fWotD Episode 3107: Sieges of Berwick (1355 and 1356) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Thursday, 6 November 2025, is Sieges of Berwick (1355 and 1356).The sieges of Berwick were the Scottish capture of the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed on 6 November 1355 and their subsequent unsuccessful siege of Berwick Castle, and the English siege and recapture of the town in January 1356. In 1355 the Second War of Scottish Independence had been under way for over 22 years, after a period of quiescence the Scots, encouraged by the French who were fighting the English in the Hundred Years' War, assembled an army on the border. In September a truce was agreed and much of the English army left the border area to join King Edward III's campaign in France.In October the Scots broke the truce, invading Northumbria and devastating much of it. On 6 November a Scottish force led by Thomas, Earl of Angus, and Patrick, Earl of March, captured the town of Berwick in a pre-dawn escalade. They failed to capture the castle, which they besieged. Edward returned from France and gathered a large army at Newcastle. Most of the Scots withdrew, leaving a 130-man garrison in Berwick town. When the English army arrived the Scots negotiated a safe passage and withdrew. Edward went on to devastate a large part of southern and central Scotland. He was only prevented from worse depredations because bad weather prevented his seaborne supplies from arriving.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:30 UTC on Thursday, 6 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Sieges of Berwick (1355 and 1356) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Brian.

Verdens mest citerede nulevende forsker- Yoshua Bengio - advarer i denne uges Prompt om, at der er mindst 10 procents risiko for, at kunstig intelligens kan udslette menneskeheden. Vi har mødt manden, der betragtes som en af AI'ens godfathers, og som nu vil have verden til at forbyde udviklingen af superintelligent AI. Vi ser nærmere på en AI, der lover at mediere i skilsmisser. En app, der filtrerer dine ukvemsord væk, før du sender dem til din eks. Med kærlighedsterapeut Jytte Vikkelsø kigger vi på, hvad der sker, når vi begynder at udlicitere vores følelser til AI'en. Vi taler også om Elon Musks nye "Grokipedia" - en AI-skrevet encyklopædi, der skal være et "sandt alternativ" til Wikipedia. Til sidst runder vi også historien om, at 82 danske musikere nu har fået nok af musikgeneratoren SUNO. Værter: Marcel Mirzaei-Fard, tech-analytiker, og Henrik Moltke, DRs techkorrespondent.

Helen Schulman is an acclaimed novelist, screenwriter, short story writer and New York Times Bestselling author. In my 40th episode, we talk about the concept of "sympathetic happiness", as she shares her impactful encounter with the Dalai Lama many years back.  She was visiting Portland, Oregon for the first time, exploring the city, when she basically stumbled over His Holiness: he was giving a free public audience in Pioneer Square, Helen had never heard him speak before so she stuck around. His topic was "sympathetic happiness". The idea being that if you can join in the happiness of others, your own happiness will multiply. His deceptively simple and profound theories really struck her - she had been teaching grad school for quite awhile by then, and realised that if she could be really happy for her students' successes, if their joy became her joy her life would become fuller and richer and well, happier. She always felt happy for them, but now she could focus on also being happy through them. It was a small good thing that happened to her that day, but it has really affected the rest of her life and her work as an educator.Once Helen understood this concept, it made it easier and more compelling for her to build programs that she thought would help her students reach their dreams, and also, pragmatically, help them find agents and editors, and outside work.Helen also talks about her new book "Fools for Love" that was just published in July during this recording, and she had a book launch at Rizzoli's in New York City. It's a collection of short stories, that she edited and interconnected so that they relate to each other. She also shares how she learned how to waltz from her grandmother, and how she relearned it with her husband last year in a dance class in a beautiful castle in the South of Germany (she wrote a piece about this for the Condé Nast Traveller).HELEN SCHULMAN is a novelist, screenwriter and short story writer. A collection of stories, Fools for Love, has been published by Knopf in July 2025. Prior to publication, the title story was published in The Atlantic. Her newest novel, Lucky Dogs, was one of Oprah Daily's top ten novels of 2023. She is also the author of the novels Come With Me (San Francisco Chronicle ten best books of 2019) This Beautiful Life (a New York Times and International Best Seller), A Day At The Beach, P.S., (made into a motion picture starring Laura Linney, Gabriel Byrne, Paul Rudd and Marcia Gay Harden, for which Professor Schulman has a screenwriting credit), The Revisionist and Out Of Time (Barnes and Noble Discovery), and the short story collection Not A Free Show. She co-edited the anthology Wanting A Child with Jill Bialosky. Her fiction and non-fiction have appeared in such places as Vanity Fair, Time, Vogue, GQ, The New York Times Book Review, A Public Space and The Paris Review. She is the Fiction Chair at The Writing Program at The New School where she is a tenured Professor of Writing. She is also the Executive Director of WriteOnNYC.com. A 2019 Guggenheim Fellow, Professor Schulman has been a NYFA Fellow, Sundance Fellow, Aspen Words Fellow, a Tennessee Williams Fellow (Columbia University) and the recipient of a Pushcart Prize.####On another note: I am so proud and excited to announce that SHIFT HAPPENS' Season 5 is supported by London based jewellery brand Tilly Sveaas.

As we interact with endless sources of media and news every day, we tend to recognize the big names presenting to us and often have an opinion at the ready in terms of credibility and preference. But why did we develop those opinions in the first place, and how do we move forward with confidence when processing the continuous supply of new information gets more challenging all the time? According to Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, it all comes down to something innately human and critical to our collective success– trust. In his upcoming book The Seven Rules of Trust: A Blueprint for Building Things That Last, Wales unites the origin story of one of the internet's go-to information sources with observations on how the guiding principles of the platform can be applied both on and offline. With 11 billion views every month in the English language alone, Wikipedia may be ubiquitous to us now, but it was a tough pitch at the beginning. Facing doubts from fellow professionals and concerns about the open user editing, Wales emphasizes that the core of the experiment was building a sense of trust. Not only getting strangers on the Internet to trust each other, but the institution itself trusting that people would not be abusive or uncivil, that they wouldn't unfairly change each other's contributions – ultimately trusting that people as a whole had good intentions. Wales continues to stress that trust is not inanimate– it is a living thing that can and should be cultivated. The Seven Rules of Trust implores readers to use these central principles of trust, collaboration, and respect that helped found Wikipedia to maintain connection and critical thinking now in our modern age. While access to Internet resources, accurate citations, and other people's expertise has grown into what many view as a utility like water or electricity, Wales expresses concerns about the global crisis of credibility and knowledge. Wales considers how his organization– once an industry punchline– has become a worldwide presence in the same two decades that the public's trust in everything from information to government to social media has trended backwards. Compiling insights gained from years of experience and reflections with candid lessons learned in the early days of Wikipedia, The Seven Rules of Trust aims to act as an approachable guide to reinforcing a positive loop of accountability and creativity that can stand the test of time. Jimmy Wales is the founder of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation. Named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People, he has been recognized by the World Economic Forum for his contributions to the global public good. He lives with his family in London.

fWotD Episode 3106: Gunpowder Plot Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 5 November 2025, is Gunpowder Plot.The Gunpowder Plot of 1605, in earlier centuries often called the Gunpowder Treason Plot or the Jesuit Treason, was an unsuccessful attempted regicide against King James VI and I by a group of English Catholics, led by Robert Catesby.The plan was to blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament on Tuesday 5 November 1605, as the prelude to a popular revolt in the Midlands during which King James's nine-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, was to be installed as the new head of state. Catesby is suspected by historians to have embarked on the scheme after hopes of greater religious tolerance under James had faded, leaving many English Catholics disappointed. His fellow conspirators were John and Christopher Wright, Robert and Thomas Wintour, Thomas Percy, Guy Fawkes, Robert Keyes, Thomas Bates, John Grant, Ambrose Rookwood, Sir Everard Digby and Francis Tresham. Fawkes, who had 10 years of military experience fighting in the Spanish Netherlands in the failed suppression of the Dutch Revolt, was given charge of the explosives.On 26 October 1605 an anonymous letter of warning was sent to William Parker, 4th Baron Monteagle, a Catholic member of Parliament, who immediately showed it to the authorities. During a search of the House of Lords on the evening of 4 November, Fawkes was discovered guarding 36 barrels of gunpowder—enough to reduce the House of Lords to rubble—and arrested. Hearing that the plot had been discovered, most of the conspirators fled from London while trying to enlist support along the way. Several made a last stand against the pursuing Sheriff of Worcester and a posse of his men at Holbeche House; in the ensuing gunfight Catesby was one of those shot and killed. At their trial on 27 January 1606, eight of the surviving conspirators, including Fawkes, were convicted and sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered.Some details of the assassination attempt were allegedly known by the principal Jesuit of England, Henry Garnet. Although Garnet was convicted of high treason and put to death, doubt has been cast on how much he really knew. As the plot's existence was revealed to him through confession, Garnet was prevented from informing the authorities by the absolute confidentiality of the confessional. Although anti-Catholic legislation was introduced soon after the discovery of the plot, many important and loyal Catholics remained in high office during the rest of King James I's reign. The thwarting of the Gunpowder Plot was commemorated for many years afterwards by special sermons and other public events such as the ringing of church bells, which evolved into the British variant of Bonfire Night of today.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:43 UTC on Wednesday, 5 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Gunpowder Plot on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.

pWotD Episode 3108: Dick Cheney Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 959,236 views on Tuesday, 4 November 2025 our article of the day is Dick Cheney.Richard Bruce Cheney (January 30, 1941 – November 3, 2025) was an American politician and businessman who served as the 46th vice president of the United States from 2001 to 2009 under President George W. Bush. His tenure was often called the most powerful vice presidency in American history, with many pundits and historians noting that he was the first vice president to be more powerful than the presidents they served under. Cheney previously served as White House chief of staff for President Gerald Ford, the U. S. representative for Wyoming's at-large congressional district from 1979 to 1989, and as the 17th United States secretary of defense in the administration of President George H. W. Bush. He was also considered by many to be the architect of the Iraq War.Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, Cheney grew up there and in Casper, Wyoming. He attended Yale University before earning a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in political science from the University of Wyoming. He began his political career as an intern for Congressman William A. Steiger, eventually working his way into the White House during the Nixon and Ford administrations. He served as White House chief of staff from 1975 to 1977. In 1978, he was elected to the U. S. House of Representatives, and represented Wyoming's at-large congressional district from 1979 to 1989, briefly serving as House minority whip in 1989. He was appointed Secretary of Defense during the presidency of George H. W. Bush, and held the position for most of Bush's term from 1989 to 1993. As secretary, he oversaw Operation Just Cause in 1989 and Operation Desert Storm in 1991. While out of office during the Clinton administration, he was the chairman and CEO of Halliburton from 1995 to 2000.In July 2000, Cheney was chosen by presumptive Republican presidential nominee George W. Bush as his running mate in the 2000 presidential election. They defeated their Democratic opponents, incumbent vice president Al Gore and senator Joe Lieberman. In 2004, Cheney was reelected to his second term as vice president with Bush as president, defeating their Democratic opponents Senators John Kerry and John Edwards. During Cheney's tenure as vice president, he played a leading behind-the-scenes role in the George W. Bush administration's response to the September 11 attacks and coordination of the Global War on Terrorism. He was an early proponent of invading Iraq, alleging that the Saddam Hussein regime possessed weapons of mass destruction and had an operational relationship with Al-Qaeda; however, neither allegation was ever substantiated. He also pressured the intelligence community to provide intelligence consistent with the administration's rationales for invading Iraq. Cheney was often criticized for the Bush administration's policies regarding the campaign against terrorism, for his support of wiretapping by the National Security Agency (NSA), and for his endorsement of the U. S.'s "enhanced interrogation" torture program. He publicly disagreed with President Bush's position against same-sex marriage in 2004, but also said it is "appropriately a matter for the states to decide".Cheney ended his vice presidential tenure as a deeply unpopular figure in American politics with an approval rating of 13 percent. His peak approval rating in the wake of the September 11 attacks was 68 percent. After leaving the vice presidency, Cheney became critical of modern Republican leadership, including Donald Trump, and endorsed Trump's challenger in 2024, Democrat Kamala Harris. Cheney died on November 3, 2025, from complications related to pneumonia and vascular disease.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 04:36 UTC on Wednesday, 5 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Dick Cheney on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Matthew.

Lorena Penas, de " ACTUAL COMUNICACIÓN - amodiño", empresa que se adica á xestión da comunicación dixital. Esta sección está centrada na comunicación dixital, nas redes sociais e nas ferramentas que necesitamos hoxe para expresarnos con creatividade e eficacia. Nesta sección propoñemos reflexións, consellos e estratexias para estar ao tanto das tendencias, optimizar a presenza dixital e resolver aquelas cuestións que xurden ao comunicar nas plataformas dixitais. Hoxe: Cales son as webs máis visitadas do mundo (2025) "Google segue sendo o sitio web máis visitado do planeta. Así o confirma o informe Dixital 2025 realizado por We Are Social e Meltwater". "Hai moitas máis conclusións que podemos extraer dese top, especialmente se ampliamos a listaxe ata o top 20 das páxinas máis populares da internet". "Segundo datos solicitados desde o 1 de xullo de 2024 ata o 30 de xuño de 2025, «Google» e «Youtube» posiciónanse como os termos máis buscados". Cales son as webs máis visitadas do mundo (2025) Google segue sendo o sitio web máis visitado do planeta. Así o confirma o informe Dixital 2025 realizado por We Are Social e Meltwater, no que se analizaron os datos de Similarweb solicitados entre o 1 de xuño e o 31 de agosto de 2025. Así pois, para finais de 2025, o Top 10 das páxinas máis populares da internet confórmano: 1. Google.com 2. Youtube.com 3. Facebook.com 4. Instagram.com 5. Chatgpt.com 6. X.com (ex Twitter) 7. Reddit.com 8. WhatsApp.com 9. Bing.com 10. Wikipedia.org Pero hai moitas máis conclusións que podemos extraer dese top, especialmente se ampliamos a listaxe ata o top 20 das páxinas máis populares da internet. Neste caso atopámonos con: Ao comparar o top coa edición anterior (o Dixital 2025, que tomou datos do 1 de setembro ao 30 novembro de 2024), apreciamos que se mantivo o Top 4 coas posicións de Google, Youtube, Facebook e Instagram. O único ingreso ao top 10 foi o de Bing.com, no posto 9, tras pegar un salto impresionante desde o posto 18 que ocupaba na anterior edición. Pola súa banda, Yahoo.com saíu desta clasificación e agora ocupa o posto 12. O ascenso de Chatgpt.com do posto 8 á 5 evidencia a fama e notoriedade que foi alcanzando esta IA xenerativa nos últimos tempos. Algo que se fai aínda máis patente se atendemos aos datos do informe Dixital 2024, cando Chatgpt.com nin sequera aparecía dentro do top 20. Tamén se ve que as páxinas de contidos porno manteñen unha perda de relevancia dentro do top 20: Pornhub continúa no posto 19 tras a súa caída na edición anterior desde o número 12. As redes sociais lideran o top das páxinas con máis visitas do mundo O informe demostra que a media de tempo que pasaron os internautas navegando en Google foi de 10 minutos con 10 segundos (42 segundos menos que en 2024) cun total de 83.300 millóns de visitas. Pola súa banda, Youtube logrou captar a atención dos seus usuarios durante unha media de 20 minutos con 08 segundos (un segundo máis que o ano anterior). Facebook rexistrou 11.900 millóns de visitas, cunha permanencia media no sitio de 10 minutos con 11 segundos. A rede social volve ver diminuír a atención dos usuarios, revelando que a tendencia á alza recuperada na súa edición anterior tras dous anos de descenso foi un espellismo pasaxeiro. Instagram rexistrou unha media de 8 minutos con 28 segundos de tempo de visitas (10 segundos menos que en 2024). Mentres tanto, WhatsApp descendeu do quinto ao oitavo lugar e rexistrou 9 minutos e 57 segundos de permanencia en media dos usuarios (5 minutos e 13 segundos menos que en 2024), ademais de lograr 3.840 millóns de visitas totais. Pola súa banda, X mantívose no sexto posto e presenta un tempo medio por visita de 12 minutos e 49 segundos (32 segundos máis que na edición anterior). Tipos de webs máis visitadas do mundo Segundo os datos do informe Dixital 2026, durante o segundo trimestre de 2025, o 94,1% dos internautas a nivel mundial conectáronse a plataformas de chat e mensaxería instantánea, a mesma cifra (94,1%) que estivo nas redes sociais. Por outra banda, o 80,3% visitou buscadores web ou portais particulares, o 75,1% accedeu a servizos de email e o 74,5% estivo en sitios relacionados con compras. Os termos máis buscados en Google Segundo datos solicitados desde o 1 de xullo de 2024 ata o 30 de xuño de 2025, «Google» e «Youtube» posiciónanse como os termos máis buscados. Completando o Top 5, «You» situouse en terceiro lugar, «Weather» no cuarto posto e “WhatsApp” no quinto.

When Wikipedia was founded in 2001, the idea that people around the world could come together to create an accurate online encyclopedia covering virtually any topic seemed far-fetched. But today many people see the website as a trusted source of well-curated and -cited information. That's because of careful decisions that its leaders made about how to operate. Cofounder Jimmy Wales explains how introducing a simple purpose, insisting on certain rules of engagement, and other strategies helped the organization to build trust with contributors and users -- and maintain it even in a world bombarded by misinformation. Wales is the author of The Seven Rules of Trust: A Blueprint for Building Things That Last.

It was the ninth Champion of Champions event, the first of which was held in 1978. The tournament featured 16 participants who had won events on the World Snooker Tour since the 2018 Champion of Champions. The winner of the Women's World Championship competed in the tournament for the first time. As an invitational event, the tournament carried no world ranking points.Ronnie O'Sullivan was the defending champion, having defeated Kyren Wilson 10–9 in the final of the 2018 event. O'Sullivan lost 5–6 to Neil Robertson in the semi-finals. Robertson defeated reigning world champion Judd Trump 10–9 in the final to win the championship, having required four snookers in the penultimate frame to avoid losing the match. The tournament produced 20 century breaks. The final set a new record for the most centuries in a best-of-19-frames match as Robertson made five centuries and Trump three, for a total of eight. Mark Allen compiled the highest break of the tournament, a 140, in his semi-final loss to Trump. The tournament's total prize fund was £440,000, of which the winner received £150,000.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:14 UTC on Tuesday, 4 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see 2019 Champion of Champions on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Olivia.

When you're stuck on a multiple-choice question, should you change your answer or trust your gut? Most people swear your first instinct is best — but science says otherwise. Listen as I reveal what research really shows about when to stick — and when to switch. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15898871/ Wikipedia shouldn't work. It's built on the idea that anyone, anywhere, can edit their articles. You might think people would sabotage stories all the time. Yet it's one of the most accurate and trusted sources on the internet. How is that possible? According to Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, it all comes down to trust. In this conversation, he shares what Wikipedia's success reveals about human nature and how trust fuels progress. Jimmy is also author of The Seven Rules of Trust: A Blueprint for Building Things That Last (https://amzn.to/499zKNR). Humans are born with just two fears but by adulthood, we've collected dozens more: from spiders to plane crashes to ghosts and scary monsters. So why do we fear so much, and so often the wrong things? Ruth DeFoster, assistant professor of journalism at the University of Minnesota and author of The Fear Knot: How Science, History and Culture Shape Our Fears – and How to Get Unstuck (https://amzn.to/3Jghms4), explains how fear takes hold of us, how the media amplifies it, and what we can do to loosen its grip. You can't really make yourself taller — but you can look taller. From the length of your sleeves to the shape of your belt buckle, subtle details can add (or subtract) inches from your perceived height. Listen as I share clever styling tips that create the illusion of height and confidence. https://londonimageinstitute.com/illusion-dressing-to-look-taller-slimmer-for-business/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!

In his new book, he lays out what he calls a “blueprint for building things that last” in volatile times.

EPISODE 112 -  “CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH: JACQUELINE WHITE” - 11/03/25 When we think of our beloved Classic film stars who are still with us, we tend to think of EVA MARIE SAINT, ANN BLYTH, KIM NOVAK, ROBERT WAGNOR, or DICK VAN DYKE, however, there is one star among us who will be turning 103 in November. The name JACQUELINE WHITE may not ring any bells today, but for a brief time in the 1940s, she was a beautiful, talented leading lady with much promise. In fact, when she was up for the lead role of the mother in the 1946 film The Yearling, she was told by the producers that she was too beautiful to portray the simple pioneer woman. The role went to JANE WYMAN, who probably would have been none-too-pleased to know that, apparently, she was just fine playing such a plain and simple woman! But as a consolation prize, Wyman was nominated for an Academy Award as Best Actress. Join us as we pay tribute to Jacqueline White and her contribution to classic cinema.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Jacqueline White Official Biography, 1946, RKO Studios; “Jacqueline White May Be The New Irene Dunne, December 1, 1946, Los Angeles Times; “Jacqueline White to Wed,” September 20, 1948, by Louella Parsons, Los Angeles Examiner; “Snappy Shots,” October 24, 1948, by Dorothy Manners, Los Angeles Examiner; “An Interview With…Jacqueline White,” by Mike Fitzgerald, Western Clippings; Wikipedia.com; TCM.com; IBDB.com; IMDBPro.com; Movies Mentioned: Dr. Gillespie's New Assistant  (1942), starring Lionel Barrymore, Van Johnson, & Susan Peters; Reunion in France (1942), starring Joan Crawford & John Wayne; Air Raid Wardens (1943), starring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, & Jacqueline White; Three Hearts for Julia (1943), starring Ann Sothern & Melvyn Douglas; Pilot #5 (1943), starring Franchot Tone, Marsha Hunt, & Gene Kelly; Swing Shift Maisie (1943), starring Ann Sothern & James Craig; A Guy Named Joe (1943), starring Spencer Tracy, Irene Dunne, & Van Johnson; Song of Russia (1944), starring Robert Taylor & Susan Peters; Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo (1944), starring Spencer Tracy, Van Johnson, & Robert Walker; The Harvey Girls (1946), starring Judy Garland, John Hodiak, & Angela Lansbury; The Show Off (1946), starring Red Skelton, Marilyn Maxwell, & Marjorie Main; Banjo (1947), starring Sharron Moffat & Jacqueline White; Seven Keys To Baldpate (1947), starring Phillip Terry & Jacqueline White; Crossfire (1947), starring Robert Young, Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan, & Gloria Grahame; Night Song (1947); starring Dana Andrews & Merle Oberon; Return of the Bad Men (1948), starring Randolph Scott, Robert Ryan, Anne Jeffries, & Jacqueline White; Mystery In Mexico (1948), starring William Lundigan & Jacqueline White; Riders on The Range (1950), starring Tim Holt & Jacqueline White; The Capture (1950), starring Lew Ayres & Teresa Wright The Narrow Margin (1952), starring Charles MacGRaw, Marie Windsor & Jacqueline White; --------------------------------- http://www.airwavemedia.com Please contact sales@advertisecast.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.

fWotD Episode 3104: Nizaa language Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Monday, 3 November 2025, is Nizaa language.Nizaa (Nizaa pronunciation: [nɪ˦zʌː˧˨], romanized: nízαὰ), also known as Galim, Nyamnyam, and Suga, is an endangered Mambiloid language spoken in the Adamawa Region of northern Cameroon. Most of the language's speakers live in and around the village of Galim in the department of Faro-et-Déo.Nizaa has a complex sound system with 60 consonant phonemes, eleven tones, and a contrast between oral and nasal vowels. In terms of grammar, it is the only Bantoid language that allows multiple verbal suffixes on one verb. It also is neither a head-initial nor head-final language (the head or main element of a clause does not prefer to come before or after its modifiers) and uses postpositions instead of prepositions (the adposition follows the noun it modifies). Nizaa was first extensively documented in the 1980s by Norwegian linguists Rolf Theil Endresen and Bjørghild Kjelsvik. The language is endangered, but the exact number of active speakers is unknown since the last census of speakers took place in 1985.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:42 UTC on Monday, 3 November 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Nizaa language on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Justin.

Two weeks ago on Sunday, October 19th something rather extraordinary happened at the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. During broad daylight, thirty minutes after the museum opened for the day, and as hundreds of visitors streamed inside, 8 pieces of France's crown jewel collection valued at an estimated 102 million dollars (but actually priceless when considering historical value) were stolen in less than 8 minutes. I don't often cover current events on this show, I'm usually covering events centuries after they happened, but this one deals with history and it deals with history that I now find myself unable to stop thinking about. My mind races back to the Mona Lisa episode and the 1911 theft of the Mona Lisa from the Louvre, how that was possible. How this was possible. It fixates on the pieces themselves, these extravagant ostentatious manifestations of the wealth of the elite. Who were these women who sported such opulence? What gave them that right? And it gets stuck, my mind, it gets stuck on another question that not enough people seem to be asking. Where did these gems come from originally? I promise you they didn't come from France. So where did they come from and at whose expense? And, possibly the question that haunts me the most, can you really steal something that was already stolen? Let's fix that.  Support the show! Join the Patreon (patreon.com/historyfixpodcast)Buy some merchBuy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaineSources: Artnet "The Glittering Royal History Behind the Louvre's Stolen Jewels"BBC "Everything we know about the Louvre jewelry heist"CBS News "How thieves pulled off a brazen crown jewel heist at the Louvre"ThoughtCo "The Rulers of France: From 840 to Present"Wikipedia "Colonial India"Wikipedia "French Crown Jewels"Shoot me a message!

This week, Character.AI announced that it would soon be taking its A.I. companions away from teens. We explain why this is a major development in the world of chatbots and child safety and how we expect other companies to respond. Then, Elon Musk has built a Wikipedia clone called “Grokipedia.” We discuss what it means for the control of knowledge on the web. And finally, we're joined by A.J. Jacobs to talk about his 48-hour experiment in which he tried to avoid all forms of artificial intelligence. We ask why that led him to collect rainwater and forage for food in Central Park.Guests:A.J.

At a time when misinformation thrives, institutions crumble, and algorithms mediate truth, trust has become one of democracy's most fragile foundations. Our team at Open to Debate has been thinking twice recently about trust — how it's earned, how it breaks, and how it might be rebuilt between one another in a time of deep division. Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, the Internet's encyclopedia with an English-language version that has been viewed 11 billion times alone and allows anyone to contribute and edit a page, says that trust is a living treasure that can and must be cultivated. In this episode, geopolitical strategist and Wickett Advisory moderator Xenia Wickett sits down with Jimmy Wales to discuss his new book, "The Seven Rules of Trust: A Blueprint for Building Things That Last.” In this "Think Twice" episode, the interview explores how Wikipedia leveraged trust to help it become a global authority while the public's trust in other institutions has faded.  Our Guest: Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia Foundation; Author of "The Seven Rules of Trust: A Blueprint for Building Things That Last"    Xenia Wickett, Geopolitical strategist, moderator at Wickett Advisory, and Trustee of Transparency International UK, is the guest moderator.    Substack: https://opentodebate.substack.com/  Visit OpentoDebate.org to watch more insightful debates.   Subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed on our curated weekly debates, dynamic live events, and educational initiatives.    Learn more about your ad choices.

How quickly can the U.S. military spring into action to recover - then cover up - the crash of exotic technology that falls from the sky? The answer is - pretty damned fast. An example of this just played out in, of all places, the outskirts of Area 51, the top-secret Air Force facility in the Nevada desert. On September 23rd, an unknown aerial object slammed into the desert floor on public land a few miles outside the boundary of Area 51. Within minutes, the entire base sprang into action, a large swath of public land was cordoned off by armed military security teams, and a cryptic cover story was concocted. In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Jeremy and George share some of the details of the crash retrieval operation and how civilian researchers in Nevada were able to collect enough information to know that the Air Force explanation was full of holes - containing not only outright falsehoods but also a healthy smattering of disinformation. Also discussed in this episode: the emergence of Grokipedia - a more informative and much more balanced source of information than its much-maligned alternative, Wikipedia, which has become notorious for its rigged manipulation of all UFO-related content.
