On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the eerie history of St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery, exploring its transformation from Peter Stuyvesant's family chapel to a hub of paranormal intrigue. We'll delve into firsthand accounts of ghostly apparitions, mysterious bell tolls, and the persistent legend of Stuyvesant's restless spirit. Join us as we examine the psychological and environmental factors that might explain these phenomena, and consider the cultural impact of one of New York City's most enduring haunted landmarks. Is it all just folklore, or does something otherworldly linger within the church's historic walls?

The name Stuyvesant can be found everywhere in New York City -- in the names of neighborhoods, apartments, parks and high schools. Peter Stuyvesant, the last director-general of New Amsterdam, is a hero to some, a villain to others -- and probably a caricature to all. What do we really know about Peter Stuyvesant?In their last days in Amsterdam (before heading to other parts of the Netherlands), Tom and Greg spend their time getting to know Stuyvesant, thanks to their special guest Jaap Jacobs, the author of a forthcoming biography on the elusive and controversial figure.And outside the mayor's residence in Amsterdam's exclusive Gouden Bocht (Golden Bend), they meet up with Jennifer Tosch of Black Heritage Tours (with tours in New York and Amsterdam) to investigate the story of New Amsterdam and the Dutch slave trade.PLUS They stroll around New Amsterdam on a dark, stormy evening. No really! Well, it's the village of Marken where one can find the closest approximation of what New Amsterdam looked like.AND A few more myths are dispelled. What actual date should New York City mark as its anniversary -- 1624, 1625, or 1626? Did a letter describing the so-called 'purchase of Manhattan' from the Lenape actually come from New Amsterdam? And was New Amsterdam, in fact, even its real name?Visit the website for images and other information pertaining to this show

Traveling south from Rensselaer NY, through Castleton, Stuyvesant, Stockport, Hudson and Catskill on 9J, on his way home , Dave records a Dumbcast,in a carcast, in a Podcast. You're riding shotgun with Dave. Sit comfortably and enjoy the ride in his 2008 KIA Rio LX. You're pretty safe here… for the most part. We do a mileage report as the Kia also known as a porta poddy crosses 324,910 miles. Woo hoo. It's 38° and absolutely sunny during the drive as we're southbound along the Hudson River and parallel to the Amtrak railroad tracks as it passes me by. Pretty impressive. After a brief explanation that no one cares about, Dave gets to his weigh in. He's been eating strictly Carnivore since Mid-October of 2023. He started at 297lbs and is now down to 253.6. That's almost 44lbs. Woo hoo. But as a pragmatic we know it's not about the numbers. Dave looks at total fitness a different way. Dave uses the measure of activity to measure FITness. The more active you are chances are you're healthier and more fit. Dave also discusses his feelings on different disciplines. He discusses opportunities for growth. He discusses his Boxing training. Are kids today mastering disciplines? If not what does that mean for the future? Does discipline offer hope? We read listeners comments. We previously discussed what we've quit. Next episode we hope to discuss what we want to learn, to master or to experience growth with. Dave mentions how he would like to live the next 30 years like he should have lived his first 30 years. Check us out on Twitter @dumbwithdave. Facebook at the Dumbing it Down with Dave Facebook group.

It is now 1648. In this episode, two tough guys, Johan "Big Belly" Printz of New Sweden and Peter "Peg Leg" Stuyvesant of New Netherland, escalate their competition to control the critical Delaware River, now an essential artery for the fur trade coming out of Susquehannock territory in Pennsylvania and points farther west. Sweden and Netherland were at peace in Europe, so there would be no shooting, but all sorts of guns would be pointed without pulling the trigger or lighting the match. Eventually, the Dutch would put together the largest European army in North America since Soto and Coronado in the 1540s, and put an end to New Sweden as a political entity, raising the Dutch flag over the forts at today's New Castle and Wilmington, Delaware. Along the way we hear the horrific story of the Katten, a Swedish ship full of settlers that ran aground just off Puerto Rico. Everybody survived the immediate crisis, only to fall into the hands of the Spanish and then the French on St. Croix. Folks, don't let that happen to you.

Episode 197 - Marvina Robinson, B. Stuyvesant Champagne by Michelle Mandro
Naval Ravikant est un entrepreneur et un investisseur américain très connu. Il est né en Inde en 1974 et a grandi dans le quartier pauvre du Queens, à New York. Malgré des débuts modestes, il a montré un fort intérêt pour la lecture et l'apprentissage dès son plus jeune âge. Il a obtenu une bourse pour le prestigieux lycée Stuyvesant, puis a été accepté à l'Université de Dartmouth, où il a étudié l'économie et l'informatique. Après un stage en cabinet d'avocats qui ne lui a pas plu, il est retourné à l'université et est devenu assistant informatique. En 1996, il a déménagé en Californie pour travailler dans l'industrie technologique. Après quelques emplois ennuyeux, il a quitté son entreprise avec plusieurs millions de dollars pour fonder Epinions.com en 1999, un site d'évaluation de produits par les consommateurs. L'entreprise a connu un succès initial, mais Naval et son associé ont découvert que les investisseurs avaient caché la véritable valeur de l'entreprise. Naval a engagé des poursuites judiciaires contre les investisseurs, ce qui l'a fait surnommer "radioactive mud" dans le milieu. Finalement, l'affaire a été réglée à l'amiable. Après cette expérience, Naval a lancé Venture Hacks, un blog sur le capital-risque, et a commencé à investir dans des start-ups. Il a co-fondé AngelList, une plateforme qui met en relation les start-ups avec des investisseurs. Il a également joué un rôle clé dans le lobbying pour le projet de loi JOBS, qui a facilité les investissements dans les jeunes entreprises. Naval est devenu un investisseur influent et a aidé de nombreuses entreprises à lever des fonds. En plus de ses activités d'investissement, Naval est devenu une figure emblématique de la Silicon Valley. Il partage régulièrement sa philosophie de la richesse et du bonheur, mettant l'accent sur des principes tels que l'honnêteté, la curiosité et l'apprentissage continu. Ses conseils sont très prisés dans le monde des affaires et de la technologie.

For decades, parents across America have asked their kids, “If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?” The answer is, “Duh, yes.” Peers, as parents well know, have a tremendous impact on who their kids are and what they will become. And even while they insist otherwise, parents know that they're largely powerless to change this. But the effect of peers is not just a story about kids; peers can also affect adult behavior—they affect what we do and who we are well into old age. Noted sociologists Syed Ali and Margaret M. Chin call this “the peer effect.” In their book, The Peer Effect: How Your Peers Shape Who You Are and Who You Will Become (NYU Press, 2023), they take readers on a tour of how our peers, and the peer cultures they create, shape our behavior in schools and the workplace. Ali and Chin begin their look at the peer effect at the high school from which they both graduated: New York City's prestigious Stuyvesant High School, arguably the best public high school in the nation. Through a fascinating and often humorous narrative, they show how peers can influence each other—in this case, how highly motivated students can create a culture of influence to achieve success in learning and in admission to elite colleges. They also show the many other ways that peers can influence one another beyond school performance, from hookup culture to school bullying and youth suicide. Ali and Chin are also interested in the extent to which the peer effect can last. Through interviews with adult graduates of Stuyvesant, they investigate the long-lasting effects of high school peer culture. They also examine the peer effect in post–high school settings, notably around workplace misconduct, including the steroid culture in baseball and the use of excessive force by the police. The Peer Effect ultimately offers ways to understand the power of peer influence and apply this understanding to resolving issues regarding schools, college graduation rates, workplace culture, and police violence. In the tradition of big idea books like The Tipping Point, The Peer Effect will forever change the way we look at the world of human behavior. Michael O.

With teenagers there is always a fair amount of posturing when it comes to sex, a tendency to exaggerate or trivialize, innocence mixed with swagger. It's also true that the “puddle” is just one clique at Stuyvesant, and that Stuyvesant can hardly be considered a typical high school. It attracts the brightest public-school students in New York, and that may be an environment conducive to fewer sexual inhibitions. “In our school,” Elle says, “people are getting a better education, so they're more open-minded.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/you-betterknow4/message

His father is Alexander Genis, a well-known Russian public intellectual and author. Daniel attended Stuyvesant high school and NYU, graduating in 1999. He began a career in publishing at the same time as selling blow and getting hooked on dope. He also read the entire corpus of writing from antiquity and was well into the Middle Ages when narcotics interfered. After a very desperate summer week in 2003, he was convicted of five counts of robbery and sent to prison for ten years. His time in Maximun Security as a New Yorker-reading smarty-pants and prison-yard weight lifter was good fodder for a journalistic career and the memoir SENTENCE; Ten Years & a Thousand Books in Prison. Today he's been free and clean since his release in 2014 and lives with his wife Petra Szabo in Brooklyn, NY.
As a 12-year Member of the New York City Council Dan Garodnick was known as one of New York's most independent voices and effective legislators. Dan is a fierce tenant advocate and, in 2015, negotiated the largest affordable housing preservation deal in New York City's history -- 5,000 middle class housing units in Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village. Dan shares his personal connection to Stuyvesant Town and how he ended up saving the homes of 30,000 residents over a 9 year battle against Metropolitan Life. He talks about his involvement in politics from a young age and how he went about carrying the weight burden for his community.A lawyer with a background in civil rights, today Dan is the President and CEO of the Riverside Park Conservancy, a not-for profit organization advocating for a six mile park on Manhattan's West Side.

Taken aback by her photography from her Instagram page, I thought it would have been a great opportunity to have her on the show to discuss her history, experience, and how she captures the moment to create stunning and breathtaking photography. Many people may know her as the wife of Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen. What many do not know is that she is also a graduate of Brooklyn Tech (1 of the 3 most in-demand public high schools in New York City to enroll in along with Bronx Science and Stuyvesant) and SUNY Purchase, where she graduated with a degree in Costume Design. Having worked on everything from live performances to TV shows and film, she was working for Live Nation when she met Phil, and has been pursuing her passion for photography and visual art for a long time. I'm proud to have her on the show along with my partner Denise Escobar to discuss it. Part 2 will be up soon. Thanks to Helen for being an amazing guest, and to my previous guest - the lovely Miss Lorelei Shellist - for helping to set it up. SPOILERS!

Author and community advocate, Dan Garodnick, discusses his book, Saving Stuyvesant Town, the incredible true story of how one middle class community defeated the largest residential real estate deal in American history, and delivered New York City's biggest-ever affordable housing preservation win.
In the past rival claims to New Netherland were laughable, the Dutch had control over the Hudson (North), the Delaware (South) and and the Connecticut (Fresh) river. Then New Sweden stole the Delaware, and the English took the Connecticut. Peter Stuyvesant destroyed New Sweden with the largest professional army ever assembled in that part of the world up until that point. Stuyvesant also negotiated a treaty establishing a border with the New England colonies, only giving up on paper what he already had no plans to recover. New Netherland was now stable and the population exploding under Stuyvesant, in less than 20 years growing to be ten times in size. Still the English Colonies outnumbered the Dutch colony 10:1, and the tides were turning... --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/osoa/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/osoa/support
This week we toast it up and chat with the amazing Melissa Neptune of Josephine's Creme and the amazing Marvina Robinson of Stuyvesant Champagne. About Josephine's Creme My grandmother started making this Creme in her small Louisiana kitchen and began gifting it to the women in her family. I distinctly remember the day this family tradition was passed down to me. During a visit home from attending college in New Orleans, she called out to me, “MELISSA! Get in this kitchen and learn how to make this creme!” I guess she got tired of me always running out AND running to her for more! It never crossed my mind that our family tradition could become an entrepreneurial venture. I began making some of the Creme and gifting it to my friends. My friends loved it. They told others… and they loved it, too. And now Josephine's Creme has grown into a full line of skincare "secrets" that we know you will grow to love! About M. Robinson Growing up, M. Robinson's love affair with champagne began quite humbly as a college student. She and her friends would often pool their limited funds to purchase a bottle of Moet & Chandon, White Star. They frequented a liquor store on Fulton Street and St. James Place within the neighborhood she was raised. They would do the traditional toast, cheers, and proudly sip out of their plastic cups. Although this Bottle of Nostalgia was discontinued, it stoked a love for champagne in Marvina's heart that would burn brightly until this day. M. Robinson desired her own brand of champagne to serve as the private house label for her upcoming champagne bar. In order to achieve that goal, she worked with a vineyard in France to create Stuyvesant Champagne. The first tasting of Stuyvesant Champagne was hosted by Suite 607 located in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. This was the first official tasting in the United States with invited guests. After receiving great feedback from the carefully selected attendees, she was able to confirm the two selections that would become the primary offering of Stuyvesant Champagne; a Rose and a Grand Reserve Brut. One of M. Robinson's fondest memories of champagne occurred in January of 2019 when she visited the famous Les Deux Magots in Paris, France. She sat outside in the cold, under a heated lamp, chatted with a fellow patron, and sipped champagne as they did in the movies. M. Robinson has a zest for life and travels and hopes to bring a taste of home, spice, and culture to the Champagne community. She is one of the few African American women owning a Champagne brand. Her love for her hometown, Bedford-Stuyvesant (Brooklyn, NY), inspired the name of her brand, Stuyvesant Champagne. She invites you to raise a glass and toast to the freshness of family and beginnings of a strong and fruitful relationship. Rose Composition: Traditional blend of the 3 Champagne grape varieties from several harvests. Made up of approximately 60% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier and 20% Chardonnay for the white wine. A Pinot Meunier-based red wine is added. Bottles: 750 ml To the Eye: The salmon-colored rose enhances the sparkling foam. Nose: The generous bouquet evolves towards notes of raspberry and redcurrant. Mouth: The mouth develops into a taste of fleshy cherry. --- 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/therosehourpodcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/therosehourpodcast/support

Lasers aren’t just for sci-fi movies, it turns out they can be used for the treatment of tumors and ultra-fast communications networks. Michael Bass, a professor at the University of Central Florida, is the holder of 34 patents and a 2019 inductee in the Florida Inventors’ Hall of Fame. Bass invented ways to use lasers to treat bleeding in the gastrointestinal system, detect nanoparticles associated with tumors, and amplify light in fiberoptic cables. TRANSCRIPT: Intro: 0:01 Inventors and their inventions. Welcome to Radio Cade a podcast from the Cade Museum for Creativity and Invention in Gainesville, Florida. The museum is named after James Robert Cade, who invented Gatorade in 1965. My name is Richard Miles. We’ll introduce you to inventors and the things that motivate them, we’ll learn about their personal stories, how their inventions work, and how their ideas get from the laboratory to the marketplace. Richard Miles: 0:38 Lasers. No scifi movie can do without them, but it turns out they’re good for lots of other things, including the treatment of tumors and advanced communications networks. Welcome to Radio Cade . I’m your host Richard Miles recording at the University of South Florida in partnership with our Florida Inventors Hall of Fame, as well as USF today. My guest is Michael Bass, professor Ameritas at the College of Optics and Photonics at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. He is also the holder of 34 U.S. patents as well as a 2019 inductee into the Florida Inventors Hall of Fame. Welcome to show Michael and congratulations. Michael Bass: 1:11 Oh, thank you very much. It’s a pleasure to be here. Richard Miles: 1:14 So we usually start out the show explaining the inventors technology, but you’ve got 34 patents. So I’m sort of at a loss where to begin here, but why don’t we start with a very basic definition of lasers and the types of things they can be use for, and then we’ll move from there and to specific applications that are contained in some of your patents. Michael Bass: 1:32 Sure. First, a laser is a device that produces a lot of light. It also produces it with very special properties so that you can focus it very carefully and you can select from a variety of lasers to be able to look at different kinds of effects, some effects depend on frequency or wavelength of the laser. Some activities you want to do require shorter pulses. We now have lasers that run continuously and yet other lasers that make pulses as short as 10 to the minus 15 seconds. Richard Miles: 2:05 Wow. Okay. So there’s a lot of power there and a lot of utility and you have managed to figure out a number of different ways in which is sort of harness the power of lasers to do different things that I think people wouldn’t ordinarily think of. And I think one of the cool things about talking about inventions is not just the inventions themselves, but how did the inventor think of them? So let’s start out with one that I’ve heard you talk about, and that is using lasers to treat bleeding in the gastrointestinal system. How did you come up with that idea? What led you to that particular use? Michael Bass: 2:37 All inventions begin with a question in this case, the question was raised to me by two people who are gastroenterologists at the university of Southern California Medical School. They had been using fiber optic endoscopes and could see pathologies bleeding and ulcers in the gastrointestinal system. And the comment both made was it’s very frustrating. We can’t do anything about it. Richard Miles: 3:03 They can see it, but they couldn’t do anything. Michael Bass: 3:04 They could see it and they couldn’t do anything. And they were very frustrated. So the question was, what could they do to treat these problems inside the gastrointestinal system? So my suggestion was, as it turned out, invention was to use a separate fiber optic to transmit laser light into the GI system with endoscopic control so that you could aim it at the bleeding site, turn on the laser and cauterize the bleeding lasers had been used to cauterize bleeding prior to this, but not with the fiber optic and internally into the body. When this patent was written, the patent attorney included the expression, introduced into the patient through openings, natural or manmade. Now that was brilliant because the last three words or manmade made our patent a predecessor or a precursor to all of laparoscopic surgery. Richard Miles: 4:00 Wow, okay. I hope you’d kept that patent attorney on the payroll. Michael Bass: 4:03 I should hope so. Richard Miles: 4:05 Just out of curiosity, you said this started with a question from these two doctors, how did they come to you or you to them? Was this a professional meeting or was this just by luck? Michael Bass: 4:14 Actually, they came to see me. I had not yet been at USC for more than two months. It was about the last part of the second month I was there. I had no equipment. I had no lab. I just got there and they were at the USC medical school and there must have been an announcement of the new faculty or the new people. And they came by, they literally knocked on my door and came in and sat down and we started to talk and their frustration was very clear. They didn’t know what to do once they saw these bleeding sites, once the idea was put out and we tested it and tried it out and we actually got permission to try it with human subjects. And it was phenomenal that we could stop the bleeding, the patients would get healthy again. And it was just great. It was a very exciting time. Richard Miles: 5:00 Is this now widely used procedure? Is fairly common or is it still unusual? Michael Bass: 5:04 Well, as far as I know, it’s pretty wide use several companies, manufacturer, laser devices with fiber optic connections to be used by gastroenterologists one company that made it was in Germany, Messerschmitt which of course was a strange name to associate with medical equipment but there it was. Richard Miles: 5:24 So I imagine this procedure has saved a lot of money and probably a lot of literal pain. Right? What was the standard of care before that they would see the bleeding and then they’d have to go back later and operate or would they just not stop the bleeding? Michael Bass: 5:37 Well, they had to eventually stop the bleeding or you would bleed out cause with serious bleeds the treatment prior to this. And prior to the later knowledge of bacterial cause for stomach ulcers, that was not clear prior to what I did with the fiber optic. And the laser was treatment with antacids, treatment with reducing different kinds of foods, staying away from alcohol, reduce smoking a lot of things, Richard Miles: 6:03 None of which turns out to be terribly effective. Michael Bass: 6:05 And if they were, it took a long time for them to take effect with the laser quarter he treatment, it took the time it took to have an endoscopy, which is maybe a half hour. Richard Miles: 6:14 Wow . So a tremendous leap forward and the ability to treat those conditions. Michael Bass: 6:17 Right. You could begin to heal almost immediately. Richard Miles: 6:20 Okay . Let’s move on to one of the second applications that you have discovered, and that is using nanoparticles that emit visible light for the treatment of tumors. If I understand basically illuminates the tumor, is that sort of the concept involved or do I have that wrong? Michael Bass: 6:34 You have it a little bit confused. Quite literally, I met Sudipta Seal on the crosswalk, going to the student union at UCF and knew that he was looking for help with a problem that he had. And I asked him what was the problem? And he said, sirium oxide nanoparticles have an effect on the radiation treatment of various tumors. The problem that everyone had was they didn’t know what was going on because the nanoparticles were too small to be seen to be located. You didn’t know where they were. So I suggested standing there on the crosswalk, going to the student union and get my lunch. I said, well, you add certain rare earth elements and you can then put a little bit of light on these nanoparticles and they will light up and emit visible light. So you can see them. Well, three days later, his associate showed up in my office with little vials of Sirium oxide, nanoparticles that had been doped and sure enough, they lit up just like I said, they would. And one thing led to another. We learned that these particles in some kinds of tumors go around the cells and in other kinds of tumors, they go into the cell. This again, proves that cancer is more than one disease. And the power of these doped nanoparticles is that you can find them and you can start to understand what they do. Richard Miles: 7:55 So does this aid then in the early detection, can you pick these up faster than other conventional means of detecting tumors? Michael Bass: 8:01 I can’t say that’s not something I’m familiar with. I just know that this kind of nanoparticle serves a special purpose in the radiation treatment. These particles may help the radiation destroy the cancer cells , or they may protect the normal cells that was not known which way it was until we had nanoparticles you could see. Richard Miles: 8:19 It’s made the treatment, I guess, more effective. Michael Bass: 8:21 You can locate them. And so you now know what to do, Richard Miles: 8:24 Right. So I’m guessing Michael, you must be an easy person to talk to because in both these stories, people have sought you out and asked you questions and you’ve given them pretty good responses. Michael Bass: 8:34 Well, as I say, all invention and all creativity starts with asking a question and I’ve been very fortunate to be around people who had the kinds of questions that I could answer. And usually together we would find the solutions. Richard Miles: 8:48 Hey , let’s talk about a third application that I heard you explained . And then after you explain , you said , well, none of you probably understood my explanation, but it has to do with fiber amplifier and its role in communications. Tell us what that means. Michael Bass: 9:01 Okay Currently, all the communications that you do, whether it’s by cell phone or by landline is carried at one point or another on a fiber optic system. Those fiber optics have almost reached their capacity to carry information between telephone calls, which are minimal, but computer to computer image downloads, graphic downloads, video downloads, are burdening the system to where it’s almost completely saturated. You can’t do much more. So in the future, what people are considering is sending different information streams on different patterns of light inside the fiber. Now, the problem is that every now and again, you have to amplify the light so it can continue traveling down the next fiber. And the problem was how do you make an amplifier that exactly reproduces that pattern of light from one fiber to the next? And it was answering that question that led to the invention of these kinds of amplifiers. There are fiber amplifiers that can precisely reproduce the pattern. Richard Miles: 10:05 And so what is this going to do for communications networks? Is this gonna make them faster, more powerful, all of the above? Michael Bass: 10:11 All of the above. When it’s introduced, then it hasn’t happened yet, but it will. It will add to the capacity of existing systems, very substantial amounts of ability to carry more information. Now, the issues that I just described of carrying more information is a rather remarkable thing. It’s not long ago before there were fiber optic communications. You didn’t bother. You didn’t even think about doing such a thing. Can I tell a little story? Richard Miles: 10:38 Yeah sure, absolutely. Michael Bass: 10:38 In 1980, two miracles took place. Now they say, what the heck is he talking about? Well, one miracle was that the United States hockey team beat the Soviet union in hockey. The second miracle was that those Olympics were transmitted on the first fiber optic communication system. Richard Miles: 10:56 Wow, I didn’t know that. Michael Bass: 10:58 Since then, there are now over 2 billion kilometers of fibers in the ground or under the oceans. And it’s insufficient. The demands that humanity has put on communicating has made those fibers, as I said before, almost completely in use. So more capacity as to come either by putting in more fibers, which is very expensive or finding out how to use the existing fibers more effectively, which is where our amplifier comes in. Richard Miles: 11:26 I see. Okay . We talk a lot on this show about unfortunately, good ideas don’t sell themselves. There is a process after which brilliant people like you think of a good idea before it gets into the hands of either individuals or companies or institutions to make use of it. And that generally known as commercialization and a lot of inventors try to set up their own companies, find investors. In other words, do that extra mile to get their idea out there. And others work hand in hand, particularly at universities with technology transfer offices to take care a lot of that heavy lifting you’ve I think I had experienced in sort of both models to some degree or another. Tell us what that’s like in terms of, okay, you’ve got an idea. You’ve tested it. You’ve proved it. It clearly has some sort of commercial application. What happens after that? Michael Bass: 12:12 In most cases, university, people like myself, work through the technology transfer office and that’s where much of my inventions have become commercial. One story though, that tells you how sometimes it happens in ways you can’t expect. We meaning myself and professor Chow. We had organized a group of students and ourselves to study how to most efficiently cool bars of diode lasers. Now, why are we interested in bars of diode lasers? Because they can produce a lot of power. The problem is you have to get the light from the diode laser bar out in some form that you can then use. So while looking at how you would cool them, they had the life flat on a surface, but the light was coming out parallel to the surface. So you couldn’t get at it. And what I came up with together with Louis Chow in this group, we invented a little prism that could be used to turn the light perpendicular to the surface, and then you have all of it and you can focus. It collimated do whatever you want. In the group of people. There was a young man named Dan Rini . Dan realized he was mostly interested in the cooling process, but as he finished his PhD, he had started his own company called Rini Technologies. It was growing in the UCF incubator and he took license to this invention of this little prison. He then licensed that licensed sub-licensed it to a much larger company that makes high power lasers. And apparently they are making these little prisms, including them in their devices, whatever the actual system is. And it’s been a very successful connection. The connection was that Dan knew about what we did. He was in the room when we described these prisms and he realized that it had potential. So he worked with the incubator, which is run in large part by the University Technology Transfer Office. And one thing led to another and they connected. Richard Miles: 14:13 When you’re working on solving a particular problem or coming up with a solution, how much, if at all, do you think about the potential market applications downstream? Are you just trying to solve that one problem? Like the colleague on the bridge on your way to lunch, or are you already starting to feel like, you know, I think this would be really good for this or that application Michael Bass: 14:32 It doesn’t work like that. The question that comes along is how do you solve a particular problem? Usually a technological or a scientific problem. And from it might come a device or an item or a technique that might be called invention. That could be patented. I’ve got 34 patents, but I have almost 200 refereed papers. And more than that in the way of invited talks and so on. So the patents grow out of things that you do, that you don’t plan to invent something at first, as one of the speakers yesterday said he loved to create and invent things. That’s great, but you don’t begin your work thinking of inventing something. You start to answer a question in the process of answering the question. You may come up with something that’s invented . Richard Miles: 15:18 Have there been any surprises in the technologies that you’ve developed in terms of it looks like it’s going to one market application and then ends up in a totally different place. Michael Bass: 15:27 I wish I could answer that one. It’s a tough question, but let me give you one example, okay. Let’s go back to the laser fiber optic treatment from gastrointestinal bleeding. One day, I got a call from the gastroenterologist who was using the stuff that I’d put together for him. He said , you got to come down here and witness this. Well, later that afternoon, a six or seven year old hemophiliac boy came in with his parents. He had lost one of his teeth and the bleeding hadn’t stopped no matter what anyone else did, conventionally, the bleeding didn’t stop. Well when we turned on the laser, it smelled terrible and the boy he didn’t want to do anymore. So we proceeded to give him a quarter. For each time we turned on the laser and $2 and 50 cents later, the bleeding was stopped and he went home and whatever life haemophiliacs would have, he could have, but at least he wasn’t going to die because he was bleeding when his tooth came out. So there are always other things that happen . Something invented for gastrointestinal bleeding was used for that. Other people have now used that same material, the same laser fiber optic system to treat hemorrhoids, to treat other, such things and using a fiber optic with laser light coming through. It is a nice way of putting a laser scalpel in the hands of a surgeon. So it has its expansion in ways that we didn’t think about, we didn’t plan those. Richard Miles: 16:50 Michael. Now we’re going to talk about you and you grew up in the Bronx, right ? Right. What was it like to live in New York city as a kid? Michael Bass: 16:56 It was actually wonderful. The ability to get on a subway and half an hour later, be at the Museum of Natural History or the Hayden Planetarium and do that from when I was maybe eight or nine years old with no thought about anything. It was a different time. In fact, when I tell my daughter in law about making such trips as a kid, she thinks my parents were abusing me by letting me do it on my own at that young age. But everyone did in New York City was a place with tremendous excitement in it about if you will, science, I went to Stuyvesant High School, which is an extraordinarily selective school. You must pass a certain exam with a grade higher than a certain amount. And then they might take you in or they might not, but you have to achieve that. And while at Stuyvesant, which was in Manhattan still is I went to an exhibit at the, a United Nations of atoms for peace, and I saw a cloud chamber in operation. And that was fascinating. And it made me think that I wanted to study physics living somewhere else. I might not have seen that cloud chamber. Okay. To give you an idea of what I enjoyed most about living in New York. Richard Miles: 18:03 So when you got into this high school, the high performing selective high school, right? You were saying that among the people, most surprised for your parents, because when you were younger, were you not a standout student? Or why were they surprised? Michael Bass: 18:15 Yeah, actually it was a little earlier when I was in elementary school through sixth grade, I was a very average, maybe even a little below average student because I was bored witless. I had no idea that it made any difference to my future. If my handwriting was perfect, man , I’m lefthanded . So that makes it even more strange. But when I was selected for what in New York is called or was called the rapid advance, where you went in to seventh and ninth grade, you skipped eighth grade, you took three years in two, and then you are a year younger than everyone, but you could do this. When I was selected for that, my parents were the most surprised people that I can imagine. They didn’t think that I had that kind of capability. And so that was kind of a kickstart to my future of using my mind and doing things like this, studying physics. Richard Miles: 19:01 Were either of your parents, scientists or researchers? Michael Bass: 19:04 No, neither was, I had an uncle who was a civil engineer and that’s about as close as we got, but no, my father and mother probably never went beyond high school. He was a realtor and she eventually, when I was going to high school, she started to work as a legal secretary. Richard Miles: 19:19 Any siblings that went into scientific fields? Michael Bass: 19:21 No, my sister finished high school and was glad to be done with education. She was nine years older than me and had different ideas in mind. Richard Miles: 19:30 So I’m sure Michael, at this point in your career, you are probably routinely asked to mentor, or you’re asked for advice from everyone from college students to grad students, to PhD candidates. I’m curious, what sort of questions do you get? Are they all highly specific? Do I go to this college or that college? Or do you get more life advice type of questions? What do I do with my life? What should I study? And then what are your, Michael Bass: 19:53 There are several, I’ll give you a story again. A couple of years back, a friend of mine was invited to speak at boys state in Tallahassee. And he asked me to come along because it was a long drive. He wanted someone with him and I would be able to speak a little bit. So when I given my little talk about the laser fiber optic GI bleeding treatment, because that’s something he could relate to easily, I finished and perhaps 200 of these boys came over and stood around. They asking questions about where they should go to school. What should they study? And reason I tell this story is that there’s a real need out there amongst the young people for guidance as to why would you want to go into technology? Well, the future is greater than the past. A small statistic. That makes a big difference of all the engineers and scientists in the world that ever existed more than 90% of them are alive today, which is why the squeal of technology’s speeding up today. Today we have telephones that we carry around in our pockets that have more computing capability than the whole world had in the 1960s. Now that’s a remarkable change in things and that kind of technological change is coming more and more quickly in all fields of endeavor. So when I do talk to students about that, I talk to them about the vast opportunities that exist. And I don’t try to aim them at a particular subject, whether it’s biology or physics or chemistry, or what have you, that’s their choice to make. But to realize that technology is a major, major player in the human experience is something I try to communicate. While at UCF, I created a course called the culture of science, which dealt with all the subjects of how science came about, how it affected the society around it and how society affected it. And it’s something that most students never hear about. And I did this course and I taught it for undergraduates. I taught it for honors classes. I taught it for graduate students, the responses. I wish I’d known that before I started. So it’s a very happy thing to have been able to do that for all those students, Richard Miles: 22:06 The Culture Science sounds like a great program for the Cade Museum. So we would love to have you maybe come up and give a talk about that, because that’s one of the things we try to do at the museum is trying to get people to think creatively about the tools of science, because to us , that is the predicate of invention, right? I mean, if data by itself, isn’t going to get you in invention. It has to be a way of thinking about the data that gets you to do something useful. Michael Bass: 22:30 Thank you. Yeah, that is effectively what the Culture of Science is. It’s the way of going from fundamental, basic subject to actually something, a thing that works and helps people and does something. And sometimes the thing that is developed gets used improperly, as we can all imagine things happening, but if you’re not aware of these issues, you’re not going to function well in our future society. Richard Miles: 22:55 Mike, I want to thank you very much for being on Radio Cade today. I feel bad. We only got through at most three of your 34 patents. So we’re going to have to do another six or seven installments of this show, but fascinating background, fascinating way of looking at your own profession. And thank you very much for joining us. Michael Bass: 23:10 It’s been my pleasure. I enjoyed it.
Poverty, race, and suspect classifications: The hosts begin conversations about how non-racial classifications or even classifications neutral on their face, can have negative impacts on discernible groups; how the courts have taken a hands-off approach; and why this approach deprives individuals in those groups of the equal protection of the laws.
The conversation in this episode explores how a transactional approach can affect outcomes. Pointing to court decisions and events in the news, the hosts raise questions concerning the values that decision makers bring to an issue. When transactions are made for the “greater good,” the truth is that the solution to the equation depends on who pays the consequences.
Apartment living is something we take for granted today, the option for those who can't afford or don't desire a private home. But how did this type of living situation become popular in the United States? In mid-19th century New York, people lived in townhouses, boarding houses or tenements. But far-thinking urban planners like Calvert Vaux touted a new form of housing popularized by the French -- the flat. Rutherford Stuyvesant, the wealthy heir of a couple notable American families, decided to build a version of this type of housing in the elite neighborhood of Gramercy Park. But how to attract people to a risky form of living? You get celebrities to move in! In particular, one very well known person -- Elizabeth Custer, the wife of General George Custer, newly widowed after her husband was killed in the Battle of Little Bighorn. A version of this podcast was originally presented on The Bowery Boys: New York City History podcast
SHOW NOTESTo open (1:45), Kelly and I discuss the song. We listened to three versions – on from TBLS Vol. 1-3 one from TBLS Vol. 9: Witmark Demos, and one from Folksinger’s Choice recorded in early 1962 with Cynthia Gooding. Daniel waxes poetic (3:00) about the chances, o the chances (or the desire for our brains to have order and meaning, especially after the black hole of Dylan & The Dead that the attendant’s at the Tower of Song would pair one of Dylan’s earliest songs — from Bonnie Beecher’s apartment during the holidays in 1961 — with his Nobel Prize in Literature speech delivered on June 4, 2017.The Nobel Prize in Literature 2016Kelly (4:40) loved the song and found herself singing it throughout the week. It’s simple, its short, the musicality prevails through the strong finger-picking. We try to determine (5:00) if we could hear the noted progression from his pre-New York self, his post-Columbia contract self, and his post-Bob Dylan self. Each version was unique in its own way — but none more proficient than another. (Once we flesh out this period, give The Minnesota Hotel Tapes a proper listen, and maybe raise some money to get that dang Karen Wallace tape, we’ll speak more on the subject.) Kelly’s favorite was the slower Witmark version, which had an extra verse (7:35):The weak and the strong and the rich and the poor Gathered there together, ain’t room for no more Crowded up above and crowded down below When someone disappears, you never even know.In David Pitacshe’s book, Song of the North Country: A Midwest Framework to the Songs of Bob Dylan, he notes (8:00) that New York is a town of “the kickers and the kicked.” “Dylan links the the kicked poor with the country — while wealthy urbanites like ‘Mr. Rockefeller’ and ‘Mr. Empire’ sit silently on their comfortable perches” (pg. 28). Not to disparage lovely Iowa, but I compare the excising of the above line with the omission of,There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me. The sign was painted, said ‘Private Property.’ But on the backside, it didn’t say nothing. This land was made for you and meandOne bright sunny morning in the shadow of the steeple, by the relief office I saw my people. As they stood hungry, I stood there wondering if God Blessed America for mefrom “This Land Is Your Land” (and is similar to what Dylan would encounter in a few months with "Talkin' John Birch"). Coca-Cola conceptions of America juxtaposed with a radical conception of freedom, liberty, private property. Why did Dylan keep “country” in on of the versions he sang? (He’d swap it with “city” in another.) Kelly felt it was “country” in the macro sense, hard times in America, while Daniel kept in the Midwest and imagined “New York Town” as somewhere the author was trying to conceptualize to fit into his ever-changing sense of scope. It’s the push and pull of being woke and contending with where you came from.In the end, what always gave this song oomph was its finale — When I leave New York, I’ll be standing on my feet. It just feels good to sing, good to dream on. So far, that and Dylan singing, Don’t ask me nothin about nothin / I just might tell you the truth in "Outlaw Blues" are two of Kelly’s favorite Dylan moments.History of New York (11:30)“that was a big theme this week, go figure.” Daniel wants the beginnings of New York. “What was once New York, er, is now New Amsterdam, or the other way around.” Henry Hudson, in 1609, “found” the island of Manhattan, also known as Manna-hatta that was occupied by Algonquins. Hudson went to the Dutch king guy and said there’s some cool stuff in Manhattan and the Dutch king, Schure, creates West India Trading Company — for beaver. In 1624, 30 Dutch families roll into Manhattan. In 1626, Dutch buy Manhattan. Urban legend of $24 is wrote. They paid (with the help of Mr. Minuit, in Dutch money (not shekels, gilders!) equivalent to about $1,000. We own Manhattan and the Lenape ain’t happy but they’re sellin their beaver, we’re sellin our beaver. There’s windmills. There’s 36 bars. Priorities. This guy Jonas Bronck shows up and buys some land. Wilhelm Kiff, becomes leader of New Amsterdam, he builds a wall to keep out the “savages” — this becomes Wall Street. Peter Stuyvesantwas peg-legged. People liked him: “Everything is cool. He’s not obsessed with building walls. Everything is going great. We’re drinkin, we’re smokin…” Hold up!,” Stuyvesant shouts from the back. He wanted to keep people out of New Amsterdam — not just drunks and criminals, but also Jews and Quakers… Everyone: “Guess what, while you weren’t paying attention over the last 40 years, people here aren’t really Dutch anymore. We’re kinda from everywhere.” Enter: King Charles II. III? II. One of the Charles’s sends a fleet and is, like, “Hey!” Not a single shot is fired as the English take control of New Amsterdam. Charles’ brother was the Duke of York. Yeah, you’re piecing this together!Brief aside on Cynthia Gooding (19:00)Bio of Cynthia Gooding! Kelly loved her voice and just wanted to know everything. She was born in Minnesota — “where Bob Dylan was born, see, I remembered!” — and moved to New York City — “see, it’s all relevant!” Elekra Records president found her a “folk party” (let that sink in) in Greenwich Village. She sings in Spanish, Italian and Turkish. She recorded “La Bamba” years before Ricky Vallance did. Folksinger’s Choice on WBAI in NYC. First interview with Bob Dylan. We listened to the final song of the program. She moved to Spain to record flamenco music. Worked for the National Endowment of the Humanities. Died in 1988 in NJ. We talk about her in relation to Alan Lomax. And excerpt her talking with Dylan at the end where she asks if he’ll wear the hat when he’s rich and famous. He says he’ll never rich and famous. Can’t ask for a better segue into the present.The Nobel Prize (23:45)It’s a lot to wrap your head around, especially if you haven’t been around for the entire ride. It was nice to hear more about his life(see Vol. 1 – No Direction Home for more), especially with the piano underneath. The connection of American songwriting with him —through Buddy Holly (who transferred his powers to him) onto Leadbelly and forward. From The New YorkerWhat he is saying is that he learned his consummate literary technique—how to wield metaphor and make simile sing, how to sew his songs with rhyme and spin a whole uncanny scene from a perfectly worded image—from the great vernacular tradition of American songwriting, a vast library stored not on shelves but in minds and chord-picking fingers.Dylan rhapsodizing (27:45) was one of the highlights for Daniel. Then… the book report (29:30)! Moby-Dick, All Quiet on the Western Front, and The Odyssey. Heylin notes, Dylan “saw himself as part of this process — as an interpreter of a hoary ol’ tradition of self-expression, not as an originator of new forms of song”(Bob Dylan: The Recording Sessions 1961-1994, pg.2). While we aren’t under any kind of microscope that Dylan is under, we are all products of our time and culture and the myth of Dylan’s original sin is something that we also carry around as distraction from the truth that the love we project, the words we write, the proclamations we attest to are just sirens of our shared history writ large. Better to own that than try to explain your originality.So what about all this plagiarizing? (32:00) Noisey’s headline: TFW the book report is due tomorrow morning and it’s midnight already. Importantly, they note: “Dylan began (and will likely end) his career recording covers before he decided to toss Biblical archetypes and pop-culture references together and set them to electric folk-rock, so he’s a synthesist by nature.” Slate was out for blood but their interviews with academics was gold:Longtime Dylan fan and George Washington University English professor Dan Moshenberg told me no alarm bells went off for him while reviewing the passages. Gwynn Dujardin, an English professor from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, had more issues with Dylan’s approach, noting the irony that “Dylan is cribbing [from] a contemporary publication that is under copyright instead of from Moby-Dick itself, which is in the public domain.” A final reviewer, Juan Martinez, a literature professor at Northwestern University, said, “If Dylan was in my class and he submitted an essay with these plagiarized bits, I’d fail him.But it’s not up to them.As The New Yorker put it, after Dylan claims to have read Don Quixote and A Tale of Two Cities in grammar school, “Welcome to Dylan Self-Mythologizing 101.” To close with Dylan’s speech (34:00):That’s what songs are too. Our songs are alive in the land of the living. But songs are unlike literature. They’re meant to be sung, not read. The words in Shakespeare’s plays were meant to be acted on the stage. Just as lyrics in songs are meant to be sung, not read on a page. And I hope some of you get the chance to listen to these lyrics the way they were intended to be heard: in concert or on record or however people are listening to songs these days. I return once again to Homer, who says, “Sing in me, oh Muse, and through me tell the story.Dylan will die one day but these songs will live on. Who hasn’t gone for lists of Nobel, Man Booker, National Book Award, Pulitzer Prize winners to pick the next book, play, poem? Dylan will be unique on this hypothetical list for some hypothetical kid discovering him a hundred years from now. Hopefully he isn’t asking, “What’s music?” or lamenting that guitars don’t work well under water, but if there is a world then, that person will be stumbling upon a treasure trove of people — like us, in our so-far small way — who devote time and resources to this artist.All of that and Kelly kept replaying the ending to Battletar Galactica. Typical! Then Daniel got all personal and macro about life beyond the podcast… though Kelly got stoked about a future space episode! (38:00)THE EPISODE’S BOOKLET & PLAYLISTRECOMMENDATIONSRecommendations: Kelly (41:20). DMX. Wu-Tang. Not Smashing Pumpkins(though she thinks she invented the phrase “Chicago grunge”) and the podcast Throwing Shade.Daniel (43:20): our Spotify playlist, Spotify’s Summer Rewind, and Titus Andronicus’ 2010 album, The Monitor (and an easter egg on the episode’s excerpt of “The Battle of Hampton Roads”).ENDINGS (46:00)I surprised Kelly with two drawings from random.org (who should just sponsor us at this point). First, we pick 3 numbers, 1 through 98, for Dylan’s Theme Time Radio Hour, our next in The Supplemental Series. Kelly selected three incorrect numbers but chose “Dreams.”Then, our OG list (49:30). 1 out of 527.Kelly guessed 493. It was 356.Could have been "You're Gonna Quit Me" but is "Ring Them Bells" from 1989's Oh, Mercy.Follow us wherever you listen to podcasts.
