Toby Wilkinson, Part Two: The Ptolemaic family's decline is driven by internal civil wars, incestuous marriages, and rising Roman influence. Highly ambitious queens like Cleopatra I and Cleopatra III emerge as central political forces. The narrative culminates with Cleopatra VII, who strategically allies with Julius Caesar, whose military forces accidentally burn down Alexandria's great library. Following Caesar's death, Cleopatra forms a powerful political and romantic union with Mark Antony. However, their coalition collapses after their defeat by Octavian at the Battle of Actium. Antony dies in her arms, and Cleopatra commits suicide to avoid Roman captivity, ending the three-century-long Macedonian dynasty. (2)

Toby Wilkinson, author of The Last Dynasty: Ancient Egypt from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra, Part One: The narrative begins with Alexander the Great's conquest of Gaza and his subsequent journey to the Siwa Oasis, where the oracle of Zeus Ammon declared him a god. After Alexander's death, his general Ptolemy I established the Ptolemaicdynasty, wisely integrating Greek and native Egyptian traditions and inventing the unifying god Sarapis. Under Ptolemy II, the kingdom flourished economically by leveraging agricultural innovations in the Fayum to produce valuable grain, alongside gold mining in the eastern deserts. This wealth funded the construction of the Pharos Lighthouse, the great Library of Alexandria organized by Zenodotus, and a powerful mercenary army. (1)

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the First Responder Wellness Podcast, host Conrad Weaver sits down with Tracey Wilkinson — a retired Fort Wayne, Indiana firefighter with 23 years of service — to talk about one of the most important conversations in the first responder world: what happens when you fall apart, and the institution you gave your life to looks the other way. Tracey's story begins with a line-of-duty death at a training exercise she was responsible for as a training officer. The guilt of that incident, layered on top of two decades of accumulated trauma, eventually led to a PTSD diagnosis, severe physical symptoms, and a period of suicidal ideation so dark that she describes standing on the edge multiple times. What kept her here — and her answer is both heartbreaking and profound — was her fierce protectiveness of the people who would have had to respond to her if she hadn't been. This conversation is for the firefighter who is white-knuckling it through every shift, for the officer who doesn't know why small incidents are suddenly setting them off, and for the administrators and union leaders who want to do better but don't know where to start. Tracey brings both her lived experience and her academic training to offer one of the most grounded, compassionate, and clinically informed conversations on this podcast.   +++++   Need Help?

One thing that a lot of people with vestibular disorders notice is how fatiguing or challenging different tasks become over time.  What's happening is your brain is trying to process multiple inputs (or even tasks) at the same time.  For those with vestibular disorders, it becomes more difficult because your body is trying to process more information—and it’s also now having to work double time to keep you upright. Multitasking and task switching are a part of daily life, but it comes with costs. And those with vestibular disorders often notice this more but aren't quite sure how to make it go away. But this episode is here to help! In this episode, we'll dig into: Why tasks feel manageable alone but become overwhelming when combined How multitasking and task switching are similar and different What the “switch cost” is and how it adds up over time for those with vestibular disorders What percentage of people with vestibular conditions experience cognitive symptoms like brain fog How the central nervous system and cerebral cortices matter for cognitive symptoms Why spatial awareness demands extra resources when you have a vestibular disorder How balance exercises in VRT are designed to gradually scale up task demands Why errors are actually part of healing with a vestibular condition Why rest and recovery are essential when you’re adding in more cognitive or physical tasks Task switching and multitasking are hard for everyone! A vestibular disorder just adds an extra layer—it doesn’t mean things can’t improve, but it does take time, space, and grace. You're doing more things than you think and certainly doing more than you take credit for.

Jessica Coody sat down with Damon Wilkinson to discuss his decision to transfer to Nebraska Men's Basketball, the growth of his game during his time at South Dakota State, how he went from a walk-on to Power 4 hoops, playing multiple sports in high school growing up in a small town in South Dakota, what excites him about playing for the Huskers' program and coaching staff, and much more!

A part of a series of exclusive interviews with men's basketball's newest arrivals, Matt Zimmerman sits down with veteran guard Jeremiah Wilkinson to discuss the journey that has taken him from Atlanta to California, back to the SEC, and now to Arkansas. After earning All-Freshman honors at Cal and proving himself as one of the conference's most dynamic scorers at Georgia, Wilkinson reflects on the experiences that shaped him as both a player and a leader. He opens up about the confidence that fuels his game, the countless hours spent perfecting his shot, and why his college experience gives him a unique opportunity to help guide Arkansas' talented freshman class. Wilkinson also talks about the importance of family, the support system that has followed him across the country, and what convinced him to commit to Arkansas before ever stepping foot on campus. From his competitive edge and scoring mentality to his excitement for playing in front of a packed Bud Walton Arena, the conversation gives Razorback fans an inside look at one of the most experienced and explosive newcomers on the roster—and a player determined to do whatever it takes to help Arkansas win.

Many behavior analysts have experienced the frustration of teaching a skill successfully in one setting only to discover that it doesn't transfer to the situations where it actually matters. In this episode, I sit down with Kristina Montgomery and Emily Beal Wilkinson of Victory Academy to discuss how Essential for Living (EFL) and event-based teaching can help bridge that gap. Kristina and Emily share their professional journeys into behavior analysis and describe how discovering Dr. Patrick McGreevy's Essential for Living framework reshaped their approach to supporting learners with limited skill repertoires. Rather than focusing on isolated skill acquisition, EFL prioritizes the development of functional, meaningful skills that improve quality of life and increase independence. A major focus of our conversation is event-based teaching, an instructional approach that embeds learning opportunities within naturally occurring and highly meaningful activities. From gardening and cooking to operating school cafés and participating in role-playing activities, Kristina and Emily explain how these experiences allow practitioners to teach multiple skills simultaneously while creating natural sources of reinforcement. We also discuss: How Kristina and Emily first discovered Essential for Living and why it resonated with their clinical experiences. Why traditional skill-building approaches sometimes fail to produce meaningful generalization. The concept of "stacking" activities to address multiple goals through a single event. Examples of event-based teaching activities including gardening, cooking, cafés, and community-based experiences. A detailed case study illustrating the transition from VB-MAPP-style programming to contextual, event-based instruction. How literacy, communication, social, and adaptive skills can be embedded within meaningful activities. The role of natural reinforcement in improving learner engagement. Their innovative health and wellness program designed to teach tolerance for medical and dental procedures. How desensitization training can reduce the need for sedation, restraint, and other restrictive practices. The collateral benefits these programs create for families and healthcare providers. Research questions related to contextual instruction, assessment, staff satisfaction, and BCBA training. Advice for newly certified behavior analysts on professional development and values-based practice. This episode will be especially valuable for behavior analysts, special educators, and anyone supporting individuals with significant support needs who are looking for practical ways to make instruction more meaningful, functional, and socially significant.

No one wants to feel like a sucker. In fact, the very thought of being one – of playing the fool – shapes our behavior in powerful ways. But what if our fear causes us to make choices that aren't good for us? Or worse, what if people weaponize our fear in order to dominate or disempower us? Tess Wilkinson-Ryan has written a stunning book on the topic called, Fool Proof: How Fear of Playing the Sucker Shapes Our Selves and the Social Order and What We Can Do about It. A psychologist and law professor, Tess helps us understand what this fear is, why we have it, and how it plays out in law, politics, and everyday life. She also shares how to overcome it and make the decisions that are aligned with our goals. It's a book you'll keep thinking about long after you've read it.

Toby Wilkinson is one of the world's leading Egyptologists, whose books have ranged across the full sweep of pharaonic history. His latest, The Last Dynasty: Ancient Egypt from Alexander the Great to Cleopatra, covers the 300-year Ptolemaic period — stranger and more modern-feeling than the Egypt of the pyramids, built around commerce and cosmopolitanism rather than divine kingship, and home to the greatest concentration of scientific talent the ancient world ever saw. Tyler and Toby cover how Alexander took over the empire almost without a fight, why Alexandria became the Manhattan of the ancient world, whether the era was as philosophically fertile as it was scientifically, whether your ancient doctor's visit had positive expected value, what Egypt was actually exporting and selling, whether living standards rose above subsistence or stayed Malthusian, how the ethnic divide between Greek rulers and Egyptian subjects shaped society, what constrained the Ptolemaic Empire from becoming the next Rome, whether Cleopatra has been overhyped, what Julius Caesar was really thinking when he sided with her over her brother, the new frontiers in archeology, whether Herodotus can be trusted, what ancient Egypt knew about Israel and India, when Egyptian jewelry peaked and why, what triggered the sudden emergence of civilization across the ancient world, why a six-year-old Tyler knew King Tut better than Napoleon, and much more.

In this episode, we dive into the life and legacy of Ernest L. Wilkinson, president of Brigham Young University from 1952 to 1971. Known for rapidly expanding BYU into a major religious university, Wilkinson was also a deeply polarizing figure whose leadership raised serious questions about race, politics, academic freedom, and loyalty within the Church.Joined by historian and longtime Signature Books publisher Gary Bergera, we explore Wilkinson's diary collection and what it reveals about his ambitions, fears, and decisions.From alleged “spy ring”activity among faculty, to clashes with Apostle Boyd K. Packer, to his views on black students, LGBTQ+ students, and the role of capitalism in the gospel, this conversation uncovers a complex portrait of a man who helped shape modern BYU –while leaving behind a legacy still debated today.Gary Bergera has spent decades shaping Mormon historical scholarship and was a key figure in Signature Books. His work has helped bring forward documents and perspectives that continue to challenge and inform conversations today.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.
