The Podly Women return for part two of their conversation on modesty culture and beauty standards. In this episode, they unpack the beauty standards women are taught to chase and the ideals we all feel beholden to: the “prepubescent” look and where that trend comes from, the convergence of complementarianism and the “soft” aesthetic, aging gracefully, sacred bodies, and, yes, even the fascism of it all. Along the way, they ask the larger question: Is a woman's purpose to be small and beautiful, or are we meant for more? Taglines: What happens when beauty standards, modesty culture, and theology all conspire to make women small? What if women were made for more than being small, pretty, and palatable? A conversation about sacred bodies, aging, beauty, control, and the systems that are telling women to disappear. The fascism behind beauty standards. Panel: Ezrica Bennett, a writer and graduate student at Claremont School of Theology, Oakwood University grad.  Natalie Bruzon, journalist, editor, and mom of two young kids, Union College grad.  Trudy Morgan-Cole, noted historical fiction book author and recently retired educator, Andrews University grad.  Ella Quijada, a writer and undergraduate studying science at Southern Adventist University 

This week, the Podly Women gather to talk about modesty: the good, the bad, and the complicated. Together, they reflect on the messages women receive in church spaces about clothing, bodies, and temptation, and ask how those teachings shape the way women move through the world while often assuming men's responsibility for their own behavior. The conversation remains nuanced—can modesty still hold meaning apart from shame or policing?—and explores what a healthier, more honest approach to women's bodies might look like. Modesty teaching in the church lets men off the hook while asking women to carry responsibility for everyone else's thoughts and behavior.  Modesty culture acquits men of sexual misconduct before they even commit it by placing the burden of blame on women.  As women, we can create a different culture for one another by empowering each other to see our bodies with more freedom, more dignity, and a more generous understanding of beauty.

The Trump Administration has been making statements since January 2025 that they, meaning both the President and the Secretary of Homeland Security, want to shift disaster costs, beginning with disaster preparedness and then also disaster response and recovery more to states and local jurisdictions. PEW Charitable Trusts recently released a report, What Waning Federal Disaster Aid Would Mean for State Budgets This is the subject of this podcast. How will a reduction in federal funding for disasters impact state budgets.  As states face growing disaster costs, declining revenue, and an uncertain federal funding landscape, the need to build more disaster-resilient budgets is greater than ever. At the same time, as federal policymakers weigh proposals to reduce disaster assistance to states, they will need to account for the availability of state resources relative to the federal aid they have historically received and recognize that even modest changes in state budgets can have significant effects on other key initiatives.  The podcast guest is Colin Foard. He directs Pew's managing fiscal risks initiative, which helps state policymakers prepare for new and emerging risks to fiscal stability and manage uncertainty by strengthening budgeting practices across several areas. Previously, Foard worked for Pew's fiscal federalism initiative, contributing to research and technical assistance on natural disaster spending and other aspects of the federal-state fiscal relationship.  Before joining Pew, Foard spent five years on the staff of a senior member of the U.S. House of Representatives' appropriations and budget committees, handling committee work as well as a broad policy portfolio that included homeland security, transportation, housing, and immigration issues. He also served as a congressional constituent caseworker and field representative in Oakland, California.  Foard holds a bachelor's degree from Union College in Schenectady, New York, and a master's in Latin American studies from the University of California, Berkeley.Please visit our sponsors!L3Harris Technologies' BeOn PPT App. Learn more about this amazing product here: www.l3harris.com Visit The Readiness Lab and learn about our Next Level Emergency Management training! https://www.thereadinesslab.com/Impulse: Bleeding Control Kits by professionals for professionals: www.dobermanemg.com/impulseDoberman Emergency Management Group provides subject matter experts in planning and training: www.dobermanemg.comCheck out how you can use digital twins in your training, exercising, and planning using RSET https://rset.com/ For sponsorship requests, check out our Sponsorship Portfolio here or email us at contact@thereadinesslab.com

With all due respect to the mighty Union College 75-0 victory over Syracuse in 1891, Axe says Saturday's game was the worst loss in the 136-year history of Syracuse football all things considered. So does SU fix this after a season that has gone off the rails? Axe and Carlson sort through the rubble to see if SU's incoming youth movement, with over 30 players committed in the Class of 2026, and their targets in the transfer portal can fix the problem.  The conversation on Syracuse Sports and our live Syracuse football and basketball postgame shows is always shaped by terrific insight from Syracuse Sports Insiders.  Become a Syracuse Sports Insider today!  Sign up here to get your voice heard on the SU football postgame show and have direct text message access to Brent Axe anytime.  https://joinsubtext.com/syracusesports Learn more about your ad choices.

In July 1925, physicist Werner Heisenberg wrote a letter to Wolfgang Pauli sharing his new ideas about what would eventually become known as quantum theory. A hundred years later, that theory has been expanded into a field of science that explains aspects of chemical behavior, has become the basis of a new type of computing, and more. But it's still really weird, and often counterintuitive. Physicist Chad Orzel joins Host Ira Flatow to celebrate 100 years of quantum science, and separate quantum fact from science fiction.Guest: Dr. Chad Orzel is the R.

2025晨鐘課－每天，都是新的起點 以歷史智慧滋養生活，點亮2025每一天！ 借鑑過去，活在當下，展望未來！ 粵語廣播網站 (時兆出版社授權錄製) https://soundcloud.com/mediahk Podcast@靈修廣播站 9月24日 金色的繩 要擴張你帳幕之地，張大你居所的幔子，不要限止；要放長你的繩子，堅固你的橛子。因為你要向左向右開展；你的後裔必得多國為業，又使荒涼的城邑有人居住。 以賽亞書 54：2、3 復臨教育為傳遞永恆的聖經知識和價值觀提供了良好的學習環境。為了實現這一崇高理想，一些學府已在培訓、激勵佈道士將復臨信息傳遍全球的事上成為典範。位於美國內布拉斯加州林肯市的聯合學院正是這樣一所學校。 1891年9月24日，聯合學院（Union College）落成，第一任校長普萊斯考特（W. W. Prescott）表示，教育的各個層面都應以基督為中心。《復臨評論與安息日通訊》的一篇報導以美好的展望作為結語：「聯合學院將成為偉大事業中的一股力量，幫助許多人最終歸入榮耀。願一切成就。」 事實也確實如此。 在1906年5月20日星期日晚上舉行的畢業典禮上，畢業班向學校贈送了一幅巨大的世界宣教地圖，校長路易斯（C. C. Lewis）接受了這份禮物。學生們將聯合學院培養的佈道士們所事奉的地方標注出來，並用一根金色的繩將學院與之一一相連。這幅地圖被掛在學院禮拜堂的牆上，隨著每年的畢業生前往外國傳教，地圖上的金繩也不斷地增加。 1936年，在增添新繩的儀式上，校長安德列森（M. L. Andreasen）建議將該學院改名為「金繩學院」。他還建議給所有的佈道士發一根繩子，象徵著母校會繼續為他們的成功和安全代禱。對那些身在傳教地不畏孤苦而事奉主的人來說，這根繩子會給他們帶來一份聯繫和歸屬感。 無論你現在身在何處，都請為那些在世界各地熱心傳揚永遠之福音的宣教士們獻上祈禱。如果你認識他們其中一員，可以傳送一則簡訊，告訴他們你正在為他們祈禱。儘管是很簡單的舉動，但這種關心和支持卻能為他們的生活帶來巨大的改變！

He is also author of the popular science books How to Teach Physics to Your Dog, How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog, Eureka: Discovering Your Inner Scientist, and the soon-to-be-released book Breakfast with Einstein: The Exotic Physics of Everyday Objects. In addition, Chad regularly contributes blog articles for Forbes Magazine. Chad studies ultracold atoms to improve our understanding of atomic physics. He uses lasers to drop the temperature of samples of atoms to just millionths or billionths of a degree above absolute zero. At these very cold temperatures, the atoms move very slowly, and interesting quantum effects arise. Free time can be hard to find with two kids and a puppy at home, but Chad enjoys hanging out with his family, reading science fiction and fantasy books, and playing basketball when he has the chance. He received his B.A. in Physics from Williams College and his Ph.D. in Chemical Physics from the University of Maryland. Before joining the faculty at Union College, Chad conducted postdoctoral research in the Physics Department at Yale University. In our interview, Chad shared his experiences from his life and science.

 In the marketplace, on boats and on streets in late 1890s India, male missionaries found open doors: men interested in hearing their message or reading their material. But when it came to entering people's homes and evangelizing women, doors were shut in the male missionaries' faces.  In some countries, including India, it was against cultural customs and norms to allow foreign men to talk to their daughters and wives. These closed doors for male missionaries provided open doors for female ones. And one such woman, Georgia Burrus Burgess, was able to open these doors through a special gift: language.  Guest: Dr. Edward Allen, retired professor of religion at Union College.  Explore More Article | “Georgia Burrus Burgess” by Gordon E.

From its Depression Era beginnings, the school now known as Union College of Union County, NJ, has sought to provide a path for students who might not be able to afford a four-year college education. That mission continues today and the Union County College Foundation is the means to assist students who need financial assistance. Its role today is more than just traditional scholarship help. For example, it also provides food assistance to students who are hungry.Doug Rouse is UCNJ's Vice President for Institutional Advancement. He talks about the work of the foundation and how it serves students.

Political theorist Lori Marso has been intrigued by filmmaker Chantal Ackerman for many years and has integrated Ackerman's work into her courses at Union College and into her writings and scholarship as well. So it is no surprise that Feminism and the Cinema of Experience (Duke UP, 2024) is both an academic and a personal journey into Ackerman's work but also the ways in which Ackerman's work and similar kinds of artistry have made their way into our imaginations and our cinematic spaces. In Feminism and the Cinema of Experience Marso uses both Ackerman's cinematic work and the written work of Simone de Beauvoir to frame a variety of approaches to thinking about feminism and contemporary film. As Marso explains, Ackerman's work attends to and notices women's experiences, often with the kinds of cinematography that are used to explore these experiences in ways that make audiences a bit uncomfortable. Part of the thrust of Marso's analysis is interrogating what it means to “feel like a feminist.” This is an important component to the discussion in Feminism and the Cinema of Experience since this feeling may be a space where we are puzzled by what we actually do feel and we need to accept that we are alright sitting with that discomfort and with that inconclusive affect. Feminism and the Cinema of Experience explores the ways that cinema and film shift our senses, through what we see, hear, and the focus of our thinking. Film is also a profoundly emotional experience, especially if we are in a theater with others or viewing it in a community. The discussions that we have with others about what we have seen and experienced are political—this is a form of political engagement and a kind of democratic engagement. Marso provides the reader with different genres and categories that help us think about films within the broader framework at hand. And within these sections, many more contemporary films are put into conversation with Ackerman's work. Finally, Marso wrote an epilogue of a kind that brings Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie into the discussion as well. This is an important and thoughtful examination of contemporary cinema—but it is also a valuable analysis of feminism and feminist thought as we see it all around us, but particularly in narrative form on the silver screen. Feminism and the Cinema of Experience is fascinating, engaging, and opens doors to new and different ways of thinking and seeing and experiencing.

Arion, Rebecca and Olly recall the founding of The Kappa Alpha Society, the oldest continuously existing college fraternity, established as a literary society at Union College, New York on 26th November, 1825. The founders, led by John Hart Hunter, sought camaraderie and intellectual discussions, creating a forum where they could break free from the constraints of the curriculum. The use of Greek letters and mottos added an element of secrecy, a common feature of fraternal orders during that era. Later, these societies evolved into fraternities with social elements, including rituals, signs, and boozy gatherings. In this episode, The Retropsectors uncover just how many US Preisdents have been members of a college fraternity; reveal Jon Hamm's involvement in an out-of-control hazing ritual; and explain how baked potatoes became an iconic foodstuff for students ever since this day in history… Further Reading: • ‘“Botany Bay”: The State of Society at Union College during the Early Nineteenth Century' (Andrew Cassarino, Union College, 2018): https://digitalworks.union.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1800&context=theses • ‘Mad Men star Jon Hamm was charged with hazing in college days' (The Guardian, 2015): https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/apr/10/mad-men-star-jon-hamm-was-charged-with-hazing-in-college-days • ‘Why colleges tolerate fraternities' (Vox, 2018): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVh7HP_wisw #1800s #US #White #Inventions This episode first premiered in 2023, for members of

You may have heard the advice to not allow your gas tank to get too low before refueling. Is that really necessary? What's the harm if you let it go to E? And can't you just go by the thing on your dashboard that tells you how many miles until empty? This episode begins with an important explanation. https://www.bostonherald.com/2021/07/27/2386931/ Do you have things in your home you never use? Who doesn't? Clothes, appliances, books you will never read, and the list goes on. You probably even have boxes of things and you don't even remember what's inside those boxes. Getting rid of old stuff is hard for many of us – even if we never plan to use it. It turns out though, that if you could just get started you will likely find the experience rather satisfying according to Matt Paxton. Matt has spent over 20 years helping people confront their stuff. He was a featured cleaner on the TV show Hoarders and hosts the PBS series “Legacy List with Matt Paxton”. Matt is also author of the book Keep the Memories Lose the Stuff (https://amzn.to/3tWDiyj). Listen as he joins me to offer some great advice. We all experience the passage of time. Yet how we measure time has changed a lot. For most of human history, knowing the precise time wasn't all that that important. Today however, we use amazingly sophisticated instruments to keep very precise time all around the world. It is an absolute necessity. Joining me to explain why and discuss the fascinating story of how we keep time is Chad Orzel. He is an associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Union College in Schenectady, NY and author of the book A Brief History of Timekeeping: The Science of Marking Time, from Stonehenge to Atomic Clocks (https://amzn.to/3H9lVOI) Sometimes when you look at the front of a car, it seems to resemble a human face which sort of gives it a sense of personality. Some cars look happy while other cars have a more serious - almost intimidating or aggressive “faces.” You may have wondered if that was intentional or just a coincidence?
