SHOW 11-28-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR 1963   The Genius of Early Photography: Nadar, Daguerre, and Dangerous Chemistry — Anika Burgess — Burgess details the risky and adventurous origins of photography as a practical medium. She examines Nadar, a visionary figure who deployed a giant balloon named Léon to fund experiments in heavier-than-air flight, having previously conducted innovative photographic expeditions into Paris's catacombs. Burgess also recounts Daguerre's 1839 presentation of the daguerreotype—a remarkably realistic, singular image created using hazardous chemicals including iodine and mercury, which posed significant occupational and health risks to early practitioners. Early Photography's Scientific Reach: Lunar and Underwater Photography — Anika Burgess — Burgessexplores early photography's critical scientific applications, noting that François Arago predicted the daguerreotype would enable detailed mapping of the lunar surface. Early astrophotographers encountered formidable technical challenges involving distance calculations, celestial motion, and insufficient ambient light. James Nasmyth controversially photographed plaster casts and molds of the lunar surface, which contemporary observers praised as scientifically truthful. Burgess also highlights Louis Boutan, who persistently developed practical underwater photography using pressurized hard-hat diving equipment, establishing a new scientific capability. Photography and Social Justice: Riis, Watkins, and the Question of Truth — Anika Burgess — Burgessdemonstrates how photography became a transformative tool for social advocacy and reform. Jacob Riis, a newspaper journalist documenting Manhattan's tenement poverty, employed flash powder ignited in cast-iron frying pans to photograph the grim, overcrowded interior conditions of slums for his landmark book How the Other Half Lives, frequently without obtaining subject consent. Burgess also discusses Carleton Watkins, who transported over 2,000 pounds of large-format photographic equipment to Yosemite Valley, producing images that proved instrumental in securing federal preservation and protection of the landscape. From X-Rays to Motion Pictures: Expanding the Photographic Medium — Anika Burgess — Burgess traces the expansion of photographic technology beyond conventional image capture. She examines Alice Austin'sintimate and playful photographs documenting her social circle with candid authenticity. The discovery of X-raysby Wilhelm Röntgen was rapidly branded as "the new photography" or "shadow photography," adopted swiftly for both entertainment and medical diagnostic applications despite practitioners possessing no understanding of severe radiation hazards. Burgess concludes with Paul Martin's candid street photography using concealed cameras hidden within top hats and Eadweard Muybridge's sequential motion studies, which directly enabled the invention of motion pictures. Angelica Schuyler: Albany, Elopement, and the Start of the Revolution — Molly Beer — Beer discusses her book Angelica, focusing on Angelica Schuyler Church, daughter of General Philip Schuyler. Her mother, Katherine, oversaw construction of their Albany residence, The Pastures, a substantial estate reflecting family prominence. Angelica received a rigorous education consistent with Dutch cultural traditions emphasizing women's financial and business literacy for family management. In 1777, during Burgoyne's invasion of New York, Angelica profoundly disappointed her mother by eloping with John Carter, an Englishman she found intellectually engaging and cosmopolitan. Angelica and the Founders: The Revolution and the Hamilton Connection — Molly Beer — Beer examines Angelica's pivotal role during the American Revolution, including her service alongside Rochambeau's army, traveling to Yorktown shortly after delivering her third child. Her sister Elizabeth ("Betsy") married Alexander Hamilton, who deliberately married into the prominent Schuyler family to elevate his social standing and political prospects. Following the war, Angelica's eldest son, Philip, founded the town of Angelica in western New York, the community where Beer herself was subsequently raised. Angelica in Europe: John Church, London Society, and Diplomacy — Molly Beer — Following ratification of the peace treaty, Angelica and her husband sailed to Paris to collect outstanding payments owed by the Frenchgovernment. John Carter leveraged the wartime amnesty to settle accumulated debts, reconcile with his estranged family, and legally adopt the name John Barker Church. Angelica relocated to London's elegant Mayfairneighborhood, where she established herself as a prominent American patriot. She strategically positioned herself at the intersection of cultural and diplomatic negotiations, entertaining influential figures including Lafayette and the Adamses, while exerting subtle influence over American diplomatic representatives toward negotiated peace. Angelica's Later Life: Return, Tragedy, and Founding Angelica, NY — Molly Beer — Angelica visited the United States for President Washington's 1789 inauguration but quickly returned to London, disappointed that the nascent republic fell short o Woke Capitalism: Origins, ESG, DEI, and the Power of BlackRock — Charles Gasparino — Gasparinotraces the origins of "woke capitalism," detailing how corporate America shareholder returns toward stakeholder capitalism models. L The Flashpoints of Woke Capitalism: Occupy Wall Street and the SEC — Charles Gasparino — Gasparinoidentifies the 2008 financial crisis and the ensuing progressive populist backlash, including the Occupy Wall Streetencampment at Zuccotti Park, as pivotal flashpoints accelerating corporate woke adoption.... Disney and ESPN: Running a Blue Company in a Red State — Charles Gasparino — Gasparino analyzes the radicalization of the Walt Disney Company, noting that CEO Bob Iger brought progressive cultural affinities while the company.... Go Woke, Go Broke: The Financial Backlash and Corporate Retreat — Charles Gasparino — Gasparinoreports that woke capitalism is experiencing significant financial retrenchment as corporations suffer bottom-line consequences... Freedom's Forge: FDR, WWII Mobilization, and Bill Knudsen — Arthur Herman — Herman discusses his book Freedom's Forge, detailing the extraordinary challenge FDR confronted in May 1940 to prepare America for modern industrial warfare. The preeminent industrialist summoned for this task was Bill Knudsen, CEO of General Motors. Knudsen, a Danish immigrant and former Ford executive, possessed unparalleled expertise in flexible mass production—the capacity to modify production line processes continuously while maintaining output. Knudsen applied these revolutionary manufacturing techniques to transform the American automobile industry into an "Arsenal of Democracy," producing critical war materiel including military trucks and armored tanks. Henry Kaiser: The Builder of Liberty Ships — Arthur Herman — Herman profiles Henry Kaiser, the second transformative figure in Freedom's Forge. Kaiser, a road construction entrepreneur who had previously coordinated monumental infrastructure projects including the Boulder Dam, demonstrated relentless commitment to ambitious thinking and delivery ahead of schedule and under budget constraints. In late 1940, Kaiser persuaded both Britishand American governments to contract him to construct "throwaway freighters"—Liberty ships—despite possessing no prior shipbuilding experience. Between 1941 and 1945, Kaiser successfully built 2,710 Liberty ships, fundamentally enabling Allied logistics and supply operations. The B-29 Superfortress and the Battle of Omaha — Arthur Herman — Herman recounts the genesis of the B-29 Superfortress bomber, conceived after General Hap Arnold consulted with Charles Lindbergh in 1939. The B-29 represented the ultimate expression of air supremacy doctrine, demanding revolutionary technologies including pressurized crew cabins and remote-controlled gun turrets that did not yet exist. Bill Knudsen directed the program, overcoming severe delays and persistent technical deficiencies. Knudsen won the "Battle of Omaha" by insisting that aircraft be extensively modified after assembly to achieve operational flight status, thereby integrating a massive female industrial workforce into B-29 production processes. Lessons from WWII: Unleashing Private Enterprise — Arthur Herman — Herman explores the strategic tension during WWII between New Deal administrators favoring centralized government command and industrialists prioritizing private sector innovation and operational flexibility. FDR and Knudsen learned from the disastrous centralized economic control failures of WWI, choosing instead to permit American private enterprise to "determine production methodologies and develop solutions for urgent national requirements." The fundamental secret to Allied victory was unleashing private sector dynamism, entrepreneurial expertise, and competitive energy. Herman draws contemporary parallels, arguing that modern defense strategy must replicate this model, contrasting bureaucratic NASA operations with innovative private enterprises including SpaceX.

The forecast calls for snow in much of the northern U.S. AP correspondent Jennifer King has more.

Since the fall of the Syrian regime in December 2024, the NGO Handicap International has recorded 725 accidents and nearly 1,400 victims of landmines and explosive ordnance throughout the country, compared to 933 victims in 2023. The increase in these figures in recent months is partly due to the return of residents to war-torn areas previously occupied by Assad's forces.

Ray White speaks to Sarah Nicholson, Head of Customer Experience at Just Money, as Black Friday in South Africa shifts from a bargain-hunting frenzy to a high-risk financial minefield. What was once a fun retail tradition has increasingly become a season of regret, with shoppers falling prey to impulse buying, misleading “specials” and an alarming rise in AI-powered scams that mimic real retailers with frightening accuracy. Nicholson breaks down why the popular “no refund/no exchange” signs many stores still display are actually illegal, and how consumers can spot the new generation of scams, from polished fake websites to cloned social media pages. She also warns of the January financial hangover, when the consequences of November’s trolley-filling spree finally arrive in the form of mounting debt. Beyond consumers, we look at how small businesses navigate Black Friday without slashing prices so deeply that they jeopardise their own survival. Today, we unpack the risks, the rights and the practical steps South Africans can take to protect both their money and their peace of mind this shopping season. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

Think you've just stumbled on the perfect real estate deal? Not so fast! The truth is that some rental properties may look good on paper but are actually much more trouble than they're worth. Today, we're going to show you seven warning signs to look out for before closing on your next property! Welcome back to the Real Estate Rookie podcast! In this episode, Ashley and Tony are breaking down seven of the most common (and costly) red flags that can quickly turn a rookie investor's “dream deal” into a financial nightmare. Whether you're doing a BRRRR (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat), flipping houses, or even house hacking, you won't want to make these critical mistakes that could drain your time, energy, and money. You'll learn the keys to proper real estate analysis, like calculating “hidden” costs and lowering your risk by accounting for the worst-case scenario. We'll also show you how to avoid getting in over your head with a renovation project and why you should never bank on appreciation—especially at the expense of cash flow. If your property doesn't have any of these red flags, chances are you've got a great deal! In This Episode We Cover Seven red flags to watch out for when buying a rental property Why buying the “cheap” property could cost you way more in the long run Taking on renovation projects that align with your skill level How to stress-test a deal so you still profit in a worst-case scenario Why you should never sacrifice cash flow for potential appreciation And So Much More!

My guest today is Eva Yazhari – General Partner at Beyond Capital Ventures and one of the most original thinkers in the world of impact investing.Trained on Wall Street, Eva left finance to found Beyond Capital, turning her expertise toward building impact-driven markets. Beyond Capital Fund was structured as a nonprofit, a 501(c)3 – not to do charity, but to meet the moment. She describes it as “almost like a Trojan horse” – a structure that made her approach more acceptable to early supporters, even as she operated with full VC rigor.She knew in 2009 that most investors did not yet believe emerging markets could deliver both returns and impact. So she created a structure that was more palatable – donors could get a tax deduction, while she quietly ran the fund like a VC from day one. There were no grants. No concessionary capital. They always behaved like a VC.The result was a top‑quintile track record: a 0.3% loss ratio, markups, and over 100 million people reached through portfolio companies' products and services.But the nonprofit structure also kept the firm smaller than it needed to be. “I think it was the right thing to do, but I think it was a little bit of a mistake in the growth of the firm.”In 2019, someone approached her after a talk and simply asked, “How do we invest?” – and that was the moment she knew the market was finally ready.She and her team launched Beyond Capital Ventures, a for‑profit venture fund, carrying forward the same thesis with a structure that allowed investors to participate directly in the returns.Today, Beyond Capital Ventures invests in early-stage companies across East Africa and India. It's one of the few woman-led impact VC firms globally, with a team that's 70% based in the markets they invest in.Eva's approach is hands-on, thesis-driven, and unafraid to push boundaries. She refuses deal flow from Europe or the U.S. because she believes the best opportunities come from being on the ground. As she says, “I'd rather the principal who runs our Nairobi office meet a founder while filling up his water bottle, than us meet them through some other channel.”Beyond Capital has pioneered something radical in VC: the equitable venture structure. 10% of the GP's carry is allocated to portfolio founders. Not only does it create community – it's created collaboration. That motivates companies across her portfolio now to share customers, talent, and capital.She measures impact as rigorously as she measures financial performance. Her team uses a three-tier framework aligned with IRIS and SDG metrics. And she's clear-eyed about what success looks like. “Everybody is focused on sourcing better and investing better. Nobody is focused on adding value, and that is exactly where everything goes right or wrong.”Eva's career is proof that creativity, service, and capital don't have to be separate. And that you can build something that lasts if you're bold enough to hold them together.Listen in.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:- Beyond Capital Ventures website- Eva Yazhari LinkedIn- Eva Yazhari Instagram- Book ‘The Good Your Money Can Do'- The BCV Podcast

Beta-blockers offer no survival benefit for most heart attack patients with normal heart function, even though they're still widely prescribed Women face higher risks on beta-blockers, including nearly double the risk of death when given higher doses, while men show no measurable harm or benefit Side effects such as fatigue, dizziness, depression, and sexual dysfunction often burden patients without providing meaningful protection The real root of heart disease lies in damaged mitochondria, which are overwhelmed by linoleic acid (LA) from vegetable oils found in most processed foods You can protect your heart by reducing LA, eating the right kinds of carbohydrates, walking daily, getting safe sunlight, and tracking your HOMA-IR score

Have you ever caught yourself silently shrinking, using the word "just" before your title, your accomplishments, or even your ideas? Maybe you've said, "I'm just a team member," or "I'm just filling in"—and in that tiny word, you let a little light of your confidence flicker out. I've heard from leaders just like you, wrestling with the tension between wanting to stand tall in their careers and feeling pressured by culture to play small. The pull to minimize your wins, your presence, and your impact is exhausting. That's exactly what we're exploring in this episode of Being at Work with my longtime friend, MeChelle Callen. MeChelle is not only an author and leader, she's lived the journey of shifting from "just" to joy—embracing power, presence, and authenticity at work. We talk about why eliminating "just" from your vocabulary matters more than you realize, how subtle habits and societal pressures like "tall poppy syndrome" keep us from leading boldly. MeChelle brings real stories, practical tools, and rituals you can tailor for your life. This is an invitation to stop minimizing yourself and finally stand in your power, without apology. Episode Highlights (00:00) Why "just" Is Undermining Your Confidence Without You Knowing (03:03) MeChelle Callen: Who She Is and Why Standing in Our Power Matters (04:23) The Cost of Self-Minimizing Language (08:21) Practical Ways to Eliminate "Just" from Your Work Vocabulary (09:45) Tall Poppy Syndrome: How Culture Makes Us Shrink (12:31) Leadership, Resilience, and Being Seen—Even When It's Risky (18:15) Authenticity vs. Adaptability: How to Honor Yourself While Navigating Feedback (21:50) Rituals for Confidence: Music, Mantras, Power Poses & More (26:16) Micro-Moments of Power: Anchoring Yourself Before Big Moments (29:51) Why Your Unique Voice and Story Matters More Than Ever   About Andrea Butcher Andrea Butcher is a visionary business leader, executive coach, and keynote speaker—she empowers leaders to gain clarity through the chaos by being MORE of who they already are.

Have you ever stopped to think about the relationship you have with money, not just your budget or bank balance, but the emotions that shape your financial choices?Even though money looks logical on paper, the truth is most of our financial decisions come from our emotional state—shaped by the families we grew up in, what we witnessed, and what we learned about having “enough.”In this powerful episode, I sit down with Shannon Ryan, Certified Financial Planner, TEDx speaker, and author of Your Money Has Feelings. With over 30 years of experience guiding people through financial change, Shannon brings warmth and compassion to a topic that often feels shame-filled or overwhelming. Her approach blends personal finance and emotional well-being in a way that might shift how you relate to money for good.We explore:How early family patterns create emotional “scar tissue” around money—and how that shows up nowWhy women often carry unhealed money fears during midlife transitionsHow your nervous system responds to money stress—and what helps calm itWhy financial security after divorce can feel like an emotional minefieldThe sneaky money beliefs that keep you stuck in scarcityWhat real financial empowerment looks like (hint: it's not just numbers)If you're rebuilding after a breakup, reentering the workforce, or just trying to feel safer and more confident with money, this conversation will leave you feeling seen, grounded, and hopeful.You're not broken, you're just taking the next right step.Here's to trusting yourself, and trusting the next right step.LaurieClick here for a video on how to leave a review to receive a free somatic stabilization/grounding exercise.
