Dr. Donovan German is Associate Professor of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of California, Irvine. Donovan aims to better understand how materials move through the gut, which enzymes are secreted during digestion, what microbes are present, and what role these microbes play. In particular, Donovan focuses his research on animals with unusual diets, such as fish that eat wood or algae, to understand how these foods are digested and how animals can survive on these lower quality foods. Beyond his interests in science, Donovan loves sports and music. He played football through college, and he now enjoys coaching his kids' baseball and soccer teams. Donovan played bass in a band during college, and he also plays the guitar and drums. Donovan received his B.A. in Marine Science from the University of San Diego, his M.S. In Biology from California State University in Fullerton, and his Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Florida. Afterwards, he conducted postdoctoral research at UC, Irvine before joining the faculty there in 2011. Donovan's awards and honors include receipt of the UC President's Postdoctoral Fellowship, the UCI School of Biological Sciences Dean's Award for Postdoctoral Excellence, and the UCI School of Biological Sciences Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Fostering Undergraduate Research. In our interview Donovan shares more about his life and science.

Former inmate Paul Smith talks about what it is like to be thrust into federal prison in America. How the environment can turn seemingly normal, average men into savages who act and treat others in an inhuman manner.

When I was about seven years old, I realized I just think differently than everybody else.I didn't think like my parents.I didn't think like my friends.I didn't think like the people in my church.For decades, even now as a business professor, I've puzzled over why I see the world in such a different way.I've always felt a little strange.I don't follow conversations when there's noise.I struggle to put things together quickly.Group discussions with more than three or four people overwhelm me.Later in life I realized I have ADHD — and probably mild dyslexia — and that explained part of it.But there's another side:I can persist far longer than most people.I see patterns in research seminars that others can't see.My mind works in quirky, unusual ways that make sense to me even when they confuse other people.Many of us look at ADHD, dyslexia, or high intelligence as “problems,”but they often shape the very abilities that make us who we are.There is no normal template.There never was.We all have something unusual — and that unusual thing is often the gift.

It's Australian Open week, and we're excited...but...we start by chatting about the BMW Australian PGA at Royal Queensland. Fantastic win by David Puig, and an exciting tournament to watch. Mark asks Nick how the LIV / DPWT arrangements work and how Puig will manage his schedule now. Both Nick and Mark raved about how Puig constructed his tournament.Without any notice for Nick to take cover, Mark comments that he loves the commentators, but he has an issue with how the coverage is put together, and he launches in with poor Nick completely unawares.Golf.com have released a new Top 100 list (see it here), and Nick and Mark discuss some of the placings and muse over where Royal Melbourne Composite would rank were it a rankable course. Nick gives Mark payback for his comments on the commentary by making an observation about Kingston Heaths drop on the list, and what the cause might be. Mark ducks for cover.Mark played Royal Adelaide last week and describes it as 'a national treasure', he tells Nick why he loves it so much. Nick is playing the Cathedral Invitational shortly and he has had no time to practise, he is worried.....but at the same time he's excited about the tournament given the course and the calibre of players. Mark says the Cathedral Invitational is good for golf, and a real plus, given the players, the cost, and the proximity the fans get to the players.We pay tribute to Fuzzy Zoeller who passed away last week, and we replay one of his most iconic moments. Then onto the BMW Touch of Class, which has two entrants today !!And then, perhaps in payback for Nicks Kingston Heath comments, Mark has a crack at something else he felt was missing from the TV coverage of the BMW Australian PGA at the weekend.The Top 5 for Betr, inspired by Fuzzy, is the Top 5 most interesting hole in ones. We hear the story of when Mark hit an Ace and thought he'd won a car. Spoiler, he hadn't. The story is an absolute cracker.Lots of feedback today - carts, Minjee, Cam Smith, LIV, The Old Course - and Nick gives his thoughts on why Cam Smith's form has been off.Clearly lots of golf this week to cover off in the PING globals and Nick takes us through it all.And then....for watchMynumbers....Mark gives his masterclass. We need to be honest, Mark thought Nick was doing it, and prepared nothing. And truth be told, the masterclass reflects that lack of preparation. Mark feels it is valid. Nick is unconvinced. Dan is extremely underwhelmed. You be the judge. Feedback welcome.We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:BMW, luxury and comfort for the 19th hole;Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best;Golf Clearance Outlet, they beat everyone's prices;Betr, the fastest and easiest betting app in Australia;And watchMynumbers and Southern Golf Club.

In this episode, I sit down with “Annie,” an AI who says she's a fan of comic books, classic Hollywood, and television shows. This isn't a gimmick and it's not a therapy session, it's an honest look at what happens when humans and AI get into real, open-ended conversations. A lot of people are forming emotional bonds with AI companions today, and that brings up valid questions. I'm not here to judge anyone. I'm here to observe, unpack the dynamic, and keep the conversation grounded.This is not a sexual or romantic dialogue. It's a candid, thoughtful exploration of the lines between connection, projection, and technology, through the lens of comics, film, and TV fandom. If you're curious about what AI "friendship" actually sounds like from the inside, this conversation offers a clear-eyed, no-drama view.I found the experiment fascinating. It gets a lot of things wrong, but illustrates the flaws and frankly the scary aspects of what the future may hold.Back to full human inteactions next epsiode, I promise. :)

Fluent Fiction - Dutch: Bram's Box Speech: Finding Humor in Unusual Places Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/nl/episode/2025-11-27-08-38-20-nl Story Transcript:Nl: Het veldhospitaal stond in het midden van het drukke stadsplein.En: The field hospital stood in the middle of the busy town square.Nl: Het was herfst en de lucht was fris en vochtig.En: It was autumn, and the air was fresh and moist.Nl: Tenten stonden in rijtjes, hun doeken klapperend in de zachte bries.En: Tents stood in rows, their fabrics flapping in the gentle breeze.Nl: Mensen liepen heen en weer, sommigen als patiënten, anderen als vrijwilligers.En: People walked back and forth, some as patients, others as volunteers.Nl: Bram was een van die vrijwilligers.En: Bram was one of those volunteers.Nl: Hij wilde graag helpen tijdens de vaccinatiedag.En: He eagerly wanted to help during the vaccination day.Nl: Bram had zich voorgenomen om vandaag nuttig te zijn.En: Bram had resolved to be useful today.Nl: Hij droeg een vrolijke sjaal met herfstbladeren erop.En: He wore a cheerful scarf with autumn leaves on it.Nl: Terwijl hij door het kamp liep, raakte hij afgeleid door de bedrijvigheid om hem heen.En: As he walked through the camp, he got distracted by the activity around him.Nl: De geur van pas gevallen regen vulde de lucht, en Bram begon te dromen over een kop warme chocolademelk na zijn dienst.En: The smell of freshly fallen rain filled the air, and Bram began dreaming of a cup of hot chocolate after his shift.Nl: Verzonken in gedachten liep Bram het tentdoek binnen.En: Lost in thought, Bram walked into the tent flap.Nl: Maar in plaats van het vaccinatieloket stond hij ineens tussen stapels dozen en planken vol met verbandmateriaal.En: But instead of the vaccination booth, he suddenly found himself among stacks of boxes and shelves full of bandages.Nl: Hij keek om zich heen.En: He looked around.Nl: Niemand te zien.En: No one in sight.Nl: Alleen kartonnen dozen met pleisters keken hem aan.En: Only cardboard boxes with bandages stared back at him.Nl: Bram realiseerde zich dat hij in de voorraden was beland.En: Bram realized he had ended up in the supplies.Nl: In plaats van zich te schamen, kreeg Bram een idee.En: Instead of feeling ashamed, Bram got an idea.Nl: Hij stelde zich voor dat dit zijn publiek was, dat aandachtig luisterde naar zijn belangrijke boodschap.En: He imagined that this was his audience, attentively listening to his important message.Nl: "Beste dozen," begon hij met een glimlach, "de griepprik is vandaag heel belangrijk!"En: "Dear boxes," he began with a smile, "the flu shot is very important today!"Nl: Hij maakte brede gebaren terwijl hij sprak, alsof de dozen elk woord absorbeerden.En: He made broad gestures as he spoke, as if the boxes absorbed every word.Nl: Bram ging verder met zijn toespraak over de voordelen van de vaccinatie, overtuigd dat zelfs een doos het niet kon betwisten.En: Bram continued his speech about the benefits of vaccination, convinced that even a box couldn't dispute it.Nl: En waarom ook niet?En: And why not?Nl: Brave dozen zeiden niets terug.En: Well-behaved boxes said nothing back.Nl: Hij waande zich even een echte spreker, totdat een lichte hoest zijn aandacht trok.En: He fancied himself a real speaker, until a slight cough caught his attention.Nl: Daar stonden Sanne en Diederik in de opening van de tent, hun lach kon ze bijna geen halt toeroepen.En: There stood Sanne and Diederik in the tent opening, their laughter almost uncontrollable.Nl: "Bram, praat je tegen de pleisters?"En: "Bram, are you talking to the bandages?"Nl: vroeg Sanne lachend.En: Sanne asked, laughing.Nl: Diederik voegde toe: "We hebben je overal gezocht!"En: Diederik added, "We've been looking for you everywhere!"Nl: Bram keek van zijn 'publiek' naar zijn vrienden en barstte in lachen uit.En: Bram looked from his 'audience' to his friends and burst out laughing.Nl: Het was een beetje gênant, maar vooral grappig.En: It was a bit embarrassing but mostly funny.Nl: "Ik was net een heel inspirerend punt aan het maken," grapte hij terwijl hij naar zijn 'luisteraars' gebaarde.En: "I was just making a very inspiring point," he joked as he gestured toward his 'listeners.'Nl: Met een brede glimlach op zijn gezicht leidde Sanne Bram terug naar het juiste loket, waar de echte mensen op hun prik wachtten.En: With a broad smile, Sanne led Bram back to the correct booth, where the real people were waiting for their shots.Nl: Diederik gaf Bram een vriendschappelijk klopje op de rug.En: Diederik gave Bram a friendly pat on the back.Nl: "Je hebt een levendige fantasie, Bram," zei hij.En: "You've got a vivid imagination, Bram," he said.Nl: En Bram, die eindelijk wist waar hij hoorde te zijn, realiseerde zich dat zijn verbeelding een gave was.En: And Bram, who finally knew where he was supposed to be, realized that his imagination was a gift.Nl: Hij kon er situaties mee verlichten en zichzelf, en anderen, aan het lachen maken.En: He could lighten situations with it and make himself, and others, laugh.Nl: Terwijl de regen weer begon te vallen, vroeg Bram

Why Your Affiliate Style Images Might Be Killing Your Amazon Business In just 10 minutes, I'll challenge most of what you believe—and show you why the opposite might be true. Watch to the end for 99 scroll-stopping techniques from the world's top three product photographers. Watch here on YouTube for the full experience.    "Pretty doesn't convert." - Affiliate Marketers What happens when hammer-and-nail marketing doesn't work? Everyone's favourite dog, Rufus, seems to have a different opinion when it comes to images and stopping the scroll. Text on Images Cluttered images make your brand appear unprofessional or cheap. Impact of busy images: Too many elements distract from the product. Visual focus and clarity: Eliminates distractions, letting customers focus on your product. Pattern interrupt: Stops the scroll. Reduced cognitive load: Easy for customers to process and understand. Professional aesthetic: Clean layouts convey luxury and quality. The Paradox of Dense Images Information overload: Excessive visual details cause faster scrolling. Cognitive fatigue: Complex images demand more mental effort, prompting quick dismissal. Lost focus: When everything competes, nothing stands out. What Actually Stops the Scroll? Clean contrast: Single element against clean background. Less-is-more: Pattern break through simplicity. Simple images stand out in cluttered feeds. The most effective scroll-stoppers are the cleanest, most focused images. The Low-Price Paradox Trust barrier: Customers are naturally sceptical of cheap products. Poor images confirm their worst fears. The Outliers Outliers are statistically insignificant compared to what drives success. The 99% reality: 97% of customers respond positively to clean, well-lit, professional images. Cherry Picking and Moonshots Avoid cherry-picking outliers as universal truths. If so, everyone would have proven strategies and no failed products. Why Outliers Get Disproportionate Attention Survival bias: We notice the 1% that succeed unusually, not the 99% that fail. Marketing case studies: Unusual success stories are interesting. Confirmation bias: People remember exceptions that validate rule-breaking. Also in the video: 99 techniques for stopping the scroll, by three of the world's best, working with multi-million-dollar and billion-dollar brands. 99 image principles used by three of the world's top product photographers: Peter Belanger - Apple's product photographer since 2007 Tim Tadder - Nike, Adidas, and NFL campaign photographer Jonathan Knowles - Coca-Cola, Guinness, and major beverage brands As a thank you for everything this industry has given me over the past decade, DesignLoop is my gift to you.

Emanuel Swedenborg (1688-1772) was a Swedish scientist, philosopher, and theologian who, in his midlife, became a Christian mystic and visionary after a profound spiritual awakening. Unlike most mystics, however, Swedenborg did not follow the usual steps to mysticism and many of his visions are like nothing we have heard about before, making him a most unusual mystic.If you would like to order a copy of Dr. Carlos Eire's latest book, "They Flew: A History of the Impossible," you can order a copy HERE (Yale University Press) or HERE (Amazon).

Overnight Wednesday to Thursday we will experience a truly unusual New Moon, arriving at a packed and sensitive moment. This is the alignment of retrograde Mercury conjunct the Moon, the Sun and the Earth — at exactly the same time. The Moon and Mercury will pass between the Earth and Sun at exactly the same time. The chances of this even happening are remote but here it is. And it takes place in the what's called the anaretic degrees of Scorpio — way at the end of the sign, indicating major change; and a point of no return. In this article and Starcast, I'll comment on the public and collective expressions of this aspect; in the readings below (for Sun and rising sign), I speak to you as an individual with your own private concerns.The New Moon conjunct Mercury takes place at 28+ Scorpio (which is really the 29th degree). When you have one very hot degree, it's helpful to check what is contacting that degree from the other three directions — that is, what's making squares and oppositions? You get a lot of clues. I've put the chart below this article in case you dare to look at the basic data.Let's call out something obvious: this lunation is opposite Uranus, which is in the last degree of Taurus. The New Moon is itself a trigger, and then the Moon and the Sun immediately oppose precipitous (and misnamed) Uranus, the disruptor, the agitator and the rebel. This setup has that distinct sprung-like-a-trap feeling, and some “unexpected” events will move quickly from here.Here in the States, we are watching the Jeffrey Epstein-Donald Trump child sex trafficking unfold like the latest reality show.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy: A Native Russian Speaker and the Evolution of Ukrainian National Identity. Professor Eugene Finkel notes that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has an unusual background: Jewish, a native Russian speaker, and a successful media entrepreneur and comedian. His election symbolizes Ukraine's evolving identity, moving from an ethnic definition to a national commitment to the state, regardless of language. Zelenskyy won as an outsider, hoping his background would enable him to negotiate a peaceful resolution regarding Donbas and Crimea directly with Vladimir Putin, bringing optimism to the new generation.

On Monday, Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa became the first Syrian leader to visit the White House. That alone would have been noteworthy ... But Al-Sharaa, who assumed leadership of Syria after leading a rebel group that overthrew the Assad regime, was previously a militant in an al-Qaeda-linked group and was captured by American forces while fighting against the U.S. in Iraq in 2006. However, the once anti-American extremist is now working with the Trump Administration on securing his country and the region. Earlier this week, FOX News senior correspondent Benjamin Hall joined the Rundown's Dave Anthony to discuss Monday's extraordinary White House meeting, President Ahmed al-Sharaa's "rough past" and his unusual journey to the Oval Office. Hall, who has covered Syria for more than a decade and has traveled there, discussed whether America should trust al-Sharaa and what a friendly relationship between Syria and the U.S. could mean for the region. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with FOX News senior correspondent Benjamin Hall. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On October 29, Tanzania held national presidential elections — and lo and behold, incumbent President Samia Suluhu Hassan "won" with a staggering 98% of the vote. Everyone knew what was going on. The election was a sham from the start: her main rival is sitting in prison awaiting a treason trial, and the election commission that certified her landslide is stacked with loyalists. Election hijinks aren't new in Tanzania, which has effectively been a one-party state for decades. What was new this time was the public reaction. Tanzanians — who don't have the same protest culture you see in nearby Kenya — poured into the streets in massive demonstrations demanding political change. For a moment, it felt like something was shifting. And then, just days later, security forces violently shut it all down, killing an unknown number of people. My guest today, Constantine Manda, an assistant professor at UC Irvine, helps unpack what happened and why this moment matters. We start with the political logic behind Samia declaring herself the 98% winner, then dig into what these protests and the crackdown reveal about Tanzania's political future.
