In 1918, German flying ace Manfred von Richthofen chased an inexperienced Canadian pilot out of a dogfight and up the Somme valley. It would be the last chase of his life. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe the last moments of the Red Baron and the enduring controversy over who ended his career. We'll also consider some unwanted name changes and puzzle over an embarrassing Oscar speech. Intro: In the early 1970s, AI researcher James Meehan tried to teach a computer to retell Aesop's fables. In 1983, Jacob Henderson appealed a burglary conviction on the ground that the indictment was illiterate.

Brian Bergman is a qualified Vet who currently works from a Veterinary Practice in Khayelitsha. Although this in itself would be a fascinating conversation, we ended up not discussing it at all. Instead I learned that he almost gave up Veterinary, in today's conversation we will hear how a trip to Nepal would lead him to an Ashram in India. Brian would end up spending a year studying at the Ashram, learning meditation and practicing Sivananda and Karma Yoga, the latter is very much focused on ‘service', with the intention of becoming more aware of self and to grow.  Brian shares some stories from his time at the Ashram and we will learn how it would go on to shape his approach to life.On his return to South Africa, Brian attempted to move away from Veterinary but was drawn back rather quickly, this time able to approach it with a whole new mindset which would give him deeper fulfillment.He wanted to continue the practice of service he had learnt at the Ashram so he created a Prison Yoga Project which he ran with a partner for 10 consecutive years. This experience would prove to be hugely beneficial for the prisoners but was also a deep learning experience for him too.Brian talks about how the practice of yoga has evolved for him, to be a mindful practice that he sets about maintaining throughout his day, by being present, aware and connected to his surroundings. This is something he shared with the prisoners too, many of whom would end up completing Yoga Instructor courses whilst in prison. It was really fascinating to hear about the project.Brian talks about how a difficult breakup with his long time partner would see him briefly turn away from all the practices he had learnt. It was at this time that he properly discovered the healing process of dance. We hear about his journey with dance and how he has managed to combine yogic practices with dance, to create deep transformational experiences.I really enjoyed our conversation, we explore what it means to be human and how, by being of service, we can transcend aspects of ourselves to enjoy a richer experience of life.I know you will find great value in this episode.Sign Up to our ‘Podcast Portal' for access to show notes, exclusive content and special offers.Sign Up > www.awakentonature.comJOIN THE COMMUNITY:Instagram > @awakentonatureFacebook > @awakentonature

All over the world, there is a huge need for love, compassion and fostering innerstrength. This week, Heather sits down with Leela Codron, who has dedicated her life to creating compassionate spaces for underpriveleged people in her community. She talks to us about the power of mindfulness— a tool that doesn’t require permission or money; A tool that will make you feel immediately better from the inside out. Photograph: Lee-Ann Olwage/Bhekisisa Imprisonment is an archaic system that has proven itself to be incredibly bias and futile. As a result, incarcerated people are often overlooked or forgotten about by society. They’re living in a state of anxiety, in prisons that are overcapacity and understaffed. Leela (and her business partner, Brian Bergman) saw a need there and created the Prison Freedom Project. Whether you’re locked within a jailcell or driving around with your children and wife, we all create cages for ourselves. Leela teaches us how to tackle the negative thoughts we have, and how to achieve true freedom.  LINKS Seva Unite Leela Codron Contribue to the Prison Freedom Project Free Inside Documentary Subscribe and Rate us on iTunes
