Podcasts about Tortoise

Tortoises have traditionally been the poster child for slowness. These ancient, armoured reptiles are solitary, territorial and all-too-often dismissed as dull.In fact, tortoises have distinct personalities. They have changeable moods, can learn simple tasks, remember certain useful information for years and even recognise familiar people. But can they play?Hot on the trail of tortoise tomfoolery, Hannah and Dara explore the stereotype-smashing studies that show there's far more to these creatures than previously thought; and find out that these complex behaviours might apply not only to the turtle clan, but potentially other reptiles as well...To submit your question to the Curious Cases team, please email: curiouscases@bbc.co.ukContributors: - Anna Wilkinson, Professor of Animal Cognition at the University of Lincoln - Unnar Karl Aevarsson, Herpetologist at ZSL London Zoo - Gordon Burghardt, Distinguished Service Professor in the Departments of Psychology, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Tennessee Producer: Lucy Taylor Executive Producer: Alexandra Feachem A BBC Studios Production

Imagine standing in the center of a battlefield. The air is heavy with silence and your heart is pulled in opposite directions by guilt, fear, and duty. This was Arjuna's reality when he asked Krishna the million dollar question "Who is the person of steady wisdom?". In this episode we dive deep into Bhagavad Gita verses 2.55 to 2.60 to uncover the anatomy of the Sthitaprajna. This is the one who remains calm when the world shakes.In This Episode You Will DiscoverThe Deer's Mirage Why chasing happiness in the material world is like a deer running after a mirage in the desert.The Tortoise Technique How to master the art of withdrawing your senses to protect your peace, just like a tortoise withdraws its limbs for safety.The Five Dangerous Traps The ancient analogy of five animals that perish due to sensory attachment and what it means for us humans who battle all five senses at once.The Secret to Fullness How to shift your inner narrative from "I need this to be happy" to "I am already complete".From Suppression to TransformationWe often think that controlling desires means suppressing them. However that is like trying to put out a fire by pouring ghee on it. It only makes the flames grow higher. We discuss the two step alchemy taught by Krishna. First is Nivritti or conscious withdrawal which creates space between the impulse and your reaction. Second is replacing that lower desire with a higher purpose and devotion.We also explore the sobering reality that even learned scholars can be swept away by turbulent senses. The senses are churners. They can plunder the mind if we are not vigilant. That is why we end with the ultimate safety net for the modern seeker. In an age of distraction the most powerful anchor is the chanting of the Holy Names. Join us as we explore how to turn the battlefield of life into a field of Dharma.Web version can be found here: ⁠Chapter 2: Sthitaprajna: Krishna's Path to Spiritual Evolution [2.55 to 2.60] - Pragmatic Bhagavad Gita⁠Sthitaprajna Lakshanani, Symptoms of a Stithaprajna, Stithaprajna a person with steady wisdom, Transcendental consciousness, Inner contentment, Sense withdrawal techniques, Stithaprajna meaning, Controlling turbulent senses, Tortoise analogy, Sthitaprajna characteristics, Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, Spiritual wisdom, Sense control, Mind control techniques, Krishna Arjuna dialogue, Sthitaprajna in daily lifekrsnadaasa

Matthew Richards Asks if Ed would peek at Hitler's infamous micro-penis if gifted a time machine. (Consensus: obviously yes.) Gfish Offers to file a complaint against Jay Stew's online bullies.

Speaker: Professor Catherine Malecki (University of Rennes)Even in the context of the future EU Omnibus Package and the EU Directive n°2025/794 of 14 April 2025 'Stop-the-Clock', Companies and there directors must face an increasing climate litigation and this change cannot go back 20 years of progress in Sustainable Corporate Governance which is on the way on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean and in Asia. Indeed, the European Commission has been releasing innovative and often complex regulations at a breakneck speed since 2018 (CSRD, CS3D, Taxonomy, to name a few) and it would be inconceivable to come back to 2001 at the time of the first European Recommendation on CSR and to ignore the EU Green Deal of 2019.Directors have to take into account negatives externalities and stringent obligations such as the Transition Plans. Even if the the next generation of sustainable board directors is well aware of Climate risks, several questions may arise : is there a need to reshape the board despite the EU Directive WoB Women in board of 23 November 2022? What about the pressure of the Stakeholders and the pressure of the Sustainable Strategy ? In France, in the wake of the Due Diligence Law of 27 March 2017, climate litigation is also increasing (for example TotalEnergies, CA Paris, 18 June 2024) and France was the first State Member for having implemented the CSRD in December 2023. Didn't all this happen too quickly ? Can we stop European time when tackling Climate change is rather a race against time? La Fontaine famous fable " the Hare and the Tortoise" is full of wisdom.Biography: Catherine Malecki is Professor of Private Law Rennes 2 University France and Member of the IUF (Institut universitaire de France) Fundamental Chair.For more information see the Centre for Corporate and Commercial Law website:http://www.3cl.law.cam.ac.uk/
