My Story   Talk 27  More Activities in Europe Welcome to Talk 27 in our series where I'm reflecting on God's goodness to me throughout my life. Last time I was talking about our off-campus activities while we were at Mattersey. I began by talking about activities in Britain and concluded with our activities in Europe, particularly in connection with EPTA, the European Pentecostal Theological Association. Today we'll be saying more about Europe, first with regard to our activities in the Pentecostal European Fellowship, and then about my preaching in national leaders' conferences as well as in local churches. The Pentecostal European Fellowship As I have already explained, PEF was formed as a result of a merger between PEC and EPF. Little did I know when I accepted the invitation to preach at the PEC conference in 1978 that it would eventually lead not only to the founding of EPTA but also to a ministry within PEF itself, and ultimately to representing Europe on the Presidium of the Pentecostal World Conference. Because of my experience in Europe, I was first asked by the AoG Executive Council, as its chairman, to represent AoG on the PEF committee. Jakob Zopfi from Swtizerland had been its chairman for many years and, after Reinhold Ulonska retired as vice-chairman, the PEF Committee elected me to take his place. Major features of the work of PEF were the conferences it usually held once every three years. Thousands of people from all over Europe came to these conferences, though the majority on each occasion came from the country that was hosting it. Relatively few, however, came from the UK. This may have been because of the cost of crossing the channel, or even because the preaching was always done through an interpreter which English speaking people often find it hard to get used to. After preaching at the conference in The Hague in 1978, the next PEF conference we attended was in Böblingen near Stuttgart in 1984, but not in any official capacity. Eileen and I went on to attend conferences in Jönköping, (Sweden, 1991), Bordeaux (France, 1994), Fridek-Mistek (Czech Republic, 1997), Helsinki (Finland, 2000), and Berlin (Germany, 2003). There are many towns in Sweden with a name ending in -koping. It's connected with our English word shopping and is roughly equivalent to market. It was at Jönköping (pronounced yernsherping) that I was appointed to serve as Vice Chairman of PEF. We travelled there by car, which may seem surprising bearing in mind the distance, but it meant that Eileen could come with me, and the trip would cost no more than the price of one air ticket for me. And it turned out that, as most of the delegates had arrived by plane, there was little transport available between the hotel and the conference centre. This meant that we were able to transport Dr Ray Hughes, who was the chairman of the Pentecostal World Conference and the guest speaker from America, to and from the meetings. It gave him the opportunity to get to know us and may have been partly the reason why the following year I was appointed to serve on the PWC advisory committee, and eventually as a member of its presidium. We also travelled by car to the Bordeaux conference in 1994, combining it with a holiday exploring south-western France and visiting Castera Verduzan in Gascony, and Mauléon-Licharre and Eaux Bonnes in the Pyrenees. The conference was particularly significant for Eileen because she was the wife of the Vice-Chairman. This normally carried no specific responsibility, but Sylvia Zopfi, the wife of the Chairman, had broken her leg and was unable to attend. Consequently, it fell to Eileen to preside at a meal for ladies, most of whom were French speaking. Of course there was an interpreter, but Eileen never saw herself as an ‘up front' person and was understandably nervous. Because it was a meal for ladies, I was unable to attend, but I found out later that Herman von Ameron, the husband of the guest speaker, had crept in at the back. So I asked him privately how Eileen had got on, and he replied, She was magnificent. She was like the Queen! Following the political reforms known as perestroika introduced by Russian President Mikhail Gorbachov in the late 1980s, Czechoslovakia was divided into two separated nations, the Czech Republic (or Czechia) and Slovakia. Fridek-Mistek was the venue chosen for the 1997 PEF conference, because it lies on the border of these two countries and so provided delegates from both equal opportunities to attend. Once again, Eileen and I travelled by car, taking extra care in Czechia not to exceed the speed limit, as we'd heard that the Czech police were likely to impose heavy fines on foreigners for any minor infringement. We took the opportunity to visit Prague, a beautiful city, for a weekend before travelling on to the conference. It was now almost 20 years since I had first preached at the conference in The Hague, but for the next decade I was to become a regular speaker with the special responsibility of preaching on the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and praying for people to receive. Sadly there are still many people who attend Pentecostal churches who have not yet come into the experience and in a conference where thousands are in attendance the numbers coming forward for prayer were likely to be enormous. Pentecostal pastors often seem reluctant to teach on the subject, possibly because they are frightened that, when they lay hands on those they pray for, they will not begin to speak in tongues. So I felt the need to preach not only to the people, but also to the pastors. And at Fridek-Mistek I decided to pray for the pastors before I prayed for the people. I asked all the pastors who wanted the Lord to use them in laying hands on people to receive the baptism, to come forward first. I explained that I would pray for them first so that they could then join with me in praying for the people. Dozens of pastors came forward and after I had prayed for them I asked them to turn round and face the congregation. I then called the people to come forward. Hundreds came and each pastor had a queue of people to pray for. Of course, it's impossible to know how many spoke in tongues for the first time, especially in a meeting where so many different languages are spoken! And, even with the people I personally prayed for, there was no way of knowing if they were speaking in tongues or if they were just praying in their own native language. But one thing was particularly noteworthy. When teaching on the baptism I have always been careful to stress that the evidence we are expecting is tongues, not tingles – or shaking, or falling over, or anything else that has no clear biblical basis! However, when one of the people I prayed for did fall over, there was an immediate reaction in the queue next to mine. People started to move into my queue. Perhaps they felt that, despite all I had said, they would somehow get something extra if they fell over! There is still a desperate need for teaching on this throughout the Pentecostal movement and the charismatic renewal worldwide. After the conference we drove into Austria and stayed in an apartment in the church in Bad Ischl where Klaus Winter, the PEF treasurer, was the pastor. I preached in his church and we had a wonderful ten days there exploring Salzburg and the Salzkammergut, the wonderful area where The Sound of Music was filmed. The Helsinki conference was held in the summer of the year 2000 but was preceded by an EPTA conference held in Kaggeholme near Stockholm. We travelled by car as far as Kaggeholme but after EPTA we parked it at Arlanda airport and flew to Helsinki. As Jakob Zopfi was unable to attend because of an illness, it was my responsibility to chair the conference. I also preached on the baptism in the Holy Spirit and, as at Fridek-Mistek, had the privilege of praying for many who were seeking. Shortly after that Jakob Zopfi retired as the PEF chairman and I confess that I was rather relieved not to be appointed as his successor. I too was soon to retire from Mattersey and frankly I didn't want the responsibility. Ingolf Ellsel, a younger man who was the leader of the BFP in Germany, was appointed as chairman, and I was happy to continue to serve as vice chairman. In 2003 the conference was held in Berlin in June. En route we stopped at Liège preaching there over the weekend. We reached Berlin in good time for the conference travelling at times at almost 150 m.p.h. on the autobahns where there was no speed limit. We stayed in a hotel on the outskirts of Berlin in Spandau, famous for its ballet company, and travelled in by underground train to the conference meetings. As in previous years I preached and prayed for people to receive the baptism and hundreds came forward. When Ingolf Ellsel asked who had spoken in tongues for the first time it seemed like just about everybody who had been prayed for raised their hand. It was experiences like this that were undoubtedly the reason why I was asked to speak at so many churches and conferences for national leaders. Churches and National Leaders' Conferences During the years I was at Mattersey I spoke at several national leaders' conferences as well as ministering in local churches. Most of the teaching I did at national conferences centred on the baptism and gifts of the Holy Spirit and how to encourage them at local church level.  These included Germany and Hungary (1989), Iceland (1990), Austria (1999), Belgium (2003) and France (2004) where I was required to preach six times in French on a variety of topics.   The conference was held in Léognan, near Bordeaux, and close to the site of the ADD Bible College. (ADD Assemblées de Dieu i.e. AoG). I taught several sessions in the college in the week preceding the conference and then preached at a youth event held in a marquee in the college grounds. This was an occasion where I really needed the Lord to help me. Of course we always need his help, but this time even more so. I had completely forgotten that I was scheduled to be the speaker at this event, so I said to the principal of the college,             I don't really need to be at the youth meeting this afternoon, do I? To which he replied,             Mais si, vous êtes le prédicteur! (But yes, you are the preacher!) But I had nothing prepared, and I had never preached to young people in French before. Fortunately, several of my books have been translated into French including The Holy Spirit – an Introduction. I had little more than an hour before the meeting began and so, helped the French text of the section on the fruit of the Spirit, I hurriedly prepared a message on this, using examples from the life of Jesus. And the Lord really blessed it. Dozens of young people came forward responding to the appeal to seek to rededicate their lives to Christ. That really encouraged me as the I was preaching in the thousand strong assembly in Bordeaux where Daniel Hébert, whom I had met through PEF, was the pastor. But before leaving the subject of national conferences I need to mention that it was at that conference that David Cizéron gave me a book about his father's work in a part of France I had never heard of, something which will become relevant in a later talk. As far as preaching in local churches is concerned, there are of course far too many to mention them all. I have already talked about my trips to Sweden when I preached in local churches as well as teaching in Bible Colleges. One highlight of these trips was preaching in the Filadelfia church in Stockholm founded by the renowned Pentecostal pioneer, Lewi Pethrus (whose name, incidentally, features immediately before mine in the International Dictionary of Pentecostal and Charismatic Movements). Another highlight was travelling with Eileen to Kristinehamn at the northern end of Lake Vänern, the largest lake in Sweden, and preaching for a week for Paul Gren, one of our former Mattersey students. Germany was another country I also visited frequently. My contact with Germany came from three different though interrelated sources – EPTA which I have already mentioned, the national leaders of the Volksmission group of churches, and the local church in Heidenheim. Herbert Ros and Günter Kaupp were president and vice-president of Volksmission and had both been students at Kenley under the principalships of Donald Gee and John Carter respectively. They both had a great respect for what we were doing at Mattersey and over the years sent us a good number of excellent students who, after they had returned to Germany to take up pastorates there, invited us to minister for them whenever we were in Germany. It was also through my contacts with the leadership of Volksmission that I was invited on several occasions to travel round the churches for a couple of weeks often preaching for just one evening in each church. I was usually accompanied by Eileen, who loved travelling with me and enjoying the beautiful scenery of southern Germany and the warm hospitality we received in homes wherever we went. We undertook such trips in 1998, and 1999, when I was also the guest speaker at the BFP national leaders' conference. (BFP was the wider Pentecostal movement in Germany of which Volksmission had become a part). We made similar trips in 1994, '95, and '96. But it was the church at Heidenheim that we visited most frequently. The pastor there was Albert Bühler. In the early eighties his son-in-law Jürgen Single had heard about a youth camp we were holding at Mattersey during the summer vacation and asked if he could visit it with a coachload of young people from their church as they were arranging a tour of England. We were delighted to receive them and that was the beginning of a lovely relationship we enjoyed with the Bühler-Single family and the church in Heidenheim. We also visited Luxembourg on several occasions due to our relationship with John and Ann Leese who, as AoG missionaries, did an amazing job over many years planting a church there. John had been a student at Kenley when I first started teaching there. We first visited them for a weekend with William and Anthea Kay in 1990 and then again for a holiday in '92 with our daughter Debbie, her husband David, and their one-year-old daughter, Emily, who was our first grandchild. We have visited them many times since including 2001 when John asked me to take care of the preaching (in French, not Luxembourgish) while he and Ann were on holiday. It's also through our contact with Luxembourg that some of my books were translated into French. I will always be grateful to Caroline Hutin, a French schoolteacher who specialised in English, who spent many hours translating You'd Better Believe It, Body Builders, and Just a Taste of Heaven. Having these available was very helpful when I was preaching or teaching in French-speaking countries like France and Belgium. I am so grateful to the Lord that people have enjoyed my teaching and have usually wanted to know more. And my books, in whatever language, have made that possible. My ministry in Belgium was concentrated largely in and around Brussels, at the Continental Theological Seminary where I taught regularly for several years, and at the Christian Centre which held services in both English and French. Daniel Costanza, the pastor of the French speaking church, has used my books as a basis for teaching various courses of Bible study. Jacques Dernelle, who teaches regular courses at CTS, also pastors a great church in Tubize where I have also had the privilege of teaching and preaching. And on at least two occasions I visited Liège and gave a series of teaching which seemed to be well appreciated by the people there. In France where we frequently went on holiday we always sought to attend the nearest ADD church on Sunday mornings and I was often asked to preach. I remember preaching in Versailles, Pau, Mourrenx, Clermont-Ferrand, and Toulouse. However, in Embrun they didn't know who I was and anyway there was already a guest preacher, a French pastor, Samuel Foucart, from Pavilly near Rouen. I enjoyed his preaching and spoke with him afterwards. We exchanged contact details and as a result I was invited in the year 2000 to do a week's teaching on the Holy Spirit. Countries I visited only once or twice during this period were Austria, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, and Italy. In 1982 at the invitation of Carl Pocklington we went to Austria for a week and I preached in Villach and Klagenfürt. And in 2000 I taught for a few days in the church in Linz where Eddie Griesfelder was the pastor. On two occasions I preached for a week in Messina in Sicily where Giuseppe Melusso was the pastor of large AoG church. In 1991 I preached in Reykjavik (Iceland), and in Nokia (Finland) where Teuvo Valkama, one of our former students was the pastor. And in 2002 I preached in Copenhagen (Denmark) and Limerick in Ireland. I look back on all these experiences with great joy and a profound sense of gratitude to the Lord for the privilege of declaring his word in so many places and to so many people. Next time we'll be talking about our service for the Lord beyond Europe.

All over the world, for all of human history – and probably going back to our earliest hominid ancestors – people have found ways to try to keep themselves clean. But how did soap come about?

Was ist reizvoller und billiger: Den Lebensabend in einem Schweizer Altersheim oder im Ausland zu verbringen? Zum Beispiel in Ungarn, wo sich eine Gruppe von Schweizern niedergelassen hat. Dazu: Stimmen aus einem Schweizer Pflegezentrum und von Menschen, die ihre Angehörigen zu Hause betreuen. Wohin im Alter? Diese Frage hat Ruth Stampfli für sich so beantwortet: «Nach Ungarn, denn ich habe dort nur Vorteile.» Die 84-jährige Bernerin lebt seit zwei Jahren in der Altersresidenz «Seniorpalace» am Plattensee. Das Pflegepersonal spreche Deutsch, sei freundlich und nehme sich Zeit. Und es sei viel billiger als in der Schweiz. Stampfli zahlt gut 2000 Franken im Monat. Nur mit dem Essen habe sie teilweise etwas Mühe. «Da muss man sich halt ein wenig anpassen», sagt sie. Das hätte auch seine Tante gekonnt, ist Albert Bär sicher. Er wollte seine fast 100-jährige Tante nach Ungarn ins Altersheim bringen, wurde aber von der KESB gestoppt. Der Umzug an den Plattensee sei nicht in ihrem Interesse. Sie könnte sich einen Lebensabend im Ausland nicht vorstellen, sagt Vreni Vetsch, sie würde ihre Angehörigen vermissen. Allen voran ihren Mann Werner, der sie jeden Tag im Pflegezentrum Bächli im zürcherischen Bassersdorf besucht. Am Anfang sei es schwer gewesen, die Tatsache zu akzeptieren, dass es zu Hause nicht mehr gehe. Vreni Vetsch ist 76 und glaubt nicht, dass sie nochmal aus dem Bächli rauskommt. «Das ist meine Endstation.» Dass sie regelmässig Besuch bekomme, mache die Situation erträglicher. Louis Linherr lebt trotz Alzheimer-Erkrankung immer noch zu Hause. Dank seiner Frau Grazia, die ihren 77-jährigen Mann betreut. Solange es ihr möglich sei, werde sie ihn bei sich behalten. Ab und zu brauche sie allerdings Zeit für sich. Dann helfen der Entlastungsdienst Schweiz oder eine Tages- und Nachtklinik. Dorthin geht auch Hedy Schmid in regelmässigen Abständen. Sie hat ebenfalls Alzheimer und lebt mit ihrem Mann Fredi zusammen, der seine Frau mit Hingabe betreut. «Ich habe mich noch einmal neu in meine Frau verliebt», sagt der 75-Jährige.

En cette année du soixantième anniversaire du crash de Deshaies le 22 juin 1962, notre association a tenu à faire connaitre certains militants et hommes politiques disparus ce jour-là. Jean-Luc reçoit Ronald (Wonal) SELBONNE. Ronald Selbonne écrivain, journaliste et professeur de Lettres et de Langue et Culture Créoles dans le secondaire a écrit en janvier 2013 une biographie d'Albert Béville alias Paul Niger, ce poète, romancier, essayiste et militant politique qui a marqué de son empreinte la littérature négro-africaine et antillaise, ainsi que l'histoire politique des Antilles et de la Guyane.

In a series of WHAV mayoral interviews in advance of Tuesday's Haverhill preliminary election, candidate Colin F. LePage says the biggest issue in this year's election isn't about what Haverhill citizens have, but rather what they've been missing.The current City Council vice president said he has spent his dozen years on the City Council finding money that can be used to give residents more.“What I'm looking to do is, from what I've done on the City Council and I've kind of been known to look at the budget quite thoroughly and found there's been some things that have been missing as far as what taxpayers pay for and as far as the services they could receive,” he said.LePage said, for example, he found $600,000 that was overlooked in an obscure city account. Beyond that, he said he discovered that city failed to collect mortgage payments of $225,000 over two years on city property that was sold for a downtown development.“Over the last few years, I've found over $2 million that just hasn't been properly allocated to be used to provide services for the taxpayers,” he explained.LePage also said in 2015 he identified $100,000 that could be used to hire needed health instructors in the midst of opioid drug epidemic. He noted only one health teacher, serving four middle schools, had been working the prior 10 years. He said, thanks to his lobbying, the schools now have four again. On a related matter, he said he has been visiting middle and high schools to talk about “the perils of drugs and addiction” in light of his son's death.One sum of money, LePage hasn't been able so far to claw back is a building permit fee charged to the new Caleb Dustin Hunking School project.“The administration added $300,000 on the total bill for the Hunking School that the taxpayers will have to pay on that. There was no additional benefit to the citizens other than they now have to pay an extra $300,000 over 20 years to pay for that building permit fee,” he said.He explained the city had not charged itself a permit fee for the Haverhill High School renovation, construction of a police garage and repairs to the library at the Dr. Albert B.  Consentino School after it was flooded.The councilor said he also successfully led the fight to replace both of the city's oldest fire trucks.“Last year, we also discussed the replacement of two, 33-year-old fire trucks. We were told the administration was only going to replace one. Myself and the majority of the Council didn't feel that was accurate and that we could replace two,” he said.LePage said he and his family moved here 24 years ago because of the city's potential and such highlights as four new schools under construction at the time and the presence of a ski hill, castle, golf courses and open space.Support the show (https://whav.net/become-a-whav-member/)

In the first of a three-part series of WHAV mayoral interviews in advance of next Tuesday's Haverhill preliminary election, Mayor James J. Fiorentini spelled out his successes over the past 18 years.The mayor mentioned his pride in rebuilding roads and sidewalks, adding 20 police officers, fixing every park and playground, developing a new master plan that balances growth with preserving the “beauty of Haverhill” and more.“We've gone from a dilapidated downtown to the new, modern downtown that we have today. We've spent millions of dollars fixing our schools. We built a brand-new Hunking School,” Fiorentini noted.Among his goals should he win re-election are renovating or replacing the Dr. Albert B. Consentino School, spending more on roadways and sidewalks, creating affordable housing and dealing with the resurgence of COVID-19.“I'm over at a pop-up clinic right now that we've put in at the back of Sacred Hearts Church. We'll be doing more clinics throughout the city. Our goal is to get everybody we possible can vaccinated using voluntary means,” he said.He said around 68% of the adult population—or 60% overall—are vaccinated, but more people must receive the vaccine to achieve herd immunity.Expanding on his outline of goals, Fiorentini said he wants to fully renovate or replace the new Consentino School without having to ask voters for relief from the tax-limiting law Proposition 2 ½.“We have enough money set aside in our reserves. We've been very careful what we spent over in prior years that's been controversial, but we haven't spent every dime. We've built up our reserves. I believe we can build a Consentino School—one of the few cities to do it without an override or a debt exclusion,” he said.The mayor reiterated his campaign theme that Haverhill's downtown renaissance “didn't happen by accident.”“It happened because we had a plan. We made tough decisions in uncertain times and that's what I'm going to continue to do,” he said.Asked about the many new apartment projects approved by the City Council, Fiorentini said many will not be built because of the high cost of building materials.He also reflected on the debt of the former city-owned Hale Hospital, noting it was the largest debt in the history of Massachusetts. Counting pensions and healthcare, the city had to make payments of $8 million a year. He said the Haverhill was “hamstrung” over the years, but, one portion of the debt will be paid off this year, while another is set to be retired next year.Support the show (https://whav.net/become-a-whav-member/)

  Book Vs Movie: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington The 1939 Classic Film Based on a Story by Lewis R. Foster and Starring Jimmy Stewart   The 2020 election season is over (finally!) and the Margos want to celebrate by talking about one of the most celebrated films about American politics ever made--Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Director Frank Capra’s ode to decency and fighting the most difficult battles for America’s soul.  The story “The Gentleman from Montana” (an unpublished story by Lewis R. Foster) was a fictionalized version of the life of Montana Senator Burton Wheeler who investigated then-President Warren G. Harding in 1921over the Teapot Dome scandal. That scandal involved (which involved oil companies, land deals, and payoffs) caused the first U.S. Senator to go to prison--Albert B. Fall and was considered the biggest D.C scandal of the 20th Century (until Watergate in the 70s!)  Director Frank Capra faced a great deal of opposition bringing the film to life as the media and politicians based in Washington D.C. were completely offended at their portrayal as crooked and dishonest. It didn’t matter, the film became a hit and is now a revered classic nominated for 11 Academy Awards (losing most to Gone With the Wind.)  In this ep the Margos discuss: The basics of the Teapot Dome scandal and why it was such a scandal for the 20th century Frank Capra’s movies and main characters  Why the film was controversial for the time The cast: Jimmy Stewart (Jefferson Smith,) Jean Arthur (Clarissa Saunders,) Claude Rains (Senator Joseph Paine,) Thomas Mitchell (Diz Moore,) Harry Carey (President of the Senate,) and Beaulah Bondi (Ma Smith.)  Clips used: Mr. Smith Goes to Washington  trailer  “I Will Not Yield!” “Lost Causes” "What do you believe in?"

Campbells InterviewOn today’s episode of the Steady Hands Barber Club, we have a couple of special guests:Ben Large, CEO and board of directors, The Stephan Co.Ben Large became CEO of the Stephan Co. in December of 2019. He previously ran an investment firm. Prior to that, he worked in the aerospace industry developing satellite communications systems. Mr. Large has a Bachelor of Science degree from Purdue University in Computer Engineering and a Master of Science degree from the University of Southern California.Corey Cincotta, VP of Operations, The Stephan Co. Corey has worked under the Stephan umbrella for 16 years, beginning as a purchasing agent for the Nationwide Branch in Syracuse, NY. From there he managed warehouse operations, eventually becoming General Manager in 2010. He relocated to Stephan's Corporate Office in Tampa, FL as Director of Sales & Marketing in Stephan's Retail Division. At the time, Stephan had a variety of skin care products in Walmart, Target, and CVS. The opportunity arose in 2012 to manage Stephan's flagship subsidiary, Williamsport Barber Supply, where he has continued to grow into his current role as Vice President.Campbells Campbell’s known product line dates back to around 1939, started by Albert B. Campbell under Campbell Products Co., from Chicago, IL (later Bensenville). The company provided products to the barber industry. Their main product was the “Latherking”, a hot lather machine, first of its kind, with the cleaner and the lathering solution. Campbells registered the mark “LatherKing” in 1945. In 1966, the brand was acquired and assigned to Deltrol Corp., a Delaware company, primarily involved in hydraulic valves that is still active to date. Deltrol continued to function under the dba Campbell’s Products, and in that same year (1966), they registered the current logo (man w/Scottish bonnet), although it had been used in commerce since 1950. Deltrol controlled the brand until 1974 when Morris Flamingo, Inc. acquired the brand from Deltrol, dba Campbell Products, and redesigned the LatherKing (PCS) model. In March 1998, The Stephan Co. acquired the brand when Morris Flamingo, L.P. was acquired and registered the company Morris Flamingo-Stephan. In 2015, Morris Flamingo-Stephan redesigned the current “Next Generation” model. The LatherKing mark has been registered since 1945.The Stephan CoThe Stephan Company was founded in Worcester, Massachusetts, in 1897 by German immigrant Karl H. Stephan., who started out producing barber equipment and surgical tools. He added barber and beauty supplies, becoming the first professional men's hair care company in America as well as the first to sell products only through barber shops. It was through the barber shop trade that the company gained a reputation for the quality of its products. Stephan's best selling product was a dandruff remover, which relied on a 19th-century formula. Under the ownership of its founder, the company thrived and even branched out to sporting goods.Here is a link to go check out Williamsport Bowman Barber Supply:https://www.wbbarber.comOne time 15% off at checkout with promo code " STEADY " And here is a link to check out LatherKing Products:www.Latherking.com Check out the Steady Hands Barber Club Instagram at the link below: https://www.instagram.com/steadyhandsbarberclub/And follow Latherking on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/campbellslatherking/ Thank you so much for listening!

The idea behind this show is pretty simple: We invite scholars, makers, and professionals out to brunch for an informal conversation about their work, and then we turn those brunches into a podcast.It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it.Ann Little is a professor of history at Colorado State University who specializes in the history of women, gender, and sexuality, with a focus on early North America. She is the author of two books, most recently The Many Captivities of Esther Wheelwright. Published by Yale University Press, it won the 2018 Albert B. Corey Prize, awarded jointly by the American Historical Association and the Canadian Historical Association for the best book dealing with the history of Canadian-American relations or the history of both countries.Born in 1696 in New England, Esther Wheelwright was captured by Wabanaki Indians when she was seven and raised by them until age 12, when she was enrolled in a French-Canadian Catholic convent. Wheelwright would eventually become the only foreign-born mother superior in the convent’s history.Ann and host Ted Fox talked about the circumstances that would’ve given rise to an experience like Wheelwright’s, how the convent helped her carve the space to author a life that was truly unique, and why her relative anonymity today belies her prominence in colonial America.

In today's show, Justin, Lydia, and Maura discuss IHOP releasing a pumpkin craft beer, someone purchasing a $131,000 bottle of Albert B. Blanton single barrel whiskey, and the president of Southeast Missouri State University issuing an apology for doing a beer bong at a tailgate. Then, Justin explains some of the obstacles retailers are facing in shipping wine to consumers. Plus, We talk with Mary DesMarais and Josh Sherwin of the Gig Harbor Downtown Waterfront Alliance about their upcoming Sip and Stroll event and Distiller Dain gives us his latest Top 5.    

In 1835, a Native American woman was somehow left behind when her dwindling island tribe was transferred to the California mainland. She would spend the next 18 years living alone in a world of 22 square miles. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the poignant story of the lone woman of San Nicolas Island. We'll also learn about an inebriated elephant and puzzle over an unattainable test score. Intro: As construction began on Scotland’s Forth Bridge, engineers offered a personal demonstration of its cantilever design. In the 1880s, Manhattan's rationalist "Thirteen Club" held a dinner on the 13th of each month to flout superstition. Sources for our feature on the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island: Sara L.
