Qasem Waleed is a 28-year-old physicist who has lived in Gaza his whole life. In 2024, he joined a chorus of Palestinians sharing videos and pictures and writing about the chaos and violence they were living through, as Israel's military bombardment devastated their lives. But Qasem was trying to describe his reality through the lens of the most notoriously confusing and inscrutable field of science ever, quantum mechanics. We talked to him, from a cafe near the Al-Mawasi section of Gaza, to find out why. And over the course of several conversations, he told us how this reality-breaking corner of science has helped him survive. And how such unspeakable violence actually let him understand, in a visceral way, quantum mechanics' most counter-intuitive ideas. Special thanks to Katya Rogers, Karim Kattan, Allan Adams, Sarah Qari, Soren Wheeler, and Pat WaltersEPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Lulu MillerProduced by - Jessica Yungwith mixing help from - Jeremy BloomFact-checking by - Emily Kreigerand Edited by  - Alex NeasonEPISODE CITATIONS:Videos - A Brief History of Quantum Mechanics with Sean Carroll, The Royal Institution (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hVmeOCJjOU)Introduction to Superposition, with MIT's Allan Adams (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZ3bPUKo5zc)The Quantum Wavefunction, Explained (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOI4DlWQ_1w)Articles - Read a selection of Qasem's published essays about his life in Gaza and the quantum world: I am stuck in a box like Schrodinger's in Gaza (https://zpr.io/ALDVi9E5bRt8) Israel has turned Gaza's summer into a weapon (https://zpr.io/YS4WK4hVQC5T)The Physics of Death in Gaza (https://zpr.io/hxsgxicVqPAd) Signup for our newsletter!!

Sex as the Theater of Trauma, the Refuge of the Fragmented, and the Doorway to the Self We Fear to Meet. Krishnamurti said the human mind is endlessly escaping itself through entertainment, through belief, through identity, through addiction and sex is the most socially acceptable escape of all. Not because sex is wrong.

Basit Kareem Iqbal's new book The Dread Heights: Tribulation and Refuge after the Syrian Revolution (Fordham UP, 2025) uses ethnographic scenes from Jordan and Canada to contextualize the role of Muslim charities and community organizations that support displaced refugees from the Syrian catastrophe. Through these encounters, however, we learn not only of the limitations of secular humanitarian projects, but we are also privy to the deep theological enterprise of notions of trial and tribulation of those caught between mobility and immobility and various entangled temporalities. Iqbal and his interlocutors grapple with the asymmetrical realities of a Divine's mercy and compassion set against violence, horror, and death. It is at these junctures that we encounter an ethnography of theology, that is, how Qur'anic principles are fundamentally tested, negotiated, and stretched by everyday survivors, be they activists or humanitarian aid workers, as they forge a path ahead in the world of the living. The interpretations that arise from Iqbal's interlocutors, be they Salafi or Sufi oriented, challenges readers to contend with religious and theological sensibilities of a secular world of humanitarianism and international aid but also centers the voices of refugees. Iqbal's book is beautifully crafted. It models how one can write of such topics with care and intention without ever escaping or sensationalizing the horrors and evils faced by displaced peoples. This book will be of interest to those who work on Syria, anthropology of Islam, Islamic theology, international aid and humanitarianism and much more. Learn more about your ad choices.

As part of the Radio 4 Fatherhood season, Clare McDonnell and her guests discuss the role of fatherhood in men's lives. Darren Harriott is a 37-year-old comedian and presenter of Father Figuring. Darren has now lived longer than his dad, who took his own life while in prison, and he is questioning would he be a good dad? What even makes a good dad? They are joined by Dr Robin Hadley who has written a book looking at why men, like himself, do not become fathers.In 2016 Natalie Queiroz was stabbed 24 times by her partner while she was eight months pregnant. He is currently nine years into an 18 year sentence for attempted murder and attempted child destruction. Natalie and her unborn daughter nearly died. Earlier this year she learned that changes by the Ministry of Justice meant that her attacker could be transferred to an open prison many years earlier than she had expected.  She's been campaigning against this but has recently learned his application for a transfer has been approved. Clare hears from Natalie and Ellie Butt from Refuge.Laura Mulvey, filmmaker and pioneering feminist theorist, first coined the term ‘the male gaze'. The British Film Institute's Fellowship is a pretty starry list – Bette Davis, Martin Scorsese, Judi Dench, Tilda Swinton, Christopher Nolan, Tom Cruise....to name a few and now Laura has been added to that prestigious list. Tomorrow Women's Super League Football will officially unveil Design Guidelines for the Delivery of Elite Women's Stadiums in England – a world first framework supporting clubs, local authorities, and architects in building or upgrading venues specifically for their women's teams. They say the rapid growth of the women's game has demonstrated that football venues, historically built and designed for male players and fans, need to be better equipped to cater towards the specific needs of female athletes and supporters. Hannah Buckley, Head of Infrastructure, Safety and Sustainability for WSL football and Suzy Wrack, women's football correspondent for the Guardian discuss.

(Insight Meditation Society - Retreat Center) Poems, stories, and reflections on taking refuge in the truth of the dharma.

Who do you turn to when you have an emergency? Maybe you have close friends or family who help you out when bad times come. Or maybe you're doing your best to just cope with life's struggles on your own. Whatever the case may be, when troubles come, you can turn with confidence to God. He is the One with the power, and the desire, and the commitment to really help you. Whether you know Him or not, He's already made you a promise—He's just waiting for you to say yes. Here's what God's book of truth says about His promise: So God has given both his promise and his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as we hold to the hope that lies before us. This is a promise for you today. Come to God and find refuge. Always remember, there is hope with God. Scripture Reference: Hebrews 6:18 radio.hopewithgod.com

God is... - Part 5 - Refuge by

By Andrew C Lee - While we see in the news about famous and wealthy people building refuges in attempt to protect themselves, and while there are many who escape their problems by immersing themselves in physical things of this world, where do we place our trust for our refuge? Are we cultivating our faith in God to

Transcript:Nl: De zon scheen fel boven het verlaten landschap.En: The sun shone brightly over the deserted landscape.Nl: De lucht was blauw, maar toch voelde alles somber aan.En: The sky was blue, yet everything felt somber.Nl: Er was niets anders dan stilte en wind.En: There was nothing but silence and wind.Nl: Bram en Jolien stapten voorzichtig over het barstende asfalt.En: Bram and Jolien cautiously stepped over the cracking asphalt.Nl: "Hier ergens moet er iets zijn," zei Bram, terwijl hij zijn ogen over de horizon liet gaan.En: "There must be something here somewhere," said Bram, as he let his eyes wander over the horizon.Nl: Zijn stem klonk vastbesloten, al verried een lichte trilling zijn vermoeidheid.En: His voice sounded determined, though a slight tremor betrayed his fatigue.Nl: Hij was altijd op zijn hoede voor gevaar.En: He was always wary of danger.Nl: Jolien keek naar hem op.En: Jolien looked up at him.Nl: "Denk je dat we het vandaag vinden?"En: "Do you think we'll find it today?"Nl: vroeg ze zacht.En: she asked softly.Nl: Ze waren een paar weken onderweg.En: They had been on the road for a few weeks.Nl: Alles wat ooit normaal was, leek nu gewoon een verre herinnering.En: Everything that was once normal now seemed like a distant memory.Nl: Bomen stonden als stille wachters langs de weg, en lege huizen stonden er als lege hulzen.En: Trees stood like silent sentinels along the road, and empty houses stood like hollow shells.Nl: Plotseling zagen ze in de verte een vervallen nederzetting.En: Suddenly, they saw a dilapidated settlement in the distance.Nl: "Daar," zei Bram, met een knikje.En: "There," said Bram, with a nod.Nl: Ze liepen ernaartoe, in de hoop op iets bruikbaars.En: They walked towards it, hoping for something useful.Nl: Het was een gok, maar ze hadden geen keuze.En: It was a gamble, but they had no choice.Nl: Jolien aarzelde even.En: Jolien hesitated for a moment.Nl: "Wat als daar anderen zijn?"En: "What if there are others there?"Nl: vroeg ze bezorgd.En: she asked worriedly.Nl: "We moeten het riskeren," antwoordde Bram.En: "We have to take the risk," replied Bram.Nl: "De kans dat we iets vinden, is het waard."En: "The chance of finding something is worth it."Nl: Bij het dorp aangekomen, zagen ze onmiddellijk beweging.En: Upon arriving at the village, they immediately saw movement.Nl: Een groep andere overlevenden bevond zich al in de nederzetting.En: A group of other survivors was already in the settlement.Nl: Bram en Jolien stapten voorzichtig naar voren.En: Bram and Jolien cautiously stepped forward.Nl: De spanning was voelbaar in de lucht.En: The tension was palpable in the air.Nl: Jolien keek haar broer aan, en hij wanhoopte snel in haar ogen.En: Jolien looked at her brother, and he quickly saw the despair in her eyes.Nl: Bram hief zijn hand op, als teken dat ze vrede wilden.En: Bram raised his hand, as a sign that they wanted peace.Nl: "We zoeken geen problemen," zei hij duidelijk.En: "We're not looking for trouble," he said clearly.Nl: "Misschien kunnen we elkaar helpen."En: "Maybe we can help each other."Nl: Een oudere man uit de andere groep stapte naar voren.En: An older man from the other group stepped forward.Nl: "Niemand kan nog alles alleen doen," zei hij.En: "No one can do everything alone anymore," he said.Nl: "Laten we praten."En: "Let's talk."Nl: Ze gingen zitten tussen de half omgevallen gebouwen.En: They sat down among the half-collapsed buildings.Nl: De onderhandelingen begonnen.En: The negotiations began.Nl: Bram was vastberaden om dit goed te doen.En: Bram was determined to make this work.Nl: Terwijl ze spraken, realiseerde Jolien zich dat er hoop was.En: As they spoke, Jolien realized there was hope.Nl: Misschien vonden ze hier een plek om te blijven.En: Maybe they found a place to stay here.Nl: De anderen stemden in om de voorraden te delen.En: The others agreed to share the supplies.Nl: Het was een riskante beslissing, maar het antwoord was positief.En: It was a risky decision, but the response was positive.Nl: Ze zouden samenwerken om een veilige plek te creëren.En: They would work together to create a safe place.Nl: Voor Bram was het een ontlading van spanning.En: For Bram, it was a release of tension.Nl: Hij realiseerde zich dat hij niet alleen hoefde te dragen.En: He realized he did not have to carry everything alone.Nl: Jolien voelde zich eindelijk deel van iets groters.En: Jolien finally felt part of something bigger.Nl: Ze glimlachte naar Bram.En: She smiled at Bram.Nl: "We hebben een start," fluisterde ze.En: "We have a start," she whispered.Nl: Samen met de anderen begonnen ze het dorp op te knappen.En: Together with the others, they began to renovate the village.Nl: Het was niet eenvoudig, maar het voelde juist.En: It was not easy, but it felt right.Nl: Langzaam maar zeker veranderde de ruïne in een plek die ze thuis konden noemen.En: Slowly but surely, the ruin transformed into a place they could call home.Nl: De zon ging onder terwijl de warme wind door de verlaten straten blies, en de wereld leek een beetje minder vijandig.En: The sun set as the warm wind blew through the deserted streets, and the world seemed a little less hostile.Nl: Bram leerde dat samenwerken de weg naar overleven was.En: Bram learned that cooperation was the key to survival.Nl: Jolien ontdekte haar eigen kracht en hoop.En: Jolien discovered her own strength and hope.Nl: De wereld was misschien veranderend en onvoorspelbaar, maar hier, in de ruïnes van het verleden, groeide een nieuw begin.En: The world might have been changing and unpredictable, but here, in the ruins of the past, a new beginning was growing.Nl: En onder de sterrenhemel beloofden ze elkaar dat ze elke uitdaging samen zouden aangaan.En: And under the starry sky, they promised each other that they would face every challenge together.

He is the author of several books, the most recent one being Pessimism, Quietism and Nature as Refuge. In this episode, we focus on Pessimism, Quietism and Nature as Refuge. We start by discussing what is misanthropy, what is pessimism, and how pessimism combines with misanthropy. We talk about the human condition, and whether it can be improved. We then get into quietism, nature as refuge, and preserving nature.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Episode 2788: Linda Sulvita reveals how embracing sensitivity, often dismissed as weakness, can become a powerful force for healing and connection. Her story of intuitive compassion leading to a stranger's breakthrough shows how deeply attuned, emotionally aware people can change lives simply by showing up as their true selves. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://highlysensitiverefuge.com/sensitivity-answered-prayer/ Quotes to ponder: "I thought I was 'fixing' myself, or getting rid of a weakness. The truth is, I was suppressing my biggest strength." "If you are also sensitive, and you can feel others' pain: Do it. Let nothing stop you." "It is safe to be who you are. And it is time. The world needs you."

What was life really like for the poor and powerless in the wake of the Napoleonic Wars? In this episode of the Explaining History podcast, we're joined by Katharine Quarmby, author of the powerful new historical novel, The Low Road.Set in 1813, The Low Road is a story of hardship, struggle, and love found in the most brutal corners of English life. Based on a true story unearthed from her hometown in Norfolk, Catherine's novel follows an orphaned girl, Hannah, as she navigates the cruel institutions of the time—from the philanthropic but oppressive Refuge for the Destitute in London to the harsh reality of transportation to Australia.We delve deep into the history, discussing:The "age of austerity" and economic slump that crushed the rural poor after the Napoleonic Wars.The brutal system of transportation—the largest forced migration of British people in history—and its dual injustice to those exiled and Indigenous populations.The hidden lives of women in service, the systemic predation they faced, and the stark choices they had to make.The surprising and tender queer relationships that flourished in the all-female spaces of workhouses and convict ships, and how these bonds of love and loyalty became a form of resistance.Join us for a fascinating conversation that uncovers the resilience of the human spirit against a backdrop of state violence and social injustice. The Low Road is a masterful work that brings a forgotten history vividly to life.Purchase Katharine Quarmby's The Low Road from your favourite independent bookseller, in the show notes below.Find the Explaining History Podcast wherever you get your podcasts.Explaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

Jeff Smith checks in with three boots-on-the-ground voices to break down how California's opener really went—and what to expect as November weather finally shows up. Guests include Garrett Spann (Manager, Yolo Wildlife Area), Derek Seweck (Wildlife Habitat Manager, Upper Butte Basin), and Orlando Rocha (Environmental Scientist, Grizzly Island Wildlife Area).What you'll hearOpener by the numbers — solid starts in spots, soft elsewhere; teal and wigeon led many straps while mallards were patchy.Why it felt “quiet” — late rice harvest, limited flood-up in key zones, and a streak of 80°+ bluebird days that scattered birds.Flood-up status & timing — which units are online now, what's filling next, and how that will shift day-to-day bird use.Local patterns — Yolo's steady trickle of new water holding birds, Upper Butte's wood-duck swing not materializing (yet), and Grizzly Island's east vs. west marsh differences.Youth & access intel — how the Howard Slough youth area and nearby rice options are structured (free roam vs. blinds), plus what to expect on busy Saturdays.Pintail reality check — 3-bird limit is on the books, but most hunters haven't hit it… yet; watch for classic December–January rice flights.Hunt smarter in the lull — read wind and pressure, pivot units as new water comes up, and be ready when the first real fronts push fresh birds.If you're lining up your next reservation or boat-in plan, this roundtable gives you a clear read on conditions, timing, and the moves that'll matter when the weather finally flips.

Daniel 3:14-30 “Refuge in the Fire”Series: The Old, Old Stories Preacher: Derrick HarrisSunday MorningDate: 2nd November 2025

Jesus, the greatest teacher who ever lived, spent a lot of time giving out wisdom in the form of stories. Once, He told His disciples a story that illustrated the importance of understanding that God never quits us, and we should not quit Him.Luke 18:1 says, “One day Jesus told his disciples a story to show that they should always pray and never give up.”That story was about a woman who didn't give up in her pursuit of justice. Jesus then said that God hears our pleas for what we need, and He acts accordingly. He doesn't forget or lose interest. Ever.Isn't that one of the most comforting things you've ever heard? In all the messes of our lives, God does not give up on us, no matter where we are. He knows everything about us, and His infinite strength is far too much for evil to overcome, and His grace covers all of our brokenness.Let's pray.Lord, thank you for your willingness to stay with us in the worst of times. You are our strength, now and forever. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!
