Travels With Randy Route 66 Episode 11 is here! Oklahoma Part 2 - Who Is The Modern Day Will Rogers? Route 66 and Round Barns The podcast hosts discussed their travels along Route 66, specifically focusing on Oklahoma and approaching Tulsa. They explored the history of round barns, with Beth explaining that the circular shape was built to withstand tornadoes and provide space for barn dances. The conversation included personal anecdotes about barn dances from Bubba's experience at University of Illinois and a discussion about Sadie Hawkins dances, with the hosts noting they would need to ask Beth about the origin of Sadie Hawkins. Route 66 Oklahoma Landmarks Discussion Bubba and Randy discussed historical landmarks along Route 66 in Oklahoma, including the Arcadia Round Barn, which was built in 1898 for tornado resistance. They explored the history of small towns along the route, including Wellston, which experienced a legal challenge due to a realignment that bypassed the town. Randy noted that while Wellston has a notable dinosaur statue, it is not on the realigned Route 66, and advised travelers not to miss any significant sights by skipping the town. Route 66 Centennial Planning Discussion The discussion focused on Route 66, with participants comparing different states' implementations of Route 66 signage and experiences. They noted Oklahoma's successful coordination through their Historical Society, while Texas was criticized for lacking consistency. The main news shared was that their podcast had received certification from the federal Route 66 Centennial Commission, allowing them to use the official Route 66 shield in their materials. They discussed creating a calendar to showcase the various events planned for Route 66's 100th anniversary and agreed to reach out to local historical societies for event information to share with their community. Photography Planning and Techniques Discussion Randy discussed plans to photograph Chandler and Davenport, mentioning a bowling alley with old gas station logos and plans to take evening shots to capture neon signs. The conversation then shifted to photography techniques, where Randy explained his practice of removing people and power lines from photos to focus on the subject. The discussion concluded with a debate about AI-generated photography and content, with both speakers agreeing that while AI can enhance photos, using it to create misleading content is problematic. Route 66 Travel Journey Discussion The discussion focused on a Route 66 travel journey, with detailed descriptions of stops including Tammy's Roundup Cafe in Davenport and the Rock Cafe in Stroud, which was inspired by the character Sally Carrera from the movie Cars. The conversation highlighted architectural features along Route 66, particularly the Googie style, and included a brief exchange about Art Deco and Streamline Modern design elements. The discussion ended with plans to continue exploring additional Route 66 locations in future episodes. Route 66 Drive-In Theater Discussion Randy discussed Oklahoma's Route 66, highlighting the state's numerous small towns and the challenges of following the original 1926 route, which is often dirt or abandoned. They described visiting a renovated drive-in theater in Sepulpa, which has been updated with Art Deco styling and offers accommodations like Airbnb trailers. Bubba shared his own memories of drive-in theaters, including seeing movies like Six Pack with Kenny Rogers and Herbie the Love Bug, and expressed interest in potentially renovating a drive-in to make it more modern and appealing to younger generations. Route 66 Museum Visit Discussion Randy shared his experience visiting the Heart of Route 66 Auto Museum in Sepulpa, Oklahoma, highlighting the town's efforts to preserve its Route 66 history and charm. Sepulpa, with a population of about 23,297, is situated southwest of Tulsa and has become Randy's favorite town along the route due to its well-maintained buildings and Route 66 attractions. Bubba inquired about Sadie Hawkins, leading to an explanation of the character's origin in the comic strip "Lil Abner" and how the tradition of Sadie Hawkins dances emerged. The conversation also touched on the Joad family from "The Grapes of Wrath" and their journey along Route 66. Tulsa Route 66 Experience Randy discussed his experience traveling through Tulsa on Route 66, noting how the city maintained better historical references to the route compared to other larger towns they had visited. He highlighted the well-preserved bridge over the Arkansas River, which now serves as a walking bridge, and the Cyrus Avery Park that celebrates the "father of Route 66." Randy shared plans to share photos from their visit, including a statue depicting the transition from horse-drawn carriages to cars, which symbolized the impact of Route 66 on small towns. Route 66 Tulsa Coverage Plans The discussion focused on Route 66 travel experiences in Tulsa and upcoming coverage plans. Randy shared details about exploring different Route 66 alignments in Tulsa, recommending the modern alignment (26 to 36) for efficiency or both routes if time permits, as the alternative route creates a longer 10-15 mile loop. Key stops discussed included the Blue Whale in Catoosa (built in 1972), Claremore's connection to Will Rogers, and plans to cover Chelsea and other towns before reaching the Kansas border. Randy also mentioned plans to share photos from these locations later in the week and upcoming coverage of the White Oak to Commerce section. Travel and Podcast Discussion Randy and Bubba discussed their recent travels, particularly focusing on Randy's visit to Chelsea, Oklahoma, where he searched for a mural under a bridge but was unable to find it. They also explored the historical connections between Will Rogers and Gene Autry, and debated who might be the modern-day equivalent of Will Rogers in terms of universal appeal and talent. The conversation concluded with updates about their podcast "Travels with Randy," which now has nearly 33,000 members on Facebook, and they discussed potential future content including exploring the origin of the term "cougar."   SO. MANY.

Hello Beautiful, I'm so grateful you're here with me. Does your child need help slowing down before bedtime? The Slow Dance of the Blue Whale on the Sleep Meditation for Kids Podcast is a gentle ocean-inspired guided meditation for kids designed to calm the body and guide little listeners into deep sleep.

Send a textA family road trip should feel like a moving scrapbook—part planning, part luck, and plenty of laughter along the way. We set the tone with our “Lime Time” cocktail, a park‑day refresher built with gin, limoncello, lime, thyme, and sparkling water, then hit the highway with two coast‑to‑castle itineraries that turn the drive to Disneyland into a highlight, not a hurdle.First, we chart a Winston‑Salem to Anaheim route that hugs I‑40 and stacks Americana classics: a Buc‑ee's pit stop with spotless bathrooms and jerky walls, the Titanic Museum in Pigeon Forge for peak kitsch, and Nashville's Grand Ole Opry for a music‑soaked evening. Memphis brings Beale Street rhythms and a reverent walk through Graceland, before Route 66 legends take the wheel—Katusa's smiling Blue Whale, the Oklahoma Route 66 Museum, Shamrock's Art Deco gas station, and Amarillo's Cadillac Ranch where you can add your own paint to the ever‑changing canvas. We sleep in places that tell stories, from Conestoga wagons on a family farm to a historic Flagstaff icon, and keep drive windows sane with a 12‑hour max.Then we swing north from St. Cloud for a different flavor of wonder: South Dakota's Corn Palace and Wall Drug, a Badlands photo‑op that feels like Mars with bathrooms, and a quick detour to Mount Rushmore that sparks a family debate over a “Disney Mount Rushmore” (we nominate Walt, Mickey, Snow White, and the castle). Devil's Tower invites Close Encounters jokes, Yellowstone delivers bison traffic and geyser awe, and the Great Salt Lake reminds us not every swim is wise. A cheeky Vegas detour channels Vacation vibes before a merch‑heavy glide through Area 51, and finally the desert serves up Roy's Motel & Cafe neon and Elmer's Bottle Tree Ranch on the glide path to Anaheim.You'll leave with road‑tested pacing rules, can't‑miss Route 66 stops, family‑friendly detours, and lodging picks that turn “where we slept” into “remember when.” Mix a Lime Time, queue this episode, and steal our maps to craft your own cross‑country Disney story. If this sparked ideas, tap follow, share with your favorite road warrior, and drop your must‑stop attraction in a review—we're planning the next route with your tips.

Welcome to Daily Bitachon We are currently exploring Shaar Habechina , discussing the incredible wonders of creation. Today, our journey takes us beneath the waves as we talk about the world of fish. Before we dive into specific species, let's look at the "engineering" Hashem granted to aquatic creatures in general. 1. The Challenge of Buoyancy The first challenge of underwater life is stability—maintaining a specific depth without constantly burning energy to keep from sinking or floating away. To solve this, Hakadosh Baruch Hu created a gas-filled sac called a swim bladder . By precisely adjusting the gas inside this organ, a fish achieves neutral buoyancy, effectively becoming weightless at any depth. Hashem even lined the organ to make it perfectly gas-tight and positioned it near the spine—the ideal "sweet spot" to ensure the fish remains upright automatically. It's the same principle a submarine uses with ballast tanks, but Hashem embedded this technology directly into the fish's anatomy, allowing it to remain perfectly still while resting or waiting for prey. 2. The Gills: A Masterpiece of Efficiency The next challenge is extracting oxygen from water, which is far denser and contains significantly less oxygen than the air we breathe. To overcome this, Hashem designed a counter-current exchange system . In the fish's gills, blood flows in the opposite direction of the water flowing over them. This brilliant arrangement ensures that oxygen-poor blood is always encountering oxygen-rich water along the entire length of the gill. Without this "opposite-flow" system, fish would receive only half the oxygen they need to survive. It is an unbelievable piece of Divine design. 3. Navigation Without Waze How do you know where you're going in the vast, trackless ocean? Similar to what we see in birds, fish possess tiny magnetic crystals in their brains that act as an in-born compass , sensing the Earth's magnetic field. Furthermore, they have an incredibly sensitive sense of smell. They can detect the unique chemical signature of their "home river"—a scent imprinted on them when they were tiny fry—allowing them to return exactly to where they came from after traveling thousands of miles. 4. Seeing in the Dark In the murky depths, sight isn't always enough. Hashem created a series of fluid-filled canals along the sides of the fish's body containing sensory hairs. This system allows the fish to detect minute pressure waves . They can literally "feel" the vibration of a predator or the movement of prey from a distance, even in total darkness. The Acoustic Engineer: The Blue Whale To see this wisdom in action, let's look at one fascinating creature: the Blue Whale . A Blue Whale's call is louder than a jet engine and can travel over 1,000 miles underwater. To put that in perspective, that's like someone in New York having a clear conversation with someone in Florida without a telephone. But it's not just about volume; it's about understanding the environment. Imagine the ocean as a multi-story building. Usually, sound spreads out in every direction and fades quickly. However, between 2,500 and 4,000 feet down, there is a "sweet spot" where temperature and pressure hit a perfect balance. In the warm upper layers, sound travels too fast and scatters. In the crushing bottom layers, it doesn't work either. But in that middle layer, sound creates a natural lane that traps noise. Instead of fading, the sound bounces back into the center of this layer, like shouting into a long, smooth hallway. When a Blue Whale wants to find a mate a thousand miles away, it doesn't just sing anywhere. It dives down until it hits that specific "hallway" and lets out its 188-decibel call . Because the sound is trapped in that layer, the energy stays focused, allowing another whale on the other side of the ocean to hear the "ping" as if they were standing right next to each other. The Lesson in Bitachon It is fascinating to realize two things: The Design: G-d created an "underground telephone line" within the very physics of the ocean. The Instinct: The whale has the "understanding" to find that line and use it to communicate. Everything we see in modern science is just a replica of the technology Hakadosh Baruch Hu naturally embedded into creation from the very beginning.

Jean Graham, née Peacock, was one of the founders of ShadowCon, the original Dark Shadows convention which started in 1977, predating the Dark Shadows Festivals by several years. With the last Dark Shadows convention on the horizon, Jean visits the podcast to talk about her memories of the very first one. She also discusses the challenges of early DS syndication days in the 70s, her DS fanfic and how that led to pro fiction publishing, her DS music arrangements and piano playing, and her fandom for The Man from U.N.C.L.E and Star Trek. Other topics include: the appeal of Barnabas, Mr. Spock, and Illya Kuryakin to outsiders, San Diego Comic Con - then vs now, sneaking into a movie theater balcony to watch House of Dark Shadows, and throwing a DS Halloween party in 1970.

Blue whales are the largest animal that has ever lived. Topping all kinds of charts and holding a host of impressive records in the animal kingdom. Yet despite their remarkable size, and partly because of it, they were driven close to extinction in the 20th century. But there is good news, as their numbers are beginning rise!Join us as we explore the incredible world of the blue whale. From their evolution from land-based mammals to the devastating impact of industrial whaling, and the conservation efforts working hard to support their recovery and returning numbers.Get in touchDon't forget to follow The Birdy Bug Pod over on Instagram.

The blue whales have stopped singing because the krill are vanishing because the oceans are warming because we are ruled by long-toothed liars whose insides are full of dead leaves. The great whales have gone silent and my bird has gone blind and there are chatbots in the basement and corpses in the corn. Under the overpass it is dry and still. You would never know that everything is dying. You should come and visit me. Meet me over there under the sepia streetlights with the strangleporn perverts and fentanyl fallen, all the stillborn scar tissue extractions from the wreckage of a banished womb, the NAFTA-noosed factory towns full of deserted buildings and the window-snarling meth towns full of deserted people, where the cries of orphaned Palestinians mingle with the cries of the last baby orangutan ever born in the wild. Meet me under the flickering lights. Bring me some smokes and a sad luck story and let's stay up late by the freeway watching the traffic get sparse. Show me the spots on your skin where life has kicked you and I will kiss them and give you a flower. The leviathans have gone quiet and the turbines are getting loud, and everything has become so strange. So sit with me on this curb under my burlap wing and let's laugh and heal and mark beauty until sunrise. Reading by Tim Foley.

Eighteen years, a 14-metre-deep crater, a rebuilt brick façade, and a glass dome set to redefine Copenhagen's skyline Denmark's new Natural History Museum is almost ready.  In this episode, Michael Booth meets architect Claus Pryds, who was barely out of architecture school when he unexpectedly won the competition for the country's next great museum. What followed was a marathon of design, engineering and sheer perseverance that stretched across nearly two decades.  Michael and Claus dive into the wild story behind the museum: the setbacks, the breakthroughs, the impossible holes in the ground — and the thrill of watching a once-in-a-lifetime project finally rise to the surface. Opening in 2027, the museum will feature new worlds dedicated to Danish nature and Greenland and rumoured to have everything from dinosaurs to a Blue Whale skeleton.  Guest: Claus Pryds Host:  Michael Booth  Let's Talk Architecture is a podcast by Danish Architecture Center.

Blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus)  are the largest animals that have ever existed on Earth. Despite this, they feed exclusively on krill (Nyctiphanes australis) which are typically no larger than 2 cm. Thus, they must consume massive amounts of these tiny organisms to support the large energy requirements of their life history processes. Researchers are interested in understanding how predator-prey dynamics between blue whales and krill may shift with changing ocean conditions. Nicole Principe is a 2nd year PhD student in the Geospatial Ecology of Marine Megafauna (GEMM) Lab at the Oregon State University Marine Mammal Institute, led by Dr. Leigh Torres. Her PhD work is part of the SAPPHIRE (Synthesis of Acoustics, Physiology, Prey, and Habitat in A Rapidly Changing Environment) Project and will focus on blue whales in the South Taranaki Bight in Aotearoa (New Zealand). This interdisciplinary work involves using oceanographic data, active acoustics for prey, drone imagery (i.e., photogrammetry), and hormone analysis to investigate the availability of krill and blue whale health and population resilience to climate change.

His sessions throw a whole new perspective on innovation and entrepreneurship that embraces social change.In 1988, he founded SECMOL (Students' Educational and Cultural Movement of Ladakh) that aims to reform the government school system in Ladakh. In 1994 he was instrumental in the launch of Operation New Hope, a triangular collaboration of the government, village communities and the civil society, whose work has been instrumental in improving the pass percentage of 10th graders in the region from a dismal 5% to 75%.For students who still failed in their state exams, he founded the SECMOL Alternative School Campus near Leh, a special school where the admission criterion is a failure in exams and not grades. As an engineer, Sonam Wangchuk has been teaching innovation at the SECMOL Alternative School, where together with the students, he designed and built solar heated buildings that are low cost, made of earth/mud but maintain +15 C even when the outside temperature is –15 C in Ladakhi winters.His “Ice Stupa” artificial glacier has claimed fame for helping solve the water crisis in the region due to climate change and fast melting glaciers. The Ice Stupas store water in the winter in the form of giant ice cones or stupas, which melt over summer and provide water to the lands, just in time for irrigation.Sonam is the recipient of several awards, The Rolex Award for Enterprise 2016 in Hollywood USA, The Terra Award 2016 for World's Best Earth Buildings in Lyon France, The UNESCO Chair for Earth Architecture for India in 2014, ‘Real Heroes' Award by CNN IBN Channel in 2008, ‘Green Teacher' Award by Sanctuary Asia Magazine in 2005, Ashoka Fellowship by Ashoka: Innovators for the Public in 2002, ‘Man of the Year' by The Week magazine in India in 2001 and the Governors Medal by the J&K State Government in 1996.Introduction Credits: Outstanding Speakers Bureau.Links to reach Sonam:Twitter: https://twitter.com/Wangchuk66Website: https://secmol.org

Because of their massive size, blue whales are known as the ocean's “gentle giants.”  They are vital to the ocean ecosystem, but their numbers are declining. In this episode, 2016 Pew marine fellow Dr. Asha de Vos unpacks the significance of blue whales to our ocean's health and how effects from human activity, such as increased shipping and the whale-watching industry, influence the blue whale's population and migratory pattern. Since this episode first aired in 2019, de Vos has continued conservation efforts through her organization, Oceanswell, and has advanced research on the effects of plastic pollution in Sri Lanka.

Valeria Martinez begins the show by unpacking FirstGroup's (FGP) results. Valeria and Dan explore how the renationalisation of rail franchises is affecting the business, the timeline for other franchise nationalisations and how the company looks compared with its peers.Next, materials company Oxford Instruments (OXIG), which this week announced it was selling its quantum business for £60mn. Julian Hofmann looks at what it will focus on instead, its exposure to tariffs and more. Last up, Alex Newman joins to discuss Blue Whale Growth holding Philip Morris (US:PM). It differs vastly from the fund's typical tech holdings, and the tobacco company is now considered an ESG stock by some. Listen to find out the latest investment case.

Send us a textSpring is here—and so is our new weekly podcast format! We're now alternating between fun episodes for kids and a new segment, “AI Kids Scoop,” where we break down what's happening in AI and education.After a recent trip to Seoul, I saw just how powerful AI can be—using ChatGPT to plan, Google Lens to read menus, and Translate to chat with locals. It's a reminder that AI is here now, and our kids need to learn how to use it wisely.Our inaugural AI Kids Scoop covers groundbreaking developments in the AI education landscape. Google recently announced Gemini AI access for children under 13 through supervised accounts, while governments worldwide are racing to implement AI literacy programs. The US President signed an executive order advancing AI education, China mandated annual AI classes for all students, and the UAE plans to introduce AI concepts to children as young as four years old.The private sector is responding with innovative offerings like Blue Whale AI Academy's summer camp for ages 5-12 and Buddy AI's language learning app designed specifically for children. Perhaps most fascinating is ABii, an AI-powered robot from the University of South Carolina that uses facial recognition to provide "empathetic tutoring" tailored to students' emotional states.While these developments are exciting, we emphasize the continued importance of adult supervision, critical thinking, and creativity. Google AI Resources.Support the showHelp us become the #1 podcast for AI for Kids.Buy our new book "Let Kids Be Kids, Not Robots!: Embracing Childhood in an Age of AI"Social Media & Contact: Website: www.aidigitales.com Email: contact@aidigitales.com Follow Us: Instagram, YouTube Gift or get our books on Amazon or Free AI Worksheets Listen, rate, and subscribe!

Send us a textThe tension between accomplishment and humility stands at the heart of Jewish spiritual life. How do we strive for greatness while remaining modest? This profound question finds its answer in Parsha Pekudei's account of the Mishkan's construction.When the impossibly heavy beams of the Mishkan needed to be erected, no one—not even Moshe—possessed the physical strength to lift them. Confronted with this impossible task, Moshe turned to Hashem, who offered a life-changing instruction: "Occupy yourself with your hands." Make the effort, and the impossible will happen through divine assistance. This teaching parallels other biblical moments where humans faced impossible challenges—Moshe being asked to count children inside homes without entering, and Avraham being commanded to count the stars.The pattern reveals a fundamental spiritual principle: we must exert our maximum effort even when success seems beyond reach. Whether in Torah study, building families in challenging times, or professional pursuits, our obligation is to try—to get our hands dirty in sincere effort. Only after we've done our part does Hashem step in, making the crushing weight feel light, making the stars countable, making the impossible happen.Yet this raises another challenge: how do we remain humble after experiencing success? The answer lies in recognizing the true source of all achievement. Like a parent supporting a milk carton while a child believes they're pouring it independently, Hashem provides the strength behind our accomplishments. We may direct the effort, but He powers the outcome.This delicate balance between striving and humility creates the perfect Jewish approach to life. Work diligently, attempt the impossible, create vessels for blessing—then watch as divine assistance transforms your efforts into accomplishments beyond your natural abilities. And when success comes, remember who truly lifted the weight.What impossible challenge are you facing today? Remember: your job is to put your hands on it. The rest will come from above.Support the showJoin The Motivation Congregation WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!Elevate your impact by becoming a TMC Emerald Donor!

Send us a textBuckle up for our most anticipated episode of the year—the 2025 Roadside Attractions March Madness Championship! With special guest Courtney from The Brewery Adventure podcast completing our judging panel, we're setting out to crown America's ultimate roadside attraction from a bracket of 23 quirky, fascinating, and sometimes bizarre destinations.The competition features everything from architectural oddities to pop culture landmarks. Marvel at the Paper House in Massachusetts, where everything from walls to furniture is constructed entirely from layered newspapers. Discover the Beer Can House in Houston, a shimmering masterpiece adorned with 50,000 beer cans that create wind chimes with the slightest breeze. Venture to Moab's Hole in the Rock, a 5,000 square foot home carved directly into sandstone, surrounded by punny sculptures like the "jailhouse rock" (literally, a rock in jail).As we narrow down our contenders, cultural landmarks take center stage. Wisconsin's House on the Rock dazzles with its infinity room extending 218 feet over a valley and the world's largest indoor carousel featuring 269 animals. The Seattle Gum Wall, described as "one of the germiest yet most beloved roadside attractions," competes against classic Americana like the Blue Whale of Catoosa on historic Route 66.The final showdown pits two Iowa attractions against each other—the Field of Dreams baseball diamond from the iconic movie and Captain Kirk's future birthplace in Riverside (a town that boldly claimed itself as the Star Trek character's birthplace despite it never being specified in the original series). Which will claim the championship? The baseball field where ghosts emerge from cornfields or the town that reimagined itself through science fiction?Join us for this laughter-filled road trip across America's most unusual destinations, and discover which attraction truly deserves the title of roadside champion. Whether you're planning your next cross-country adventure or simply enjoy celebrating the quirky creativity that dots America's highways, this episode will inspire your wanderlust and appreciation for the unexpected treasures waiting just off the beaten path.SHOWNOTESThe Brewery AdventureSupport the showFacebookInstagramXYoutube
