This is a company that has really dealt with how to bring 3D printing to mass market retail. They've dealt with all of the systems involved in that. It's really fascinating. I've often talked with a lot of different people that are working on different pieces of the puzzle. This is a company that really has had to create an end-to-end solution, dealing with content to how would people interface and interact with it then actually having it printed right there for them at a physical location in a museum gift shop or retail store. They've also gone on to do other kinds of solutions, a little more business to business, but it's really all centered around the same thing. How to help companies, especially big brands, take advantage of the opportunities that additive manufacturing, in particular 3D printing, offers. I hope you really will enjoy it.

 3D Printed Drugs 4 mins - "3D-printing is set to revolutionise the way we do chemistry, and could lead to pharmacies printing out our drugs when we need them, or even home printed prescriptions. Lee Cronin is the Regius Professor of Chemistry at Glasgow University... Lee - I wanted to see if we could take a cheap robot, a bit like a 3D printer, and use it to automate chemistry. So, one of the problems we're having in chemistry is that only certain cooks can make certain recipes and get certain tastes, and what we wanted to do is make all recipes and all tastes available to everyone. By using a 3D printer which is really cheap and becoming very available, we could use a 3D printer in two different ways. First way, is that we use it to print a plastic object or material objects, in this case, like a test tube in which you do your chemistry. Then the 3D printer switches function and turns from test tube printing to actually moving liquids around a bit like an automatic cocktail maker in which you would add the chemicals into the test tube it's just made to allow the chemical reaction to go. And because a 3D printer would know which order to add to the chemicals, it would be very precise and allow us to replicate our chemistry recipe and allow the thing to work in many different places and situations...."

 3D Printing and Amazon 33 mins - "There are several markets now that are very viable for 3D printing, and that's what Steve Crimi, CEO of Goldsol, Inc., is looking at right now. Steve, along with his business partner and wife, Brenda, sells lots of different products on Amazon in particular. He has spent his lifetime owning and operating successful businesses in the industries of electrical, energy efficiency, and LED lighting. Steve recognizes that 3D-printed end-use products, not just prototyping, are here to stay, and it's a very big market in and of itself. Very recently, the US government is charging product importers a tariff of 10% percent, increasing to 25% at the beginning of next year. The vast majority of products purchased in the United States being imported, Steve knows importation may just not be cost effective anymore.

_ 9-11 Injuries_ _51 mins - "Following the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, first responders rushed to ground zero in Manhattan, where they braved dangerous conditions to rescue people buried in the rubble, retrieve the remains of the dead and clear the debris. Among them was demolition supervisor John Feal._ Feal arrived at ground zero on Sept. 12; just five days later, he was seriously injured when an 8,000-pound piece of steel fell and crushed his foot. He became septic from the deeply infected wound, and nearly died. The accident cost Feal half his foot — and his job. His despair grew deeper when the government denied him medical compensation for his injury. Honoring The Other Fallen Of Sept. 11: Sickened Ground Zero Volunteers Speaking with other first responders, Feal realized that he was not alone. Not only were others also being denied money to help pay for their injuries and illnesses, but the trauma was ruining people's lives. "They were losing their homes," he says. "They were getting divorced, or separated, or their kids were in rehab for drugs because Daddy or Mommy were miserable." Feal formed the FealGood Foundation, which advocates on behalf of emergency personnel. He also began working to pressure Congress to pass a bill that would provide compensation for medical care and monitoring for first responders.

**** **th** **Amendment** 36 mins - "The first eight amendments to the U.S. Constitution are literal, straightforward, and direct. But when we get to Amendments nine, 10, and 11, things get... hazy.

Episode Three reaches for lofty metaphors of moon shadows, legal penumbras, and romantic relationships — as well as more guttural, frankly gross ones, like the human appendix, to describe the three amendments that define the nature of our union and the powers of the government and the people.

Even those who support it qualify their position by saying it's "a bad thing" or "an agonizing decision." In a new book, feminist writer Katha Pollitt argues it doesn't have to be this way. "Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights," is an impassioned attempt to re-frame the debate. She claims that abortion opponents have gained ground in part because the "pro-choice" movement has failed to make its case. She calls abortion a "moral right" and a "social good," saying it should be seen as a normal part of a woman's reproductive life..."

The death of Justice Antonin Scalia, who was a critic of the Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion, shifts the balance of power on the court, and thrusts Justice Kennedy into the spotlight. Kennedy is the presumed swing vote in the case, which could end in a 4-4 tie. Both sides say the decision could have far-reaching consequences.

_ Abortions_ _22 mins - "Willie Parker grew up in Alabama without electricity, one of six kids in a single-mother household. He learned to read by the light of a kerosene lamp. He was also raised in a fundamentalist Christian community that believed abortion was wrong. Single, unwed mothers had to publicly apologize in church. Today, however, Parker is a obstetrician gynecologist who specializes in providing safe abortions in the Deep South. He travels between states and clinics amid protests and threats, and treats the same demographic of women who might have gone to his church. Parker credits his change of heart to a_ _sermon_ _he heard by Martin Luther King Jr., where he alludes to the biblical story of the Good Samaritan—a man who acts out of kindness for the greater good. "The Good Samaritan asks what will happen to this person if I don't stop to help them," Parker said. Women in this region of the United States have few options, Parker says, if they aren't ready to be mothers. The last abortion clinic in Mississippi was_ ___attacked_ ___last year, and the state_ ___moved_ ___to block doctors from being able to admitting patients to hospitals after they received an abortion. Parker says the trend of unsafe, secretive abortions are too dangerous to deny women access to care. "Being born in the South, and being reared in abject poverty... if I couldn't make those women a priority, who will?" he says. That perspective has fueled his work and helped shape his faith. It's also the reason he doesn't shy away from being recorded on film or speaking in public, despite the pressure he gets from the pro-life movements that thrive in the Bible Belt. And while Parker has lost some friends, and severed relationships, he is at peace with his decision. "I believe my work is honorable. I believe it is always appropriate to help people," he says.

The moment of greatest vulnerability is the instant immediately after victory. ~ Napoleon Bonaparte We briefly touched on this concept in the On Combat bookclub....It doesn't take a rocket scientist to guess that a soldier must pay a heavy physiological price for an enervating process this intense. The price that the body pays is an equally powerful backlash when the neglected demands of the parasympathetic system become ascendant. This parasympathetic backlash occurs as soon as the danger and the excitement are over, and it takes the form of an incredibly powerful weariness and sleepiness on the part of the soldier.

For example the Clinton administration bundled what was once federal welfare assistance into block grants to states where the money often is misdirected or hoarded by the states, even as its shriveled by inflation. For context in the ensuing healthcare battles we are replaying a conversation Brooke had with Jack just after the house bill was passed."

 Affordable Homes 70 mins - "A safe and secure shelter, one of humanity's most basic needs, has eluded far too many people in this resource-rich region. In the past five years, Bay Area home prices have surged by an astounding average of 72 percent.

Currently, 1.5 million households in the Bay Area pay more than half of their income in rent. And people of color and seniors are being hit the hardest. But for the first time, the public, private, nonprofit and philanthropic sectors are working together on creative solutions to produce, preserve and protect affordable homes for all residents. Last fall, voters passed 15 affordable housing measures throughout the Bay Area.

 Aflatoxin Control in Agriculture 32 mins - Aflatoxins are trace compounds produced by certain fungi, and represent a legitimate food safety risk. These fungi grow on corn, peanuts and other crops, especially in warm, humid areas that lack fungal control measures. They have been connected to numerous human diseases, primarily liver cancer, but also cause problems in livestock fed contaminated grain. Dr. Monica Schmidt of the University of Arizona has a good solution. Her team has expressed an RNA sequence in corn that matches the genetic sequence in the fungus. Upon invasion, the fungus takes up the RNA from the corn, and it shuts down the genes required for aflatoxin production. There are no effects on the corn kernel itself. This work shows that safer food could be produced by arming the plant with genetic defenses it could implement in fighting fungal contamination and the toxins it produces."

_Africa Solar Lights_ _30 mins - "Micro-solar lamps are now lighting parts of Africa that the grid cannot reach. Tom Heap investigates how the solar spread is emulating the wide reach of mobile phones in Africa. There are currently over 100 million kerosene lamps across Africa that are the main source of light in parts of the continent that are either off-grid or where people cannot afford to hook-up to the electricity grid. These lights are polluting, dangerous and expensive. Burning a kerosene light in a small room produces the same detrimental effect as smoking two packets of cigarettes. They are a fire hazard and they can cost as much as 15% of an average salary to fuel in some parts of the continent. Tom heap sets out to discover if a small desktop solar lamp that costs a fraction of the running expenses of a kerosene lamp can improve the health of millions of people and help to lift Africa out of poverty.

Ben traces the smuggling route from the shores of Libya, the gateway to Europe and one of the most brutal places on the migrant trail, back through the ghettos in the deserts of Niger, where the local economy is dependent upon human trafficking. He finishes the investigation in Nigeria, where many begin their journey and where young girls are committing themselves to years of prostitution to pay their way to Europe.

Some have even been deported, despite having Mexican ID papers. So who are the black Mexicans? Lucy Duran meets members of this ethnic community that is struggling for identity and recognition. They use their culture, such as the characteristic Dance of the Devils or Chilena music, to assert their identity and fight for their rights. Activists want the state to accept black people as a separate ethnic minority, distinct from indigenous people, but with the same rights. It is not only about being able to hold your head high. It's also about money. Those fighting for official recognition say that they're not eligible for the special kind of financial support that similarly isolated indigenous communities get. They blame their poverty on this lack of funding. Dr Lucy Duran meets black Mexicans ranging from a cowboy to a singer-songwriter and explores how they identify themselves, why even those who do not obviously look as though they are of African descent describe themselves as black, and why their identity has become a political issue.

The fasting mimicking diet trialed in Prof Valter Longo's labs is produced by a private company called Prolon (Prof Longo does not receive profit from this company). Prolon does not distribute the product to Australia and there isn't a fresh food version released by Prof Longo's labs. However, the description of the fasting mimicking diet in their published journal paper lists a composition of "at least 9-10% proteins, 34-47% carbohydrates (plant based) and 44-56% fats (no animal fats). The amount of calories in total was around 700 - 800 per day. Unlimited herbal teas - no dairy, advised to drink lots of water. Each daily packet during my five day diet contained a nut bar for breakfast, a vegetable soup for lunch, a vegetable soup for dinner and afternoon snack consisted of 7 olives or some kale crackers.

Aging Reversal 62 mins - "Aging is a process that is generally viewed as unidirectional, relentless, and inevitable. However, in addition to the existence of non-aging species, or at least species with negligible senescence, data from a wide range of living organisms suggests that environmental influences can markedly slow and even halt the aging process. Furthermore, recent experimental evidence suggests that aspects of the molecular and functional characteristics of aged cells and tissues even in mammals can be restored to a more youthful state. Analyses of age-related changes in cells have revealed clear epigenetic changes, and the reversibility of some of those processes, in essence leading to cell and tissue rejuvenation, suggest epigenetic mechanisms. Current studies focus on understanding the nature and regulation of those epigenetic mechanisms and the extent to which the aging clock can be rewound or reset by defined environmental influences while leaving other cellular characteristics, such as their state of differentiation, intact.

 Aging Workforce 47 mins - "For years, economists have been warning about the effects of an aging U.S. population on the federal budget. But a new study finds a much more powerful effect: Researchers concluded that an aging workforce causes a decline in productivity and economic growth. The joint Harvard-Rand study predicts that over the next 10 years, annual GDP growth will slow by 1.2 percentage points due to population aging. Critics of the study say aging workers are just one factor in a slowing economy. But many industries are already creating incentives for older employees to work longer. Guest host Derek McGinty and guests discuss an aging U.S. population and its effect on the U.S. economy."

Agriculture and Climate Change 68 mins \- "It's become increasingly and painfully obvious to farmers in California that climate change means more than just rising temperatures. Evermore erratic weather patterns fuel longer droughts, bigger floods and even more frequent wildfires. As we slowly come to terms with the consequences to our rural communities, food supply, local economy and the environment, forward-thinking farmers are learning to both adapt as well as fight back. Hear from the frontlines of an emergent climate-smart farming movement: soil scientists, family farmers and policy advocates all working to promote practices that prove more resilient in the face of these climatic changes. While global monopolies try to sell newfangled, patented quick fixes to the problem of feeding a growing population in the age of climate change, these grassroots efforts are proving effective with a more natural, holistic and egalitarian approach: building up the organic matter in soils, cover cropping, mindfully integrating crops and livestock, planting hedgerows, using compost, and applying rotational grazing. Not only does this dynamic suite of practices retain water better, endure temperature fluctuations and offer more resilient environments when disaster does strike, but together they can also sequester carbon back into the ground, reversing the trend that led us to the problem in the first place. While there are no easy solutions, these climate resilience champions—often overshadowed by other, more visible players in the fight against climate change—are working hard to reshape our agricultural system for long-term sustainability and regeneration. From ecology and policy to practical on-farm techniques, come learn how the land that feeds us—with a little help from education and policy reform, city slickers, and country folk alike—can help save our planet too."

 Agrippina the Younger 42 mins - "Agrippina the Younger was one of the most notorious and influential of the Roman empresses in the 1st century AD. She was the sister of the Emperor Caligula, a wife of the Emperor Claudius and mother of the Emperor Nero. Through careful political manoeuvres, she acquired a dominant position for herself in Rome. In 39 AD she was exiled for allegedly participating in a plot against Caligula and later it was widely thought that she killed Claudius with poison. When Nero came to the throne, he was only 16 so Agrippina took on the role of regent until he began to exert his authority. After relations between Agrippina and Nero soured, he had her murdered.

AI and Chatbots 27 mins - "Natural language processing has gained more and more attention with the raise of (or rather, the "fad" of) chatbots. Despite the flurry of press releases from companies about their conversational agents (only a few of which seem to be delivering real business value), few business leaders understand the value of NLP for customer service, sales enablement, or eCommerce. In this week's episode of AI in Industry we interview Narjes Boufaden, computational linguistics PhD and CEO of Keatext, an NLP company based in Montreal. Narjes explores the possible business applications of NLP - specifically for customer service and customer experience - and she also explains (in layman's terms) how NLP systems are trained and integrated into businesses today. The ROI on this episode (in my opinion), is a firm understanding of what NLP can and cannot do, and what business applications it can realistically solve today.

If you take an image for a human being in a consumer application (maybe an iPhone app or a recreational DSLR camera), you probably want it to be visually appealing and clear to the human eye. As it turns out, machines don't need pretty images, they need to do their jobs. If a computer vision system needs to detect road signs, or suspicious people in an airport, or the presence of weeds in a cornfield - it may create images that are ugly to the human eye, but perfectly calibrated for being interpreted by machines for their jobs. As it turns out, this is a complicated AI-related problem itself, and Allan walks us through it.

There are two primary takeaways from this episode. The first is the broad capability of monitoring the competition with artificial intelligence, something that can be applied across industries, not just in retail. The second is that EDITED is generating information from what is freely available on the web, and so it would seem their software doesn't require businesses to integrate it into inventory management systems in order to train the algorithm behind it. I'm not necessarily lauding the company; I haven't used their product nor read all of their case studies.

What middle class professions have the greatest risk of automation, and what should those professionals be doing now to hedge against job loss? What should business leaders be doing now to prepare for "phasing out" work while still taking care of their employees?"

AI and Job Retention 26 mins - "Marshall Brain discusses how wetware (the human brain) is increasingly becoming a part of a bigger system which may in itself be managed by software systems. The roles and relationships of humans and machines are rapidly changing. With the increasing advances in technology, there are fewer and fewer skills or activities that an enterprise needs from human beings, and they only need those until they can be replaced by software or hardware. For example, computer vision systems are often still not as effective as the human eye, so we still need human vision systems to recognize text or to recognize object placement, and take action accordingly (in a store, warehouse, or other setting). A human can fill that role as a piece of wetware until the software or the hardware catches up. How will man and machine collaborate in the future? We explore these dynamics in depth in this week's interview."

AI and Machine Learning 27 mins - "Expert systems and machine learning are two ends of a spectrum working to solve similar problems quite differently. One one hand you have if-then scenarios and a logical approach, and on the other you have vast neural networks and a big data approach. Some companies exist to try and bridge the gap between the if-then rule systems and the massive piles of data. They hope to find a middle ground of sorts, one that mitigates their individual disadvantages. One such company is Montreal's fuzzy.ai. In this episode, we interview its founder, Evan Prodromou about the state of the middle ground, so-called hybrid systems. The middle ground is an elusive, still mostly theoretical concept, but businesses can take steps to prepare for when it becomes accessible to them. What exactly would a hybrid system provide to businesses in terms of automation? How accessible are they now, and what can businesses do to best integrate them when they're ready?

 AI for Therapy 28 mins - "Now that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs recognizes post-traumatic stress disorder as a significant issue among veterans, they've uncovered another problem—there aren't enough therapists to go around. Virtual reality experts at the University of Southern California have a solution: robots. Reporter Anna Stitt explains how advocates see these "therapy bots" as enhancing the field of therapy; they don't tire out, they don't need a salary, and patients are often more honest with them than human therapists. The only problem? Some people are worried that these therapy bots will one day replace humans. Fears of artificial intelligence aren't new, but they do seem increasingly common. Elon Musk declared that creating artificial intelligence is akin to "summoning the demon." And Hollywood has done a solid job of convincing us that we're approaching an age of artificial superintelligence—when machines' capabilities will greatly exceed those of humans. We turned to philosopher and University of California, Berkeley professor John Searle to get his take on how realistic these concerns are. He says he takes the threat just as seriously as if someone said "shoes have been walked on for centuries. Any day now, they might come out of the closet and walk all over us."

Today, there's a major issue with people who don't adhere to their medical regimens, only to relapse or experience more serious symptoms later on. This week's guest, Cory Kidd, CEO of Catalia Health and known for his work at MIT on human-robotic interaction, is working to help solve this problem by developing a robot that adds some of that physical presence and accountability.

 AI Object Recognition 26 mins - "Deep learning can seem like magic. But behind that magic there's often drudgery — painstakingly labeled data is key to many deep learning projects. "It's something that has slowed down our industry because the reliance on human annotated data... it's physically slow," says Matt Scott, co-founder and CTO of Malong Technologies in a conversation with AI Podcast host Noah Kravitz. New techniques promise to free humans from this task, and set deep learning loose on a far broader set of problems — like automatically recognizing the products in our shopping carts — Scott explains. Founded in 2014, Malong — based in China — developed an AI algorithm that learns from the web's own data, allowing it to classify images that are both "noisy" and unlabeled. "That's sort of the context of the problem space we're working in — how can we access this large-scale data that exists on there on the web, for example," Scott said. Earlier this year, Scott and his team entered the WebVision challenge hosted at the CVPR computer vision conference. Competing against more than 100 companies and academic labs, Malong emerged victorious, achieving a 94.78 percent recognition rate. By contrast, human recognition clocks in at 95 percent. The platform Malong has built on this technology, Product AI, can take a small photo of a product, and then apply deep learning to parse through images and identify what it's looking at. "To get to the next level, we're going to have to break past the barrier of human annotation," said Scott. "Now we are in this new area where we are not limited."

Siebel explores the far-ranging impact that AI and digital innovation will have on every aspect of life and how this step function change in technology—fueled by AI and IoT—continues to disrupt critical industries from agriculture, health care, manufacturing, defense, financial services and energy. Siebel will discuss the societal and ethical implications of AI, exploring both the dangers and the opportunities where AI can have the greatest impact. Given AI is being rapidly applied to virtually all societal domains, the urgency of working together to mitigate the adverse consequences has never been greater. Leading researchers suggest it is only a matter of time before rival states, criminals and terrorists use AI's scale and efficiency to launch finely targeted and highly efficient attacks. In this rapidly evolving climate, Siebel argues that the benefits of AI are substantial, but the potential costs are significant. He advocates that the balance between the two lies in regulation, private and public sector collaboration, and a clear focus on issues such as privacy and cybersecurity to protect us—as consumers and citizens.

 AI Predictive Maintenance 25 mins - "In the heavy industry sector, the cost of unpredicted repairs or machine failures can be very expensive. For example: A cargo train with an engine failure in will incur costs from its own repairs, from the transit required to reach the broken down engine, and with holding up other trains and cargo in the process. Predictive maintenance has the potential to help businesses assess the condition of vehicles, equipment and parts in order to predict when maintenance should be performed. Using data collected by sensors on machines (including vibration, temperature, and more) heavy industry companies can potentially predict which machines or parts need imminent maintenance and which machines are least likely to break down. In this week's episode, we speak with Will McGinnis, Chief Scientist at Predikto, a predictive maintenance software provider based in Atlanta. Will speaks with us about predictive maintenance applied for the improvement railways and trains equipment, and how companies in the railway sector can use predictive maintenance to coax out patterns in maintenance schedules and heavy equipment data."

She was born in Devon, in 1915; but was a very 21st-century woman. She studied math at Oxford. She also captained the women's tennis and fencing teams there. She took up flying in 1937 and did aerial ordnance survey work for two years. Then war: Curtis was among the first women to join the Air Transport Auxiliary - the ATA. We read volumes about combat pilots. But each of their planes had to be shipped from plants or depots, then moved about to be armed, modified, repaired. The ATA moved a third of a million airplanes - 130 different types \- around the country, or flew them in from outside - all while England was under attack."

 Airbnb Chris Lehane 43 mins - "Here at On Point,  we've been looking a lot lately at how startups and technology are disrupting our economy — and our lives. Everything from the way we drive to the way we shop seems to be ripe for innovation. The way we travel, too, has been flipped on its head, in large part thanks to Airbnb. The Silicon Valley company has sidestepped the hotel industry by allowing homeowners to rent their extra space to vacationers. These digs can be cheaper — and sometimes, a lot nicer — than traditional accommodations. But with a large-scale disruption like this one comes questions about law, ethics and very the ways we live our lives.

Within this 'serum', scientists of the day found protein – or albumen (that's with the e again, sorry).

Although it is also found in soil bacteria, as the name suggests, the main source is algae, specifically brown algae, which is a group that includes many of the seaweeds, like kelps, found in chilly northern seas.

 Algorithm Impact 24 mins - "On April 9, 2017, United Airlines flight 3411 was preparing to take off from Chicago when flight attendants discovered the plane was overbooked. They tried to get volunteers to give up their seats with promises of travel vouchers and hotel accommodations, but not enough people were willing to get off the flight. So United ended up calling some airport security officers, who boarded the plane and forcibly removed a passenger named Dr. David Dao. The officers ripped Dao out of his seat and carried him down the aisle of the airplane, nose bleeding, while horrified onlookers captured the scene with their phones. The public was outraged. But how did Dr. Dao end up being the unlucky passenger that United decided to remove? Immediately following the incident, there was speculation that racial discrimination played a part — and it's possible it played a role in how he was treated. But the answer to how he was chosen is actually an algorithm, a computer program that crunched through reams of data, looking at how much each passenger had paid for their ticket, what time they checked in, how often they flew on United, and whether they were part of a rewards program. The algorithm likely determined that Dr. Dao was one of the least valuable customers on the flight at the time...."

What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? How much messiness should we accept? What balance of new activities and familiar favorites is the most fulfilling? These might seem like uniquely human quandaries, but they are not. Computers, too, face the same constraints, so computer scientists have been grappling with their version of such issues for decades. The solutions they've found have much to teach us. In this interdisciplinary work, author Brian Christian and cognitive scientist Tom Griffiths show how the algorithms used by computers can also untangle very human questions. They explain how to have better hunches and when to leave things to chance, how to deal with overwhelming choices and how best to connect with others.

Allied Bombing of German Cities 58 mins \- "No one doubts the bravery of the thousands of men who flew and died in Bomber Command. The death rate was an appalling 44%. And yet until the opening of a monument in Green Park in 2012 they had received no official recognition, with many historians claiming that the offensive was immoral and unjustified. How can it be right, they argue, for the Allies to have deliberately targeted German cities causing the death of hundreds of thousands of civilians? Even on a strategic level the offensive failed to bring about the collapse of civilian morale that was its intention. Others, however, maintain that the attacks made a decisive contribution to the Allied victory. Vast numbers of German soldiers and planes were diverted from the eastern and western fronts, while Allied bombing attacks virtually destroyed the German air force, clearing the way for the invasion of the continent. Arguing for the motion were AC Grayling, philosopher and author of 'Among the Dead Cities: Is the Targeting of Civilians in War Ever Justified?'; and Richard Overy, Professor of history at Exeter University who has published extensively on World War II and air power in the 20th century. Arguing against them were Antony Beevor, award-winning historian and author of the No. 1 international bestseller 'The Second World War'; and Patrick Bishop, historian and author of 'Bomber Boys'.

Why, for example do we spend so much time and effort researching hotels and restaurants online while we rarely bother to investigate the effectiveness of the charities we donate to? Are we more concerned with feeling good about ourselves than actually doing good? Enter William MacAskill, rising star philosopher at Oxford University and co-founder of the Effective Altruism movement. MacAskill's new book 'Doing Good Better' has won acclaim from the likes of Peter Singer and Steven Pinker. Bill Gates, perhaps the world's greatest philanthropist, has even described him as 'a data nerd after my own heart.'

Aluminum 4 mins - "...Have you ever wondered why the English say aluMINium instead of alUminum?

Aluminum oxide, or bauxite, is the commonest source. It's very hard to separate aluminum from oxygen. Not 'til 1845 did a German chemist isolate a pinpoint sample of aluminum. In 1854 a French chemist, Henri Deville, invented a commercial process for extracting aluminum from bauxite. But his aluminum was still very expensive -- practically a new precious metal.

Then she could no longer remember the route to get to her teaching job outside of Toronto. Soon it became clear that Pat could not manage living on her own, and Kathryn quit her job in London, Ontario and moved back home to care for her. Kathryn is among the youngest of an estimated two million Canadians who put their careers and lives on hold to care for an ailing loved one. In this rebroadcast from October 2016, Kathryn reveals the challenges of being a young caregiver to a parent with early-onset dementia: The struggle to find programs for a dementia patient who was still relatively young; the loss of connection to her peers who were pursuing careers and relationships; and the pain of watching the vibrant woman who had been her 'everything" slip away to the point where she no longer knew her daughter's name. Now 28, Kathryn reveals how she eventually found a balance between caring for her mother, and caring for herself."

"From the outside, it looks like any other physical bookstore. On the inside, most of the shelves and book labels are presented in a manner that only Amazon can pull off with authority, drawing inspiration from its online user experience—and from its large swaths of consumer data," she recalls. Hu identifies the new shopping experience as an "ingenious reversal of skeuomorphism, or the act of making digital objects represent their real-world counterparts... Amazon Books feels so refreshing and remains so popular because it turns skeuomorphism on its head: it makes the physical world conform to its digital origins, rather than the other way around," she explains...."

Then, as now, those who footed the bill for political campaigns were richly rewarded with favorable laws. Bill's guest this week, historian Steve Fraser, says what was different about the First Gilded Age was that people rose in rebellion against the powers that be.

This is true of America in general and of our politics in particular—we're just not comfortable with ambiguity. Leave that to the French. Americans are about gettin' things done. But the geopolitical world is complex, and allegedly getting more so every day.

And who is at fault for the weakening of Western political values? Goldberg lauds the idea that liberal democratic capitalism has been built into the American constitution, but he argues we are breaking down that radical success on both sides of the aisle.

Schake talks about the effect of high levels of public support for the military combined with low levels of trust in elected political leaders. She also reflects on whether American society is becoming so divorced from the requirements for success on the battlefield that not only do we fail to comprehend the enormous responsibilities of our military but we also would be unwilling to endure a military constituted to protect us."

Winterer argues that this national mythology of a unitary, patriotic era of Enlightenment in America was created during the Cold War to shield against the threat of totalitarianism, and Americans in the 1700s were influenced by European models in far more complex ways than commonly thought.

American Politics Transformation 66 mins - "The 1968 U.S. presidential election fundamentally shaped modern American politics, and it was a transformative event in the life of a young Lawrence O'Donnell. Nothing went according to plan: Incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson believed he would easily defeat Richard Nixon, former Republican vice president and California senator, until anti-war protests forced his withdrawal. The upstart Democratic candidate Robert F. Kennedy quickly secured the national spotlight, only to be tragically assassinated in Los Angeles that June. While Nixon remained the front-runner, Hubert Humphrey, the last remaining cog of the Democratic political machine, was closing in. To defeat him, Nixon pulled off one of the greatest dirty tricks in American political history. 1968 set the tone for Watergate and all else that has followed in the new era of modern politics. For decades, O'Donnell has been a pioneer in the field of political commentary and entertainment. As both a producer of The West Wing and as the host of his own MSNBC show, "The Last Word," he has served as a voice of wisdom and integrity throughout the evolution of our political sphere. His new book, Playing With Fire, tells the story of a country coming apart at the seams in real time; it is a master class in the electioneering that took advantage of the chaos."

American Populists 43 mins \- Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss what, in C19th America's Gilded Age, was one of the most significant protest movements since the Civil War with repercussions well into C20th. Farmers in the South and Midwest felt ignored by the urban and industrial elites who were thriving as the farmers suffered droughts and low prices. The farmers were politically and physically isolated. As one man wrote on his abandoned farm, 'two hundred and fifty miles to the nearest post office, one hundred miles to wood, twenty miles to water, six inches to Hell'. They formed the Populist or People's Party to fight their cause, put up candidates for President, won several states and influenced policies. In the South, though, their appeal to black farmers stimulated their political rivals to suppress the black vote for decades and set black and poor white farmers against each other, tightening segregation. Aspects of the Populists ideas re-emerged effectively in Roosevelt's New Deal, even if they are mainly remembered now, if at all, thanks to allegorical references in The Wizard of Oz."

Hexagram  was  bought  by  ESCO in 2006. Shortly thereafter, Larry set up an endowment to ensure students would have a place to tinker.

In fact, even as our computers have gotten faster, our devices smarter, and our lives more connected, a peculiar thing has happened –analog objects have made a comeback. Print books remain twice as popular as e-readers, vinyl record sales hit a near 30-year high, and online retailers are opening brick and mortar stores.

They had grown attached to the first body they were dissecting -- an elderly woman whose chest cavity was nice and neat, but whose intestines were so ravaged by cancer there was no point in working on her anymore. But this new body on Table 4 proved more challenging, they said. "Now we can't see anything in our new body [in the chest], and we can't refer back to that first work we did," said student Samantha Ayoub, expressing the frustration of her six-person group.

Catherine Ball will discuss how the combination of DNA and family history data provides us with better sense of identity—a deeper and empowering understanding of who we are, how we connect to society and how we've been shaped by human history. Recently published research enables an unprecedented look at ancestral migration patterns, including 500 million genetic relationships, and ties these groups to historical events of the past 400 years.

 Ancestry and DNA 40 mins - "Growing up in Louisville, Kentucky, Tracy Clayton always heard that her ancestors were, in her mother's words, "black, white and American Indian." Like many black Americans, her immediate family didn't have exact information on their roots — that heritage is difficult to trace through ancestors forced into the American slave trade. What little information Tracy's family might have had was lost in a courthouse fire. Tracy says she didn't think about her ancestry very often until she moved to New York City, where she's the co-host, with Heben Nigatu, of the BuzzFeed podcast Another Round. New Yorkers, Tracy noticed, take pride in their ethnic identity. A number of her friends hang flags in their window, or march in pride parades based on their country of origin. With the help of DNA ancestry tests and experts on DNA and race, Tracy explores her own ethnic background. She accidentally upends her family lore — it turns out her she has very little Native American ancestry — and she also discovers why the mix of "black, white and American Indian" is such a common heritage myth among black Americans...."

 Anchorage '64 Earthquake 30 mins - "It was the middle of the night on March 27, 1964. Earlier that evening, the second-biggest earthquake ever measured at the time had hit Anchorage, Alaska. 115 people died. Some houses had been turned completely upside down while others had skidded into the sea. There was no light or power in the city — and for a long time, virtually no communication with the outside world. But there was one signal making it out of the devastated area. Running on backup generators and a cracked transmitter, a radio station in Anchorage continued to broadcast. Then a station in Fairbanks picked up that signal and repeated it. A man in Juneau picked up that Fairbanks station, called a radio station in Seattle and let the broadcast play over his phone. The president of that Anchorage radio station happened to be on a goodwill tour of Japan. And when he turned on a radio in Tokyo, he couldn't believe what he was hearing — it was the voice of his own "newsgirl" back home, a woman by the name of Genie Chance."

Should systems of punishment be strictly impartial, or should they be retributive, i.e., expressive of public anger? Nussbaum thinks that anger necessarily involves the desire for payback, and that this is nearly always unhelpful. We should instead use anger (or rather, change it into "transition anger") to look toward the future and prevent future harm. Whether in personal relationships, dealings with acquaintances, or in setting policy, anger as desire for payback tends only to further exacerbate bad situations. And "transactional forgiveness," i.e., debasing someone and making them jump through hoops before you accept an apology, is a historical relic that also just expresses hostility. But what about social justice—can anger help us focus on achieving that? Doesn't punishment need to express our collective anger against undesirable behaviors and those who perform them?

These cases raise questions -- about whether our state laws on breeding and animal cruelty should be tougher, about when neighbors and town officials should step in, and about the psychology of animal hoarding."

 Animal Crush Law 41 mins - "The Animal Crush Video Prohibition Act of 2010 was an animal cruelty prevention law aimed at videos showing women in high heels crushing small animals. While the law took aim at these videos, it ended up being used to target Robert Stevens instead. United States v. Stevens is a landmark case that may be the most important First Amendment decision of the 21st Century so far, but not many people have heard of it. It centers around Robert Stevens, a pit bull enthusiast who was charged with violating the crush video law in March 2004. The case eventually led the Supreme Court to make an important clarification about how we decide what speech is protected under the First Amendment. In this episode of Make No Law, the First Amendment Podcast by Popehat.com, host Ken White examines United States v. Stevens and the question of whether the government can continually come to the Supreme Court with potential exceptions to the First Amendment. The episode features input from Marc Randazza, a nationally-known First Amendment and intellectual property attorney. It also examines other relevant cases including New York v. Ferber, a 1982 case in which the Supreme Court decided that the government could punish distribution of child pornography even if it didn't meet the Miller test for obscenity."

 Animal CSI 5 mins - "At the International Mail Facility at New York's John F.

For trickier ID questions though, the inspectors often pack up suspicious samples of animals or plant material and ship them across the country to a facility in the hills of southern Oregon — the Fish and Wildlife Service's Forensics Lab.

Animal Farm 43 mins - "Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Animal Farm, which Eric Blair published under his pen name George Orwell in 1945. A biting critique of totalitarianism, particularly Stalinism, the essay sprung from Orwell's experiences fighting Fascists in Spain: he thought that all on the left were on the same side, until the dominant Communists violently suppressed the Anarchists and Trotskyists, and Orwell had to escape to France to avoid arrest. Setting his satire in an English farm, Orwell drew on the Russian Revolution of 1917, on Stalin's cult of personality and the purges. The leaders on Animal Farm are pigs, the secret police are attack dogs, the supporters who drown out debate with "four legs good, two legs bad" are sheep. At first, London publishers did not want to touch Orwell's work out of sympathy for the USSR, an ally of Britain in WW2, but the Cold War gave it a new audience and Animal Farm became a commercial as well as a critical success."

 Animal Intelligence 41 mins - "In 1921, residents of the small town of Swaythling in southern England were shocked to find the milk bottles on their doorsteps had been vandalised, with the foil caps pierced and the valuable cream gone. Fingers were pointed at possible culprits, but as the cream theft swept across the country – and eventually Europe – it was discovered that birds were in fact the thieves. Fast-forward to 2014 and researchers found that different populations of great tits showed different variations of this kind of feeding behaviour, leaving scientists to conclude that these birds were able to transmit cultural behaviours. But how does this kind of cultural transmission differ from that found in humans? What what does this tell us about general intelligence? And, fundamentally, how important is culture to our own evolutionary history? To help explore all this and more, Nicola Davis sits down with Professor Kevin Laland from the University of St Andrews, whose latest book, Darwin's Unfinished Symphony, suggests the human mind was built, in part, by culture. And to explore intelligence in other animals – including dolphins and orcas – is Professor Diana Reiss from Hunter College, New York."

That's changing though, and Utah biologist John Shivik has written a book that explores how wildlife and domesticated animals have evolved traits like shyness, charisma, or orneriness to adapt to the world around them. It's called "Mousy Cats and Sheepish Coyotes," and Shivik joins us to talk about it.

Anonymous versus ISIS 29 mins - "Following the terrorist attacks in Paris, French officials used metadata from a phone they found in a trashcan to gather information that made it possible to raid ISIS safe houses within a week. During these raids they were able to kill the suspected mastermind behind the operation, who was believed to be planning more attacks. Using a combination of cyber forensics and traditional police work, the French identified and successfully raided the purported hideout of the suspected ringleader. Considering our advanced technology, many are left questioning how this happened in the first place? And looking forward, can governments really prevent future acts of terrorism by building backdoors into encryption? In this episode of Digital Detectives, Sharon Nelson and John Simek discuss the digital forensics of the Paris attacks and the aftermath, including a surfacing argument about cryptic communication, the response from French, British, and American governments, and how Anonymous, the hacker group, has gotten involved. ...Stay until the end of the podcast to hear about Anonymous's war on ISIS and the hypocritical nature of ISIS's use of social media."

Vertical miles of ice encase air bubbles that hold bits of atmosphere... some dating as far back as a million years ago. Fossil records show the place was once green, teeming with life,...[but now holds] 90% of the planet's ice...and those 7.2 million cubic miles of ice are now melting at unprecedented rates... Scientists have predicted that even partial melting of the Antarctic ice will raise sea levels enough to force the 150 million people around the world—including parts of New York City, Miami and Mumbai, India—to abandon their homes."

**Antibiotic Resistance** 61 mins \- "Hailed as one of the most important achievements in medicine, the discovery and subsequent introduction of antibiotics meant that people could be treated and cured of once-fatal bacterial infections. However, the overuse and abuse of antibiotics is a growing public health concern, both in the United States and across the globe. Over time, bacteria have evolved to develop resistance to drugs that normally would kill them or limit their growth. As a consequence, many antibiotics have become less effective and are enabling untreatable strains of carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and other bacteria to survive and multiply. Ramanan Laxminarayan will discuss this problem and potential solutions during the 2016 John Ring LaMontagne Memorial Lecture... During the lecture, Laxminarayan will review the current supply of antibiotics and highlight promising new products in the development pipeline. He will also describe global patterns and trends in antibiotic resistance and antibiotic use in humans and animals. Further, Laxminarayan will discuss interventions to help streamline antibiotic use that could be applied in many different countries...."At the link: To download this event, select one of the available bitrates:[64k] [150k] [240k] [440k] [740k] [1040k] [1240k] [1440k] [1840k], right-click it and select Save Link As" from the pop-up menu.

Antibiotics 68 mins - "...There's a time bomb ticking that is going to affect us all. Whether you are a sub-Saharan subsistence farmer or a New Yorker buying a super-smoothie in Wholefoods, there will be no escape. The threat? An invisible army of super-resistant bacteria is on the march. Antibiotics, the drugs that have saved millions of lives and are critical for the world's health and wellbeing, have become a victim of their own success. Their overuse and misuse have helped bacteria and other infectious bugs to develop resistance to them, meaning that many infections are no longer effectively treatable by current medicines. Every year 700,000 people die of drug-resistant infections, and experts predict that this number could rise to 10 million. On top of this, recent research points to a possible link between antibiotics and obesity, as well as type 2 diabetes and asthma. If the link with obesity sounds surprising, it shouldn't. Antibiotics have been used not just to combat sickness, but to promote weight gain and faster growth in farm animals for several decades. In fact, around 70% of antibiotics in the US are given to livestock, and this has a knock-on effect on human health, as the resistant strains of bacteria get into the food chain and are consumed by us. Antibiotic residues have also been found in crops that have been fertilised with manure from livestock and in the water supply – so going vegan does not guarantee protection. We risk entering a post-antibiotic era where routine operations such as hip replacements and cancer treatment, which rely on effective antibiotic medicines, will become much more dangerous, and people will die of common infections as they did 100 years ago. This is a global problem, whose impact will be felt by everyone everywhere. To beat it, people and communities need to get informed and engaged. We are going to have to take urgent action at every level, from governments right down to the individual consumer. That's why Intelligence Squared, in partnership with the World Health Organization and the Wellcome Trust, brought together an international panel of speakers from science, agriculture, food production and consumer activism, to discuss what is being done and must be done to reverse the situation for the long term. The event took place on September 14th at the New York Academy of Sciences, one week before the high level United Nations meeting on the subject." At the link find the title, "The End of Antibiotics?

 Antibiotics in Farm Animals 21 mins - "...The Animal Health Institute found Levy and offered to fund a study on behalf of farm antibiotics.

Growth promoters' proponents hoped the answer would be no....The Downings accepted the challenge—for fun and out of curiosity, and because being unconventional had never worried them before.... There was one footnote to what Levy had found, and for years it would influence efforts to control farm antibiotic use: The Downings had not gotten sick. There are many strains of E. coli, and the one that resided in the chickens' guts and crossed to their owners was not a disease-causing one. Instead, it was a commensal, one of the range of benign bacteria that occupy the gut and pervade the world without causing illness. On the scientists' side, this did not diminish therisk; it only made the bacterial traffic more complicated. But it would allow those who chose not to believe in the threat to downplay the danger."

 Antiviral Drugs 18 mins - "In this episode of Contagious Thinking Elihu and Connor talk with Steve Polyak from the University of Washington in Seattle USA about how some drugs stop viruses from infecting us. In particular we chat about his work on a drug Arbidol that can block many viruses and is actually an over-the-counter medicine in Russia and China. All life lives in a sea of viruses, and some of those viruses can make us sick. Humans have thus developed many ways to stop these rare viruses causing illness. One major important example are vaccines. Another are a class of medicines called antivirals that stop a virus from making new viruses when they get inside our cells. Some of these antivirals can control an infection successfully for the lifetime of an individual, like with HIV and others – like for hepatitis C virus, an important long term infection – can cure an infection so that there is no more virus in your body. But have you ever wondered what it takes to make antiviral drugs? Steve gives us a glimpse of the work scientists worldwide do to understand how small molecules can mess with viruses. Steve is in the UK as a Cheney Fellow at the University of Leeds where he's working with Professor Mark Harris and others. Steve's lab's investigations focuses on the important work of pinning down the mechanism by which Arbidol and other similar drugs can attack lots of different viruses.

Apartheid Decline 32 mins - "Back in the 1980's, when Louis Smuts was growing up in Johannesburg, South Africa, his family couldn't go outside together without risking arrest. "My mother would always walk behind [my father] wherever they went," he recalls. And in the car, she would sit in the back and pretend to be the family maid. At the time, Smuts didn't understand that only white people could move freely in the city, while black South Africans were pushed to the outskirts. The country's white-ruled government called this system by the Afrikaans word "apartheid," meaning "separateness." Under apartheid, white people had access to the best schools, jobs and healthcare. Smuts' father was white and his mother was colored—a South African term for people of mixed race. They had gotten married in neighboring Swaziland, but back home their marriage was illegal. Apartheid leaders claimed that segregated cities were better for everyone, and apartheid was strictly enforced. Police would patrol neighborhoods to make sure that white people and black people weren't living together. But the system was never airtight, and people found creative ways to slip through the cracks."

 Appalachia 52 mins - " I grew up in Appalachia. Okay, I didn't come from the kind of Appalachia that's often associated with the stereotype of ignorant, welfare check-collecting "hicks" living "up the holler." I grew up in Charleston, WV, which is and was much like "Suburban Anywhere, USA." Even so, I've always been sensitive about the "dumb hillbilly" stereotype. I remember the first time I traveled outside of my region and heard people tease me about my hillbilly accent. This is a big reason you don't hear much of a 'mountain twang' in my speech anymore. To this day, I still wince when I hear the jokes about toothless rednecks swilling moonshine and shacking up with their kinfolk. I politely smile when I hear this, but truthfully, I often find some people's attitudes about Appalachia to be cruel and condescending. That's how I feel based on my suburban Appalachian experience. Imagine how people feel who live in "real Appalachia." Back in August, my West Virginia Public Broadcasting colleagues Jessica Lilly and Roxy Todd, who produce the program Inside Appalachia, put out a wonderful episode that focused on what happens when strangers with cameras go to Appalachia. This show gets into these hillbilly stereotypes and how some Appalachians feel the outsiders view them like animals they see on a safari or even worse, human oddities at a carnival freak show. The way that Jessica and Roxy focus on this gets right to the heart of what we try to consider with Us & Them. I liked it so much I just had to share it with our show's growing audience."

Arabic Satire 28 mins - "Syrian police arrest a number of dead people in a cemetery. Laugh out loud, sharp intake of breath, or both? This is the sort of uncomfortable material produced by young Arab satirists. Since the Arab Spring, hopes for change have been dashed across much of the Arab world, but the revolts have unleashed online satire targeting social injustice, corruption and political leaders. In this programme, journalist Magdi Abdelhadi – himself from Egypt – takes a closer look at satire in the Arab World. Among its rising stars are Andeel, a young Egyptian satirist angrily taking aim at the patriarchal order; the TV show Scenario, made by Syrians in Turkey, which lampoons the Assad regime, with President Assad himself often portrayed as a village fool; and Al Hudood, a satirical news website produced from London and Jordan, responsible for that cemetery sketch. We hear samples of these young satirists' work, but also discover where the boundaries lie: when asked whether they can ridicule the Jordanian royal family, there's a lot of squirming among Al Hudood's journalist. Arabic satire has a long tradition, rooted amongst other things in poetry using ordinary 'street Arabic' to lampoon public figures. Together with expert Clive Holes from Oxford University, Magdi explores some of those traditions and hears some of the most famous sketches of the genre. And he meets one of the biggest names in Arab satire, Karl Sharro from Lebanon, who works in English – taking the genre to the world stage."

Cary calls for architects and designers to expand their ranks and commit to serving the public good, not just the privileged few.

With an estimated 25 percent of the world's undiscovered oil and gas reserves, and with climate change making shorter maritime routes through Arctic waters possible, the rewards of successful economic development are plentiful. However, the remote, pristine frontier is home to some of the world's harshest conditions making energy development, maritime trade and tourism increasingly difficult and dangerous. The Arctic is also home to indigenous communities whose livelihoods are likely to be challenged by both the effects of climate change and increasing external human activity in the region. On April 17, the Energy Security Initiative at Brookings hosted a forum to discuss the implications of greater Arctic energy and natural resource development and assessed how the international community can best cooperate to ensure that such developments are done in an environmentally and socially sustainable manner. The forum begins with keynote remarks from Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, president of Iceland, and Kuupik Kleist, a member of Parliament of Greenland and former Greenland prime minister. Other speakers included the incoming Chair of the Senior Arctic Officials of the Arctic Council, Patrick Borbey; David Hayes, deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Interior; and Mead Treadwell, lieutenant governor of the State of Alaska."

Going far beyond a typical tidying how-to, her method is a way of life and a state of mind. Marie captured the findings in her mega-best-selling books, including The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing and its follow-up, Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up. Her books have sold more than seven million copies and have been published in more than forty countries. Kondo's methods have become so famous that her last name has become a verb, 'Kondo-ing,' and people who share her specific values are referred to as 'Konverts.' She has been named one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people. Marie is also the Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of KonMari Media Inc.

 Aspergillus and the Fungal Toxin Problem 21 mins - "Nancy Keller is a Professor of Bacteriology and Medical Microbiology and Immunology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. A mycologist, Dr. Keller works with a genus of fungi called Aspergillus – many of which are potent plant and human pathogens that produce deadly mycotoxins. Her research focuses on finding those aspects of Aspergillus species that make them effective as pathogens and toxin factories. Tiny fungi cause big problems for agriculture and human health, and the U.S. alone spends millions of dollars every year to fight the fungi that attack crops. Aspergillus fungi, in particular, cause a problem for crop plants themselves, but the bigger concern is the mycotoxins they produce: aflatoxin is one of the most potent naturally-occurring toxins ever discovered. What's more, aflatoxin and other Aspergillus toxins are carcinogenic. The bottom line? Exposure to large amounts of these fungal toxins can kill you quickly, and exposure to small amounts can kill you slowly. On this episode, I talk with Dr. Keller about her work with Aspergillus, why we don't even know how big the fungal toxin problem is, how reproduction and toxin-making are linked in these fungi, and how we may eventually use viruses as weapons against pathogenic fungi."

In this story from May, reporter Patrick Madden of WAMU found that the charge of assaulting a police officer, which is meant to shield police from danger, also can be used as a tactic against citizens. Students at the Investigative Reporting Workshop at American University and WAMU researched 2,000 cases to see where most APO charges go down in D.C. Check out the map they made to see where these arrests took place. Notice that concentrations occur in the central part of the urban area and in predominantly black neighborhoods in the Southeast.

 Assessing Case for US Export of Nat Gas 97 mins -Assessing the Case for U.S. Exports of Liquefied Natural Gas. The boom in domestic natural gas production raised the prospect of exporting it. Proponents argue it would provide valuable foreign exchange income, a strategic asset for U.S. foreign policy, and a source of economic growth and job creation. Some opponents contend exporting U.S. gas would increase domestic natural gas prices, resulting in higher prices and reduced domestic competitiveness. The Energy Security Initiative at Brookings (ESI) conducted a year-long study into the feasibility and implications of potential U.S. LNG exports and released a  #47 page report, the basis for this discussion with three of the report's expert task force.

Astrobiologist 37 mins - "Sometimes when we are having personal or health problems, it helps to get an outside perspective: talk to other friends who have experienced similar problems and how they dealt with them, and other friends about how they avoided those problems. Talk to experts. Then using all that input, we try to make the best choice to solve the problems and to live a long and happy life. This is perhaps the situation we find ourselves in now with the health of our environment and the long-term viability of the human race. So where to we look for that "outside perspective" and expert help? The answer may be: look to other planets and talk to those who study them. This is the approach astrobiologist Dr. David Grinspoon takes in his new book: "Earth in Human Hands: Shaping Our Planet's Future". Dr. Grinspoon is a senior scientist at the Planetary Science Institute, an adjunct professor at the University of Colorado, and in 2013 he was appointed the inaugural Chair of Astrobiology at the Library of Congress. We had a chance to talk with Dr. Grinspoon about how he compares Earth's story to those of other planets, and how our present moment is not only one of peril, but also great potential, especially when viewed from a 10,000-year perspective...."

Assisting him in this was his sister, Caroline Herschel, who would become an exceptional astronomer in her own right. He would seek to answer questions about the Sun's motion through space, the behavior of variable stars, the nature of stellar spectra, the shape of the Milky Way galaxy and the Sun's position in it and the composition of nebulae. In 1788, he married Mary Pitt (nee Baldwin) and, in 1792, fathered a son, John Herschel, who would go on to be the preeminent scientist of the mid-18th century; competing his father's catalogue work by extending his observations to the Southern Hemisphere and doing much to create the technology of photography as well as making significant contributions to the philosophy of science.

In Matter of A-B the Attorney General overturned a Board of Immigration Appeals case in an attempt to eliminate domestic and gang violence as grounds for granting asylum. Such serious harm is often one of the central reasons why asylum seekers, especially from Central America, flee. Other new policies include criminally prosecuting asylum seekers who cross the border unlawfully for the first time; pushing back families without valid visas who seek asylum at ports of entry (despite laws that allow people to apply for protection at legal crossing points); detaining families, including pregnant women, while they pursue an asylum claim; and imposing case completion quotas on immigration judges so that they issue asylum and other immigration decisions more quickly.

 Asylum System in U.S. 59 mins \- "The United States has a long tradition of offering humanitarian protection to those in need. Yet in recent years, a confluence of factors has led to a large and growing backlog of asylum cases, with many applicants waiting years for a decision. This slowdown has both harmed those eligible for protection and invited misuse, with some claims filed to secure the right to remain in the country and receive the work authorization granted when cases are delayed. Faced with a system in crisis, the Trump administration has taken a number of actions to narrow access to asylum in the United States. These include largely eliminating gang and domestic violence as grounds for asylum and introducing a "zero-tolerance" approach to border enforcement that entails prosecuting all first-time border crossers, including adult asylum seekers, for illegal entry—a policy that for a time led to the separation of apprehended parents from their children. This webinar marks the publication of an important **MPI report** that analyses the factors that have brought the U.S. asylum system to a crisis point and proposes common-sense steps that can be implemented now to jump-start rescuing it. The report co-authors, Doris Meissner, Faye Hipsman, and T.

 Asylums or Not 69 mins - "A Debate on Treating Mental Illness: Should We Bring Back Asylums? Approximately 10 million Americans suffer from serious mental illness. Over the past 60 years, various social, political and economic forces have resulted in the closing of publicly funded psychiatric institutions in favor of community treatment, in which outpatient options and the ability to live independently seemed promising and in many cases less expensive than inpatient care. Should severely mentally ill people be integrated within the community? Or should asylums be revisited? How would individuals come to be placed in such asylums? What civil rights issues come into play? How would such institutions be funded? Who would staff them and how would training and management ensure humane care? How could modern psychopharmacology and neuromedicine be applied? How could such institutions be structured to perhaps have different levels of institutionalization, from semi-independent living to more comprehensive care? How could they be made into places where people want to be, because their lives would be better than on their own? Critics such as Dr. Dominic Sisti, principal author of a new report from The University of Pennsylvania, argue that comprehensive, accessible and fully integrated community-based mental health care continues to be an unmet promise... Dr. Sisti says that new models of fully integrated, patient-centered long-term psychiatric care now exist in the United States and that such facilities are needed to provide 21st-century care to patients with chronic, serious mental illness. Advocates for community treatment, such as Dr. Renee Binder, president of the American Psychiatric Association, argue that the answer to better treatment lies not in the fact that asylums have been closed but that they have not been replaced with adequate funding.

And many of the founding fathers and others were very worried about what it would do to attention and distraction and productive labor and violence amongst youth and sexual promiscuity around youth to have them be reading all these wild things called Novels, which were the art form of the middle classes made possible by mass printing. And when people started getting upset about video games and the internet and social networking and saying it ruined our attention and caused distraction and made people unproductive and led youth astray and was leading this sexual promiscuity, and violent, and etc, etc. I said to him'Well that sounds familiar.'"

In this exclusive talk for Intelligence Squared, Goleman discusses the themes of his latest book, 'Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence'. Attention, he argues is an underrated asset for high achievers in any field. Incorporating findings from neuroscience, Goleman shows why we need three kinds of focus: inner, for self-awareness; other, for the empathy that builds effective relationships; and outer, for understanding the larger systems in which organisations operate. Those who excel rely on Smart Practices such as mindfulness meditation, focused preparation and positive emotions that help improve habits, add new skills, and sustain excellence."

Modern medicine, dedicated to prolonging life, inevitably runs counter to the natural condition of aging and death. Nursing homes, hospitals and doctors, in the process of provide the aging and dying with the best care, continue to pin patients to railed beds and carry out devastating procedures that ultimately extend suffering. A practicing surgeon and MacArthur fellow, Gawande addresses his profession's ultimate limitation, arguing that quality of life is the desired goal for patients and families. Gawande offers examples of more socially fulfilling models for assisting the infirm and dependent elderly, and he explores the varieties of hospice care to demonstrate that a person's last weeks or months may be rich and dignified.

And his challenge for global health is to address the inequalities in access to resources and expertise both within and between countries.

He says that the lesson from this dramatic narrative is that effective systems can provide major improvements in success rates for surgery and other medical procedures.

He says the teacher was only able to do this because of an essential honesty from her physicians and the people around her. Dr. Gawande argues that the common reluctance of society and medical institutions to recognise the limits of what professionals can do can end up increasing the suffering of patients towards the end of life. He proposes that both doctors and individuals ask a series of simple but penetrating questions to decide what kind of treatment is appropriate - or whether treatment is appropriate at all.

He argues that despite its scientific advances, medicine has failed to exploit its knowledge successfully.

Australian Aboriginal Music 27 mins - "Country music is commonly associated with downtrodden, lovelorn, white inhabitants of America's rural south, but it has also long been a significant form of expression for Australia's Aboriginal peoples. Country music became popular 'down under' during the first half of the 20th Century. Thanks to gramophone recordings, wind-up radios and touring bands, it even reached the bush where most Aboriginals lived, often more or less imprisoned on missions and government-controlled reserves. At a time when their own cultural heritage was being systematically erased, country music became a medium through which they could maintain their practice of sharing stories via the oral tradition. Its resonance was enhanced by melodies which tended towards the melancholic. As one musician put it "country music was all about loss, and we'd lost everything". Through country music, Aboriginal people were able to give voice to their personal experiences and ongoing struggles for justice. Songs describe, for example, how babies and land were stolen, incidents of racism, poor living conditions, and high levels of incarceration. Country music, far from its origins, has thus become a deeply moving and powerful Aboriginal activism art form.

Autistic Man Shooting 6 hrs [8 parts] - "In the summer of 2016, a police shooting upended the life of Arnaldo Rios Soto, a 26-year old, non-speaking, autistic man. Aftereffect tells Arnaldo's story -- a hidden world of psych wards, physical abuse and chemical restraints -- and asks the question: What made Arnaldo's life go so wrong? ...Just before 5pm on Monday July 18th, 2016, a 26-year old autistic man named Arnaldo Rios Soto walked out of his North Miami home. He had a silver toy truck in his hand. Hours later, his life would be changed forever. A passing motorist mistook Arnaldo's toy for a gun and called 911. Police and SWAT arrived and the confrontation was captured in a cell phone video. The encounter left Arnaldo's behavioral aide - a black man named Charles Kinsey - severely wounded, and it left Arnaldo in need of round-the-clock care. As a result, three police officers lost their jobs, including the now-former North Miami chief of police, Gary Eugene. In his words: "We blew it."..."The shooting left Arnaldo severely traumatized, unable to remain in the group home where Charles Kinsey had taken care of him. Shortly after, Arnaldo was involuntarily committed to a hospital psych ward, where a typical stay of just a few days stretched into well over a month as the state of Florida struggled to find a new home for him. Eventually, Arnaldo finds himself in a new facility with a well-documented track record of abuse and neglect. It's Halloween when we first meet Arnaldo face to face. Ironically, after everything he's endured, the staff have dressed him in a police costume." "Since the beginning, Arnaldo's mother struggled to find adequate care for her autistic son. Her memories are often painful: the doctors who wouldn't diagnose him; the staff who punched him, drugged him, tied his hands behind his back in a classroom chair. These early experiences shaped Arnaldo. In this episode, we talk with a number of people who've cared for him. They recount a sweet, affectionate young man who was also capable of violent outbursts and fits of rage. Hidden beneath Arnaldo's story is a disability-services system starved of funding; facilities trying to squeeze every dollar out of their residents; and staff members willing to restrain their clients by any means necessary." ..."One day in February, a group of staff packed up Arnaldo's belongings, moved him out of Carlton Palms and into a three-bedroom house in a suburban neighborhood. On its face, it's the type of setting disability advocates strive toward. Arnaldo has his own bedroom, more autonomy, a staff that looks after him. At the moment, Arnaldo is the only resident. He'll eventually share the house with two other men, but just days before the first is slated to join Arnaldo, he dies - under suspicious circumstances in the care of Carlton Palms."

 Auto Fatality Database 34 mins - "In the past fifty years, the car crash death rate has dropped by nearly 80 percent in the United States. And one of the reasons for that drop has to do with the "accident report forms" that police officers fill out when they respond to a wreck. Officers use these forms to document the weather conditions, to draw a diagram of the accident, and to identify the collision's "primary cause." For the more than 30,000 fatal car crashes that happen each year, information gathered on the side of the road goes from the accident report form into a federal database: the Fatality Analysis Reporting System...."

 Automation Paradox 20 mins - "...For nearly as long as there's been an auto industry, there have been dreams of a car that drives on its own. In 1956, the year that "Key to the Future" was shown at Motorama, there were nearly 38,000 vehicle-related deaths in the United States. Since then, there hasn't been year with fewer than 30,000 people killed in car accidents. And because more than 90% of all automobile accidents are all attributable to human error, for some industry people, a fully-automated car is a kind of holy grail. However, as automation makes our lives easier and safer, it also creates more complex systems, and fewer humans who understand those systems. Which means when problems do arise—people can be left unable to deal with them. Human factors engineers call this "the automation paradox." Last week, in our story about automation in aviation, we heard about various ways the industry is people trying to deal with this paradox. ...Google has a very different approach.

Autopsy by CT Scan 27 mins \- When someone dies unexpectedly and doctors can't be certain of the cause, a pathologist can conduct a post mortem. This can be very distressing for relatives – as it involves cutting open the head and the body of the deceased. One alternative – using a CT scanner to x-ray the body – has now been shown to be as effective as a traditional autopsy in establishing the cause of death. Spring in the Middle East always heralds the days of dust – roughly 50 days of storms known in Arabic as the khamaseen. While they are a natural occurrence, meteorologists say they are becoming more intense and more frequent, leading to fears of increased health problems for anyone exposed to the dust. Dale Gavlak reports from Wadi Rum, in the Jordanian desert. Passengers on flights can get sick – and occasionally someone might have a heart attack which is difficult to treat in the air.

Average Concept 21 mins - "In many ways, the built world was not designed for you. It was designed for the average person. Standardized tests, building codes, insurance rates, clothing sizes, The Dow Jones – all these measurements are based around the concept of an "average." The modern use of averages was pioneered by a Belgian mathematician and astronomer named Adolphe Quetelet. In the 1830s, astronomers were some of the only people that regularly calculated averages, since early telescopes were extremely imprecise. To obtain more accurate data for say, tracking the orbits of planets, astronomers would take multiple measurements (all of which were slightly different) add them together, then divide by the number of observations to get a better approximation of the true value. Quetelet was the first to take this tool of astronomers and apply it to people. Chest dimensions of Scottish soldiers (1846) ...By the 1840s and 50s, Quetelet had become a celebrity, and his radical new science had begun to influence a whole range of people, including Karl Marx and Abraham Lincoln."

Awake Intubations 27 mins \- "It requires forethought and humility–you must be able to say to yourself, "I am not sure I will be able to successfully intubate this patient." However, the payoff for this thought process is enormous. You can attempt an intubation on a difficult airway with very few downsides. If you get it, you look like a star, if you don't you have not made the situation worse. Two of my critical care resident specialists, Raghu Seethala and Xun Zhong, volunteered to intubate each other awake. The purpose of this was to let them gain experience, understand what their patients would feel during the procedure, and to prove that awake intubation can be done without complicated nerve block injections or fragile equipment, such as a bronchoscope."

Unfortunately, too often this approach is applied inappropriately and fails to provide the expected relief. According to Dr. David Hanscom, a leading spine surgeon, back pain can be overcome, but surgery is frequently NOT the best choice. People with chronic back pain may need to overcome their anger and anxiety and use an integrated approach to build new neural pathways that circumvent the pain.

But her discomfort only intensified, leaving her feeling frustrated and perplexed. As she searched for better solutions, she exposed a much bigger problem. Costing roughly $100 billion a year, spine medicine—often ineffective and sometimes harmful—exemplified the worst aspects of the U.S. health-care system. The result of six years of intensive investigation, her new book, _Crooked_ , offers a startling look at the poorly identified risks of spine medicine, providing practical advice and solutions. Ramin interviewed scores of spine surgeons, pain management doctors, physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians, exercise physiologists, physical therapists, chiropractors, and specialized bodywork practitioners. She met with many patients whose pain and desperation led them to make life-altering decisions—and with others who triumphed over their limitations. The result is a brilliant and comprehensive book that is not only important but essential to millions of back pain sufferers and all types of health-care professionals. Ramin shatters assumptions about surgery, chiropractic methods, physical therapy, spinal injections and painkillers while addressing evidence-based rehabilitation options—showing, in detail, how to avoid therapeutic dead ends and also save money, time and considerable anguish.

The backfire effect has his special allure to it, because, on the surface, it seems to explain something we've all experienced -- when we argue with people who believe differently than us, who see the world through a different ideological lens -- they often resist our views, refuse to accept our way of seeing things, and it often seems like we do more harm than good, because they walk away seemingly more entrenched in their beliefs than before the argument began. But...since those shows last year, researchers have produced a series new studies into the backfire effect that complicate things. Yes, we are observing something here, and yes we are calling it the backfire effect, but everything is not exactly as it seems, and so I thought we should invite these new researchers on the show and add a fourth episode to the backfire effect series based on what they've found.

Bacterial Biofilms 48 mins \- "Most bacteria live a sedentary lifestyle in community structures called biofilms. Vaughn Cooper tells us what bacterial biofilms are, why biofilms differ from test tube environments, and how long-term evolution experiments combined with population genomics are teaching us how bacteria really work. He also discusses using hands-on bacterial evolution activities to introduce high schoolers to future STEM possibilities. Julie's biggest takeaways: Cells in a biofilm shift to dedicate their resources to protection rather than reproduction. This allows biofilms to be innately more resistant to antibiotics than those growing in planktonic culture. One of the least-understood parts of a biofilm cycle is the dispersal stage. What cues or signals influence some biofilm-embedded cells to leave? This is a vital part of biofilm formation, since these dispersal cells can eventually attach to a new surface and restart the process of forming a biofilm. The bead system of biofilm propagation allows Vaughn and his colleagues to study the long-term evolution of biofilms. This system, combined with population genomics, allows the study of all the different genetic changes within the population. Traditional genetic screens compare libraries of mutants to see which survive under different conditions. Rather than on libraries of mutant strains, evolution works on random mutants that arise naturally. The accessibility of sequencing technologies has changed the way scientists study evolution, as now the mutations can be found as they form, rather than being seeded into the initial mutant library screen. High schoolers using nonpathogenic bacteria can study evolution in action by developing new colony morphologies. Work with high schoolers and their teachers has shown students who do hands-on learning do better on standardized tests and that girls, especially, express higher interest in technology and an interest in STEM careers after a 1-2 week project...."

Ann witnessed first-hand the terrifying speed that biological controls, another mollusc introduced to kill a different, larger predatory snail, instead turned on Partula, and within a few short years, drove them to extinction in the wild. The subsequent scramble to save the species resulted in the launch of a global effort called The Frozen Ark to save the genetic resources of all animals which, like partula, face obliteration. The Frozen Ark was founded by Ann, her husband and the late Professor Ann MacLaren and with consortium members around the world, tissue and genetic material from threatened fauna is preserved as an ultimate animal conservation back-up. More than 48,000 samples have been collected by Frozen Ark members in zoos and natural history museums around the world from more than 5,500 different species. Frozen samples inform multiple captive breeding programmes, including at London Zoo, where descendants of partula rescued from extinction, are being bred ready for re-introduction back to their home in French Polynesia..."

Bacterial Resistance 27 mins - "Claudia Hammond focusses on the attempts to discover new antibiotics, and alternative therapies for combating bacterial infection. Most of the antibiotics we use were discovered in the mid-20th century, but as the threat of drug resistant infections increases, the race is on to find new organisms that make novel medicines. We have only identified a tiny fraction of the microbes living on Earth and are "bioprospecting" for useful ones in wildly different locations. Antibiotics are not the only weapon in the war against bacteria. A hundred years ago, a class of virus that infect and destroy bacteria were discovered. They're called bacteriophages. Phage therapies were used throughout the era of Soviet Russia, and still are in some countries, including Georgia. Phage researcher Prof Martha Clokie told us whether phage therapy might be coming to the UK. With expert comment from James Gallagher, BBC News health reporter.

Wherever you locate yourself on that spectrum of tolerance. You too, have your limits. In the mid 1980s, a group of people in Oregon discovered their tipping point when a massive commune moved in next door.

Balance Problems 4 mins - "...More recently we have also used another technique based on magnetic fields called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) which is a noninvasive way to stimulate a tiny part of the brain through the intact skull and temporarily inhibit its function. We have attacked the problem of the disturbed, disabling and distressing perceptions about whether they are upright or tilted which patients with inner ear labyrinthine and more central brain disorders can have and the consequent imbalance they experience. TMS allows us to stimulate a focal part of the brain, transiently inhibit its function and see how this influences higher-level integration of sensations that normally allow us to create a stable perception of the world. We measure the influence of these mini transient interruptions on one's ability to decide what is upright by having the subject report on how upright a line looks. Our results so far indicate that a very small area of the brain is crucial for this and in particular this area functions most when we are faced with conflicting information about where we are (for example if our head it titled but our body is not). We call this making the correct coordinate transformations to achieve the necessary coherence amongst information from our eyes, our neck muscles and joints and our inner ears. We hope to develop this technique as a diagnostic test for patients with complicated perceptual problems and to give clues as to how we might rehabilitate them (for example with Tai Chi or Qi Gong exercises)...."

Barbed Wire 23 mins - "In the mid 1800s, not many (non-native) Americans had ever been west of the Mississippi. When Frederick Law Olmstead visited the west in the 1850s, he remarked that the plains looked like a sea of grasses that moved "in swells after a great storm." Massive herds of buffalo wandered the plains. Cowboys shepherded cattle across long stretches of no man's land. It was truly the wild and unmanaged west, but it was all about to change, due, in large part, to one very simple invention that would come to be known as "the devil's rope."

 Barbituric Acid 8 mins - "'No small art is it to sleep: it is necessary for that purpose to keep awake all day.' Thus speaks the sage in Thus speaks Zarathustra, Friedrich Nietzsche's work of philosophical fiction, pronouncing untroubled sleep God's reward for a day lived virtuously. But Zarathustra, the vehicle for Nietzsche's new, godless philosophy, is unconvinced – he dismisses the sage and his followers as unenlightened sleepwalkers, retorting 'Blessed are the sleepy ones, for they will soon drop off.' Now, whether you believe that deities dictate dozing, or that sleep is assuredly secular, adherents of both philosophies at least agree that sleep is not always easily achieved. Who has not lain awake feeling the dawn's slow approach, exhausted but unable to slumber? Thankfully, merciful chemistry is agnostic and throughout history, the sleepless just and unjust alike have appealed to her for reprieve."

Are they right to blame home-sharing websites like Airbnb? And all eyes are on Barcelona's mayor Ada Colau, a former activist and one of the key representatives of the so-called "new politics" in Spain.

By the mid 1800s, women were leaving home to work in factories and much more, and if you believed in preserving the separate spheres, the concept that men and women should only cross paths at breakfast and dinner, then as we approached the 20th century, this created a lot of anxiety for you.

 Battery Developments 9 mins - "At Tesla, Peter Carlsson spent nearly five years at Elon Musk's side, locating various parts of the Model S as the electric car company's global supply chain manager. "The overarching goal of Tesla is to help reduce carbon emissions, and that means low cost and high volume," Musk said back in 2006. "We will also serve as an example to the auto industry, proving that the technology really works and customers want to buy electric vehicles." Now, as Tesla builds its Gigafactory in the Nevada desert, the company is recapitulating that mission, aiming to reduce not just the energy consumed by its cars, but the energy used to build its battery in the first place. Tesla says the factory will employ rooftop solar and wind turbines for energy, along with a closed loop water system. But Carlsson, who left Silicon Valley in 2015 for his native Sweden, wants to make his own progress toward the goal of green batteries. In May, Carlsson and fellow former Tesla executive Paolo Cerruti announced plans to build their own $4.5 billion electric battery plant to power electric cars, trucks, ships and, of course, a few Swedish snowmobiles. "We will produce a battery with significantly lower carbon footprint than the current supply chains," Carlsson said during a September visit to his office in downtown Stockholm. His startup firm Northvolt is raising $120 million for the first phase of the plant, which Carlsson says will produce 32 Gigawatt-hours when fully running in 2023. How will they do it? Raw materials like graphite and nickel will be sourced from deposits in Sweden, while cobalt will come from a huge refiner in Finland. Renewable energy will flow from Sweden's hydropower dams. Waste heat will be recycled to keep factory neighbors warm in the winter. Old batteries will get new life through recycling....With Carlsson, a bit of Silicon Valley's hard-charging corporate DNA has been inserted to Sweden's cooler corporate tech culture. Sweden is one of the greenest countries on the planet, but whether Northvolt can turn that ethos into a successful car battery might depend more on future European and American car buyers."

For the last twenty years she has sought to understand the precise chemistry of the rechargeable lithium ion battery. And her insights have led to some significant improvements. In 2015 she built a working prototype of a new kind of battery for electric cars, the lithium air battery. If this laboratory model can be made to run on air not oxygen, it could transform the future, by making electric cars more energy efficient and considerably cheaper. Clare talks to Jim Al-Khalili about the years she has spent studying rechargeable batteries, seeking to understand, very precisely, the chemical reactions that take place inside them; and how this kind of fundamental understanding can help us to make batteries that are fit for the 21st century.

 Bearings in Machines 76 mins - "Carmen and Jeff discuss mechanical bearings in this episode of The Engineering Commons podcast. ... A distinction is made between rotational and linear-motion bearings. Non-contact fluid bearings may be of the hydrostatic or hydrodynamic variety. Magnetic bearings allow for higher relative motion velocities, albeit at a higher cost than other non-contact bearings. ... A flexure bearing allows relative motion to take place through bending of the bearing element. The lid of a Tic Tac box provides an example of a flexure bearing. The two most commons types of bearings are journal bearings and rolling-element bearings. Oilite is a porous bronze alloy impregnated with an oil lubricant. Engineers must consider the trade offs between using oil or grease when lubricating a bearing. A starting point for choosing a plain bearing is calculating a PV value (pdf). A pillow block may be used to attach a bearing to a component lacking room for a bearing bore. A ball bearing consists of an inner race, an outer race, balls, and a cage. Assembling a ball bearing is fairly straightforward once you've seen how it's done. Ball bearings may be ordered with either shields or seals to limit the amount of contamination able to reach the rolling elements. Bearing quality can vary significantly between manufacturers. A variety of roller bearings can be used to support greater radial and axial loads than can be handled by a ball bearing. It's important to apply the correct amount of preload to angular contact bearings...."

They're the most common class of insecticide in the world, used on crops all over the planet. And those studies raised alarming questions about the impact of neonicotinoids on both the birds and the bees. We sent freelance science writer, and Quirks contributor, Alanna Mitchell, to investigate." At the link right-click "Download" and select "Save Link As" from the pop-up menu.

It was his move to Vienna that allowed him to flourish, with the support at first of aristocratic patrons, when that city was the hub of European music. He is credited with developing the symphony further than any who preceded him, with elevating instrumental above choral music and with transforming music to the highest form of art.

Behavioral Economics 60 mins - "Michael Lewis is one of the most successful non-fiction authors alive. He has been acclaimed as a genius by Malcolm Gladwell and as the best current writer in America by Tom Wolfe. In a series of titles that have sold 9 million copies worldwide, he has lifted the lid on the biggest stories of our times, enthralling readers with his knack for humanising complex subjects and giving them the page-turning urgency of the best thrillers. Liar's Poker is the cult classic that defined Wall Street during the 1980s; Moneyball was made into a film with Brad Pitt; Boomerang was a breakneck tour of Europe's post-crunch economy; and The Big Short was made into a major Oscar-winning film starring Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling and Steve Carell. In November 2017 Lewis came to the Intelligence Squared stage, where he was joined by Stephanie Flanders, former economics editor at the BBC. Discussing the themes of his latest book, The Undoing Project: A Friendship that Changed the World, they explored the extraordinary story of the relationship between Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky – a collaboration which created the field of behavioural economics. This is the theory which shows that human beings are not the rational creatures we imagined ourselves to be, and has revolutionised everything from big data to medicine, from how we are governed to how we spend, from high finance to football. It won Kahneman the Nobel Prize in economics in 2002 – the first time the award had gone to a psychologist."

 Belief Blindness 43 mins - "When was the last time you changed your mind? Are you sure? In this episode we explore new research that suggests for the majority of the mind change we experience, after we update our priors, we delete what we used to believe and then simply forget that we ever thought otherwise. In the show, psychologists Michael Wolfe and Todd Williams, take us though their new research which suggests that because brains so value consistency, and are so determined to avoid the threat of decoherence, we hide the evidence of our belief change. That way, the story we tell ourselves about who we are can remain more or less heroic, with a stable, steadfast protagonist whose convictions rarely waver -- or, at least, they don't waver as much as those of shifty, flip-flopping politicians. This can lead to a skewed perception of the world, one that leads to the assumption that mind change is rare and difficult-to-come-by. And that can lead to our avoiding information that might expand our understanding of the world, because we assume it will have no impact. The truth, say Wolfe and Williams, is that mind change is so prevalent and constant, that the more you expose yourself to counterevidence, the more your worldview will erode, replaced by a better, more accurate one -- it's just that you probably won't realize it until you look back at old posts on social media and cringe.

Psychologists call this the backfire effect, and this episode is the first of three shows exploring this well-documented and much-studied psychological phenomenon, one that you've likely encountered quite a bit lately.

A professor at Stanford University, John has authored close to 1,000 academic papers and served on the editorial boards of 30 of the world's top journals. He is best known for seriously challenging the status quo. His trailblazing 2005 paper 'Why Most Published Research Findings Are False' has been viewed over 2.5 million times and is the most cited article in the history of PLoS Medicine. In it, he argues that most medical research is biased, overblown or simply wrong. Here, he talks to Ray about the far-reaching implications of these findings for people both inside and outside the world of health. While most closely associated with exploring cutting-edge conundrums across science, genomics and even economics, John is also something of a humanist. He'd be right at home with the philosophers of ancient Greece, seeking as he does to find answers to the big questions of the day in science and medicine, as well as in nature and narratives. A voracious reader himself, John has a lifelong love of 'swimming in books' and has penned seven literary works of his own in Greek – two of which have been nominated for prestigious literary prizes. And fittingly, he finds inspiration for his myriad of multi-disciplinary pursuits on Antipaxi, one of Greece's most beautiful and secluded islands. He shares some of his distinctive logic, reason - and even a little of his poetry - on this very special episode of The Recommended Dose, produced by Cochrane Australia and co-published with the BMJ."

But many groups say these numbers are misleading, and a more important takeaway is the rising use of bikes in urban areas, with cities like New York and Washington, D.C. putting millions into bike infrastructure projects. But all parties agree: there is much to be done to safely incorporate cyclists onto our roadways, from adding bike lanes with physical protective barriers to stricter enforcement of traffic laws across the board. We take a look at sharing the road with bikes." [5 guests] At the link you can listen, but not download: however, a copy is included in the blog archive.

While it's unlikely this work will transform Houston into a Southwestern Amsterdam anytime soon, the lessons from the work of Payne and his colleagues may well inspire similar bicycle revolutions in other cities."

 Bicycling Trends 53 mins - "Getting out of a car and onto a bike is one of the best things you can do for the climate and your personal health. Bike lanes are growing in American cities from New York City to Houston, the country's oil and gasoline capital. Cycling is also a way for people to raise awareness and money for their climate work. Still, many potential cyclists are worried about their personal safety while biking—and about breathing bus exhaust. What are cities doing to take cycling to the next level? Is bike sharing really displacing taxi rides? How is pedal power helping the broader climate movement?

 Bidding Process 7 mins - "Recently a listener emailed me with a question that I thought would be good to answer on the podcast. It has to do with the bidding process.Getting bids is the process of getting cost proposals from subcontractors. To get an accurate bid, at a minimum, we need to give each subcontractor a set of house plans and specifications. The specifications describe the specific materials needed for the job and the methods for construction. We'll talk in more detail about the bid process next week in a mini-lesson. But right now, let me read you the question that I got, then I'll give you my answer. I've enjoyed listening to your podcast as we are in the pre-construction phase of planning to build our own home. However, in the past couple of weeks, our subcontractor bids have been coming in and we are starting to get concerned. I sent MULTIPLE bid requests to subcontractors for each trade, and even though all of them haven't come in, we are trending well above what it would cost to go through a builder. What am I doing wrong? Do general contractors have some underground network of cheap laborers that I'm missing out on because I'm not a GC? Any advice would be helpful!"

Industry analyst Doug Laney has defined infonomics as the study of the production and consumption of information. In this view, information is accounted for and managed as a business asset. As publishers remake themselves into information providers for the Digital Age, they should abandon the notion of content as their product, says Grace Hong, Vice President of Strategic Markets & Development and General Manager of Learning Solutions for Wolters Kluwer's Tax & Accounting division. Instead of content in the traditional sense, she explains, publishers must move to the marketplace that Big Data has opened up. "When it comes to big data – and especially when we think about organizations like traditional publishing organizations – data in and of itself is not valuable. It's really about the insights and the problems that you're able to solve," Hong tells CCC's Chris Kenneally." At the link right-click "Download" and select "Save Link As" from the pop-up menu.

 Bike Sharing 6 mins - "President Donald Trump has been trying to unravel a lot of President Barack Obama's legacy. That now includes dismantling a small part of Washington, DC's growing bike-sharing program. A bicycle dock was placed inside the White House grounds in 2010, but the Trump administration had it removed last week. In Seattle, they're trying out something completely new for American cities: dockless bike sharing. You rent a bike by the half-hour, and when you're done, you get off and lock it wherever your ride ends. It might be a new concept for Americans, but the idea isn't all that innovative — it's huge in China. Seattle recently had a bike-sharing program called Pronto, but it didn't work so well — it lasted 2 1/2 years before it went under in March. Seattle's hills and rain didn't help, but Tom Fucoloro, the founder of Seattle Bike Blog, said the real culprit was the system...The bike-sharing program was also controversial because the city bailed out a failing nonprofit enterprise. This time, Seattle is trying bike sharing with no taxpayer money and no docks — the stations where you find and return a bike. The new dockless system got off to a hot start — more than 15,000 rides in the first week, immediately eclipsing the old system's best week ever....Two Bay Area startups — Spin and LimeBike — have each sprinkled 500 bright green and orange bikes throughout Seattle's downtown sidewalks. It's quickly getting competitive. The Chinese company, Ofo, which bills itself as the world's largest stationless bike-sharing company, also just received a Seattle city permit to add 1,000 yellow bikes into the mix...."

More than 1,700 species of animals and plants are listed by the Australian Government as being at risk of extinction. Nearly 1 in 4 of our mammal species and around 1 in 7 of our bird species are listed as threatened. 2013 saw the loss of a penguin, a cuttlefish and a garfish. And these are just the large species which are easy to see. What's happening to smaller species? This rapid rate of extinction is a response to a world changing fast. As the human population increases, at 200,000 people per day, or 73 million people per year, there is increasing pressure on ecosystems as we replace natural vegetation with agriculture, and pump pollution into the water and atmosphere. Rather than acknowledge the damage and change, most governments seek to increase activities which are causing the damage.

Biological Diversity \- "Stewart Brand and Paul Saffo will discuss the Pace Layers framework for how a healthy society functions, which Stewart introduced in his book The Clock of Long Now (01999). More than fifteen years after its debut, this concept continues to be influential and inspiring. From January 02015. The Pace Layers idea is illustrated by a simple diagram showing six layers which function simultaneously at different speeds within society. They range from Nature (the slowest) to Fashion (the fastest, shown at the top). As the layers progress, Stewart proposed, their differing speeds help make a society more adaptable. Cultures can be robust and healthy precisely because these layers come into conflict. Each level should be allowed to operate at its own pace, safely sustained by the slower levels below and kept invigorated by livelier levels above. Though originally conceived as a tool for thinking about society, Pace Layers has had broad influence as experts in other disciplines have applied its framework to their areas including consulting and systems thinking. Jeff Veen of True Ventures (formerly Adobe, Adaptive Path, and Wired) recently said that Pace Layers provides a vocabulary to think about the stacked layers of contemporary design. Phil Libin, CEO of Evernote, has called the Pace Layers chapter in The Clock of the Long Now "the most profound thing I've ever read." Today in a networked world where everything seems to be about speed, awareness of the slower layers and perspective on how all layers interact can give insight into what the future may hold."

Host: Julie Wolf- Julie's biggest takeaways: Thought exercises and scenarios work well for people to understand how technology, communications, human behaviors can affect the spread of infectious disease. Many after-action reports after major biosecurity breaches, such as the Dugway contamination event, where inactivated Bacillus anthracis was accidentally shipped without being inactivated. These involve reports on what went wrong, who made mistakes, and how to prevent repeats of these errors going forward. International groups such as the Global Health Security Alliance work with governments and institutions around the world to run dialogs and talk about biosecurity issues, safety issues, pathogen management issues. Comparing notes across countries helps to harmonize policies and find gaps that need addressing. Bringing scientists into the policy-making meetings is the best way to write regulations in a way to protect the public, the scientists, and the research itself. Crafting good recommendations for governance prevents writing regulations that can be hard to remove."

We use so many biomarkers that we don't even recognize what they are. The natriuretic peptides have become the most popular of the biomarkers -- either brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) or NT-proBNP [N-terminal fragment BNP]. The values of these differ; BNP usually runs in lower numbers and NT-proBNP in higher numbers, and we have some sense of cut-off values. These biomarkers differ with age, renal function, sex, and obesity. These things must be taken into consideration."

Bionic Bodies 27 mins - "The field of bionics has transformed medicine for centuries, as far back as the ancient Egyptians who created bespoke toes from wood and leather. During the 20th Century mechanical and electronic advances made heart pacemakers and more sophisticated prosthetic limbs possible. Now, researchers are creating bionic eyes to help blind people see again. Neurosurgeon Jeffrey Rosenfeld, director of the Monash Institute of Medical Engineering in Australia, hopes to implant tiny "ceramic micro-electrode tiles" into the brain's visual cortex of blind volunteers this year – bypassing the normal visual pathway. A digital camera mounted on a pair of glasses captures images which are then processed in a device about the size of a mobile phone. The resulting image is then transferred wirelessly to the tiles in the brain – the more tiles, the more detailed the image. Such techniques designed to help people with disabilities could also be adopted by others wanting to enhance their own senses or performance. Anders Sandberg, senior researcher at the Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University, ponders over the ethics of bionics.

Ideas about migration developed in C19th when, in Germany, a stork was noticed with an African spear in its neck, indicating where it had been over the winter and how far it had flown. Today there are many ideas about how birds use their senses of sight and smell, and magnetic fields, to find their way, and about why and how birds choose their destinations and many questions.

Over the past few months we have worked together to determine the best path forward for Crypto Gulch from a service and pricing structure. While I have no official ownership position in Crypto Gulch Ben has been very open to my advice on some tweaks and I feel together we have set things up in a very good way. Ben is also very tied into cryptocurrency and let me know about a lot of really interesting things going on in the space during this interview. This includes some thoughts on Dubai's new currency EM Cash and a potential new Russian coin called the cryptoruble. We also discuss another pending Bitcoin fork, wallets, exchanges and more. I am pretty sure this interview will be very informative on cryptocurrency in general and will also give those interested a better understanding of Crypto Gulch at the same time."

 Bitcoins&utm_content=FeedBurner+user+view) 29 mins - "If you've heard about Bitcoin on the evening news or seen a headline about it, you might have been left with the impression that it's some sort of online scam or the next Dutch tulip bubble. But Bitcoin and other cryptographic currencies are very real. Our guest this week on Sea Change Radio is Jem Bendell, a professor of sustainability leadership at the University of Cumbria, the world's first public university to accept Bitcoin for tuition payments. He explains how Bitcoin works and why he thinks it might help us move beyond the inadequacies and inequities of central bank-controlled currencies toward a sharing economy. Bitcoin has its critics to be sure, but, as New Yorker columnist James Surowiecki has so aptly put it, "the value of currency is, ultimately, what someone will give you for it..."

He's been the beloved director of the Schomburg for the past five years and has done much to expand the reach and the influence of the Harlem institution that devotes itself to researching and disseminating the history of African-Americans. But Muhammad is also a scholar and he is now eager to evaluate everything he has gleaned about the contemporary concerns of black America from a new vantage point. He's on his way to join Harvard University's faculty as a professor of history, race and public policy at the Kennedy School of Government. This young historian is uniquely well suited to ponder the contradictions of the past, the present and the future. Muhammad grew up on Chicago's Southside, he's the great grandson of Elijah Muhammad, who led the Nation of Islam for decades and he's the son of a Pulitzer Prize winning photojournalist and an educator. I first interviewed Muhammad in 2012 about the founding paradox of our country, that our constitution promised "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" despite the entrenched institution of slavery. In June, in front of a live audience at the Schomburg, Khalil Gibran Muhammad and I picked up where we left off, discussing how critical it is to know the past in order to challenge our turbulent times, and reshape our future."

 Black Americans 95 mins - "Today, African-Americans wield influence in every domain, from politics and business to academia and the arts. At the same time, black people are incarcerated at six times the rate of whites, and possess 13 times less wealth. Many schools and neighborhoods are more segregated than they were in 1965, and police killings of black citizens in places like Baltimore and Baton Rouge recur with tragic frequency — provoking radically different responses within black and white communities. And with the election of Donald Trump, the nation stands more tense and divided on racial lines that it has been in a generation. How did we end up here, when half a century ago racial equality seemed imminent — even inevitable? " **Black America Since MLK: And Still I Rise** " is a two-part, four-hour PBS special that looks at the last five decades of African-American history since the major civil rights victories. Join us as executive producer, presenter and writer Henry Louis Gates, Jr. explores the tremendous gains and persistent challenges of these years, drawing on eyewitness accounts, scholarly analysis and rare archival footage. The series, premiering over two nights on Tuesday, November 15 and 22, paints a complex and comprehensive portrait of black America since 1965, while raising urgent questions about the future of the African-American community — and our nation as a whole. On Monday, November 21 Brookings welcomed Henry Louis Gates, Jr. to present select clips from his new series, and award-winning journalist Charlayne Hunter-Gault led a panel of experts to discuss how much of the promise of the civil rights movement has been realized and what obstacles still stand in the way."

Yet the criminal justice system is staffed by thousands of black police officers, judges, corrections officers and prosecutors. Forman examines the tragic roots of the war on crime, showing how tougher laws and harsher responses were proposed by the nation's first black mayors, police chiefs and city council members. When poverty, crime, drug addiction and violence were on the rise, their stringent law-and-order tactics were seen as necessary to protect and heal these communities.

 Black Holes Collide 22 mins - "On Sept. 14, 2015, at almost the exact same time that a pair of sprawling gravitational-wave detectors heard the last gasp of a collision between two black holes, another, more perplexing observation took place. Over 500 kilometers above the surface of the Earth, the orbiting Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope logged a passing burst of gamma rays, a high-energy form of light. The signal was so slight that the NASA scientists who run the satellite didn't notice it at first. "[The gravitational-wave detector] LIGO saw a bright event, clear in their data, and we found a little blip in our data that's really only credible because it happened so close in time to the gravitational wave," said Valerie Connaughton, a member of the Fermi team. A satellite spotted a burst of light just as gravitational waves rolled in from the collision of two black holes. Was the flash a cosmic coincidence, or do astrophysicists need to rethink what black holes can do?" At the link right-click "Download" and select "Save Link As" from the pop-up menu.

He discusses the search for mini black holes, noting that so far "no-one has found any, which is a pity because if they had, I would have got a Nobel Prize." And he advances a theory that information may remain stored within black holes in a scrambled form. The programmes are recorded in front of an audience of Radio 4 listeners and some of the country's leading scientists at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in London.

 Black Lives Matter 25 mins - "I'm holding in my hand what has been called "one of the most daring books of the 21st century," a "book for the ages," "bracing," "unrelenting." The title is _Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul_ , and it breathes with prophetic fire. Its power comes because the author does not begin with "pristine principles or with assumptions about our inherent goodness." Rather, its view of democracy, as he writes, "emerges out of an unflinching encounter with lynching trees, prison cells, foreclosed homes, young men and women gunned down by police and places where 'hope, unborn, had died.'" _Democracy in Black_ is rich in history and bold in opinion, and inconvenient truths leap from every page. For example, and I'm quoting the book again, "black people must lose their blackness if America is to be transformed. But of course, white people get to stay white." The book opens in Ferguson, Missouri, with the author talking to three, dynamic young black women, newly born to activism, and it closes in the intimacy of the reader's heart, where each of us wrestles with the question of whether we can indeed change the habits of racism and create together a new politics based on a revolution in values. The author is Eddie Glaude Jr. Glaude was raised in the Deep South, in Moss Point, Mississippi, and still remembers the Ku Klux Klan burning a cross at the fairground. He's now a professor of religion and African-American studies at Princeton University, where he also chairs the Center for African-American Studies.

Nelson is the Emmy nominated, Peabody Award, and MacArthur Foundation Award winning director of a body of work that includes films on Emmett Till, Marcus Garvey and the Freedom Riders. When Nelson and his production team started working on the project 7 years their goal was to create a film that told the complete history of the Black Panther movement because it was a story that "people really didn't know". They felt that the ideas represented by the Black Panthers were relevant but they could not have foreseen the development of the Black Lives Matter movement and the ongoing protests over police violence. "Little did we know that it would be as relevant as it is, at this historical moment that we find ourselves in now", says Nelson. Using the voices of former Black Panther members and police, music and archival footage the documentary weaves together a story of a group that was, in many ways, a logical follow up to the non-violent civil rights protests of the 1960's. "There would have been no Black Panthers without the traditional civil rights movement of Martin Luther King," says Nelson. The documentary focuses on events that took place nearly 50 years ago, but Nelson says that the same issues of inequality that the Black Panthers organized to confront still exist today.

 Black Panthers 28 mins - "The exodus of approximately six million black people from the American South between 1915 and 1970 had a significant role in setting the stage of the civil rights movement of the early 1960s. Many of the children of those who left the south participated in desegregation efforts which included the Freedom Rides and lunch counter sit-ins. The Civil Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965 which attempted to resolve employment discrimination and define voting rights, only changed the law. Many young blacks however did not see changes in their everyday life. The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense was born out of this disillusionment. Although infiltrated and feared by the F.B.I., the Black Panther Party pioneered social and community programs, including free medical clinics, free meals, and educational programs.

It happened in the small city of Mardan, set on a fertile plain below mountains that form part of the border with Afghanistan.

"If you have to kill someone as a punishment, do it in such a way that all connections to his brain are disconnected and there is no pain," one local politician explained. "Just bury him afterwards." Mashal Khan was not so lucky. His slow, painful death and subsequent mutilation was captured on mobile phones. The shocking footage spread quickly and reignited the controversy over Pakistan's strict blasphemy laws. There have been rallies in support of the victim's family. His grave is blanketed in tinsel and flowers from sympathisers. But there've been rallies for the alleged killers as well.

Blind Scientist 12 mins - "...He's one of about 140,000 blind and visually impaired people in the Bay Area. Less than three quarters of those people are employed, and only a few work in tech, like Dr. Miele. His office in Pacific Heights is full of tactile art, project binders, awards, and audio equipment. On a round meeting table, magnetic building toys sit in a cluster—just something to fiddle with on long calls. This is where Miele does the work he's uniquely suited to do, designing accessible technologies for the blind. ..."I want to build cool stuff for blind people that gives them the ability to do the things that they want to do, and I feel incredibly lucky that I'm given that privilege and opportunity." He can pretty much choose his projects, too, because Dr. Miele directs his own innovation lab here at Smith-Kettlewell. ..."I grew up in New York. I was a sighted kid until I was almost five, and then I was burned in a very violent act where somebody threw sulfuric acid over my head." ... Coming to study physics at UC Berkeley at age 18 changed his entire outlook. "I met a whole community of cool blind people who I respected and liked and who were creative and smart and funny," he says. "I realized that I did want to be a blind person. I could be proud of being a blind person." ...He explains that having to do that much extra preparation for almost everything you take on, gets you thinking. "I started learning more about what types of technologies were available for blind people and realizing that there wasn't enough cool stuff. I realized that I wanted to be the one making those decisions about what access of the future would look like."... At the end of his day, Miele grabs his iPhone and his white cane and heads downstairs to walk the least hilly route to the downtown BART station. Rush hour is only beginning, and the platform is packed. Miele stops at the edge of the crowd. ..."If you can see you'll just wait until there's an opportunity and then slide through the gaps," he says. "But when you can't see those opportunities, you have to create your own. The only way to do it in any kind of effective way is to either stand around and feel helpless, or to just say excuse me, pardon me, coming through," It's a philosophy that Dr Miele uses to navigate his entire life. And by finding these new ways to create opportunities for himself, he's also clearing a path to success for other blind people."

Laura Fogg is this woman, the author of "Traveling Blind: Life Lessons from Unlikely Teachers," and our guest in this archive edition of Radio Curious. Laura Fogg worked as a Mobility and Orientation Instructor for the Blind in Mendocino County for over 35 years beginning 1971.

Blind Woodworker 12 mins \- "Wood Working is something that people have low expectations for the blind and probably think that it is too dangerous for their son/daughter or any person with limited or no vision to get involved with as a hobby or profession.

Students may not go out and buy a table saw yet they will surely investigate a loose table leg or door handle because they will have the confidence and skills to believe that they can fix the problem. LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired has WoodWorking Classes several times a year so be sure to check their web site for the next opportunity. And if you happen to attend a Blindness Training Center and Wood Working is a class that is being offered, be sure to challenge yourself.

Vasopressor, on the other hand, is a term for a drug that makes your blood pressure goes up by the process of vasoconstriction (squeeze). A positive inotrope is different from a vasopressor in that an inotrope affects cardiac contractility in a positive way- e.g. it makes your heart pump stronger. So a positive inotrope increases the strength of the muscular contraction and a negative inotrope weakens the strength of the muscular contraction. Some drugs act as both a vasopressor and an inotrope. Drugs can also affect chronotropy which simply means a change in heart rate. Positive chronotropy means an increase in heart rate and negative chronotropy means a decrease in heart rate..."

Blood Quantum Limits 44 mins - "Native Americans in America are governed by each their own duly elected Tribal Council, whose job it is to look out for the best interests of their tribes membership. As all offical tribes are sovereign, they have final say over the basic requirements necessary to become an enrolled member. One of the key thresholds tribes impose, is that of a blood quantum limit. After all, once a membership has become diluted to a certain point members have such a small amount of Native blood they are considered my many to no longer be native - what listener JT describes as being a "one drop". Other tribes require only a provable lineage. If a tribe imposes a blood quantum limit they did not have before, what to do with members who no longer meet the threshold? Should they be disenrolled? Or should there be a 'grandfather' clause and the change only be made moving forward? This is a tough debate, but we do our best discussing a complicated issue. ...In a related topic, we discuss the minimum viable population to ensure healthy genetic diversity, a major issue for tribes wishing to consider the idea of a blood quantum limit. There is a fine line between encouaging folks to marry other Natives, and risking unhealthy genetics within communities too small to handle it. And in Iceland there is an Android app which allows you to "Bump phones before you bump in bed". With a population of only 320,000 Iclanders face the very real risk of ending up in bed with a close relative. Like all small communities (Natives included) geneology is carefully documented.

No one knows, in part because there isn't a good in vitro system to study cat epithelial cell interactions with T. gondii. Most warm-blooded animals, including birds, can be infected with Toxoplasma. Intermediate hosts can pass Toxoplasma from one to another if one eat these tissue cysts, explaining why Toxoplasma can be a foodborne pathogen. In healthy individuals, the immune response clears most fast-growing cells (tachyzoites) but some protozoans convert to a slow-growing cell form (bradyzoites). In people, these bradyzoites form cysts predominantly in the brain, the heart and the skeletal muscle. Some serological studies suggest a tie between Toxoplasma infection and brain disorders, but these are less definitive than causative studies in mice...."

Susan and Harley bought the oldest blueberry farm in Skagit County in 2011, transitioned the farm to organic, and launched a new line of value-added products along with their fresh and frozen berries. Harley shares the details of organic blueberry production, from weed control and management of mummy berry and spotted wing drosophila through the GAP-certified harvest that provides access to institutional markets. Bow Hill's blueberry bushes were mostly planted in the 1940s, which provides a great marketing opportunity – heirlooms! – but also presents challenges when it comes to keeping the harvest crew happy, and Harley and Susan dig deep into how they work with their labor crew to maximize the harvest and keep worker satisfaction high. Susan walks us through how they market their fresh and frozen berries to institutions including Microsoft's food service and the Seattle Seahawks, as well how they created their unique line of value-added products, and how they have established a differentiated presence in the marketplace, even though Washington State is the United States' largest producer of organic blueberries.

The Benefits of Blueberries - There's been plenty of talk in the media about how blueberries are the new superfood. We're always hesitant to buy into this kind of hype (remember how margarine used to be "healthy" and eggs were horrible for you?). But in the case of blueberries, the science backs up the hype. Blueberries improve long-term memory (retention of information over time), access to words and concepts (crucial for dementia or Alzheimer's sufferers), and short-term memory (aka working memory). They reverse loss of balance and coordination in older rats. The benefits aren't confined to older people, though. One study found that blueberry juice improved memory and concentration in children. And if you're worried about consuming too much sugar from fruit, blueberries even lower blood glucose levels. For more, check out Dr. Krikorian's latest research on blueberries."

They have an opportunity to become larger producer, and currently are importing corn and other GE crops from Argentina and other South American countries. Activists offer fear of harming land races to stop adoption of the technology. Because of their inability to deregulate GE varieties Bolivia unfortunately cannot compete with other countries, and their farmers suffer the consequences.

Many leading men are Muslims - a fact that has been no apparent impediment to their success.

The Khans have quite literally taken over Bollywood. Aamir, Salman, Shah Rukh, Aamer, Saif Ali and Irfan - to name but a few - currently dominate the industry. Almost all are Muslim or of Muslim descent, hugely successful and able to navigate two of the most powerful forces working against them - the puritanism of Islam and the ever-increasing grip of Hindu fundamentalism in India. They are some of the nation's best-loved and most successful actors, brand ambassadors of the official "Incredible India" tourism campaign - and Muslims in a majority-Hindu nation. And many of them are married to Hindus. Prominent actors, writers, directors, producers, composers, film historians, politicians and critics explain how the Khans have managed to successfully carve out their careers as Muslims in a Hindu world, about how they see the future unfolding under the growing Hindu fundamentalist culture of India, as well as against the national and international backdrop of Islamic fundamentalism."

Bombing Civilian Targets 58 mins - "No one doubts the bravery of the thousands of men who flew and died in Bomber Command. The death rate was an appalling 44%. And yet until the opening of a monument in Green Park in 2012 they had received no official recognition, with many historians claiming that the offensive was immoral and unjustified. How can it be right, they argue, for the Allies to have deliberately targeted German cities causing the death of hundreds of thousands of civilians? Even on a strategic level the offensive failed to bring about the collapse of civilian morale that was its intention. Others, however, maintain that the attacks made a decisive contribution to the Allied victory. Vast numbers of German soldiers and planes were diverted from the eastern and western fronts, while Allied bombing attacks virtually destroyed the German air force, clearing the way for the invasion of the continent. Arguing for the motion were AC Grayling, philosopher and author of 'Among the Dead Cities: Is the Targeting of Civilians in War Ever Justified?'; and Richard Overy, Professor of history at Exeter University who has published extensively on World War II and air power in the 20th century.

 Bone Health 58 mins - "Osteoporosis, weakened bones, affects about 10 million Americans. But low bone density is even more common. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, about half of adults over 50 are at risk for a fracture. ...Some of the factors that lead to osteoporosis can't be avoided. Genetics is chief among these. If your grandparents and parents suffered from weak bones and fractures, your chances of osteoporosis are higher than average....That doesn't mean there is nothing you can do, however. It just may mean you'll have to try harder to keep your bones strong. Getting adequate amounts of vitamin D and calcium is important. Not smoking-or quitting if you do smoke-is just as critical. Exercise throughout our lives sends crucial signals to our bones that we need them and helps keep them strong. To get the best benefit from exercise, it should be something in which the foot hits the ground: walking, skipping, jumping, dancing, tennis, etc. Other forms of exercise such as swimming or biking are also good for your health, but they do less to keep your bones strong. Learn how doctors detect osteoporosis with DXA technology, and how they treat it if they discover you have it. You'll also find out why men too need to be concerned about bone health. This Week's Guest: Abby G. Abelson, MD, FACR, is Chair of the Department of Rheumatic and Immunologic Diseases of the Orthopaedic and Rheumatology Institute and Education Program Director in the Department of Rheumatologic and Immunologic Diseases at Cleveland Clinic.

 Bone Health 58 mins -"Don't count on vitamin D and calcium pills to keep your bones strong. Make sure you get plenty of green veggies in your diet and spend some time in the sun.For years, people were urged to take calcium supplements to avoid losing bone density. This advice was aimed particularly at menopausal and postmenopausal women because they are especially susceptible to bone fragility and fractures. All the same, calcium supplements were often recommended to all older adults. Will taking calcium pills really keep your bones strong? Seniors were also supposed to take vitamin D pills so that they could avoid going out in the sun. Sun exposure is a double-edged sword, after all: it can lead to vitamin D production, which may help keep your bones strong. On the other hand, it also increases your chance of developing skin cancer. Weighing pros and cons is difficult, so many experts prefer to sidestep the question and recommend pills instead...."

The key to quorum sensing is a molecular signal released by the bacteria that is monitored by receptors, which in turn modulate gene expression. Bioluminescence genes are only turned on when the population density--and therefore the signal concentration--is high."

Educator and editor **Michael Greer** , a frequent guest on Beyond the Book, says if we are ever going to make learning mobile, we must first rethink learning. Greer teaches online courses in editing and publishing at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and is editor for the journal Research in Online Literacy Education. In a blog post for the Textbook & Academic Authors Association, he argued that "technology should serve learning, not drive it." In journalism, digital technology, with its capacity for two-way interaction, is also driving a transformation in the relationship between readers and reporters. Communities and conversations form naturally around digital journalism. Mostly, though, they are confined to comment sections on news sites.

 Book Trends 12 mins "...This week, the book world began poring over the findings, covering everything from shares of print and digital sales, to preferences for digital platforms. The two most intriguing findings confirm suspicions that the drive to digital is slowing. "First, the e-books share of new book sales increased only slightly in 2014 over 2013" reports Andrew Albanese, Publishers Weekly senior writer. "And the share of sales through online retailers and bookstore chains actually dipped." Recently, publishing pundits have trumpeted that the death of print is greatly exaggerated. Perhaps so, says Albanese, but the prognosis is mixed. "Print accounted for 70% of new book spending in 2014, and that is in fact a drop of seven percentage points from 2013. Reports that print sales are in fact on the rise are generally due only to authors named John Green, or Veronica Roth.

 Boomer Retirements&utm_content=FeedBurner) 64mins - "...This episode focuses on dealing with the loss of crucial information as seasoned engineers retire. Many baby boomers have not saved enough for retirement, and so are deciding to work longer. Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce published a 2011 study on STEM careers, noting that 10 years after graduation, 46 percent of STEM graduates have left the field. While the clamor for more engineering graduates continues, a number of authorities claim there is no engineering labor shortage. A 2013 article from National Defense Magazine explained that the "engineering shortage" is not a myth, although the engineers who commented on the article seemed to feel otherwise. The concern over retiring baby boomers dates back a while, with a July 2000 article (pdf) from Monthly Labor Review discussing the substantial effects to be felt by U.S. employers. Jeff references a white paper (pdf) from The Integrity Group that discusses the effect of Baby Boomer retirement on the energy industry. Harvard Business Review published a 2014 article examining the costs associated with retiring experts. A Bloomberg article from earlier this year discussed steps taken by defense and aerospace company BAE to prepare for upcoming retirements within their engineering ranks. Paying workers more money can overcome their reluctance to assume jobs they would not otherwise consider, suggests a Twin Cities Pioneer Press article. Jeff notes that many Baby Boomers are in no hurry to leave the job market. Many companies cope with the loss of retiring engineers by hiring them back on a part-time or flex-time basis. An infographic (pdf) from Kelly Services forecasts engineering job growth through 2023.

MPI speakers, along with former U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske and former Mexican Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan discuss the contemporary border enforcement picture and progress in achieving "operational control" of the Southwest border; the next steps for the U.S.-Mexico border management relationship that has been built over the past two decades; and what policy responses by the United States, Mexico, and Northern Triangle would be most responsive to the changing nature of migrant flows in the region. As the Trump administration and Congress consider the future of border policy and funding proposals for a border wall, this discussion evaluates the state of the border, the effectiveness of various enforcement strategies, current trends in apprehensions and the flows of migrants, and what the changing realities mean for the migration policies and agendas of the United States, Mexico, and the region."

The vegetable oil those palms produce is used in a huge variety of products sold in the US, from ice cream to lipstick.... "Communities that live near forests depend on these forests for a number of natural resources that they use every day," Chatellier says. When conservation groups move in to claim a piece of land to preserve it, "that can create conflict," Chatellier says. As billions of dollars are poised to flow from developed to developing countries to protect their forests, countries like Indonesia are scrambling to figure out how to resolve that kind of conflict: how to balance the lives and livelihoods of local people with the need to protect the global climate and fragile species, like Borneo's endangered orangutans. Note: This is the first story in a series on PRI.org and The World examining social entrepreneurs using innovative methods to protect Indonesian forests."

 Borneo Deforestation Control 6 mins - "The sun is just starting to dip toward the horizon in Indonesian Borneo, and Dharsono Hartono is standing on a fire tower, looking out over a peat forest falling into shadow. ..."Unlike the typical mineral soil," Hartono says, "peat soil is actually dead wood, leaves and logs that become part of the soil." The layers of wood and decomposing leaves create a forest floor so thick it bounces when Hartono steps on it. All those decomposing plants contain lots of carbon, which means peat forests store more greenhouse gases than a regular tropical rainforest. If the forest in front of Hartono were converted to plantations like much of Borneo already has been, tons of carbon would be freed from the soil and released into the atmosphere, where it would contribute to global warming. "It would emit about 6 million tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent," Hartono says. "Which is in this case close to about 5 million cars a year." Hartono's job is to prevent that from happening. And to make sure his company turns a profit along the way. ...Getting the right government permits has been a bureaucratic nightmare. Then there's the science: Measuring the carbon stored in the company's 600 square miles of peat forest took two years, and then the methodology had to be verified by an independent carbon credit certification body called the VCS. ... I'm still very optimistic that we will make it." Hartono hopes to finally start selling carbon credits next year...."

 Borneo Deforestation Medicine 3 mins - " In a village on the western edge of Borneo, there's a small hospital where people come from miles around to get treatment for everything from a broken arm to a heart attack. Good health care in a remote town like Sukadana, in the Indonesian province of West Kalimantan, is hard to come by. But there's another thing that sets this one-story, metal-roofed clinic apart: how patients pay for their health care. "You can pay with non-cash means," says Dr. Kinari Webb, founder of the ASRI clinic, known by the acronym for its Indonesian name, Alam Sehat Lestari. "So that people don't have to log in order to pay for health care." Patients can pay with manure, seedlings, handicrafts including hand-woven baskets, or their labor. In ASRI's courtyard, seedlings that patients have used to pay for healthcare are a sign of what's different about this clinic. And no matter the currency they use, patients get a 70 percent discount if they live in an area where illegal logging activity has stopped. ...According to ASRI data, when the clinic opened, there were an estimated 1,350 logging households around the national park. That dropped to 450 after the clinic had been in operation for five years, and today, Webb says fewer than 200 people (that's individuals, not households) in villages bordering the national park are loggers.

Claudia Hammond has spent the last two years working as part of Hubbub – a group including poets, historians and neuroscientists examining the topic of Rest at the Wellcome Collection. So is the brain ever truly at rest? We all experience the world in different ways. By keeping a daydream diary Claudia discovers that she tends to mind-wander visually – often without words. She also visits the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig where her brain is scanned by scientists who want to understand more about the surprisingly busy "resting" brain, seemingly on standby for whatever the day throws at us. Brain scanners cannot yet detect what we are thinking. But monitoring the brains of trained meditators, one researcher claims to have pinpointed the part of the brain where mind-wandering starts – a region associated with memory. Activity then moves onto problem-solving regions – perhaps planning for the future by reflecting on the past." At the link find the title,"What's the Mind Doing When it is Daydreaming?

Brain and Language 52 mins \- "Angela Friederici's new book _Language in Our Brain: The Origins of a Uniquely Human Capacity_ captures decades of research. Although the book is quite technical, our recent conversation (BS 144) provides an excellent overview to listeners of all backgrounds. Our earliest knowledge was acquired from patients with brain lesions, but newer tools allow researchers to correlate concepts from Linguistics, such as phonology, syntax and semantics, with the neuroscientific tools such as EEG and imaging. EEG evidence shows that phonology (sound) and syntax (grammar) are processed very quickly (by ~150ms) and automatically, while semantics (meaning) is processed a little later. The question of where each of this processes happens is challenging to answer because current imaging methods like fMRI provide excellent spatial resolution, but are much too slow to separate out these components. In her interview Dr. Friederici explains how experiments are designed to overcome this limitation. There is also an increasing interest in the connections between the various brain areas that are involved in language. It appears that similiar areas (frontal and temporal) are used across languages but there a marked differences in the connecting pathways that reflect both what language a person speaks, but also other factors. For example, sign language is processed in the same areas as spoken language, but the pathways from the auditory cortex are less developed. We also talk briefly about the developmental aspects of language and _Language in Our Brain: The Origins of a Uniquely Human Capacity_ provides an extensive introduction to the current literature, including reflections on how the language aspects of the brain evolved."

For nearly 70 years, computer scientists have tried to develop programs that approach the intellect of a human, but to no avail.... How can we build a learning, intelligent machine? Once we have built such an intelligent machine, what will its impact on society be? Why has learning, a prime function of the brain, until now never been part of the Artificial Intelligence process? ...

Dr. Wingeier describes his invention as "like a defibrillator for the brain," with the significant difference that his is a small wafer of platinum resting on the inside of a living human skull. Technically, it's not on the inside of the skull itself, but an artificial trapdoor cut into the skull by surgeons specifically to gain entry for the NeuroPace device. When all goes as planned, the NeuroPace defuses seizures without the patient even knowing anything has happened.

Brain Lymphatic System 27 mins - "The discovery of the brain's "waste disposal" system could transform our understanding of neurological conditions. Until now there was no evidence of the lymphatic system in the human brain – that's the network of vessels which also transports part of the immune system around the body. The American researchers hope that this knowledge may eventually add to our understanding of brain conditions like multiple sclerosis. It's Divali this week – and the Hindu festival is celebrated with prayers, food and fireworks. But in India firecrackers have become so popular that there is a spike in air pollution – serious for anyone with lung problems like asthma. The sale of firecrackers has been banned in Delhi - in the hope of preventing a toxic smog from blanketing the city. But some residents are more concerned with everyday pollution from cars and industry. A drug trial for an eye condition called uveitis has been stopped early because it was working so well. It affects one in six children who have juvenile idiopathic arthritis - where the immune system attacks the lining of the joints.

He is also the director of the Alternatives Brain Institute, where they help clients look at their brain function as well as examine how their mind works, and work with them to build strengths and resources, flexibility, and better performance. Sounds pretty rad. But the kicker is this. Dr. Hill is the lead Neuroscientist for a new startup called truBrain, a company with a mission to help optimize your productivity and efficiency without relying on excess caffeine or prescription medication. They are creating a new type of energy drink! One devoid of the useless sugars, caffeine, and wasted crap and they are replacing it with .... nootropics. Little drink packages that remind me very much of the old school kool-aid packages. And in these packages there is a promise of mental clarity, calm energy, productivity, memory increase, and more! Could it be true? If so, someone needs to alert all of the college kids who are popping way too many adderalls. Well - let's find out! Can these supplements make you amazing, smarter, better, faster? "Nootropics are analogous to vigilance promoting drugs such as Adderall and Ritalin. The difference is nootropics aren't used to remediate a specific problem, they are used to enhance existing cognition." -Dr. Hill Quotes from Andrew Hill: What we learn in this episode: What's the best drug to take if you just want to feel happy all the time?

Unfortunately, because it is so different from traditional physical therapy, it requires special training and it is still not covered by many major insurance companies. The Veteran's Administration recognizes it as the preferred treatment for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) but they currently have no therapists trained in the method. I have a recorded a new interview with Dr. Taub, which I have split into two parts. The rest of the interview will be posted next month.

Claudia Hammond meets the three recipients of the million Euro Lundbeck Foundation Brain Prize for their research on reward. Wolfram Schultz from the University of Cambridge, has spent 30 years studying the brain cells which help to teach us what to pursue and what to avoid to maximise our rewards. University College London's Professor Peter Dayan is fascinated by how we change our minds when rewards aren't immediately apparent. His work shines a light on how our behaviour in the future is affected by whether we got the pleasure we hoped for the previous time.

When Dr. Nick Bomalaski, a Brain Injury Fellow at the University of Washington, heard enough of these one-off incidents, he took it upon himself to conduct a review of the Zolpidem literature on neurological, arousal and motor functions. Ambien is a well-known sleep aid, with over 40 million annual prescriptions in the US alone. It is not, however, a one-trick pony.

 Brain Protein Calendars 54 mins \- "Seth Grant has made a career by combining his skills in molecular biology, medicine and neuroscience. _Brain Science_ listeners may remember him best for his explorations of the evolution of the synapse (BSP 51) and in BSP 101 he told us about how small genetic changes related to synapse proteins can influence learning, but this month he shares a new paper, which describes what he calls the "genetic lifespan calendar." The key idea is that the genes in both the mouse and human brain appear to follow a predictable schedule. Grant's team also found that they could predict the age of a brain by looking at its transcriptome (which mRNA is present). It is important to emphasize that this is a surprising new discovery. If it is replicated by other researchers, it could open up entirely new research approaches. In this month's podcast Dr. Grant explains how the research was conducted and some of its important implications. Dr. Grant has a long time interest in schizophrenia so he is particularly excited about how this research might explain why schizophrenia, which has a larger genetic component, usually emerges in young adulthood. We also touch briefly on the fact that there seems to be different calendars for males and females. Grant observed,"this points to the bigger picture of things. There is an organization, an architecture, that is embedded in our genome, that controls not just where every molecule is in your brain and how they're all assembled together, but when and how they change throughout the lifespan. It is truly a most extraordinary programming of the genome that gives this remarkable complexity of the brain in both space and in time. And I think this is just a fantastically exciting area."

It's deciding whether or not to operate that's hard. The stakes are high and it's never clear cut. He often dreads having to talk to patients and their families. Damage to healthy brain cells can result in a dramatic change to someone's quality of life; but if a bit of a tumour remains, it's likely to grow back. "How do you tell someone that the best option may be to go away and die?" Once, against his professional judgment, Henry went ahead with surgery because the patient wanted him to operate. The patient died and he blames himself for not being stronger. He talks openly about the cemetery that all doctors inevitably carry with them; and why he would rather be seen as a fallible human being, than either a superhero or villain. Perhaps it's inevitable that doctors are put on a pedestal but it can be unhelpful. Despite a chronic lack of science at school and university, Henry decided to become a neurosurgeon, having found general surgery rather disgusting. Soon after, his three month old son had surgery for a brain tumour: an experience which, he says, helped him to appreciate the fog of anxiety and concern that descends on the people he treats. Getting the balance right between compassion and detachment is a constant challenge. And Henry admits, he pioneered brain surgery under local anaesthetic, in part as a way of confronting head on the almost 'Jekyll and Hyde like split' between being a surgeon in the operating theatre and a friendly consultant who talks to and cares for his patients.

 Brain Treatment Via Nose 14 mins - "The blood-brain barrier has, for decades, served as the major obstacle to the use of many therapeutic agents for central nervous system disorders. However, a noninvasive, intranasal method of bypassing the blood-brain barrier to deliver drugs to the brain and spinal cord was revealed by Dr. William Frey in 1992. Now Dr. Frey and collaborators in Germany report that stem cells can be noninvasively delivered to the brain using the intranasal method. They published their paper in the June issue of the European Journal of Cell Biology. During this week's podcast Dr. Frey discusses what his team was specifically able to demonstrate in an animal model and how they bypassed the blood-brain barrier. He talks about the disadvantages of another approach, cell transplantation to the brain, and outlines the major benefits of the intranasal technique. Dr. Frey also describes the types of diseases most appropriate for intranasal cell delivery and lists the research advances that need to be made before intranasal cell delivery can be become a viable clinical tool for the treatment of people."

By applying neuroscience's tools to a system that humans fully understand (because we built it from scratch), he was able to reveal how surprisingly uninformative those tools actually are.

 Brain Waste 95 mins - "The United States has long attracted some of the world's best and brightest, drawn by the strong U.S. economy, renowned universities, and reputation for entrepreneurship and innovation. But because of language, credential-recognition, and other barriers many of these highly skilled, college-educated immigrants cannot fully contribute their academic and professional training and skills once in the United States. As a result they work in low-skilled jobs or cannot find a job—a phenomenon known as brain waste. On this podcast, MPI experts give a presentation of the first-ever U.S. estimates on the economic costs of this skill underutilization for immigrants, their families, and the U.S. economy, along with estimates on forgone earnings and tax payments for: California, Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Texas, and Washington. The panel discusses the factors linked to immigrant skill underutilization; highlight the potential for current city, state, and U.S. labor policy (including implementation of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act) to reduce this brain waste; and offer an employer-based view of skill underutilization and how it can be addressed."

Brave New World 90 mins - "Dystopian books and films are in the zeitgeist. Reflecting the often dark mood of our times, Intelligence Squared are staging a contest between two of the greatest dystopian novels, Brave New World and Nineteen Eighty-Four. Each book captured the nightmares of the 1930s and 40s. But which vision looks more prescient to us now in the 21st century? Are we living in George Orwell's sinister surveillance state? Or in Aldous Huxley's vapid consumerist culture? To battle it out, we are bringing two celebrated writers, Adam Gopnik and Will Self, to our stage. After Donald Trump was elected, it seemed as if Nineteen Eighty-Four had clinched it. The book shot to the top of the bestseller charts. It felt so ominously familiar. In Orwell's dystopia, the corporate state controls the news, insisting that 'whatever the Party holds to be truth is truth'. That sounds very like Trump's 'alternative facts', and the war he is waging on the 'fake news' media. Orwell imagined two-way telescreens spying on every citizen's home. Today we have Amazon's 'always listening' Alexa device, while Google, Facebook and the security agencies hoover up our personal data for their own ends. Orwell also described an Inner Party – two percent of the population – enjoying all the privileges and political control. Isn't that scarily close to the 'one percent', reviled for their wealth and influence by anti-capitalists today? No wonder everyone rushed out to buy the book. But Orwell's critics say Nineteen Eighty-Four is a dated dystopia, a vision that died along with communism. The novel that better resonates with our present, they say, is Brave New World. Here Aldous Huxley imagined a plastic techno-society where sex is casual, entertainment light and consumerism rampant. There are pills to make people happy, virtual reality shows to distract the masses from actual reality, and hook-ups to take the place of love and commitment. Isn't that all a bit close to home? Huxley even imagined a caste system created by genetic engineering, from alpha and beta types right down to a slave underclass. We may not have gone down that road, but gene-editing might soon enable Silicon Valley's super-rich to extend their lifespans and enhance the looks and intelligence of their offspring. Will we soon witness the birth of a new genetic super-class? Both these novels imagined extraordinary futures, but which better captures our present and offers the keener warning about where we may be heading? Join us on November 28th as our advocates go head to head, with a cast of top actors who will illustrate their arguments with readings from the novels."

International campaigns and the brave struggle of local activists eventually led to reserves being set up in which native people could harvest forest nuts, herbs and fruits without cutting down the trees. The fruits of the forest such as acai berries, cacao and passion fruit have proven such a hit with healthy eating enthusiasts that the business is booming, attracting the attention of big international food companies.

 Breast Cancer 64 mins - "Breast cancer is among America's most feared diseases, and also one of its most politicized. Decades of public education have encouraged women to get annual mammograms, and diagnoses typically trigger surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. But not everyone agrees that this conventional approach serves women best. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force no longer recommends annual screening for all women in their 40s, a change roundly criticized by patient advocates and rejected by Medicare and private insurers. Some surgeons now advise a "wait and see" strategy for women with specific breast cancer diagnoses. Is it possible that we're harming ourselves with too many tests and treatments? Dr. Laura Esserman, a breast cancer surgeon, wrestles with these issues on a daily basis. She conducts pioneering research in the areas of screening based on personalized risk assessment and the benefits of "watchful waiting," and even has suggested re-labeling for some forms of breast cancer.

As the far left and Eurosceptic right have gained strength, much of the country has been left feeling politically homeless. So what's going on? How will these new alignments play out as the country faces the historic challenge of leaving the EU and forging a new relationship with the rest of the world? Are the Conservatives really up to the job, as they bicker over what kind of Brexit they want and jostle over who should succeed Theresa May?

In each episode she brings together two figures who were making significant radio comedy at the same time, and asks them about their experiences. This is a conversational history that focuses on the people who were there and the atmosphere within the BBC and the wider comedy world that allowed them to make great radio - or not. This final edition features Justin Edwards and Jan Ravens looking at radio comedy in the early 2000s. Justin is now known for his work on In And Out Of The Kitchen and Radio 4 Extra's Newsjack, but got his first series in 2003 as part of the sketch team The Consultants. Jan's association with radio comedy dates back to the early 1980s when she became the first-ever female radio comedy producer, but became beloved of the Radio 4 audience for her work on Dead Ringers, which started in 2000. Grace asks them about the atmosphere within the Radio Comedy department and within the BBC; they discuss the difference between topical comedy and satire, and whether the Radio 4 audience necessarily wants either; and they discuss the contribution a good sound engineer can make to a programme."

British Commonwealth Status 28 mins - "With the closing ceremonial of the 2018 London Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting barely over, BBC radio's Royal Correspondent Jonny Dymond excavates the Commonwealth of Nation's 19th Century origins in the British Empire and its formal institution in 1949 as a post-colonial worldwide network of states 'free and equal' within the organisation. Some have joked that the long shadow of its colonial origins has made it the 'after-care service of Empire'. And with Her Majesty the Queen as its Head, the Commonwealth in the 1980s and 1990s became a powerful tool in the pursuit of majority rule in Zimbabwe and South Africa. But since then it has struggled to clearly define itself for the closely interconnected 21st Century. Jonny Dymond samples the colour and the conversation of the London summit, visits the institution's palatial London home, Marlborough House, and talks to Secretary General Patricia Scotland about the Commonwealth's value in the modern world."

British Politics 62 mins - "Is Britain facing an identity crisis? The traditional dividing lines of left and right seem to be dissolving into new political tribes – metropolitan liberals versus the culturally rooted working classes, graduates versus the uneducated, the young versus the old. In June's general election, traditional Labour heartlands like Mansfield went Conservative, while wealthy areas such as Kensington swung to Corbyn. Britain seems utterly confused about its politics. As the far left and Eurosceptic right have gained strength, much of the country has been left feeling politically homeless. So what's going on? How will these new alignments play out as the country faces the historic challenge of leaving the EU and forging a new relationship with the rest of the world? Are the Conservatives really up to the job, as they bicker over what kind of Brexit they want and jostle over who should succeed Theresa May? Is it now unthinkable that Jeremy Corbyn could be the next prime minister? Looming over the current turmoil is the biggest question of all: What kind of Britain do we want to live in? What are the values that should hold our society together? We were joined by Ken Clarke, the most senior Conservative voice in Parliament; Hilary Benn, Labour MP and Chair of the Brexit Select Committee; and Helen Lewis, deputy editor at the New Statesman and prominent voice on the left.

Jon Chambers is a partner at Conexon and was previously the head of the FCC's Office of Strategic Planning and Policy Analysis._ Jon is a strong proponent for ensuring rural residents and businesses have at least the same quality Internet access as urban areas. We talk about his experience and frustration at the FCC, which was content to shovel money at telcos for the most basic infrastructure rather than setting higher expectations to ensure everyone had decent Internet access. We talk about how Co-Mo rolled out fiber to its members without federal assistance, inspiring electric cooperatives around the nation to follow suit. In our discussion, I reference Jon's blog post "FCC to Rural America: Drop Dead." In it, he cites some of the reactions in the FCC from his advocacy for real rural solutions rather than signing big checks to big telcos for delivering slow and unreliable Internet access. One of quotes from a Democrat: "Republicans like corporate welfare, so we're going to give money to the telephone companies to keep the Republicans on the Hill happy." Neither political party comes off looking very good when it comes to rural connectivity, which fits with our impression.

Earlier this month, he and Christopher presented information about 5G at the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities Telecommunications Conference. They took some time during the conference to sit down with the mics and have a conversation for episode 299 of the podcast. There's been scores of hype around the potential of 5G and, while the technology certainly opens up possibilities, Eric and Christopher explain why much of that hype is premature. 5G networks have been touted as an affordable answer to the pervasive problem of rural connectivity, but like other wireless technology, 5G has limitations. Eric breaks down the differences between evolutions of wireless technologies up to now and explains what needs they will fulfill and where we still have significant work to do. Eric also helps us understand GPON and NG-PON2, the technology that much of Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) relies upon. He describes how the technology is evolving and how new possibilities will influence networking.

The successful referendum from 2011 gave the City authority to build the network and this referendum, if successful, will finance a rapid expansion rather than the present incremental approach that will take decades. We have a double interview today, with Vince Jordan rejoining the show from Longmont Power and Communications. He previously spoke with us on episode 10 but today he just gives us the facts about the network and scenarios of what will happen depending on how the city votes. The second interview is with George Oliver, co-founder of the grassroots group Friends of Fiber that is advocating for people to vote yes on question 2B. George explains the benefits of passing this debt, namely that area residents and businesses will gain access to a world class networks without increasing any taxes."

A few years back the town's mayor asked if the local cable or telephone companies wanted to build a fiber network to serve local schools and municipal buildings. The companies declined. The project was turned over to the local gas and electric utility, HG&E. Eighteen years later, HG&E have expanded this network to serve local businesses, and even other towns in the area.

This week, Vice President of Communications, Marketing and Energy Optimization from GLE joins Christopher to talk about what could possibly become the largest FTTH project in the state. GLE anticipates offering its symmetrical Truestream Internet access to members in the pilot area as early as the end of October. The planning process, however, has involved several feasibility studies and at least two years of planning in addition to several more years of contemplation. Shari explains how the region GLE serves covers many different types of geographies, subscriber income levels, and different levels of Internet access competition. Some folks have only dial-up, while others have the option of cable Internet access. One of the challenges GLE faces is educating potential subscribers about the differences between what they have now and the potential with Truestream. She explains that the cooperative has decided to approach deployment with a flexible incremental approach, carefully examining demand as they deploy to determine where they go next across their service area. There's a significant portion of seasonal homes in this northern section of the lower peninsula, and GLE sees that high-quality Internet access can help boost local economic development if those seasonal visitors have the ability to stay longer by working from the cabin."

Each community chose to participate in forming a regional Communications Union District, which will allow them to plan, bond for, and develop regional Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) infrastructure. For episode 298 of the Community Broadband Bits podcast, Christopher interviews Jeremy Hansen, local Select Board Member and the person who spearheaded the effort to bring the issue to voters in his region. As Jeremy tells it, he didn't need to do much convincing when local Vermonters learned about the Communications Union District structure. Most of the people in central Vermont rely on DSL and they overwhelmingly find it inadequate for their needs. The Communications Union District allows several communities to combine their strengths to work toward a single goal. Like water of sewer districts, the entity can issue revenue bonds so the infrastructure is publicly owned, but user funded. ECFiber is organized as a Communications Union District and serves 24 member towns in the eastern part of the state."

One touch make ready simplifies the process, resulting in many benefits for communities in addition to lowering the cost to build new networks. We explore that topic to start.

This year it's different so Christopher and Lisa sat down to have a brief chat about some of the notable state actions that have been taken up at state Capitols. We decided to cover a few proposals that we feel degrade the progress some states have made, bills that include positive and negative provisions, and legislation that we think will do nothing but good. Our analysis covers the map from the states in New England to states in the Northwest. In addition to small changes that we think will have big impact - like the definition of "broadband" - we discuss the way tones are shifting. In a few places, like Colorado, state leaders are fed up with inaction or obstruction from the big ISPs that use the law to solidify their monopoly power rather than bring high-quality connectivity to citizens. Other states, like New Hampshire and Washington, recognize that local communities have the ability to improve their situation and are taking measured steps to reduce barriers to broadband deployment. While they still maintain significant power in many places, national corporate ISPs may slowly be losing their grip over state legislators. We talk about that, too."

For episode 317 of the podcast, Hannah and Christopher discuss the report and the main findings. Hannah and Christopher provide more insight into the main findings of the report, which analyzes where competition exists and where large national providers fail to invest. The result ultimately creates densely populated areas with more competition for broadband (as defined by the FCC) than rural areas. Due to their de facto monopolies, the top national providers capture huge segments of the population. Hannah and Christopher also talk about the quality of the Form 477 data and the need for better benchmarks, we learn about why Hannah and Christopher felt that it was time to take the data and turn it into a visual story. You'll learn more about their methodology in developing the maps and their analysis. Hannah, who created the maps that make the foundation of the report, shares some of the surprises she discovered. The two talk about the Connect America Fund and the policies behind the program and how the results have aggravated lack of broadband in rural America and how cooperatives are picking up the slack where big corporate ISPs are failing rural America.

 Broadband Mapping&utm_content=FeedBurner) 33 mins - "Whether it's a local government or ISP that chooses to invest in fiber optic infrastructure accurate, dependable, mapping is critical before, during, and after initial deployment. This week's guests deliver that service through VETRO FiberMap. CEO Will Mitchell and COO Sean Myers join Christopher to discuss their mapping platform, the creative ways they use it, and their expectations for the future of fiber networks. Will and Sean explain how in working with ISPs and local communities interested in providing better connectivity, they've found that they've been able to adjust FiberMap to deliver specialized services. FiberMap has provided the information needed to not only deploy, expand, and manage fiber networks, but it has also allowed companies and publicly owned networks to develop marketing plans and expand their future visions."

Broadband Mistakes 18 mins \- "This is a show I have been wanting to do for years - discussing some of the common mistakes that have been make by community owned networks. Offering broadband and other telecommunications services is a difficult business for any entity, public or private and all network owners make mistakes. The vast majority of these errors can be and are fixed so the network may carry on. While in Dallas for the Broadband Communities Summit, I asked Design Nine founder Andrew Cohill about common problems faced by community owned networks and how to prepare for them or avoid them entirely. We discuss how having a strong business plan is essential, with some of the requirements that should be included. We agree that a reliance on grant funding is a giant warning flag. We also discuss a number of other things new networks should watch out for, especially over staffing."

 Broadband Needs 82 mins - "The Trump administration has laid out an aggressive vision for a $1 trillion national infrastructure plan to fix the nation's roads, bridges, tunnels, railroads, and even expand broadband access. Recent action also suggests that Congress has recognized the importance of broadband as the next critical infrastructure asset—and there appears to be bipartisan support to ensure that 21st century technology is available to all communities, especially among rural areas and tribal lands. As the U.S. government considers the specifics of a potentially massive investment in infrastructure, how will broadband be integrated into the broader plan and possibly be aligned with other asset improvements for more intelligent design? On July 24, 2017, Brookings' Center for Technology Innovation hosted a forum focused on the inclusion of broadband in the president's infrastructure plan. What lessons can be learned by the administration from the 2009 National Recovery Act, the Federal Communications Commission's successful spectrum incentive auctions, and the increasing private investments into broadband networks by service providers? Where are the synergies between the administration's goals and the movement toward smart cities and the deployment of 5G wireless technologies? How will the pending infrastructure plan promote a long-term vision for increased build-out in rural areas and on tribal lands?"

Though the City won't be providing services directly to subscribers, the network it is building and the model it has created could revolutionize public safety. I just spent several days with them shooting our next video on community fiber networks (look for that in January). In episode 173 of our Community Broadband Bits podcast, we talk with City Technology Director Bruce Patterson and Systems Network Administrator Ty Ashcraft. Bruce explains how they plan to finance the network as it moves from the current residential pilot phase to being available broadly to any residents that want to connect, likely using a local improvement district model. Then Ty tells us about the portal that subscribers will be able to use to instantaneously pick and change service providers offering various services.

 Broadband Open Access 31 mins "The holy grail of Internet access for many of us continues to be a situation in which multiple providers can compete on a level playing field, which should lower costs to subscribers and encourage innovation. Often called open access, this may involve a municipality building a fiber optic network and making it available on a wholesale level - a model that has been tried to various degrees of success. This week, we talk with Tim Pozar, a long time Internet entrepreneur and community network enthusiast, about why he supports that model and his ideal method of engineering such a network. We talk about different possibilities for how to design the network and trade-offs involved with those choices. Tim has worked for many years to encourage this model in San Francisco, which already has some of the locally rooted ISPs that we would hope would ultimately thrive if the City had that type of network available."

 Broadband Options 39 mins - "The open access approach, which generally refers to multiple service providers offering services across the same physical network, remains a challenge for those who want to implement it. Though many communities would prefer to focus on the infrastructure rather than selling services directly in competition with existing providers, most find the approach is not feasible. This week, Eric Lampland is back on the show to discuss what the challenges are and how the future of open access may not be what many imagine it to be.

 Broadband Public vs Private 37 mins - "ver since the last time I spoke with Blair Levin on Episode 37, I have wanted to have him back for a friendly discussion about public or private ownership of next generation networks. Though Blair and I entirely agree that local governments should be free to decide locally whether a community broadband network investment is a wise choice, he tends to see more promise in partnerships or other private approaches whereas we at ILSR tend to be concerned about the long term implications of private ownership of essential infrastructure. In what may be the longest interview we have done, Blair and I discuss where we agree and how we differ. We weren't looking to prove the other wrong so much as illustrate our different points of view so listeners can evaluate our sides. Ultimately, we both believe in a United States where communities can choose between both models -- and some may even seek solutions that incorporate both. Blair Levin was the FCC Chief of Staff when Reed Hundt was Chair and was instrumental in forming Gig.U. In between, he did a lot of things, including being Executive Director for the FCC's National Broadband Plan. He is currently with the Metropolitan Project at Brookings."

 Broadband Right of Way  Basics 29 mins - "For this week's Community Broadband Bits, we are delving into an area of law and practice that is quite important for Internet network deployment but tends to be dry and confusing. Not for us today though, we have Sean Stokes, a Principal at Baller Herbst Stokes & Lide, joining us to explain Right-of-Way basics. We talk about what the public Right-of-Way (ROW) is, who is responsible for maintaining it, how entities can get access to it and how poles are distinct from the ROW. We discuss how much power local governments and pole owners have to deny access to these assets and some of the costs associated with make-ready. If you don't know what make-ready is, you'll know in less than thirty minutes. We finish our discussion by exploring the "Municipal Gain" policy in Connecticut, where munis are entitled to some space on the poles for any purpose they choose to use it. Historically, this was used only for public safety, but it was recently broadened. Sean also explores how he believes we should simplify access for fiber-optics rather than basing access on the particular end service being offered."

The question is -- how can they get broadband to those who don't have it. It's not longer a "nice-to-have" but rather, a "must-have." At the CableLab annual conference, the team showed a video that emphasized their vision for the future of healthcare. Virtual doctors and other technologies show promise in the future of medicine. In fact, technologies such as these could cut nearly one trillion dollars in health care costs. You need to question society. What innovation do I need to create to address this societal challenge?

**Broccoli Benefits** 44 mins - "...Dr. Paul Talalay announced that he had isolated the phytochemical _Sulforaphane_ from the embattled cruciferous vegetable. It may not have seemed like much at the time, but over a quarter-century later, we're still discovering new powers of this multifaceted compound. ...Sulforaphane is of medical interest because of the cytoprotective ("cell-protecting") functions that it encourages. As of now, it is among the most potent naturally-occurring inducers of cytoprotective enzymes known to science. A great deal of research is aimed at learning the mechanisms by which seems able to protect the body against chronic disease. While Sulforaphane offers tantalizing hints that it may be not just "healthy," but an actual therapeutic tool, its status as a naturally-occurring compound is something of a double-edged sword. The astronomical cost of running human trials to validate its therapeutic usefulness against specific diseases is a major disincentive for an un-patentable compound, existing in the public domain as the extract of a common plant.

Bt Toxin 59 mins - "If you tell a stranger that something called "delta endotoxin" is as close as it gets to a miracle, they'd likely respond in one of two ways.

Humans have love-hate relationships with toxic compounds, and delta endotoxin, or "Bt toxin" is no exception. This natural protein is toxic to a specific suite of pests, namely caterpillars that consume ag crops. It has been understood for decades and is widely used in organic farming. It also is the protein used to protect corn and cotton from insect damage, and now is being used in eggplant in Bangladesh. The use of this natural insecticide has massively cut the use of broad-spectrum insecticides. Today on the podcast it is a pleasure to talk to Dr. Fred Perlak.

 Buddhism 27 mins - "An unholy spat is stirring the Sangha, Thailand's top Buddhist authority – who will become the next Supreme Patriarch, Thailand's most senior monk? Meanwhile, allegations of 'cheque-book Buddhism', cronyism and corruption abound – including allegations about tax-evasion on an imported vintage Mercedes car. In Thailand, where the majority of the population profess Buddhism, seeking ordination isn't unusual. But salacious stories about monks who commit serious crimes – everything from sex offences to wildlife trafficking – continue to shock. Watching quietly from the side-lines is the Venerable Dhammananda – female, and a Buddhist monk since 2003. Although the Sangha bars women from ordination, there are now around 100 bhikkhunis, as female monastics are known, in Thailand. And their growing acceptance by some Buddhist believers might partly be explained by a widespread disillusionment with the behaviour of some male monks.

 Businesswoman Story 20 mins - ""I'd been patronized as a child," Dame Stephanie Shirley — a.k.a. Steve — tells us this week. "I wasn't going to be patronized as an adult." The kind of company that Stephanie Shirley wanted to work for didn't exist in 1962, so she created her own. "I wanted a company that was suitable for me [and] that I would like to work in," Shirley says. "And I knew there were lots of women who had also hit the glass ceiling and were completely and utterly ignored by the industry." She's talking about the software industry, which was even more of a boys club in the sixties. So Shirley started her own business, hired a bunch of women from IBM, and even changed her first name from Stephanie to Steve — in order to get the attention of potential clients through promotional materials. Shirley tells us her incredible story, which includes creating a company that would later be valued at $3 billion, being made a dame by Queen Elizabeth, and keeping herself mentally and physically fit in the midst of life's many hurdles.

 Cadmium Telluride 7 mins - "Neither the metal cadmium nor the metalloid tellurium are everyday elements, though a small amount of cadmium was used in the now largely obsolete nickel-cadmium rechargeable batteries, and tellurium may be lurking in re-writable CDs and DVDs. But together, in cadmium telluride, they provide a material that can increasingly be seen in arrays of panels, catching the rays of the sun. Because cadmium telluride is one of the leading semiconductors used to convert sunlight to electricity in photovoltaic cells. The idea of using a semiconductor to produce electricity from light goes back a surprisingly long way, decades before Einstein would explain the photoelectric effect in the paper that won him the Nobel prize. For example, the American engineer Charles Fritts described a working 'selenium photocell' in the American Journal of Science in 1883. But realistic devices making use of the way that electrons could be boosted free of a molecular structure by the energy in photons of light only started to become practical, rather than interesting demonstrations, in the 1950s. The driver initially for the development of solar cells was the need to provide electricity to satellites. Conventional batteries alone were heavy and short lasting. Over 60 per cent of the mass of the very first orbiting artificial satellite, Sputnik 1, was in its batteries, which gave out after just 22 days of use. But if the power for a satellite could be derived from sunlight, the probe could operate far longer. What's more, outside the inconvenient disruption of weather in the atmosphere, solar cells in space could be far more effective...."

Calcium Crisis 11 mins - "Acid rain has depleted calcium in lakes, leading to an overpopulation of jelly-coated organisms. The problem of acid rain is one of the few success stories we've had in controlling pollution, as the industrial emissions that cause it have been cut substantially. But the environmental damage and disruption caused by acid rain still echo in the wilderness. One example discovered by Professor John Smol, a biologist and Canada Research Chair in Environmental Change at Queen's University in Kingston, and his colleagues, is what they're calling the "jellification" of temperate lakes. Acid rain depleted the environments around these mineral-poor lakes of calcium, which is essential to lake organisms. Without calcium entering the lakes in run-off, some crustaceans at the base of the aquatic food chain, which make their exoskeletons from the mineral, are at a disadvantage, and they're being displaced by species that have a jelly-like coating.

 California Fires 49 mins - "Think this is a record fire year? Given all the news coverage lately it may be surprising that the number of fires and acres burned in the United States is actually down this year from 2017. But the intensity and nearly year-round timing of the fires in the American West has entered a new chapter. Drought, high temperatures and winds, as well as extensive building near forested lands, are creating a volatile combination for super fires different than what we have experienced before. "We are setting new modern records, and it seems like the old rules are out," a Cal Fire official told the San Francisco Chronicle. Scientists say climate change is creating conditions for stronger fires that are likely to occur more frequently. What role has Smokey Bear played in creating these conditions? Is President Trump correct that thinning forests would dampen fires? What happens to people and watersheds after the fires recede from the headlines?

The gold rush transformed the west coast of America and its economy, but also uprooted local populations of Native Americans and made irreversible changes to natural habitats.

Virgin old growth redwood trees were logged in the forests along the 40 miles of track to the coastal town Ft. Bragg. Rail Villages, those isolated communities accessible only by train track prospered and grew. Then came the automobile and trucks. In this edition of Radio Curious we visit with Richard Jergensen, president of the Mendocino Country Railroad Society, about the history of the California Western and the Northwestern Pacific Railroads, and what their presence did and can do in the future.

 Campaign Finance Experiment 30 mins - "Seattle is running the country's most radical experiment to fix campaign finance. Last year, the city sent every resident $100 that they could donate to the local campaign of their choice. Seattle flooded its election with small donations to try to drown out the influence of big money in politics. In the first episode of our second season, we set out to discover if Seattle's experiment made a difference for who decides to run for office, how candidates interact with voters, and who donates to campaigns.

 Campaign Finance Reform&utm_content=FeedBurner) 38 mins - "When I first met Richard Painter some months ago, I thought he must be the loneliest man in the Republican Party. He's a conservative, and, of course, I'm not. But he believes, as I do, that there's too much money in politics. Political insiders know Richard Painter well as President George W. Bush's White House counselor and chief ethical advisor. He's now teaching law at the University of Minnesota, and he's causing heads to turn with a book advocating that we reduce the power of big money in politics. Its title is Taxation Only With Representation: The Conservative Conscience and Campaign Finance Reform. There's a lot to learn from it, and I urge you to read it, because it is rare today to find a conservative who will admit, as Mr. Painter does, that money corrupts politics, and then makes his case with so much passion and logic. His book is also timely because the issue has reached a boiling point this year. Thousands of people descended on Washington just last week in a movement they call Democracy Spring, deliberately getting arrested to protest on behalf of cleaner politics and a government liberated from Big Money. Every poll I've consulted reveals a deep and substantial support in this country for those objectives...."

 Campaign Finance Reform 51 mins - "In January 2010, the Supreme Court handed down their landmark Citizens United ruling, dramatically altering campaign finance in America. The decision allowed corporations and labor unions to spend unlimited money directly on politics and it created an explosion in so-called 501(c)(4)s, nonprofits named for where they fall in the tax code. As these organizations have become some of the biggest spenders in politics today, new questions are arising in D.C. and around the country about how -- and whether -- money in politics should be reined in. Four years after Citizens United: how we pay for politics and the state of campaign finance reform."

 Campaign Financing 15 mins - "With President Trump's nomination of federal judge Brett Kavanaugh, the Supreme Court will likely be locked up by the political right for a generation. This is in large part thanks to a historic decision made in 2010 by the court's then-shakier conservative majority: the _Citizens United_ ruling, which fundamentally reshaped the political landscape of the United States by unleashing floods of political spending, particularly in the form of untraceable "dark money." For the state of Montana, the post- _Citizens United_ world has brought back old memories: over a century ago, copper kings like William A. Clark used their vast wealth to control the state and buy up political power. In 1912, the state responded by passing one of the first campaign finance laws in the nation, banning corporate political spending entirely. That law was struck down by the Supreme Court in 2012, but Montanans have continued to push back against corporate political spending using other means. A new documentary, _Dark Money_ , uses Montana as a microcosm to explain the reality of campaign finance in the United States today.

 Canary  Honeybees 31 mins - This is an extended interview with Niwot, Colorado, Beekeeper Tom Theobald about three recently published studies on how neonicotinoids harm bees.

Colony collapse isn't a syndrome, it's a symptom, according to Theobald an experienced beekeeper. He says the pesticides kill the ground, turning soil into adobe that won't grow plant life. The companies that make the pesticide also control the seed and chemical fertilizers needed to grow our crops, so they are creating a company store paradigm. The studies show the original safety evaluation of neonicotinoids was flawed and unacceptable. The EPA has been petitioned to remove the chemical from use. It is already banned in Europe. The EPA effort has been ongoing for over a year.

Meanwhile he's gotten married, taught at Columbia University, and performed in an improv comedy group. His first book of poetry,  Four Reincarnations, comes out this fall. One work from that book, "Poem to My Litter," was just  published in the New Yorker. But Ritvo is more than his accomplishments. He's someone who reminded us that there are many different ways to look at death, and dying, and some of them make you actually laugh at loud. He came back to visit us a few weeks ago on what he called his "farewell tour." Even in his final days, Max says he keeps his sense of humor alive. "When you laugh at something horrible, you're just illuminating a different side of it that was already there. If you make something sad funny you're much more likely to remember it. It's a mnemonic device that makes our suffering rhyme with joy." At the link click the circle with three dots, right-click "Download" and select "Save Link As" from the pop-up menu.

Cancer Molecular Testing 7 mins - "It is worthwhile to recall the brain-to-brain (B2B) loop in laboratory testing.[1];) ...Molecular testing of human malignancies has been working its way through this B2B process. The costs have been high; the benefits thus far are mostly a better scientific understanding of the very nature of many cancers. But now, clinical data are accumulating that support molecular testing of many cancers. A simple diagnostic label of a cancer by organ location and histology is no longer enough. Many cancers now require molecular characterization in order to establish a proper actionable diagnosis. ... Molecular test results can _prevent_ the waste of dollars on predictably ineffective targeted therapy. The main decision still to be elucidated is _when_ in the clinical life of a recognized cancer is the best time for molecular testing and how extensive should it be? At initial diagnosis, since the number of mutations may be fewer early in the course of the malignancy and effective intervention may be more likely? Or, after recurrence or spread, despite the likelihood of greater mutational load by that time? Or should testing occur] sequentially, such as with liquid biopsies?[[5];) An argument can be made for each approach. The best answers will get worked out by tumor response and outcome data—molecular cancer diagnosis by molecular cancer diagnosis. The Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) recently published a list of justifications for molecular testing of malignancies.[6];) ...Upon receipt of a lab test result, the clinician wants to know: What does this mean? What should I do now? My activist approach tells me that the pathologist should advise at the front end (ie, why do this test?), determine how and when the specimen is collected, and where and how the test is performed. And at the distal end of the B2B loop, [advise on] what [the results] mean and what should now be done."

What would be the conditions for this new regime to become autonomous and even dominant, and what are the signs of it happening? As context, we will be using the Tribes, Institutions, Markets, Networks framework of David Ronfeldt, the Relational Grammar of Alan Page Fiske, and the evolution of modes of exchange as described by Kojin Karatini in The Structure of World History. We will argue that there is consistent evidence that the structural crises of the dominant political economy is leading to responses that are prefigurative of a new value regime, of which the seed forms can be clearly discerned."

 Capitalism is Broken 57 mins - "Our guest this week believes capitalism is broken, and he makes a pretty good argument to support this. He explains how capitalism as a system has spawned deepening economic crisis alongside its bought-and-paid-for political establishment. Neither of these outcomes serves the needs of our society. Our guest this week believes he has the solution – a cure for capitalism. In this episode, world renowned economist, Dr. Richard Wolff, offers a fair critique of capitalism and advocates for a worker cooperative based economy. This solution requires the institution of genuine economic democracy, starting with workers directing their own workplaces, as the basis for a genuine political democracy. According to Dr. Wolff, what most people don't realize is that worker cooperatives are actually larger than conventional businesses, survive at least as long as other businesses, and have more stable employment. Tune in and get your smart people economics fix! Dr. Richard D. Wolff is professor of economics emeritus at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He is currently a visiting professor at the New School for Social Research in New York. Wolff is the author of many books, including his newest, _Democracy at Work: A Cure for Capitalism_. He is also the founder of Democracy at Work, a 501(c)3 organization that conceives, creates, and distributes content aimed at demonstrating why, and how, democratizing the workplace is a feasible solution to a new and better economic system."

 Carbon Capture 7 mins - "Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is now above 400 parts per million. It continues to rise. For the past 800,000 years, it has mostly been below 300 parts per million. Natural and agricultural environments have not developed under these sudden new conditions. Some people suggest as the situation worsens, we will reach the point where there is no choice but to strip carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Klaus Lackner and his colleagues at the Center for Negative Carbon Emissions at Arizona State University in Phoenix are focussed on this problem. They are developing technology using a moisture swing sorbent cycle for capturing carbon dioxide from air. The sorbent, an anionic exchange resin, absorbs CO2 when it is dry, and releases it again when exposed to moisture. The group aims to advance this technology and scale it, so it becomes cheap and a realistic option for solving this developing problem."

 Carbon Capture 9 mins - "On paper, carbon capture is a simple proposition: Take carbon that we've pulled out of the Earth in the form of coal and oil and put into the atmosphere, and pull it out of the atmosphere and put it back in the Earth. It's like hitting undo on the Industrial Revolution. And scientists can indeed yank CO2 out of thin air, except that the process is expensive, not very efficient, and morally complicated. ...Carbon Engineering says its facility in British Columbia—which works by blowing air over a filter, where proprietary chemicals leach out the CO2—can suck in one ton of carbon a day. (A ton of CO2 is the equivalent of burning around 100 gallons of gas, by the way.) But direct air capture tech remains expensive because there are few incentives to develop it. The authors of the new NAS report say that at the moment, the price to operate these things is around $600 per ton of CO2. But Oldham says Carbon Engineering has gotten the price down to $100 per ton, in part by co-opting technologies in its facility from other industries like water treatment. ...Alternately, governments can implement what they should have long ago: carbon taxes. The general principle is that if you release carbon, you get taxed, and that money goes toward fighting climate change. "The beauty of a carbon tax is it puts in motion so many different ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that we can't even predict," says MIT economist Christopher Knittel, who studies the mechanism. "This is one of them—we don't know what the best technology is for taking carbon out of the air." The trouble with passing carbon taxes, though, comes right back to the fossil fuel companies. "Historically the difficulty with the carbon tax is that it in principle would penalize a bunch of very large firms that produce oil and coal, and those large firms have a large degree of lobbying power," says Knittel. Even a blue state like Washington has tried and failed to pass a carbon tax, though that's now on the ballot again. That moral hazard? Yeah, it just got a lot more hazardous."

Carbon Capture in Soil 30 mins - "Can soil play a role in the fight against climate change? Our soils are the biggest store of terrestrial carbon on the planet. This crucial non-renewable natural resource is under threat, and millions of hectares of farmland are lost every year through erosion and degradation of topsoil, releasing significant quantities of carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere. The French Government believes that soil can play a significant part in keeping the rise in global average temperatures below 2 degrees. They've introduced an initiative called "4 per 1000", which aims to improve the organic carbon matter in soil stocks by 4 parts in 1000 per year. They claim such an increase in soils around the world would be enough to offset all human emissions of greenhouse gases each year.

The documentary film Cowspiracy contends that large environmental groups are turning a blind eye to the harmful effects cattle have on ecosystems and human health. Environmentalists bristle at the charge and point to work promoting vegan and vegetarian diets and campaigns against factory farms and other aspects of the animal agriculture industry. The film, which was backed by Leonardo DiCaprio, presents "a sensationalist conspiracy where none exists," according to Greenpeace executive Robin Oakley. However a growing number of environmentalists are praising cows and claim they can be climate healers rather than the villains they are often made out to be. They contend that a cow's methane-rich burps can be offset if cattle grazing patterns are carefully managed. The result, they say, can be pretty landscapes and healthy soil that stores both carbon and water. Is that just spin from cattle ranchers? Does Cowspiracy use green groups as a foil to make a sensational film to generate buzz? A conversation about the future of an American icon in the age of climate disruption."

But many have not forgotten - including in the region of Catalonia, where bitter memories of Franco's rule are just beneath the surface. Before Madrid imposed direct rule last October, the pro-independence Catalan government began an unprecedented plan to excavate civil war mass graves and collect DNA from families looking for their lost relatives.

Celiac Disease 43 mins - "In the 1930s, a Dutch pediatrician named Willem Dicke began to study a mysterious, often-fatal disease that was afflicting his patients. Children were losing weight and becoming malnourished despite consuming plenty of calories. The symptoms were intense and widespread. Willem Dicke suspected the illness was somehow related to the children's diet. But it wasn't until years later that he found the proof he was looking for. It came in the form of a grotesque natural experiment produced by the Second World War. In 1940, Germany had invaded and occupied the Netherlands. In 1944, Dutch railway workers held a strike in support of the Allies. This prompted the Nazis to cut off food shipments to Dutch civilians. Some people resorted to eating grass or tulip bulbs; thousands died of starvation. But Willem Dicke noticed something strange. His pediatric patients who'd been sick before the war... That's right, grains. Which the kids hadn't been eating during the Hunger Winter — but now, after bread came back, they were. So Dicke ran a little experiment. And that is how our modern understanding of celiac disease came to be. Even today, it's still somewhat mysterious. But one thing that isn't mysterious at all is the trigger..."

Cellphone Drying Methods 41 mins - "One time, I misjudged the depth of a creek, stepped in, and was literally in over my head. Not that much of a problem, except I had various electronics in my backpack. As thousands (millions?) of people have done, I stuck my phone and camera in a bowl of rice and waited. A few days later, I pulled them out. Neither worked. Of course they didn't. Rice is not a magical phone saving device, as Trent Dennison, a nurse turned iPhone repairman will tell you. Dennison is one of the very few people in the United States who actually knows how to repair water damaged phones. For the last year, he's been on a personal mission to stop people from ruining perfectly good rice with waterlogged phones. As Dennison explains, corrosion starts immediately after water touches an electronic device's internal components; the only way you can reliably repair the phone is by getting rid of that corrosion. In fact, Dennison says, you'd be better off sticking your phone in rubbing alcohol, for reasons he explains in the podcast. Because we at Motherboard like to make you eat your (delicious) vegetables along with our more easily consumable content, we called in Charles Duan, director of Public Knowledge's Patent Reform Project to talk with us about why independent repair professionals like Dennison are important—and why the right to repair your devices is at risk. Everyone from Apple to John Deere is hoping to use a poorly written copyright law and other tricks to make it as hard as possible—perhaps illegal—for you to repair things you should ostensibly own."

Cells and Bacteria 42 mins - "Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the cell, the fundamental building block of life. First observed by Robert Hooke in 1665, cells occur in nature in a bewildering variety of forms. Every organism alive today consists of one or more cells: a single human body contains up to a hundred trillion of them. The first life on Earth was a single-celled organism which is thought to have appeared around three and a half billion years ago. That simple cell resembled today's bacteria. But eventually these microscopic entities evolved into something far more complex, and single-celled life gave rise to much larger, complex multicellular organisms. But how did the first cell appear, and how did that prototype evolve into the sophisticated, highly specialised cells of the human body?

 Cellular Senescence 32 mins - "In 1965, Professor Leonard Hayflick published a landmark paper describing a process that limited the proliferation – or growth – of normal human cells in culture. Linking this effect to both tumour suppression and ageing, the exact mechanism of what came to be known as cellular senescence was still unknown. Fast forward half a century and cellular senescence is taking centre stage as a promising therapeutic approach for treatment of age-related pathologies. But what have we uncovered about how this senescence happens in cells? And how might we harness this knowledge for the treatment of an ever-ageing population? To explore this and more, Ian Sample speaks to the Mayo Clinic's Dr Jan van Deursen, who came to the field via an interest in the molecular basis of cancer. We also hear from Newcastle University's Professor of Cellular Gerontology, Thomas von Zglinicki, who was a senior author of a recent Nature Communications paper that unpacked the role of cellular senesence in age-related liver disease."

 Cellulosic Biofuels P1 29 mins - "This episode begins a three-part series on cellulosic ethanol and other cellulosic biofuels. What if we could take one of the most prolific, abundant, renewable, and sustainable items on the plant - Cellulose - and make fuel from it? Well, we can! Sounds fantastic, but there are, of course, challenges. It's expensive, the conversions aren't as great as we'd like them to be, there is a lot of work that needs to be done to improve the processes in order to make cellulosic biofuels a widespread reality. This is the first part of the three-part series where we explore these opportunities and challenges with cellulosic biofuels. Dr. Brown describes a future where farmers can produce biomass that is specifically bred to be processed into fuels that can go directly into an engine. This would, of course, take collaboration between seed companies, farmers, ethanol plants, and fuel manufacturers and retailers."

You have head from Michael McAdams describing some exciting new ideas affecting the industry and articulating how the government is involved. Now we speak with someone in private industry. Eric Mork works for ICM that designs, builds, and manages ethanol technologies and business models. One process ICM has developed solves a very practical problem: how can we get more from the plants that we already have? They have accomplished this by retrofitting corn ethanol plants to also make cellulosic ethanol out of the non-corn residue that they get in. If you've ever seen a truckload of corn leave a farmer's field, you know that there is more than corn in there! ICM's process uses that residue to make cellulosic ethanol in addition to the corn-based ethanol that the plant is already processing. These are collaborative, interesting, and effective solutions that are going to lead us to future technologies that produce more food, fiber, and fuel using less resources. Visit ICM's website.

Because of that, I was forwarded the December 22 Washington Post article about Trump's garishly over the top challenge coin by about...9000 people.

Chanel 14 mins - "It was the end of World War II, the American military had entered Paris, and soldiers lined up in droves outside one Paris store, hoping to get their hands on the ultimate luxury product: Chanel No. 5.

And, she says, it took much more than marketing to get it to the top. "It turns out that, Chanel No. 5... is an amazing accomplishment in perfume," Mazzeo adds. In the 1910s and 20s, perfumers were just starting to introduce synthetic scent compounds – and one synthetic in particular, an aldehyde, was used in Chanel No. 5 to "represent a bouquet of flowers that does not really exist in the world."

 Charcoal Market 7 mins - "It's something Kazeuka knows well. He's a charcoal producer himself, in central Tanzania's Kilosa district, and in the past he says he never paid attention to things like wildlife or watersheds. He just went into the forest and cut every tree he could find, no matter the size. 35-year-old Rashidy Kazeuka used to produce charcoal illegally, cutting every tree he could with no concern for things like wildlife or watersheds. Under Tanzania's new pilot program he's now producing more sustainable charcoal on designated land, and paying fees that support local services. Kazeuka says he's also making more money and his family respects him because his children will now be able to carry on the tradition. These days, Kazeuka still produces charcoal in a traditional kiln — piling chunks of earth around a stick frame covering the wood. But everything else about what he does is different. He is part of a new sustainable charcoal pilot project aimed at helping rural producers make and sell charcoal in a way that doesn't decimate Tanzania's forests. Deforestation is rampant here, and the charcoal market is a big reason why. About 95 percent of urban households in this rapidly urbanizing country use it as their primary fuel."

Chasing Ice 52 mins - "At the top of the program, Bill offers some fact-checks to Bill O'Reilly for false statements the Fox News icon made about him during O'Reilly's  public  debate with Jon Stewart, and reiterates his longstanding invitation to O'Reilly to appear on Moyers & Company for some straight talk. Afterward, James Balog, one of the world's premier nature photographers, joins Bill to explain how "the earth is having a fever."...Now he joins Bill to share his amazing photos, discoveries, and self-discoveries – including his transformation from climate change skeptic to true believer. Balog's soon-to-be-released film, Chasing Ice, is a breathtaking account of climate change in action. In the final segment, Bill explores a judicial system under partisan attack. Thirty-eight states now elect their high court judges. Over the last decade, $200 million — much of it secret and tied to partisan agendas — has poured into these judicial campaigns. In Florida, Pennsylvania, and Iowa, for example, justices are being targeted by radical groups that abhor judicial independence and want the courts to reflect their own political biases."

Chat Bots 62 mins - "Seven years ago chatbots - those robotic texting machines - were a mere curiosity. They were noticeably robotic and at their most malicious seemed only capable of scamming men looking for love online. Today, the chatbot landscape is wildly different. From election interference to spreading hate, chatbots have become online weapons. And so, we decided to reinvestigate the role these robotic bits of code play in our lives and the effects they're having on us. We begin with a little theater. In our live show "Robert or Robot?" Jad and Robert test 100 people to see if they can spot a bot.

Chef Dan Barber 40 mins - "In this latest episode of Gastropod, chef and author Dan Barber takes listeners on a journey around the world in search of great flavor and the ecosystems that support it, from Spain to the deep South. You'll hear how a carefully tended landscape of cork trees makes for delicious ham, and about a squash so cutting edge it doesn't yet have a name, in this deep dive into the intertwined history and science of soil, cuisine, and flavor. It's hard to imagine now, but there was a time before refrigerators, before long-distance trucks and ships. Most people had to survive on food from their immediate surroundings, no matter how poor the soil or challenging the terrain. They couldn't import apples from New Zealand and potatoes from Peru, or rely on chemical fertilizer to boost their yields. From within these constraints, communities around the world developed a way of eating that Dan Barber calls "ecosystem cuisines." Barber, the James Beard-award-winning chef of Blue Hill restaurant and author of the new book The Third Plate, spoke to Gastropod about his conviction that this historically-inspired style of cuisine can be reinvented, with the help of plant-breeders, his fellow chefs, and the latest in flavor science, in order to create a truly sustainable way to eat for the twenty-first century."

When we think of the downside of the natural gas boom in this country, we usually think of the potential of environmental harm.

Chestnut Trees Return 10 mins - "A century ago, the American Chestnut was a tremendously important species in the forests of Eastern North America, representing more than a quarter of forest trees in a swath from Georgia to Ontario. But a fungus introduced on imported Asian chestnut trees turned out to be catastrophic for the American Chestnut, and killed billions of trees, essentially wiping out the species by the 1950's. Breeding a blight-resistant tree has proved laborious and difficult, so now a team led by Dr. William Powell, a professor at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse, New York, has developed a genetically modified American Chestnut that uses a gene from wheat to resist the fungus. They are currently going through the regulatory approval process, but believe this could be the first attempt to use a GM organism in an environmental restoration project."

As chief justice of the United States Supreme Court—the longest-serving in history—he established the independence of the judiciary and the supremacy of the Constitution and the federal courts. As the leading Federalist in Virginia, he rivaled his cousin Thomas Jefferson in influence. As a diplomat and secretary of state, he defended American sovereignty against France and Britain, counseled President John Adams, and supervised the construction of Washington, D.C. This is the story of how a rough-cut frontiersman with little formal education became one of the nation's preeminent lawyers and politicians and, with cunning, imagination and grace, shaped America's future."

 Child Safety Excesses 52 mins – "There's been a lot of talk recently about religious freedom, and it seems to have intensified as gay marriages have become legal in many states.

Child Shelter Fire in Guatemala 27 mins - "On 8th March, 2017 a fire engulfed part of the Virgen de la Asuncion children's home on the outskirts of Guatemala City. 41 teenaged girls died. A further 15 were seriously injured, and are still recovering from burns. The President of Guatemala, Jimmy Morales, declared 3 days of national mourning. But the story that soon emerged revealed a child protection crisis of epic proportions. Virgen de la Asuncion was supposed to be a refuge for children affected by abuse, neglect or who had become entangled in Guatemala's gang culture. Often girls were placed in the home for their own protection, to keep them from the clutches of traffickers and drug dealers who operate with impunity in poor neighbourhoods. But conditions at the home were appalling. Designed for 400, it was home to hundreds more boys and girls. And far from being a sanctuary for the children, there was a terrifying culture of abuse – sexual and physical. On 7th March, 2017 more than 100 of the children and young people broke out. Most were rounded up in the local area by the police. As punishment, they were locked up. And in protest, in the room where the girls were corralled, one of them set fire to a mattress. Assignment meets families, explores the fate of others who lived at the home, and talks to welfare workers. Why did no one heed the loud warning bells about Virgen de la Asuncion?"

While many factors influence a child's well-being, poverty—particularly early in life—can have long-term consequences in many areas, such as the ability to be successful in school and work.

 Childhood Nutrition 37 mins – "One hundred and sixty five million children in low- and middle-income countries never reach their full developmental, educational, and economic potential as a result of exposure to poverty, malnutrition, poor health, and unstimulating home environments. Interventions that promote good nutrition make a difference: studies show nutritional interventions can improve both growth and child development. Psychosocial-stimulation interventions can also improve child development. Integrating nutritional interventions into child-development programs could thus be an effective way to promote both, but there is little information on integrated interventions. On April 3–4, 2013, researchers from around the world met at the New York Academy of Sciences for Every Child's Potential: Integrating Nutrition, Health, and Psychosocial Interventions to Promote Early Childhood Development, a conference presented by the Sackler Institute for Nutrition Science in partnership with the Global Child Development Group.

 Childrens' Teeth Problems 59 mins - "There is a serious hidden epidemic just now being discovered by the public health community.

Those symptoms indicate a building medical emergency that lies in the collection of serious diseases connected mouth breathing and disturbed sleep — a collection that includes heart disease, cancer, ADHD, depression, schizophrenia, suicide, asthma and perhaps Alzheimer's disease. Disturbed sleep is an extremely serious stressor of the human mind and body; among other things, it tends to depress the immune system, making an individual much more vulnerable to a wide variety of diseases, and modifications of the brain that are manifest in many ways only partially understood. Add to this the large contributions of sleep deprivation to highway accidents, medical mistakes and poor performance at work and in school, and it's easy to see how important this unrecognized public health emergency is.

The military regime dissolved the congress, took control of the media and went about dismantling the socialist and democratic institutions that Allende's government had built. In the midst of this takeover, the military discovered a strange room in a nondescript office building in downtown Santiago. The room was hexagonal in shape with seven white fiberglass chairs arranged in an inward facing circle. This "operations room" (or: opsroom) was the physical interface for a complex system called Cybersyn.

 Chilling Effect 66 mins - "Chilling Effects: The Expected Public-Charge Rule and Its Impact on Immigrant Families The audio from this webinar highlights findings from a Migration Policy Institute report examining the potential impacts of expected changes to the public charge rule by the Trump administration. Leaked draft versions indicate that the rule could allow the administration to make changes to the legal immigration system, in part by making it more difficult for legally present noncitizens to acquire a green card or visa if they or their family members have used public benefits. The rule likely would discourage millions from accessing health, nutrition, and social services for which they or their U.S.-citizen dependents are eligible."

China - Panels I, II, III 84m, 85m, 69 mins - "As China's newly appointed politburo begins the transition to political leadership, they will confront a host of critical policy issues, few of which are easy to resolve. The development of China's legal system is arguably the most consequential issue confronting China's new leaders, and the direction of future legal reforms will have deep reverberations in matters of human rights, sociopolitical stability, the transformation of the political system, and prospects of the country's economic growth. On November 28, the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings hosted the launch of In the Name of Justice: Striving for the Rule of Law in China (Brookings Press, 2012), a new book by Professor He Weifang, one of China's most influential legal thinkers. The discussion brought together prominent American legal scholars to present a critical assessment of the development of China's legal system and concluded with a discussion between U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Stephen G. Breyer and John L. Thornton, chairman of the Board of Trustees of Brookings, on the significance of the ongoing search for constitutionalism in China."

During that time, Asia will surpass the combined strength of North America and Europe in economic might, population size, and military spending. India and China will have vetoes over many international decisions, from climate change to global trade, human rights, and business standards. From her front row view of this colossal shift, first at the State Department and now as an advisor to American business leaders, Anja Manuel will take us on an intimate tour of the corridors of power in Delhi and Beijing. We wring our hands about China, Manuel writes, while we underestimate India, which will be the most important country outside the West to shape China's rise. Manuel shows us that a different path is possible: We can bring China and India along as partners rather than alienating one or both, and thus extend our own leadership in the world."

 China and Taiwan 90 mins - "During much of the 2000s, tensions between Taiwan and China roiled the stability of East Asia. Each side feared the intentions of the other and acted on those fears, creating a vicious circle of political mistrust and military build-up. The United States was drawn in because Beijing and Taipei each urged Washington to take its side against the other. Some strategists believed that Taiwan was the only issue that might spark a U.S.-China war. Over the last five years, the relationship between China and Taiwan has changed for the better, with cooperation replacing confrontation, and the danger of war declining. However, future momentum will likely slow, and China has not abandoned its goal of unifying with Taiwan on its terms. Will it be content to continue its current, incremental approach? What will happen if it doesn't? What can Taiwan, China and the United States do to ensure that the current stability will continue?"

China Gender Bias 54 mins- "From business to literature to politics, there is a huge pool of female expertise on China. But you wouldn't know it if you examined the names of people who are quoted in the media and invited to China-themed panel discussions: They are mostly men.

 China in Africa 88 mins - "Throughout the 2000s, Chinese demand for primary goods like oil, iron, copper, and zinc helped Africa reduce poverty more than it had in decades. Even so, China's total investment in the continent's natural resources has been smaller than many imagine, and, with growth shifting away from manufacturing and toward consumption, China's appetite for raw materials will continue to diminish. China's shifting economic growth model aligns with sub-Saharan Africa's imminent labor force boom, presenting a significant opportunity for both sides. Maximizing mutual gain will depend on China and Africa cooperating to address a host of challenges: Can African countries limit the flow of Chinese migrants and foster domestic industries? Will Chinese investors adopt global norms of social and environmental responsibility? Where does the West fit in? On July 13, 2016, the John L.

 China Investing in U.S. 66 mins \- "Some pundits and politicians imply that investments from China are somehow not aboveboard and are detrimental to the U.S. economy. Even though Wanxiang America has been investing in and acquiring U.S. companies since 1994, most of the American public has likely never heard of the company. Much of Wanxiang's focus is in the automotive components sector, and their annual revenue has topped $4 billion.

Pin Ni, president of Wanxiang America Corporation, will focus on Wanxiang's operation in America, addressing issues such as net gain or loss of employment in the United States because of investment and, in turn, motivation to invest in the United States. He will also discuss comparative advantages of China versus the United States, since not all of Wanxiang investments have succeeded, and some have involved rescuing failing operations.

China is now the world's largest manufacturer and has the second biggest military. But a leading China expert says the rise of the Middle Kingdom has been greatly exaggerated.

Kaiser and Jeremy recorded this interview with Ambassador Barshefsky at her offices at the law firm WilmerHale in Washington, D.C., where she is the chair of international trade. She recounted stories about the WTO negotiations, and about her relationship with Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji, who was her Chinese counterpart in negotiations (see SupChina's video on Zhu). We asked her how the hopes and expectations behind China's WTO accession look in retrospect, and how she sees China's role in global trade in the second decade of the 21st century.

China Watching 62 mins- "China-watching isn't what it used to be. Not too long ago, the field of international China studies was dominated by a few male Westerners with an encyclopedic knowledge of China, but with surprisingly little experience living in the country and speaking Chinese. Today, China-watching is different: The old "China hands" are still around and remain authoritative, but an increased number of younger travelers in a much more open China, people with specialized academic backgrounds and advanced language skills, and women — see last week's Sinica Podcast on female China expertise — are changing the face of this field. Bill Bishop is among the most recognizable China-watchers in the business. His long-running Sinocism newsletter is an essential resource for serious followers of China policy, and he is regularly quoted in a variety of major news outlets reporting on China. Kaiser and Bill sat down at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., on April 6 to record this podcast and discuss how China-watching has changed over the years.

But the exploitation of China's water resources has come at a great cost, forcing millions from their homes, polluting natural lakes and rivers and pushing rare animal species to the brink of extinction.

 China's Economy 200 mins - "In recent years, China has increasingly confronted new challenges in economic policy, including rising labor costs, low household consumption, rapid urbanization and inefficient domestic investment. While it is now widely acknowledged in Beijing that major structural adjustments are needed to address these issues, implementing serious reforms pose major challenges for the newly installed leadership. On April 16, the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings and China's Caixin Media Group hosted a conference to examine the daunting challenges confronting China's new leaders. The morning panels featured a discussion of the financial sector as well as the relationship between the domestic agenda for financial reform and China's evolving strategy for outbound investment. The afternoon panels took a close look at the political obstacles to implementing major economic reform in areas such as tax policy, the household registration system and land transfers, as well as explore the impact of environmental and natural resource constraints on China's economic growth."

 China's One Child Policy 27 mins \- "Now that China has ended its One Child policy, one group of state employees may soon be out of a job – the country's hated population police. Hundreds of thousands of officers used to hunt down families suspected of violating the country's draconian rules on child bearing, handing out crippling fines, confiscating property and sometimes forcing women to have abortions. But with an eye on improving child welfare in the countryside, there is a plan to redeploy many of these officers as child development specialists. Lucy Ash visits a pilot project in Shaanxi Province training former enforcers to offer advice and support to rural grandparents who are left rearing children while the parents migrate to jobs in the big cities. If successful, the scheme could be rolled out nationwide to redeploy an army of family planning workers and transform the life prospects of millions of rural children."

And a revolution, he reminds me with heavy irony, quoting Chairman Mao, is not a dinner party. It's an insurrection, an act of violence. The market revolution, he's saying, is more like than unlike the notorious upheavals that preceded it: the war of "liberation" that brought the Communist Party to power in 1949; Mao's Great Leap Forward in the 50s, a headlong rush to industrialize that ended in famine and death for 20-million or more; then the know-nothing Cultural Revolution of the 60s into the 70s. The problem with all the endless revolutions is that they've been run by political monopolies. They're invariably violent, mobilized by propaganda, not participation.

 Chinatown San Francisco 24 mins \- "For Americans, the sight of pagoda roofs and dragon gates means that you are in Chinatown. Whether in San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas, the chinoiserie look is distinctive. But for those just arriving from China, the Chinatown aesthetic can feel surprisingly foreign. San Francisco's Chinatown originally looked quite a lot like the rest of the city: brick homes with Victorian Italianate facades. Chinese immigrants banded together in the area not for any love of its architecture, but out of political, social and economic necessity. Then, in 1906, a devastating earthquake and the resulting fires leveled much of San Francisco. Residents of Chinatown were largely unaided by their neighbors during and after the disaster. The fire department, for instance, focused available resources on the wealthy residents of nearby Nob Hill, dynamiting buildings in Chinatown in an (unsuccessful) attempt to stop the flames from spreading...."

As growth slows, corporate earnings decline, and lending tightens for small and medium-sized businesses, the leverage ratios of China's government and its corporations and households all have increased in recent years. How desperate is China's debt situation, and what can be done to avert a major crisis? On July 11, the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings hosted Ning Zhu, deputy dean and professor of finance at the Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance, Shanghai Jiaotong University.

 Chinese Single Women Issues 66 mins - "Forty years ago, China enacted the one-child policy, only recently relaxed. Among many other unintended consequences, it resulted in both an enormous gender imbalance — with a predicted 20 million more men than women of marriage age by 2020 — and China's first generations of only-daughters. Given the resources normally reserved for boys, these girls were pushed to study, excel in college and succeed in careers, as if they were sons. Now living in an economic powerhouse, enough of these women have decided to postpone marriage — or not marry at all — to spawn a label: "leftovers." Unprecedentedly well-educated and goal-oriented, they struggle to find partners in a society where gender roles have not evolved as vigorously as society itself, and where new professional opportunities have made women less willing to compromise their careers or concede to marriage for the sake of being wed. Further complicating their search for a mate, the vast majority of China's single men reside in and are tied to the rural areas where they were raised. This makes them geographically, economically and educationally incompatible with city-dwelling "leftovers," who also face difficulty in partnering with urban men, given the urban men's general preference for more dutiful, domesticated wives. Part critique of China's paternalistic ideals, part playful portrait of the romantic travails of China's trailblazing women and their well-meaning parents who are anxious to see their daughters snuggled into traditional wedlock, Roseann Lake's focuses on the lives of four individual women against a backdrop of colorful anecdotes, hundreds of interviews and rigorous historical and demographic research to show how these "leftovers" are the linchpin to China's future."

The vaccine has been administered successfully in pilot trials in a number of locations where cholera is endemic and, in 2012, during epidemics in Haiti and Guinea. The WHO recently agreed to establish a vaccine stockpile for emergency use to encourage greater production at lower cost.

Today, more than 20 million Americans take a statin drug like Lipitor or Zocor. Many of these people have high cholesterol but no sign of heart disease. There is growing evidence that statins provide little or no benefit for healthy patients and can trigger dangerous side effects. And new studies question whether there really is any link between cholesterol levels and heart disease. Diane and a panel of guests discuss the latest cholesterol research and what it means for heart disease prevention."

Cholesterol History 4 mins "Next time your doctor tells you to get a cholesterol test, stir up some trouble. Ask who ordered it. There are probably a few answers to that question, but here's mine: the order came from a doctor — of oceanography!— turned physiologist named Ancel Keys. It was Keys who first studied the correlation between diet and heart disease in large ethnic populations. He came to a conclusion that we now take for granted. High levels of serum cholesterol are a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and more important, we influence that number every day by what we eat. It's not quite so simple, though. We now know about "good" cholesterol, HDL, and we know that even so-called "bad" cholesterol, LDL, comes in two different sizes, one of which is relatively benign. Genes and lifestyle complicate matters further. But Keys' work, which he began in the 1950s, was groundbreaking."

He says America likes to tell itself that it inhabits a post-racial world, but nearly every empirical measure—wealth, unemployment, incarceration, school segregation—reveals that racial inequality hasn't improved since 1968. Hayes contends that our country has fractured in two: the colony and the nation. In the nation, we venerate the law. In the colony, we obsess over order, fear trumps civil rights, and aggressive policing resembles occupation.

Chronic Pain 44 mins (2 parts) - "...a two part series on caring for patients with chronic pain. Pearls: With few exceptions, opiate therapy should be reserved for the short-term treatment of acute somatic pain due to tissue injury. Patients with acute pain should be informed early on that once tissue healing starts, opiates will be discontinued and the goal of therapy will be to improve function. The goal is not a painless life. Opiates are an unfavorable option for those with chronic pain. Patients who cannot tolerate chronic pain may choose maladaptive substances, such as alcohol or tobacco, as a means of "chemical coping."...Set realistic expectations when treating patients with chronic pain. For the vast majority of patients, antidepressants are the first-line pharmacologic choice for the treatment of chronic pain. Patients who present after the acute phase of a painful condition, whether it's 1 week or 2 years from the injury, are treated the same.

 Citizen Scientists 52 mins - "Scientists make up only a tiny percentage of the U.S. labor force. And they're continually in need of funding for their research projects. But the Internet has created opportunities for non-scientists to participate in and contribute to scientific research. This is happening in many fields, most prominently in astronomy, ornithology and ecology. These volunteer researchers are called citizen scientists. And they're helping real scientists achieve things they could not do on their own. For this month's Environmental Outlook, we look at the growing importance of citizen scientists."

 City Archeology 32 mins - "In 2014, the United Nations estimated that 54% of the world's population lives in urban areas, a figure expected to increase to 66% by 2050. But life for _Homo sapiens_ wasn't always like this. Rewind 200,000 years and our early human ancestors were fully or semi-nomadic hunter-gatherers, often living in small communities. But what happened between then and now? Why did humans choose to move to villages and then cities? And what has this dramatic change in lifestyle done to our health and our relationships with others? This week, Ian Sample is joined in the studio by Brenna Hassett, bioarchaeologist and author of Built on Bones: 15,000 Years of Urban Life and Death, to explore the shift our ancestors took from hunter gatherers to city-dwellers, and the clues they left behind."

Barnes emphasizes the need for these new systems to be smart and interconnected in order for analysis and large-scale efficiency to occur...These major concepts include health service sectors, electrical grids, and water and sewage lines. Barnes advocates for massive amounts of data collection relating to these systems in order to better organize water distribution and efficiency, power usage, and how to contain and minimize disease outbreaks...Though Barnes's primary idea in this presentation is the need for smarter cities with reproducible infrastructures for a smarter planet, his underlying idea stresses the need for analytics and the application of collected data...

There was a silent film made of the voyage that shows the architects on the deck in short-sleeved white shirts and sunglasses. The cruise was the setting for the International Congress of Modern Architecture, commonly known by its French acronym, CIAM.Ville Radieuse plan by Le Corbusier The subject of this particular congress was city-planning. The members of CIAM thought that cities were too congested, noisy, polluted and chaotic. And they believed some of these problems could be solved by separating out the functions of a city into distinct zones for housing, working, recreation, and traffic. Zoning wasn't a new idea, but the architects from CIAM wanted to take it farther. The living spaces would be in high-rise apartments so that the ground-level was open for recreation and collective spaces— live in the sky, play on the ground. Cars would even drive on elevated roads so that pedestrians could have the space below all to themselves. There would also be separate districts for industry and shopping.

 Civil War 53 mins - "150 years ago, the Battle of Gettysburg – the bloodiest of the Civil War – was about to be fought. Thousands would lose their lives in that battle, northerners and southerners, joining the hundreds of thousands who had already laid down their lives in the course of the war. But why were so many prepared to take up arms in the first place? When most southerners were not slaveholders, and most northerners were not abolitionists, how had a war infused with the question of slavery even begun? In this second part of our special series on the Civil War, the Guys and their guests examine the inner conflicts and mixed motivations of most Americans, as they contemplated war against each other."

This time on BackStory, the Guys dwell on that moment and explore the uncertainty of 1865. Would the rebellion resurge? Would Southern leaders be hung for treason? Would freed men and women enjoy full citizenship?... How would a nation torn asunder ever rebuild?"

Civilization Key Traits 60 mins - "Niall Ferguson is the most brilliant British historian of his generation. In this talk from February 2011, based on his book 'Civilisation: The West and the Rest', he asks how Western civilization came to dominate the rest of the world. His answer is that the West developed six "killer applications" that the Rest lacked: competition, science, democracy, medicine, consumerism and the Protestant work ethic. The key question today is whether or not the West has lost its monopoly on these six things. If it has and the Rest of the world can successfully download these apps, we may be living through the end of Western ascendancy." is the preeminent historian of the ideas that define our time. He has challenged how we think about money, power, civilisation and empires. Now he wants to reimagine history itself. On October 4th, Ferguson came to the Intelligence Squared stage to unveil his new book, 'The Square and The Tower'. Historians have always focused on hierarchies, he argued – on the elites that wield power. Economists have concentrated on the marketplace – on the economic forces that shape change. These twin structures are symbolised for Ferguson by Siena's market square, and its civic tower looming above. But beneath both square and tower runs something more deeply significant: the hidden networks of relationships, ideas and influence. Networks are the key to history. The greatest innovators have been 'superhubs' of connections. The most powerful states, empires and companies have been those with the most densely networked structures. And the most transformative ideas – from the printing presses that launched the Reformation to the Freemasonry that inspired the American Revolution – have gone viral precisely because of the networks within which they spread. 'When we understand these core insights of network science,' says Ferguson, 'the entire history of mankind looks quite different.'"

 Clean Water Act 51 mins - "Major rivers — like the Mississippi — are protected under the clean water act of 1972. But it's been unclear if smaller wetlands and streams that feed into major rivers and lakes are also safeguarded. The Obama administration is seeking to clear up that confusion. Last month, it announced a rule that would clarify the number of smaller waterways protected by federal law. The Environmental Protection Agency says this will ensure safe drinking water for a third of Americans. But farmers and developers say it violates their property rights.

Climate and Angkor Demise (first item) 27 mins - "Angkor, in what is now modern Cambodia, was the capital city of the Khmer Empire. It flourished from approximately the 9th to 15th centuries. Angkor was a megacity supporting at least a million people (0.1% of the global population) during 1010–1220. The city houses the magnificent temple Angkor Wat, one of Cambodia's popular tourist attractions. The city established a vast network of canals, embankments, moats and reservoirs to capture, store and distribute surface water resources. It was very extensive, covering up to 1200sq kilometres. The city foundered during the 15th Century and was largely, but not completely, abandoned by 1431. Did monsoon-driven flooding weaken the infrastructure of water management in the city and contribute to its demise? (Then) Antimicrobials in Livestock Feed - Global pharmaceutical companies are selling antibiotics as performance enhancers and artificial fatteners to livestock farmers in India. This unnecessary use of antibiotics has been made illegal in the US and Europe, as it is thought to increase the risk of antibiotic resistance. The practice is not illegal in India, but with the subcontinent suffering from the highest incidence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) it is something the whole world needs to worry about. (Then) Facing Hurricane Michael -Hurricane expert professor James Elsner, at Florida State University, has studied tropical cyclones for most of his career.

He lives in Tallahassee in Florida and has just faced Hurricane Michael – is this the first time the expert has been face to face with a Category Five storm? (Then) Refuting Claims for Earliest Life - Two years ago, a paper was published in the journal Nature, stating that the earliest evidence of life on Earth had been discovered in rocks from Greenland's Supercrustal Belt in Isua. Stromatolites - fossils of conical structures created by bacterial action were thought to have been identified in rocks that were at least 3.8 billion years old. However this week, also in the journal Nature, is a study refuting these claims and describing the conical structures as mere folds in the metamorphic rock."

President Trump has begun to roll back Obama-era policies that sought to reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, but so far the United States remains a party to the agreement. On April 19, the newly-launched Cross-Brookings Initiative on Energy and Climate hosted a panel discussion on the role of carbon pricing in the implementation of the Paris goals, with opening remarks from Lord Nicholas Stern of the London School of Economics and Professor Joseph Stiglitz of Columbia University, the co-chairs the High-Level Commission on Carbon Prices. They shared their thoughts on carbon pricing and other policies to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement, including the objective to hold "the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels."

Both evolution and global warming are "controversial issues" in the public sphere, but are not controversial in the world of science. There is some overlap between the two issues, but far more people are climate change deniers than evolution deniers. What is interesting to skeptics, however, is the similarity in the techniques that are used by both camps to promote their views. The scientific issues are presented as "not being settled," or that there is considerable debate among scientists over the validity of claims."

Climate and Food Production (first item) 27 mins - "With the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change announcing that we need to keep global warming under 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels, Science in Action explores the impact of food production on the environment. A new study calculates the current and predicted impact of land and fresh water use, fertiliser pollution and the change to more Western meat and dairy-based diets by 2050 and concluded that our current mitigation measures are not going to be enough. And that our planet will not be able to sustain this level of environmental cost. (Then) Windfarms and Warming - A study of wind power generation across the continental United States calculates that the warming effect of wind turbines, due to possible circulatory changes in the atmosphere at night, could be enough to cause a 0.24 °C rise if the US switched to wind power for all their energy demands. It's a small change, but coupled with other environmental impacts of sustainable energy production, it has to be factored in. (Then) Science Publishing and Copyright -Two scientific publishers are suing the academic networking site ResearchGate for breaking copyright laws. ResearchGate asks scientists to publish papers and articles on their site. The claim is that they are not putting enough checks in place to stop work that is copyrighted to pay-walled science journals being uploaded. Is social media, and greater connectivity on the internet, changing the way science publishing works and how profits are made? (Then) Drugs from Fingerprints - Illegal drug-use often has a contributing factor in cause of death. Testing for drug-use in both living and dead people relies on detecting the breakdown products (metabolites) for drugs such as cannabis, cocaine, opiates or amphetamines in bodily fluids (blood, urine, saliva) or tissue samples. These are invasive and take time. Now a University of East Anglia spin out company "Intelligent Fingerprinting" have developed a device called the fingerprint drug screening cartridge that can detect metabolites of illicit drugs in the sweat found in fingerprints. And furthermore they can do this on dead bodies as well as living people." At the link you can listen, but not download; however, a copy is included in the blog archive.

Climate Change 30 mins - "We've just endured a really tough winter but records suggest that Spring is on average beginning much earlier. Lindsey Chapman investigates how shifting seasons are affecting our wildlife. Bumblebees in January, daffodils blooming early, 'thuggish-vegetation' thriving as a result of mild winters and damp summers: the seasons appear to be blurring and wildlife is becoming confused. The overall impact is 'quite staggering' according to Matthew Oates, butterfly expert from the National Trust. In this week's Costing The Earth, Lindsey Chapman meets Matthew as he takes stock of our shifting seasons.

Judith is at the leading edge of the movement that recognizes the importance of soil— for issues as close to home as our nutrition and as vast and global as climate change—as well as the potentially positive role of cows in that equation. Could it be that the answers to some of our most challenging global problems involve neither advanced technologies nor the lion's share of our national treasuries, but the humble layer of soil beneath our feet? In Cows Save the Planet, Schwartz responds with an informed and enthusiastic "yes." The problem, however, is that we're losing topsoil somewhere between ten—in the United States—and forty—in China and India—times faster than we're regenerating it.

Both evolution and global warming are "controversial issues" in the public sphere, but are not controversial in the world of science. There is some overlap between the two issues, but far more people are climate change deniers than evolution deniers. What is interesting to skeptics, however, is the similarity in the techniques that are used by both camps to promote their views. The scientific issues are presented as "not being settled," or that there is considerable debate among scientists over the validity of claims. Evolution and global warming opponents also demonize the opposition by accusing them of fraud or other wrong-doing. Denialists in both camps practice "anomaly mongering," in which a small detail seemingly incompatible with either evolution or global warming is considered to undermine either evolution or climate science. Although in both cases, reputable, established science is under attack for ideological reasons, the underlying ideology differs: for creationism, the ideology of course is religious; for global warming, the ideology is political and/or economic."

 Climate Change Efforts 12 mins - "...Recent articles in Vox, the Guardian, and the Outline have warned that individuals "going green" in daily life won't make enough of a difference to be worth the effort. In fact, they argue, such efforts could actually make matters worse, as focusing on individual actions might distract people from pressuring corporations and government officials to lower greenhouse gas emissions and enact the broader policy change we need to meet our climate goals. These articles and others like them tend to conclude that the only truly meaningful action people can take to influence our climate future is to vote. Voting is crucial, but this perspective misses a large point of individual actions. We don't recommend taking personal actions like limiting plane rides, eating less meat, or investing in solar energy because all of these small tweaks will build up to enough carbon savings (though it could help). We do so because people taking action in their personal lives is actually one of the best ways to get to a society that implements the policy-level change that is truly needed. Research on social behavior suggests lifestyle change can build momentum for systemic change. Humans are social animals, and we use social cues to recognize emergencies. People don't spring into action just because they see smoke; they spring into action because they see others rushing in with water.

 Climate Change Impact 58 mins - "Since 1995, the world has experienced twenty of the hottest years on record. The wildfires raging across western states are expected to burn more acreage than last year's devastating fires. Hurricanes like Sandy, Harvey, Irma and Maria have caused enormous destruction. And less conspicuously but just as ominous, carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have been creeping up. How does such environmental disaster affect human health? CO2 and Food Crops: You might imagine that plants exposed to extra carbon dioxide would grow more quickly, perhaps providing extra food for an increasing human population. But did you know that a number of food crops have lower levels of crucial nutrients like zinc, iron, protein and certain B vitamins when they grow under conditions of enriched CO2 in their atmosphere? How will this alter the nutritional status of the populations that depend on these crops? Infectious Diseases and Their Vectors: As climate patterns change, arthropods like ticks and mosquitoes move around and adapt. A number of these blood-sucking critters carry dangerous diseases like Zika virus, dengue fever, chikungunya, Lyme disease or Powassan virus. Will warmer winter temperatures allow them to spread into new territory? Will the diseases go with them? What about malaria? It was once a serious public health menace for the eastern seaboard of the United States. Will it make a comeback?

 Climate Change in Alaska 6 mins - "Alaska has warmed more than twice as fast as rest of the country — winters in Anchorage are 6 degrees warmer than they were 70 years ago. And that's impacting life there in many ways, from commerce to recreation to the city's ability to take in climate migrants. Consider commerce. The Port of Anchorage is a lifeline for Alaska. "Ninety percent of all inbound cargo coming into Alaska comes via marine vessel; about half of that cargo comes through the Port of Anchorage," says Jim Jager, the port's spokesperson. The port has a big problem: Its steel pilings are crumbling, being eaten away by microbes. "Our challenge is getting the docks replaced before they rust away," says Jager, who estimates that the port has about 10 years to fix the problem. The port is spending $700 million on the project, with funding coming from a range of sources. The problem isn't being caused by climate change, but warming temperatures are making things trickier. Alaska's warming weather means nearby glaciers are retreating fast. Those glaciers don't just hold water frozen in place; they hold rocks, sand and dirt. "In a traditional Alaskan winter, all of that sedimentation is kind of frozen in place, and what comes down off the glaciers is minimized," says the port's director, Steve Ribuffo. But the warmer things get, the more silt flows down into the port. And that can mean more time and money devoted to dredging. Then, there's the threat from rising sea levels."

 Climate Change Priorities 7 mins - "Climate change is a ubiquitous hydra, a many-headed beast that affects everyone and everything in some form. Solutions to climate change range from the effective and the practical to the potentially catastrophically dangerous—but, in this somewhat heated debate, a potent weapon in our arsenal is falling by the wayside: the empowerment of women....Last year a coalition of scientists, economists, policymakers, researchers, and business people published Project Drawdown, a compendium of ways to prevent carbon dioxide from escaping skywards. Drawing from a plethora of peer-reviewed research, the document ranks 80 practical, mitigating measures—along with 20 near-future concepts—that could push back the oncoming storm. Ranked in order of carbon emissions locked down by 2050, the usual suspects made the list. A moderate expansion of solar farms (number 8), onshore wind turbines (number 2), and nuclear power (number 20) would all save tens of billions of tons of equivalent carbon dioxide emissions. Increasing the number of people on plant-rich diets (number 4) and using electric vehicles (number 26) are effective carbon-cutting measures often proposed by climate hawks, and rightly so. The top spot went to managing refrigerants like HFCs, which are incredibly effective at trapping heat within our atmosphere. But two lesser-known solutions also made this most practical of lists: the education of girls (number 6) and family planning (number 7). This is a stunning revelation, one that couldn't be more pertinent, and yet, for the most part, discussions of mitigation and de-carbonization focus heavily on other matters, from the perceived perils and bona fide benefits of nuclear power, to just how quickly solar power is proliferating...."

Muller says while average temperatures are rising one third of US cities have undergone cooling in the last 100 years. He also contends that scientists who claim that human fingerprints can be found on extreme weather events are "cherry picking" evidence. Despite those differences, he agrees with IPCC scientists that climate disruption "is urgent and we need to do something about it."

Flooding in India and Pakistan in September killed more than 600 people and resulted in economic losses of more than $18 billion. Super Typhoon Rammasum, which hit the Philippines, China and Vietnam in July caused more than 200 deaths and losses of $6.5 billion. And, closer to home, in August, rainfall and flooding in Detroit, Baltimore and Long Island damaged homes and cities leading to economic losses of about $2 billion. At the same time, the United Nations Weather Agency states that 2014 was the warmest year on record. So, the question is: Are these natural disasters related to the warming climate? And are natural disasters becoming more costly because of climate change? These are questions that Roger Pielke Jr., an environmental sciences professor at the University of Colorado, addresses in his new book "The Rightful Place of Science: Disasters and Climate Change."

Outdoor workers and poor people are especially at risk from severe heat, mosquitoes and illnesses that thrive in warmer conditions. Already, the atmosphere has warmed about one degree celsius from pre-industrial times. That doesn't sound like much, but one degree can have a big impact on the planet and people. And we are on a path to temperature increases of at least two degrees.

Now global effects mean cold fronts are passing further south, some missing the continent altogether. The water table is falling by half a metre a year. If the trend continues, there are predictions of a 17% drop in agricultural production in future decades.

In his new book, Bruce Gibney, a venture investor in PayPal, Facebook, Spotify, SpaceX and other tech companies, writes that boomers are a generation of sociopaths who betrayed America. According to Gibney, most climate deniers are aging boomers who won't live to see the worst consequences of climate change. Therefore, they won't pay to address these challenges. At the same time, some boomers feel guilty about the climate changes they are responsible for and are now striving for redemption. These boomers are attempting to use their wealth and knowledge to engage younger people in climate solutions. The conversation is a difficult one though, especially considering that many young people today know they are inheriting a darker future than the one their parents did. Join us for an intergenerational discussion about what you can do to make an impact—and how to persuade the climate doubters in your life."

 Climate Legislation 52 mins - "In a speech Monday, President Barack Obama said that "no challenge poses a greater threat to our future" than climate change. To help address that threat, he announced new federal rules limiting carbon emissions from U.S. power plants. Some critics charge these rules should be stronger given the risks ahead; many others say these rules represent a federal overreach, pose an enormous burden on U.S. coal companies and will mean higher prices for consumers. We look at efforts to cut carbon emissions and America's role in the international effort to confront the challenges of climate change."

The latest conservative pundit to be hired by the New York Times has progressives and environmentalists concerned. Bret Stephens, a Pulitzer Prize winning "opinion journalist" from the Wall Street Journal made his first splash onto the op-ed page of the Times recently with a controversial piece entitled Climate of Complete Certainty. In this editorial he asserts that climate science should continue to be debated, despite a preponderance of credible evidence sounding the alarm for immediate action. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with two PhDs with differing responses to Mr. Stephens's perspective and place at the Grey Lady. First, we're joined by Joe Romm, the founding editor of Climate Progress, who is critical of the new hire. Then, we hear from psychologist Pamela Paresky who thinks that his hiring by the NY Times could actually be a catalyst for productive dialogue that might ultimately bring conservatives over to recognizing the threat of climate change."

What's the use of all that energy we generate if you can't power a simple fan to cool down?Well, it's not that simple. And we're seeing that play out in Pakistan right now. The country is being blasted by a heat wave, with temperatures well over 110 degrees Fahrenheit. And the supply of electricity is inconsistent in Pakistan.That's a deadly combination. Hundreds have died. "It's been a challenging four days or so," says Karachi-based writer and journalist Bina Shah. "I'm still a lot more fortunate than many people in the city who have just been suffering." The heat hit her hometown hard. Water supplies are pumped with electricity. The power's been out. So, at times, there's no water. It's been particularly difficult for the blue collar workers. They're forced to go out into the intense heat. Plus, it's Ramadan.

The city of North Vancouver in Canada is launching a new program to encourage drivers to think about being more energy-efficient when they drive — and that fossil fuels contribute to climate change. The city council heard about the plan during a presentation last summer by teenage climate change activist Emily Kelsall. At 18, she's already a seasoned climate change campaigner and public speaker. She learned about an effort by the climate activist organization Our Horizon to get warning labels on gas pumps. Kelsall contacted Our Horizon founder Robert Shirkey. Shirkey worked with the teenager to help her make a compelling case to the mayor and city council. "She really got our interest, so we did some investigation and found out that, yes indeed, we do have the ability to do that," says Darrell Mussatto, mayor of North Vancouver... The new gas pump labels will appear in Kelsall's small Vancouver suburb in the coming weeks. Since North Vancouver adopted the idea, other Canadian cities have passed resolutions in favor of similar labels.

And despite coal's low market price in 2016, solar PV is on its way to becoming the cheapest source for electricity. Global investment in renewable energy is now higher than in fossil fuels. Some countries understand the urgency to reduce the amount of coal burnt for electricity. China has a policy to shift away from coal and has begun an energy transition. The nation has plans to reduce coal in its energy mix to 60% by 2020 and then reduce further. China's wind capacity alone is already 100GW. Australia's total generating capacity is 60GW.

Coal vs Coral 30 mins - "The rapid decline of the Great Barrier Reef is one of the environmental crises of the decade. But who is to blame? Environmental activists have accused successive Australian governments of underestimating the threats to the reef from agriculture and the shipping industry but their focus is now on a coal mine. India's Adani corporation has government support for the development of one of the world's largest new mines at Carmichael, inland from the Great Barrier Reef. Construction would increase shipping traffic around the reef but the real concern is the extra carbon dioxide that the burning of millions of tonnes of coal would send into the atmosphere. This could increase the speed of climate change and lead to yet warmer waters around Australia, potentially killing even more of the coral of the Great Barrier Reef. Marine biologist and film-maker, Ellen Husain meets both sides of the debate to find out if new jobs from the mine could outweigh the damage to the reef and the jobs that reef tourism supports."

The amygdala processes more than fear (and other negative stimuli) and the Thalamus is more than a mere relay station. This a fairly technical discussion but Pessoa did a good job of making the material accessible to all listeners. The reason I think these concepts matter is that not only do they challenge overly simplistic notions of how the brain works, but they also challenge our tendency to see emotion and cognition as separate and often opposing processes."

Collaboration 11 mins - "Listen Up! Day 5: Yes, And... ! Friday, November 20, 2015 12:00 AM It's day five of Only Human's Listen Up! bootcamp week. You've made it to our final challenge, which ties together everything you've learned from this past week. If you're here for the first time, you can catch up on our previous challenges here. The Challenge: First have a conversation where every response starts with "No." Then, have another conversation and start every response with "Yes, but." Finally, have a "Yes, and" conversation. When you're in a situation where you have to collaborate with other people, it's easy to get stuck in a sludge of unproductivity. We all have ideas, suggestions, and strong opinions--and everyone wants the opportunity to voice their own. But the way we respond to the ideas of others — down to the very words we choose — can make all the difference. So we're borrowing an exercise from the world of improv comedy, "Yes, And... ," which is used to keep conversation flowing. Instead of shutting down the other person's ideas with "no" or "but," you build upon them... We'd love to know if this leads to any great or ridiculous conversations! We might include them in our next podcast. Tweet us @onlyhuman or leave us a voicemail at (803) 820-WNYC." At the link find the title, "Listen Up!

His school had no idea when they'd offer the classes he needed again; they didn't really make it seem like they cared either. Instead of waiting around, though, Jay started taking stock of his options - and found out about tons of opportunities for testing out of classes. By utilizing these opportunities, he finished his entire senior year in a single semester, and he saved thousands in the process.

The vote has been explained as the triumph of bitterness over common sense, but it could also be seen as a failure of media messaging. Bob talks to Alex Fattal, Assistant Professor in the Department of Film-Video and Media Studies at Penn State University, about the role that media has played in Colombia's armed conflict. Fattal is also author of the forthcoming book _Guerrilla Marketing: Capitalism and Counterinsurgency in Colombia_ , from University of Chicago Press.

Or have they? Turns out these "phantom clown" sightings have been happening in waves for decades, and they tell us a lot about our own fears.

 Combat Telemedicine 46 mins - "Telemedicine is a crucial capability that must be planned and practiced. The base of knowledge that a SOF medic's knowledge encompasses includes many areas of medicine but generally lacks the depth and experience of specialists available to consult. This depth of knowledge is almost universally available when making a simple telephone call to any number of docs willing to take a call at all times of the day and night. Don't let pride or hubris prevent you from seeking advice from someone more experienced than you in taking care of critically injured, complex patients. Telemedical consult is one of the most important core capabilities in a prolonged field care situation. BOTH the medic making the call as well as the Provider receiving the call must practice and rehearse a telemedical consult placed from a field environment. The medic will gain confidence and be able to relay vital information efficiently in a timely manner. The provider on the other end will have to anticipate problems that the medic may not have thought of and help create a prioritized treatment care plan from incomplete information. Trust must be built prior to an actual call being made under stressful conditions; trust in the receiving physician and, more importantly, trust in the process. Medics may be apprehensive in calling a complete stranger if they haven't made a test call or even better, a face to face meeting. If you build the rapport before the crisis, this won't be an issue. You may even have the time to prep a draft email who you are and your equipment, training level and usually a region where you will be if you think it will be pertinent."

During the summer before college, we built a website for a local client and made money hand over fist. And by that, I mean we made $350 for around 100 hours of work. Woot, $3.50 an hour! Despite our incredibly low-balled quote, the project was a great learning experience, and I used what I learned to take on bigger projects when I was in college.

In addition to lawyers, those in the medical, architecture, financial, and other fields have begun to notice a shift in the provision of professional services. Richard got together with his son, Daniel Susskind, at the time working in justice policy, education policy, and health policy for the British Prime Minister, to examine how technology is increasingly playing a fundamental role in how all service-based professions work. They recently published a book on the subject called "The Future of the Professions." In this episode of The Digital Edge, Sharon Nelson and Jim Calloway interview Richard and Daniel Susskind about their new book and key topics within that might interest lawyers who wish to prepare for the future. They discuss a "grand bargain" concept of exclusivity, the capability of machines to replace cognitive, physical/manual, and emotional skills currently provided by human professionals, and the right questions to ask about the future of legal services.

 Computers Replace People 46 mins - "Frankly, the answer is probably. Nearly half of all working Americans could risk losing their jobs because of technology. It's not only blue-collar jobs at stake. Millions of educated knowledge workers—writers, paralegals, assistants, medical technicians—are threatened by accelerating advances in artificial intelligence. mart computers are demonstrating they are capable of making better decisions than humans. Brilliant technologies can now decide, learn, predict, and even comprehend much faster and more accurately than the human brain, and their progress is accelerating. Where will this leave lawyers, nurses, teachers, and editors? This week we speak with Tom Davenport as we discuss these issues and his new book, Only Humans Need Apply: Winners and Losers in the Age of Smart Machines. You will hear how Tom actually reframes the conversation about automation, arguing that the future of increased productivity and business success isn't either human or machine. It's both. The key is augmentation, utilizing technology to help humans work better, smarter, and faster. Instead of viewing these machines as competitive interlopers, we can see them as partners and collaborators in creative problem solving as we move into the next era. The choice is ours."

Still, she says, it's been a National Rifle Association priority. **Robert Spitzer** , a professor at SUNY Cortland, says the bill is part of a broader effort by gun rights activists and manufacturers to "normalize" gun ownership as demographic change works against them (most gun owners are older). "This is one step to try to make the idea of having guns, getting guns, carrying guns to be sort of a normal or a more normal thing," Spitzer tells us. **John Lott** , a gun rights proponent, says people who carry guns are by and large even more law-abiding than police officers themselves, and says that if staffers of a congressman shot at a softball game had been able to carry weapons in Virginia, the situation would have been over even sooner. And finally, Major **Sabrina Tapp-Harper** of the Baltimore City Sheriff's Office tells us that she doesn't support this proposal: "I believe concealed carry reciprocity would make it harder for law enforcement officers to do their jobs."

 Concrete Canoes 4 mins "...Competing canoes, built from concrete, have been a staple in civil engineering schools since the 1970s. That exercise serves many functions. Perhaps the most obvious is revealing how engineers produce the unexpected. Beyond that, those fifty students had learned so much about: composite materials, computer aided structural design and stress analysis, fluid dynamics, esthetics, athletics, project management, and fundamental self confidence. Concrete canoes are not nearly as bizarre as they might sound. This one was made from layers of a special concrete that's just a tad denser than water. The layers are laid on a polystyrene frame with a layer of wire mesh in the middle. The concrete is further reinforced with a scattering of thin steel staples. The result is a long, graceful, five-person canoe. Its walls are half-an-inch thick, and a couple of small Styrofoam plugs are molded in the bow and stern to keep it from sinking, should it be swamped."

Research and innovation have led to radical changes in concrete and its applications, particularly over the past 30 years. These changes have made it possible to use concrete for the tallest buildings in the world, buildings that, only a few decades ago, would have been built of steel. In this first in a series of three podcasts we examine the science of concrete to understand the material itself, and how research has changed its properties to facilitate important new uses for concrete, particularly for megastructures.

Concussion Injuries 42 mins- " ...Concussions are a hot topic these days, specifically due to the recent findings of the impact of head injuries on professional football players. However, many don't realize that concussions and other traumatic brain injuries (TBI's) affect many people and can have a lifelong effect on ones health. In fact, the recent surge in combat veterans incurring TBI's during combat has led to a lot of new research and a much better understanding of exactly what is going on during and after suffering a head injury. This week on the show we interview Dr. Mary Lee Esty, president of the Brain Wellness and Biofeedback Center of Washington and author of the new book, Conquering Concussion: Healing TBI Symptoms With Neurofeedback and Without Drugs. Dr. Esty is a social worker with a doctorate in health psychology. She is a recognized Senior Fellow in Biofeedback and EEG Biofeedback with the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance. She also has published peer-reviewed research on traumatic brain injury starting with an NIH-funded study published in 2001 in The Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, and a 2012 study with Iraq/Afghanistan veterans with TBI and PTSD in The Journal of Neuropsychiatry & Clinical Neurosciences. Over the past 19 years Dr. Esty has treated more than 2,000 clients with a wide variety of conditions. Current research includes a study with the military medical school evaluating the efficacy of Neurofeedback on TBI and PTSD. "A concussion depends upon acceleration and sudden deceleration. When this happens the brain gets tossed around in the skull, because it floats." - What we learn in this episode: What occupation is the most likely to incur a traumatic brain injury (and it's not sports!)

Concussion Test and Sit Ups 27 mins - "American doctors say they're just five years away from a pitch-side blood test to spot concussion – which is an injury caused by a bang to the head or a sudden, strong jolt to the brain. It's a hot topic at the moment as experts debate when sportspeople should and shouldn't be allowed back onto the pitch after a head injury. At the moment doctors still have to rely on looking out for symptoms such as vomiting, blurred vision, loss of balance or disorientation when considering a diagnosis of concussion. But researchers at the Orlando Regional Medical Centre in Florida have detected two substances which are released into the blood stream after a brain injury. Through this finding they hope to develop a simple blood test – a bit like those used by diabetics to test their glucose levels. Emergency physician Dr Linda Papa says that type of test could be just five years away and could help to decide whether to scan a patient's brain. ...The sit up – which has long been a mainstay of military and leisure exercise programmes – is having a makeover. Stuart McGill is a professor of spine biomechanics at the University of Waterloo in Canada. He's recently written the book, the Back Mechanic, and has been researching the impact of sit ups on the spine for many years. He says that the 'standard' sit up – where the hands are placed behind the head and the lower spine is 'pushed' into the floor – puts the back under a lot of strain. This increases the risk of injury and potential back pain – and those with thicker spines like rugby players being particularly at risk. Professor McGill suggests instead that the hands should be placed, palm-down, under the lower back, and bending just one leg – keeping the other straight. Only then should the head be lifted up, by a tiny amount.... " At the link find the title, "Concussion Test," right-click "Media files p03rngfw.mp3" and select "Save Link As" from the pop-up menu.

 Confessing Sins 55 mins - "' _Can a society which has not...come to terms with its own past go on to have a successful future, or do the sins of the past somehow...come back to haunt it and reexpress themselves in some mutant form?'_ This is a question that the seasoned historian and scholar of China, Orville Schell, has been thinking and publishing academic articles about in recent years, and is now writing a book on. Schell has stated that "nowhere is history more relevant to the future than in China, a nation that has for millennia seen its destiny inextricably connected to the dynastic record of what has preceded." On the one hand, the idea that a psycho-reconciliation with the past is necessary for a country is a very Western, and a very Freudian, concept. But partly, that's because it seems to have worked in the West — if Germany had not recognized its own past atrocities, could it have amicably dealt with its neighbors and become a leader in today's Europe? But the Chinese Communist Party's official position is that no reconciliation is necessary. A Party communiqué called Document No. 9, which was leaked in 2013, made clear that certain historical events and ideas were strictly off limits, and that discussing them publicly was nothing but "historical nihilism." That is not to say that there haven't been attempts in China — by intellectuals, activists, and even the government, particularly in the 1980s leading up to 1989 — to critically analyze the past to avoid similar mistakes in the future. But the status of historical inquiry in China today is bleak, and Schell has a lot to say about what that may mean for the country's future."

 Congo 76 mins \- "Over the last decade, the United States and much of the world has reengaged with the government and the people of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in the hope of promoting security and development. This support has included military training and reform, diplomatic engagement to increase regional stability, and millions in foreign assistance. Despite these efforts, the DRC continues to face serious political, security and development challenges. The tense elections of 2011 were followed by violence and chaos. The recent attacks by M23 rebels have destabilized the eastern region and the ongoing humanitarian crisis has been marked by rampant violence against women.

But my memory of the news only goes back about two decades, to when I started paying attention. The cycle of violence is a funny thing. It has its own momentum.

Why is the country in a seemingly unending state of war between marauding rebel groups and marauding government soldiers, the people's lives torn to shreds in between?

We will not be able to imagine neuroscience going back to a time when we did not have the connectome, but it will not give us all the answers."

By understanding how insects, plants, and vertebrates are inter-related, we can better understand consciousness. The type of consciousness we are talking about today is Primary Consciousness (Basic Sensory Consciousness). The feeling of something that it's like to be! Being aware of stimuli and objects in the environment but without any processing or judging of the stimuli. The hard problem comes into play with subjectivity. In his book "The Ancient Origins of Consciousness: How the Brain Creates Experience", Jon and Todd Feinberg explore sensory consciousness and how the brain uses subjectivity to create experience. We discuss the 4 subdivisions of subjectivity and their impact on solving the hard problem. Qualia, Unity (central stage of consciousness), Mental Causation (how subjectivity can effect larger events), and Referral (sensory input that is referred to the outside world; it places sensations everywhere except in the brain) are components of primary consciousness that have to be explored to solve the hard problem.

Consciousness 60 mins - "In his latest book ___Consciousness and the Social Brain_ Princeton neuroscientist Michael Graziano proposes a unique and compelling theory of consciousness. He proposes that the same circuits that the human brain uses to attribute awareness to others are used to model self-awareness. He emphasizes that his attention schema theory is only tentative, but it is testable and it does fit our current knowledge of brain function. In a recent interview for the _Brain Science Podcast_ (BSP 108), Graziano used the following clinical example to clarify his approach. A colleague had a patient who was convinced that he had a squirrel in his head. When confronted with the illogic of his claim the patient replied "Not everything can be explained by science." In this example it is clear that the squirrel doesn't really exist, so the question to be answered is HOW did his brain reach the conclusion that it does. While imagining one has a squirrel in one's head is thankfully rare, we also know that our subjective experiences of the world are not necessarily accurate. Our perception of the world is shaped by how our brain processes the sensory inputs it receives. For example, we perceive white light as an absence of color even though in reality it consists of all wavelengths."

 Conservation Dogs 5 mins - "The Ol Pejeta Conservancy is East Africa's largest black rhino sanctuary. And it's a regular target for poachers. So the rangers at Ol Pejeta are always looking for ways to get an upper hand on the poachers. Their latest weapon? Anti-poaching dogs. Dogs are not a new concept in Africa in the war against poaching, but the use of multi-role dogs is new."They search, and they can track and they can attack," said ex-British Army Veterinary Corps Military Dog Instructor Daryll Pleasants. Pleasants voluteered to train dogs to protect animals from poachers in Ol Pejeta. Rhino poaching can be a lucrative business, so the stakes are high. Rhino horn can sell for up to $30,000 a pound — more than gold or even cocaine. "What these dogs will do is they will search for a carcass or associated items and bring the anti-poaching team in on the carcass. From the point of the carcass, they will then track after the intruders or the poachers and then, should they need to, can apprehend the intruder as well," Pleasants added."

 Conservation Efforts&utm_content=FeedBurner) 30 mins - "There's more than one way to support ecological conservation. Today on Sea Change Radio we talk with two individuals working on different fronts for the same cause. First, host Alex Wise speaks with Dr. Paul Salaman, the CEO of the Rainforest Trust, an international conservation organization. They talk about the organization's efforts to defend fragile ecosystems, the technologies they use to monitor the species they protect, and their methods for engaging indigenous peoples, governments, and private companies to set aside land and ensure the preservation of vulnerable species. Then we hear from Shilpi Chhotray, an ocean advocate for Mission Blue who's also the founder of Samudra Skin & Sea, a line of sustainable beauty products. If Chhotray's name sounds familiar it may be because she was a Sea Change Radio guest in 2014, talking about the role of women in the burgeoning seaweed industry in India. That work in India inspired Chhotray to create a company that offers an alternative to conventional beauty products. Samudra Skin & Sea helps protect the ocean by crafting creams that use sustainably harvested seaweed, avoiding plastic throughout its supply chain, and partnering with ocean advocacy organizations to support a shared mission of ocean conservation."

Conservatism 45 mins - "...Sir Roger Scruton, a formally trained political philosopher, talks about his life and the events he's witnessed that led him to conservatism. He first embraced conservatism after witnessing the leftist student protests in France in May 1968. During the ensuing riots in Paris, more than three hundred people were injured. Scruton walked away from this event with a change in worldview and a strong leaning toward conservatism... Sir Roger examines a brief history of conservatism in the twentieth century of England in regard to Margaret Thatcher and Winston Churchill. Although he appreciates what Margaret Thatcher stood for, he argues that she had many conservative ideals but never used the conservative framework to organize her overall political strategy. Instead she organized around market economics, which was not always effective in the social, cultural, and legal areas. Peter Robinson argues that Winston Churchill did a much better job of organizing around conservative ideals but eventually lost an election because he didn't have the vocabulary or the focus on free markets. They discuss the tenuous relationship between free markets and conservative ideals that have not mixed well together in British politics. Robinson and Sir Roger discuss the 2016 political upset of Brexit in the United Kingdom and how the political analysts failed to predict the vote outcome, much like what happened in November 2016 in the United States. They deliberate how the issues around immigration from Eastern Europe to the United Kingdom contributed to Brexit, in addition to general dissatisfaction with the European Union. Thus, in the cases of both the United Kingdom and the United States, the media and intellectuals ignored the will of the "indigenous working classes" who made their voices known through their votes....."

Frank says liberals like to believe that if only Democrats can continue to dominate national elections, if only those awful Republicans are beaten into submission, then the country will be on the right course. But he says this view fundamentally misunderstands the modern Democratic Party. Frank says that the Democrats have in fact done little to advance traditional liberal goals: expanding opportunity, fighting for social justice, and ensuring that workers get a fair deal. Indeed, he argues that Democrats have occupied the White House for 16 of the last 24 years, and yet the decline of the middle class has only accelerated, Wall Street gets its bailouts, wages keep falling, and the free-trade deals keep coming. In this critical election year, Frank recalls the Democrats back to their historic goals—what he says is the only way to reverse the ever-deepening rift between the rich and the poor in America.

Born in modern day Serbia and proclaimed Emperor by his army in York in 306AD, Constantine became the first Roman Emperor to profess Christianity. He legalised Christianity and its followers achieved privileges that became lost to traditional religions, leading to the steady Christianisation of the Empire. He built a new palace in Byzantium, renaming it Constantinople, as part of the decentralisation of the Empire, an Eastern shift that saw Roman power endure another thousand years there, long after the collapse of the empire in the West" At the link right-click "Download" and select "Save Link As" from the pop-up menu.

Have you heard of a campaign to pressure banks financing the Dakota Access Pipeline opposed by Native Americans? We didn't think so.

Just as quickly, back it went to get another. Good crane operators make the round trip in a little over a minute and a half; less efficient operators take an extra thirty seconds. It's a huge difference in a business that's all about keeping cargo ships _moving_. Container ports are a fascinating exercise in engineering. The basic activities are simple enough. But the sheer number of containers is a challenge. Imagine thousands upon thousands of containers moving every which way as ships, trucks, and trains are loaded and unloaded.

Cool Universe 39 mins - "The Cool Universe is the name astronomers give to the matter between the stars. These great clouds of dust and gas are not hot enough to be detected by optical telescopes. But over the last few decades, they have increasingly become the focus of infrared telescopy. Astronomers had long encountered dark, apparently starless patches in the night sky. When they discovered that these were actually areas obscured by dust, they found a way to see through these vexing barriers, using infrared telescopes, to the light beyond. However, more recently, the dust itself has become a source of fascination. The picture now being revealed by infrared astronomy is of a universe that is dynamic. In this dynamic universe, matter is recycled - and so the dust and gas of the Cool Universe play a vital role. They are the material from which the stars are created, and into which they finally disintegrate, enriching the reservoir of cool matter from which new stars will eventually be formed. As a result of the new research, we are now beginning to see first-hand the way our planet was formed when the solar system was born. With: Carolin Crawford Member of the Institute of Astronomy, and Fellow of Emmanuel College, at the University of Cambridge; Paul Murdin Visiting Professor of Astronomy at Liverpool; John Moores University's Astronomy Research Institute; Michael Rowan-Robinson Professor of Astrophysics at Imperial College, London.

 Copyright and Creativity 13 mins \- "George Lucas built a whole new industry with Star Wars." says Peter S. Menell, devoted science fiction fan and a professor at the UC Berkeley School of Law, who studies copyright and intellectual property law. "But what funds that remarkable company is their ways of using copyright." And he's right. A third of the profits LucasFilm pulls in from Star Wars has come from merchandising alone. Not ticket sales, not DVDs, not video games or books. Toys, clothes, and weird tie-ins like tauntaun sleeping bags and wookie hair conditioner. But fans of Star Wars, and other stratospherically profitable creative universes, increasingly like to become creators within those universes. They write books, they make costumes, they direct spinoffs and upload them to YouTube. And sometimes they make money. How does law come into play when fans start to reinterpret intellectual property?

 Copyright Conundrum 24 mins - "Publishing today confronts a paradox: The digital revolution has transformed the act of copying from complicated to commonplace; yet authors and publishers must rely upon copyright – essentially, control over copy-making and distribution of their works – as the essential basis for conducting business. An industry built upon creativity, inspiration and innovation now stands accused of holding to outmoded models purely for survival's sake. Is there any way out of the "copyright conundrum?"

 Copyright Fair Use&utm_content=FeedBurner) 10 mins - "The US Congress writes the copyright laws of the land, and the interpretation is left to the courts. "Fair use" is a potential defense where copyright infringement is charged, and a judge must measure four explicit factors when assessing possible harm. Fair use gets a fair amount of attention in the Digital Age, and this week is no exception. "In her 220-page remand decision in Cambridge University Press v. Patton (known as the GSU e-reserves case), Judge Orinda Evans found that 41 of 48 alleged infringements considered at trial—and reconsidered on remand—were protected by fair use, and for a second time, she declared GSU the prevailing party in the case, reports Andrew Albanese, Publishers Weekly senior writer. Meanwhile, a shorthanded US Supreme Court may have signaled its own interest in another longstanding case where "fair use" is the defense – the so-called "Google Books" case...."

 Copyright Future 25 mins - "As was evident everywhere at the recent Frankfurt Book Fair, publishing today depends on technology, and technology is pressing copyright in ways never imagined in the days of printing presses. Copyright holders in the digital age are under challenge across the globe, not only from wide-ranging infringement, but also from so-called "reform." In a panel discussion for The Markets Conference, a day-long event highlighting important national markets for publishing around the world, participants pondered over the future of copyright – and even more importantly, whether copyright has a future.

Copyright Office 14 mins - "...published reports announced the removal of **Maria Pallante** from her duties as the US Register of Copyrights, a role she had held since 2011. Subsequent reporting offers insights on what prompted the surprise move, and what it portends for the future of copyright policy in the United States. Just a year ago, Pallante had called on Congress to move the Copyright Office from under the control of the Librarian of Congress. Her removal, however, came shortly after the arrival of the new Librarian of Congress, **Carla Hayden**. As **Andrew Albanese** , _Publishers Weekly_ senior writer, tells **CCC's Chris Kenneally** , the story has impact well beyond the Beltway. "Copyright today is no longer about the entertainment industry. With the rise of social media, it touches people in a way that, historically, it never did," Albanese explains. Given the heightened interest, many – and from all sides of the issue – have called for Congress to "reform" copyright. "Sources tell me not to expect that. In fact, copyright is yet another area where Congress is fairly gridlocked," Albanese says. "You may see nibbles around the edges, but not wholesale reform, and that feels right to me."

 Copyright Problems&utm_content=FeedBurner) 26 mins - "Making copyright fit for purpose for the digital world is a popular undertaking for governments– though almost never so for publishers. So-called "reforms" are often little more than thinly-veiled attacks on the fundamental principles of intellectual property and the livelihoods of publishers and authors. Notions of balance seem to have vanished as the scales tip further away from rightsholders. At the 2018 Frankfurt Book Fair, Michael Healy, Executive Director, International Relations, spoke with Michiel Kolman, President of the International Publishers Association and Senior Vice President for Information Industry Relations, Elsevier. According to Kolman, the critical connection to make for legislators and the public alike is that intellectual property rights make up the foundation of value in publishing. "I would say overall in the copyright discussion, it [should be] linked to a much broader discussion, and that's the value of publishing. If the value of publishing is more broadly appreciated and recognized, the copyright discussions are easier. And I think that is an area where we [as publishers] should all invest in," Kolman explained. "Whether you're a trade publisher or a literary publisher or an educational publisher or a science publisher, if the products that we deliver – our books and articles and databases – don't have that appreciated value, then the copyright discussions are much more complicated," he told CCC's Healy."

Some marine ecologists fear more than 12,000 square kilometres of coral may be lost. Coral bleaching, a reaction to very warm sea water, was unknown prior to the industrial revolution. This is now the third global bleaching. It is partly the result of El Nino, the change in ocean currents which brings warmer currents. But it is also a clear sign we are experiencing a warming planet. It is thought more than 40% of reefs have been lost globally in recent decades. The Caribbean has lost more than 80% of its coral reefs." At the link right-click "Download" and select "Save Link As" from the pop-up men.

It was the last pitched naval battle before aircraft became a dominant naval force, and historians have been arguing about which side won ever since. While the British ruled the waves at the end of the day, the Germans inflicted three times as many casualties.

 Cork Uses 3 mins – "Cork bark has many uses — it's also used in shoes and floors. But cork farmers make the bulk of their money selling wine stoppers.

"The risk is that if we keep losing market share, there is the risk some of these private landowners, they will change from planting cork oak trees to more intensive agriculture. Or even, they can think to change these forests into urban areas," Ferriera said. By law, Portuguese cork farmers can't actually do that: cork trees are protected. But trees don't last forever. The cork farmers aren't obligated to re-plant cork. And grove owners also aren't obligated to strip their trees, which prolongs a cork tree's life. Cork growers who aren't making money can also plant more profitable trees in their groves, which could crowd out the cork..."

Of those large corporations whose financial statements reported a profit, 19.5 percent paid no federal income tax that year. Reasons why even profitable corporations may have paid no federal tax in a given year include the use of tax deductions for losses carried forward from prior years and tax incentives, such as depreciation allowances that are more generous in the federal tax code than those allowed for financial accounting purposes.

Cowpox, which Jenner used to vaccine people, kills only one percent. They then discuss a new pediatric vaccine in phase III trial that combines six vaccines into one shot. The combination vaccine will help protect from diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough (Bordetella pertussis), polio (polio virus types 1, 2, and 3), invasive disease caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b, and hepatitis B. The group discusses issues with combining vaccines. For instance, in this case none of them are live. The download site also has links to other topics, such as a plant-produced virus made by the  Biodesign  Institute, and the original Jenner paper.

Muscle Cramps Strike at Sea: Neurobiologists Rod McKinnon (a Nobel Prize winner) and Bruce Bean were kayaking miles off Cape Cod when they were struck with muscle cramps. Neither of them was dehydrated or depleted of electrolytes. So why did cramps strike at such an inopportune time? Once they got back to land, the pair started investigating the hypotheses of why muscle cramps happen and what can be done to reverse them. Dr. Bean explains on the show how they came up with an alternate hypothesis. Their exploration led them to test a remedy they came up with that they call Hotshot.

Meanwhile, as cranberry sauce was relegated to Thanksgiving, cranberry juice became a popular drink—and mixer. But why is the juice so widely believed to combat urinary tract infections, and does science support that claim? Join us this episode for all that, plus a tour of the cranberry bog of the future."

While scientists have shared access to networked archives since the 1970s, open access, as we understand it today, has only recently become a force remaking scholarly publishing. For publishers and societies, the OA movement is a direct challenge to longstanding business models of paid subscriptions. So-called article processing charges, however, have emerged as one leading way for publishers to recover the costs of publishing.

Creative Destruction of Medicine 34 mins - Eric Topol, author of The Creative Destruction of Medicine: How the Digital Revolution Will Create Better Healthcare, discusses how medicine is being changed. The digital world has hardly pierced the medical cocoon. Until now. We can already continuously monitor our heart rhythm, blood glucose levels, and brain waves while we sleep. Miniature ultrasound imaging devices are replacing the icon of medicine—the stethoscope. For the first time we can capture all the relevant data from each individual to enable precision therapy, prevent major side effects of medications, and ultimately to prevent many diseases from ever occurring. Many of these digital medical innovations lie unused because of the medical community's profound resistance to change. Topol, one of the nation's top physicians and a leading voice on the digital revolution in medicine, argues that medicine must undergo its biggest shakeup in history.

Creative Focus Workshops 62 mins - "On an earlier episode of this show the Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk said something that I've never forgotten.

To be the captains of their own creative ships across the rough daily waters of fluctuating emotions and energies. This kind of self-management, he suggested, is what makes the difference between people who keep producing art and those who don't. My guest today is Jessica Abel. She's an accomplished artist herself—a graphic novelist who did a kind of graphic docu-novel called OUT ON THE WIRE about how some of the greatest radio shows and podcasts are made, including Snap Judgment, Radiolab, and This American Life. In the course of figuring out how to steer her own creative ship she's learned invaluable lessons about how to help others do the same.

It all started with Reyn Guyer – an inventor who believed that some of the greatest toys and games in history break a rule. Guyer broke the "don't invade my personal space" rule with a game called King Footsie, where players stood on a mat and had to move like chess pieces. But nobody wanted to play – or buy – King Footsie. Undeterred, Guyer hired two experienced designers, Neil Rabens and Chuck Foley, to figure out a way to make it. One day, Rabens had an idea. If people can use their feet as the pieces, why not use the whole person? Feet, hands – everything. That's where Chuck Foley came in. He took Raben's breakthrough, and added a twist – literally...."

Creativity 15 mins - "What comes to mind when you hear the word "creativity"? A painter toiling away at a canvas into the wee hours of the morning?

What about that final project you have due for your Intro to Anthropology class? I don't know about you, but if you'd asked me a couple years ago if creativity had anything to do with course work, I probably would have said something like, "Well, sure, but only if you have a creative major like art, creative writing, music, drama, or dance." What I've realized lately, however, is that my assumptions were all wrong. Creativity absolutely has a place in your studies, no matter what your major is. To excel at college-level work, you have to think creatively. That's why in today's post I'm going to break down what exactly creativity is, how you can practice it, and how you can apply it to your studies."

 Creativity 22 mins - "...how (or if) humans can discover our greatest creative potential. Someone might be a brilliant novelist if they could find the time to write. In the right societal context and presented with good opportunities, a given person might change the course of modern dance, or unlock mysteries of particle physics, or become a great general. Today, there are thousands of self-help books, websites, counselors and consultants all promising to help people find their creative essence. These resources claim to offer insights about successful, effective and creative people and about how we can apply them in our own lives. Still, back in the middle of the 20th Century this idea that someone could even study or learn about something as elusive as creativity was as far-fetched as the pearly gates tale. At the time, creativity was seen as nebulous and unconscious, perhaps not accessible at all to scientific inquiry. Then, in the early 1950s, the Institute of Personality Assessment and Research (IPAR) at the University of California, Berkeley began developing new and different ways to analyze personalities. The scientists at IPAR attempted what many thought was impossible: to study creativity in a methodical and scientific way, working to determine what specific personality traits make certain people creative. IPAR invited creative people of all kinds to come to Berkeley and be studied, from authors of fantasy novels to research scientists and female mathematicians. They attracted literary stars including Truman Capote and William Carlos Williams. One of their biggest and most successful studies, however, involved an array of famous architects...."

In conversation with Sarah Montague, he argues that modern teaching is a product of industrialisation, putting children through a factory model that prepares them for working life. But if we truly value innovation and creativity, why isn't it taught? For the programme, Sir Ken returns to the former Margaret Beavan Special School in Liverpool, where he spent his primary school years in the 1950s, after contracting polio at four years old. He's since advised governments and businesses around the world on how to harness creativity, and believes if schools were radically different, giving creative subjects equal status, children would find their true talents."

But how our creative imagination became so crucial to our existence remains a mystery with plenty of competing theories put forward. What ideas have scientists come up with? And with something as complex as creativity, how do we even define it, let alone study it in the lab? To explore all this and more, Ian Sample speaks with the University of Notre Dame's professor of anthropology, Agustín Fuentes, who, in a new book 'The Creative Spark', highlights the role creativity may have played in our ancestor's ability to collaborate within early societies. Importantly though, this wasn't always for the greater good with the likes of violence and warfare coming from the very same trait.

Even if the system operated exactly as it was designed to, we might still end up with wrongful convictions, trampled rights, and unequal treatment. He says this is because the roots of injustice lie not inside the dark hearts of racist police officers or dishonest prosecutors, but within the minds of each and every one of us. Benforado shines a light on this troubling new field of research, looking at evidence suggesting that people with certain facial features receive longer sentences and that judges are far more likely to grant parole first thing in the morning.

The recent push for criminal justice reform has proven to be a rare point of bipartisan cooperation: Leaders on both sides of the aisle have agreed it's time to tackle America's bloated prison system in the U.S. and to amend sentencing laws. But the way forward is less clear; many people say new proposals don't go far enough. We look at different plans for criminal justice reform.."

All of the marvelous gadgets we've invented are not only thoroughly reinventing us, but they are also doing it in ways in which we have no idea of their full impact. In short, we are undergoing a transformation that affects every aspect of our being—our brains, bodies, institutions and the entire world. Ian Mitroff, currently developing ideas for an upcoming book, will discuss these topics and more. According to Mitroff, we cannot continue to dump the latest technologies on the world without doing a better job of forecasting their negative and positive aspects; we need to do everything we can to mitigate potential negative impacts in order to avoid an immense backlash against technology. Mitroff is a professor emeritus at the University of Southern California where he was the Harold Quinton distinguished professor of business policy at the Marshall School of Business and the Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. ...He is generally regarded as one of the principal founders of the crisis management field.

He studies, among other things, what has set the American economy apart from places like Italy. And he's worried.

Crowd Psychology 48 mins - "This episode's guest, Michael Bond, is the author of The Power of Others, and reading his book I was surprised to learn that despite several decades of research into crowd psychology, the answers to most questions concerning crowds can still be traced back to a book printed in 1895. Gustave's Le Bon's book, "The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind," explains that humans in large groups are dangerous, that people spontaneously de-evolve into subhuman beasts who are easily swayed and prone to violence. That viewpoint has informed the policies and tactics of governments and police forces for more than a century, and like many prescientific musings, much of it is wrong. Listen in this episode as Bond explains that the more research the social sciences conduct, the less the idea of a mindless, animalistic mob seems to be true. He also explains what police forces and governments should be doing instead of launching tear gas canisters from behind riot shields which actually creates the situation they are trying to prevent.

The better the predictions, the better the recommendations Netflix could make. The solution came in the form of Cinematch, an algorithm developed by a team at Netflix. The problem was that they weren't sure if there was a better algorithm. After all, there were limitless ways to predict rankings. Had the team chosen the best? So Netflix took an innovative step. The company posted an online challenge asking the world if someone could better the Cinematch predictions by ten percent. A prize of one million dollars would go to the first team, if any, that could achieve this goal. The company posted historical data online and waited for responses. Netflix had struck a chord. The idea of posting a challenge was so creative it quickly caught on, with other companies posting their own challenges. Soon, websites emerged for the sole purpose of hosting these challenges...."

Cryo Electron Microscopy 39 mins - "Richard grew up in a remote village in the Scottish borders exploring the countryside and reading the weekly bundles of comics sent by his great aunt, as part of a care package for his family. When he started work at the Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, a string of Nobel Prizes had been awarded for x-ray crystallography, a technique that had revealed the double helix structure of DNA, and the atomic structure of haemoglobin, vitamin B12 and insulin. But Richard decided to experiment with a radical new approach, using electrons not x-rays. After an early success in 1975, he spent the next 15 years trying to improve the resolution of electron crystallography and, in 1990, he managed to see in astonishing atomic detail how individual atoms were arranged within a particular biological molecule. Next, however, he decided that the future of microscopy lay in different direction and,despite the initial results being very blurry, he embraced a more direct approach to microscopy that involved flash freezing molecules to catch them, mid-movement, as they existed in nature. Undeterred by a steady stream of technical problems, Richard spent the next 17 years refining this new approach to microscopy convinced that it should outperform all the others and, in 2012, he was proved right. Cryo electron microscopy now enables us to see how the individual atoms are arranged within biological molecules that were previously opaque. We are seeing atomic structures that have never been seen before and, since these are the molecules that make life possible, knowing what they look like is worth millions to pharmaceutical companies trying to design drugs to activate or inhibit their action.

 Cryptocurrency in Venezuela 6 mins - "People are fascinated by cryptocurrency. It's not hard to see the appeal — you could make millions. And that's what Venezuela seems to be counting on. This week, Venezuela launched the petro, the world's first government-backed cryptocurrency. President Nicolás Maduro hopes it will help fix the country's dire financial situation by sidestepping US sanctions and providing an alternative to cash, which is nearly worthless in Venezuela due to the soaring inflation rate. The petro is backed by some of the country's massive oil reserves in an effort to give it some credibility. "It's been something that Maduro says to point at the riches of the country, and to give investors some certainty that they may be paid back if they do invest in the petro," says Patricia Laya, Bloomberg's Venezuela bureau chief. But financial institutions are likely to be wary, she says. Venezuela's already in default on some of its bonds and inflation is reaching quadruple digits. Venezuelans themselves, however, are ready to give it a chance. The petro has been mentioned all over TV and social media, and the government has been working hard to educate its citizens about cryptocurrency. "Venezuela has become a crypto-nation, out of nowhere, in just a matter of months," says Laya. Maduro sees the petro as "the silver bullet, the solution to his problems," she says. He claims the government attracted $735 million in presales from foreign investors on the day it was launched. The petro will be available to the public for purchase on March 20. But it'll be months before enough data is gathered to know if cryptocurrency can be the silver bullet Venezuela is hoping for."

 Crystallography 28 mins - "Jim al-Khalili talks to Professor Elspeth Garman about a technique that's led to 28 Nobel Prizes in the last century. X- ray crystallography, now celebrating its 100th anniversary, is used to study the internal structure of matter. It may sound rather arcane but it's the reason we now know the structure of hugely important molecules, like penicillin, insulin and DNA. But while other scientists scoop up prizes for cracking chemical structures, Elspeth works away behind the scenes, (more cameraman than Hollywood star), improving the methods and techniques used by everybody working in the field. If only it was as simple as putting a crystal in the machine and printing off the results. Growing a single crystal of an enzyme that gives TB its longevity took Elspeth's team no less than fifteen years. No pressure there then when harvesting that precious commodity."

 Crystallography 42 mins - "Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the history of crystallography, the study of crystals and their structure. The discovery in the early 20th century that X-rays could be diffracted by a crystal revolutionised our knowledge of materials. This crystal technology has touched most people's lives, thanks to the vital role it plays in diverse scientific disciplines - from physics and chemistry, to molecular biology and mineralogy. To date, 28 Nobel Prizes have been awarded to scientists working with X-ray crystallography, an indication of its crucial importance. The history of crystallography began with the work of Johannes Kepler in the 17th century, but perhaps the most crucial leap in understanding came with the work of the father-and-son team the Braggs in 1912. They built on the work of the German physicist Max von Laue who had proved that X-rays are a form of light waves and that it was possible to scatter these rays using a crystal. The Braggs undertook seminal experiments which transformed our perception of crystals and their atomic arrangements, and led to some of the most significant scientific findings of the last century - such as revealing the structure of DNA.

With twelve acres of vegetables and a 200-member CSA in Osceola, Wisconsin, just outside of Minnesota's Twin Cities, Dan and Margaret take a thoughtful approach to how they engage with their CSA membership, the farming community, and their farm's land and production systems. Dan reflects on the CSA movement, and how it has grown and changed since its inception, and the challenges that even CSA farms with a deep focus on community have faced as local and organic produce has become more widely available. We discuss some of the ways that Dan and Margaret have built their CSA on community organizing and shared values in an effort to break out of the marketing paradigm, and how they are working to get even deeper into this heart of the CSA movement now. Dan also digs into how he has built the production system at Common Harvest Farm, including a foray into draft animal production, and the investment strategy that has supported the development of a highly efficient farm, in terms of both labor and energy use."

A FRONTLINE investigation finds serious flaws in some of the best-known tools of forensic science and wide inconsistencies in how forensic evidence is presented in the courtroom. From the sensational murder trial of Casey Anthony and the FBI's botched investigation of the Madrid terrorist bombing to capital cases in rural Mississippi, FRONTLINE documents how a field with few uniform standards and unproven science can undermine the search for justice.

It's estimated that less than five percent of the population in Cuba has any Internet access at all, and the majority have only dial-up connections. Jonathan Watts, writing about Cuba's Internet woes in The Guardian, says only a privileged few have fast connections. And that puts a huge chunk of the Internet technically out of reach. So, Cuba's entrepreneurs have created a so-called "offline Internet." "It's an ingenious way of making up for the lack of broadband cables or Wi-Fi," Watts says. "Instead of using their cable, people are using their feet, hard drives, USB cables and they're literally carrying huge amounts of data from one place to the other and sharing them with each other.'"

But progress made to date has yet to take full advantage of the plethora of competing sources of capital offered by today's more diversified global economy.

"The values European humanists like to espouse belong just as easily to an African or an Asian who takes them up with enthusiasm as to a European," he says.

Culturomics 4 mins - "...a team of researchers from Harvard has recently analyzed this mass of words that spans centuries. In these vast quantities of text they saw glimpses of how our language and culture has changed over time. The richness and variety of their insights are amazing. They tracked how frequently different verbs appear in books and newspapers. Over the last 400 years irregular verbs have become more regular. In 1800 we "chid" unruly children, but in the year 2000 we "chided" them. The more frequently a verb is used, the more it resists such regularization: "spoke" will not turn into "speaked" for a long time. However, the verb "sped" is giving way to "speeded," a change that started around 1920, and is still going on today. Linguists have known of such changes, but the Google data offered detailed insight into this process of transmutation. The Harvard team also tracked how frequently famous people are mentioned in books. They saw that fame reaches a peak about 75 years after a person's birth, and declines thereafter. Today celebrities rise to fame much faster and become more famous than in the past. But they are also forgotten more quickly."

 Curation 14 mins - If you've read IABC's\-- Int'l Assoc of Business Communication -- recent Communications World cover story on content curation, you know the digital age isn't about "information overload," it's about "filter failure."

Paper.li is one which allows the user to create a customized newspaper, one form of curation. Pinterest is another, proposing a pin-board concept.

Pod camps, podcasts-across-boarders, and Storify are other approaches to curation creation which includes how to be a terrific podcast guest. The show notes available as a PDF on this say: Don't write out and read your answers. Don't talk too fast. Get the technology out of the way early: if you need to learn to use Skype, do so well before the interview. Get the gear you need: buy a microphone and headphones, and learn to use them. Remove ambient noise, including pets. Be sure any stories are short. Don't worry about pauses because breaks between questions and answers allow easier editing.

Security flaws in widely used data storage devices - Researchers at Radboud University in the Netherlands have discovered that widely used data storage devices with self-encrypting drives do not provide the expected level of data protection. A malicious expert with direct physical access to widely sold storage devices can bypass existing protection mechanisms and access the data without knowing the user-chosen password.

Cyber Security 62 mins - "We are at war: cyberwar. Cyber attacks are becoming the weapon of choice for states, terrorists and criminal organisations. Through the fragile, interconnected structure of the web, anything can be hacked – from national infrastructure to an individual's identity.

The nightmare scenario of an entire city's physical infrastructure being brought down by cybercriminals is well within the realms of possibility. As tensions escalate, will they explode into traditional military conflict? Or – almost as frightening – will countries wall off their internets to protect themselves, bringing the dream of an global, open worldwide web to an end? To discuss this pressing topic, Intelligence Squared brought together a panel of the world's top intelligence professionals and cyber experts: Jeh Johnson, former Homeland Security Secretary under President Obama, who led the agency during Russia's cyber attack on the 2016 election and Jamie Bartlett, renowned digital technology expert and author who presented the recent BBC series "Secrets of Silicon Valley", and Angela Sasse, a cyber security expert with a special interest in how humans interact with technology.

And in addition to that, our companies, our infrastructure, and our government is under constant attack from cyberterrorism. So what can you do to protect yourself? This week we brought on an expert to help us answer that question. Morgan Wright is an internationally recognized expert on cybersecurity strategy, cyber terrorism, identity theft and privacy. His landmark testimony before Congress on Healthcare.gov changed how the government collected personally identifiable information.

 Cystic Fibrosis Drugs 29 mins - "Until 2012, if you had a rare genetic disorder, there didn't seem to be much hope for a cure. The science just wasn't there, and creating drugs for small populations made little financial sense for big pharma. The story of one cystic fibrosis drug is proof: not only is treating the root cause of a rare genetic disorder possible; it can be _profitable_. But the way this new drug was made is causing a stir among some of the very scientists and doctors who helped to create it. This week: what happens when a charity dips its toe into the risky world of venture capitalism to speed the search for a cure — and the result is a drug with a list price of about $300,000 a year? Scientist Paul Quinton, 72, who discovered the root problem in cystic fibrosis patients, called the price tag "unconscionable." He is one of 28 doctors and scientists who wrote a letter to the pharmaceutical company pushing back on the price tag. He said he's in a difficult position. "I've had friends tell me that they would shake hands with the devil if it meant that we would get a cure for this disease," Quinton said.
