I'm thrilled to announce two new small-group tours for 2026! The first is a 6-day French Revolution & Napoleon tour in Paris this October. The second is a 10-day Christmas Markets & History tour across France, Germany, and Austria this December. JOIN THE WAITLIST They are two very different journeys, but both are built around the same idea: thoughtful, history-led travel for people who want more than a quick overview and a checklist of sights. The Paris tour is the more focused of the two. It is centred on the Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras, exploring the key places where those histories actually unfolded. The Christmas Markets tour is broader in scope and combines history, festive traditions, and beautiful winter towns. Stops in places such as Strasbourg, Nuremberg, Munich, and Salzburg, along with iconic towns in Alsace and Bavaria.  If one or both sound like your kind of journey, join the waitlist and I'll make sure you hear first when places open.

In this powerful episode of What Are You Made Of?, host Mike “C-Roc” sits down with visionary educator and MindSoil strategist Kohila Sivas, creator of the groundbreaking Readiness OS™—a soul-rooted, science-aligned framework designed to transform how people learn, think, and grow.Kohila shares her remarkable journey from surviving civil war in Sri Lanka and immigrating to Canada as a young child, to facing isolation, language barriers, and a life-altering moment at age 12 that forced her to confront the power of her own mind. Through those experiences, she discovered a life-changing insight: our brains create stories, but we are not our thoughts—and learning how to question those narratives can completely reshape our lives.Kohila reflects on how muting herself for years due to language struggles, the encouragement of a teacher who believed in her, and her deep connection with mathematics helped rebuild her confidence and curiosity. What began as tutoring eventually evolved into transformational coaching, where she focused not on grades but on rewiring how students think, learn, and see themselves. Encouraged by her husband to expand her impact, Kohila went on to develop Readiness OS™ and license her methodology to educators around the world. In this inspiring conversation, she and C-Roc explore the power of mindset, questioning the stories our brains tell us, and how turning adversity into purpose can lead to profound personal and educational transformation.Website: https://www.wholisticsuccesscodes.com/Social Media Links/Handles:https://www.facebook.com/kohilacoach/https://www.linkedin.com/m/in/kohila-sivas-2502297a/https://www.instagram.com/kohila_sivashttps://www.facebook.com/WholisticSuccessCodes/https://www.youtube.com/@WholisticSuccessCodes

In this episode of the Shift AI Podcast, Nadia Hansen, Global AI Go-To-Market Leader and Industry Advisor for Public Sector at Salesforce, joins host Boaz Ashkenazy for a live conversation recorded at Dreamforce in San Francisco on how AI agents are fundamentally reshaping government services.Nadia shares her unconventional career journey—from serving as the Chief Information Officer for Clark County in Las Vegas overseeing 2.3 million residents and 10,000 employees, to leading public sector go-to-market strategy at Salesforce. From there, the discussion dives deep into how today's government agencies are navigating digital transformation with resilience, experimentation, and a growing openness to AI-driven innovation.The conversation explores how AgentForce and agentic AI are enabling government agencies to deliver seamless digital front doors for residents—automating intake processes, streamlining permit requests, breaking down departmental silos, and providing multilingual access to public services. Nadia explains why voice technology is poised to become the next major interface for government, how co-creating AI use cases with employees drives real adoption, and why the biggest barrier to transformation is mindset, not technology.Boaz and Nadia also examine the growing challenge of shadow AI in government, why bottom-up adoption workshops outperform top-down mandates, and how cities like Kyle, Texas are experimenting with AI in safe, compliant environments. The episode closes with Nadia's powerful two-word vision for the future of work: revolutionary mindset.This episode is essential listening for public sector leaders, civic technologists, and anyone who wants to understand how AI is moving beyond individual productivity gains to transform the way government serves its communities.Chapters[00:00] From Home Depot to the C-Suite: Nadia's Career Journey[04:07] Landing at Salesforce and Repositioning CRM for Government[07:50] First and Worst Jobs: Lessons from Selling Manure[10:22] The Digital Front Door: Seamless Government Services[12:37] Selling to Government: Speak in Outcomes, Not Products[15:03] AgentForce and the Rise of Voice-First Government[17:24] Augmentation Over Replacement: Addressing the Fear of AI[19:47] Bottom-Up Adoption: Co-Creating AI Use Cases with Employees[21:13] Public Safety, Multilingual Access, and the World Cup[23:30] The Future of Work: Revolutionary MindsetConnect with Nadia HansenLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadiakhansen/Newsletter: Hack to the Future (on LinkedIn)Connect with Boaz AshkenazyLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boazashkenazy/Email: info@shiftai.fm

James Madison's participation in the American Revolution shaped not only his political philosophy but his entire approach to governance. In this episode, Dr. Katie Crawford Lackey sits down with Dr. Jay Cost to explore how Madison's revolutionary experiences—from his work on Virginia's Declaration of Rights at age 25 to his presidency during the War of 1812—reveal a leader committed to proving that self-government could work. Dr. Cost explains how Madison viewed the Revolution as an opportunity for fundamental reform based on liberal principles, and how his deep distrust of British authority influenced his diplomatic and military decisions decades later. The conversation illuminates Madison's unique talent for translating revolutionary ideals into practical political action, including his pragmatic leadership in creating the Bill of Rights and his determination to secure American sovereignty through what he saw as a "second war for independence." 

In this episode of the Revolution 250 Podcast, host Robert J. Allison welcomes Richard Howell of the Nathanael Greene Homestead for a conversation about the life and legacy of one of the most remarkable commanders of the American Revolution, Nathanael Greene.Born into a Rhode Island Quaker family and raised as an ironmaster, Greene's path to military leadership was anything but ordinary.

What made Greene such an effective commander, and why does his story still matter today?Join us for a lively exploration of strategy, character, and the complicated legacy of one of the Revolution's most brilliant generals.Tell us what you think!

Cancer treatment has long been a battle of attrition—surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy have saved countless lives, but for patients with advanced or refractory malignancies, the options remain limited. In recent years, however, a new approach has emerged that harnesses the power of the patient's own immune system to seek and destroy cancer cells with unprecedented precision. An editorial perspective, titled “CAR-T therapy: Trailblazing CAR(ing) in cancer treatment.” published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget by researchers Uzma Saqib, Monika Pandey, and Krishnan Hajela from the School of Life Sciences, Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya, Indore, India, provides an overview of this revolutionary therapeutic strategy. The paper presents the current state of CAR-T therapy, its clinical successes, and the formidable challenges that remain before it can fulfill its transformative potential.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYt9H6wPKOs Comrade Vikki gives this moving presentation to Mark international women's day 2026. Drawing in the life of Ursula Kuczynski, a German-Jewish communist who became a high-ranking Soviet spy, code-named "Sonya", she brings out the salient features of Ursula / Sonia's life. 1. She was a revolutionary, taking her full part in the liberation of the working class. 2. She was incredibly brave, overcoming great obstacles and dangers to play her part in the liberation of humanity. 3. She lived a full and meaningful life, as a cadre, communist, party member, sister, daughter, lover, wife, mother, revolutionary - and Soviet spy. 4. She overcame great obstacles to play a full role in every aspect of her life. Demonstrating the full bravery, capacity and equality of women in practice. 5. Her life demonstrated that “no revolutionary movement can succeed unless very many women take part in it.“ as such the Soviet Union liberated and inspired when as no other movement has done, raising them to full participation in every aspect of social and professional life as equals. 6. That the working class movement must advance the concrete aims of socialised provision of affordable and high quality child care, socialised cleaning services, domestic services, nursery care, schooling, socialised dining rooms / affordable high quality reastaurants for the mass of the working class if women workers are to be liberated from the domestic chores that have been their traditional lot in society. These measures make women free IN PRACTICE to pay their tile in working and running society. They were implemented in full in the USSR and socialist nations. We need these natures under capitalism and must fight for them. We will provide them under socialism. We honour Ursula, agent Sonya, who received the order of Lenin for her work in life, and having rendered incalculable service to the working class to vanquish fascism and fight imperialism, spent her retirement in the DDR, writing Children's books, bringing socialist morality and revolutionary optimism to the next generation of German workers. We remember and honour every working woman and mother on this day, we celebrate their contribution and sacrifices in raising the next generation and caring so much of humanity's burden - and we sat frankly: only socialism can bring true liberation to working written of Britain, and all nations.

March 17th is known to many as Saint Patrick's Day, but for Bostonians, it's also Evacuation Day. Centuries ago, during the buildup of the American Revolution, Boston was a city under siege. It took a drastic, strategic standoff by Patriot colonists at Dorchester Heights to send the British sailing off to Canada, and it all played out on what we now know as Evacuation Day. Jonathan Lane, Executive Director of Revolution 250 in Boston, joins the show to tell the dramatic story and share details of this year's commemoration in Dorchester. This segment is the seventh interview in our series "Revolutionary Roots", where we take a closer look at the stories, people, events, and local ties that connect New England to the nation's 250th anniversary in 2026.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Heart of the Matter Radio/Podast. Join me and Author Pam Farrel as we dive into the life of Mercy Otis Warren, the woman who used her pen to spark the American Revolution.

When does subbing morph into self-harm? The relationship between a man and his much younger trans woman lover involves intense physical abuse. The girl has a wretched history, and engages in self harm. Although she gives consent, there's also a language barrier that makes everything they do seem out of control and destructive. A bisexual woman took the plunge and came out to her conservative Catholic mother. Although her mother didn't completely melt down, she has a ways to go before she reaches acceptance. What will it take to move her mother into the light? Our guest this week is Intimacy Coordinator Yehuda Duenyas. He and Dan talk about what an Intimacy Coordinator does, and whether they should be required on a movie set. How a director's prompt can sometimes be as vague as "They Have Sex" and it's up to the IC to flesh out how that should look to the audience. How portraying scenes of abuse can be wrenching for sensitive male actors. And of course, Dan has Yehuda answer a couple of sex questions too. A little of this conversation is on the Micro and the whole thing is on the Magnum. Finally, is it possible for a man to both come and pee at the same time...in his girlfriend's mouth? Sadly, this is not a theoretical question. Ask Dan ANY kind of question. Q@Savage.Love 206-302-2064 This episode is brought to you by Helix Sleep. Right now, Helix is offering 27% off site wide.

We talk with historian Ryan Cole about memory, gratitude, and the young republic's most celebrated guest.  Cole's new book, The Last Adieu:  Lafayette's Triumphant Return, the Echoes of Revolution, and the Gratitude of the Republic , explores the extraordinary 1824–1825 return tour of Gilbert du Motier, marquis de Lafayette. Nearly fifty years after the shots at Lexington and Concord, Lafayette's journey across all twenty-four states became a rolling national reunion, a living bridge between the Revolutionary generation and a rising America eager to define itself. Lafayette's visit was more than ceremonial pageantry. It was a reaffirmation of republican ideals, a masterclass in civic memory, and perhaps the most unifying event of the early nineteenth century. From parades and banquets to emotional reunions with aging veterans, the tour rekindled revolutionary spirit at a moment when the nation stood at a crossroads.This conversation reminds us that anniversaries are not simply about looking backward. They are about renewing vows. Lafayette's farewell tour shows how a grateful republic honors its past while quietly shaping its future.Tell us what you think! Send us a text message!

Don't be surprised if you find yourself needing head and neck cancer surgery and your surgeon has an unexpected assistant: a robot. But it won't be R2D2 or C3P0 from Star Wars. Instead, the modern medical robot is a high-tech tool that surgeons use to perform sensitive tasks in hard-to-reach places. In this episode, Dr. Vivian Wu, a head and neck surgeon at Pacific Neuroscience Institute, takes us into the new world of robotic surgeries. Dr. Wu also tells us about some new tests that can show how successful someone's cancer treatment has been, without the need for invasive biopsies. She talks about how to prevent and treat Human Papillomavirus, or HPV, which has started showing up in people's mouths in greater numbers. Dr. Wu also emphasizes the important role a care “village” plays in a patient's treatment and recovery.

More than 6,000 Black men—free and enslaved—served in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. Yet their stories remain some of the least told of the war. In this revisited episode, we rejoin Judith Van Buskirk, Professor Emerita of History at SUNY Cortland and author of Standing in Their Own Light: African American Patriots in the American Revolution, to explore what motivated African American men to fight for the Revolutionary cause, how the Continental Army's policies toward Black enlistment shifted over the course of the war, and what life and service looked like in units like the First Rhode Island Regiment.Judy's Book Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/403RECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODES

This week's episode covers the powerful Solar Eclipse at 28° Aquarius, Mercury entering its pre-retrograde shadow ahead of next week's retrograde in Pisces, and why this moment feels like a collective turning point. I explore themes of revolution, accountability, and feminine leadership, plus the major shift of Saturn conjunct Neptune at 0° Aries, a rare cycle reset we'll look back on as the beginning of a new era. The message: eclipse season asks us to rest, regulate our nervous systems, and pace ourselves, because the revolution requires endurance, not burnout.Join my email communitySign up for Cosmic Conversation00:00 Welcome + Why This Week Feels So Intense (Mercury Shadow & Eclipse Vibes)01:43 Personal Eclipse Patterns: 2017–2018 Flashbacks03:58 Solar Eclipse at 28° Aquarius: What It Means + Aquarius Big-Picture Energy06:20 Lunar New Year: Enter the Fire Horse (Transformation Without Burnout)08:13 Eclipse Season Rules + Mercury Retrograde Prep + Chiron Healing Check-In10:35 Eclipse Square Uranus on Algol: Shocks, Accountability & Liberation Themes13:49 “Rested for the Revolution”: Collective Thresholds & Women on the Front Lines16:59 Pisces Season Begins: Overlapping Endings, Reflection, and the Zodiac Reset18:12 Saturn Conjunct Neptune at 0° Aries (Feb 20): The 35-Year Cycle Reset21:19 What Saturn–Neptune Dissolves: Systems, Boundaries, and 1989 Parallels28:19 Venus Reborn as Evening Star: North Node + Pallas Athena in Pisces31:48 Air/Fire Era Ahead + Self-Care Practices to Stay Steady Through the Shift36:32 Closing Thoughts + Cosmic Conversation Invite + Next Week's Mercury Retrograde

James Shapiro explains how Rose McClendon and John Houseman established the Negro Unit, hiring a young Orson Welles to direct the revolutionary Macbeth production in Harlem.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 6th and final study session on Char Adams' Black-Owned: The Revolutionary Life of the Black Bookstore. Published at the end of 2025, Adams' new book made a number of lists for top books of the year. Touted as an "award-winning journalist, editor, and storyteller for NBC News, known for her work on race, identity, and inequitable systems," Adams is a lovely black female, Victim of Racism. Specifically, Adams investigates how black people have responded to the System of White Supremacy through the lens of bookstore ownership. C.O.W.S.'s listeners should know that White Supremacists have invested immense time and energy to ensure that black people do not read or have access to books. Last week, we learned about how the 2000's signaled massive challenges for black bookstores with more competition from online and large bookstore chains. Then, the financial downturn of 2008 devastated many White and non-white bookstore owners. Karibu Books and Eso Won Books both eventually closed. But, the Sankofa Video Books & Café was able to fight off their $30,000 tax debt, and remains in business today. Adams says that many black bookstore saw a boon during the Racial protests of 2010s - such the police shootings of Michael Brown Jr., Eric Garner, & Rekia Boyd as well as the 2012 murder of Trayvon Martin. This book concludes with a massive emphasis on Anti-Sex/LGBTQ activities. RuPaul and George M. Johnson's 'All Boys Aren't Blue,' - which is a so-called manifesto about being a "queer" black person, are celebrated. Adams documents some of the responses to the murders of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, which included a rash of buying books related to Racism and new book clubs. Interestingly, all of the new reading groups mentioned were formed by and for black females. Listeners and Gus question if this book, though filled with very important information, earns an 'F' letter grade for omitting Dr. Frances Cress Welsing and Neely Fuller Jr. and then glazing readers with Anti-Sex in the conclusion. #COINTELPRO #TheCOWS17Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

Butts have always been part of beauty culture — but the way we chase them says a lot about how trends shape our bodies. In this eye-opening episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban pulls back the curtain on the obsession with curves and breaks down everything you need to know about butt enhancement.From the explosive rise of Brazilian Butt Lifts (BBLs) to the social media illusion that fuels unrealistic expectations, Dr. Rahban explains why trend-driven surgery can have long-term consequences. He walks listeners through how BBLs actually work, why they require aggressive liposuction, and the hidden trade-offs many patients don't hear about — including aesthetic risks, unpredictability of results, and the serious safety concerns that have made BBLs one of the most dangerous procedures in plastic surgery.But this episode isn't just a warning — it's a roadmap. Dr. Rahban explores how shifting beauty standards, weight-loss medications, and emerging technologies are reshaping the future of body contouring. He introduces the next frontier in fat transfer, discusses who may (and may not) be a good candidate for butt enhancement, and shares a grounded perspective on how to pursue results that will still feel right years from now.If you've ever considered a BBL, felt pressured by social media ideals, or simply want a candid, expert take on the science and culture behind today's butt craze, this conversation delivers clarity, honesty, and a few surprises along the way.If you want, I can also create an alternate version that's punchier and more provocative (for higher click-through) or one that leans more educational and clinical.✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored:✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us.✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education:Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life.

Paris, 1871. The city is under siege. The government has fallen. And in the heart of the chaos, one woman stands defiant with a rifle in hand. Welcome to Louise Michel: The Fearless Revolutionary of the Paris Commune, an episode of Join Us in France that brings history to life like never before. Listen to this episode ad-free Host Annie Sargent and historian Elyse Rivin dive deep into the dramatic story of the Paris Commune—a radical uprising that shook France to its core. For 72 days in 1871, Paris was ruled not by kings or emperors, but by workers, artists, and revolutionaries. At the center of it all? Louise Michel, a schoolteacher turned anarchist whose courage and conviction made her a legend. This isn't just a history lesson. It's a story of defiance, feminism, and revolution that still echoes today. Louise Michel didn't just witness history—she shaped it. Born in 1830, she grew up with privilege but chose a life of activism. She fought on the barricades, organized ambulance stations during the Bloody Week, and even faced down the French army. When the Commune fell, she was arrested, tried, and exiled to New Caledonia. But exile didn't stop her. She learned the local Kanak language, taught indigenous girls, and even joined a revolt against French colonial rule. Later, she returned to France, where she became a feminist icon, traveling across Europe to spread her radical ideas. Annie and Elyse explore the myths and realities of the Commune, from the so-called Pétroleuses (women accused of burning Paris) to the destruction of landmarks like the Tuileries Palace. They discuss Louise's unlikely survival after being shot in the head, her correspondence with Victor Hugo, and her role in creating the black flag of anarchism. This episode also uncovers the Commune's lasting impact on Paris—from the Mur des Fédérés in Père Lachaise Cemetery to the renamed Square Louise Michel near Sacré-Cœur. But the conversation doesn't stop in the 19th century. After the interview, Annie shares updates on the legacy of the Paris 2024 Olympics and how the Olympic Village in Saint-Denis is transforming into a vibrant new neighborhood. It's a reminder that history isn't just about the past—it's about how we live today. If you love stories of bold women, forgotten revolutions, and the hidden layers of Paris, this episode is for you. Whether you're a history buff, a Francophile, or just curious about the untold stories of France, Louise Michel: The Fearless Revolutionary of the Paris Commune will leave you inspired.
