Quilt is Queen’s University’s undergraduate literary publication. It was established by members of the English Department Student Council in 2020, with the goal of providing writers across disciplines at Queen's University a platform to share their brilliant work and to collaborate with those who might not share their same program of study, but do share a passion for the written word. Quilt strives to bridge the gap between creative and academic writing and foster a space where the intersection between formality and imagination can exist. In this CFRC takeover, the Quilt team chats about Quilt, its upcoming launch event ahead of the upcoming issue’s title, NOSTOS.  Enjoy!

In questo episodio conosciamo chi era Sara Pedri, che oggi non ha nemmeno più un nome per la cronaca italiana, ma soltanto una professione e una provenienza: la ginecologa di Forlì. Insieme alla sorella Emanuela scopriremo il suo carattere, le sue insicurezze e ripercorreremo gli eventi che ci hanno portato qui, tre anni dopo, a chiedere giustizia in suo nome.

In late December a petition was launched titled “Nostos for Greek Adoptees,” asking the Greek state to recognize some 4,000 Greek-born adoptees - the so-called Lost Children of Greece. While there were many legal adoptions during the post-war era, many were not. Dr. Mary Cardaras, a Greek-born adoptee, author, journalist, and founder and director of The Demos Center at The American College of Greece, joins Thanos Davelis to tell the story of these Lost Children of Greece, and look at what steps can be taken from Athens to bring them back to their roots.Dr. Mary Cardaras is also the author of “Ripped at the Root” and editor of “Voices of the Lost Children of Greece”.Read Mary Cardaras' latest in Kathimerini on this subject here: Nostos for Greek adoptees: It's long past timeOur stories and our records belong to usYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Greece says it's hoping to nudge ally Armenia's alliances westwardUS tourist numbers increasing rapidly

Nostos Louise Gluck There was an apple tree in the yard — this would have been forty years ago — behind, only meadows. Drifts of crocus in the damp grass. I stood at that window: late April. Spring flowers in the neighbor's yard. How many times, really, did the tree flower on my birthday, the exact day, not before, not after? Substitution of the immutable for the shifting, the evolving. Substitution of the image for relentless earth. What do I know of this place, the role of the tree for decades taken by a bonsai, voices rising from tennis courts — Fields. Smell of the tall grass, new cut. As one expects of a lyric poet. We look at the world once, in childhood. The rest is memory.

My guest for this episode is Devika Narayanan. Devika is a university student studying Manufacturing Engineering in India. For the past few years, she has been helping build and scale a non-profit organization named Nostos Homes. Nostos builds innovative homes for families that have lost their homes due to climate disasters like floods or cyclones.  Providing safe and secure homes and medical and social infrastructure for families that have been forcibly displaced allows them to rebuild their lives and restore their privacy and personal dignity. This is a cause very close to Devika's heart. Growing up in Kerala (a state in India), she witnessed severe flooding every monsoon season. Some years, when the floods were particularly ruthless, close relatives and friends had their homes washed away, leaving absolutely nothing behind.   Devika noticed that forcible displacement didn't just mean losing a home. It also meant that these families lost their jobs and education and often fell ill without access to sanitation or clean water. Devika knew she had to do something to help these families and millions of other such families grappling with the realities of forcible displacement.   This motivated her to join Nostos Homes as its Chief of Staff at its inception to help provide homes to such families across the world. Every day at Nostos, she works towards a world where everyone, even those in the most vulnerable communities, has a safe and secure home.    Devika realized that homes were important, but it wasn't the end of these families' worries. She was also moved by healthcare inaccessibility due to either geographical remoteness or financial barriers. This has led her to focus professionally on increasing equitable access to healthcare.   Devika has interned with the Clinton Health Access Initiative to decrease Tuberculosis drug resistance in India and with the corporate strategy team at Cipla. At the latter, she worked on identifying strategic opportunities to combat antimicrobial resistance. She has also worked with Pfizer, where she built pipelines to improve access to critical medicines and vaccines in some key markets.  Here's what to expect during the episode: What organizations or agencies are currently working to provide homes to displaced people worldwide? How can individuals and communities get involved in supporting efforts to provide homes to displaced people? How does providing homes to displaced people affect their long-term well-being and the surrounding community? What are some of the most common natural disasters that result in people losing their homes?  What impact does losing a home have on children and their families? Connect with Devika Narayanan!

Everyone knows we love "firsts" on the No Outlet podcast and I am happy to say that we have another first! We've had doctors, authors, scientists, comedians, actors, improv artists, animal activists, teachers, Hemp and Cannabis pioneers etc.... However, we have never (until now) had a Mixed Martial Artist on the show. This is not just any Mixed Martial artist as Devin is also a BJJ Black Belt, was the #1 ranked fight in the northeast, a contracted fighter with the UFC & Belator, NEF title holder and he owns an amazing Gym in beautiful Somersworth NH. I have been a fan of this guy for years and I have wanted to have him on the show and it was worth the wait! We talked about how he got into the sport, his time in the UFC, some war stories/injuries (ruptured testicle anyone), his other passion of guitar playing, the art of loving cars without really knowing anything about them, the being of NOSTOS, he gives some props to some of his top students/fighters, the nightmare of losing site in one eye while relying on a "Gas Station Hospital" in a foreign country (FUN!), he confirms the existence of interdimensional beings (I think), he provides his Mount Rushmore of MMA fighters, talks about Carlos Condit staying at this house, the joy of re-watching TV shows, the stark reality of fighter pay in MMA, the challenges of being a parent and the importance of the upcoming Blink-182 reunion among many other topics. If you are looking for a place to get in shape or know someone who would benefit from learning any of the disciplines that NOSTOS offers, I highly recommend  you check them out https://www.nostosmmagym.com/ its got a great vibe and they are in it for all the right reasons. Thank you for coming on the show and we hope you all enjoyed the conversation as much as we did! #UFC, #MMA, #FORDBRONCO, #WEC, #FRIENDS, #THEOFFICE, #NOSTOS, #jakeshields, #mikebrown, #SOBO, #Marshwood, #Somersworth, #devinpowell, #mustang, #GFL, #Dover, #BJJ, #hagansmotorpool, #tapout, #affliction, #danawhite, #GSP, #BJPENN

The forecast hot weather has come and gone, but its psychological, as much as physical, effects feel a bit harder to shift. So join with me tonight as we gaze deeply into the mirrored dome of the night sky and its web of starlight, to discover what stories they tell and their challenge for us to begin to create newer ones.   Journal entry:22nd July, Friday“Every day shakes the kaleidoscope. Lift it to your eye. Twist the base and look.Today, three young jackdaws chase each other Through the feathery green of the ash tree In a carnival of silver rain.It calls to somewhere deep inside of us, Doesn't it? You, me, and whatever is behind Our biggest questions And lies beyond the heathlands of right and wrong.”Episode Information:In this episode I quote a section from Jack Johnson's song ‘Constellations' which was released on his album In Between Dreams on Bushfire Records in 2005. You can listen to it here: ‘Constellations'.   I also read an excerpt from Susan Hanson's essay ‘Deep in the Heart' found in Let There Be Night edited by Paul Goodard (2008) published by Uni of Nevada.John Moriarty talks about the impact of western mythology on the psyche and culture of western civilisations in many of his books; particularly, Nostos, An Autobiography (2001) and What the Curlew Said: Nostos Continued (2007). The best introduction to John's writing is the excellent John Moriarty: Not The Whole Story (2018) written by Mary McGillicuddy. All these books are published by Lilliput Press. For more information about Nighttime on Still WatersYou can find more information and photographs about the podcasts and life aboard the Erica on our website at noswpod.com.

Nostalgikern lyssnar till musik från förr, doftar på blommor som väcker minne och längtar till barndomens platser. Om platser dit vi längtar, där vi känner oss som hemma, berättar Robert Eriksson som själv är en nostalgiker. Nostos betyder hemkomst och algos betyder smärta. Den plats vi kommer ifrån är en gåva till oss. Och när vi återvänder hem till alla de där platserna där våra liv utspelade sig en gång, kanske vi börjar minnas saker som vi har förträngt eller glömt. Minnen som kan hjälpa oss att förstå varför vi är som vi är och uppskatta just den livsberättelse som blivit vår.Robert Eriksson,författare och musiker, är pastor och föreståndare i Betlehemskyrkan, GöteborgTextJohannesevangeliets 14 kapitelMusikEn sång till dig av Sara Zacharias med Tomas Andersson WijProducent Neta Norrmo ljudmix Frida Claesson Johansson för Sveriges Radio Göteborg liv@sverigesradio.se

Welcome to part eight of our current series, Knowing What You Believe and Why You Believe It. In this episode, Les Norman and Ed Croteau wrap up understanding American culture and the final worldview, Christianity. Unlike postmodernism, Christianity teaches that there is an absolute truth that you can know. Understanding who God is and the mechanics of the gospel is the key to understanding Christianity. God gives us examples and evidence that allows us to know Him in two different ways. The Greek words "nostos" and "ginoskos" are used in the Bible. Ginoskos is mentioned in John 17:3: "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent." Ginoskos refers to "absolute knowledge or deep understanding." Nostos refers to "what can be known by observation or studied." The Christian worldview emphasizes the gospel as the key to knowledge. The gospel proclaims that the Father made the Son, who knew no sin, to become sin for us. So that we might become the righteousness of God in the Son. Once we understand the mechanics of the gospel, we can know God as a person. Justice and fairness is defined by God. God is righteousness. God is love. He is justice. Because God is holy, he can't forgive sin. Instead, He credits our sin to His son's account and credits His son's righteousness to us. Unlike postmodernism, Christianity isn't an intellectual defense, but devotion to God as a person.

We left you last week with an introduction to the far-too-good-for-him-smash-the-patriarchy-don't-take-no-bullshit-stay-out-of-my-larder Queen of Ithaca, fighter of Suitors, keeper of households, and skilled AF weaver, wife of Odysseus.Fending off the greedy, luring Suitors who are quite literally eating her out of house and home, she devises trick after scheme to hold onto the life she has built in Odysseus' absence. You may have heard of the shroud (especially if you listened to Part One of this episode... and if you didn't... good luck to ya). But there's more. So, she survives. OH, she survives. Seriously, she's so good EVEN ODYSSEUS is impressed at one point.

WE ARE BACK BITCHES.Ostensibly, this episode is about the Greek term nostos – a heroic return home – in celebration of our return to our metaphorical podcast home at MD (it's cheesy but we're sticking with it). In reality, you'll be privy to Sarah and Abi catching up about their lives post-hiatus (don't worry – we have in fact spoken in the interim...).  When we do finally get around to talking about nostoi (the plural of nostos, for you grammar nerds), it starts obscure before we get to the typical mythological ‘returns' ... because we like to keep you on your toes. You'll hear about Philoctetes' smelly foot, Oedipus' awkward family relations, Diomedes' perfect nostos (of course Diomedes smashed it), and the Aeneid, the OG of ‘Home is where the heart is'. 

و دلوقتى هتكلم عن مصطلح نوستالجيا . و النوستالجيا هو مصطلح يستخدم لوصف الحنين إلى الماضي، و أصل الكلمة يرجع إلى اللغة اليونانية إذ تشير إلى الألم الذي يعانيه المريض إثر حنينه للعودة لبيته وخوفه من عدم تمكنه من ذلك للأبد، تم وصفها على أنها حالة مرضية أو شكل من أشكال الاكتئاب في بدايات الحقبة الحديثة . وظهرت النوستالجيا لأول مرّة في القرنين الثامن عشر والتاسع عشر تحديدًا في عام 1688م، بمعنى الحنين إلى الوطن، أو الانتماء الحقيقي إلى الوطن، أو العودة النهائية إلى الوطن، وأصل الكلمة يوناني مكونة من Nostos، وهي العودة إلى الوطن، وalga وهي الألم. و في الغالب النوستالجيا هي حب شديد للعصور الماضية بشخصياتها وأحداثها. و أظهرت دراسة أجرتها جامعة سري في لندن عام 2017، أن للنوستالجيا فوائد صحية رغم ألم العاطفة الذي يتسبب به الحنين إلى الماضي، ومن أهم الفوائد التي ثبتت صحتها: 1.هى ان الحنين إلى الماضي يشحن الدماغ بطاقة إيجابية لأنه يثير العواطف بشدة. 2. و الشعور بالانتماء والرضا النفسي. 3. و الرغبة في الاستمرار بالعيش وخوض تجارب جديدة. 4.و لأن الماضي بالنسبة للإنسان فترة معلومة من حياته فهو يمده بالشعور بالأمان والراحة النفسية، تمامًا كالشعور الذي يحققه التأمل أو رياضة اليوغا. و عندما يلجأ الإنسان إلى العيش في الماضي والانغماس كثيرًا، واللجوء إلى أساليب وحيل دفاعية مثل أحلام اليقظة، أو إنكار شيء حدث في الماضي، هذا من شأنه أن يؤدي إلى إعاقة النمو والتطور، ويصبح الشخص غير قادر على اتخاذ أي قرار في حياته، أو أن يتطور بشكل سليم في الحياة. و يمكن التخفيف من النوستالجيا عن طريق : 1 – و ضع الأمور في مكانها الصحيح، وكن على يقين بأن الماضي بما فيه من ذكريات جميلة أو سيئة لن يعود، ولن تعود تعيش هذه الأيام مرّة ثانية. 2- و المحافظة على علاقاتك الطيبة. 3- و محاولة نسيان الذكريات و الصراعات السيئة التي حدثت في الماضي. و في عام 2012 أطلقت شركة جوجل بالتعاون مع 4 من أكبر الشركات العالمية مبادرة Project ReBrief لإعادة انتاج أكثر إعلانات هذه الشركات ابتكاراً وإبداعاً. و يهدف المشروع الى تحويل أفكار الإعلانات الكلاسيكية القديمة الى العصر الرقمي، وتقديمها بلغة مستهلك الألفية الثالثة، من خلال هذه المبادرة تسعى جوجل الى الإستفادة من خبرة المخرجين والمسوقين السابقين و إستخدام التكنولوجيا الحديثة التى لم تكن متوفرة سابقا في إنتاج صياغة جديدة للإعلانات القديمة لتطلق بذلك العنان للذكريات السعيدة في الإنطلاق من جديد ومشاركتها مع الذين لم يعيشوا معنا نفس الأحداث او الفترة الزمنية. تقديم و تصميم وإعداد و مونتاج و إخراج نهى نصار شكراً لحسن إستماعكم المصادر : https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/نوستالجيا

On this episode of the podcast Sabrina Perry(@theperrylegoadventures)and Shelly Corbett(@shellycorbettphotography) discuss the latest toy photography monthly challenge #tp_nostalgia. Nostalgia comes from two Greek words Nostos meaning homecoming and Algos meaning pain or ache. For some people, nostalgia is about remembering the good old days fondly. For others, nostalgia is a bittersweet remembrance of the past. A lot of times it can be both. This challenged seemed to be the perfect way to end the year. It felt like a way to share a little bit of the good old days in our toy photography, and people did that. But, it also was a bittersweet way to remember the past. A time before the pandemic. Is toy photography inherently nostalgic? Do we as toy photographers gravitate towards certain toys, and ideas because they stir feelings of nostalgia in us? What makes a photo nostalgic? Listen in as Shelly and I discuss these questions and more as we tackle toy photography and nostalgia in the midst of a pandemic. As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts after listening to the episode; leave a comment below or join our communities on MeWe, Facebook, or Instagram! Also, please be sure to “revisit” the blog for all things toy photography-related! 

En la web de Ediciones Anómalas se lee esto: "De los libros nos gusta todo. El olor y el tacto del papel, la tipografía, los blancos, el sonido acariciador de las hojas al pasar … y el placer único de cerrarlos con la satisfacción de haber disfrutado de experiencias y momentos que ya son nuestros y que nos han hecho un poco más inteligentes o que han tocado profundidades que son de todos, aunque pocos son capaces de ponerlas al alcance de los demás. Los libros son un deleite físico y un motivo de gozo espiritual. Las dos caras de un oficio del que nos sentimos continuadores, con el afán de merecer la confianza de lectores exigentes." Si tenéis alguno de sus volúmenes ya sabéis que eso que dicen es cierto. Si no, ya estáis tardando. Id a su web, elegid uno de sus trabajos y descubriréis que la experiencia comienza en el preciso instante en el que el mensajero os entrega un paquete hecho con todo el mimo y que contendrá, sin ninguna duda, alguno de los mejores libros de fotografía editados en nuestro país. Hoy, en Calle Oscura, Montse Puig. En este episodio hablamos de - Por qué la Fotografía se lleva tan bien con los libros. - El proceso de selección de proyectos. - Cómo se hacen, de principio a fin. - Cuánto cuestan. - Lo que aporta publicar un libro (y lo que no). - Que a veces un libro no es el formato adecuado. - Del mercado editorial. - La dificultad de calcular las tiradas. - De las ferias de Fotografía más interesantes. - La heroicidad de publicar libros de fotografía (en según qué países).

Today's guest is David Neville, Head of Machine Learning at Nostos Genomics in Berlin. Nostos Genomics partners with genetic testing labs to give more people with genetic diseases a fast and clear diagnosis. Over 300 million people live with a rare genetic disease and for most, the journey from the first symptoms to a diagnosis can take years. Now, new technology is allowing millions to benefit from genetic testing for diagnosis, while at the same time targeted therapies for previously untreatable disorders are being developed. However, the last step in genetic testing – interpreting mutations – remains laborious and costly. Because of limited understanding of the consequences of mutations, the test results are often inconclusive and leave 70% of people undergoing a genetic test without a diagnosis. Nostos Genomics platform leverages a unique combination of machine learning and synthetic biology to characterize mutations at scale and automate the interpretation. By offering it to labs, they enable them to diagnose more people in a fraction of the time. In the episode, David will discuss: How he got into the world of AI, Nostos Genomics impact within rare genetic diseases, Problems they are solving through leveraging AI, The importance of XAI in the Healthcare sector, and What the future holds for AI in Healthcare

Presenting: a conversation with UNFLATTENING creator Nick Sousanis on his process, his work, drawing badly well, Bertrand Russell, Batman, and the joys and pains of drawing 500 babies. In which: we not only codify the truth that comics are essential but discuss the capacity of children to teach us how to be more aware... his progress and process on the follow-up to UNFLATTENING, NOSTOS... the "extended cognition" drawing grants us when we fall into the trap of thinking too much like a writer (raises hand)... getting over one's fear of drawing badly through Grids and Gestures... and the upcoming Adapting Comics for Blind and Low Vision Readers symposium. Nick's bio: > Nick Sousanis is an Eisner-winning comics author and an associate professor of Comics Studies, Humanities, & Liberal Studies at San Francisco State University. He received his doctorate in education at Teachers College, Columbia University in 2014, where he wrote and drew his dissertation entirely in comic book form. Titled UNFLATTENING, it argues for the importance of visual thinking in teaching and learning, and was published by Harvard University Press in 2015. Unflattening received the 2016 American Publishers Awards for Professional and Scholarly Excellence (PROSE Award) in Humanities, the Lynd Ward Prize for best Graphic Novel of 2015, and was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Scholarly/Academic work...> Recent comics include “Against the Flow” and “Upwards” in The Boston Globe, “The Fragile Framework” for Nature in conjunction with the 2015 Paris Climate Accord co-authored with Rich Monastersky, and “A Life in Comics” for Columbia University Magazine – for which he received an Eisner Award for Best Short Story in 2018.Chapters: - Intro and technical babystep preamble (00:00)- "Every page I have to learn new things..." (02:13)- "I could keep coming back to that word..."(05:00)- "Batman is my first word..." (13:18)- "You're dancing between those two modes..." (17:13)- On Grids and Gestures (24:07)- "They change how they think by drawing..." (28:34)- "It's helpful to me because I can see everything... the drawing becomes this sort of extended cognition..." (32:09)- "So much of the new book is about conversations I had around the first one..."(37:38)- "My kid learns through moving..." (39:33)- "You want them to be ... more thoughtful... more aware..."(45:04)- On the Adapting Comics for Blind & Low Vision Readers Symposium (50:23) - "The accident of bad drawing can teach you to go places you don't expect..." (58:55)- Outro (1:05:19)Linkage: - You can connect with Nick and explore his work via his website, spinweaveandcut.com, and on Twitter, @nsousanis.- The Adapting Comics for Blind & Low Vision Symposium takes place from 9AM-4PM PT on Thursday, 12 August 2021. More info here.Me, in 2018, on UNFLATTENING (which still stands): > At once a profound work of philosophy and of comics mastery, Nick Sousanis's UNFLATTENING is an illumination of the seen and the unseen world rooted in the limitless potential of the comics medium, an exciting remix of centuries worth of thought that breaks free of the boundaries of the panel and the page and guides us through the flatlands of our prepackaged assumptions and hardwired, habitual beliefs into new, combinatorial realms of possibility.> Great works invite – no, demand – revisitation so that their innumerable secrets and layers might be fully explored and discovered. UNFLATTENING is no exception: in this love letter to both a medium and to our capacity for expansive thought, Sousanis has created something truly special: a journey into the furthest reaches of our awareness and understanding that asks us only for the best of ourselves, a journey that begs to be revisted time and again.> A must-read.Theme music, "Intersections," by Uziel Colón.

El desierto con sus atardeceres multicolores es el escenario de la historia de Johari, un niño huérfano que vivía en Kalahari, el lugar más triste del mundo. Cerca de cumplir los doce años, un comerciante de telas llamado Nala decidió adoptarlo. A pesar de su buena fortuna, la vida no fue lo que él esperaba, entonces Johari empezó a lamentar su suerte. Un día, con motivo del cumpleaños del emperador, su padre le pidió que hiciera un viaje por el vasto desierto para llevar seis rollos de seda hasta la ciudad imperial. Al inicio de la travesía se encontró con un pozo en el que habitaba Nostos, la bruja del olvido y las memorias perdidas. Fue ella quien, a cambio de un poco de agua, lo ayudó a recordar el último deseo de su madre: que fuera feliz. El largo camino de Johari lo llevará a descubrir que la verdadera felicidad se encuentra en el lugar más insospechado de todos. Biografía: Alexandra Campos Hanon nació en la CDMX en 1975.

Episode Transcript:Hey uh...is this thing on? I guess I have no way of knowing, huh? Hello?Uh, hi.My name is Wyatt.I found this place yesterday. It's...it's uh, I dunno I guess it's a radio station or something...outside Olympia. I think it's working? It looks like it.I got separated from my friends. I mean, I guess more I got lost when we were hiking...but...I can't find any way out of here.Like, I can't find the door anywhere and I can't get any of the windows open. I guess I'm safe at least, for now, so...it's not all bad.Anyway, I, uh, hope anyone is close enough that someone can hear this...maybe you can find a way to meet up with me and get me out of here.The station was near the water, I dunno if it was a lake or something, I remember seeing water before getting in here. I dunno. I dunno exactly where but there can't be that many radio stations around here, right?Like, big tower, off in the forest. Y'know? You can see the water. I don't really know where else....I dunno.I'll keep this running just in case...I don't even know if it's working...oh god I'm probably just talking to myself.I guess I'll keep it running in case, if it is working, y'know?Maybe...maybe I can figure out how to play some music or something. I've got my laptop but like...I don't think I can just plug in an aux cord, I don't know if I even have one. I mean it's a radio station, it should have something.I think I can at least pick a song from th-static, unintelligible voicesdead airstaticI, uh, I don't think that worked. That...I don't know what just happened there.Oh, wait, I think I remember from school you have to do...this and then this.music startsOh hey, yeah I think that did it.song playsThat one says it was, uh, I think uh, I don't even know where to se- oh here. Spending All My Time by, uh, Neshcomplex. Oh, okay.But, uh, yeah, I don't know how to get out of here. Like, no matter what I do, nothing opens, like, y'know? Like I can't even find where the hell the doors are and I tried to smash a window but it didn't budge. I can't get it open and...God I hope someone can hear me.SilenceSorry, uhSilenceI guess if you can hear me; hi, I'm Wyatt and I like music and writing. I usually spend my time writing reviews for a blog and stuff. Not...not like a snob reviews or anything. I just write reviews for stuff I like hopefully...hopefully get other people to like it too.Static with distorted sounds underneath it....Vancouver, like Washington, not Canada. I was out driving with some friends and we stopped at this rest stop and we decided to take a break for a while and get out and stretch for a bit and we went hiking and I don't...I don't know. I guess I got distracted cause there was a cool tree and then I kept walking and I found this place and I thought it would be cool to check out and...I don't...I don't know. I don't know where anybody is now.We were...we were on our way down to California. We were on a road trip. There was four of us. I don't know where anybody is...I wonder if they'll like...call a park ranger or something. This place has to be on a map somewhere, y'know? Like somewhere has to have this place so it shouldn't be too hard to find. Like...if I go missing in the woods, they'll look for me, right?I hope someone can hear me.I think the problem might be I don't remember how far I was walking. It could have been five minutes, it could have been an hour. I don't...I was just kinda looking at stuff and I don't know how far I got away from everybody else.SilenceI just wanna go home.SilenceSorry, uh, here lemme play another song. And while I'm gone maybe I'll see if I can get my laptop or my phone set up to play something too. Can't hurt, right? Unless it does.Nostos by Neshcomplex playsSo, uh, I realized something while I was gone. There's...nothing outside. Like, yesterday when I was trying to get through the window I was kinda panicking and I was just... I was trying to just throw...I just started throwing shit at the window, but then I just...I don't know I just wasn't paying attention. But I just noticed there's nothing out there. It's just black.Like, maybe the windows were just boarded up and I just didn't notice when I was coming in or something?But...that wouldn't explain why there's power.Maybe it's like, a city thing like, since it's a utility and city owned they can't shut off the power?My phone doesn't get any signal in here...maybe...maybe cause it's a radio station, y'know? Interference or something I don't know...it's…I'm sure somebody is out looking for me.I think it's been, at least a day.Maybe they thought I got a ride back thought.But they would, they would call me though and when I didn't answer they would send…I hope someone's looking.I'm um...it's been weird today, y'know?I...it's funny, I kinda always dreamed about being in one of these. Like, professionally, y'know?Like, all through college I took...I went and took a bunch of...not broadcasting, it was...it was one of those things where I didn't want to be on microphone, I'm not really great at it.Um, but like, doing producing and stuff for music and...y'know this looks kinda like it. It's not the same though, cause, y'know, there's a giant antenna hooked up to it.But...it's kind of like it, and, y'know...I don't...I don't know what's going on and I'm really scared right now.And...I'm...I don't know. Y'know? Like, there's obviously weird shit, y'know? But...why doesn't my phone work...and why can't I see out the windows…?silenceAnyway, I think I might try to take a nap.I'll try to come back tomorrow...or something.If you can hear me, this is Wyatt Soma, and I'm...stuck.I...I'm outside of Olympia, in the woods, in an old radio station.So...come find me please.I really want to go home.I'll um...I'll leave with another song, just so it stays on a little longer.Have a good night...if it is, I don't actually know.Bye.Across the Horizon Line (Reconnect) by Neshcomplex plays

Nostos is a Greek word for homecoming. Odysseus takes a long time to get home from the Trojan War and everything had changed, including Odysseus. In Psalm 137, the Judeans longed for home and couldn't sing their songs in a strange land. Nostalgia is an ache for home or for the past. Something is missing in each of us. Jesus talks today about looking upon him on his cross for healing. Learn of the love of God and what it means to go home.

This newsletter is really a weekly public policy thought-letter. While excellent newsletters on specific themes within public policy already exist, this thought-letter is about frameworks, mental models, and key ideas that will hopefully help you think about any public policy problem in imaginative ways. It seeks to answer just one question: how do I think about a particular public policy problem/solution?PS: If you enjoy listening instead of reading, we have this edition available as an audio narration courtesy the good folks at Ad-Auris. If you have any feedback, please send it to us.India Policy Watch: Thinking About Digital ColonialismInsights on burning policy issues in India— RSJThe unbridled power of large digital platforms is back in focus. Last week Google India announced all apps within Play Store must use its billing system that charges a 30 per cent commission on all transactions. The Indian start-up community that has been angling for raising barriers for global platforms to access domestic market lost no time in pushing back against the ‘Google Tax’. That seems to have worked. Google has postponed this move to April 2022. Google (and Apple) claim this commission is the compensation for their efforts at keeping their stores safe and secure.Meanwhile, the US Congressional investigation into the power of Big Tech (Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google) concluded last week with a voluminous 450-page report. The report indicts them in no uncertain terms:"These firms have too much power, and that power must be reined in and subject to appropriate oversight and enforcement. Our economy and democracy are at stake.”The recommendations (pg 378 onward) to rein in these companies and restore competition in the digital economy however cover familiar grounds – structural separation of lines of business, curbs on acquisitions, allowing interoperability and open access, checking abuse of bargaining powers and strengthening antitrust laws and enforcement. You could almost use the same recommendations a century ago when looking to control railroad or oil monopolies. Surely, these will be useful (if they eventually translate into laws) to bring a semblance of control over Big Tech. But will they be enough?I don’t think so.The traditional way of looking at monopolies is to understand the factors that lead to their creation and the abuse they inflict or the harm they do to the customers and the society. The sources of monopoly power usually are technology, control of natural resources, access to capital or lack of alternatives in the market. This power is then abused by the monopolist. The most common abuse is that of being a price maker that maximises profits. The usual antitrust laws attack both the source and the abuse of monopoly power.But there’s a problem in regulating Big Tech with these antitrust laws: the source of their monopoly power and the harm they do to societies is orthogonal to how the traditional monopolies operated.Given this, how should we think about regulating them? We can begin by analysing the dominance of these players in the digital economy using the traditional monopoly framework and then going beyond it.I will elaborate on this next.Digital monopolies are unavoidable: There’s no single source of monopoly power for them. Its an alchemy of network effect, bundling of services, a bottomless pit of capital and high exit barriers that create a lock-in for customers. This makes it a winner-takes-all market. Infusing competitive intensity by breaking up these firms on lines of business or creating a ‘local’ alternative won’t work because these Big Tech ‘babies’ will soon turn into a monopoly.Two-sided platforms: Most big tech firms have been successful in creating two-sided platforms of buyers and sellers. Sometimes this is apparent to the end customer (for instance, Uber) but often this isn’t (Google or Facebook). In these two-sided platforms, the tech firms tend to be monopolies (dominant seller) on one side and monopsonies (dominant buyer) on the other. So, Google has a near-monopoly on search that it provides for free. On the other hand, for any company wanting to advertise on digital platforms, Google is the dominant buyer. It actually auctions keywords. This two-sided dominance is different from the monopolies of the past.There’s no ‘one’ business: In the earlier era, the dominance of a monopoly could be easily understood because of the distinct nature of their business. A railroad company was just in that business. So was a telecom company. But it’s difficult to categorise the big tech players into a single type of business. Amazon can position itself as a tech company to investors, an e-commerce platform to sellers and a retailer to regulators. Facebook is a social media platform whose business isn’t easy to define. Maybe it is a publisher or a media company, but it isn’t structured like one. Maybe it’s a community that brings the world closer (ha!). What’s worse the companies themselves don’t know where they will end up in future. Facebook has long wanted to start a digital currency and become a financial services company. Amazon has become the largest cloud service provider plus an on-demand entertainment platform while Google has its moonshots including wanting to be an autonomous car company. Which business of these companies do you regulate?Asymmetry of power and knowledge: In a traditional monopoly situation, the customers sense the harm in the form of exploitative prices or a lack of voice in making their grievances heard. This is almost absent here. On any traditional yardstick of customer satisfaction – loyalty, retention or advocacy – these platforms score high. The pervasive nature of these platforms is such even a few minutes of outage creates widespread anxiety. Most customers have no sense of their exploitation despite the platforms knowing and using almost everything about the customer. This is the definition of absolute asymmetry where one side doesn’t even know there’s asymmetry.Data appropriation: The ‘natural resources’ over which these platforms have a monopoly are our attention and the data that flows from the rhythms of our daily lives. The attention and data are then transmuted into factors of production and monetised in many different ways. All of this is done through our consent. Life is too short to read the terms and conditions while signing up to these platforms. The unanticipated consequences of handing over these ‘natural resources’ are difficult to fathom for most people. From nudging you to buy something you didn’t need, to flooding your timelines with propaganda that’s aimed at you – the algorithms control your behaviour. This monopoly power is difficult to dimension. Even the platforms often don’t understand it. The frequent defence that Facebook puts up in various senate hearings attests to this. They don’t know how to control what’s coming up in your timelines. The program knows your ‘persona’ and it does what it has to do.Geographic boundaries: The nature of the digital economy is such that these monopolies don’t have geographic boundaries. The seamless nature of the platform and its monopoly on attention and data as resources ensure they can extend their monopoly anywhere in the world. How do you regulate a global monopoly? Do you take a nationalistic agenda and stop them at your boundaries? That will only mean setting up domestic monopolies. Who do you trust more? A global monopoly that adheres to the best corporate governance norms or a domestic monopoly in countries with weak institutions or that lack democratic accountability?Loss of freedom and the end of thought: The data and attention appropriation done through these platforms constrain our choices: we live in echo chamber of our opinions, we buy things that are suggested to us and we see a version of reality that’s tailor-made for us and that no one else is seeing. Often the term ‘digital colonialism’ is bandied about when talking about Big Tech. This lack of freedom to be oneself, discover things on our own and not be dispossessed of our right to choose is what colonialism is about. That we have done this voluntarily and for convenience and value that’s quite apparent is what makes this difficult to legislate.A new form of capitalism: One way to manage this kind of monopoly is to let things play out. To let evolution take care of this. There will be a period of monopolies reigning across sectors. Soon there will be overlapping of interests and territories among them. It is attention and data that are being monopolised and beyond a point, they are finite too. They will fight among themselves, get bruised and breakup in the process. Also, there will always be newer opportunities that will attract smaller, nimbler firms that will beat these incumbents. This has happened throughout history and there’s no reason to believe this time is unique. A new form of capitalism will evolve after a period of digital colonialism. It won’t be better or worse. It will just be different.What’s resistance then?It is not easy to legislate the resistance to these monopolies. The policymakers are using the tried and tested tools to counter them. They will yield some benefits in the short-term. But they will be largely ineffective for the reasons we have mentioned above. The other options like moral pressure to delete an app or the self-control to stay away from these players can’t scale up. Such measures also don’t consider the huge benefits these platforms deliver to us. The truth is technology will remain a step ahead of us. The idea that we can tame it is also a non-starter.There are proponents of ethical algorithms who believe a societal code or a legislative norm for how algorithms are to be used is the way ahead. There are others who believe handing over control or making users aware of how their data is being used and compensating them for it. This will make it a fair bargain. Maybe it will. These are early days of policymaking in this area. There’s a need for deeper philosophical and sociological work in this space that will enable our thinking in how to legislate this. Until then we think the house report is a good place to get things started.A Framework a Week: What Makes an Asset Strategic?Tools for thinking public policy— Pranay KotasthaneFrom AI to semiconductor chips and from data to rare earth metals, a whole lot of assets are labelled as being strategic by many governments and analysts. And yet, there’s no conceptual clarity as to what the term strategic means.Most often, it is narrowly used to describe assets that are critical for the military. In this definition, only goods that can be used for war or to threaten war qualify as strategic, an obvious example being nuclear technology.By another definition, assets that are critical for the economy or military and have no other easily available substitutes, qualify as strategic. For example, oil becomes a strategic asset for India using this definition.So what really is strategic then? I was lucky to stumble upon a framework which tackles this fundamental question. Jeffery Ding and Alan Dafoe in their paper The Logic of Strategic Assets: From Oil to AI theorise that:Strategic Level of Asset = Importance * Externality * NationalizationThe strategic level of an asset is a product of the following three factors:Importance: an asset’s economic and/or military utility (some sectors, e.g. freight transport, contribute more to economic growth than others, e.g. high-end fashion).Externality: the economic and/or security externalities associated with an asset, such that uncoordinated firms and individual military organizations will not optimally attend to the asset. (e.g. the positive externalities generated by research into foundational technologies, which private actors under-invest in because they do not capture all the gains from spillovers).Nationalization: the degree to which these externalities differentially accrue to the nation and one’s allies, and not to rivals (e.g. fundamental research in medicine has positive externalities, but they may easily diffuse to other rival nations, which limits an asset’s strategic level).What’s interesting here is that the authors apply the economic concept of externality to a question in the national security domain. They contend that some assets and technologies demonstrate the characteristics of an externality-like market failure. This means that uncoordinated firms and individual military organisations underproduce these strategic assets and hence the attention of the State is required.These externalities are distilled into three forms:“Cumulative-strategic logic involves assets and sectors with high barriers to entry linked to cumulative processes, such as first-mover dynamics, incumbency advantages, and economies of scale. These high barriers to entry lead the market to under-invest, and military organizations to require explicit state support to achieve nationally optimal investments. Aircraft engines [1945-present] serve as a representative example, as high research and development costs associated with these complex technical systems make it so that only a handful of firms can compete.Infrastructure-strategic logic involves assets that generate positive spillovers across the national economy or military system, which sub-national actors (e.g. firms or militarybranches) under-invest in because they do not appropriate all the associated gains. These are often central technologies that complement and upgrade the national technological system. A representative example is railroads [1840-1860].Dependency-strategic logic involves assets whose supply is concentrated in a limited number of suppliers. Due to the lack of substitutes, these assets are often vulnerable to supply disruptions… Individual firms do not fully internalize the downside of a cut-off for the nation’s economy or military, for which continued access to these dependency-strategic assets is at risk due to the lack of substitute goods and alternative suppliers. Nitrates [1914-1918] are a representative example, as the British naval blockade prevented Germany from importing nitrates from Chile, the world’s principal supplier.”These three logics are not mutually exclusive. The authors argue that states should pay especially close attention to those technologies and goods that exhibit multiple strategic logics. The figure below illustrates the overlap:(Source: Jeffery Ding and Alan Dafoe, The Logic of Strategic Assets: From Oil to AI)This framework is a really useful tool for prioritising strategic assets. Using this framework, which assets qualify as being strategic for India, you reckon?Poetry In Public Policy: Louise Gluck—RSJLousie Gluck has won the Nobel Prize for Literature (2020) for “her unmistakable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal”.“She writes oneiric, narrative poetry recalling memories and travels, only to hesitate and pause for new insights. The world is disenthralled, only to become magically present once again.”Gluck possesses a direct, natural style that shines a light on our imperfections with a detached clarity. But that doesn’t take away from the beautiful, lyrical compositions that stay with us for long. She is one of the originals.Nostos by Louise GlückThere was an apple tree in the yard --this would have beenforty years ago -- behind,only meadows. Driftsof crocus in the damp grass.I stood at that window:late April. Springflowers in the neighbor's yard.How many times, really, did the treeflower on my birthday,the exact day, notbefore, not after? Substitutionof the immutablefor the shifting, the evolving.Substitution of the imagefor relentless earth. Whatdo I know of this place,the role of the tree for decadestaken by a bonsai, voicesrising from the tennis courts --Fields. Smell of the tall grass, new cut.As one expects of a lyric poet.We look at the world once, in childhood.The rest is memory.Parable of Hostages by Louise GlückThe Greeks are sitting on the beachwondering what to do when the war ends. No onewants to go home, backto that bony island; everyone wants a little moreof what there is in Troy, morelife on the edge, that sense of every day as beingpacked with surprises. But how to explain thisto the ones at home to whomfighting a war is a plausibleexcuse for absence, whereasexploring one’s capacity for diversionis not. Well, this can be facedlater; theseare men of action, ready to leaveinsight to the women and children.Thinking things over in the hot sun, pleasedby a new strength in their forearms, which seemmore golden than they did at home, somebegin to miss their families a little,to miss their wives, to want to seeif the war has aged them. And a few growslightly uneasy: what if waris just a male version of dressing up,a game devised to avoidprofound spiritual questions? Ah,but it wasn’t only the war. The world had beguncalling them, an opera beginning with the war’sloud chords and ending with the floating aria of the sirens.There on the beach, discussing the varioustimetables for getting home, no one believedit could take ten years to get back to Ithaca;no one foresaw that decade of insoluble dilemmas—oh unanswerableaffliction of the human heart: how to dividethe world’s beauty into acceptableand unacceptable loves! On the shores of Troy,how could the Greeks knowthey were hostages already: who oncedelays the journey isalready enthralled; how could they knowthat of their small numbersome would be held forever by the dreams of pleasure,some by sleep, some by music?Matsyanyaaya: Narratives about China’s Pandemic ResponseBig fish eating small fish = Foreign Policy in action— Pranay KotasthaneNarrative 1: The Chinese party-state, which covered up the COVID-19 outbreak in the initial stages, is the world’s number 1 enemy.Narrative 2: After the initial shock, China has been remarkably successful in containing the outbreak, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.Floating around are these two distinct narratives about China's COVID-19 response. On the surface, these two narratives appear to conflict with each other. Scratch the surface and you’ll find that both narratives are actually in harmony with each other.Quite a few opinion pieces perceive these two narratives as being in conflict. Such articles explain, with awe, that even though China bungled up initially, it was able to get back on its feet quickly, curb the rise in infections, and take the lead in vaccine research. How does one explain this apparent contradiction?In my view, both these narratives are in harmony and not in conflict. I say this because the initial failures and the later 'successes', both, can be explained by the same incentive structure that characterises the Chinese authoritarian party-state.In the initial days, government officials in Wuhan were competing against each other in hiding the facts lest the heavy hand of the authoritarian regime fall on them. Local officials claimed there was no person to person transmission, medical professionals who raised alarm were silenced, and state media refused to speak a word about the disease. Even after nine months since the outbreak was first reported, the party-state continues to deflect the blame, claiming success in reporting the outbreak first on one hand, and blaming everyone else in the world for starting the pandemic on the other.These same incentives at least partially explain the later successes as well. First, the authoritarian setup was well-suited to enforce strict lockdowns for long periods at the citizens’ expense. Next, in a desperate urge to project the party in a positive light, many thousands of people were vaccinated without the completion of clinical trials. Despite a history of vaccine safety scandals, the authoritarian regime was ready to risk the lives of citizens in the hope of regaining some lost pride.By taking these dangerous shortcuts, it is quite likely that China’s vaccine candidates will be the first to reach the market. China might even come up with a global vaccine campaign and label it the medical silk road.Despite all this facesaving, if China is the first to get to the market with a vaccine (and that’s a big if), other states’ perceptions are unlikely to make a U-turn. The damage is already done. All projected successes now are like apologising after slapping an unsuspecting person for no reason.The world is increasingly coming to terms with the reality of engaging with China — there are clear short-term gains to be had but the downside risks are way too high. China’s response has shown that these downside risks are not just high but they are always lurking beneath. It will take China more than a few interest-free loans and vaccine diplomacy to make this risk perception disappear.HomeWorkReading and listening recommendations on public policy matters[Article] Emily Birnbaum and Issie Lapowsky in the Protocol on the findings and recommendations from the House antitrust subcommittee’s report on Big Tech[Interview] Nick Couldry and Ulises A.

Había un manzano en el jardín: esto debe haber sido hace cuarenta años. Detrás, sólo praderas. Ráfagas de azafrán entre los pastos húmedos. Me quedé contemplando esa ventana; era a fines de abril. Flores de primavera en el jardín del vecino. Realmente, ¿cuántas veces ese árbol dio flores en el día de mi cumpleaños, el día exacto, ni antes ni después? Sustitución de lo inmutable por lo cambiante, lo que evoluciona. Sustitución de imágenes por la tierra incesante.¿Qué sé de este lugar, del papel que cumplió este árbol tantas décadas? Lo habrán creído un bonsai, mientras llegaban voces de las canchas de tenis. El campo. Olor de pastos altos, recién cortados. Como se espera de un poeta lírico. Observamos el mundo una vez sola, en la infancia. Lo demás es recuerdo.

On episode 086 of The Quarantine Tapes, Paul Holdengräber is joined by writer Peter Kimani. With lockdowns, curfews, traffic jams, and technological deficiencies, Kimani and Holdengräber explore the many disruptive challenges the pandemic has presented in Kenya. As a journalist, Kimani describes his perspectives on the cultural mosaic of Kenya, and how the national press informs the multitudinous Kenyan society. When discussing his influences, Kimani reads the poem Nostos by Louise Gluck, a work that is one of his favorites, and Kimani reflects on the mercurial images of childhood and memory reflected in that poem. Kimani and Holdengräber then discuss the imminent Kenyan writer and educator, Ngugi wa Thiong’o, and how his nuanced narratives about cultural imperialism has impacted Kimani’s life and writing.Peter Kimani is a Kenyan journalist, poet and author of, most recently, Dance of the Jakaranda, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. He’s also the editor of Nairobi Noir, which was published early this year by Akashic Books. Kimani has taught fiction and non-fiction at Amherst College and the University of Houston. He is on the faculty of Aga Khan University in Nairobi. Footnotes Nostos by Louise Glück There was an apple tree in the yard — this would have been forty years ago — behind, only meadows. Drifts off crocus in the damp grass. I stood at that window: late April. Spring flowers in the neighbor's yard. How many times, really, did the tree flower on my birthday, the exact day, not before, not after? Substitution of the immutable for the shifting, the evolving. Substitution of the image for relentless earth. What do I know of this place, the role of the tree for decades taken by a bonsai, voices rising from tennis courts — Fields. Smell of the tall grass, new cut. As one expects of a lyric poet. We look at the world once, in childhood.

The conclusion to my biographical look into the bronze age's most famous daughter, Helen of Sparta. This time we take her story from the death of Hector through to her eventual trip home over the ashes of Troy. We see the major role Helen played in that cities climactic destruction along with the fate of the Trojan women she had spent a decade with. Finishing with her emotional return to Sparta and reunion with Hermione, the daughter who was a babe when last they were together. What would life after the war hold in store for Helen, happy home or embitterment?*New (free) members section on https://www.spartanhistorypodcast.com/ where I'll be showcasing some extra content from time to time.

How has it been being... home?  What is a home for?  Recorded on an iPhone, this is the first pod since the general lockdown, in which David reflects on what our homes are, what they welcome, what they keep out, and how we can repair the places that have worn down or grown dysfunctional over the years.  A home is a place as well as a goal, an atmosphere as well as an orientation.  What better time to reflect deeply on what our homes are and what we long for them to be.  Let's do some spring/quarantine cleaning!
