Renwick, with too much time on his hands, was bored. He turned to Mead, in his discontent, only to discover some frightening aspects of his friend's hobby of collecting children's games and rhymes. Before the Fact by Zenna Henderson. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.Tony from the future recently bought us 20 coffees and had a request, “Since I know you like uncommon authors and also support female writers, please look into Zenna Henderson.” Thanks for the request Tony, without you we may never have known about Zenna Henderson.She was born in 1917 in Tucson, Arizona and began reading science fiction when she was 12. She graduated from Arizona State College, now Arizona State University, in 1940 and taught school, primarily in Tucson, mainly first grade. Zenna is one of 203 women recognized in the book “Partners in wonder : women and the birth of science fiction” who wrote stories that were published in US Science Fiction Magazines from 1926 to 1965.Her debut science fiction short story appeared in 1951, marking the beginning of a prolific career that saw over 60 of her works featured in pulp sci-fi magazines. The 1972 ABC TV movie of the week The People starring William Shatner and Kim Darby is based on the Zenna Henderson story Pottage.

Today is the second episode on our two-part series looking at Black representation on the Phoenix City Council. Morrison F. Warren was the first Black man to ever sit on the Phoenix City Council. But he wasn't a politician. Rather Warren spent his life building bridges through education and advocating for equality. He grew up at a time when Phoenix was segregated. It was something that struck him deeply. He graduated valedictorian of his high school and attended Phoenix College before serving in the Army during World War II. He survived and came back to Phoenix to earn his bachelor's degree from Arizona State University, then called Arizona State College. He was a star player on the football team there and even had a short stint in the NFL. Later, Warren moved on to get his master's and PhD, all in education from ASU. In this episode, we hear from his son, Kevin Warren, and from Morrison Warren himself from an archived interview. The audio of Morrison Warren is provided by the Arizona Historical Society. You can watch the interview with him here. The video was directed and written by Chris Wooley. The director of photography was Wayne Dickmann. The video was produced by the Historical League, and narrated by Pat McMahon. It was made possible by a financial grant from Dr. Edward B. Diethrich. Learn more about your ad choices.

In 1946, the Arizona State College mascot was the Bulldogs. But the Bulldog mascot was one of the most popular, then and now, so the football booster club decided it needed a new mascot that was more unique. That's when local attorney and member of the organization Water Craig suggested the Sun Devil. Craig also knew the illustrator who would bring Sparky the Sun Devil to life. Berkeley Anthony was a former Disney animator in the 1930s and early 1940s. But the story of Berkeley's time at Disney, as well as his creation of Sparky afterward, has many twists and turns. Producer Maritza Dominguez will explore that story on this week's episode of Valley 101, a podcast from The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com. In this episode, you'll hear: How a small time Disney animator created the iconic mascot for ASU How Sparky came to live on the football field How the legacy of Sparky the Sun Devil Continues
By Davy Crockett This is the third part of the rim-to-rim series. Read first Part 1 and Part 2 As the Grand Canyon entered the 1940s, the corridor trails were in place along with the Black Bridge across the Colorado River, making rim-to-rim travel on foot possible. By the early 1960s, a few daring athletes were hiking or running rim to rim in a day and even a few completing double crossings in a day. Credit goes to Pete Cowgill (1925-2019) and his Southern Arizona Hiking Club from Tucson, Arizona, who demonstrated to all that crossing the Canyon on foot in a day was not only possible but was an amazing adventure. The Boy Scouts in Arizona started to offer rim-to-rim patches to those who completed the hike. A rim-to-rim-to-rim patch appeared in 1963. Publicity for the patches were being published in national scouting magazines. That year a fifty-mile hike craze was also burning throughout the country attracting more hikers to the Canyon. Arizona State College in Flagstaff started to organize large rim-to-river and back hikes. Warnings were offered by the wise: "It is more rugged than anything you have every pictured. Despite its famed beauty, the canyon is a natural killer and hardly a year goes by that it doesn't claim at least one life in some way." In 1963, visitors topped 1.5 million and serious growing pains were felt at Grand Canyon Village with traffic, crowded lodging, and strained Park services. More development was needed but the big limitation was water. The quest for water would result pausing in rim-to-rim travel for more than five years. The Trans-Canyon Water Pipeline As you hike or run rim to rim, you see can see at times pipes and other indications that there is a pipeline buried under the North Kaibab and other trails. This is the trans-canyon pipeline which is the lifeblood for the South Rim and other locations along the way that supplies the water for your adventure. There is significant history behind the creation of this pipeline and several people even lost their lives during construction. As you travel rim to rim you should observe and know what once took place on the trails you travel including a massive 1966 flood, the most destructive event to the corridor inner canyon in recorded history. South Rim Water tankers deliver to South Rim Obtaining water for both Grand Canyon rims has always been a challenge. Since before 1900, on the South Rim, water was hauled in from 18 miles or more. By 1919, the Santa Fe railroad hauled up to 100,000 gallons per day to Grand Canyon Village. In 1926 a reclamation plant was built to reclaim water for non-drinking uses which helped some. Deep wells did not exist because of all the sedimentary rock layers. Rainwater would just run out of the rock and down into the Canyon. Tram lowering trailer In 1931 construction of a water system began at Indian Garden to pump water up to the South Rim. A cable tramway was constructed from the rim to about a mile above the Garden which was used to bring down a five-ton tractor to help with construction. The tram was removed in 1932 but signs of it still be seen 50 yards northeast of the 3-mile rest house. By 1934, the pump was in operation bringing about 150,000 gallons per day 3,200 feet up a six-inch pipe to the South Rim. The water was still supplemented during the summer with water tank train cars and million-gallon storage tanks. Portions of this pipeline are still visible. North Rim Over on the North Rim, there were a few springs a couple hundred feet below the rim. During the early 1920s. young Robert Wylie McGee would make daily trips to a spring to haul water by burro to Wiley Way Camp. He wrote, “The spring was about 5/8th of a mile, down in the mouth of a draw, west of the camp. The climb was probably a 200-foot change in elevation. Brighty (the burro) and I would make about four to seven trips daily. I filled the cans out of a wood barrel that the spring dribbled into using a b...
Dr. Christy Alexon returns to the show to discuss the importance of vitamin supplementation for the hard-training individual. She focuses on three key vitamins and supplements -- Vitamin C, D, and probiotics for the gut -- which are often overlooked by otherwise macro-compliant lifters. Taking vitamins or probiotics doesn't just mean popping a pill, however, and Dr. Alexon recommends supplementing with natural foods first before turning to pharmacy-bought, OTC supplements. Vitamin D - helps protect the immune system, manages inflammation, and even binds with cell nuclei to aid in gene expression. Since hard training is a stress and often creates an inflammatory response, Vitamin D is helpful in recovery. One study has even linked Vitamin D supplementation to greater muscle fiber growth. The skin produces Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. 5-30min of sun exposure is enough to satisfy your daily needs depending on the skin surface area exposed, climate, and season. Still, many people (esp. those living in northern climates) do not get enough sun, so Dr. Christy recommends vitamin supplements as well. The recommended daily allowance (RDA) is 600 IU, 800 for older (70+) people, but you can supplement with as much as 2,000 IU. The safe upper limit for supplementation is 4,000 IU. Probiotics - healthy gut flora is very important for nutrient absorption. We tend to think of food as a calories in = calories out proposition, but your gut health impacts the amount of calories and nutrients you can digest from the food you eat. Therefore, Dr. Christy recommends supplementing with probiotic foods, such as yogurt and fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchi, kombucha tea, etc). Probiotic supplements are available as well, however they vary greatly in quality. She recommends Culturelle, though she prefers probiotics from natural foods. Beware yogurt with lots of added sugar, as the bacteria count is typically lower and it’s not as healthy from a macro perspective. Greek yogurt and Siggi’s (Icelandic yogurt) can be found in low or no fat varieties, and are very high protein as well, so they are macro friendly. The goal with probiotic supplementation is to consume as many strains of bacteria as you can, as biodiversity is a marker of good gut health. Just taking the probiotic is not enough, however. You have to feed the bacteria that you are eating. This requires “pre-biotics,” that is, fiber from beans and leafy vegetables. Vitamin C - at this point, everyone knows they need Vitamin C, but few realize that this vitamin is easily oxidized. So that bottle of orange juice that’s been sitting in your fridge for 4 days… you’re not getting much Vitamin C from it. Certain vegetables like bell peppers have more Vitamin C than oranges even, but they must be consumed raw, without cutting them up. Leaving the cut vegetable out in the air for just 20min will destroy the vitamin, so Christy recommends you eat them whole instead, or supplement with a pill, 500mg 2x/day. Don’t over supplement though — high doses can cause osmotic diarrhea. Like Vitamin D, Vitamin C prevents illnesses which may result from the added stress of training. Studies looking at elite athletes (with very strenuous training schedules) determined that Vitamin C reduced the likelihood of illnesses like upper respiratory infections. But once you have a cold, Vitamin C won’t help cure it. Look for the USP seal on all vitamins, which indicates a third-party has verified the potency and ingredients.

We all know that some level of fitness, or aerobic conditioning, is necessary for life. Whether it's for sport, physical activities (like hiking, biking, or throwing the frisbee), or simply to minimize the risk of cardiac and metabolic disease, conditioning must play a role in our training program. Of course, as discussed in previous episodes barbell training satisfies the criteria for "conditioning," being a form of short, intense exercise similar to the high intensity interval training (HIIT) employed in circuit training, Crossfit, and the like. But why? Robert Santana and fellow Registered Dietician and PhD Christy Alexon join us today to explain. The body utilizes ATP, adenosine triphosphate, to do stuff like stand up, walk around, climb a tree, pick up a box, etc. ATP is readily available in our muscle cells but in small amounts -- enough for 10-15 seconds of strenuous activity, but no more. Obviously many physical tasks involve strenuous activity lasting much longer than 15 seconds, so why don't we keel over once the initial ATP is used up? The answer lies in bioenergetics, that is, the network of energy systems the body uses to deliver ATP to the muscle cells. There are three major types of energy systems: "Anaerobic" or phosphocreatine -- ATP stored directly in the muscle cells; high energy output, very short duration Anaerobic glycolysis -- the breakdown of glycogen (a blob of glucose molecules, or carbohydrate, stored in the muscles and liver) into ATP; medium energy output, medium duration Aerobic (oxidative) glycolysis -- the use of oxygen as fuel to breakdown carbohydrate and fat into ATP; low energy output, long duration These systems do not work independently, but rather concurrently; as you lift a heavy set of five, the phosphagen system dominates, but glucose is being broken down and the aerobic glycolytic cycle is upregulated in anticipation of more activity. Therefore, weight training provides a conditioning effect because it trains the aerobic energy systems, albeit indirectly. After all, that is what conditioning is: the capacity for sustained aerobic activity, typically measured by VO2 max in the lab. Many novices wonder whether they should be doing "conditioning work" in addition to the main barbell lifts. The answer, for a novice, is no (though exceptions may apply to morbidly obese trainees who require additional calorie burn for emergency weight loss). The barbell training alone constitutes enough conditioning work to satisfy general health needs, and any additional work would simply interfere with recovery... and as Barbell Logic has made the case repeatedly, getting stronger will make a bigger impact on performance and health than any other fitness attribute at this point. For intermediates and beyond, the answer varies. For general health, i.e. minimizing the risk of heart disease and metabolic disorders like diabetes, strength training combined with regular physical activity (walking, hiking, biking) is sufficient. Sports with an endurance component will require more conditioning, which may interfere with the acquisition of strength. It's rare to see a marathoner with a big squat.
