fWotD Episode 2931: Marie Sophie Hingst Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 14 May 2025, is Marie Sophie Hingst.Marie Sophie Hingst (20 October 1987 – 17 July 2019) was a German historian and blogger who falsely claimed to be descended from Holocaust survivors. Born in Wittenberg to a Protestant family, she fabricated a Jewish background and sent documentation for 22 misrepresented or non-existent relatives, who she claimed were Holocaust victims, to the official Holocaust memorial Yad Vashem. Hingst maintained the blog Read On, My Dear, Read On, writing about her supposed Jewish background and identity, along with her experiences as a German expatriate in Ireland, where she moved in 2013. The blog received hundreds of thousands of views, and she was awarded "Blogger of the Year" in 2017 by Die Goldenen Blogger (The Golden Bloggers).Throughout her life, Hingst falsified much of her background, connections, and achievements. She claimed a background in sex education, having purportedly founded a hospital in New Delhi and worked in sex education outreach to refugees in Germany. Hingst used her fraudulent credentials to gain awards and recognition; alongside her "Blogger of the Year" recognition, she wrote for the German newspaper Die Zeit, was one of the winners of the 2017 Financial Times Future of Europe project, and held positions of prestige in Jewish communities across Europe. In June 2019, the Der Spiegel journalist Martin Doerry exposed Hingst's claims as false with the assistance of a team of historians and archivists. She was castigated in the German media, leading to the destruction of her reputation.Hingst committed suicide on 17 July 2019 at the age of 31. Her fraud and death attracted attention across Europe. German and Irish coverage of Hingst differed: German coverage focused on the extreme sensitivity of the subject she had lied about and how she should have been stopped earlier; Irish coverage focused on her mental health and accused Doerry of ignoring her vulnerability. She was compared to other women who had been uncovered as misrepresenting their backgrounds, such as Anna Sorokin and Rachel Dolezal. The particular similarity between Hingst and Dolezal, as people who claimed to have faced ethnic discrimination, sparked discussion of the role of identity politics in such claims.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:14 UTC on Wednesday, 14 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Marie Sophie Hingst on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Jasmine.

The Last Battle is rapidly approaching, and our Queens are here for the build-up. As they barrel towards a battle to end them all, the Queens become increasingly concerned about the constantly shortening length of Nynaeve's hair. They debate whether or not they can take the Dark One seriously and Queen Tay wishes a different verb was used to describe a specific scene with Rand and the Dark One. Perrin continues to irk them all and the Queens beg Mat to be better than his wife. And, of course, Queens Marissa and Tay finally find Demandred -- and they are not particularly pleased. Mistakes are made, battle plans are changed, and the Trollocs head towards the Fields of Merrilor. So, don't miss out as your Queens discuss Chapter 22 to the end of Chapter 36 of Book Fourteen of The Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.The Queens finish this episode with a game called, "Sun, Moon, Rising: Character Edition."

The Queens are rapidly approaching the end of The Wheel of Time – and, in this section, we can see the end barrelling at us. All three Queens aim their pitchforks at Gawyn, who is acting particularly silly in this segment. Queen Al attempts to hold her spoilers for the rest of the series, while Queen Tay tries to understand why our army generals are suddenly making mistakes. Queen Marissa, in turn, is scared and alone, checking under every bed and in every closet for where Demandred could possibly be hiding. Armies are moved, Aes Sedai are attacked, and the Last Battle looms ever closer as your Queens discuss Chapter 9 to the end of Chapter 21 of Book Fourteen of The Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.The Queens finish this episode with a game called, "DND Character Sheets."

For the last time, the Queens begin a new Wheel of Time book. In this beginning of the end, the Queens rage over theories that should have been right, decide they don't love the legendary shower and might end up defending some female Forsaken. Queens Al and Marissa give us a biology lesson on twins, and Queen Tay cries over Caemlyn's horses and brings out her map. Prophecies are unpacked while Queen Al tries to ignore her co-hosts in the name of spoiler safety.

Today a long chat with Booker Winner 2024 Samantha Harvey and a listen to her winning book Orbital. We hear about the quirks of living on the ISS, about sleeping in orbit, and closer to home we hear about the importance of accessible reading and that Samantha is currently training a guide dog puppy. All that plus some new books in the RNIB Library on today's Read On. Image is the cover of the book Orbital by Samantha Harvey, which was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2024. The design features a cosmic or abstract space-themed illustration with a black background dotted by colorful, cloud-like shapes in blue, orange, white, and green. The design gives an impression of planets or nebulae in space, with Earth visible in the lower left. The title "Orbital" is prominently centred in large, white text, and the author's name appears below in smaller, yellow font. The Penguin Books logo is at the bottom right.
Are you ready for all the action? Your Queens of Fantasy are back, and they're diving into part three of book 13.

We have spoken to all of the Booker Shortlisted authors here at Read On, many on the days leading up to, or in one case the day of, the award ceremony, far too soon to get them onto a regular episode of the show. So here, ahead of the ceremony tonight, is a supercut of all six interviews featuring Percival Everett, Samantha Harvey, Yael van der Wouden, Charlotte Wood, Rachel Kushner and Anne Michaels. We'll have all of the interviews, uncut, on future editions of Read On. The image showcases six book covers from the Booker shortlist 2024 James by Percival Everett - The cover features bold typography with a striking orange background. A small illustrated figure appears at the bottom, rowing a boat. Orbital by Samantha Harvey - This cover has a cosmic theme with abstract celestial shapes in vibrant colours against a dark background, resembling planets or bubbles in space. Creation Lake by Rachel Kushner - The cover uses bold, playful typography with red and yellow text. An upside-down black-and-white photograph of a woman wearing sunglasses adds a surreal element. Held by Anne Michaels - The cover is minimalist and grayscale, with the word "Held" repeated multiple times vertically. A small orange dot pattern adds subtle colour. The Safe Keep by Yael Van Der Wouden - This cover depicts an interior scene, looking into a room with an open door, hinting at themes of mystery or domesticity. Stone Yard Devotional by Charlotte Wood - The cover shows a dilapidated room with peeling walls and sunlight filtering in, suggesting an exploration of decay or solitude.
The Queens are at it again, this time reading part 2 of book 13. Queens Marissa and Tay argue over exactly how bad Gawyn is. Queen Al manages to hold her tongue, even as the other two get closer and closer to the end. Expect new Aes Sedai tests, old rivalries, a growing disdain for a certain Queen who cannot be stopped, a lingering question of where their goofy rogue went off to, and a budding romance that no one wants to read about. In other words, listen in as the Queens discuss the Prologue to the end of Chapter 15 of Book Thirteen of The Wheel of Time, Towers of Midnight by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson.This episode ends with a game of Travel Itineraries, in which the Queens suggest where your next Randland vacation could take place. Then Tay and Marissa slot those characters into their ranking lists, and the newest character to scrape the bottom of the list might even surprise you.Content Warnings:Please take care of yourself.

We give you an in-depth look at his research and analysis related to alternate theories for the resurrection that began in the first century and continue today.

Let's see where this all began! The Queens join Morraine, Siuan, and Lan nearly twenty years before The Eye of the World takes place. Morraine and Siuan are baby Accepted students in the tower, and Lan is fighting the good fight everywhere he can. We follow as our two favourite Sedais learn about the Dragon's birth, gain the shawl, prank anyone and everyone, buy several dresses on unrealistic timelines, and learn to fall out of love (unfortunately). The Queens are distraught to learn Lan's backstory is even more upsetting than they originally thought. Queens Marissa and Tay wonder whether they've missed a clue or six, while Alix practices her Aes Sedai composure as endeavors to remain spoiler-free. In other words, join our Queens as they read the entirety of New Spring, Book 0.5 of The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan.Queens Tay and Marissa wrap up this trip down memory lane with a full review of the prequel.

Today's Read On features three very distinctive voices, Adjoa Andoh on being the voice of the Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency, Derek Jacobi on bringing characters to life off the page and we get a masterclass in narration from Martin Jarvis. All that plus some new books available in audio from RNIB.
Ten books down, only four (well, five) more to go! The Queens join the characters as they make good, bad, and terrible decisions. Queen Marissa argues that Egwene makes a terrible choice, while both Queens Alix and Tay worry over their favourite Amyrlin Seat. Every wonders why Perrin left a perfectly viable axe to rust in the forest, and the Queens continue their disdain for Tuon -- even when she's almost a decent character. Expect axe swinging, weevil winnowing, cuendillar weaving, and a good amount of skirt smoothing as the Queens debate when to drop big questions in a courtship. Marissa is still very upset about the weather, Tay wonders whether she's reading a ghost story, and Al bites her tongue to prevent herself from revealing all the spoilers. In other words, join our Queens as they read Chapter 16 to the end of Book Ten of The Wheel of Time, Crossroads of Twilight by Robert Jordan.Queens Tay and Marissa wrap up book ten by giving a full and honest ranking of the novel. In the game segment of this episode, the Queens give the Wheel of Time play an old fave: It's Giving. They finish off with their character rankings.Content Warnings:Please take care of yourself.

The German Shepherd is a noble, intelligent and intelligent dog. Sadly they have been maligned on different occasions, namely during thee Second World War when Nazi forces used them to commit harmful and sometimes deadly acts on Jews in Concentration Camps. How does this apply to this video? READ ON! The SV (Verein für Deutsche Schäferhunde) is an organization that is designed to advocate for and protect the breed. The SV is a fantastic organization that has done so much for the breed. However, recently they have invited a politician who is at the center of some controversy to be a guest at their big show, the Bundessiegerzuchtschau. Hubert Aiwanger is currently the Deputy Minister President of Bavaria and the Bavarian Minister of Economic affairs, Regional Development and Energy. He is both the faction leader of the Federal Association of Free Voters as well as the Bavarian State Association of Free and Independent Voters. In the last few weeks some controversy surfaced linking him to antisemitic materials that he possessed as a young man. Since this show is purely about the benefit of the dog, I will explain in the podcast that any association that the German Shepherd has to someone possibly linked to extremism can cause a backlash onto the dog. For that reason I ask you to respectfully contact the SV at the email below and ask them to kindly remove Hubert Aiwanger from their event this weekend September 7-10th. I ask you to do this kindly, respectfully, but with intent. This is important for anyone who loves the German Shepherd! link to the SV: https://www.schaeferhunde.de/en/ email the SV: info@schaeferhunde.de Watch this 3 minute video to learn more about the current controversy: https://x.com/dw_politics/status/1697305771195715742?s=48&t=67j2Cm2FE5PYvcJ4PusJQQ Thank you to everyone who cares enough to take the time to take action and speak on behalf of the dogs! Our dogs should never be associated to something that they had no control over and would slight them. They should be loved and protected! #germanshepherd #israel #gsd #germany

Thousands—multitudes—of fine Christians were ensnared in it. I remember one time I bought a gift to take to a Minister in that movement who was on their death bed. The person who took the gift said, “We will have to submit this to the Elders for approval.” Another time a Pastor friend of mine—Reverend Cecil Pumphrey—was directed of the Lord to do evangelistic outreach at a university. He asked the leaders of a local church—the church was part of the False Discipleship and Covering Movement—if they would like to work with him in the evangelistic outreach at the university. They said, “No! And if you continue we will come against you with everything we have.” You haven't heard anything yet … READ ON! ______________________________ THE FALSE SHEPHERDING COVERING CULT THE FALSE DISCIPLESHIP MOVEMENT BEWARE: Watch in the future for heretical movements like the following I describe. You have probably read (or heard podcasts) in some of my past teachings about the “False Discipleship” Movement or Shepherding Movement that gained momentum in the 1970's. I call it the FALSE COVERING MOVEMENT where you were supposed to have a “covering” … a person over you. You “needed covering” and they would give it IF you did everything exactly like they instructed.” There was a group of men called the Florida Four or “Ft. Lauderdale Five” such as: Derek Prince Robert Mumford Charles Simpson Don Basham Ern Baxter These men were all good teachers BUT they were all deceived about Christian Leadership and wrecked many families and lives and ministries. Many mainstream AND evangelical Christians were caught up in the Shepherding Movement. The result was a trick by Satan to kill evangelism. Here is what several victims of the Movement told Pat Robertson about the Shepherding Movement: “The Word and the will of God for our lives today should come first to the group of pastors that get together in a certain city… God reveals to them the purpose for the city and His purpose for the disciples.” “We are not a John 3:16 ministry. We are here to establish the government of God on earth.” The architect of “the shepherding system” with one “shepherd/pastor” over eight to twelve individuals, was primarily Charles Simpson. Their strongest critics in the Charismatic Movement were myself and men of God like Pat Robertson, my friend Demos Shakarian, and David du Plessis. The Shepherding Movement seemed to diffuse about 1986 but with some areas of continuance in much the same way afterwards. Pat Robertson saw the danger of the False Shepherding Movement and via CBN he pronounced the “Shepherding” teaching “witchcraft” and said the only difference between the “false discipleship group” and Jonestown was “Kool-Aid.” I was used by God to inform many churches and people of this heretical Movement in the USA and other countries. I had NOT even heard what Pat Robertson or others taught about this Movement, however, I SAW its effects with my own eyes and witnessed what it was doing in the lives of wonderful Christian people. It stigmatized them and robbed them of spiritual power through its FALSE—not real—discipleship. It seemed to be a tactic of Satan to quench true discipleship and the move of the Holy Spirit that occurred during the Jesus People Movement. The relationships that were formed became known theologically as “covenant relationships.” Those involved had to be submitted to a “shepherd,” who in turn was submitted to another shepherd … and up the line submitted to the “Fab Five” or their representatives. If this reminds you of a pyramid scheme or Multi-level marketing scheme you're probably right! Effectively, if unintentionally, this put the individual in the position of having TWO masters– Jesus and a personal shepherd. With time the personal shepherd gains more power, as Jesus gets less. And in time, this creates a system where those who have unquestioning obedience to man are promoted. All kinds of ungodly things came in through these doors. Several books have been written detailing the kinds of abuse suffered as a result. The scary thing about the whole system is that it started out with the intent of promoting accountability, and eventually enslaved people. When someone says “Who is your covering?” They are asking the basic Shepherding question. Ironically, Jesus was asked this same question by the Pharisees: “By what authority do you do these things?” His ministry was NOT submitted to them, and they didn't like that so they tried to shut him down, but the work of the Holy Spirit was the validation of His ministry. And remember, the Enemy used CHRISTIAN LEADERS to effect his purpose thru the False Discipleship … Shepherding Movement! The Movement was so prevalent that at one point I thought: “HOW in the world will people ever see the light about this dangerous phenomenon?” I remember being invited to different “Shepherding” Movement churches in Chicago [they invited me because God was doing MIRACLES and I held large seminars in Chicago at McCormick Place] where I told the congregations point blank that “NO PERSON is your Covering … Jesus Christ is your Covering.” Many times, I had people ask me, “Who is your covering?” “Where do you submit?” I would always answer: “The Lord Jesus Christ.” Pat Robertson said of the Shepherding Movement, “It is obvious that any movement which feeds upon itself will expire. Jesus gave to his church the task of holding forth the word of life to a world without hope. The obsessive desire to order and govern Christians will invariably cut the nerve of evangelism.” Jesus said to “feed my sheep.” Healthy, well fed sheep must reproduce. Jesus did not say “dominate sheep and prohibit them from reproducing.” Bob Mumford sincerely repented several years later, as did Derek Prince. Both Prince and Mumford experienced years of fruitful ministry later. My friend, the reason I am sharing this information with you is that for the last 35 years there has NOT seemed to be any such “deception” in the Body of Christ other than the anti-Charismatic sector and those who do NOT believe in the Scriptural Gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-11) and the Five-Fold Ministries (Ephesians 4:11). Be diligent and WATCH … MANY Jews are coming to Messiah Yeshua … and MANY people are receiving MIRACLES, breakthroughs and learning their AUTHORITY in the Kingdom, and operating in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. The Enemy may try something in the future. Be ready to expose him and his lies! And remember, the Enemy used CHRISTIAN LEADERS to effect his purpose thru the False Discipleship … Shepherding Movement! Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.

Frontiers of Psychotherapist Development Podcast by Daryl Chow, Ph.D.
Frontiers Radio podcast is back! Here's the video version:This is a Q&A video based on a question from a therapist in Montreal: "When Do You Get Time to Read?" I just wanted to say once again that I really appreciate your newsletter. I look forward to reading it every week. This week, I especially liked the comment on the importance of giving more attention to the conversational nature of psychotherapy in our training. I also liked the quote at the end, "It takes two to know one", which made me appreciate the importance of supervision and co-development groups to understand our clients better. I wanted to ask you a more personal question. When do you take time to read? I am asking this because there are so many interesting articles and books that are on my reading list but somehow I barely manage to make the time to read. I have a 2 year-old boy so that makes it a bit trickier too, but you and other therapists have children too.Thank you for your work, it's inspiring. Admittedly, if you look at the timestamp below, my response stretches a little further than the original question.

Welcome to Episode 139 of the Being Human Podcast: Same But Different: Distinctions Between the Brains of Men & Women (A Relationship Series, Part Two) Next up in our Relationship Series: A look at the brain differences between men and women! In this episode, Dr. Greg breaks open how growing in knowledge of the way God designed our bodies and brains - and especially the differences in each between the sexes - can help to enhance communication, deepen love, and strengthen relationships. Highlights from the episode: Men and women have small differences in their brains, but the impact of these differences are significant; The radically different ways that men and women think, and how each sex isn't privy to the way the other works; How brain imaging allows a glimpse into the way the brains of the opposite sex work; The tendency of men to think spatially and have brains focused on problem solving, while women tend towards connection and attunement to the other in relationships; The difference in how men and women both experience anxiety and attempt to decrease their anxiety; How recognition of the skills and gifts of the opposite sex can enhance teamwork and communication in relationship; The way a husband can “fix” the emotional distress of his wife.

Kate DiCamillo—the author of Because of Winn-Dixie, The Tale of Despereaux, The Beatryce Prophecy, and many other novels—speaks with Harper's Magazine editor Christopher Beha about discovering her vocation in children's literature. DiCamillo discusses how her writing for children is shaped by a sense of responsibility toward them, and what children's literature can offer to adults. Rather than trading on double entendres and other devices that enliven children's stories for the parent reading at the bedside, DiCamillo recovers a child's sense of magic for adult readers—one that isn't displaced into a realm of fantasy.

Welcome to Episode 75 of the Being Human Podcast: Gender Fluidity or Complementarity? In this week's episode, Dr. Greg opens up a new series focused on fleshing out a convincing Catholic response to the gender confusion in our culture today; he proposes an answer to an important question about the purpose of being created as male and female. (Note: Mature Content) Discussed in this episode: The impossibility of changing one's gender; The philosophy of John Paul II and how it can serve as a foundation for understanding our bodies; The teleological capacity of the human person; What no one in the Church seems to be talking about in regards to our creation as men and women; A proposal to the question of why we are made as male and female; Fruitfulness as a consequence of every free, total, faithful gift given between a man and a woman; How, as Catholics, we have the full spectrum of ways to arrive at truth available to us; The need to coalesce around a vision of gender, sex, and the human person's purpose.
