With more people employed in the parking industry then as full time soldiers are they up to the job of giving Putin a ticket?

This week, NüVoices editor and board member Jessie Lau speaks to returning guest Barbara Demick about her new book, Daughters of the Bamboo Grove: From China to America, a True Story of Abduction, Adoption, and Separated Twins.In this episode, Barbara describes the journey of writing about twin sisters who were born in China, forcibly separated, and finally reunited through her investigative reporting. She and Jessie discuss how the book explores the historical and political nuances regarding China's One Child Policy and Family Planning institution, as well as challenges common narratives about Chinese adoptees in the US. Barbara also zooms into the powerful, emotional moment of the sisters reuniting and the two families meeting for the first time.

Wealth is not just about how much you earn. True wealth is about what you own. For decades, ownership in Africa has been blocked by policies, gatekeepers, and limited access to global markets. That's the gap Bamboo set out to close. Founded in 2019 by Richmond Bassey and Yanmo Omorogbe, Bamboo is more than a startup. It is infrastructure designed to help Africans invest in the world's biggest companies and, for the first time, truly own a piece of the future.This documentary takes you inside Bamboo's journey. It begins with the problem—why Africans couldn't access wealth the way others could. Then it moves into the origin story: two founders who saw a gap no one else saw and felt it deeply enough to build the solution. From launching in 2019, to joining Y Combinator in 2020, to scaling with products built for Africa's realities, Bamboo has consistently focused on one mission: helping Africans build wealth from the ground up.Bamboo isn't only about stocks. It's about confidence, education, and tools that empower a generation to own their financial future. Whether through U.S. stocks, Nigerian stocks, Fixed Returns, or the 2024 launch of Misan—a remittance product designed to make money movement seamless—Bamboo is proving that wealth building is bigger than investing. It's about access, ownership, and the freedom to shape your future.This film highlights Bamboo's people and culture: the engineers, marketers, and operators behind the product. It shows why campaigns matter not just to advertise, but to build confidence. It celebrates the users—ordinary Africans rewriting their financial stories. And it looks ahead at Bamboo's vision: an Africa where wealth building is accessible, systematic, and generational.For anyone interested in startups, investing, wealth building, or the future of Africa's economy, this is more than a documentary. It's a story of resilience, innovation, and mission-driven leadership. The truest measure of Bamboo's success is not just valuation, but impact: how much its users are worth because of it.Watch as Bamboo redefines what it means to invest, build, and own. This is not just the story of a company. It's the story of Africa's wealth revolution.If you found this inspiring, don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe.

Nestled along Mexico's Pacific coast, David Leventhal's Playa Viva is redefining hospitality through a radical commitment to regenerative design. More than just a boutique hotel, it's a living ecosystem where architecture breathes, nature flows freely, and every material tells a story of sustainability.Imagine waking in a treehouse suspended among palm trees, with no doors or windows—just an uninterrupted connection to the landscape. This is Leventhal's vision: hospitality that doesn't just minimize environmental impact, but actively regenerates it.The resort's structures are poetry in natural materials. Bamboo "bones" form parabolic roofs, carefully woven and raised by hand. Shower floors become canvases of meticulously placed pebbles, each stone positioned with artisan precision. Wall pigments are sourced locally—rich oranges and browns extracted directly from mountain landscapes, mixed with unconventional ingredients like hay, horse manure, and even turtle eggshells."We're not just building rooms," Leventhal explains, "we're creating experiences that transform how humans interact with environment."This transformation begins with radical design choices. Solar panels provide 100% off-grid electricity. Air conditioning is minimised, with innovative systems like the "Evening Breeze" technology cooling only specific areas. The goal isn't comfort through separation, but comfort through connection.The resort sits on 200 acres of regenerating landscape, including a critical turtle sanctuary. Local community members—many former poachers—now protect endangered turtle species, releasing hatchlings at dawn under careful supervision.The broader ReSiMar project demonstrates Leventhal's systemic approach to ecological restoration. Starting from mountain headwaters and extending to the coastline, this watershed regeneration initiative has already documented remarkable recoveries, including recent jaguar sightings in the Sierra Madre Mountains.What makes Playa Viva revolutionary isn't just its sustainable infrastructure, but its philosophical approach. Each design decision emerges from deep respect for place—understanding geological, anthropological, and ecological histories before a single structure is built.Guests aren't passive observers but active participants in this regenerative narrative. Yoga retreats, farm experiences, and community engagement transform vacationing from consumption to connection. The resort's B-Corp certification and recent Michelin keys underscore its commitment to excellence through ecological integrity.Leventhal's background in media and technology might seem an unlikely pathway to ecological design. Yet his journey reveals how personal transformation drives systemic change. "Change happens little by little," he reflects, "until it happens all at once."This philosophy permeates every aspect of Playa Viva. The manta ray-inspired treehouses, the infinity casita with its locally sourced manufactured wood, the organic farm—each element represents a deliberate choice to work with, not against, natural systems.For travellers seeking more than a temporary escape, Playa Viva offers a glimpse of possible futures. Here, luxury isn't about isolation and excess, but about deep, meaningful engagement with living landscapes.As climate challenges intensify, Leventhal's model provides a compelling blueprint. Regenerative design isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. By reimagining hospitality as a collaborative dance with ecological systems, Playa Viva demonstrates that sustainable travel can be both profoundly beautiful and transformative.The resort whispers an essential truth: humans aren't separate from nature, but integral participants in complex, interconnected living systems. And in that understanding lies our most profound opportunity for healing—one treehouse, one turtle, one thoughtfully placed pebble at a time.https://www.playaviva.comhttps://oceanfdn.org/projects/la-tortuga-viva/Have a listen to the podcast we did with Louis Thompson, partner of Nomadic Resorts mentioned by David.

Bamboo is an emerging threat that's quietly taking root in gardens and, increasingly, in legal disputes according to Emily Grant, Director of Operations at Environet UK, who joins the latest Today's Conveyancer podcast.Emily is a seasoned environmental scientist and a familiar voice in the conveyancing space, having provided expertise on Japanese knotweed and other invasive species. With the spotlight on bamboo she explains the risks it poses to property and how to identify it; including the difference between clump-forming and running bamboo, highlighting the latter's ability to spread aggressively through soil, under fences, and even into buildings. Emily shares real-world horror stories of bamboo infiltrating floor voids, damaging patios, and even sprouting through kitchen appliances. Unlike Japanese knotweed, bamboo isn't currently covered by legislation or flagged on the TA6 form, making it a hidden risk for buyers and conveyancers alike.The conversation explores the blurred lines of responsibility between surveyors, conveyancers, and homeowners. Emily stresses the importance of early identification and professional remediation, especially as nuisance claims related to bamboo encroachment become more common. She also touches on the lack of public awareness and the need for education across the property sector.And providing advice for conveyancers and home movers, Emily wraps up saying whether bamboo is present or suspected, don't ignore it—recommend a specialist report and protect clients from costly surprises. With remediation bills running into the tens of thousands, for the cost of a report home owners and conveyancers can be reassured one way or the other.The Today's Conveyancer podcast can be found on your preferred podcast provider and also at www.todaysconveyancer.co.uk.

Dans le supplément de ce samedi, Grand reportage week-end vous emmène tout d'abord sur le continent africain. À cheval sur Niger, Nigeria, Cameroun et Tchad, le lac qui diminuait comme peau de chagrin ces dernières décennies, a regagné de la surface au gré d'un pluvieux changement climatique. C'est une région reculée en crise alimentaire, en proie aux raids de la secte islamiste et aux opérations militaires. En deuxième partie, nous irons en Chine. Notre envoyée spéciale permanente nous dira tout de l'industrie du bambou, bambou qui se veut en concurrence avec le plastique. Le bambou plus écologique, mais la bataille n'est pas gagnée.   Sur les rives du lac Tchad, une guerre sans fin contre Boko Haram et la montée des eaux  Vu du ciel, le lac Tchad se profile en de petites flaques, de plus en plus larges jusqu'à l'émergence d'une limite entre l'eau et la terre. Des contours flous pour une vaste étendue marécageuse entre sables et ilots de verdure aux confins du Niger, du Nigéria, du Cameroun et du Tchad. Le lac n'est pas en train de s'assécher, comme on l'a longtemps cru. Il s'étend. Notamment sous l'effet du changement climatique, aggravant la crise alimentaire et sécuritaire sur ses rivages martyrisés depuis plus d'une décennie par Boko Haram. La secte islamiste et ses deux factions rivales a été affaiblie par les opérations militaires, mais elle marque encore la région par ses attentats suicides, rapts, viols et raids contre des civils. Avec la participation de Joris Bolomey et le soutien logistique du CICR, d'Acted, Concern et Handicap International.  Un Grand reportage de Carol Valade qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix. Usine à ciel ouvert, le pari du bambou  Le bambou en Chine n'est plus seulement un symbole culturel : il devient une arme verte, un levier pour relever le défi écologique. À Anji, au cœur du Zhejiang, cette plante façonne le paysage, mais aussi l'économie. Artisanat, tourisme, architecture, ustensiles du quotidien… La grande et souple plante s'impose partout, portée par une stratégie nationale baptisée « Bamboo for Plastic ». Ici, traditions et innovations se croisent pour bâtir un « made in China » plus durable.  Un Grand reportage de Cléa Broadhurst qui s'entretient avec Jacques Allix.      

Today, we're meeting Tofu, an extraordinarily lazy panda, who bamboozles the other animals into bringing him bamboo to chomp on by pretending he's a karate master. Only, the thing is, the village is about to come under attack from business men who want to mow down their crops and take all the bamboo for themselves. The animals come to Tofu for help, and his lies are exposed. Can he come up with a plan to redeem himself and save the village?

I can feel it," Mei said resolutely.Zh: 她想在节日之前找到它，以纪念她的祖母。En: She wanted to find it before the festival, to commemorate her grandmother.Zh: 家豪紧跟在梅后面，他暗暗下定决心，要在今天表达他的心意。En: Jiahao followed closely behind Mei, secretly determined to express his feelings today.Zh: “不要担心，我们一定能成功。”他鼓励道。En: "Don't worry, we'll definitely succeed," he encouraged.Zh: 丽芬不太相信竹林里的传说，但为了梅，她也愿意投入这场寻找。En: Lifen didn't quite believe in the legends of the bamboo forest, but for Mei, she was willing to join this search.Zh: “我还是觉得有点不安，听说这里有神秘的守护灵。”她小声说。En: "I still feel a bit uneasy. I've heard there are mysterious guardian spirits here," she whispered.Zh: 走了不知多久，他们发现了一个藏着灯笼的地方。En: After walking for an unknown amount of time, they discovered a place hiding the lantern.Zh: 就在他们欣喜若狂时，天空突然乌云密布，暴雨来临了。En: Just as they were ecstatic, the sky suddenly became overcast, and a torrential rain began.Zh: 雨水打湿了地面，泥泞四溢，灯笼被卷起，顺着水流向竹林深处。En: The rain soaked the ground, turning it muddy, and the lantern was swept away, carried by the water deeper into the forest.Zh: 梅和家豪冲过去，试图抓住灯笼。En: Mei and Jiahao rushed forward, attempting to catch the lantern.Zh: 丽芬也加入了，三人合力最终抓住了灯笼。En: Lifen also joined in, and together, the three of them managed to finally catch the lantern.Zh: “我们成功了！”梅高兴得差点哭出声来。En: "We did it!" Mei almost cried out in happiness.Zh: 他们披着湿透的衣服，终于带着灯笼回到了村子，正好赶上月亮升起的时刻。En: Draped in their soaked clothes, they finally returned to the village with the lantern, just in time to see the moon rise.Zh: 村子里到处是灯火和欢乐的笑声。En: The village was filled with lights and joyous laughter.Zh: 家豪鼓起勇气，对梅说：“我一直很喜欢你，从小到大。”En: Jiahao mustered the courage to say to Mei, "I've always liked you, from childhood until now."Zh: 梅愣住了，接着脸红起来。En: Mei was stunned, then blushed.Zh: “谢谢你，家豪。”En: "Thank you, Jiahao."Zh: 这趟冒险让梅意识到，除了传家宝灯笼，亲情与朋友之间的羁绊同样重要。En: This adventure made Mei realize that, aside from the family heirloom lantern, the bonds between family and friends are equally important.Zh: 三人坐在灯火下，分享着月饼，看着满月，他们感受到节日的温暖和美好。En: The three of them sat under the lights, sharing mooncakes and gazing at the full moon, feeling the warmth and beauty of the festival.Zh: 中秋节的夜晚，因为找到祖母的灯笼，也因为彼此的心意，变得更加难忘。En: The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, because of finding the grandmother's lantern and their feelings for each other, became all the more unforgettable.

Send us a textGrab your Big Bamboo cocktail and join us for a hilariously critical look at Disney's 1960 adventure classic, Swiss Family Robinson! We're sipping on this tropical concoction from Animal Kingdom's Yak and Yeti restaurant while breaking down why this beloved film might be the most delightfully implausible survival story ever told.From the impossibly quick construction of an elaborate treehouse to Francis's supernatural ability to tame wild animals in seconds flat, we dissect the charming absurdities that make this film both frustrating and endearing. How does a supposedly Swiss family speak with perfect British and American accents? Why would you bring a harpsichord to shore but leave the cannon on the shipwreck? And most importantly, how does Francis repeatedly avoid death despite his best efforts to court disaster at every turn?The final battle sequence draws our special attention as we compare it to the Ewok scenes from Return of the Jedi – complete with improbable booby traps, physics-defying coconut throws, and pirates who couldn't hit the broad side of a barn despite the Robinson family standing in plain sight. We even cast our dream lineup for a modern remake, with Hugh Jackman leading our fantasy Robinson clan.Whether you're a longtime fan who grew up dreaming of living in that magnificent treehouse or you're discovering this Disney classic for the first time, our affectionate roasting celebrates everything that makes Swiss Family Robinson the perfect family-friendly adventure film – logical flaws and all. Pour yourself something tropical and join us for this journey into nostalgic Disney absurdity!Here's who we are and what is in store for you

In today's episode, we farewell one of the OG's of Crypto Curious. That's right, Craig is being cancelled!!! But before we get too misty-eyed, we're kicking off with something very on-brand for Craig: a bullish Ethereum update that might just make you want to double down. If you've been with us from the start, you'll know Craig's been waving the ETH flag since day one — so it's only fitting.Then, we dive into a bombshell from the deep pockets of Bitcoin history. One of the original Satoshi-era whales has just moved a jaw-dropping 80,000 BTC — that's over $9 billion worth — and exited the market. What does it mean? We've got thoughts.And finally, as Craig signs off from his regular spot on the pod, we turn the mic squarely on him. It's time for a no-holds-barred hot seat moment: his predictions, market sentiment, and maybe even some long-hoarded alpha. This is Craig's crystal ball episode

Although South Louisiana does not provide the easiest growing conditions, when fueled by passion and obsession, it's amazing what can be done. On this week's show, we introduce you to some real alternative thinkers who are successfully cultivating the unusual and the exotic. We begin with a trip to the SG Tiki Farm just across the state line in Pearlington, Mississippi. There, Chef Ernie Foundas grows exotic fruits and vegetables used in the dishes he serves at his restaurant in New Orleans' Bywater neighborhood, Suis Generis. With a passion for sustainability, both Ernie and his partner Adrienne Bell use every scrap of food to achieve a zero-waste model in their restaurant. Then, we head down to New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward to meet bamboo guru Mark Sanders – founder of Ninth Ward Nursery. He tells the story of turning his bamboo obsession into a business. Finally, get ready to see bamboo on your dinner plate. We chat with Kay Koppedrayer, author of Cooking With Bamboo, who shares how she came to make bamboo part of her family's diet and how you can do the same.

In this episode, Kathy and I unpack how we reduced our exposure to environmental toxins—from improving tap water safety and installing water filtration systems, to replacing plastic containers and upgrading to non-toxic cookware. We talk about chlorine exposure in showers and pools, how we built a more toxin-free home, and why choosing organic food and chemical-free living matters more than you think. Got questions or already making changes at home? Drop a comment—we'd love to hear from you.
