Once again I Dream of Cameras spans the globe, with Jeff in Prague and Gabe in Los Angeles, and not even a nine-hour time difference can slow us down! In fact, one might say we are utterly devoid of camera viscosity, or “camerosity” for short. In this supersized episode…Jeff unknowingly chatted up Danny Clinch about his Leica Q2 at the Trombone Shorty Soho Session, and the acclaimed photographer was faintly dismissivefor the next two months Jeff's in Prague, where the camera shops (FotoŠkoda, Jan Pazdera) are far too alluringhe's been eyeing a lovely Zeiss Tenax II, a flawed Olympus 35SPn, and a beautifully brassed black Canonflex RMbefore departure, Jeff did the unthinkable: snagged a bargain-basement half-frame Alpa 10s on the ‘Bay - it's half a Swiss cookie and the realization of a lifelong dream!talking Leicas with Dave Tada, Gabe realized he needs a 35mm lens for his Leica III - he already has the 50mm Serenar, so any suggestions?Gabe went to the Fujifilm event for their bizarre new half-a-cookie digital - what did he learn about the elusive x100vi?Gabe has gone half-cookie INSANE with his Olympus Pen FT, so now our friend Sissi Lu has enticed him to give the Pentax One Seven one more try - what will he grab next, the chunky plastic Pentax or the mighty meterless Olympus Pen FV?he's got a portrait shoot coming up, and plans to use the Kiev 60, the Leica III and the Mamiya RZ67as for replenishing his collection, he's up to 27 of a planned 30 cameras Jeff was shooting around Prague when Sudden Fujifilm Battery Death struck again!

On this episode of Engage, host First Officer Ryan Argenta discusses how Delta is actively opposing state laws that were enacted to provide employees with an enhanced sick leave benefit. Specifically, the Company is attempting to circumvent, ignore or litigate state sick laws that provide employees who live or work in that state with benefits more generous than those offered by their employers. Pilots based in LAX, MSP, DTW, SEA and NYC are familiar with Delta's ongoing efforts to prevent them from using their state sick benefit in order to care for themselves and their families. Those attempting to use their sick leave are often meet with resistance, have their sick claims denied or receive “counseling” from Chief Pilots. Special guests David Martin, Senior Legislative Rep, and Jeff Pavlak, Manager of Policy and Legislation for ALPA National, discuss this concerning problem and address how ALPA is aggressively fighting for Delta's compliance. The group talks about what pilots can do to affect change on a broader level and specifically what pilots can do who need to use their state sick enhanced benefits or have been denied by Delta.

As sometimes happens in the wonderful world of social media content creation, "the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray" we had plans to record Episode 90 back in March, but a variety of unfortunate and unrelated happenstances occurred which resulted in a short hiatus for recording.  We had planned on making Episode 90 a show all about Cameras of the 90s, but we had also wanted Episode 91 to be recorded with two special guests, so we were forced to do things out of order. Thankfully, the obstacles which caused our six week break didn't interfere with us sitting down with Jeff Greenstein and Gabe Sachs from the I Dream of Cameras podcast.  For those of you who are familiar with their show, you'll know that Jeff has a fondness for Alpa cameras, so this unofficially doubles as our first and probably only Alpa episode. After some short introductions, we refer back to a fun comparison between the two podcasts written by listener John Kelly and both hosts give our reactions to some of his funny answers.  We cover a variety of cameras that we all love and shoot, along with Jeff's deep dive into why he loves the Alpa 11si so much. Gabe shares a story of how he's had to rebuild his camera collection from scratch after losing it when his home burned down in the Palisades wild fires that ravaged Los Angeles earlier this year.  We ponder why the Hasselblad XPan can't get repaired anymore and what other cameras are on the verge of being unrepairable.  Mike shares three very different Alpas in his collection and shares what he likes and doesn't like about all three, Anthony shares his thoughts on a new (to him) Fuji camera he recently bought, and Paul talks about his plans for traveling to Ireland later this spring. As always, the topics we discuss on the Camerosity Podcast are influenced by you!  Please don't feel like you have to be an expert on a specific type of camera, or have the level of knowledge on par with other people on the show.  We LOVE people who are into shooting or collecting cameras, no matter how long you've been doing it, so please don't consider your knowledge level to be a prerequisite for joining! The guys and I rarely know where each episode is going to go until it happens, so if you'd like to join us on a future episode, be sure to look out for our show announcements on our Camerosity Podcast Facebook page, the Camerosity Discord server, and right here on mikeeckman.com. We usually record every other Monday and announcements, along with the Zoom link are typically shared 2-3 days in advance. As promised two episodes ago, we still want to do a Cameras of the 90s episode, but this time it will have to be Episode 91.  Finally, Theo will get a chance to talk about his beloved Mamiya 7, but in addition to that there were many other terrific cameras from that decade like the Nikon N90s and the premium 28Ti and 35Ti point and shoots, the Contax AX, and the Olympus µ[mju:]-II.  In addition to terrific film cameras, the 1990s was the first decade with a large number of digital cameras like the Minolta RD-175 and Nikon D1.  We will record Episode 91 on Monday, May 5th at 7pm Central Daylight Time and 8pm Eastern Daylight Time.

El portavoz adjunto de Vox en la Asamblea Regional pide al Gobierno que presente ya en la Asamblea los presupuestos de 2025 que es donde tienen que aprobarse. Compara la actitud de López Miras con la de Pedro Sánchez que sí se ha atrevido a llevar al Congreso el techo de gasto hasta dos veces, aunque haya sido rechazado.Rubén Martínez Alpañez pasaba por los micrófonos de Onda Regional para recordar que aunque no hay cerrado un acuerdo con el PP, la puerta sigue abierta a la negociación, pero añade que es el Ejecutivo el que tiene que llevar el proyecto a la Asamblea. Le reclama que hoy mismo de luz verde al techo de gasto.Martínez Alpañez señala la importancia del rechazo en la Asamblea por parte del presidente del Pacto Verde Europeo y la Inmigración ilegal, ese es un paso importante, pero no es todo.El viceportavoz de Vox asegura que hay muchos proyectos de su partido que el consejero portavoz, Marcos Ortuño, guardó en un cajón cuando salieron del Gobierno y que hay que revitalizar. Cree posible no aplicar las políticas del Pacto Verde Europeo porque perjudican a la Región y dice de los aranceles de Estados Unidos que son la consecuencia de los que impone la Unión Europea a los productos norteamericanos.

U ovoj epskoj epizodi, istoričari i kumovi Nikola Đukić i Nikola Šipka vode vas kroz jednu od najdramatičnijih borbi antičkog doba - Punske ratove! Ko je zaista bio moćniji - Rim sa svojom neumoljivom disciplinom ili Kartagina sa svojim genijalnim strategijama i neustrašivim Hanibalom? Kako su ove tri brutalne konfrontacije zauvek promenile tok istorije i oblikovale budućnost Mediterana? Kako je sve počelo? Rim i Kartagina, dve moćne civilizacije, dugo su koegzistirale, ali kada su interesi sudarili na Siciliji, svet je utonuo u sukob koji će trajati preko jednog veka. Šta je presudilo? Diplomatske spletke, vojna genijalnost ili čista upornost? Da li je prelazak Alpa sa slonovima bio vojni podvig veka ili sumanuta avantura? Kako je Hanibal umalo oborio Rim na kolena? Kakvu ulogu su imali rimski generali poput Scipiona Afričkog i kako su preokrenuli sudbinu Rima? Treći Punski rat nije bio samo sukob - bio je to čin potpunog istrebljenja. Zašto su Rimljani otišli tako daleko da izbrišu Kartaginu sa lica zemlje? Da li su se plašili novog Hanibala ili je u pitanju bila čista osvetoljubivost? Sa strašću pravih istraživača i uz već poslovičan britki humor, Nikola & Nikola raskrinkavaju mitove, analiziraju ključne bitke i otkrivaju detalje koji su ostali u senci istorijskih zapisa. Od prvog sukoba na Siciliji, preko čuvenog prelaska Alpa sa slonovima, pa sve do potpunog uništenja Kartagine - ovo je priča o moći, osveti i neumoljivom usponu Rima.

The Incarcerations: Bk-16 and the Search for Democracy in India (OR Books, 2024) pulls back the curtain on Indian democracy to tell the remarkable and chilling story of the Bhima Koregaon case, in which 16 human rights defenders (the BK-16) – professors, lawyers, journalists, poets – have been imprisoned, without credible evidence and without trial, as Maoist terrorists. Alpa Shah unravels how these alleged terrorists were charged with inciting violence at a year's day commemoration in 2018, accused of waging a war against the Indian state, and plotting to kill the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Expertly leading us through the case, Shah exposes some of the world's most shocking revelations of cyber warfare research, which show not only hacking of emails and mobile phones of the BK-16, but also implantation of the electronic evidence that was used to incarcerate them. Through the life histories of the BK-16, Shah dives deep into the issues they fought for and tells the story of India's three main minorities – Adivasi, Dalits and Muslims – and what the search for democracy entails for them. Essential and urgent, The Incarcerations reveals how this case is a bellwether for the collapse of democracy in India, as for the first time in the nation's history there is a multi-pronged, coordinated attack on key defenders of various pillars of democracy. In so doing, Shah shows that democracy today must be not only about protecting freedom of expression and democratic institutions, but also about supporting and safeguarding the social movements that question our global inequalities. About the Author:  Alpa Shah is the Professor of Social Anthropology at Oxford, with a Fellowship at All Souls College. She has written and presented for BBC Radio 4 Crossing Continents and From Our Own Correspondent. She is a twice-finalist for The Orwell Prize for Political Writing for her 2018 book Nightmarch: Among India's Revolutionary Guerrillas and her 2024 book The Incarcerations: BK-16 and the Search for Democracy in India.

Alpa Shah unravels how these alleged terrorists were charged with inciting violence at a year's day commemoration in 2018, accused of waging a war against the Indian state, and plotting to kill the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Expertly leading us through the case, Shah exposes some of the world's most shocking revelations of cyber warfare research, which show not only hacking of emails and mobile phones of the BK-16, but also implantation of the electronic evidence that was used to incarcerate them. Through the life histories of the BK-16, Shah dives deep into the issues they fought for and tells the story of India's three main minorities – Adivasi, Dalits and Muslims – and what the search for democracy entails for them. Essential and urgent, The Incarcerations reveals how this case is a bellwether for the collapse of democracy in India, as for the first time in the nation's history there is a multi-pronged, coordinated attack on key defenders of various pillars of democracy. In so doing, Shah shows that democracy today must be not only about protecting freedom of expression and democratic institutions, but also about supporting and safeguarding the social movements that question our global inequalities. About the Author:  Alpa Shah is the Professor of Social Anthropology at Oxford, with a Fellowship at All Souls College. She has written and presented for BBC Radio 4 Crossing Continents and From Our Own Correspondent. She is a twice-finalist for The Orwell Prize for Political Writing for her 2018 book Nightmarch: Among India's Revolutionary Guerrillas and her 2024 book The Incarcerations: BK-16 and the Search for Democracy in India.

In this podcast episode, CA Nick Kastanes, Chair of the Retirement and Insurance Committee and ALPA Benefits Specialist, Retirement and Insurance Department Michelle Fredenrich discuss the intricacies of long-term disability (LTD) benefits for Frontier pilots. Key topics include different LTD coverage options, the 90-day elimination period before benefits start, filling the gap with short-term disability, and other state programs. The conversation covers the core LTD plan and the implications of imputed income, as well as the specifics of LTD buy-up options, which extend coverage and increase maximum monthly benefits. They emphasize the importance of understanding the 'own occupation' and 'any occupation' definitions within the policy, detailing their effects on benefit eligibility and potential income offsets. Additionally, they discuss the return-to-work incentives and the impact of pre-disability earnings on benefit calculations. Recent LTD statistics are reviewed, revealing the reasons for claim closures and underscoring that no pilots have been removed due to high-income potential in alternate occupations. The episode concludes with a discussion on proposed contract improvements and the ongoing efforts by ALPA to enhance pilots' benefit packages.   SUBSCRIBE   Follow us on Facebook Follow us on Instagram   Hosted by Captain Jason DuVernay

(Recorded January 23, 2024).   Disclaimer: ALPA does not give financial advice.
