The Scopes Trial, formally known as The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes and commonly referred to as the Scopes Monkey Trial, was an American legal case in July 1925 in which a substitute high school teacher, John T. Scopes, was accused of violating Tennessee's Butler Act, which had made it unlawful to teach human evolution in any state-funded school.[1]The trial was deliberately staged in order to attract publicity to the small town of Dayton, Tennessee, where it was held. Scopes was unsure whether he had ever actually taught evolution, but he purposely incriminated himself so that the case could have a defendant.[2][3] Our theme song was written and performed by Anna Bosnick.

No Description

Julian Assange has waged a long fight against extradition from the UK to the US, and after years, a final decision is imminent. But when UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Nils Melzer was asked to look into his case in 2018, he found himself surprisingly uninterested. One allegation after another had come to cloud the narrative of Assange, liberator of state secrets. But Melzer has since investigated them all - and he discovered that the level of deception is staggering.In this episode: Nils Melzer, author of \"The Trial of Julian Assange\" (@NilsMelzer)This episode first ran in January 2022 and was updated by Alexandra Locke. The original production team was Alexandra Locke, Amy Walters, Negin Owliaei, Priyanka Tilve, Ruby Zaman, Ney Alvarez, Tom Fenton, Stacey Samuel, and Malika Bilal. Alex Roldan is our sound designer.

In 2000, former President Bill Clinton signed the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act, a landmark piece of legislation later reauthorized by his successors that protect survivors with tools like \"T\" visas and stiff penalties for alleged perpetrators.\"Prior to that, victims were loathe to cooperate, because they would often be shipped back to towns where the traffickers held power and could exact awful reprisals,\" attorney Mitchell Epner, a former federal prosecutor who led intake on sex-trafficking cases in the District of New Jersey in 2003 and 2004, told Law&Crime. \"Traffickers would often threaten girls and women that, if they cooperated with police/prosecutors, they would be killed in hideous fashion after being deported.\"Now of counsel with the firm Rottenberg Lipman Rich PC, Epner drew from his experiences navigating that then-nascent prosecutorial tool to offer insights into the trial of Ghislaine Maxwell. She stands accused of sexually trafficking minors for Jeffrey Epstein and enticed them to travel to perform illegal sex acts.If convicted of all charges, Maxwell, 59, can be imprisoned effectively for the rest of her life.Offering analysis at length in a Zoom interview, Epner told Law&Crime's podcast \"Objections: with Adam Klasfeld\" that the outcome of Maxwell's trial will depend less on the panel's studious parsing of the various exhibits that come into evidence.Instead, Maxwell's fate will hinge upon something more fundamental: whose account the jury believes.Quoting the famed trial lawyer Gerry Spence, Epner said: \"Facts are not persuasive; stories are.\"See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Depression and type 2 diabetes (T2D) share a complex, bidirectional relationship that negatively affects the management and prognosis of both conditions. Despite this, targeted treatment strategies for managing depression in patients with comorbid T2D remain limited. In recent years, large clinical trials investigating the weight-reducing effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have revealed potential additional benefits on mental health. Specifically, GLP-1RAs have demonstrated neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties, as well as possible effects on cognitive function. However, it remains unclear whether GLP-1RAs offer comparative advantages over dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4is) or sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) in improving the course of depression in patients with comorbid T2D. This study aims to investigate the comparative effectiveness of GLP-1RAs in preventing the worsening of depression among patients with comorbid T2D who are undergoing treatment with antidepressant monotherapy, relative to those treated with DPP-4is or SGLT2is.

On today's 'BradCast':  Donald Trump alone makes up half of the four presidential impeachments in US history, a mark of shame that will never be removed. Democratic House Impeachment Managers on Tuesday were forced argue that Trump's historic second impeachment trial is indeed constitutional, countering Republicans' ridiculous, disingenuous claims.  Lead Impeachment manager Jaime Raskin (MD) argued that there is no 'January Exception' to the Constitution's impeachment clause allowing presidents to commit crimes and foment mayhem with impunity during their final weeks in office. House managers aired a riveting, chilling video from January 6, showing Trump repeatedly instructing his supporters to 'fight like hell' during his rally, then directing them to the U.S. Capitol where Congress was certifying President Joe Biden's 2020 Electoral College win, juxtaposed with violent scenes of the insurrectionists attacking the Capitol. The case made by Trump's team of defense attorneys was rambling, disjointed, overtly political and partisan, and did not address the constitutionality of the proceedings, but nonetheless got 44 Republicans senators' votes. Six Republicans voted with Senate Democrats to allow Trump's impeachment trial to proceed. Arguments for the actual charge of 'Incitement of Insurrection' begin on Wednesday. Also today:  A hacker using remote access software was prevented from poisoning a Florida city's water supply, but the incident offers a warning for electronic US election systems:  the US Election Assistance Commission, the federal agency responsible for certifying computer voting and tabulation systems, has quietly weakened new voting system security standards to allow wireless modems on voting machines, against the warnings of cybersecurity and voting systems experts.

1Auf der Galerie

By Franz Kafka

In der Erzählung “Auf der Galerie” beschreibt Franz Kafka in zwei komplett gegensätzlichen Perspektiven die Darbietung einer Künstlerin in der Manege eines Zirkus und das Leiden des Galeriebesuchers durch diesen beiden Darbietungen.

Lärm. Lärm. Lärm. Kaum, dass man sich konzentrieren kann, kaum, dass man ihm entfliehen. Lärm, der allgegenwärtige…

The Metamorphosis (in German, Die Verwandlung, "The Transformation") is a novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915, and arguably the most famous of his works along with the longer works The Trial and The Castle. The story begins with a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, waking to find himself transformed into a giant "monstrous vermin". (Summary from Wikipedia)

4Landarzt. Kleine Erzählungen

By Franz Kafka

Die Erzählung Ein Landarzt von Franz Kafka entstand im Jahr 1917 und wurde 1918 veröffentlicht. Im Jahre 1919 erschien das Buch Ein Landarzt mit der Erzählung gleichen Titels und dreizehn weiteren Prosatexten. Kafka selbst bezeichnete "Ein Landarzt" (die einzelne Erzählung, nicht die Sammlung) als eine der wenigen wirklich gelungenen Erzählungen von ihm. Zweifellos zeichnet sich diese Geschichte auch tatsächlich durch meisterliches dichterisches Können aus. Doch angesichts der zahlreichen anderen hervorragenden Erzählungen offenbart Kafkas Einschätzung von "Ein Landarzt" seinen hohen Anspruch an sich selbst, der im übrigen als Argument für die Ernsthaftigkeit der Anweisung Kafkas an Max Brod angeführt werden kann, wonach Brod nach Kafkas Tod den Großteil des Gesamtwerkes vernichten sollte. (Summary by Wikipedia)

5In der Strafkolonie

By Franz Kafka

In der Strafkolonie ist eine Erzählung von Franz Kafka, die im Oktober 1914 entstand und 1919 veröffentlicht wurde. Einem Forschungsreisenden wird das Rechtssystem einer Strafkolonie vorgeführt. Es besteht darin, dass jeder Angeklagte unabhängig von seiner Schuld von einem Apparat in minutiösem Ablauf stundenlang gefoltert und dann getötet wird. Den Apparat beschreibt Kafka als überdimensionalen Parlograph in der Funktionsweise eines Phonographen mit vibrierender Metallplatte und Nadel. Dieser Apparat ist der Hauptgegenstand der Erzählung, er repräsentiert die Einheit von Schrift und Tod. (Summary by Wikipedia)

"Als Gregor Samsa eines Morgens aus unruhigen Träumen erwachte, fand er sich in seinem Bett zu einem ungeheueren Ungeziefer verwandelt..." So beginnt Kafka diesen Klassiker und beschreibt in seinem typischen Stil wie sich die plötzliche Verwandlung auf das weitere Leben Gregor Samsas auswirkt. (Zusammenfassung von Markus Wachenheim)

"The Metamorphosis" is a novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915 and one of his best known works. The story begins with a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, waking to find himself transformed into a horrible verminous creature. Terrifying in its banal simplicity, it became one of the seminal works of the twentieth century. This Translation is by Ian Johnston. (Summary by David Richardson)

The Metamorphosis (German: Die Verwandlung, also sometimes translated as The Transformation) is a novella by Franz Kafka, first published in 1915. It has been cited as one of the seminal works of fiction of the 20th century and is studied in colleges and universities across the Western world. The story begins with a traveling salesman, Gregor Samsa, waking to find himself transformed (metamorphosed) into a large, monstrous insect-like creature. The cause of Samsa's transformation is never revealed, and Kafka never did give an explanation. The rest of Kafka's novella deals with Gregor's attempts to adjust to his new condition as he deals with being burdensome to his parents and sister, who are repulsed by the horrible, verminous creature Gregor has become. - Summary by Wikipedia

This story, about a man who wakes up transformed into a bug and the repercussions it has on his life and the people around him, has intrigued me for many years. The translation is by Ian Johnston, not the translator that is in Gutenberg; I like Johnston's more. What does it mean? [Spoiler possibly]In my mind it is not complicated at all and is most probably an autobiography of how Kafka himself had experienced his early life living with his parents. Kafka describes how he had experienced his parents’ financial and emotional exploitation's of him, to the point of detaching from them and thereby ceasing to be their son (the real metamorphosis). Gregor’s metamorphosis is that of Kafka’s being an obedient son, subserviently paying for his parents’ narcissistic needs with his own life, into being a disobedient one—as if he had become a ‘piece of vermin’. Gregor’s parents possessed a large sum of money in savings, which symbolizes the needlessness of Gregor’s exploitation. In other words, the parents did not love him for who he was, but for his loyal willingness to undergo this exploitation. Reduced to vermin, Gregor can (or will) no longer financially benefit his parents. It is the parents that caused Gregor’s/Kafka’s metamorphosis. The debt Gregor intended to repay his parents symbolizes the emotional debt many adult children continue to feel towards their elderly parents for the love and care they have provided. Sister Grete, at first siding with her brother against their unfriendliest father, eventually switches sides after her brother’s metamorphosis, conveniently seizing first place in the sibling hierarchy, a reference to Kafka’s relationship with one of his siblings. The reason why the book continues to enjoy popularity among large audiences of readers, in my opinion, is because they recognize themselves in Gregor Samsa, which makes it all the more astounding how many ‘expert’ interpretations attempt to distract students of Kafka away from the most likely one. I know that some of our absolute best LibriVox readers have already recorded this marvelous story but this but it has also been on my list of "yearn to record" things for a long time and for my personal and entirely selfish pleasure now is the time to do it before I get any older or another flood hits us.

10Metamorphosis (version 5)

By Franz Kafka

Inexplicably, young Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning having turned into a large bug. The story follows how him and his family deal with the absurdity of such a situation, leading the reader on a bizarre, dreamlike exploration of family, alienation, and the identity. - Summary by David Derida

La metamorfosis (Die Verwandlung, en su título original en alemán) es una novela escrita por Franz Kafka en 1912. La historia trata sobre Gregorio Samsa, cuya repentina transformación en un enorme insecto dificulta cada vez más la comunicación de su entorno social con él, hasta que es considerado intolerable por su familia y finalmente perece.<br><br>La primera traducción de La Metamorfosis en español apareció publicada en dos partes, en la revista La Revista de Occidente, en el año 1925. La primera de ellas en el número VIII y la segunda parte, en el IX de la misma revista. En la revista no figura el nombre del traductor; simplemente se señala que el autor del texto es Franz Kafka. Es esta la traducción original que se ofrece en este audiolibro. (Summary by Phileas Fogg)

Aus heiterem Himmel sieht sich der Prokurist Josef K. eines Verbrechens angeklagt. Die Art der Anklage wird ihm nicht mitgeteilt, auch nähere Einzelheiten über das Gericht erfährt er nicht, außer, dass es auf den Dachböden heruntergekommener Vorstadthäuser tagt. Dennoch wird von ihm erwartet, dass er seinen Prozess ordentlich führt. Bekannte, die von seinem Prozess erfahren, bieten ihre Hilfe an, aber im Endeffekt kämpft K. praktisch alleine gegen ein übermächtigen und unbekannten Gegner, und der Ausgang des Prozesses bleibt im Dunkeln... <br><br> <em>Der Process</em> ist ein Romanfragment von Franz Kafka (1883 - 1924). Viele Kapitel sind episodenhaft und können in verschiedenen Reihenfolgen gelesen werden. Die Reihenfolge in diesem Hörbuch entspricht dem der Erstveröffentlichung, 1925. Das Kapitel "Im Dom" beinhaltet die Parabel 'Vor dem Gesetz", die bereits 1915 erschienen ist. Zu Lebzeiten war Franz Kafka nicht sehr erfolgreich. Erst die posthumen Veröffentlichungen seiner Schriften durch Max Brod (gegen den ausdrücklichen Wunsch des Autors) verschafften ihm Anerkennung. Heute zählt Franz Kafka zu den Größen der Weltliteratur, und seine surrealistischen Erzählungen gaben einem ganzen Literaturtyp den Namen "kafkaesk". (Zusammenfassung von Availle)
