Galaxies THIRD HOUR 11:00-11:15 5/8: Plato and the Tyrant: The Fall of Greece's Greatest Dynasty and the Making of a Philosophic by James Romm (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Plato-Tyrant-Greatest-Philosophic-Masterpiece/dp/1324093188/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0 Plato is one of history's most influential thinkers, the "sublime philosopher" whose writings remain foundational to Western culture. He is known for the brilliant dialogues in which he depicted his teacher, Socrates, discussing ethical truths with prominent citizens of Athens. Yet the image we have of Plato—an ethereal figure far removed from society and politics, who conjured abstract ideas in peaceful groves—is a fiction, created by Plato's admirers and built up over centuries. In fact, Plato was very much a man of the world. In Plato and the Tyrant, acclaimed historian and classicist James Romm draws on personal letters of Plato—documents that have long been kept in obscurity—to show how a philosopher helped topple the leading Greek power of the era: the opulent city of Syracuse. There, Plato encountered two authoritarian rulers, a father and son both named Dionysius, and tried to steer them toward philosophy. At the same time, he worked on his masterpiece, Republic, in which he conceived a ruler who unites perfect wisdom with absolute power. That dream has echoed down through the ages and given rise to a famous term, one that Plato himself didn't actually use: philosopher-king. As Romm reveals, Plato's time in Syracuse helped shape Republic—and also had disastrous results for Plato himself and for all of Greek Sicily. The younger Dionysius, emotionally unstable but intellectually curious, welcomed Plato with open arms, but soon the relationship soured. Plato's close friendship with Dionysius's uncle, Dion—possibly a bond of romantic love—created a rift in the ruling family that led to a chaotic civil war. Combining thrilling political drama with explorations of Plato's most cherished ideas, Romm takes us into the heart of Greece's late classical age, a time when many believed that democracy had failed. Plato's search for solutions led him to write his fervent plea for a new political order, and also led him to a place where he believed his theories might be put into practice. But Plato and the Tyrant demonstrates how Plato's experiment with enlightened autocracy spiraled into catastrophe, and also gives us nothing less than a new account of the origins of Western political thought. 11:15-11:30 6/8: Plato and the Tyrant: The Fall of Greece's Greatest Dynasty and the Making of a Philosophic by James Romm (Author) 11:30-11:45 7/8: Plato and the Tyrant: The Fall of Greece's Greatest Dynasty and the Making of a Philosophic by James Romm (Author) 11:45-12:00 8/8: Plato and the Tyrant: The Fall of Greece's Greatest Dynasty and the Making of a Philosophic by James Romm (Author) FOURTH HOUR 12:00-12:15 Canada: Measuring the Trump White House first five months.

Mihai Morar te poartă într-o incursiune inedită prin lumea unei artiste inedite: Irina Baianț.Intrată încă de la 3 ani în lumea muzicii, în fața pianului, Irina nu a mai părăsit-o, devenind unul dintre micile genii muzicale pe care România le-a oferit de-a lungul timpului. Obișnuită cu premii de mică, prezentă pe celebra scenă Scala din Milano, Irina și-a ales totuși un parcurs dificil pe scenă. A decis să părăsească țara atunci când a considerat că trocul propus de industria muzicală contravine principiilor cu care a fost crescută. A găsit recunoaștere în străinătate, însă a ales să revină în țară, unde găsește o mult mai mare libertate de exprimare artistică.  Azi se declară împlinită. Nu ascunde însă faptul că se simte deseori nesigură de drumul ei în lumea de azi. Că presiunea așteptărilor o poate sufoca. Că sinceritatea poate duce deseori la singurătate. Și nu numai. Pentru că Irina acuză deschis o lume nevăzută a scenei românești, lume care funcționează prea puțin pe principii de meritocrație și prea mult pe cele ale intereselor comune. Afli despre ce este vorba într-un podcast fără perdea, care îți oferă și un preludiu superb al concertului organizat de Irina pe 29 iunie, în Amfiteatrul Mihai Eminescu din București. Nu rata premierele muzicale propuse astăzi la Fain & Simplu.Cu Mihai Morar.

This Day in Legal History: SEC EstablishedOn this day in legal history, June 6, 1934, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was established as part of the sweeping reforms of the New Deal. The SEC was created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in response to the stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression, which exposed widespread fraud, manipulation, and lack of oversight in the financial markets. Its primary mission was, and remains, to protect investors; maintain fair, orderly, and efficient markets; and facilitate capital formation.President Franklin D. Roosevelt appointed Joseph P. Kennedy, a former stockbroker and businessman, as the SEC's first chairman. The choice was controversial—Kennedy had profited handsomely from some of the same speculative practices the SEC was meant to prevent—but Roosevelt believed that Kennedy's insider knowledge would make him an effective regulator.The SEC was empowered to regulate the securities industry, enforce federal securities laws, and oversee the nation's stock and options exchanges. Among its early duties were requiring public companies to file detailed financial disclosures, registering securities before public offering, and monitoring insider trading. The commission also played a key role in restoring investor confidence in U.S. capital markets during a time of deep financial mistrust.Over time, the SEC expanded its reach, responding to new financial products, trading technologies, and crises. From investigating corporate accounting scandals like Enron and WorldCom, to managing the regulatory fallout of the 2008 financial crisis, the SEC has remained a pivotal force in shaping American financial law. It continues to evolve, now addressing issues such as crypto asset regulation, ESG disclosures, and algorithmic trading.Speaking of the SEC, U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton dismissed a lawsuit challenging the SEC 2020 rule changes that made it more difficult for shareholders to submit proposals at corporate annual meetings. The rules, enacted late in President Trump's term, raised the ownership thresholds and lengthened holding periods required to file shareholder proposals. They also introduced stricter resubmission requirements for proposals previously rejected by shareholders.The plaintiffs, including the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility, As You Sow, and shareholder advocate James McRitchie, argued the changes disproportionately harmed proposals on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues and reduced long-term shareholder value. They claimed the SEC failed to assess the benefits of such proposals before implementing the rules.Judge Walton rejected these claims, ruling that the SEC adequately justified the changes under its mandate to promote efficiency, competition, and capital formation. The SEC, which had defended the rules during both the Trump and Biden administrations, argued that the reforms ensured shareholder proposals had broader relevance and potential for meaningful corporate action. The 2020 vote on the rule changes split along party lines, with Republican commissioners in support. While the SEC declined to comment on the ruling, the plaintiffs expressed disappointment and affirmed their commitment to corporate engagement on environmental and social issues.SEC wins dismissal of lawsuit challenging tighter rules on shareholder proposals | ReutersOpenAI filed an appeal challenging a court order that requires it to indefinitely preserve ChatGPT output data in an ongoing copyright lawsuit brought by The New York Times. OpenAI argues the order conflicts with its user privacy commitments and sets a troubling precedent. The preservation directive was issued last month after The Times requested that all relevant log data be maintained and segregated.OpenAI CEO Sam Altman publicly criticized the order on social media, affirming the company's stance against actions it sees as compromising user privacy. The appeal, filed on June 3, asks U.S. District Judge Sidney Stein to vacate the preservation requirement.The lawsuit, filed in 2023, accuses OpenAI and Microsoft of using millions of Times articles without permission to train ChatGPT. In April, Judge Stein ruled that The Times had plausibly alleged that OpenAI and Microsoft may have encouraged users to reproduce copyrighted content. The ruling rejected parts of a motion to dismiss the case and allowed several of the Times' claims to move forward, citing multiple examples of ChatGPT generating material closely resembling Times articles.OpenAI appeals data preservation order in NYT copyright case | ReutersPresident Donald Trump's 2026 budget proposal includes a plan to eliminate the Legal Services Corporation (LSC), an independent agency that funds civil legal aid for low-income Americans. The proposal seeks $21 million for an "orderly closeout" of the organization, which had requested $2.1 billion to meet growing demand. The LSC supports 130 nonprofit legal aid programs that assist with issues such as evictions, disaster recovery, and access to public benefits.Critics warn that the move would devastate legal aid access for millions, particularly in rural areas and the South. In Louisiana, for example, there is just one legal aid lawyer for every 11,250 eligible residents. Legal aid leaders say they already turn away half of those seeking help due to budget constraints, and the proposed funding cut would further limit their reach.Organizations like Southeast Louisiana Legal Services and Legal Aid of North Carolina would lose 40–50% of their funding, jeopardizing services for communities still recovering from recent hurricanes. Legal Services NYC, the largest legal aid provider in the country, has implemented a hiring freeze in anticipation of possible cuts.The proposal revives a long-standing conservative goal. Past Republican efforts to dismantle the LSC date back to the Reagan era, and Trump made a similar attempt in 2018. The Heritage Foundation has accused the LSC of supporting controversial causes, but legal aid advocates argue the organization is vital to community stability and fairness in the justice system.Trump Plan to Ax Legal Aid a Conservative Aim That Targets PoorIn a piece I wrote for Forbes last week, I discuss how the IRS has quietly released the underlying codebase for its Direct File program on GitHub, marking a rare moment of transparency in government software. At the center of this release is something called the “Fact Graph,” a logic engine that models tax rules as interrelated facts rather than a linear checklist. Built using XML and Scala, the Fact Graph interprets ambiguous tax data, identifies contradictions or omissions, and suggests paths forward, all in a transparent, declarative format.What sets this apart is that, unlike proprietary tax software, Direct File's logic isn't hidden—it's open, reviewable, and potentially improvable by anyone. This move not only demystifies some of the inner workings of tax enforcement but also sets a precedent: if algorithms are mediating our legal obligations, we should be able to see and understand the rules they follow.The release is particularly striking in an era of eroding public trust in institutions and increasing reliance on automated decision-making. While Direct File itself remains limited in scope and its future uncertain, the open-sourcing of its logic engine may have laid the groundwork for broader change. Other agencies—from state tax departments to those experimenting with AI-driven policy enforcement—could adopt similar transparency, allowing the public to engage with and even help refine the systems that govern them.Peeking Behind The Code—IRS Just Open-Sourced Direct FileThis week's closing theme is by Robert Schumann and comes courtesy of Christopher Zbinden. This week's closing theme is Robert Schumann's Toccata in C major, Op. 7, a dazzling showcase of Romantic-era pianism and one of the most technically demanding works in the standard repertoire. Composed in 1830 and revised in 1833, the piece earned a reputation early on as a pianist's Everest—Franz Liszt himself dubbed it “the hardest piece ever written.” Clocking in at just over five minutes when played at tempo, it's a relentless whirlwind of perpetual motion, requiring both physical stamina and interpretive precision.The toccata form, traditionally a virtuosic keyboard piece emphasizing dexterity, becomes in Schumann's hands something more cerebral. Beneath its bravura surface lies a structure built on two contrasting themes, developed with intricate counterpoint and rhythmic displacement. The left hand must execute rapid repeated notes and wide leaps with precision, while the right weaves through syncopated figures and chromatic runs, creating a dense musical texture.Schumann dedicated the piece to his friend Ludwig Schuncke, who had recently died at the age of 23. That personal connection adds an emotional layer to a work that might otherwise be heard as pure technical spectacle. Unlike many showpieces of the era, Schumann's Toccata isn't just difficult for difficulty's sake—it's an expression of obsession, energy, and youthful ambition.For a composer better known for lyrical piano miniatures, the Toccata is an early signal of the depth and range Schumann would explore in later works. As this week closes, it offers a fitting sendoff: intricate, driven, and a little manic—in the best Romantic sense of the word.Without further ado, Robert Schumann's Toccata in C major, Op. 7 – enjoy!

Il Festival in programma da mercoledì 11 a venerdì 13 giugno con eventi presso la Rocca di Ravaldino, dalle ore 17:30 alle ore 23:30.«Pratica e sagace, Caterina Sforza trattò di soldi, di beni e di alleanze politiche, fabbricò armi, addestrò soldati e fece la guerra. Eppure si preoccupò anche di assistere personalmente i malati e aiutare i bisognosi. In quei tempi sanguinari di cui lei fu degnissima figlia, danzò sempre tra il profano e il sacro, non smettendo mai di dedicarsi al suo famoso ricettario, supremo rifugio in un mondo ideale, di quiete e di armonia, alla perenne ricerca della pietra filosofale o grande elisir: il farmaco in grado di curare tutte le malattie e di proteggere da tutti i mali. Oggi, in una società che apparentemente ha espulso il sacro e lo ha sostituito in toto con il profano, cercheremo insieme di capire dove risieda l'uno e dove l'altro, e la loro necessità» dichiara la direttrice artistica del Festival, Eleonora Mazzoni. La V edizione del Festival esplorerà il tema Profano e Sacro, che sarà declinato e interpretato attraverso le voci degli ospiti. In un tempo in piena rivoluzione, in costante trasformazione e sempre più enigmatico, con punti di riferimento che svaniscono o che hanno confini sempre più sfumati, il programma vuole stimolare un pensiero sulle forme che hanno assunto questi due motori della nostra esistenza e quale sia il loro ruolo nella società contemporanea. Il focus centrale della riflessione e della programmazione partirà sempre dalla figura storica di Caterina Sforza: il sacro e il profano sono strettamente legati alla sua biografia, alla sua evoluzione personale e alla sua capacità di affrontare la vita con coraggio e profondità. Il Festival si aprirà mercoledì 11 giugno con il talk show Geni(o) e sregolatezza - nuove scoperte su Giovanni dalle Bande nere con Gino Fornaciari, Salvatore Giannella, Eleonora Mazzoni, Sonia Muzzarelli, Gianandrea Pasquinelli, Tiziana Rambelli e Mirko Traversari, a seguire l'Opening concerto con ForlìMusica Orchestra e con Danilo Rossi, direttore artistico di ForlìMusica e già Viola Solista dell'Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala di Milano. Sarà lo psicanalista Massimo Recalcati a chiudere il primo giorno del Festival, proponendo al pubblico la sua lectio magistralis sul sacro, declinata appositamente sul tema dell'edizione.Giovedì 12 giugno torna il ciclo Ritratto d'autrice, in collaborazione con Mega Mondadori di Forlì: il primo appuntamento è con Rosella Postorino, autrice de Le assaggiatrici (Feltrinelli) in dialogo con Eleonora Mazzoni, e a seguire, si terrà lo spettacolo tratto dal suo romanzo, L'assaggiatrice di Hitler della Compagnia Teatro Popolare d'Arte, per la regia di Sandro Mabellini e con Silvia Gallerano, Alessia Giangiuliani.Venerdì 13 giugno Forlì ospiterà il secondo incontro di Ritratto d'autrice con Gianna Coletti e un suo monologo Almenopausa, dove abbatte pregiudizi e stereotipi per sdrammatizzare la paura di invecchiare. A seguire, l'Orchestra giovanile InArte, terrà un concerto con musiche e composizioni inedite create per l'occasione da giovani compositori ed eseguite in prima assoluta. Infine, il sipario della V edizione del Festival Caterina Sforza di Forlì calerà con Alessandro D'Avenia, che terrà una lectio pensata ad hoc per il Festival sul profondo legame tra letteratura e spiritualità.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

C dans l'air du 17 mai 2025 : Le « violeur de la Sambre » : trente ans de crimeTreize faits supplémentaires de violences sexuelles, dont un viol. C'est ce pour quoi Dino Scala, le « violeur de la Sambre », a été mis en examen cette semaine. L'homme de 64 ans a déjà été condamné à vingt ans de prison pour une série de cinquante-quatre viols, tentatives de viols et d'agressions sexuelles. Des faits commis entre 1988 et 2018 près de son domicile, autour de la rivière Sambre, dans le nord de la France, mais aussi en Belgique.Considéré comme l'un des pires violeurs en série, avec toujours le même mode opératoire, Scala a toutefois échappé à la justice pendant trente ans. La question du dysfonctionnement des institutions policières et judiciaires se pose donc face aux violences sexuelles.Cette affaire fait écho avec celle des viols de Mazan. Si Dominique Pélicot a été jugé pour avoir violé et fait violer son ex-femme pendant dix ans, il pourrait être impliqué dans deux autres affaires : une tentative de viol en 1999 (pour laquelle il a reconnu une partie des faits) et un meurtre avec viol en 1991 à Paris. Le mode opératoire est similaire dans les deux cas : une visite d'appartement sous un faux nom, et un mouchoir imbibé d'éther pour endormir les agentes immobilières. Mais la perte de scellés et l'absence d'interrogatoire interrogent une fois encore sur des défaillances de la Justice.Ces deux affaires, comme tant d'autres, fascinent en France et au-delà. Un engouement qui est loin d'être récent, et qui est même l'objet d'une exposition aux Galeries Montparnasse (Paris 15è). Les émissions à leur sujet font aussi des records d'audience, tout comme les fictions qui leur sont consacrées. L'affaire Dino Scala a elle-même été porté à l'écran, dans la série Sambre, diffusée sur France 2.Alors, que sait-on des nouveaux cas de violences sexuelles pour lesquels Dino Scala est mis en examen ? Dominique Pélicot est-il aussi un meurtrier ? Pourquoi sommes-nous fascinés par les faits divers ?LES EXPERTS :Laurent VALDIGUIÉ - Grand reporter à Marianne, auteur de « Fétiche45 : les autres vies de Dominique Pelicot » (Editions du Seuil)Michelle FINES - Journaliste d'investigation, auteure de « Dans le cerveau du tueur - l'affaire Michel Fourniret et Monique Olivier » (Fayard)Johanna ROZENBLUM – Psychologue-clinicienne, auteure de « Déconditionnez-vous » (Editions Le Courrier du Livre)Denis SALAS – Magistrat, auteur du « Déni du viol.

Anthony Scala, owner of City Chevy Grayslake, sits down with Dave today. They dive into Anthony's rich family history in the car business and his journey from a porter to a dealership owner. Anthony shares his commitment to community involvement, emphasizing the importance of building genuine relationships and creating a welcoming atmosphere at City Chevy. They discuss the challenges of rebuilding trust within the community and the dealership's focus on customer service. The episode wraps up with playful insights into Anthony's personal life and his passion for fostering a positive work environment. Discovering Grayslake: A Deep Dive into Anthony Scala's Journey and Insights on the Car Business In this episode of "Discovering Grayslake," host Tony sits down with Anthony Scala, the owner of City Chevy, at Agora, a co-working space in Grayslake. The conversation is rich with insights into Anthony's background in the automotive industry, his family's legacy, and his journey to becoming a dealership owner. This blog post will break down the key themes discussed in the episode, offering actionable advice and detailed explanations to guide listeners and readers alike. Family Legacy and Early Experiences The Scala Family Legacy Anthony Scala's journey in the car business is deeply rooted in his family's history. His grandfather owned a dealership in the late 70s and early 80s, and his father continued the legacy by running the Lynch Auto Group in Chicago. Growing up in this environment, Anthony was naturally drawn to the car industry, although he admits that no child dreams of becoming a car dealer. Lessons from a Strict Upbringing Anthony shares a personal story about his upbringing, highlighting the strict parenting style of his father. As the oldest of five siblings, he felt the pressure of being the firstborn. He recalls how his father monitored his every move, which he initially resented but later came to appreciate. Anthony reflects on how his father's high expectations and support shaped him, even when he made poor choices as a teenager. This strict yet supportive environment instilled in him the values of hard work and determination. The Importance of Community Involvement Building Relationships with Customers Anthony emphasizes that building relationships with customers is crucial. He believes that understanding the local demographic is essential for tailoring services and marketing strategies. Each of the five dealerships he operates caters to different communities, and he recognizes that what works in one area may not be effective in another. This adaptability is key to his success. Community Engagement Tony expresses gratitude for City Chevy's community involvement, highlighting the dealership's sponsorship of local events. Anthony shares that they have an even more robust schedule of community activities planned for the upcoming spring and summer, emphasizing the importance of being an active participant in the community. This commitment to community engagement helps build trust and fosters long-term relationships with customers. Customer Service Philosophy Creating a Positive Experience Anthony explains that while data and demographics inform marketing strategies, the real focus should be on personal interactions. He believes that if a customer doesn't feel a connection with the staff, they are unlikely to make a purchase or return for service. This philosophy drives the hiring and training processes at City Chevy, where he aims to foster a culture of respect and teamwork. The Role of Authenticity Scala emphasizes the importance of creating a welcoming atmosphere at his dealership. He believes that the first impression is crucial, and he encourages his employees to assess the "vibe" of the store each day. According to him, the dealership has a significantly more positive energy, characterized by friendly and genuine staff. He acknowledges that while some aspects of customer service can be faked, the authenticity and kindness of the team are what truly matter. Challenges and Rebuilding Trust Overcoming Past Management Issues Anthony acknowledges that there were trust issues within the community due to past management practices. To address this, he has worked diligently to rebuild relationships and establish a reputation for integrity and transparency. Anthony shares anecdotes about how he has engaged with the community, from sponsoring local events to participating in charity initiatives, all aimed at demonstrating his commitment to Grayslake. Turning Around Underperforming Stores Scala shares his track record of revitalizing underperforming dealerships. He has successfully turned around every store he has purchased, and he is currently in the process of doing the same with City Chevy. He mentions that General Motors views his dealership as a model for year-over-year growth, even if the progress is gradual. Scala recognizes that his dealership may not be the right fit for everyone, as they cater to logical and rational buyers. Personal Insights and Competitive Nature Lessons from Sports Anthony reveals his competitive nature, which he attributes to his background in sports, particularly basketball. He recounts a pivotal moment during his college years when he realized he needed to improve physically to compete with more experienced players. This experience taught him the value of hard work and determination, lessons he applies to his business today. He believes that the same principles of teamwork and respect he learned on the court are essential in the workplace. Building a Positive Work Environment Tony and Anthony delve into the importance of creating a positive work environment at the dealership. Anthony stresses that every employee, regardless of their position, deserves respect. He shares a personal anecdote about how witnessing disrespect among employees triggers a strong reaction from him. He believes that fostering a culture of mutual respect not only benefits employees but also enhances the customer experience. The Role of Data in Business Balancing Data and Personal Interactions The conversation also highlights Anthony's analytical approach to business. He enjoys tracking metrics and using data to inform decisions, but he emphasizes that numbers alone do not drive success. Understanding people and building relationships are equally important. He explains that while data can guide marketing efforts, the real magic happens when employees connect with customers on a personal level. Future Aspirations and Community Engagement Expanding Community Efforts As the episode draws to a close, Anthony shares his aspirations for the future of City Chevy and his ongoing commitment to the Grayslake community. He envisions expanding community engagement efforts and continuing to build a dealership that reflects the values of respect, integrity, and teamwork. He believes that by investing in relationships, both with customers and employees, he can create a thriving business that positively impacts the community. Conclusion In this engaging conversation, Tony and Anthony explore the intersection of business, community, and personal growth. Anthony Scala's journey from a strict upbringing to a successful dealership owner illustrates the importance of resilience, hard work, and the power of relationships. The episode serves as a reminder that success in business is not just about numbers; it's about the people behind the numbers and the connections forged along the way. Key Takeaways: Community Involvement**: Building relationships with local customers is essential for long-term success. Customer Service**: Authenticity and personal interactions are crucial for creating a positive customer experience. Work Environment**: Fostering a culture of respect and teamwork benefits both employees and customers. Data and Personal Touch**: Balancing data-driven decisions with personal interactions leads to better business outcomes. By focusing on these principles, Anthony Scala has successfully turned around underperforming dealerships and built a thriving business that positively impacts the Grayslake community. His story is a testament to the power of hard work, determination, and the importance of building genuine relationships in business.

"Ignorance of Scripture is ignorance of Christ." Today, Dcn. Harrison Garlick is joined by Mr. Thomas Lackey and Mr. Adam Minihan to discuss how to read the Bible like Jesus, St. Paul, the Early Church Fathers, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Dante!There are four senses: literal, allegorical, moral, and anagogical. The guys explain Divine Authorship, Dante's thesis that you read his Comedy like you Scripture, and then explain each sense and give examples.Check our thegreatbookspodcast.com for resources on the Iliad, Odyssey, Dante's Inferno, and more!Summary: St. Jerome states, “Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ” (CCC 112). In other words, we come to know the reality of Jesus Christ by reading Holy Scripture. Yet, what if we read the Bible incorrectly? If the Scriptures are a source of knowledge about our Lord, would not a wrong reading of the text twist our understanding of Christ? We, especially as moderns, are always in danger of distorting the Gospel to meet our own ideological standards. As Bishop Konderla teaches, “We are called to measure ourselves against the teaching of Christ and His Church, not our own imaginations or standards.” He continues, “We must receive the Jesus Christ who came two-thousand years ago, not create a ‘Jesus' who meets the fashions and fads of this age” (God Builds a House, 6). If we are to discipline ourselves to receive Jesus—and not manufacture a “Jesus”—then a vital part of that reception is a proper understanding of how to know Christ in Holy Scripture. How then does the Church teach us to read Holy Scripture?In the 1300s, the Italian poet Dante Alighieri wrote a letter to his patron, Lord Cangrande della Scala, regarding how one should read the Divine Comedy. His answer was simple: you read the Comedy the same way you read the Bible. In summary of Sacred Tradition, Dante explains that there are four senses or ways to read Holy Scripture: literal and three spiritual ways, i.e., allegorical, moral, and anagogical. These four senses were also taught by St. Thomas Aquinas (STI.1.10) and are contained in the modern Catechism of the Catholic Church (“CCC” 115-19). They represent the time-tested wisdom of the Church on how to come to know and love Jesus Christ through the Holy Scriptures.Let us examine each “sense” of biblical interpretation, how it relates to the others, and how they all draw us into a deeper relationship with our Lord.The literal sense of Scripture is also known as the “historical sense.” St. Thomas notes the literal sense is the meaning the author intended. For example, Dante gives the simple illustration of the passage: “When Israel went out of Egypt.” He observes, “If we look at it from the letter alone it means to us the exit of the Children of Israel from Egypt at the time of Moses.” The literal is simply the intended, historical meaning of a text. It is important, however, to interpret the literal correctly, because “all other senses of Sacred Scripture are based on the literal” (CCC 116). Similarly, Aquinas states that the spiritual sense of Scripture—allegorical, moral, and anagogical—is “based on the literal and presupposes it.” The importance of the literal sense of Scripture as foundational to all other senses emphasizes how vital it is that Catholics read commentaries that are faithful to the magisterium.

Cyndi Lauper is a multi-award winning singer and songwriter. She has sold more than fifty million records, won an Emmy for acting and her musical Kinky Boots earned her a Tony and an Oliver award. Born in 1953, Cyndi grew up in a blue collar neighbourhood in New York. Her mother loved music and art and took her children to free exhibitions in New York which inspired Cyndi. As a very young girl, Cyndi listened to her mother's extensive record collection and mimicked the voices she heard from musicals and operas.After a difficult family home life due to her mother's turbulent marriages, Cyndi found solace in music and began writing songs when she was ten. She left home at seventeen determined to make it in the music industry. She started out as a singer in bands, whilst supporting herself doing a series of jobs. Early in her career, she lost her voice for almost a year after trying to make herself heard over amps which were too loud. Success eventually came when she released her debut solo album She's So Unusual in 1983 – the first album by a female artist to spawn four consecutive US Top 5 singles.Cyndi lives in New York with her husband, David who is an actor. They met on a set of a film and rock legend Little Richard officiated their wedding.DISC ONE: Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun.

Conrad Black, National Post THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 1/8: Taking Manhattan: The Extraordinary Events That Created New York and Shaped America Hardcover – March 4, 2025 by Russell Shorto (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Taking-Manhattan-Extraordinary-Created-America/dp/0393881164/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0 The author of The Island at the Center of the World offers up a thrilling narrative of how New York―that brash, bold, archetypal city―came to be. In 1664, England decided to invade the Dutch-controlled city of New Amsterdam on Manhattan Island. Charles II and his brother, the Duke of York, had dreams of empire, and their archrivals, the Dutch, were in the way. But Richard Nicolls, the military officer who led the English flotilla bent on destruction, changed his strategy once he encountered Peter Stuyvesant, New Netherland's canny director general. Bristling with vibrant characters, Taking Manhattan reveals the founding of New York to be an invention, the result of creative negotiations that would blend the multiethnic, capitalistic society of New Amsterdam with the power of the rising English empire. But the birth of what might be termed the first modern city is also a story of the brutal dispossession of Native Americans and of the roots of American slavery. The book draws from newly translated materials and illuminates neglected histories―of religious refugees, Indigenous tribes, and free and enslaved Africans. Taking Manhattan tells the riveting story of the birth of New York City as a center of capitalism and pluralism, a foundation from which America would rise. It also shows how the paradox of New York's origins―boundless opportunity coupled with subjugation and displacement―reflects America's promise and failure to this day. Russell Shorto, whose work has been described as "astonishing" (New York Times) and "literary alchemy" (Chicago Tribune), has once again mined archival sources to offer a vibrant tale and a fresh and trenchant argument about American beginnings. 115-1130 2/8: Taking Manhattan: The Extraordinary Events That Created New York and Shaped America Hardcover – March 4, 2025 by Russell Shorto (Author) 1130-1145 3/8: Taking Manhattan: The Extraordinary Events That Created New York and Shaped America Hardcover – March 4, 2025 by Russell Shorto (Author) 1145-1200 4/8: Taking Manhattan: The Extraordinary Events That Created New York and Shaped America Hardcover – March 4, 2025 by Russell Shorto (Author) FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 #NewWorldReport: Tariffs and Mexico and Brazil.
