Infra Red-A Historical Prelude: Infrared Therapy, Brain Bioenergetics, and Dr. Carl Rothschild's WorkWelcome, listeners, to a special historical prelude that sets the stage for our upcoming discussion on the profound impact of infrared therapy, particularly its fascinating interaction with brain function through the lens of bioenergetics. This narrative is a journey from serendipitous discovery to sophisticated scientific inquiry, revealing how a seemingly simple form of light could hold profound implications for human health.Our story begins not with lasers, but with the very discovery of infrared radiation itself. In 1800, Sir William Herschel, a renowned astronomer, was experimenting with prisms and thermometers. He noticed that a thermometer placed beyond the red end of the visible spectrum still registered a temperature increase, indicating the presence of an invisible form of radiation. He dubbed these "calorific rays," which we now know as infrared. This foundational discovery laid the groundwork for understanding a spectrum of light beyond human perception, a spectrum that carries thermal energy.For decades, infrared remained primarily a tool for heating, with its therapeutic applications limited to general warmth and improved circulation. However, the true revolution in light therapy began with the invention of the laser. In 1960, Theodore Maiman successfully demonstrated the first operational laser. While initially a scientific curiosity, its unique properties – coherence, monochromaticity, and collimation – soon hinted at its potential in medicine.And this brings us to the exciting present, and our esteemed guest, Dr. Carl Rothschild. Dr. Rothschild's extensive background and pioneering work in the field of infrared therapy have significantly advanced our understanding and application of this remarkable technology.Dr. Carl Rothschild's specific background, key research, and contributions to infrared: MY BIODr. Carl Rothschild, a pioneering advocate of Red Light Therapy (RLT), has dedicated his life to igniting the spark of vitality in others.

This Day in Legal History: Lots of Things On March 13th, various significant events have unfolded in the realm of legal history, reflecting the ever-evolving landscape of law and justice across the globe. On this day in 1781, Sir William Herschel's discovery of Uranus led to international legal discussions on the naming rights of celestial bodies, a precursor to modern space law debates. In 1868, the impeachment trial of President Andrew Johnson began, marking the first time a U.S. president faced such proceedings, underscoring the constitutional checks and balances in American governance.Fast forward to 1961, the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Posadas de Puerto Rico Associates v. Tourism Company of Puerto Rico established significant precedents regarding states' rights and the commerce clause, affecting how businesses and state regulations interacted. On March 13, 1989, the Internet's precursor, ARPANET, was hit by one of the first major digital security incidents, leading to the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 being amended to address such modern challenges, illustrating the law's attempt to keep pace with technological advancements.Moreover, on this day in 1996, the Dunblane school massacre occurred in Scotland, leading to stringent gun control laws in the United Kingdom, a pivotal moment in the global debate on gun regulation. This tragic event underscores how legal systems can rapidly evolve in response to societal tragedies.In more recent history, March 13, 2013, saw the election of Pope Francis, which brought to the forefront discussions about canon law, the legal system governing the Roman Catholic Church, highlighting the intersection of law and religion.These events, spanning centuries and continents, illustrate the dynamic nature of legal history and its profound impact on societal norms, regulations, and governance. As we reflect on these milestones, it becomes evident that the law is a living entity, constantly adapting to the complexities of human civilization.The federal judiciary has introduced a new policy to combat "judge shopping," a tactic where litigants select specific courts hoping for a favorable ruling, particularly noted in challenges to Biden administration actions in Texas. This practice, prevalent in cases aimed at barring or implementing state or federal actions, will now see civil actions randomly assigned to judges within a district, countering any local practices of case assignments to a single judge. This move, according to Judge Jeffrey Sutton of the Judicial Conference's executive committee, is a response to the increasing use of national injunctions that have seen district judges block nationwide policies across various administrations. While the policy's full implementation details remain unclear, it represents a significant shift aimed at ensuring impartiality and reducing the perception of the judiciary as politically influenced. The policy has drawn attention to judges like Matthew Kacsmaryk and Alan Albright, who have been focal points for conservative cases and patent cases, respectively. Despite these changes, challenges in areas not affecting state and federal law may still experience judge shopping. The judiciary's move is seen as a step towards fairness, although its effectiveness and scope are yet to be fully understood.Federal Courts Aim to Curb Judge Shopping With New Policy (3)US federal judiciary moves to curtail 'judge shopping' tactic | ReutersThe push towards unionizing student athletes, notably highlighted by Dartmouth College's men's basketball team's vote to unionize, has sparked significant controversy and concern among Republicans and university athletics representatives. This development comes amid debates in Congress, particularly focused on whether student athletes should be classified as employees, a question intensified by the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB) decision to allow Dartmouth students to hold a union election. Critics, such as Rep. Burgess Owens, argue that recognizing student athletes as employees poses an "existential threat" to college sports, fearing widespread unintended consequences that could extend beyond NCAA Division I to impact Division II and III, as well as high school athletes.University representatives worry about the implications of employment status on issues ranging from tax exemptions for scholarships to visa eligibility for international students. They also fear the potential for the NLRB's stance to fluctuate with political changes. Proponents of the NLRB's decision, however, argue that past decisions, like the one involving Northwestern University football players, have been misinterpreted and that circumstances have evolved to warrant a reevaluation of student athletes' rights. They advocate for student athletes having a "seat at the table" to negotiate conditions pertinent to their dual roles as students and athletes. This debate gains further complexity considering the recent legal milestones, such as the Supreme Court's NCAA v. Alston case and the NLRB's Columbia University decision, both favoring expanded rights and compensation for students. Amidst these divided opinions, there's consensus on the need for a new approach to how student athletes are treated, with unionization seen as a potential catalyst for change.Unionizing Student Athletes Called ‘Existential Threat' by GOPIn the climax of New York's budget discussions, state Senate and Assembly Democrats have proposed tax increases on high earners and corporations, diverging sharply from Governor Kathy Hochul's stance against income tax hikes. This move aims to address concerns over New York's high tax burden and the outmigration of taxpayers, with progressive factions advocating for these tax hikes to fund education and Medicaid, contrary to Hochul's budgetary constraints. The legislative bodies' budget resolutions, contrasting with Hochul's $233 billion plan, also suggest restrictions on social media for minors and the establishment of an AI research consortium, amongst other priorities.While supporting the enhancement of housing construction and tech regulations, Hochul's budget seeks to manage future deficits through spending limits on public schools and Medicaid, positions not endorsed in the legislative proposals. Despite agreeing on a commercial security tax credit and extending a cap on itemized deductions for the wealthiest, the chambers reject Hochul's approach to school funding, Medicaid spending, and tech governance, indicating a significant battleground.The contention extends to technology policies, where both the Senate and Assembly resist Hochul's proposed AI and social media regulations, though they do introduce other data privacy initiatives. With a looming April 1 deadline and the complexities of Easter timing, achieving consensus appears challenging, especially given Hochul's constitutional leverage and the political implications for upcoming elections. Hochul, emphasizing the urgency to protect children from digital harms, faces a delicate balance between her tech policy goals and securing an on-time budget amidst these divergent legislative priorities.NY Lawmakers' Budgets Oppose Governor's Plans on Taxes, HousingSecuring a summer associate position at a major law firm was significantly more challenging in 2023, with the offer rate to law students at its lowest since 2012. Law firms made 19% fewer offers compared to the previous year, decreasing the average number of offers from 28 in 2022 to 22 in 2023. This reduction in offers resulted in a record-high overall acceptance rate of 47%, as law students found themselves with fewer options to choose from. The decline in summer associate hiring is attributed to a decrease in client demand and the high number of summer associates hired in 2022, leaving firms cautious about adding new talent amidst uncertain client demand. Furthermore, the competition was intensified by a 12% increase in the law student class size for 2024, exacerbating the challenge of securing these coveted positions.Large law firms typically use summer associate programs as a key recruitment tool, offering students six- to 14-week positions that often lead to permanent job offers upon graduation, sometimes with starting salaries up to $225,000. These programs serve as an economic indicator for the legal industry, with firms adjusting their hiring based on anticipated demand. Additionally, the practice of "precruiting," or extending offers ahead of official on-campus interview programs, has risen, with 47% of offers made before these formal events in 2023, up from 23% in 2022. This shift indicates a change in how law firms are approaching recruitment, with most of the decline in offers occurring through school-sponsored interview programs.Law firm summer associate recruiting hits 11-year low in 2023 | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

In this episode, the second in a series about the Great Astronomers through history, we take a deep dive into the life and discoveries or Sir William Herschel.  Herschel was a true renaissance man and achieved a great deal in his life.  He was a very accomplished musician and composer as well as making some of the most important scientific discoveries of his time.  He discovered the first planet beyond Saturn, discovered infrared radiation and more than 2000 deep sky objects.  He built many telescopes, including the largest in the world for the time.  He worked with his sister Caroline, another Great Astronomer as well as his son John, who certainly qualifies as a Great Astronomer as well.

In this episode, Audra and Gunther introduce you to our new "format". First, we're diving into the "fortnight of history". Then we'll welcome our resident political scientist, Katrin, to give us a bit more insight into the mechanics of the newly formed German government. ---- This fortnight in history: Birth of Walther Bothe (1891-1957) in Oranienburg, Germany. Bothe was a physics professor at the universities of Berlin, Giessen, and Heidelberg. He and Hans Geiger established the particle nature of electromagnetic radiation. He discovered the strange radiation given off by beryllium, which was later identified as neutron radiation. During WWII, he built Germany's first cyclotron in 1943. In 1954 while a professor at the University of Heidelberg, he won the Nobel Prize for Physics for the development of a method of detecting subatomic particles. Death of Caroline Lucretia Herschel (1750-1848) in Hannover, Germany. Herschel was the sister of the astronomer Sir William Herschel. Some years after William had emigrated to England, he sent for her. Her early assignment was to keep house and to grind and polish mirrors for her brother. She soon began, however, to do much of the mathematical calculation of her brother's work. After she had begun to do her own telescopic observations, she discovered three nebulae and eight comets. In 1798, she completed a catalog of 560 stars missing in the British Catalog. By 1822 she had completed a catalog of 2,500 nebulae and star clusters. She was given a gold medal by the British Astronomical Society. After her brother's death, she returned to Germany and continued her work there. January 12, 1993 A German court in Berlin drops charges against Erich Honecker (related to shootings at the German-German border) with the justification that he was 80 years old and terminally ill. January 13, 1994 Erich Honecker leaves Germany for Chile. Honecker had been the leader of East Germany. After the reunification, there was the possibility of trying him for crimes against humanity, but due to his cancer, he was allowed to leave Germany. January 16, 1917 The German minister, Arthur Zimmermann, sends a telegram through the German ambassador in Washington to the German ambassador in Mexico, offering Mexico an alliance against the United States. He proposes that Mexico will be assisted in retaking Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona. The telegram is intercepted and decoded by British intelligence and given to President Woodrow Wilson. The telegram becomes instrumental in forming American public opinion against Germany and for entering the war, as Wilson gives it to the press in March. (America will enter the war five weeks later.) --- German Politics; a conversation with Katrin.

Synopsis Today is the birthday of a quite remarkable 18th century British composer, Sir William Herschel, who was born in Hannover, Germany, on this date in 1738. Herschel's father was a regimental oboist, and young William himself eventually joined papa's regimental band – also as an oboist. In his early 20s he settled in England, was active in Newcastle, Leeds, Halifax, and Bath, and in time became a prominent figure on the music scene, attracting the attention of the Royal Family. He composed 24 symphonies and a number of concertos. In addition to musicHerschel had a passion for astronomy, and, beginning in the 1770s, concentrated more and more of his attention on scientific matters. In 1781, he discovered the planet Uranus, a feat that made him famous throughout Europe. Herschel was named “Astronomer Royal” to the British crown and given a pension that enabled him to give up music and devote himself entirely to astronomy. Haydn, during his stay in England, paid Herschel a visit to take a peek through his impressive 40-foot telescope. Herschel was knighted in 1817 and became the first president of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1821. He died the following year, in 1822, at the age of 83.

On the eve of launching the world’s largest telescope into space, the European Space Agency’s Director of Science & Robotic Exploration gives a wide-ranging lecture discussing the Herschel and Planck missions, ESA policy and programmes, ESAs astronomical work and his experience as an ESA director. The core of this lecture was an exploration of the Herschel and Planck missions. Herschel, named after Sir William Herschel who from his home in Slough discovered light beyond the visible spectrum and mapped the northern skies, was designed to detect infrared to submillimetre wavelengths from cool objects across the Universe. Planck, named after German physicist Max Planck, was Europe's first mission to study the Cosmic Microwave Background, the relic radiation from the Big Bang. Dr David Southwood addressed a meeting organised by the Royal Aeronautical Society’s Space Group on 30 April 2009. The lecture was introduced by Pat Norris FRAeS and the podcast was edited by Eur Ing Mike Stanberry FRAeS.

It's been a busy week in the apocalypse for Pete & Fran. We get to the bottom of the issue of potholes & Cornonavirus in Moldova. We also find time to watch 1987 classic 'Dirty Dancing' & speak to William Herschel, the man who discovered Uranus *snigger* SHOW NOTES Moldova, an Eastern European country and former Soviet republic, has varied terrain including forests, rocky hills and vineyards. Its wine regions include Nistreana, known for reds, and Codru, home to some of the world’s largest cellars. Capital Chișinău has Soviet-style architecture and the National Museum of History, exhibiting art and ethnographic collections that reflect cultural links with neighboring Romania. Dirty Dancing is a 1987 American romantic drama dance film written by Eleanor Bergstein, produced by Linda Gottlieb, and directed by Emile Ardolino. It stars Jennifer Grey as Frances "Baby" Houseman, a young woman who falls in love with dance instructor Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze) at a holiday resort. Sir William Herschel was a German-born British astronomer and composer, who is widely credited as the founder of sidereal astronomy for observing the heavenly bodies. He found the planet Uranus and its two moons, and formulated a theory of stellar evolution.

On this date in 1781, English astronomer Sir William Herschel discovered the planet Uranus, named after Ouranos, the Greek god of the sky.

Here in America, we're a month away from the Fourth of July. And as you probably learned in school, it's a celebration of the United States Declaration of Independence, which happened in 1776. So why am I bringing this up? I was doing some research for today's episode, and found that the first constitution wasn't actually written in 1776. It was ratified in 1781. Why is that year significant? Well, that's the same year that a man named Sir William Herschel discovered Uranus. He thought it was a comet, it was very difficult to see, especially with the technology at that time. But a couple years later, they were able to confirm for sure that it was a new planet. And they named it after the Greek deity, Oranous or Father Sky, the corollary to Mother Earth. So the planet became known as Uranus. 1781 is very significant year for revolution and change and transformation for an entire nation and really for the whole world. And that's the year we discover this planet Uranus. So that gives us a clue of what kind of qualities Uranus brings to your chart and to your life, to the world as a whole, and when Uranus is transiting through your Vedic Astrology chart. We'll talk all about that in today's episode --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/astrology/message

In 1771, Sir William Herschel first observed Uranus (though he was not the first to do so). In 1778, Carl Wilhelm Scheele identified the chemical element Molybdenum (though he was not the first to do so). A few years ago, Anna found out that salt makes food taste good (she was the first to do so).

Why take a risk when you can take two? That was the nailbiting scenario planned by the European Space Agency on Thursday when it launched two highly sensitive and extremely important astronomical probes in the same launch vehicle. Planck and Herschel are now on their way on the next stage of their journey to an orbital position known as L2. Herschel is the largest ever space telescope with a mirror twice the size of that of Hubble, but operating at far-infrared wavelengths which are particularly valuable in probing star formation processes. It will be able to detect early galaxy formation and evolution by looking at extremely distant targets. For those of you that are relatively new to astronomy, the probe is named after the distinguished historical astronomer, Sir William Herschel who was assisted by his wife Caroline. Planck, named after the great physicist, Max Planck, will study the distant cosmic microwave background radiation. For both such tasks you require low temperatures and this is one of the advantages of their particular location. You can learn more from this video which was produced last year.
