In this powerful follow-up to our conversation with their mother, Belinda Peters, Stewart sits down with Matt, Josh, and Ben Peters—three brothers who grew up as their father battled early onset dementia, leaving their mother to take on far more responsibility as a parent, carer, and wife than she had ever expected. After hearing Belinda's story of faith and strength as a parent, this episode offers a moving and deeply insightful perspective from the children navigating that same storm.Matt, Josh, and Ben open up about the impact of their father's illness on their upbringing, the quiet strength they witnessed in their mother, how their faith helped them find resilience amidst the pain, and what it was like to lose a parent at such a young age. They reflect on the role of their church community, the importance of showing up for others, and why it's possible to emerge from hardship with both hope and purpose.Their story highlights the power of vulnerability, the value of ongoing support, and the strength that comes from holding onto faith and hope through life's hardest moments.In this episode, you'll discover:What it's like to grow up with a parent facing a deteriorating illness and ultimately death.How a parent's faith and intentionality can provide stability and hope.The importance of showing up for others—even when you don't know what to say.Why having a strong community around you matters for young people.How each brother found purpose in helping others through their own experiences.Practical insights for parents and youth leaders supporting young people through trauma.…and much moreLinks to:The Resilient Souls websiteGet hold of Stewart's bookThe Resilient Souls PodcastThe Resilient Souls BlogLinks to Resilient Souls Socials:Facebook InstagramLinkedInSubstackBook Stewart to speak (Click here)Stay connected with the Resilient Souls Community: Sign up to keep informed hereSupport the work of Resilient Souls: (Click here)Contact Us: (Click here)Links to getting help (locally and overseas): Helpsection on the Resilient Souls website

The Commanders just renamed their stadium in Landover. You might remember it as FedEx Field, well now it's Northwest Field, after Northwest Federal Credit Union.

The Washington Business Journal's Ben Peters has been reporting on the next step the D.C. Government took toward that reality. Want some more DC news?

In deze podcast gaat Ben Peters (CDA Land van Cuijk) uitgebreid in over de mogelijkheid om de bibliotheek in Grave te integreren in De Sociëteit. En om daar vervolgens met meer verenigingen een soort van MFA (Multi Functionele Accommodatie) van te maken. Momenteel wordt daar de Catharinahof voor gebruikt en daar is niet iedereen even gelukkig mee. Het kan overigens wel een kwestie van jaren worden vooraleer daar een besluit over genomen gaat worden. Verder komt het autoluw maken van de binnenstad aan de orde en ook de teambuildingsdag van het CDA Land van Cuijk in Oeffelt. En ook het inloop-uurtje, dat elke tweede vrijdag van de maand van 10 tot 12 uur voor de inwoners van Grave in de bibliotheek wordt gehouden door de Graafse raadsleden.

Ben Peters, co-manager of the TB Evenlode Global Income fund, discusses inflation and says that while very little can be done to help in the short term, in the long-term, equities – and in particular companies that can generate a sustainable dividend – are not a bad place to be. Ben tells us about a recent trip to the US and meetings with the management of Mastercard and Analog Devices. He then reveals whether supply chain issues are improving, before discussing the immediate outlook for markets and the type of companies he hopes will see the fund through a difficult period.What's covered in this episode: How companies that generate dividends can help investors combat inflationWhich sectors of the global economy have been impacted most by cost increasesThe companies the team met on a visit to the USWhat the team learned about Mastercard's businessWhy the team is watching a business called Analog DevicesHow asset-light businesses can give protection against inflationWhat companies are saying about supply chain issuesWhy companies are using cash flow to secure prices and suppliesThe reason why the fund is invested in just 33 companies todayThe manager's outlook for marketsThe fund's approach to net zeroWhy infrastructure is key to renewable energy storyMore about this fund: TB Evenlode Global Income fund invests in companies from all over the world. Managers Ben Peters and Chris Elliott aim to balance the income received today with future dividend growth and take a long-term approach, focusing on quality, cash-generative businesses. They define quality companies as those with three characteristics: asset-light business models; high barriers to entry which can't be disrupted easily; and finally, their customers' decision to buy their product or service should not be determined completely by price.Learn more on fundcalibre.comPlease remember, we've been discussing individual companies to bring investing to life for you.

Ben Peters, co-manager of TB Evenlode Global Income, discusses all things inflation: its impact on individuals, companies, sectors, and different geographies. He explains why demand has remained surprisingly robust, despite the continued rise in prices and why some companies are being slow to pass on their costs to their customers. He also discusses his team's recent trip to the US and pent-up demand for human contact and tells us how the fund has 20% exposure to Asia but only a couple of holdings in Asian companies. What's covered in this episode:How inflation is impacting companies in different sectorsWhy companies are starting to have problems supplying goodsThe impact of China's lockdown on networking hardware and software company CiscoWhy demand is staying surprisingly robust in the face of rising pricesWhy companies are being slower than usual to pass on costs to consumersFirms that can thrive in any environment Why meeting companies on the ground is so important for investorsHow the fund has decent exposure to Asia – without owning many Asian' companiesMore about the fund:TB Evenlode Global Income managers Ben Peters and Chris Elliott believe the market fundamentally underestimates the value of high-quality businesses because of its obsession with short-term events. The fund has four key objectives: grow the dividend on a consistent basis, compound returns at a high annual rate, outperform major global market indices over the long-term and generate returns with lower volatility and downside risk.Learn more on fundcalibre.comPlease remember, we've been discussing individual companies to bring investing to life for you.

In this episode of Project Management Office Hours, Ben Peters and PMO Joe discussed Ben's journey in the PMO space, Portfolio Management along with Engineering and Project Management in Cape Town! Ben's unique experience as professional spans over 18 years within the mining, oil and gas, telecoms, food, health care and the government sectors. With significant experience as a seasoned professional in all aspects of Project Management. As we learn about his story and path into the PMO space he started not within the Project Management field rather an industrial engineering. “After industrial engineering studies, I found myself in the project management space applying those industrial engineering principles—Always be proactive. I am known within the city of Cape Town as an implementer, as a driver, as a continuous enforcer. I'm striving for change. I like change. I'm not waiting for anything because it's just changing your mindset and maximizing those skills in the project management field.” Those early career experiences were setting the stage for a successful Project Management career as he learned the importance of mindset, organization, and management. Ben shared that he enjoys solving problems and helping others. In Cape town he worked on a project to help citizens impacted with Covid-19. “You sometimes take it for granted, but it's a great contribution that we do in the project management group that we're touching lives. I think that's the reason why I keep on working in this space.” As a government agency it is amazing to see the applications in project management take place and have such an impact on so many lives. We often tend to think of just business when it comes to PMO, however it applies to anything as Ben has experienced.

Today, we have our first LatAm guest on the AGM podcast. And it was a special one.Bitso, LatAm's leading crypto exchange, is fresh off of raising a $250M round led by Tiger Global months after raising a $62M round led by QED and Kaszek - and has been minted as one of LatAm's newest unicorns.We had Bitso's co-founder and CEO Daniel Vogel on to talk about what it has been like to build a leading FinTech company in the region and provide access to investments and financial services.This was such a fun conversation. We could have gone on for hours. Daniel is such a compelling and fascinating storyteller. We discussed a number of things including: How Daniel has dedicated his life to unlocking monetary freedom for people through crypto. How a talk with his friend, a janitor at his company in Silicon Valley, opened his eyes to the need for real applications of crypto to help people send money cross-border. The origins of Bitso and how Bitso was a pioneer of an online brokerage account in Mexico. How Bitso has become the on-ramp for financial services for many consumers across LatAm. The meaning behind Bitso's slogan #makecryptouseful. The power of stablecoins and how it's enabling people in countries with inflation and currency fluctuations to save money. How Bitso balances being a centralized company in a decentralized world. How religion and community play a unique role in crypto. Daniel is an early crypto pioneer and a thought leader in the space. He became intrigued by the idea of bitcoin well before many other people had heard of it and really thought of crypto as a way to unlock monetary freedom and access to financial services for the underserved.After founding the Bitcoin Club at Harvard in 2013 while he was doing his MBA, Daniel founded Bitso with co-founders Pablo Gonzalez and Ben Peters soon after he left Harvard Square. In Bitso, Daniel and his co-founders Pablo and Ben have created the on-ramp for financial services to many consumers in Mexico and across LatAm.As Daniel said in a recent TechCrunch interview, the growth of the crypto ecosystem in LatAm has been nothing short of remarkable. It took Bitso six years to get their first 1 million clients. And over the course of 2020, Bitso has surpassed the 2 million client mark. They have also doubled their assets on the platform. And their transaction volume during the first quarter of 2021 exceeded transaction volume for all of 2020.It is clear that Daniel has a passion for building out the cryptoeconomy and for making a difference in people's lives, so much so that Bitso has made their tagline #makecryptouseful.Thanks Daniel for coming on the AGM podcast. We hope you enjoy this episode.

Objetivo 2: Y'ha-nthlei (1° parte). Asesora profesional de la Sociedad de Investigadores Samuel Garrison: Jessica Specter. Investigadora privada. El Submarino S-19 ha llegado a la bahía de Boston y está listo para adentrarse en las profundas aguas de la ciudad de Innsmouth. Jessica Specter será quien vaya a bordo de él acompañada del comandante Robert Harrow, el sacerdote Ben Peters y el resto de hombres de la guardia costera, dispuestos y firmes cumplir la misión: torpedear una supuesta base submarina de Innsmouth llamada Y'han-thlei. Las notas de "It's a long way to Tipperary" suenan dentro de la nave para subir la moral de quienes la abordan. Mantener la cordura estable en todo momento es vital para el cumplimiento de la misión, y esto se pondrá a prueba en el momento en que el S-19 choque contra un objeto no identificado en lo profundo del océano. La única solución para escapar parece estar al alcance de los torpedos, momento en que la estabilidad mental de algunos internos comenzará a flaquear. --- Gracias por escuchar Frecuencia Rolera!

Prepared In Private - Ben Peters by Hills Baptist Church
El año 2020 sigue sin dar tregua y ahora nos ha tocado perder a Charley Pride debido a complicaciones relacionadas con el Covid-19. Un artista que creció escuchando a algunos de los grandes maestros como Ernest Tubb, Eddy Arnold, Hank Williams y George Jones. Desarrolló un estilo propio partiendo de ellos e incluyó también a otros de sus favoritos como Sam Cooke, B.B. King o Brook Benton. Y es que Charley Pride siempre entendió que la música americana se construye desde el country, el gospel y el blues. “All I Have to Offer You (Is Me)” es canción de Dallas Frazier y "Doodle" Owens sobre cómo un hombre le cuenta a su novia que no es un hombre rico pero que quiere casarse con ella refleja a la perfección lo que fue el llamado Nashville Sound gracias a la producción de Jack Clement y Chet Atkins. Charley Pride hizo historia con ella al convenirse en 1969 en el primer artista negro que lograba el No.1 de las listas de música country desde que Louis Jordan lo hubiera conseguido en el 44. Es muy posible que la canción más recordada de Charley Pride sea "Is Anybody Goin' To San Antone?", que alcanzó la cima de las listas de country en Abril de 1970. A costa de un malentendido entre la editorial y los compositores -Glenn Martin y Dave Kirby-, el tema había sido grabado y publicado por Bake Turner, jugador del equipo de fútbol americano de los Jets de New York. Pride intento encontrar otros singles para sustituirlo, pero la grabación había quedado tan perfecta como acabamos de escuchar y decidieron editarla. Nacido en Sledge, en el estado de Mississippi, en 1934, nada fue fácil para él y su nombre estuvo en el centro que muchas polémicas que no buscó. Por ejemplo, dos días después del asesinato de Martin Luther King, el Grand Ole Opry canceló por primera vez en su historia un show -precisamente en el que iba a intervenir Charley Pride- alegando tensiones raciales. Casi siempre tenía que enfrentarse a los prejuicios y es que era negro. Recogió algodón, tuvo que jugar en las Negro leagues de béisbol pero no tuvo ningún problema para servir en el ejército. La calidez de la voz de Charley Pride era perfecta para las emisoras de radio de Onda Media de los 70 y RCA, el sello por el que firmó gracias a Jack D. Johnson, relaciones públicas de la editorial Cedarwood, supo aprovecharlo con creces. Incluso sus envíos promocionales no incluían la habitual biografía y mucho menos fotos. También nació en Mississippi Ben Peters, el compositor de “Kiss An Angel Good Mornin’”, una canción que se convirtió en un emblema de lo acogedor de su fraseo y de su sentido del humor. El mes pasado, Charley Pride fue galardonado con el Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award y actuó en aquella gala de la CMA junto a Jimmie Allen. Con él y Darius Rucker había grabado por última vez "Why Things Happen", un tema que se publicó un mes y medio después de la muerte de George Floyd, que provocó el movimiento Black Lives Matter. Era la fusión de tres generaciones de músicos negros de la escena de la country music compartiendo un sentimiento de angustia con estrofas como "Intentas no cuestionar a Dios ni a su juicio/Pero, maldita sea, no lo entiendo". Nunca olvidamos a Willie Nelson, y la leyenda viviente del Lone Star Stage vuelve a la actualidad cuando acaban de cumplirse 105 años del nacimiento de Frank Sinatra. El artista tejano tiene prevista la edición de un nuevo álbum dedicado a su figura y su música para finales del próximo mes de febrero del esperado 2021. Será su segundo proyecto con el “viejo de los ojos azules” como protagonista tras la publicación de My Way hace dos años y con el que consiguió un Grammy. Esta vez su título será That’s Life y ha sido grabado fundamentalmente en los Capitol Studios, los mismos que utilizó el legendario artista de Hoboken, en Nueva Jersey, para dar vida a buena parte de sus piezas maestras. Una de las 11 canciones que conformarán ese disco es “Cottage For Sale”, que utiliza la metáfora de una cabaña vacía para contar el final de una relación fallida. Sinatra la incluyó en su LP No One Cares del 59, posiblemente uno de los más oscuros de su discografía, llena de melancolía y soledad. La semana pasada escuchábamos el homenaje que se rindió a Willie y que ahora se edita en CD y DVD. Uno de sus grandes amigos, Merle Haggard, fue homenajeado con motivo del que hubiera sido su cumpleaños número 80 y era, triste coincidencia, el primer aniversario de su muerte. En el Bridgestone Arena de Nashville estuvieron el propio Willie, Keith Richards, John Mellencamp, Sheryl Crow, Loretta Lynn, Billy Gibbons, Lucinda Williams, Lynyrd Skynyrd, entre otros muchos. Dierks Bentley eligió “If We Make It Through December”, que hace ya 47 años formó parte de Merle Haggard's Christmas Present (Something Old, Something New). La mitad estaba grabada con los Strangers y el resto con Billy Walker And His Orchestra. Extraída como single de aquel trabajo, "If We Make It Through December" ha pasado a formar parte de los clásicos navideños de siempre. El respeto infinito de los Avett Brothers a Merle Haggard se hace patente en su versión de “Mama Tried”, uno de los grandes clásicos del inigualable músico californiano, que junto a Buck Owens representó la más clara alternativa al monopolio de Nashville mediante el llamado Backersfield Sound. "Mama Tried" se incluyó en la banda sonora de la película Killers Three que protagonizaron Broderick Crawford, Robert Wagner, Diana Varsi y el propio Merle Haggard. En aquellas canciones había mucho de folk, pero con una exquisita elaboración y una acusada sección rítmica. Los Strangers, la formación que respaldaba a Haggard, era uno de los grupos de referencia del momento y dejaron su impronta de cara al futuro. Merle Haggard y Sturgill Simpson se hicieron buenos amigos en los últimos años de vida de la leyenda californiana y hablaban mucho por teléfono. La letra de “Hobo Cartoon” la compuso Merle estando ya en el hospital y se la envió con una nota que decía “de un ferroviario a otro”, recordando que él había crecido en un vagón convertido en casa por un padre que trabajaba para el ferrocarril y saltaba de uno a otro tren de carga siendo niño. Sturgill, que trabajó en la Union Pacific, completó la música durante las sesiones de Cuttin Grass y se la enseñó a la viuda Theresa y a su hijo Ben. Por fin, “Hobo Cartoon” se ha convertido en el tema de cierre de este nuevo álbum, el segundo de los que ha publicado en 2020. Sturgill Simpson ha guardado sus canciones más personales para Cuttin' Grass - Vol. 2 (Cowboy Arms Sessions) que ha grabado en el mítico Cowboy Arms Hotel and Recording Spa, el estudio de “Cowboy” Jack Clement en Nashville, que ha sobrevivido a la muerte de su propio mentor y al terrible incendio de hace unos años, junto al productor David Ferguson y los Hillbilly Avengers, el mismo grupo de instrumentistas del primer volumen. El disco se editará en vinilo en abril y a diferencia del anterior, el músico de Kentucky ha incluido dos canciones inéditas. Una de ellas es “Tennessee”, llena de melancolía y grabada por primera vez, aunque se conociera de algunas apariciones con Sunday Valley hace ocho años. En 1988, Guy Clark publicó en el sello Sugar Hill su álbum Old Friends, al que abría y daba título una extraordinaria composición junto a su mujer Susanna y a Richard Dobson. Steve Earle hizo una gran versión el año pasado en Guy, el disco que dedicó a su mentor, y ahora ha sido Chris Stapleton quien se ha recreado junto a su mujer Morgane en esta pieza maestra, una de las dos elegidas para formar parte de su último proyecto, Startin’ Over. Si hablamos del Dirty Old One-Man Band estamos hablando de Scott H. Biram, uno de los más apabullantes músicos tejanos, inquieto hasta límites insospechados y con una capacidad extrema para sorprendernos a cada paso. Es una especie de predicador que hace magia con sus historias, como ahora ocurre en Fever Dreams, el álbum que cumple la docena de discos publicados y que ha grabado entre 2017 y 2019 en su estudio de Austin. Como no podía ser de otra forma, el Reverendo Biram ofrece el más amplio muestrario de su visión del mundo, desnudando sus impresiones de un mundo cargado de nostalgia, amores perdidos o almas solitarias. Todo ello está envuelto en sonidos enraizados que les llevan hasta el truckin’ country de “Can’t Stay Long”. Otro de los ejemplos de la supervivencia en la escena de la country music es el de Aaron Watson, también tejano y que ha seguido trabajando en nuevos proyectos en plena pandemia. Así ha llegado "Silverado Saturday Night", donde se añoran las fiestas al aire libre y los espacios abiertos y compartidos. Será una de las canciones que formarán parte de su próximo álbum, previsto para 2021. Lo que sabemos es que, sin perder el sonido tradicional de sus grabaciones, el artista de Amarillo tiene previsto que su nuevo trabajo sea accesible a una audiencia más amplia. La última apuesta de John Prine fue Arlo McKinley y él mismo decidió que debía pasar a formar parte de su sello discográfico, Oh Boy Records. El músico de Ohio ha debutado con Die Midwestern y para ello se fue hasta Memphis y se dejó acompañar por músicos como Ken Coomer , Rick Steff y Reba Russell. El resultado es un registro equilibrado entre el country y folk para contar historias como las que siempre cantaron los grandes clásicos, aunque el arrope sonoro es mucho más cercano en el tiempo. Así ocurre con “She’s Always Been Around”, un tema de honky tonk de carretera con la jukebox encendida que hubiera interpretado George Jones con sumo gusto. Hace tres años, en su octavo álbum, Kids in the Street, Justin Townes Earle parecía dispuesto a poner al día las esencias de la música folk para que fueran más atractivas a las nuevas generaciones. Para ello trabajó con Mike Mogis e incorporando un sonido más moderno a unos textos clarividentes e imaginativos. Incluso salió de Nashville, su ciudad natal y donde había grabado hasta entonces. Abriendo aquel registro que cerraba la trilogía que anticiparon Single Mothers y Absent Fathers estaba “Champagne Corolla”, una canción enérgica que ahora, cuando su padre, Steve Earle, la ha incluido en J.T., el álbum que ha dedicado a la memoria de su hijo fallecido, goza de un ambiente más pantanoso que el original.

Perspective In Pain - Ben Peters by Hills Baptist Church
I just finished reading a book by Ben Peters called How Not To Network A Nation: The Uneasy History of the Soviet Internet. The book is an amazing deep dive into the Soviet attempts to build a national information network primarily in the 60s. The book covers a lot of ground and has a lot of characters, although the most recurring is Viktor Glushkov, and if the protagonist isn't the Russian scientific establishment, perhaps it is Viktor Glushkov. And if there's a primary theme, it's looking at why the Soviets were unable to build a data network that covered the Soviet Union, allowing the country to leverage computing at a micro and a macro scale The final chapter of the book is one of the best summaries and most insightful I've ever read on the history of computers. While he doesn't directly connect the command and control heterarchy of the former Soviet Union to how many modern companies are run, he does identify a number of ways that the Russian scientists were almost more democratic, or at least in their zeal for a technocratic economy, than the US Military-Industrial-University complex of the 60s. The Sources and Bibliography is simply amazing. I wish I had time to read and listen and digest all of the information that went into the making if this amazing book. And the way he cites notes that build to conclusions. Just wow. In a previous episode, we covered the memo, “Memorandum for Members and Affiliates of the Intergalactic Computer Network” - sent by JCR Licklider in 1963. This was where the US Advanced Research Projects Agency instigated a nationwide network for research. That network, called ARPAnet, would go online in 1969, and the findings would evolve and change hands when privatized into what we now call the Internet. We also covered the emergence of Cybernetics, which Norbert Wiener defined in 1948 as a the systems-based science of communication and automatic control systems - and we covered the other individuals influential in its development. It's easy to draw a straight line between that line of thinking and the evolution that led to the ARPAnet. In his book, Peters shows how Glushkov uncovered cybernetics and came to the same conclusion that Licklider had, that the USSR needed a network that would link the nation. He was a communist and so the network would help automate the command economy of the growing Russian empire, an empire that would need more people managing it than there were people in Russia, if the bureaucracy continued to grow at a pace that was required to do the manual computing to get resources to factories and good to people. He had this epiphany after reading Wiener's book on cybernetics - which had been hidden away from the Russian people as American propaganda. Glushkov's contemporary, Anatoly Kitov had come to the same realization back in 1959. By 1958 the US had developed the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment, or SAGE. The last of that equipment went offline in 1984. The environment was a system of networked radar equipment that could be used as eyes in the sky to detect a Soviet attack. It was crazy to think about that a few years ago, but think today about a radar system capable of detecting influence in elections and maybe notsomuch any more. SAGE linked computers built by IBM. The Russians saw defense as cost prohibitive. Yet at Stalin's orders they began to develop a network of radar sites in a network of sorts around Moscow in the early 50s, extending to Leningrad. They developed the BESM-1 mainframe in 1952 to 1953 and while Stalin was against computing and western cybernetic doctrine outside of the military, as in America, they were certainly linking sites to launch missiles. Lev Korolyov worked on BESM and then led the team to build the ballistic missile defense system. So it should come as no surprise that after a few years Soviet scientists like Glushkov and Kitov would look to apply military computing know-how to fields like running the economics of the country. Kitov had seen technology patterns before they came. He studied nuclear physics before World War II, then rocketry after the war, and he then went to the Ministry of Defence at Bureau No 245 to study computing. This is where he came in contact with Wiener's book on Cybernetics in 1951, which had been banned in Russia at the time. Kitov would work on ballistic missiles and his reputation in the computing field would grow over the years. Kitov would end up with hundreds of computing engineers under his leadership, rising to the rank of Colonel in the military. By 1954 Kitov was tasked with creating the first computing center for the Ministry of Defence. They would take on the computing tasks for the military. He would oversee the development of the M-100 computer and the transition into transistorized computers. By 1956 he would write a book called “Electronic Digital Computers” and over time, his views on computers grew to include solving problems that went far beyond science and the military. Running company Kitov came up with the Economic Automated Management System in 1959. This was denied because the military didn't want to share their technology. Khrushchev sent Brezhnev, who was running the space program and an expert in all things tech, to meet with Kitov. Kitov was suggesting they use this powerful network of computer centers to run the economy when the Soviets were at peace and the military when they were at war. Kitov would ultimately realize that the communist party did not want to automate the economy. But his “Red Book” project would ultimately fizzle into one of reporting rather than command and control over the years. The easy answer as to why would be that Stalin had considered computers the tool of imperialists and that feeling continued with some in the communist party. The issues are much deeper than that though and go to the heart of communism. You see, while we want to think that communism is about the good of all, it is irrational to think that people will act ways in their own self-interest. Microeconomics and macroeconomics. And automating command certainly seems to reduce the power of those in power who see that command taken over by a machine. And so Kitov was expelled from the communist party and could no longer hold a command. Glushkov then came along recommending the National Automated System for Computation and Information Processing, or OGAS for short, in 1962. He had worked on computers in Kyiv and then moved to become the Director of the Computer Center in Ukraine at the Academy of Science. Being even more bullish on the rise of computing, Glushkov went further even added an electronic payment system on top of controlling a centrally planned economy. Computers were on the rise in various computer centers and other locations and it just made sense to connect them. And they did at small scales. As was done at MIT, Glushkov built a walled garden of researchers in his own secluded nerd-heaven. He too made a grand proposal. He too saw the command economy of the USSR as one that could be automated with a computer, much as many companies around the world were employing ERP solutions in the coming decades. The Glushkov proposal continued all the way to the top. They were able to show substantial return on investment yet the proposal to build OGAS was ultimately shot down in 1970 after years of development. While the Soviets were attempting to react to the development of the ARPAnet, they couldn't get past infighting. The finance minister opposed it and flatly refused. There were concerns about which ministry the system would belong to and basically political infighting much as I've seen at many of the top companies in the world (and increasingly in the US government). A major thesis of the book is that the Soviet entrepreneurs trying to build the network acted more like capitalists than communists and Americans building our early networks acted more like socialists than capitalists. This isn't about individual financial gains though. Glushkov and Kitov in fact saw how computing could automate the economy to benefit everyone. But a point that Peters makes in the book is centered around informal financial networks. Peters points out that Blat, the informal trading of favors that we might call a black market or corruption, was common place. An example he uses in the book is that if a factory performs at 101% of expected production the manager can just slide under the radar. But if they perform at 120% then those gains will be expected permanently and if they ever dip below the expected productivity, they might meet a poor fate. Thus Blat provides a way to trade goods informally and keep the status quo. A computer doing daily reports would make this kind of flying under the radar of Gosplan, or the Soviet State Planning Committee difficult. Thus factory bosses would likely inaccurately enter information into computers and further the Tolchachs, or pushers, of Blat. A couple of points I'd love to add onto those Peters made, which wouldn't be obvious without that amazing last paragraph in the book. The first is that I've never read Bush, Licklider, or any of the early pioneers claim computers should run a macroeconomy. The closest thing that could run a capitalist economy. And the New York Stock Exchange would begin the process of going digital in 1966 when the Dow was at 990. The Dow sat at about that same place until 1982. Can you imagine that these days? Things looked bad when it dropped to 18,500. And the The London Stock Exchange held out going digital until 1986 - just a few years after the dow finally moved over a thousand. Think about that as it hovers around $26,000 today. And look at the companies and imagine which could get by without computers running their company - much less which are computer companies. There are 2 to 6 billion trades a day. It would probably take more than the population of Russia just to push those numbers if it all weren't digital. In fact now, there's an app (or a lot of apps) for that. But the point is, going back to Bush's Memex, computers were to aid in human decision making. In a world with an exploding amount of data about every domain, Bush had prophesied the Memex would help connect us to data and help us to do more. That underlying tenant infected everyone that read his article and is something I think of every time I evaluate an investment thesis based on automation. There's another point I'd like to add to this most excellent book. Computers developed in the US were increasingly general purpose and democratized. This led to innovative new applications just popping up and changing the world, like spreadsheets and word processors. Innovators weren't just taking a factory “online” to track the number of widgets sold and deploying ICBMs - they were foundations for building anything a young developer wanted to build. The uses in education with PLATO, in creativity with Sketchpad, in general purpose languages and operating systems, in early online communities with mail and bulletin boards, in the democratization of the computer itself with the rise of the pc and the rapid proliferation with the introduction of games, and then the democratization of raw information with the rise of gopher and the web and search engines. Miniaturized and in our pockets, those are the building blocks of modern society. And the word democratization to me means a lot. But as Peters points out, sometimes the Capitalists act like Communists. Today we close down access to various parts of those devices by the developers in order to protect people. I guess the difference is now we can build our own but since so many of us do that at #dayjob we just want the phone to order us dinner. Such is life and OODA loops. In retrospect, it's easy to see how technological determinism would lead to global information networks. It's easy to see electronic banking and commerce and that people would pay for goods in apps. As the Amazon stock soars over $3,000 and what Jack Ma has done with Alibaba and the empires built by the technopolies at Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, and dozens of others. In retrospect, it's easy to see the productivity gains. But at the time, it was hard to see the forest through the trees. The infighting got in the way. The turf-building. The potential of a bullet in the head from your contemporaries when they get in power can do that I guess. And so the networks failed to be developed in the USSR and ARPAnet would be transferred to the National Science Foundation in 1985, and the other nets would grow until it was all privatized into the network we call the Internet today, around the same time the Soviet Union was dissolved. As we covered in the episode on the history of computing in Poland, empires simply grow beyond the communications mediums available at the time. By the fall of the Soviet Union, US organizations were networking in a build up from early adopters, who made great gains in productivity increases and signaled the chasm crossing that was the merging of the nets into the Internet. And people were using modems to connect to message boards and work with data remotely. Ironically, that merged Internet that China has splinterneted and that Russia seems poised to splinter further. But just as hiding Wiener's cybernetics book from the Russian people slowed technological determinism in that country, cutting various parts of the Internet off in Russia will slow progress if it happens. The Soviets did great work on macro and micro economic tracking and modeling under Glushkov and Kitov. Understanding what you have and how data and products flow is one key aspect of automation. And sometimes even more important in helping humans make better-informed decisions. Chile tried something similar in 1973 under Salvador Allende, but that system failed as well. And there's a lot to digest in this story. But that word progress is important. Let's say that Russian or Chinese crackers steal military-grade technology from US or European firms. Yes, they get the tech, but not the underlying principals that led to the development of that technology. Just as the US and partners don't proliferate all of their ideas and ideals by restricting the proliferation of that technology in foreign markets. Phil Zimmerman opened floodgates when he printed the PGP source code to enable the export of military-grade encryption. The privacy gained in foreign theaters contributed to greater freedoms around the world. And crime. But crime will happen in an oppressive regime just as it will in one espousing freedom. So for you hackers tuning in - whether you're building apps, hacking business, or reingineering for a better tomorrow: next time you're sitting in a meeting and progress is being smothered at work or next time you see progress being suffocated by a government, remember that those who you think are trying to hold you back either don't see what you see, are trying to protect their own power, or they might just be trying to keep progress from outpacing what their constituents are ready for. And maybe those are sometimes the same thing, just from a different perspective. Because go fast at all costs not only leaves people behind but sometimes doesn't build a better mousetrap than what we have today. Or, go too fast and like Kitov you get stripped of your command. No matter how much of a genius you, or your contemporary Glushkov are. The YouTube video called “Internet of Colonel Kitov” has a great quote: “pioneers are recognized by the arrows sticking out of their backs.” But hey, at least history was on their side! Thank you for tuning in to the History of Computing Podcast. We are so, so, so lucky to have you. Have a great day and I hope you too are on the right side of history!

Who is the most charismatic person you have ever met in your life? Ben Peters, Hospitality (2011-present) Written Feb 15 I had a friend in college who was the “headturner.” After talking to the headturner, I felt like I was a headturner. It lasted anywhere from an hour or two to a couple days, and then I returned to being boring. Talking to this guy literally leaves you feeling a combination of buzzed and elated. He’s constantly “stoked.” Everyone else talked about the headturner. One day, after spending a day with the headturner, I was so excited by his charismatic personality that everyone I interacted with said “I” was the headturner. I’m not a headturner. A few days later they said, “what’s gotten into you? You seem so boring.” Not really, but something close to that. His charisma was so great that he talked professors into giving him better grades, talked car...

Get ready for one of my common (but not yet patented - too abstract?) barrages of new shows over the next few days. That's what weekends are for - catching up on Hearsay Culture postings! So,to quote XTC - appropriately in this insane election cycle and as one bulwark against the ignorance enveloping our political process - let's begin! I'm pleased to post the first of the Spring 2016 shows, Show #252 from April 22, with Prof. Ben Peters of the University of Tulsa, author of How Not to Network a Nation: The Uneasy History of the Soviet Internet. Ben has written a fascinating, exquisitely written and thoroughly researched and contextualized history of the repeated failures over 30+ years to create a Soviet Internet. Not merely a history, Ben's analysis and writing shines when he places the ebbs and tides of its development in the broader socio-political environment in which a few brave pioneers were operating. That the Soviet Internet never developed reveals far more about the nature of a closed but competitive administrative state than it does about the genius underlying failed efforts. In our interview, we discussed both the intuitive and counter-intuitive modern insights borne from Ben's meticulous writing and research. Thanks to Hearsay Culture repeat guest Frank Pasquale for affording the opportunity to meet Ben at Yale Law's extraordinary Unlocking the Black Box conference in April, and I hope that all of you enjoy the interview as much as I did! {Hearsay Culture is a talk show on KZSU-FM, Stanford, 90.1 FM, hosted by Center for Internet & Society Resident Fellow David S. Levine. The show includes guests and focuses on the intersection of technology and society. How is our world impacted by the great technological changes taking place? Each week, a different sphere is explored. For more information, please go to http://hearsayculture.com.}
This week we’re looking at Investing for Income. Is your portfolio earning you the best possible rate of income? Are you prepared for this year's interest rate rise? We tell you how to maximise yield and where to find dividend payers in our Guide to Income Investing. Thanks to the closed-end structure and careful stock selection Bankers Trust has grown its dividend for half a century. Morningstar Editor Emma Wall kicks us off with an insight into the success of this Trust with manager Alex Crooke. Where Can Income Investors Find Dividends Now? The outlook for dividend stocks is looking gloomy - but there are still opportunities out there for the income investor. Evenlode's Hugh Yarrow reveals what to avoid and where to look. Up next, George Boyd-Bowman manager of the Neptune Global Income Fund highlights for us 3 Global Stocks Offering Dividend Growth that could and should pay bigger dividends in the future. You should be aware of high yielding stocks - they may not be sustainable sources of income. Instead stick to companies with lots of cash and a stable outlook says Evenlode’s Ben Peters who gives us his 3 UK Income Stock Picks. Which Bonds Deserve a Place in Income Investors' Portfolios? With gilt yields falling - and inflation set to rise - should income investors still consider bonds as part of their portfolios? Morningstar's Dan Kemp says yes - but be selective. There have been a slew of multi-asset income fund launches recently - targeted at the post-retirement investor. But what do fund analysts think of the offerings? Morningstar FUND ANALYST Randal Goldsmith explains more.
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® and fan-favorite country music artist Neal McCoy announce the upcoming CD release of Pride: A Tribute to Charley Pride: Deluxe Edition, which will be available on Nov. 3rd exclusively at all 633 Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® locations and online at crackerbarrel.com. Pride: A Tribute to Charley Pride: Deluxe Edition contains two exclusive bonus tracks not found on the original edition that was released in 2013 by Slate Creek Records. The album contains Neal’s versions of 13 songs made famous by the legendary Pride. Highlights include Neal performing duets with three of country music’s greatest voices. He sings “Roll On Mississippi” with Trace Adkins, “I’m Just Me” with Raul Malo, and Pride’s signature song (which earned songwriter Ben Peters a GRAMMY Award in 1972 for Best Country song), “Kiss an Angel Good Mornin’” with Darius Rucker. “I wanted to open people’s eyes about Charley and remind them of all that he has accomplished,” says Neal. “I thought the best way to do that was to just put his music out there and let people hear what great country music sounds like." In 1981, Charley Pride was introduced to Neal after the younger singer won a nightclub talent contest in Dallas and soon hired the newcomer to be his opening act at his concerts. Neal continued to work for Pride until 1986 when he left to pursue a recording contract. Neal's hits include “No Doubt About It” , “Wink" and "The Shake." He is currently touring with Blake Shelton on the “Ten Times Crazier" Tour."
