This Day in Legal History: Rosa Parks ArrestedOn December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama, for refusing to surrender her seat to a white passenger on a segregated city bus. Parks, a 42-year-old Black seamstress and longtime activist, had been sitting in the “colored” section when the driver demanded she move. Her quiet but firm defiance violated local segregation laws, which mandated racial separation in public transportation and required Black passengers to yield seats to white passengers when buses became crowded. Parks' arrest became a catalyst for the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a coordinated campaign to end racial segregation on public transit.The boycott began four days later, organized by the Montgomery Improvement Association, with a then-unknown Martin Luther King Jr. as its president. It lasted over a year, during which thousands of Black residents refused to use the city's buses, severely impacting the transit system's finances. The protest was not only a powerful act of collective resistance but also a carefully structured legal challenge. Civil rights attorneys, including Fred Gray, filed a federal lawsuit—Browder v. Gayle—on behalf of several Black women who had experienced bus segregation.In November 1956, the federal district court ruled that Montgomery's segregated bus system was unconstitutional under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the decision, and on December 20, 1956, the boycott officially ended when the Court's ruling was implemented. Rosa Parks' arrest and the movement it sparked marked a turning point in the American civil rights struggle. Her individual act of resistance ignited a mass movement and set the stage for future legal and social change.The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a key copyright case today involving Cox Communications and several major record labels, including Sony, Warner, and Universal. The case centers on whether Cox can be held financially liable for allegedly enabling its users to illegally download music. A jury originally awarded the labels $1 billion in 2019 after finding Cox secondarily liable for over 10,000 copyright infringements, but the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals later reversed part of that decision, leading to a retrial on damages.Cox argues it shouldn't be held accountable for users' actions, warning that a ruling against it could force ISPs to terminate internet access for entire households or public institutions over alleged piracy. The company claims it reasonably handled piracy reports and criticized the notion that it failed to act. In contrast, the labels accuse Cox of ignoring thousands of infringement notices and protecting profitable repeat offenders while readily cutting off nonpaying customers.Big tech companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft have sided with Cox, suggesting that a ruling for the labels could harm the internet economy. Meanwhile, the Trump administration—represented by Solicitor General John Sauer—is supporting Cox's view that merely knowing about piracy isn't enough to establish liability. Industry groups in music, film, and publishing back the labels, arguing that Cox's stance threatens collaborative anti-piracy efforts. The Supreme Court's decision could reshape how ISPs respond to copyright violations.US Supreme Court to hear copyright dispute between Cox and record labels | ReutersFollowing a deadly shooting in Washington, D.C., involving an Afghan immigrant accused of killing a National Guard member, President Donald Trump has intensified efforts to restrict legal immigration. Within 48 hours of the attack, Trump paused Afghan immigration applications, launched a review of asylum approvals from the Biden era, and hinted at expanded vetting under his existing travel ban targeting 19 countries. These moves revive and build upon restrictive immigration policies from Trump's first term, now framed as necessary for national security.Critics argue the administration is exploiting a tragic but isolated incident to justify sweeping immigration rollbacks. Afghan advocacy groups stressed that Afghan immigrants undergo extensive vetting and should not be broadly blamed. While Trump and top officials suggested large-scale reforms—like ending federal benefits for non-citizens and denaturalizing those deemed a threat—federal agencies have so far announced more limited actions, such as case reviews for applicants from travel-ban countries.Legal experts warn that some of the proposed policies, including denying welfare to lawful residents and mass denaturalization, would likely be ruled unconstitutional. Nonetheless, the administration is signaling an aggressive stance, despite polls showing declining public approval of Trump's immigration policies. Meanwhile, Democrats accuse Trump of targeting law-abiding immigrants and using fear-based tactics for political gain.Trump sharpens focus on legal immigration after National Guard shooting | ReutersA federal judge's decision to ban generative AI from his chambers after an intern used it in a flawed court opinion has sparked debate over how technology should be used in the legal system. Judge Julien Neals of New Jersey attributed the error in a June ruling to a law student who used AI in violation of their school's policy, prompting Neals to prohibit AI use entirely among his staff. His response to Senator Chuck Grassley drew concern from legal academics and judges who argue that banning AI outright may be shortsighted.Proponents of AI in the judiciary say the technology, if used responsibly, could reduce case backlogs and improve efficiency amid staffing shortages. Judge Xavier Rodriguez of Texas ran an experiment comparing traditional opinion writing with AI-assisted drafting, showing significant time savings without sacrificing quality. He and others advocate for structured AI use, emphasizing vetting, fact-checking, and clear protocols to preserve judicial integrity.Magistrate Judge Allison Goddard and law professors like David Kemp suggest that instead of bans, institutions should focus on teaching students ethical and effective AI use. With many law students already accustomed to using generative AI, schools are scrambling to develop policies and training. Some institutions, like the University of Chicago Law School, have embraced AI integration, while others lag behind. The incident in Judge Neals' courtroom has become a wake-up call for courts and law schools to align on responsible AI use in legal education and practice.Judges' AI Blunders Spark Debate on Technology Use in CourtsLuigi Mangione, accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in a high-profile shooting outside a Manhattan hotel, appeared in court today for key pretrial hearings. The 27-year-old, arrested in December 2024, has pleaded not guilty to murder and multiple related charges in both state and federal cases. The hearings will determine whether crucial evidence—including a 3-D printed gun, silencer, and journal writings found in Mangione's backpack—can be used at trial. His defense argues that the items were obtained through an illegal search during his arrest in Pennsylvania and that statements he made to police should also be excluded.Prosecutors dispute those claims and are seeking to admit the materials, which they argue implicate Mangione in the killing. Mangione, who has gained a controversial following among critics of the U.S. healthcare system, faces life in prison if convicted of second-degree murder. In a separate federal case, prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty. Earlier in September, two terrorism charges were dismissed after a judge ruled there was insufficient evidence Mangione intended to intimidate healthcare workers or influence government policy.The hearings, overseen by Judge Gregory Carro, are expected to last through the week and include testimony from arresting officers. No trial date has yet been set, and Mangione remains in federal custody in Brooklyn.Luigi Mangione due in court for pretrial hearings over US healthcare executive's killing | Reuters This is a public episode.

In this episode, we dig into the tricky question every math teacher faces: When is a calculator a helpful tool—and when does it actually rob students of valuable mathematical thinking?Yvette shares a personal story about a conversation with her son on whether he should use a calculator for an upcoming test. The discussion quickly expanded: is a lower score worth it if it means students are pushing their math brains harder? Jon and Kyle weigh in on the role of calculators and AI in classrooms—acknowledging that sometimes these tools provide necessary accommodations, but other times they shortcut the very cognitive work that builds fluency, number sense, and problem-solving stamina.Together, we unpack:The difference between appropriate accommodations and missed opportunities.Why productive struggle and mental math strengthen students' “math muscles.”How to help students and families navigate the balance between tools and thinking.Parallels between calculators and AI—when they accelerate learning, and when they rob students of meaningful connections.This is not a call to ban calculators—but a reminder that timing, context, and intention matter.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

Welcome to episode #975 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Nicholas Carr has long been one of the most important voices questioning how technology is shaping our minds, our communication, and our culture (and a personal favorite). His latest book, Superbloom - How Technologies of Connection Tear Us Apart, builds on the themes he's explored in The Shallows and The Glass Cage, offering a critical look at how our obsession with constant connectivity may be eroding human relationships rather than strengthening them. In this conversation, Nick challenges the assumption that more communication automatically leads to greater understanding, explaining how friction in conversation is necessary for thoughtful interactions. We discussed the rise of dissimilarity cascades - how exposure to differing viewpoints can sometimes increase polarization rather than bridge divides - and why the utopian vision of digital communication often clashes with human nature. Nick also highlights the psychological toll of constant connectivity, particularly among younger generations, and the unintended consequences of social media's influence on work, leisure, and personal identity. As AI continues to reshape communication, he raises important questions about authenticity, the risk of society becoming skeptical of everything, and the broader shift toward efficiency at the cost of deeper human values. His perspective is always thought-provoking, and this conversation is no exception. If you want to rethink how you engage with technology in your daily life, this episode is a must-listen. You should also check out his excellent Substack newsletter, New Cartographies. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 1:01:14. Hello from beautiful Montreal.

This podcast is hosted by edWeb.net.The edLeader Panel recording can be accessed here.According to our nation's students, the value of using technology for learning is clear—when used effectively, it helps them develop the skills they need for future success. Seventy-five percent of high school students report that their number one use of technology in school is taking online tests, an operational classroom practice that neither engages students in learning nor helps them develop workplace skills.Conversely, less than one-third of students say they have regular access to interactive technologies such as virtual labs, multimedia tools, augmented reality, coding resources, and AI tools that foster critical thinking, creativity, and problem solving. Students report that their best use of digital resources for learning happens on their own time, outside of school, most often through their smartphones. Given this reality, what do we need to know to increase the efficacy of classroom learning, especially when using technology?Each year, the Speak Up Research Initiative asks K-12 students, parents, and educators about the role of technology for learning in and out of school. The Congressional Briefing is an annual presentation of Speak Up results to national policymakers. In this year's Speak Up Congressional Briefing, Dr. Julie Evans, CEO of Project Tomorrow, shares the 2023-24 national research findings collected from over 100,000 K-12 students, classroom educators, administrators, and parents and families nationwide about technology use in schools, student engagement, parents' concerns, teacher needs, and even AI policies.Most notably, the Briefing includes a panel of middle and high school students from across the United States, offering their authentic, no-spin views on learning today, and their recommendations for closing the gap between students' aspirations for more effective classroom learning and current instructional practices.The Congressional Briefing is of interest to K-12 school leaders, district leaders, education technology leaders, teachers, librarians, and policymakers.Learn more about viewing live edWeb presentations and on-demand recordings, earning CE certificates, and using accessibility features.

Meet Chris Cerra, the genius and founder of Remote Base  and Digital Nomad Trip Reports! I was introduced to Chris by a friend, who operates one of the most functional and powerful expat/nomad insurance companies and we discovered a common love for the far-ranging subjects of nomadism. Chris shared his wide-ranging but very sensible and down to earth approach to nomading, here are a few takeaways.Understanding Your 'Why' Knowing your motivation for embracing a nomadic lifestyle will help fuel resilience and guide your decisions step-by-step. This deep understanding of your purpose can serve as an anchor during challenging times and help you stay committed to your chosen path. Making Decisions Wisely Navigating choices like accommodations and destinations with a clear purpose and reliable resources means lots of thorough research, budget considerations, and aligning your choices with your overall nomadic goals. Developing a decision-making framework that considers factors like safety, work requirements, and personal growth opportunities will greatly assist your nomadic experience.Cultivating Resilience Develop resilience as you adapt to different environments and challenges, a key skill for nomads. This resilience extends beyond just dealing with travel hiccups; it's about maintaining a positive outlook, problem-solving on the go, and viewing obstacles as opportunities for growth. Prioritizing Health Chris advocates that we all travel with portable workout equipment in to maintain our health on-the-go. Don't forget about dietary habits and health insurance for emergencies. Health prioritization also includes mental well-being, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, and finding ways to de-stress in unfamiliar environments. Make sure to look into telemedicine options for continuity of care and research local healthcare systems all your destinations.Engaging LocallyParticipating in local sports can help us stay active and foster connections, thus enhancing your travel enjoyment. This engagement can extend to joining local clubs, attending community events, or volunteering. These connections  also help combat loneliness and create a sense of temporary belonging in each location.Adapting with Technology Use modern tools for easier navigation but balance with learning resilience and problem-solving skills. While apps and online resources are invaluable, don't become overly reliant on them. Develop skills like map reading, basic language communication without translation apps, and the ability to ask for help from locals. This combination ensures you can thrive even when technology isn't available.Mental Preparedness Practice mental techniques and "fear setting" to navigate the uncertainties of nomadic living confidently. This includes visualization exercises, mindfulness practices, and scenario planning. By anticipating potential challenges and mentally preparing for them, you can reduce anxiety and approach new situations with greater calm and confidence.Building Intuition Sharpen your travel intuition over time, helping you make comfortable and safe decisions in new settings. This intuition develops through experience and keen observation.All of the above is incredibly sound, pragmatic advice from a well-informed and well-established nomad!

Smith Jr.https://www.facebook.com/theatsjrhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/Antonio-T.-Smith-Jr/author/B00M3MPVJ8https://www.linkedin.com/in/antoniotsmithjrhttps://antoniotsmithjr.comhttps://www.instagram.com/theatsjr Key Themes and LessonsProsperity vs. Poverty Mindset:Focus on fighting for prosperity rather than against poverty.Reframe challenges as opportunities happening for prosperity, not to you.Content Strategy:Season 8 of the "Secret to Success" podcast dropped all at once, akin to Netflix.Emphasis on documenting experiences for future use, following the “document, don't create” principle.Lessons from past efforts (such as recordings from six years ago) can be leveraged even if they didn't seem relevant at the time.Personal Branding:Struggles with integrating diverse skillsets (e.g., carpentry, poetry, math teaching) into a unified personal brand.Steve Jobs' philosophy: Dots can only be connected in retrospect, not looking forward.Multifaceted Talents:Embrace and document your various skills, even if they seem unrelated (e.g., land navigation, Krav Maga).Record everything; you can always explain away quality issues later if the content is valuable.Business and Marketing StrategiesAudience Engagement:Multiple podcast seasons available to keep audiences engaged during quarantine.Binge-style content releases attract more downloads and engagement.The more content you release, the higher your ranking will be in podcast platforms due to the download volume.Free Content and Value Offering:Offer recession courses for free to help 750,000 people.Leverage free courses as a method for expanding the audience and providing value.Leadership InsightsDecision Making:Leaders must make tough decisions, sometimes hurting feelings in the process.Good leaders make decisions that not everyone will enjoy, but it's necessary for progress.Handling Coronavirus:Teams need to be mindful of safety protocols as states reopen during the pandemic.Tough choices may need to be made, either personal feelings will get hurt or you will.Productivity and Goal SettingStructuring Time for Success:Grace is encouraged to structure her day for both creating math videos and making sales calls.Three methods suggested:Split the day in half (morning for one task, afternoon for another).Alternate tasks every other hour (less effective for maintaining focus).Work in focused blocks (e.g., dedicate several days to sales, then switch to content creation).Efficiency and Technology:Use technology (OBS Project) to automate and streamline tasks like live videos, allowing simultaneous focus on other areas like calls.Goal-Oriented Approach:Achieve goals (e.g., 250 sales leads) quickly to free up time for personal projects.Opportunities for Team GrowthFree Business Mentorship:An opportunity for two team members to apply for a 90-day mentorship program to build their businesses from scratch.Focus on immediate customer acquisition and long-term business growth.Final Insights and ChallengesCall to Record Everything:Document all efforts, whether audio or video, as valuable lessons can come from it down the line.Team Challenge:Leadership team encouraged to focus on reaching personal and business goals with structured and deliberate planning.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-secret-to-success/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Send us a textIn this episode of The Small Nonprofit Podcast, Maria sits down with Quilen Blackwell, President and co-founder of Chicago Eco House and Southside Blooms. Quilen shares his remarkable journey of founding and growing a nonprofit with a thriving $2 million social enterprise. With a focus on sustainability, community development, and economic resilience, Quilen offers invaluable tips for nonprofits looking to scale effectively. Key Topics: Social enterprise success: from zero to $2 million Challenges of scaling a nonprofit and a business How Southside Blooms converts customers into donors The pros and cons of business-to-business (B2B) versus business-to-consumer (B2C) social enterprise models Quotable Moments: “As a nonprofit, we didn't want to be dependent on a few big donors telling us what to do. Running it like a serious business gave us the freedom to stay true to our mission.”  “Focus on the foundation of the business, not just the money. If you're not ready to handle growth, it can quickly turn from a blessing into a burden.” “Our flowers are our ambassadors. They go into spaces we can't, and they open doors we never expected.”  Actionable Tips: ➜ Start Small: Focus on building a solid foundation before scaling. Test your ideas on a smaller scale to work out any kinks and ensure your model is sustainable. ➜ Invest in Technology: Use technology to streamline operations and customer service, especially when managing a social enterprise. Tools like Routific for route optimization can be game changers in last-mile delivery ➜ Leverage Customer Relationships: Turn customers into donors by integrating donation opportunities into your sales process and engaging them through events like farm tours. ➜ Do B2B and B2C: Diversify your income streams by engaging in both B2B and B2C models. This approach not only stabilizes revenue but also opens unexpected doors for media coverage and large grants. ➜ Prepare for Growth: As your organization scales, be ready to tackle complex challenges, including human resources, compliance, and maintaining quality across a growing operation. Connect with Us: Connect with Maria Connect with Quilen: Personal Instagram, Southside Blooms, Chicago Eco House Chicago Eco House: Website Southside Blooms: Website Support the Podcast: If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe to The Small Nonprofit on YouTube, and leave us a review.

Salesforce, the global leader in CRM, has just released the new State of Marketing report, sharing insights from over 4,800 marketing leaders across 29 countries - including 100 from Ireland. The report covers the latest trends on how marketers are evaluating and implementing AI into their operations; approaching data acquisition, maintenance, and application strategies; and ensuring customer trust and security as vulnerabilities increase. Key insights from the research include: Priorities for a new marketing era. Marketers are evolving their practices in a highly competitive landscape. They're looking to AI - both generative and predictive - to help personalise at scale and boost efficiency. Locally, improving our use of tools and technologies is Salesforce Ireland marketers' No. 1 priority, while outdated tools and technologies/ creating a cohesive customer journey is their No. 1 challenge. Marketers shore up their data foundations. Businesses have long struggled to connect disparate data points to create consistent, personalised experiences across customer journeys. Yet as third-party cookies are depreciated and AI proliferates, that quest is only becoming more critical - and challenging. 23% of marketers in Ireland are fully satisfied with their ability to unify customer data sources. 66% of marketers in Ireland have access to real-time data to execute a campaign. 67% need the IT department's help to do so. Marketers in Ireland use a median of 10 different tactics to collect data, with customer service data being the most common. Marketers embrace AI with an eye on trust. Marketers are intent on successfully applying AI in their operations with the right data, but are concerned about security. 75% of marketers in Ireland are already experimenting with or have fully implemented AI into their workflows. AI implementation is also a point of differentiation: high performing marketing teams are 2.6x more likely than underperformers to have fully implemented AI within their operations. The three most popular AI use cases among marketers in Ireland are: Automate data integration, generate content, and improve customer segmentation/lookalike audience modelling. Full personalisation remains a work in progress. To meet rising customer expectations around personalisation, marketers are graduating beyond broad audience segmentations, like location or age, to more specific identifiers like individual preferences or past interactions. There's also a difference between how the highest- and lowest-performing marketing teams adapt. High performers in Ireland fully personalise across an average of 6 channels, compared with underperformers who fully personalised across 3.5. Marketers seek unified analytics. There is no shortage of data sources, but putting that data to work is a challenge - especially when it demands a holistic or long-term view of data. 58% of marketers in Ireland track customer lifetime value (CTV). 90% of marketers in Ireland say they have a clear view into marketing's impact on revenue. Deeper relationships emerge with account-based marketing (ABM) and loyalty programs. Companies are increasingly turning to strategies like ABM and loyalty programs for better acquisition and retention. Yet many of these programs' information sources remain disjointed, as does the customer experience. Only 69% of marketers in Ireland say loyalty data is fully integrated across all touchpoints. 45% of marketers in Ireland say loyalty program functionalities are accessible across all touchpoints. 59% of B2B marketers in Ireland use ABM for customer acquisition with a similar number 56% using it for upselling however just 38% for cross selling. "Marketers have been quick to embrace the new era of AI and are already seeing it revolutionise how they connect with their customers. They also recognise the challenge, as the potential benefits from AI hinge on managing data efficiently and safely, with maintaining customer trust never being more ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly developing and raising concerns on the battlefield, particularly lethal autonomous weapons systems, commonly known as “killer robots”.The United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) works to increase understanding of the risks and implications of AI for international peace and security. UN News's Sachin Gaur spoke to Shimona Mohan, UNIDIR Associate Researcher, who focuses on the intersection of gender, disarmament and emerging technologies such as AI.

As parents, we're in a tug-of-war with modern technology, trying to keep our kids safe while not stifling their digital savvy. That's why Mark and I sat down with Nate Randall, CEO of GAB Wireless, to shed light on creating a secure digital space for our youngest tech users.

This episode traverses the underestimated terrain of how technology is shaping our children's social skills, creativity, and capacity for unstructured play. It's a compelling exploration likened to teaching them to swim—with the right support and structured exposure, they can navigate the digital waters safely. Nate gives us his insights on the importance of in-person interactions for kids and how even non-social media tech can affect their development.Building a brand isn't just about luring in customers; it's about keeping them close and turning them into your most avid promoters. Nate and I chat about the delicate dance between customer acquisition costs and the golden nuggets of lifetime value, all while steering clear of discount-driven pitfalls. We also take a look at how investing in customer relationships lays the groundwork for a successful brand, fostering loyalty and creating a strong word-of-mouth network among parents who value trust and quality.

While technology has undeniably transformed the way we live, work, and connect, it's equally important to ensure that it enhances our lives rather than hinders them. This episode of "Rethink" invites you to explore non-traditional approaches to technology use and provides daily practices to help you achieve your goals while maintaining a healthy digital balance.The Digital Dilemma:In today's interconnected world, smartphones, social media, and constant connectivity have become ubiquitous. While these tools offer numerous advantages, they also bring challenges. Digital distractions, information overload, and the constant urge to stay online can negatively impact productivity, mental well-being, and relationships. It's time to rethink how we navigate the digital landscape.Daily Practice 1: The Digital DetoxConsider scheduling regular digital detox days. These are days when you intentionally disconnect from your devices and the internet. Use this time to engage in offline activities, such as reading, nature walks, or quality time with loved ones. Observe how this break from the digital world rejuvenates your mind and restores your focus.Daily Practice 2: Mindful Tech ConsumptionPractice mindful tech consumption by setting specific time slots for checking emails and social media. During these periods, be fully present and engaged with the digital content. When the time is up, disconnect and refocus on your real-world tasks. This approach helps in curbing mindless scrolling and improving productivity.Daily Practice 3: Digital MinimalismEmbrace digital minimalism, a concept introduced by Cal Newport. It involves a deliberate reduction of digital clutter and distractions.

This episode is a re-run of a previous podcast. This summer I am teaching a research reading seminar class at George Mason. It's an online master's class for practicing health and physical educators as a part of our 100% online masters program. This summer, I am launching episodes that I assign in that class.  So part of the class is reading articles, and then part of the class we listen to the expert talk about their research on this podcast. These are all episodes that have launched previously, so maybe you've heard them…but, I know there's a lot of content on this podcast and these are all great podcasts! I hope you enjoy them!
