It is a testament to Alastair MacVicar's strength of character, that he is alive and well in the world today, improving the lives of others.In the space of just 14 days, he lost his mother Jean, father Keith, and eldest sister Jayne to Covid 19. Alastair also lost his mother-in-law soon after. Then it was his turn. Covid 19 left him unable to string a sentence together. Alastair feared death. Then came an AstraZeneca vaccination, which left him with blood clots on both lungs. He recovered slowly but will be on blood-thinning medication for the rest of his life.Everybody knew the MacVicars of Branston where they ran the local newsagents for 45 years, selling liquorice Catherine Wheels, fireworks and second-hand goods among other things. Now they'll be known further afield with the publication of this inspirational interview, part of Alastair's mission to honour his parents and sister by promoting his family as much as he can and fulfilling his mother's dying wish to: share your love, be kind, and each day, do a good deed.Alastair has the chance to fulfil his plans unlike his sister Jayne who despite selling her house in Lincolnshire, never got to fulfil her dream of moving to France to live by the sea, thanks to Covid 19. Like her parents, she never had a funeral. To add insult to injury, the crematorium failed to realise that Jayne had been cremated without her family's knowledge weeks earlier, something that devastated her two sons and family.Alastair also relates how distorted grief has left him unable to cry despite his enormous loss and that the surreality of losing almost half his family in such a short time without any death rituals means he still goes to drive to his parent's house for a cuppa and a toasted teacake three years after their deaths before realising that the house now belongs to someone else.Created, produced, and hosted by Karen Rice, the Stolen Goodbyes podcast won gold in the fiercely competitive Best Lockdown category of the British Podcast Award 2021.Stolen Goodbyes is described as: "outstanding ethical and trauma-informed journalism.

This month we are talking all about Potato Cyst Nematode, an important pest in most areas of the country where potatoes are grown. It is during the autumn and winter months that we look to soil sample fields and prepare machinery, so on this episode we meet with three experts to learn more about sampling, controls, machinery calibration and the nematicide stewardship programme. Our first guest is independent agronomist, Simon Alexander. Simon takes us through the 6 best practice steps to the Nematicide Stewardship Programme (NSP)from compulsory qualifications through the post application checks. Our next speaker, Ian Foreman, joins from NSTS, the National Sprayer Testing Scheme. Ian expands on the importance of machinery calibration and best ways to avoid problems in season. You can download a check sheet here. Finally, we are joined by David Nelson, Agronomy Director at Branston Ltd. Branston are a potato grower with sites in Lincoln, Scotland and the South West. David joins us to discuss cultural controls to PCN, with a particular focus on variety choice. The BASIS Certificate in Crop Protection Agriculture and Vegetable courses both cover potato agronomy. If you are interested in advancing your potato knowledge further then we offer the Advanced potatoes course which also contributes towards the BASIS Diploma in Agronomy. Don't forget we also have a module, Developing an IPM approach to PCN, available on the BASIS Classroom, created in collaboration with Bayer. To claim you 1CPD point for listening please wait for the code at the end of the episode. We currently have a winter offer on our BASIS Classroom digital courses (until 21st December 2022) where you can get 10% off our Principles of Sustainable Land Management course (worth 8CPD points) and the FACTS Nitrogen Use Efficiency Refresher.
After a brief (for us) hiatus of 84 days we return to blether on about, in no particular order: Branston pickle, vertical cities, AI art generators, Jessica Hische, Rings of Power, Design Principals, Awesome Merchandise, Tattly, LEGO Atari, and Fungus the Bogeyman.

We all love things we shouldn't love. Video games are no different. ”I can't believe you!” she screamed, having caught him in the act. She'd left work to surprise him. A lovely little act of kindness on what would have otherwise been a completely ordinary day. Just another feature-less weekday blended in with all the rest – the palatable home-made protein smoothie of life. A posh afternoon tea from the local fancy-for-the-area cafe that sits on the park. Sandwiches with pickle that isn't Branston's. Cheese that isn't 40% lighter cheddar. Scones with a hint of cinnamon. Homemade tray bakes the likes of which you usually only see on the TV that are the size of an eight-year-old's hand. How lovely. At least that was the intention. ”I didn't...” he stumbled. “I...” he added completely without point or reason. ”Get out,” she yelled, barely able to look at them together, the coffee table a mess of where they'd been. ”But...” he blurted out. “I was weak while picking up some bits from CO-OP. I'm sorry. ”I don't know why I did it. I'm sorry. I really am,” the chided man muttered, repentantly as he walked out the door. The woman sat down. She wasn't going to let this ruin her lunch. She pushed the empty Rustlers microwave burger wrappers into the bin and started eating her sandwiches. Welcome to VG247 Best Games Ever Podcast, Episode 10: Best game that is really bad. Please do let us know what you think of the show – and if this is your first time listening, do go back to listen to the previous episodes. If you've got suggestions for topics, we'd love to hear them. We've got a vault full of existing ideas, but about 98% of them are terrible, 1% are unrecordable, and the rest are just about passable in a pinch. “What is VG247's Best Games Ever Podcast?” you ask while pondering a Rustlers for lunch. To get straight to the point and to quote myself from last week: “It's a 30-minute panel show where we decide the best game in a specific category.” More importantly, please don't eat a Rustlers. You could pick almost any other item of food and come out the other side in a better place. We've got some details on the show's content below (if you want to get a refresher before heading to the comments to make a wonderful, considered post or don't want to listen but do want to know what games we picked), so if you want to avoid spoilers, don't scroll past this warning. W A R N I N G The Best Game that is really bad This is the topic of Episode ten of VG247's Best Games Ever Podcast. Here's a rundown of who picked what. Tom – Operation Wolf A much-loved video game of the 90s, porting from arcades to pretty much every console and system that was around at the time, Operation Wolf on the Master System is the perfect game that's good but also bad. You see, it was rock hard, and had to be played with a light gun to experience it at its best. Most people, me included, used a control pad. Sad times. Alex – Deadly Premonition So bad it's good. Has any game ever perfectly summed up this saying more than Deadly Premonition. It somehow manages to combine a lot of fairly terrible things into a game that has a sizable, dedicated fan following. The fact that the sequel (seen above) so badly misses the mark is another testament to how all the planets must have aligned perfectly for this gem to come into the world. Sherif - EDF Earth Defense Force (EDF) is a long-running series where you essentially have to shoot waves of giant ants (and other giant things). That's it. And it's amazing. Give it a look and you might not get what's so great about it, but trust when we say that this is one of the most fun you can have with a video game. It's technically a mess (every version) and feels quite bizarre compared to the standards set and adhered to in most video games, but that is part of its charm. Let us know what game you'd pick and if you think all old games are bad, actually? If you like the podcast, please subscribe and leave a review saying how wonderful it is, and tell all your friends. Do a tweet about it, post on Facebook, hire one of those planes to fly a banner promoting it over a big sporting event. Come back in a week for another episode of VG247's Best Games Ever Podcast.

Ben Currie catches up with Guy Branston, discussing his current relationship with football as well as reviewing his time with TUFC.
We learn from Tyler Branston about philosophy and the importance of critical thinking. We learn about what philosophy is, what a philosopher does, why the values of society will create destructive artificial intelligence, and why thinking like a philosopher would make the world a better place. And remember, no monkeys were harmed in the making of this podcast. The last two years have also taught us that the insane barrier to higher learning (e.g., tuition costs) is a disservice to humanity. In 2022, we want to spend several episodes a year talking with experts and learning from them. Afterwards, we will listen in on the monkeys think about what the expert shared. This is the first episode of our new mission - let everyone onto the playground.
Geoff, Gavin, and Andrew talk about Gavin doing the breadclip, Jake's tums/tooms vs Rolaid/Rolex, Papa John's Branston pickle pizza, Geoff's pool hole, bean hole video, Whippersnapper, Andrew learns about the royals, Shaq's wal mart purchase, basketball, and uneventful lives.

Before becoming a Knight, a galactic spaceman, or an airline billionaire, Richard Branson founded Virgin Records. He made a boatload of money off Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells record and sank some of the profits into signing the Sex Pistols after they got tossed from EMI. Hear the story directly from the mouth of Sir Richard Branson (not Branston, like the pickle) originally broadcast October 17, 2005. He even credits the Sex Pistols for everything he did after!

We like labels, as humans we like labeling things. Taxonomy is the branch of science concerned with classification and there used to be several inconsistent and sometimes conflicting systems of classification in use. Then came Carl Linneaus and his influential “Systema Naturae” in 1735, laying down the system we use to this day. Linnaeus was the first taxonomist to list humans as a primate, though he did classify whales as fish. Years later, a New York court agreed with him. My name's… D&D Stats Explained With Tomatoes Strength is being able to crush a tomato. Dexterity is being able to dodge a tomato. Constitution is being able to eat a bad tomato. Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad. Charisma is being able to sell a tomato based fruit salad. TOMATOES So that's more clear, but it raises a rather mad –and for some, maddening– question: Is the tomato a fruit or a vegetable? Well, yes, it's both, but actually no. Botanically, it's a fruit. But legally, it's not. A fruit is technically the seed-bearing structure of a plant whereas a vegetable can be virtually any part of the plant we eat. Things must have been slow in March of 1893, because this definition was set by the Supreme Court. The issue at hand was tariffs, specifically a 10% tariff on the import of vegetables into the United States. Just veggies. Imported fruits were not. This was of particular interest to John Nix of Manhattan. He ran a produce wholesale business along with his four sons and found himself the proud owner of an enormous tax bill on a shipment of Caribbean tomatoes. John Nix & Co. were one of the largest sellers of produce in New York City at the time, and one of the first companies to bring the Empire state produce from such far-flung places as Florida and Bermuda. Nix disputed the tax on the grounds that tomatoes were scientifically-supportably fruit. Full of seeds, ain't they? That's the part that seems to turn grown adults into fussy toddlers when their burger has a tomato despite their very clear instructions. Worse than the anti-pickle crowd. Anyway, Nix filed a suit against Edward L. Hedden, Collector of the Port of New York, to get back the tax money he'd been forced to pay under protest. The crux of Nix's case was the opening of an uninspired speech - counsel read the definitions of the words "fruit," "vegetables," and tomato from Webster's Dictionary, Worcester's Dictionary, and the Imperial Dictionary. Judgment for the plaintiff, case closed! But wait, there's more. Not to be outdone, defendant's counsel then read into evidence the Webster's definitions of the words pea, eggplant, cucumber, squash, and pepper. Oh, it's on now! Countering this, the plaintiff then read in the definitions of potato, turnip, parsnip, cauliflower, cabbage, carrot and bean. That's when, I assume, all hell broke loose in the courtroom and perhaps a giant musical number broke out. Just trying to jazz it up a bit. Nix's side called two witnesses, not botanists or linguists, but men with a lot of years in the fruit & veg business, to say whether these words had "any special meaning in trade or commerce, different from those read." The supreme court decided to look more practically and less pedantically at the situation and ruled that it's how a tomato is used that makes it a vegetable, not the official scientific definition. If people cook and eat them like vegetables, then vegetables they must be, and so they were subject to the tariff. “Botanically speaking, tomatoes are the fruit of a vine, just as are cucumbers, squashes, beans, and peas,” wrote Justice Horace Gray in his 1893 opinion. “But in the common language of the people, whether sellers or consumers of provisions, all these are vegetables.” What was really important about Nix's case was the timing. We're talking late Victorian, after the age of sail had been obviated by the steam power of the industrial revolution. You might have heard about it, it was in all the papers. Ships could now cross the Atlantic in 1-2 weeks, rather than the 6-12 weeks it took in a century prior. Foods from the tropics could now reach New England in a week or less, making their import a viable option. This was when bananas went from being expensive oddity to must-have trend to staple of every grocery store, though that was the Gros Michelle banana, the one our fake banana flavor is based on, not the Cavendish banana we eat today, but that's a topic for another show. To service the evolving tastes of urban population, a new class of national wholesalers, such as the Nixes, were born. The tomato's identity crisis was far from settled, though. In 1937, the League of Nations, precursor to the UN, sought to classify various goods for the purpose of tariffs and they too labeled tomatoes a veggie, putting them under the heading of “vegetables / edible plants / roots and tubers.” Not to be left out, the U.S. Department of Agriculture agreed, citing 1890s Nix v. Hedden case. But there are always exceptions, hold-outs, outliers, and just plain contrarians. Tennessee and Ohio made the tomato their state fruit. If you think that's silly, you might want to swallow your coffee before I tell you the state vegetable of Oklahoma is the watermelon. I did not care to look into their reasoning. The European Union went a step further with a directive in December 2001 classifying tomatoes as fruit — along with rhubarb, carrots, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins and melons. It's bad enough all prepackaged fruit bowls have some form of melon in them (which causes me instantaneous reverse peristalsis), but it you gave me a fruit salad and it had cucumbers in it, I have a parking lot and I'll fight you in it. But I think I'll give the last word to George Ball of the Burpee's seed and plant company: “Are [tomatoes] fruits? Of course,” he said. “Are they vegetables? You bet.” Though Burpee's does put “vegetable” on the seed packet, so maybe it's not settled after all. JAFFA CAKES Maybe things that grow are too ephemeral for man's taxonomy. Things are a lot of simpler when we're talking about man-made goods, things that don't grow on trees, and it is only a tragedy that you can't plant an entire orchard of Jaffa cake trees. For those whose life has not yet contained this job, a Jaffa cake it a little round of dense yellow cake –sponge, as they say in the home counties– with a disc of orange jelly on top enrobed in chocolate. It. Is. So. Good. You can sometimes find them in big grocery stores like Kroger and Publix if they have a large enough “International” aisle stock Branston pickle along with pad thai sauce and Tajin. This issue here it again taxes, but this time VAT. For those that don't speak British, VAT or Value-Added Tax is “A type of consumption tax that is placed on a product whenever value is added at a stage of production and at final sale.” Basically sales tax cranked to 11. VAT is a tax that is paid by everyone involved with the manufacture of a given object or foodstuff, as well as the consumer. As I go to air, the VAT rate in the UK is 20%. If you're a UK-based widget-maker, you pay VAT on the price of the raw materials. When you sell the widgets wholesale to a store, the retailer pays VAT on that sale. Then, when someone comes into the shop to buy one of your cutting-edge widgets, they pay VAT too. As with most areas of life, there are exceptions – a number of things are subjected to a reduced 5% rate and some things are exempt altogether. The exceptions are for the really necessary things, like mobility aids, menstrual hygiene products, stamps, end of life care, and most food, including cake. That's some grade A foreshadowing right there. But some foods are just so wonderful, they absolutely must be taxed and taxed fully. Such luxury items include alcohol, mineral water, confectioneries and, with the specificity that all governments seem to love, chocolate-covered biscuits. Regular biscuits are apparently basic essentials. No, American listeners, not like buttermilk biscuits, because even I'd have to think twice about covering one of those in chocolate. Whereupon I would do it. I could make that work. You're talking to the chick that made a startling good roasted garlic and parmesan ice cream. No, British biscuits are cookies. And British listeners, don't at me on soc meds with the definition of biscuit, because you know you're not consistent with it. The only word that's more confusing is pudding. Is that a dessert course, a sausage made of 80% blood, a flambeed Christmas dessert, or a suet dough stuffed with beef and veggies and steamed for eight hours? While I'm on British language, Cockney rhyming slang has got to be the worst thing… The McVities company had a notion otherwise. They appealed, prompting a Customs and Exchange VAT tribunal. Jaffa cakes, they said, shouldn't be taxed at the “most food” 20% rate, but at the 5% rate of chocolate-covered biscuits. It takes a lot of brass to make that claim when you yourself named the product Jaffa *cakes. [tiktok] origin story] According to the website for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, the court first had to establish a legal definition of what made a cake a cake and what makes a biscuit a biscuit, before determining which column Jaffa Cakes belonged in. Jaffa Cakes were assessed using the following criteria: The product name, ingredients, texture, structure of the product, the size, how the product is sold, and how the product is marketed. Towards this end, the main arguments on behalf of the office of Customs and Excise were that Jaffa Cakes are the approximate size and shape of biscuits, are stocked on the shelves with the biscuits, and, owing in no small part to McVities' own marketing, people eat them in the sort of contexts biscuit are eaten. McVities countered by stating that Jaffa Cakes are baked in the manner of cake and of the same base ingredients. Their master stroke was staleness – cakes go hard as they stale and biscuits go soft. When Jaffa cakes go stale, and it's hard to imagine them sitting there long enough, they go hard. McVities actually let a bunch of them out to go stale and brouhght them into court as evidence. And in a legal tactic I'd like to see more often, McVities baked a big ol' 12-inch version of a Jaffa Cake, to show that if you blew it up to the size of a normal cake, it would just be a cake. If I were on the other side of it, I might make a big deal over the name, but the judge presiding over the case, Mr D.C Potter, ruled that to be of “no serious relevance” because a product's name often has little to do with its actual function. In the end, the court decided the Jaffa Cake was, in fact, a cake, and the Irish Revenue Commissioners agreed, though their ruling was based on the Jaffa Cakes' moisture content being greater than 12%. So no VAT on Jaffa cakes, which means we can buy more of them, hooray! HYDROX VS OREO In 1882, the entrepreneur Jacob Loose bought a biscuit and candy company that would eventually be known as Sunshine Biscuits, the company that would eventually give us Cheez-its, which my ex-husband went through at least a box of a week, dipping in port wine cheese spread. About as close as he ever got to a balanced diet. In 1908, launched the cream-filled chocolate sandwich biscuit known as Hydrox. The name, he thought, would be reminiscent of sparkling sunlight and evoked an impression of cleanliness (probably because it sounds like a disinfectant). This was after all only a few years after the Pure Food and Drug Act, before which your canned veggies might be full of borax and your milk be a watered down concoction of chalk dust and cow brains, and you wouldn't know. Some tellings have it that Hydrox is a portmanteau of hydrogen and oxygen, the elements that make up water, the gold standard of purity. Meanings aside, the fact that there actually was a Hydrox Chemical Company in business at the time, one that sold hydrogen peroxide and was caught up in a trademark lawsuit at the time over the use of the word “hydrox,” should have given them a hint to maybe go back to committee. Hydrox chemicals lawsuit, btw, pointed out that the word “hydrox” was already in use for such disparate things as coolers, soda, and ice cream, so maybe Jacob Loose figured the word is out there, might as well use it. For four years, Hydrox cookies with their lovely embossed flower design made cash registers ring for Sunshine Biscuits. Then, 90 years almost to the day of this episode dropping, the National Biscuit Company came along –you probably know them by their shortened name, Nabisco– with the launch of three different cookies, the Mother Goose biscuit, the Veronese biscuit, both now lost to history, and the Oreo. The cookies were very similar, with Oreos even being embossed by the same time of production machine, but Hydrox have a sweeter filling and less-sweet cookie. Like VHS vs beta, which you can learn more about in the book and audiobook, the newcomer soon came to dominate the landscape, and there's no clear reason why. Any chocolate sandwich biscuit is offhandedly called an Oreo, no matter how cheap a replica it may be. It's literally the best-selling cookie in the world now, with $3.28 billion in sales in the U.S. alone. They sell 92 million cookies per day throughout 100-plus countries under the parent brand Mondelez International. That ubiquity has led a lot of people to erroneously assume that Oreo is the original and Hydrox is the Mr. Pibb to their Dr. Pepper. Hydrox did manage to hold onto a cadre of die-hards, especially in areas with significant Jewish populations, because Hydrox were always kosher. Oreo cream used to be made with lard from pigs and Nabisco would later have to invest a lot of resources into replacing the lard with shortening in the 90's. Sunshine Biscuits was purchased by Keebler in 1996, who replaced Hydrox with a reformulated product called "Droxies," which 100% sounds like drug slang for a veterinary tranquilizer. Keebler was acquired by Kellogg's in 2001, and Kellogg's yanked Droxies from the shelves before adding a similar chocolate sandwich cookie to the Famous Amos brand, then discontinued them. In August 2008, on the cookie's 100th anniversary, Kellogg's resumed distribution of Hydrox under the Sunshine label, a limited distribution, one and done. Hydrox-heads besieged Kellogg's with phone calls and an online petition, asking that Hydrox be brought back for good, but all for naught. Less than a year later Kellogg's had removed Hydrox from their website. “This is a dark time in cookie history,” one Hydrox partisan, Gary Nadeau, wrote, according to the Wall Street Journal. “And for those of you who say, ‘Get over it, it's only a cookie,‘ you have not lived until you have tasted a Hydrox.” As of the time of writing, I've never had one myself, but I'll see if I can't lay my hands on some before going to air. Getting my hands on some may be a touch trickier than it should be. They exist; that's not the issue. In 2015, entrepreneur Ellia Kassoff, a lover of Hydrox who knew the trick to getting a trademark someone else had allowed to lapse, was able to pick up Hydrox for his own company, Leaf Brands—itself a dormant brand that Kassoff had revived. Hip to the time, Leaf Brands made Hydrox available on Amazon, so anyone anywhere could get them whenever they wanted (plus two days for delivery). These new Hydrox weren't going to bow gracefully to the dominant Oreo. Their website points out that they use real cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup, and no hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors, and GMOs, and warn consumers, "don't eat a knock-off!" Hydrox are also made in the USA while Mondelez International was laying off U.S. workers. Sales of Hydrox grew by 2,406 percent from 2016 to 2017, amassing more than $492,000 in sales — clearly, still light-years away from Oreo's overwhelming dominance in the market, but impressive progress nonetheless. If you ask Leaf Brands, they'd be doing a lot better if not for Mondelez – not out-competing them, deliberately sabotaging them. This is the hard-to-find bit I alluded to. In August 2018, Leaf Brands filed a lawsuit against Mondelez International, seeking $800 million in damages because of "lost sales and reputation.” The charges claimed that Mondelez was using its massive industry muscle "to place their own products in favorable locations in stores and move competitors in less desirable positions on store shelves." On their Facebook page, you can see pictures of grocery stores where Hydrox cookies are hidden behind other displays, scooted to the back of shelves, and even turned sideways so the short end is facing out. If you've never worked grocery retail, your instinct may be to blame the store staff, but a lot of brands are actually stocked by the manufacturer. Ever pass a guy in a Pepsi polo shirt with hand-truck loaded with soda? That, but with cookies. And it's not just their own products. Mondelez is what's called a “category captain,” meaning they get to determine much of the layout for the whole cookie aisle. Leaf alleges that Mondelez employees and agents are deliberately making Hydrox harder to find while making Oreos pert near impossible to miss. This is far from the first lawsuit over Oreos. A class action lawsuit was filed claiming the cookies misled buyers by stating that the product contains real cocoa. The judge dismissed the case. And they were sued for Fudge Covered Mint Oreos not containing any actual fudge. The plaintiffs claim that these cookies don't contain any milkfat from dairy, a key component of fudge, but rather cheaper palm and palm kernel oil. As so often happens, there are eleventy-hundred articles from the week the case was filed and nothing on the outcome. That's what happened with the main point of this article. I was dead sure I remembered Hydrox and Oreo going to court over the basic infringement question, and Hydrox losing, but I couldn't turn up anything on that because of the sabotage lawsuit sucking up all the search results. X-MEN It's not all foodie fact fun today. I'm going to risk a copyright strike to play 15 seconds of a song that will make everyone near me in age go “aw yeah!” [sfx Xmen theme] For the young or those who had social lives in high school, that's the theme song to the 90's Xmen cartoon, and it slaps, as they kids used to say. For the truly uninitiated, and c'mon even my mom knows who the Xmen are, the story centers on a group of superheroes who get their powers from genetic mutations…and government experiments, time travel, by dint of being aliens – it's a comic book, what do you want. Ever since their introduction to the Marvel Universe in 1963, the X-Men have always had to deal with questions about their humanity. While their enemies will stop at nothing to cast them as monsters, the team continues to fight for a world where they are treated just like humans. That's in-universe. In the broader reality, it's actually in the X-Men's best interest not to be considered humans. Well, Marvel comics financial bottom line, anyway, and they went to court over it. In 1993, international trade lawyers Sherry Singer and Indie Singh found an interesting provision in a book of federal tariff classifications – “dolls” are taxed at 12% on import while “toys” are only taxed 6.8%. The devil is in the details, or in this case, the definition. A “toy” can be any shape, representing any thing, but a "doll" can only be a representation of a human being, like Barbie or GI Joe. [tik tok Joe's thumbnail] Singer and Singh knew this distinction could be a sizable financial benefit for their client, Marvel Entertainment, who had an ownership stake in ToyBiz at the time. For years, Marvel had been importing action figures that were taxed as dolls, despite their wide panoply of brightly colored characters often being anything but human. Taking a direct approach, the two lawyers gathered up a literal bag full of action figures and went to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection headquarters in Washington, D.C. to try and convince them that Marvel wasn't importing humanlike “dolls,” but instead very non-human “toys.” The Customs staff's reaction to the bag of toys is not recorded, but their official response was that the “non-human characteristics” of the X-Men and other action figures “fall far short of transforming [these figures] into something other than the human beings which they represent.” Singer and Singh were locked onto this tactic and pursued it for a decade. A judge considered various figures from Marvel's whole line to decide whether or not individual characters were human or not. Rippling pecs, long claws, blue skin, red eyes, all were scrutinized, as lawyers on both sides expostulated on the philosophical ramifications of what it means to be human. How can these action figures be human if they have "tentacles, claws, wings, or robotic limbs?" I'd loved to have been there to hear people with expensive educations in tailored suits, stand before a learned jurist in a wood-paneled courtroom and say things like, "The figure of 'Kingpin' resembles a man in a suit carrying a staff. Nothing in the storyline indicates that Kingpin possesses superhuman powers. Yet, Kingpin is known to have exceedingly great strength (however 'naturally' achieved) and the figure itself has a large and stout body with a disproportionately small head and disproportionately large hands. Even though 'dolls' can be caricatures of human beings, the court is of the opinion that the freakishness of the figure's appearance coupled with the fabled 'Spider-Man' storyline to which it belongs does not warrant a finding that the figure represents a human being." In 2003, Judge Judith Barzilay ruled that Marvel characters aren't quite human enough to taxed as dolls. “They are more than (or different than) humans. These fabulous characters use their extraordinary and unnatural physical and psychic powers on the side of either good or evil. The figures' shapes and features, as well as their costumes and accessories, are designed to communicate such powers." Yay, a victory for the giant multimillion dollar corporation! But a slap in the face for diehard X-Men fans. Chuck Austen, one of the writers for Uncanny X-Men at the time, said his whole goal in the story was to show the team's humanity. The nerds grew restless and Marvel had to issue a statement that read, "Don't fret, Marvel fans, our heroes are living, breathing human beings—but humans who have extraordinary abilities ... A decision that the X-Men figures indeed do have 'nonhuman' characteristics further proves our characters have special, out-of-this world powers." And that's… To protect the public from contaminated oil, New York State law required that all fish oil be gauged, inspected and branded, with a penalty of $25 per barrel on those who failed to comply. Samuel Judd purchased three barrels of whale oil that had not been inspected, and James Maurice, a fish oil inspector, sought to collect the penalty from him. Judd pleaded that the barrels contained whale oil, not fish oil, and so were not subject to the fish oil legislation. At trial, one side said the term "fish oil" was commonly understood to include whale oil, and the other side plead the obvious science that whales are mammals. The jury deliberated for 15 minutes and returned a verdict in favor of the fish oil inspector. Mr. Judd, dissatisfied with the verdict, moved for a new trial. By then, the Legislature was in session and the Recorder, knowing that a new fish oil bill was pending, delayed his decision on the motion. The new enactment limited the inspection to fish liver oil, and the Recorder took the view that this implicitly confirmed that the earlier legislation covered whale oil. Accordingly, he refused to grant Judd's motion for a new trial. James Maurice resigned his position as fish oil inspector because he considered that the position under the new law had too little value or importance.

NARRATOR The ocean was full of tasty surprises. EXT. Pan on Branston taking a bite of a burrito. NARRATOR All of a sudden-- ARRIVAL IN SPAIN SONG BEGINS INT. Sail boat, rocking—burritos fly out boat LANGDON Batten down the hatches! CAPTAIN KENDRA Ah! [translates to— We're heeling! To the helm, SO) AOIFE Ah! [translates to-- Aye Aye, Captain] CAPTAIN KENDRA BA, Help the passengers! LANGDON Aye Aye, Captain! LANGDON leaps and pushes BRANSTON and EVAN onto the floor of the sailboat. NARRATOR The storm raged throughout the night. The crew had nothing to do but wait. (LANGDON sat up in the night. She looked towards BRANSTON and saw a glow or something. She cocks her head to the side and goes back to sleep) LANGDON Strange. ARRIVAL IN SPAIN SONG BEGINS TO TRANSITION EXT. Streets of Spain. People are walking, carts are moving, vendors are out. NARRATOR By morning, the crew realized they had reached... ALL Land! NARRATOR They scrambled off the sailboat to explore the rich Spanish culture. CAPTAIN KENDRA Welcome to Spain! EVAN Wow, do you smell that food!? AOIFE Look at the flowers! LANGDON Listen to the music! BRANSTON Look at all that fruit! EXT. A fruit cart comes by between the crowd and runs straight into BRANSTON whom the cart passes through. BRANTSON looks shocked. BRANSTON Did anyone see that?! AOIFE See what? BRANSTON Throw something at me. (AOIFE throws an orange at BRANSTON) BRANSTON What. Is. Happening?! LANGDON It can't be... CAPTAIN KENDRA Langdon, speak up! LANGDON I thought it was a dream. Back on the boat, during that awful storm. I saw... something change about Branston. It was like he was floating above his body...like a...ghost. EVAN Cooooool! BRANSTON, shocked I'm dead? CAPTAIN KENDRA And it appears no one but the crew can see you. EVAN Hey! Stop that worrying! This is an opportunity. Imagine all the things you can do now that you're invisible to everyone else! BEGIN PARTY MUSIC NARRATOR So, they took advantage of Branston's newfound-- “talent”. Branston did everything an invisible person/ghost would do. He walked through walls, snuck into fancy restaurants, played pranks, and snuck into the biggest baseball games. For weeks, the boys mischievously galivanted through the town. They frequented the Spanish clubs as they danced and played their pranks. One fateful night, Branston noticed unusual activity coming from the other side of the dance floor. Purses, candles, silverware all mysteriously levitated. Suddenly—a figure! A figure with the same translucent paleness as Branston—a fellow ghost? Branston drifted through the crowd, but by the time he was on the other side of the dance floor, they were gone. BRANSTON Evan! Come quick! EVAN What's up? BRANSTON I think I saw a ghost! EVAN [he laughs.] Nice one buddy. BRANSTON No, really. I think I saw someone else like me…but they just left. EVAN Cooooool! Let's check behind the club. NARRATOR The boys rushed outside and began to walk down the alley when they heard singing from a villa. GHOST SONG ENSEMBLE SING FOR THE FRIENDS WE HAVE OH, SING BECAUSE WE CAN OH, SING HERE'S A PLACE WE CAN SING WITH THE ONES YOU LOVE DAISY HERE WE HAVE A HOME, FREE OF THE OUTSIDE WORLD-- JECKO YEEEHAW JASMINE OH, PLENTY OF FOOD TO EAT, PART OF A FAMILY JECKO HEY HEY JECKO Welcome to Villa Fantasma! I am Jecko. JASMINE (IN ENGLISH ACCENT) I'm Jasmine. DAISY (IN SPANISH ACCENT) And I'm Daisy. EVAN This is Branston, and I'm Evan. This is a cool hangout you got! JASMINE (IN ENGLISH ACCENT) Evan, you're the first living sock who I've known to be able to see us. EVAN Awesome! BRANSTON I didn't know there were others like me out there. JECKO Over the years, we found each other and started this family. It can be hard to feel invisible...let alone BE invisible to most. BRANSTON Wow, I guess I'm not the only one. But I don't know what you're talking about. Being invisible is great! We can get away with anything. DAISY (IN SPANISH ACCENT) Give it time. NARRATOR It didn't take long for Branston to find out what they were talking about. As the days and nights dragged on, Branston realized he couldn't go out without Evan. Driving while invisible, openly eating in public invisible, and taking a stroll while holding Patches seemed to be impossible without drawing attention and fear. [PATCHES and BRANSTON are curled up together. BRANSTON looks sad. PATCHES tries to nudge him for a pet with no comfort given to BRANSTON. PATCHES gives up and looks around. CAMERA looks to a picture of BRANSTON and his family. PATCHES meows and moves over towards the picture, rubbing his head on it. BRANSTON looks over] HOME PLAYS BRANSTON HOME IS WHERE I WANT TO BE-GIN TO FIND MY WAY I'M TIRED OF FLYING WANDERING LIKE I'M OKAY I'VE GOT A NEW PLAN, BETTER THAN THROWING MY AFTERLIFE AWAY THE INVISIBLE MAN CAN LEND A HAND INSTEAD OF SITTING ON THE BENCH HOME IS WHERE THEY HAVE GOOD EATS RUNNING THROUGH FIELDS FEELS GOOD ON MY FEET I'LL FIND MY HAPPILY EVER AFTER, YEAH AND PATCHES AND I CAN RELAX I KNOW WHERE I'LL GO GOING HOME I'LL FIND A PLACE FOR US TO BELONG [during musical break, CAMERA shows video of ghost friends in spain in slow motion having fun] [show BRANSTON waking up] NARRATOR The next day, BRANSTON left his home with more determination than his little teenage life had ever seen. [show outside of ghost home] BRANSTON Hey! Jecko! JECKO Hey hey hey! What's up? BRANSTON I have an idea. I like what you guys have got going here, but I'm missing home. Do you think you could help me get something started back in America? [JECKO smiles and nods] [Scene opens with Evan with sideways glasses walking slowly—very tired.] BRANSTON [timid] Hey, Evan. I need to talk to you about something. EVAN Me too...[blurts] I'm thinking maybe it's time to go home! I'm tired of staying up late and partying every night. I just want my bed, and I want sleep! I hope that's okay with you. BRANSTON That's exactly what I was going to say. It's time to go home and start our new lives. PATCHES Meow. NARRATOR That day, the crew gathered. Captain Kendra, Aoife, Langdon, Branston, Evan, Jecko, and of course, Patches, set sail back to America. [show sail boat flipped horizontally and headed the opposite direction] NARRATOR Branston returned to his family home, the Roselands House, and with Jecko's help, created a home where ghosts could feel seen. Evan became an ambassador for healthy ghost and sock puppet relationships so his friends could feel comfortable anywhere they went. Ghosts came from around the country to experience and partake in the haunted family. As for me, I've been at the mansion since their 100-year anniversary. I continued to provide for the ghosts in the house, and they even helped me out with my music! The Daddy Yankee Mansion-- BRANSTON Roselands Mansion! NARRATOR Is a home for all.

(0:18) Hard Rock Remix- CECA's Remix Culture Class Students from CECA's Remix Culture class used samples from 70s hard rock and country in order to put together a Hard Rock song with a modern feel. Students made choices about the melodic elements of the guitars as well as how each sample would be manipulated. (2:15) From Folk to Dance- CECA's Remix Culture Class CECA's Remix culture class put this EDM influenced dance track by sampling folk songs from the 2010s and Dance music from the 90s. Each song sampled was chosen by students in the class, and students also made choices regarding the rhythmic elements of the drums and melodic instruments. (6:16) Turkish Rock and Roll- CECA's World Music Class CECA's World Music class completed this project as they finished learning about the diverse musical pallet from the country of Turkey. The song is in Hungarian Minor, and uses the Turkish instrument the Oud, along with more conventional rock instruments, such as the guitar, bass, drums and keyboard. Students chose the tempo and all rhythmic and melodic elements of the song. (3:16) Como La Single Ladies- CECA's Melody Maker Class CECA's Melody Maker class could not decide between writing a song or conducting an interview for their next project, so-- they decided to do both! Clients interviewed two of their peers, used their favorite songs, and rewrote the lyrics to cover their interview questions. Clients chose questions, wrote lyrics, chose instruments, and directed the project. They hope you enjoy listening!

Tonight I talked about Men of Perdition, people born with a destiny of being evil. I talked about Scriptures pertaining to other worldly beings, technologically manufactured entities, hybrids, hubrids, and how technology, A.I., and men of perdition might offer mankind a false chance to be eternal and godlike. I presented the Dulce Book, by Branston and compared it with the work of David Jacobs.

Lo Que Traigo Es Sabroso fue el tercer álbum de Eddie Palmieri y su conjunto La Perfecta. Lo grabó para el sello Alegre en 1964, pero cuando Alegre fue absorbido por Branston Music. Es decir, este fue el primero de Alegre con un dueño distinto a su fundador, pues Al Santiago lo había vendido al dueño de Branston, Morris Levy. Aún así, se mantuvo la numeración y fue el disco número 32 de la serie 800 con etiqueta interior negra. Luego, Branston alternaría estas producción de Alegre con Tico Records, aunque este en sus sucesivas reediciones se mantuvo como Alegre únicamente. Aclarado esto, contemos la historia de Lo Que Traigo Es Sabroso en La Hora Faniática.

Really enjoyed catching up with former teammate Guy Branston. Guy is now doing great things at his local club Leicester City where he deals with player loans and their development. He is very much involved on and off the field with these players, ensuring that they are equipped to deal with things on the pitch and also their wellbeing off it. During this podcast we spoke about his career, his mental approach to playing where he used to read up on ways to improve his thinking, diet and more which has helped him in later life. We also discussed his transition away from football and what he thinks needs to be done to help players when it comes to life after football. Oh and he also tells a great story where he punched through the referee's door after being sent off!
This week we have former Oldham player Guy Branston on the podcast. We discuss his time at the club along with current on goings.

The Chief has a passion for policing and it is evident in his 30-year career in law enforcement.The Chief is very passionate about solving two cases that are very close to his heart. You will hear about them in this interview. I have witnessed this first hand as we have worked together on the missing Steven William Branston case. I completed two forensic art age progressions of Steven to the age of 40 years back in 2016. Steven William Branston was reported missing in Lakeport, California in October 1996 but last known to be in Honolulu, Hawaii in August 1996. You will also hear how the Chief is determined to solve the homicide of 43-year-old Barbara Gaye LaForge. This is a very sad case and what happened to Barbara should have never happened to any human being. Barbara was shot four times at close range with a .22-caliber weapon at the Wildwood Frame Shop and Inspirations Gallery on Main St. in downtown Lakeport, California on October 8th, 2002.Solving these cases continues to be Chief Rasmussen’s highest priority.If you know where Steven Branston is today or who murdered Barbara Gaye LaForge please contact us with that information.Lakeport Police Department, 2025 South Main Street, Lakeport CA 95453Phone Number: 707-263-5491 Fax Number: 707-263-3846 info@lakeportpolice.orgHonolulu, Hawaii Police Department 808-529-3111 or 808-529-3394https://www.facebook.com/LakeportPolice/www.canihelpfindyourmissinglovedone.com under TIPS (you may also leave a tip and we will forward it to Chief Brad Rasmussen)~Be sure to subscribe to the podcast so you don't miss an episode.You may be the reason a missing loved one comes home or a murderer is caught and taken off the streets.https://www.buzzsprout.com/1004203

This week we make our second visit to the village of Branston, and on the journey there we indulge in one of our favourite pass times: a pointless competition. Paul wheezes his way up Canwick Hill on his bike while Jonny peers into people's gardens from the top deck as he races him on the bus. Once there, it's all about Sex and the Suburbs as we discuss the love life of the couple on the "Elderly Crossing" road sign and speculate on the secret meaning of melons hung over garden fences, before calming ourselves down with talk of 1980s computer games. Meanwhile back in the studio Tref is making demands and Jo "Turnip Husbandry" Hughes talks Monkeys. All this, plus another round of A Question of Lincoln...
