In his third appearance on The Human Voice, media theorist and science fiction author Paul Levinson shares a fascinating conversation about the timeless relevance of media ecology, technology's role in human progress, and the myths surrounding information overload. Paul reflects on his seminal 1996 article On Behalf of Humanity and its argument that the issue isn't too much information but a lack of organizational tools.   Drawing connections between historical innovations and today's AI landscape, Paul explores the concept of “remedial media”—new technologies that solve problems created by previous ones—and how it applies to challenges like algorithmic bias and deep fakes. From his collaborations with media icons Neil Postman and Marshall McLuhan to his optimistic vision for technology as a force for good, Paul offers insights that resonate across decades.   The episode wraps up with Paul's thoughts on techno-pessimism, the power of storytelling, and a fun recommendation for mystery fans: A Perfect Couple. He also highlights his recent alternate history book, Real Life: An Alternate History of The Beatles, imagining a world where John Lennon was never assassinated.   Key Topics Covered: • Information overload vs. information organization • Remedial media as a framework for technological progress • AI, digital watermarks, and the future of human-machine collaboration • Why techno-pessimism often gains more attention • Recommendations for media and books   Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that spans history, technology, and the enduring human connection to media.

Welcome to Light On Light Through, Episode 396, in which I interview Bob Hutchins about AI.  My guess is you'll find this discussion much more optimistic about AI than what you'll usually hear. Discussed or mentioned in this interview: "On Behalf of Humanity: The Technological Edge" my 1996 article The Media Ecology Association New Explorations: Studies in Culture and Communication my review of Confronting the Presidents

Our guest for this episode is Tiffany Burns. She shares with us her experiences with grief and loss, and how to continue connections with those who have died. Six years after losing her mom to brain cancer, Tiffany was still grieving and figuring out how to navigate her life. That's when she found something called River Writing, where you listen to poetry, write, and share with each other. It's not just the writing, but the sharing and connection, that make River Writing unique. Our stories may be vastly different but our points of connection are abundant. Tiffany started the On Behalf of Dean project to honour her younger brother, who passed away at the age of 27, with random acts of kindness.  Tiffany is passionate about reading, live music, hiking, and spending time with friends and family. She is also an avid scuba diver (with over 100 dives!) and a daring solo traveler.  Journalling questions shared at the end of the episode for personal exploration: In what ways do your loved ones who have died, show up for you? In what ways do you, or might you, continue your relationship with them? How much you honour their lives, by living your own life alongside them?   Tiffany Burns Instagram On Behalf of Dean Instagram Continuing Connections River Writing Drew Benson Art Join us in Mexico this November at Soul Seekers Expansion Craving change and ready to answer the call? Book a call now

Do you often feel like you are building someone else's life? You've done all the things you're supposed to do, your life looks good on paper and yet there is something off? Friends, happiness, joy, freedom and peace come from within. My guest today, Andrea Tessier discovered this truth when she started to look inward and unlearn everyone else's expectations. Andrea's journey began with feeling insecure and working to overcompensate by being wrapped up in the hustle and self sacrifice. After recognizing that she was the problem and therefore the solution, she started on her journey of re-remembering who she really was. In this episode Andrea shares her personal story and how she went from self sacrifice and insecure to being able to freely express and trust herself in every moment. Listen to discover: How we can recognize that it's time to go deeper and do the internal work Why acceptance is the KEY to personal transformation. How we own who we are. The most powerful question we can ask ourselves to begin to KNOW ourselves. How to recognize when you are in your patterns of protection and coping Why sometimes self honoring choices don't always feel good. Andrea's favorite emotional release tools and why they are so important. Why feelings are such a big component in honoring our boundaries. Why feelings are such a powerful guidance system. The difference between speaking FROM anger versus ON BEHALF of our anger. What speaking your truth actually is. We've all chased something in our lives that we believe will make us feel like we've arrived. The house, the relationship, the kids, the right friend group, the perfect body size, the right job, the right degree but even after all that chasing-I believe that many of us still feel those pangs. Those little nudges along the way that remind us- "HEY.....get back to YOU. You are enough, You are OK, You are worthy just as you are!!!" Using the practices in this episode, you can turn up the self acceptance and self expression in your life, which will help you feel aligned and free no matter your circumstances. “When we don't know what we feel, we aren't in tune with what we need.” Andrea Tessier "I had to teach myself HOW to be self expressed. For decades I shoved everything down and in." Andrea Tessier "If I'm not in my own personal truth and expression, how can I invite the other person forward to be in theirs?" Andrea Tessier "Owning who you are is a choice in every single moment"-Andrea Tessier "This idea of confusion is a myth. We are listening to so many things around us that it drowns out our knowing." -Andrea Tessier "Too often we take responsibility for other people's feelings."-Krista Resnick "Words can destroy or words can build a bridge." -Krista Resnick "We have to take ourselves out of autopilot." -Krista Resnick LINKS & RESOURCES Andrea Tessier Website Freedom Starter Kit Safe to Rise Instagram STAY CONNECTED: EMPOWERED BOUNDARIES COMMUNITY INSTAGRAM BUILD BETTER BOUNDARIES

And she's not up for a negotiation about it. As House Democratic leaders hold back Sinema's own Senate-passed bipartisan infrastructure bill in order to push the Arizona Democrat and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) to support a multitrillion-dollar spending bill, Sinema is making it crystal clear that her mind can't be changed. And that applies even as her own legislation becomes a bargaining chip in House Democrats' internal discussions. The $550 billion bipartisan infrastructure bill “is a historic win for our nation's everyday families and employers and, like every proposal, should be considered on its own merits,” said Sinema spokesperson John LaBombard. “Proceedings in the U.S. House will have no impact on Kyrsten's views about what is best for our country - including the fact that she will not support a budget reconciliation bill that costs $3.5 trillion.” It's the latest entrenched position from the first-term moderate, whose resistance to changing the Senate's filibuster rules and to supporting a $3.5 trillion spending bill is enraging progressives. Sinema and Manchin both helped pass Democrats' budget earlier this month, setting up that gargantuan spending bill, but both are resistant to a social spending package that ultimately meets its $3.5 trillion top line mark. Sinema in particular specifically opposes that spending goal, which was devised by Senate Budget Chair Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Senate Democrats need all 50 of their members, including Manchin and Sinema, to pass a filibuster-proof reconciliation spending bill. On Sunday Speaker Nancy Pelosi said her members were still pursuing a bill that costs $3.5 trillion, but are hoping to finance it in part with tax enforcement and tax increases on the wealthy and corporations. Meanwhile, moderates in Pelosi's caucus are declining to back the Senate-passed budget unless Pelosi puts Sinema's Senate-passed bipartisan infrastructure bill up for a vote on the House floor. In statement shortly after Sinema's, Manchin leaned on Pelosi and House leaders to act now on the $550 billion bipartisan infrastructure bill instead of waiting for the Senate to pass a massive spending bill. "It would send a terrible message to the American people if this bipartisan bill is held hostage. I urge my colleagues in the House to move swiftly to get this once in a generation legislation to the President's desk for his signature," Manchin said. Jake Sherman on Twitter: In closed dem meeting, @SpeakerPelosi and @RepKClark are making the case that a vote against the rule that sets up budget vote would be a vote against female priorities — and a vote against women of color. “Women are watching to see what is happening here,” Pelosi said Kyrsten Sinema is also watching, but I doubt she counts as far as Pelosi is concerned.  Jake Sherman was Reporting from the House late Monday on Twitter suggesting that there would be an attempt to pass a rule concerning the debate on the infrastructure bill that could include language that would “deem” the bipartisan bill approved.  Politics of Sex Conference Play Audio Biden Announces FDA Approval of Pfizer COVID Vaccine https://twitter.com/breaking911/status/1429872489019084802?s=21 Play Audio But Pfizer & the FDA Have Sovereign Immunity https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/16/covid-vaccine-side-effects-compensation-lawsuit.html From CNBC on December 23rd: If you experience severe side effects after getting a Covid vaccine, lawyers tell CNBC there is basically no one to blame in a U.S. court of law.  The federal government has granted companies like Pfizer and Moderna immunity from liability if something unintentionally goes wrong with their vaccines. “It is very rare for a blanket immunity law to be passed,” said Rogge Dunn, a Dallas labor and employment attorney. “Pharmaceutical companies typically aren't offered much liability protection under the law.“ You also can't sue the Food and Drug Administration for authorizing a vaccine for emergency use, nor can you hold your employer accountable if they mandate inoculation as a condition of employment. Congress created a fund specifically to help cover lost wages and out-of-pocket medical expenses for people who have been irreparably harmed by a “covered countermeasure,” such as a vaccine. But it is difficult to use and rarely pays. Attorneys say it has compensated less than 6% of the claims filed in the last decade In February, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar invoked the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act. The 2005 law empowers the HHS secretary to provide legal protection to companies making or distributing critical medical supplies, such as vaccines and treatments, unless there's “willful misconduct” by the company. The protection lasts until 2024. That means that for the next four years, these companies “cannot be sued for money damages in court” over injuries related to the administration or use of products to treat or protect against Covid.  HHS declined CNBC's request for an interview. Dunn thinks a big reason for the unprecedented protection has to do with the expedited timeline.  “When the government said, ‘We want you to develop this four or five times faster than you normally do,' most likely the manufacturers said to the government, ‘We want you, the government, to protect us from multimillion-dollar lawsuits,'” said Dunn.  The quickest vaccine ever developed was for mumps. It took four years and was licensed in 1967. Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine was developed and cleared for emergency use in eight months — a fact that has fueled public mistrust of the coronavirus inoculation in the U.S. But drugmakers like Pfizer continue to reassure the public no shortcuts were taken. “This is a vaccine that was developed without cutting corners,” CEO Dr. Albert Bourla said in an interview with CNBC's “Squawk Box” on Monday. “This is a vaccine that is getting approved by all authorities in the world. That should say something.” The legal immunity granted to pharmaceutical companies doesn't just guard them against lawsuits. Dunn said it helps lower the cost of the immunizations. “The government doesn't want people suing the companies making the Covid vaccine. Because then, the manufacturers would probably charge the government a higher price per person per dose,” Dunn explained.  Pfizer and Moderna did not return CNBC's request for comment on their legal protections. Is anyone liable? Remember, vaccine manufacturers aren't the ones approving their product for mass distribution. That is the job of the FDA. Which begs the question, can you sue the U.S. government if you have an extraordinarily bad reaction to a vaccine? Again, the answer is no.  “You can't sue the FDA for approving or disapproving a drug,” said Dorit Reiss, a professor at the University of California Hastings College of Law. “That's part of its sovereign immunity.” Sovereign immunity came from the king, explains Dunn, referring to British law before the American Revolution. “You couldn't sue the king. So, America has sovereign immunity, and even each state has sovereign immunity.” There are limited exceptions, but Dunn said he doesn't think they provide a viable legal path to hold the federal government responsible for a Covid vaccine injury.

Taliban spokesman says they have drawn a red line in the sand and more on today's CrossPolitic Daily News Brief This is Toby Sumpter. Today is Tuesday, August 24, 2021. CREC Issues Religious Exemption Statement & Sample Letter https://crechurches.org/documents/statements/PMOC-CREC_Religious-Exemption-Statement.pdf Standing in the ancient Christian tradition, committed to the doctrinal standards of our local and denominational constitutions and the supremacy of the Holy Scriptures, the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC) affirms our religion's principles of liberty of conscience, honoring and preserving human life from conception to natural death, as well as the sovereignty of individuals and families in medical and healthcare decision-making. Therefore, we state our unequivocal support for the right of refusal of mandatory medical procedures, whether ordered by a branch of civil government, an employer, or any other institution to which an individual is subject or dependent – in the event that an individual sincerely believes his or her life, health, wellbeing, or morality is potentially threatened by such procedures or products, or in the event that a parent has the same concern for his or her child. We affirm that our Christian religion protects the liberty of individuals and families to refuse any medical procedure or product on the basis of sincerely held concerns for known or unknown side effects, experimental or emergency uses, potential involvement in fetal cell lines whether in development or testing, or medical and/or political corruption or coercion. Therefore, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we defend the rights and responsibilities of our members to research these issues in consultation with their medical providers in order to make responsible medical decisions for themselves, including refusing vaccination or gene therapies on religious grounds. And we hereby call upon all governments, schools, employers, and other institutions to respect these deeply held religious convictions by upholding this religious liberty and/or providing religious exemptions as requested. On Behalf of the Communion of Reformed Evangelical Churches There's an attached sample letter that can be personalized by a pastor to be written on behalf of parishioners for schools or employers.

Infrastructure Bill Back in the House With Senators https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/23/sinema-35t-spending-bill-506583 From Politico: Kyrsten Sinema still opposes her party's plans for a $3.5 trillion, party-line spending bill. And she's not up for a negotiation about it. As House Democratic leaders hold back Sinema's own Senate-passed bipartisan infrastructure bill in order to push the Arizona Democrat and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) to support a multitrillion-dollar spending bill, Sinema is making it crystal clear that her mind can't be changed. And that applies even as her own legislation becomes a bargaining chip in House Democrats' internal discussions. The $550 billion bipartisan infrastructure bill “is a historic win for our nation's everyday families and employers and, like every proposal, should be considered on its own merits,” said Sinema spokesperson John LaBombard. “Proceedings in the U.S. House will have no impact on Kyrsten's views about what is best for our country - including the fact that she will not support a budget reconciliation bill that costs $3.5 trillion.” It's the latest entrenched position from the first-term moderate, whose resistance to changing the Senate's filibuster rules and to supporting a $3.5 trillion spending bill is enraging progressives. Sinema and Manchin both helped pass Democrats' budget earlier this month, setting up that gargantuan spending bill, but both are resistant to a social spending package that ultimately meets its $3.5 trillion top line mark. Sinema in particular specifically opposes that spending goal, which was devised by Senate Budget Chair Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). Senate Democrats need all 50 of their members, including Manchin and Sinema, to pass a filibuster-proof reconciliation spending bill. On Sunday Speaker Nancy Pelosi said her members were still pursuing a bill that costs $3.5 trillion, but are hoping to finance it in part with tax enforcement and tax increases on the wealthy and corporations. Meanwhile, moderates in Pelosi's caucus are declining to back the Senate-passed budget unless Pelosi puts Sinema's Senate-passed bipartisan infrastructure bill up for a vote on the House floor. In statement shortly after Sinema's, Manchin leaned on Pelosi and House leaders to act now on the $550 billion bipartisan infrastructure bill instead of waiting for the Senate to pass a massive spending bill. "It would send a terrible message to the American people if this bipartisan bill is held hostage. I urge my colleagues in the House to move swiftly to get this once in a generation legislation to the President's desk for his signature," Manchin said. Jake Sherman on Twitter: In closed dem meeting, @SpeakerPelosi and @RepKClark are making the case that a vote against the rule that sets up budget vote would be a vote against female priorities — and a vote against women of color. “Women are watching to see what is happening here,” Pelosi said Kyrsten Sinema is also watching, but I doubt she counts as far as Pelosi is concerned. Jake Sherman was Reporting from the House late Monday on Twitter suggesting that there would be an attempt to pass a rule concerning the debate on the infrastructure bill that could include language that would “deem” the bipartisan bill approved. Politics of Sex Conference Play Audio Biden Announces FDA Approval of Pfizer COVID Vaccine https://twitter.com/breaking911/status/1429872489019084802?s=21 Play Audio But Pfizer & the FDA Have Sovereign Immunity https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/16/covid-vaccine-side-effects-compensation-lawsuit.html From CNBC on December 23rd: If you experience severe side effects after getting a Covid vaccine, lawyers tell CNBC there is basically no one to blame in a U.S. court of law. The federal government has granted companies like Pfizer and Moderna immunity from liability if something unintentionally goes wrong with their vaccines. “It is very rare for a blanket immunity law to be passed,” said Rogge Dunn, a Dallas labor and employment attorney. “Pharmaceutical companies typically aren't offered much liability protection under the law.“ You also can't sue the Food and Drug Administration for authorizing a vaccine for emergency use, nor can you hold your employer accountable if they mandate inoculation as a condition of employment. Congress created a fund specifically to help cover lost wages and out-of-pocket medical expenses for people who have been irreparably harmed by a “covered countermeasure,” such as a vaccine. But it is difficult to use and rarely pays. Attorneys say it has compensated less than 6% of the claims filed in the last decade In February, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar invoked the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act. The 2005 law empowers the HHS secretary to provide legal protection to companies making or distributing critical medical supplies, such as vaccines and treatments, unless there's “willful misconduct” by the company. The protection lasts until 2024. That means that for the next four years, these companies “cannot be sued for money damages in court” over injuries related to the administration or use of products to treat or protect against Covid. HHS declined CNBC's request for an interview. Dunn thinks a big reason for the unprecedented protection has to do with the expedited timeline. “When the government said, ‘We want you to develop this four or five times faster than you normally do,' most likely the manufacturers said to the government, ‘We want you, the government, to protect us from multimillion-dollar lawsuits,'” said Dunn. The quickest vaccine ever developed was for mumps. It took four years and was licensed in 1967. Pfizer's Covid-19 vaccine was developed and cleared for emergency use in eight months — a fact that has fueled public mistrust of the coronavirus inoculation in the U.S. But drugmakers like Pfizer continue to reassure the public no shortcuts were taken. “This is a vaccine that was developed without cutting corners,” CEO Dr. Albert Bourla said in an interview with CNBC's “Squawk Box” on Monday. “This is a vaccine that is getting approved by all authorities in the world. That should say something.” The legal immunity granted to pharmaceutical companies doesn't just guard them against lawsuits. Dunn said it helps lower the cost of the immunizations. “The government doesn't want people suing the companies making the Covid vaccine. Because then, the manufacturers would probably charge the government a higher price per person per dose,” Dunn explained. Pfizer and Moderna did not return CNBC's request for comment on their legal protections. Remember, vaccine manufacturers aren't the ones approving their product for mass distribution. That is the job of the FDA. Which begs the question, can you sue the U.S. government if you have an extraordinarily bad reaction to a vaccine? Again, the answer is no. “You can't sue the FDA for approving or disapproving a drug,” said Dorit Reiss, a professor at the University of California Hastings College of Law. “That's part of its sovereign immunity.” Sovereign immunity came from the king, explains Dunn, referring to British law before the American Revolution. “You couldn't sue the king. So, America has sovereign immunity, and even each state has sovereign immunity.” There are limited exceptions, but Dunn said he doesn't think they provide a viable legal path to hold the federal government responsible for a Covid vaccine injury.

Leslie begins today's show with a brief monologue about people who choose to tear others down through insults. She then does her 'Ripped from the Headlines' news segment. Here are the stories that she gave her take on: 1. AXIOS: "CDC: Vaccinated teachers and students don't need to wear masks indoors" 2. AUDIO: President Biden says he will not send another generation of Americans to war in Afghanistan with no reasonable expectation to achieve a different outcome 3. AXIOS: "Biden launches 72 initiatives to boost competition in U.S. economy" 4. AXIOS: "U.S. blacklists 23 more Chinese entities over Xinjiang abuses, military ties" 5. AXIOS: "Texas legislature convenes for special session on voting rights" 6. NBC NEWS: "Harris announces $25 million DNC investment to aid voting access" For the second half of the show, Leslie is joined by Dr. Lauren A. Wright, Associate Research Scholar and Lecturer in Politics and Public Affairs at Princeton University, where she teaches courses on The Presidency and Executive Power, Women and Politics, and Political Communication. Wright is the author of "Star Power: American Democracy in the Age of the Celebrity Candidate" and "On Behalf of the President: Presidential Spouses and White House Communications Strategy Today." Leslie and Dr. Wright talk about celebrities who run for office like former President Donald J. Trump, former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and current California Republican Gubernatorial candidate Caitlyn Jenner. They also discuss how being a celebrity can be a huge advantage when running for office, but a huge disadvantage when trying to effectively govern (if the celebrity has no prior political experience). Additionally, Dr. Wright explains how and why celebrity candidates are covered differently than traditional politicians by news organizations, and why this is such a big deal.

I have been travelling about in my car recently and listening to the radio hoping to hear a decent record....but all we get is meaningless songs with repetitive lyrics with a mess in the background consisting of someone building a shed.....let me hear DRUMS giving us a solid beat we can tap or feet to!!!......however through the despair I was just about to switch off when on comes the latest single by Michael Ball....I'm not a fan of his but the record was the best song and production I have heard for years...I think it was called "It will always be you" and is brilliant.....so there is hope.....could this be the start of good music making a comeback? And speaking of great songs this is one I wrote back in the day for comedian Tom Pepper.....it is purely none P.C. but did very well at the time.....it describes how lucky women are to have us.....a chap in America has put a lot of my stuff on line so I have created an album of similar material of mine and called it "No Taste Required" and can be found on Amazon and Spotify etc....definitely not for the faint hearted or easily offended....so here is one of the tracks...."On Behalf of The Lads"

Bronze hand used in the worship of Sabazius. Roman, 1st-2nd century AD Sabazius, a god of Thracian or Anatolian origin, became popular in the Roman Empire, and had connections both with Jupiter and Dionysos. Hands decorated with religious symbols were designed to stand in sanctuaries or, like this one, were attached to poles for processional use. British Museum Cat. Bronzes 876Mudras are symbolic powerful gestures expressed through the human body. As Hinduism is of the opinion that what is in Microcosm is in the Microcosm,the expressions of the body help in Realizing the Self. This is used as an Art form as well. Various system of Dancing Bharata Natya,Kathakali,Odissi and other forms in India follow the Mudras to express emotions. Indian life is permeated with Spiritual life in daily activites,right from wKing up to going bed. So, it is not surprising that art forms use Mudras,essentially a spiritual practice are used in Dance. There are 108 Mudras. Mudras are expressed through fingers as well and this is used in performing Mantras Essentially Mudras signify the The Unity of Reality and the individual Self. In Tantra Shastra these Mudras are used extensively in Tantra practices. There are Mudras specifically linked Mudras to a God. Thus we have Shiva,Sakthi Mudras. Also we have the Union Mudra,that indicates the Union of Brahman the Macro Reality with Atman, the Micro Reality. I shall be writing on Mudras in detail. It is found that the ancient Romans and Greeks were using the Mudras. Much later, the Byzantine Greek encyclopedia, Suda (10th century?), flatly states “Sabazios… is the same as Dionysos. He acquired this form of address from the rite pertaining to him; for the barbarians call the bacchic cry ‘sabazein'. Hence some of the Greeks too follow suit and call the cry ‘sabasmos'; thereby Dionysos [becomes] Sabazios. They also used to call ‘saboi' those places that had been dedicated to him and his Bacchantes… Demosthenes [in the speech] ‘On Behalf of Ktesiphon' [mentions them]. Some say that Saboi is the term for those who are dedicated to Sabazios, that is to Dionysos, just as those [dedicated] to Bakkhos [are] Bakkhoi. They say that Sabazios and Dionysos are the same. Thus some also say that the Greeks call the Bakkhoi Saboi.” ‘ The ecstatic Eastern rites practiced largely by women in Athens were thrown together for rhetorical purposes by Demosthenes in undermining his opponent Aeschines for participating in his mother's cultic associations: “On attaining manhood you abetted your mother in her initiations and the other rituals, and read aloud from the cultic writings …You rubbed the fat-cheeked snakes and swung them above your head, crying Euoi saboi and hues attes, attes hues https://ramanisblog.in/2017/03/01/yoga-mudras-in-ancient-rome-greece/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ramanispodcast/message

What’s up, Lionesses? We’re back with another episode of, “On Behalf of All Women.” Dawn and Natasha want the world to know that women-founded startups are real, our businesses are making money and we need you to help us turn our zebra companies into unicorns. In this episode, our co-founders don’t hold back when it comes to talking venture capital. Natasha says startup investment is high-stakes gambling and VC’s are picking who gets to play. “Women are feeling this and people of color are feeling this,” Dawn says. “There’s this big game going on and you’re just being told, ‘Hey, you can’t play.’ You’re not even being picked last for the dodgeball game. You’re just not being picked.” Their unfiltered conversation delves into training your brain for wealth, VC firms needing to diversify deal flow and the incredible rise and fall of unicorn Theranos. Plus, can startups get too big? Why super companies that keep acquiring startups may not be the best thing for the innovation sector. Want to hear our thoughts on a particular topic? Send an e-mail with your topics to info@thelionessgroup.com with the subject line, “On Behalf of All Women.” Here are some notable highlights: (10:20) Venture capital is high stakes gambling and VCs are picking and choosing who gets to play. (16:20) Real zebra companies generating revenue versus unicorn startups who have generated zero dollars. (20:53) Women rock it better than men when our startups are venture-backed. (27:18) A wealth mindset starts at home. What unsaid things did you learn from your parents about money? (46:00) Understanding that your product/service is NOT for everyone. Embrace demographics. (50:14) Can companies get too big? What happens when companies like Facebook and Amazon become super companies? (56:00) Can leading your startup for many years cause it to sink? Dawn and Natasha look at an interesting argument. — “Episode 3” from On Behalf of All Women by Lioness Magazine.

“What does feminism mean to you?” We are living in a remarkable time for women, but has the word feminism lost its original message? Natasha and Dawn talk to actor, producer, and philanthropist Yvonne Huff Lee about feminism, being an entrepreneur and a mother, the power of women storytellers and why more women need to be the architects of their lives. Yvonne has been taking the entertainment industry by storm with her film financing company The Lagralane Group. Last year alone, Lagralane was honored to be a part of seven feature films which premiered at Sundance in January including “Bisbee ’17,” “Dark Money,” “Investing Tomorrow,” “306 Hollywood” and “Won’t You Be My Neighbor” which also screened at SXSW. In addition to their festival triumphs, the team’s project “Icarus” took home the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. This is the perfect conversation to kick-off the new year. Tune into this warm and fresh discussion as the trio celebrate womanhood and its complexities (yep — they also talk menstrual cramps, chivalry and being comfortable with not offering second chances), and the importance of pushing the female narrative. Here are some notable highlights: We ask what does feminism mean to you, being an entrepreneur and a mother, the power of having women storytellers (2:50) Yvonne on motherhood and entrepreneurship. (17:00) Everybody talks about finding your tribe, but recognizing when someone is not in your tribe, or not “your people” is even more important, so you don’t waste your time and energy. (23:18) Has feminism gotten a bad wrap and what does feminism mean to you? (33:10) Who are women who are pushing the female narrative and why is it important? (36:50) How shows like Ozark are brilliantly using women in front of and behind the cameras to develop well-rounded female characters. (44:32) The power of young girls seeing women who look like them on television. (47:06) In 2018, gatekeepers no longer have the power that they used to.

Med anledning av att USA denna helg byter presidentpar, ska vi, nu när 2017 års säsong av Stil sätter igång, syna landets nya First Lady i sömmarna, Melania Trump. Kommer hon att använda sig av mode som ett kommunikationsmedel, som Michelle Obama gjort? Vilka designer kommer att klä den nya presidenthustrun? Vill de ens ha med henne att göra? Tveksamt, skulle man kunna säga.Under valkampanjen dök inte ett enda designernamn upp vid Melanias framträdanden, de få hon gjorde. Och ännu färre blev de efter republikanernas konvent i juli förra året. Det var då som Melania Trump höll ett tal som var påfallande likt ett åtta år gammalt tal av Michelle Obama. Uppståndelsen blev stor, förlöjligandena många.Men redan innan dess skickade inte modemärken upphetsat ut pressreleaser om att Melania valt att bära just deras plagg, oavsett hur väl hon än bar upp dem. Men så vet modebranschen inte riktigt vet vilket ben den ska stå på i den delikata frågan hur ska man förhålla sig till den kontroversielle Donald Trumps fru?I programmet tar vi även en närmare titt på Trump Tower den 58 våningar höga skyskrapa som Donald, tillsammans med sin dåvarande fru Ivana, drömde fram  och inredde  i början av 1980-talet. Vi pratar också med statsvetaren och Vita Huset-experten Dr. Lauren A Wright, aktuell med boken On Behalf of the President, som är den första akademiska undersökningen av vilken betydelse presidentens partner egentligen har för amerikansk politik. Och så undersöker vi vilken betydelse språket vi använder har för hur vi uppfattas av omgivningen.Veckans gäst är Sara Danius, ständig sekreterare i Svenska Akademien och professor i litteraturvetenskap.

Kathryn interviews communication security expert Shaun Murphy about security safeguards. When guests check into a hotel, the first thing the front desk requests is a credit card for the room. Before just grabbing any card out of their wallets guests may want to think twice. Major hotel chains have been hacked and lost massive amounts of financial and personal data on guests. Murphy has dedicated his life to developing technology solutions for the average consumer. Kathryn also interviews White House Transition Project Board Member Lauren A. Wright PhD, author of “On Behalf of the President: Presidential Spouses and White House Communications Strategy Today”. Dr. Wright documents the growing presence of the presidents' wives in the communications strategies of the Clinton, Bush, and Obama Administrations and explores how the first lady serves to persuade public opinion, make personal appeals to the public, and promote initiatives that support administration policies.

Birgitta Tollans exklusiva möte med den legendariska röstkonstnären, kompositören, filmskaparen och dansaren Meredith Monk i hennes hem och "loft" på femte våningen i stadsdelen Tribeca i New York. Meredith Monk fyllde 73 år 2015, samma år som hon firade 50 år som artist i musikens tjänst. Hon är en av USAs nu levande främsta kompositörer/exekutörer. En levande legend.- Jag föddes i New York, men jag tycker att min musik är ett slags motgift mot New York. Min musik är för det mesta pastoral. Själva staden har inte inspirerat mitt klangliga uttryck.-Rösten är ett instrument. Det upptäckte jag i mitten av 60-talet. Numera ser jag instrumenten som röster. Till klassiska musiker som inte alltid förstår mina noter och partitur säger jag What you see is not what you get in my music. Noterna visar inte allt det som min musik är. Trots detta upplever jag att min grundläggande identitet är kompositörens, säger Meredith Monk. Meredith Monk har under 50 år arbetat med dans och en mängd etniska sånguttryck från hela världen. Över 100 filmer, operor, baletter och skivor har hon skapat genom åren. Några av de främsta heter Book of Days, Dolmen Music, mercy, impermanence, ATLAS, Stringsongs med Kronoskvartetten, Do You Be och Songs of Ascension.Meredith Monk har kallats "Röstens magiker" och säger själv att hon "arbetar mellan sprickorna, där rösten börjar dansa och kroppen börjar sjunga, där teater blir film."För Monk är rösten ett språk i sig, en gränslös värld att upptäcka. Hon sjunger sina egna ord för att slippa vara tvåspråkig.-Min musik är som poesi och rösten är hjärtat sätt att kommunicera", säger Meredith Monk.Meredith Monk berättar i programmet om hur hennes sångröst besjälats och fördjupats sedan hon blivit äldre. Nu gör hon en tidsresa in i sitt eget material, ger ut ny CD och samarbetar med Kronoskvartetten och dirigenten för San Franciscos symfoniorkester, Michael Tilson Thomas.I Meredith Monks senaste CD, Songs of Ascension, Uppstigandets sånger handlar det om rörelser, förflyttningar I rummet, i landskapet. Hon förundras över hur de flesta religioner dyrkar en "högre" makt, inte en "lägre", som moder jord, t ex. Himlen är där uppe och helvetet är där nere. Upp och ner har dock ingen betydelse för Meredith Monk, som anser att allting är heligt, t o m den kopp kaffe hon dricker vid intervjun.Meredith Monks senaste komposition har titeln WEAVE for Two Voices, Chamber Orchestra and Chorus och hade världspremiär 2010 med St. Louis symfoniorkester. 2011 utnämndes Meredith Monk av public service-radion I USA till en av de främsta 50 rösterna någonsin.On Behalf of Nature, uruppförd i Los Angeles 2013, är en helaftonsföreställning en poetisk meditation över vår globala miljö och klimatet. Här frammanar Meredith Monk den buddhistiska idéen om att olika sfärer samverkar; den mänskliga, den andliga och naturen. Hon har samarbetat med sin Vokalensemble under många, många år.Låtlista: I Love New York             MadonnaSpår 5Confessions on a Dance Floor ShiftMeredith MonkSpår 5Meredith Monk.
