In Step 7: Remnant, we meet Esther, a young Jewish exile who becomes the queen of Persia. But soon after she becomes queen, a villain named Haman plots to annihilate all the Jews in Persia. Esther, risking her life, enters the king's presence un-summoned and soon pleads for the salvation of her people. With courage and strategy, Esther unveils Haman's evil plan, leading to his downfall and the issuance of a new decree allowing the Jews to defend themselves. On the designated day, the Jews overcome their enemies, avoiding a holocaust.Suggested Readings:2 Chronicles 36:22-23Esther 3:1-15Esther 4:1-17Episode Highlights:The return of Jewish exiles to Jerusalem in three distinct wavesEsther's rise to become Queen of PersiaHaman's plot to destroy the Jewish peopleEsther's courageous intervention to save her peopleGod's providential care in preserving His chosen peopleSupport the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

In this session, we explore the historical account of the division of the Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judah. We witness the consequences of the rebellion and sin of both kingdoms, leading to their ultimate downfall at the hands of foreign empires. Despite warnings from prophets, the Kingdom of Israel falls to the Assyrian Empire in 722 BC, and later the Kingdom of Judah suffers the same fate at the hands of the Babylonian Empire. However, amidst the devastation, God promises a future restoration and introduces the New Covenant, offering forgiveness and a transformation from within.Suggested Reading:1 Kings 12:25-33Jeremiah 29:4-14Jeremiah 31:31-37Episode HighlightsThe split of the united kingdom after Solomon's deathThe northern kingdom's descent into idolatryThe fall of Israel to Assyria (722 BC)Judah's similar path to destructionGod's promise of the New Covenant through JeremiahSupport the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

Hannes Hagstrom joins Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green to discuss recent research panelists have conducted. This content-dense conversation focuses initially on the impact of VCTE and other forms of in-office monitoring and branches out from there.00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 5 Episode 9Opening comments from the panel, including brief quotes taken directly from the episode.00:02:04 - Introduction and groundbreakerEach panelist shares one piece of good news from the previous week. 00:06:02 - Introducing TopicRoger invites panelists to share research they either participated in over the past couple of months or found particularly important. 00:06:57 - VCTE scores predict liver-related events as well as or better than biopsyHannes discusses a recent paper in which he participated (Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography Scores to Predict Liver-Related Events in Steatotic Liver Disease; H. Lin et al., JAMA Online, 21MAR 2024.) This paper suggests that, in Hannes's words, "[VCTE] may be enough if you want to predict the risk of outcomes." 00:09:41 - The value of repeat measures Panelists comment on the value and discrete benefits of taking frequent repeat measures for in-office scanning tests.00:12:15 Changing gluten vs. reducing sugar: impact for patientsLouise mentions a recent study by Armandi et al. looking at the impact of changing gluten content on MASLD. The group discusses the benefits of offering patients multiple behavioral options. 00:20:33 Impact of increased access to in-office scanningRoger asks whether an increased focus on overall in-office scanning may speed the replacement of biopsy with scan results in clinical trials, at least in the U.S. Panelists describe other possible benefits.00:23:48 LiverAIMJörn discusses the LiverAIM consortium and its goal to improve that testing improves outcomes. The group asks whether prognostic value can provide a rationale for broader screening. Jörn suggests that LiverAIM might answer some of these questions. 00:28:56 Primary care as triageRoger focuses the discussion on how various healthcare systems will manage the tsunami of patients likely to come to physicians' offices once a drug is available and patients are aware. Hannes describes a role for primary care that Roger describes as "triage." 00:31:05 Is VCTE a simple enough solution?Roger asks whether VCTE can become the easy-to-interpret test that motivates primary care to engage. Jörn suggests we will need a simpler, potentially automated algorithm, possibly something like the Fibrotic NASH Index ("FIB-4 on steroids"). 00:37:30 Predictive biomarkers and commercial successHannes notes that we will need a way to determine whether a given drug works for a particular patient. To Jörn, this raises the general question of predictive biomarkers for individual drugs or drug classes., which the group agrees will take years to sort out.00:41:19 Diet and exerciseLouise suggests that the label statement that Rezdiffra is adjunctive to diet and exercise will require prescribers to monitor the efficacy of lifestyle intervention. Jörn and Roger note that this is standard in the U.S. language and requires little real monitoring. 00:44:20 - Closing questionRoger asks each panelist what we might achieve over the next two years to improve our ability to get the right patients to therapy.00:49:15 - Question of the WeekThe question asks what role you envision office scanning techniques like VCTE and 3D ultrasound playing in the future of patient screening and the development of clinical care pathways compared to computed tests.00:50:04 - Business reportThis week's news on audience metrics, our upcoming 4th anniversary and this week's Vault conversation.

India's energy transition currently comprises a set of ambitious targets, the pathway for which is yet to be designed.  While at the Central level, there are a variety of policies, the real challenge lies in their execution. And at the execution level there are at least 28 different clogs to be taken care of.  States will need to play a larger role if India has to effectively meet its energy transition goals while being in sync with economic growth. Coal rich states face the challenge of transitioning away from an existing socio-economic framework built over fossil fuels. Non coal ones need to plan for a greener future. And both sets need to have an economic adaptation plan in place for future climate risks.  To unfold this complexity of India's energy transition, we talked with Ann Josey, Fellow at Prayas, and Rohit Chandra, Assistant Professor at IIT Delhi. Both Ann and Rohit study different aspects of Indian policymaking with focus on the energy sector and government institutions -  both at the Central and State level.

In this episode, you will learn how to: Analyze and prioritize your to-do lists and daily schedule for maximum impact Say no to the things that do not serve you and create space for the things that do Audit your calendar Increase productivity so you can complete the RIGHT things Do you find yourself running out of time at the end of the day for the things you want to accomplish?  We are busier than ever, but time is the great equalizer. Think about it! You have the same hours in the day as any number of successful people-- so let's dial in how we can make the most of it!  Family. Friends. Our phones. Social Media. Work obligations…the list can go on and on with all the good things we fill our time with but also, the things that drain us of our energy and resources, leaving us depleted and unable to focus on what truly matters to us!  Let's evaluate all the things on our plate and decide which things can stay and what stories, feelings, or tasks need to be eliminated. Here is the hard truth: if you want success in any area of your life, you need to say NO to many, many things. The success you have on any given thing is directly connected to how tight your focus is. By saying YES to one thing, you have to say NO to many others.  Today, I will be giving tips and tricks to regaining power over your schedule (and ultimately your life!) by creating the Yes/No list to establish clear boundaries on what will move us forward and what is holding us back from truly living the lives that we dream of!  Action Steps: Get out a piece of paper. Fold it vertically, and on one side write YES and on the other side, NO. (15:58)  Start with the things that you are saying YES to. It can be an action, a story you tell yourself, where you spend your time, a feeling or emotion….do these things currently serve you and your best interests? If not, shift it over to your NO list! What are you saying NO to? Be intentional!   Open your calendar, look at what you had on your schedule a week back and look a week ahead. What is on there that should not be and what is missing that should be there? Show me your calendar (and your bank account) and I will show you your priorities. Take an honest look at where your time is going!!! If something is truly important to you, you schedule and make time for it. It will show up on your calendar if it REALLY matters! What is on there out of obligation or habit? Change accordingly!   Suggested Reading:  The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results (14:15) Gary Keller https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1885167776/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=thesparknow20-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1885167776&linkId=09403bdab13aee213572934ae4a080f9   Millionaire Success Habits: The Gateway to Wealth and Prosperity (20:33) Dean Graziosi https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401956874/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=thesparknow20-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=1401956874&linkId=f6cf44b5298ae1060b1f7e0338c989fd

Non-timber forest produce (NTFP) are an important source of livelihood for India's forest dwelling communities. The collection and trade of these produce is regulated by a number of different national level schemes and policies, implemented variously by different states. At the same time, the Community Forest Resource Rights (CFRR) provision of the Forest Rights Act (FRA) holds great potential for empowering communities to carry out ecologically and financially sustainable NTFP harvesting and trade. In this episode, Rohan Pai talks to Ananya Rao about her experiences from Chhattisgarh around NTFP policies in action and the benefits of integrating NTFP trade with CFRR-based governance.Ananya Rao is a researcher at Ashoka Trust for Ecology and the Environment (ATREE). For the past year, she has been working on the implementation of CFRR in Chattisgarh's Bastar District.Suggested Readings:1.

Barry talks about the experience of faith, anomalies, and doubt. How does one come to faith and how does one maintain it? What types of situations tempt one to give it up? There are a lot of reasons not to have faith, and that is why faith is so important.       Suggested Reading: […]

This week, we sit down with Dr. Lionel Yaceczko to discuss his new book on the fourth century Roman grammarian, Ausonius of Bordeaux.  In looking at his life, we dive deeper into various aspects of classical education.  As Ausonius lived through an important period of religious, political, and cultural change, considering his life also affords us the opportunity to think about how the advent of Christianity affected (and continues to affect) classical education.   With Christmas fast approaching, perhaps this discussion may serve to remind us that teaching is pointing and that its ultimate purpose is to point us to the Teacher.   Show Highlights  Who is Ausonius and why should educators study him?  The life and times of a Roman teacher, beaurocrat, and Christian convert  What Ausonius's life can teach about classical education  What is a Quaestor?  What is a grammaticus? A rhetor? Education in Late Antiquity  The most egalitarian form of elitism? How the liberal arts can liberate  The importance of memorization in education  How the advent of Christianity changed classical education  A new canon for education: introducing Sacred Scripture to the liberal arts  May I be so bold? Rhetoric and persuasion in Late Antiquity What is a litterator? On the stages of education before the grammaticus: Abecedarium, elementa, and the road to the masterpieces On the importance of study for teachers, and teaching for researchers  Augustine and the vir perfectus as vir sapiens in the service of the Word From philologoi to theologoi: how Revelation changes everything Suggested Reading  Ausonius Grammaticus: The Christening of Philology in the Late Roman West by Lionel Yaceczko  Power and Persuasion in Late Antiquity: Towards a Christian Empire by Peter Brown The World of Late Antiquity by Peter Brown The Regensburg Address by Pope Benedict XVI Also on the Forum Defining the Liberal Arts  What's in a Name?

Like a tree, whose roots are firmly planted in the ground and whose branches reach toward the sky above, education at The Heights is at once traditional and forward looking. While drawing liberally from the western canon and “the best that has been thought and said,” to borrow Matthew Arnold's phrase, a Heights education is nevertheless at home in the modern world.  Neither the buried archives of special collections, nor the high-rising offices of enterprising tech start-ups are uncharted waters for Heights alumni.  Because of the double-nature of our approach to education, the question of how The Heights fits into the classical school movement produces an interesting and important conversation. To help us think through the ways in which The Heights is in dialogue with both the classical and contemporary worlds, we welcome Head of Upper School, Michael Moynihan, back to HeightsCast. With over twenty-five years of experience as a teacher, Michael offers us a nuanced discussion of: How a traditional approach to education can embrace the advances of modernity without losing its roots.   The ways in which modernity, properly contextualized, can help correct certain biases latent in classical thought.  The role of professional preparation in a liberal arts education. Whether or not one's work is clearly connected to the classical ideal of contemplation, the goal of education converges in the heart of a man who knows he is a son of God; and who, like the Son of God, sanctifies his ordinary work. Show Highlights  Is the Heights a classical school?  How does the Heights fit into the classical school movement?  The role of professor John Dewey in progressive educational trends.  How Dorothy Sayers' speech on “The Lost Tools of Learning” sparked a revival in traditional education.  Ought from an is? How our anthropology informs our education The baby in the bathwater: some positives of mainstream education today viz. the acquisition of professional skills. How modern thought corrects some shortcomings of the classical tradition. The vision of St. Josemaria and what this means for education at The Heights. How education can help students to passionately love the world. Sanctification of ordinary work and divine filiation.  Work as a sharing in the home of Nazareth. Is professional work a distraction from contemplation?  The teaching vocation  Suggested Reading  The Lost Tools of Learning by Dorothy Sayers  Passionately Loving the World by St. Josemaria Escriva

In certain school systems, it is perhaps more common to find students dissecting samples and diagraming abstractions. The boys in the Lower School at The Heights, however, begin their scientific formation not in a lab, among dead specimens, but in nature, among living creatures. Their text book is not full of paper, but of paper's source, trees; for their primary text is the book of nature itself.  In this week's episode, Eric Heil takes us outdoors--so to speak--for a discussion of natural history. With over fourteen years of experience teaching at The Heights, in addition to having spent time as a researcher both for at the Bronx Zoo and the Smithsonian's National Zoological Park, Eric offers us thoughts both practical and lofty.  First, Eric explains what natural history is and how it differs from other ways of approaching science at the elementary level. Then, he considers what a typical natural history lesson might look like. Next, Eric expounds the elements of nature journaling, a typical exercise for a natural history class. In particular, he explains John Muir Laws' three step framework for nature journaling:  Explain what you see.  Expound on what the observed reality makes you think of.  Wonder about what you do not yet know.  Lastly, the discussion takes a turn for the transcendental, as Eric considers some of the existential fruits of natural history.   Beyond books and diagrams, and indeed even the boy's own words and sketches, the study of natural history draws students into that mystery which moves those animals they have found. Perhaps this is the reason why natural history has been deemed the most important subject taught in the Valley: the silence that it instills is the beginning of a prayer; indeed, the greatest prayer, which is gratitude.   Show Highlights What is natural history and why does it matter?  Campus as the textbook itself How is a natural history class different from other ways of teaching science at the elementary level?  Jean-Henri Fabre and the importance of direct observation The parts of a typical natural history lesson What is a nature journal and how do you make one? The benefits of studying natural history  How natural history integrates into an education for realism.  Existential goods of natural history  Why is natural history the most important subject taught in the Lower School?

Ray Bradbury once remarked that, to destroy a culture, burning books is not necessary; all that is needed is to convince people to stop reading them. And, of course, the easiest way to sway people from reading is to keep them illiterate. Indeed, this is also the best way to rob them of their liberty.  Frederick Doublas once remarked that “once you learn to read you will forever be free.”  Now, it may be true that more people are literate today than ever before. Some statistics indicate that around eighty-six percent of adults in the world can read and write at a basic level. Compare this statistic to data from the early nineteenth century, when only twelve percent of people in the world could read, and there is indeed much to celebrate.  But, what about other forms of literacy? Are people more culturally literate now? Can they read deeply, for understanding and not merely for a surface-level comprehension? What does it even mean to be literate? As educators--and particularly educators drawing from and adding to the liberal arts tradition--it is paramount that we consider such questions. Here to talk about reading and its many forms is Dr. Lionel Yaceczko, lover of languages and teacher of Classics at The Heights School. In this episode, Dr. Yaceczko sits down for a discussion of Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book. Using Adler's book as a springboard, we first run through the three kinds of reading, specified by the end to which they aim:  Reading for information  Reading for entertainment  Reading for understanding Second, Dr. Yaceczko helps us tackle what he calls the perennial problems that can make reading difficult, namely vocabulary and syntax, as well as some of the stumbling blocks that are particular to contemporary readers.  Third, we consider Adler's four levels of reading: Elementary  Inspectional Analytical  Syntopical In particular, Dr. Yaceczko delves into the third level of reading--analytical--the preparation for which Adler argues ought to be the goal of a liberal arts education at the secondary school level.  To be sure, the development of the capacity for analytical reading is no small task, but it is well worth the effort; for the difficulty of the endeavor comes from the loftiness of the goal. Despite the ardor of the task, rest assured: with patience our sons--and ourselves--may little-by-little grow into better readers. After all, the attainment of any goal, no matter how lofty, begins with small steps; it is from the valley that one ascends to the heights.  Show Highlights  What is the most controversial thing we teach at The Heights?  How Classics are the most egalitarian form of elitism What is literacy?  The three kinds of reading and what this means for literacy  Why is reading great books so difficult? Two perennial problems for readers Adler's four levels of reading  Syntopical and Collocative reading  What Analytical reading is and why liberal arts high schools should foster it  How reading and writing inform each other  What makes a work of literature beautiful? Can true beauty be popularized?

The International Energy Agency estimates that over the period to 2040, an estimated 270 million people are likely to be added to India's urban population. How fast India urbanises and industrialises over the coming decades, and the policies that governs these processes will be of crucial significance for countries' energy future and global climate mitigation efforts. To understand the implications of India's current and future urbanization, we interviewed Siddharth Singh, co-lead author of India Energy Outlook 2021, published by the International Energy Agency.

In this episode, the gang collaborates with Breht O'Shea of RevLeft Radio on an analysis of the Marxist understanding of history, how we as human beings relate to history, and how we can see through the veil of bourgeois historiography. It is my personal favorite episode we ever recorded, and it is the one people have most requested that we re-upload. It was taken down with good reason, but there are good reasons for it to come back. It is certainly one of the most positive and affirming episodes we ever made, and I feel like people need that right now.   If you have any questions or comments, DM Jeremy at facebook.com/mambono17 or Instagram @mambono17 or email aterribleinfluence@gmail.com. All episodes prior to episode 4 can be found on YouTube, so go check that out as well!   Suggested Reading and Resources:  I don't have a way to reach out to Hayder to ask him about his sources, and unfortunately, I have forgotten a lot of the works I was referencing, but I will do my best to reconstruct what I can recall.   Silencing the Past - Michel-Rolphe Trouillot Caliban and the Witch - Silvia Federici Chulmun Neolithic Inensification, Asian Perspectives, Spring 2012 - Sook-Chung Shin, Song-Nai Rhee, and C.

Youth Librarian Elissa Zimmer joins us to talk about the unique role librarians can play when it comes to connecting young patrons and students to reading material that will expand their perspectives, help them feel seen, help them process their emotions, and gain a better understanding of the world and different experiences. That being said, there have been plenty of books--particularly the classics--that are often celebrated for doing all of those aforementioned things, but have also been challenged or banned inside of public schools and across community districts because of disputes with some of the contents, characters, or subject matter. That's why the American Library Association started Banned Books Week. What is Banned Books? You'll have to listen to our episode to hear more.  __ Discussed in this episode: Suggested Reading by Dave Connis The Awakening by Kate Chopin Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut The 100 Most Challenged or Banned Books by decade __ And if you are interested in a book bundle for kids, call us at 248-546-2504, or email: info@ferndalepubliclibrary.org

Teri Dosher owns and operates The Willow Tree Coffeehouse & Music Venue in Johnson City, TN, which is a magical little place that has quickly become a must play for many amazing musicians from near and far.  On today's episode, Teri discusses what led her to "just go for it" and open the business with the encouragement of her daughter. She tells the incredible story of how her dream location became available the day after she decided it would be the perfect spot, and how she's more scared of this decision now, 5 years later, than she was in the beginning. Teri describes what it was like to leave her secure teaching job at the time, and what it's like for her now, when business has been up and down, and she's watching several of her friends enter in to "secure" retirement plans while she has none.  She tells the fascinating story of how her team learned to make coffee from watching Youtube videos and how they built their incredible "comfort" food menu one item at a time, as well as how she has developed her process of paying artists fairly without going completely broke. She talks about the interesting story of where the name of the coffee shop came from and how they've weathered the addition of competitive coffee shops in their town. Teri tells Anna + Katie about the highs and lows that have come with owning her business and some of the things that have made it most worthwhile for her over the years. She discusses the need for gratitude in every circumstance and how she pushes past the different fears that creep into her mind from time to time. Teri is a wealth of wisdom and we think you're really going to love this talk! Connect with Teri online at www.thewillowtreejc.com or experience The Willow Tree for yourself at 216 E.

This free online lecture is part of the Mythgard Academy Guest Lecture Series. Both mythical studies and the study of fairy-tales took on new importance during the early nineteenth century, along with the entirely new development of comparative philology. Jacob Grimm was in all three cases the pivotal figure. The relationship between them continued to fascinate both scholars and creative writers, including Andrew Lang, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and their successors. This lecture will show how scholarly research acted as a direct stimulus for many creative writers.   Recordings from Thursday, Sept. 10 Watch: Video Listen: Audio Suggested Reading C.S.

This free online lecture is part of the Mythgard Academy Guest Lecture Series. [caption id="attachment_1225" align="alignleft" width="180"] Dr. Amy H. Sturgis[/caption] What images come to mind when you think of Star Wars? Luke Skywalker watching the twin suns set on Tatooine? Princess Leia with a blaster in her hand and buns on her head? The glow of a lightsaber in the darkness? These visuals convey volumes, and they spring in part from a common origin. One of the keys to the worldwide success of Star Wars is that the saga draws from a variety of global sources, both classical and contemporary. Join Dr. Amy H. Sturgis as she discusses one particular tradition that has left its indelible imprint on the Star Wars franchise. How did pulp science fiction evolve? What is the relationship between this genre and the Western? And how can tracing the pulp ancestry of Star Wars give us new insights on key moments and messages across the Star Wars canon — and quite possibly shed light on the forthcoming film The Force Awakens? Star Wars fans and newbies alike are welcome!   Recordings from Saturday, Aug. 15, 2015 Watch: Video Listen: Audio Suggested Reading: Star Wars movies (episodes I – VI) The Force of Star Wars Be sure to check out Dr. Sturgis' fall class for the Mythgard Institute, The Force of Star Wars: Examining the Epic.
