Balmy breezes carry the sounds of chirping birds, humming insects, and the carefree shouts of children at play. The distinctive cha-cha-cha of the sprinkler invites us to frolic in the lush green grass, alternately embracing or dodging the icy spray. It's a moment of pure release; a feeling of gratitude for just being alive. Then the stuttering cycle begins again, stretching to the far corners of the lawn. This is the quintessential sound of summer! ---

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 20, 2023 is: balmy • BAH-mee • adjective Balmy is an adjective that is often used to describe weather that is warm, calm, and pleasant. It can also be used to describe someone or something (such as an idea) that is foolish or irrational. // After a long, eight-hour drive, we were rewarded with a mild, balmy evening at our vacation spot on the shores of Lake Erie. // Despite being a devout Green Bay fan, she finds the idea of attending games in head-to-toe yellow and green body paint to be a bit balmy. See the entry > Examples: “While our warmer winters have caused some of these dinosaur-like birds to remain in southern Michigan all year long, most are just now returning from balmier winter locales like Mexico and Cuba. You're most likely to find sandhill cranes this time of year in wet meadows, marshy areas and agricultural fields, though if you learn their distinctive, prehistoric-sounding call, you can also hear them as they flock overhead this season.” — Emily Bingham, MLive.com (Grand Rapids, Michigan), 14 Mar. 2023 Did you know? Aromatic ointments and fragrances are the bomb. They are also, literally, balms: healing substances and soothing scents with the power to ease both mind and body. The original balm, what Latin-speakers referred to as balsamum, was the oleoresin of a species of balsam tree. In Anglo-French, balsamum became basme and baume, spellings which entered Middle English and later became balm. Balm eventually begat the adjective balmy, used to describe things with a balm's comforting, calming qualities, as when Shakespeare's Othello speaks of “balmy slumbers.” Today balmy is typically used to describe the weather—balmy breezes, balmy temperatures, balmy spring afternoons, et al—conditions that are neither too hot nor too cold, but just right—Goldilocks conditions, even.

As Elis sat down to present this week's slightly shorter show he turned to his right to see an empty chair. It's the place where John Robins would usually sit himself down to broadcast to the nation, but today he was nowhere to be seen. Thankfully, all Elis had to do was turn his head 30 degrees to the left to look at his computer screen to see Johnny JR staring right back at him, ready to battle through 60 minutes of top quality radio. Yes, due to factors John was unable to be in the studio with Elis and Producer Dave for the show today; but thanks to the power of technology (and sheer will power) he was still able to join in the fun from home. The guys play a makeshift Made Up Game, a football-based law is debated in Petty Parliament, and Dave answers the call of duty… by sharing his emergency scripted intro.

This episode: Warmth helps mice build stronger bones, mediated by bacteria producing certain compounds! Download Episode (6.8 MB, 9.9 minutes) Show notes: Microbe of the episode: Aquaspirillum serpens   News item Takeaways Bones aren't just solid, structural supports for the body's tissues. They're active and alive, housing important components of the immune system, and also capable of being broken down and built up in response to changes in the body's interactions with the environment. Various things can affect bone mass and health, including nutrition, temperature, age, and even the body's microbes.   In this study, two of these effects are found to interact. Warmth leads to increased bone density in mice, and this effect can be attributed to the microbes in the mice, and transmitted from one mouse to another just by transplanting microbes adapted to warmth. Even the particular chemicals the microbes produce that mediate this effect are discovered.

Highlights: a rare Famous recording session courtesy of historian Mark Newgarden! Bob remembers directing Sid Raymond, the original Baby Huey! The history of animator George Rufle! And how "Popeye Man" Johnny Gent directed a sequence in our highlighted cartoon, possibly the new collection's only standout, A Balmy Swami!

It was a beautiful summer’s weekend. Balmy temperatures that meant T-shirts all day and all night.  A pristine day in Wellington as India handed New Zealand another comprehensive lesson in how to play one day cricket. I watched the game with a beer and my youngest son who’s enjoying a fantastic summer before returning to university in the capital.So who can believe that pre season Super Rugby was being played and the official season is now less than two weeks away. Madness.But the Blues were playing the Chiefs in Kaikohe. To be honest the Blues were spanking the Chiefs in Kaikohe but that is not the news. The news was that 4000 people sold out the local ground and it was a great day. Simon Wilson has written a lovely story about the fun and festivities and the aroha that surrounded the players for an afternoon in February.But not all the story. He does mention that nobody stayed in the town. The Blues were in a hotel in Waitangi while the Chiefs bunked down in Whangarei. But what wasn’t mentioned was that there was a tangi happening the same weekend and the departed was big in gang circles.The main drag of Kaikohe was awash with gang members and their bikes. The pub was taking overnight guests but the publican had closed his bar, on a game day, for fear that the tangi commemorations might get, how shall we say, a little frenetic. But the weekend passed without incident.So it was another weekend where the two sides of the Kaikohe coin were once again plain. Good people, in a great place, celebrating a good community event but a meth and gang fuelled undercurrent never far from the surface.Simon Wilson also noticed another interesting aspect to the day. Throughout the official ceremonies and speechifying, and through all the proud moments of how awesome Kaikohe was, there appeared to be not one word of Maori spoken. Not even a kia ora from the mayor of the Far North, John Carter. As Simon says, “it was as if they were blind to the people they were talking to”. I don’t know if it was purposeful but if it wasn’t then that actually makes it even more insidious.It strikes me that a lot of this is about pride. Pride in people and pride in place. You can’t really expect the people to be proud of the place if there are other people still not proud of a people’s language.In this week of Waitangi, in 2019, it still amazes me that some people are still so dismissive of the Maori language. And now I’ll be besieged by people calling the language dead and irrelevant.And then there’ll be the people calling for us to become one people. I think all those advocates still haven’t realised that becoming one people cuts both ways.

Listen to this dialogue between Maya and Gabrielle as they talk about learning to surf. See if you can pick out the 4 IELTS vocabulary words as you listen. Dialogue Part 1 Maya: You know what I’ve been thinking about a lot the past few weeks? Gabrielle: What? Maya: I think it’s time for us to properly learn how to surf. Gabrielle: Yeah, for sure! I would love to actually be able to surf. I really enjoyed that surf lesson we had in San Diego. I’ve wanted to surf since I was in high school, but since I’ve never had my own car, it’s always seemed impossible to get a surfboard to and from the beach. Maya: Well my new place is so close to the water...we could probably just walk with our boards. Gabrielle: That’s true...that’s true. So is that what made you decide that now is the time to finally learn to surf for real?   Maya: Well, yeah, first of all, we’re so close to the beach...it’s not like in Oregon. Back then we’d have to plan a whole weekend trip just to get to the coast. Gabrielle: Yeah, who has the time for that?! Especially when the beaches are always so chilly! Like it’s not fun to hang out on the beach when it’s cold, and I don’t want to have to wear a full wetsuit just to get in the water. Maya: Right. Do you remember the last time we went out to the Oregon coast? It was literally pouring down rain and sleet...the road was so icy I thought we’d never even make it to the beach. Gabrielle: Yeah, that definitely made surfing seem way less appealing to me. Maya: Right?! Anyway, yeah, so now that we’ve been blessed with a house close to the beach and such beautiful, balmy weather, I think we should learn how to surf for real. Gabrielle: That makes sense. It’s just intimidating to start something new I guess...I hate being a beginner. Once I tried to learn how to ice skate, but I got really frustrated because there were all these little kids there who were extremely good, and I could barely stand up. It’s just sort of embarrassing to be surrounded by people who are much better than you at the activity you’re doing. Maya: Yeah I feel the same, but I think we really need to learn how to be okay with not being perfect at everything. That’s the only way to learn new skills! You have to start somewhere. Gabrielle: Yeah. You’re right. So where do we start? Maya: Well this weekend definitely isn’t the time. Have you noticed how weird the weather has been? Gabrielle: Yeah, it’s kind of strangely humid and overcast all of a sudden. Isn’t there a word for that?  Maya: Yeah, it’s muggy. So the reason it went from being super hot and sunny to actually kind of chilly, and then overcast but hot and humid over the course of two days is because there’s a tropical cyclone coming in from the north this week. Gabrielle: Oh, I just remembered that Colin texted me last night to say that he couldn’t sleep because it was so muggy up north where he’s working this week. I haven’t heard that word used a lot before. But I guess it’s typical cyclone weather! Anyways, he also said that he’s annoyed he has to be at work when the surf is so good down south right now. Maya: Yeah, exactly -- so what’s happening is that this cyclone is coming in from the ocean and heading down the coast this weekend, and that creates these specials winds, which I guess make the surf really huge. Everyone’s heading down south to surf right now. And apparently these weather conditions only happen once every ten years or something.  Gabrielle: Okay, I see. So there are some super special waves coming in right now, but they’re probably too big for beginners like us. Maya: Yeah. Gabrielle: To be honest I don’t think I would be able to get all the surfing gear together by this weekend anyways, so the cyclone doesn’t really make a difference. Maya: True Gabrielle: But it is nice to have some overcast days for once. Not that I don’t love the sunshine and the balmy beach weather, but it becomes kind of old after a few months. Plus I feel like I’ve been getting sunburned every time I go outside. Maya: For sure. Well maybe we can try and find some surfboards next week? I’ll be done with summer school after Thursday.

Dialogue Part 2 Gabrielle: Okay, that sounds good. I think my aunt might have some extra ones at her house actually.   Maya: Oh that would be fantastic. I have no idea how much a surfboard costs, but I assume they’re not cheap. Gabrielle: Yeah, I definitely saw at least one board the last time I was over at her place. And even if she only has one, we could probably borrow that one and then just split the cost of the second board. Maya:  Great, that works for me! Okay so, do you think that we will need wetsuits? The water here is pretty warm, but I assume it gets chilly when you’re out in the water for a few hours at a time. Gabrielle: I don’t think I’ve seen anyone in wetsuits. You probably stay warm from the physical activity...remember how it was in San Diego? The water wasn’t all that warm, but you’re moving constantly so it’s not a problem. Maya: You’re right...I probably will have to buy a one-piece swimsuit though. My bikini is fine for swimming, but it’s probably not the best for getting knocked around in the waves. Gabrielle: Yeah, okay, let’s go look for swimsuits this weekend. Wow my hair is so frizzy today, this humidity is really too much for me. Maya: I kind of like that it’s muggy, it reminds me of when I was in Bali. But also I don’t have to deal with the frizz because my hair is in braids, so I guess it’s not as much of a problem for me.   Gabrielle: What would you say is your favorite kind of weather? Maya: Hmm, I think it really depends. I just like variety. Obviously a mild balmy climate is the best, but like I said before, even that gets old after a while. And actually, I don’t mind “bad” weather. It feels so nice and cozy to stay inside when there’s really nasty rain or sleet. Gabrielle: Ugh but sleet is the worst! You don’t drive, so you don’t know what it’s like to have to deal with the roads being icy. It’s terrible. Maya: Yeah, I guess you’re right. But you don’t even have a car right now! Anyways I don’t think the weather will even get that bad here in the winter, we’re too far south. Gabrielle: Yeah, that’s why I moved here! Maya: That was a very good call. Okay so this weekend we’ll get swimsuits, and you ask your aunt about the surfboards. Gabrielle: Sounds perfect. So do you think we should...I don’t know...take lessons? Maya: Yeah, I think if I just tried to go out into the water without any instruction I wouldn’t actually be able to surf at all. I just don’t remember how to do it. And plus if we learn with bad form it’ll make things more difficult later. Gabrielle: Okay, yeah, you’re right. How much do you think lessons cost? Maya: No idea. How about I’ll look into that, and you try to get us the boards. Gabrielle: Sweet, sounds like a plan. I’m so excited that we’re finally going to learn how to surf. I think this could be really great. Maya: Yeah, I’ve always wanted to surf, I just never made the commitment before. But I think we’re finally ready. Plus we can support each other through the difficult beginning part. It’s always nice to have a friend to learn new skills with. I’m so glad you want to do this with me! Gabrielle: Absolutely, I couldn’t agree more. So how did you do? Did you hear and understand all of the vocabulary words?

Let’s get started. I’d like to introduce you to your teacher, Eliot. He is the Magoosh IELTS expert and, here’s a fun fact about Eliot: Eliot grew up in a part of the U.S. known for tornadoes and had to hide in the basement on more than one occasion. Eliot Intro Hello Magoosh IELTS podcast listeners, welcome to today’s show. I’m Eliot, the IELTS expert from Magoosh. Today, we’re going to look at four words that will be useful for the Speaking section of the IELTS. It’s common for questions about weather and climate to come up during the Speaking section, so we’re going to go over a few good vocab words that you can use to talk about different kinds of weather. As always, make sure to go to the link in the show notes to get the full list of vocabulary words. The theme for the words in today’s episode is weather, and ways to describe different types of weather. Chilly So let’s get started. The first word on our list is chilly. So let’s start with that one, okay? Chilly...what does chilly mean? Well, when describing weather, “chilly” means cold in a way that is uncomfortable. Chilly is similar to the word “cold”. However, we mostly use “chilly” to describe weather, or how weather makes us feel, whereas the word “cold” can be used to describe anything that’s low in temperature. For example, on the first cold day of autumn, people would probably describe the weather as chilly. They may also describe themselves as chilly, if they happen to get caught outside without a jacket! On the other hand, the word “cold” can be used to describe a much wider variety of things than the word chilly. When you put your leftover pizza in the refrigerator, the pizza will become cold. But we wouldn’t describe the pizza as chilly. We just use chilly to talk about weather that’s cold enough to make us uncomfortable. So, that’s chilly. Muggy The next word is muggy. Okay, “muggy” means very hot and humid. Like chilly, muggy is really only used to describe weather. This makes sense when you think about it, because air is the only thing that can be humid. Humid air is air that has a lot of water vapor in it.  So for weather to be muggy, it would have to not only be hot, but also humid. Some climates – like the tropics – have a lot of muggy weather, while other climates – like the mountains – will almost never have weather that’s muggy. And don’t forget, humidity is a key part of what makes weather muggy. So weather in a desert climate probably wouldn’t be muggy, because even though deserts get very hot, there typically won’t be much water vapor in the air. Like chilly weather, muggy weather can make us uncomfortable. Most people dislike muggy weather, because when the air is muggy it can be difficult to stay cool, and you get very sticky.  So that’s muggy. Balmy The next word is balmy. Finally some good weather! Balmy means a comfortable outdoor temperature, not too hot and not too cold, usually with some gentle wind. We could also describe balmy weather as mild, or temperate. Although balmy weather isn’t too hot, it’s still warm. Just think of what it’s like on a really nice day summer day, when it’s not too hot, but you don’t have to wear a jacket.  It’s no surprise that balmy weather is something that most people enjoy. For example, a lot of people choose to vacation in places where the weather is balmy, so they can enjoy spending time outside. Balmy weather is pleasant and warm, but not too hot. So that’s balmy. Sleet The final word today is sleet. So far, all of our words in this episode have been adjectives. Adjectives are words that describe something. In this case, we have been describing weather, by talking about the weather’s temperature and how it makes us feel. Sleet is different, because sleet is a noun, meaning it’s a thing rather than a description.  Sleet is a mix of snow and rain, falling together from the sky. Sleet is similar to frozen rain (which we call hail). However, sleet is not completely frozen, so it’s not solid like hail. Just imagine snow mixed with water. It’s very wet, icy snow, raining down. You wouldn’t want to get caught outside without an umbrella and a warm coat when there’s sleet coming down. Many people also try to avoid driving their cars when sleet has been falling, because sleet can make roads icy.   So that’s sleet Great!

People read books for the strangest of reasons.I recently read a book about a female aviator in Africa in the 1930s. I have no interest in aviation. I have no interest in Africa. But it was a great book. I began reading it after I stumbled onto something Ernest Hemingway wrote in a 1942 letter to his friend, Maxwell Perkins.“Did you read Beryl Markham's book, West with the Night? I knew her fairly well in Africa and never would have suspected that she could and would put pen to paper except to write in her flyer's logbook. As it is, she has written so well, and marvelously well, that I was completely ashamed of myself as a writer. I felt that I was simply a carpenter with words, picking up whatever was furnished on the job and sometimes making an okay pigpen. But this girl who is, to my knowledge, very unpleasant,… can write rings around all of us who consider ourselves as writers. The only parts of it that I know about personally, on account of having been there at the time and heard the other people's stories, are absolutely true. So, you have to take as truth the early stuff about when she was a child which is absolutely superb. She omits some very fantastic stuff which I know about which would destroy much of the character of the heroine; but what is that anyhow in writing? I wish you would get it and read it because it is really a bloody wonderful book.” How can you resist a recommendation like that?Here are a few sentences from the book:“A map says to you. Read me carefully, follow me closely, doubt me not… I am the earth in the palm of your hand.” “Harmony comes gradually to a pilot and his plane. The wing does not want so much to fly true as to tug at the hands that guide it; the ship would rather hunt the wind than lay her nose to the horizon far ahead. She has a derelict quality in her character; she toys with freedom and hints at liberation, but yields her own desires gently.” “The hills, the forests, the rocks, and the plains are one with the darkness, and the darkness is infinite. The earth is no more your planet than is a distant star – if a star is shining; the plane is your planet and you are its sole inhabitant.” Looking down from her plane she sees a herd of impala, wildebeest and zebra,“It was not like a herd of cattle or of sheep, because it was wild, and it carried with it the stamp of wilderness and the freedom of a land still more a possession of Nature than of men. To see ten thousand animals untamed and not branded with the symbols of human commerce is like scaling an unconquered mountain for the first time, or like finding a forest without roads or footpaths, or the blemish of an axe. You know then what you had always been told — that the world once lived and grew without adding machines and newsprint and brick-walled streets and the tyranny of clocks.” Most of the book isn't really about flying at all. It's about looking and seeing and living in the world around you.“Toomba's grin spreads over his wide face like a ripple in a pond… He grins until there is no more room for both the grin and his eyes, so his eyes disappear.” “The trail ran north to Molo; at night it ran straight to the stars. It ran up the side of the Mau Escarpment until at ten thousand feet it found the plateau and rested there, and some of the stars burned beneath its edge.” Writing about a young horse named Balmy, Markham said,“She was neither vicious nor stubborn, she was very fast on the track, and she responded intelligently to training… Had she made her debut on Park Avenue in the middle thirties instead of on the race-course at Nairobi in the middle twenties, she would have been counted as one of those intellectually irresponsible individuals always referred to as being ‘delightfully mad.' Her madness, of course, consisted simply of a penchant for doing things that, in the opinions of her stable mates, weren't being done. No well-brought-up filly, for instance, while being exercised before
