1. Claim of Increased Terrorist Threat four terrorist attacks have occurred within ten days in the U.S. All attacks are described as being carried out by radical Islamic terrorists targeting Americans. The country may be on the verge of a large-scale mass-casualty attack. 2. Blame on Open Border Policies The Biden administration is accused of maintaining a “wide open border”. Claims are made that millions of illegal immigrants, including terrorists, entered the U.S. Statistics are cited showing an increase in encounters with individuals on the terrorist watch list after 2021. “Gotaways” (unapprehended border crossers) are described as a major unknown security risk. 3. DHS Funding Controversy Senate Democrats are accused of repeatedly voting against funding DHS. The speakers argue this effectively: Leaves TSA agents, Coast Guard members, FEMA workers, and DHS analysts unpaid Weakens terrorism prevention capabilities ICE is noted as already funded, undermining the Democrats’ stated rationale. 4. Criticism of Democratic Leadership Democrats are described as being “serene” about DHS shutdown risks. Senator Brian Schatz is singled out as emblematic of this attitude. The argument suggests Democrats prioritize ideology and opposition to Trump over public safety. 5. Specific Terror Attack Examples Austin, TX: A shooter described as a radical Islamist opening fire at a bar. New York City: Two teens allegedly inspired by ISIS throwing homemade bombs. Michigan: A vehicle attack at a synagogue/school stopped by armed security. Old Dominion University: A former ISIS supporter, released early from prison, opening fire and being stopped by a student. 6. Media Criticism Mainstream outlets, especially CNN, are accused of: Downplaying or mischaracterizing terrorist motives Avoiding the term “radical Islamic terrorism” Failing to hold Democrats accountable Examples of allegedly misleading headlines and retractions are cited. 7. Distinction Between Islam and Islamism Senator Cruz emphasizes a distinction between: Peaceful Muslims Islamism, defined as a violent political ideology He argues refusing to name the ideology prevents effective counterterrorism.

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms
Based on a recent listener question about letting go as your kids get older and gain more independence, we're highlighting some of our past interview episodes that address this topic. Anxiety is a natural response to stress. Sometimes it's even useful, like when it alerts us to danger. But when anxiety grips our children, they often don't (can't) explain how they're feeling, and their inner turmoil can take over. In this episode we discuss: coping strategies for all ages and stages how anxiety in children can be easy to miss the negative behaviors anxious kids might exhibit why letting our kids avoid anxiety-causing situations is counterproductive how anxiety "lives in the future” We also interview Dr. Lisa Damour about her book Under Pressure: Confronting the Epidemic of Stress and Anxiety in Girls. Dr. Damour's book is full of empathetic insight and useful takeaways for helping our anxious daughters (and sons). Here's links to other research and writing discussed in this episode: Lindsay Holmes for Huffington Post Life: 10 Things People Get Wrong About Anxiety Liz Matheis for anxiety.org: Identifying Signs of Anxiety in Children CDC: Data and Statistics on Children's Mental Health Metropolitan CBT: About Anxiety What Fresh Hell is co-hosted by Amy Wilson and Margaret Ables.

We hope to see you there! What makes a piece of research “public property,” and what ethical obligations does that create for critics and authors alike? When a result feels wrong but you can't locate the “smoking gun,” how should skepticism be calibrated without sliding into cynicism? How can a field avoid mistaking the absence of obvious errors for evidence that a claim is sound? What incentives cause entire literatures to form around fragile findings, and why do they persist for so long? Why do some researchers experience replication attempts as hostility, while others experience them as a gift? What norms would make constructive public criticism more common and less personally costly? How should we weigh a paper's contribution when its analysis is flawed but its question is valuable? When is it rational to trust “the literature,” and when is the literature itself likely to be trapped in self-reinforcing error? What would it take for scientific communities to treat uncertainty as an honest output rather than a professional liability? Can a culture of open critique exist without amplifying bad-faith attacks or anti-science narratives?

In this episode of the Spinoza Triad, John Gibbs and Richard Miller delve into the themes of Byung-Chul Han's 'Psycho-politics', exploring the shift from a disciplinary society to one driven by emotions and individualism. They discuss the implications of neoliberalism on personal identity, the rise of emotional capitalism, and the gamification of life and work. The conversation also touches on the impact of big data and the quantified self, examining how these elements shape our understanding of happiness, success, and personal agency in a data-driven world."You're worth it.""Just do it.""Data is the new faith."The shift from a disciplinary society to one focused on emotions is significant.Neoliberalism emphasizes individualism and personal achievement.Emotional capitalism manipulates feelings to drive consumer behavior.Gamification blurs the lines between work and play, affecting productivity.The quantified self movement reflects a culture obsessed with measurement.Big data is seen as a new form of faith, replacing traditional narratives.The digital unconscious influences our desires and behaviors without our awareness.Statistics can dehumanize individuals, reducing them to mere data points.The pursuit of efficiency in data can lead to irrational outcomes.True happiness and meaning cannot be quantified or measured.

Send a textIn this episode, hosts Beth McMullen and Lisa Schmid welcome back author and literacy advocate Fleur Bradley. The discussion centers on the importance of mysteries in keeping kids reading, the structural "nuts and bolts" of writing for middle grade (MG) versus young adult (YA) audiences, and the release of Bradley's new craft book designed to help writers navigate the genre. Get A Clue is available for preorder right now! Releases April 7th.Key Discussion PointsAddressing the Literacy "Drop-off"Statistics show a significant decline in reading for pleasure as children move from 3rd grade into middle school.Middle grade and YA mysteries act as a "hook" to keep reluctant readers engaged because of their high stakes and interactive nature.Mysteries foster critical thinking and deductive reasoning, making the reader an active participant in the story.Crafting the MG and YA MysteryThe "Fair Play" Rule: In a successful mystery, the reader must be given all the clues necessary to solve the crime alongside the protagonist.Pacing and Momentum: Unlike contemporary fiction, which may focus heavily on internal character arcs, mysteries require constant external momentum and "beats" to keep the reader turning pages.Revision Strategies: Using a structural approach during the revision process can help identify "sagging middles" and ensure clues are properly planted.Defining the Crime by Age CategoryMiddle Grade (MG): * The focus is on the puzzle and the "how."While murder can be a plot point, it should be handled with a "cozy" sensibility—minimal gore and focused on the intellectual challenge.Young Adult (YA): * Allows for more "grit," darkness, and emotional complexity.Authors have more flexibility regarding the types of crimes and the level of peril involved.Practical Advice for Aspiring AuthorsWriters are encouraged to focus on the "nuts and bolts" of plotting early on.Implementing "Your Turn" exercises—taking a specific craft lesson and immediately applying it to a current manuscript—is the most effective way to learn the genre.Character voice is paramount; testing a character's voice through short scenes can determine if they are strong enough to carry a full-length mystery.Key TakeawaysMysteries are essential tools for literacy because they turn reading into a game or puzzle.Structure is the backbone of the genre; without a solid plot and well-timed clues, a mystery will lose its audience.Understanding the specific expectations of the MG vs. YA market is crucial for publication success.

A new survey by financial comparison website CanStar has found that many Australian households are currently worried or have concerns about future energy bill payments as federal rebates run out this year. This is in addition to an underlying price increase in household electricity bills. Over the last month, they've risen by approximately 4.5% according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. CanStar's Data Insights Director, Sally Tindall spoke to SBS's Cameron Carr about what the latest data is showing.
Statistics show that half of us will experience a mental health condition of some kind by the time we turn forty. Could this be due to the increasing pressures and looming crises we're currently facing in the modern world, overstimulating natural responses in our brains and bodies that have evolved over hundreds of thousands of years to protect us from threats? In this episode, we're joined by Dr Joanna Cheek, a psychiatrist, psychotherapist and clinical professor based at the University of British Columbia's Faculty of Medicine, to talk about her latest book, It's Not You, It's the World – A Mental Health Survival Guide for Us All. She tells us how the system of alarm signals in our brains is being increasingly triggered by the rapidly changing circumstances we find ourselves in, how this is hijacking the push and pull of our natural risk/reward systems, and why connecting more deeply with the rich tapestry of the people and cultures we share the world with can help us all bring our lives back into balance.

This week Elle and Vee chat with JJ of Sexie Show podcast about all things cuckolding. From the thrill of watching, to the juicy tension of jealousy, ego, and control, the girls ask the questions on everyone's minds: why do it? What does a cuck get out of it? They get into the real difference between cuckolding and hot wifing, why so many couples are secretly curious, and how this “taboo” dynamic can actually unlock deeper trust, better communication, and unexpected emotional intimacy.

Their series on addiction continues with this episode where the hosts explore whether the idea of an “addictive personality” is real and what actually drives addiction. Joseph and Paula review global and U.S. addiction statistics:Tens of millions worldwide have drug use disorders.Hundreds of millions have alcohol use disorders.Combined, hundreds of millions globally meet criteria for substance use disorders, contributing to over 3 million deaths annually.In the U.S., about 1 in 6 people aged 12+ meet criteria for substance use disorder each year.Despite the scale of the problem, treatment access is extremely limited:The key takeaway: most people who don't receive treatment are not refusing help—they are scared, overwhelmed, unsupported, or stuck in survival mode. Addiction is complex, human, and deeply tied to both emotional pain and systemic barriers, not a flawed personality.Listen now, and don't forget to subscribe and share—this is a conversation that could change lives!Questions?

Under RFK Jr.'s leadership, the CDC is withholding critical information about vaccine-preventable diseases from the American public. One of the most renowned immunologist in country explains why.
Trevor Kavanagh, former political editor of The Sun, joins Julia Hartley-Brewer to dissect the latest immigration and asylum figures — and the continued public anger at the gap between political spin and what people can see happening on Britain's borders.Ministers may point to a fall in work, study and family visas, a small dip in asylum claims, and fewer asylum seekers in hotels — but Julia and Trevor ask the blunt question: what does “control” look like when illegal migrants are still arriving in large numbers, with small boats surging as soon as the weather improves? Trevor argues that a government's first duty is to defend the country — and that Britain has become a destination of choice, with taxpayers left funding accommodation, food and healthcare for people who entered unlawfully.Trevor also gives his take on two other flashpoints driving distrust in politics: the murky fallout from the Mandelson arrest story, and the uncertainty around the Chagos Islands deal — including whether Britain really will hand over sovereign territory and then pay to lease back a strategic military base.Then Jamie Jenkins, former ONS statistician, explains what the data actually shows behind the headlines: year-to-date increases in Channel crossings, the scale of asylum claims, how many are granted at first decision versus on appeal, and why “fewer hotel rooms” doesn't necessarily mean fewer claimants — with many simply moved into other accommodation that is still funded by the state.Finally, Julia and Jamie turn to the other crisis hiding in plain sight: the NHS. With spending having doubled over recent years, why aren't outcomes improving? Jamie lays out the real pressure points — an ageing population (including a projected surge in over-75s), inefficiency, broken processes, and why digitisation and better productivity may matter as much as extra funding.Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM.Available on YouTube and streaming platforms, along with DAB+ radio and your smart speaker.

Building a model for an academic paper is one thing. Building a model that has to work perfectly during the Cricket World Cup with millions watching is something else entirely. There's no room for the kind of errors that might be acceptable in research settings or even standard business applications.In this Value Boost episode, Prof. Steve Stern joins Dr. Genevieve Hayes to share practical lessons from deploying the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method in high-pressure, real-time environments where mistakes have global consequences.You'll learn:Why model simplicity matters more than you think [02:04]The two types of errors you need to understand [03:21]How to test models for extreme situations [05:50]The balance between confidence and humility [07:37]Guest BioProf. Steve Stern is a Professor of Data Science at Bond University, and is the official custodian of the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) cricket scoring system.LinksContact Steve at Bond UniversityConnect with Genevieve on LinkedInBe among the first to hear about the release of each new podcast episode by signing up HERE
Professor Olga Vitek has a deep understanding of statistics, machine learning, and computational biology. She puts her know-how to work to develop computational tools enabling high-quality proteomic analysis and systems biology approaches. She hopes to apply these tools to the quantitative analysis of large-scale mass spectrometry-based investigations and thereby advance our understanding of organismal function.

“Grief happens because you don't stop loving the person who died. The person doesn't exist in your reality anymore. The everyday is not colored and shaped by this other human being, but you don't stop loving the person. So grief is a particular kind of unrequited love. And probably without that dynamic relationship with this person, I would be someone else. And he would've been someone else. I mean, Paul died before me. But we were, I think, hugely important to the drama of becoming in our own lives.”Today, we are honored to welcome a writer whose work has long explored the intimate landscapes of the mind, memory and the heart. Siri Hustvedt's writing moves between the personal and the philosophical, the literary and the deeply human. Her work bridges collections of essays, non-fiction, poetry, and seven novels, including the international bestsellers What I Loved and The Summer Without Men. Recipient of the Princess of Asturias Award for Literature and the Gabarron Prize for Thought, her work has been translated into over thirty languages. Her new memoir, Ghost Stories, is a reflection on forty-three years shared with her late husband, the writer and filmmaker Paul Auster. In its pages, we encounter not only love and loss, but the quiet persistence of presence, memory, and language itself.(0:00) Grief as Unrequited LoveSiri explores the emotional reality of living without Paul Auster, noting that grief occurs because love does not stop when a person dies.(4:00) Facing Death with CourageThe importance of not hiding from mortality and how discussing end-of-life wishes offered a necessary perspective.(12:37) Reading from Ghost StoriesSiri reads the opening passage of her memoir, detailing how the loss of her husband deranged her sense of time and bodily rhythms.(18:41) The Phantom Limb: ” The beloved is taken away and it feels as if you're amputated or gutted.”(21:50) Grandfather, Father and Son: Generational Traumas Behind Paul Auster's Writing(24:11) How Powerful Emotions and a Person's Life Can Play a Role in Illness(30:09) Feeding the Earth "Paul very pointedly told me that he wanted to be buried in the Jewish mode.

And probably without that dynamic relationship with this person, I would be someone else. And he would've been someone else. I mean, Paul died before me. But we were, I think, hugely important to the drama of becoming in our own lives.”Today, we are honored to welcome a writer whose work has long explored the intimate landscapes of the mind, memory and the heart. Siri Hustvedt's writing moves between the personal and the philosophical, the literary and the deeply human. Her work bridges collections of essays, non-fiction, poetry, and seven novels, including the international bestsellers What I Loved and The Summer Without Men. Recipient of the Princess of Asturias Award for Literature and the Gabarron Prize for Thought, her work has been translated into over thirty languages. Her new memoir, Ghost Stories, is a reflection on forty-three years shared with her late husband, the writer and filmmaker Paul Auster. In its pages, we encounter not only love and loss, but the quiet persistence of presence, memory, and language itself.(0:00) Grief as Unrequited LoveSiri explores the emotional reality of living without Paul Auster, noting that grief occurs because love does not stop when a person dies.(4:00) Facing Death with CourageThe importance of not hiding from mortality and how discussing end-of-life wishes offered a necessary perspective.(12:37) Reading from Ghost StoriesSiri reads the opening passage of her memoir, detailing how the loss of her husband deranged her sense of time and bodily rhythms.(18:41) The Phantom Limb: ” The beloved is taken away and it feels as if you're amputated or gutted.”(21:50) Grandfather, Father and Son: Generational Traumas Behind Paul Auster's Writing(24:11) How Powerful Emotions and a Person's Life Can Play a Role in Illness(30:09) Feeding the Earth "Paul very pointedly told me that he wanted to be buried in the Jewish mode. And the phrase he used was, “I want my body to feed the earth.”(44:23) Physical Love in MarriageOn the importance of physical intimacy in long-term marriages, a reality often left out of grief memoirs.(54:00) The Philosophy of the BetweenHow relational existence is foundational to life.(1:00:16) The Hubris of Controlling Nature(1:12:00) The Dark History of Statistics(1:32:12) The Art of Learning vs. AI and Automated Outcomes“I think we have to ask ourselves, what is education?

Welcome back, Void! It's our mother's birthday so we will be discussing one of her favorite topics: SPORT! This time we're discussing baseball, and in particular Moneyball, which took place in our community. It's the story of the criminally underpaid Oakland A's and their quest to get slightly better. This movie is not about successes or heroic deeds, it's about STATISTICS, ANALYTICS, and MATHEMATICS!! We do have a ton of fun talking about submarine pitchers, the Streak, the superstitions of baseball, and the mad mind games of player trading. Brennan has a one-sided beef with KNBR, Erin can relate to Hatteberg through her kickball experiences, and they both agree that Oakland's love for their teams has not been reciprocated by the team owners (EVER). Despite the A's move to Las Vegas, and despite our hosts being bigger fans of other teams, let's be real, it's hard not to be romantic about baseball.

https://www.siegergolf.com/offers/BaAEYBog/checkout This week on The Golfing Mind, we are stripping golf back to the cold, hard evidence. No clichés. No swing theories. Just Facts, Figures and Statistics. Over the past twenty years, the average PGA Tour drive has increased by more than ten yards. Ball speeds have surged. Players train like elite athletes. Technology has refined every inch of performance. And yet — scoring has improved by barely half a stroke. How can that be? We'll explore the rise of Strokes Gained — the statistical revolution that exposes exactly where tournaments are won and lost. We'll examine Greens in Regulation, sand save percentages, driving accuracy, and putting averages. We'll reveal how less than one stroke per round often separates the world number one from the player ranked fiftieth. And here's the uncomfortable truth: The margins are microscopic. One poor decision. One emotional lapse. One moment of doubt. The numbers prove what I've argued for years — excellence in golf lives inside tiny gaps. And those gaps are not technical. They are psychological. Because when performance differences are measured in tenths of a stroke… The mind becomes the ultimate differentiator. Let's examine the data — and then read between the lines. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For most data scientists, the idea of impacting the world through your work seems impossible. You may be developing technically brilliant solutions within your organisation, but seeing them become industry standards or influence global decisions feels completely out of reach.In this episode, Prof. Steve Stern joins Dr Genevieve Hayes to share how he transformed a mathematical critique of a cricket scoring system into becoming the custodian of the globally adopted Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method - all from an office in Canberra, Australia.This episode reveals:How a single email response changed everything [05:24]Why principles build trust where mathematics can't [13:19]The "error whack-a-mole" problem that destroys credibility [16:00]The real secret to creating work with impact [30:29]Guest BioProf. Steve Stern is a Professor of Data Science at Bond University, and is the official custodian of the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) cricket scoring system.LinksContact Steve at Bond UniversityConnect with Genevieve on LinkedInBe among the first to hear about the release of each new podcast episode by signing up HERE
