This week, we're excited to bring a conversation from NGM Pathways' live community event to our feed. The good folks at our presenting organization, Next Gen Men, hosted Samantha and Remoy for a Q&A session about the US election. We stop just short of the audience Q&A to maintain privacy of the participants. Tune in!Remoy and Samantha start out with a shout-out to self-care. It's been a month since the election and some tough conversations with loved ones may have happened/may be coming up—it's important to take a moment for ourselves.Therapy is still the greatest thing ever. Remoy shouts out his own therapist and Samantha is excited to return this week.Male loneliness continues to be high—Samantha calls back the mental health conversation they had with resident counselor Justin Lioi this time last year.Next Gen Men's new community manager, Charlotte Kinloch, starts out with land acknowledgments. We remember that we are on stolen land both in the US and in Canada, as we start the conversation. Charlotte leads us into unpacking the election…Was this election gendered? It certainly didn't have to be but it was. A white male convicted felon being allowed to run and being measured against the most qualified presidential candidate in recent times certainly feels gendered. Well, it feels supremacist.Samantha and Remoy point out that many other factors were certainly implicated in Americans' decision to vote Trump, but gender cannot be ignored.What was surprising about the PEW findings from the pre-election episode?Right before the election, Juliana Horowitz from PEW Research Center came on the pod and shared Americans' feelings on men and masculinity. Men's progress and character traits in men were among the most surprising, particularly given the narratives promoted by the manosphere.As Horowitz shared during that episode, which Samantha brought up again now, not blaming women for men's lack of progress doesn't mean that women's progress is appreciated. This points to a patriarchal perspective prevailing among Americans.Samantha sidebars about why men have made less progress than women in the past few decades. PEW Research Center had a study on that as well…Remoy places us within a larger international context. Trump wasn't the only one elected as a result of populist efforts.Faith in education has dropped drastically, and education is viewed as the establishment.How was Trump able to paint himself as a man of the people even though he is a billionaire who rubs elbows with other billionaires? Remoy gives his take.If, as we discovered during our conversation with PEW Center's Senior Associate Director of Research, Juliana Horowitz, Americans value women's leadership and “feminine” traits being valuable to leadership, how did Donald Trump emerge as elected leader for this country yet again?Remoy reflects back on his conservative background before he became liberal and how much masculinity is entrenched in American culture history.Samantha points out that messaging around patriarchal leadership is heavily funded by nontraditional sources and funneled to nontraditional information and news sources. A win for the anti-establishment strategy.The manosphere and its spaces also provide something that men have trouble getting elsewhere.Remoy highlights the need for regulation on social media with a clear solution.How have evolving gender roles impacted the American public?PEW's research found that Americans don't blame men's lack of progress on women's continued progress, but men are still behind.Remoy brings up the biggest point of all, which is the economy. Many folks who vote conservative cite the economy as their main reason for doing so. This election was no different. This has impacted men in a real way, challenging the notion that they are providers. And some of their women spouses voted to ensure that their male partners could get better financially.Samantha highlights the ways in which the economy has already been impacted by Trump's win, but only a few have seen the wins.Talk to us! Did we cover all the points about the election? What would you have added?

Why Are Young People Avoiding Committed Romantic Relationships? – Interview with Jack KammerIntro: According to a report from the Pew Research Center, a random sampling of nearly 5,000 adults in the U.S., showed that 50 percent of single people are not interested in committed romantic relationships, and are not even interested in dating. Another 10 percent want nothing more than casual dates. This trend has been true for at least the past 15 YearsHere to help us understand this trend is Jack Kammer, who has a passion of helping people see and understand the connection between gender issues and some of America's social problems. Jack has talked about issues between the sexes on radio, publications, podcasts and in person. He's even appeared before both houses in Congress! His book called “Good Will Toward Men attempts to help us understand the breakdown is between men and women, and what to bring a balance of power between the sexes. Today, we hope to have an honest conversation about why young people are avoiding committed romantic relationships, and to help them feel more comfortable and safe about pursuing committed, romantic relationships in the future. I. This is the chaos: Half of single people don't want a relationship, or even to date!Jack • It's not necessarily that men and women don't want to be in relationship.

Timestamp 9:45: “It makes perfect sense why men don't want relationship because the idea of a relationship has been so distorted. Men don't want the trouble with a “relationship,” and would rather have the freedom to not be in a relationship. However….most men want to be loved, valued and appreciated. So they DO want relationships!• Tracy: “What questions should the Pew Center have asked on the survey?”• Jack: “Would you like to have a happy, committed relationship with a woman who loves you?”The social media algorithm: When they want men to click, they show horrible visions of women.

Every generation in the United States has become less religious than the one before. What is happening with organized religion, and where are people going to satiate their spiritual needs? This week, Mory and Melissa finally tackle the divide between spirituality and religion, using everything from poll data, personal testimony, and a healthy dose of skepticism. Can one be both religious and spiritual? What is the essence of religion, and how does it differ from that of spirituality? What happens when we have to choose between familiar traditions and personal dignity?

We sat down this week with Jay Levin, President of EQuip Our Kids, to explore the transformative power of emotional intelligence training. As society grapples with rising stress, anxiety, and a digital landscape that both connects and isolates, he discusses how Equip Our Kids is paving a path to mental wellness for children and teens. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone invested in shaping a future where emotional intelligence is the cornerstone of education and personal development. Most would agree our times are as tumultuous and unpredictable, as they are auspicious and potentiating. How we proceed in this era is ultimately a matter of choice and exploring the best ways forward. Over the last decade, mental health in among youth has been declining, in conjunction with increased levels of stress, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and depression. The pandemic years exacerbated feelings of isolation, loneliness, sadness and hopelessness among many youth globally. The prevalence of social media, cellphones, and digital addiction are impacting youth with greater access to national and global challenges whether it be: climate change, gun violence, racial injustice, gun violence or international or socioeconomic crises. According to a survey of tens of thousands of students conducted by University of Michigan researchers, 8th and 10th graders in 2021 spent an average of 3.5 hours daily on social media platforms. The Pew Center also reported that last year, 35% teens said they used social media “almost constantly.” Poor sleep, sedentary, indoor lifestyles, peer pressure, cyberbullying, and diminishing in-person vs. virtual social connections are all impacting the mental health of today's youth for better or worse. How can we nurture emotional intelligence skills that equips youth with adaptability in changing times, fortitude and wellness tools that foster their innate gifts and potential? Jay Levin, President of Equip Our Kids [https://equipourkids.org] joined us to talk about the potential and need for social emotional learning and nurturing emotional intelligence to create greater balance, resiliency and a deep sense of connectedness among youth of all ages.

One of the most important moments in the early history of the civil rights movement was the performance by opera star and Philadelphian Marian Anderson. Anderson performed at the Lincoln Memorial on April 9, 1939 and this concert became iconic because it was arranged after Anderson was denied permission to perform at Constitution Hall by the daughters of the American Revolution due to her race.

It was a website of a sound artist, a writer, an educator, Jace Clayton, DJ/Rupture, had a mixed CD called "Gold Teeth Thief". I remember it was kind of a game changer in the late '90s. I got that mixed CD from a website called History of the Future. Li:That's very close. It was very close.Nathan:It's always stuck with me. I'm fortunate enough to be able to grapple with a lot of these kind of ideas. I'm not really quite sure how I feel about some of the history of the future because in some ways I work within many different archives so I am dealing with people's future or thinking about or reimagining or just imagining their future.But future monuments are something that I grapple with and deeply consider in my artwork. I think it's one of the more challenging subjects today in art. I think we see that with the taking down of monuments that were so controversial or are so controversial. But I find it fascinating the idea of finding new forms to make monuments to remember and the idea of working with different communities of memory. It's key to my work. It's just a lot of listening and a lot of pondering. Actually, it's a very productive space for me because it's a place to think about form. Also, it opens doors for me just to think about the future. I will say this, that one problem that often arises as a Lenape Delaware Pawnee Kiowa person is we're often talking about the past, and I really like to talk about the future and to work with organizations that are thinking about the future. Li:I can relate to that. Nathan:I think it's a misunderstanding. We always really are talking about the future. I've had the great fortune to be around some people. Actually, I grew up in the capital of the Cherokee Nation, Oklahoma. A lot of people know that Oklahoma is the home to 39 federally recognized tribes. I was fortunate enough to grow up in Tahlequah, which is the capital of the Cherokee Nation, and was able to be around a well-known and respected medicine man named Crosslin Smith, also an author. I remember being a part of an interview with Crosslin. I grew up, he was a family friend.He said, "I'm often asked about the old or ancient ways and the new ways." What Crosland said was, and I'll try my best to articulate this idea, is that there is no difference between the ancient ways and today. These things still exist. It might be an illusion or we might not be able to comprehend or understand it, but there is no difference between the ancient, when we're thinking of things in the sense of the sublime, I think. There is no understanding the ancient and what is contemporary. That was really an important moment for me as an adult. To hear him articulate that was really important. So I think about that. I'm not really sure about a lot of things, but I really like to think about that when I'm working. Li:It kind of runs through your mind as you're working and creating. It's a deep thought, that's for sure, connecting those things. Even thinking back on your own personal history with sound, when did you first connect your relationship to place and homeland to sound and music? Nathan:Well, my earliest remembrances of music, honestly, are my dad driving me around in his truck, picking me up after school, and singing peyote songs, Native American Church songs, peyote songs. The members of the Native American Church call that medicine. My father was an active member of a chapter of the Native American Church at that time. I was fortunate enough to receive my Lenape Delaware name in a peyote meeting. But the first things I remember are the music he played in the car, but really the singing in the car, the singing in the truck that he would do of those peyote songs. Even after he quit going to meetings or he wasn't active in the Native American Church anymore, he still would sing these peyote songs, and I would ask him about the peyote songs, because they're different for every tribe. The forms, they still have their kind of conventions, but they're very tribally specific.Everything in what we call legally Indian Country here in the United States is super hyper local. So just down the road, that's really the beautiful thing about living in Oklahoma, is you have people whose ancestors are from northeast, southeast, southwest. There's only one tribe here from California. So it's a really rich place for sound and song. Both of my parents are Indigenous American Indian. My mother is Pawnee and Kiowa. My father is Lenape Delaware. I also grew up around the Big Drum, what we call the Big Drum at powwows. I never became a powwow singer or anything like that. Never learned anything around the Big Drum. But I did eventually learn Pawnee songs, Native American Church Pawnee songs.But really, I was just a kid in a small town in Oklahoma. When skateboarding hit and you become kind of an adolescent, you start to discover punk rock and things like that. Those to me were the way that the culture was imported to me. I didn't realize that I was already surrounded by all this beautiful culture, all of the tribes and my parents' tribes and my grandparents'. But then it was like a transmitter. Even these tapes were just transmitters to me. So those were really important also. I have a lot of thoughts about sound. Other thing I remember is my father often would get onto us or make fun of us for being so loud and saying we would be horrible scouts or hunters.Li:Making too much noise. Nathan:The Native Americans, yeah, yeah. We weren't stealth. You'd hear us coming a mile away. So he would always say, "You wouldn't be a very good one," just to try to get us quiet down.Li:No one wants to be a bad hunter, right? Can you break down the concept of Indigenous Sonic Agency? is this based on ancestral traditions, your artistic practice, academic scholarship, or a bit of all the above? Nathan:Well, Indigenous Sonic Agency is really one piece of a larger subject sonic agency, which I encountered in a book titled Sonic Agency by Brandon LaBelle. I was a former member of this collective, Postcommodity, and I'm reading this book. When we were first starting the collective, we had the opportunity to work with this Czech poet named Magor, Ivan Jirous Magor. It means blockhead, I believe. It's a nickname. He was kind of described as the Andy Warhol of the Plastic People of the Universe. He was an art historian. He spent most of his life in prison just for being an artist, an art historian. He was an actual musician. He didn't play with the Plastic People of the Universe, to my knowledge, but he did to write the lyrics, to my knowledge. We had the opportunity to record with Magor. So I'm reading this book about sonic agency, and here I find somebody that I'd actually had an experience with sonic agency with in my early days and as a young man and an artist.But ultimately Indigenous Sonic Agency is, in some sense, similar but different to tribal sovereignty. So when you think of agency or sovereignty, it's something that they sometimes get mixed up. I'm really trying to parse the differences between this, what we understand so well as political sovereignty as federally recognized tribes and what agency means, say, as an artist. But in my research, in the subject of sonic agency and Indigenous Sonic Agency, it encompasses pretty much everything. That's what I love about sound. Everything has a sound, whether we can hear it or not. Everything is in vibration. There are sounds that are inaudible to us, that are too high or too low. Then there's what we hear in the world and the importance of silence with John Cage. I think that they're just super productive.I was introduced really to sound studies through this book called Sonic Warfare by Steve Goodman. It was really about how the study of sound was, in a sense, still emerging because it had mostly been used for military purposes and for proprietary purposes such as commercials and things like that. As I stated earlier, I felt like music was my connection to a larger world that I couldn't access living in a small town. So even everything that came with it, the album covers, all that, they really made an impression on me as a young person, and it continues to this day, and I've been focusing deeply on it.My studies in sonic agency -- Indigenous Sonic Agency -- encompass everything from social song, sacred song, voice, just political speech and language, political language. There's so much work to be done in the emerging sound studies field. I felt that Indigenous Sonic Agency, there was a gap there in writing and knowledge on it. Now though, I acknowledge that there has been great study on the subject such as Dylan Robinson's book, Hungry Listening. I am fortunate enough to be around a lot of other Indigenous experimental artists who work in all the sonic fields. So it's an all-encompassing thing. I think about the sacred, I think about the political, I think about the nature of how we use it to organize things and how language works. Silence is a part of it. Also, listening is very important. It's something that I was taught at a very young age. You always have to continue to hone that practice to become a better and better listener. Li:That's the truth. Nathan:My grandmother was very quiet, but whenever she did talk, everybody loved it. Li:That's right. That's right. Let's talk about the Pennsbury Manor project. Can you share how you, Ryan Strand Greenberg, and Theo Loftis met and how nkwiluntàmën came to be? Nathan:Well, to my recollection, I try to keep busy around here, and oftentimes it means traveling to some of the other towns in the area such as Pawnee or Bartlesville or Dewey or Tahlequah. I wasn't able to do a studio visit with Ryan, but I wanted to see his artist talk that he was giving at the Tulsa Artist Fellowship, which I was a fellow at at that time. I remember seeing these large public art projects that were being imagined by Ryan. We had worked on some other projects that, for one reason or another, we weren't unable to get off the ground. Eventually, Pennsbury Manor was willing to be this space where we could all work together. I remember rushing back and being able to catch Ryan's artist talk. Then right before he left town, we had a studio visit and found out how much we had in common concerning the legacy of the Lenape in the Philadelphia area, what we used to call Lenapehoking. So it was a really a moment of good fortune, I believe. Li:Monument Lab defines monument as a statement of power and presence in public. The nkwiluntàmën project guide describes Pennsbury Manor as a space to attune public memory. It goes on to say that sites like these are not endpoints in history, but touchstones between generations. I really love that statement. Do you think Pennsbury Manor and the land it stands on, do you consider it a monument in your eyes? Why or, maybe even, why not? Nathan:Well, yeah, I would definitely consider Pennsbury Manor, in a sense, a monument. I think that we could make an argument for that. If we were talking about the nature of it being William Penn's home and it being reconstructed in the 20th century, you could make a very strong argument that it is a monument to William Penn and also as William Penn as this ideal friend to the Indian. Some people don't like that word. Here in Oklahoma, some of us use it. Technically, it was Indian Country legally. But I use all terms: Native American, Indigenous, Indian. But I'd mostly like to just be called a Lenape Delaware Pawnee Kiowa.I definitely would say that you could make an argument that is a monument to William Penn especially as part of that, as this ideal colonist who could be set as a standard as for how he worked with the Lenape and then other tribes in the area at the time. I think that's kind of the narrative that I run into mostly in my research, literally. However, I would not say that it was established or had been any type of monument to my Lenape legacy. I did not feel that... I mean, there was always mention of that. It was, like I said, as this ideal figure of how to cooperate with the tribes in the area. But I would definitely say it's not a monument to the Lenape or the Delaware or Munsee.Li:Can you share a bit more about the project itself in terms of nkwiluntàmën and what exactly you did there at Pennsbury Manor to shift and really inform that history from a different perspective? Nathan:Well, first of all, at Pennsbury Manor, I was given a lot of agency. I was given a lot of freedom to what I needed to as an artist. I was really fortunate to be able to work with Doug and Ryan and Theo in that manner where I could really think about these things and think deeply about them. I started to consider these living history sites. My understanding is that they're anachronisms. There's a lot of labor put into creating a kind of façade or an appearance of the past, and specifically this time, this four years that William Penn was on this continent. So this idea that nothing is here that is not supposed to be here became really important to me. What I mean by that is, say, if you threw in a television set, it kind of throws everything off. Everybody's walking around in clothing that reflects that era and that time. If you throw some strange electronics in the space, it kind of is disruptive. I didn't feel the need to do anything like that.I felt that one of the great things about working in sound and one of the most powerful things about sound is that sound can also be stealth. You can't see sound. We can sonify things or we can visualize it or quantify it in different ways. But to me, this challenge of letting the place be, but using sound as this kind of stealth element where I could express this very, very difficult subject and something that really nobody has any answers to or is sure about... I was trained as an art historian, and I know that we're only making guesses and approximations just like any doctors. We are just trying to do these things.But sound gave me the ability at Pennsbury Manor and nkwiluntàmën to work stealthy and quiet, to not disturb the space too much because there's important work that's done there, and I want to respect people's labor. As a member of the Delaware tribe of Indians of Lenape, I felt that it was a great opportunity to be the person who's able to talk about this very difficult subject, and that is not lost on me. That's a very, very heavy, very serious task. Li:Yeah, big responsibility. Nathan:Yes. It is not lost on me at all how serious it is, and I feel very fortunate. I think without such a great support system in place, it wouldn't have been possible. nkwiluntàmën means lonesome, such as the sound of a drum. We have a thing called the Lenape Talking Dictionary, Li:I've seen it. I've seen it. Nathan:I'm often listening. I'm listening to Nora Dean Thompson who gave me my Delaware name, my Lenape name, Unami Lenape name in a peyote ceremony. So I often go there to access Delaware thought and ideas and to hear Delaware voices and Delaware language being spoken. I know that some people have different views on it, but let's say, I think artists and people have used the Unami Lenape before and art exhibitions as a lost or an endangered languages. I know that in the entire state that I live in, and in most of Indian country, there's a great language revitalization movement that I was fortunate to be a part of and contribute to.Really, that's where I discovered that that's really where through language, there's nothing more Lenape, there's nothing more Delaware, Unami Lenape than to be able to talk and express yourself in that manner or, say, as a Pawnee or a Kiowa to be able to talk and express. Embedded in those words are much more than just how we think of language. They're really the key to our worldviews. Our languages are the keys to our worldview and really our thought patterns and how we see the world and how we should treat each other or how we choose to live in the world or our ancestors did. So I'm fascinated by the language. I was fortunate enough to be around many, many different native languages growing up. But ours was one because of the nature of us being a northeastern tribe that was very much in danger of being lost. Some would say that at one point it was a very, very, very endangered language to the point to where nobody was being born in what we call a first language household, where everybody could speak conversationally in Unami Lenape.So these things, we all think about this, by the way, all of my community, the Delaware Tribe of Indians. I was fortunate enough to serve on the Tribal Council as an elected member for four years. We think about these things definitely all the time, and people do hard work to try to revitalize the language. I know at this time that the Delaware Tribe of Indians is actively working to revitalize our language. Li:That's a part of that preservation and remembrance because your work, really does explore this idea of ancestral remembrance and is rooted in that. Then again, you're also engaging with these historic sites, like Pennsbury Manor, that tap into public memory. So in your thoughts, how are ancestral remembrance and public memory connected? Are there any similar ways that they resonate? Nathan:Well, I think of different communities of remembrance. Within this idea of memory there are just different communities. I don't want to want to create a dichotomy, but it's easily understood by those who focus on the legacy of William Penn and those who focus on the legacy of the Lenape or the Pawnee. But ancestral memory is key to my culture, I believe, and I really don't know any way to express it other than explaining it in a contemporary sense. If you're deeply involved in your tribal nation, one of the one things that people will ask you is they'll say, "Who are your folks?" Literally, people will say, "Who are your folks?" Li:Who are your peoples? Nathan:"What family do you come from?" I didn't start to realize this until I was an adult, of course. It's not something you think you would ever think of as a child or anything. It started to become really apparent to me that we're families that make up communities that have stayed together in our case for hundreds of years across thousands of miles. It's a point to where we got down to very small numbers. We still stuck together. Then there was also a diaspora of Lenape that went to Canada, the Munsee and the Stockbridge. There was the Delaware Nation who has actually lived more near the Kiowa. My grandmother was Kiowa. But we still had the same family names. For instance, there are people and members of the Delaware Nation that are actually blood related to the Delaware Tribe. So that is really our connection to each other is our ancestors. That's purely what binds us to together is that our ancestors were together, and we just continue that bond. Li:Thank you. A part of Monument Lab's mission is to illuminate how symbols are connected to systems of power and public memory. What are the recurring or even the most vital symbols illuminated in your work? Nathan:Oh, that's a really tough question because my work is all over the place. I work across a lot of different mediums, although I've trained as an art historian, so I came into this as a visual artist. I just happened to be a musician and then discovered installation art and how sound works in art. But for me, the story I feel that I'm trying to tell cannot be held by any number of symbols or signs. I want to give myself the freedom and agency to use whatever is needed, actually, whatever is needed to get across the idea that is important to me. So going back to nkwiluntàmën, lonesome, such as the sounds, these colors, we use these white post-Colonial benches, and there's four large ones, placed across the grounds of Pennsbury Manor. You'll see that, if one were to visit, they would see a black bench, a yellow bench, a white bench, and a red bench. Nathan:If you're from my community, a Delaware Tribe of Indian member and you know that you're a Lenape, you understand that those colors have meaning to our tribe, and you'll know that those colors have sacred meaning. So in some sense, I will use whatever I think is the most appropriate way to use it also. I want to give myself the freedom to use any type of symbolism. I loved growing up with my mother and my grandmother being able to go to powwows. My mom would say, "Well, here comes the Shawnee women. Here comes the Delaware women. They dress like this. Here comes..." Li:You can recognize from their dress. Nathan:My mother and my grandmother taught me that iconography of our clothing, what we now call regalia. Li:I was curious if perhaps the drum or even the idea of homeland show up in your work? Nathan:Oh, they definitely show up in my work when appropriate. But rather than a drum, I would say sound or song or music. We do have these iconographies and symbols that are deeply meaningful to us, and I often use those in my artwork. But really the question for me is how to use them appropriately and, also at the same time, expand the use of these things appropriately. It's just being accountable to your legacy and your community in a sense and not crossing these boundaries, but still at the same time pushing form, pushing the edge.I'm a contemporary person. We're all contemporary people. We want to add something. We want to contribute. We want to be useful. So I'm searching for symbols and forms all the time, different ones. Whether it be a mound, whether it'd be a swimming pool inside an art gallery or a singing park bench or a post-Colonial bench in Pennsbury Manor, in some ways you could say I would be indigenizing and musicalizing those benches. But I consciously work to have a very broad palette. I want my work to be expansive and be able to encompass any subject or idea, because that's why I got into art is because you can talk about anything.Li:Yeah, it's boundless. It's boundless. Then also thinking about the connections and the symbols that you mentioned, the colors that you mentioned, the iconography, what systems of power might they be connected to? Nathan:Well, ultimately, I think that most of the power that is embedded in these symbols comes from the sublime, that come from the sacred. It's complicated. The sacred means to not be touched. That's my understanding, it's to not be touched. However, it's been the source of inspiration for artists of any continent of any time is, if you want to call it, a spiritual, sublime, religious connection, inspiration, whatever, but ultimately, that is my understanding. From my research, even as a young person studying Pawnee mythologies at the University of Oklahoma and special collection and learning stories, our origin stories and what color meant and how the world was seen by my ancestors from other tribes as well as Lenape stories, it's something that's hard to grasp and to hold onto, but that's how we've come to identify each other. It's as simple as we have car tags here that represent our tribes. We have a compact with the state. So everybody's looking around at all these different car tags.Li:Wow. Nathan:You see a regular Oklahoma one, and then you'll see... A very common one is a Cherokee because they're one of the biggest tribes. You'll see a blue one, it's Pawnee. Now you'll see a red one, and it's Delaware or Lenape. It says Unami Lenape on it, and it has our seal. So we play this kind of game all of us. I mean, it's not a game, but we're always looking at license plates to see... It might be your mom's car you're driving that has, say, a Kickapoo license plate or something, and it's a Cherokee driving it or a non-Indian or something, a relative, say. It's not for me to say where these came from. It's something that I actually just really explore and that fascinates me. It's very rich growing up and being a member of my tribal communities. I learn something new almost daily. Li:I can imagine like you said, the learning experience that you have as a child growing up in your community. You mentioned mythologies earlier. I study mythology. One of the purposes I've come to understand is education, educating through these stories. I recently interviewed Jesse Hagopian from the Zinn Education Project and the movement for anti-racist education. The struggles for education reform and reckoning with Eurocentric understandings of history seem to be deeply connected efforts. So on nkwiluntàmën, I understand an educational curriculum has been developed for younger audiences. What do you hope that people take away from this project that they might not find in a textbook or a classroom? Nathan:Well, I would hope that when people visit the large-scale sound installation and visual elements of it that they would understand... my greatest hope that people would learn what I learned while creating the work was that I really don't know what it felt like. I just came across, I was looking for the words in the Delaware Talking Dictionary for feelings, and I found a sentence or a way of saying feeling that said, "It did not penetrate me. I did not feel it." It made me realize that I don't know. I've never had this happen to me. The history of the Delaware Lenape is of constant removal, of constant pushing. Most people know the Cherokee Nation and the Trail of Tears. Actually, there were many movements of the Cherokee. It's very complex. All tribes are very complex. You always have to qualify. But the Trail of Tears is what most people know about. It was this very long, two-year complex journey. It was fraught. Li:That's one of the stories that we learned in school, if at all. Nathan:So our story is of nine of those and, to my understanding and research, was about once every 30 years. So it seemed to me that most Lenape, who came to be known as the Delaware Tribe, who I grew up with as, had ancestors that had experienced a removal. It's something that we still live and deal with today. We came to Oklahoma from what is now Lawrence, Kansas, when this was called Indian Territory. We had been living before that north of Kansas and had adapted our way of life as we changed across this territory and through time to survive.So as we moved into the Plains, we started to hunt buffalo, and then we get kind of crosswise with some other tribes. I think when the federal government was constituting Indian Country, they were concerned with the relationships between other tribes and how they felt. My understanding is we had upset some... By Buffalo hunting and adopting that way of survival and life, there was some trepidation about us. They wanted our reservation. The railroad wanted our reservation, and Lawrence, Kansas, to run directly through our reservation. They were forcing us to move off that reservation, and they couldn't find a place. That was kind of my understanding of the situation. So we ended up in the northernmost part of the Cherokee Nation. This made us a landless tribe for a very, very long time. Technically, we didn't have a reservation. We were living in the Cherokee's reservation because we had this very ancient but kind of tangential connection to the Cherokees. So that's a very long and complicated story as well. Li:That's actually a beautiful setup for one of my last questions actually. This idea of documentation and stewardship are key for Indigenous communities, as you just mentioned, that continue to contend with stolen land, forest displacements, cultural erasure, and lost languages. Monument Lab thinks a lot about the future archives that can hold the dynamic nature of public memory in all its forms. What would a future archive of ancestral memory look, feel, or even sound like for you? Nathan Young:I love that question because we do work with future archives of our ancestors, all of us do today. So I think it's really a question of form. I've encountered this in my studies of Sonic Agency and Indigenous Sonic Agency. The invention of the phonograph and the wax cylinder are very important. It didn't look like anything. It looked like sound or that archive. I think that unknowingly, we're all living in an archive. We're archiving moments now as things speed up constantly. Paul Virilio, the theorist, was very, very important to my thinking because he theorized about speed and the speed of, say, how a camera shutter and a gun are very similar in their repeatingness. I think about repetition a lot. But today, we live in this hyper surveillance society that any moment could be archived, any moment could be filmed, and also these things will be lost. So that is a fascinating thought to think about what may survive and become the archive and what may not, even with all of this effort to constantly surveil and document everything.But it's my hope that archives are important just because they give us a deeper understanding of a connection to something we will never be able to experience. So I think that a future archive is something that we cannot imagine. We don't know what it's going to look like, and it's up to us to find out and to explore form and explore possibilities so that we're not stuck in this mindset that has to be in steel and monumentalized as a figure or a person or something like that. So in my mind, it's just to be revealed to us. We'll know later, but I would hope that were to make...I know this is what people still do today that make monuments. They want to make something beautiful, but that means something different to Lenape or a Pawnee or Kiowa, so that seems very different to us. And so we do that. We do memorialize things in different ways. But I think that we think of them as more ethereal, whether we think of them as things that we know that aren't going to really last forever. I feel that way, at least. I don't speak for all of my culture. But I know that some of us are trying to find new forms to really memorialize our past and unite our community of memory and our tribes, our experiences.Li:Like you said, time, everything's moving so fast and everything's evolving. Everything's constantly changing. So who knows what the forms will take. This has been such a wonderful conversation. I really appreciate your time. I just wanted to see if you had any final words or even gems of ancestral wisdom you might want to leave with us before we finish. Nathan:No, I can't share any ancestral wisdom, not knowingly or very well. I just appreciate the opportunity to create the piece. I appreciate the opportunity to expand upon the piece by talking with you about this because I'm just trying to figure this out. I don't have all the answers. Li:Right, that is part of being a life learner and walking this path. Everyone's on their journey. We are constantly learning at every turn. I'm with you, Nathan. I often admit that I do not have all the answers. That is for sure. I really enjoyed learning about your work and your practice. I definitely plan on getting down to Pennsbury Manor and look forward to the curriculum for the youth when it comes out. Nathan:Well, thank you. I hope you enjoy it. I hope that it's a meaningful experience for you. I'm a very fortunate person to be able to work on such a project and very grateful to the entire team and everybody that supported the process. Li:Thank you, and thank you again to Ryan Strand Greenberg, who is also the producer of this podcast and worked with you on the project for nkwiluntàmën.

Recidivism from recidive and -ism, from Latin recidivus "recurring", from re- "back" and cado "I fall") is the act of a person repeating an undesirable behavior after they have experienced negative consequences of that behavior. It is also used to refer to the percentage of former prisoners who are rearrested for a similar offense. The term is frequently used in conjunction with criminal behavior and substance abuse. Recidivism is a synonym for "relapse", which is more commonly used in medicine and in the disease model of addiction. Norway has one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world at 20%. Prisons in Norway and the Norwegian criminal justice system focus on restorative justice and rehabilitating prisoners rather than punishment. United States. According to the latest study by the US Department of Justice, recidivism measures require three characteristics: 1. a starting event, such as a release from prison 2. a measure of failure following the starting event, such as a subsequent arrest, conviction, or return to prison 3. an observation or follow-up period that generally extends from the date of the starting event to a predefined end date as in 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, or 9 years). The latest reported that 83% of state prisoners were arrested at some point in the 9 years following their release. A large majority of those were arrested within the first 3 years, and more than 50% get rearrested within the first year. However, the longer the time period, the higher the reported recidivism rate, but the lower the actual threat to public safety. According to an April 2011 report by the Pew Center on the States, the average national recidivism rate for released prisoners is 43%. According to the National Institute of Justice, almost 44 percent of the recently released return before the end of their first year out. About 68 percent of 405,000 prisoners released in 30 states in 2005 were arrested for a new crime within three years of their release from prison, and 77 percent were arrested within five years, and by year nine that number reaches 83 percent. Beginning in the 1990s, the US rate of incarceration increased dramatically, filling prisons to capacity in bad conditions for inmates. Crime continues inside many prison walls. Gangs exist on the inside, often with tactical decisions made by imprisoned leaders. While the US justice system has traditionally focused its efforts at the front end of the system, by locking people up, it has not exerted an equal effort at the tail end of the system: decreasing the likelihood of reoffending among formerly incarcerated persons. This is a significant issue because ninety-five percent of prisoners will be released back into the community at some point. A cost study performed by the Vera Institute of Justice, a non-profit committed to decarceration in the United States, found that the average per-inmate cost of incarceration among the 40 states surveyed was $31,286 per year. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

Artists have found many reasons over the years to name-drop famous people. Most commonly, it's a sign of praise, as they effectively pay tribute to someone they respect and admire. Other times, a name-drop can stoke controversy, igniting or further fueling a fight. Then there are the cases where a name-check is used for creative purposes, helping to establish a song's characters or time period. Well on today's show we are gonna examine several instances and try to better understand how they serve the song or the artist's motives.To help us with the topic today, we have a very special guest on the show! V. Shayne Frederick!V. Shayne Frederick is a vocalist and pianist with performances spanning decades. He's electrified TEDx, NPR, and stages nationally.

This episode was originally posted on May 15, 2020. As Ukrainians fight to preserve their freedom from Putin's invading Russian army, we're revisiting a classic interview from Hold These Truths with one of the foremost experts on Russia today: former Ambassador to Russia, Jon Huntsman, Jr. He took us inside the mind of Vladimir Putin, how he re-shaped the worldview and psyche of Russians during his three decades in power, and we examined the disinformation campaign surrounding Michael Flynn. Jon Huntsman, Jr. served as U.S. Ambassador to Russia from 2017 – 2019, during one of the most difficult periods in bilateral relationships since deep in the Cold War. He is the only ambassador to ever serve in both China (2009 – 2011) and Russia (2017 – 2019), as well as Singapore (1992 – 1993). He was the Governor of Utah (Jan. 2005 – Aug. 2009), served as the Chair of the Western Governors Association, and under his leadership Utah was ranked as the best managed state in America by Pew Center on the States.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment in science, technology, engineering, math fields (otherwise known as STEM), is projected to grow twice as fast in the next decade as for all occupations. Even so, a recent Pew Center study reported that only 7% of recent graduates in STEM fields were Black students. In today's episode, we will be talking with two experts, Dr. Nicole Rochester and Alexis Mobley, to help us gain a better understanding of how to address these concerns and why it matters.
Neste sábado (11), os Estados Unidos vão lembrar os 20 anos dos ataques do 11 de setembro de 2001. O maior atentado terrorista em território americano mudou o curso da história no país e no mundo. O brasileiro Hélio Bodini, radicado há anos em Nova York, presenciou os ataques contra as torres gêmeas do World Trade Center. Nesse podcast especial da RFI, ele lembra que "a magnitude [da tragédia] era tão inimaginável que travou o raciocínio" dele. Luiza Duarte, correspondente da RFI em Nova York Eram pouco mais de 9h da manhã (pelo horário local) de 11 de setembro de 2001 quando Hélio Bodini, depois de ouvir a notícia dos ataques pela TV, subiu ao terraço de seu prédio em Nova York. O primeiro avião pilotado por um terrorista da Al Qaeda havia atingido a torre norte às 8h46, e o segundo alvejou a torre sul às 9h03. “Conseguíamos ver as torres gêmeas enfumaçadas, a fumaça saindo. E aí rolou um branco na cabeça de pelo menos 20 a 30 minutos. Eu nunca senti isso na vida. Não conseguia formar uma opinião, tipo: é verdade? É a televisão? É a mídia? Isso está realmente acontecendo? O que é isso? Porque era de uma magnitude tão inimaginável que o nosso raciocínio travou por completo”, recorda Bodini. Agora, o 11 de setembro tem um triplo significado para o brasileiro: é seu aniversário, o dia em que chegou aos Estados Unidos e os atentados. Vinte anos depois, Hélio acredita, como alguns nova-iorquinos, que a ferida aberta pelos ataques começa a se cicatrizar. “Hoje em dia, a tragédia do 11 de setembro tem o seu peso, mas não é mais uma data pesada. Foi uma data pesada durante 4, 5 anos depois do que aconteceu. E aí passou, vira a página, vamos lá, próximo”, afirma à RFI. “Nunca esqueça” Integrantes da Al Qaeda sequestraram e derrubaram três aviões comerciais no World Trade Center, em Nova York, e no Pentágono, em Washington. Um quarto avião sequestrado, que se acreditava ter como alvo o edifício do Capitólio na capital americana, caiu em um campo da Pensilvânia. Os ataques contra as torres gêmeas em Manhattan fizeram 2.753 vítimas. Outras 184 morreram no atentado ao Pentágono e 40 em Shanksville, na Pensilvânia. O 11 de setembro é uma data muito importante para os nova-iorquinos. A frase “never forget” (nunca esquecer, em português) é usada com frequência para descrever a tragédia. A imprensa americana traz neste aniversário de 20 anos uma série de edições especiais sobre o tema – novos documentários, relatos de sobreviventes e de testemunhas. Americanos com idade suficiente para saber onde estavam e como receberam a notícia dos ataques compartilham um momento de horror. Uma tragédia coletiva. Segundo uma pesquisa do Pew Center publicada este mês, mais de 90% dos americanos com mais de 30 anos se lembram de como receberam a notícia dos ataques. Muitos viram as torres em chamas na TV. Aniversário de 20 anos A cerimônia em homenagem às vítimas de Nova York acontece no Marco Zero, onde estavam localizadas as torres gêmeas, hoje um grande vazio em uma área densamente ocupada por arranha-céus. O memorial dos ataques do 11 de setembro não é só um monumento, mas a própria lápide, o túmulo de cerca de 3 mil pessoas que faleceram no local e que as famílias não puderam enterrar. Mais de mil famílias nunca receberam restos mortais para realizar um funeral de seus entes queridos. Isso dá a dimensão da tragédia. Neste sábado, os familiares das vítimas vão se reunir no memorial para ler os nomes em voz alta de todos aqueles que perderam a vida nos ataques. O local onde ficava cada uma das torres será iluminado com um feixe de luz. Chamado de “tributo luminoso”, o horizonte de NY é marcado com as torres virtuais todos os anos. Invasão do Afeganistão A operação militar americana no Afeganistão começou menos de um mês depois dos ataques e foi uma resposta direta à chamada “ameaça terrorista”. A narrativa do governo americano era a de colocar fim ao terrorismo e levar a democracia, a liberdade ao país, na época comandado pelo Talibã. Militares americanos executaram o saudita Osama Bin Laden, fundador da Al Qaeda, mas mesmo depois disso mantiveram tropas no Afeganistão. Vinte anos depois, a saída dos EUA do país foi sangrenta e caótica. O Afeganistão que fica agora sob o domínio talibã não é a democracia que respeita os direitos humanos que o governo americano pretendia construir. As ameaças às minorias são enormes, há incerteza política e econômica e um grande número de refugiados sem destino. Novas revelações sobre os ataques Hoje, novas revelações indicam que 36 dias antes dos atentados, a inteligência americana alertou o presidente em exercício na época, George W. Bush, que a Al Qaeda planejava realizar ataques em solo americano. Diversos outros indícios de que um ataque terrorista era iminente e envolvia potencialmente explosivos e aviões foram coletados pela inteligência americana antes de 2001. A administração Bush teria ignorado os alertas. Na semana do 20° aniversário, o presidente Joe Biden assinou uma Ordem Executiva para tornar público certos documentos antes sigilosos, relativos aos ataques terroristas de 11 de setembro. Nos próximos seis meses, espera-se que sejam revelados relatórios, documentos analíticos e outros registros, incluindo gravações telefônicas e documentos bancários relacionados com os atentados. Essa era uma das promessas de campanha de Biden. Familiares das vítimas e sobreviventes pressionam o governo americano. Em carta enviada ao democrata, eles pediram ao presidente que evitasse recordar o aniversário dos ataques, caso não tornasse público documentos que eles acreditam poder comprovar o envolvimento de membros do governo da Arábia Saudita com o financiamento dos terroristas da Al Qaeda que realizaram os atentados. A Arábia Saudita nega qualquer envolvimento. Familiares das vítimas e milhares de pessoas que sofreram ferimentos, empresas e seguradoras estão pedindo bilhões de dólares em danos na Justiça americana, em um processo contra a Arábia Saudita.

According to a national study published in 2003 by The Urban Institute, within three years almost 7 out of 10 released males will be rearrested and half will be back in prison. The study says this happens due to personal and situation characteristics, including the individual's social environment of peers, family, community, and state-level policies. There are many other factors in recidivism, such as the individual's circumstances before incarceration, events during their incarceration, and the period after they are released from prison, both immediate and long term. One of the main reasons why they find themselves back in jail is because it is difficult for the individual to fit back in with ‘normal' life. They have to reestablish ties with their family, return to high-risk places and secure formal identification; they often have a poor work history and now have a criminal record to deal with. Many prisoners report being anxious about their release; they are excited about how their life will be different “this time” which does not always end up being the case. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/law-school/support

一週財經聚焦 一、6月11日，美國眾議院提出了5項新法案，旨在避免大型科技業者形成壟斷，妨礙市場競爭。這被視為是美國國會史上針對科技業者所祭出的最大行動，Google、Apple、FACEBOOK與Amazon等Big Tech，又將何去何從？ 國際媒體相關報導 ●CNN：〈House Democrats are prepping 5 antitrust bills to take on Big Tech〉(眾議院針對大型科技公司，正推動五項反壟斷法案) ●The Wall Street Journal華爾街日報：〈New York Senate Passes Antitrust Bill Targeting Tech Giants〉(眾議院通過反壟斷法，瞄準科技巨頭) ●CNBC：〈Lina Khan, progressive tech critic, sworn in as FTC chair〉(激進的科技批評者Lina Khan，宣誓擔任美國聯邦貿易委員會（FTC）主席) 分析解讀 這個世界匪夷所思的事情越來越多，Millions已經是大錢，現在的科技巨頭動輒就是幾個Billions的估值，已經夠嚇人了，而現在更是出現了超過Trillions的「Big 5」。這種富可敵國的現象，當然讓所有人越來越芒刺在背。加上疫情催化下的大政府與社會主義傾向，終於讓大家把矛頭指向這些科技巨頭。 事實上，這幾年無論美國政府或者歐盟，都透露了對科技巨頭獨霸一方的憂慮，政府正計畫進行調查，或推出相應的制衡措施。科技巨頭的各項服務緊緊圍繞著你我的生活，這雖然成為人們疫情下的重要支柱，但抬頭看見它們越飛越高、直入太空的估值，當然讓外界對他們的不信任感就變得越重。 你想想，Apple、Microsoft、Amazon、Google母公司Alphabet、Facebook、Tesla和NVIDIA，這七大美國科技巨頭，在2020年全球新冠疫情及廣泛經濟危機之下，總市值竟然增加了3.4兆美元。這是什麼概念？ 在疫情爆發的2020年，全球諸多產業受到大大小小衝擊，但對於產品與服務遍佈全球的美國大型科技公司而言，並未停滯不前，甚至度過了豐收的一年。截至五月，Apple以公司市值逾 2.2兆美元，超越MSFT（1.9 兆美元）、Amazon（1.76 兆美元）、Alphabet（1.6 兆美元）等全球任何一家公司。 但中國的科技巨頭，更早就因為反壟斷的風吹草動紛紛下跌。五月份，阿里巴巴和騰訊等10家領先 IT 和高科技公司的總市值，較2月份的高峰下跌超過8000億美元（2.2兆台幣），平均跌幅接近 30%。代表各國政府確實開始居高思危，警覺到科技巨頭確實可能帶來前所未見的風險。 回到美國眾議院的這五項反壟斷法案，雖然相關法案仍須由眾議院表決通過，並且獲得參議院批准，才能由美國總統正式簽署公告為正式法令，因此仍未有正式效力；而不少支持大型科技業者的團體也開始表示反對，認為相關法案若批准執行，不僅將造成業者提供的服務受限，同時也可能使美國科技失去競爭優勢。 但6月15日，知名反壟斷學者Lina Khan宣誓就任美國聯邦貿易委員會（FTC）主席，代表強硬立場的改革派已經掌握了話語權，再也不可能回頭了。 現年32歲的Lina Khan是哥倫比亞法學院教授，她同時也是眾議院司法委員會反壟斷小組的成員，曾協助撰寫一份大規模的反壟斷報告，指控Google、Apple、FACEBOOK與Amazon等四大科技巨頭濫用市場主導地位。 回到眾議院提出五項措施中，包含大型科技業者若擁有大規模平臺時，將不能同時擁有平臺經營或控制權。而相關法案中對於大型科技業者的定義，分別為市值達6000億美元以上，同時每月擁有50萬名以上活躍用戶與關鍵交易對象的業者，因此幾乎可將眾議院提出法案，認定為針對Google、蘋果、Facebook、亞馬遜等科技業者所設。 不過，雖然微軟目前市值規模也逼近2兆美元，同時也擁有Windows作業系統營造的龐大市場生態，卻未被眾議院特別盯上，原因可能是微軟與各個OEM業者一同擴大市場生態，有「利他」的角色。 市場看法認為，若眾議院提出法案獲得支持，並且批准成為正式法令，勢必將改變大型科技業者發展模式，但同時也會改變使用者過往習慣的服務方式。例如亞馬遜將無法再提供Prime會員服務；而Google也將無法透過平臺優勢，讓使用者快速尋找附近較受歡迎的餐廳店家；Apple也可能無法在作業系統內提供預裝更新服務等。 無獨有偶，6月12日日本政府也宣佈了對Apple和Google進行反壟斷的調查。而就在前不久，歐盟和英國也對四大科技巨頭發起了多輪調查和處罰。 一時間，全球最顯赫的科技四巨頭，竟然陷入了人人喊打的地步。 五項法案如下，我簡單介紹如下： 1. 美國選擇與創新線上法案 (American Choice and Innovation Online Act)： 避免科技平臺讓自家產品和服務，享有「沒有競爭對手」的優勢。 2. 終止平臺壟斷法案 (Ending Platform Monopolies Act)： 反對任何一家科技巨頭在某個領域造成壟斷。 3. 平臺競爭和機會法案 (Platform Competition and Opportunity Act)： 避免具獨佔優勢的平臺收購其他構成「競爭威脅」的對手公司。國會議員先前曾對臉書積極併購競爭對手提出質疑。 4. 啟用服務交換法 (Augmenting Compatibility and Competition by Enabling Service Switching Act of 2021，ACCESS)： 允許使用者建立資料可攜權和相容性。例如讓使用者更容易把自己的數據帶到其他平臺，或讓商家把客戶評論導入其他平臺。 5. 併購申報費用現代化法案 (Merger Filing Fee Modernization Act of 2021)： 提高企業向政府申請審議併購交易的費用，為美國司法部和聯邦貿易委員會 (FTC) 執行反壟斷法募集更多資金。 認真說起來，疫情還是催生這些動作的始作俑者。但隨著科技行業走出疫情陰霾，重新步入繁榮，人們也發現，這些科技巨頭似乎並沒有與全社會共用財富。事實上，科技行業的再度繁榮，反而令知識經濟與美國其他行業進一步拉大差距，尤其是原本就數位化程度不高，甚至在疫情前瀕臨破產的零售企業。 回顧過去一年的情況，不難看出這種差異。在科技行業全面享受繁榮的同時，其他行業卻普遍受挫： - 低收入就業人數較疫情前減少20%。 - 接近三分之一的低收入勞動者，支付房租和貸款。 - 約有2600萬成年人經常面臨溫飽問題。 跟據以往的經驗，各國政府要拉近貧富差距，做法不外乎透過某種方式加稅，或是針對富人增加稅收。 還有一種做法，是影響整個行業的變化。由於民粹主義者對亞馬遜、Facebook和Google等科技公司的崛起感到不滿，催生了所謂的「反科技浪潮」，為今年的反壟斷訴訟奠定了基礎。其中一項可能的措施是對規模最大的科技公司進行分拆，這無疑是赤裸裸地剝奪科技巨頭的巨額財富，所以必然遭到科技公司的奮起反抗。 隨著新年的到來，似乎是時候思考該如何解決美國社會的這種深層的割裂了。 儘管兩黨對於如何解決科技巨頭帶來的市場壟斷持不同的立場，但雙方都認為，這些企業在市場上擁有過多權力，需要採取進一步的限制措施。而拜登當選後，在企業所得稅、美中貿易戰，以及工作簽證的政策，又會對美國科技業造成什麼影響？ 美國耶魯大學競爭經濟學教授菲奧娜．莫頓（Fiona S. Morton）就表示：「 I think the good times for Silicon Valley are over. We are headed toward some more oversight and regulation. 」 （我認為矽谷的美好時光已不在，未來將面臨更多監督以及政策的挑戰。） 她進一步指出，未來一年，矽谷科技巨擘將面臨前所未有的反托拉斯調查，而民眾日益提高的社交媒體資安意識，也將對矽谷科技業的發展和創新，增加不確定的因素。 而近期美中貿易戰的延燒，則讓矽谷科技公司進入中國市場的大門愈來愈窄，也造成資金和人才流通的阻礙。另外，稅制的調整、失業率的遏止、移民工作簽證和疫情的控制，這些變數也是選後的焦點，並和矽谷有著密切關係。以下我從幾個主要政策面，分析這些變數對矽谷科技業趨勢的影響。 1.反壟斷調查，好壞見仁見智。 反托拉斯的精神，其實是鼓勵創造極大化的價值之後，再藉由打破這個價值產生創新的循環；從長遠角度來看，有破壞才有建設。 我在創投圈的朋友則認為，反壟斷調查會迫使大型科技公司調整現有的併購策略，這將危及許多新創公司和創投公司的「退場機制」──被上市櫃公司合併或收購而快速獲利的模式。從較長遠的角度來看，將對資本的流動性造成災難性的影響，而這正是過去半世紀以來維持矽谷奇蹟的重要動能之一。 此外，拜登當選後很可能將企業所得稅提高至 28%，不但將衝擊矽谷的主要科技股，且造成企業支出的額外負擔，這將影響資本市場的募資能力，對於矽谷的創新是不利的。 2.美中貿易戰，衝擊矽穀新創圈。 為期超過兩年的美中貿易戰，已讓矽谷許多科技大廠包括蘋果、微軟、亞馬遜、惠普等將生產線遷出中國，雖能取得較優惠的關稅，但面臨籌備資金、尋找合適的供應商、面臨新物流程式的挑戰等問題，短期內勢必將提高企業成本。 由於於美國對中國的投資審查趨嚴，對中國創投（VC）的投資諸多設限，使得中國對美國新創公司的投資金額在這兩年大幅下滑。 3.H-1B工作簽證，新規影響矽谷新創圈 多年來，矽谷的科技公司一直高度依賴 H-1B 非移民工作簽證，從世界各地引進優秀的技術人才，而簽證規定愈趨嚴格，將影響全球優秀人才的挹注。 總的來說，在接下來一年中，矽谷大型科技公司將面臨更嚴峻的反壟斷調查，而新創公司則需面對人才資金鏈的短缺。不變的是，針對新提出的新政策，矽穀科技公司仍會透過遊說等方式，以期減少與國際客戶貿易間的障礙。 我對這個問題有甚麼想法呢？ 我覺得，科技公司確實有一定的問題，如果你也是大型科技公司的追隨者，為了避免大跌，應該特別關注體現當今繁榮的股價、公司管理和自負的老闆。金融風險的一個領域，是蓬勃發展的高收益債券市場，其承銷標準有所下降。 還有一個原因，是任何帶有科技氣息的東西常常能歷久不衰。由 covid-19 引起的衰退，對全球經濟是沈重的打擊，但疫情的一個副作用是推升了金融市場的估值，放大已經前所未有的牛市。 各種各樣的罪過，從可疑的會計到專橫的管理行為，在繁榮之後往往會被發現。正如巴菲特的名言，「只有當潮水退去，你才能看到誰在裸泳。」 另一個要特別關注科技公司的原因，是創投的充足資金，急需回報的投資者一直在向估值高但前景遠未得到證實的企業投入資金。儘管累計虧損 130 億美元，但中國滴滴出行還能以超過1000億美元的估值成功在美國上市，更別說前陣子「特殊目的收購公司」（或稱 SPACs）的熱潮。 此外，由於增加了投票權，許多新創企業的老闆都擁有獨大的控股權，這些企業家往往對自己的能力和與之相匹配的財富，抱有彌賽亞式的信心。控制力、財富和自信的令人興奮的毒藥，可以讓老闆們拋開所有批評，將規則視為他人的事情。 以上種種，都是科技企業潛在的危機。 二，6月14日，隨著美國紐約新冠疫苗接種率上升以及疫情趨緩，Morgan Stanley的CEO James Gorman要求紐約市員工9月開始回辦公室上班。疫情過後的上班情況會怎麼改變？對企業主、員工都有什麼影響？ 國際媒體相關報導 ●Harvard Business Review哈佛商業評論：〈Figure Out the Right Hybrid Work Strategy for Your Company〉(找出對你的企業最好的混合形態工作方式) ●Economist經濟學人：〈How to pick the best days to work from home〉(如何選擇居家辦公的日子) ●The Wall Street Journal華爾街日報：〈Bosses still aren't sure remote workers have “Hustle”〉(老闆們仍然不確定，遠程工作者是否更有效率) 分析解讀 摩根斯坦利的CEO James Gorman在會議上說，鑒於紐約市約70%成年人已接種新冠疫苗，感染率降至較低水準，「如果你能夠去紐約市的餐館（就餐），你就能來辦公室」。 事實上，隨著華爾街重返辦公室的步伐加快，高盛集團（Goldman Sachs Group）高階主管早已制定計畫，要求在美國和英國的員工，六月就得回辦公室上班，加快金融業回歸疫情期前正常工作狀態的步伐。同業或其他產業的公司可能跟進。 此外，摩根大通執行長Jamie Dimon也計畫讓員工從7月初開始，輪流回辦公室工作。 在新冠疫情爆發以前，很少有老闆們想過讓員工在家工作是可行的，然而隨著防疫的「不得不」，已經實行在家工作超過一年的企業，紛紛計劃在疫情結束後給予員工更彈性的工作型態，增加一週可以在家工作的天數。 然而，並不是所有老闆都這樣想，許多老闆仍然認為，在家工作的員工忠誠度不如每天坐在辦公室的員工們。這些評論仍反應出許多老闆的真實心聲，而且也點出，在同事回到辦公室後，選擇繼續在家工作的員工，是否必須承受更多來自老闆和同儕的壓力？ 即使像臉書和推特這樣的科技巨頭，提供了員工全職在家工作的選擇，這樣的企業跟產業模式畢竟是少數，也因此，「混合模式」是目前歐美許多公司正在嘗試的新轉型，讓員工可以選擇一週內有幾天在家上班，另外幾天進辦公室工作。 資訊顧問公司Gartner 進行的研究顯示，有75%全職在家工作者跟70%採用「混合模式」的工作者表示，他們團隊可以不斷調整工作模式，達到高效率，在家工作也讓他們更願意接受新想法跟挑戰；而每天進公司的工作者，只有64%認為他們可以做到隨時調整(工作模式)。 新進員工跟認為自己屬於「外向型人格」的員工，顯然比較喜歡進辦公室的日子，認為可以「學習更多」，或有更多跟同事互動的機會。 不喜歡讓員工在家工作的老闆，可能將面對沒想像過的難題。 安永會計事務所 （Ernst & Young） 對16000名員工進行調查，發現高達9成的員工表示，希望在疫情結束後仍能自由選擇上班的時間跟地點。超過一半的員工表示，如果這種彈性被取消，他們就會考慮辭職。 同是四大會計事務所之一的普華永道 （PwC） 訪問了1500名員工，發現將近25%的員工考慮搬家到離辦公室較遠的地方，12%的人甚至早就搬了。 萬一可以彈性在家工作，誰有權選擇上班的時間跟地點？該怎麼選擇呢？ 《哈佛商業評論》過去一年來，每個月調查超過3萬名美國員工，結果顯示，其中32%的受訪者表示他們再也不想回辦公室上班，這些員工通常有小孩，住在郊區，覺得長時間通勤痛苦又浪費時間。而天秤另一端則有21%的員工表示，只想趕快回辦公室，這樣想的通常是年輕的單身員工，或小孩全都離家的空巢期高齡者。 基於這樣的調查結果，讓員工自己做決定好像最適合。然而，讓員工自己選擇的後果，暗藏了兩大隱憂。 首先，「混合式上班」第一個隱憂是，當一部份員工在家，另一部份員工在公司時，管理團隊將變得非常困難。 舉例來說，在家工作的員工可以看到坐在辦公室的員工之間的眼神交換、竊竊私語等，但是無法掌握到底發生了什麼事，沒有參與感。 此外，開完會後若有馬上要進行的工作，主管可能會傾向讓在辦公室的員工處理，畢竟可以直接看到結果，溝通也更方便，長期下來主管可能會更依賴來辦公室上班的員工，降低對在家上班的員工的信賴。而在辦公室的員工可能也會心生不滿，認為在家工作的員工比較輕鬆。 第二個隱憂，則是團隊的分化。 如果讓員工自由選擇在家工作的時間，可能來辦公室的都是單身男性員工，有小孩的女性員工則大多選擇待在家中，最後既造成刻板印象的擴大，也影響在家工作的女性員工升遷加薪的機會，因為公司長官總是感覺「看不到這些人」。 因此《哈佛商業評論》提出以下建議： 1，由經理安排大家在家工作的時間 （可保留和員工商量的彈性）。 2，盡量減少新進員工第一年在家工作的時間，以更快熟悉公司環境，增加跟同事互動的機會。 3，公司也應確保需要密集合作的團隊，每週至少有兩天進辦公室。 然而彈性進辦公室的政策，對許多企業來說仍是新的挑戰，需要由高層設想完善的規劃，搭配階段性的試驗跟修正，才有可能讓在家工作變成一種健康普及的職場文化，既不會為公司帶來損失，也不會讓在家工作者失去職場競爭力，或者背負過大的長官與同儕壓力。 這次疫情才開始嘗試讓員工在家工作的台灣企業，也可以把危機當成轉機，思考並調整未來彈性工作的機會與可能性。 但要將一般工作模式轉換成WFH，並非各行各業都適合，例如醫護、製造、交通運輸等領域，許多人受限於職業特性，要享受遠距工作帶來的自由與靈活性幾乎不可能，因此每天仍得冒著感染風險上班。 隨著近年來高速網路普及化與各式遠距溝通工具的創新，工作的時間、位置都變得越來越有彈性，然而實際選擇進行遠距辦公的上班族仍是相對少數。根據美國新聞網Axios與法國市調公司Ipsos，去年3月對1355位美國民眾做的調查，以社經地位區分，歐美疫情爆發後維持正常工作的比例，從17%到29%都有，但低社經族群僅有3%，在疫情期間能在家工作，反觀中高階社經地位族群，卻有48%的人能在家工作，顯示社經地位差異影響了疫情期間的工作型態。 另外，根據美國民調機構Pew Center去年10月的調查，在美國九大行業別的分類中，能夠WFH比例最高的是銀行、金融、不動產、會計，以及資訊科技產業；WFH比例最低的類別則是醫護、社工、服務業、製造業、零售、交通運輸等。 麥肯錫全球研究所 （McKinsey Global Institute）也發表了一份研究後疫情時代工作趨勢的報告，將工作以「接觸人群程度」為原則重新分類，以美國、中國、法國、英國、德國、印度、日本、西班牙等八個國家的勞工市場為研究對象，這8個國家擁有全球近半的人口數，佔了全球GDP的62%，探討了疫情帶來的轉變與未來趨勢。 1.愈需要接觸人群的職業 疫情結束後轉變愈大 包括第一線服務人員，如商店、銀行、郵局人員等，需要密切接觸陌生人的職位，迫於疫情和消費者行為的改變，就算疫情結束，未來轉成線上工作的能性非常高；旅館與餐廳的人力需求將減少，因為企業未來跨國出差會減少，外送與網購的機會越來越多。 以電腦為主的辦公室工作，例如醫院、法院、工廠的行政人員等，將大量轉為遠距工作；建築、營造、農業以及畜牧業等領域則不會有太大的變化，因為此類工作地點幾乎都在開放的戶外，也很少有近距離與他人接觸的機會。 2.在家工作跟線上會議，將持續 一旦遠距工作模式被保留，將改變全球企業的地緣分佈，許多企業會把辦公室從大城市搬到租金較便宜的小城市或郊區。 然而，有些工作內容即使可以遠距完成，效果卻沒有面對面完成來得好，例如談判、商業決定、面對面會議、以及新員工訓練等等。 對航空公司來說，最大的營利來源原本是商業旅行，或許再也回不去從前的盛況，各大航空公司、機場跟旅館的營利將大受打擊。 疫情中冉冉升起的明日之星，則是各種電商。電商的成長速度是疫情開始前的2到5倍。 3.企業加速使用AI跟自動化 麥肯錫於2020年7月份對800位高級管理人員進行的全球調查中，3分之2表示，他們正在增加自動化和人工智慧的投資。許多公司在倉庫、電話服務中心和工廠都部署了機器人，以降低工作場所的員工密度，並應對大量需求。 麥肯錫的研究報告也發現，愈是需要跟人群密切接觸的產業，為了減少接觸以順利防疫，愈會加速自動化系統跟人工智慧的應用。 4.產業消長，低薪職位成長有限 麥肯錫全球研究所預估，疫情結束後，餐廳服務生、商店店員、辦公室行政人員遭受的衝擊會最大，失業率 Powered by Firstory Hosting

Wilks Family Director, Ian L. McHarg Center Billy Fleming is the Wilks Family Director of the Ian L. McHarg Center in the Weitzman School of Design, a senior fellow with Data for Progress, and co-director of the "climate + community project." His fellowship with Data for Progress has focused on the built environment impacts of climate change, and resulted most prominently in the publication of low-carbon public housing policy briefs tied to the “Green New Deal for Public Housing Act” introduced in 2019. In his role at the McHarg Center, Billy is co-editor of the forthcoming book An Adaptation Blueprint (Island Press, 2020), co-editor and co-curator of the book and now internationally-traveling exhibit Design With Nature Now (Lincoln, 2019), and author of the forthcoming Drowning America: The Nature and Politics of Adaptation (Penn Press, expected 2021). Billy is also the lead author of the recently published and widely acclaimed “The 2100 Project: An Atlas for the Green New Deal.” He is also a co-author of the Indivisible Guide (2016). Along with Daniel Aldana Cohen, Billy co-directs the climate + community project (ccp), which works to connect the demands of the climate justice movement to the policy development process. ccp aim to do this by developing new, investment-forward public policy proposals under the framework of the Decade of the Green New Deal that target the intersection of climate justice and the built environment. Its focus has been on foregrounding the role of public housing, public schools, public transportation, public power, public land, and public works in local, state, national, and international climate policy discourse. This work has already resulted in applied policy research and model legislation in the housing, schools, transportation, and electricity sectors, filling a critical gap between the demands of the climate justice movement, the appetite for substantial new policy content from sitting legislators, and the desire of a rising generation of scholars to contribute to their work (including Olufemi Taiwo, Akira Drake Rodridguez, Yonah Freemark, Thea Riofrancos, and Shalanda Baker). His writing on climate, disaster, and design has also been published in The Guardian, The Atlantic, CityLab, Dissent Magazine, Houston Chronicle, Jacobin, Places Journal, and Science for the People Magazine, and he’s frequently asked to weigh in on the infrastructure and built environment implications of climate change, as well as candidate and congressional climate plans, by major climate reporters and congressional staff. His research has been supported by grants from the Lincoln Institute for Land Policy, Pew Center for Arts and Heritage, William Penn Foundation,Summit Foundation, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Hewlett Foundation, and by a variety of sponsors in the design and building industry. Prior to joining Penn, he worked as a landscape architect, city planner, organizer, and, later, in the Obama Administration’s White House Domestic Policy Council. He holds a bachelor of landscape architecture (University of Arkansas), master of community and regional planning (University of Texas), and a doctorate of city and regional planning (University of Pennsylvania).
Approximately, one in four Americans made money over the last 12 months by using their personal computers or other devices connected to the internet. The Pew Research Center, an independent research group in Washington, found that people are using the Internet to find extra work. They go online to sell things such as used books and furniture or they offer to provide services such as babysitting, house cleaning or computer repairs. The Pew Center asked people if they make money from the Internet or computing devices, and, if so, what they do to earn their pay. The answers provided the findings of Pew's new report on what has been called the “Gig Economy.” Pew found that income earned on the Internet can come in many forms. Many Americans said they used their computers to do extra work. About five percent of Americans said they did online computer work over the last year.

One in five Americans live in a multigenerational household — that means at least two separate adult generations share the space. Think grandparents, parents, kids, maybe aunts and uncles … all living under the same roof. In recent years, the number of these households has been on the rise. Living this way saves money, makes childcare easier, and can create strong family bonds. But multigenerational housing can also have negative effects, especially when quarters are cramped. It has played a role in the spread of the coronavirus, made it difficult for some families to quarantine, and put elderly people at risk. On this episode of The Pulse, we explore how multigenerational housing impacts our health. Urban Institute sociologist Claudia Solari explains the health impacts of growing up in overcrowded housing, along with some possible solutions. We talk with Richard Fry, an economist and senior researcher at the Pew Center for Research, about the trend of multigenerational living and why more young adults are opting to live with their parents. Reporter Jad Sleiman tells two stories of families striving to give their loved ones a “good death” at home.
In 1763 twenty indigenous people in the colony of Pennsylvania were murdered by an armed gang. The victims had been a peaceful group of Conestogas, who had been wrongfully accused of aiding in violent raids against the settlers. The infamous attack would go down in history as the Conestoga massacre. However, almost immediately after the murders the meaning of the event became the source of a fierce war in the press. The so-called "pamphlet war" saw two competing groups trying to sell contrasting interpretations of the attack. The perspective that was inevitably left out of these pamphlets, and the "official" historical record, was the indigenous perspective. The new graphic novel Ghost River: The Fall and Rise of Conestoga seeks to remedy that by telling the story with the focus squarely on the Conestoga people. In this episode Sebastian is joined by the creative team behind Ghost River, Weshoyot Alvitre, Lee Francis IV, and Will Fenton, to discuss the graphic novel and how fake news can become fake history. Tune in and find out how hand ground paints, blood memory, and Ben Franklin's biggest political defeat all play a role in the story.Read Ghost River for FREE here: https://read.ghostriver.org/Thank you to our guests!Lee Francis 4 (Author): https://redplanetbooksncomics.com/Weshoyot Alvitre (Illustrator): https://www.weshoyot.com/Will Fenton (Editor): https://www.willfenton.com/Ghost River: The Fall and Rise of the Conestoga is part of Redrawing History: Indigenous Perspectives on Colonial America, a project of the Library Company of Philadelphia supported by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.

Jon Huntsman returns to the podcast to talk China and what he learned as Ambassador to America’s greatest trading partner and emerging rival. For the first time in centuries, China is a leader on the world stage. So how do Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party view their role as a global player? What moves are they making to change the geopolitical landscape across Asia and Europe? What is their endgame with the United States – and how should we react? Jon Huntsman is the only ambassador to ever serve in both China (2009 – 2011) and Russia (2017 – 2019). He was the Governor of Utah (Jan. 2005 – Aug. 2009), served as the Chair of the Western Governors Association, and under his leadership Utah was ranked as the best managed state in America by Pew Center on the States.

He joined Dan to break down the complex foreign policy issues involving the two countries. What’s the truth behind the Michael Flynn investigation and what would an actual Russian intelligence operation look like? How does the average Russian view America and their own country’s place in the world? Why has Vladimir Putin’s persona become so deeply entwined with their cultural identity? What is Putin’s worldview – is he Peter the Great or Ivan the Terrible – and what can we expect to happen to Russia when he does exit the stage? Jon Huntsman is the only ambassador to ever serve in both China (2009 – 2011) and Russia (2017 – 2019), as well as Singapore (1992 – 1993). He was the Governor of Utah (Jan. 2005 – Aug. 2009), served as the Chair of the Western Governors Association, and under his leadership Utah was ranked as the best managed state in America by Pew Center on the States.

This week in the pharmacy we have the poet CAConrad! The poems we prescribe and talk about in this episode can be found here: Sophie Robinson’s “biggest loser”: https://www.lambdaliterary.org/features/poetry-spotlight/10/16/a-poem-by-sophie-robinson/ Emily Dickinson’s “Remorse – is Memory – Awake”: https://www.poemhunter.com/best-poems/emily-dickinson/remorse-is-memory-awake/ CAConrad grew up in Pennsylvania, where they helped to support their single mother during Conrad’s difficult youth. Influenced by Eileen Myles, Audre Lorde, Alice Notley, and Emily Dickinson, Conrad writes poems in which stark images of sex, violence, and defiance build a bridge between fable and confession. In a 2010 interview with Luke Degnan for BOMBMagazine’s BOMBlog, Conrad discussed their approach to poetry, which focuses on process and on engaging the permeability of the border between self and other. “Ultimately, I want my (Soma)tic poetry and poetics to help us realize at least two things. That everything around us has a creative viability with the potential to spur new thinking and imaginative output and that the most necessary ingredient to bringing the sustainable, humane changes we need and want for our world requires creativity in all lives, every single day.” Conrad is the author of seven books, the latest is titled While Standing in Line for Death (Wave Books, 2017). They are a 2015 Headlands Art Fellow, and has also received fellowships from Lannan Foundation, MacDowell Colony, Banff, Ucross, RADAR, and the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage. They conduct workshops on (Soma)tic Poetry and Ecopoetics. — Intro music: Of Montreal’s Knight Rider; outro music is also by Of Montreal (The Party’s Crashing Us)

Today Craig spoke with Ken and Matt on the WGAN Morning News about a number of subjects including following up on their discussion of dogs and Craig told them about his new rescue dog, a Great Dane named Velma. Then they got into the Technology and Ken mentioned he was going to be traveling soon and wanted to know how he could protect his data while traveling. Then Matt asked about the new eye-scanning technology that is being tested now that can identify if you are lying. Bottom line it still relies on your physical response and can still be manipulated by the biases of the tester.

So there's a litter he's been looking at and trying to figure out which dog that his kids want. And he and his wife one can, what name are they going to have it? So they were talking about that before I got on that the air this morning. So I had the guide get on and straighten them out. Oh, right. Isn't that always the case, though, somehow. And we talked about a couple of topics. We talked a little bit about putting your data at risk when you travel. There's a great article I have up on my website, you probably want to check out. But we talked a little bit about it. And a little bit about the VPN situation. And Matt had a quick question about that eye-scanning a lie detector as well. We've got our new information data starting to come out we're sending out this week, we're almost done. Wow, talking about a labor of love. Almost done with putting together this whole new special report system for you. You guys are going to love it. And hopefully that's going to happen this week. We've got it all planned out.

And we found this other stuff that a dog food store we brought the dog in and they had a food tasting for Velma. And they had like eight different feeds of foods out there for her I'm used to using the word "feed" for the chickens. So I this feed and she got to try the different the different foods and which one that she liked. And then they had this treat tree and she found a treat you really like and so we said okay, well we'll track it. It's like a pound for pound it's like eight times as much as pie as the big box. Right and but she only eats about an eight says much of it. So worth something. We felt the same price and she looks so much better. And she has more energy. Unknown 8:10 How about some of your chickens are getting Unknown 8:13 slowly he actually got into some chicken because we had we had you know dead ones. We had some and she found the bones in the trash and stuff and she pulled them out and started eating them. But um. Yeah, but you got to be careful chicken bones with dogs. Unknown 8:31 Yes, you do. Unknown 8:32 Yes you do Unknown 8:35 with what Danes turkey gives them because one of our Danes got into the turkey carcass after Thanksgiving and bloody diarrhea not a good thing to talk about eating breakfast Let's move on. And that's animal Unknown 8:49 answers Unknown 8:52 animal expertise talking about getting developers Unknown 9:00 ology I'm going to be traveling Yeah if I don't catch pneumonia from my wife, or cold from Matt, and a week and a half. So what should I do to prevent the risk of my data? Or data, Unknown 9:14 data? Or data? Yeah, when you're traveling, etc. I had a couple of questions from like, you guys know, I have a weekend radio show that I of course podcast as well that you can find on my website. But Unknown 9:30 oh, yeah, there you go. Slash iTunes, if you want the past, but I know you guys are also podcasting my segments here. Although people who are listening for the tech today might be slightly disappointed. But the the the whole thing about traveling and data and the show on Saturday was about VPN and trying to keep your data safe the VPN. And of course, we've talked before about how Facebook kind of fool people into thinking using their VPN would make them safe. So I got a great article up on there about traveling and what you have to be careful for because everybody tries to hop on to Wi-Fi. Now, we don't do it with our phones, like we used to. Nowadays, we're doing it with our laptops, because our phones have great data plans, right? Almost everybody. And we all know that come next year, 2020 data is going to get even better. But we've seen breaches in the hotel chains. We know about breaches that have been happening at airports, even breaches of airplanes systems while they are in flight, and where people took them over the Wi-Fi that's onboard the planes. And we're using that to hack into people on the plane who are using the Wi-Fi. Now the good news is the planes main systems used for the flight controls are a different system than they're using for the Wi-Fi. So that's very, very good. But according to a new Pew Center research poll security poll that was done, in the study, they found that even though there's been all these encrypted networks and websites using encryption, and that's made the internet safer. In general, there's just no such thing as being too careful. So be careful with your credit cards. Use those little anti-scanning wallets that you can get. So the RF IDs can't be scanned, use devices built-in safeguards, the fingerprints of some print on your phone, whether it's a Samsung, or an apple, that some print reader does tend to be a lot safer, particularly on Samsung than the new facial recognition system. So use the thumbprint on it's available in no one to use 12 digit passcode pin, like how to make sure your devices are encrypted, that standard with Apple. And it's absolutely available for pretty much every other manufacturer out there, including the Android just turn that stuff on, don't connect to public Wi-Fi, if you can avoid it, connect to your cell phone. And your cell phone probably has data sharing on it. So you can tell it from your cell phone, etc. etc. You know, your rental cars, your Bluetooth, when you connect to that rental car, that car will usually upload your contact list and things and you don't want that for the next guy to come around and use or the people who are taking care of the cars to steal it. Because it's going to have your home address in there. It's going to have all kinds of stuff. And you got to be careful with that too. So either doesn't connect to the Bluetooth in your car or make sure you delete it. When you leave your car at the airport. delete your phone. First of all, your data goes away. Just all kinds of great tips. And again, they are up there on the website Unknown 12:43 talking to Craig Peterson, our animal answer man, who's here occasionally giving us an update about technology. Craig, am I going to have trouble lying to people in the future? Oh, this is this is a concern for me. Unknown 12:56 Yeah, Unknown 12:57 well, if you are a politician, you might want to really be careful, okay, because there's this new Blade Runner technology. And what's really kind of interesting about this from my standpoint to is Mark Cuban's, the guy that founded this company back in 2014, it's called the ID tag and it's kind of like a polygraph for the I have words of it, but it's about 1510 15% Unknown 13:27 more accurate according to the manufacturer, it's already in use 500 customers 40 countries but what it does is it looks at your eyes and watches for the response of your pupils in your eye as you are being interviewed by someone and the whole idea is if you lie your eyes going to react in a certain way It only takes about 30 minutes as opposed to a couple of hours for a normal polygraph. And I've got to say both cases polygraph and this new eye lie detector is not 100% the people who are administering the test are going to introduce their own personal biases on what's going on. But you know, give a little bit of time because ultimately you're going to see something like this at us by our friends, TSA, it's already been used by some of the embassies out there and who knows, we'll see just how accurate it really is. But it's about $25,000 to buy one of these and that makes it a lot cheaper than some of the polygraph equipment that's out there and might be good for just basic research of crimes and potential criminals Unknown 14:47 are joining us every Wednesday at 730.

Today Craig spoke with Ken and Matt on the WGAN Morning News about some subjects including following up on their discussion of dogs and Craig told them about his new rescue dog, a Great Dane named Velma. Then they got into the Technology, and Ken mentioned he was going to be traveling soon and wanted to know how he could protect his data while traveling. Then Matt asked about the new eye-scanning technology that is being tested now that can identify if you are lying. Bottom line it still relies on your physical response and can even be manipulated by the biases of the tester.

All right. This morning, I was on with our friends cannon, Matt. And Matt is looking to get a little puppy dog. So there's a litter he's been looking at and trying to figure out which dog that his kids want. And he and his wife one can, what name are they going to have it? So they were talking about that before I got on that the air this morning. So I had the guide get on and straighten them out. Oh, right. Isn't that always the case, though, somehow. And we talked about a couple of topics. We talked a little bit about putting your data at risk when you travel. There's a great article I have up on my website, you probably want to check out. But we talked a little bit about it. And a little bit about the VPN situation. And Matt had a quick question about that i scanning a lie detector as well. We've got our new information data starting to come out we're sending out this week, we're almost done. Wow, talking about a labor of love. Almost done with putting together this whole new special report system for you. You guys are going to love it. And hopefully that's going to happen this week. We've got it all planned out. And we've been working on it every day for the last week or so. Because it's not just this one special report on how to lock down your credit. But we're talking about a whole series of them. We've got 50 of them in the pipeline right now. So we're trying to make this whole system work with a special founding member of my insider portal, which is going to be absolutely free for this basic membership forever. But it's a beta thing. We're going to try a few things out. This is going to be fun, I think. And we've already got a couple of people who are in the alpha test already. So you know, kudos to you know who you are. And those people will be in beta that respond for this latest special report on how to lock down your credit for free and keep an eye out for that. That should be out this week. Again, if you're not on my email list, you already know how just rewind Craig peters.com slash subscribe, right? We got all of that here today. So off we go with Ken and Matt. And we'll be back at this weekend, if not before maybe with a couple more videos. So here we go. Unknown 4:01 And we are back again. It's time for Greg Peterson, our tech guru to join us he does so at 738 every Wednesday. This Wednesday being no exception Unknown 4:10 during our you know, except to that 738 Unknown 4:13 Good Mornings whether we got a new puppy to well actually sees three and a half years old.

And we found this other stuff that a dog food store we brought the dog in and they had a food tasting for Velma. And they had like eight different feeds of foods out there for her I'm used to feed and check it so I this feed and she got to try the different the different foods and and which one that she liked. And then they had this treat tree, and she found a treat you really like and so we said okay, well we'll take it. It's like, pound for pound it's like eight times as much as the big box. Right and but she only eats about an eighth as much of it. So, worth something. We felt the same price and she looks so much better. And she has more energy. Unknown 8:10 How about some of your chickens are getting Unknown 8:13 slowly he actually got into some chicken because we had we had you know dead ones. We had some and she found the bones in the trash and stuff and she pulled them out and started eating them. But um. Yeah, but you got to be careful chicken bones with dogs. Unknown 8:31 Yes you do. Unknown 8:32 Yes you do Unknown 8:35 with what Danes turkey gives them because one of our Danes got into the turkey carcass after Thanksgiving and bloody diarrhea, not a good thing to talk about eating breakfast Let's move on. And that's animal Unknown 8:49 answers Unknown 8:52 animal expertise talking about getting developers Unknown 9:00 technology I'm going to be traveling Yeah if I don't catch pneumonia from my wife, or cold from Matt, and a week and a half. So what should I do to prevent risk of my data? Or data, Unknown 9:14 data? Or data? Yeah, when you're traveling, etc. I had a couple of questions from like, you guys know, I have a weekend radio show that I of course podcast as well that you can find on my website. But Unknown 9:30 oh, yeah, there you go. Slash iTunes, if you want the past, but I know you guys are also podcasting my segments here. Although people who are listening for the tech today might be slightly disappointed. But the the the whole thing about traveling and data and the show on Saturday was about VPN and trying to keep your data safe the VPN. And of course, we've talked before about how Facebook kind of fool people into thinking using their VPN would make them safe. So I got a great article up on there about traveling and what you have to be careful for, because everybody tries to hop on to Wi Fi. Now, we don't do it with our phones, like we used to. Nowadays, we're doing it with our laptops, because our phones have great data plans, right? Almost everybody. And we all know that come next year, 2020 data is going to get even better. But we've seen breaches in the hotel chains. We know about breaches that have been have happening at airports, even breaches of airplanes systems while they are in flight, and where people took them over the Wi Fi that's onboard the planes. And we're using that to hack into people on the plane who are using the Wi Fi. Now the good news is the planes main systems used for the flight controls are different system than they're using for the Wi Fi. So that's very, very good. But according to a new Pew Center research poll security poll that was done in study, they found that even though there's been all these encrypted networks and websites using encryption, and that's made the internet safer. In general, there's just no such thing as being too careful. So be careful with your credit cards. Use those little anti scanning wallets that you can get. So the RF IDs can't be scanned, use devices built in safeguards, the fingerprints of some print on your phone, whether it's a Samsung, or an apple, that some print reader does tend to be a lot safer, particularly on Samsung than the new facial recognition system. So use the thumbprint on it's available in no one to use 12 digit pass code pin, like how to make sure you devices are encrypted, that standard with Apple. And it's absolutely available for pretty much every other manufacturer out there, including the Android just turn that stuff on, don't connect to public Wi Fi, if you can avoid it, connect to your cell phone. And your cell phone probably has data sharing on it. So you can tell it from your cell phone, etc. etc. You know, your rental cars, your Bluetooth, when you connect to that rental car, that car will usually upload your contact list and things and you don't want that for the next guy to come around and use or the people who are taking care of the cars to steal it. Because it's going to have your home address in there. It's going to have all kinds of stuff. And you got to be careful with that too. So either don't connect to the Bluetooth in your car, or make sure you delete it. When you leave your car at the airport. delete your phone. First of all, your data goes away. Just all kinds of great tips. And again, they are up there on the website Unknown 12:43 talking to Craig Peterson, our animal answers man who's here occasionally giving us an update about technology. Craig, am I going to have trouble lying to people in the future? Oh, this is this is a concern for me. Unknown 12:56 Yeah, Unknown 12:57 well, if if you are a public Titian, you might want to really be careful, okay, because there's this new Blade Runner technology. And what's really kind of interesting about this from my standpoint to is Mark Cuban's, the guy that founded this company back in 2014, it's called the ID tag, and it's kind of like a polygraph for the I have words of it, but it's about 1510 15% Unknown 13:27 more accurate according to the manufacturer, it's already in use 500 customers 40 countries but what it does is it looks at your eyes and watches for the response of your pupils in your eye as you are being interviewed by someone and the whole idea is if you lie your eyes going to react in a certain way It only takes about 30 minutes as opposed to a couple of hours for a normal polygraph. And I've got to say both cases polygraph and this new I lie detector is not 100% the people who are administering the test are going to introduce their own personal biases on what's going on. But you know, give a little bit of time because ultimately you're going to see something like this at us by our friends, TSA, it's already been used by some of the embassies out there and who knows, we'll see just how accurate it really is. But it's about $25,000 to buy one of these and that makes it a lot cheaper than some of the polygraph equipment that's out there and might be good for just basic research of crimes and potential criminals Unknown 14:47 are joining us every Wednesday at 730. And if you do have any questions about Great Danes or pets, feel free to go to his website. Craig Peterson, the dog whisperer just click that for joining us. We'll talk to you next week. Unknown 15:04 Take care guys. Thanks. All right. Unknown 15:07 I would never have a great day. What do you say f huge giant Unknown 15:15 I could say is leaving a big can. Alright everybody.

Stat: $764 billion. That’s how much the arts contribute to the U.S. economy each year. Story: The creative process for artists can seem mysterious—what sparks an artist’s initial idea and how does that idea become reality? Host Dan LeDuc talks to Pew Arts Fellow, and Pulitzer Prize- and Grammy Award-winning classical composer Jennifer Higdon about her creative process, and also interviews Paula Marincola from the Pew Center for Arts & Heritage about supporting the arts.
This week, we bring you the live recording from singer, songwriter, and scholar Gelsey Bell's talkback with world renown composer and director Heiner Goebbels. Frankfurt-based composer and director Heiner Goebbels has had his work produced around the globe including his native Germany, Switzerland, England, New York and now Philadelphia. He taught for nearly 20 years at the Institute for Applied Theatre Studies in Giessen (1999-2018) and served as president of the Theatre Academy Hessen for twelve years (2006-2018). He was the artistic director of the International Festival of the Arts Ruhrtriennale for two years and received the first appointment for the newly established Georg Büchner Professorship in 2018. Two of his works, Stifters Dinge and Songs of Wars I Have Seen, were a part of the 2018 Fringe Festival. Major support for Stifters Dinge and Songs of Wars I Have Seen has been provided to FringeArts by The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage.
The ecological challenges ahead of us are of epic proportions. We can learn a lot by studying successful revolutions that have come before us. In this episode, you’ll hear 10 lessons for Eco-Leaders from the struggle to overcome apartheid in South Africa, as told in the movie Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. [1:00] Our education systems don’t teach us about representation or revolution. [1:15] Historically, there is a tendency for power to be concentrated in the hands of the few, at the expense of the many. [1:30] It is no less of a challenge than overcoming slavery, genocide, or apartheid. [2:00] You can’t compare 1-to-1 the suffering and injustice of apartheid to the collapse of ecological systems, but there are some similarities. [2:15] What could be more unjust than taking away the opportunity for future generations to inhabit a liveable world. [2:30] We can learn a lot from studying how huge entrenched problems were overcome. [2:50] Takeaways from the film: Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom [3:00] Not on Netflix. Check the library or wherever you watch movies. [3:15] 10 Lessons for Eco-Leaders from the film Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom [3:30] 1. Individually we are weak. Together we are strong. (with open hand vs closed fist image) [4:00] 2. Welcome the challenges. They will help you become who you need to be. [4:45] 3. Remind people that the end result you desire is inevitable. [5:25] 4. Don’t turn on each other. [6:40] 5. Allies matter. [7:00] 6. Follow the money. [7:50] 7. Leaders lead. [8:30] 8. Peace is the only way. [9:00] 9. Vote. [9:45]10. Don’t give up.

I keep having the same exchange with my seriously Catholic friends whenever Pope Francis comes up in conversation. It goes something like this: we were enthused about the initial days of the election (he was saying things about evangelization that needed saying, he encouraged us to get out of “mindset ruts” and bring the gospel to the peripheries since the periphery dwellers aren’t knocking on the church door) and then….something happened to the enthusiasm. Troubling things were said during airplane interviews (which have become more frequent), homilies began to sound more and more political, then official documents began to contain ambiguities and it became increasingly hard to domesticate the problem by blaming “the media” for “misquoting the Pope again.” Enter Philip Lawler. Lawler is known for his incisive, non-nonsense journalism. But Lawler is no muck-raking, axe-grinding ideologue. His work epitomizes the term, “seasoned veteran.” He was the first layman to edit The Pilot, the official newspaper of the Archdiocese of Boston; he’s a Harvard alumnus, and has covered Catholic affairs for 30 years. The year Pope Francis was elected, Lawler co-wrote a warm tribute book to the new Pontiff, A Call to Serve: Pope Francis and the Catholic Future http://amzn.to/2HhAroh That was five years back. A number of years ago, he wrote a book about a difficult topic—what happened to the Catholic Church in Boston before and after the 2002 scandals exploded—titled The Faithful Departed: The Collapse of Boston’s Catholic Culture http://amzn.to/2FpXuwm He has a new book on an even more difficult topic: an extended attempt at contextualizing and understanding the doctrinal confusions have seeped into the way in which the Holy Father leads, teaches, promotes, and demotes. How to discuss them without disrespecting the person and the office of the Sovereign Pontiff? Of course, there are plenty of “rad Trads” who despise Pope Francis and have devoted themselves to attacking him since his election on March 13, 2013. That’s both unfortunate and predictable, since Pope Francis’s three predecessors didn’t pass muster with the (mercifully small) clique of anti-Vatican II activists, either. Lost Shepherd: How Pope Francis Is Misleading His Flock http://amzn.to/2tpGS6D, despite its provocative title, is a well-researched account of a papacy that, five years after it began, has untold numbers of orthodox Catholics scratching their heads. In case you’re wondering, no, Lawler is not accusing the Pope of heresy nor does he think the Holy Father is an anti-pope. Like all serious Catholics, he prays daily for the pope and earnestly wants him to succeed as a teacher and spiritual leader. It’s not a book Lawler even wanted to write. A recent Pew Center poll http://www.pewforum.org/2018/03/06/pope-francis-still-highly-regarded-in-u-s-but-signs-of-disenchantment-emerge/ reflect a troubling drop in favorability among Catholics polled since he was first elected. Not that the barque of Peter is sinking, at least not yet, but the winds have gotten stiffer and the waves bigger. Seems to be more like rudder damage. In the past few months, there has been a sea change in Catholic media regarding coverage of the Pope’s personnel decisions and the ambiguities within certain documents such as, perhaps the highest-profile example, the Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia, (“The Joy of Love”) the fruit of a seemingly rigged Synod. The sense of unease is growing, and despite the lingering fear to even bring it up, mainstream outlets in the Catholic media world, from EWTN to the UK’s Catholic Herald, Catholic World Report, The Catholic Thing, and others have begun to speak up about this with greater boldness. As long as the tone and content is respectful, Catholics have the right and duty under Canon 212.3 to speak honestly about matters of leadership involving the good of the Church. Interestingly, Catholics almost relish castigating popes of the past (start the list with the Borgia and Medici Popes) as “scoundrels” or worse. This is done to emphasize that the Holy Spirit protects the universal Church in a particular way through the office of the Successor of Peter, who is protected against teaching something contrary to faith and morals. Today, there is an unhealthy papalolatry in the air that takes the form of taboo against saying even mildly critical things about what a modern pope has said or done, things, of course, that don’t rise to the level of infallibility. A kind of ultramontane loyalty is attached to everything a pope does no matter how troublesome or controversial. It’s not helpful. Neither is staying silent. You don’t have to agree with all of Lawler’s interpretations or conclusions to see that there is a massive amount of discord in the Church today and that her visible head on earth is not doing much to “confirm the faith of the brethren” as the invisible Head said to His first Vicar in Luke 22:32. In this week’s interview—in a spirit of genuine concern for clarity and filial respect for the person and the office of the Pontiff, who is ever in our prayers—we “go there.” In this episode, you will learn: How to understand that the human side of the papacy does not invalidate it A sense of balance and historical proportion when assessing Pope Francis’ leadership style Why comparing one pope with another is not a helpful exercise The major “upside” to the current papacy—and the opportunity it provides Catholics How Jesus is still faithful to His bride, the Church in the midst of every crisis Many examples of documented statements, pastoral priorities, and political biases that have characterized the management of the Holy See since 2013 Resources mentioned in this episode: Lost Shepherd: How Pope Francis Is Misleading His Flock by Philip Lawler A Call to Serve: Pope Francis and the Catholic Future by Philip Lawler and Stefan von Kempis The Faithful Departed: The Collapse of Boston’s Catholic Culture by Philip Lawler The Patrick Coffin Show is 100% listener supported.

A survey of opinion on the Middle East brings good news to Israel and bad news for Democrats. The Pew Center asked the question: “In the dispute between Israel and the Palestinians, who do you sympathize with?” Among every gender, every racial or religious group, every age or educational level, Americans strongly sided with Israelis. Only one political group—self-identified Democrats—split nearly evenly between sympathies for Israel and the Palestinians—with 27 percent with the Jewish state, 26 percent for the Palestinians. By contrast, Republicans backed Israeli by a lopsided ratio of 13 to 1, while Independents favored the Jewish state by nearly 3 to 1. What puts Democrats so badly out of the mainstream? In part, it’s the moral relativism that’s infected contemporary liberalism, leaving the left reluctant ever to say one side’s right and the other’s wrong. Moreover, Israelis and Americans share a reverence for three institutions many liberals instinctively distrust: the military, business and traditional faith.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

http://rumiforum.org/latest-trends-in-global-religious-restrictions/ On March 31st, 2015 Peter Henne of the Pew Research Center presented the Global Religious Restrictions report’s findings on the trends of global religious restrictions. Paul Marshall of the Hudson Institute joined him for an engaging discussion on the significance of the report. In February 2015, the Pew Research Center released its sixth report on Global Religious Restrictions. These reports analyze trends in religious restrictions and hostilities around the world through a rigorous and innovative quantitative analysis. The latest report highlights a general decline in social hostilities even as a significant portion of the world’s population remains in highly restrictive countries. It also points to widespread harassment of Jews, as well as other religious groups, and restrictions on religious minorities. Peter Henne, a Research Associate with the Pew Research Center and primary researcher on the report, will present findings from the report and answer questions. Paul Marshall, a Senior Fellow at the Hudson Institute, will respond to the report’s findings and moderate the discussion. EVENT SUMMARY: Peter Henne argues that freedom of religion has been one of the key issues in the international community after World War II and since then has been a very contested issue on the global platform. The research he produced with the Pew Center is an attempt to create a new way of studying, measuring and understanding religious freedom. Instead of focusing on measuring the amounts of religious freedom as a concept, this particular series of reports analyzes to an extent of where governments and societies restrict religious beliefs and practices.The report relies on identifying certain laws and policies which might infringe upon religion, in addition to the social dimension in this measure. To accomplish this, two indexes that they developed are used: the Government Restrictions Index and the Social Hostilities Index–that gauge government restrictions on religion and social hostilities involving religion in nearly 200 countries and territories. Ultimately, with the results created by these indexes each country is assigned a score as an indicator of how “free” that state is deemed to be. The initial report created in 2009, established a baseline for each country and the five major geographic regions of the globe. From this baseline, the report is very valuable in the way it provides an analysis of the changes in the level of restrictions and hostilities in these countries (alternatively regions) over a period of time. In the 6th published report since 2009, Henne declared that the center found a slight drop in social hostilities around the world however, government restrictions have remained in relatively stable conditions. 77% of the world’s population lives in restrictive country conditions (taking into account the levels of both government and social religious restrictions). China tops the list of offenders for its multiple persecutions against Buddhism, Christianity and Islam, with Pakistan coming close behind for its bans on Muslim dress and literature, its religion-related terrorism, multiple cases of forced conversions and mob violence. Some countries surveyed under the report have seen an increase in religious restrictions either perpetrated by social groups or the government. For example Turkey who, on top of the restrictions already put into place against Muslims, have experienced new government policies and laws that increase hostilities throughout the country. On the other hand Russia for example, has experienced high spikes in social violence with attacks against Muslims, and mob violence led by militant groups. The Pew report looks at to which groups were specifically harassed because of restrictions on religion and to what extent they were harassed by social or governmental conditions. Through their research they found that violence conducted against Judaism has notably increased steadily since the first report in 2009. Those who practice Judaism are harassed in 77 countries around the world, specifically experiencing an increase in European countries. When the center broke down the numbers, it was shown that the levels of harassment were at an all-time 7 year high, and that Jews were mainly being harassed on a social level rather than by state governments. Another interesting trend that the research uncovered was the big area of harassment conducted between both Christians and Muslim. Christians are harassed in 120 countries out of the 200 surveyed, and Muslims are harassed in 99 of those 200 countries around the world. Again, when the numbers are broken down further we find a very intriguing difference between the harassment experienced by both groups. Christians are found to often be more harassed by state governments, where 85 reported countries harbor restrictions against the religion and 71 countries harass the group on a social level. For Muslims it is the complete reverse in terms of religious restrictions. 84 countries are reported to harass Muslims on a social level, and 73 of those countries have laws or policies in place that restrict the religion. These distinctions allow us to gain insight into what types of harassment is occurring, and where in the world we are finding these kinds of restrictions. *It is important to note the findings by the Pew Center have shown that religious restrictions affect different kinds of groups around the world, other than the above mentioned examples. Further on in his discussion, Peter Henne presented a new analysis that relates to contemporary issues in concerns of highlighting government and social restrictions that target minority groups. Some examples of factors the center examined was the banning of certain religious groups (the Falun Gong/Falun Dafa in China), attempts at trying to remove a certain religious group, development of hate/extremist groups, groups trying to control other religious groups, violent acts against the minority groups etc. Restrictions against religious minority groups are present throughout the world in where ⅓ of countries examined contain governmental restrictions, with ⅔ of the countries in the report that contain social hostilities within their borders. All of the countries that experienced a significant increase in anti-minority hostilities are not isolated cases Henne says, but rather tend to go hand-in-hand with the broader restrictions that are placed on a given society outside of the context of religion. By looking at the median level of restrictions in different regions around the world where high levels of government and social hostilities are happening the report found that the Middle East/North African region topped the list as the most restrictive, with the Asian-Pacific region in 2nd and Europe taking the 3rd spot. While religious freedom is a very complex topic to measure, the report is aims to be an information source that is primarily objective in nature and a source that can be used when engaging in debate about this very diverse and complicated issue. The report, Henne mentioned does not go into the strict causes of why religious restrictions are changing in certain countries, or why restrictions are happening where they are, nor did the report address the broader economic context of each country–which could, he suggested play a role in affecting religious restrictions. The Pew Research Center’s work on global restrictions on religion is part of the Pew-Templeton Global Religious Futures project, which analyzes religious change and its impact on societies around the world. The initiative is funded by The Pew Charitable Trusts and the John Templeton Foundation. This report is a collaborative effort based on the input and analysis of the following individuals from the Pew Research Center’s Religion & Public Life Project.

You cannot be what you cannot see, they say. We all saw an economy in crisis a few years ago. Now, in between fear of another crash and pain in a supposed recovery, many Americans are frustrated. Last year, researchers with the Pew Center found that 78 percent of Americans believe that too much power is concentrated in a few huge companies. Sixty two percent believe our current economic system is rigged in favor of the most powerful. But what else is possible? At GRITtv we've always been most curious about that. What can everyday people do, not just to survive in the world we know, with its poverty, pollution and war, but to create one with the real food, good fellowship and rewarding livelihoods that make life fabulous. Worker owned cooperatives, where workers are offered a share in the company and a say in decision-making are one way to redistribute economic power. The successful ones have a good track record of reducing inequality and building local asset. But co-ops aren't easy, and they aren't for everybody. A year ago, GRITtv and TESA, the Toolbox for Education and Social Action teamed up to look more closely at what it takes for a worker owned cooperative to succeed. The result is Own the Change: Building Economic Democracy One Worker Co-op at a Time a short documentary featuring conversations with worker-owners from Union Cab; Ginger Moon; Arizmendi Bakery, New Era Windows; and more. Own the Change gives an overview of what a worker co-op is, how it can transform lives and communities, and the realities of starting one. In addition to the film, we have created a series of educational resources to be used alongside this documentary. Interested? Just as people creating co-operatives are trying to do business differently, we believe in doing media differently. Would building democracy and working together be easier if our media gave us as many visions of people collaborating as they do of people competing? What if we were encouraged to participate as much we are pushed to purchase? And what if we measured prosperity not by how high we could pile up resources, but how widely we could spread them out? Would our heroes not to mention our politicians look different? Just maybe. See "Own the Change" in full this week on "The Laura Flanders Show" on TeleSUR English or LinkTV and get your hands those educational resources through our website. That's GRITtv.org.

When it comes to citizenship for today's immigrants, the ground is shifting. Many immigrants who could become citizens, don't. Others say citizenship is less important for those who are undocumented, compared to obtaining legal status that would protect them from being deported. On this podcast, FI2W Executive Producer John Rudolph talks with Julissa Gutierrez of the National Association of Latino Elected Officials, and Mark Lopez, Director of Hispanic Research at the Pew Center about immigrants' changing attitudes towards citizenship.
We're talking immigration on Access Utah, specifically illegal immigration. There are an estimated 110,000 illegal immigrants in Utah according to the Pew Center, and more may arrive.

Audio recording (MP3) According to recent studies by the Pew Center on the Internet And American Life, more than half of American teens online have produced media content and about a third have circulated media that they have produced beyond their immediate friends and family. These statistics reflect the growing importance of participatory culture in the everyday lives of American young people. Work across a range of disciplines suggest that these emerging forms of participatory culture are important sites for informal learning and may be the crucible out of which new conceptions of civic engagement are emerging. Drawing on insights from a recent white paper produced for the MacArthur Foundation, this talk will discuss the need to develop new forms of media literacy pedagogy which reflects this context of a participatory culture, materials which both respond to the ethical challenges confronted by those teens who are already producing and circulating their own media as well as the challenges confronting those youth who are excluded from participation in these on-line worlds as a consequence of lack of access to technologies, skills, competencies, and cultural experiences taken for granted by their contemporaries. These issues can not be understood through a simple opposition between digital natives and digital immigrants, but rather require us to dig deeper into the diverse range of experiences young people have online and the range of different interactions between adults and teens in these new participatory culture. In the course of the presentation, I will be sharing a range of curricular materials and activities being developed by MIT's Project nml to support the teaching of these new social skills and cultural competencies.
