568. We welcome author Lisa Wingate to the podcast to discuss her novel, Book of Lost Friends. “From the bestselling author of Before We Were Yours comes a dramatic historical novel of three young women searching for family amid the destruction of the post–Civil War South, and of a modern-day teacher who learns of their story and its vital connection to her students' lives” (NYT). "Louisiana, 1875: In the tumultuous era of Reconstruction, three young women set off as unwilling companions on a perilous quest: Hannie, a freed slave; Lavinia, the pampered heir to a now destitute plantation; and Juneau Jane, Lavinia's Creole half sister. Each carries private wounds and powerful secrets as they head for Texas, following roads rife with vigilantes and soldiers still fighting a war lost a decade before. For Lavinia and Juneau Jane, the journey is one of stolen inheritance and financial desperation, but for Hannie, torn from her mother and siblings before slavery's end, the pilgrimage west reignites an agonizing question: Could her long-lost family still be out there? Beyond the swamps lie the limitless frontiers of Texas and, improbably, hope" (Wingate). This week in Louisiana history. April 6 1764 First Acadians actually arrived in Louisiana.

Boxing has been an evolving sport ever since its creation. In the early days … it was crude, raw and the rules were not really formed yet. Gloves were considered dishonorable, canvases were wood and dirt and the fight wouldn't be over, till there was only one man left standing. But what happens when you have two men refusing to go down, refusing to give up, giving every inch of their body to stay in the fight. Well you get the longest boxing match that has ever happened and more than likely will ever will be. You get the brawl between Andy Bowen and Jack Burke.
Heute vor 130 Jahren fand im Olympic Club in New Orleans der längste Boxkampf der Sportgeschichte zwischen Andy Bowen und Jack Burke statt.
The size of the ship and the shoes seized Robert Ballard's attention when he saw the wreckage of the Titanic from a submarine deep below the sea. “The first thing I saw coming out of the gloom…was this wall, this giant wall of…steel that rose over 100 and some feet above us,” Ballard told the Associated Press. “I never looked down at the Titanic. I looked up at the Titanic. Nothing was small.” In 1986, Ballard and a group of explorers from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution helped find the famous passenger ship. The Titanic struck a huge piece of ice and sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in 1912. This week, Woods Hole released a video of the wreckage recorded by the explorers more than three kilometers below the ocean's surface.pproved malaria vaccine to African countries as soon as possible.当罗伯特·巴拉德 (Robert Ballard) 从海底深处的潜艇上看到泰坦尼克号的残骸时,船的大小和鞋子引起了他的注意。 “我从黑暗中看到的第一件事……就是这堵墙,这堵巨大的……钢墙,高出我们 100 多英尺,”巴拉德告诉美联社。 “我从来没有低头看过泰坦尼克号。我抬头看着泰坦尼克号。没有什么是小的。” 1986 年,巴拉德和伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的一群探险家帮助找到了这艘著名的客轮。 1912 年,泰坦尼克号撞上一块巨大的冰块并在北大西洋沉没。本周,伍兹霍尔发布了一段由探险家在海面以下三公里处记录的残骸视频。Ballard saw the Titanic's windows. “It was like people looking back at us. It was pretty haunting actually,” he said. There were no human remains left, but he saw shoes, including what appeared to be the shoes of a mother and a baby. “After the Titanic sank, those that went into the water that didn't have lifejackets died of hypothermia and their bodies came raining down,” he said. The Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg in the early morning hours of April 15, 1912. The vessel was on its first trip from Southampton, England, to New York City.巴拉德看到了泰坦尼克号的窗户。 “就像人们回头看我们一样。实际上这很令人难以忘怀,”他说。没有留下任何人类遗骸,但他看到了鞋子,包括似乎是母亲和婴儿的鞋子。 “泰坦尼克号沉没后,那些没有穿救生衣而下水的人都死于体温过低,他们的尸体如雨点般落下,”他说。 1912 年 4 月 15 日清晨,泰坦尼克号在撞上冰山后沉没。这艘船是第一次从英国南安普敦前往纽约市。The Woods Hole team, in partnership with the French Research Institute for Exploitation of the Sea, discovered the final resting place of the ship in 3,780 meters of water on September 1, 1985, using an underwater camera. The newly released video was from a second research trip the following year. There had been earlier efforts to find the sunken ship. But the 1985 discovery and the 1986 trip were made possible by underwater vehicles that could withstand the severe conditions, said Woods Hole engineer Andy Bowen. “The water is near freezing temperatures and probably the biggest challenge is the remoteness of the location, and in particular the harsh environment with regard to the pressure our equipment is exposed to,” he said.伍兹霍尔团队与法国海洋开发研究所合作,于 1985 年 9 月 1 日使用水下相机在 3,780 米深的水中发现了这艘船的最后安息地。新发布的视频来自次年的第二次研究旅行。早些时候曾有人努力寻找沉船。但 1985 年的发现和 1986 年的旅行是由能够承受恶劣条件的水下航行器实现的,伍兹霍尔工程师安迪·鲍恩 (Andy Bowen) 说。 “水的温度接近冰点,最大的挑战可能是位置偏远,尤其是我们的设备所承受压力的恶劣环境,”他说。“We had a small memorial service for all those that had died. But we were there, we were at this spot,” Ballard said.The video is part of the 25th-anniversary release of the Academy Award-winning movie Titanic. “More than a century after the loss of Titanic, the human stories embodied in the great ship continue to resonate,” James Cameron, the film's director, said in a statement. Ballard said the story of the Titanic continues to interest people to this day for many reasons. It was at the time the world's largest passenger ship and was supposed to be unsinkable. Its passengers included some of the world's wealthiest and most famous people. After it sank, the world heard remarkable stories of heroism and bravery by the crew and passengers. He said: “I think everyone wonders in their own mind ‘If I were there, what would I have done?'”“我们为所有死去的人举行了小型追悼会。但我们在那里,我们在这个地方,”巴拉德说。这段视频是奥斯卡获奖电影《泰坦尼克号》25 周年纪念版的一部分。 “在泰坦尼克号失事一个多世纪后,这艘巨轮所体现的人类故事继续引起共鸣,”电影导演詹姆斯卡梅隆在一份声明中说。巴拉德说,泰坦尼克号的故事至今仍让人们感兴趣,原因有很多。它是当时世界上最大的客轮,被认为是永不沉没的。它的乘客包括一些世界上最富有和最著名的人。它沉没后,全世界都听到了船员和乘客的英勇事迹。他说:“我想每个人都在想‘如果我在那里,我会怎么做?'”

In this episode, we sit down with Andy Bowen of Cohutta Fishing Company, and discuss his upbringing in Georgia, chasing bass as the son of a farmer who eventually found his way to owning a guide service in the mountains of north Georgia. In this podcast, we discuss leading fishing trips to international destinations, chasing Roosterfish, the importance of listening, and why anglers shouldn't overlook fishing in his home state.
What is providence? How does God act? What is his handywork and how does a transcendent God also be an intimate God? Is the world just ruled by fate or chance or is there something more? And what about freewill? Did God just create and then back off or is he an involved creator? If God is in charge, are we truly free? In this episode of The Podechesis Podcast, Brett, Jim, and Allen discuss question 11 from John Wesley's Revision of the Westminster Shorter Catechism, What are God's works of providence? The guys talk about God's nature, how he holds all thing in his grasp, and how human free will only comes by God's providence. They also talk about how God's providence is more than high theology meant for the ivory towers of academia. God's providence is at the heart of his eternal nature and our created being. Along the way, Allen confesses that he just wants a break, Jim admits that he may be a Cylon, and Brett finally gets a title for his book—and then Jim steals it. Oh, and cartoons. All three of the guys have a deep love for Saturday morning cartoons. Special Halloween theme music produced by Andy Bowen (andybowen.com).

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-424 – Alix Shutello – The Intersection of Publishing and Endurance (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4424.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello and welcome to episode 4-424 of the RunRunLive Podcast. Some off you may be wondering what happened to me last week! Or not. I was waylaid by an aggressive intersection of life and technology that prevented me from putting a show out. It was a cascading series of events that you get sometimes in this squiggly path we are all on. First I had an interview set up with Jamie Bearse who heads up the ZERO for prostate cancer foundation that I’ve decide to run Boston for this year. Oh, right, I got a waiver number from my club for Boston and I’m running again. Anyhow, Jamie got the flu, not the coronavirus, this was before that reared it’s multifarious ugly heads and we had to reschedule. I, not willing to give up, called our friend John Vaughn who is a Prostate cancer survivor and coerced him into recording a last-minute call on the same subject. Probably the finest and most compelling interview ever done by two mere mortals… But, something got twiddled sideways in the great bit-locker in the sky and there was no file of the recording to download. After a week of tet-a-tete with the support guys there was no file. Meanwhile I was in Phoenix for 5 straight days for a kickoff with my new job. I did, over-optimistically bring my recording stuff, but, as these things go, was not afforded the chance to create some sort of non-interview filler episode. C’est la Vie. Such is life. But, even as you mourn the apparent reality that a rigorous and devoted podcaster like myself can’t keep a schedule, all hope is not lost! I rounded up a great talk with Alix for you for today’s show. I met Alix on LinkedIn, saw that she runs an endurance sports magazine and had to get her on. I love to understand the intersection of business and endurance. I have two asks today. First is that you send me suggestions on people you’d like me to interview. I don’t have a producer so I have to hunt them down on my own and after 12 years of doing this I’ve talked to a lot of people! Second ask is to contribute to my Prostate cancer campaign. I’ll put the links in the show notes. My friends are dying from this. It’s important to me. In the first section I’ll talk about long run paces, again. In section two I’ll give you my brief understanding of the current OKR wave in organizations. How’s my training going? Actually quite well. Since I’m planning not to hammer Boston this year my coach has me running basic base building runs so far. For example this week I have had 4 easy 1:20 runs. These are not race specific so I can do them in the woods with Ollie and it makes us both quite happy. I got every one of my workouts in while in Phoenix. Proud of that. I’m heading to Vegas next week and look forward to doing some early morning exploring there as well. I received multiple ‘feedbacks’ that my grizzly bear audio was just a little too real last episode. People were startled and looked around on their runs to make sure they weren’t about to be eaten! Sorry. Trying to be creative. Yah know… 12 years and all… got to keep it from becoming too rote. No, I did not suffer from any grisly grizzly attacks but that was actual audio of a grizzly eating a dead caribou in Yellowstone. There is a grisly back story here. And it’s not that someone found a way to mic up a dead caribou. If you search for grizzly audio there’s a sort of viral audio of this poor dude and his girlfriend being attacked and eaten by grizzlies in the early 2000’s in Yellowstone. I did not watch or listen to it because I don’t need that in my head. Apparently they were trying to video the grizzly with the phone, the grizzly attacked, the phone was dropped and you get a black box narrative of the affair. Not my cup o’ tea. I won’t leave you with that. I’ll leave you with something positive. The days are getting longer up here in New England. It’s been a mild January and we don’t have much snow. This means there’s enough sun to get on the trails with the dog around 6:30 AM now. And it’s cold enough for the trails to be firm and fast. There’s nothing like being out in the woods in the silence of a winter’s morning. Your feet crunching in the frozen ground. The sun glow highlighting the world in an innocent blur. Your friend the dog hiding at the tops of hills to pounce on you, damn near knock you down, and run off laughing like a teenager to find his next ambush spot. On with the show! … I’ll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported. What does that mean?

Links are in the show notes and at RunRunLive.com … Section one – Long run Nuances - Voices of reason – the conversation Alix Shutello My Story: A Message from the CEO Hi, my name is Alix Shutello and I started Endurance Sports & Fitness Magazine back in 2010 because someone asked me to. I mean that! I started writing a blog entitled, Tighthams, to write about my running exploits as a new mom. In 2002, I ran the San Diego Marathon pregnant and it wasn’t until 2006 when I wrote about it in my blog. I started the blog, truth be told, to learn how to us WordPress. Many of my 11 magazine clients at the time were starting to blog and leverage social media. I figured if I were going to be able to consult with my clients on blogging, I needed to start blogging myself. And now I’ve published this blog about running a marathon pregnant, and other women from around the world began responding to the blog. I was immediately humbled. Many of these women had multiple kids, had run through all of their pregnancies, and who still felt that society didn’t agree that women should run pregnant. In essence, my blog post on running pregnant started a conversation, and that was a lesson I could teach my clients. I kept up with the blog and started to write reviews on products and post some other topics, all of which seemed to generate a number of comments, so I turned Tighthams from a blog into a company called Runners Illustrated. Runners Illustrated, which played off of a combination of Runners World and Sports Illustrated was a great way for me to report on all aspects of running. An endurance runner from Australia names Andy Bowen emailed me one day. He asked me if I could start covering endurance races. Bowen was one of a number of athletes who approached me about covering global endurance foot races beyond the marathon. It opened my eyes to a world I didn’t know existed….and from there, Runners Illustrated, which focused on running any distance up to the marathon morphed to include all types of ultra running. It didn’t stop there. Once I changed the name of Runners Illustrated to Endurance Racing Magazine, the triathlon community found me too – and it didn’t stop there. Endurance Racing Magazine operated from 2012-2016 and covered a number of non-motorized endurance sports including kayaking, canoeing, ultra marathons, adventure racing, Ironman-distance races, ultra-triathlons, duathlons and all other types of trail and road races in between. In late 2016 I conducted a survey and the title of this publication changed to Endurance Sports & Fitness Magazine. The title, while long, resonated with my readers and created more comfort for those, like me, who are striving to enter the endurance world. In 2016 the newly redesigned magazine (which was only published digitally) hit the “shelves” with a lot of fanfare. We hope that you consider supporting the magazine through a subscription or by advertising. The magazine, which is a community-based magazine, is supported by a number of writers who give their time to provide excellent content and rich stories for our reader base. Please and support our publication. If you ever need to contact me, reach me at . I look forward to hearing from you. Alix Shutello CEO & Publisher Section two – On OKR’s – Outro Well, my friends, we have transversed the frozen ground to the end of another RunRunLive Podcast Episode 4-424 lies sweating and spent in the hoar frost. Nothing new or novel in my training or racing to report. I’m plunking away build mileage for Boston. I canceled the pacing race on Martha’s Vineyard so I can focus on requalifying in June. I have signed up for the Tunnel Light Marathon in Oregon which is on a rail trail and is a consistently slightly downhill course. I’m not going to run any other races, except for the Groton 10K of course. This is I think our 29th running of the 10K. Last Sunday in April, come up and join us. If you folks need anything feel free to reach out to me. I like hearing from you. Ollie the collie is doing fine. He’s just 8 months old now. He’s a stud of an athlete. We’ll finish this week with somewhere around 30 trail miles. He’s still incredibly unruly. He is very vocal, which Buddy was not. Ollie will spontaneously treat you to a loud, close-range, ear-splitting bark if he wants your attention. He’s still very mouthy and jumpy and does not listen well but we’re working on it. A couple weeks ago we were out running in the woods and we came upon a large flock of wild turkeys. Probably 20-30 of them. Ollie was beside himself with joy. He chased those birds hither and thither. Some flew away, like turkeys do, they can’t really fly but they can go short distances, some ran away clucking. Eventually he came back to rejoin me all tuckered out and quite happy with himself. He’s just come into my office to see me and put his big head in my lap for a hug. When I was out in phoenix last week I was thinking about the absurdity of having such a city in the middle of the desert. Before the modern era you could not do such things at scale. One of my mornings I was running along a canal, which I think they called an aqueduct. It was fenced in. I did not attempt to breach the barbed wire. I’ve been known to jump fences, but it looked like they really didn’t want you inside this fence. Turns out, I was told later, that the whole thing is alarmed with motion sensors and if you get inside the fence the authorities rush out to apprehend you. That might have made a good running adventure story. The Puebloans who lived here before got by, but not at this scale. Cities need a reason to exist. They need to be near something. Ancient desert cities were on an Oasis and or near a source of water or trade route. You just don’t put a city in the middle of a desert like Vegas or Phoenix for no reason. There was a recent discovery of a large city in Egypt from a few thousand years ago. And they were asking the same question. Why was this city here? In the middle of the desert? They were able to use modern LIDAR and other airborne surveys to figure it out. A branch of the Nile used to run by this city. That branch of the Nile silted up so the residents picked up the whole city and moved it to the next branch of the Nile some 100 miles away. We’ll see what happens when Phoenix runs out of water. And Vegas. Challenges like this bring out the innovative nature of humans. I will see you out there.

I mean that! I started writing a blog entitled, Tighthams, to write about my running exploits as a new mom. In 2002, I ran the San Diego Marathon pregnant and it wasn't until 2006 when I wrote about it in my blog. I started the blog, truth be told, to learn how to us WordPress. Many of my 11 magazine clients at the time were starting to blog and leverage social media. I figured if I were going to be able to consult with my clients on blogging, I needed to start blogging myself. And now I've published this blog about running a marathon pregnant, and other women from around the world began responding to the blog. I was immediately humbled. Many of these women had multiple kids, had run through all of their pregnancies, and who still felt that society didn't agree that women should run pregnant. In essence, my blog post on running pregnant started a conversation, and that was a lesson I could teach my clients. I kept up with the blog and started to write reviews on products and post some other topics, all of which seemed to generate a number of comments, so I turned Tighthams from a blog into a company called Runners Illustrated. Runners Illustrated, which played off of a combination of Runners World and Sports Illustrated was a great way for me to report on all aspects of running. An endurance runner from Australia names Andy Bowen emailed me one day. He asked me if I could start covering endurance races. Bowen was one of a number of athletes who approached me about covering global endurance foot races beyond the marathon. It opened my eyes to a world I didn't know existed….and from there, Runners Illustrated, which focused on running any distance up to the marathon morphed to include all types of ultra running. It didn't stop there. Once I changed the name of Runners Illustrated to Endurance Racing Magazine, the triathlon community found me too – and it didn't stop there. Endurance Racing Magazine operated from 2012-2016 and covered a number of non-motorized endurance sports including kayaking, canoeing, ultra marathons, adventure racing, Ironman-distance races, ultra-triathlons, duathlons and all other types of trail and road races in between. In late 2016 I conducted a survey and the title of this publication changed to Endurance Sports & Fitness Magazine. The title, while long, resonated with my readers and created more comfort for those, like me, who are striving to enter the endurance world. In 2016 the newly redesigned magazine (which was only published digitally) hit the “shelves” with a lot of fanfare. We hope that you consider supporting the magazine through a subscription or by advertising. The magazine, which is a community-based magazine, is supported by a number of writers who give their time to provide excellent content and rich stories for our reader base. Please and support our publication. If you ever need to contact me, reach me at . I look forward to hearing from you. Alix Shutello CEO & Publisher Section two – On OKR's – Outro Well, my friends, we have transversed the frozen ground to the end of another RunRunLive Podcast Episode 4-424 lies sweating and spent in the hoar frost. Nothing new or novel in my training or racing to report. I'm plunking away build mileage for Boston. I canceled the pacing race on Martha's Vineyard so I can focus on requalifying in June. I have signed up for the Tunnel Light Marathon in Oregon which is on a rail trail and is a consistently slightly downhill course. I'm not going to run any other races, except for the Groton 10K of course. This is I think our 29th running of the 10K. Last Sunday in April, come up and join us. If you folks need anything feel free to reach out to me. I like hearing from you. Ollie the collie is doing fine. He's just 8 months old now. He's a stud of an athlete. We'll finish this week with somewhere around 30 trail miles. He's still incredibly unruly. He is very vocal, which Buddy was not. Ollie will spontaneously treat you to a loud, close-range, ear-splitting bark if he wants your attention. He's still very mouthy and jumpy and does not listen well but we're working on it. A couple weeks ago we were out running in the woods and we came upon a large flock of wild turkeys. Probably 20-30 of them. Ollie was beside himself with joy. He chased those birds hither and thither. Some flew away, like turkeys do, they can't really fly but they can go short distances, some ran away clucking. Eventually he came back to rejoin me all tuckered out and quite happy with himself. He's just come into my office to see me and put his big head in my lap for a hug. When I was out in phoenix last week I was thinking about the absurdity of having such a city in the middle of the desert. Before the modern era you could not do such things at scale. One of my mornings I was running along a canal, which I think they called an aqueduct. It was fenced in. I did not attempt to breach the barbed wire. I've been known to jump fences, but it looked like they really didn't want you inside this fence. Turns out, I was told later, that the whole thing is alarmed with motion sensors and if you get inside the fence the authorities rush out to apprehend you. That might have made a good running adventure story. The Puebloans who lived here before got by, but not at this scale. Cities need a reason to exist. They need to be near something. Ancient desert cities were on an Oasis and or near a source of water or trade route. You just don't put a city in the middle of a desert like Vegas or Phoenix for no reason. There was a recent discovery of a large city in Egypt from a few thousand years ago. And they were asking the same question. Why was this city here? In the middle of the desert? They were able to use modern LIDAR and other airborne surveys to figure it out. A branch of the Nile used to run by this city. That branch of the Nile silted up so the residents picked up the whole city and moved it to the next branch of the Nile some 100 miles away. We'll see what happens when Phoenix runs out of water. And Vegas. Challenges like this bring out the innovative nature of humans. I will see you out there.
