Podcasts about Xia

¡Muy buenas, chavalería! Hoy estamos en la intimidad más absoluta, bajo mínimos (o máximos, según se mire) con Clint y Arribas, pero eso no nos para gracais a la visita de Kalino.En este episodio #254, nos metemos de lleno en el adictivo, llamativo y narrativo (aunque a veces frustrante) mundo de los Dungeon Crawlers. Kalino, nuestro hombre en el norte, nos salva la papeleta y se une para contarnos su experiencia con **Arydia**, un juego de los creadores del Xia. Un juego de campaña que tiene a Kalino enganchadísimo desde hace meses. ¿Será el sistema de rol y la narrativa inmersiva lo que lo hace tan especial? ¡Kalino nos lo cuenta todo con lujo de detalles!Luego, nos embarcamos en la épica (y carísima) aventura de **Elden Ring: The Board Game**. Prepárense para escuchar cómo Kalino se metió creyendo que era del Señor de los Anillos y acabó enganchadísimo a este monstruo de juego de mesa. Y para los amantes de la hostia limpia y la morriña arcade, Clint nos trae el cañero **Street Master**. Si te molaban los Double Dragon y similares, este cooperativo modular te va a flipar. ¡Partidas rápidas, combos espectaculares y dados que explotan!Finalmente, nos lanzamos a debatir sobre aplicaciones en juegos de mesa (¿sí o no?), los mejores Dungeon Crawlers para una sesión rápida, y hasta un top 5 de nuestros favoritos (con sus polémicas, claro). Juegos mencionados en este episodio:* Maladun: Dungeons of Everon* Elden Ring: The Board Game * Arydia: The Paths We Dare Tread* Street Master* Shadows of Brimstone* Cthulhu: Death May Die* Hellboy: The Board Game* Marvel Zombies: A Zombicide Game* Dungeon Alliance* Plum Island Horror* Dungeon Quest* Arcadia Quest00:00:00 - Inicio00:02:57 - Maladum00:12:04 - Elden Ring00:14:08 - Arydia00:33:47 - Top improvisado de Dungeon Crawlers01:07:26 - Street Master01:17:55 - El TEmplo de los Horrores01:20:27 - Dungeon Ceawlers de D&D01:22:47 - App en juego, si o no01:27:55 - Iron Helm01:30:43 - Secrets of the Lost Tomb01:35:07 - Cosas 3D01:37:11 - Motivaciones para jugar Dungeon Crawlers01:42:44 - Dungeo Crawlers competitivos#VisLudica #JuegosDeMesa #DungeonCrawler #Maladun #EldenRingBoardGame #Arydia #StreetMaster #ShadowsOfBrimstone #CthulhuDeathMayDie #HellboyTheBoardGame #MarvelZombies #DungeonAlliance #PlumIslandHorror #DungeonQuest #ArcadiaQuest #Podcast #JuegosDeMesaEspaña #Humor #Gamer

I de mänskliga imperiernas historia intar Kina en särställning. I mer än två millennier har det stora östasiatiska landets politik kännetecknats av en kejserlig makttradition, präglad av starkt centralstyre, konfuciansk byråkrati och kontinuerlig strävan efter riksenhet och sammanhållning mot omvärlden. Medan Europa, Indien, Afrika, Mellanöstern och Sydöstasien har varit till synes ohjälpligt splittrade har Kinas dynastier följt på varandra i tre- eller fyrahundraåriga sjok av nationell dominans och enhet.Kina har haft många ryktbara kunga- och kejsardynastier, från den halvhistoriska Xia via de mäktiga Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Tang och Song, men en av de mest legendomsusade och ryktbara i vår del av världen är utan tvekan Ming, som härskade från mitten av 1300-talet till mitten av 1600-talet. Det var under Mingkejsarna som det berömda blåvita porslinet tillverkades och Stora muren fick sitt nuvarande utseende, och det var nu de imponerande gravkomplexen (”Minggravarna”) anlades inte långt därifrån. Det var också vid denna tid som européerna på allvar lärde känna den kinesiska kulturen genom att jesuiter som Matteo Ricci tog sig in i landet och vann så stor respekt att de kom att ingå i huvudstadens lärda överskikt.I detta avsnitt av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och fackboksförfattaren Katarina Harrison Lindbergh om de kinesiska dynastiernas historia, framför allt om Mingdynastin på 1400- och 1500-talen.Bild: Kejsar Hongwu, som gjorde klassresan från fattig bonde till kejsare och grundare av Mingdynastin.

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare condition often due to reduced levels C1-inhibitor, which is a protein involved in various physiological processes in plasma, most notably with the complement system. C1-inhibitor also binds and inhibits plasma kallikrein and factor XIa, thereby affecting bradykinin production. It is believed that the disruptions of these processes cause fluid to leak from the blood to connective tissue, leading to HAE attacks. Owing to its rarity, HAE is often poorly recognized, leading to misdiagnoses and significant diagnostic delays. Being aware of the early signs and symptoms of this condition can lead to faster diagnosis and the use of effective therapies.This program is supported by independent medical education grants from Takeda. To earn CME credit please visit https://checkrare.com/learning/p-consider-rare-suspecting-and-diagnosing-hereditary-angioedema/lessons/consider-rare-suspecting-and-diagnosing-hereditary-angioedema-module/  Target AudienceThis activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians specializing in primary care, pediatrics, emergency care, otolaryngology, gastroenterology, and dermatology .Other members of the care team may also participate.Learning ObjectivesAfter participating in the activity, learners should be better able to:- Describe the early symptoms of HAE and its clinical relevance.- Apply best practices to diagnose HAE more efficiently to reduce diagnostic delays. Faculty Jonathan A Bernstein, MDProfessor of MedicineUniversity of Cincinnati Department of Internal MedicineDivision of Immunology, Allergy SectionPartner Advanced Allergy Services, LLCPartner Bernstein Clinical Research Center Disclosure StatementAccording to the disclosure policy of the Academy, all faculty, planning committee members, editors, managers and other individuals who are in a position to control content are required to disclose any relationships with any ineligible company(ies).

Vous aimez notre peau de caste ? Soutenez-nous ! https://www.lenouvelespritpublic.fr/abonnementUne émission de Philippe Meyer, enregistrée au studio l'Arrière-boutique le 31 janvier 2025.Avec cette semaine :Nicolas Baverez, essayiste et avocat.Marc-Olivier Padis, directeur des études de la fondation Terra Nova.Lucile Schmid, vice-présidente de La Fabrique écologique et membre du comité de rédaction de la revue Esprit.Michaela Wiegel, correspondante à Paris de la Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.ÉLECTIONS ALLEMANDESÀ quelques semaines des élections législatives allemandes, le 23 février, le dernier baromètre de la chaîne de télévision ARD, indique que 37 % des Allemands considèrent l'immigration ou l'asile comme l'un des deux problèmes politiques auxquels les politiques doivent s'attaquer en priorité, juste devant l'économie (34 %) et très loin devant la guerre et la paix (14 %), l'environnement et le climat (13 %) et l'injustice sociale (11 %).La succession des attaques au couteau de la part d'étrangers est de nature à populariser le discours antimigrants du parti d'extrême-droite, Alternative pour l'Allemagne (AfD). Partisan de l'avènement d'une politique européenne plus résolue à Berlin, la tête de liste chrétienne-démocrate (CDU) Friedrich Merz, a fait sauter mercredi, le « cordon sanitaire » avec l'extrême droite en proposant un texte plaidant pour un durcissement de la législation en matière d'immigration, qui a obtenu une courte majorité au Bundestag grâce aux voix de l'AfD. Un vote dénoncé par l'ancienne chancelière CDU Angela Merkel. Sur le volet économique, conformément aux prévisions des experts, le produit intérieur brut allemand s'est contracté de 0,2 % en 2024, marquant une deuxième année de récession, après une baisse de l'activité économique de 0,3 % en 2023. Les indicateurs de janvier sont si faibles qu'une troisième année de récession n'est pas exclue. Eclipsée par l'immigration et l'économie, le sujet de la guerre en Ukraine a refait surface à l'approche du scrutin, rappelant la profondeur des clivages qu'il suscite, y compris au sein du gouvernement. Une querelle persistante oppose le chancelier social-démocrate Olaf Scholz (SPD) à ses ministres de la défense, Boris Pistorius, et des affaires étrangères, AnnalenaBaerbock (Verts), au sujet d'une rallonge budgétaire de 3 milliards d'euros destinée à l'Ukraine. Réclamée par les deux ministres, cette enveloppe est bloquée par la chancellerie. Le pays est lui-même divisé sur le sujet : les enquêtes d'opinion montrent qu'une majorité d'Allemands soutient l'aide à l'Ukraine, mais pas la livraison de missiles de croisières Taurus, qui permettrait à Kyiv de frapper le territoire russe en profondeur, et à laquelle Olaf Scholz s'est jusqu'ici toujours opposé.Dans les sondages, l'AfD pointe en deuxième position, gagnant du terrain selon une étude parue le 11 janvier qui crédite la formation de 22 % des suffrages, derrière les conservateurs du camp CDU/CSU autour de 30 % mais devant les sociaux-démocrates du chancelier Olaf Scholz autour de 16 %. La formation à la rhétorique anti-migrants et qui prône un rapprochement avec la Russie a reçu le soutien appuyé d'Elon Musk, allié et appui financier de Donald Trump avec lequel Alice Weidel, investie par l'AfD pour conquérir la chancellerie allemande, a dialogué plus d'une heure lors d'un échange public le 9 janvier sur le réseau social X du milliardaire.SOMMET DE L'IA : RÊVES EUROPÉENS, MONOPOLE AMÉRICAINAprès les sommets de Bletchley Park (au Royaume-Uni) en novembre 2023 et de Séoul au printemps dernier, le sommet de Paris sur l'intelligence artificielle réunira les 10 et 11 février le « Sommet pour l'action sur l'intelligence artificielle », un événement de portée mondiale réunissant chefs d'État et de gouvernement, dirigeants d'entreprise, universitaires, chercheurs, organisations non gouvernementales, artistes et autres membres de la société civile. L'événement a pour ambition de mettre la France et l'Europe sur la carte mondiale de l'IA, mais aussi de rendre compréhensibles pour le grand public les enjeux liés à cette technologie. Les discussions s'orienteront autour de trois objectifs prioritaires, : le développement d'une IA plus durable - cette technologie étant particulièrement énergivore - plus ouverte et au service de l'intérêt général, et la mise en place d'une gouvernance mondiale plus inclusive. Alors que les précédents sommets se concentraient surtout sur les risques, celui de Paris mettra en avant les opportunités qu'offre cette technologie.Deux régulations très différentes s'opposent : alors que les Européens veulent réguler a priori l'IA, les Américains ont opté pour de grands principes certes ambitieux mais non contraignants. La présence d'Elon Musk dans la nouvelle administration américaine, alors que le milliardaire vient de lever 6 milliards de dollars pour son entreprise d'IA, « xIA », risque d'accélérer ce découplage entre les Etats-Unis et l'UE. Dans la lignée du rapport Draghi sur la compétitivité de l'Europe, le Sommet de Paris doit surtout renforcer la place de l'innovation dans l'approche européenne de l'IA, approche que soutient Paris au sein des 28. Il s'agit de limiter drastiquement une approche qui serait principalement centrée sur les risques, encadrant les entreprises innovantes, et qui ne permettrait pas au continent européen de prendre le tournant de cette nouvelle révolution technologique.L'IA est devenue un véritable enjeu de souveraineté pour les États. Donald Trump a annoncé mardi le projet « Stargate », comprenant des investissements « d'au moins 500 milliards de dollars » pour construire des centres d'hébergement et de traitement des données, les fameux « datacenters », indispensables pour faire fonctionner les intelligences artificielles. Selon Bloomberg, les grandes entreprises de la tech américaine vont dépenser 274 milliards de dollars en investissements en capital dans l'IA en 2025. C'est presque deux fois plus qu'en 2023. Avec ses 20 Mds d'euros d'investissement par an, dont 4 Mds en France, l'Europe reste largement distancée par les États-Unis.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

This educational program is made possible by an unrestricted grant from Takeda Pharmaceuticals.Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disease that results in immunologic attacks that can be life-threatening. HAE is the result of reduced levels of C1-inhibitor, a protein involved in various physiological processes in plasma, most notably with the complement system. C1-inhibitor also binds and inhibits plasma kallikrein and factor XIa, thereby affecting bradykinin production. It is believed that the disruptions of these processes lead to fluid leaking from the blood to connective tissue which leads to HAE attacks. It is these HAE attacks that tend to put persons in the emergency department or unable to attend work or school.Numerous therapies are now available for patients with HAE to both treat acute attacks and prevent attacks via prophylactic treatment.With so many treatment options now available, is it disheartening to learn that not all patients with HAE are receiving equal care or access to care. Patients with HAE living in rural areas as patients from underrepresented racial or ethnic backgrounds are not provided the same level of care as patients, especially Caucasian patients,  living in more affluent areas. This panel discussion by three clinical research leaders in HAE, Drs. Aleena Banerji, Timothy Craig, and Marc Riedl, provide an overview of the discrepancies in care observed in certain patient populations, as well as a discussion on best practices to reduce those inequalities moving forward.To view this program in video format, go to https://checkrare.com/improving-health-equity-in-hereditary-angioedema-hae-a-panel-discussion/

Au lendemain de son discours devant la Conseil de sécurité cette semaine, nous avons reçu l'Envoyé spécial de l'ONU pour la région des Grands Lacs dans nos studio. L'occasion d'approfondir les idées qu'il a exposé et permettre de mieux comprendre les dynamiques de la région.Huang Xia est revenu sur la situation politique et sécuritaire, sur la gestion de l'exploitation des minerais qui sont à la base des conflits et financent les groupes armés, ainsi que sur l'importance de la participation des femmes et des jeunes a tout processus de paix afin de la rendre pérenne.Malgré les défis importants, M. Xia a constaté lors de ces échanges en RDC et au Rwanda « une réelle volonté des partis à trouver un consensus », entre eux mais aussi avec la facilitation angolaise, et s'est félicité des progrès « dans l'identification des éléments constitutifs d'un accord éventuel ».« J'ai bon espoir que les parties pourront surmonter les obstacles restants…et faire aboutir la signature d'un accord de paix global entre les parties au conflit », a-t-il affirmé, soulignant que la 5e réunion ministérielle prévue le 12 octobre est « une opportunité à saisir » pour les 3 pays -RDC, Rwanda, Angola- mais aussi pour les acteurs de la communauté internationale « pour qu'il y ait une synergie de travail et faire aboutir les choses ».  (Interview : Huang Xia, Envoyé spécial de l'ONU pour la région des Grands Lacs ; propos recueillis par Cristina Silveiro ; ingénieur :Carlos Macias)

Xia is doing his doctorate at the University of Stuttgart at the Institute for Industrial Automation and Software Engineering. He investigates how to apply the LLM reasoning capability to make the simulation models more intelligent. Based on our research exploration, he proposed a concept design consisting of LLM-agents system and digital twins to enhance the intelligence and user-friendliness of industrial software systems.

Summary In this week's episode, Anna (https://x.com/AnnaRRose) and Tarun (https://x.com/tarunchitra) catch up with Andrew Miller (https://x.com/socrates1024).

We talked with Rosanna Xia, Los Angeles Times environmental reporter in 2023, as she delves into the realities and solutions to sea level rise in her book California Against the Sea, Visions for Our Vanishing Sea. Wherever land meets sea, global warming is wreaking havoc. As the ocean absorbs heat generated by the burning of fossil fuels and its attendant climate breakdown, its waters swell into overwhelming tides and city-engulfing storms. Glaciers melt, Pacific Islands shrink, Indonesians flee their seaside capital, and North Carolina's beaches disappear with each passing supercharged hurricane. Sea level rise threatens low-lying coastal and estuarine zones which may have nearly one billion inhabitants worldwide by 2030. Thus, those residents will lose their homes and businesses, maybe their possessions and have to migrate to higher ground, if they survive the transition. To adapt, governments, industries, and communities must work collaboratively through integrated, multidimensional management schemes that cross the boundaries of natural sciences, environmental justice advocacy, and engineering. Sadly, in our short-term speculative real estate-centric world, we are nowhere close to working together…but there are some positive signs. Journalist and author Rosanna Xia provides an in-depth look at the complex challenges coastal communities face from rising seas. She draws on years of covering coastal management to unpack contentious issues like managed retreat, where communities acknowledge the ocean's inevitable reclamation of land. We discuss the plight of homeowners and businesses struggling to save their properties as well as innovative solutions like wetland restoration, Xia brings her extensive reporting to bear on how we can create more sustainable and resilient coastlines.

Xia's reporting has uncovered the dumping of toxic DDT waste off the Los Angeles coast; set the record straight on the seizure of Bruce's Beach from its Black proprietors (prompting an unprecedented reparative land return in 2022); explored the impacts of coastal gentrification; and articulated the dangers posed to shorelines by pollution and heating oceans.  She was a Pulitzer Prize finalist in 2020 for explanatory reporting on sea level rise, which inspired the work that culminated in California Against the Sea [https://www.heydaybooks.com/catalog/california-against-the-sea/].

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: 170 to 700 billion fish raised and fed live to mandarin fish in China per year, published by MichaelStJules on June 8, 2024 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary 1. Around 1.2 to 1.9 trillion fish fry have been produced by artificial propagation (breeding) annually in China, and it seems those farmed for direct human consumption and pre-harvest mortality can only account for at most around 460 billion of them (more). 2. I estimate that 170 billion to 700 billion animals (my 80% credible interval) - probably almost all artificially propagated fish - are fed live to mandarin fish (or Chinese perch), Siniperca chuatsi, in China annually, with 9 to 55 billion of them (my 80% credible interval) alive at any time (more, Guesstimate model). 3. By contrast, the number of farmed fish produced globally for direct human consumption is around 111 billion per year, and 103 billion alive at a time, with another 35 to 150 billion raised and stocked per year (Šimčikas, 2020). 4. It's unclear how bad their deaths are as live feed to mandarin fish, but I'd guess they die by suffocation, digestion (stomach acid, enzymes), or mechanical injury, e.g. crushing, after being swallowed live, and probably a common way for aquatic animals to die by predation by fish in the wild (more). 5. It's unclear if there's much we can do to help these feed fish. There's been some progress in substituting artificial diets (including dead animal protein) for live feed for mandarin fish, but this has been a topic of research for over 20 years. Human diet interventions would need to be fairly targeted to be effective. I give a shallow overview of some possible interventions and encourage further investigation (more). Acknowledgements Thanks to Vasco Grilo, Saulius Šimčikas and Max Carpendale for feedback. All errors are my own. Fish fry production in China One of the early developmental stages of fish is the fry stage (Juvenile fish - Wikipedia). Šimčikas (2019, EA Forum), in his appendix section, raised the question of why hundreds of billions of fish fry were produced artificially (via artificial breeding, i.e. artificial propagation) in China in each of multiple years, yet only "28-92 billion" farmed fish were produced in China in 2015, "according to an estimate from Fishcount". He found that if the apparent discrepancy were due to pre-slaughter mortality, then this would indicate unusually low survival rates. He left open the reason for the apparent discrepancy and recommended further investigation. Before going into potential explanations for the discrepancy, I share some more recent numbers for the artificial propagation of fish: 1.9143 trillion fish fry in China in 2013 (Li & Xia, 2018) and 1.252 trillion freshwater fry and 167 million marine fish fry in China in 2019 (Hu et al., 2021). The 2019 numbers seem substantially lower than in 2013, so the trend may have reversed, one of these numbers is inaccurate, there's high variance across years or one of the years was unusual. Li and Xia (2018) also plot the trend over time up to 2013, along with total freshwater aquaculture: 28 to 92 billion farmed fish produced in China in 2015 (Fishcount) from 1 to 2 trillion artificially propagated fish fry, would suggest a pre-slaughter/pre-harvest survival rate of 1.4% to 9.2% (from the fry stage on). Survival rates are typically at least 20% for the most commonly farmed species, including carps and tilapias (Animal Charity Evaluators, 2020, table 4), for which China accounts for most production. And Šimčikas (2019, EA Forum) notes: Since hatchery-produced juveniles are already past the first stage of their lives in which pre-slaughter mortality is the highest, mortality during the grow-out period shouldn't be that high. Under fairly generous assumptions for an explanation based on pre-harvest mortality, using ...

Hey, Hi, Hello, this is the History Wizard and welcome back for Day 10 of Have a Day w/ The History Wizard. Thank you to everyone who tuned in for Day 9 last week, and especially thank you to everyone who rated and/or reviewed the podcast. I hope you all learned something last week and I hope the same for this week. This week we're going to be learning about history's favorite war criminal, Genghis Khan. The man, the myth, the incorrigible slut. But first! It's time for another installment of the Alchemist's Table. Today potion is called Summer Cyclone. Take 1.5 oz of anejo tequila, 1 oz of Blue curacao, and 1 oz of coconut syrup. Shake vigorously and pour into a wine glass. Top with prosecco and enjoy. With that out of the way it's time for a biography! Would it shock you to hear that Genghis Khan was not his given name? The Khan of khans was born Temujin sometime between the years 1155 and 1167, there is still a lot of dispute over exactly when Temujin was born, though many traditions have him being born in the Year of the Pig, so either 1155 or 1167, although based on its fidelity to the accepted timeline of Temujin's life, 1162 is generally considered the most accurate estimate for his birth year. Temujin's life gets even more confusing when you learn that even his birthPLACE is up for debate. The Secret History records his birthplace as Delüün Boldog on the Onon River, but this has been placed at either Dadal in Khentii Province or in southern Agin-Buryat Okrug, Russia. The Secret History being the book The Secret History of the Mongols, which is the oldest surviving literary text we have written in a Mongolian language, though it bears noting that it was written after Temujin's death. Oh yeah, and we also don't know where he's buried. It's generally accepted that he is buried somewhere near the Mongol sacred mountain of Burkhan Khaldun in the Khentii Mountains. But the exact site of his burial is, to this day, unknown. So, we don't know when he was born, we don't know where he was born, and we don't know where he was buried.  So what DO we know about the life and times of Temujin? Luckily, a whole fucking lot. Though, before we get into the scholarly consensus, let's talk about some of the myths and legends surrounding his birth. Some legends say that Temujin was born clutching a blood clot in his hand, this is a somewhat common trope in various Asian folktales prophesying that Temujin would grow up to be a great warrior. It is also said that Hö'elün, Temujin's mother and the principal wife of Yesügei, chieftain of the Borjigin tribe was impregnated by a ray of light. Oh, and apparently Temujin's entire family line was started by a blue grey wolf and a red doe about 21 generations prior to his birth. Yesügei,died when Temujin was 8 years old after being poisoned by a group of Tartars that he was sharing a meal with. Temujin was able to ally himself with some of his father's former friends and allies and began to rise to some levels of prominence, but tensions with one of his friends Jamukha eventually led to the two men fighting a decisive battle, which Temujin list and afterwards was not seen in the lands of his father for about a decade. There was, for a long while, debate and dispute over where Temujin was and what happened to him during that time, though it is now generally accepted that he crossed the border into Jin China where he lived as either a servant or slave, sources are unclear on exactly which. Temujin's clash with his former friend Jamukha took place in 1187 Dalan Baljut, and it would be around 1196 that Temujin returned to the steppes, now much more powerful and influential than he'd been before. In early summer 1196, he participated in a joint campaign with the Jin against the Tatars, who had begun to act contrary to Jin interests. As a reward, the Jin awarded him the honorific cha-ut kuri, the meaning of which probably approximated "commander of hundreds" in Jurchen. At around the same time, he assisted Toghrul with reclaiming the lordship of the Kereit, which had been usurped by one of Toghrul's relatives with the support of the powerful Naiman tribe. The actions of 1196 fundamentally changed Temüjin's position in the steppe—although nominally still Toghrul's vassal, he was de facto an equal ally. Now, when speaking of Genghis Khan one of the things that is most often spoken about is his infamous cruelty, but this trait was not unique to him. After his defeat of his former friend Temujin Jamukha is said to have boiled 70 prisoners alive. Shortly after his return, when many of Jamukha's former allies defected in the face of his cruelty and harshness, Temujin was able to subdue the disobedient Jurkin tribe that had previously offended him at a feast and refused to participate in the Tatar campaign. After executing their leaders, he had one of his men symbolically break a leading Jurkin's back in a staged wrestling match in retribution. What followed was a series of campaigns with Temujin and Torghul on one side, and Jamukha on the other, having been named gurkhan, khan of the tribes, by those tribes, mainly the Onggirat, the Tayichiud, and the Tatars, who wanted to break the growing strength and supremacy of Temujin and Torghul. This campaign began in 1201 and was completed by 1202. During it a man named Jebe, from one of the tribes Temujin fought against entered into Temujin's service. How you ask? Well during one of the battles Jebe shot Temujin's horse out from under him. Temujin thought that was dope as fuck and said “Hey, you want a job? If you don't I can always kill you.” Jebe took the job. After each tribe was defeated Temujin killed their leaders and folded the surviving troops into his armies, many of them becoming nökor or noyans of Temujin during the rest of his life and campaigns. After proposing the marriage of his son Jochi (who might not have been his actual blood related son, but might have been adopted by Temujin after his wife Borte was captured and then several months later gave birth to him) Temujin was betrayed by his ally Torghul. Jamukha, who had been granted clemency following his defeat whispered poison into the ears of the other tribal leaders. He said that this was a ploy by Temujin to gain control of Torgul's tribe the Kereit. He also fed into their fears of how Temujin was already shaking up steppe society by promotion based on merit instead of based on blood lines, something that annoyed and angered many of the tribal aristocracy. After his defeat and forced retreat Temujin called in every available ally he still had and swore to them a, now famous, oath of loyalty that has come to be known as the Baljuna Covenant. What follows is allegedly part of Temujin's declaration as recorded in The Yuanshi in 1370: "[Temüjin] raised his hands and looking up at Heaven swore, saying "If I am able to achieve my 'Great Work', I shall [always] share with you men the sweet and the bitter. If I break this word, may I be like the water of the River, drunk up by others." Among officers and men there was none who was not moved to tears. The oath-takers of Baljuna were a very heterogeneous group—men from nine different tribes who included Christians, Muslims, and Buddhists, united only by loyalty to Temüjin and to each other. This is something that Temujin would maintain for his entire life. The khanate was a shockingly diverse and multicultural place. Genghis Khan was well known, by friends and enemies alike, for being a culturally and religiously tolerant man. All people needed was to be loyal to him. This doesn't mean that Temujin was not a religious man. He worshipped the ancient Turkic deity Tengri, God of the Heavens and the Sky. Tengrism is an interesting religion that has elements of poly and pantheism in it. Part of Genghis Khan's reason for conquest was his belief that it was the destiny that Tengri had laid out for him, but more on that later. After the Baljuna Covenant there followed a few years of war where Temujin and his allies defeated Torghul and eventually Temujin's childhood friend Jamukha. The Secret histories indicate that, despite his many betrayals Jamukha was executed honorably, though other sources indicate that he was dismembered until he finally died. And so it was, that in 1206 Temujin became the sole ruler of the steppes. He proceeded to call a kuraltai, a gathering of the tribal chiefs and took for himself the name Genghis Khan and was named the Khaqan, the Khan of Khans over all of the Mongol tribes. Now, Genghis Khan knew something that all the men he had defeated in his rise to power didn't. He knew why no tribal confederacies before had succeeded. It wasn't because of any personal failing on the parts of the men in charge, it was because of the very structure of their society. The Mongol tribes were too, well, tribal. They felt their loyalty belonged to their specific family of clan and not to a larger idea of an empire or nation.  Luckily for Genghis though, he'd already killed most of the traditional tribal leaders and chieftains, so he was able to reshape his society, like wet clay, into what he wanted it to be. So he set out to create a highly militarized society and meritocracy where loyalty to the nation, to the khan, and your own ability would decide how far you could rise. Every single man in the empire between the ages of 15 and 70 was in the army and was organized into large 1000 men segments that were further broken down into 10 blocks of 100 that were broken down into 10 units of 10. Any captured troops who were to be folded into the Khan's army were sent, each one, to different units so they couldn't organize and rebel against him. Between 1206 and 1210 Genghis consolidated his hold on power over the steppes. It was during this time that the Tangut led Western Xia kingdom fell under Mongol control. The siege of the capital Zhongxing while ultimately successful, was not one of the Khan's greatest moments. His armies, while vast, lacked any true siege equipment save for some crude battering rams and their attempt to flood the city by diverting the Yellow River failed and wound up flooding their own camp. Still, in the end Emperor Zhangzong surrendered to the Khan and agreed to pay tribute in exchange for the Mongols withdrawing. And now Genghis would turn his attention to the Jin Dynasty Wanyan Yongji, a man who had previously served with Genghis back when he worked for the Jin, and who Genghis hated. usurped the Jin throne in 1209. When Genghis was asked to submit and pay the annual tribute to Yongji in 1210, Genghis instead mocked the emperor, spat, and rode away from the Jin envoy—a challenge that meant war. Despite being outnumbered 8 to 1 by the 600,000 strong Jin army, Genghis decided to invade. He made his way easily across the border and immediately began a scorched earth campaign. Anything they couldn't carry with them would be burnt. If they couldn't have the supplies, they'd make sure that the Jin couldn't have them.  The conquest of the Jin took 4 years and during that time the army of Genghis Khan grew, both in size and ability. After the failed siege of Xijing Genghis decided it was time to build a troops of siege engineers and proceeded to recruit some 500 of them from the Jin over the next 2 years.  This trait is what would make the Khan and his armies so fearsome and successful. Well this and their willingness to be utterly ruthless and brutal when they felt they had to. But this flexibility, this humility to look at their methods and say “this isn't working, let's try something new” would allow them to defeat forces they, frankly, shouldn't have been able to. Genghis used his past successes and the stories about him that spread ahead of his armies enhance his reputation and then he wielded it like a club to smash through resistance. Take the siege of the Jin capital of Zhongdu. Yongji had been killed and the government was in shambles, but still Genghis had no way to breach Zongdu's walls. His army was able to do nothing except camp before the city walls and wait as disease and starvation ravaged his armies. Some sources even allege that they turned to cannibalism to survive during this siege. Yet, despite this Genghis still called for peace negotiations with the Jin. Negotiations that were successful. Genghis secured the Jin empire as well as a tribute of 3,000 horses, 500 slaves, a Jin princess, and massive amounts of gold and silk. As we stated earlier, of all the things Genghis Khan is known for, one of the most notable and oft repeated is his brutality to his enemies. Nowhere are the more stories about this than in his treatment of the Khwarazmian Empire, a Persianate Sunni Muslim empire. The khans armies there were under the command of his youngest son Tolui. Over the course of the conquest three major sieges of note took place at Nishapur, Merv, and Herat. Contemporary Persian historians put the death toll of this campaign at 5.7 million people, though more modern historians estimate and much lesser death toll of 1.25. One story says, that after the death of one of Genghis's step sons Toquchar, that the entire city was order slaughtered. Some stories say that all 1,748,000 people living in Nishapur were killed within an hour.  Genghis Khan would die in 1227. He had fallen off his horse in the winter of 1226 and became more and more ill as time went on, eventually passing on August 25, 1227. The exact nature of the khan's death has been the subject of intense speculation. Rashid al-Din and the History of Yuan mention he suffered from an illness—possibly malaria, typhus, or bubonic plague. Marco Polo claimed that he was shot by an arrow during a siege, while Carpini reported that Genghis was struck by lightning. Legends sprang up around the event—the most famous recounts how the beautiful Gurbelchin, formerly the Xia emperor's wife, injured Genghis's genitals with a dagger during sex. Following Genghis Khan's death the capital city of the Xia Kingdom, Zhongxing was put to the sword and almost the entire population of the city was killed. There are many stories of the Khan's brutality, and of the brutality of his descendants. One story from later in the Mongol Empire has the plague entering Europe during the Siege of Caffa when the Mongol troops launched diseased bodies over the walls in an early form of biological warfare. We also have stories of Mongol armies marching civilians in front of their armies to act as human shields. Over the entire course of the Mongol Empire, from 1206 until about 1400 it is estimated that their armies killed between 30 and 50 million people. Based on Antarctic ice cores, scientists have identified a sudden decrease in atmospheric carbon of about three parts per million (ppm) between 1200 and 1470 CE, which roughly correlates with the Mongol invasion of Asia as well as the Black Death in Europe. So it is very possible that Genghis Khan, his descendant's and armies killed enough people to cool down the entire planet. Still, slaughter and mayhem are not all Genghis was known for. He was largely responsible for the existence and prosperity of the Silk Road, he is, at least partially responsible for the existence of written Mongolian languages, which were based on the Uyghur script, he helped lay the foundation of the legal system known as the Great Yasa. The legacy of Genghis Khan is a complex one. One the one hand we have plenty of stories of him boiling his enemies alive, of his armies creating mountains of thousands of skulls, of human shields. But as we study more and more of the legacy and life of Genghis Khan we are more and more convinced that those stories are fear based myths from the people's he conquered, because it is also often noted that Genghis Khan abolished the use of torture thoroughout his Empire. He was religiously tolerant, he outlawed slavery, he created one of the first international postal systems. Also, about .5 percent of the population is directly related to him. So what do we really know about the life of Genghis Khan, especially considering that no eyewitness description or contemporaneous depiction of Genghis Khan survives. We don't really know anything. Not where or when he was born, not where he was buried, not what he looked like, nor even, really, what his conduct was in war. So did he even really exist? Yes, there's no debate on that. There ARE plenty of contemporary sources from Mongolian, Chinese, and Persian sources discussing Genghis Khan and his verifiable existence. But beyond saying that he lived? Most everything else is propaganda from one source or another. We can still find truth in propaganda though. All we have to do is find the things that multiple, independent sources agree on and we can reasonably assume that to be the truth. So, Genghis Khan existed, and he definitely killed a lot of people in his quest for power and wealth. The details though? Those are a bit fuzzier. That's it for this week folks.

Excessive reliance in the deep structures of his brain on the now 60-year-old Social Origins of Dictatorship and Democracy: Lord and Peasant in the Making of the Modern World.* Why did Brad go wrong? A failure to understand Lenin's party of a new type as a bureaucratic-cultural organization…* Suggestions for what Brad DeLong should earn during his forthcoming stint in the reëducation camp are welcome…* &, as always, Hexapodia…References:* Bear, Greg. 1985.

Yet another stretch of Highway 1 near Big Sur remains closed after a chunk of the roadway fell into the ocean in March. The latest closure raises questions about the future of the iconic highway amid threats from extreme weather and coastal erosion. “Everything is working against Highway 1,” Gary Griggs, an oceanography professor at the University of California at Santa Cruz told the Washington Post. We'll look at what it could take to save Highway 1 and what it all means for local residents and the state's economy. Guests: Jonathan Warrick, research geologist, Pacific Coastal and Marine Science Center in Santa Cruz, United States Geological Survey Rosanna Xia, environmental reporter, Los Angeles Times; Xia specializes in coastal and ocean issues. Her latest book is "California Against the Sea: Visions for Our Vanishing Coastline."

Content warning for discussion of genocide and mention of suicide. Hey, Hi, Hello, this is the History Wizard and welcome back for Day 6 of Have a Day w/ The History Wizard. Thank you to everyone who tuned in for Day 5 last week, and especially thank you to everyone who rated and/or reviewed the podcast. I hope you all learned something last week and I hope the same for this week. This week we're going to, finally, be stepping outside of the Western sphere of influence and migrating over towards Jin Dynasty China to learn about an event that is sometimes known as the Upheaval of the Five Barbarians. This refers to the genocide of many non-Han tribes from China that took place in the beginning of the 4th century CE. As always, we will start with that most important of set dressings, context. The thing that, without, all of history would just be one shot DnD stories told around a table. But before even that, let's talk about the word barbarian. Etymologically the word barbarian comes to us from the Greek word barbar, meaning a non-Greek person or someone who didn't speak ancient Greek. Meaning that, technically, we are all barbarians. In a more modern context the word has a far more pejorative connotation. It's used in the same contexts as words like savages or uncivilized. It becomes an inherently stigmatizing term. One designed to make the people being referred to by it inherently lesser than those using it. The is one of our first instances of dehumanization being used in a historic genocide. The Romans didn't see the Carthaginians as animals or subhuman, merely as a threat to the Roman way of life and to Roman hegemony over the Mediterranean. Pontus didn't see the Romans as barbarians or savages, merely a threat to Pontus's control over Asia Minor. But the Five Barbarian Tribes? They were inherently less. They were, to be sure, a threat to Jin dynastic control over China, but more than that, they weren't Han Chinese, and so they were ethnically inferior. The Jin Dynasty emerged from the chaos and turmoil of the Three Kingdoms Period. Following the end of the Han Dynasty the Three Kingdoms of Cao Wei, Shu Han, and Eastern Wu dominated China from 220 to 280 CE. The Sima clan from the Cao Wei kingdom rose to prominence in 249 CE after staging a coup against the Cao clan. By 263 Sima Yi had conquered both the kingdom of Cao Wei and the Kingdom of Shu Han. Sima Yi would die in 265 CE, but his son Sima Yan would go on to conquer the kingdom of Eastern Wu in 280 CE, uniting China once again and declaring himself the first emperor of the Jin Dynasty. Sima Yan would die 10 years later, in 290 CE and would be called Emperor Wu, the Martial Emperor of Jin, posthumously. The death of Emperor Wu would spark a succession war that would come to be known as the War of the Eight Princes, and it would be within the context of this war that the Upheaval of the Five Barbarians would occur. See, after Emperor Wu died he was succeeded by his son, Sima Zhong, also known as Emperor Hui. Hui was developmentally disabled. We don't know the exact nature of his disability, but records show that, while he could read and write just fine, he was unable to make traditionally logical decisions on his own. So, despite ruling as emperor for 17 years, Emperor Hui never exercised any real authority on his own, instead coming under the control of 9 different regents over the course of his reign. It was because of Emperor Hui's disabilities and the relative ease with which he could be controlled by a regent that the War of the Eight Princes began in earnest. The War of the Eight Princes, which lasted from 290 until 306 CE is somewhat akin to the Hundred YEars War in that it was not an extended period of continuous fighting. It was stretches of relative peace, interspersed with massive amounts of lethal violence that saw shifts in power each time. First, after Emperor Wu died he named his father in law Yang Jun, and the Prince of Ru'nan, Sima Liang, as coregents of his second son, Sima Zhong. Yang Jun though didn't want to share power and managed to get Sima Liang sent away from court to Xucheng, leaving himself in sole control over the imperial court. Yang Jun, however, was wildly unpopular and was soon deposed by Jia Nanfeng, the new Empress of Jin and Sima Liang, who became the first of the Eight Princes in this war. The rest were Sima Wei, Sima Lun, SIma Jiong, Sima Ai (sometimes written as Sima Yi), Sima Ying, Sima Yong, and Sima Yue. All of these men were rulers over certain administrative zones within the control of the Jin Dynasty and some of them, like Sima Wei, ruled for just days before being captured and killed by other princes. The third prince, Sima Lun, was the tutor of the crown prince, son of Sima Zhong, Sima Yu. Empress Jia, fearing a loss of her own power should Sima Yu come of age and inherit the throne had him arrested. This led some Chinese government officials to reach out to Sima Lun to gain his aid in overthrowing the Empress, who had been ruling as regent since Sima Wei had been executed. Lun not only captured the Empress, but also forced her to commit suicide by making her drink gold powdered wine. Sima Lun gaining control of the regency caused many of the other princes to join forces Sima Jiong, who had been discontented by his position in the government following the overthrow of Empress Jia and sent to Xuchang, Sima Ying, and Sima Yong. Sima Ying joined with Sima Jiong after the latter declared rebellion against Sima Lun, and Sima Yong was originally on the side of Sima Lun, but defected to the other side once he realized that Sima Jiong and Ying had a larger and more powerful army. Sima Lun was defeated in relatively short order, and much like Empress Jia, was forced to commit suicide. Once Emperor Hui was reinstated on the throne he declared a grand celebration in the form of a five day, non stop, drinking binge. The emperor's drink of choice was likely wine or a fermented spirit called baijiu which is made from sorghum. SIma Jiong was eventually betrayed by his allies Sima Ying and Yong and was killed by his own troops. It was actually Sima Ai who captured the capital after Sima Jiong death, but he elected to share authority with his brother, Sima Ying. Ying wasn't happy about this though and colluded with Sima Yong to try and have Sima Ai assassinated, though this plot would fail. War would once again break out between SIma Ai and Sima Ying and Yong, only this time SIma Ai would ultimately fall to his brother and Sima Yong.  Sima Yue, the Prince of Donghai, eventually rebelled against SIma Ying, and though being defeated was appointed to the preposition ot Grand Tutor to try and make peace between the two sides. This peace wouldn't last as in 305 SIma Yue would raise troops against SIma Yong. Yue would ultimately be victorious over both Ying and Yong and would rule as the last regent before Emperor Hui died on January 8, 307 CE after eating poisoned bread. There is some debate over whether or not Sima Yue was responsible for the Emperor's death. But, after Emperor Hui died he was succeeded by his brother, Sima Chi, known as Emperor Huai. Huai needed no regent, and so ruled in his own right. Though he would oversee the loss of much of the Jin Dynasty's territory following the Upheaval. Now, so far we've talked a lot about princes, but very little about Barbarians. So now it's time to shift our focus. Both of these events happened roughly concurrently, and while there was certainly some overlap between them, they were two different events. The Five Barbarians was a name applied to various nomadic tribes later in history. Those tribes being the Xiongnu, the Jie, the Xianbei, the Qiang, and the Di. All of these tribes (although the Xiongnu is technically a tribal confederation) are also often referred to under the exonym Hu. Now, various tribes and tribal confederacies had been immigrating into China since the later days of the Han Dynasty, and while relations between these tribes and the people of China wasn't always sunshine and roses it was good enough that these peoples could live together. With China being thrown into chaos by the Three Kingdoms Period and the War of the Eight Princes many of the tribes went into rebellion. And so in 304 CE, before the War of the Eight Princes even ended, China entered the Sixteen Kingdoms period as various, often short lived, dynastic kingdoms were founded in the northern parts of China. As one might expect, the Jin Dynasty refused to accept these new kingdoms as distinct from it, and it also refused to accept them as political equals. For example, envoys from the Shi Zhao dynasty, an ethnically Jie dynasty ruled over by Shi Le, a man who had once been an indentured farmer before rising to power during Liu Yuan's rebellion that established the Han Zhao dynasty, were expelled and all of their gifts they brought for Sima Chi were burnt. You might be wondering what all of the 16 kingdoms were, well The term "Sixteen Kingdoms" was first used by the 6th-century historian Cui Hong in the Spring and Autumn Annals of the Sixteen Kingdoms and refers to the five Liangs (Former, Later, Northern, Southern and Western), four Yans (Former, Later, Northern, and Southern), three Qins (Former, Later and Western), two Zhaos (Han/Former and Later), Cheng-Han and Xia. There was even a brief period between 376 and 383 when the Former Qin dynasty reunited all of northern China. In 386 Northern China would be fully reunited under the Northern Wei dynasty and by 420 southern China was fully reunited under the Liu Song dynasty, but to find our genocide we actually need to go a little further back in time. We've drifted too far forward. We now find ourselves in the Later Zhao dynasty, also known as the Shi Zhao dynasty. Remember that Shi Le was part of one of the Five Barbarian tribes. He was of Jie ethnicity. Shi Le and his adoptive brother Shi Hu had long standing habits and traditions of adopting other people into their clans. Bringing into the family through law, if not necessarily by blood. One such man was Ran Zhan, an ethnically Han man who would be adopted under the name Shi Min. Shi Min gained power over the Shi Zhao dynasty through the methods you might expected after listening to everything else in this episode. He lied, cheated, and staged a coup. While in control of the Shi Zhao dynasty, Shi Min survived no fewer than three assassination attempts in the first year of his rule. This lead Shi Min to conclude that he couldn't trust any of his followers, but he was especially wary of the Jie and the various other tribes as they were refusing to fall in line with his edicts. See, Shi Min, in his paranoia ordered that all Hu people be disarmed and be banned from carrying weapons (disarmament of a particular segment of the population is often an initial step towards genocide as it prevents them from being able to fight back when you ultimately decide to kill them.) When non-Chinese tribes began to flee the capital city of Ye, Shi Min realized that he would not be able to use the Hu, so he issued an order (this is generally referred to as a culling order) to the ethnic Chinese according to which each civil servant who killed one Hu and brought his head to him would be promoted in rank by three degrees, and a military officer would be transferred to the service at his Supreme Command. Shi Min himself led Chinese in killing the Hu people without regard for sex or age; during the day tens of thousands of heads were severed. In total over 200 thousand people were killed; their bodies were dumped outside the city. Troop commanders in various parts of the state received a rescript from Shi Min to kill the Hus; as a result half of the people with high noses and bushy beards were killed. Among the 200,000 people who died in the massacre many were in fact ethnic Chinese who had high big noses, deep-set eyes and thick full beards, which in combination were considered to be the indicators of non-Hanness. This brings us an important point when talking about genocides which is, how do perpetrators identify their victim groups? Well, the simple answer is, they don't. In most cases the identifying features or characteristics that perpetrators use are arbitrary and are not particular to one group of people. The Nazis misidentified thousands of people as Jewish based solely on the size and shape of their nose or whether or not they were circumcised. I, myself, have been misidentified as Jewish by neo Nazis on the internet because of the size of my nose. Shi Min chose a big nose and a full beard as distinctly “barbarian” features, completely ignoring that many ethnically Han people would share those features. There is no logic in how genocidal regimes operate. Never was, never will be. Another thing I want to highlight is the use of the word cull when referring to the orders Shi Min gave in 349 CE. Words like cull or purge can be seen often when discussing genocide. You will find euphemism in all aspects of genocide. Now, obviously the word genocide didn't exist in 349 CE, so there was no way to call it that, but words like purge or cull are designed to be clinical and detached from the act of killing. There's no direct call to murder, or slaughter, or massacre. There's a call to cull the divisive, lesser, elements from our society. This allows people to remove themselves by one step from the violence they are about to commit. It doesn't change facts, it doesn't make something any less of a genocide, but it does make it easier for people to be convinced to carry one out. That's it for this week folks. Thanks so much for tuning in and sticking around. We have some more reviews to read this week, so let's get right to that. Thank you all so much, and now for the outro Have a Day! w/ The History Wizard is brought to you by me, The History Wizard.

California's coast is vanishing, surely and no longer so slowly, writes LA Times environment reporter Rosanna Xia. By the end of the century, climate change and storm and tidal patterns could cause sea levels in California to rise by as much as seven feet, destroying coastal towns and causing billions in damages. But Xia says it's not too late to chart a different course. We'll talk to Xia about California communities that are managing sea level rise successfully and about strategies – like seawalls and sand replenishment – that may need to be reconsidered. And we'll learn why Xia wants us to adopt a deeper way of thinking about our coastline, one that would reframe sea level rise as “an opportunity to mend our fractured relationship with the shore.” Xia's new book is “California Against the Sea.” Guests: Rosanna Xia, staff writer, Los Angeles Times. Her new book is "California Against the Sea: Visions for Our Vanishing Coastline"

In this week's episode we look back on the mysterious Mitochondrial Eve, the mysterious Xia dynasty of ancient China, and the not so mysterious Battle of Carrhae between the Roman Republic and the Parthian Persian Empire.
