“We are in the middle of a labyrinth which suggests to us many fake corridors. What's the superpower of literature? Literature is like an antidote against propaganda. Propaganda explains the world easily in a two-dimensional way.  Literature gives you a more complex explanation. Literature tells personal stories.”Today, we have a conversation about time, memory, and the bittersweet geography of human sorrow. Georgi Gospodinovis widely considered one of the most daring voices in contemporary European literature. His acclaimed novel, The Physics of Sorrow, won the prestigious Jan Michalski Prize in 2016, blending ancient myth and quantum physics to chronicle the delicate realities of post-socialist Eastern Europe. Joining him is Angela Rodel, a brilliant linguist, musician, and translator whose profound artistic empathy carries the flowing cadences of the Bulgarian language into vivid English. Together, this extraordinary creative duo made history by winning the 2023 International Booker Prizefor Time Shelter—the first book written in Bulgarian to ever receive the honor.Time Shelter is a masterfully dark, funny, and prescient novel. It begins with an enigmatic psychiatrist opening a clinic that treats Alzheimer's patients by meticulously recreating past decades to match their internal clocks. But the experiment quickly escapes the clinic walls, triggering a pan-European crisis where entire nations hold democratic referendums to choose which era of the past they will retreat into. It is a book that holds up a mirror to our own world, exploring what happens when a civilization faces a deficit of meaning and tries to weaponize nostalgia.(0:00) The Trap of Nostalgia(2:13) The Art of Translation(5:44) The Pandemic of the Past(11:30) Reading from ‘Time Shelter'(14:28) Death and the Gardener(19:34) The Translator's Calling(26:05) Cultural Rhythms of the Bulgarian Language(30:00) The Nonlinear Approach to Storytelling(34:30) Separating Personal and Historical Pasts(42:55) Storytelling vs Propaganda(47:19) Bodies, Animals and the Loneliness of the Minotaur(56:00) Reading ' Eight Minutes and 19 Seconds'(1:00:28) What makes a good life?

Amanda L. Andrei's parents—he Romanian, she Filipina—met in Bucharest as two free spirits in the 1970s and then moved to the United States. Growing up in Virginia, Andrei didn't speak Romanian, but came to the language—and translation—in adulthood. “When I am translating a Romanian text with my dad, I feel as if I am in rehearsal,” she writes. “My father becomes my scene partner, volleying the words back and forth until we find the ones that satisfy us.” When she views a French performance of a Romanian play that they translated, she reconsiders the relationships that led to that moment: her father's with her mother, his homeland, and his languages; hers with translation, theater, and familial diaspora. “Speaking a language, falling in love, leaving a home, applying for citizenship, all could go down thousands of paths,” she writes in our Summer issue, “but somehow, only one version of a life exists.” Andrei joins us this week on Smarty Pants to discuss her essay, “Found in Translation,” and her ever-evolving relationship with language—and her father.Amanda L.

A dying patient speaks of impossible places no uneducated man should be able to imagine, pushing one young doctor toward an experiment that could shatter everything he believes about the sleeping mind. What answers await beyond ordinary consciousness—and what might still be searching the night sky when the experiment is over? Beyond the Wall of Sleep by H. P. Lovecraft. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast. We spend a lot of time thinking about the stories, the pacing, and giving each character a distinct voice. So this review on Apple Podcasts US from “California listeners” really hit home: “Perfectly narrated science fiction stories! Wonderful range of voices that bring each character to life, narrator with clear enunciation and pleasant resonance.” Thanks California!! It's gratifying to know those details are noticed. Thank you for listening! We hadn't planned to deliver any H. P. Lovecraft stories on the podcast, but you've made your voices heard. The requests just keep coming, so we're happy to bring you more of the Lovecraft tales you've been asking for. This story was first published in the amateur publication Pine Cones in October 1919 just a few months after it was written. Almost 20 years later it appeared in the March 1938 issue of Weird Tales magazine on page 331, Beyond the Wall of Sleep by H. P. Lovecraft… Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, A world that should have bloomed again instead slips beyond reach, leaving one visitor to wonder whether the greatest mistake was made long before humans ever arrived.

Hi, friends, and welcome back to our series, "On Becoming: The Art and Craft of Personal Storytelling." I'm Tom Campbell, former Pomona and Holy Cross admissions officer, and one of the CEG podcast co-hosts, alongside my lovely colleagues Tillie and Ethan. In this series, we take a close look at personal essays written by real students, talking about why we love them, what makes them work, and how they came to be.  In this episode, we break down an essay that we're calling The Translator. This student, who worked with one of our amazing essay coaches Lavon Robinson a few years back, wanted to share how he acted as a translator not just for his brother on the autism spectrum, but for other neurodivergent students in his school and wider community. It's a model for anyone who wants to write an essay about a relationship that's been particularly meaningful to them, but is nervous about making the essay too much about the other person. If you're the kind of person who enjoys seeing how things get made, whether it's a great meal, a film scene, or a piece of writing, I have a feeling you might enjoy this one. Lavon (he/him) has always been a coach. From managing fundraising campaigns, teaching swimming, and school counseling, Lavon finds joy in coaching others to find their joy. He earned his BA in Business from Illinois Wesleyan University and his M.ED from DePaul University. He also has a College Counseling Certificate from UCSD. He currently works as a school counselor at an independent school in Chicago after spending eight years as a college counselor at a large suburban high school. He has hosted webinars with 500+ families on how to best work with their school counselor and visited various colleges around the country for professional development. His students have been accepted to colleges including Northwestern University, the University of Southern California, Williams College, and the University of Florida. At the core of his work is building connections with unconditional positive regard as he works with students to build trust and reach their potential. He understands the college admissions process is stressful and takes the most joy in supporting students to relieve anxiety while going through the process. We hope you enjoy.    Play-by-Play 3:15 – Lavon shares his path from school counseling to becoming a CEG essay coach 6:52 – What kinds of students does Lavon tend to be matched with as a CEG essay coach? 9:29 – How does Lavon use CEG's brainstorming exercises to help students reflect, even outside of essay coaching? 10:49 – What has surprised Lavon most about being an essay coach, and how has his perspective grown? 13:01 – Do college essays need a title? 14:06 – Lavon introduces the student behind "The Translator," and how he arrived at CEG already deep into drafts about his brother 18:41 – How many drafts did it take to find the right balance between the brother and the student himself? 21:16 – Which brainstorming exercises helped unlock the "translator" theme? 27:01 – How does Lavon connect a student's roles and identities to CEG's admission nutrients?  31:30 – Lavon reads the essay, which we're calling "The Translator"  36:27 – Which admission nutrients show up throughout the essay? 38:26 – What works well in this student's opening paragraph?  45:13 – How did Lavon help the student build more vulnerability into each draft? 46:13 – How does bringing in his own emotional experience keep the essay focused on the student, even while writing about his brother? 47:52 – How can students write about their extracurriculars without over-explaining them? 53:00 – How did Lavon coach the student to write about his research in an accessible way? 54:11 – What does it mean to be "strategically general" in a college essay? 59:48 – How does closing turn the essay's focus back to the student himself? 1:04:53 – Why small, specific details are what take an essay from good to great 1:05:59 – Closing thoughts    Resources "The Translator" Essay CEG's College Admission Nutrients (aka The Great College Application Test) College Essay Guy's Personal Statement Resources College Essay Guy's College Application Hub

Alan Philps tells of Nadia, a translator at the Metropol Hotel who became a "secret dissident" after losing faith in Stalinism during the purges. She trusted Australian journalist Godfrey Blunden, believing him to be more reliable than "snobbish" British or career-driven American reporters. She shared her true, dangerous views with him and even took him to visit private Soviet homes, which was strictly forbidden. However, Blunden betrayed her by publishing a novel that thinly disguised her identity and the locations she had shown him. This led to Nadia's arrest in 1948 and an eight-year sentence in the Gulag, where she faced starvation. Her husband and daughter were also broken by the system. Nadia eventually survived, moving to Israel in the 1970s. Philps notes that her grandson is now a professor in Jerusalem, offering a rare "happy ending" amidst the broader tragedy of Soviet brutality. (3)1906

Alan Philps tells the story of Tanya, a 28-year-old woman who used her English skills to escape a life of poverty and suspicion in Moscow. Denied education due to her "bourgeois" background, she became a translator at the Metropol for correspondent Ronnie Matthews. Matthews, a heavy-drinking but devoted reporter, eventually begged her to marry him. The Soviets attempted to prevent her departure, but Matthews refused to leave the country without her, forcing the authorities to grant her an exit permit. In Cairo, Tanya's glamorous lifestyle and tennis matches with a British general sparked unfounded rumors that she was a Soviet "honey trap." Despite being under surveillance by both British and Soviet intelligence, she successfully built a new life in the West. Her story was later chronicled in a 1993 BBCdocumentary titled Going Back.

In fünf Monaten ist Premiere. Das steht schon in den Programmfahnen. Was genau gespielt wird, steht noch nicht fest, es gibt nur ein paar vage Ideen. Aber das ist das Prinzip des inklusiven Theaterensembles „I can be your translator“ aus Dortmund, einer Mixed Ability Gruppe, die aus Menschen mit und welchen ohne Behinderung besteht... Sascha Wundes war über fünf Monate bei der Entstehung eines Theaterstücks dabei. Und beobachtete den Mut und den Stolz, mit denen dieses Ensemble ins Offene springt. Ein Feature, das Spaß macht!

Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' has brought one of history's oldest stories back into the spotlight. It's also sparked a fresh debate about what it means to adapt a classic. Today, Derek is joined by acclaimed classicist and translator Emily Wilson, whose celebrated translation of 'The Odyssey' helped inspire Nolan's film. They explore why Homer's epic has remained the foundation of so much Western storytelling and what gets lost and gained in the act of translating. Thenm Wilson gives her take on Nolan's adaptation. She lets us know what it captures brilliantly, where it departs from Homer, and what those changes reveal about both the ancient world and our own.

My guest for today is Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma — an American writer, poet, and translator who has spent more than two decades of his life inside the Tamil language. Thomas first arrived in Madurai in 1998, almost by accident, planning to study Spanish and ecological ethics, and instead found himself apprenticed to a remarkable teacher, Dr. K. V. Ramakoti.That apprenticeship reshaped his entire life, drawing him from spoken Tamil into the world of Sangam poetry, Avvaiyar, and eventually the Tirukkural. His books include Give, Eat, and Live: Poems of Avvaiyar, A Feast for the Tongue, and his celebrated translation The Kural: Tiruvalluvar's Tirukkural, published by Beacon Press and honoured with Tamil Nadu's Ancient Tamil Literature Promotion Award.Alongside his Tamil work, Thomas has spent years translating Juan Rulfo's Spanish classic Pedro Páramo, and he is now writing his own novel, The Pines, about music, adolescence, and time. In our conversation, we talk about his childhood love of books and magic, the strange twist of fate that took him to Tamil Nadu instead of Mexico, and how learning Tamil changed the very way he perceives the world.We also talk about how translation found him — not as a plan, but as an inner necessity to share the poems he had fallen in love with. He speaks about the twelve years his teacher spent quietly nudging him towards translating the Tirukkural, his deep love of one-on-one teaching, and his continuing engagement with contemporary Tamil writers like Perumal Murugan.It is a rich, wide-ranging conversation about language, devotion, and the long, patient work of carrying words across worlds.

Once a month I teach a tafseer class at UWA, and tonight we finished Surah al-Fatihah. We started back in April, paused in May while I was at Hajj, and picked it up again this week.This is the most important surah in our lives. We recite it at least seventeen times a day — and there has to be a reason Allah asks that of us. The whole reason we sit with it is to see how seven short verses, recited so many times that they almost slip past us, are actually a map for how to live.We began by going back over the verses we'd already covered, because the later ones don't land without them.Grounded is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Bismillah — In the name of AllahThe first thing to notice is that Bismillah isn't a complete sentence. “In the name of Allah” — and then what? In Arabic this is a shibh jumla, a fragment. The sentence is left open on purpose, and you complete it with your action.That's why the Prophet ﷺ said that anything important begun without Bismillah is cut off from blessing. When you say it, you're invoking Allah's help before you've even started.From that one word, three things follow.First, it's a filter. When you put Allah's name on something, the wrong things become hard to do. I mentioned the Indonesian sheikh who was asked whether smoking is makruh or haram. He refused to give a fiqhi answer. He simply asked the man: can you say Bismillah before you smoke? The man said no, of course not, it wouldn't be appropriate. Then you already know the answer. Put a Bismillah in front of a thing, and you find out very quickly what it's worth.Second, it's a mindset. When you do something in the name of someone great, you raise your game. A footballer plays differently for his country than for his local club — the colours change how seriously he takes it. So when a Muslim acts in the name of Allah, he doesn't do things half-heartedly. The Prophet ﷺ told us Allah loves itqan — excellence, doing a thing to the best of your ability. You see it in the smallest acts, like taking wudu carefully without wasting water, and you see it across the whole of Muslim civilisation. Walk through the old mosques of Andalusia and look at the detail in the calligraphy, the care in every surface. That care begins at Bismillah. Allah is beautiful, and He loves beauty.Third, it's our source of barakah. Because we're invoking Allah's help, we stay humble when we succeed — we know it was His work through us, not our own greatness — and we stay calm when we fail, knowing there may be something better in it. We're not euphoric in success or crushed in failure. We did it Bismillah, and we leave the outcome to Him.Grounded is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Alhamdulillah — All praise is for AllahThen comes gratitude — and gratitude, it turns out, is the real engine of human happiness.There's a study I keep coming back to, out of UC Berkeley and UC Davis. They took people struggling with depression and split them into groups. One group received nothing. One received medication. One was given gratitude work — every day, write down the things you're thankful for. After a month, the group that did nothing got worse, the medicated group improved, and the gratitude group improved just as much as the medicated one.But the follow-up study found something sharper. Gratitude has pillars. To be grateful you need three things: the beneficiary (you, the one receiving), the benefit (the thing itself), and the benefactor (the one who gave it).When a friend buys you a kebab, all three are obvious — you know exactly who to thank. But who do you thank for good rain on a morning you love? For the parents you didn't choose? For children born healthy? You had no hand in any of it. The Bureau of Meteorology reports the weather; it doesn't send it.This is why, for those who removed God, the gratitude eventually collapses — the mind quietly asks, who am I actually thanking? It's no accident that the self-help shelves are filling with crystals and auras and the old paganism is creeping back. People are reaching for a power to thank and finding nothing there.We already have the answer. Alhamdulillah. And the fact that Allah even taught us who to thank is itself a thing to be grateful for — which is why it becomes an endless loop. Alhamdulillah for the Alhamdulillah.Rabb al-'alamin — Lord of all worldsSo who is this we're thanking? Allah is Rabb — and Rabb doesn't just mean Lord. It carries the meaning of nurturing. Not a creator who set the universe running by its own laws and stepped back, but One who creates, sustains, and nurtures every moment. And al-'alamin — everything that exists besides Him.Then immediately: ar-Rahman, ar-Rahim.Why mercy again, so soon after Bismillah? Because it isn't repetition. Imam al-Tabari disliked calling anything in the Qur'an repetition — we repeat ourselves only when we've run out of better things to say, and Allah never has. The mercy here is placed deliberately. The word Rabb — Lord, Master — can stir fear; this is a power that can do anything to us and we can do nothing back. So the instant that fear rises, Allah answers it with love. He is not a Lord laying traps so you'll trip and fall into the fire. Every law He sets is for our benefit, not His — if all eight billion of us turned away tomorrow, it would take nothing from His majesty, and only harm ourselves.This is the balance the scholars call khawf and raja', fear and hope. Lean only on hope and you grow careless; lean only on fear and you despair. Rabb al-'alamin and ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, side by side, hold you upright.Maliki yawm id-din — Master of the Day of JudgmentThis verse is read two ways — Malik (King) and Maalik (Owner) — and here is something worth understanding about our recensions. The different readings of the Qur'an don't contradict each other the way variant manuscripts elsewhere might. They complete each other.A king and an owner aren't the same. I own this iPad — I don't call myself its king. As owner I can use it, lend it, smash it, and no one can question me; I control every detail. But you don't own a country, you reign over it — a king sets the laws that govern the whole. The owner handles the detail, the king handles the big picture. Allah is both. On that Day He sets every rule — who speaks, who goes where, when it begins — and He holds every single soul down to the smallest detail.And notice the word din. Allah could have said yawm al-qiyamah. He chose din, which in Arabic is one vowel from dayn — debt. Religion and debt are bound together, because the reason we worship at all is a debt of gratitude we owe Him.The Prophet ﷺ embodied this. He prayed through the night until his feet swelled, and when Aisha asked why — when Allah had already forgiven him entirely — he answered: should I not be a grateful servant?That's the summit. People worship for different reasons. Some out of fear of the Fire — valid. Some to bargain, O Allah, I have an exam — also valid, also sincere. Al-Ghazali called these levels: the slave who obeys out of fear of beating, the merchant who trades. But the highest is the one who worships out of sheer gratitude, moved by love.An easy way to check where you sit — I use it on myself. Look at how you set your alarm for Fajr. If sunrise is 7:15 and I set it for 7:00, just enough to make the prayer before it's lost, I'm moving out of fear of missing it. The one moved by gratitude sets it for 5:00 — time for tahajjud, some Qur'an, then Fajr. Same prayer. Very different relationship.And this debt isn't only with Allah. The Day of Judgment is the day all debts are settled — including the ones we owe each other. The Prophet ﷺ told us of the true bankrupt: a man who arrives with a mountain of good deeds, sees his scale, thinks he's bound for Paradise — and then the people he wronged come forward. He cheated me. He hit me. He slandered me. His good deeds are handed out one by one until they run dry, and when they're gone, their sins are loaded onto him instead. He started rich and ended in ruin.So al-Fatihah reminds us, seventeen times a day, that everything we do is being counted. This is why the Qur'an says prayer restrains us from indecency — at Fajr you're reminded twice, at Dhuhr four times, before the day can pull you off course. Maliki yawm id-din. Settle your debts before they're settled for you.The turnUp to here, every verse has been about Allah — describing Him, praising Him from a kind of distance. Then the whole surah pivots.Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in — You alone we worship, You alone we askIn Arabic you'd normally begin with the verb. Allah front-loads iyyaka — “You” — and that inversion is where the word only comes from. It isn't written in the verse; it's created by the word order. Only You we worship. Only You we ask. And He says it twice, to drive it home.Then look at na'budu. We translate it “worship,” and we shrink that to rituals — prayer, fasting, dhikr. But its root means slave. A slave has handed over his freedom; he doesn't get to say no, not this one. So this is far bigger than the window of prayer. Every part of life — how we work, how we rest, how we treat people, how we entertain ourselves — belongs to Allah.People hear “slave” and recoil. Translators reach for “servant” instead, and even that's going out of fashion. But enslaving yourself to Allah is the one freedom that's real — because we are never as free as we imagine.Ask a child almost anywhere in the world to recognise the golden arches and they can, often before they can read. They link it to happiness — the happy meal did its work. But be honest: is that the best burger you've ever had? Is that the best playground in your city? The parks in Perth are better. We didn't choose to want it; a marketing machine chose for us.Or take diamonds. You “need” one to propose — except diamonds are neither rare nor precious. They're abundant; the scarcity is manufactured. The entire idea was a De Beers campaign from the 1920s, and it reshaped what a whole civilisation believes love requires.Even right and wrong get sold to us. Things shift from forbidden to acceptable not because the science changed but because someone with deep pockets lobbied hard enough. A hundred years ago, women in Perth dressed almost like Muslim women — high collars, long sleeves, covered ankles. A century later they're barely clothed, and it's called freedom. Yet the bikini was designed by a man. How is that liberation?So iyyaka na'budu hands us a fixed point. Our right and wrong, our values, our whole standard comes from Allah alone — and that's exactly what makes us stable when everything else is being marketed at us. We reaffirm it seventeen times a day.And iyyaka nasta'in — only You we ask for help. Of course we ask people for help too. But a believer knows that if someone helps me, the help still came through Allah. When I drink to quench my thirst, it isn't the water doing it — it's Allah, using the water as His means. Even so, the Prophet ﷺ told us that whoever doesn't thank people hasn't truly thanked Allah. So this isn't an excuse to skip past gratitude to the person in front of you. Thanking them is part of thanking Him.Ihdina as-sirat al-mustaqim — Guide us the straight pathNow, finally, we ask for something. And of everything a person could ask the Lord of all worlds for — wealth, relief, rescue — the prayer lands on guidance.And there's no “to.” If Allah meant guide us toward the path, the Arabic would include ila. He leaves it out. Professor Quraish Shihab puts it well: if you ask me the way to the musalla, I can point — out the door, left, right, right again. That's directions, and goodbye. But ihdina sirat al-mustaqim, with no ila, is the other kind — come, let's go, I'll walk you there myself. So we're not asking Allah to show us the path from a distance. We're asking Him to walk it with us — every step, every decision, sometimes hour by hour.Then the word sirat itself. Arabic has several words for path — sabil, tariq — but sirat is a wide one. Its root means to swallow something whole; a sirat is broad enough to swallow crowds. This matters. The straight path isn't a narrow ledge for our group alone. It's vast. Whoever prays as we pray, faces our qiblah, eats our slaughter — the Prophet ﷺ called that person a Muslim. We can disagree sharply on creed and method and still not expel one another from the path.And within that one wide road there are subul — lanes. Allah says of those who strive, We will guide them to Our ways — plural. Some people reach Allah most easily through prayer; sunnah prayers come light to them. For others it's fasting beyond Ramadan, or teaching, or feeding the poor, or caring for orphans and single mothers. Different gifts, different lanes, same road.Which means I have no business looking down on anyone. I might memorise more Qur'an than the next person and assume I'm above him — when he may be carrying half his community on his back while I spend my time reciting. Allah handed out different talents on purpose. Use yours as your lane to Him, and leave the contempt behind.The path of those blessed — and the two who lost itAllah doesn't leave the path abstract. He names who's already on it: the path of those You have blessed. Elsewhere He tells us who they are — the prophets, the truthful, the martyrs, the righteous. So this road isn't some untrodden wilderness we have to hack through. People have walked it ahead of us. Find your heroes among them.We're built to follow heroes — it's why influencers now out-earn the executives of the platforms they post on. So Allah meets that instinct and points it somewhere worthy. We should know our prophets. We should know the siddiqin — Abu Bakr, the certified truthful. The martyrs — Umar and Uthman. The righteous companions, each one.If our children can name all eleven players on a football team but not the ten companions promised Paradise, something has gone wrong in the home. I'm not against knowing the players — some people can tell you the exact weight of the racquet Federer uses, custom-made, not the commercial one. Fine. But then let's also know the length and weight of our Prophet's sword. The more we know our heroes, the more we love them, and the more we want to become like them.Then the final turn: not the path of those who earned anger, nor of those who went astray. The classical scholars sometimes named specific groups, but I prefer the reading that looks at character — and it ties the whole surah together.Look back at the seven verses. The opening ones — Bismillah, Alhamdulillah, ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, Maliki yawm id-din — are verses of knowledge. They tell us things. The later ones — only You we worship, guide us — are verses of action. We do something with them.So the two who lose the path are:* The one who has knowledge and refuses to act on it — that's the one who earned anger. He knew and chose not to.* The one who acts without knowledge — that's the one astray. All effort, no guidance, lost despite his sincerity.There's a hadith — discussed by the scholars, used by al-Mundhiri to spur us — where the angels come first for those who knew the Qur'an and didn't live it, before the idol-worshippers, and when those people protest, the answer comes: are the one who knew and the one who didn't know the same? Disobedience out of knowledge is heavier than disobedience out of ignorance.The complete surah is both together: knowledge and action. You know, and you act on what you know.Seven verses. And the Prophet ﷺ told us this is a conversation — every time we recite it, Allah answers, line by line:When you say Alhamdulillahi rabbil 'alamin, Allah says: My servant has praised Me. When you say ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, He says: My servant has glorified Me. And when you say ihdina sirat al-mustaqim, He says: This is for My servant — and for him is what he asked.That's the conversation we have with our Lord at least seventeen times a day. Tonight we finally heard the whole of it.One more thingAt the end of tonight's class, I opened something I've been building for a while.It's called Grounded — a way to actually learn the Qur'an you recite, instead of reading a translation once and forgetting it. It follows the same shape as the class itself: you learn an ayah, you recall it, and then you ground it in a daily habit. One ayah a day. About fifteen minutes.We start, of course, with al-Fatihah — the same surah we've just finished.It's been in private beta with my own students at Qaswa, who've been on it for a while now — competitive enough that some of them stay up at night trying to climb the leaderboard, only to wake up and find they've been overtaken. Tonight I opened it to the UWA cohort as the next group in.If you're a paid subscriber to this Substack, you're next in line. I'll be sending invitations before long, and you'll be among the first outside these classes to join.Stay tuned. Next month, a new surah.Here's the fuller version. Every point gets room to build the way it did in the room, and the app section now places UWA correctly — Qaswa students were already on it, UWA is the second cohort. This is a public episode.

In this episode, cybersecurity veteran Mark Christian returns to expose the terrifying reality of modern data silos and why your identity is the new corporate goldmine. But beyond the firewall, Mark shares a deeply personal look into how he uses generative AI as a "human translator" for his neurodivergent mind and how intense, offline hobbies like Taekwondo and Dungeons & Dragons are the ultimate weapons against professional burnout.

Kathryn was born in the Himalayas. However, both her parents were English and had the same desire of "going out to India, spreading the Gospel message and serving the poor," explains my guest. Living in Vienna as a young girl, Kathryn remembers her parents taking in refugees who were seeking political asylum and it was normal to have refugees sleeping on their floor regularly. These memories had a profound effect on Kathryn and she was certain that this is how her interests in helping the less fortunate  came to be.  Kathryn shares that her mother was not warm and fuzzy but she was from the generation of tough and strong women. Kathryn always felt very loved. Ruby was a teacher and taught her daughter and other children from the Embassy. Ruby was determined that Kathryn would not be spoiled. Kathryn was soon sent to boarding school because her parents were working and traveling regularly. "A little pencil in God's hand" is how Mother Teresa would refer to herself. She never wanted credit  or accolades for her work. "She could be a tough cookie," Spink reflects however, "she was difficult to deal with sometimes, because God was so definitely on her side and that could make things tough. Mother Teresa was so determined, nothing could get in her way." "Poverty saddened Mother Teresa the most according to Kathryn,  "I don't think it angered her not in relation to God. Waste most likely angered her the most but never with God." Mother Teresa was always seeing the presence of God in the poor and it helped her persevere.  "Tolerance was deeply ingrained in Mother Theresa" explains Ms. Spink. "Mother Teresa believed that God was at work in every soul, so it wasn't up to her to try and convince others of the 'correct/best religion." My guest remarks "Mother Teresa used to say "come to Calcutta and I'll put you to work".  This is what this demure but mighty  woman believed with her whole body, mind and spirit. Kathryn even shared stories of the similarities between Mother Teresa, whose birth name was Agnes, and her mother Drana. "The family that prays together, stays together" was one of Drana's favorite expressions according to Spink. Caring for the sick was a common thread for the two woman.  "It's not always about the physical suffering, but the whole process of being abandoned by people" was one of the toughest things for Mother Teresa to comes to terms with, comments Spink. Mother Teresa founded the order, "The Missionaries of Charities." She wanted to give shelter to  abandoned babies and to help the poorest of the poor. In 1979 she received the Nobel Peace Prize and after her death was canonized as Saint Teresa.  I could have listened for hours to my guest share her stories of all of these selfless women. Mother Teresa was known as 'Mother' because when a nun/sister is appointed to a superior position within  the church, they are known as 'Mother.' INFORMATION: Kathryn Spink is the author of several books on the work of Mother Teresa and her coworkers, as well as other inspiring contemporary figures, including Brother Roger of Taize, Beede Griffiths, Dominique LaPierre, Prince Charles' and Lady Diana Spencer and more.  My guest is also the chronicler of the “South African Women's Human Rights Organization.”  https://www.kathrynspink.com/ https://www.harpercollins.com/blogs/authors/kathryn-spink-20167212026170   "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

LESSON 157Into His Presence Would I Enter Now.This is a day of silence and of trust. It is a special time of promise in your calendar of days. It is a time Heaven has set apart to shine upon, and cast a timeless light upon this day, when echoes of eternity are heard. This day is holy, for it ushers in a new experience; a different kind of feeling and awareness. You have spent long days and nights in celebrating death. Today you learn to feel the joy of life.This is another crucial turning point in the curriculum. We add a new dimension now; a fresh experience that sheds a light on all that we have learned already, and prepares us for what we have yet to learn. It brings us to the door where learning ceases, and we catch a glimpse of what lies past the highest reaches it can possibly attain. It leaves us here an instant, and we go beyond it, sure of our direction and our only goal.Today it will be given you to feel a touch of Heaven, though you will return to paths of learning. Yet you have come far enough along the way to alter time sufficiently to rise above its laws, and walk into eternity a while. This you will learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed, brings you more swiftly to this holy place and leaves you, for a moment, to your Self.He will direct your practicing today, for what you ask for now is what He wills. And having joined your will with His this day, what you are asking must be given you. Nothing is needed but today's idea to light your mind, and let it rest in still anticipation and in quiet joy, wherein you quickly leave the world behind.From this day forth, your ministry takes on a genuine devotion, and a glow that travels from your fingertips to those you touch, and blesses those you look upon. A vision reaches everyone you meet, and everyone you think of, or who thinks of you. For your experience today will so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for the holy Thoughts of God.Your body will be sanctified today, its only purpose being now to bring the vision of what you experience this day to light the world. We cannot give experience like this directly. Yet it leaves a vision in our eyes which we can offer everyone, that he may come the sooner to the same experience in which the world is quietly forgot, and Heaven is remembered for a while.As this experience increases and all goals but this become of little worth, the world to which you will return becomes a little closer to the end of time; a little more like Heaven in its ways; a little nearer its deliverance. And you who bring it light will come to see the light more sure; the vision more distinct. The time will come when you will not return in the same form in which you now appear, for you will have no need of it. Yet now it has a purpose, and will serve it well.Today we will embark upon a course you have not dreamed of. But the Holy One, the Giver of the happy dreams of life, Translator of perception into truth, the holy Guide to Heaven given you, has dreamed for you this journey which you make and start today, with the experience this day holds out to you to be your own.Into Christ's Presence will we enter now, serenely unaware of everything except His shining face and perfect Love. The vision of His face will stay with you, but there will be an instant which transcends all vision, even this, the holiest. This you will never teach, for you attained it not through learning. Yet the vision speaks of your remembrance of what you knew that instant, and will surely know again.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Dave wraps Season 7 of Reboot IT with Gretchen Steenstra, VP, Client Strategy at DelCor, and a discussion on how organizations can get unstuck and find success with their technology initiatives. Gretchen shares insights from her experience working across multiple organizations, exploring the balance between strategy and execution, the importance of adoption and change management, and how CEOs, CIOs, and business leaders each contribute to achieving success. Themes and Topics:The Balance Between Strategy and ExecutionOrganizations often lean too heavily toward either visionary strategy or detailed execution; success requires both.Strategy sets direction, but execution delivers results and the two must continuously inform each other.Periodic “zoom out” moments are essential to ensure execution is still aligned with strategic goals.Alignment Across the OrganizationTechnology is no longer separate. IT plans must align directly with organizational strategy.CIOs play a critical role in connecting leadership vision with operational reality.Alignment requires continuous communication between leadership, staff, and partners.The Role of the CEO and LeadershipCEOs should connect high-level vision to day-to-day operations without getting lost in the details. Leadership can remove blockers, balance priorities, and champion initiatives effectively. Leadership alignment helps teams understand how their work contributes to the organizational mission.The CIO as a Translator and NegotiatorCIOs act as intermediaries between business needs, technology teams, vendors, and security requirements.They must balance usability and security, often negotiating trade-offs between the two.CIOs also serve as escalation points when projects stall or teams hit roadblocks.Adoption and Change ManagementThe real work begins after launch. Long-term adoption determines success.Organizations often underinvest in post-launch behaviors and process changes.Preventing “backslide” requires ongoing reinforcement and attention to how people actually work.Building Tech Literacy and Cross-Functional CollaborationBusiness leaders must develop a baseline understanding of how systems connect and interact.Cross-functional planning (marketing, finance, IT, membership) helps surface risks early.Mapping the full customer journey, from awareness to transaction to delivery, improves outcomes.

Hello voices from the bench community, John Wilson here and I wanted to share some news about the evolution of the Programill lineup. Most importantly, Ivoclar's new PrograMill 7. What stands out right away is the reduced air consumption this mill requires, but what you'll notice first is that impressive new touchscreen. For us, the biggest advantage has been increased spindle power. My laboratory's known for these larger cases with complex geometries, and I can tell you that extra power really makes a difference. Next time you see your Ivoclar representative, be sure to ask about the PrograMill 7 and tell them John Wilson sent you. Thank you. At exocad Insights in beautiful Mallorca, we finally caught up with Felix from Imagine USA—and the timing couldn't have been better. As an exocad dealer on the front lines of digital dentistry, Felix shared his excitement about the strong turnout, the familiar faces, and most importantly, the innovation coming from exocad. What stood out most? The new exocad Hub and its cloud-based capabilities, along with powerful AI-driven tools inside DentalDB designed for efficient batch processing. For Felix and the Imagine team, it's not just about seeing what's new—it's about putting it to the test. By running new features through their own production facility first, they ensure real-world performance before bringing solutions to their customers. Beyond the technology, Felix emphasized the value of being there in person—connecting face-to-face with partners, having meaningful conversations, and stepping back to see where the industry is headed. And of course, doing it all in Mallorca doesn't hurt either. "LIVE" again at the 2026 DLAT meeting, two very different conversations came together around one common theme: the future of dental technology is still being shaped by passionate people willing to learn, teach, and adapt. First, the podcast catches up with returning guest Tiffany Prater from Destination Orthodontic Lab, who shares how her lab journey has evolved from running a large commercial space with employees to building a smaller, more personal business focused on private practices and hands-on craftsmanship. Alongside her is Sydney Ribera, a young technician discovering orthodontics through mentorship, creativity, and a fascination with bending wire and pouring colorful acrylic retainers. The conversation dives into the realities of learning ortho in today's digital world, the importance of organizations like the Orthodontic Resource Group, and why mentorship still matters more than ever in a profession where most of the training happens shoulder-to-shoulder. Then the crew sits down with Marlin Gohn from Argen to talk about everything from next-generation zirconia to massive dental labs in China and the surprisingly common mistakes labs make when choosing disc sizes for milling. Marlin breaks down Argen's new gradient translucency zirconia, explains why nesting strategy matters more than most labs realize, and shares real-world troubleshooting tips that can save labs time, money, and remakes. The conversation also wanders through SLM frameworks, milled gold crowns, PFMs, translating lectures in China, and why some old-school techniques still outperform the newest trends. Special Guests: Marlin Gohn CDT, Sydney Ribera, and Tiffany Prater CDT.

This week on Sinica, in a special episode recorded as a live joint webcast with NYRB/Poets and Equator Magazine, I sit down with Eleanor Goodman — poet, scholar, research associate at Harvard's Fairbank Center, and one of the most accomplished translators working between Chinese and English — to talk about the extraordinary Sichuan-born poet Zheng Xiaoqiong (郑小琼).Born in 1980 in a mountain village, trained as a nurse, Zheng joined the great tide of internal migration in her early 20s, ending up on the assembly line of a hardware factory in Dongguan in the Pearl River Delta. She picked up a pen after a workplace injury — part of her finger taken off by a lathe — and what came out across poems, essays, and reportage has made her one of the most singular voices in contemporary Chinese literature. Her trajectory from the assembly line to the editorial desk of an official literary magazine is, as far as I know, essentially without parallel.Eleanor has been translating Zheng since around 2013, and the partnership they've built has given Anglophone readers access to a body of work that defies easy categorization — at once intimate and historical, ethnographic and lyric, tender and unsparing. We talk about how they met, about Zheng's resistance to the "migrant worker poet" label, about the bodily feminism that runs through her verse, about her unmoralizing portraits of sex workers, about lost youth and the way the body keeps the ledger of factory time. Eleanor reads Zheng's poem "Woman Worker: Youth Pinned to a Workstation" (女工: 被固定在卡桌上的青春) in both Chinese and her English translation — and it is, every time, devastating.Huge thanks to Abigail Dunn at NYRB Poets and Ratik Asokan at Equator for organizing this conversation and for inviting me to host it, to Eleanor for her generosity and her brilliance, and most of all to Zheng Xiaoqiong, whose voice — even when she cannot be with us in person — comes through with absolute clarity.Eleanor's translation of Zheng Xiaoqiong's In the Roar of the Machine is available from NYRB Poets. The Equator selections, drawn from Zheng's long-form prose, are available at Equator Magazine.05:07 — How Eleanor and Zheng met in 2013, and why a book had to happen08:14 — Navigating the awkward proposition of China for the Western left10:50 — Zheng's trajectory: from a Sichuan village to the assembly line to the editor's desk16:29 — Resisting the "migrant worker poet" (打工诗人) label20:47 — Conventions of the genre: exhaustion, iron, lost identity, the screw in the machine24:58 — Who gets translated into English, and why28:34 — The translator's ethics: how do you render a factory poem honestly?32:42 — Eleanor reads "Woman Worker, Youth Pinned to a Workstation" (女工被固定在卡桌上的青春) in Chinese and English37:14 — Zheng's bodily feminism: irregular periods, a different way of caring40:37 — Lost youth and the passage of time44:36 — Sex work and women's labor: portraits without moralizing49:59 — Whose work actually counts in Chinese urban discourse?52:45 — Why Zheng Xiaoqiong wasn't able to join us, and how censorship really works54:44 — Rose Courtyard and what's next: classical allusions, ancestral homes, embroidering grandmothers57:39 — Audience Q&A: American worker poets, the WeChat communities of migrant writers, and Zheng's standing in Chinese lettersSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
