The Fall of Patroclus and the Killing Machine. Guest: Professor Emily Wilson. The turning point of the epic occurs when Patroclus enters the battle wearing Achilles' armor to deceive the Trojans and save the Greek ships. Ignoring Achilles' warning to return quickly, Patroclus is driven by a desire for honor and continues his assault until he is stripped of his armor by Apollo and killed by Hector. This loss transforms Achilles into a terrifying "killing machine" who returns to the field for vengeance. Before re-entering the fray, his mother Thetis secures new magical armor from Hephaestus, the "tech god" of fire who works with robotic assistants. Achilles' subsequent rampage is so brutal that he violates human norms by killing unarmed suppliants and clogging the river Xanthus with so many corpses that the river god himself rises in protest. The narrative reaches its climax as Hector faces Achilles alone outside the city walls. The poem suggests that without proper burial, a spirit or psyche is doomed to wander, as seen when the spirit of Patroclus visits Achilles to plead for his funeral rites. 71890
The Detroit Tigers ejected a baseball fan because she was wearing a “Jesus Over Pride” shirt. Staffers told her the shirt offended people and made them uncomfortable. I wonder how many Tigers fans were uncomfortable watching grown men parade around in pantyhose and feather boas?

In this episode, we perceive a dramatic attempt at persuasion, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 272, penned by Madurai Aruvai Vaanikan Ilavettanaar. The verse is situated amidst the flowing cascades of the ‘Kurinji’ or ‘Mountain Landscape’ and presents a hypothetical situation and its impactful consequences. இரும் புலி தொலைத்த பெருங் கை வேழத்துப்புலவு நாறு புகர் நுதல் கழுவ, கங்குல்அருவி தந்த அணங்குடை நெடுங் கோட்டுஅஞ்சு வரு விடர் முகை ஆர் இருள் அகற்றி,மின் ஒளிர் எஃகம் செல் நெறி விளக்க,தனியன் வந்து, பனி அலை முனியான்,நீர் இழி மருங்கின் ஆர் இடத்து அமன்றகுளவியொடு மிடைந்த கூதளங் கண்ணிஅசையா நாற்றம் அசை வளி பகர,துறு கல் நண்ணிய கறி இவர் படப்பைக்குறி இறைக் குரம்பை நம் மனைவயின் புகுதரும்,மெய்ம் மலி உவகையன்; அந் நிலை கண்டு,”முருகு” என உணர்ந்து, முகமன் கூறி,உருவச் செந் தினை நீரொடு தூஉய்,நெடு வேள் பரவும், அன்னை; அன்னோ!என் ஆவது கொல்தானே பொன் எனமலர்ந்த வேங்கை அலங்கு சினை பொலியமணி நிற மஞ்ஞை அகவும்அணி மலை நாடனொடு அமைந்த நம் தொடர்பே? In this trip to the highlands, it’s scenes in the night that greets us, as we listen to these words said by the confidante to the lady, pretending not to see the man listening nearby, but making sure he’s in earshot: “To wash away its flesh-reeking, spotted face after killing a huge tiger, the long-trunked elephant arrives at night to the cascade in the mountains. Casting away the deep darkness of the clefts and caves in those formidable, fear-evoking spaces, as an iron spear, which flashes like lightning, shows the way, he comes alone, without minding the cold dew descending down. Wearing a garland of nightshade flowers woven together with wild jasmines that had been blooming in those picturesque places near flowing waters, as the moving winds scatter its stationary fragrance, he would enter our hut with hanging eaves, adjacent to a field of pepper vines around a short boulder, with his body brimming over with joy. If Mother were to see that state of his, thinking it's ‘God Murugu', she would raise her hands in prayer, would sprinkle moistened bright red millets, and worship the Tall Speared One! Alas! If that happens, what is to become of your relationship with the lord of the handsome mountain country, where the sapphire-hued peacock calls out aloud and the fully-bloomed Kino flowers glow upon the swaying branches?” Let’s walk along with the man and investigate what’s in the hearts of these mountain maiden! The confidante starts by talking about how fearsome the mountain paths are at night, mentioning how an elephant which has just killed a tiger would come to the cascades to wash its trunk. Unmindful of all this danger to his safety and not caring for the cold dew pouring down to the detriment of his health, with his spear lighting the way, the man would come walking on this very path, the confidante connects. Then she mentions the garlands of nightshades and jasmines he would be wearing and the way the wind would be spreading that scent all around the place. Walking in this manner, the man would reach the destination, which is the lady’s hut in the mountain hamlet, near a field of pepper vines, the confidante continues. Let’s make a note of this specific field and explore it in a moment. Returning, the confidante asks the lady to imagine the moment he would step inside their house. What if Mother happened to catch a glimpse of him? She predicts that Mother would think the man was the ‘Tall-speared God Murugu’ and would start worshipping him with a scattering of red millets. After saying these words, the confidante wonders what would happen to the lady’s relationship with the man if a such a thing were to happen, and concludes by describing the man’s country as a place, filled with singing peacocks and blooming Kino flowers. An intricate attempt using the powers of visualisation to get the listening man to realise that he needs to change his dark and dangerous path of temporary trysting and take the road to the permanent joy of seeking the lady’s hand. The subtle elements here is the mention of the blooming Kino flowers, indicating it’s the auspicious season of marriage, and that scene of mother mistaking the man for Murugu is to tell the man the lady is in danger of being placed under guard, which would sound the death knell to his secret relationship with her. In short, ‘Marry her, marry her’ with a movie style delivery! Let’s revert and focus on that phrase about a field of pepper vines. This tells us the preciousness of these naturally growing spices was realised by this mention that it was intentionally cultivated in a mountain field. A matter-fact line which actually implies that these pepper corns were much sought after in faraway shores such as Greece and Rome and that those abroad were waiting to shower gold in exchange of these little black beauties!

What happens when a consulting firm decides to start leading M&A transactions and, separately, writing checks into the very deals it consults on? Clint Simkins of DPO&Co joins host Greg Hawver to answer that question, tracing the firm's evolution from a strategy consulting shop into a fully integrated platform spanning consulting, QoE and transaction advisory services, principal investing, and a $100 million fund raise. Clint explains how scrutinizing value creation plans — including spotting internal contradictions that other LPs never get to — is the first place DPO looks when evaluating a deal. He also details how DPO's commercial HVAC roll-up has completed 20 transactions in just 22 months. Tune in for a rare look inside a firm that has built a compounding edge across every stage of the independent sponsor ecosystem.

After 45 years together, the Canadian band Rheostatics decided they needed a new challenge. So they enlisted the help of Rush's Alex Lifeson, who joined them for four hours as they improvised music and spoken word pieces inspired by the Great Lakes. The only problem is they forgot to hit record. Dave Bidini and Kevin Hearn of Rheostatics sat down with Tom Power back in December to tell us what happened next, and how it all led to their new album, The Great Lakes Suite.
We're back with a whole new season of On the Scent Podcast!While we had a break on the main pod, we've still been recording our Patreon exclusive episodes every week, which you can catch up with on patreon.com https://www.patreon.com/u84518038Meanwhile, we've been busy attending some incredible new launches, many of which you'll hear about in this episode, and Nicola and her husband, Chris, got to have bespoke fragrances made for them by Nicola Pozzani, the Global Fragrance Ambassador and Bespoke Perfumer for Floris London! She's talking us through the entire process here, and you'll hear some recordings she made in the historic Jermyn Street perfumer's office on the day.Suzy also got to experience something rather wonderful, visiting the newly appointed Chanel salon in Harrods for a ‘Grand Parfumeur' session revealing the fascinating symbolism present in Chanel's life, aesthetics, and the new Extrait perfumes. She also attended the jaw-dropping launch of BDK's three new fragrances, each inspired by spectacular fabrics.After talking about the celeb-filled celebrations of The Fragrance Foundation Awards, with more being more, there's much talk of what's on the current ‘can't stop wearing list' (which includes a latex and lipstick scent Nicola adores, a mushroom fragrance Suzy's obsessed by, and a reconnection with a past perfume love).On this week's episode…Floris London Bespoke Experience:https://tinyurl.com/florisbespokeBDK Stellar Silk‘Stellar Silk unfolds around the milky, textured richness of a creamy, precious sandalwood. At the top, a spicy spark of ginger and cinnamon bark is delicately dusted with saffron. Then, the floral heart of iris unfolds, echoing the intimate caress of fabric against the skin, enveloped in vanilla, tonka bean, and the profound warmth of benzoin tears. In the base, sandalwood and musks carry and extend the trail with gentle intensity. Like a precious thread of silk, Stellar Silk lays a veil of sensuality across the skin. A fragrance of passion, it radiates as a luminous halo, balancing depth and lightness to create an enduring, timeless elegance. Around the silk, a universe of luxury emerges, defined by a noble material exploring with subtlety the porous boundaries between masculine and feminine wardrobes. The softness and delicacy of the fabric flirt with the sensuality of evening gowns, evoking Haute Couture silhouettes where creative freedom blurs boundaries, reminiscent of designs by Yves Saint Laurent or Valentino Garavani. In the airy, whispering rustle of muslin, an ode rises to the preciousness of a millennia-old material, noble and treasured.'BDK Silver Ceremony‘Silver Ceremony is conceived in resonance with the precious radiance of sequins. At the top, bergamot, green mandarin, and lemon illuminate the fragrance as light strikes metal, sparkling with a crystalline, vibrant, almost icy freshness, heightened by the spicy brilliance of ginger and pink pepper. In the base, woody notes unfold, dominated by cedar, set with patchouli and oud, and faceted with the amber nuances of labdanum. A textured creation, rich in energy and vibration, where freshness accentuates depth and warmth anchors luminosity. Constructed like an architectural masterpiece in which movement and stillness coexist, it is at once solid and fluid. Like a luminous, shimmering, ethereal garment, Silver Ceremony reveals itself as a fragrance with an electric, magnetic, incisive, and radiant signature. In the 1960s, when Paco Rabanne was celebrated as a metallurgist, he boldly wove metal into his creations, sculpting dresses with the precision of an architect. Thierry Mugler conjured robotized silhouettes, evoking a visionary, almost cosmic futurism. As for sequins, with their meticulous artisanal craftsmanship, they endure as a luminous and precious signature of Haute Couture, illuminating the most sophisticated ensembles with a radiant brilliance.'BDK Oud Paradiso‘Oud Paradisio unveils itself: a fragrance at once powerful, captivating, opulent, and audacious. Dominating with majesty is a dark, enveloping oud wood. At the top, the fresh, citrusy brightness of bergamot is enlivened by the juicy, succulent sweetness of frosted pineapple, while a subtle veil of incense and saffron whispers through the composition. The exquisite floral heart unfolds as a precious trio of roses, two essences and an absolute, imbuing the composition with elegance and depth. The warm base marries shadowy oud with cocoa, creating an arrangement rich in intensity and sumptuous voluptuousness. Sensuality blossoms among a woody warmth, nuanced with subtle restraint. Its assertive character is sculpted by the animalic accents revealed through the potent olfactory presence of oud essence. Complex and surprising, Oud Paradisio is a nocturnal perfume steeped in mystery. In fashion, leather claims its nobility without forsaking its innate animality, which imparts strength and commanding presence. Designers have challenged leather, shaping it into a second skin, Claude Montana in the 1980s with exaggerated shoulders crafted for fearless, audacious personalities. More recently, Rick Owens has celebrated this material with brilliance, transgressing its codes with boldness, even a hint of provocation. Animalistic by nature, leather embodies strength, power, and confidence.'Atelier Rebul Istanbul‘Discover the hidden scents of Istanbul with this eau de parfum. The glittering notes of bergamot is blended with spicy notes of cinnamon, saffron and clove, as well as floral and woody notes. The fragrance of our Istanbul collection is truly striking and unique.' Vyrao Ludatrix‘Naughty notes of lipstick and latex entwine with powdery rose, energising sichuan pepper and courage-enhancing orris to cast Ludatrix's enticing and empowered spell. Tantalising ambrette for igniting arousal is layered with voluptuous cedarwood, sandalwood and olibanum for positivity and protection, while a potent blend of ambrox and musk sparks sensuality. Bold and boundless desire, bottled.'Nasomatto MicrodelirioAll we're told is ‘The fragrance is the result of a natural vital delirium, evoking a flourishing ecosystem of organic disobedience.' Suzy senses ultra-realistic petrichor (rain soaked earth), creamy mushrooms, leaf-mulchy forest floor, vetiver, perhaps some beetroot fruitiness (?) and bags of patchouli earthiness. Lush Ginger‘A fragrance of the sensation of tasting ginger for the first time and feel it warming your body. Ginger is combined with flowers – mimosa, geranium, rose, ylang ylang and jasmine. A touch of juniper berry makes the composition vivid and fruity.'Goldfield & Banks Ingenious Ginger‘Ingenious Ginger is a floral amber perfume inspired by the lush Atherton Tablelands. red back ginger blends with bergamot, mandarin, magnolia, vanilla, amber and australian sandalwood.A world-first exploration of Australian Red Back Ginger, this best-selling Eau De Parfum offers an instant sense of nature in a blissful and sultry destination.'Buy issue 1 of On The Scent magazine and feast your eyes on the fabulous fragrant features, news and reviews in print!

主播:Emma(中国)+ Erin(美国) 音乐:Traveling Light今天是端午节,祝大家端午安康。我们今天聊的话题就跟端午节相关。01. The Origin of Dragon Boat Festival 端午节的由来The origin story is actually really touching. 古时候有位爱国诗人叫屈原,他心怀国家,却被坏人陷害。在五月初五这天,伤心的他跳入汨罗江(mì luó jiāng)中。后来老百姓们为了不让鱼虾伤害屈原,人们把米团扔进江里。久而久之,每年的五月初五就成了端午节。So this festival was established to commemorate(纪念) Qu Yuan. And zongzi literally came from an act of love for a poet(诗人).02. Common Activities During the Dragon Boat Festival 端午节的常见活动Eat zongzi 吃粽子Zongzi is glutinous rice(糯米) packed with fillings(馅料) and wrapped(包裹) in leaves, then steamed(蒸煮). 粽子可以包非常多种馅(a lot of fillings)。The filling is really abundant(丰富的).南方:咸粽子:猪肉粽、蛋黄粽、火腿粽北方:甜粽子:红枣(red dates)粽、豆沙(red bean paste)粽有的人还会用粽子蘸白糖或者蜂蜜。每年端午节,网上都会掀起甜咸粽子之争,这跟美国的the pineapple-on-pizza debate有些相似。The dragon boat races 赛龙舟这个活动在南方可能会更流行一些。Wearing five-color rope bracelets 带五彩绳Hanging scented sachets (/sæˈʃeɪz/) 挂香囊香囊(sachets)里面会放一些香草和中药材,有些香囊还可以帮助驱蚊(mosquito repellent)。Hanging mugwort at the front door 在门口挂艾草It's interesting that holidays can have their own smells. 闻到艾草的味道,很多中国人就知道端午节要到了。03. Why is 端午节called the Dragon Boat Festival instead of the Zongzi Festival? 为什么端午节叫Dragon Boat Festival不叫Zongzi festival?The short answer is:赛龙舟很盛大,具有国际影响力。People see that as a symbol(象征) of the holiday. Dragon boat racing is huge, dramatic(激动人心的) and international(国际影响力的).从1976年开始,赛龙舟就变成一项国际运动了。Hong Kong started hosting big international races, and then it spread internationally. 04. Chinese Traditional Festivals vs. Western Traditional Festivals 中西方传统节日对比It seems like every Chinese holiday eventually becomes about food. 但其实,中国人过节吃的不仅是食物本身,更重要的是在这些食物当中蕴含的祝福和寓意。The food actually seems to mean something.Chinese New Year has dumplings. 新年吃饺子。因为饺子的形状很像古代的元宝,寓意着富有(wealth)。The Lantern Festival has tangyuan. 元宵节我们会吃汤圆。Dragon Boat Festival has zongzi. 端午节吃粽子。For commemorating(纪念) Qu Yuan.Mid-Autumn Festival has mooncakes. 中秋节会吃月饼。因为月饼是圆的,象征团圆。It's like you're eating a wish for your family to be together.So every food carries a story.��那么,西方的每个节日也会有特定的饮食吗?The answer is not quite. The closest example is probably Thanksgiving and turkey.在感恩节(Thanksgiving Day)这天大家会会吃火鸡(the turkey)。但相比于食物,western holidays are often more focused on activities(活动) and celebrations(庆祝方式). Easter 复活节在复活节期间,相比于吃Easter eggs(复活节彩蛋),人们更喜欢去找Easter eggs。Christmas 圣诞节人们更注重的是gifts(礼物),Christmas trees(圣诞树)和Santa Claus(圣诞老人)。Western holidays are definitely more driven by what to do on those days than what to eat.所以相比之下,中国节日更强调“吃什么”,西方节日更注重活动和庆祝方式。But whether it's sharing food or sharing experiences, it's really all about bringing people together(使人们团聚).
The Rebbe advises against wearing a silver ring engraved with holy names as a segulah, citing concerns of modesty, halachic issues, and the sanctity of the names. Instead, he suggests increasing Torah and prayer study, and engraving verses in one's memory. https://www.torahrecordings.com/rebbe/igroskodesh/007/008/2108
We are breaking down the entire short-list and ranking, review, and digging into the 2026 Nebula Novel nominees from worst to best. We dive deep into the writing styles, the structure, the highs, the frustratingly bad endings, and reveal exactly who took home the final trophy. Are these books actually masterclasses in modern sci-fi and fantasy, or did the hype train leave the tracks? Here is our definitive 2026 Nebula breakdown: 7. Death of the Author by Nnedi Okorafor You should read it if: You love deep-dives into African culture, Ibo and Yoruba roots, and tech concepts like futuristic exoskeleton legs. You shouldn't read it if: You require a persistent central conflict, cohesive subplots, or a "story-within-a-story" that actually goes somewhere. 6. Wearing the Lion by John Wiswell You should read it if: You want a cozy Hercules retelling where Hera calls Zeus a "dipshit" and Heracles tries to befriend mythological monsters instead of fighting them. You shouldn't read it if: You get annoyed by overly preachy or cloying endings, repetitive quest structures, or confusing second-person POV shifts. 5. Katabasis by R. F. Kuang You should read it if: You are obsessed with dark academia themes, the dangers of academic flow states, and complex, highly allusional world-building. You shouldn't read it if: You need to deeply connect with your protagonists or get easily annoyed by writing that feels a little too self involved. 4. When We Were Real by Daryl Gregory You should read it if: You love quick, humorous POV switches, AGI, simulation theory, and brain emulation concepts. You shouldn't read it if: You are looking for a groundbreaking, deeply unique masterpiece—this one is cute, but a bit unspecial. 3. Sour Cherry by Natalia Theodoridou You should read it if: You like heavy foreshadowing, experimental voice-switching (shifting to 2nd person), and intense meta-narratives. You shouldn't read it if: You hate a massive buildup that doesn't actually come together or stick the landing at the end. 1. (TIED) The Incandescent by Emily Tesh You should read it if: You want adult-oriented cozy fantasy in a magic boarding school featuring a workaholic, middle-aged bisexual teacher and casual, biscuit-eating printer demons. You shouldn't read it if: A rushed, abrupt ending with a thin villain motivation is going to completely sour your overall enjoyment of a great setup. 1. (TIED & WINNER) The Buffalo Hunter Hunter by Stephen Graham Jones You should read it if: You want a beautifully written, highly literary Native American Blackfoot vampire revenge story set in the brutal landscape of the American West. You shouldn't read it if: You get bored by a monotonous middle section where the central premise loses steam and repeats itself. No spoilers anywhere in this episode.

It's very embarrassing when a man's toupee comes off. This happened at Madison Square Garden recently when a boxer, Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller had his toupee loosened when he took a barrage of licks to his face. In the second round, Miller reached up and took the loosened toupee and pulled it off. He threw his toupee into the crowd. I'm not sure how big a fight it was for somebody to get it. He went on to win in a split decision in the eighth round. One of the commentators said, “Big baby won by a hair.” Wearing a toupee is ok but be sure you get one that stays on. If you do have trouble with it, think of a creative way to deal with that. In fact, any surprise disappointment in life—how are you going to handle it?
A federal whistleblower exposed DOGE's unauthorized data grab — and within hours of Elon Musk publicly targeting him, someone cut his brake lines. California's primary ballots are still being counted, and Donald Trump is already on Truth Social at 1 a.m. screaming fraud before a single race is called. An LAPD internal report just used a word you never want to see attached to police officers: gang. Hunter College Professor and Author Dr. Calvin John Smiley joins us to break it all down.

Why Wearing Sunscreen All Day May Be Doing More Harm Than Good for Women Over 40 In this thought-provoking episode, Angela Foster sits down with renowned beauty expert and author Liz Earle MBE to challenge conventional wisdom about sunscreen and sun exposure. Liz discusses why current public health messaging around universal, all-day SPF use might be too extreme, potentially robbing us of vital Vitamin D and other essential benefits of natural daylight. KEY TAKEAWAYS Many people assume they still get Vitamin D while wearing sunscreen. However, Liz points out that this only happens because most people apply it too thinly or miss spots. Applying high SPF when it is completely unnecessary, like on a dark winter morning during an underground commute, is a sign that public health messaging has become too broad. Our skin isn't just a physical barrier; it actively receives light and communicates with the body's immune system. Exposing your skin to gentle, early-morning sunlight (when the UV index is low) acclimatizes it. Medical professionals and researchers are beginning to speak out against extreme sun avoidance. BEST MOMENTS "When people say, 'Yes, you get Vitamin D from the sun when you're using sunscreen,' yeah, because you're not using your sunscreen properly. You're actually allowing some of that UVB to come through the skin." "The worst thing that we can do is stay indoors all year and then rush out for our two-week summer beach holiday and fry ourselves on the beach... That's because our skin has not got used to the sunlight." "The skin is actually an organ of light reception. This is what we're just beginning to understand, that the skin has light receptors on it for reasons—they're signaling, it's not just blocking and keeping our insides intact." "I don't know if you take collagen supplements, I do, but actually by going out in early morning light, I'm telling my body to make more collagen. So it's preparing the skin." "He says that he thinks that we will look back at this time and our lack of sun exposure as being as damaging to our health as smoking."

In this episode, we perceive the angst of a lady, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 264, penned by Umbarkkaattu Ilankannanaar. The verse is situated amidst the blooming white flowers of the ‘Mullai’ or ‘Forest landscape’ and sketches the suffering in being apart from a beloved. மழை இல் வானம் மீன் அணிந்தன்ன,குழை அமல் முசுண்டை வாலிய மலர,வரி வெண் கோடல் வாங்கு குலை வான் பூப்பெரிய சூடிய கவர் கோல் கோவலர்,எல்லுப் பெயல் உழந்த பல் ஆன் நிரையொடு,நீர் திகழ் கண்ணியர், ஊர்வயின் பெயர்தர,நனி சேண்பட்ட மாரி தளி சிறந்து,ஏர்தரு கடு நீர் தெருவுதொறு ஒழுக,பேர் இசை முழக்கமொடு சிறந்து நனி மயங்கி,கூதிர் நின்றன்றால், பொழுதே! காதலர்நம் நிலை அறியார் ஆயினும், தம் நிலைஅறிந்தனர்கொல்லோ தாமே ஓங்கு நடைக்காய் சின யானை கங்குல் சூழ,அஞ்சுவர இறுத்த தானைவெஞ் சின வேந்தன் பாசறையோரே? In this trip to the forest, we encounter a rainy and cold climate, as we listen to the lady say these words to the confidante, in response to the confidante’s request to the lady to bear with the man’s parting: “Akin to stars that fill a cloud-less sky, thick-leaved, white flowers of the midnapore creeper have blossomed. Wearing huge, bent flower clusters of the striped, white glory lilies, cowherds with forked sticks, along with their herd of many cows that had suffered in the day's rain, with water dripping from their garlands, move towards the town. Rain clouds that have traversed a great distance pour down their shower, and so, exquisite floods of gushing water flows through the streets. With a huge, musical roar, a little confused, the day appears in this time of the cold season. At this time, if my lover does not understand my state, at least does he understand his own, as he resides there, in the battle camp of the furious king, surrounded by raging elephants and a fear-evoking army in the middle of the night?” Time to soak in the rain of melancholy! The lady starts with a striking comparison between the midnapore flowers and the stars on a crystal-clear sky, bereft of clouds. You need to look at a picture of these flowers to relish the aptness of this simile. Returning, the lady points to the denizens of this space, cowherds who can be seen wearing white glory lilies on their heads, and wielding sturdy rods, so as to direct their huge herd of cattle back home, after a day of grazing in the rain. Far away, the rains are pouring with relish and the streets are overflowing with water, as the skies beat their drums, and in short, it’s the cold season, which arrives after the rainy season, the promised season of return, the lady details. She turns her attention to the man, who is presently at the battle-camp of the king, intent on war, surrounded by soldiers and elephants in the midnight hour, and concludes by wondering whether the man, who does not seem to care for her state, would at least care about his own! The lady possibly means to ask if the man is aware of the consequences of her suffering and even losing her life in this long separation. Yet again, we perceive a simple time in life, when parting seems to be the greatest challenge in a relationship! In a way, sad to see this portrayal of a woman having nothing to do but to be focused on where her man was and what he is doing. Glad the modern times have endowed more agency for women to make something of their lives, no matter where their partners may be!

As someone who has been in the spotlight for most of her life, Zoë Kravitz is still finding ways to navigate how she's perceived by her fans. "I know a lot of people will tell me after we get to know each other that I seem intimidating or standoffish, or like maybe I'm a bitch or something, which I think is funny 'cause I don't think that's who I am," she told Chioma on this week's episode of The Run-Through.Often regarded as a "cool girl" for her effortless style and unmistakable talent as an actress and director, Zoë admits she doesn't connect with that label. "I don't really know what the word cool even means anymore. We kind of throw these words around like cool and iconic, and I'm like, 'What are we talking about?' But it's funny. I think in some ways it's a compliment because, you know, maybe it just means that I seem relaxed and kind of comfortable in my own skin."Over the past year, the British Vogue cover star has made headlines with her rumored engagement to Harry Styles. But in this candid interview, she discusses her life beyond the headlines — from starring in an upcoming heist film, How to Rob a Bank, alongside her friend and frequent co-star Nicholas Hoult, as well as Anna Sawai, John C. Reilly, and Christian Slater, to what it was like debuting braids on the red carpet when no one else was doing it."I struggled with my hair a lot growing up, as many Black girls do for obvious reasons. It's not something we see a lot of — or at least when I was a kid, even more so — you don't see it a lot in mainstream fashion. And so it's been a real journey emotionally. Now you also see all kinds of people rocking braids. I think I'm in a place of self-love with my hair, which also feels so nice and liberating."Earlier in the show, Chioma sits down with Vogue contributors and collaborators on the Zoë Kravitz shoot: Julia Sarr-Jamois and Tish Weinstock. They discuss how the cover came together, plus the wellness trends they're obsessed with and what you should actually wear to a summer wedding.The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

“What were you wearing?” sounds like a question, but it often functions like a verdict. From the the 2026 Conference on Crimes Against Women in Dallas, we sit down with Dr. Mary Simmerling and Dr. Denise Huskins Quinn to unpack the What Were You Wearing exhibit, a traveling art installation that recreates the everyday outfits survivors wore during sexual assault and pairs them with stories, audio, and case artifacts. The result is confronting and deeply human, designed to put the work of bearing witness back on the community and to dismantle victim blaming in real time.Mary traces the exhibit back to a poem she wrote after her own assault at 18 and explains why art can reach places training manuals cannot. Denise shares the harrowing facts of her 2015 kidnapping and rape, and the second trauma that followed when police and media pushed a false narrative that the crime was fabricated. We talk about confirmation bias, interrogation tactics like the Reid technique, and the impossible “credibility tests” survivors get trapped in, from being judged as too emotional to not emotional enough.We also dig into what it means to make a problem “visible” when shame and silence keep so many stories hidden, and how the team thoughtfully includes well-known cases, including their work with the family of Gabby Petito. Finally, we preview a new companion installation built around another loaded question: “Why didn't she just leave?” and the life-or-death realities of domestic violence, resources, and lethality risk during separation.

What if the secret to better behaviour support in forest school isn't focusing on the child at all?Lewis and Wem are back for a wide-ranging, woodland-based chat that opens with lime plaster, kilts, and a mosaic pizza oven before diving into some genuinely rich territory: what does it actually mean to take an intraaction-based approach to behaviour? How do you move away from old-school "fix the child" thinking without sliding into permissiveness? And what can a day of interpretive dance, collective poetry, and drama research in Bristol teach us about forest school pedagogy?
