Designer Keanan Duffty; Fashion meets Music, David Bowie, Sex Pistols; The University of FailureI'm thrilled to introduce Keanan Duffty—this isn't just an intro, it's your VIP pass into the mind of a true blend of fashion, music, and education.Keanan is a British-born creative powerhouse (b. 1964, Doncaster) who's been rocking stages and runways since the late '70s After cutting his teeth in punk and New Romantic bands like Sordid Details and Wonder Stories, he sharpened his artistic vision at Central Saint Martins before relocating to NYC in 1993 to pursue both fashion and music In fashion, he founded his own Soho-based label in 1999, leaning into rock‑inspired, subculture-driven style—selling to heavy hitters like Bergdorf Goodman, Harrods, and Bloomingdale's . He's styled legends like David Bowie and the Sex Pistols—and even co-created a David Bowie-inspired line for Target in 2007. Between designing for Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B., consulting with Ben Sherman, Reebok, Aveda, Dr. Martens, and launching a built‑in wardrobe show with DIY punk flair, his style ethos is nothing short of revolutionary On the music front, he's frontman and vocalist for Slinky Vagabond—a glam‑punk supergroup that featured Sex Pistols' Glen Matlock, Blondie's Clem Burke, and Bowie/Lennon guitarist Earl Slick—tossing his voice into iconic events and venues since the 2000s. Today Slinky Vagabond is Keanan and Fabio Fabbri. Around academia, Keanan's a true educator and mentor. He's held leadership roles at Parsons, Academy of Art San Francisco, Polimoda in Florence, and now at USC's Iovine & Young Academy—teaching fashion through the lens of innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurial storytelling He's also a proud CFDA board member and advocate for Ukrainian designers, having orchestrated their platform at NYFW .What ties it all together? His signature “practical sustainability” ethos—upcycling vintage Levi's and Lee jackets, launching eco-cotton collections in the '90s, and integrating tech like CLO‑3D to slash waste Get ready for an engaging, inspiring conversation—Keanan blends raw rock energy, design discipline, and an educator's insight like no other.

Le 5 juin 2013, à l'occasion d'une vente privée de vêtements dans le centre de Paris, des militants antifascistes ont déclenché une rixe avec un groupe de skinheads d'extrême droite, entraînant le décès du militant « antifa » Clément Méric. Sa mort a soulevé une vague d'indignation et a posé la question de l'interdiction des groupes ultranationalistes.Un avant-goût d'été plane au-dessus de Paris. Après des semaines de grisaille, des mois chahutés par un climat politique houleux, le mercredi 5 juin 2013 profite d'une éclaircie. Au numéro 60 de la rue de Caumartin, une petite artère perpendiculaire aux grands boulevards, à mi-chemin entre le Palais Garnier et la gare Saint-Lazare, un attroupement flâne au soleil, les bras remplis de sacs. La société de distribution The Lifestyle Company organise une vente privée, mise à profit par de grandes marques souhaitant confier un stock de vêtements à liquider. Au choix, des chemises Ben Sherman, des vestes Fred Perry, ou encore ses fameux polos à liserés blancs, très appréciés par les mouvements radicaux. Deux camps qui se détestent, s'affrontent dans le pays depuis des décennies, depuis les années 80, quand red warriors et skinheads, antifas versus néonazis, se pourchassaient dans les rues de la capitale...

In this episode of Channels, the Nextflow podcast, host Geraldine from Seqera and her colleague Ben Sherman dive into the differences and similarities between Nextflow and the Workflow Description Language (WDL). They discuss the origins and development of WDL at the Broad Institute, the challenges of working with different workflow languages, and how Nextflow's channel-based data flow model compares to WDL's approach. The conversation covers key features, type systems, and runtime specifications, highlighting the strengths and limitations of both languages. Ben hints at upcoming improvements and enhancements for Nextflow, aimed at making the language more robust and user-friendly. The episode offers valuable insights for bioinformaticians and developers navigating the complexities of workflow management.

Join us in exploring the latest Nextflow release, 24.04. Phil Ewels and Ben Sherman dive deep into the new updates in Nextflow's most recent version. We discuss advanced retry strategies, job arrays, resourceLimits, Singularity's OCI mode, and the game-changing Workflow Output Definition. We're actively seeking feedback from the community on these new features. We would love for you to experiment with the new syntax and let us know your thoughts. Please let us know what you think either via Nextflow GitHub issues or via the community forum. In this episode we refer to a the recent blog post about the release, which you can find here: Nextflow 24.04 - Release highlights. Intro - tweaks, fixes and new support in 24.04 Performance and Stability Improvements Ben kicks off the discussion with key performance and stability improvements. The latest stable release, 24.04, includes numerous bug fixes and performance enhancements. There's a significant focus on closing gaps and adding retry strategies for better stability, especially concerning cloud providers. Notably, if Nextflow's API calls against cloud providers fail for any server-side reason, it will retry automatically, avoiding pipeline failures caused by temporary server issues. Publishing Changes Previously, if a file failed to publish, Nextflow would only issue a warning. It was possible for a pipeline to complete successfully without noticing missing output files. Now, by default, Nextflow will fail the pipeline if the publishing fails, though there's an option to revert to the old behavior. Additionally, retry strategies for publishing have been introduced to ensure retry attempts if an issue arises. Job Arrays One highly requested feature is the introduction of job arrays. This allows users to submit many jobs as a single submission, alleviating strain on schedulers. The submission happens in a batch, and then the scheduler can process and plan effectively. Once a job is submitted as part of a job array, the jobs run independently. If any child job fails, it is resubmitted without affecting the rest of the array. Singularity OCI mode and GA4GH TES In the past, Singularity supported Docker images by converting them into SIF files, consuming storage and time. Now, both Singularity and Apptainer can run OCI images directly, saving valuable resources. Additionally, the TES executor has seen significant improvements, now supporting TES 1.1, which brings broader compatibility and integration with existing workflows. Major new syntax features Topic Channels A new feature called topic channels offers a more straightforward approach to collecting channel outputs across pipelines. Channels can emit data to a named topic, simplifying the collection and use of version information from various processes within Nextflow pipelines. Eval Outputs Eval outputs simplify the addition of shell commands to tasks. With eval outputs, necessary post-task commands can be defined neatly, avoiding repetitive code within process definitions. Workflow Output Definition The concept of workflow output definitions has been introduced. This new syntax streamlines the publication of files by defining publish targets within workflows. Instead of defining publication behaviors within process definitions, users can now manage them at the workflow level, ensuring better clarity and fewer repetitions in the code.

This podcast episode is quite different to normal. Rather than an interview or a discussion, you'll get to watch as Ben Sherman guides Phil Ewels through the process of creating a new Nextflow Plugin from scratch. Right from the first line of code to creating a release and publishing the plugin. Nextflow plugins have been getting more attention lately and we've been getting a lot of questions in the community. There is better documentation and resources planned, but in the mean time we hope that this can be a useful guide for anyone curious in how they work, and interested in getting started. After this we will be back to our usual routine in the podcast, but we'd love to hear what you thought of this taster! 00:00:00 Welcome 00:03:27 Nextflow docs 00:08:34 Starting by forking nf-hello 00:10:32 Overview of project files 00:17:13 Trying a first compile 00:18:12 Different publishing methods 00:19:54 nf-boost local publish method 00:23:05 Trying the new compile 00:24:00 Running locally with the plugin 00:27:32 Looking at the nf-hello plugin code 00:39:29 Deleting files we don't need 00:42:34 Finding event names in the Nextflow source 00:47:46 Writing some custom functions 00:49:41 Testing our new code 00:51:51 Modifying the test pipeline to create files 00:54:14 Coding up the JSON output 00:59:20 Looking at nf-prov code for BCO files 01:05:30 Testing JSON output 01:09:39 Automatic work dir cleanup / nf-boost 01:12:17 Publishing a release on GitHub 01:19:07 Custom plugin repositories 01:26:47 Publishing for all Nextflow users 01:29:52 Conclusion and end

Greetings, bonjour, what's happeningWelcome to Lager Time. My legions of LagerLites stand tall.So I Didn't get round to putting this out on Friday as hoped. We had visitors in the gaff, what with Christmas and all that. Frozen streets, frozen pipes (yep we had those) a world cup final and a four-and a-half-hour journey across Kent in the train strike, just to get to London, meant it didn't happen. However, here it is, here I am. More about the story in a mo though.So I had a little bit of good news this week. I finally have a gig to announce. Pretty chuffed with this one. Friday 27th January, I'll be doing a spoken word set at one of the best nights in London, Poetry and Poppadums, supporting Michael Rosen, who if you don't know, is a bit of a legend in the UK Literature world. Alongside that will be Celia Bax, me and the host himself, Paul Lyalls; who runs the gig. Paul's a great guy, and a good poet who knows how to put on a decent event. He's supported me a lot over the years so I'm rally grateful to get on his stage again.It's a gig I've done a few times and it's one that I feel I can actually invite my mates and family too, confident they'll enjoy it. Paul knows what he's doing, it's a cabaret style set-up, decent bar and food and most of the people are just there to enjoy themselves and hear something a bit different. I'll put the ticket links in here and in the podcast description for the non-Sub stackers. Gives me another good reason to do a Not-Quite-Edition of Lager Time, to get match-fit, maybe even that live-stream I was going on about a while back. Should be a good one though, hope to see you there This might be the last Lager Time of the year, I hope not, but fear not if it is, I'll most certainly be back in January, might be to give these satellite Stories a break for a bit though, getting the urge to write some poems again. So this story is the first part of a story about going to an Under 18's event. Not gonna lie, I've struggled with this one a bit, hasn't been as fluid as some of the others, either way hope you enjoy it.      As ever, if you fancy giving us a subscribe on Substack, or on Apple or Spotify, or where ever it is you listen, I'd be very grateful. And if you've got any mates that might like it, let them know. And if you feeling really generous, in these hard-up times, you can give us a little donation on the old Ko-Fi that;s it for the begging. H Wait, and yea, and stream my EP, TOAST IN THE MACHINEOne last thing before I duck-out, I thought as it's my Christmas, I'd read my and only Christmas poem, which I forget to plug every year, as a little Brucie Bonus. It's in my first collection, The Suburban, which of course you can purchase from my website  just something that happened a few years back in Crawley.So that's it, if you don't hear from me, I hope yous all have a banging festive period, full of food, family, friends, banter, boardgames, boredom, TV re-runs and loads of tea and lager. I can't wait.Peas and taters, quite LiterallyHappy ChristmasPaulOne MoreRound one, we arrive. Get a pint. Foster's, cooking lager.‘I wanna keep it light. Had a rough night last night, can't stay out too long.'‘What's wrong with you?' my mate says in jest, with an undertone that suggests, You've changed. You left, I stayed. I'm hard, you're soft.‘So be it,' I say. We plot down, while he gets the round in. Back home, Christmas Eve. Me, my mate and my brother, sat round a beer-stained table, windows sprayed snow-white in the corners. Old cockneys and Irish crowd the bar like punters at a car auction; the taller patrons brush their heads against the tacky paper chain decorations; it's warm. Don't recognise many faces, but the place hasn't changed.Small talk begins, niceties are exchanged, ‘Good to see you back here' and ‘It's nice to be back,' I say, they say, and we skip through, mortgages, kids, marriages, cars and careers, ‘What you doing now, how's London?' Property prices, transport and crime appear in the conversation like constituents waiting at an MP's surgery, London provides the key and opinions rush the landlord.Round two. ‘Fosters is crap, innit?' I say, admitting my mistake. They laugh and I make that tactical upgrade to Kronenbourg, one that I've regretted in the past. Lug fast and it burns but it feels good.Booze in the system, the Christmas season has seen me drinking like four nights in a row, hop-scotching from work dos and that, all shop talk, awkward exchanges and then to this, back home Christmas Eve, old mates, familiar place.Smiles crack and we all begin to loosen. T's and th's start falling off, the first c-word gets dropped, as accents start slipping into them fitted cockney derivatives, treading paths parents and grandparents made to this place from London and beyond. ‘Faack off' and ‘Shaat up, mate,' we say, all spayed with affection.Round three. I see an old mate who I stand up to talk to. Five minutes into the chat and I get a tap on the arm, turn round and it's my brother and my mate and they're like, ‘It's your round, son,' eyebrows up and down. I'm up to the bar and back again quick smart, a beer triangle in my hand, one I'm well practised in carrying. We sit down, we hear a bang and a few raised voices, door flies open and, on the pavement outside, we see two guys in each other's faces. We look out the window, pints in hand like we're sat in the grandstand at the races. Old Bill appear, they disappear, carted off in a meat wagon to the cages; a cheer goes up, it unites the pub and we laugh because nothing changes.Round four and the talk is football and old computer games that we played, Streets of Rage and Street Fighter II, old holidays with mates and ‘We should do this again,' we all say. But one by one we look at the time at ever-increasing intervals, something we never would've done. Until my mate finally breaks and says, ‘I should probably go,' and I say, ‘Yeah, I need to get back,' and my brother's like, ‘Yeah, I gotta be up early,' and suddenly everything's changed.It goes a bit quiet, as the last dregs get drunk and there's that slight pause before the exit. We're all thinking it. The Pogues come on the jukebox. At the bar I watch the landlord pour another pint and I turn round to the other two, shrug my shoulders, cheeky look on my face, and say, ‘One more?'Sattellite Stories EP 8: Stand In Blend OutHome time at school was always a joyous occasion. I bowled out on this day with a rare mix of what I think were positive emotions, mixed in with a few typical teenage concerns. There was this small crew of slick-looking wideboys and wide girls, early twenties types, protype Big Brother contestants; standing outside the school gates, in shiny puffa-jackets, by a parked-up Audi, in club branded t-shirts dishing out flyers, for an Under 18's event, at Crawley's premier-late-night-go-to, Ikon-Diva. It was a ruthless PR operation. Target audience marked and in sight. And it worked. Because I saw that flyer and couldn't believe my eyes, it was happening. At last.I'd heard the myths about these under 18 events, in places that were near-by but not-near enough, like Croydon and East Grinstead, where they ran these alleged events that were ram-packed with chicks, that apparently would get off with anyone, and they played banging Drum and Bass and Garage. Someone's cousins mate or whatever had been to one on Hastings Pier, which had MC Dett and Kenny Ken. They were just names I knew from the Tapepacks, I didn't even know what they looked like, let alone had the chance to hear them play. Who's was gonna play at Ikon Diva?! They might get Shy FX?! Or Nicky Blackmarket?! Or Skibbadee?! And now, it was happening, in Crawley, almost home turf. A nightclub, with loud banging music. I loved loud banging music but only got to play it on my tinny headphones or shitty Argos hifi (with inbuilt graphic equaliser); which often didn't work, so it wasn't really loud, or banging. And of course. Girls. There'd be girls. Loads of them. Bare girls. Not bare, but bare, as in loads. Probably. Maybe. And Music, hopefully not shit music, chart music, but Jungle, Garage and more Drum N Bass, and Hip Hop. Geezers, my mates and girls. And probably dickheads, which put the brakes on my thinking a bit, might get started- on, was fairly probable, who would back it? Would I know enough people? I knew people but was I safe with them? Like safe, enough. Safe enough to say ‘Safe Kass' and Kass to ‘safe' back. Maybe, maybe not.There were good reasons why Ikon Diva had been featured, a few times, on Crime In The South East. Fly-on-the-wall camera crew follows coppers, as they nick larey lads, and often females, kicking off at kicking-out time. There was always the bit, where three or four copers struggle to pin-down and cuff some geezer in a ripped Ralph shirt, wriggling about like a trapped wasp.‘we need you to calm down sir '‘I'm fucking calm, I'm fucking calm'Often, that was someone's older brother, or mate, or occasionally dad.All the non-conforming-alternative-types: the skaters, the metalers, the indie kids, the stoners, of which I was a conflicted, inconsistent member of, would consistently slag the place off, and its regulars, with anecdotes that were probably justified, but with tones and remarks that all-to-often veered into that merkey grey-area of outright class-bashing. I always felt I was somewhere inbetween those two world-views. I wanted to stand out, because there was more to life than Crawley town centre and chart music, but I also wanted to blend in, I didn't want my arse kicked and I liked (but could never afford) Air Max and of course, Jungle, Drum and Bass' even though it had been relegated in the coolness stakes, due to UK Garage being the go-to sound, banged out of any souped up-moter doing doughnuts outside Halfords.So I'm at Horley station doing my very best to blend in. Pinstripes, jeans, Ben Sherman and jacket, standard night-out-geezer-in-training look.  I looked the part but lacked the pack, like a lone deer with low self-esteem, stood a few yards from a gigantic herd of does and horn-heads, all smoking Sovereign cigarettes, spitting on the floor and wearing better brands of clothes. Horley, being that smaller town-with-one-massive-secondary-school, meant that everyone knew each other who went to Oakwood school; which was all of them, with the exception of the few kids like me, who went to faith schools and the other odd few posh kids and scholarship kids who went to Reigate Grammer.There must've been about thirty of them, all along platform two, in small groups, but all still communicating with each other, they knew each other, I didn't really know anyone.  All it took was for one mouthy prick to look in my direction and the game would be up before it had even started. There were a few faces in amongst them that I recognised from my days playing football, for Horley Town under 9's and 2nd Horley Cub scouts. Few wideboys I'd seen getting larey in the town centre. Some of the girls were fit, tiny, tight dresses, big earrings and loads of makeup and none of them had jackets on; it was cold. I wish I knew them. The 52 train rolled in and I sat as far away from them as possible.We pile off the train at Crawley, me deliberately taking my time, with the aim of making as little noise as possible, I'd got good at that. I arranged to meet a few of the boys at the station. All the Horley lot pile off, I see them up ahead, along with loads of other kids, good mix of girls and boys. This massive crew that gets off at the opposite end as I'm walking towards the exit, they're in a head on collision course with me, as we roll up the platform towards the exit. They're done up to the nines in Moshino and Iceberg, and they look bigger and older, and ruder, all walking with a bop only reserved for the rudest of rudeboys round here. I'm guessing they're from Croydon, they got that street air that just about gets filtered out down here, even in a satellite town full of attitude, like Crawley; if you bowled like these boys, you were either a pretender or you really were about it. There weren't many that could pull it off.  They're talking loud, making random noises, shouting and laughing and one of them is MCing; there's no girls, just guys. They got an energy about them, which is unpredictable, but like, draws you in, like you wanted to be in their company.I slow my step enough, so that I wind up filling in behind them as they go into the station, bowling right passed the infamous Indian Robo Cop, who today must've stood down with the shake downs. I doubt any of these kids, Horley, Redhill or Croydon, had tickets, but even the infamous Indian Robocop was powerless to stop them in the sheer numbers they were streaming through; either that or he'd passed out under a cloud of Lynx and ImpulseI stood on the steps of the station, watching them all make their way to Ikon, which was conveniently stationed, next to the station. All in big groups. As I'd come over the footbridge, I was pretty sure I heard the likes of Ronnie Wader and Shane O Connel, and I'm pretty sure Brendon was with them, sometimes he got invited to roll with those boys, same with Gareth. They were dickheads but I was jealous. Whatever it was, they sounded rowdy, like they were doing shots or something, bottles were clanging and doing football chants.I stood on the steps, watching the masses make their ways in, in varying states. I saw a few faces like Yusef, Ryan White and Big Kass, which was never a good sign that those three were together; felt like everyone was mobbing up and coming out in force. They could very easily have stopped and come up the steps and performed the Crawley shake-down routine; I certainly had a few pound coins on my person; maybe they could teach this local custom to them Croydon boys in a cultural exchange, in return for some updated London slang; we always got it eventually; Thatcher's trickle-down for satellite town rude boys.I was a bit gutted that Brendon and Gareth were with Shane and that, I was on my own and lacking weight but trying to look like I did'nt lack wight but I was on my own and I did lack wieght. There was always a loose cannon like Kells about, but you know he'd just turn up anyway, though we never invited him for anything. Mo was coming, everyone liked Mo, and Rich was coming too, he could swing if he needed to, but right now, I was on my own; until Vee-jay trotted up. He'd walked from Broadfield, which was a good half hour. He was a good kid Veejay, but like me he lacked he didn't scan well in the hardness polls, but he was trustworthy. Two wonna be's are better than one wonna be but the two combined still don't make the weight of a regular geez with a bit about him. We were still exposedEventually Mo showed up, he'd lived near by but had to come over the bridge and had bumped in to Ronnie Wader and those boys, and saw  Brendon and Gareth.  I could smell the booze on his breath; they were all safe with Mo. Luckily for me he didn't stray. He was loyal like that; he could've mugged me and Vee-jay off for them. Rich then arrived, his mum dropping him off in the carpark, giving her a bit of grief as he got out the car.‘shutup man, don't  drop me off here next time'So now there was four of us, that was something. We marched on over to the que, which snaked all the way round the side and back out into the station car park. It was a lot of people, and lot of bouncers, big mean looking bastard.  We were bopping towards the back of the que, but all subetley looing  to see who we knew, let all these pretty chicks and wideboys know that we were faces. Mo got a few nods but the rest of us got nothing; until.‘Oi Rich, Rich, Paul, Paul yea boys, over here, yea, yea.'Someone said my name. They said Rich's first, but still, they said my name. I tried to look like it was nothing, like this kinda thing happens all the time. I slowly turned round, only to see Pidge, in the que, on his own. Pidge. I was a little bit disappointed but it meant we could sneak into the que and just hope no one called us out. Pidge had on a Tommy Hilfiger shirt that was way too big for him, to be fair though; he weren't the only one in ill-fitting clothes.Every wide boy in a 20 mile radius was in the line to get in, all the different parts of Crawley there, Pound Hill and Northgate to Broadfield and Bewbush. All the Horley boys, Horsham, Redhill, East Grinstead and those big crews from Croydon, all in the mix, all out for something. The energy of it all reminded me of watching one of those crusty science videos in school, where they would put a Bunsen burner under a substance and through the microscope, you could see all the particles getting lively; it was buzzing.There'd already been a couple of casualties and we hadn't even got in yet. One kid hauled out by security, who could barley even stand, spaghetti all down his shirt, two other lads had a punch up in the que, it was only just gone 7pm.  There was gonna be a few pissed off parents later, and probably a few parents who didn't give a shit what their kids were up to; some mess in front of us was clearly sweating and gurning his face off. We were Tony Blairs children; he'd be proud.As we slowly moved towards the door, I could start to hear those muffled base sounds of pumping music inside. Butterflies fluttered in my belly. But wait, what if it was so banging my ears couldn't take it? I'd never been to a club before. I'd heard older people say dance music could brainwash ravers, but then my older siblings all listen to it and they're alright? In-fact my brother said the sound system was shit?! Clubs were way better in Brighton and London. Which was odd, because out here, it sounded pumping, every time that door opened we got a blast, getting louder the closer we got to the door.‘oi, that sounds sick boys'‘Na it's shit. Clubs are way better in Brighton and London'From the time I'd got to the platform at Horley station, to getting in this que, I'd fallen in love about 400 times and my head had already concocted a whole series of fantasies, involving each one of these girls being my girlfriend, every time my eyes locked on one, it was hard to know where to look! It was also, in a way, a bit intimidating, some of these girls weren't wearing much but were fully confident with it, strutting about, like they knew what they were doing, like they had all this power and were in full control; any young geezer looking to step, needed some serious minerals to match it. Couple of these chicks looked like they swing it out too, one girl with curly hair and fists covered in sovereigns had threatened to knock out some guy for pushing in; she meant it and he knew, we all did; he backed down fast.When we finally got to the door, it was only then I appreciated the sheer size of these bouncers, with their black suits on with white shirts and shoulders like American football pads. Butterflies in my belly panicking to get out, fizzing like that ADHD inducing popping candy in my mouth and I'm pretty sure I had to lean forward at one point, to attempt to contain it.‘You alright mate?‘yea, yea, yea sweet, boys'We'd all  gone quiet, I cleared my throat as we got to the doors, into the clock room area, where those big main doors were and every time they opened; I was blasted with pumping beats, mashed with the sounds of energetic young voices, like twisted bits of jewellery all forming this messy audio ball of madness which I couldn't quite contextualise but my Lord, was it exciting, and scary.‘alright'My voice sudenly went up an octave and simultaneously my arms sprung out from my pockets into a straight position, like a spring-loaded bottle opener, without the bouncer even saying a word, just a split second of eye contact. How did he do that?! It was like magic!? And why did my voice go up like that?He didn't respond to my attempt at casual geezer niceties and when he was done, slightly shoved me in the back towards the area where the entrance was. I slightly tripped and my heart suddenly went up about a 100 BPMs thinking I was gonna stack it in front of all these kids in the que. Fortunately I managed to stye it out and smiled awkwardly, as I joined the boys at the till, paid my £4 cover fee, opened those almighty, towering double doors and just like that, we were in the club.

Die Harrington-Jacke: Original vs. günstige Alternative. Viel Spaß beim Hören!

This week, we're all about showing the love to the '90s artists that we feel are underrated.  Well, we're all about that, and talk sports, celebrity death matches, Finnish politics and classic Dr. Seuss characters...but we're mostly about underrated artists of the '90s. Apropos to this topic, we are very pleased to welcome author Andy Frye as our Third Lad.   Andy is a music and sports scribe who has written for notable publications such as Rolling Stone, ESPN and Forbes, and has interviewed hundreds of personalities ranging from Morrissey to Tom Brady.  Andy's latest endeavor is the novel Ninety Days in the 90s, a rock n' roll time travel adventure following Wall Street trader-turned-record store owner Darby, as she discovers Chicago's mythical Gray Line train that will allow her to return to 1996 for 90 days.  It's a music-filled nostalgia trip that asks the question: What would you do differently if you could relive the past? Order the book at: https://90daysinthe90s.com For more information on Andy Frye: https://andyfrye.com This week's O3L Spotlight Artist of the Week is London's Valentina Way.  Valentina Way exist somewhere in south London between 1969 and 1971 - with their jangle-pop guitars, Beach Boy vocal harmonies, garage organ, flute and Penny Lane trumpet solos.  Musically, the band take their cue from the cover of "Sugar Sugar" by Cornershop, David Cassidy, Karen Carpenter, Micky Dolenz, Gilbert O'Sullivan, Bay City Rollers, and any garage band from the '60s who didn't quite make it.  We share the marvelously wistful track "Ben Sherman" from their debut album Imaginary Weekends.

"All About the Ben"Welcome back to Jonah Asks. Ben Sherman was a high school friend who I also worked and lived with for a couple years in 2002-03. It was great to reconnect with him after a decade or so. Ben has taught philosophy and now works in the non-profit world helping people in workforce development. Ben is thoughtful, compassionate and at times, quite funny. Thanks for listening!Timestamps:0:02 Digestion and Middle Age0:05 Arlington, Massachusetts"The theater crowd at Arlington High School was just...deeply strange. They had their own pagan icon: the sacred oar. Every year, after the final performance, there would be a sacrifice to the sacred oar. My freshman year, they had bought a full-size dead squid from a butcher shop...and it got weirder after that."0:13 The Coin-Flip: Oberlin vs BrandeisBen had to decide between going Oberlin and Brandeis. His dad had left it up to him entirely. At the last minute, he was about to flip a coin. His dad sat down with him and they made a list of pros and cons. It was still a tie. So he flipped a coin. And ended up at Brandeis, in Waltham, MA.  0:17 Experiencing Different Sides of Arlington - Surviving High School: bullying and Social Life, Finding Real Friends, Embracing Weirdness and the Rocker Aesthetic"In the mid-90s, Arlington was right on the edge of gentrification. You said there were different Arlingtons. People who ran the school board would talk about an out-an-out clash between old Arlington and new Arlington and we were right in the middle of it. We were not a ritzy town, we were not a working class town, we were both things at once. That caused some weird splits and polarization."Ben: "In my experience, the portion of the school community that prioritized toughness and toxic masculinity...in a lot of cases, representing the young side of a working class that was being elbowed out of where their families had lived for years, was this hostile force. For me, it was having people randomly gay-bash you. Having people threaten violence."0:24 Identity: Weirdness and Agency0:29 Employment - Ben Works in Workforce DevelopmentThe fight for progress. Employment numbers, opportunities and low wages.0:40 Family and GrievingBen's mom died of cancer when he was 8. He was the oldest of two boys. His dad remarried a few years later. Reflecting back on that time, Ben remembers when he was an early teen, thinking about how few memories he had from the year or two after his mom died. "It was a memory hole even at a time when it was surprising for it to be a memory hole."0:50 Meeting Step-Mom"It was as smooth and warm a step-mother introduction to the family as I'm aware of." Seeing Dad cry for the first time.0:54 Mortality, Trust and PsychologyHow we cope with childhood and how memory works.1:00 Polyamory: Ethical Non-monogamyBen explains his definition of polyamory and his experience in relationships.1:11 Younger People and the Problem of Endless Options1:16 Fatherhood as Seen From Afar1:25 Generations, Trust, Intimacy and Too Many Options1:35 Waltham, MA, Communal Living in 2002Ben and Jared Make a Vague Plan"Let's find collective housing so we're paying a lot less per room right out of college."Internet cables split ten ways. "You had people who were individually not really competent to run their own lives, but you put them together, you had a pretty good overlapping skill-set."1:45 Bugaboo Creek Steak House"It never could decide if it wanted to be Chuck E. Cheese or a dive-bar. The attempt to be both at once was pretty weird.

"The starting point always has to be truth. How do we tell the truth about ourselves, and how do we do that in a compelling way?"Bob Sheard is the Founder and Co-Owner of FreshBritain, aka The Brand Vision Company. To characterise FreshBritain as just another Brand Design Agency or Creative Agency doesn’t really do them justice. FreshBritain are the absolute tip of the spear when it comes to redesigning and repositioning some of the wold's most iconic brands. I’ve likened Bob to the invisible hand behind the scenes...quietly controlling the narrative, nudging each brand he works with, back towards their true north. Over the last 20 years he’s worked with giant Private Equity Funds, celebrities like Bear Grylls and Al Gore, and countless iconic brands such as Nike, Levi’s, 2XU, Doc Martens, Ben Sherman, Converse, Renault, Arc’teryx, and New Balance, just to name a few. Bob has this masterful command of the English lexicon, mixed with a salt-of-the-earth Yorkshire accent that I find very pleasing on the ear and he is very funny to boot. All of which makes for an excellent podcast, and there are many great stories from his life and career here that anyone will find interesting, not only those working in advertising, branding or marketing. We discuss some of his favourite pieces of client work such as, the time he got a phone call from the President of Levi’s saying “Hey Bob, we need you to un-f**k Levi’s for us”. We also discuss why we respect Novak Djokovic but we love John McEnroe, how COVID has changed consumer behaviour and brand behaviour for good, and how we might think about re-designing a new world order. As always, we end the podcast by talking about habits, principles, and words to live by.LinksLinkedIn: Bob SheardFreshBritain WebsiteFreshBritain TestimonialsInstagram: @freshbritainHome of the podcastLinkedIn: @michaelxcampionInstagram: @michaelxcampionhttps://www.michaelxcampion.com/podcastTop Ten Public Speaking Tips + 'Thursday Thoughts' www.michaelxcampion.com/subscribe

World Tourism Day is commemorated each year on 27 September in order to foster awareness among the international community of the importance of tourism and its social, cultural, political, and economic value. This year, tourism has been among the hardest hit of all sectors by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the theme of the 2020 edition of international day is "Tourism and Rural Development." Undoubtedly, the tourism is one of the largest industries in the world. One out of every 10 jobs in the whole world is in the tourism industry and 30 percent of the world revenue comes from tourism. The livelihoods of a very large number of people are linked to the tourism industry. In this context, Cultural Survival’s Radio Program Producer Dev Kumar Sunuwar produced this radio program focusing on ways tourism has impacted Indigenous Peoples and on what benefits the tourism industry has brought to the world's Indigenous Peoples.

In this expert interview podcast, Josh chats with REI and wholesaling experts Ben Sherman and RJ Nunz, who offer their must-hear advice on property acquisitions and building an extensive hyper-buyer list (that is, buyers who will purchase multiple properties from you every year). Ben, who served in active duty for the U.S. Air force for 13 years, actually got his start in real estate investing while stationed in Afghanistan – believe it or not! While he was honored to serve our nation, he wasn’t a huge fan of being separated from his family for the majority of the year, which is why he first considered real estate investing as a new career. Ben shares the story of how he transitioned from the structured, regimented life of an active military member to the entrepreneurial, self-disciplined mindset of an investor. (Hint: it wasn’t an easy process!) RJ, Ben’s business partner, also shares his investing experience, and how he and Ben have worked together to build their uber-successful company, Property RX, LLC. Based out of Wichita, their real estate solutions company helps homeowners get out of sticky situations such as foreclosures, probate, and more. Together, Ben and RJ have countless deals under their belt – and really know their stuff when it comes to building a successful real estate investing business.

It's a Mousetalgia Emporium this week! Topics for the week include alcohol in Disneyland, lights on floats and remembering a friend. First, Team Mousetalgia offers a listener a "Hand with the Land" with tips for solo touring at Walt Disney World. Then, we finally tackle the issue of alcohol coming to Disneyland, and debate the pros and cons. Does the Star Wars Galaxy's Edge Cantina warrant an authentic stiff drink? Perhaps our opinions will surprise you! Next, we speak with Ben Sherman, author of "Lights," about his time at Disneyland and his role in the creation of the Main Street Electrical Parade. Sherman shares some of the challenges and victories behind the scenes during the development of this groundbreaking nighttime spectacular.

Marshawn Lynch, Tony Romo, Richard Sherman, Ben Roethlisberger. In den vergangenen Tagen haben die großen Stars die Schlagzeilen aus der NFL bestimmt. Es geht um ein mögliches Karriere-Comeback , ein Karriere-Ende, eine Karriere-Fortsetzung und einen eventuellen Karriere-Ortswechsel. Was genau dahinter steckt? Darüber reden wir! In unserem Studio in der Hamburger Volksbank Arena begrüßen euch diesmal Flo und Kucze. Per Skype zugeschaltet sind Stolle und Detti. Als weibliche Verstärkung ist Dinorah-Cecilia Castillo Tristan zu Gast. „Dino“ spielt selbst Football (als Running Back bei den Hamburg Blue Devilyns) und ist großer NFL-Fan. Wie immer beginnen wir den Podcast mit unserer Rubrik „In and out“. Diesmal mit Desmond Trufant von den Atlanta Falcons, dem Liebes-Aus von Green Bay Packers-Star Aaron Rodgers, dem Liebes-Beweis von „Big Ben“ für die Pittsburgh Steelers und Tramaine Brock von den San Francisco 49ers, der seine Freundin vermöbelt hat und verhaftet wurde. Danach beschäftigen wir uns ausführlich mit Tony Romo und Marshawn Lynch. Während der eine die NFL verlässt und TV-Reporter wird, arbeitet der andere an seinem Comeback in unserer Lieblingsliga. Lynch und die Oakland Raiders – das Geturtel wird immer heißer. Setzt „Beast Mode“ seine Karriere tatsächlich in seiner Geburtsstadt noch mal fort? Und natürlich beleuchten wir auch die Trade-Gerüchte um Richard Sherman, den Verteidiger-Star der Seattle Seahawks. Und wir sprechen darüber, welche Faszination American Football auf Frauen ausübt. Dino erzählt, wie sie zu der Sportart kam. Was die Unterschiede zwischen Männer- und Frauenfootball sind. Und was sie sich vom derzeitigen NFL-Hype erhofft. Ja, auch in dieser Ausgabe der Footballerei steckt wenige Tage vor Ostern wieder ein bunter Mix getreu unserem Motto „NFL frei Schnauze“.Und kommenden Montag produzieren wir unseren nächsten Podcast wieder live und interaktiv um 19 Uhr auf Facebook und YouTube. Seid dabei und schaltet ein!
