Podcasts about Absher

J.S. Absher is a poet, memoirist, and independent scholar. As a teetotaler—he is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—he can't add much insight into brews, but he can hold his own when it comes to books. Stan's first full-length book of poetry, Mouth Work (St. Andrews University Press) won the 2015 Lena Shull Award from the North Carolina Poetry Society. Stan's second full-length book of poetry, Skating Rough Ground, was published in 2022 by Kelsay Press. Poems have recently been published or accepted by The McNeese Review, Mormon Lit Blitz, Triggerfish Critical Review, Irreantum, and Tar River Review and have won awards from BYU Studies Quarterly and the journal Dialogue. His poems have been nominated four times for the Pushcart Prize and twice for Best of the Net. He has also published an annotated editions of two memoirs written in the late 19th century by Ida Crumpler Beard. Stan has two prose projects under way. His father killed himself in December 1977. Earlier that year he was a whistleblower in a government investigation of the bank where he worked. The confidential information he handed on widened the scope of the investigation and led to the arrest and conviction of the bank's CEO and two other executives and the firing of several other employees. This turmoil, on top of his already unstable mental state, contributed to his death. Stan's account of these events is based on his father's memoirs and letters, more than a hundred newspaper articles, his own journal, and the memoirs of another participant. Outside those directly concerned, it is now a minor story, but it connects in interesting ways with the Watergate scandal and other major events. Stan's memoir of these events will include poems he's written and published over many years. Stan is also currently researching and writing about the history of North Carolina immediately before the imposition of Jim Crow, focusing on fifty African American men who were arrested in 1895 for their efforts to stop a lynching in Winston-Salem, a lynching that thankfully did not occur. Stan is trying to understand who they were—their jobs and professions, their backgrounds, their kinship and social networks (to the extent they can be determined), and what happened to them afterwards. Stan's interest in this event was sparked by the one-sided account in Ida Beard's memoir mentioned above.   Absher lives in Raleigh, NC, with his wife Patti. His work in poetry and prose can be followed on www.jsabsherpoetry.com.   Stan's Readings: 00:00 Start 08:12 The Pear Tree and Remembering Clara 23:06 What I Knew and When 43:09 Building a Wall   Chris's Cocktail Pairings:  04:21 Brazilian Lime Aid 20:53 The Marigold 40:40 White Peach Interview Highlights:  16:35 The business of being a poet 19:07 Travels to France, Belize, and Taiwan 30:36 Blowing the Whistle: family issues and corporate greed 35:11 Links to the Nixon scandal 40:46 How ancient Rome influenced a poem 50:01 From The Deserted Wife to a thwarted lynching and Jim Crow   COMING NEXT MONTH: Manswell T.

Morgan also shares how she met her fiancé (and rejected him at first), and the boundaries she set when it came to the engagement timeline. Before she joins us, we're talking about guys' orgasm sounds (from the over-the-top to the nonexistent), Instagram compatibility, Ashley's move, and why Rayna's been getting hit on so much. Enjoy!

One January day in 1923, a young boy came across the dead body of a twenty-year-old woman on a San Diego beach. When the police arrived on the scene, they found the woman's calling card, which read simply, “I am Fritzie Mann.” Yet Fritzie's identity, as revealed in this compelling history, was anything but simple, and her death—eventually ruled a homicide—captured public attention for months. In Fritzie: The Invented Life and Violent Murder of a Flapper (U Oklahoma Press, 2023), historian Amy Absher reveals how broader cultural forces, including gendered violence, sexual liberation, and evolving urban conditions in the American West, shaped the course of Mann's life and contributed to her tragic death. Frieda “Fritizie” Mann had several identities during her brief life, and the mysterious circumstances of her death raise as many questions as they do answers. She was born in 1903 near the present border between Poland and Ukraine. She and her family were Jewish immigrants who traveled to San Diego to find security and prosperity. In the last year of her life, Mann became locally famous. She had reinvented herself as a flapper and “Oriental” dancer. She claimed to have friends in Hollywood and a movie contract. On the night of her murder, she said she was going to a party to meet her Hollywood friends; instead she traveled to an isolated roadside hotel where she met her death. An autopsy revealed that she was four and a half months pregnant. Absher guides the reader through the intricacies of this true crime story as it unfolded, from the initial flawed investigation to the sensationalized press coverage and the ultimate failure of the legal system to ensure justice on Mann's behalf. Like other “new women” of her era, Fritzie Mann adopted roles that promised liberation from the control of men. In the end, her life and early death suggest the opposite: she became the victim of a culture that consumed women even as it purported to celebrate them. Learn more about your ad choices.

Product development has long been undergoing a digital revolution, but the pandemic pushed these efforts into overdrive. Today, fashion companies continue to experiment with digital product creation software, and one of the main ingredients required is virtual materials. Even ahead of 3D design's work-from-home boost, research and promotion organization Cotton Incorporated was supporting the industry's digital switch with FABRICAST™, a library of cotton-rich materials that can be used in programs like CLO and Browzwear. Cotton Incorporated continues to grow this range of virtual fabrics and develop new ways for the industry to explore its offerings. A prime example of this is Cotton Incorporated's virtual showroom, which was launched in November.  Virtual visitors can “walk” through the showroom to view prototypes of garments made from FABRICAST™ textiles in categories such as activewear and denim. “It's sort of like a native environment for digital fashion and digital fabrics,” said Katherine Absher, manager, fashion and digital design marketing in the Global Supply Chain Marketing Department at Cotton Incorporated, during a fireside chat with Jessica Binns in December. “And we use it to show brands, mills and…students what our fabrics could be and how they could be used, and what they could be doing with cotton in digital product creation.” In this conversation, Absher and Binns discuss the development of the showroom and Cotton Incorporated's other efforts to encourage the industry and students to create fashion digitally.

This was such an inspiring couple to speak with. Andrew was raised in foster care. As a couple, they have had many foster children, plus worked in a group home with kids. They are passionate about loving foster kids and investing in them. Plus, they provide practical tips for ways families can minister to foster families. This was great information for me since we have too many children to be able to foster kids.  Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/mood-maze/trendsetter License code: RVQL0PKXZLJLR4GR Scripture quotations are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.

Listen as R.G. Absher and Charlie White talk about the exciting news concerning the Greenway!

For Leslie Absher, secrecy is just another member of the family. Throughout childhood, her father's shadowy government job was ill-defined, her mother's mental health stayed off limits—even her queer identity remained hidden from her family and unacknowledged by Leslie herself. In Spy Daughter, Queer Girl, Absher pursues the truth: of her family, her identity, and her father's role in Greece's CIA-backed junta. As a guide, Absher brings readers to the shade of plane trees in Greece, to queer discos in Boston, and to tense diner meals with her aging CIA father. As a memoirist, Absher renders a lifetime of hazy, shapeshifting truths in high-definition vibrance. Infused with a journalist's tenacity and a daughter's open heart, this book recounts a decades' long process of discovery and the reason why the facts should matter to us all. About the SpeakerLeslie Absher is a journalist and personal essay writer. Her work has appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Huffington Post, Salon, Ms., Greek Reporter, and San Francisco magazine. Her father joined the CIA when she was a baby and shortly after her family moved to Athens, Greece. Just in time for a coup. She spent years trying to learn what her Cold War father's role was in that event. Her memoir Spy Daughter, Queer Girl is about growing up with a spy and the cost of keeping secrets.She received a master's in education from Harvard, taught G.E.D. to high school dropouts, and currently teaches study skills and writing to middle school and high school students. She lives in Oakland with her comic book writer/artist wife.www.leslieabsher.com NOTES This program is part of our Good Lit series, underwritten by the Bernard Osher Foundation.

We are back with another episode of Viall Files: Ask Nick Edition! In this episode we welcome Content Creator and Co-Host of the Two Hot Takes Podcast, Morgan Absher, to help us solve our four callers' questions in the world of dating. Our first caller struggles with the maturity of guys she's dating in a relatively small pool of people in her southern town, especially when after admitting she is a surgeon her dates tend to attempt to compensate. Now, she wonders if moving to a major city and upping the age range on her dating apps will give her more chances to find love. Our next caller has recently moved and struggles to find friendships in her new city. Now wondering how to deal with something so common, she learns that it might be okay to admit that you're lonely. After that, our caller has a sticky situation where he can't tell if his guy best friend may have feelings that extend beyond friendship. After his friend breaks up with his girlfriend, our caller has trouble telling if advances like an armpit tickle could be curiosity or strictly platonic. Our last caller wonders if he should start back up a relationship from the past year after exploring his options more. Now he wonders if this past relationship is worth pursuing and if he's just been wasting his time looking for the perfect option instead of recognizing what is in front of him. “What you're doing isn't going to get you what you want!” Please make sure to subscribe so you don't miss an episode and as always send in your relationship questions to asknick@kastmedia.com to be a part of our Monday episodes.  Pre-Order Nick's Book: https://www.abramsbooks.com/product/dont-text-your-ex-happy-birthday_9781419755491/ Check out our new "Introvert" merch at http://www.viallfiles.com today!

On this episode of the Life in the Carolinas podcast, Carl sits down with R.G. Absher, Executive Director at Yadkin River Greenway, a nonprofit created in 1994 through the cooperative efforts of citizen volunteers, landowners, and the governments of Wilkes County. The first phase of the Greenway became a reality and was opened May 18, 2002. This Greenway is a natural area between urban communities where wildlife, vegetation, and streams are preserved and enjoyed. Greenways also provide transportation, recreation, and exercise opportunities for the community. R.G. is a treasure trove of information on the Greenway, and in today's conversation, he specifically highlights a map focusing on the Yadkin Valley Heritage Corridor. It provides an introductory guide to enjoying the river, whether through kayaking or fishing. This map (which is available in digital form as well) aims to promote outdoor activities in the region, which is steeped in natural beauty and is rich with history as well—having had a Native American presence for about 12,000 years. R.G. explains how best to prepare for a visit to the region and the most pressing safety concerns to keep in mind when considering an adventure on the Yadkin River. He also describes the agricultural importance of the area going back centuries since the settlement of Native Americans and our duty as tourists to adhere to the old Boy Scout lesson of “leaving an area better than we found it.”  R.G. believes that cleanliness begins with you if you are to be an ambassador for the outdoors. Ultimately, says R.G., “The goal of the brochure is to encourage activity; and to enjoy it in a safe way.”   https://goyadkinvalley.com/ https://www.yadkinrivergreenway.com/

1:29 - Richard's one big thing this week in Saudi Arabia is an update to Saudi Arabia's founding story as the Kingdom celebrated its Founding Day on February 22. Earlier this year, the government announced the new holiday will be celebrated with a day off for both public and private sector workers, and released a vintage-looking logo used to mark the event.The Saudi English-daily Arab News features a fascinating report on how historians and experts in the Kingdom worked to reveal the actual founding day as 17 years off from previous recording, instead using the first date of Bin Saud's first day as ruler of Diryiah, in what is now modern-day Riyadh, instead of his alliance with Sheikh Mohammed ibn Abdulwahhab.“There is no doubt that the events of 1744, the year in which Imam Mohammed ibn Saud of Diriyah offered sanctuary to the religious reformer Sheikh Mohammed ibn Abdulwahhab, were hugely significant….But over time the importance of that admittedly historic moment of common cause between state and faith came to obscure the far more complex and deeper-rooted origins of the First Saudi State…“It is to correct this neglect of the Kingdom's crucial embryonic years that Founding Day has been created, to celebrate 1727 as the true moment of birth and to give Saudis a deeper appreciation of a past far richer than many realize.”“The theoretical effort of “laying the foundation” for Founding Day is crucial to building states, cementing identity, and enlightening society. The Saudi identity is coherent, modernist, and developed; and like identities throughout history and across the globe, it must be reimagined and reestablished constantly, especially during transitional, historic periods. Today in Saudi Arabia, this effort takes the form of Vision 2030.”11:43 - Lucien's one big thing in Saudi Arabia this week is a look at the oil market and Saudi oil exports as the Russian invasion in Ukraine rages. Where is Saudi Arabia's oil going now, and what's next for energy markets? With oil now headed over $100 a barrel on Brent and possibly even higher as the situation in Ukraine deteriorates, Washington is already in close coordination with Saudi Arabia on energy markets.Russia of course is a big player in the oil markets - making up the "plus" in the new market-setting cartel "OPEC+," which adds a layer of complexity to the crisis in Ukraine and as as sanctions against Russia start to ratchet up, although the West is not sanctioning the Russian oil sector yet. But much of Saudi Arabia's oil now heads to Asia - in fact in 2021, 80% of Saudi crude headed to Asia, with China as the leading consumer. The top four destinations for Saudi crude are China, Japan, South Korea and India. Recent data show that US was again the only non-Asian importer of Saudi oil to make the top five, but the amount the U.S. imported from Saudi Arabia decreased from 407,000 b/d in 2020 to 376,000 b/d in 2021.  This is the lowest in 36 years.Saudi exports to European markets also dropped in 2021. 39:58 - Yallah! Six storylines in Saudi Arabia from the week to get you updated heading into the weekend.•Expo 2020 in Dubai is not just jaw-dropping national pavilions and entertainment. Governments and global leaders convened this week at the Dubai Exhibition Centre at Expo 2020 for the Food, Agriculture and Livelihoods Business Forum. New Zealand, which is recognized globally as one of the most progressive agricultural and aqua-cultural nations – its food sector feeds around 40 million global consumers each year, eight times its population – is New Zealand is taking the lead on the forum that will address the urgent need to transform the world's food and agricultural systems to feed 10 billion people by 2050, within environmental limits. •It was a historic day for Saudi Arabia as the women's national football team played, and won, its first official international match on Sunday. The Saudi squad traveled to the Maldives to beat the Seychelles 2-0 in a friendly which comes just a month after the final team was named. It will now face the Maldives in its second match today. The team was congratulated by Brazilian soccer legend Pelé, who called it a "historic day."•Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud said that Lebanon must offer stronger signals that it is serious about reform to secure support from the international community as it struggles with a financial crisis. “Lebanon first needs to be actively saving itself… We need a stronger signal from the Lebanese body politic that they are going to step up.”  He said this included stabilizing the economy and addressing issues of corruption and mismanagement as well as “regional interference and loss of state sovereignty.”•To mark World Radio Day, the Saudi Broadcasting Authority recently launched Al-Ekhbariya Radio, the first news radio station in Saudi Arabia. The station will have a network of 85 correspondents and will focus 80% of its programming on local news with the remainder focused on Arab and international news. Station director Mubarak Al-Ati said, “Launching the station is in the interest of the Saudi media renaissance to keep pace with the developments the kingdom is undergoing at all levels. Saudi media will continue to advance in service of the kingdom's leadership and people.” •Arab News recently reported that the government has not yet decided to integrate it innovative Tawakkalna application with the Absher platform. The Absher app was introduced in 2015 by the Ministry of Interior and is the leading e-services platform in Saudi Arabia. It served 23 million users who carried out more than 85 million operations in 2021.  Tawakkalna was launched in 2020 by the Ministry of Health and is mandatory for all people in the country to enter worksites, shops, and malls. It also has more than 23 million users and last year was selected among the top applications in the e-health category by World Summit on the Information Society Prizes.•Leading Saudi soccer clubs Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal have each signed long-term strategic partnerships with the investment vehicle of Qiddiya, the new entertainment district near Riyadh which plans to build a new 40,000-seat, cliff-top stadium for the two Riyadh-based clubs. Likewise, the PIF-owned Central Jeddah Development Company has also signed deals with two other top clubs Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli for the same annual amount of $26.6 million and the same duration – until 2042.

The pandemic has disrupted the workforce twice. Once when it made remote working normal and another time when it empowered workers to be more autonomous and powerful. Scott Absher, the CEO at ShiftPixy talks about what happens now. About Scott Scott Absher is the CEO at ShiftPixy - a company focused on streamlining the gig economy to unleash new potentials for flex workers and the companies who hire them. His interest in the gig economy began with his skepticism toward companies like Uber and Lyft who, in his opinion, provide unreliable sources of income to workers. Today, his skepticism continues as he builds ShiftPixy to demand more. More for gig workers and more for the companies who depend on them.Key Web Links The system for Identifying Motivated Abilities: http://simainternational.com/ Follow Scott Absher: LinkedIn Website: https://shiftpixy.com/ SHOW NOTES0:00 | Who is Scott Absher (ShiftPixy)? 00:27 | What is ShiftPixy (and how it cures toxic turnover)?  10:54 | Three waves of human capital markets disruption.13:00 | The user experience of the gig worker15:24 | Leveraging opportunities in the temporary staffing market. 20:22 | Two unexpected insights about temporary staffing and flexible human capital. 22:08 | How ShiftPixie facilitates the discoverability of part-time staffers. 24:01| The challenge of finding reliable and consistent gig workers (and the shifting balance of power in the workforce)26:55 | What will the workforce look like in 2024? 28:27 | How to discover what your staff members are passionate about (and why you should care about that). 32:59 | The downside to remote work (project drift and disconnected passion). 35:48 | Why ShiftPixie relocated its headquarters from Southern California to MiamiQUOTES“I knew we would have a big opportunity in the temporary staffing industry. That's the other half of the part-time labor population and that is a very old business that has not been technically adapted to the new market. And, in fact, they never had to. They didn't have to use elegant technology to communicate with their clients or with the people that were doing the work for them to make that investment.” - Scott Absher [15:24]“We also learned how dependent the fortune 1000 is on this type of agile or flexible human capital. The fortune 1000 clients kept popping up in our due diligence work and as we're putting things together at the end of the day, we're going to be delighting these types of clients…Walmart, Target, Amazon, FedEx, they all rely on flexible labor.” - Scott [20:41] “Wages are already escalating. It's really funny.  Without legislation, we now have a new national minimum wage of at least $15/hour. We think that's going to settle more at $20.  And that's supply and demand. Right now, the workforce is carrying the balance of power. If you're doing creative work, you hold the power.  If you're doing software development, you hold the power. If you're doing blue-collar labor, you hold the power. And it's going to be reflected in wages but also flexibility.” - Scott [26:20]“What you're going to see is people rethinking work. Starting off with the fundamental question: why do I work? And what do I want to do?”  - Scott [27:19] “When you can link somebody's passion to their occupation, you get Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.” - Scott [32:04]
