Learning 8

Date of Lecture: Thursday 11 May 2023

About the Lecture:
Complaints at the high cost of ‘childcare’ keep coming - but high cost is just one symptom of a dysfunctional early childhood system in England, spanning services and parenting leave, a system that fails children, parents and society. Successive governments tweak and fiddle, avoiding the hard work of analysing and fixing systemic faults. Based on 50 years research at the Thomas Coram Research Unit (now part of UCL), and on how England and Sweden responded to similar problems with very different results, Peter Moss will offer a diagnosis of the state we find ourselves in today in England - and a possible course of treatment, starting with dropping our national obsession with ‘childcare’.

Farewell to childcare: transforming England’s broken early childhood system

Break the chains of diet culture once and for all.

Diet culture permeates American society—even in our safest of places. It lurks in schools, playground conversations, medical offices, and even in our places of worship. We're often sold well-meaning messages wrapped in Bible verses that are actually rooted in the diet culture born of this world. It's only when you begin to see diet culture's lies that you can fight back, build resilience, and trust your divine design.

Christian dietitian and nutrition therapist Leslie Schilling counsels hundreds of people every year who are struggling with food, body concerns, chronic dieting, and disordered eating. She helps them understand diet-culture myths, fight the lies we've been told (and sold), and discover the truth about health, well-being, and how God sees us.

In Feed Yourself, you'll learn how to:

- Pinpoint the lies of diet culture all around you, even in our places of worship
- Understand that health is far more than what we eat or how we move
- Step away from the shame and guilt you may feel about your body
- Trust your body and recognize the cues your body gives you
- Identify what your body really needs
- Find freedom in food and learn to define health for yourself

It's time to accept that you are fearfully and wonderfully made—a truth unrelated to your body size or what's on your plate. Cheers to freedom!

FEED YOURSELF by Leslie Schilling, RDN | Introduction

The US detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, opened way back in 2002. For the first time since then, the White House has allowed a United Nations independent investigator to visit. Fionnuala Ní Aoláin is a law professor and human rights investigator. She recently spent four days visiting the prison at Guantanamo, and joins The World's Marco Werman to talk about what she saw there.

A year and a half in to her government, many say Xiomara Castro has yet to live up to expectations. But as Honduras’ first female president, those expectations are higher than usual. Much of the criticism against Castro comes from machismo and gender discrimination. She's just one of two female heads of state in a Latin American country as Michael Fox reports from the Honduran capital.

Spanish police are cracking down harder with new powers to suspend — or even cancel — professional soccer matches when fans begin yelling racist slurs at players. Spain is hoping the zero-tolerance approach will lessen these kinds of incidents.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1521. Young Mary Boleyn arrives at court, maid in waiting and favourite to Queen Katherine of Aragon.

Yet Mary catches the eye of the capricious king and – propelled by the ambitions of the powerful Boleyn family – she betrays her queen, and takes her place as Henry VIII’s new mistress.

But while Mary is in childbed, a rival comes to court – her sister Anne, a young woman ruthless in her drive to become queen.

With her own destiny unknown, and the Boleyn enemies gathering, Mary must defy her family – and command her own fate.

With an exclusive afterword written and read by Philippa Gregory, exploring the inspiration behind Mary’s story.
