25+ years, with hundreds of major shippers now present and representation from about 50 countries, turning TPM from a trans‑Pacific event into a broadly global container‑trade platform. What You'll Learn in This Episode How the Journal of Commerce pivoted from a collapsing print model to launch TPM as a data‑driven, neutral conference for BCOs and carriers. Why TPM is held in early March in Long Beach and how that timing aligns with trans‑Pacific contract cycles and port/rail/warehouse visits. How TPM's strictly editorial program (no “pay‑to‑speak”) builds trust, attracts senior executives, and shapes real contract and routing decisions. How the attendee base has grown to include ~575 shipper companies and participants from around 50 countries, spanning Asia–Europe, North–South, and more. How 2025's tariff shock—from ~2% to ~17–18% average duties—has pushed shippers to use TPM for cost‑reduction ideas, legal tariff strategies, and sourcing shifts. How TPM Tech and AI discussions are tackling repetitive-process automation, carrier cost reduction, and competitive risk if rivals adopt AI faster. Practical ways to “do TPM right”: coming in with a plan, choosing sessions strategically, and using the event to build and refresh critical relationships. Key Takeaways TPM now functions as a market pulse + relationship engine: attendees leave with clearer views on capacity, pricing, risk, and who they can rely on when markets tighten. Shippers are under intense pressure from tariffs and volatility; events like TPM help them hunt for every legal saving—from transport choices to customs strategies. AI is moving “fast and hard” into container shipping; companies that ignore it risk being undercut on cost and losing business to more efficient competitors. To get real value from TPM, attendees should arrive with specific problems to solve, a prioritized session list, and pre‑planned meetings across their network.

California owes its origins and sunny prosperity to slavery. Spanish invaders captured Indigenous people to build the chain of Catholic missions. Russian otter hunters shipped Alaska Natives--the first slaves transported into California--and launched a Pacific slave triangle to China. Plantation slaves were marched across the plains for the Gold Rush. San Quentin Prison incubated California's carceral state. Kidnapped Chinese girls were sold in caged brothels in early San Francisco. Indian boarding schools supplied new farms and hotels with unfree child workers. By looking west to California, Jean Pfaelzer upends our understanding of slavery as a North-South struggle and reveals how the enslaved in California fought, fled, and resisted human bondage. In unyielding research and vivid interviews, Pfaelzer exposes how California gorged on slavery, an appetite that persists today in a global trade in human beings lured by promises of jobs but who instead are imprisoned in sweatshops and remote marijuana grows, or sold as nannies and sex workers. California, a Slave State (Yale UP, 2023) shreds California's utopian brand, rewrites our understanding of the West, and redefines America's uneasy paths to freedom. Learn more about your ad choices.

Your migraines disappeared for 10 years... now they're back. Did you get worse, or are you actually getting better? This might sound crazy, but when migraines return after remission, it doesn't always mean you're declining. You might be moving through your migraine zone on your way to better health. In this episode, I teach the compass needle analogy. This is the framework I use to evaluate every client's true health status. Your health is like a compass needle. North is optimal health. As the needle moves west and south, it passes through symptom zones you're prone to: allergies, heartburn, migraines, autoimmune disease, and beyond. Here's what almost no one understands: You can be too sick to get migraines. Your needle can drop below your migraine zone into more severe illness. When I developed Graves' disease in 2012, I stopped getting migraines, not because I was healthier, but because I was too sick to generate them. The crucial question: When symptoms disappear, did your needle move toward north (health) or south (decline)? Medication can mask symptoms without moving your needle at all. Side effects often indicate your needle is dropping even further. I also share the story of a client whose migraines improved during a bad cold, her body didn't have enough vitality to do both. Plus, you'll hear about lessons from my work in addiction medicine where patients would suddenly get terrible colds around week three of recovery as their vitality returned.

In this episode of the Mike Drop podcast, host Mike Ritland sits down with Ken Rhee, a former Republic of Korea (ROK) Navy SEAL lieutenant who uniquely completed both Korean BUD/S and U.S. Navy SEAL training in Coronado. Raised in the U.S. from age three, Rhee returned to Korea driven by family patriotism, rising through Officer Candidate School to become a tier-one operator in the elite Special Mission Battalion (SMB). Rhee contrasts the brutal mental hazing of Korean SEAL training—complete with paddlings and concrete-head "thinking positions"—against the physical grind of U.S. BUD/S on Coronado's sandy beaches, while highlighting cultural clashes in discipline and confinement. He delves into ROK SEAL gear mirroring U.S. standards (HK416s, Glocks, Crye Precision kits), the ever-present North Korean threat with its massive artillery shadowing Seoul, and the high-tension skirmishes that nearly sparked war. This interview is a fascinating deep dive into cross-cultural special operations, North-South tensions, and the unyielding SEAL ethos. Learn more about your ad choices.

It's grim up North. But thankfully, it's also weird. Deliciously, darkly, disturbingly weird! This week we are celebrating the Northern Weird Project – six novellas published by Wild Hunt Books (including one by yours truly!). In this first roundtable, I've gathered two of the writers and the genius behind the project, Ariell Cacciola, to talk about Northern literary culture in the North, haunted landscapes, isolated oddness, and the North/South divide.

Amid evolving trade dynamics, CBRE experts reveal how nearshoring, supply chain reinvention and revitalized twin-plant models are reshaping industrial markets on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Notably, demand for logistics space and construction activity is booming along the I-35 Corridor.Key takeaways on U.S.-Mexico Border Markets: · Port Laredo Surpasses Traditional Gateways: Currently the top U.S. import hub by value, Laredo's rise reflects a structural shift in trade flows. Demand for modern logistics facilities near the U.S.'s southern border continues to grow. · Kansas City Leads for Absorption and Connectivity: With 28% leasing growth and strategically situated along I-35 with access to a newly unified Canada–Mexico rail system, Kansas City is emerging as a central node for North–South supply chains—ideal for occupiers seeking scalable inland distribution. · 14M+ SF Under Construction in El Paso and Laredo. These border markets are seeing major development of automation-ready cold storage and FTZ-enabled facilities. This signals long-term confidence and presents opportunities for early investment in next-gen industrial assets. · Twin-Plant Models Resurge: The return of dual facilities operating on both sides of the border is fueling demand for more sophisticated manufacturing and distribution space t. Occupiers should evaluate cross-border strategies to optimize labor and logistics. · Keen Competition to Secure Labor Cost Advantages: Border markets offer up to 70% labor cost savings vs. most U.S. cities, and have a skilled workforce. However, occupiers must act strategically to secure talent in a highly competitive market.
A recap and review of the sleeper hit BBC Miniseries North & South, discussed without full details to allow for elements of surprise when watching it yourself. Based on a book written by Elizabeth Gaskell in 1855, the miniseries follows the story of a young woman moving abruptly from a picturesque existence in the South of England to an industrial town in the North. Throughout, the 2005 film adaptation of Pride & Prejudice is mentioned to highlight how the two stories, and productions, share similarities. Then, how a new version of Dracula manages to present a fresh take by focusing on the intense connection between two star-crossed lovers. After a review of what sets this next vampire iteration apart from others before it, we delve into the history of it's director and my theory about why it wasn't originally distributed in America and won't be available in those theaters until next year.
