Canada has been pushing forward legislation, getting around any elected officials and raising serious surveillance concerns. That's just scratching the surface! With the Emergency Planning Act sections 18 and 18.1 in Canada, the government already has the ability to kidnap you, destroy your property, seize your property, muzzle your speech and even KILL you! With the United Nations Pact For The Future signed on by 193 countries in September, they can shut down your bank account if you criticize the state or the narrative. They can force you into a carbon credit or social credit system. They can force you onto food rations, likely poisonous. Trump just approved 500 billion dollars for AI which will replace jobs. But of course Elon Musk has come forward to tell you not to worry. Even though he claims AI will destroy humanity and he's one of the main people developing it, he says you can always go on Guaranteed Basic Income. Also, he says you should have a carbon tax. Trump is also pushing biometrics for migrants and internet IDs under the guise of "safety." The "Mainstream Alternative Media" is silent on this. Bill Gates continues to roll out Digital IDs in Australia and Sierra Leone. Google has withdrawn its promise to never use AI for weapons or surveillance. The UK is bringing in more bank spying systems under Starmer. Facial recognition with social credit scores is being rolled out in countless neighborhoods including in Oxford UK as part of the 15 Minute City project, modeled after China. This is happening worldwide. They want you dependent on rations as they destroy the food supply and grid, forced into a digital technocracy and forced on a CBDC with social credit scores. Meanwhile, they're releasing nano-tech, utilizing 5G to both make us sick and control us, body and mind. Are you ready for what comes next? Stay tuned for more from WAM!

Send us a textDr. Nikolay Kukushkin, Ph.D. ( https://www.nikolaykukushkin.com/ ) is Clinical Associate Professor of Life Science and a research fellow at the Center for Neural Science, at NYU ( https://liberalstudies.nyu.edu/about/faculty-listing/nikolay-kukushkin.html ).  Dr. Kukushkin studies the molecular and cellular mechanisms of memory formation and his research has been exploring that memory is not just confined to neuronal circuits, but rather exists in all types of cells in humans and other organisms, relying on a conserved set of molecular tools.Working at the convergence of neuroscience, molecular biology, evolution, and philosophy, Dr. Kukushkin's core research program currently deals with the role of time patterns in memory formation and how these time patterns of experience determine which memories are formed, and which ones are forgotten.Prior to joining NYU, Dr. Kukushkin held a post-doctoral appointment at Harvard Medical School, Department of Cell Biology. He was also a fellow of the Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation for his work on the temporal aspects of protein degradation and its role in cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and cognitive disability.Dr. Kukushkin's academic work has been published in Nature Communications, Nature Medicine, Neuron, and PNAS among others. Dr. Kukushkin is also the author of a bestselling, award-winning book “One Hand Clapping: The Origin Story of The Human Mind” (Alpina Non-Fiction, Moscow, 2020), which deals with the origins of human consciousness. The book will be published in English in 2025 by Prometheus (US) and Swift Press (UK and worldwide).  The book won the most prestigious book prize for Russian nonfiction, the Enlightener (Prosvetitel) Award, as well as the Alexander Belyaev Medal, awarded to the best Russian-language nonfiction and science fiction.Dr. Kukushkin holds a D. Phil. in Biochemistry from the University of Oxford (UK) and a B.

In this first episode of the CEPS Tech Podcast series on “the Future of Work and AI” we are discussing the hopes and fears in the labour market, the impact of AI on jobs and employment, and the changing task content and skills required in jobs of the future. Additionally, we examine historical perspectives on technological change and the importance of policy in shaping the future of work. The conversation highlights the need for interdisciplinary collaboration, monitoring of psychosocial risks, and shaping the reward function of society to create a better future of work. Our host Tom Parker is joined by co-host Laura Nurski, Associate Research Fellow and Head of Programme on Future of Work at CEPS. Joining them both to help unpick this topic are two leading experts on the Future of Work and AI. Carl Frey, Dieter Schwarz Associate Professor of AI & Work at the Oxford Internet Institute and a Fellow of Mansfield College, University of Oxford (UK). He is also Director of the Future of Work Programme and Oxford Martin Citi Fellow at the Oxford Martin School. Nicky Dries is a Professor of Organisational Behaviour at the Department of Work & Organisation Studies at KU Leuven (Belgium) and at the Department of Leadership & Organisational Behaviour at BI Norwegian Business School (Norway). In Leuven, she runs the Future of Work Lab within the Faculty of Economics, that studies social imaginaries for the future. This episode is part of the CEPS activities under the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) which brings together OECD members and GPAI countries to advance an ambitious agenda for implementing human-centric, safe, secure and trustworthy AI.

Oxford, United Kingdom, July 16, 2024: Discourse by Satguru Mata Sudiksha Ji Maharaj

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Vivien Sieber, author of the book Kino and Kinder: A Family's Journey in the Shadow of the Holocaust.  Dr Vivien Sieber is a biologist. After ten years of biomedical research, she began lecturing in Genetics before her interests moved into academic development, learning technology and information literacy. She worked at several UK universities and has published around 100 academic papers. She lives in Oxford UK and wrote Kino and Kinder since retirement and is learning to make pottery. In my book review, I stated Kino and Kinder is the story of Paula Ticho and her family, and it focuses on life around WWI until Paula's death decades after WWII. Paula, a co-owner with her sister of a theater in Vienna, enjoyed great success until the Nazi takeover. We see her get her son to safety and beg her family to leave, before eventually fleeing to England. Penniless, Paula works as a matron to a hostel for Jewish girls who have fled the Nazis. What was supposed to be a temporary shelter for girls, turned into an orphanage spanning several years. Sieber uses letters from these girls, extensive research, and her grandmother's memories to create a story that helps others understand the atrocities of the Holocaust - and how this period of time negatively impacted Jewish people even if they were fortunate enough to escape a work or death camp. ​This family memoir is a must-read.

Carole and Sally sit down with Oxford painter, printmaker and sculptor Emmett Casley. The focus? Can artists actually make a living from their art? Find out on this episode of Art Musings.   ABOUT EMMETT CASLEY: "I'm an artist/painter/printmaker/sculptor working in Oxford. Initially trained in three dimensional design, I have worked within graphic & software design/illustration, then moved into exterior & landscape design over the last decade. In 2022 I completed a Masters in Fine Art at Oxford Brookes, which has had a significant impact on my work. I am a carpenter/project manager for a garden studio business but more recently I balance my work as an artist with art technician/art handling work for galleries and museums. “My work has come about whilst considering our changing relationship with the environment and those we share it with. Strong ties to a place that I feel somehow removed from, detached from the culture, knowledge and experiences of previous generations. A ‘home' I cannot settle in. Industrial landscapes reframed as beauty spots & holiday resorts, less for the indigenous, more for those visiting. I am trying to process the changes to this way of life, displaced by globalisation and free trade, and the impact that has on an identity of a people and their sense of belonging. Old skills and habits no longer passed on first hand, folklore attaining mythical status as we struggle to retain our heritage and identity.” Instagram: Emmett_Casley -- Join us!  Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, or listen directly from our website www.artmusings.co.uk.

I became a full-time artist at the start of 2020, following nearly two decades in journalism and communications. I work chiefly in linocut, creating unique, limited-edition prints. I'm inspired by nature, but also by the urban environment, and my work is printed by hand in my studio at the bottom of my garden. I enjoy the bold look of single-colour linocuts, but also the challenge and effect of multi-colour, multi-block prints, even if I end up with a fresh batch of grey hairs with each one I tackle! About Carole Theriault https://www.carole.wtf https://www.instagram.com/caroletheriaultartist I'm a watercolour and ink artist based in Oxford UK. I sketch and paint daily, aiming to create bold and loose yet defined - think abstract realism. My subject matter is wide: people, landscapes, city scenes, animals, skies and illustrations. Often, there's a storyline for the viewer to ponder. I am fascinated by all manner of relationships. I use a variety of high-end archival paper and professional paints. Original works vary in size, from A6 (postcard) to A1 (poster size). Prints and originals are available for sale upon request (see website). In 2023, I was invited to become a member of the Oxford Art Society (OAS). Outside of my art life, I host and produce podcasts.

There are several Cochrane Reviews of methods to ensure that blood transfusions are used effectively and efficiently, and that donated blood remains available for use in emergency situations. One of the first of these reviews looked at the evidence on a technique called cell salvage. It was first published in October 2003 and the fourth update appeared in September 2023. We asked new lead author, Louise Geneen from NHS Blood and Transplant based in Oxford UK, to tell us more about the technique and the latest findings of the review.

This presentation will focus on the migration of Kazakhs, Uyghurs, Russians and some other ethnic groups from Xinjiang province of China to Soviet Kazakhstan in the 1950-60s. Discussion of the migration based on analysis of the Soviet archival materials as well as oral histories of migrants will be put into the context of the Great Game paradigm, that is a struggle of great powers for domination in Central Asia. Besides the historical background of the migration, we will examine the main factors of the migration. repatriation of Soviet citizens from Xinjiang and Manchuria and settling them in the ‘virgin lands' of Kazakhstan. Main stages of the mass migration, its ‘push' and ‘pull' factors, adaptation of migrants to Soviet environment and their involvement in the Sino-Soviet ideological war in the 1970-1980s, emergence of the ‘Chinese' segments among the ethnic communities of Kazakhstan and other Central Asian republics will be other issues to be discussed.

Dan Steel joins Andy and Thomas to discuss church planting. Dan is a pastor based in Oxford (UK), but with a background in church planting. They talk about why church plants fail, and what failure means. With that in mind, what is a successful church plant? Why do we see church plants as a "restaurant" rather than a "family meal"? Thomas and Andy talk about their own experiences of ministry, too - and how difficult it can be to express times of challenge. Dan references his paper in this episode.

A very long episode out in the field! Annie Kelly headed to Oxford (UK) to attend a protest against "15 Minute Cities" and figure out how boring city planning issues became a fresh vehicle for the so-called "freedom movement" and its wide collection of attached conspiracy theories. These include fears of "climate lockdowns", a New World Order government instituted by Klaus Schwab and the WEF, Adrenochrome, Aliens, bug eating, "Britcoin" as a control mechanism, and much, much more.

Michelle Kang serves as the Chief Executive Officer for the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC), a global association advocating for high quality early learning for all children. Prior to becoming CEO, Michelle served as NAEYC's inaugural Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer, in which she oversaw the strategy and daily operations for Membership, Early Learning Program Accreditation, Publications, Conference, Market Solutions and Global Engagement. During her tenure, the organization dramatically pivoted to serve the field through the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, including successfully conducting virtual conferences serving thousands of educators, the first-ever Symposium on Developmentally Appropriate Practice and a virtual Professional Learning Institute that delivered more than 235,000 certificates of professional development. She has guided the substantial system adjustments necessary to support child care and preschools attaining and maintaining accreditation through the pandemic and shepherded the development and launch of the fourth edition of NAEYC's Developmentally Appropriate Practice book, a critical text used widely as the basis for quality early learning. Prior to joining NAEYC, she served in leadership roles at Bright Horizons, an international provider of early education, most recently as Vice President of Strategic Initiatives and Operational Strategy. Her 16-year tenure at Bright Horizons included building partnerships with leading global employers to develop and implement dependent care supports–child care, back-up care, and educational advising services. In building these partnerships, she gained a deep appreciation for the life-changing work that early educators do every day. Drawing on her experiences as the daughter of Korean immigrants, Michelle is committed to creating belonging within organizations and developing inclusive leadership and mentoring opportunities. Also an ardent supporter of higher education student development, Michelle has served as a Resident Tutor and Scholar at Harvard University and as a member of the Student Engagement and Leadership Advisory Board for The College of William & Mary.

He also discusses the challenges he faces today, having raised a seed round earlier this year.Federico also recommends a book every founder should read as well as a series that sheds unusual insight into the life of a start-up. Exogene is based in Oxford UK and supported by the Oxford BioEscalator.

Wir haben ja in der letzten gemeinsamen Folge zum Thema Selbstliebe versprochen, dass es noch eine Folge zum Thema Vergleich geben wird, weil beides einfach zu Umfangreich für eine Folge ist. Und daher heute: Thema Vergleichen mit anderen. Wir gehen auf die Theorie des sozialen Vergleichens ein, warum wir vergleichen, welche Folgen das für unsere mentale Gesundheit hat, warum es uns so schwer fällt damit aufzuhören und was du tun kannst, um daran zu arbeiten! Wir Menschen beurteilen uns selbst und andere ständig in allen möglichen Bereichen. Und vielleicht kennst du das…. In Bezug auf unsere Attraktivität, Vermögen, Intelligenz und Erfolg. Einigen Studien zufolge sind sogar bis zu 10 Prozent unserer Gedanken mit irgendeinem Vergleich verbunden.

Can children really have acupuncture? I'm Rebecca Avern, a paediatric acupuncturist at http://www.rebeccaavern.com/ (The Panda Clinic) and http://www.thelittleacupunctureroom.com/ (The Little Acupuncture Room) in Oxford UK.  When I tell people what I do for a living, a common response is – can children really have acupuncture?  The simple answer to that question is a resounding ‘yes'. And I'm going to explain to you why. Firstly, acupuncture is a lot more than purely needles. It includes many other, non-insertive techniques that are both gentle and effective, and that are often used with children. These involve medical massage (specifically a system called paediatric tui na) and techniques that involve using small tools to gently stroke and tap the acupuncture channels. There are also some really useful modern innovations which are often used with children, such as small seeds which can be stuck on acupuncture points and low-level laser pens which can be used as an alternative to needles. Despite what you might think, when approached in the right way the majority of children are actually OK with having acupuncture needles! The needles we use even finer than those used on adults – they may be just .12mm thick. A skilled paediatric practitioner will have developed a child-friendly needle technique which means that the child will barely feel the needle. Also, and crucially important, when working with children, the needles are never retained so there is no need for an energetic three year old to have to stay still!  A good paediatric acupuncturist will make a decision with each individual child as to which of the many tools they have available is most suitable and, crucially, which will be best-tolerated by that child.  They will understand the importance of a child feeling good about their acupuncture treatments. Rapport is everything in medicine, but even more so when it comes to children. The acupuncturist will prioritise building a therapeutic relationship with the child, ensuring they feel safe and relaxed.  So, hopefully, you can now understand that acupuncture is actually more than possible with children, and that there are many gentle, non-needle techniques that are used. Most kids actually really enjoy their treatments! I would like to add one more point which is not directly answering our original question but which is nevertheless hugely important. Acupuncture is effective in the treatment of many, many childhood conditions, both physical, mental and emotional. There is an ever-increasing body of research which highlight its benefits in a diverse range of conditions, from bedwetting, to ADHD, to colic, to cerebral palsy to name but a few.  Finally, when looking for a practitioner, do find one who has some specialist training in paediatrics.  https://everyday-acupuncture.captivate.fm/teaforme (ECO-CHA ) Mentioned in this episode: https://everyday-acupuncture.captivate.fm/teaforme (ECO-CHA )

Our existential risk – the probability that we could wipe ourselves out due to AI, bio-engineering, nuclear war, climate change, etc. in the next 100 years – currently sits at 1 in 6. Let that sink in! Would you get on a plane if there was a 17% chance it would crash? Would you do everything you could to prevent a calamity if you were presented with those odds? My chat today covers a wild idea that could – and should - better our chances of existing as a species…and lead to a human flourishing I struggle to even imagine. Long Termism argues that prioritisng the long term future of humanity has exponential ethical and existential boons. Flipside, if we don't choose the long termist route, the repercussions are, well, devastating.Will MacAskill is one of the world's leading moral philosophers and I travel to Oxford UK, where he runs the Global Centre of Effective Altruism, the Global Priorities Institute and the Forethought Foundation, to talk through these massive moral issues. Will also explains that right now is the most important time in humanity's history. Our generation singularly has the power and responsibility to determine two diametrically different paths for humanity. This excites me; I hope it does you, too.Learn more about Will MacAskill's work Purchase his new book What We Owe the Future: A million year view If you need to know a bit more about me… head to my "about" page.

Heatwaves are silent killers, and the death toll is often recognised only months after the official figures emerge. If heatwaves were named as storms to highlight the risk they pose, the dangers would be more widely recognised. Indeed, one in Europe in 2017 got more attention when it was nicknamed Lucifer, which kills many more people each year in the UK than in any storm. Heat exposure has also been linked with an increased risk of death or disability among children, older adults, people with chronic medical conditions and those who are obese. The heatwave that swept through Europe in the summer of 2003 caused an excess of deaths over the normal seasonal average. Extreme heat exposure can be dangerous for those already vulnerable to the heat, such as the elderly or those living in poorly ventilated buildings. In addition, excessive heat exposure is linked to increased crime rates, domestic violence incidents, and increased instances of road traffic accidents. In the UK, for example, one in six deaths is attributable to extreme heat. With temperatures in the United Kingdom breaking records this month, what is the impact of heat waves on your health? Because higher temperatures can pose additional challenges for individuals with Physical and Mental Health conditions. Roughly 1,000 to 3,000 people die every year as a result of heat. Stress-related conditions that are increased by heat waves are known as psychosocial stressors. These include the subjective experience of a perceived threat from hot weather and the social impact of staying outside during these conditions. The public health implications can be demonstrated by the fact that these psychosocial stressors often result in higher rates of anxiety, depression, aggression, addiction and suicide during extreme heat. Are heatwaves a consideration for your mental health? “In recent years, there's been an increasingly large body of research showing us that heatwaves exacerbate outcomes for those with underlying psychiatric illnesses,” says Dr Laurence Wainwright, (University of Oxford UK). Rates of suicides go up, and for those with existing conditions, symptoms can be intensified” he adds, noting that for people with conditions such as bipolar disorder, extreme heat can trigger manic phases. Prof Tahseen Jafry, Glasgow Caledonian University, said: “With increased temperature rises, there is evidence to show that there are more frequent visits to hospitals for mental health, mental illnesses and behavioural and mood disorders.” A study published in 2007 found a 3.8% increase in suicide rates for every 1C rise in average temperature above 18C. Researchers also found that higher temperatures are associated with increased aggression and violence – possibly due to the impact on various hormones – and can affect cognitive function, leaving people feeling fuzzy-headed. In Australia, where suicide rates were found to be higher on days when temperatures reached above 20 °C (68 °F).

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Fiction Writing Retreat: Ink in the Abbey, published by atb on May 24, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I'm running a retreat for writers of EA fiction. Why? Because fiction can communicate ideas and inspire action, and yet EA fiction is surprisingly scarce. So I want to give aspiring writers of EA fiction an opportunity to do two things. First, to hone their craft. Second, to reflect on the role that writing plays in their lives and in their attempts to make the world better. I hope that some people will emerge from this retreat with a desire to write more and the skills to do so. Participants will spend six days in a beautiful old building near Oxford (UK) writing, engaging in peer feedback, and receiving mentorship from a professional (though this final element of things is yet to be arranged). The retreat will take place from September 15th to September 20th. The event will be free for participants, and travel, food and accommodation will be paid for. If you might be interested in coming along then read on. If you're interested but feel like an imposter in some way then please read on anyway; I would love to receive your application. What (Is EA Fiction)? I don't like the phrase "EA fiction", even if I find myself using it as a shorthand. I think this phrase lends itself to three misreadings. Misreading 1 (Identity). I don't care whether a piece of fiction is written by someone who identifies as an effective altruist. What I want to see more of is not fiction written by members of a particular social movement but rather fiction that explores certain ideas. Misreading 2 (Endorsement). Nor is my interest restricted to writing that endorses "standard" EA views. Indeed, I myself reject some views that are popular in EA, and I feel uncertain about others. What I care about is sincere and thoughtful engagement with EA themes, which can involve criticism as much as endorsement. Misreading 3 (Subject Matter). Finally, I'm not interested only in fiction that explicitly explores EA themes. I think that fiction is often at its most honest and engaging when plot or character comes first and theme emerges organically from these and from the writer's viewpoint on the world. So what do I mean by EA fiction? I mean fiction that is influenced, perhaps explicitly or perhaps subtly, by a sincere and thoughtful engagement with at least one of: The notions of altruism and compassion; The idea that reason and evidence can play a role in altruistic action; or Any of the more specific views that are oft discussed in EA circles. That might seem irritatingly vague, but I prefer to be vague rather than discourage people from thinking outside whatever box I draw. Basically, if you feel uncertain about whether I'd consider something to be EA fiction then err on the side of assuming I would. Who (Should Apply)? You. Well, maybe not, I guess, if you've only read this far out of curiosity and actually have no interest in writing. But if you write, or think you'd like to start writing, then why not apply? You don't have to be a professional, or have publications, or have been writing for years, or consider yourself an EA, or have an extensive portfolio, or. As long as you can pull together a 3000 word writing sample by the deadline, then we'd love to have you apply (you'll also need to be over 18 for the entirety of the retreat, I'm afraid, and your writing will need to be in English). (The 3000 words assumes you're writing prose. If you're writing poetry, or comics, or plays, or whatever else then there's no strict guidelines; just feel free to make your best guess about what would be a reasonable equivalent, or drop me a message if you want to clarify a specific case.) As above, people who would like to apply but feel like an imposter are especially encouraged to apply! What (Will The Ret...

The Cu-Au porphyries in British Columbia, Canada vary in setting, size, age and grade, and occur in a region with a complex tectonic history. This episode is about these systems and the key factors in their origin which also guide modern exploration. Our guests are also all authors in the recent CIM volume on porphyry deposits of the northwestern Cordillera.Mitch Mihalynuk (DEEP TIME Research Group, Oxford UK and British Columbia Geological Survey) introduces the episode by discussing the complicated tectonic setting of the northwestern Cordillera, specifically the well-mineralized Quesnel and Stikine terranes.From this introduction we learn about the southern Quesnel terrane from consulting geologist Joanna Lipske, with a focus on the New Afton deposit from the setting to the  ‘rediscovery story' to exploration. Joanna touches on the importance of many exploration techniques for porphyry deposits in southern BC and why there is no "silver bullet" exploration technique.Lastly, Gayle Febbo (Kingfisher Metals Corp.) takes us through some large porphyry deposits of the Golden Triangle in the northern Stikine terrane, discussing the importance of structure and magmatic affinity in the deposits of the KSM district.Theme music is Confluence by Eastwindseastwindsmusic.com

Gallery director Sarah Wiseman visits the painter Sarah Spackman at her studio, in the weeks leading up to her solo exhibition ‘Drawing in Colour,' launching on 11th September 2021. Listen in as the two Sarahs discuss their lengthy working relationship, Sarah Spackman's early career and art school experience, her daily routine as a professional artist and the meditative power of still-life painting. Sarah Spackman's strength of drawing and the delicate and subtle use of colour are two of the main qualities recognised in her work. She applies the guiding principle that good drawing is the basis of good painting and that colour should be used to enhance the organisation and definition of observed space and form. Best known for her still life, Sarah works in a quiet, considered way, inspired by small, cleanly shaped objects, such as eggs, jugs or simple gatherings of flowers. Recorded in Oxford, August 2021.

Bulgarians from abroad on anti-government demonstrations in Bulgaria - Българи от чужбина за анти-правителствените протести в България

Season five of our podcast continues with another presentation from our 2020 annual conference: ‘Engaged Phenomenology’ Online. This episode features Francesca Brencio who was one of three speakers (along with Prisca Bauer and Valeria Bizzari and Francesca Brencio) on the preconstituted panel “Engaging phenomenology in the neurosciences”. Bauer and Bizzari’s presentations feature in episodes #92 and #93 of the BSP Podcast respectively. Brencio, from the University of Seville, concludes this triad of papers.   ABSTRACT: In the history of neurosciences, phenomenology arrived pretty late as a method able to enhance the understanding of neurological conditions. While psychiatry and psychology recognised the contribution of the phenomenological method at the beginning of XX century, other branches of neurosciences (neurology, neuropsychology, etc.) are still not including this approach, affirming that the investigation of the brain’s neuronal states can be understood only through third-person perspectives and that the subject’s experience is not necessary in order to understand clinical conditions and psychopathological phenomena, since memory, behaviour, perception and consciousness can be explained through a purely biological approach. This paper aims to propose a paradigm shift and to challenge neurosciences to bridge the gap between brain and experience. This contribution is articulated in two parts:  in the first one, I will briefly rebuild the origin of this methodological gap in order to show how the implications of this approach affect contemporary understanding and treatment of neurological conditions and neurodiversity. Techniques like functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Electroencephalogram (EEG) measure brain activity in response to sensorimotor, cognitive, affective or social stimuli or tasks, and many have tried to find brain correlates of neuropsychological conditions. However, recent findings show that causes or risks of mental disorders may operate at many levels, including genetic and neural elements of course, but also individual, family and social environments, that can be grouped under the item “experience”. In the second part, I will propose how to bridge the gap with an interpretative hypothesis aimed to show how the brain is part of a more complex system of elements in which human being is situated, involved and embedded. The 4E approach, as the most recent result of phenomenological adjustment to neurosciences, and the systemic approach stress the need of understanding the mental life of people and their life circumstances in a non-reductionist view. We will see how there is a bidirectional way to understand the link between brain and experience: mental disorders cannot be reduced only to brain dysfunctions and brain disorders cannot be caused by abnormal mental experience.   BIO: Francesca Brencio is Assistant Professor at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Seville, Convener and Instructor at the Pheno-Lab, a theoretical laboratory on Philosophy and Mental Health at the Department of Psychosomatic Medicine at the University Hospital in Freiburg and Member of The Phenomenology and Mental Health Network, The Collaborating Centre for Values-Based Practice in Health and Social Care, Catherine’s College, University of Oxford (UK). Her field of research is mainly related to Phenomenology, Hermeneutics, Philosophy of Psychiatry and Philosophy of religion.   This presentation is part of a preconstituted panel with Prisca Bauer, Valeria Bizzari, and Francesca Brencio. “Engaging phenomenology in the neurosciences”: Before becoming a subject of study in philosophy classes, phenomenology is the method that underpins all of science. Husserl conceived phenomenology as an a priori science of essences, but it has developed through other important authors during the beginning and first half of XX century (Gallagher & Zahavi, 2012; Moran, 2000; Zahavi, 2003). Engaging phenomenology in the contemporary scenario means embracing the legacy of the classics and also exploring its potential for different fields of knowledge, such as politics, public space, health. Phenomenology is a methodical effort to describe the basic structures inherent to conscious experience, such as embodiment, spatiality, temporality, intentionality, intersubjectivity, and to analyse their possible deviations and derailments (Fuchs, 2002). In recent years phenomenological approaches contributed to psychiatry and psychopathology by providing novel theoretical frameworks (Sass, Parnas, & Zahavi, 2011) and defining the subjective essence of experience more clearly. The aim of this panel is to explore how the phenomenological method can contribute to neurosciences through three different areas of research: to bridge the gap between the brain and lived experience allowing to understand mental disorders as not merely reducible to brain dysfunctions and brain disorders as consequence of abnormal mental experience; to offer a multidisciplinary account of autism, linking the role of the body and intercorporeality with recent findings in philosophy of neuroscience under the predictive brain hypothesis; and to improve care in people with epilepsy by implementing the neurophenomenological paradigm through systematic interviews, which allow people with epilepsy to recognise subjective seizure “warning signs”. The aim of the panel is to present findings already recognised by the scientific and academic community, and to go a step further by showing the necessity of a paradigm shift capable of improving the understanding and treatment of neurological conditions and neurodiversity.   This recording is taken from the BSP Annual Conference 2020 Online: 'Engaged Phenomenology'. Organised with the University of Exeter and sponsored by Egenis and the Wellcome Centre for Cultures and Environments of Health. BSP2020AC was held online this year due to global concerns about the Coronavirus pandemic.

La pandemia è ancora in corso, una seconda ondata sta preoccupando tutto il mondo e le curve epidemiche stanno mostrando una accelerazione esponenziale dei contagi dappertutto. Il dibattito sull'importanza del contact tracing e sul funzionamento delle App è ancora in corso, ma questi strumenti sono l'unica strada perseguibile poiché non ci sono difese per un virus che si propaga velocemente prima che appaiono i sintomi, e quindi la tempestività di intervento diventa un fattore critico. Con la pandemia in corso, saltano i sistemi sanitari mondiali e siamo costretti ad andare in lockdown perché gli ospedali devono funzionare per tutte le patologie.Luca Ferretti si sta occupando di questo tema dall'inizio della pandemia e in questo video presenta i suoi paper e ne discute con Aureliano Stingi, Domenico Somma, Thomas e Gianluca. Luca Ferretti e' Ricercatore Senior in statistica genetica e dinamica dei patogeni presso il Big Data Institute dell'Università di Oxford (UK).

Today, we take a look at the UK and two specific artistic fields: photography and theatre. My guest in this episode is Joanna Vestey, a photographer who recently launched the project „Custodians for Covid“, focused on raising money for theatres currently in crisis due to the Covid-imposed lockdown. This includes world renowned theatres such as the National Theatre, Shakespeare's Globe, the Royal Court Theater, and the Young Vic.

Being in a quartet is like being in a marriage, says Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt, violist and founding member of the world renowned award-winning Dover Quartet & our guest for Episode 5 of the So This Is My Why Podcast. Holding dual citizenship in the US and the Netherlands, Milena considers herself to have grown up “a little bit of everywhere” including in Oxford (UK), Baltimore and Jacksonville. Her father taught her the piano before, feeling fed up with the instrument, she chose the violin as her next musical endeavour. An instrument she picked up after hearing a musician busk on the streets of Oxford. At the age of 10 years old, having moved back to Jacksonville by then, she picked up the trombone and also (eagerly!) volunteered to play the viola when her younger brother wanted to form a quartet. We explore all that including a pivotal moment in the summer of 2005, where she met and learned from Michael Klotz, violist of Amernet Quartet & her first viola teacher, at the Bowdoin International Music Festival. A meeting that resulted in her “ sudden immersion in the viola world ”. *Curtis Institute of Music* We also discuss the considerations she had in place when applying for music schools and how she dropped all other applications the moment she got into her dream school - the Curtis Institute of Music! There, she studied with the likes of Michael Tree (of the Guarneri Quartet) & Roberto Diaz (President & CEO of the Curtis Institute of Music). It was also at Curtis that the members of what would be the Dover Quartet came together - not unlike the tentative start of a budding relationship! They bonded so well, one of their teachers, Shmuel Ashkenasi (Vermeer Quartet) asked them, “Have you considered getting married (to each other)?” because you're always together. To which Milena said: We could not have been more giddy than when he said that to us because we had looked up to him so much and he notoriously is one of the most demanding coaches we've ever had. And so to get that kind of encouragement from someone we looked up to… I think that definitely had a huge thing to do with our morale and decision to be kind of brave enough to commit to one another. From there, they decided to show “commitment” to each other by attending the graduate residency program at Rice University's Shepherd School of Music as a quartet. *Realities of Life As a String Quartet Member* The life of a string quartet member is so very unique & some of the things we explore include: * What is your schedule like as a string quartet? How often are you on the road? * What was it like participating in competitions (e.g. Fischoff Competition) and in particular, your memories of those incredible wins at the Banff Competition 2013 which launched the Dover Quartet into the spotlight? * Importance of competitions to the careers of string quartets * Ways of dealing with disagreements between quartet members, particularly in musical interpretations of pieces * Managing personal space while on the road; * Staying in touch with loved ones while on the road * Collaborations with other musicians & how that comes about * Giving live performances versus making studio recordings; * The role of social media & the power of collaborations - e.g. with Avi Avital, Edgar Meyer, Ray Chen, Roomful of Teeth & the Brooklyn Duo; * The Importance of public speaking as a means of connecting with the audience; * Dealing with concert reviews * Giving back to the community through Music For Food ( https://musicforfood.net/index.php/artist/dover-quartet/ ) ; and * “Balancing” a solo career with being in a quartet. *String Instruments* As the instrument itself is so important to a musician, we talk about: * The two violas she plays on & their different purposes * Modern v old instruments - which is better? Does it even matter? * How do you choose your violin? * Are violins with an unknown maker a good investment? * Impact of COVID-19 on her personal life & the life of the Dover Quartet *Role of Parents in a Child's Education* For parents with young kids or those thinking of pursuing music, we also deal with questions on: * Should all children be exposed to music / have music lessons? * How should parents handle children who don't want to practice, especially if they want to just quit after trying it for a short while? * At what age should a child learn a musical instrument? * What should people looking to pursue music think about & do? *Show notes:* https://www.sothisismywhy.com/5/ ** *Official Bio of the Dover Quartet* The phenomenal Dover Quartet catapulted to international stardom following a stunning sweep of the 2013 Banff Competition, at which they won every prize. Named the Cleveland Quartet Award-winner, and honored with the coveted Avery Fisher Career Grant, the Dover has become one of the most in-demand ensembles in the world. The Quartet's rise from up-and-coming young ensemble to occupying a spot at the top of their field has been “practically meteoric” ( Strings ). With its burnished warmth, incisive rhythms, and natural phrasing, the Quartet's distinctive sound has helped confirm its status as “the young American string quartet of the moment” ( New Yorker ). The Quartet serves as the quartet-in-residence for the Bienen School of Music at Northwestern University, Chamber Music Northwest, Artosphere, the Amelia Island Chamber Music Festival, and Peoples' Symphony in New York, and was recently named the first-ever quartet-in-residence for the Kennedy Center. In 2018-19 the Dover Quartet performs more than a hundred concerts around North America, including performances at the Kennedy Center, San Francisco Performances, the Philadelphia Chamber Music Society, Spivey Hall, Boston's Celebrity Series, the Chamber Music Society of Detroit, and Carnegie Hall. In addition, the Dover's season features tours of Hong Kong, Europe, and Australia, collaborations with Emanuel Ax, Inon Barnatan, Peter Serkin, Anthony McGill, and Roomful of Teeth, and premieres of new works by Caroline Shaw and Matan Porat. The Quartet was thrilled to be invited by the maverick filmmaker and cultural icon David Lynch to be featured at his Los Angeles Festival of Disruption. Cedille Records released the Quartet's sophomore album, entitled Voices of Defiance: 1943, 1944, 1945 in October 2017. The recording takes listeners on a powerful journey through works written during World War II by Viktor Ullmann, Dimitri Shostakovich, and Simon Laks. The 2016-17 season saw the release of its all-Mozart debut recording on the Cedille label, a nod to the 1965 debut album of the Guarneri Quartet, whose founding violist, the late Michael Tree, joined the Dover Quartet on the recording. In addition, the group has participated in three complete Beethoven quartet cycles, including the University at Buffalo's famous “Slee Cycle” – which has presented annual Beethoven quartet cycles since 1955 and has featured the likes of the Budapest, Guarneri, and Cleveland Quartets – and will record the cycle over the next three seasons. The group's world-class collaborators have included pianists Anne-Marie McDermott, Emanuel Ax, Marc-André Hamelin, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Peter Serkin, and Jon Kimura Parker; violists Roberto Díaz and Cynthia Phelps; bassist Edgar Meyer; and the Pacifica and Escher Quartets. In the spring of 2016, the Dover Quartet was recognized with the Hunt Family Award, one of the inaugural Lincoln Center Emerging Artist Awards, and in past years has taken top prizes at the Fischoff Competition and the Wigmore Hall International String Quartet Competition. All four Quartet members are consummate solo artists: first violinist Joel Link took first prize at the Menuhin Competition; violinist Bryan Lee and violist Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt have appeared as soloists with the Philadelphia Orchestra and Tokyo Philharmonic, respectively; and cellist Camden Shaw released a solo album debut on the Unipheye Music label. As Strad observes, “With their exceptional interpretative maturity, tonal refinement, and taut ensemble,” the Dover Quartet is “pulling away from their peers.” Hailed as “the next Guarneri Quartet” ( Chicago Tribune ), the Dover Quartet draws from the lineage of that distinguished ensemble, as well that of the Cleveland and Vermeer Quartets; its members studied at the Curtis Institute of Music and Rice University's Shepherd School of Music, where they were mentored extensively by Shmuel Ashkenasi, James Dunham, Norman Fischer, Kenneth Goldsmith, Joseph Silverstein, Arnold Steinhardt, Michael Tree, and Peter Wiley. It was at Curtis that the Quartet first formed, and its name pays tribute to Dover Beach by fellow Curtis alumnus Samuel Barber. The group has since returned for residencies to Rice in 2011-13, and to Curtis, where it became the conservatory's first Quartet-in-Residence, in 2013-14. In addition, in 2015 the Dover was appointed the first Resident Ensemble of Peoples' Symphony Concerts in the 116-year history of New York City's oldest concert series. The Dover Quartet is dedicated to sharing its music with under-served communities and is actively involved with Music for Food, an initiative enabling musicians to raise resources and awareness in the fight against hunger. The Dover Quartet plays on the following instruments: *Joel Link* : Jean-Baptiste Vuillaume, Paris circa 1857, on loan by Desirée Ruhstrat *Bryan Lee* : Riccardo Antoniazzi, Milan 1904 *Milena Pajaro-van de Stadt* : Michele Deconet, Venice, 1780, the ‘Kroyt,' generously on loan from the grandson of Boris Kroyt of the Budapest Quartet *Camden Shaw:* Frank Ravatin, France, 2010

On 9 June 2020, following two weeks of global Black Lives Matters protests, and following the toppling of a statue of slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol, UK, more than a thousand protesters gathered in Oxford city centre to demand the removal of a statue of the colonialist Cecil Rhodes from Oriel College in the centre of the city. The peaceful protest took place in the midst of the coronavirus lockdown, with around 9 out of 10 protesters wearing masks and face coverings, and observing social distancing where possible. This recording contains excerpts from speeches and chants across the crowd, and throughout you can hear the buzzing of helicopters from the press filming the protest from above.  Recorded by Cities and Memory.

The sky dragged a shroud of darkness across her rosemary bed.  Negotiating knee complaints, she clambered to her feet, and every neighbouring garden came into view; brown and withered.   “It’s no good, I’ll have to come to you”, she said; the pruning shears snug in her grip.   Show notes: Written and voiced by Rob Stringer, creator of sci-fi sitcom podcast Oblivity.

The coastline was still an unimaginable distance away.  He curled his toes over the edge of the rotting raft that floated on polystyrene blocks, anchored to the seabed by slick, weed-choked chains, and risked a glimpse.  Spectres circled beneath the surface. Each a streamlined torpedo of deathless hunger.  Dizzy, he looked back towards the scattered bodies, and spotted his brother’s blue and white windbreak.   He slowed his breathing, adjusted his goggles, and stretched his arms out ahead of him.  Show notes: Written and voiced by Rob Stringer, creator of sci-fi sitcom podcast Oblivity.

He swore the bone-dry ticking of the cheap clock above him was half the cause of his migraine. “We know it was you, Blue Smoke, or whatever the tabloids call ya. Just tell us where you stashed the apparatus, and we can end this.” The other contributing half imagined what it might be to throw her cuffed hands around his neck, and gently kiss his forehead. But she had a reputation to maintain, not to mention a tight timescale. “You’ve gotten further than most. You’ll find me again.” She braced herself as the hour hand crept towards six pm. Beneath her newly-scarred skin, her skeleton glimmered and hummed. Show notes:     Written and voiced by Rob Stringer, creator of sci-fi sitcom podcast Oblivity.

“We have to say good bye to ‘command and control’ leadership (and any aspect of it!) once and for all. We also have to make sure that we fix business before we ‘fix’ women. So we need to discover why now is the time to embrace and value feminine energy as a society. Understand how the ‘balance’ we crave is really about how we intertwine our energetic approach and learn ways to access and honour both our feminine and masculine energy super powers! In this way we are leading with authenticity, creating workplaces which celebrate the whole person, and avoiding burnout by working to a system/structure that no longer serves us”. This is just some of what Rebecca Livesey shares  in our interview on this episode of Hot and Healthy. Who is Rebecca Livesey: An executive coach and leadership specialist, Rebecca is passionate about creating lasting positive change in business, and the critical role of feminine energy and women in doing this. Rebecca has held numerous leadership roles across Australia and the UK in a range of industries including energy, logistics, and mining services, even being a CIO with no technical background! Rebecca’s skillset ranges from an MA in Mathematics from Oxford (UK), to strategy development in large organisations, to leadership and cultural transformation. Rebecca is an accredited behavioral profiler, and a trained NLP Mindset Coach. Through her company Achieve-Lead-Succeed, Rebecca helps leaders unleash their potential, improve their culture and achieve amazing results with their people.

Peter Vis is the EU Visiting Fellow at St. Antony’s College, University of Oxford (UK), for the academic year 2014–2015. Prior to that he was Head of Cabinet to Connie Hedegaard, European Commissioner for Climate Action (2010–2014). He has an MA (history) from the University of Cambridge (UK). On the 12 November 2015 at the European University Institute in Florence, he presented the new book ‘EU Climate Policy EXPLAINED’ which he co-edited with Jos Delbeke to Florence School of Regulation Climate and selected audience. This book explains the EU’s climate policies in an accessible way, to demonstrate the step-by-step approach that has been used to develop these policies, and the ways in which they have been tested and further improved in the light of experience. It shows that there is no single policy instrument that can bring down greenhouse gas emissions, but the challenge has been to put a jigsaw of policy instruments together that is coherent, delivers emissions reductions, and is cost-effective. In view of the forthcoming 2015 UN Climate Change conference in Paris, this book is of great interest for academics and policy makers alike.
