This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_(game) Simon is an electronic game of short-term memory skill invented by Ralph H. Baer and Howard J. Morrison, working for toy design firm Marvin Glass and Associates, with software programming by Lenny Cope. The device creates a series of tones and lights and requires a user to repeat the sequence. If the user succeeds, the series becomes progressively longer and more complex. Once the user fails or the time limit runs out, the game is over. The original version was manufactured and distributed by Milton Bradley and later by Hasbro after it took over Milton Bradley. Much of the assembly language code was written by Charles Kapps, who taught computer science at Temple University and also wrote one of the first books on the theory of computer programming. Simon was launched in 1978 at Studio 54 in New York City and was an immediate success, becoming a pop culture symbol of the 1970s and 1980s Provide feedback on this episode.
Cornelia received a PhD in Philosophy from Georgetown University and holds MA degrees in Philosophy and History from Temple University. She is the author of three monographs, "The Orthodox Icon and Postmodern Art: Critical Reflections on the Christian Image and its Theology," "Tradition and Transformation in Christian Art: The Transcultural Icon," and "Icons in Time, Persons in Eternity: Orthodox Theology and the Aesthetics of the Christian Image." Her earlier work includes the edited volume "Reviewing Orpheus: Essays on the Art and Cinema of Jean Cocteau." She is also the translator with M. Spanos of "St. Paisios the Athonite, With Pain and Love for Contemporary Man."In this episode, Cornelia and I explore how the material and relational dimensions of Orthodox worship—from the intimacy of confession to the tactile presence of sacred objects—mediate time, eternity, and divine presence. We also discuss how modernism and postmodern thought intersect with Orthodox theology, including the challenges icons pose to contemporary aesthetics and the ways photography can gesture toward the eternal present.

This lecture was delivered on May 18th 2026by Rev. Renaldo McKenzie at Jamaica Theological Seminary to students in the Caribbean Thought course. Today we explored the concept of Afrocentricity and developing an Afrocentric Paradigm to the study of the Caribbean or o Caribbean Thought. Towards the end we reviewed the Course Outline.Notes:_________________I. Why This Inquiry MattersBefore we define these concepts, we must recognize one important point:Perspective shapes thought.The way we are taught to see the world determines how we understand history, religion, race, culture, and even ourselves. Caribbean societies emerged out of colonization, slavery, displacement, and resistance. Therefore, many of the ideas we inherit about civilization, morality, religion, and identity are rooted within colonial structures.The Caribbean person often lives within competing worlds:• African heritage, • European institutions, • Christian theology, • colonial education, • and postcolonial realities. Thus, Caribbean Thought requires critical examination of the foundations of knowledge itself.________________II. Defining Key Terms1. AfrocentricityAccording to Molefi Kete Asante and Ama Mazama, Afrocentricity is a way of seeing and interpreting the world from the perspective of African people as subjects rather than objects of history.Afrocentricity seeks to:• center African agency, • restore African humanity, • reclaim African history, • and cultivate what Dr. Mazama calls a “consciousness of victory” rather than perpetual oppression. Afrocentricity does not necessarily reject other cultures. Rather, it insists that African people have the right to define themselves and interpret reality from their own historical and cultural experiences.In simple terms:Afrocentricity asks: What happens when African people become the center of their own narratives instead of existing only through European interpretations?ConclusionToday's lecture introduced the conceptual foundations for our study of Caribbean Thought.We examined:• Afrocentricity, • Afrocentrism, • Eurocentrism, • ethnocentrism, • colonialism, • and the Afrocentric Paradigm. We also explored how colonial consciousness continues to shape Caribbean identity, religion, culture, and historical understanding.Next week, we will move into African civilizations and early African contributions to world history as we continue developing an African-centered understanding of Caribbean identity and consciousness.Bibliography / Source ListMolefi Kete Asante.

Welcome, everyone, to the 2026 series of lectures in Caribbean Thought at the Jamaica Theological Seminary. Rev. Renaldo McKenzie, the Lecturer, introduces students to the course. The Course is held at Jamaica Theological Seminary via Zoom for students enrolled in a four-year degree program. Students join the course from the Caribbean, the United States, and Canada. Prof. Renaldo begins: "Today, we embark on a critical journey by asking an important question: What is Caribbean Thought? Caribbean Thought is a philosophical inquiry into the Caribbean—our identity, our history, our consciousness, and our place in the world. It explores the intellectual, historical, political, cultural, and spiritual currents that have shaped the Caribbean experience and continue to influence our societies today. “The slaves who worked on the plantations and in the factories of San Domingo were a docile and faithful people... of a fine physique and good disposition.” — C. L. R. James, Activity Watch the YouTube Excerpt: (C. L. R. James interview on his book "Black Jacobins" (1970), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUnO8lfoVBk&list=PL7mFlc_qQAIOi9XZUOQ4Rh7FtCrzlKd_h&index=21&t=4s) That quote opens the door beautifully into discussing how colonial narratives often portrayed Africans as inferior while simultaneously depending entirely on their labor, intelligence, organization, and humanity. This is because our history speaks from a position of oppression rather than a position of victory. One that is not “afrocentric” or of a certain paradigm (Mazama, 2021). So, where do we begin this inquiry? First, we must recognize that perspective shapes thought. The way we see the world influences the conclusions we draw about history, culture, power, and ourselves. Example we may speak of Theories and "mythoforms" - patterns by which we organize thoughts and experiences, and we have inherited patterns and forms that are far removed from our centers. Therefore, this inquiry requires us to think critically, to develop a paradigm that speaks to our experiences (one that is Afrocentric) and to explore key concepts such as Afrocentrism, Eurocentrism, postcolonialism, nationalism, colonialism, and decolonization. We must develop a paradigm that speaks to our experiences as Caribbean people rather than merely inheriting frameworks imposed upon us.As postcolonial subjects, we must also cultivate a healthy skepticism. History has often been bastardized to serve the interests and ideologies of colonizers. We must therefore question dominant narratives and ask difficult questions. Do we begin Caribbean history with Christopher Columbus as the “discoverer” or founder of the Caribbean? We know that the Taíno peoples were already here. We also encounter evidence and arguments suggesting African influence and contact long before European domination. If so, what does this say about Africans as sailors, navigators, and participants in global exchange? We also learn that Europeans gained knowledge through interactions and trade with Africans before eventually dominating and underdeveloping Africa while reconstructing its history through colonial lenses. This distortion of history demands reimagining and reconsideration. Thus, we must begin with a paradigm that centers our thinking, our experiences, and our perspectives as Caribbean people. Only then can we meaningfully engage Caribbean Thought—not as passive recipients of history, but as active interpreters of our own reality. Is there a paradigm for the study of Caribbean Thought....Rev. Renaldo McKenzie is the Author of Neoliberalism, Globalization, Income Inequality, Poverty and Resistance and the upcoming book, Neoliberal Globalization Reconsidered, Neo-Capitalism and the Death of Nations. Renaldo completed his Master of Philosophy at the University of Pennsylvania and has been engaged in doctoral work at Georgetown and Temple Universities.

Your Parenting Mojo - Respectful, research-based parenting ideas to help kids thrive
Most parents have heard that play is how children learn. But in a world full of educational toys (even for babies, preschoolers, and kindergarteners!), enrichment classes, structured activities, and apps designed to make babies smarter, making time for play is harder than it sounds. The pressure to get kids ahead earlier keeps building - and the research that's supposed to reassure us often gets buried under the noise. Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek has spent more than 20 years studying how children learn. She's a psychology professor at Temple University, a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, and co-author of Einstein Never Used Flash Cards - just updated for the age of smartphones, tablets, and AI. In this conversation, she makes the case that the characteristics that make play so engaging for kids are the exact same characteristics that produce the deepest learning. And she explains why the push to start earlier and do more may be working directly against what parents say they want for their kids. Questions this episode will answer Did Einstein use flashcards? Of course not! The point of Einstein Never Used Flash Cards is that you don't need to provide direct instruction to young kids for them to be smart and successful. The skills that lead to real achievement - problem-solving, collaboration, creative thinking - are built through active, hands-on, joyful learning, not memorization drills. What is playful learning? Playful learning is not the same as free play. It combines a clear learning goal with an approach that is active, engaging, meaningful, socially interactive, and joyful. Dr. Hirsh-Pasek walks through what this looks like in real classrooms - and in your own kitchen. What is an example of a play-based learning activity? A kindergarten class learning about weather by using droppers and water to measure precipitation, then comparing and averaging their results. Another group acting as a live weather broadcast - a five-year-old using the words "high front" and "precipitation" without ever sitting through a lecture. The episode includes several more examples parents can use at home right now. What's the difference between free play and structured play? Dr. Hirsh-Pasek describes a continuum: free play on one end, direct instruction on the other, and guided play in the middle. Each has a role. The problem is that direct instruction currently dominates, even though children learn far less from it than from active, social, and meaningful experiences. How do kindergarteners learn best? Through play-based learning that is active rather than passive, engaging rather than distracting, meaningful, socially interactive, and joyful. It's not just that play is fun (even though it is); these are the conditions the brain is built to learn in. Dr. Hirsh-Pasek explains the science and shows what it looks like in practice. Do enrichment classes for preschoolers actually help? The research says starting earlier is not better for kids. Kids who are pushed into structured learning young are not more likely to be strong readers or high performers later. The episode explains what the data actually shows - and what parents can do instead that costs nothing. Why is play important in early childhood learning? Because the characteristics of play - active, engaged, meaningful, social, joyful - are the same conditions under which human brains learn best at any age. Dr. Hirsh-Pasek explains why stripping play out of early childhood doesn't accelerate learning. It undermines it. What you'll learn in this episode The six characteristics of playful learning and why each one connects to how the brain actually builds knowledgeThe difference between free play, guided play, and direct instruction - and when each one serves kids bestConcrete play-based learning examples from everyday life at home: the kitchen, the laundry room, the backyardWhy the research on high performers shows that early specialization and intensive enrichment rarely produces the outcomes parents are hoping forWhat the arrival of AI means for the skills kids actually need to develop - and why those skills come from play, not flashcardsWhy downtime is not wasted time, and what it does for the developing brainThe questions Jen asked Dr. Hirsh-Pasek at the end of the conversation - about who research serves and what it leaves out - that don't usually get asked in interviews like this one Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek's website: https://kathyhirshpasek.com/ Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek's instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkathyanddrro Einstein Never Used Flash Cards: https://amzn.to/4dubLe0 (Affiliate link) Want more research-backed tools for the hard parenting moments?

Dr. Hirsh-Pasek describes what this looks like in a real kindergarten classroom studying weather. 14:02 How playful learning shows up at home - in the kitchen (measuring, counting, estimating), the laundry room (sorting, classifying, folding), and on a trip to Sydney, where two kids spent two hours drawing the Opera House. 17:06 The gap between what parents say they want (happy kids) and how they're actually spending time and money. Dr. Hirsh-Pasek connects downtime and unstructured exploration to the brain's default mode network - the part that builds creativity. 20:24 Research on people who reached the highest levels of performance in sport and the arts: they didn't specialize early. They meandered and explored. 20:45 Jen asks Dr. Hirsh-Pasek about the relationship between research and culture - how research doesn't just reflect ideas about childhood, it shapes them. 24:11 A look back at Becoming Brilliant and the six C's: Collaborate, Communicate, Content, Critical Thinking, Creative Innovation, and Confidence to try, fail, and keep going. Why do these matter more than ever in an AI world? 26:11 Where to find Dr. Hirsh-Pasek and her work. 26:53 Jen's closing thoughts - including a note that some content in the book raised questions she couldn't fully explore in this conversation, and an open invitation to join Parenting Membership.

O incidente ocorreu quando um homem armado efetuou disparos no saguão do hotel, ferindo um agente de segurança. Trump e a primeira-dama, Melania, foram escoltados para fora do salão enquanto convidados buscavam abrigo sob as mesas. O atirador, identificado como um homem de 31 anos residente na Califórnia, foi detido no local. Em pronunciamento posterior, Trump elogiou a rapidez das forças de segurança e confirmou que o agente baleado está em boas condições. O Instituto Nacional do Seguro Social (INSS) realiza neste fim de semana um mutirão nacional focado em perícias médicas para agilizar a concessão de benefícios como o auxílio-doença e o BPC. A meta é realizar 19 mil atendimentos extras em agências distribuídas por todo o país, priorizando as regiões com maior tempo de espera e represamento de processos. A ação faz parte do Programa de Enfrentamento à Fila da Previdência Social, que busca reduzir o prazo médio de concessão para o limite legal de 45 dias. Em entrevista exclusiva ao Jornal da Manhã, o consultor e professor da Temple University, Lucas de Souza Martins, analisou o impacto do atentado contra Donald Trump ocorrido no hotel Washington Hilton. Martins traçou um paralelo histórico imediato, lembrando que o local foi o mesmo onde, em 1981, o então presidente Ronald Reagan foi baleado por John Hinckley Jr. A Secretaria Nacional do Consumidor (Senacon), vinculada ao Ministério da Justiça, iniciou nesta sexta-feira (24) a fiscalização das novas regras de transparência para aplicativos de delivery e transporte. Após o fim do prazo de 30 dias para adaptação à Portaria nº 61/2026, as empresas agora são obrigadas a exibir um quadro-resumo detalhando a composição do valor final pago pelo usuário. O presidente do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), ministro Edson Fachin, suspendeu a decisão da Justiça do Distrito Federal que proibia o governo local de vender bens móveis e imóveis para capitalizar o BRB. O GDF recorreu ao STF alegando que o impedimento causava "grave lesão à ordem administrativa" e inviabilizava a recuperação financeira da instituição. O banco enfrenta uma crise profunda após a revelação de um rombo estimado em R$ 12 bilhões relacionado à compra de ativos do Banco Master, investigada na Operação Compliance Zero. Em entrevista coletiva na Casa Branca poucas horas após ser retirado às pressas do hotel Washington Hilton, o presidente Donald Trump classificou o atirador como uma "pessoa doente" e um "lobo solitário". O incidente ocorreu durante o Jantar dos Correspondentes da Casa Branca, quando Cole Tomas Allen, de 31 anos, abriu fogo no saguão do hotel. Trump relatou que inicialmente confundiu o som dos disparos com o barulho de uma bandeja caindo, mas elogiou a reação imediata do Serviço Secreto. O presidente confirmou que um agente foi baleado à queima-roupa, mas sobreviveu graças ao colete à prova de balas. Trump descartou, por ora, qualquer ligação do ataque com o atual conflito com o Irã, tratando o caso como a ação isolada de um indivíduo instável. Neste domingo (26), completam-se 40 anos da explosão do reator 4 da usina nuclear de Chernobyl, na Ucrânia. O marco histórico ocorre em um momento de tensão renovada: o governo ucraniano denunciou recentemente ataques russos com drones e mísseis hipersônicos nas proximidades da zona de exclusão, colocando em risco a estrutura do Novo Confinamento Seguro.

My guest Dr. Shileste Overton Morris serves as the Chief Programs Officer at the Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit and the Director of the Center for Schools and Communities. The Center delivers national, state, local, and international services that build capacity in schools, districts, and organizations supporting children, youth, and families. Dr. Overton Morris' expertise includes strategic leadership, parent engagement, belonging, and education leadership. She serves on multiple statewide and national boards. In addition, she is an adjunct professor at Temple University, College of Education and Human Development. Summary In this episode, Dr. Overton Morris discusses the complex and evolving nature of bullying in schools, emphasizing that it is less about individual "bad actors" and more about systemic conditions and power dynamics. Drawing on decades of experience in school safety and social-emotional development, she explains that bullying involves repeated behavior and an imbalance of power, now amplified by technology and social media, which extend harm beyond school hours and increase its reach and permanence. Dr. Overton Morris highlights that modern bullying includes not only physical and verbal aggression but also relational aggression—such as exclusion, rumor-spreading, and digital harassment. She underscores how adolescents' underdeveloped executive functioning contributes to impulsive and harmful online behavior, sometimes with serious legal consequences. A central theme is that effective prevention requires a comprehensive, consistent, whole-school approach. Schools that implement structured frameworks—such as social-emotional learning, positive behavior supports, and restorative practices—can significantly reduce bullying. These approaches depend on aligned adult behavior, proactive monitoring, and a strong, inclusive school climate. She also stresses the importance of equipping all school personnel—not just teachers—to recognize warning signs and intervene early. For parents, active listening, observation, and partnership with schools are key. Ultimately, Dr. Overton Morris argues that bullying prevention is "adult work": it depends on the environments adults create, the behaviors they model, and their willingness to consistently address harmful conduct. Takeaways Bullying prevention isn't about reacting to incidents—it's about intentionally creating environments where bullying is less likely to occur, which depends on consistent, aligned adult behavior and system-wide commitment.

We're speaking with Temple University assistant professor of English, Laura McGrath about literary agents and academics. McGrath's extensive knowledge about literary agents is the result of her research for her new book: Middlemen: Literary Agents and the Making of Contemporary American Literature, (Princeton University Press), and her own unexpected path to working with an agent. We talk about the crucial role of agent's love for a project and interest in an author's future works; the benefits of being a first-time author; the truth about author advances; why it's not a great time for nonfiction, and why that might change; what the “comparable works” section of your book proposal can do for you; misconceptions about agents; and why it's important to show that you will hustle for your own book.

"Dance Talk” ® with Joanne Carey and special guest choreographer, Kun-Yang LinJoin host Joanne Carey in an inspiring conversation with Kun-Yang Lin, a renowned dancer and choreographer, as he shares his journey from a small Taiwanese village to becoming a celebrated artist in the US. Discover his creative process, spiritual insights, and celebrating his company's upcoming final performance in Philadelphia.KUN-YANG LIN (Executive Artistic Director & Founder of CHI MAC) views dance as his first language. Raised in a home where his parents never spoke the same language, Lin learned to communicate most articulately through gesture and action. Many other tensions in his life have shaped Lin's artistry — he was raised in the faith of his father (Catholicism) in an environment steeped in the traditions of his mother (Buddhism and Taoism), and he navigates life as an Eastern immigrant in a Western society. Lin is deeply invested in the dialogues between innovation and tradition, the individual and the collective, the visible and invisible — “in-between spaces” that he finds to be fertile ground for exploration.These impulses are filtered through his extensive training and performance experience across a broad range of contemporary dance techniques and improvisation practices and movement. Among the primary impulses nourishing Lin's artistry are Buddhist and Taoist world views and the internal energetic flows of many Eastern arts he had practiced over the years including tai chi, martial arts, chi gong, calligraphy, meditation and Chinese opera framed by Lin's ongoing cross-cultural research in dance as a medium for the integration of body, spirit and mind.After receiving his BFA from Taiwan National University of the Arts, Lin accepted a fellowship to the Laban Centre in London and a position there with Transitions Dance Company.Lin was awarded a full fellowship to NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, from which he received an MFA in 2003. That year, Temple University recruited Lin to teach and, in 2008, he relocated KYL/D from New York City to Philadelphia and established CHI Movement Arts Center (or “CHI MAC”)Recently Lin was selected by Metro Philadelphia as one of the “AAPI Power Players 2024” and Quoted by the Broad Street Review in 2025 as “Philadelphia treasure”Highly sought as a teacher, Lin is regularly invited to offer master classes and workshops throughout the U.S. and abroad. Lin served as Full Professor at Temple University's Boyer College of Music and Dance in Philadelphia from 2003-2022. Lin's choreography, described as “deeply spiritual, remarkable” (Dance Magazine), has been presented throughout the United States as well as in Asia, London, Vienna and Mexico. Lin's choreography has been commissioned by numerous companies including Dance Ensemble Singapore, Ballet Nacional de México, Ballet Philippines and Cleo Parker Robinson Dance.Learn More About the Companyhttps://www.kyld.org/Purchase Tickets NOW!

What do we know about their lives, and do they nostalgically portray a past that perhaps never existed? Dara explains why tradwife content isn't just superficial entertainment and represents part of a larger cultural and legal movement to erode women's rights and desire for equality. She also delves into how the attack on trans rights not only victimizes trans individuals but is rather also a move to enforce rigid gender stereotypes for everyone.

Assessing Academic Library Collections for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (Bloomsbury, 2025) provides a practical, step-by-step approach to designing and implementing evaluation projects targeting a variety of DEI goals in academic library collections. Offering both flexibility and detailed guidance, this book begins with a discussion of aspects of diversity that librarians could target in their assessment projects and notes project planning considerations such as defining a scope and timeline. It particularly notes how larger academic libraries can narrow the scope of a project to make it feasible. Subsequent chapters explain different methods for assessing a collection, with many examples throughout. Methods include: - List-checking involves comparing the collection to a list of recommended books. - Metadata searching produces a count of library holdings that contain certain subject headings or use specific call numbers. - Diversity coding allows staff to create their own categories and assign them to books in a sample. All three of these methods can be used to analyze the collection by subject matter. It is possible to use diversity coding to examine author identities as well, a sensitive endeavor for which this book provides both cautions and guidance. A fourth approach focuses on organizational efforts or inputs. This method involves tracking and reflecting on the library's progress towards goals the staff have set, which could involve a variety of collections-related activities, including staff development, changes to workflows, revising policies, or increasing outreach. The book describes advantages and limitations of the four methods, allowing librarians to make an informed choice of which to use. It also offers resources for implementing each of these strategies as well as guidance on creating one's own evaluation tools. Three chapters by guest authors provide examples of DEI assessment projects from academic libraries. A concluding chapter discusses sharing findings and suggests a range of changes libraries can make to their collecting practices. Guest: Karen Kohn is the Collections Analysis Librarian at Temple University in Philadelphia, where she serves on the DEI in Collections Committee and the Open Education Group. Host: Dr. Michael LaMagna is the Information Literacy Program & Library Services Coordinator and Professor of Library Services at Delaware County Community College. Learn more about your ad choices.
