Philip Yancey is an American author who grew up in a strict fundamentalist Christian home, which led to a mistrust and eventually deconstruction of his faith. Yancey turned his attention to books and the Bible and eventually began to reconstruct his faith in God. Join Unscrolled host Matthias Walther as he talks to author Philip Yancey about his faith journey, upbringing, and how his writing and reading helped reconstruct his faith. Guest bio:Philip Yancey is a Christian, American author who has written 36 books, selling over 15 million copies. Philip Yancey grew up in a strict, fundamentalist church in the South, where he viewed God as a punishing figure and witnessed contradictions in teachings of love and grace. After his father died of polio despite fervent prayers, Yancey wrestled with faith, finding solace and new perspectives in books like “To Kill a Mockingbird” and C. S. Lewis's works. He felt betrayed by the church's racism and dogma, eventually discarding his beliefs and later rediscovering a faith marked by beauty and goodness. As a writer, he pursued answers to deep spiritual questions in bestsellers like “Disappointment with God,” and “What's So Amazing aAbout Grace?,” often drawing from his own journey and guiding readers with similar struggles. His memoir, “Where the Light Fell,” recounts this personal evolution, while his life's work aims to connect with those who feel marginalized by traditional religion.

"I walked away for a pretty long time..."No one expects to walk away from their faith after graduation. It was definitely a huge surprise for Rocco. He'd been highly involved in his InterVarsity chapter. He attended Urbana. And he was excited and hopeful about life after graduation. But loneliness, overworking, and extremely intelligent co-workers who didn't believe in Jesus left him experiencing an unexpected crisis of faith. This week, we hear Rocco's story of walking away from Jesus after graduation. But walking away wasn't the end. Through a series of events that sound like the setup to a bad dad joke, one lonely evening in the middle of a work trip the Holy Spirit, Rocco's campus staff, and his grandma intervened. And everything (slowly) started to change for Rocco.RELATED EPISODESE171: Disappointing Faith. Unfailing God.

Amidst the financial doldrums that followed the American Civil War, Charlestonians struggled to reconstruct their politics, rebuild their economy, and repair a neglected streetscape. Budget constraints compelled officials of the late 1860s and 1870s to perpetuate old-fashioned paving habits and to recycle outdated materials, but a few novel additions to the public right-of-way cheered the spirits of local drivers, pedestrians, and velocipedestrians.
En este episodio, nos sumergimos en la vía motora más determinante del sistema nervioso humano: el tracto corticoespinal. A través de un recorrido detallado por su evolución, desarrollo, anatomía y función, analizamos por qué esta vía representa la gran apuesta evolutiva por la motricidad fina y por qué su lesión tiene consecuencias tan devastadoras. Hablamos de neurofisiología, de plasticidad, de evaluación con TMS y DTI, de terapias intensivas, neuromodulación, farmacología, robótica y de las posibilidades —y límites— reales de su regeneración tras un ictus. Si te interesa entender en profundidad cómo se ejecuta el movimiento voluntario y qué ocurre cuando esa vía falla, este episodio es para ti. Referencias del episodio: 1.

There's a rough stretch of water between Australia and Tasmania called the Bass Strait. Within the strait there's a group of islands called the Furneaux Group. Within the group lies Long Island, a small, mostly-uninhabited stretch of grass and trees that attracted the attention of Madeleine Bessel-Koprek and her colleagues. We're traveling far afield on today's episode, discussing paleoecology with Madeine, a Ph.D. student at Australian National University. Along with Simon Graeme Haberle, Stefania Ondei, Stephen Harris, and David MJS Bowman, she recently published a study unraveling the ecological history of their Long Island. It's a fascinating combination of diligent field work – digging through mud and picking through moss- and meticulous lab work – pouring through microscopic samples and digitally deciphering aerial photographs. Their scientific detective work uncovers a natural world that has in some ways persisted since the last Ice Age and helps inform our understanding of the impact of aboriginal and colonial activities in the area.

The fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century was not merely the collapse of a political order or the ruin of marble monuments. It was the slow eclipse of an entire world – a complex tapestry of cultural practices, technical know-how, intellectual traditions, and spiritual paradigms – many of which vanished forever. Historians often highlight the sack of cities and the demise of imperial authority, yet beyond the smoking ruins lies an even greater tragedy: the loss of ways of life and thought that had no true successor. Reconstructing these forgotten dimensions of Roman civilization requires equal parts scholarship and imagination. What follows is an academic meditation on those elusive losses – facets of Roman society unique to their time, only partially understood today, and largely without modern analog. Each represents a thread of human experience that was severed in the aftermath of Rome's fall, leaving later generations in a poorer world, often unaware of what had been lost.
The new episode of the Justice Visions podcast turns the spotlight on the role of documentation in transitional justice. This theme will guide much of our future work as Tine Destrooper's project GROUNDOC “Innovation and documentation: Reconstructing the paradigm of transitional justice from the ground up” was awarded an ERC Grant. In this conversation Tine Destrooper, Brigitte Herremans, and Elke Evrard explore the centrality of documentation in TJ initiatives. They discuss how innovations in documentation practices – particularly those emerging from grassroots actors – challenge us to reimagine the TJ paradigm. Highlighting the politics of documentation, Elke Evrard emphasizes how community-based acts challenge conventional notions of evidence and foreground questions of narrative ownership. She also draws attention to the increasing role of new media and digital technologies in documentation processes. While these tools may democratize the landscape because they offer new possibilities for collecting, verifying, and preserving evidence, “the expertise and the technical knowledge that these tools require, can also reinforce certain existing power imbalances between who is creating knowledge and whose knowledge is validated.” Drawing on her research in Syria and Palestine, Brigitte Herremans highlights how grassroots actors are using innovative approaches to documentation as a baseline for proposing new ways of 'doing transitional justice'. For these justice actors, documentation is not only intended to facilitate judicial proceedings, it is a counter-hegemonic practice that challenges epistemic injustice in various ways. “It's not just 'cold archiving', but the cold archiving is also part of it. And that's so interesting: the interaction between a variety of actors who understand that what they're doing together serves a higher purpose, because they need to resist the erasure of these violations.” Tine Destrooper emphasizes that these contemporary and experimental transitional justice practices are causing a paradigm shift. A more ecosystemic understanding of transitional justice is needed, and documentation efforts driven by grassroots justice actors are a central component thereof. This emerging reality requires us to "rethink transitional justice and transitional justice change theories from the ground up, not just to respond to two decades of increasingly critical transitional justice scholarship, but also to really better capture the reality of those contemporary transitional justice struggles.”

Douglas Murray, revered cultural critic and author, delivers the highlight of Ralston College's symposium of “Renewal and Renaissance,” a lecture exploring the theme of cultural reconstruction. Delivered from one of the beautiful, stately galleries of Savannah's Telfair Academy, the audience is treated to an intimate address that is both deeply moving and inspiring of hope. Murray's talk begins with the sober reflection that civilizations are mortal and share the fragility of life. He recounts how the loss of confidence experienced after the catastrophes of the World Wars led to the development of modernism, postmodernism and finally deconstructionism. The lecture then takes a more optimistic turn as Murray confidently asserts that after decades of deconstruction, especially in the field of higher education, we are now entering an era of reconstruction. He explains how this process of cultural renewal can come about through both the opportunities afforded by technology and the process of going back into the great literary treasures of the past, finding our place amongst these works and adding to them. Murray shares his love of books, describing himself as “not only a bibliophile but something of a bibliomaniac,” and expresses how literature, and especially poetry, can ground us in the world and make us feel that we are never alone for we will always have “friends on the shelves.” Traversing through Byron, Gnedich, Stoppard, Auden and Heaney, Murray recounts three powerful stories that reveal the lengths certain individuals will go to recover, preserve and transmit our cultural treasures. The talk was followed by a captivating Q&A session which ranged from the current status of poetry to the topics of writing, war and human nature. As part of the stirring introduction to the lecture from Stephen Blackwood, President of Ralston College, soprano Kristi Bryson performed Handel's Lascia ch'io pianga, accompanied on the piano by Ralston alumna and fellow, Olivia Jensen. A splendid performance showcasing perfectly the ability of culture to transcend the difficulties of life through the power of beauty. A reminder for us all of exactly what it is that we are seeking to preserve and renew. Mr Murray's books, including his most recent, are available here: https://douglasmurray.net.

April Energy Forecast Theme 1: The Sacred Art of Reconstructing the Self: A Sacred Bridge to Soul Embodiment + Tools After the karmic clearing and eclipse revelations of March, April invites us into a liminal space—a place of not-yet-knowing, but deep becoming. In this episode, we walk the threshold between who we were and who we are becoming, tuning into the energetic, emotional, and psychological aspects of identity transformation.This is more than healing—it's intentional rebuilding.✨ We're not rushing. We're re-architecting our lives from Soul Light Truth, not survival scripts.✨ We're not clinging to what was. We're attuning to what wants to rise.✨ And we're remembering: This in-between space is not delay—it's Divine reconstruction.

This month also brings solar plexus clearing and activation—which means willpower, identity, and power patterns are being cleared and restructured.This is a quick but important update. I know I mentioned some physical symptoms in the April 2025 Energy Forecast, but I've been feeling them so strongly that I wanted to speak directly to them here—because chances are, you might be feeling this, too.One of the biggest things I've been noticing—and maybe you have too—is just how intense the solar plexus clearing and activation has been.At the end of March and into April, I've been moving through a deep wave of fatigue and recalibration, especially centered in the stomach area/the solar plexus. And here's what's going on:The solar plexus is the energetic center of our willpower, identity, confidence, and personal power. It's also where we hold a lot of karmic patterns, ancestral imprints, and control-based energy. So when higher frequencies of Light and truth start to stream in—especially after Eclipse season—this part of the body has to clear out old density first before it can receive the activation.You can't integrate more Light if there's no room for it.So what we're feeling is both a release and an acclimation:The release of stored fear, control, self-doubt, or trauma that's been stuck in the gutAnd the acclimation to a new energetic frequency—one that requires us to carry personal power in a new wayThis shift can feel like exhaustion, heaviness, or even waves of emotional release tied to self-worth or feeling safe in your own power.
April 2025 carries the frequency of Soul embodiment, sacred reconstruction, and multidimensional integration. In this episode, I walk you through the April energy forecast—not just as a list of dates or themes, but as a living roadmap. Together, we explore the spiritual architecture of April in categories that matter: personal identity, relationships, physical health, purposeful work, environment, and the key energetic shifts of each week. This month is about more than navigating the unknown—it's about building your next chapter from alignment, not urgency.Let this be your companion guide to living April with mindfulness, heart presence, and energetic clarity.

I'm your host, Kate Shaw. When you think about cephalopods, if that's a word you know, you probably think of octopuses and squid, maybe cuttlefish. But those aren't the only cephalopods, and in particular in the past, there used to be even more cephalopods that are even weirder than the ones we have today. Cephalopods are in the family Mollusca along with snails and clams, and many other animals. The first ancestral cephalopods date back to the Cambrian, and naturally we don't know a whole lot about them since that was around 500 million years ago. We have fossilized shells that were only a few centimeters long at most, although none of the specimens we've found are complete. By about 475 million years ago, these early cephalopod ancestors had mostly died out but had given rise to some amazing animals called Endocerids. Endocerids had shells that were mostly cone-shaped, like one of those pointy-ended ice cream cones but mostly larger and not as tasty. Most were pretty small, usually only a few feet long, or less than a meter, but some were really big. The largest Endoceras giganteum fossil we have is just under 10 feet long, or 3 meters, and it isn't complete. Some scientists estimate that it might have been almost 19 feet long, or about 5.75 meters, when it was alive. But that's just the long, conical shell. What did the animal that lived in the shell look like? We don't know, but scientists speculate that it had a squid-like body. The head and arms were outside of the shell's opening, while the main part of the body was protected by the front part of the shell. We know it had arms because we have arm impressions in sections of fossilized sea floor that show ten arms that are all about the same length. We don't know if the arms had suckers the way many modern cephalopods do, and some scientists suggest it had ridges on the undersides of the arms that helped it grab prey, the way modern nautiluses do. It also had a hood-shaped structure on top of its head called an operculum, which is also seen in nautiluses. This probably allowed Endoceras giganteum to pull its head and arms into its shell and use the operculum to block the shell's entrance. We don't know what colors the shells were, but some specimens seem to show a mottled or spotted pattern. The interior of Endoceras giganteum's shell was made up of chambers, some of which were filled with calcium deposits that helped balance the body weight, so the animal didn't have trouble dragging it around. 3D models of the shells show that they could easily stick straight up in the water, but we also have trace fossils that show drag marks of the shell through sediment. Scientists think Endoceras was mainly an ambush predator, sitting quietly until a small animal got too close. Then it would grab it with its arms. It could also crawl around to find a better spot to hunt, and younger individuals that had smaller shells were probably a lot more active. We talked about ammonites way back in episode 86. Ammonites were really common in the fossil record for hundreds of millions of years, only going extinct at the same time as the dinosaurs. Some ammonites lived at the bottom of the ocean in shallow water, but many swam or floated throughout the ocean. Many ammonite fossils look like snail shells, but the shell contains sections inside called chambers. The largest chamber, at the end of the shell, was for the ammonite's body,

In this episode we take a rare look at Somalia's formative, pre-civil war years (1960-90), which saw the birth of soomaalinimo - Somali patriotism. This national mood inspired people to put aside the clan identities so heavily manipulated by the colonial powers and dedicate themselves to the creation of a new, culturally authentic, but also modern, national identity. And this was expressed in gorgeous, lyrical songs with influences from Arab art music, Hindi film songs and rich local traditions. Our principal guide is Lidwien Kapteijns (Professor of History at Wellesley College) whose book Women's Voices in a Man's World focuses on popular songs of this hopeful era shaped the changing lives and status of women. We'll hear beautiful archival recordings and get inside the crucial debates and gender negotiations contained in their lyrics. We'll also learn why the promise of this all-but-forgotten era have never been realized in Somalia. Produced by Banning Eyre.

This week's episode of then & now is part of a series examining the effects of one of the most powerful and destructive natural disasters in U.S. history: the Los Angeles Wildfires. Co-sponsored by the L.A. History Collaborative— a new consortium of cultural institutions and historians committed to using the tools of history to assist in the reconstruction of the lives and stories of those deeply affected by the L.A. Wildfires—we sit down with E. Randol Schoenberg, an LA-based lawyer and genealogist, to discuss the lives and cultural property lost during this devastating event. As the grandson of Austrian-American composers Arnold Schoenberg and Erich Zeisl, both of whom emigrated to the U.S. to escape the terror of Nazism in Europe and subsequently settled in West L.A, Randy serves as a custodian of his family's historical legacy. Tragically, Randy's family not only lost several homes in the fires but also the entire inventory of sales and rental materials from Belmont Music Publishers, which included manuscripts, original scores, and printed works. The German-Jewish immigrant community has experienced significant cultural loss due to the wildfires, as the Pacific Palisades has historically served as a social hub for German-speaking cultural figures in the mid-twentieth century. In order to memorialize what has been lost, Randy underscores the necessity of recounting and documenting this critical history.E. Randol Schoenberg is an American lawyer and genealogist, based in Los Angeles, California, specializing in legal cases related to the recovery of looted or stolen artworks, particularly those by the Nazi regime during the Holocaust. Schoenberg is widely known as one of the central figures of the 2015 film Woman in Gold, which depicted the case of Maria Altmann against the government of Austria. He is also the subject of the 2023 genealogical documentary Fioretta.Further ReadingBelmont Music PublishersA treasure house of composer Arnold Schoenberg's music destroyed in Palisades fireAfter Nazi Plunder, A Quest To Bring Home The 'Woman In Gold'Villa Aurora

In this episode of the Biohacker Babes, we sit down with Dr. Robert Whitfield, a renowned plastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience, to dive deep into the topic of Breast Implant Illness. Dr. Whitfield breaks down what Breast Implant Illness (BII) is, its symptoms, and who may be at risk. We explore the common myths surrounding the condition, how to recognize the signs & symptoms, and why many patients experience frustration when seeking answers. We also discuss explant surgery--the process of removing implants--and its potential health benefits. Additionally, we unpack the role of mold toxicity, biofilms, and heavy metals, lesser known issues that can affect those with breast implants. Tune in for an informative conversation that sheds light on an important but often misunderstood issue affecting women today.A plastic surgeon for over 25 years, Dr. Robert Whitfield previously specialized in working with cancer, burn, and critically ill patients, and reconstruction for breast, head, and neck. In 2016, one patient gave him a deeper purpose when she came into his clinic for a consultation regarding her existing breast implants and was battling a number of symptoms including headaches, chronic fatigue, joint and muscle pain, and much more. This led Dr. Whitfield on his path to helping women who suffer from Breast Implant Illness (BII) and to date, he has performed thousands of explant surgeries. Unique to his practice, Dr. Whitfield believes it is important to combine functional medicine as a core part of his work. He developed the SHARP method (Strategic Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program), a series of protocols (testing, GI mapping, supplementation, nutritional counseling, etc.) to help reduce systemic inflammation and assist patients who are both preparing for or recovering from surgical procedures, cosmetic or otherwise.SHOW NOTES:0:39 Welcome to the show!2:40 Dr Robert Whitfield's bio3:24 Welcome him to the podcast!5:32 What is Breast Implant Illness?6:40 How the United States treats BII differently9:28 Reconstructing with your own abdominal tissue10:20 Does everyone with implants need to be concerned about Breast Implant Illness?14:21 Reducing swelling in tissue during surgery17:39 Who is the most susceptible to BII?19:42 Mold toxicity as an upstream stressor21:38 The biggest strains of bacteria found on implants24:25 Catching up on new breast implant research26:40 *CAROL BIKE*28:05 *MAGNESIUM BREAKTHROUGH*29:15 Biofilms & the immune system31:52 Detoxing before vs after38:02 Heavy metals & breast implants39:29 Should you use Saunas with implants?43:15 Timeline for surgery & healing46:54 MRIs & Ultrasounds for ruptures47:47 Fat transfers & weight loss drugs53:16 Dr. Whitfield's Resources & Learning center57:12 His final piece of advice58:32 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Website: drrobertwhitfield.comMetaOxy TestCarol Bike - Discount code: biohackerbabes for $250 off BiOptimizer's Magnesium Breakthrough - Discount code: biohackerbabes10Our Sponsors:* Check out Effecty and use my code BIOHACKERBABES for a great deal: https://www.effecty.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Speaker: Arman Sarvarian, University of SurreyDate: Friday Lunchtime Lecture: Friday 31 January 2025Dr Arman Sarvarian will speak about his forthcoming monograph The Law of State Succession: Principles and Practice to be published by Oxford University Press in April. The product of seven years' labour of approximately 170,000 words, the work includes a foreword by Professor August Reinisch of the University of Vienna and International Law Commission. The following is the summary of Oxford University Press:'The Law of State Succession: Principles and Practice provides a comprehensive, practical, and empirical overview of the topic, establishing State succession as a distinct field with a cohesive set of rules.From the secession of the United States of America in 1784 to that of South Sudan in 2011, the book digests and analyses State practice spanning more than two centuries. It is based on research into a wide and diverse range of case studies, including archival and previously unpublished data. Reconstructing the intellectual foundation of the field, the book offers a vision for its progressive development - one that is rooted in an interpretation of State practice that transcends the politics of the codification projects in the decolonization and desovietization eras.The book examines international law on State succession with respect to territorial rights and obligations, State property (including archives) and debt, treaties, international claims and responsibility, as well as nationality and private property (including concessions and investments). Its central focus is identifying the general rules of international law in order to guide States in the negotiation of succession agreements, the interpretation of ambiguous or incomplete provisions, and the regulation of succession in default of specific agreement.A highly relevant work, The Law of State Succession offers governments, judges, legal practitioners, and scholars an authoritative account of the current law. It enables negotiators to identify different legal paths within succession and assists adjudicators in interpreting provisions of succession agreements and regulating questions omitted from such agreements.' The book is available for pre-order at the OUP website.Dr Arman Sarvarian a public international lawyer in academia and private practice. A Reader in Public International Law at the University of Surrey, he regularly acts as legal adviser and counsel to States, companies and individuals. He is counsel to the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire in the pending Obligations of States in respect of Climate Change advisory proceedings of the International Court of Justice and counsel in two pending investor-State arbitrations. Since 2019, he has served as legal adviser to the Republic of Armenia at the Legal Committee of the UN General Assembly for the annual reports of the International Law Commission and International Court of Justice as well as multilateral negotiations on reform of investor-State arbitration in Working Group III of the UN Commission on International Trade Law. He served as judge ad hoc in the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights in 2020.A generalist of broad interests and expertise, his first monograph Professional Ethics at the International Bar (Oxford University Press, International Courts and Tribunals Series, 19 September 2013) was the first comprehensive work on the subject and has been widely cited, including in proceedings before the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, investment arbitrations and the International Court of Justice. His second monograph The Law of State Succession: Principles and Practice will be published by Oxford University Press in April 2025. He is a Humboldt Research Fellow in Climate Change Law at the University of Kiel from 2024 to 2026. Chair: Dr Jamie Trinidad, Centre Fellow

My guest today is Jonathon Wilson-Hartgrove. Wilson-Hartgrove is a writer, preacher, and moral activist. He is an assistant director at the Center for Public Theology and Public Policy at Yale Divinity School. Wilson-Hartgrove lives with his family at the Rutba House, a house of hospitality in Durham, North Carolina that he founded with H his wife, Leah. Wilson-Hartgrove directs the School for Conversion, a popular education center in Durham committed to "making surprising friendships possible," and is an associate minister at St. John's Missionary Baptist Church. Jonathan is the author or coauthor of more than a dozen books, including Reconstructing the Gospel, The Third Reconstruction, and Strangers at My Door. About White Poverty: How Exposing Myths About Race and Class Can Reconstruct American Democracy (Liveright, 2024): One of the most pernicious and persistent myths in the United States is the association of Black skin with poverty. Though there are forty million more poor white people than Black people, most Americans, both Republicans and Democrats, continue to think of poverty--along with issues like welfare, unemployment, and food stamps--as solely a Black problem. Why is this so? What are the historical causes? And what are the political consequences that result? These are among the questions that the Reverend Dr. William J. Barber II, a leading advocate for the rights of the poor and the "closest person we have to Dr. King" (Cornel West), addresses in White Poverty, a groundbreaking work that exposes a legacy of historical myths that continue to define both white and Black people, creating in the process what might seem like an insuperable divide. Analyzing what has changed since the 1930s, when the face of American poverty was white, Barber, along with Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove, addresses white poverty as a hugely neglected subject that just might provide the key to mitigating racism and bringing together tens of millions of working class and impoverished Americans. Thus challenging the very definition of who is poor in America, Barber writes about the lies that prevent us from seeing the pain of poor white families who have been offered little more than their "whiteness" and angry social media posts to sustain them in an economy where the costs of housing, healthcare, and education have skyrocketed while wages have stagnated for all but the very rich. Asserting in Biblically inspired language that there should never be shame in being poor, White Poverty lifts the hope for a new "moral fusion movement" that seeks to unite people "who have been pitted against one another by politicians (and billionaires) who depend on the poorest of us not being here."

Kate lived for many years in a hazy and numbing dialectic, thinking that her life was “perfect”, but also having a vague and gnawing sense that just under the surface something was terribly wrong. This is a story of forgetting and remembering, a story of finding a therapist who was willing and able to sit through years of hateful negative transference and let Kate work through her parent-child wounds. And finally this is a story of MDMA and psilocybin helping someone move forward through the minefield of trauma.
