In July, a Cassin's kingbird (Tyrannus vociferans) calls from the edge between grassland and pine in Montana, USA. Three months later, I'm among Cassin's kingbirds again but 2000 miles farther south, in their winter range in Oaxaca, Mexico. Over the past year, my life has traced the path of these migratory Cassin's kingbirds—a journey that, for me, has involved falling in love and spending months far away from the Montana landscape I know and love. This is a story of migration, of the memories that birdsongs carry, and of finding a connection to the earth that spans time and space. Along this journey, we meet many birds and hear their voices. Among the recordings featured in this podcast are Montana sounds of Cassin's kingbird, common yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas), grasshopper sparrow (Ammodramus savannarum), Lincoln's sparrow (Melospiza lincolnii), sandhill crane (Antigone canadensis), Savannah sparrow (Passerculus sandwichensis), vesper sparrow (Pooecetes gramineus), and western meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta) recorded by me, Shane Sater. From Oaxaca, I share recordings of a Bewick's wren (Thryomanes bewickii), lark sparrow (Chondestes grammacus), lesser goldfinch (Spinus psaltria), loggerhead shrike (Lanius ludovicianus), western kingbird (Tyrannus verticalis), and white-throated towhee (Melozone albicollis). Many thanks to Manuel Grosselet of Tierra de Aves (https://www.tierradeaves.com/) and Jay McGowan of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology for giving me permission to use their Oaxacan recordings of Cassin's kingbirds.

She completes the meditation with her poem, "Holding Court".Holding Court, by Julie PotikerScattered about, Western Sycamore leaves forever remind me of book pages - undone, unglued, unloved, discarded.Feeling this dip in mood, I make my way to the caged veggie garden below in search of something yummy.Bright green cauliflower lifts my spirits. I wrestle it out of the rich soil with the help of Cutco kitchen scissors. I really must get some garden shears. Been a year that I've been saying that in my head, and sometimes out my mouth.It's 5pm now, so the buzz saws, trucks, and workmen's chatter are silenced.Two heads cauliflower filling my hands, I'm stopped in my tracks by the sounds and sights of happy hour in full swing in the Scrub Pine.Standing stock still, I search for movement along the branches. Birds the size of pine cones, and dark smooth pine cones that look like birds tucked in tight among the spikey needles in the fading light.Bewick's Wren was holding court. His friends, Bushtit, Warbler and Towhee singing a cappella. A refrain rang out from Crow, he was winging it, he may have lost the score. Above it all, Red Tailed Hawk was conducting.What a blessing.

Migratory birds connect us. I've been in the state of Oaxaca, in southern Mexico, for almost two months now. This is a story of exchange, of our interconnected planet, and of the birds that connect our lands, from Montana to Oaxaca. But in telling it I couldn't ignore the difficult themes of gentrification: that although the birds don't recognize the wall between our countries, it still greatly influences our human lives. I hope that this story stimulates interesting thoughts, conversations, and exchanges! This podcast features the voices of many birds: yellow-rumped warblers (Setophaga coronata) singing and calling from Montana, and calling from their wintering grounds in Oaxaca; and a recording from Las Canteras Park, Oaxaca de Juárez that includes social flycatcher (Myiozetetes similis), Bewick's wren (Thryomanes bewickii), yellow-rumped warbler, house finch (Haemorhous mexicanus), Inca dove (Columbina inca), white-winged dove (Zenaida asiatica), and curve-billed thrasher (Toxostoma curvirostre). Also, from Montana's spring and summer, we hear western meadowlark (Sturnella neglecta), American robin (Turdus migratorius), yellow warbler (Setophaga petechia), house wren (Troglodytes aedon), and gray catbird (Dumetella caroliniensis).

Summary: Bird names are changing in 2024. Join Kiersten and Cheryl as they talk about a controversial decision made about bird names. For our hearing-impaired listeners, a transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean. Show Notes: “American Ornithological Society Will Change the English Names of Bird Species Named After People,” AOS Leadrership, https://americanornithology.org “These American birds and dozens more will be renamed, to remove human monikers,” by Nell Greenfield-Boyce. NPR Morning Edition, November 1, 2023. https://www.npr.org Transcript Kiersten: Intro: Quoting the bard, William Shakespeare “A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” I hope all you birders out there believe this quote to be true, because some changes are a'comin where common bird names are concerned. The American Ornithological Society has decided to change the English names of bird species named after people. Cheryl: In November of 2023 the AOS announced that birds named after people would be renamed. Birds such as Anna's Hummingbird, Bullock's Oriole, Abert's Towhee, Gambel's Quail and Bewick's Wren will all be renamed. Scientists will form a multi-disciplinary committee that will seek public input when they begin renaming the birds. They will focus on birds that are in the AOS's jurisdiction which is the United States and Canada. Beginning in 2024, they will start with 70 to 80 species. Kiersten: Why are they doing this? Quoting Dr. Collen Handel, president of the American Ornithological Society and a research wildlife biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey in Alaska, “There is power in a name, and some English bird names have associations with the past that continue to be exclusionary and harmful today. We need a much more inclusive and engaging scientific process that focusses attention on the unique features and beauty of the birds themselves.” For example, in 2020 McGown's Longspur, a small prairie songbird from the Great Plains, was renamed to the thick-billed Longspur. This name focuses on the characteristics of the bird instead of using the birds to honor a human being. I like this thought process. This is what the scientists are going to do with all those names. Cheryl: By doing this, the AOS is admitting that the previous process for naming birds comtained some bias. There are three guidelines they will be using for the renaming process and for future newly discovered bird species. The AOS commits to changing all English-language names of birds within its geographic jurisdiction that are named directly after people, along with other names deemed offensive and exclusionary, focusing first on those species that occur primarily within the U.S. or Canada. Kiersten: The second guideline: The AOS commits to establishing a new committee to oversee the assignment of all English common names for species within the AOS's jurisdiction: this committee will broaden participation by including a diverse representation of individuals with expertise in the social sciences, communications, ornithology, and taxonomy. Within the scientific community, AOS will include a broader representation of scientists this go around, instead of just a bunch of old white guys. Cheryl: The third guideline: The AOS commits to actively involving the public in the process of selecting new English bird names. So, instead of just involving scientists on the naming process, the AOS will reach out to the communities where these birds are found as ask for comments and suggestions. Kiersten: Quoting Dr. Judith Scarl, AOS Executive Director and CEO, “As scientists, we work to eliminate bias in science. But there has been historic bias in how birds are named, and who might have a bird named in their honor. Exclusionary naming conventions developed in the 1800s, clouded by racism and misogyny, don't work for us today, and the time has come for us to transform this process and redirect the focus to the birds, where it belongs.” Cheryl: We know that there will be a lot of push back from birders who have been birding for many years, but this is a necessary step to opening up birding to everyone. Because birding is for everyone. Ken Kaufman, author of many widely used bird ID guides, weighed in on this decision in a recent NPR article. He's been using these names for the last 60 years and was initially upset by the decision because he knows some of the people these birds are named after, but he's come around to the idea. He was quoted as saying, “It's an exciting opportunity to give these birds names that celebrate them, rather than some person in the past.” Kiersten: I think Ken's quote about sums it up. Remember that the only thing changing here is the name of the bird, they are still as beautiful and as fun to watch regardless of what call them.

Summary: Another way to attract birds to your backyard is to provide nesting possibilities. Join Kiersten and Cheryl as they talk about what kinds of nest boxes you can provide for your backyard birds. For our hearing-impaired listeners, a transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean.

We wanted our listeners to know what kind of food to feed to attract the kinds of birds you wanted to see in your backyard. It occurred to me the other day that Cheryl and I have yet to talk about the other way to attract birds to the backyard and that is using nest boxes. So, today's episode is all about the nest box. Cheryl: Just like bird feeding, putting up birdhouses in your yard has evolved over the years to incorporate seasonal bird behavior and new scientific discoveries. To truly give the birds outside the best chance at surviving our constantly changing world, there are new guidelines for putting up birdhouses. It's not a one size fits all device any more. You don't just put up something that looks great to you and has a hole with a perch under it and see what happens. By observing bird behavior in the wild we've determined the best ways to offer birds a safe and secure home for raising young. Following these guidelines is the best way for you to attract even more birds to your yard and enjoy them for generations to come. Kiersten: First of all, let's start off with features of a good birdhouse. These features are specific to birdhouses used for nesting, also referred to as nest boxes. There are a few important features for usable nest boxes and they apply to a box you make yourself or one that you purchase. First make sure the wood is untreated and unpainted. The best woods to use are cedar, pine, cypress, or for larger boxes, non-pressure treated CDX exterior grade plywood. Second, use galvanized screws for construction. These hold up better than nails and are easier to remove when repairs are needed. Third, make sure the roof is sloped and hangs over the main body of the house by 2-4 inches over the opening and 2 inches along the sides. This will help keep out rain even when it gets heavy and the wind is whipping wildly and will also help defend against predators. Adding ¼” cuts under all three edges of the roof will help funnel water away from the house, like rain gutters on our own houses. Fourth, a recessed floor helps keep the nest dry and prolongs the life of the box. Drainage holes on the floor are important, just in case water gets in. You can cut away the corners of the floor if you're making it yourself or drill 4 holes approximately 3/8” to ½” in diameter on the floor of a premade box. Sixth, to regulate the temperature the walls should be at least ¾” thick. We also want ventilation holes in both side walls, this is especially important in the heat of the southwest. There should be two holes at the top of each wall with 5/8” diameter. Cheryl: Seventh, predator prevention. Predators are something that birds have to deal with naturally, but remember we are offering them a house that they are not making themselves. When they make their own nest, they disguise it from the predators such as snakes, raccoons, chipmunks, and outdoor domestic cats. The box that we're offering can stick out like a sore thumb so we need to take a few precautions. First, no perches under the opening! The birds don't need them and it's like a welcome mat for predators. Add baffles to the structure where you've mounted the nest box. Using collar baffles or stovepipe baffles work great on poles and smaller trees. Noel guards, a wire mesh tube attached to the front of the house, is a good way to protect an opening on a box mounted on a tree that is too large for a baffle. Eight, make sure the opening of the box is the correct size for the birds you want to attract. Remember before when I said there are no one size fits all birdhouses? This is where some of our new information comes in to play. Each species of bird desires a specific size hole for their house. It is very important that the hole in the house is the correct size for the species of bird you want to attract. For example, an American Kestrel needs a hole 3” in diameter, a Northern Flicker needs a hole 2 ½” in diameter, and chickadees need a hole 1 1/8” in diameter. Hole size is also important in deterring non-native birds such as European Starlings and House Sparrows. Nine, rough up the interior wall beneath the opening. Rough walls help the chicks get out when it's time to fledge. You can use course sandpaper or cut long horizontal grooves into the wood below the opening. Tenth, make sure the back is slightly extended above and below the box to give you room to easily mount it on your pole or tree. Eleventh, last but not least you want one side to be hinged so it can be opened after nesting season for easy cleaning access. Now, we know this is a lot to remember but we'll share a link in our show notes so you can look up this list later. Kiersten: That's a perfect segue way into cleaning! This is also new and different from when we used to put up those cutesy birdhouses many moons ago. Do you need to clean your nest box out in between seasons? Yes! It's very important to clean out old nesting material every year. That why we're making one of the walls hinged. Removing old nesting material makes sure bacteria and detrimental insects are not passed from one family to the next. Typically, just opening the side panel and removing any plant matter that you find inside is enough, but if you had some especially dirty tenants, using a little warm water and plant-based soap (something like Simple Green or Seventh Generation) to remove poop is a good idea. Clean out your nest box after the last fledgling has left and you don't see any activity around the box for about ten days. When cleaning remember to protect yourself, as well. Use a dust mask and gloves to prevent any zoonotic disease transfer. Cheryl: Speaking of seasonal activities, when should I put out my nest box? In the southwest have your nest box mounted and ready for visitors by mid-February. This is typically when our year-round residents begin looking for nesting sites and when our part-time residents are migrating in. You can leave your nest box up year-round once you've found the perfect spot. To prevent unwanted guests such as European Starlings, bees, wasps, or squirrels from taking up residence in the off season you can close up your house. Plug up the opening and cover the ventilation holes like you might do for a cabin you only use in the spring or summer. To prevent honey bees or wasps from colonizing the nest box spray some non-stick cooking spray on the inside of the top of the box. This makes it too slippery for the insects to climb on. When it comes time for nesting season again, open everything up and give it a quick spring cleaning. Kiersten: Where should I put my nest box? This all depends on what bird species your box is made for. Every species has a preferred habitat. To help you decide which species you may want to attract go to nestwatch.org (I'll put the link in our show notes) and they have an interactive page called Right Bird, Right House. This is so cool! You put in what region you live in and what habitat surrounds your house. I put in the Southwest and the desert and it showed me which birds are in my area, where to attach my house, and what kind of house to build or buy. It tells you everything you need to know such as when they nest, how high the box should be, which direction it should be facing, and if they are in decline in your area. Some of the birds they show for the desert southwest are the barn owl, the Bewick's wren, brown-crested flycatcher, the elf owl, and the Say's Phoebe. If you live in the White Mountains or summer in a cabin you might put up a house for the black-crested titmouse, the bridled titmouse, the mountain bluebird, or the pygmy nuthatch. Now a note of caution in the Phoenix Valley, in the severe heat that we get here you need to be extra careful with where you put up a nest box. It should be in an area that is shaded almost all day. If you don't have any area like that or you can't put up a device to add shade, you may not want to place a nest box in your yard. Cheryl: If you put up a nest box but no one seems to be moving in, be patient. It can take up to a year for a nest box to be noticed and used. If you see some interested parties that just aren't buying, maybe you've put it in the wrong place or maybe mounted it too high or too low. There could be other things wrong that we don't see but the birds do. Nest Watch from The Cornell Lab of Ornithology has a trouble-shooting guide for nest box landlords that you can access online. And we'll post that link in our show notes. Kiersten: One last thing about nest boxes that I didn't even think about until I did the research for this episode. The question came up as to whether birds would use a nest box to roost in the winter? I'd never even thought about that, but as we just discussed we should be closing them up outside of breeding season. So… you can actually have a roosting box for your overwintering birds! What's the difference between a nest box and a roosting box? The design of each box is vastly different. A well-designed roost box prevents the birds' body heat from escaping, so it will have fewer ventilation holes than a nest box. The entrance hole will be near the bottom of the box to prevent the rising warm air from escaping which is opposite of the nesting box. Inside the roosting box there will be several perches to allow multiple birds to roost as opposed to an open area in a nest box where a nest can be made. Staggering the perching will allow for everyone to have their own spot but still be close enough to snuggle for warmth. Roughing up the sides is a great way to encourage clinging birds such as woodpeckers or creepers to use the box. Roosting boxes are usually larger than a single-family nest box to accommodate species that huddle in the winter. Hinging the top panel allows for easy cleaning after the winter season. This could be a great option for our Phoenix Valley residents who can't use a nest box because their yards are short on shade. These are not as readily available to purchase already made, but we'll post a few links that have blueprints for making your own. Cheryl: Just like feeding birds, placing nest and roost boxes in your yard should only be done if you are willing to take the time to do it right. You must have the time and motivation to use the correct products, place it in the best place, provide predator prevention, and be willing and able to clean it properly. If this is not something you can do in your own yard, reach out to your local birding groups and see if there are any community nest projects you could help with. Schools and daycares often get students to create nest boxes and mount them near their facilities. Maybe you can offer to help them out. If you do decide to put up a nest box, consider taking the next step and joining Project Nest Watch at Cornell. This is a citizen scientist program that teachs you how to monitor nest boxes for scientific studies. The data you record watching the birds you're already watching can help further our understanding of bird behavior. Kiersten: That's Nest Boxes in a nutshell. If you're interested in putting one up in your yard please check out our show notes and use the links we've provided to get more information to help you successfully offer your backyard birds a great place to raise a family. A future note: We will be taking a break in September 2023 but we'll be back with new full-length episodes in October!
By late summer, most birds hatched in spring are on their own, without help from their parents. Where do they go? Young migratory birds will head south in late summer or fall, in the pattern of their species. But most non-migratory birds born last spring — such as this immature Bewick's Wren — will need to find an unoccupied territory. So they disperse more widely than the established adults. Newly fledged Bald Eagles embark on a nomadic life. Sometimes they fly hundreds of miles in a day, a journey that may take them across the continent. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.

Today we're picking up an important thread we've been weaving through the podcast since the beginning - Queer menstruality.I'm back with Red School Leadership Mentor, Abi Denyer-Bewick and this time we're in conversation with the brilliant Lottie Randomly who graduated from the Red School Menstruality Leadership Programme in 2012.Lottie is a facilitator, educator, activist, writer and mentor with a background in mental health work and resilience building. They're also a ceremonialist, with a special interest in funerals, and they're especially drawn to the inner landscapes that people often fear passing through, such as menstruation and menopause as well as death and grief.In our conversation to day we're looking to expand the concepts around menstruality to include all people who menstruate - as well as people who don't - all in the name of belonging, which is at the heart of this work. We explore:- How the practice of menstrual cycle awareness naturally brings up questions and personal exploration around the identities we hold. - How to expand the conversation around menstruality expands to include the experiences of all people with menstrual cycles, including non-binary and gender-expansive folks.- “Menstrunormativity” and the harmful impacts around the unsaid assumptions about the menstrual cycle and menopause.---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Ian Rawes (1965-2021) was a sound recordist best known for creating the London Sound Survey, a huge collection of his recordings of the sounds of London. Before his death, Ian was recording the course of the night across the wilder places of East Anglia. He made these field recordings in remote locations across Norfolk and Suffolk, sometimes camping overnight in bird hides to capture the different nocturnal moments. Ian called the project, ‘From Dusk Till Dawn', and handed the recordings to his friend, composer/producer Iain Chambers, saying that he wanted them to bring about something new. Here, writer Kayo Chingonyi responds to the recordings, and Iain uses both elements to create a new composed sound piece, in tribute to Ian Rawes. We start at sunset: the sounds of wildfowl travel far across the flooded fields of the Ouse Washes in Cambridgeshire. Many are Bewick's and whooper swans spending the winter in the Fens before migrating back to Iceland and Siberia. https://thelondonsoundsurvey.bandcamp.com/album/from-dusk-till-dawn https://www.soundsurvey.org.uk Recordings – Ian Rawes / The London Sound Survey Words/voice – Kayo Chingonyi Composer/producer – Iain Chambers Mixing engineer – Peregrine Andrews Executive Producer – Nina Perry An Open Audio production for BBC Radio 3
Moment solennel, tout dernier épisode de grande saga dédiée à la migration des oiseaux. La présentation qui suit est de Gilbert Blaising, de oiseaux.net. Le réchauffement climatique a entraîné des modifications notables dans le comportement migratoire de certaines espèces d'oiseaux. Il est prévisible que ces changements se poursuivent et même s'accentuent. Des hirondelles hivernent maintenant en France au lieu de se rendre en Afrique. Celles qui y descendent encore partent plus tard et reviennent plus tôt. Les cigognes restent au stand aussi. Les migrations étant ainsi écourtées, les oiseaux concernés font, en grande partie, l'économie des énormes dépenses d'énergie qu'exigeaient ces voyages au long cours et qui étaient la cause d'une importante mortalité à coté des accidents, de la prédation et de la chasse. Autres avantages pour ceux qui renoncent à hiverner en Afrique subsaharienne: ils échapperont à: La pénurie de nourriture liée à la désertification des régions sahéliennes L'assèchement des zones humides tropicales La montée du niveau des océans qui envahira les vasières des estuaires riches en nourriture et donc indispensables aux haltes alimentaires. L'avantage pour beaucoup d'oiseaux d'Europe du Centre et du Nord de pouvoir écourter leur voyage saisonnier a pour contrepartie une redoutable menace. Beaucoup d'espèces nichent dans la toundra arctique parce que les larves d'insectes, moustiques en particulier, y pullulent l'été. Or ce milieu, très vulnérable au réchauffement, est en train de reculer au profit de la taïga. On estime que la toundra est condamnée à disparaître à terme, entraînant le déclin, voire la perte de très nombreuses espèces qui s'y reproduisent exclusivement, comme les cygnes de Bewick, les oies rieuses, les bernaches à cou roux et une grande variété de chevaliers et de bécasseaux. En même temps, le réchauffement des eaux superficielles de l'Atlantique modifie la répartition des poissons et donc des oiseaux qui s'en nourrissent. Ces espèces risquent donc de quitter nos côtes et nos îles pour suivre le déplacement vers le Nord du phytoplancton qui est à la base de toute la chaîne alimentaire marine. Ces évolutions imputables au réchauffement du climat vont se combiner au déclin de bien des espèces provoqué par les activités humaines. Certes, les oiseaux ne risquent pas de disparaître pour laisser des - Printemps silencieux - Au contraire, certaines espèces, dites - généralistes -, prospèrent, car plus adaptables à une grande variété de milieux. C'est le cas par exemple des pigeons ramiers, des mésanges charbonnières, des fauvettes à tête noire. Globalement toutefois, notre faune aviaire qui était considérée comme la plus riche d'Europe tend et tendra toujours plus vers la banalisation et l'uniformisation. Mais les Français et les Européens, urbanisés à plus de 80%, en prendront-ils seulement conscience pour éventuellement le déplorer et réagir ? _______ Tous les épisodes de la saga Migrations des oiseaux : https://bit.ly/migrations_1_leg_defs_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_2_typ_dir_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_3_voi_zones_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_4_met_etudes_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_5_pilotg_nav_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_6_prepa_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_7_records_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_8_curiosites_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_9_ete_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_10_automne_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_11_hiver_BSG https://bit.ly/migrations_12_printemps_BSG _______ Notre invité Adrien de Montaudouin est ornithologue et fondateur de l'association CPAL.

Summary: Wrens are some of the most charismatic families of songbirds! Join Cheryl and Kiersten as they introduce you to some found in the Southwest. For our hearing impaired listeners, a transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean. Show Notes: www.allaboutbirds.org “Western Chatterboxes” by Ken Keffer, Birds and Blooms Magazine pg 26-32. Background bird song: Naturescapes Backyard Birds www.naturescapes.com Our email address, please reach out with comments, questions, or suggestions: thefeathereddesert@gmail.com Cheryl: Intro Wrens are small birds but what they do not have in size they make up for in personality, chatter, and curiosity. Our Sonoran Desert has several wrens flit through our desert and urban landscapes. Kiersten: Cactus Wren The Cactus wren is a large, chunky wren with a long heavy bill, a long rounded tail, and short, rounded wings. The Cactus wren is the largest wren in the U.S. It also has the distinction of being the state bird of Arizona. This wren is a speckled brown bird with bright white eyebrows that extend from the bill across and above their red eyes to the sides of the neck. They have pale cinnamon sides and a white chest with dark speckles. The back is brown with heavy white streaks, and the tail is barred white and black. Males and females look alike. Unlike other wrens that typically hide in vegetation, the cactus wren seems to have no fear. They perch a top cacti and other shrubs to announce their presence and forage out in the open. These birds do not cock their tails over their back the way other wrens do. Instead, Cactus wrens fan their tail feathers, flashing white tail tips. Cactus wrens, as we have mentioned in previous podcasts, make more than one nest a year, its spherical, with males and females occupying different nests through out the year. Cactus Wren is an insect eater. When feeding its nestlings it will pull the wings of the grasshopper before it feeds it to its baby. That's a lot of wings because one Cactus Wren nestling eats 14 grasshoppers a day. Cactus Wrens live in desert, arid foothills, coastal sage scrub and urban areas of the southwest. They especially love areas with thorny shrubs like the Cholla and Prickly pear. Cheryl: Rock Wren Medium-sized wren with a long tail and thin bill. Pale brown above and whitish below with slight buffy or peachy wash on the lower belly. Back and wings are finely speckled. Underpants are finely streaked, but often look whitish. The small industrious Rock Wren constantly hops around rocks, investigating crannies for insects and spiders, which they extract with their delicate bill. This resourceful species thrives even in bleak desert settings occupied by few other birds. The rock wren is not known to drink water but instead gets all it needs from its food. Male Rock wren is a truly remarkable singer and can have a large song repertoire of 100 or more songs, many it has learned from its neighbors. Rock Wrens are on of the few bird species that uses landscapes significantly altered by industry or tother human activity. Nesting is road cuts, railroad tunnels, gravel pits, clearcuts, coalmine spoils, and refuse heaps. Kiersten: Canyon Wren A tiny bird with a big voice, the Canyon Wren, sings a gorgeous series of sweet, cascading whistles that echo off the rocky walls of its canyon habitat. Canyon Wrens are incredibly agile birds that hunt for insects mostly among rocks, scaling cliff faces and using their long slender bills to probe into crevices with surgical precision. They are a warm cinnamon -brown with a salt and pepper pattern on their head, and neat white throat patch. The vertebral column of the Canyon Wren is attached higher on the skull than it is on most birds. This modification, along with a slightly flattened skull, allows a Canyon Wren to probe for food in tight crevices without bumping its head. Canyon Wrens sometimes steal insects trapped in spiderwebs or stowed in wasp nests. Cheryl: Bewick's Wren-pronounced Bu-ick's The Bewick's Wren is a medium-size brown wren with a long tail that is often held up. The bill is long and slightly curved. Note the white eyebrows and dark barring on the tail. These are boisterous and curious birds. Their plumage varies regionally from rusty-brown in humid areas to grayish- brown in drier regions. Bewick's Wrens are noisy, hyperactive little birds. They are master vocalists that belt out a string of short whistles, warblers, burrs, and trills to attract mates and defend their territory, or scold visitors with raspy calls. A young male Bewick's wren learns to sing from neighboring adult males while he is coming of age in his parents territory. The songs he develops differ from his father's, with a note changed here or a syllable there. The melodious signature he acquires between the ages of about 30 and 60 days will be his for life. These wrens are common in much of the western North America. Bewick's wrens eat insects, but will eat fruits, seeds and other plant matter especially in winter. Bewick's wrens build their nests in cavities or on ledges about 30 ft off the ground. Kiersten: House Wrens The house wren is a small, nondescript brown bird with a short tail, thin bill and dark barring on wings and tail with a paler throat. House wrens have a effervescent voice and is a common visitor to backyards. Spending its time zipping through shrubs and low tree branches snatching at insects. Because they are cavity nesters, house wrens thrive around buildings, yards, farms, and other human habitations with their many nooks and crannies. House wrens eat a variety of insects and spiders, including beetles, caterpillars, earwigs and daddy long legs, also small snails for the grit to aid in digestion and calcium. The house wren has on of the largest ranges of any song bird in North or South America because it breeds from Canada through the west indies and Central America, southward to the southern most point of South America. Generally, Bewick's wrens and House wrens will not nest in the same areas. So you can imagine the pressure the Bewick's wren is under with the success of the House wren. Cheryl: Closing These amazing small birds are full of personality and big voices so it is a joy to spend time with them here in the Phoenix Valley where it is home to a variety of these wrens.

Today on Too Opinionated, DJ, House Music Producer, Singer/Songwriter Nick Bewick drops in for a visit! Nick Bewick discovered his passion for music at a young age. Growing up in Ohio, he enjoyed listening to the tunes of Daft Punk and Britney Spears, artists who inspired him to dream big and pursue a career in music. In the late 2000s, Nick took a leap of faith and made his way to the West Coast - planting roots in sunny Los Angeles, California. From 2017 - 2020, Nick joined Core Church in Los Angeles, devoting his time weekly to sing for various services. Along with the rest of the world in 2020, performing at Core or at any live events was on hold. As a result, Nick decided to focus his energy on songwriting and producing his own music. 2021 was a banner year for Nick as he wrote, produced & released 7 original tracks, available on Spotify and Soundcloud - the most recent being MAKE IT BACK. The inspiration behind MAKE IT BACK stems from a dream Nick had of one of his music idols, Mariah Carey. In his dream, she was singing lyrics that spoke to his soul. Shortly after he awoke, he forced himself to quickly record the hook into his voice notes. After writing the verses and the bridge around the hook, he felt that the song was a way to express a message that no matter what negative people do or say and no matter what the world tries to take from you, you can always make it back. His philosophy is that there is always hope - no one is ever never too far-gone to "make it back," no matter what adversities anyone has faced.

When conservationist Sacha Dench was asked to look into the decline of the Bewick's swan, she faced a problem – how to get engagement from industry, and members of the public? The key Sacha found was storytelling.Sacha – AKA “the human swan” – is the co-founder and CEO of Conservation Without Borders and a UN ambassador for migratory species. In her discussion with Julia, Sacha sets out the need for environmental NGOs to collaborate more, for people to come to an agreement making one party wrong, and sets out her style of regenerative leadership.Content warning: This episode contains mentions of contemplating suicide.Things to considerOur minds can provide us with entirely new thinking, and allow us to see a set of circumstances in a totally new way.We don't have all the answers, but we can ask people for help.Stories can help us wake up to our own thinking, and change it.LinksConservation Without BordersSacha's Wikipedia entryFlight of the Ospreys – BBC Radio 4
Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.11.03.515052v1?rss=1 Authors: Hu, X., Xiao, W., Lei, Y., Green, A. J., Li, X., Maradana, M. R., Gao, Y., Xie, X., Wang, R., Chennell, G., Basson, M. A., Kille, P., Maret, W., Bewick, G., Zhou, Y., Hogstrand, C. Abstract: Both zinc and plant-derived ligands of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) are dietary components which regulate intestinal epithelial barrier function and protect against Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)1,2. Here, we explore whether zinc and AHR pathway are linked using a mouse IBD model with follow-on studies on human and mouse ileum organoids. Our data demonstrate that AHR regulates cellular zinc uptake, and that zinc is an integral part of AHR signalling processes. We show that dietary supplementation in mice with the plant-derived AHR ligand precursor, indole-3-carbinol (I3C), offers a high level of protection against dextran sulfate sodium induced IBD while protection fails in mice with AHR deleted in the intestinal epithelium. AHR agonist treatment is also ineffective in mice with a nutritional zinc deficiency. Experiments in the human Caco-2 cell line and ileum organoids showed that AHR activation increases total cellular zinc and cytosolic free Zn2+ concentrations through transcriptional upregulation of several SLC39 zinc importers. As a consequence, genes for tight junction (TJ) proteins were upregulated in a zinc-dependent manner involving zinc inhibition of signalling to NF-{kappa}B and attenuated degradation of TJ proteins through zinc inhibition of calpain activity. Thus, our data indicate that AHR activation by plant-derived dietary ligands improves gut barrier function via zinc-dependent cellular pathways, suggesting that combined dietary supplementation with AHR ligands and zinc might be effective in preventing and treating inflammatory gut disorders.

How can storytelling help to tackle some of the biggest issues of our time, like climate change and biodiversity loss? And what role can migratory birds play, like swans and ospreys? To talk about these issues and many more is today's guest, Sacha Dench. Sacha is the CEO of Conservation Without Borders, which organises inspiring expeditions following the paths of migratory birds, along the lines of both geographical and political borders. By displaying the flyways from the air, land and sea, they help to highlight the importance of collective action in the fight against climate change and biodiversity collapse. Sacha is an adventurer, a conservationist, a champion freediver, and is known as the human swan for her paramotor journey in 2016 following the Bewick's Swan's migration from the Russian Arctic all the way to the UK. We spoke to her in the final days before her latest expedition, from the UK, through Europe and into Africa, charting the flight of the Osprey, and the impacts of climate change on migratory birds. In this episode, we talk about the realities of climate change and the importance of storytelling and communications for conservation, and how to stay hopeful and optimistic for the future. Sacha also shares her inspiring career so far, along with her top advice for people like you who might be seeking to follow in her footsteps. It's a wide-ranging, enjoyable and really eye-opening chat. Enjoy.
One of the beautifully challenging things about cultivating an intimacy with our menstrual cycles, or menopause process, is that it opens us up to the world. To the beauty of life, and to the pain. This quality of tender, unarmoured presence is real medicine for a world that can feel full of conflict, pretense, injustice and a lack of capacity to be with difference. A devoted practice of cycle awareness helps us to see that we all belong; to ourselves, to the rhythm and flow of the natural world, and to each other.Today we're marking Pride Month, with a podcast episode about how menstrual cycle awareness can help us to be with difference, and create true cultures of belonging. Our guest is Abi Denyer-Bewick, a queer menstuality educator and member of the Red School faculty. We chat about the menstruality learning session she recently offered our Menstruality Leadership Programme graduates on 'Inclusive menstruality', including:- How to create a culture of belonging for women and everyone who menstruates.- What life might look like for a trans, non-binary or gender expansive menstruator.- How to work with the fear, trauma or other big emotions that may arise as we explore how to be with difference, together. We also share some guidance for how to take this belonging and inclusion work deeper, from a range of brilliant LGBTQ+ educators. ---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

The vernal equinox, the first day of spring. The moment when the sun is directly above the equator, and day and night are nearly equal all over the world. Yet birds sense the growing hours of daylight through a surge of hormones. It's time to sing! Both science and folklore tie spring to the renewal of nature, as the world awakens from the long cold winter.

Check out our Christmas special of the programme (!) When Tom Bewick shared the presenter mic for the first time with the UK's employment minister, Mims Davies MP. Before entering Parliament, Mims was previously a local BBC radio DJ. So, the Skills World Live production team were honoured to record an episode with Mims, which was all about how the Department for Work and Pensions has been working to prevent a public health crisis from turning into a employment crisis during the pandemic. On the back of better than expected employment figures (unemployment at 4.2%), including a record number of vacancies (1.2 million) in the British economy, Mims and Tom, interviewed guests who have been at the front line of delivering these impressive results.

By late summer, most birds hatched in spring are on their own, without help from their parents. Where do they go? Young migratory birds will head south in late summer or fall, in the pattern of their species. But most non-migratory birds born last spring — such as an immature Bewick's Wren — will need to find an unoccupied territory. So they disperse more widely than the established adults. Newly fledged Bald Eagles embark on a nomadic life. Sometimes they fly hundreds of miles in a day, a journey that may take them across the continent. Learn more at BirdNote.org.

Dr Julian Abel is a recently retired consultant in palliative care, former Vice President of Public Health Palliative Care International, and co-author with Lindsay Clarke of The Compassion Project: A Case for Hope and Humankindness from the Town that Beat Loneliness. From childhood Julian has tried to seek out what he can do that is “meaningful and helpful.” Going into healthcare was a direct expression of that. When he first entered medicine he discovered that it had a pronounced hierarchy. “The patient was nowhere near the top.” After a spell studying Chinese medicine and cranial osteopathy, he became a palliative care consultant in Weston-super-Mare within a service that covered hospice, community and hospitals. He became particularly interested in the community dimension of this because he came to understand that “the thing that makes the biggest difference is not the professional support but the love, laughter and friendship.” He says that it is deeply embedded in our nervous system: “we have a prosocial nervous system.” Julian's book The Compassion Project is largely based on the Compassion Frome Model initiated by Dr Helen Kingston and Jenny Hartnoll, and which Julian helped to lead. It spun out of a paper initiated by Helen. Julian supported the paper with some statistics, which included that emergency admissions in Frome had decreased by 14% whilst in the rest of Somerset they had risen by 29%. It was clear that they were onto something. Up until this point no-one had come across an intervention that would reduce population emergency admissions. The team decided that they need to ‘go public' and explain the building blocks of what they were doing and the benefits. Julian co-authored an article in Resurgence magazine, that was reported in the Guardian. Someone read the publicity and approached the Frome team concerning the possibility of writing a book. The Compassionate Frome model provides a means of connecting lonely and isolated patients with the plethora of activities that are going on in the community. The friendships brokered by Compassionate Frome create mental wellbeing which, via the mind-body connection, is reflected in physical wellbeing. Community connectors and health connectors play a key role in the Frome model. There are around 700 of the former (in a population of 28,000). The role of the community connectors is, by reference to a web directory, to signpost people to activities in the community that might be of interest. Julian the conversations that each connector has as a “little explosion of compassion in the community.” The health connectors are fewer in number and help people gain clarity on what is important to them and what they need when they are not in touch with these things. They are trained in motivational interviewing. His son Bewick has taken compassionate thinking into his primary school, located in a hard-pressed community. The first thing he did was help children recognise and name their emotions. And then they talked about which ones were beneficial to school life and which ones were harmful. More recently they have introduced a morning check-in, where they ask one another how they are, and if there is anything they can do to make it better. In time the children became happier and more connected and educational attainment improved dramatically. Julian feels that one of the challenges of the UK education system is that many of the ministers and civil servants are emotionally inarticulate themselves. Julian has formed an organisation Compassionate Communities UK (you can find it on the web at compassionate-communities.co.uk). It is focused on sharing, developing expertise, and education. Some of its work is professional facing and some is public facing. Julian's podcast ‘Survival of the Kindest' is also part of it. Julian is looking to develop expertise around community sources of support for trauma. “If you just rely on professional services, it's never going to...

Essendon great Darren Bewick joined the boys to chat about his greatest night on the footy field - 9 goals v Geelong in the centenary game, 1996
For March, we explore the traditional names for the month, the moons and the tides, the changing hedgerows, the hedgehogs coming out of hibernation, the migration of Bewick’s swans and the history and folklore surrounding the humble daffodil. 'As the Season Turns' is a podcast created by Ffern and presented by the nature writer and author of the Seasonal Almanac Lia Leendertz. Each episode, released on the first of every month, is a guide to what to look out for in the month ahead - from the sky above to the land below.
In April 1982, President Ronald Regan gave a speech before the U.S. Chamber of Congress saying: “Entrepreneurs are heroes of modern times. They rarely receive the credit they deserve. Treasury Secretary Don Regan recently reminded the student body of Bucknell University that it was under capitalism that mankind brought ‘light where before there was darkness, heat where once there was only cold, medicines where there was sickness and disease, food where there was scarcity, and wealth where humanity was living in squalor.' And much of what he was talking about came into being in the lifetime of many of us here in this room. But the societies which achieve the most spectacular progress in the shortest period of time are not the most tightly controlled, the biggest in size, or the wealthiest in material resources. They are societies that reward initiative and believe in the magic of the marketplace…” (Source: Small Business Trends) As we take this day to remember our presidents, we want to also recognize and learn from those presidents who made entrepreneurial ventures, took risks, and helped add to the prosperity of this country. Although each of them was not successful, there is something to be learned from their stories. Today we will be recognizing 11 entrepreneur U.S. Presidents along with their challenges, resilience, and successes. These 11 entrepreneur Presidents are from both major U.S. political parties, and I understand that some of these Presidents are controversial to some people. By including them in this article, I'm not endorsing their political views. Instead, I'm trying to learn and teach what I can from their experiences as entrepreneurs. 1. George Washington (1789-1797): 1st President “The harder the conflict, the greater the triumph.”- President Washington While most presidents were entrepreneurs before they took office, President Washington didn't become an entrepreneur until after his final term as president. For much of his childhood, Washington lived on a farm in Mount Vernon, Virginia, which was later inherited by his half-brother, Lawrence. When Lawrence passed away, Washington leased it from Lawrence's wife and inherited it in 1761 (Source: History.com). He later renovated the estate into a mansion, gardens, a place to lay family tombs, shops, barns, and various living quarters. Washington even turned a large portion into farms as wheat being his main harvest. He then packaged the wheat and created GW Flour, one of the very first branded food products (Source: GoodReads review of “George Washington, Entrepreneur”), which was then exported throughout the US and Europe. President Washington's farm manager, James Anderson, later encouraged Washington to open up a distillery on the grounds of Mount Vernon, Virginia, and “with just a boiler and five copper stills, the 2,250 square-foot distillery became profitable almost instantly.” (Source: Ondeck) By the year 1799, Washington had one of the largest distilleries in the country making 11,000 gallons per year (Source: Business News Daily). 2. Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865): 16th President “Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing.”- President Lincoln In 1833 and at the age of 23, President Lincoln and his friend, William Berry, opened up a general store called Lincoln-Berry in New Salem, Illinois. Many sources say that they were not very successful as they purchased inventory from other stores on credit and then made a profit by reselling the items. Although the economy was doing very well at the time, the location of their store wasn't ideal as the town stopped growing. Lincoln had to sell his share of the store as a result, and after Berry died, Lincoln received his $1,000 debt (Source: Business News Daily), which resulted in Lincoln's bankruptcy. Over 17 years, soon to be President Lincoln was required to pay his creditors back (Source: Legal Zoom). “Despite it all, Lincoln was known to rise triumphantly out of failure. He went on to launch a successful law practice in 1837, and became the only president to receive a patent in 1849” (Source: OnDeck), which was for a device to lift riverboats over sandbars. “The best way to predict your future is to create it.”- President Lincoln 3. Andrew Johnson (1865-1869): 17th President “I realized, there are people out there who can beat me, want to beat me. And unless I continue to innovate and evolve, I am going to learn a painful lesson from someone who has.”- President Johnson Before becoming President of the United States and running political campaigns, President Johnson was a very successful tailor and real estate owner. His mother was also a very talented seamstress who helped Andrew find an apprenticeship in Greeneville, Tennessee when he was only 18-years-old (Source: OnDeck). His talents with tailoring flourished, he opened up a shop in 1826, which became very successful, and he started investing in real estate from there. A fun fact about President Johnson is that while working at his tailor shop, “it eventually became a gathering place for political debate, and Johnson held his first meetings as an alderman (an elected member of a municipal council) in 1829.” (Source: OnDeck) 4. Warren Harding (1921-1923): 29th President “America's present need is not heroics but healing; not nostrums but normalcy; not revolution but restoration.”- President Harding President Harding was raised in a family that found interest in the newspaper. He eventually attended school at Ohio Central College, and there, according to an article by Business News Daily, “he studied the newspaper trade in college after dabbling in teaching, insurance, and law,” and graduated at the age of seventeen. Two years later, he and several partners purchased the Ohio newspaper, The Marion Star, for $300 (Source: OnDeck) while it was near bankruptcy. Their biggest challenge was owning a Republican newspaper in a Democratic area (Source: OnDeck), but Harding completely turned things around with his wife's help in managing the newspaper. The Marion Star eventually became “the city's official daily newspaper.” (Source: CheatSheet) After receiving full ownership of the paper at the age of 21, Harding became worn down and had to spend time at a local sanitarium (Source: Business News Daily). He eventually recovered, found favor in his writing from local politicians, and earned revenue to run his political campaigns (Source: FreedomVoice Blog). He was a very successful businessman and after being in the newspaper business for 39 years (Source: TIME), he was able to sell the newspaper before dying in 1923 for $550,000, which is equivalent to $7 Million today (Source: Business News Daily). “Today, the business (from the newspaper in Ohio called the Marion Star) is still alive and owned by the Gannett Company, a publicly-traded media holding company.” (Source: NextShark) 5. Herbert Hoover (1929-1933): 31st President “Competition is not only the basis of protection to the customer, but is the incentive to progress.” - President Hoover At the age of 40, Herbert Hoover became a millionaire (Source: FreedomVoice Blog), but he found success from his labors by being diligent and resilient. When Herbert was 9-years-old, he became an orphan along with his two siblings. His uncle eventually took them in, but according to an article by Miller Center, “the young Hoover was shy, sensitive, introverted, and somewhat suspicious, characteristics that developed, at least in part, in reaction to the loss of his parents at such a young age.” Although he had average to failing grades except for math (Source: Miller Center), Hoover was determined and attended Stanford University. According to the same source, he worked in the clerk's registration office to pay for tuition and began using his entrepreneurial skills by creating a student laundry service. After graduating college with a geology degree, he got a job with Bewick, Moreing & Co working 70 hours/week in a gold mine pushing carts. Hoover then left to start his own mining consulting business called Burmese silver mines, which focused on reorganizing failing companies and finding investors to pay for developing new mines. His company quickly employed 175,000 employees (Source: Entrepreneur), and the success that he built with his company earned him the title of “Doctor of sick mines.” (Source: OnDeck) By the time that he was forty, his wealth had grown not only from his company but from publishing a leading textbook on mining engineering. Other entrepreneurial successes he had included inventing a new process to extract zinc that had been lost and starting up in the Zinc Corporation, which later became part of a larger corporation (Source: Business News Daily). 6. Franklin Roosevelt (1933-1945): 32nd President “The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it: If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.”- President Roosevelt At the age of 39, Franklin Roosevelt became ill with many symptoms, including paralysis of his legs. Although he was first diagnosed with paralytic poliomyelitis, his symptoms were shown to be more consistent with Guillain-Barre syndrome (Source: Pubmed). Despite his physical circumstances, he refused to accept that he would be permanently paralyzed. He became president in 1933, but before his political endeavors, he founded a hydrotherapy center in 1926 for the treatment of his disease, according to the FreedomVoice Blog. It became known as the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation and still operates, serving about 4,000 people each year with all types of disabilities (Source: Entrepreneur). 8. Harry Truman (1945-1953): 33rd President “I studied the lives of great men and famous women, and I found that the men and women who got to the top were those who did the jobs they had in hand, with everything they had of energy and enthusiasm and hard work.”- President Truman Due to medical issues, President Truman is the only president elected after 1897 who did not earn a college degree (Source: Business News Daily). He then served in France during WWI and upon returning home, Truman and his wartime friend, Eddie Jacobson, opened up a men's clothing store in Kansas City, Missouri, which was successful for three years before failing, due to the postwar recession. “After his shop went bankrupt, it took him 15 years to pay off his share of the firm's debts. Nevertheless, the store established Truman's reputation as a respected businessman, which in turn set him on the path to civic engagement.” (Source: OnDeck) This new path paved the way for greater success in other offices. According to the same article by OnDeck, he even joined the Triangle Club, which is an association of businessmen committed to improving the city, and became involved in activities with the American Legion. 9. Jimmy Carter (1977-1981): 39th President “It's not necessary to fear the prospect of failure but to be determined not to fail.”- President Carter When President Carter was 10-years-old, he stocked his family's peanut farm with produce and took it to town to be sold. He continued to save the money he made, and by the age of 13, “he bought five houses around the plains which the Great Depression put on the market at rock-bottom prices. He then rented the homes to families in the area.” (Source: Abby Connect) The risk of losing the 2,500-acre peanut farm became very high when his father died of cancer in 1953. According to an article by Entrepreneur, Carter then returned home from the Navy to manage the struggling peanut farm. “Carter reportedly threw himself into farming the way he had with his naval duties, and hard work and effective management made the Carter farm prosperous by 1959.” (Source: Entrepreneur) In 1971, a sudden drought hit, bringing another risk to the farm, so Carter bought local farmers' peanuts and sold them in bulk to big processors. “This led Carter Warehouse to gross $800,000 annually by 1971, up from a mere $184 when Carter started.” (Source: TIME) 9. George H.W. Bush (1989-1993): 41st President "No problem of human making is too great to be overcome by human ingenuity, human energy, and the untiring hope of the human spirit."- President George H.W. Bush President George H.W. Bush found much entrepreneurial success from the oil industry, after graduating from Yale with an economics degree. He first started in oil as a salesperson for Dresser (Source: Time), then later formed a partnership with his neighbor, John Overby, and created the Bush-Overby Oil Development Co. in 1951. Due to family connections, the company was financed with nearly half a million dollars from Bush's uncle (Source: Entrepreneur). The success of the company grew, and in 1954, Bush-Overby Oil controlled 71 wells, which produced 1,250 barrels of oil per day (Source: LegalZoom). By 1953, their company then merged with another independent oil company to create Zapata Petroleum, of which Bush became president (Source: Entrepreneur). After years of growth and in 1966, Bush was able to sell his holding and made about $1 Million doing so (Source: TIME). "Be bold in your caring, be bold in your dreaming and above all else, always do your best."- President George H.W. Bush 10. George W. Bush (2001-2009): 43rd President “Prosperity results from entrepreneurship and ingenuity.”- President George W. Bush George W. Bush earned his bachelor's degree from Yale and then became the first US president to earn his MBA, which he received from Harvard. After school, he followed in his father's footsteps in the oil industry, but took a different approach as he “searched mineral-rights titles in county courthouses around West Texas and then would see if the owners would lease those rights to oil companies.” (Source: Time) In 1977, he then founded his own company called Arbusto (Spanish for Bush), which focused on low-risk, low-return wells, and found a relatively low gas field (Source: Abby Connect). Eventually, the price of oil dropped, and their company became very high-risk. Spectrum 7 Energy Corporation jumped in and rescued their company, merging the two in 1984 with Bush as the CEO, according to an article by LegalZoom. “After losing $400,000, it was purchased by Harken Energy Corporation, and Bush served as a consultant to Harken,” (Source: LegalZoom) After working in the oil industry for many years, Bush decided to move into sports and invested in the Texas Rangers MLB team with $600,000 (Source: Entrepreneur). According to the same article by Entrepreneur, he then sold his stakes for the team in 1998 for $15 Million, a 2,400% ROI. 11. Donald Trump (2017-2021): 45th President “As long as you are going to be thinking anyway, think big.”- President Donald Trump Donald Trump is a real estate guru. He studied real estate at the University of Pennsylvania Wharton School and invested in Philadelphia real estate while studying there. He took over his family's company to develop it into an international brand and according to Abby Connect, in the 1970s he began branching into Manhattan skyscrapers and renamed the company Trump Organization. He's built luxurious hotels such as the Grand Hyatt Hotel and Trump Plaza, Trump's Tower on Fifth Avenue, as well as the Trump headquarters. In the 1980s, he started placing casinos in Atlantic City, adding to Trump Plaza, and Trump Castle. In 1990, he even opened up his own Trump Taj Mahal, known as his own “eighth wonder of the world.” (Source: Abby Connect) According to Time, Trump appears to own or control more than 500 businesses in some two-dozen countries around the world! He has been very successful, but not without several bankruptcies, according to Abby Connect. Amidst his many businesses all over the world, he has also published books, opened up golf and hotel resorts, owned beauty pageants, and created his own branded products such as Trump steaks, Trump University, Trump shuttle, and Trump Success Eau De Toilette (Source: Business News Daily). “Get going. Move forward. Aim High. Plan a takeoff. Don't just sit on the runway and hope someone will come along and push the airplane. It simply won't happen. Change your attitude and gain some altitude. Believe me, you'll love it up here.”- President Donald Trump Key Takeaways Here are some of my key takeaways from this episode: President Washington the greater the conflict, the better the triumph. We savor the hard-won victories even more. President Lincoln taught us to not let failure stop us. Perseverance is a key attribute of successful entrepreneurs. President Johnson taught us that unless we continue to innovate and evolve, we're going to learn a painful lesson from someone who has. This is so true with tectonic shifts. Don't be afraid to take risks. Be determined, don't get caught up in the circumstances, and press forward as President Harding did. Current circumstances will not remain forever. Diligence and resilience go on a long way as President Hoover has proven. President Roosevelt encouraged us to be bold and persistently experiment. Try something. If it fails, pivot or move onto another. President Truman taught that those who made it to the top were those who did the work, with enthusiasm and everything they had. Whatever we do, we should do our best and give it all we have. President Carter taught us that we don't need to be afraid of failure, we just have to be determined no to fail. President George H.W. Bush taught us to be bold in our caring and dreaming. President George W. Bush taught us that prosperity comes from entrepreneurship and ingenuity. President Trump taught us to move forward, aim high, and create a plan. We shouldn't wait around for others to do the work for us or to make things happen. Want to be a Better Digital Monetizer?

Trinity 2 - Eucharist - 21 June 2020
I caught up with my long time Twitter friend David Dinsley to talk about his obsession with wildlife conservation, photography and adventures as a ranger working with the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust. We talk about his expedition to Arctic Russia trapping and tagging Bewick's swans to trace their movements and find out why they are declining. There's also some healthy, competitive debate in the great North-South divide in who has the best wildlife, Northumberland or London. Sadly for me I think David's winning. Wait until you hear about some of the fantastic species he sees and photographs regularly! Jealous, me?!Sean's Wild Life podcast is produced and edited by Thomas Ntinas.

On SkillsWorld this week, Tom Bewick speaks to Professor Martin Doel OBE CBE of University College London. Many listeners will be familiar with Martin’s work when he was chief executive of the Association of Colleges — a role he held between 2008 and 2015. Tom caught up with Martin before he gave a major keynote speech to the Federation of Awarding Bodies annual conference in October 2019. During the podcast interview, Professor Doel confides: “There were times at the AOC when it felt like we were there to make the world less worse…. It was at the time of the worst financial entrenchment in our nation’s [peacetime] history, since the mid-1930s. Despite this, by the time I walked away from it in 2015, the Spending Review had help stabilise the sector, albeit at a funding level that is too low." Looking ahead to the challenges of FE and technical education, he says:“We ensured a focus on technical and professional education that had not been in the system hitherto…. There will be more money and attention on FE in the future…. [But] there will need to be a more interventionist approach to skills development because of external factors like Brexit, and the shift from fixed assets in the economy to more intangible assets…. In a post-market economy in FE, you do need to liberate both innovation and enterprise at the delivery level.”

On this episode Ira and I sat down at Descend on Bend and had an honest conversation about Ira's journey into vanlife. From her thoughts and experiences of being lonely on the road to finding the love of her life, Ira takes us on an untold journey of how it all came to be. It was so special getting to know Ira on a deeper level as we worked through a stimulating conversation about Ira's past. Did you know she lived in an attic and a Bewick before finally finding Ruby, her beloved VW van from @gowesty? We discuss everything from how humans are always looking for the next big thing to how women have this idea of needing to be seen as independent, when really, we all just want love. Thank you @Irawolfmusic for sharing your story with us and being the courageous woman that you are. If you haven't already you must check out Ira Wolf's music on Spotify- I promise you wont be disappointed. Love & gratitude, Nikky AUDIO edit by @nathantomsic

Dan Bewick was one half of prolific dance production outfit Dirty Rotten Scoundrels - but before that, he was an illegal rave promoter and DJ in London. Since them, he's gone on to have a successful career scoring films and TV adverts, based out of LA. Dan's journey has seen him touring the world playing some of the biggest gigs imaginable - but also holding residencies where he honed the DJ craft, enduring the hardships of trying to move permanently from London to LA - and coming into work one Monday morning to face seven lawsuits for a bootleg he'd put out that was blowing up BIG across the dance world. In this wide-ranging and at times hilarious episode of Tales From The Dancefloor, Dan shares how he's coped with all the ups and downs, how he completely lost the plot in a field in the 90s (which shaped what was to come)... and what it felt like to arrive at work to face all those lawsuits!
Welcome to another Slow Radio podcast. In this episode, there are the mesmerising sounds of storm Erik tearing through the rigging and halyards on the boats in Blyth harbour, Northumberland.

Every home game this year we will be honouring a legend of the Club. Our Bomber Legend for Round 6 is Darren Bewick. Darren sat down with essendonfc.com.au writer Rohan Connolly to talk about his journey to the Bombers, his premiership success and post-career coaching roles.
Wikipedia tells us that "Thomas Bewick (1753 – 1828) was an English engraver and author. Early in his career he took on all kinds of work such as engraving , making the wood blocks for advertisements, and illustrating children's books. He gradually turned to illustrating, writing and publishing his own books, gaining an adult audience for the fine illustrations in A History of Quadrupeds. His career began when he was apprenticed to engraver Ralph Beilby in Newcastle upon Tyne. He became a partner in the business and eventually took it over. Bewick is best known for his A History of British Birds, which is admired today mainly for its wood engravings, especially the small, sharply observed, and often humorous vignettes known as tail-pieces. The book was the forerunner of all modern field guides. He notably illustrated editions of Aesop's Fables throughout his life. He is credited with popularising a technical innovation in the printing of illustrations using wood. He adopted metal-engraving tools to cut hard boxwood across the grain, producing printing blocks that could be integrated with metal type, but were much more durable than traditional woodcuts. The result was high-quality illustration at a low price." *** In 1978 while working as an artist and printmaker (linoleum cuts, woodcuts and wood engravings), and painting landscapes in oils and watercolours David Esslemont established his own private press in his home town of Newcastle upon Tyne in the north of England. Here he published the first of several books with wood engravings by Thomas Bewick and his apprentices: Thomas Bewick: A Commemoration, John Bewick a Selection of Wood Engravings, Luke Clennell: Bewick Apprentice, and Thomas Bewick: Birds These books were printed by hand on dampened paper on a Columbian press and published in limited editions. Who better then to talk to about Bewick than Esslemont. I travelled out to David's farm in Iowa to discuss Thomas.
Herbert Hoover and Lou Henry Hoover, his wife of nearly 45 years, were two of the most significant, most influential Americans of the entire 20th Century. Unlike any president and first lady who came before and only a handful who came after, they were true partners. Considering how this adventurous couple came of age in the late Victorian years, this indicates something quite extraordinary — almost singular — about each of them. So, if all you know about the Hoovers is the fact that he was president when the stock market crashed in 1929, and nothing about her, you might want to spend a few minutes with their great-granddaughter, author, and CNN contributor, Margaret Hoover. Key Takeaways: [1:06] From her earliest memories, Margaret was aware that her great-grandfather, Herbert Hoover, had been somebody special in American history. She has a picture of herself at three, sitting in the back of a golf cart with Barry Goldwater in front of her great-grandparents’ gravesite in West Branch, Iowa. [2:17] Margaret was also told about her great-grandmother, Lou Henry Hoover, and her accomplishments as a partner of her husband the president, together taking on the world in a time of extraordinary social, industrial, and geopolitical changes. [3:14] Stanford graduates and world-wide adventurers, Lou Henry and Herbert lived like millennials. They had circled the globe five times before aviation, having lived among people of several nations. They understood the different governments and economic systems around the world, what worked and what didn’t. [4:01] Herbert knew he was advantaged as an American. An orphan, he was in the first class at Stanford. Lou Henry was the first woman to graduate with a degree in the hard sciences at Stanford. They met in Geology Lab. When Herbert graduated, he had $40 as a self-made product of American economics. [4:33] As an orphan, Herbert had been separated from his siblings and raised by various relatives. In one cottage, his room was under the stairs. In any other country, it would have been unlikely for him to amount to anything. Living up to his Quaker values, he worked the graveyard shift in a mine at $2 a week after graduating from Stanford. [5:40] A renowned mining engineer in San Francisco took him on as a stenographer. He later recommended Herbert to go explore properties in the Australian outback for a mining engineering firm out of London, named Bewick, Moreing & Co. He discovered the most profitable vein of gold in the outback, that still produces to this day. [6:03] Herbert returned and married Lou Henry; the next day, they went to China. They were there at the Boxer Rebellion, in the last camp of foreigners rescued from Tianjin by Marines and escaping on a German mailboat. Before leaving, Herbert was organizing a foreign mining acquisition and Lou was organizing the encampment under daily siege. [7:23] Their Chinese adventure marked the beginning of their travels exploring the tide of revolutions sweeping the world at the start of the 20th Century. After the Boxer Rebellion, they saw the rise of Bolshevism, Fascism, and other “isms” around the world. Herbert had mining properties on five continents by the outbreak of WWI in 1914. [8:04] In 1922, with firsthand experience how the old and new governments of the world worked, Herbert wrote American Individualism to crystalize how the American system of government and economics was better than the others. He had seen the rivers of blood of Bolshevism. The world didn’t accept these lessons at the time. [8:42] The Hoovers were the first international couple of prominence. Later in the White House, they would speak privately together in Mandarin Chinese. [9:03] In 1914, Herbert, then a mining consultant, and Lou Henry, set up in the Savoy Hotel in London, at the request of U.S. Ambassador Walter Page, to help 150K Americans stranded when no credit was accepted. He lent over $1 million of his money to help them sail home. After the ordeal, he found that all but $40 had been repaid. [11:28] At that moment, Herbert recognized the inherent goodness in the ordinary American. He realized he could rely on Americans for their voluntary spirit and good-naturedness. The experience also elevated the Hoovers in the eyes of the diplomatic set. Then, a massive food crisis hit 8 million people in occupied Belgium. [12:15] Ambassador Page asked Herbert to help feed the Belgian people. He organized international food relief to deliver 40 000 tons of food in November and 80 000 tons every month from December 2014 to the end of the war. [12:54] President Woodrow Wilson named Herbert Hoover as the first and only head of the U.S. Food Administration. Lou Henry was named the head of the Food Administration’s Women’s Committee. She asked a willing nation to ‘Hooverize’ or conserve, for the war, through Meatless Mondays, Wheatless Wednesdays, and drives. [13:41] Lou Henry had also just become involved in the new movement of the Girl Scouts to get girls hiking and camping, as her father done with her, growing up. [14:56] Lou Henry became Vice President and then National President of Girl Scouts, and became Chairman of the national board. She asked First Lady Edith Wilson, to serve as Honorary National President of Girls Scouts. The First Lady has since traditionally served the Girl Scouts as Honorary National President. [15:18] Lou Henry started a Girl Scout Troop in Washington, D.C., which was an integrated troop. As a Quaker, she believed in the ‘individual spark’ of every person. She wanted every girl to have the same outdoors experience she had gotten. She was instrumental in establishing the Girl Scouts as a national organization. [15:56] In the 1920’s, Lou Henry Hoover was one of the most important white voices for racial equality. As First Lady, she invited, one at a time, the wives of all the members of Congress to tea. This included the African-American wife of Congressman De Priest of Chicago. In response, Herbert invited Congressman De Priest to meet with him. [17:19] Lou Henry designed the first Presidential Retreat at Camp Rapidan in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Herbert was an avid fisherman of all kinds of fishing, from casting to deep-sea fishing. Camp Rapidan is preserved as part of the National Park Service. The Hoovers also built and funded a school for children of the Blue Ridge Mountains. [18:36] Lou Henry was an athlete and equestrian. She raised $700K in the late 1920s for an organization that promoted women’s athletics. [18:47] Margaret would like to have five to ten minutes to chat with Lou Henry if she could get a sense of her charisma and delightful personality. The best parts of learning about Lou Henry have been reading the letters of those who interacted with her. [19:40] Margaret Hoover was born 33 years after her great-grandmother died, quite suddenly in New York, in 1944. She was born 13 years after her great-grandfather died, in 1964. And she couldn’t be more proud of them.

During this season of goodwill our thoughts turn to crackling fires, being with the family and for many a song or a carol to bring merriment to the colder days. Tweet of the Day has been entertaining early morning listeners to the Radio 4 schedule every day since 2013, but this Christmas we will delight in an avian offering of the well known song the Twelve Days of Christmas. The big day has arrived and with it seven swans a swimming. Though wrapping these may have been an issue. As actress Alison Steadman discusses deeply embedded in the British culture the mute swan, which for many is the perfect bird for the seventh day in the song. Although in winter two other contenders arrive on our shores, the Bewick swan from Siberia and the slightly more vocal Whooper swan from Iceland. Producer : Andrew Dawes Photograph: Kevin Neal.

You can read more about the opening titles here Vertical Service Codes, which are how one might access a feature like *69/1471 to call back the last number that called you, wasn't truly widely available until the 90s, so it's doubtful this could have been in use here.
Jane Eyre is a classic novel by Charlotte Brontë which was published in 1847. Jane Eyre, an orphan, must find her own way in the world while learning about friendship, family, love, trust, societal roles--and how to deal with dark secrets. The novel opens on a dreary November afternoon at Gateshead, the home of the wealthy Reed family. A young girl named Jane Eyre sits in the drawing room reading Bewick’s History of British Birds. Jane’s aunt, Mrs. Reed, has forbidden her niece to play with her cousins Eliza, Georgiana, and the bullying John. John chides Jane for being a lowly orphan who is only permitted to live with the Reeds because of his mother’s charity. John then hurls a book at the young girl, pushing her to the end of her patience. Jane finally erupts, and the two cousins fight. Mrs. Reed holds Jane responsible for the scuffle and sends her to the “red-room”—the frightening chamber in which her Uncle Reed died—as punishment.

Joanna Pinnock makes a dawn visit to Wildfowl and Wetland Trust reserve at Welney in Cambridgeshire to witness the very noisy but magical spectacle of thousands of Whooper and Bewick's swans flighting off from the pools by the reserve centre to head out to feed on the fields for the day. Chris Sperring is on the Hampshire coast at the Lymington-Keyhaven nature reserve. It's home to important numbers of Dark-bellied Brent Geese amongst many other species of smaller ducks. The geese come to the reserve for the winter from Siberia. Plus, news from around the world with our regular news reporter Kelvin Boot.
