"What practical challenges arise in measuring physical activity among children?" In this final part of the episode, Dr. Olli Tikkanen and Dr. Ying Gao discuss the real-world challenges faced when collecting physical activity data from children using devices like Fibion. Dr. Gao shares her experience with device placement, tape sensitivity, and device retention, revealing that around 15-20% of devices were lost in initial studies due to a lack of clear instructions for parents and children. By enhancing communication with parents and teachers and providing practical solutions like custom-made pockets in shorts, Dr. Gao's team significantly improved data retention and device return rates. Dr. Gao also highlights how varying humidity levels in different locations impact device attachment and shares strategies, such as using specific tapes and providing flexible study schedules, to make participation easier for children. This episode is essential for researchers looking to understand the logistical considerations in physical activity data collection among young participants. ____________________________ This podcast episode is sponsored by Fibion Inc. | Better Sleep, Sedentary Behaviour and Physical Activity Research with Less Hassle --- Collect, store and manage SB and PA data easily and remotely - Discover ground-breaking Fibion SENS --- Learn more about Fibion Flash - a versatile customizable tool with HRV and accelerometry capability.  --- SB and PA measurements, analysis, and feedback made easy.  Learn more about Fibion Research. --- Learn more about Fibion Sleep and Fibion Circadian Rhythm Solutions. --- Fibion Kids - Activity tracking designed for children. --- Explore our Wearables,  Experience sampling method (ESM), Sleep,  Heart rate variability (HRV), Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity article collections for insights on related articles. --- Refer to our article "Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior Measurements" for an exploration of active and sedentary lifestyle assessment methods. --- Learn about actigraphy in our guide: Exploring Actigraphy in Scientific Research: A Comprehensive Guide. --- Gain foundational ESM insights with "Introduction to Experience Sampling Method (ESM)" for a comprehensive overview. --- Explore accelerometer use in health research with our article "Measuring Physical Activity and Sedentary Behavior with Accelerometers ". --- For an introduction to the fundamental aspects of HRV, consider revisiting our Ultimate Guide to Heart Rate Variability. --- Follow the podcast on Twitter https://twitter.com/PA_Researcher  Follow host Dr Olli Tikkanen on Twitter https://twitter.com/ollitikkanen  Follow Fibion on Twitter https://twitter.com/fibion  Check our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@PA_Researcher

We're joined by Dr. Denis Noble, Professor Emeritus of Cardiovascular Physiology at the University of Oxford, and the father of 'systems biology'. He is known for his groundbreaking creation of the first mathematical model of the heart's electrical activity in the 1960s which radically transformed our understanding of the heart. Dr. Noble's contributions have revolutionized our understanding of cardiac function and the broader field of biology. His work continues to challenge long-standing biological concepts, including gene-centric views like Neo-Darwinism. In this episode, Dr. Noble discusses his critiques of fundamental biological theories that have shaped science for over 80 years, such as the gene self-replication model and the Weissmann barrier. He advocates for a more holistic, systems-based approach to biology, where genes, cells, and their environments interact in complex networks rather than a one-way deterministic process. We dive deep into Dr. Noble's argument that biology needs to move beyond reductionist views, emphasizing that life is more than just the sum of its genetic code. He explains how AI struggles to replicate even simple biological systems, and how biology's complexity suggests that life's logic lies not in DNA alone but in the entire organism. The conversation covers his thoughts on the flaws of Neo-Darwinism, the influence of environmental factors on evolution, and the future of biology as a field that recognizes the interaction between nature and nurture. We also explore the implications of his work for health and longevity, and how common perspectives on genetics might need rethinking. All the topics we covered in the episode: -The critique of Neo-Darwinism and the future of evolutionary theory. -Systems biology: Understanding life beyond the gene. -The complexity of biology: Why reductionism falls short. -Evolution and inheritance: The role of environment in shaping species. -Health implications of Dr. Noble's work: Longevity, lifestyle, and the limits of genome-based predictions. Join us for a thrilling discussion on the future of biology, evolution, and the practical implications for health and science.

Christof Koch is a neuroscientist who studies consciousness, and is best known for integrated information theory. IIT is a consciousness-first theory, which states that the experience of being someone (or something) is directly related to the causal powers of the underlying system. Up until relatively recently, Koch was something of a materialist - he believed that it would be possible to find the specific series of neural events in the brain that produce lived experience. A series of events, which he details in his new book "The I Am Myself the World" have led him to embrace more of an idealist perspective, which says that we are instantiations of a a much larger universal consciousness that permeates the universe. We talk to him about his transformation, the nature of consciousness and will, what it "causal powers" of a system have to do with consciousness, and the value of mystical experiences.

Les Johnson - Author & Chief Technologist with NASA @LesAuthor @IRG_Space

A CMO Confidential Interview with Paul Roetzer, Founder of the Marketing AI Institute and author of Marketing Artificial Intelligence.

This conversation focuses on what happens after or around patient screening, addressing the challenges caused by using GLP-1s and dual incretin agonists to treat concomitant conditions before looking at the patient's liver, and then the opportunities that can come from on-site scanning and immediate feedback. Jeff starts this conversation by noting the popularity and widespread discussion around anti-obesity medications, which also have effects on MASH. He says this could "lead to a tricky couple of years" if results include decreased willingness to participate in clinical trials and/or decreased demand for fatty liver drugs from patients already on incretin agonists like semaglutide or tirzepatide. Generally, he expresses a concern that all this will lead to a decline in focus on the liver. Louise discusses activities in her two home countries, UK and Australia.  She starts by noting that interest in the healthcare system picks up when patients go to their primary care physicians seeking care for a given disease, in this case, liver disease. She goes on to note that "liver disease is a small portion of poor liver health," which leads to cardiovascular disease and extra-hepatic cancers. Thus, she says screening should identify patients with poor liver health in order to educate and intervene with these non-hepatic conditions. She describes data in her possession that says 33% of Australians who believe they are healthy have poor liver health, and that most of these are post-menopausal women. She says there is a mismatch between patient needs, perceived resource demand, and funds available to support these resources.Mike asks Louise to comment on scanning as an educational activity. Before answering his question directly, she discusses the value of on-site patient questionnaires in improving the quality and perceived value of the overall visit.   Next, she discusses how she uses the sharing of scan results with the patient to generate a deeper patient understanding of the disease and activate conversation on how patients can help themselves better. Mike agrees based on his experience learning about his high CAP score, then lowering the level. Louise discusses steps treaters can take if the first intervention doesn't work.

Seasons 7 || Episode 10 – The beef industry has been focused on measuring economically relevant traits for decades. However, some of these traits are harder to measure than others. One of these traits includes pasture-based forage intake on an individual animal basis. With feed costs being one of the highest inputs cattle producers have each year and forage being a limiting resource, the ability to measure this trait is more important than ever before. Cattle producers can now measure forage intake on a per-head basis in their pastures with the implementation of Ceres Tag devices. David Smith, Dr. Troy Rowan and Barbara Jackson share valuable insights about how Ceres Tag devices measure pasture feed intake and how it can be applied in real-world settings during Season 7, Episode 10 of the Casual Cattle Conversations podcast.

When Jonathan Brocco, a school administrator, got involved in gun violence prevention, it was after a mass shooting rocked his school community — one of his students had lost a brother in the 2018 Waffle House mass shooting. Sadly, soon Jonathan would be directly impacted, when his father Charlie passed from firearm suicide in February of 2019.In the wake of that combined trauma, however, Jonathan continues to give of himself, sharing his message of the urgent need for sweeping reform. Together with hosts Kelly and JJ, Jonathan explains not only his own loss (and what he wishes everyone knew about firearm suicide) but also the emotional and practical challenges educators and administrators face as they grapple with the repercussions of school shootings.

If you've ever taken a course on the internet you may have come across an exercise or some kind example that just left you thinkingokay but why?This lack of real-world context is a problem that a lot of courses suffer from.Creating examples that are engaging learners, isolates the skill being used, while also showing off the context in which the skill is used takes time and expertise but the payoff is well worth it. It's not just examples/exercises though. Creating an engaging environment to learn in is important. Angie Jones has a ton of advice in this episode and talks about what she did at Test Automation University to build that environment.The true goal of all this work is to improve the outcomes of your learners. Making sure that you are giving them the means to succeed and stay committed to their learning goals on your platform. If you stay true to this goal, you'll both improve the lives of your learners and the success of your business.

Welcome to Finance and Fury. Can public infrastructure spending help to boost a depressed economy? In this episode we look at the theory of infrastructure spending on public goods, such as roads and bridges, versus the practical reality of this type of fiscal policy. At the moment – there are lots of Proposals for Infrastructure to boost economy – USA, Aus, EU – beyond other stimulus measures – this is one that billions of dollars can be pledged to First- what infrastructure governments spend funds on – Public infrastructure – for instance - spending on roads, bridges, train lines, sewerage systems - other such projects which are considered a public good – i.e. usable for all – This type of spending is one of the most advertised tools of anti-recessionary fiscal policy Why? When the economy struggles, politicians and public economists call for greater infrastructure spending as a form of stimulus This can be politically expedient as well - especially when the spending takes place in the politician’s state. However – how well does it provide stimulus to the economy? The theory of infrastructure stimulus – Government stimulus spending - infrastructure or other Gov consumption on goods and services – part of the Keynesian assumption where an underproductive economy can be spurred back to full output by using new public expenditures – we have gone through this theory in previous FF episodes – but the aim is to boost aggregate demand – GDP In relation to infrastructure – the theory is that involuntarily unemployed persons can be given public infrastructure jobs and receive an income This then feeds back into the economy with consumption spending – meant to promote more GDP growth John Maynard Keynes theorised that public infrastructure deficit spending could produce a multiplier effect on economic growth Especially when real interest rates are low – can borrow – create jobs while the project is under way and those incomes produce more GDP in economic spending Australian GDP composition - household consumption: 56.9%, investment: 24.1%, net exports 0.5%, government consumption: 18.5% Of gov consumption – around 4.4% is infrastructure spending – pretty high compared to a lot of other nations – China 8.3%, India 5.6%, Saudi Arabia – 5.1%, South Africa – 4.7%, 5th on the list - Australia – 4.4% Basic assumptions on this theory - Keynesian stimulus spending assumes essentially zero opportunity costs if the deficit spending occurs during a period of higher-than-normal unemployment – Those who are unemployed could not be employed anywhere else – for higher incomes – What this looks like in practice – Some assumptions I have seen – Economic policy institute - The “bang for the buck” is estimated by the one-year dollar change in gross domestic product (GDP) for a given dollar increase in spending. Multiplier indicates how much total output (GDP) changes in response to a $1 increase in deficit resulting from the fiscal policy change Outcome from increased infrastructure spending - $1.57 – could find a fair amount of papers theorising the benefits- One problem with theory of infrastructure spending - it ignores so-called "Cantillon effects" the relative change in different prices as the result of new money entering the economy new spending increases prices and demand in some areas faster and more deeply than in other areas - it has the side effect of misdirecting production away from areas where private citizens might voluntarily choose to dedicate their money – creating a misallocation of pricing Example – Massive inflows of funds into infrastructure spending pushes up the cost of infrastructure up – anyone who has had a damaged driveway gutter and requires the local council to replace this knows what I am talking about – minimum costs of $1,500 in most cases, just for a wheelbarrow of concrete Essentially, the economy trades off a short-term reduction in unemployment for a long-term misallocation resources and employment potentials that produces higher unemployment long term – as once the project is over those jobs are gone Also – employment only benefits one sector of the economy – those in public works/construction – at this stage of where the economy is at – this is not where the unemployment issues have materialised Another problem – it ignores opportunity costs – these may be very large opportunity costs and implementation costs associated with the high levels that are required for infrastructure spending I talked about the issue with not having any feedback loops in deacision making - governments do not produce anything with a calculable market value – or do they receive any feedback – it is not like their revenues, or the taxes we pay can be withheld by us if we don’t think they are doing a good job or agree with what they are spending it on – Their spending decisions are independent of consumer valuations and therefore blind to any real economic feedback There – no feedback on if infrastructure spending is the best use of resources, let alone any specific project for a road, bridge or highway – in addition, no recourse for wasted spending – i.e. the $1bn wasted on the east west link tunnel that never got built in Melbourne Good infrastructure can enhance the productive potential of the economy, but the political decision-making process often leads to bad decisions on spending, whether that is for electoral reasons or inefficiencies driven by a lack of market discipline – or having any recourse or feedback loops in helping make decisions Dig a hole and fill a hole policies can be implemented – to help boost employment and spend a budget – but it won’t provide any infrastructure benefit to our lives Based around the cantillion effect and having no opportunity costs in decision making – governments can impedes the private-sector from delivering infrastructure. If infrastructure projects are financed through taxes - the private economy shrinks by at least a corresponding amount long term If they are financed through deficit spending and the issuance of government bonds, then current capital markets experience crowding-out effects and other financial assets become more or less expensive than they otherwise should be – long term - when those government bonds are paid back through higher taxes or higher inflation (to eat away the real value of the debt) - the private economy loses again The estimate of the 1.57 multiplier doesn’t take into account these opportunity costs   Practical Reality Economists do have a hard time to produce empirical results of the benefits – they can in theory and produce models about assumptions – but even models that predict things like inflation show that they are off – difficult to find solid, demonstrable evidence about how effective changes in infrastructure spending have been The IMF produced a working paper in 2014 - found little evidence that global infrastructure projects produced economic gains - when projects received debt funding for growth – no change to trends for growths Practical Challenges – paper by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) in 2013 called - "Roads to Prosperity or Bridges to Nowhere? Theory and Evidence on the Impact of Public Infrastructure Investment." Good title – but within it the economists identified at a few major challenges to the standard theory of increasing infrastructure spending for GDP growth the endogeneity of public infrastructure spending to economic conditions - endogeneity broadly refers to situations in which an explanatory variable is correlated with the error term or your probability assumption – simple English - there are too many variable to accurately predict what is having an effect on GDP – was is Gov spending or is it just good economic conditions? the decentralized nature of implementation – there are too many departments and no communication between them – delays and costing become an issue – lags between approved spending decisions and actual project completion – money may not be there by the time the works are ready to be completed - delivery of infrastructure generally tends to be slower and more costly due to extensive government regulations, such as land use planning laws, environmental commitments, direct government monopoly decisions and restrictions on transport infrastructure funded through charging the user – such as tolls as I quickly went through earlier - government generally is not excellent at managing money or roads - Federal spending for highways is as much a political tool as an economic one – In addition - projects also tend to lose their "shovel-ready" status because of lengthy and expensive environmental and permitting reviews Approvals for public infrastructure projects can take between five and 10 years to be implemented, all the while costing taxpayers as tedious approval processes play out – then they have to buy up land and properties that lie on them – then regulations change and new approvals need to be applied for – Example - Moved to Brisbane in 2000 with my parents – were looking around and Kenmore bypass was planned – since the 1960s – have the land and in 2009 bought up the final blocks – but still have no money What good infrastructure like loads can help with – reduced connection and travel times – does this happen? A few anecdotal examples from my own life – One – spent $34m adding in a round about that added 20mins to travel Another was $60m spent adding an additional inlet to the ICB – actually made traffic congestion worse – an extra 15 mins as down the line the bottle neck still exists   Despite constant policy proposals - there is little practical evidence that public infrastructure projects are a net positive to the economy, or that they even boost net employment figures - There appears to be a disconnect between the theory – the political rhetoric and economic reality – how big? Who knows The macroeconomic models are all assumption based – and only deal with a handful of variables compared to what can actually affect the economy – plus it assumes individuals behaviours are fixed – that we aren’t adaptive So whilst in theory it does sound good – the actual output is unknow and the funds may be better spent elsewhere     Next week – look at Past examples of infrastructure and leading to crisis.   Thanks for listening.   Resources:   https://resources.saylor.org/wwwresources/archived/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/HIST312-10.1.2-Panic-of-1893.pdf https://www.federalreservehistory.org/essays/banking_panics_of_the_gilded_age https://www.statista.com/statistics/566787/average-yearly-expenditure-on-economic-infrastructure-as-percent-of-gdp-worldwide-by-country/ https://www.epi.org/publication/the-potential-macroeconomic-benefits-from-increasing-infrastructure-investment/ https://www.nber.org/papers/w18042.pdf

 Plenty of advice on how to build a basic budget, but how do you strike that balance where you’re saving and investing for financial freedom and independence while still having fun now with the kids? We’ll find out how today! What’s the Best Budget for You?  Budgets, spending plans – whatever you call them, people have strong feelings about them.  Over the past ten years, I’ve talked to and interviewed couples and families about reaching big goals – financial or otherwise.  I noticed certain patterns or habits that they shared.  One of those is how they handled their money. Here’s the strange part that might surprise you.  While they all some spending plan for their money, they had different types of budgets they used. That’s good news in a way because that means there’s no one size fits all approach when it comes to budgets.  The challenge though is discovering which method is right for you.  So how do you do that – how do you find and create a budget that fits your family?  We’re going to tackle that today!  In this episode we’ll go over:  Creating a budget you’ll love and stick with Three effective, yet different budgets to look at  Choosing the best one  Let’s get started!

If you’d like someone to work with you on your goals, Coastal has the people, accounts, and services to help you hit your goals. How to Create a Budget You’ll Love and Stick With   What’s the point of a budget? First off a budget isn’t about what you can’t spend or have, it’s about what you can. Very loosely, a reasonable budget typically cover three areas: Essentials & necessities – roof over your head, food in your belly, clothes on your back building wealth – saving for retirement, getting of debt, seed money for a business fun – quality of life options When I speak with families who are having a hard time with their budget, one of those three goals are missing or aren’t being addressed properly.  When you can’t pay the bills or they’re late, one or both of you are stressed.  If you don’t have much saved up, or you struggle to pay down the debt, you’re worried about any hiccup that can come up. (And they do!) And if you don’t have some fun with that money now, you’ll start to resent the spending plan (and the person who came up with it).  If you want to create a budget that you both keep and stick with you have to hit each of those goals.   Why Most People Break Their Budget There are plenty of myths and assumptions people have about budgets that aren’t true. Myth #1: Budgets are time-consuming. Truth: Budgets are time savers.   Intitial setup does take time, but once you have it, it’s easy to check. Most of us have fairly consistent expenses. There might be some shifts here and there, but you easily adjust those bit and pieces. Automating it through bill pay and transfers makes managing the budget pretty much checking in once a week or paycheck for a minute or two to verify everything went through. Myth #2: Budgets are about restrictions. Truth: Budgets are about respecting your time and money. The key to a budget is hitting those three goals I mentioned earlier and that includes having some money to enjoy. 3 Popular Budgets You Can Try  On our YouTube channel, this week’s money tip went into detail on the different budgeting methods out there. I want to share three effective and popular ways families are budgeting to hit their money goals and still have room in the budget for some fun now. 50/20/30 Budget As the name suggests, your money goes into one of three ‘buckets’ of expenses. 50% Essentials: This covers your ‘needs’ like rent/mortgage, food, utilities, and necessary transportation. 20% Financial Priorities: This money is allocated for your future such as investing for retirement and taking care of important money goals now like having an emergency fund and paying off your debt. 30% Wants: These are your lifestyle choices. What do you two enjoy? It’s encouraging to see at least 20% being devoted to financial goals. Another plus with the 50/20/30 budget is how easy it is to set up bank transfers and bill payments. You two can set it up one evening, giving you more time for things you enjoy. Since one of the goals here are Simplify & Enjoy is to share how you can move towards financial freedom, I want to modify this budget just a bit. Instead of saving for 20% and spending 30%, I’d like you to switch those around. Save 30% (or use it to pay down debt) and have some fun, guilt-free spending with 20%.  By the way, other bucket system approaches are the 60% solution and a balanced budget. The percentages shift, but it’s the same idea in that you take your money and put it into buckets. Pay Yourself First/Reverse Budget Most budgets begin with your expenses – bills, credit cards, student loan payments and so forth.  Once those are plugged in, you go ahead and split up rest to savings and fun money.  The reverse budget is about beginning with you. You take out your savings and whatever key goal you’re saving up for first. You then take out the bills and so forth.  This can be really helpful if you really want to or need to hit a particular savings goal. Maybe you want to get that emergency fund up and running ASAP. Or you need to build up that house downpayment pretty fast.  The downside of this approach can be that you may have trouble allocating enough for your other expenses. This can come up especially if you haven’t ad much traction with budgets so far.   Zero Based budget You got to admit, at least these budgets are named properly.  So we talked about using a budget to divvy up your money into buckets.  With zero-based budget, you’re really focused on taking that income that you’re bringing in and giving every single dollar a purpose.   This method is used by Dave Ramsey’s budget tool – you guess it- EveryDollar.  This can be a great budget for detailed minded families who want or need to track every single dollar.  This strength can be a hurdle as well.  One hang-up people have with budgets is that they have to do a line by line review of all their expenses and income. For those new to budgets or people who are busy already it can seem overwhelming. How to Choose the Right Budget for You There you have it – three budgets that have worked for other family. The question is what will work best for you? As we’re went through the different budgets you may have felt drawn or even repeled by one of them. That’s okay. There’s more than one way to budget. If you’re trying to figure out what’s best, start with where you are now? Take a look at your current budget or spending plan. Is it more high level buckets or down in the trenches with transcactions? How well is it working for you? Sometimes you look at the numbers it doesn’t seem as bad. Speaking of numbers let’s look at them, but instead of tallying up the expenses, I want you to try out a different approach. I got to speak with with Carl Richards a few times. He’s a Certified Financial Planner and the NY Time columnist. As a planner, he’s worked with couples and many times, the budget is a source of stress. So to take the tension out he suggests looking at the expenses and asking yourselves, did I get value out of that? Was eating out out something that made me happy? How much?Go over it together and review your own spending? No judgeing just asking. What we’re tryingt o do here is define those expensesin the context of is it something you need? Is it bringing you closer to your big goals? Or is it something that you’re enjoying now? Because your budget is a mix of that. When we had Drew Snider the beginning of this season, he talked soccer. That wasn’t going to get cut out of his budget. For me, I have to have something set aside for meals with friends. I enjoy it. Besides discovering your must-haves don’t be surprised or feel ashamed if you also realize that some spending doesn’t fit any of those categories. Maybe you see that eating out with friends once a week is valuable, but grabbing something at teh drive-thru isn’t. Being able to see your expenses through this lense allows you to create a  values driven budget.   And then the budgeting method is less a concern as you now understand it’s just the tool to make sure your money is working for you. Living Debt-Free Speaking of hitting your money goals, have you ever thought about what it would be like to be completely debt-free, including the house?  Next week we’ll look at the pros and cons of paying off your mortgage faster!  So if you haven’t already, make sure you’re subscribed.

In this activity, experts in the management of patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) discuss the new standard of care for stage III locally advanced unresectable NSCLC following the recent approval of checkpoint inhibitor therapy for patients who have not progressed following chemoradiation therapy. In addition, the faculty consider how immunotherapy should be integrated into the management of patients with stage III NSCLC, the practical nuances of use, including timing and duration of therapy, as well as management of overlapping and nonoverlapping adverse effects, and immunotherapy-based rational treatment approaches that are being evaluated in neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings in earlier stages of lung cancer. Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to: Describe the rationale for use of immunotherapy in earlier stages (I-III) of NSCLC, Evaluate the latest data on efficacy and safety of immunotherapy in stage III NSCLC, and clinical implications of these data, Discuss the key clinical trials assessing immune-based treatment approaches in locally advanced or earlier stages of lung cancer, Incorporate immunotherapy into treatment plans for patients with stage III or earlier stages of lung cancer, including in the context of clinical practice or clinical trials, based on the latest evidence, best practice recommendations, and patient needs.

Last year we polled our community and asked them a key question: “What is the biggest challenge you face right now in living a more unhurried life?” Very simple. Very practical. We got some great responses. We arranged the responses into five categories which will be the theme of some of our upcoming episodes. Those themes are:  Practical Challenges to Living Less Hurried  Dealing with Workplace Stress  Inner Distractions & Soul Busyness  Keeping First Things First  Noticing God in My Busy Life So that’s why today’s episode is titled “Nine Practical Challenges to Living Less Hurried.” Specifically, these are challenges that arise from within us. They are personal challenges and places of inward wrestling. Maybe you’ll see one of your struggles below. Listen in to see what we have to say about each one. Challenge #1 - Believing that rest and quiet is OK, maybe even good. Challenge #2 - My belief that I am what I do. This keeps me from focusing on who I am becoming. Challenge #3 - Developing self-discipline and self-confidence to live an unhurried life. Challenge #4 - Learning to be patient with myself and trusting Jesus to lead me into an unhurried life that reflects how he lived. Challenge #5 - Overcoming my guilt when I feel like I’m producing less because I slowed down. Challenge #6 - The anxiety I feel in uncertain situations. Challenge #7 - My preference for multi-tasking rather than doing one thing at a time. Challenge #8 - Knowing how to find quiet for my mind and heart and making contemplative time with God. Challenge #9 - My fear of looking inward. I stay busy to avoid my issues.

The unprecedented crime of the 1994 Rwandan genocide demanded an unconventional legal response. After failed attempts by the international legal system to efficiently handle legal cases stemming from the genocide, Rwandans decided to take matters into their own hands and reinstate Gacaca law, which had been the sole legal system in Rwanda prior to colonization. Gacaca, a Kinyarwanda word referring to a type of grass or traditional lawn, is also a metonym for place and mediation. Gacaca law allows perpetrators and victims to resolve their differences before the community, and a panel of eminent persons, inyangamugayo. Gacaca seeks not simply to punish crime but to repair the social fabric rent by crime. In his book Practical Challenges in Customary Law Translation: The Case Of Rwanda’s Gacaca Law (Organization for Social Science Research in Eastern and Southern Africa, 2015), Telesphore Ngarambe uses a fusion of cultural and translational studies, with emphasis placed on cultural contextualization, to make a unique contribution to the study of Gacaca law. Ngarambe argues that as law is embedded in culture and society, of which language is an integral part, legal language of necessity reflects the culture and society in which it is embedded. Rwanda’s three official languages mean that Gacaca law, articulated in Kinyarwanda, must now also find expression in the colonial languages with which it coexists, namely English and French. Though modern Gacaca law has come in for criticism, it has also been hailed as a model for indigenous responses to crimes of mass violence in Africa and other parts of the world.
