Det står några plastträd i korridoren på Jonas Grens kontor. De väcker frågor. Men väldigt annorlunda frågor än riktiga träd. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Det är banalt, klichémässigt, att konstatera, men plastträden som min hyresvärd har placerad i korridoren utanför mitt arbetsrum – något slags pilträd och en lila-blommande sak – är inte levande. En dag träffade vi kvinnan från företaget som ställt hit träden. Hon förklarade med stor entusiasm för oss att den lila-blommande saken minsann inte var någon dussinprodukt. Bladen och blommorna var gjorda av kvalitativ, icke-blekbar plast; solen kunde ösa sin strålning över dem, det gick att ha dem ute, inne, vartsomhelst: bladen skulle förbli desamma, utlovade hon.Träden står i krukor i något slags erzats-material, som ska få det att se ut som jord. Grenarna är instuckna och fastklistrade i hål i vad som verkar vara riktiga trädstammar. Träden är alltså död ved (utan vedätande insekter) med plastgrenar och plastblad. Vanligtvis passerar jag träden utan att tänka på dem på väg till toaletten eller pentryn. Men en morgon blir jag stående. Känner på de lila blommorna, de uv-resistenta evighetsbladen. Upptäcker infästningen där grenen limmats fast. Där ved och plast möts. Tänker på Pettson och Findus-berättelsen, där gubben skadar foten och katten och han bygger en julgran av pinnar och lim. Det är kanske så man ska tänka på dessa ting i korridoren: hellre träd av plast, än inga alls? Som om vi företagare som delar kontorslokalerna, likt gubben Pettson, vore rörelsehindrade och inte under några omständigheter kunde få tag på levande växter? Handfallna är vi åtminstone, i och med att ett företag, som anlitar andra företag, råder över de gemensamma utrymmena.Det är när jag ska hämta vatten till mina fyra krukväxter – varav en, fikusen, håller på att dö, jag förstår inte varför – som jag blir stående framför plastträden. Vad väcker fenomenen omkring oss för tankar? Jag minns en gång i slovakiska Karpaterna sommaren 2008 (strax innan jag blev våldsamt magsjuk efter att ha druckit bäckvatten bemängt med något djurs fekalier) när jag stannade på en bro över en framrusande älv. Jag drabbades av vad som måste kallas akut häpnad inför gravitationen och vattnets beteende i landskapet. Det var en slags en hydrologisk eureka. Tänk att hela det här systemet funkar! Avdunstning, moln, snö, regn, berg, rännilar, bäck, å, flod, sjö, hav. Runt, runt, runt. Av sig självt. Det bara kommer. Kom vatten hit i isklot indrämmande i planeten. Blev hav, blev ånga, moln, regn. Flödade, forsade, forsar, strömmar, rinner, tar sig fram, ringlar, eroderar, fyller upp, fylls av liv, fortsätter. Himlakroppens olika processer som fortgår utan att människan behöver göra någonting.Förundran inför lindbladet. Att det faller. Multnar. Blir mat för mask. Jord. Att bladet kommer – inrullat i nåt slags vårpaket. Tittar fram. Hej! Vecklas ut. Får blommor intill sig. Oräkneliga antal humlor, bin, som äter det söta. Lindblomshonung. Lindblomste. Madeleinekaka doppad i det. Allt detta liv som flytt förbi, som blir, ska bli. När jag står i korridoren på jobbet och tittar på pilträdet och det lila-blommande trädet, framträder andra tankar. Jag tänker på limmet, vem som stuckit in dessa grenar i de borrade hålen. Vem borrade? Plastträden väcker tankar om fabriker, fossila resurser och en annan form av förundran: varför det ska vara så svårt att be oss som jobbar här att hjälpas åt att vattna verkliga träd? Blad renar luft, men inte plastblad. Blad äter koldioxid och vatten, skapar syre och socker, men inte plastblad. Blad doftar, det gör också plastblad – men av plast. Plastblad växer inte. Dör inte. Lever inte. Varför denna död som ska likna liv? Om konturerna av det levande – omformade till döda ting, varor av ettor och nollor, plast och betong – förutsätts kunna ersätta växters och djurs vävnad, läten, lukter, rörelser, förlopp från frö till mognad och död, ersätta den outgrundlighet som bor i själva det faktum att något upprätthålls utanför människans makt – kan vi då ersätta allt? Kram med hjärtemoji. Skog med katalog. Myr med motorväg. Samtal med meddelandetråd?Men skulle det verkligen vara bättre med riktiga träd som stod i korridoren och vissnade? frågar någon – utan att betänka huruvida ordet ”bättre” är det lämpliga i sammanhanget.Att jämföra interaktionen med plastträd med det att vistas ute i luften, på marken, bland träden, med kroppen, i det levande, kan aldrig gå ut på att värdera vad som är bäst. På samma sätt som att det vore befängt att påstå att två timmar i verkligheten där man hackar morot, kokar soppa och bakar bröd tillsammans med sina barn, vore bättre än att sugas in i en fantastisk film på bio. Linden utanför mitt fönster är inte bättre än de två plastträden i korridoren. Mina krukväxter är inte bättre. Planeten är inte bättre än människornas samhällen. Fenomenen är annorlunda, radikalt annorlunda. Så annorlunda något kan bli. Vad som kännetecknar hundra gammeltallar på en solig höjd är inte att de är bättre än, säg, tolv tusen pappemballage för Muminmuggar. Försök paketera porslin i ett gammalt träd. Pappkartonger är bättre än gamla träd på att vara pappkartonger. På samma sätt som plastträd är bättre på att stå för evigt ovattnade, blommande alla kommande dagar i en korridor, än dödliga växter. Jag betvivlar inte den stolthet, ja, ömhet som kvinnan från plastträdsföretaget uttryckte när hon ställde hit växterna som inte växer. Men frågan är: ska vi nöja oss med människoskapade representationer i varuform av planetens levande mångfald, denna som de industriella samhällena håller på att utrota? Det vill säga: vad händer när mänskliga artefakter – bilder, poster på sociala medier, träd som aldrig slutar blomma – börjar betyda samma sak som lindbladet söndersmulat i ens hand om hösten? Lukten vi känner när bladgojset förs mot näsan? Naturen är knappast bättre än människans skapelser. Naturen är blöt, brant, farlig, fylld av virus och bakterier. Den biter, sticker, bränner, skapar andfåddhet. Naturen är geggig, den dör. Den gör inte som vi vill. Ändå står något på spel i det sorglösa omformandet av planetens oöverskådliga förlopp till döda ting på en marknad. När jorden och haven fylls på av evighetsplaster. När cancerframkallande ämnen från olika produkter kommer med vattnet i kranen, in i barnens törstiga munnar. När det radioaktiva skräpet ska ligga tryggt i marken i 100 000 år. När biosfären, hemmet för allt känt liv, hettas upp för hundratals tusen år framöver, utan att någon vet vad som ens kan leva i en sådan värld. Jag dristar mig att påstå: människor som på djupet, åtminstone en gång, har häpnat inför trädens liv, kommer att känna sig missnöjda med plastträd. Inte för att plastträden är sämre. Utan för att de inte är träd.Jonas Grenförfattare

Ende 1953 versetzte eine mysteriöse Kreatur eine kleine Gemeinde in North Carolina in Angst und Schrecken. Tiere wurden verstümmelt aufgefunden, und Augenzeugen berichteten von einer katzenartigen Bestie mit leuchtenden Augen. War es ein wildes Raubtier oder nur eine Welle der Massenhysterie? Bis heute hält sich die Legende – und das Rätsel bleibt ungelöst. Hier findet ihr den erwähnten Sci-Fakt Newsletter. Hier geht es zur HOAXILLA-Weltkarte.

Dan Bladen, CEO and co-founder of Kadence, and Dave Cairns, Future of Work Strategist at Kadence, each discuss aspects of the evolving dynamics of modern workplaces and spaces. Dan shares insights from Kadence's journey developing workplace technology and breaking down and rebuilding work to facilitate workflow and rhythm for distributed workers. Dave highlights the benefits of data-driven understanding of people flow and space utilization as well as intentional gatherings. They recognize flexible hybrid models' acceptance and leaders' increasingly purposeful coordination.       TAKEAWAYS   Dan Bladen Interview   [01:22] Dan explains his background in theology, music, and technology.   [02:57] Growing up with engineers, hardware, and gaming encouraged Dan to build computers.   [05:04] Traveling around the world in 2012, connectivity and charging are basic needs.   [05:40] Dan co-founds Chargify to make wireless charging a game changer as WiFi did for connectivity.   [06:41] Dan notices offices were already half-empty as people start ‘agile working' in the 2010s.   [07:25] The business of checking an employee into a hot desk while also charging their laptop.   [08:06] Strong growth stops with the pandemic, then a Fortune 50 company asks to use Chargify's software to enable safe office-based work.   [09:36] The checking-in capability leads to a business pivot to workplace coordination software.   [11:02] Dan isn't enthralled, but the market is large and 90% of companies are going hybrid.   [12:20] Dan sees the potential of hybrid work to benefit from more work-life balance.   [12:44] Finding rhythm with your family and your team and having a contract with your employer.   [13:35] In the past, people had to act predictably as spaces were static.   [14:36] Kadence philosophy breaks down the ‘work stack'—starting with the ‘why' of work—vision and values   [15:13] Moving from performative inputs to quantitative outputs.   [16:10] Work defined by time not place—so what is the work ‘operating system'?   [18:08] Kadence starts as desk-booking software and becomes a hybrid work management platform.   [20:05] The hybrid shift is influenced by market conditions and economic pressures.   [21:00] Data shows the best-performing companies are hybrid.   [21:40] Servant leadership is rising and thinking about culture and the next generation.   [22:51] Over 50% of hybrid companies now organize regular in-person events.   [23:16] Time to trust is accelerated during face-to-face times of togetherness.   [23:29] Leaders must be intentional about when and where they gather their teams.   Dave Cairns Interview   [24:32] Dave discusses how deep friendships build up live and asynchronously.   [25:33] The mismatch between real estate supply and demand that Dave notices in 2019.   [26:10] Pandemic shifts remind Dan of his poker-playing time when he was working remotely.   [27:37] Merging two experiences, learning more about the nature of work, beyond office space.   [28:07] Learning from many sources for the first time that office spaces pre-COVID were half empty.   [29:30] Dave's content resonates with people struggling with their working lives and rigid policies.   [30:36] Many workers feel forced into office attendance without a clear reason.   [32:23] Canada has a quieter acceptance of hybrid work compared to the U.S.   [33:19] New York seems to have the most polarized views on remote and in-office policies.   [36:17] The mismatch between work policies/mandates and actual employee behaviors.   [37:26] Employees often coordinate informally and inefficiently, giving organizations no insights.   [38:27] Most firms still lack clear data on how their offices are actually being used.   [40:30] Some leaders demand full office occupancy despite low attendance rates.   [41:06] Gathering granular data to understand people flow and office space utilization.   [42:06] High lease costs, renewals or financial pressure are key factors to drive real change.   [43:19] Proactive companies learn workflow and people coordination before downsizing space.   [46:04] Leaders are balancing executive mandates with employee flexibility to achieve results.   [49:31] Companies recognize hybrid's importance but lack the knowledge to execute well.   [51:56] IMMEDIATE ACTION TIP: Have an intentional gathering strategy. Accept that teams can make some of their own decisions. Figure out how your office spaces, your workspaces, if you have any, are being used.       RESOURCES   Dan Bladen on LinkedIn Dave Cairns on LinkedIn Kadence's website       QUOTES   “Now there's this opportunity for people to be more unpredictable and spaces to be flexible.” – Dan Bladen.   “So the only way to measure if that work was getting done was by measuring and observing the quality of the outputs.” – Dan Bladen.   “We started rebuilding it [work]. And really it boils down to people, places and the projects that they're working on.” – Dan Bladen.   “Work doesn't happen in a place anymore. It actually happens in the working week. And where you choose to place yourself is part of your toolkit and your coordination layer.” – Dan Bladen.   “Work is going to be reimagined a bit like an OS.” – Dan Bladen.

Horace Walpole is best known for his gothic novel "The Castle of Otranto," but he lived a lot of life before that.

Le comté de Bladen est l'un des plus anciens comtés de Caroline du Nord. Il se situe à environ 115 km au nord-ouest de Wilmington et juste au sud-est de Lumberton. La puissante rivière Cape Fear se fraye tranquillement un chemin à travers les comtés en direction de la côte. Le comté est essentiellement rural et seules quelques villes parsèment le paysage. L'agriculture est très présente dans le comté de Bladen en raison de la richesse de ses terres et de l'abondance de l'eau. Une grande partie du territoire est constituée de vastes forêts et de marécages, un environnement idéal pour les ours, les cerfs, les lynx roux et tout autre type d'animal.C'est dans ce comté, tard dans la soirée du 29 décembre 1953, que notre histoire a commence. Il semble qu'une femme de Clarkton, une petite ville située juste à l'est de Bladenboro, ait contacté les forces de l'ordre locales. Elle était toute excitée et enthousiaste à propos de ce qu'elle avait vu dans le jardin de son voisin. Elle a rapporté qu'au moment où le soleil se couchait, tous les chiens du voisinage aboyaient à tue-tête. Alors qu'elle allait enquêter sur l'origine du bruit, elle vit une grande créature ressemblant à un chat s'enfoncer dans l'obscurité. C'est la première fois que l'on aperçoit ce que l'on appellera "la bête de Bladenboro".Pour m'envoyer vos histoires danslenoirpdcst@gmail.comPour participer à cette émission horrifique, écrivez à Dans Le Noir sur les réseaux sociaux, j'accepte tout le monde !Mon Instagram HorrifiquePATREONLE seul podcast qui fait peur !Armez-vous de votre casque ou de vos écouteurs !Podcast Horreur, Podcast Surnaturel, Podcast Paranormal & Podcast Creepypasta mais surtout un podcast qui fait peur !Bonne semaine horrifique à tous !

För över ett hundra år sedan snubblar en bokhandlare över en spännande upptäckt i norra Italien. Undangömd, på en gammal bokhylla, står en bok som idag beskrivs som en av historiens största, olösta gåtor. Voynychmanuskriptet - ett medeltida mysterium som fortfarande väntar på att lösas. De gulnande pergamenten vägrar än idag att avslöja sina hemligheter. Bladen pryds av gåtfulla tecken, som inte liknar något annat känt skriftspråk i världen. Hittills har ingen lyckats knäcka koden. Vem är författaren bakom det hemlighetsfulla verket? Och vilken historia döljer sig bakom dom gåtfulla bladen?Konspirationsteorier - Eftersnack: https://m.facebook.com/groups/konspirationsteorierpodcast/      Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/konspirationsteorier/      Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/konspirationsteorier/       Källor: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1SZ1ovvNZXqqgf7md7NUJTZMIfDBSTeC4Ef857_dUIFc/edit?usp=sharing   Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Vincent Spaulding is the Project Leader of the George Henry White Memorial Health & Education Center in Bladen and Columbus Counties, North Carolina. He talks about how he used his architecture and community organizing skills honed in middle-class Washington, DC and “divine intervention” to turn a 120-year-old farm house into a community center in his home county, a part of the “other” America. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/port-of-harlem-podcasts/support

This episode highlights Judicial Branch strategies and successes in reducing the pending case backlog in the North Carolina court system. We explore the challenges of holding court during the pandemic and the strategies implemented to reduce pending cases by 25%. This episode is hosted by North Carolina Administrative Office of the Courts (NCAOC) Director Ryan Boyce and guests include NCAOC Research Policy and Planning Manager Emily Mehta, Chief District Court Judge Scott Ussery, and elected District Attorney Jon David. Judge Ussery and DA David represent Bladen, Brunswick, and Columbus counties. "Chief Justice Newby arrived in 2021 and his first order of business was issuing a statewide order that allowed local judicial officials, like Judge Ussery and DA David, to resume jury trials," said Director Boyce on the podcast. "They are the ones who knew their districts, and the Chief's vision was to give these folks the authority to hold, or not to hold, jury trials based on their districts' needs."With trials postponed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the pending case count peaked at 1.2 million cases. As of August 2023, that case backlog has been reduced to 900,000, which represents a 25% reduction. State court dockets are in better shape now then they were even before COVID. Creativity on the local level is one factor credited with this success."We got approval to go off-site and we went five miles down the road and found a gymnasium, cafeteria, and media center, and for 11 months we held court," said Judge Ussery on the podcast. "We did everything we could as the stakeholders in our community to make sure the system didn't stop."Other successful backlog reduction strategies included installing advanced technology in courthouses, streamlining case management processes, and relying on the Judicial Branch's most import resource–its people. "I work around heroes and they understand that with the enormous responsibilities of this job come service and sacrifice," said DA David on the podcast. "This was simply a challenge to overcome and we found a strategy to protect and serve our communities against this difficult backdrop."

[Program produced and aired 2016] Image: Frontispiece to Walker's Appeal, in Four Articles; Together with a Preamble….1829 Maroon derives from Spanish cimarrón. Cimarrón originally referred to domestic cattle that had taken to the hills in Hispaniola. It was gradually expanded to be applied to enslaved Indigenous peoples who escaped from the Spaniards as they colonized South and Central America as well as the Caribbean. By the end of the 1530s, the concept had taken on strong connotations of being "fierce," "wild" and "unbroken," and was transferred to be primarily applied to Africans and people of African descent---or the runaways as they were referred to. For more than four centuries, the communities formed by escaped enslaved peoples dotted the fringes of plantations throughout the Americas, from Brazil to southeastern United States, from Peru to the American Southwest. Known variously as quilombos, mocambos, or mambeses, these new societies ranged from tiny bands that survived less than a year to powerful states the numbered thousands of members who survived for generations and even centuries. Maroon communities consisted of escaped African/a peoples with origins from a wide range of societies in West and Central Africa...Their collective task was to create new communities and institutions, through various processes of integrating cultural elements drawn largely from a variety of African societies [never forget, home was their destination]. Kwame Gyekye work on the deep continuities of cultural elements that link African societies is important to note here. For generations, historians believed that even the most remarkable of maroon settlements in the North America did not rival the achievements of maroon communities in South and Central America as well as the Caribbean. However, according to a number of scholars such as Cedric Robinson; Gerald Mullin, as well as Hebert Aptheker, and most recently Sylviane A. Diouf, evidence of the existence of at least fifty such communities in various places and at various times, from 1672 to 1864, has been documented. Herbert Aptheker's points out that the 1st maroon communities pre-dated Jamestown settlements by 82 years. They were African insurrectionists who secured gained their freedom from abortive Spanish colonizing efforts in North and South Carolina. Maroon communities were a real presence in the U.S…as Aptheker documented their 19th century presence in VA; Georgia; Alabama; Louisiana; South Carolina as well as in Wake, Gates, Onslow, Bladen, Sampson, Jones, New Hanover, Dublin, Wilmington, Robeson, Nash counties, North Carolina. Today, will listen to a conversation I had with Dr. Nubia Kia where we discussed her recent historical novel, titled I spread my Wings and I Fly. Dr. Kia is a cultural worker, artist, activist, scholar, retired professor from Howard University. Her work has been published in Black Scholar, Black American Literature Forum, and Journal of the African Literature Association. As historian and poet, Dr. Kai has also won numerous honors, which include the Michigan Council Arts Awards, D.C. Commission of the Arts Awards, and National Endowment for the Arts Awards, just to name a few. Her work is an important meditation and contribution on previous and current work that is being done to explore the connections between culture, resistance, the science of metaphysics [spiritwork] as a source liberatory practice as a historical and cultural product of the Maroons. All of which were cultivated within conditions that African peoples were thrust into. This process and its elements are found within every corner of African Diasporic sociopolitical thought and cultural practices from Brazil, to Colombia, to the Black Church to hip hop. Africa as more than a geographical landmass, lives. It lives in the mind, bodies, spirits, intelligence of African/a peoples. Enjoy the program

Over the last few episodes, we have shown how Elfreth's Alley went from a neighborhood of artisans in early Philadelphia to a rundown street in the shadow of factories and warehouses, with unsanitary conditions and rampant overcrowding by the 1930s.Today, Elfreth's Alley is in nearly every guidebook to Philadelphia as a must-see attraction. During a typical summer Saturday, some thousand visitors walk down the length of the block, duck into Bladen's Court, a small offshoot of the Alley, and retrace their steps back up the street, posing for photos in front of the Instagram-worthy houses and the historical flags waving above.How did this transformation happen? Why did it happen? Who made it happen?In this episode, we will examine the beginning of Elfreth's Alley metamorphosis into a tourist spot.
