Zwischen Fronten und Reformen in Richtung EU - Über das, was die Ukraine in Gesetzen und Verfassung ändern muss, welche die größten Hürden dabei sind, darüber spricht Phoenix-Hauptstadtkorrespondent mit der Politikwissenschaftlerin Susan Stewart (SWP)

An international group of astronomers has joined efforts seeking to establish a separate time zone for the moon.一个国际天文学家小组正在联合努力，试图为月球建立一个独立的时区。The French-based International Astronomical Union (IAU) recently approved a resolution on the matter during the group's General Assembly meeting in Cape Town, South Africa.位于法国的国际天文学联合会（IAU）最近在南非开普敦举行的大会上批准了一项关于此事的决议。The resolution calls on space organizations around the world to cooperate on establishing a standard clock for the moon.该决议呼吁世界各地的航天机构合作建立一个月球标准时钟。The moon's orbital movements around Earth make one day on the lunar surface equal to 29.5 Earth days. And because the moon has less gravity compared to Earth, time moves slightly faster there, about 58.7 microseconds quicker each day.月球绕地球的轨道运动使得月球表面的一天等于地球上的29.5天。而且由于月球的重力比地球小，时间在那里移动得稍快，每天约快58.7微秒。Susan Stewart is an astronomer with the U.S. Naval Observatory. She helped create the resolution at the IAU conference. Stewart told The Associated Press the aim of the measure is quite simple: “To work together to establish (a) standard time.”苏珊·斯图尔特是美国海军天文台的天文学家。她在国际天文学联合会会议上帮助制定了这项决议。斯图尔特告诉美联社，这项措施的目标非常简单：“共同努力建立一个标准时间。”Currently, moon operations run on the time of the country that is launching spacecraft. But supporters of creating a separate time zone say this method will have to change; more countries and private space companies are starting to launch their own moon missions.目前，月球上的操作是根据发射航天器的国家的时间进行的。但支持建立独立时区的人士表示，这种方法必须改变；越来越多的国家和私营航天公司开始发射他们自己的月球任务。Last year, the European Space Agency (ESA) pushed for the creation of a lunar clock. And earlier this year, the White House directed the U.S. space agency NASA and other agencies to come up with a timekeeping plan for the moon by the end of 2026.去年，欧洲航天局（ESA）推动建立一个月球时钟。今年早些时候，白宫指示美国航天局（NASA）及其他机构在2026年底前制定一个月球时间计时计划。ESA noted communication and navigation systems built for the moon will perform much better if they use “the same timescale.” In addition, a separate time zone will support “the many other crewed and uncrewed missions” planned for the future, ESA said.欧洲航天局指出，为月球建立的通信和导航系统如果使用“相同的时间尺度”，将表现得更好。此外，一个独立的时区将支持未来计划的“许多载人和无人任务”。In the past, NASA also considered establishing a separate time zone for the International Space Station (ISS). But the agency decided against it. Instead, the ISS runs on Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC, which is based on time kept by atomic clocks. NASA officials say this system helps ease the time difference between NASA and the Canadian Space Agency, as well as other space partners in Russia, Japan and Europe.过去，NASA也曾考虑为国际空间站（ISS）建立一个独立的时区。但该机构最终决定不这样做。相反，国际空间站采用协调世界时（UTC），该时间基于原子钟保持的时间。NASA官员表示，这一系统有助于缓解NASA与加拿大航天局以及俄罗斯、日本和欧洲其他航天合作伙伴之间的时差问题。The international team looking at establishing a lunar time zone has said it is still deciding whether a single organization should be chosen to set and keep time on the moon.负责研究建立月球时区的国际团队表示，他们仍在决定是否应选择一个单一的组织来设定和维护月球上的时间。Bijunath Patla is a physicist at the U.S. Commerce Department's National Institute of Standards and Technology. He told the AP that astronomers are still deciding on how a lunar clock would work. Patla said, “I think the community has realized that this needs to be done. And this is the beginning.”比久纳斯·帕特拉是美国商务部国家标准与技术研究院的物理学家。他告诉美联社，天文学家们仍在决定月球时钟的工作方式。帕特拉说：“我认为科学界已经意识到这是必须要做的事情。而这只是个开始。”

Susan Stewart, owner of Strapping Store, with three locations, recently opened Licked, an ice cream shop across from her Oak Park location of Strapping Store, offering a variety of ice cream flavors at good prices.On this week's episode, Stewart shares what made her take the leap to opening an ice cream shop, how it fits in the vibrant Oak Park neighborhood, and why you should visit the area, shop in the local boutiques, eat at the local restaurants and, of course, grab a scoop of ice cream.

Vier Tage nach dem Einmarsch Russlands im Februar 2022 hat die Ukraine einen Antrag auf EU-Mitgliedschaft gestellt. Die Beitrittsverhandlungen sollen demnächst beginnen. Wie setzt die Ukraine mitten im Krieg notwendige Reformen um und wie geht der Wiederaufbau voran? Darüber spricht Susan Stewart mit Dominik Schottner.

Uh oh. AI is giving music consumers the apps to make their own tunes—or at least make ABBA sing like chipmunks. In today's show, Charlie rides a rollercoaster of emotions. He loves to play with the new tech but has the blues over the effortless nature of modern music-making tools. With a few text prompts, anyone can create a hooky pop song in 60 seconds—easy as ordering a latte—you don't even have to spell Tayler Swift right, let alone know music theory. Contributing to today's episode are music educators Dr. Matthew White, Associate Professor and Chair of Jazz Studies at the University of South Carolina, and Thavius Beck, Assistant Professor in Electronic Production and Design at Berklee College of Music. They reveal how musical academia has evolved to encompass classical/jazz proficiency and digital innovation. However, what constitutes essential music literacy is still being debated. Susan Stewart from the Recording Academy also tells us if AI-composed music gets to sit with the cool kids at the Grammys. Spoiler alert: there's a human dress code. Special musical guest, bassist, and singer/songwriter Scott Mulvahill exemplifies the merger of old and new schools, blending his mastery of upright bass and songwriting with cutting-edge technology. In summary, this episode challenges listeners to consider the implications of some mind-blowing technological advancements for both current and future musicians and music consumers who increasingly engage in creating music themselves. Charlie weaves engaging discussions with poignant "in-the-studio" examples and invites us to reassess the essence of musical talent, imagination, and creativity in the digital age. The big, meaningful question? Does easy access to making music enhance or undermine the true art of music and the culture that loves and supports it? Get comfortable, adjust your headphones, and let's decode whether music's new production tech leads to a satisfying crescendo or a cacophonous catastrophe. “Music and Meaning” is a production of Christianity Today Executive Produced by Erik Petrik and Matt Stevens Produced and Written by Charlie Peacock and Mike Cosper Associate Produced by Raed Gilliam Mixed by TJ Hester Original Music by Charlie Peacock  Additional studio and remote engineering by Bridget Ashworth Show theme, “Sound of the Room,” composed by Charlie Peacock, featuring bassist John Patitucci Information on Charlie's latest books and music, including his own "drag and drop" producer sample pack, is available at charliepeacock.com Special guests on this episode: Dr. Matthew White, Associate Professor and Chair of Jazz Studies, the University of South Carolina; Thavius Beck, Assistant Professor in Electronic Production and Design at Berklee College of Music; Susan Stewart, Sr. Managing Director of the Songwriters & Composers Wing for the Recording Academy; and musical guest, bassist and singer/songwriter, Scott Mulvahill.

What does make-up tell us about different social standings through time? And what were the effects of Queen Elizabeth's lead-based face powders?

Ein Jahr nach dem russischen Angriff auf die Ukraine ist kein Ende des Krieges in Sicht. Was bedeutet das für die Menschen in der Ukraine und in Russland? Vor welchen wirtschaftlichen und politischen Herausforderungen stehen beide Länder? Darüber diskutieren Susan Stewart und Janis Kluge mit Dominik Schottner.

How have ruins become so valued in Western culture and so central to our art and literature? Covering a vast chronological and geographical range, from ancient Egyptian inscriptions to twentieth-century memorials, Susan Stewart seeks to answer this question as she traces the appeal of ruins and ruins images, and the lessons that writers and artists have drawn from their haunting forms. Stewart takes us on a sweeping journey through founding legends of broken covenants and original sin, the Christian appropriation of the classical past, and images of decay in early modern allegory. Stewart looks in depth at the works of Goethe, Piranesi, Blake, and Wordsworth, each of whom found in ruins a means of reinventing his art. Lively and engaging, The Ruins Lesson: Meaning and Material in Western Culture (U Chicago Press, 2020) ultimately asks what can resist ruination--and finds in the self-transforming, ever-fleeting practices of language and thought a clue to what might truly endure. John Yargo holds a Ph.D. in English from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His specializations are early modern literature, the environmental humanities, and critical race studies. His dissertation explores early modern representations of environmental catastrophe, including The Tempest, Oroonoko, and the poetry of Milton. He has published in Studies in Philology, The Journal for Early Modern Cultural Studies, and Shakespeare Studies. Learn more about your ad choices.

Joyce Becker, who created the incredibly successful Soap Opera Festivals, will join me live in The Locher Room to look back at the over 2,000 festivals she hosted with 800 of your favorite daytime television stars.Joyce launched Soap Opera Festivals on February 20, 1977, at a hotel luncheon in New Haven, CT with the Jacquie Courtney who played Pat Kendell on One Life to Live, Marie Masters who played Susan Stewart on As the World Turns, Michael Levin who played Jack Fenelli on Ryan's Hope and the legendary Ruth Warrick who played Phoebe Tyler on All My Children. Joyce and her husband Allan Sugarman would come to host many daytime actors at their home from day one and befriend many of those 800 who appeared at their festivals.Joyce wanted to be an actress, but her mother had other plans. Her mom wanted her to be a teacher. She became the editor of her high school newspaper and did an interview with a young singer from the Bronx by the name of Bobby Darin. Bobby basically became a member of my family and he, in turn, introduced her to a young singer by the name of Connie Francis who hired her as her secretary. During Joyce's three years working with Connie, she met a lot of people in the music industry which led her to Hollywood to do one of the first interviews with Elvis Presley when he came out of the army. She became a reporter for magazines in Europe, and in the States. Her interview with a soap opera actress was for a magazine called All Day TV in 1973 who was Eileen Fulton (Lisa on As the World Turns). This interview was the beginning of Joyce's soap opera career.Joyce asked the producer NBC's The Doctors if he would give her a small part on the show so that she could write a story for the magazine. The producer gave her a small part as Nurse Rae and she was the nurse to Dr. Bellini portrayed Gerald Gordon. What she didn't know was that one day would turn into two days during a very important storyline. Even though Joyce's mom didn't want her to be an actress, she did become one for those two days. Come hang out with Joyce and I to hear her incredible stories from Soap Opera Festivals.Original Airdate: 3/3/2022

Ruinerna tar plats i poesin igen, men denna gång representerar de inte ett förlorat förflutet, konstaterar Anna Blennow. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.En man kommer vandrande genom staden Rom. Vi känner inte till något säkert om honom utom hans namn: Gregorius. Kanske kom han från England, troligen någon gång på 1200-talet. Vad vi vet är att den reseberättelse han skrev är ett av de äldsta vittnesmål som finns bevarat av Romresenärer genom tiderna. Den stad Gregorius genomströvar är både levande och förgången, och full av antika ruiner mer storslagna än någonting han sett. Vid en visit i det som en gång var kejsar Diocletianus badhus noterar han att kolonnerna där är så enorma att ingen ens skulle kunna kasta en sten lika högt (man får en känsla av att han själv har försökt, men misslyckats).Att ett Rom i ruiner ändå är större än vilken annan blomstrande stad som helst hade redan den diktande biskopen Hildebert de Lavardin påpekat i början av 1100-talet. I dikten Om Rom, som skulle komma att citeras i berättelser och böcker i århundraden efteråt, skriver han: Likt dig, Rom, är ingenting, trots att du ligger nästan helt i ruiner. Hur stor du var som hel, visar du ännu som bruten. Ett par sekel senare anknyter den franske poeten Joachim du Bellay till samma tematik i en enigmatisk sonett: Rom är det enda monumentet över Rom / och endast Rom har besegrat Rom.Ruinerna som symbolbild av sorg över det som gått förlorat vändes i poetiska verk som dessa istället till segervisshet. Synen på den kristna kyrkan som både arvtagare till och besegrare av det antika Rom sipprar in i den litterära traditionen och etablerar Roms paradoxala karaktär som en stad som lever trots att den fallit. Och lika dubbeltydig blir bilden av ruinen: såväl gravsten som segermonument, och symbol för både förlust och evigt minne.Ordet ruin kommer från latinets ruína, som i sin tur bygger på verbet rúere, att störta samman. Ursprungsbetydelsen är alltså själva ögonblicket då allt kollapsar och faller, medan ordet idag istället betecknar det kvarstående resultatet.Men i samma ögonblick som ruinen blir till ett fragment av den helhet den en gång bestått av, öppnas en möjlighet att åter göra det trasiga monumentet helt. Renässansens antikvarier lät antikens Rom återuppstå som en papperets idealkonstruktion i ritningar och på planskisser. 1800-talets arkeologer förbättrade gärna monumenten rent fysiskt med tegel och murbruk för att få dem att bli mera lika sitt tänkta ursprungliga utseende. Och nuförtiden kan datoranimeringar och digitala hjälpmedel hjälpa oss att förstå hur antikens Rom kan ha sett ut ja, kan ha sett ut, för ruinen bär inte på någon absolut sanning. Den utgör en indikation och en vägvisare, en bit av ett pussel som kan ha många olika tänkbara lösningar. Målet för den bildade besökaren, då som nu, är att antingen genom fakta eller fantasi fylla i ruinernas kunskapsluckor.Oavsett om den finns i Rom, i Alvastra eller på Ground Zero i New York är ruinen en byggnad som lämnat sin ursprungliga funktion och istället trätt in i en roll som historiskt minne och monument. Och i samma process har den också blivit till ett nytt objekt som måste bevaras intakt för att kunna bära på det budskap vi tillmäter den. Ett återkommande problem för museer och kulturarvsplatser är därför frågan om hur vi ska kunna föreviga de ruiner som redan i sig är så fysiskt bräckliga.Den antika staden Pompeji, nära dagens Neapel, begravdes vid vulkanen Vesuvius utbrott år 79. När arkeologerna började gräva fram den igen fann de, snarare än ruiner, en komplett antik miljö där såväl byggnader och invånare som bröd och oliver från vardagens måltid hade bevarats nästintill intakta. Men när de freskbemålade väggarna exponerades för luft och ljus, och så småningom strömmar av svettiga och dammiga turister, började de ofrånkomligen vittra och förfalla.Ruinen, själva symbolen för att allt är förgängligt, har inte heller den evigt liv. Också en ruin kan falla i ruiner, som när resterna av den antika romerska staden Palmyra i dagens Syrien till stor del förstördes av IS-trupper 2015. De tempel som redan skattat åt förgängelsen gick under ännu en gång. Omvärlden reagerade med sorg och bestörtning över de historiska minnesmärken som gått förlorade. Men sätter vi upp förväntningar som är omöjliga att infria, när vi vill att ruinerna ska vara för evigt, att de ska bära på oförändrade värden, att de oupphörligt ska manifestera vår tro och vår ideologi? Och även om ett monument består, skriver poeten och språkprofessorn Susan Stewart, kommer förändrade maktförhållanden och nya generationer att omforma och förvandla dess betydelse.Ruinen kan manifestera det förflutna och förgångna, men den kan också stå som påminnelse om en nära förestående kollaps. I pandemiernas, krigens och klimatkrisens tid syns en ny besatthet av civilisationernas fall i poesin. En dikt ur Malte Perssons dystopiska Undergången skildrar en övergiven byggnad vars tomma rum fylls av graffiti, mögel och stank av urin, en vision som öppnar för förlusten av ett helt samhälle: i tomma villor, nedlagda fabriker / och olönsamma biografpalats / syns redan hur ett mänskligt nu som sviker / åt framtidens förflutna lämnar plats. Och i Fredrik Nybergs ruindikter monteras såväl bondgårdar som museer ned i monotont malande prosastycken. Ständigt återkommer den symboliska bilden av det bärande valvets slutsten, som drar med sig allt då den faller.Vår desillusionerade samtid, där vi tycks ha tappat tron på rekonstruktion och helhet, och där tillvarons grundmurar vacklar, för tankarna till romantikens förkärlek för ruinen som förgänglighetssymbol. 1700- och 1800-talets konstnärer och poeter lät avbilda sig vid fallna kolonner och skrev elegier över den förgångna tid då allt var idealiskt och intakt. Deras omvärld var liksom vår en orolig och osäker tid med revolutioner och maktstrider, men där ruinerna för dem representerade ett förlorat förflutet ser vi istället en förlorad framtid.Men ruinen är inte bara en översättningsakt mellan det förgångna och nuet, som Susan Stewart skriver. Den har också alltid utgjort förbindelselänken mellan den förgängliga civilisationen och den primitiva men eviga naturen. Under industrialismens långa tidevarv, från romantiken till 2000-talet, har längtan till naturen ständigt ställts mot de teknologiska landvinningarna naturen som aldrig kan gå under för att den ständigt återföds. Romantikens idealbild av den pittoreska ruinen med slingrande murgröna och överväxta murar är också det högst reella öde som väntar varje monument som förfaller. Naturen blir både ett hot och ett löfte: den bara väntar på att få återföra både oss och ruinerna till den jord ur vilken vi kommit, men grässtrået som bryter igenom den rämnande stenläggningen visar att livet kommer att fortgå.Anna Blennow, latinforskare och poetLitteraturSusan Stewart, The Ruins Lesson.

Let's have some fun and see how God moves in ways we never knew He could! Today we learn that God talked through a donkey! That's right- a donkey. Have you ever heard that this was in the Bible? I had never heard it! Here is the scripture reference: Numbers 22: 26-31 Then the angel of the Lord moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left. 27 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it lay down under Balaam, and he was angry and beat it with his staff. 28 Then the Lord opened the donkey's mouth, and it said to Balaam, "What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?" 29 Balaam answered the donkey, "You have made a fool of me! If only I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now." 30 The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?" "No," he said. 31 Then the Lord opened Balaam's eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell facedown.  WOW! If God speaks through a donkey, He will undoubtedly talk through to us!  Here are a few ways we can hear God speak: Be still and unplug from the noisy world so that we can hear Him speak. Open up our expectation to the possibility that God will speak. Get your Bible to start reading His word and see if you read something that speaks right to your heart. Think through the past few weeks, and did someone like a friend, family member, pastor, or neighbor say something that made you feel affirmed or understood? That might be God speaking through them to you! Make it a point every day to spend some time with God praying and reading His word, and I know He will speak to you! Susan K. Stewart shares how God used her raising donkeys to use them to tell others about God. Listen to the Livin' Lively with Laine Podcast as Susan shares this funny and powerful story. Also, you can check out her devotion, Donkey Devos Listen when God Speaks.

Ukraine celebrates the 30 anniversary of its independence that was established on August 24, 1991. The country's sovereignty might be limited by the annexation of Crimea and by the war Russia started in 2014. But the fact that Ukraine was able to keep its independence is not a small thing. This is according to Susan Stewart, Senior Fellow at Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP) - The German Institute for International and Security Affairs. How does she compare Ukraine of 1991 to Ukraine of 2021? What does she think about The Crimean Platform, about a new Kyiv's diplomatic initiative? And what can Ukraine's government do in regards to the situation in Donbas? Listen to our conversation. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/andrej-matisak/message

Russland setzt viel daran, den Einfluss in seiner Nachbarschaft auszubauen. Der EU ihrerseits gelingt es nicht, Russland in seine Grenzen zu weisen. Dominik Schottner diskutiert mit Ronja Kempin und Susan Stewart über die Frage, mit welchen zum Teil noch ungenutzten Instrumenten die EU Russland wirksam rote Linien aufzeigen könnte. Gesprächspartnerinnen: Dr. Ronja Kempin ist Senior Fellow in der Forschungsgruppe EU/Europa der Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP).

Germany's policy towards Russia affects not only these two countries. It affects all of Europe and beyond. Different visions and interests clash in Berlin. There are also many variables and unknowns, such as the end of Angela Merkel's era or the attempted poisoning of Alexei Navalny.EPISODE NOTESGermany and Russia have a particularly strong relationship. It is not always good, but it is unique. "There are many Russian lawyers in Germany," explains Olga Doleśniak-Harczuk. However, there is also the other side, people who are critical of Moscow's behavior and unpredictability. According to Susan Stewart, the latter trend is growing. Disappointment towards Russia was brought about by the war in Ukraine, the failure of rapprochement attempts and, more recently, the attempted assassination attempt on Alexei Navalny's life.Wilfried Jilge places German-Russian relations in the context of relations between Russia, the European Union and the United States. The German expert emphasizes that Russia is systematically removing the West from regions that the Kremlin considers strategic. This is especially true of the Caucasus and the Black and Caspian basins. In his opinion, in this part of the world, Moscow's influence is growing despite the frequent voices in the West pointing to the weakening of the Russian state.Contributors:Olgi Doleśniak–HarczukAlicja BaczyńskaWilfrieda JilgeAdam ReichardtSusan Stewart

Susan shares her reflections from her trip out to Srebrenica as part of a delegation with Remembering Srebrenica Scotland.

Today’s episode focuses on another timely and much-discussed topic – one that I’m sure you’ve been hearing and reading about in the media, on the news, on social media, and perhaps even in your conversations in office sales meetings and with your clients. We’re talking about mortgage forbearance in the time of COVID-19, and we're seeking to separate myth from fact.A very real consequence of the Sheltering-in-Place and quarantining across the country has been a financial one. With mandatory shut-down of businesses and essential vs. not essential classifications, as well as unemployment and furloughs, comes financial strain, and for homeowners that can mean the inability to pay their mortgage. The CARES Act has put some very specific provisions in place regarding mortgage forbearance, and here to talk with us today are Susan Stewart, CEO of SWBC Mortgage Corporation and Chair-Elect of the Mortgage Banker's Association, as well as Georgia’s own Rebecca King, loan officer and branch manager of the Blairsville, Georgia, SWBC Mortgage Corp location.Does Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac Own Your Client's Mortgage? https://www.makinghomeaffordable.gov/get-answers/Pages/get-answers-find-out-mortgage.aspx-- Look Up Your Fannie Mae Mortgage: https://www.knowyouroptions.com/loanlookup-- Look Up Your Freddie Mac Mortgage: https://ww3.freddiemac.com/loanlookup/NAR's Coronavirus Resources for Property Owners: https://www.nar.realtor/coronavirus-resources-for-property-owners-- Printable Version of the Above For Your Clients: https://narfocus.com/billdatabase/clientfiles/172/28/3581.pdfNAR's Coronavirus Mortgage & Personal Finance FAQs: https://www.nar.realtor/political-advocacy/coronavirus-mortgage-and-personal-finance-faqsNAR's Coronavirus Provisions for REALTORS® and Their Consumers: https://narfocus.com/billdatabase/clientfiles/172/21/3613.pdf (printable)CFPB: CARES Act Mortgage Forbearance - What You Need to Know: https://www.consumerfinance.gov/coronavirus/cares-act-mortgage-forbearance-what-you-need-know/REALTOR® Magazine: "As Forbearances Requests Rise, NAR Dispels Myths: https://magazine.realtor/daily-news/2020/04/08/as-forbearance-requests-rise-nar-dispels-mythsSUSAN STEWART: Susan Stewart is the Chairman-Elect of the MBA and Chief Executive Officer of SWBC Mortgage headquartered in San Antonio, TX.

Today's poem is "Let me tell you about my marvelous god" by Susan Stewart.

When we are imagining this time, next year, are we limiting our thinking to how we avoid the conditions we faced in this summer? Or are there bigger questions we can ask? ShutterstockEditor’s note: Today, on Trust Me, I’m An Expert, we hear from Clare Cooper, design lecturer at the University of Sydney, on how futuring techniques can help us think collectively about life under a drastically hotter climate. Her accompanying essay is below. Australians, no matter where we are, are coming to acknowledge that our summers – and our autumns, winters and springs – are forever changed. We are, bit by bit, reviewing our assumptions. Whether we need to radically rethink our calendars, or question where and how we rebuild homes and towns, we face a choice: collective, creative adaptation or increased devastation. How might this time next year feel - anxious, hot and sticky? How might it smell - like bushfire smoke? How might it taste - would seafood and berries still be on the menu in future summers as our climate changes? (One of my favourite placards at a recent climate rally was “shit climate = shit wine”). When we think about this time next year, are we freaking out, or are we futuring? How might the Australian summer of the future look, taste, smell? Shutterstock Read more: Why we should make time for remembering the future Collaborative futuring in a climate crisis “Futuring” is sometimes called futures studies, futurology, scenario design or foresight thinking. It has been used in the business world for decades. Futuring means thinking systematically about the future, drawing on scientific data, analysing trends, imagining scenarios (both plausible and unlikely) and thinking creatively. A crucial part of the process is thinking hard about the kind of future we might want to avoid and the steps needed to work toward a certain desired future. But futurists aren’t magical people who sweep in and solve problems for you. They facilitate discussions and collaboration but the answers ultimately come from communities themselves. Artists and writers have been creatively imagining the future for millennia. Futuring is a crucial part of design and culture-building. My research looks at how futuring can help communities work toward a just and fair transition to a drastically warmer world and greater weather extremes. Collaborative futuring invites audiences to respond to probable, possible, plausible and preposterous future scenarios as the climate crisis sets in. This process can reveal assumptions, biases and possible courses of action. Cars lie damaged after a surprise hailstorm hit Canberra in January. Extreme weather events are predicted to worsen as the climate changes. AAP Image/Mick Tsikas Read more: How we forecast future technologies Getting creative Futuring is not predicting futures. It’s a way of mixing informed projections with imaginative critical design to invite us to think differently about our current predicaments. That can help us step back from the moment of panic and instead proactively design steps to change things for the better – not 20 years from now, but from today. If you peeked into a futuring workshop with adults, you might see a lot of lively conversations and a bunch of post-it notes. For kids, you might see them making collages, or creating cardboard prototypes of emerging technology. You might have done some futuring today, talking with friends and family about changes you might make as it becomes obvious our summers will grow only hotter. I’ve seen futuring occur at my daughter’s school, where children are invited to imagine being on the other side of a difficult problem, and then work out the steps needed to get there. 13-year-old protester Izzy Raj-Seppings poses for a photograph outside of Kirribilli House in Sydney late last year.

For example, are we thinking about staying away from bushfire-prone areas, or buying air purifiers and face masks? For those who can afford it, are we thinking about booking extended overseas holidays? Or are we challenging each other to think beyond such avoidance strategies: to imagine a post-Murdoch press and a post-fossil fuel lobby future? Can we imagine ways to respond to extreme weather beyond individual prepping? Including a diverse range of voices, especially Indigenous community members, is crucial to a just transition to a warmer world. We can’t allow a changed climate to mean comfortable adaptation for a wealthy elite while everyone else suffers. Many of us have joined climate protests in recent months and years. But more work needs to be done and bigger questions asked. What steps are needed to meet demands for public ownership of a renewable energy system: more support for those battling and displaced by bushfires? How do we work toward First Nations justice, including funding for Indigenous-led land management, jobs on Country, and land and water rights? It is not enough to pin an image of our future to a wall and pray we get there. Short term fixes in the form of drought or emergency relief won’t address the fact that extreme weather events are not going away. Responsible, useful futuring mixes equal parts of imagination and informed projections. It’s not wild speculation. Futuring practitioners draw on scientific and social data, and weave it with the stories, concerns and desires of those present to find new ways into a problem. Short term fixes in the form of drought or emergency relief won’t address the fact that extreme weather events are not going away. Shutterstock Read more: What would a fair energy transition look like? Speaking of catastrophe to avoid it Former Labor prime minister Paul Keating last year criticised the Morrison government for what he saw as a lack of vision: If you look, there is no panorama. There’s no vista. There’s no shape. There’s no talk about where Australia fits in the world. Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s performance during the unfolding bushfire horrors – widely perceived as lacklustre – suggests growing thirst for bolder vision on dealing with “the new normal.” In their book Design and the Question of History, design scholars Tony Fry, Clive Dilnot and Susan Stewart argue that we should speak of catastrophe “in order to avoid it”. Polish-born sociologist Zygmunt Bauman wrote prophesying the advent of that catastrophe as passionately and vociferously as we can manage is the sole chance of making the unavoidable avoidable — and perhaps even the inevitable impossible to happen. We owe it to those worst affected by the climate crisis – and to ourselves – to dedicate time to collaborative futuring as we rethink life in an increasingly hostile climate.

“We become women of all seasons.” Our culture often associates negativity with aging. We dread what may come with age, despite mounting evidence that our worse fears are less likely than we think. Dr. Susan Stewart began examining this contradiction after encountering some rather heartening messages in myths, folktales, psychology, and gerontology that just encourage us to embrace and even look forward to the winter of our lives. Join Dr. Viado this week as she and Dr. Stewart discuss negative cultural messaging; the different dimensions of aging; and our lives in review. Dr. Susan Stewart has been a Professor of Psychology for over thirty years (now emerita) at Sonoma State University, and is a retired therapist and a grandmother to four. She earned her Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the age 26 and was a Marriage and Family Therapist for many years. Her exploration of aging began in 2000 as she immersed herself into the myths and folktales after a series of encounters with the word crone. In place of the wicked and ugly portrayals she expected to find, she discovered some very inspiring old women.  She was compelled to share her discoveries after finding that gerontologists, psychologists, neuroscientists, and others were describing similar discoveries in late life development. She began to spread the word about the under-appreciated gifts of age in her classes, papers, presentations, and workshops. On the eve of turning 70, she completed Winter’s Graces: The Surprising Gifts of Later Life in which she weaves together folktales, themes from the world’s wisdom and spiritual traditions, current findings in gerontology and other fields, stories of her own and those of other older women, and characters of film - all of which reflect late-life qualities like contentment, agelessness, simplicity, and fierceness. When she’s not enjoying the company of her four grandchildren, singing, dancing or playing her cello, Susan continues to make presentations and offer workshops on the gifts of late life. She is most passionate about sharing the gifts of late life in a culture that mistakenly equates old age with debilitating decline. She has found that stories, along with recent research; visual images of elders; and the opportunity for participants to reflect on and share their own attitudes and experiences of aging, are a potent mixture.

Heads up! Susan Stewart, PhD gives us a sneak peek into our future state of mind as we discuss her new book Winter's Graces: The Surprising Gifts of Later Life. Nature and neuroscience come together in our 70s, 80s, and 90s bearing gifts for creating a state of reflective contentment as we complete our turn on this earth.  More at experience50.com/139  A Professor of Psychology for over thirty years (now emerita), a retired therapist, and four times a grandmother, Susan Avery Stewart, Ph.D., is passionate about sharing the gifts of late life in a culture that mistakenly equates old age with debilitating decline. Her own journey into the apparent abyss of old age began quite by accident, but it has enhanced her view of aging, and her life, immensely. At age 54, a series of encounters with the word crone left her unsettled yet curious, and she went looking for good news about growing older, not at all sure she would find any.   Fifteen years later she completed Winter's Graces: The Surprising Gifts of Later Life. In its pages, she weaves together folktales, current research in gerontology and other fields, themes from the world's wisdom traditions, stories of her own and other older women's experience, and characters from film that reflect qualities that ripen in later life, such as contentment, agelessness, simplicity, and necessary fierceness. Susan is also a singer and a cellist and loves to dance.

I usually cover a lot of heavy stuff in this show, but as always my main goal is to bring out the light in any dark situation. Today, let’s just stand in the light for a little bit; let’s laugh for therapy's sake and roll with whatever crazy, zany hijinks the universe wants to throw at us. This episode is all about why finding the light in the dark is essential to our personal well-being. It’s time to talk comedy. Humor is healing. This is the anthem of my guest Susan Stewart. Susan is a Toronto-based comedian and speaker who has walked her path of darkness but has come out laughing. Susan will be the first to tell you that even the most uncomfortable or unfortunate circumstances can become humorous with time. The real, deep, heavy topics that most folks want to skirt around are her comedy bread and butter. I love that she plays so lightheartedly with the duality of comedy and tragedy. What she creates with her stories is something truly beautiful and truly human. In this episode, Susan and I commiserate about so many things including how hard it can be to parent our children sometimes, struggles with mental health, and the strength of the communities that rally around us. Above all else, we will celebrate the fact that the darkness has not won. Light wills out and life finds a way. You ready to laugh? Listen in to hear Susan and I talk about: Feeling amazing on the outside (thanks to the Crisis Diet) but falling apart on the inside. Why humor is such an important component in telling our truths. Standup comedy, mental health, and the ability to stop blaming external circumstances. Susan's windy path back to humor by way of working for the government. Misadventures in parenting and Susan's hilarious re-enactment of her partner's daughter. What prompted Susan to write a book. HINT: It's not what I was expecting! How Susan helped me name who I wanted to be based on what I liked to do as a child..I'm a dabbler! And I LOVE that about myself. Susan’s advice for those who might be struggling and feeling alone.

The philosopher Simone Weil defined prayer as “absolutely unmixed attention.” The artist Ann Hamilton embodies this notion in her sweeping works of art that bring all the senses together. She uses her hands to create installations that are both visually astounding and surprisingly intimate, and meet a longing many of us share, as she puts it, to be “alone together.”

Dr Robbie Richardson (English, University of Kent) “[T]he most mysterious thing in the World”: British Interpretations of First Nations Material Culture Abstract This paper will look at the relationship between British people in the eighteenth century and the North American cultural objects that they privately collected or viewed in museums, cabinets of curiosities, coffeehouses, and other venues. More specifically it will look at the body of First Nations material culture that arrived in large amounts throughout the century and the ways that these objects shaped British perceptions of Native people and their own sense of identity. There has been little scholarship on the ways in which this material, imbued with First Nations skill, knowledge, and memory, was perceived by British people and interacted with other forms of representation in print and visual culture. While we must remember, as Susan Stewart suggests, that cultural objects in collections “are naturalized by the erasure of labor and the erasure of context of production,” at the same time wampum, calumets, and tomahawks were regularly written into fictional texts and came to be understood for both their physical appearance and symbolic functions; furthermore, they became metonymic for Indians, whose perceived fetishistic relationship to their own material culture both reflected on and critiqued British consumer culture.
