The Controversial Scene that took 'The Beverly Hillbillies' off the Air
The Beverly Hillbillies is an American sitcom television series broadcast on CBS from 1962 to 1971. The show had an ensemble cast featuring Buddy Ebsen, Irene Ryan, Donna Douglas, and Max Baer Jr. as the Clampetts, a poor backwoods family from the Ozarks region of Arkansas[1] who move to posh Beverly Hills, California after striking oil on their land. The show was produced by Filmways and was created by writer Paul Henning. It was followed by two other Henning-inspired country cousin series on CBS: Petticoat Junction and its spin-off Green Acres, which reversed the rags-to-riches, the country-to-city model of The Beverly Hillbillies.
The Beverly Hillbillies ranked among the top 20 most-watched programs on television for eight of its nine seasons, twice ranking as the number one series of the year, with 16 episodes that remain among the 100 most-watched television episodes in history. It accumulated seven Emmy nominations during its run. The series remains in syndicated reruns, and its ongoing popularity spawned a 1993 film remake by 20th Century Fox.

7 - The 1979 Iranian Revolution and Hostage Crisis
In 1953, the CIA engineered the overthrow of Iran’s popular Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh, and propped up instead the country’s detested monarch, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi — the Shah of Iran. Exploiting Iran’s oil fields, the Shah enriched himself while the country’s workers struggled, and his security forces ruthlessly persecuted dissidents who protested the regime.
By the late 1970s, the Shah’s cruelty toward the Iranian people would finally blow up in his face, as the country revolted in a series of strikes and protests. One of the Shah’s harshest critics — Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini — would emerge as a leading figure in Iran’s revolution and the Islamic Republic that would follow.
As for the Shah, he looked for sanctuary in his old ally — the United States. But President Jimmy Carter’s reception of the tyrant inflamed tensions in Tehran, and a group of students responded by seizing the U.S. embassy and holding 52 of its diplomats hostage. In this episode, we bring you the story of Iran’s 1979 Revolution and the events now known as the hostage crisis.

2019 Van Horn Distinguished Lectures: 3: machine learning of materials structure & synthesis
2019 Van Horn Distinguished Lectures: Part 3 - machine learning of materials structure and synthesis.
The Kent R. van Horn Lectureship is an endowed Lectureship at the Case Western Reserve University and dates from 1974. It honours Kent R. van Horn, an alum, who had a distinguished career as a metallurgist, director of research, and ultimately corporate vice-president of Alcoa. Three lectures on varied topics are to be delivered over three successive days. The 2019 lectures were delivered by Gerbrand Ceder, who is the Chancellor's Professor of Materials Science and Engineering at University of California, Berkeley. He is notable for his pioneering research in high-throughput computational materials design, and in the development of novel lithium-ion battery technologies.
Abstract: Machine learning is particularly well suited for problems for which no deductive theory exists. I will show two examples of such efforts: While structure prediction is usually treated as a mathematical minimization problem of the (free) energy, I will show that it can be learned much more effectively by training an algorithm on the tens of thousands of known crystal structure assignments known in structure databases.
A more difficult problem is that of materials synthesis. With no deductive theory available to predict how novel compounds can be synthesized, it may be possible to learn from the hundreds of thousands published recipes with which inorganic compounds have been synthesized. I will show how we use advanced natural language processing techniques to extract codified synthesis recipes from over 3 Million journal papers. The large collection of synthesis recipes can be mined and used to predict synthesis conditions for new materials.

The Road to Dien Bien Phu: A History of the First Indochina War
A talk by Christopher Goscha, Professor of International Relations and History, Université du Québec à Montréal
Moderated by Peter Zinoman, Professor of History, UC Berkeley
This webinar book talk is a presentation by Prof. Goscha of his book 'The Road to Dien Bien Phu: A History of the First War for Vietnam' (Princeton University Press, 2022). This book uses the decisive battle of Dien Bien Phu in 1954 as a starting point to examine how Ho Chi Minh’s guerilla army became a modern fighting force able to defeat the French.
Christopher Goscha is Professor of International Relations and History at the University of Quebec at Montreal. His other books include Vietnam: A New History (Basic Books, 2016) which received the John K. Fairbank Prize from the American Historical Association in 2017 and Historical Dictionary of the Indochina War (1945-1954): An International and Interdisciplinary Approach (University of Hawaii Press, 2012), which was a Choice Outstanding Academic Title in 2012. He received his undergraduate degree from Georgetown University, masters degrees from the Australian National University and University of Paris VII and his Ph.D. from L’École Pratique des Hautes Études.
