Matra fue una empresa dedicada a los cohetes, los aviones y las armas… y un buen día decidieron hacer coches, deportivos y de competición, con gran éxito. Si conoces esta marca… no te puedes perder este video. Pero, si no la conoces… ¡no te puedes perder este vídeo! Hay marcas de coches de competición, quizás no tan populares, por las que tengo especial debilidad. Una de ellas es BRM o British Racing Motors, de la que en este mismo momento me comprometo a hacer un vídeo. La otra es Chaparral y de ésta ya tenemos vídeo titulado “Historia de Chaparral, desconocidos y revolucionarios”. Y la otra es Matra. Mécanique Aviation et Traction. A estas palabras corresponden las siglas de MATRA, una empresa fundada en 1941, en plena segunda guerra mundial por Marcel Chassagny, con la finalidad de proveer material y armamento aeronáutico para el gobierno Frances. No me voy a extender mucho en la parte militar de MATRA, pero los que comenzaron a hacer con éxito fue el combinar su experiencia en la aeronáutica con sus conocimientos en la fabricación de bombas, construyendo lo que podríamos calificar de primeros misiles. El más conocido puede que sea el MATRA BGL-1000, donde BGL es el acrónimo de “Bombe a Guidage Laser”, es decir, guiada por láser aparecida en 1978. Estas bombas se podían acoplar a los aviones de fabricación francés Mirage 2.000 y F1 e incluso en aviones norteamericanos… de hecho se usaron en la Guerra del Golfo. Pero fue en los primeros años 60 cuando la marca René Bonnet Automobiles sufre graves problemas financieros… y es adquirida por MATRA. El propietario y director de MATRA, Marcel Chassagny, ve una oportunidad de expandir sus negocios al sector de las 4 ruedas, que considera que puede ser muy rentable en tiempos de paz, y comienza la fabricación del primer MATRA, el Djet. Marcel era un enamorado de los coches y de la competición y ficha el ingeniero aeronáutico de gran prestigio, Jean-Lun Lagardère para dirigir la producción de coches y dos divisiones creadas por él, que darían mucho que hablar: MATRA Sport y Engines MATRA, dedicadas respectivamente a los coches de competición y a los motores. El Djet era un coupé con motor central, generalmente considerado como el primeo o al menos uno de los primeros coches con motor central comercializados en serie. Era un coche de 4,2 metros de largo, una gran distancia entre ejes y solo 660 kg de peso, movido por el motor del R-8 Major, para entendernos, en R-8 TS español de 1.108 cm subido de potencia hasta los 72 CV primero y los 80 después. En las versiones de competición se superaban los 100 CV. Al Djet le sustituye en 1967 el 530, nombre reutilizado de sus misiles, con el peculiar motor V4 de Ford que equiparon muchos de sus modelos e incluso el Saab 96. Un motor de potencia similar al de Renault, 70 CV, pero mucho más compacto. El objetivo era competir con el Lotus Elan, de gran prestigio en esos tiempos. Pero MATRA aspiraba a fabricar coches de mayor difusión y no solo deportivos, aunque siempre coches muy “especiales” en el mejor sentido de la palabra. En los años 70 llega a un fructífero acuerdo con Simca y fabrican un original coupé de tres plazas y bonito nombre, Bagheera. En los finales de los 70 y primeros 80 llegan coches muy interesantes. Por un lado, el Bagheera y sustituido por el Murena, más moderno, pero para mí no más bonito, pero con motores que alcanzan los 2.2 litros. Creo que estos dos coches se merecen un vídeo, decidme si os parece interesante. En 1977 se lanza el primer MATRA que no es un deportivo, casi os diría que podría considerarse un moderno SUV… pero con estilo: El MATRA Rancho o el MATRA-Simca Rancho. Como sabéis Simca fue absorbida por PSA, o sea, por Peugeot. Y en MATRA pensaron en un innovador coche familiar, pero muy práctico y con un encanto especial, el considerado el primero monovolumen europeo, el Espace. Y Peugeot lo rechazó… quizás demasiado innovador para esa marca. Y se lo presentaron a Renault, una marca más atrevida y que aceptó el reto… no hace falta que os diga que fue un éxito. Un éxito que no puede decir que haya llegado hasta nuestros días, pues la actual Espace es, desde 2023 otro SUV más. Pero la primera Espace, fabricada por la propia MATRA es para mí de lejos la más bonito, fue una auténtica revolución y un éxito, tal éxito que en 1991 Renault prescinde de MATRA para diseñar y fabricar su propia Espace. El fracaso del Avantime, también diseñado y fabricado por MATRA quizás tuvo algo que ver. Pero ahora, damos un paso atrás y nos vamos a 1965. ¡Llegamos a los coches de carreras! Y es que Chassagny pensó que el Motorsport era un medio de mejorar el prestigio de la empresa y por tanto las ventas. Y en 1965 funda Matra Sport, diseña su propio Fórmula 3, el MS5 con Ford Cosworth y participan en el prestigioso Campeonato Francés. El éxito fue inmediato, consiguieron nada menos que tres campeonatos consecutivos con tres verdaderos pilotazos, en 1965 Jean Pierre Beltoise, en 1966 Johnny Servoz-Gavin y en 1967 Henri Pescarolo. En 1966 “ascienden” a la Formula 2 utilizando motores BRM y a partir de 1967 con el MS7 de motor Cosworth obteniendo tres campeonatos europeos de F2, en 1967 Jacky Ickx del equipo Tyrrell Racing, en 1968 Beltoise de Matra Sport y en 1969 Servoz-Gavin del Matra International. MATRA donde iba, arrasaba. Y el gobierno francés, a través de la petrolera ELF, ayuda a financiar el diseño y fabricación de un motor de Fórmula Uno. Y comienzan en la temporada 1969, a través del equipo Matra Internacional con los pilotos Stewart y Beltoise y sobre los monoplazas MS10, MS84 y MS80. El binomio MATRA MS80 y Stewart se muestran intratables, ganando los GG.PP. de Sudáfrica, España, Países Bajos, Francia, Gran Bretaña e Italia, y consiguiendo el doblete, Stewart Campeón Mundial de Fórmula 1 y MATRA la Copa de Constructores. Un verdadero logro, ya que estos títulos se consiguieron apena cuatro años en el mundo de las carreras. En la F1 lo importante es ganar el Mundial y en la resistencia lo importante es ganar la 24 Horas de Le Mans. Consigue más impacto el equipo que gana Le Mans que el que gana el Campeonato y esto lo tenía claro MATRA que centra todos sus esfuerzos en la mítica prueba francesa. Fue una decisión muy acertada consiguiendo tres victorias consecutivas con dos denominadores comunes: El motor V12 y el entonces llamada “Monsieur Le Mans” el grandísimo Henri Pescarolo. Pescarolo venció en 4 ediciones de Le Mans y en 21 pruebas del Mundial de resistencia. Estos fueron los equipos victoriosos: 1972, Pescarolo-Hill con Matra MS670, 1973, Pescarolo-Larrousse con Matra MS670B y 1974 Pescarolo-Larrousse con Matra MS670C. Conclusión. MATRA fabricó coches deportivos muy interesante, imagino conches muy innovadores y ganó con autoridad campeonatos de Fórmula 3, Fórmula 2, llegó a la Fórmula 1, venció tres veces Le Mans y fue proveedor de motores para otros equipos… y su motor V12 es un referente entre los motores de competición. Quién iba a pensar que un fabricante de armamento y accesorios para el mundo aeroespacial llegase a tanto.

Today's episode is very timely. Our guest is Margo Robbins, cofounder and Executive Director of the Cultural Fire Management Council. Margo advocates for the return of cultural burning practices as a way to strengthen community, support biodiversity, and mitigate out of control fires that plague so many areas.But before I get further into the details of today's episode, I want to note that it was recorded just a few days prior to the tragic and devastating wildfires that affected the Los Angeles area in January. We've had numerous interviews on Nature's Archive with wildfire and prescribed burning experts, so if you've heard any of those, you know that fire frequency, intensity, and management practices vary dramatically depending on what habitats and climates we're talking about. Los Angeles is predominantly shrubland and chaparral, which has been invaded by numerous invasive grass species, further enhancing fire risk.Today's episode focuses largely on the forested lands of Northern California, specifically, Yurok tribal lands. So while the topics discussed here may apply to other habitats, the specifics will vary.Despite all of the past episodes relating to wildfire, we've had a notable gap - that is, no one has been able to speak to traditional indigenous use of fire. That is, until today.So today you'll hear why cultural fire is so important across so many dimensions of life. You'll hear how cultural fire can be safely practiced, and how it has strengthened the Yurok community. If the idea of purposeful fire being beneficial to the land is new to you, I invite you to check out episode #89 with Lenya Quinn-Davidson - it's one of our most popular and provides good baseline information for today's episode. In fact, we have several other episodes that discuss wildfire, prescribed burning, and more - all are listed below.I was incredibly grateful for Margo spending the time with us today. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did.FULL SHOW NOTESLinksCultural Fire Management CouncilIndigenous Peoples Burning Network (IPBN)Tending the Wild by M.

Hello Interactors,It's been awhile. I've been off getting our kids settled at college…including a transfer to Los Angeles. And I may have also been seduced by the lazy days of summer. After dropping our son in LA, my wife and I took some time to return to Santa Barbara where we first met. I was reminded of how uniquely beautiful that place is. It's also host to a unique collection of physical geography. And while it mostly enjoys a cool, calm environment, it can also endure bouts of destruction and renewal. A bit like all of us.Let's reflect, shall we…MIGRATIONS, MOUNTAINS, AND MEMORIESTraversing the globe dropping offspring is as old as humanity. As far as we know, early hominins like Homo erectus first stepped out of Africa two million years ago. The oldest human skeletal remains outside of Africa to date were found in Eurasia (now the country of Georgia) and are 1.8 million years old. These waves of migrations were likely driven by changes in climate, resources, societies, and technologies — the same factors driving migration today.Our oldest kin dispersed widely across Eurasia, reaching as far as Southeast Asia. Some may have even used primitive boats to navigate to and between islands. This all set the stage for later migrations of other hominins, including Homo sapiens, as they spread across globe over the next million years.I was reflecting on this on a hike my wife and I recently took in the foothills of Santa Barbara (where we had our first date 34 years ago!). The Santa Ynez Mountains were uplifted during the late Miocene (23.03 million years ago) to early Pliocene (2.58 million years ago) due to the tectonic interactions between the Pacific and North American plates. This exposed a complex layering of ancient marine and terrestrial sediments that were deposited over millions of years in a marine basin stretching from current day central valley of California to Northern Mexico.These sandstones, shale, and conglomerates are revealed along the trails, cliffs, ridges, and valleys we traversed, all formed by folding, faulting, and fanning of eroded debris. The mountains continue to be pushed upward at a rate of 1 to 4 millimeters per year due to the ongoing compression between the tectonic plates along the dynamic San Andreas Fault — the same fault that originally formed them millions of years ago.The Miocene epoch, with its warmer and more humid climate, supported dense forests of subtropical and temperate species in the Santa Ynez Mountains. As tectonic activity uplifted the region, new habitats emerged, setting the stage for diverse vegetation to develop. This period laid the groundwork for the ecosystems that would later evolve as the landscape continued to change.By the Pliocene, global cooling led to drier conditions, favoring the transition from these lush forests to the more arid-adapted plant communities found today. The chaparral, oak woodlands, and coastal sage scrub we hiked through are products of this shift. These plants adapted to the region's famous Mediterranean climate, characterized by hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters, and further shaped by the ongoing geological forces at work in the area.The resultant Santa Ynez Mountains significantly influence the weather patterns in Santa Barbara by acting as a barrier to the Pacific Ocean's marine air. Unlike much of the California coast, the Santa Barbara area faces south. During the summer, these south facing mountains trap the marine layer — a cool, moist air mass that forms over the ocean—leading to fog and low clouds along the coast. This marine layer helps keep temperatures in Santa Barbara cooler than in areas further inland, providing a mild and comfortable summer climate. Additionally, in winter, the mountains enhance orographic lift, causing moist air blown from the south to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in increased rainfall on the windward side of the range and benefiting the coastal regions. I recall one brisk winter morning in Santa Barbara in 1990 when frost appeared in the shadows on the roads and snow dusted the peaks of the Santa Ynez mountains.However, these mountains also create a rain shadow effect on their leeward side, where descending air becomes warmer and drier, leading to less precipitation. This topographical influence also contributes to the occurrence of sundowner winds—warm, dry winds that descend from the mountains into Santa Barbara. These winds can cause rapid temperature increases and lower humidity levels, sometimes creating critical fire weather conditions. My wife, then girlfriend, and I ran a 5k in 1991 that was overcome with smoke from fire stoked by these sundowner winds.BLAZE, BURST, AND BLOOMSimilar winds, Santa Ana winds, stoked a more and recent severe fire, the Thomas Fire, in 2017. These winds form east of the Sierra Nevada mountains over inland deserts and west towards the coast. Hot and dry winds channel through mountain passes and canyons, gaining speed as they descend across Southern California — and they can amplify even the smallest fire. The Thomas Fire was one of the largest wildfires in California history burning over 280,000 acres of wildlife and more than 1,000 buildings. Firefighters in Montecito, the northern-most destination, battled for days to save homes and lives.This left big chunks of the Montecito foothills charred. As crews worked to clear debris over the next month, the area was hit with a torrent of rain. While rainfall in Montecito was relatively minimal on the morning of January 9th, 2018, rainfall further up the mountain, enhanced by the mountain's orographic lift, was more severe. Residents were caught off guard as waves of water gained speed through canyons and creeks picking up charred debris and uprooting trees loosened by saturated soil.These post-fire debris flows, which included mud, rocks, and tree branches, reached heights of up to 15 feet speeding an estimated 20 miles per hour. The disaster resulted in 21 fatalities, two missing persons, and about 163 people hospitalized. Property damage exceeding $177 million, emergency response hit at least $7 million, and another $43 million was slated for cleanup and restoration.Six years later, hiking in these same hills, we saw evidence of county crews still restoring and re-shoring the foothills. We also saw evidence of plants re-emerging. Some of which are descendants of the same ancient plants that emerged in the Pliocene in the very same soil we were walking on. Hiking, and sometimes running, through the recovering foothills of Montecito, I was struck by how much this landscape mirrors a story of resilience that extends far beyond these hills and long before our time there. Over the previous two weeks my wife and I had crisscrossed the USA, east to NYC and west to LA, dropping our kids far away — modern migration with echoes of long ago, still alive still today. Like other humans that moved across vast distances, we and our kids are adapting to new environments and new stages in life. Just like the chaparral and black sage of these foothills.The plants that now re-emerge from the scorched and scarred earth are descendants of those that first appeared in the Pliocene. They use fire to propagate and regenerate in challenging terrain. Chaparral species, like black sage, evolved to thrive in this fire-prone environment. Fire-stimulated germination allows seeds to lye dormant until they're exposed to heat which triggers germination. Sprouts emerge from underground lignotubers, which are complex energy-storing structures that quickly regenerate new shoots — even amidst scorched soil. Serotiny, another adaptation, turns seed cones into popcorn like capsules that only open when exposed to fire's heat giving them a head start on invasive competition. These strategies enable chaparral plants to not only survive but to capitalize on the aftermath of wildfires and hillside scraping floods.In the charred and healing soil beneath our feet, I saw the enduring connection between past and present, nature and nurture — a reminder that our journeys, like those of the landscapes we inhabit, are shaped by the unyielding push and pull of time — of adaptation, and resilience. Just as the chaparral plants of the Santa Barbara foothills have evolved mechanisms to thrive after fire, our kids, too, will develop new strategies to adapt and flourish in their new environments. In the face of life's inevitable challenges, they will learn to not only survive but to rise stronger, just as the ancient mountains of Santa Barbara continue to do. All the while, the landscapes beneath our feet continue their unbroken cycle of destruction, renewal, and growth amidst ever evolving climates, resources, societies, and technologies.

Throughout the years, some of my favorite episodes have, funny enough, been with kids from the same high school, Valor Christian.  The man who coached these athletes is Coach Greg Coplen. After hearing so many positive things about him, I knew I needed to get him on the podcast and pick his brain.  Coach Coplen coached at Valor Christian in Highlands Ranch, CO, for 10 years and is now starting his 2nd full year at Chaparral High School in Parker, CO.  He's coached five teams in four different years, at two different schools, that finished the season in DyeStat National rankings, four of those finishing in the top 10 in the country. Throughout his tenure, he's coached state champions at nearly every event in both genders.  In his first year at Chaparral High School, he helped coach the five boys' State Champions and oversaw the emergence of the girls' cross-country team, which finished third in the state of Colorado, sixth at Nike Southwest Regionals, and 27th in the country. Before last season, the Chaparral girls had not been ranked in the top 10 in the state in over 15 years. In today's conversation, Coach Coplen takes me through how to flip around a program in one year, how to instill excellence in your athletes, how to handle setbacks and disappointment, the lessons he's learned from coaching high-level athletes like Cole Sprout & Ashley Jones, the legacy he wants to leave behind in the sport, and much more!  This conversation was absolutely fantastic. I personally have many takeaways, and I hope you'll take the time to listen to it!

The Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, or FIA, is one of the most powerful sanctioning bodies in all of motorsport — but its control has rarely included racing in the United States. Why, then, did the FIA step in to kill the Chaparral 2J, a car that raced OUTSIDE of its jurisdiction?  Today on DPTJ, we're covering the story of Jim Hall, one of motorsport's most innovative minds, and his Chaparral 2J, the car so quick that the FIA stepped in to kill it — which, by proxy, killed America's greatest racing series, the Canadian-American Challenge Cup.

La densa capa de chaparral costero alberga muchas aves que no se encuentran en ningún otro lugar del mundo, incluido el cuicacoche californiano. Las especies de plantas son diferentes, pero el chaparral de California se parece mucho a la vegetación costera de arbustos del sur de Europa, Sudáfrica, el sur de Australia y Chile. Todas estas regiones tienen lo que se conoce como clima mediterráneo: veranos calurosos y secos e inviernos moderados  y lluviosos. Nuestro chaparral es uno de los hábitats más especiales del mundo.

Empleo de alerones, dispositivos aerodinámicos tipo DRS, radiadores laterales, transmisiones asistidas, chasis monocasco de estructuras compuestas… todo o casi todo esto se utiliza en la actual F1. Y si estás pensando que fue un invento de Ferrari, Lotus o McLaren… te equivocas. Fueron innovaciones utilizadas por primera vez por una marca sino desconocida, sí insuficientemente conocida: Chaparral. ¡Ha sido un clamor! Os dije si queríais un video de Chaparral y muchos, muchísimos de vosotros, me lo habéis pedido. Honestamente pensé que un video así era solo para muy expertos, como dice mi querido amigo Luis Miguel del Cerro, “para los muy cafeteros”. Pues, aunque solo sea para vosotros, vale la pena… Además, lo confieso, estaba deseando hacerlo. Porque Chaparral no es una marca desconocida. A casi todos los aficionados, a unos más y a otros menos, les suena… pero la mayoría ignora lo que esta marca, en apenas dos décadas, fue capaz de innovar. Y, además, casi todas estas innovaciones fueros copiadas por otros. Estoy pensando que decir “copiadas” suena un poco peyorativo. Vamos a decir mejor que Chaparral creó escuela y que esa escuela tuvo muchos alumnos y seguidores. No solo suena mejor, sino que defina con más exactitud lo que sucedió. Jim Hall y James “Hap” Sharp son los funddofres de la marca. Admiro mucho a los pilotos, admiro mucho a los ingenieros, pero admiro más a aquellos pilotos que son ingenieros o a aquellos ingenieros que son pilotos. Hoy día, una especie en extinción, pero que en el pasado no fue así. Pues a este selecto club pertenecen nuestros dos protagonistas, que tuvieron una más que brillante carrera como pilotos antes de juntarse en 1962 y decidir crear su propia marca de coches de competición: Chaparral. ¿De dónde viene el nombre? Si ves el emblema de la marca lo forma un pentágono con el lado superior más largo, con el nombre de Chaparral y un ave que aquí en España, gracias a la Warner Brothers y a su serie “El Coyote y el Correcaminos” conocemos como Correcaminos. Pero en Texas a esa ave se le conoce por Chaparral. Y es famosa por su velocidad…. Aunque hay dos fundadores, realmente el alma de Chaparral fue Jim Hall. No hay que hacer de menos la aportación de James “Hap”, pero el motor y el ideólogo de Chaparral Cars Inc. fue Hall. Jim Hall comenzó a correr en los años 50 con tanto éxito como para ser considerado el sucesor de Carroll Shelby… por cierto, otro piloto y técnico a la vez. Pero en 1957 se produce un hecho que lo cambiaria todo: Para estar más cerca de su familia se traslada a Midland y allí, junto con otros pilotos, construye una pista denominada “cascabeles” … pero como siempre, en inglés suena mejor: Rattlesmake Raceway. Como pista para competición no tuvo éxito, pero Jim Hall compró las instalaciones que se convertirían en la sede de la marca Chaparral que nace en 1962 con la ayuda del citado James “Hap”. En esa época, a principios de los años 60, la potencia, sobre todo en los coches americanos, no era un problema. Los grandes motores americanos, todos o casi todo V8 de gran cilindrada, proporcionaban muchos caballos… muchos más de los que el coche, por bastidor, chasis y aerodinámica, era capaz de “gestionar”. Y esa fue la brillantez de Jim Hall y su equipo: Vamos a hacer un coche capaz de ser eficaz con muchos caballos. Y comienzan a llegar los nuevos y revolucionarios modelos. Chaparral antes de Chaparral. El Chaparral 1 es el primero… y fue “tan primero” que nació incluso antes que la propia firma. Y es que este modelo aparece en 1961 y Chaparral, como marca, nace en 1962. A este modelo 1 le corresponde el mérito de ser el primero, un coche ligero y muy evolucionado para la época, pero que apenas dejaba entrever lo que estaba por venir. Modelo 2: Único y auténtico. Se puede decir que todos los Chaparral que se construyeron, salvo algunos pocos “1”, fueron del modelo, que arranca en 1962 con 2A y termina con el 2J en 1970… El 2K aparece en 1979 y se trata de un monoplaza que nada tiene que ver con el resto de los “2”. Es el último Chaparral y en 1980 con Johnny Rutherford ganó nada menos que la Indy 500… una buena forma de despedirse.Vamos a repasar brevemente los modelos del 2A al 2J viendo que innovaciones aporto cada uno de ellos. -2A: Apéndices aerodinámicos. -2B: Un paso más. -2C: Semiautomático y con DRS. -2D: Cerrado. -2E: ¡Revolucionario! -2F: Un “E”, pero mejor. -2G: Peligroso. -2H: No todos son bonitos. -2J: Insultante. Después de la prohibición del Chaparral 2J a Jim Hall parecía que se le habían acabado las ideas… o las ganas. Pero no fue así, porque años después Chaparral volvió con un monoplaza y venció en la Indy 500 de 1980. Y se acabó. Una pena porque los Chaparral, a los que nosotros llamábamos cariñosamente “Chapas” fueron algo así como los Lotus americanos…

¿Te gustan los alerones? ¡Pues prepárate! Te hemos preparado una selección de coches con alerones muy bestias, enormes, descomunales… y muy eficaces. ¿Piensas que son una mera cuestión de marketing o de imagen? Pues está muy equivocado. 1. Chaparral 2E (1965). Jim Hall, creador de la marca Chaparral… era un genio y fue uno de los primeros en utilizar alerones en sus coches, en concreto en el 2E. Un alerón enorme y muy eficaz. Como curiosidad, con un pedal, el conductor podía moverlo para que en recta ofreciese menos resistencia al aire. Vamos, un DRS, nunca mejor dicho, “a pedal”. 2. Plymouth Superbird (1970). Un coche impresionante y adelantado a su tiempo. La “culpa” de ese alerón la tienen el ingeniero John Pointer que le dijeron que usase sus conocimientos sobre balística y aerodinámica en un coche. Dibujo un morro avión y le puso un alerón trasero de 60 centímetros de alto sobre la base de un Dodge Charger 500 de 1969. Y así nació el icónico Superbird de 1970 con su motor Hemi V8 de 425 CV. 3. Ford Sierra Cosworth (1986). Cuando en la redacción vimos las primeras fotos de este coche muchos dijeron: “No puede ser verdad”. Y lo fue. Stuart Turner definió el proyecto dentro del departamento de competición de Ford y encontró el apoyo de Walter Hayes, que había colaborado en el proyecto del Ford GT40 y era consciente de la importancia de la aerodinámica. Lo cierto es que además de ser una seña de identidad del coche, este alerón era muy eficaz. Según fuentes a 200 km/h este alerón proporcionaba entre 25 y 40 kilos de apoyo aerodinámico… que a este coche le venían muy bien. 4. Mercedes Benz 190E EVO II (1990). ¿Quién dice que los Mercedes son coches burgueses y discretos? Desde luego este EVO II no es ninguno de los dos coches. Y es que Mercedes quería ganar el DTM o Campeonato Alemán de Turismos… ¿lo conoces? Te recuerdo que hicimos un vídeo sobre este campeonato titulado: “Campeonato Alemán de Turismo: Fórmula 1 disfrazados”. No te lo pierdas. De este modelo con un pedazo de alerón impresionante solo se fabricaron 502 unidades… eran necesarias 500 para homologarlo… y ese alerón, en estas carreras, sí que era necesario. 5. Ford Escort Cosworth (1992). Este coche es más falso que el beso de Judas. Me explico: De Escort solo tenía la carrocería, el chasis era el del Ford Sierra Cosworth mejorado y aligerado. Pero lo cierto es que era un coche excepcional y de una eficacia increíble. Y en cuanto al alerón, su diseñador fue Lothar Pinske que lo puso muy alto para que fuese más eficaz. Acabó siendo un alerón biplano pero se estudió triplano… feo, feísimo. 6. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X (2007). Cualquier Mitsu Evo podría estar aquí. Todos son míticos. He elegido el último, aunque el que más me gusta es el V que fue el primero que probé y que me impresionó. Pero he creído que el honor de estar en esta lista debía ser para el EVO X Final Edition con motor 2.0 turbo de 307 CV y 413 Nm. Un coche de rallye para ir por carretera que ya no te puedes comprar… una pena. 7. Jaguar XFR-S (2013). Voy a ser sincero: Me gustan los alerones, me gusta Jaguar y me gustan las berlinas deportivas… pero para mí, a este coche, el alerón, como decía mi madre, “le sienta como a un santo dos pistolas”. Por imagen de berlina premium, porque por potencia, nada menos que 550 CV extraídos de un V8 de 5 litros, le viene bien un alerón que le pegue al suelo. En realidad, los neumáticos 295/30 sobre llanta de 20 pulgadas ayudan mucho. 8. Dodge Viper ACR (2016). He elegido este modelo, que puede circular por la calle, porque no es solo un alerón, es el paquete aerodinámico completo el que resulta espectacular. El alerón es más grande que la mesa del salón de mi casa y proporcionaba un apoyo aerodinámico excepcional. Gracias a él y a todo la aerodinámica, este coche en su momento hizo el récord del Nurburgring en 7:01:3, un tiempazo todavía hoy. 9. Honda Civic Type R (2023). La verdad es que, comparado con otros alerones y otros coches de esta lista, este Civic es casi discreto. Y eso que este Type R que he tenido ocasión de probar más de una vez es casi un coche de carreras, con un bastidor muy bien puesto a punto y un motor 2.0 VTEC de 310 CV. 10. Subaru WRX STi (2024). ¡Menos mal que nos quedan marcas como Subaru para hacer coches distintos y prestacionales! Ha habido muchos Subaru con alerones impresionantes, como todos los destinados al Mundial de Rallyes. Y me gusta que la marca sigue manteniendo una versión deportiva y un alerón que,. Además de ser impresionante y de contar con 300 CV, es un modelo muy eficaz. Y da personalidad al coche. Eso sí, si eres de los que no te gusta llamar la atención… este no es tu coche.

A long, disjointed rant about using and writing Dichotomous Keys and why it's sometimes a process of grasping for straws or throwing a bunch of stuff to a wall to see what sticks, what an ideal floral key might look like if it were written by a neurotic, rambling schmuck fixated on ecology and biogeography. Other subjects include the gradation between ecotypes and species in Fremontodendron as well as the mycorrhizal associations found with Ornithostaphylos oppositifolia (Ericaceae, Arbutoideae) in the chaparral of Baja California, Mexico.

In this episode, we welcome Dr. Megan Jennings, a Conservation Ecologist and Co-Director of San Diego State University's Institute for Ecological Monitoring and Management. As a research scientist at SDSU, Megan is based in the biology department and a co-champion for a new initiative at San Diego State, the Community Climate Action Network. In the conversation, Megan talks about the main issues facing San Diego's backcountry, and the importance of collaboration between academic science, indigenous communities, and a wide array of disciplines in addressing climate change, highlighting the need for mutual respect and knowledge sharing.   Timestamps: [2:23] When and why did SDSU create the Institute for Ecological Monitoring and Management? [4:07] What are the problems that are increasing with climate change in San Diego's backcountry? [6:54] Working with the Climate Science Alliance to create a climate-informed conservation strategy to protect and preserve Southern California's forests. [10:10] What we can learn from fire-scarred dendrochronology, the recreation of fire history. [13:52] Megan talks about learning the hard lesson of stopping new builds in high-fire-risk areas. [15:20] Getting to the ultimate goal of restoring the good fire is the goal of many indigenous partners. [17:30] The involvement of tribal nations in changing the collective attitude towards our interaction with the land and its flora and fauna. [23:40] Once the fire has passed, can we restore our way out of habitat destruction? [29:47] Chaparral and carbon dynamics. [32:13] Carbon storage and sequestration in San Diego's natural landscapes. [39:56] Where can someone go for more resources and to get involved?   About C-3   Even before the California Coastal Commission or Environmental Protection Agency existed, Citizens Coordinate for Century 3 (C-3) was the environmental conscience of San Diego. Since that time, in part due to C-3's leadership in education, advocacy, and empowerment, a plethora of organizations have developed throughout San Diego County. These organizations specifically focus on promoting progressive values in architecture, urban design, land-use governance, natural resource management, sustainable economic development, climate change resilience, and social justice. As the field of allies has grown, C-3's role has evolved to provide a platform that promotes creating civic community.   Opportunities for Advocacy and Engagement: C3sandiego.org Institute for Ecological Monitoring and Management Climate Science Alliance Megan Jennings   Quotes: “The biggest problem that our country faces is not climate change per se, but a land use change.” — Megan [4:03] “I think it all connects back to the synergistic relationship between the impacts that people and our development have in and of itself and then having climate change layered on top above all of that” — Megan [4:49] “Drought and wildfire are the two concerns I have about what we're seeing in terms of the most pressing changes.” — Megan [5:37] “We have a strong partnership in merging science and service with the community.” — Megan [6:09] “Science without direction doesn't really have a place to go.” — Megan [7:42] “There's a lot to be learned from the original stories of these landscapes that we haven't been listening to.” — Megan [18:17] “The great thing about collaborating with people from different perspectives is you can do more, you can see more things, and you can take different approaches to things.” — Megan [22:44] “I understand what it's like to need science and want to have somebody help provide it.” — Megan [35:59] “The more we have these connections, the better off we all are in trying to face the challenges that are in front of us.” — Megan [39:03]

As you all know, I find wildfire to be fascinating. It's complex, simultaneously necessary and at times devastating, and wildly misunderstood. And the landscape of fire is rapidly changing - literally and figuratively. So, I hope to continue to bring a variety of voices and perspectives on wildfire - including today.Have you ever wondered what it is like to be on the fire lines with a wildfire crew? Or what it takes to join a crew? Or the differences between crews, such as engine crews, hand crews, and hot shot crews? And how do they actually manage active wildfires? And where does prescribed and cultural burning fit into the picture? Today's guest, Amanda Monthei, helps us get some answers. Amanda is a former wildland firefighter, having participated in a variety of crews, including a hot shot crew. She is now a writer, host of the Life with Fire podcast where she interviews a wide variety of people involved with wildfire, and she's an occasional public information officer on wildfires.In addition to her podcast, you can find Amanda at lwf_pod on twitter, lifewithfirepodcast on Facebook, and lifewithfirepod on instagram.I hope you enjoy today's episode - and be sure to check out the show notes on podcast.naturesarchive.com to see the video we referenced, and links to everything we discuss, including Amanda's social media accounts!FULL SHOW NOTESLinks to Topics DiscussedLife with Fire Podcast (Amanda's Podcast)Good Fire PodcastHigh Country NewsRelated Nature's Archive PodcastsJustin Angle - On the FirelineRick Halsey - Wildfire Ecology of the Chaparral and the American WestMusic: Spellbound by Brian Holtz MusicFree download: https://filmmusic.io/song/9616-spellboundLicense (CC BY 4.0): https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseArtist website: https://brianholtzmusic.comSupport Us On Patreon!

La competición siempre ha sido un banco de pruebas donde se ensayan sistemas que luego llegan a los coches de calle. Esto es real, pero muchos confunden “competición” con “Fórmula 1”. Y hay muchos avances técnicos que nacieron en la competición, pero no en la F1. Os traemos 10, aparecidos desde 1912 a 1980… Unos funcionaron, otros no, pero todos ellos resultan curiosos. Alerones, culatas multiválvulas, frenos de disco, turbo, tracción delantera y total, evoluciones y revoluciones aerodinámicas y otros muchos avances, provienen de la competición del motor… pero no de la F1. Confieso que soy el primero que dice y pienso que la F1 es lo más de lo más en tecnología y que muchos avances que luego han llegado a nuestros coches han nacido en la F1… Y a quien piense que eso fue así en el pasado, pero no ahora, le voy a dar un dato: El Renault Captur y otros híbridos de Renault llevan 150 patentes exclusivas ensayadas en su equipo de F1. Pero…no todo es F1, hay más cosas: La resistencia, los GT e incluso, como veremos, los rallyes, nos han traído avances muchos de los cuáles han llegado a los coches de calle. He elegido 10 con la esperanza de que algunos de ellos os sorprendan, aunque otros… estaban cantados. Me he dejado unos cuantos, en la recámara, pero siempre hay opción de que hagamos más vídeos sobre el tema… 1. Peugeot L76. 16 válvulas (1912). En general he tratado de huir de los monoplazas, aunque antes de 1950 podemos hablar de monoplazas, de “Grandes Premios”, de la fórmula Grand Prix o de lo que queráis, pero hasta 1950 no nace la F1. En 1912, Peugeot crea un modelo monoplaza de Gran Premio, no de F1 obviamente, que montaba un motor revolucionario y que se adelantó decenios a otros: el L76. 2. Bugatti Type 32 “Tank”. Aerodinámica (1923). El 2 de julio de 1923 Bugatti, afamada marca que construía coches muy competitivos y a la vez muy bonitos, presenta en el G.P. de Francia el “Type 32” más conocido por “Tank”. Y no solo por sus formas, sino también porque los paneles de chapa iban “cosidos” con remaches… 3. Opel Rak II. Alerones (1928). En 1968 el genial Colin Chapman montó alerones a su Lotus 49B, consiguiendo que fuese mucho más competitivo. Una buena idea… pero no una idea nueva. Porque en el circuito de Avus, en Berlín, Opel presentó su modelo RAKII con 24 cohetes de combustible sólido y dos prominentes alerones… 4. Mónaco Trossi T34. Tracción delantera (1935). Confieso, y los más fieles seguidores lo sabréis, que tengo debilidad por este coche, una locura, fruto de la mente de Augusto Mónaco. Este monoplaza tenía muchas originalidades. A la vista, la primera que se ve, es su motor radial directamente llegado desde el mundo aeronáutico. 5. Jaguar Type C. Frenos de disco (1952). Os podría decir que todos, y si no todos el 99 por ciento de los coches actuales utilizan frenos de disco. Pero el primer coche en utilizarlos no fue un F1 sino un coche casi de calle, un Gran Turismo, el Jaguar Type C que llevó Sir Stirling Moss en la “Mille Miglia” de 1952. 6. Mercedes 300 SLR. Freno aerodinámico (1955). En este vídeo vamos a hablar mucho de aerodinámica. El Mercedes 300 SLR además de ser un cochazo, utilizo un freno aerodinámico. El coche era una joya, con un motor de 8 cilindros en línea, inyección directa, 3 litros y 300 CV. 7. Chaparral 2E. Alerón (1966). No tan conocido como Carrol Shelby o Colin Chapman, para mi Jim Hall es un genio a su altura. A mediados de los años 60 disputaba con sus coches el Campeonato Can-Am, del que por cierto también hay video titulado "Can-Am, más rápidos que los F1”. 8. Chaparral 2J. “Aspirador” (1970). ¡Y ya lo creo que lo tuvo! Por qué en 1970 utilizo dos ventiladores de 27 pulgadas provenientes de un tanque, el “M109 Hotwitzer” y les acopló un motor de moto de nieve de 45 CV. Estos ventiladores succionaban el aire del suelo y pegaban al Chaparral como se pega tu aspirador cuando lo pasas por el suelo. 9. Porsche 936 Spyder. Turbo (1976). Porsche comenzó a usar el turbo en circuitos de forma casi experimental en sus 908. Eran coches rápidos y eficaces, pero con falta de potencia. La llegada del turbo les dio alas, pero complicó la vida a los pilotos, por su grandísimo tiempo de respuesta. 10. Audi Quattro. Tracción total (1980). Y acabamos con un coche que realmente hizo historia. Y eso que estaba hecho de “retales”: Carrocería de Audi Coupé, transmisión del VW Iltis de TT y motor del Golf GTi, con un cilindro más y turbo. Coche del día. Voy a elegir el Renault Alpine A442B Turbo vencedor de las 24 Horas de Le Mans de 1978. Me declaro bastante “Porchista” y más en esa época, pero los A440 y A442 diseñados por el genial André de Cortanze, ingeniero y también piloto, me encantan.

Remember, we welcome comments, questions, and suggested topics at thewonderpodcastQs@gmail.com. S4E23 TRANSCRIPT:----more----   Mark: Welcome back to The Wonder, science based paganism. I'm your host, Mark, Yucca: And I'm Yucca. Mark: and today we are talking about individual practice with shared values in paganism. Yucca: Yes. And it, we kind of danced around coming up with this topic because we started with the idea of talking about correspondence, which is something very, very common in many different pagan traditions. And immediately, Coming to, to the place of going, well, in Atheopaganism, there isn't really a shared, there's, we don't have a book, right, that says this color means this and this direction means that. It's kind of, it's kind of up to every person and that's a, a really common theme with how we do our ritual, how we practice, how the wheel of the year looks, all of those sorts of things. And yet, We still are a community that still practices with each other and relates and shares values. So that's where we were coming from with this topic. Mark: right, right. And I mean, a lot of us are solitary. A lot of us, you know, work on our own. And as you say, you know, we really encourage people to do this kind of DIY religion thing, right? Where you create the practices that work best for you. You create a wheel of the year cycle that reflects the natural world where you are and the climate where you are, you know, you create a focus that looks like. The way you want it to and has the symbols on it that you find meaningful. You do rituals. I mean, you may use the format that I put out in my book or not, but you create rituals that are meaningful and symbolic in the matters, in the, the ways that, that are important to you. It's not like. You know, some of the mainstream religions where you the the rituals are predefined. They're in a book. They're a thing that you're supposed to do. In some cases, you're not even allowed to do them. There's a priest class that has to do them for you. It's just it's not like that at all.  So, I was thinking about what kinds of topics we could do and so sometimes I will look to more mainstream pagan which is always an ironic term. Mainstream pagan books, right? And most of those books tends to be filled with magical correspondences like this herb means this particular thing. This, this gemstone or mineral is good for this particular magical practice. This you know, these things are associated with these zodiacal signs, you know. Yucca: directions, Mark: The four directions, all of that kind of stuff. And we don't have any of that because it really is. What does it mean to you? Right? So, in my new book that's coming out, for example, I suggest some colors and symbols that you can use for Celebrations of the Wheel of the Year holidays, but they're entirely optional. And, and so I say, if the winter solstice is all about blue and white for you, then decorating blue and white, it doesn't have to be red and green. Like everybody else does do what works for you.  Yucca: Thinking about the directions because for some people the directions are really important I would imagine that if I live where you do, Mark, I might associate the West with water, but for somebody who lives in New York, they're not gonna, West is not the water, right? East is the water. Mark: That's right. If you live on the western shore of Lake Superior, then east is the water. There's no question about Yucca: Yeah. And, you know, for a lot of, if you're in Tucson, snow might not be something that you really associate with winter solstice. Mark: no probably not. Yeah. Unless you, you know, go up into the mountains to go skiing or something, but Yucca: Right. Yeah. I mean, you go into the north, northern Arizona, that's a different matter, but, you know, not down in the low desert. So, Mark: So all of this is to say that that led us into the conversation about, well, Ours is a highly individualistic practice, and that's by design, because it's not meant to be dogmatic. It's meant to be facilitative of your own spiritual experience and your own discovery journey, right? Of who you are and what, what is meaningful to you and how you relate to the world around you. Yucca: right. Mark: But that said, oh, go ahead. Yucca: but that isn't going to be informed by things. Right? The, the red and green for solstice many people have grown up around that being the color scheme, and that's what they associated with, or the particular family that you come from had associations or whatever your cultural background, regional background, right? Just because it's, Individual doesn't mean you have to remake everything. If something works for you from the background that you're coming from, great, Mark: Mm hmm. Yucca: Certain colors, certain smells, foods, all of those things, you know, we're, we're shaped by that. And that's not a bad thing, right? As long as we're conscious about that. Mark: right. You can start with a blank sheet of paper and just invent it all for yourself, but you don't have to. And most of us don't, you know, we draw things that come from our life experience of, you know, growing up with particular sorts of practices at a particular time of year, all that sort of thing. And that's all great. Right? Because it's meaningful and it resonates for us and it's, it's, it, it works for us emotionally. But then the flip side of all this is that we are in a community. It's mostly an online community, but increasingly we have people getting together in person as Yucca: Mm hmm. Mark: And so if all of our practices are super diverse and individualized, then what is it that glues us together as a community? Yucca: Right. Mark: Right? And so what we were talking about is the shared values. Yucca: Mm hmm. Mark: In atheopaganism, we have the four sacred pillars and the 13 principles. And in order to get into our online communities, you have to endorse the principles. We ask people as, as they, they enter our, as they apply to get into our Facebook group, for example. You know, this is a feminist, anti racist, anti ableist know, pro science. anti fascist space. You endorse those values. Yucca: Yeah. Mark: if we don't get an answer or if we get the wrong answer, which we never do then you don't get in because we want to share community with people that fundamentally have a respect for the individual and a respect for the earth and and a respect for critical thinking and, and science. Yucca: Right. Mark: That's what we're about. Yucca: to be clear, we're not going out into other communities and saying you've got to do it our way, but we're saying that this shared space that we've created here, these are the values that we have. And these are, this is what we expect here that that we share together. And then from there I mean, it's, it's amazing to see what people do share with each other and to see what what things people have in common and different approaches that people take. And it's just, it's lovely, Mark: And the beautiful focuses, the, the altars that they make you know, that are always so unique so specific to that person and, and what their aesthetic is and what their values are all of that. And so, to me, it's this real dance around The celebration and empowerment of the individual, as well as gathering together in community in a shared, a shared ethical and value system, Yucca: Mm hmm. Mm Mark: so that when we come together we know, hey, you know we're, we're safe with each other here, we're, we're all, we all care about the same stuff. And, you know, we're, We know we're going to be respected. We know we're going to be appreciated for what we bring. We know that there's room for us, you know, whatever, you know, our, our diverse individual nature might be. All of that is just so important. And so that, that is the, the, the knife edge that we seek to walk. Right. Right. Yucca: well, there's been a, there's a really important key in all of this and that's the communication part. And that's something that we work really hard on both the online and in person community is to, to try to explain and be Open and try to understand when people are explaining the things. I remember when at Sun Tree for the shared ritual, there was explanation, right? There wasn't any, at least there was very little, or if it was there, it was so familiar to me that I didn't notice it. That the expectations were spoken out loud. There wasn't this hidden script that everybody was following that is more common in more established religions, right? If you go to Catholic mass, nobody's telling you what to do. Everybody is doing it and has been doing it that way for hundreds of years, right? But when creating new things and working with lots of different kinds of people with different kinds of practices, communicating between each other is really key so that we, we know it, we're on the same page. We're not working with different expectations, Mark: Right. And, and the collaboration that goes into the creation of a shared ritual becomes a really important part of the process. I mean, there are times when you'll have like a ritual leader and they will either create a ritual themselves or they'll work with a subset of all the people that are going to celebrate it. If you've got a ritual of 100 people, you cannot have a collaboration of 100 Yucca: you know? Mark: to design a ritual. It would just be a big mess. But there's a consent piece where everybody agrees. Okay. You know, these, these are the folks that we have decided are going to do this thing for us. And we're going to go along with the, the practice that. they've designed for us to go through for this ritual. And of course, there's always the opt out possibility. If something comes, I mean, I can't imagine what it would be, but if there's some part of a ritual that someone is uncomfortable with, they don't have to participate. Yucca: Right. Mark: they, and they can say, I'm not comfortable. I'm, I'm stepping out. Yucca: Right. Mark: So, yeah, I mean, when I was writing my new book one of the things that I thought about a lot was this correspondences piece because, you know, the proliferation of Wicca books and, and pagan books generally, often so much of the content of those books is about This color means this thing and, you know, burn a candle of this color with this sigil on it in order to accomplish this effect. It's all very prescriptive. Yucca: A lot of the short form media that gets shared to like the Instagrams and TikToks and things like that, a lot of them are really focused on that as well, Mark: Huh. Yucca: which makes sense because it's a, it's a little bite size something, right? Like it, it kind of lends itself to that, but then that's successful and then more people do it and then more people and then that's kind of awesome. All there is. Mark: Right. So, and, and I don't want to be prescriptive in that way. I don't want to tell people, well, for one thing, because in my worldview, such associations are arbitrary, you know, we, we do ritual in order to affect ourselves psychologically. And if you see red as a color of peace and calm. Then buy gum, use red as a color of peace and calm. It's not up to me. It's up to you, Yucca: Right. Yeah. Mark: So the challenge, you know, part of the challenge in putting the book together was like, well, okay, what's the content of this book going to be? Because this is all about sort of a how to, whereas the first book was much more of a theory kind of book, Yucca: Right. Mark: more of a why and where's the science behind it and that stuff. The second book is much more about how to create rituals and examples and outlines and stuff like that. Yucca: Right. Which is, it can be really helpful, right? Especially when somebody's coming into something like ritual with no prior experience going, what, so this is great. You're all saying, do it your own way, whatever works for you, but I have no idea what works for me. Right? Sometimes people just want, give me something to, to work with and then I can modify it. But like, something, anything, Mark: Exactly. And that's why I wrote the book that I did. The, because that's what I was hearing a lot, especially from folks coming from the atheist side into the community. Yucca: Mm hmm. Mark: Because one of the things that's really great about the neopagan community is that now it has more than 50 years of cumulative. accumulation of lore and knowledge and wisdom and psychological insight into what works ritually. Yucca: Mm hmm. Mark: And there's a, there's just a huge body of accumulated knowledge there that doesn't exist in the atheist community at all. The atheist community has a big, huge accumulated body of lore around skepticism and critical thinking and being less wrong and evidentiary standards and all that kind of stuff. And all of that is very good when it comes to figuring out what's most likely to be true. It's not necessarily all that useful when impactful. Yucca: Right. Mark: So that's one reason why atheopaganism is a marriage of those things, so that you can do both of those things and do them well. Yucca: Mm hmm. Mark: And so that's, that's what the new book is, is basically intended for, is to give people some, some benefit of that. Experience that's been accumulated over all that time that I've managed to learn in my 35 years in the, in the community. Yucca: Right. Mark: So, I was thinking, maybe we could round this out with some like unusual examples of associations that we have like personal associations that might not be the ones that would be necessarily expected by people, but that we have on our own? Yucca: I'm gonna have to think about that. Do you have any off the top of your head? Mark: Well, I kind of do. The, the, the first one is, in creating my wheel of the year the February holiday, which is often in the sort of Wiccan framework associated with snow, and in some cases with little sprouts of green coming up through the snow, or all that kind of stuff. In my area, that's not what it is at all. What it is is torrential cold rain. Just a lot of rain and, you know, refilling all the agricultural ponds and getting all the creeks thundering and the river filling up and all that. So, I named the Holiday River Rain. Yucca: Mm hmm. Mark: And to me, it is the festival of water. And so I associate it with all of those kind of flowy, emotional sort of qualities psychologically, as well as with its more traditional association with infancy and new beginnings, you know, planning for the future sort of envisioning what, what can come later on through the, the harvesting process. So that, that's one that comes to mind for me immediately. Have you, have you found one? Yucca: Well, I suppose maybe the bug association I have with summer solstice. I one that I mean, there's a logic to it there for me, right? Because that's, that's when they're out. That's when all the bees are out. That's dance. That's the you know, that's when they, you see the wing dance coming out. And but I think a lot of times folks kind of, many people are very uncomfortable. With insects and arthropods and that sort of thing. So I think that gets left out of a lot of practices or views of nature. Unless it's a honeybee or a butterfly. People and a dragonfly. People like those three, right? But most other ones, they're like, oh, I don't know how I feel about that weird, like, cricket thing or that. Mark: Jerusalem crickets or tarantula hawks. Yucca: those are what I was thinking. Yeah. Tarantula hawks are our state insect actually. Mark: Huh. Yucca: beautiful, Mark: are wonderful. Yeah. Yucca: but the wasps are very different in their reproductive, their life cycle than ours. It's a little uncomfortable for people to think about sometimes. So I think maybe that might be one association. For us, Mark: Mhm. Yucca: I mean, for me, it's, it's, I'm just so, the experience of my climate is, it's, it's a very distinctive climate. It's one that I'm very in, kind of, and I only really remember that when I travel, right? When I travel and go somewhere else, I'm like, oh, right. Other people are having a totally different experience than I am here in my little, you know, desert mesa. Like, it's a very, you know, so sometimes it's kind of, it's, it's hard to think about, well, what is everybody else's association? Because I don't spend a lot of time with that, right? I don't spend a lot of time with what the, well, the directions hmm. Mark: Right. And I don't actually use directions in my practice at all. And not entirely sure why that is because certainly I'm relating to the landscape. It's just, I don't know, the directions just don't seem to do a lot for me so I don't, I don't do them but, but a lot of people do. And. I think part of it is the association with the classical Greek elements, which is a very old system, but it is a pseudoscientific system. I mean, they, they believed it at the time, but it's, it's no longer valid. We know that there are a lot more elements than that and fire is a reaction. It's not an element. Yucca: Yeah. I mean, it was a useful concept though, right? When I, I I start the, I do a chemistry class and we always start with, okay, well, let's talk about what elements are and how this, you know, this concept and where's it come from. And it's a, you know, it's a, it has some pretty good logic to Mark: Mm hmm. Yucca: Our understanding is, has definitely shifted. Over time, though, in terms of what, what are those building blocks? Mark: Right. Right. And, and all the metaphorical associations with the directions like, you know, air with intellect and communication and ideation and breath and all those things. I mean, it's a, it's a pretty nifty system it all fits together very well, you know, with, with the different You know, phases of matter Yucca: Mm hmm. Mark: other than the exotic ones, you know, Yucca: The observable states. Mark: yeah, the, there you go. The, the observable states of matter.  Yucca: When I was younger, I did do a lot more with that because I had had a lot of of interaction with reclaiming folk. And they do a lot of the, of the elements and direction work. And so that was a lot of the group rituals that I had done had been Within the context of reclaiming tradition. So, but as I changed over time, I, I really moved away from that. And I still still do a circle sometimes, but I, and we'll sometimes still turn in the different directions just as a way of, of creating the circle, but they don't have for. a really strong meaning to me because they are so different depending on where you are. Other than sunrise and sunset, right? Though, you know, the, the sun coming up in the east, but even then, the sun doesn't come up in the same direction. We say it comes up in the east, but it actually... Mark: northeast or the southeast. Yucca: wildly across my sky, right? It's not the same direction. So it's kind of that, in the same way that the seasons, you know, aren't this clear cut, like lines between the seasons, the directions for me aren't these really clear directions either. It's kind of that. that direction. Mark: Right. Right. Yucca: And the Pueblo folk here use the directions in the same way, different associations, but that was also something I grew up around, was that it's very common, that same, you know, calling in the directions and different aspects and spirits for that. Mark: I have a theory around this, which is that cultures which live in landscapes where you can see long distances. tend to focus on directions like that. If you, I mean, if you live in a jungle, then there's, it's undifferentiated. It's, it's going to be very hard to say, okay, well, this to the north is, you know, associated with X, Y, and Z, because you're surrounded by a wall of vegetation that is exactly identical in every direction you look. But I think you know, especially in the American Midwest and the arid West, you know, we have these. huge, expansive vistas. Yucca: Right. Mark: And so being able to encompass the landscape with an invocation, I think is, is really important, is really compelling. Yucca: Hmm. I can see that. Yeah. Mark: So, it's just a theory, but it seems to kind of make sense to me anyway. Yucca: I wonder too, if when you're next to very When you're on the edge of very different environments, right, being on the coast and then having, you know, your mountains inland and your coast one way, you know, that might also inspire that a little bit, that there is just something very different about these different directions. Mark: Right. Where I am near the coast, there's definitely that gigantic ocean, you know, out to the west, and then there's sort of, two buckets of, land stuff. There's Redwoods, Yucca: Mm hmm. Mark: which is, you know, the, the primordial forest, the, you know, amazing cathedral like forest. And then there's the Oak Chaparral, the Oak grasslands and Chaparral. And that was, which is just very characteristically California. Landscape. And I've never really figured out how, I mean, I guess getting away from directions and just simply naming those things would probably be a way of invoking the landscape, Yucca: hmm. Mark: and, and the local, the local land and water. Yucca: Right. Mark: yeah, I need to think about this more the more I'm talking about it as, as we're conversing, I'm having new ideas. Yucca: There's also a scale aspect too of when, when you're invoking, what are you invoking and why? Right, how intimate is it? Because thinking about that, or it's very similar where I am, is we have these very, very different spaces that are all kind of close to each other, next to each other. I go up into the Rockies with the Ponderosas, and it's very different than being down here in the I live right on these scarps, this beautiful juniper pignon, and then we go down into the, so I, I'm right at the crossroads between. These vastly different geographic regions. But I, I would only really think about invoking all of that in very specific types of rituals. Most of mine would be very much smaller, much more intimate of just being present with the tree that I'm sitting next to. Mark: Huh. Yucca: Right. Oh, I don't always feel the need to bring it. I'm not to that grandness of let's let me bring in the whole Rio Grande rift, right? Like that isn't what I'm that's not what I'm doing most of the time. Mark: I guess when I do that, it's because I'm sort of inviting. I'm inviting the landscape to witness what I'm doing Yucca: Mm Mark: a way. I'm saying hey, if I could have your attention for a moment, I'm over here doing a thing. And of course, it's all metaphorical in my mind. So I'm not actually asking for any kind of a being out there to focus its attention on me. But for my own sake, I want to feel like what I'm doing is integrated into the systems of the land and water where I live. Yucca: Mm hmm. Mark: And so I'm sort of calling attention to it and saying, Hey, I'm going to do a thing. So, check it out. And I hope this all works with whatever you've got going on. Yucca: Yeah, let's see that. Hmm. I think it might, for me, it might be something where big, bigger moments of the year, mark, when I'm marking a, you know, the change of a year, a solstice or something like that. But if it's a, I'm going to do some self care and work through a traumatic memory, you know, that might not, I might not bring that whole level in. Mark: Huh. Huh. Yucca: I might not want that witnessing, Mark: Right. Right. Yeah. I guess along those lines, and this is a way that we may be very individual from one another, there's something about the patience and the capacity for, for just absorbing whatever events have taken place that I associate with land. There's something about deep time and geology and it just lays down layers of memory. Yucca: Mm hmm. Mark: But it, it incorporates them in, into itself rather than, rather than suffering through them, if that makes any sense. I mean, I'm, it's sort of poetic, but, Yucca: Mm hmm. Mark: but when you, when you start thinking about all this stuff, you get poetic really fast. That's, you know, kind of what it's about is metaphor and, and imagery and all that. Yucca: I wish in this moment that this was video, not audio because Mark, your background right now, do you want to describe what your Zoom background is for everybody? Mark: Oh sure, it's a, it's a shot of the Grand Canyon at summertime, at at sunset. Yucca: Right? Mark: with the Alpenglow, the beautiful red Alpenglow along one scarp and the Colorado River down below on the, on the other side, down in blues and, and purples. And that's just that, that particular geological feature of the Grand Canyon is just very, very beloved to me and I've had amazing experiences there, almost died there. And I just, I go back to images of the Grand Canyon over and over again. The Southwest generally is just so beautiful. Yucca: Yeah, and you can see in that picture the layers, layer upon layer and layer, and then just the horizon beyond with it, you know, the little mesas in the background, the glow of the light. So it was just as you were talking about that, that relationship with the land, I was looking at that picture and going, Oh, just like that, just like those layers in the rock carved away over the years and years. So. Mark: Yeah. And I mean, to, to extend the metaphor when those layers are, are carved out or are brought back to light rather than being tragedies or, or crimes or transgressions, instead they're beautiful. Yucca: Right. Mark: Because if there's anything that I've learned through my own life, it's that. The suffering that I've done has helped to make me beautiful Yucca: Yeah. Indeed. Mark: and I think that's true of everyone. Yucca: Indeed. Well, Mark: Well, we've gone a long, yeah, me too. This has been a, just a delightful conversation. We've come a long way from correspondences, but that's, that's all to the good. Yucca: I think so. Yeah. And before we know it, we're going to be at our next holiday episode. Mark: Yes. Yucca: So, yep. Mark: Another one that nobody knows what the name is. Yucca: are we going to call it? Yes, that August thing. So, well, thank you so much, Mark. Mark: Oh, thank you, Yucca. It's always a pleasure.    

Pecuarista saiu de um lucro de R$800 a R$1000 por animal para amargar prejuízo de R$600 a R$700 no primeiro giro deste ano

Recorded: April 15th 2023 | On our final episode of our Arizona State spring tour and final episode of our spring tour entirely, we sit down with Taylor's high school coach and now Assistant Head Coach at ASU, Charlie Ragle. We take a deep dive into Taylor's past in high school. Ragle talks about the first time saw Taylor as an opponent, and how he eventually recruited Taylor to Chaparral. Again we get into Taylor high school transcript and how blatantly bad it was. Ragle talks about how college coaches were afraid at first because of how bad it was but then once they saw Taylor play, they eventually came around to see if they could make it work. Ragle tells this hilarious story of how he got Taylor to sign over to Chaparral as well as how Taylor was the original "Blind Side" by blocking kids onto the track. Ragle is a high energy guy and really gives Taylor his flowers in this episode. We hope you enjoyed this years spring tour and we will catch you next year. Big hug and tiny kisses. 1:54 The first time Ragle saw Taylor 2:47 How Ragle got Taylor to Chapparal 4:13 How Taylor's transcript effected his recruiting 6:17 Story of Taylor at nose tackle 7:57 Ragle giving Taylor his flowers 10:20 Story of a High School game and Taylor pulling a “blind side” 12:34 How Ragle got to ASU 13:47 What did he see in Dillingham 15:46 Ragle is the speech giverYou can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.

In episode 6 of our Lime Ridge Tour, we take an inside look at Bay Area shrublands, also known as CHAPARRAL. They may look lifeless at times, but they nurture a rich assemblage of plants and animals, including Alameda whipsnakes, hummingbirds, and blue-gray gnatcatchers.  Sponsored by Save Mount Diablo in partnership with Mount Diablo Interpretive Association.

Vamos a enfrentar a un F1 contra un Indicar… pero… ¡Cambiamos los papeles! Prepararemos un Fórmula 1 para óvalos y un Indycar para circuitos ruteros… a ver que pasa. ¡Vais a alucinar! Y ahora vamos con el vídeo, porque… ¡Me encantan estos vídeos! Las elucubraciones de este estilo me gustan mucho. Y todo surgió a raíz del vídeo sobre los F1 y los Hypercars. Muchos me preguntasteis por los Indycar, comentando que eran más rápidos que los F1. Y uno de vosotros, Andrés Cortés, me pedía un video sobre el tema… siempre los digo, ¡vuestros deseos son órdenes! Y aquí tenéis el video. Los monoplazas americanos, en los óvalos, se acercan a los 400 km/h, llegan a las 235 millas por hora, que es como lo miden ellos, unos 378 km/h… no está mal. Los F1 no llegan a tanto… pero se acercan. En el que es probablemente el circuito más rápido del Mundial, el Autódromo de Monza, los Red Bull rasparon los 360 km/h… que tampoco está mal. Y es que Monza es muy rápido… pero comparado con un óvalo americano, es una ratonera. Porque los F1, como todos sabéis, corren en circuitos, y que nadie de ofenda, “de verdad”. No digo mejores o peores, sino más auténticos, porque cuando vas en un coche lo que te encuentras son rectas más o menos largas y curvas de todo tipo… lo mismo que en un circuito de verdad. Los óvalos tienen su dificultad, no lo niego, pero el algo más “artificial”. Aunque os recuerdo que lo Indycar también corren en circuitos ruteros y urbanos… pero menos. Y en los circuitos “de verdad” los tiempos se hacen en las curvas, no en las rectas. Algunos pensaréis que en las rectas también… si claro, pero ¿Qué es lo más importante para alcanzar una alta velocidad en resta? ¿Tener caballos? ¿Tener buena aerodinámica? Pues no… eso importa, pero lo importante es entrar muy rápido. Los F1 son coches diseñados para ser rápidos girando. No me refiero solo a la aerodinámica, sin duda lo más importante, sino también al reparto de pesos, esquema de suspensiones y respuesta del motor. Analicemos un poco esto. Pero la clave de todo la tiene la aerodinámica. Desde que en 1968 a Chapman se lo ocurriese montar alerones, por cierto, copiando a Jim Hall, de Chaparral, nada volvió a ser como antes. La Indycar tiene unos reglamentos técnicos, pero también deportivos, que priman los bajos costes, por tanto, la igualdad y por ese camino, el espectáculo. Los chasis son únicos y el motor, solo uno térmico, de 2,2 litros, 6 cilindros en V y turbocompresor, ofrece hasta 700 CV. Los F1 juegan en otra división: Cada escudería tiene su chasis y el llamado “paquete aerodinámico” de su propio diseño relativamente libre. Son híbridos, como bien sabéis, y la potencia sumada del motor térmico V6 de 1,6 litros turboalimentado, más el motor eléctrico, superan los 1.000 CV. Y, además, cuentan con la ayuda en las aceleraciones que supone tener motor eléctrico, con un excelente par. ¡Y llegamos a nuestro experimento! Vamos a preparar un F1 para rodar en un oval. ¿Una locura? Pues no tanto si consideramos que desde 1950 hasta 1960, ambos inclusive, las 500 Millas de Indianápolis eran puntuables para el Mundial de F1… así que tanta locura, no es, ¡ya se ha hecho! Vamos a hacerlo virtualmente, claro. Para adaptar un F1 a un óvalo habría que trabajar en muchos sentidos, pero los más importante son estos: - Aerodinámica. ¡Fuera alerones! No, no digo quitarlos, pero si quitarle apoyo aerodinámico al coche. No olvidemos que los actuales F1 tienen un efecto suelo muy poderoso. - Suspensión. Hay que endurecerla, porque el peralte hace que la fuerza centrífuga “empuje” el coche contra el suelo. Además, muchas veces se usas reglajes asimétricos y sería necesario suavizar la respuesta de la dirección. - Trasmisión. Muy importante, hay que ponerla más “larga”. - Hibridación. No sirve de mucho en un óvalo, porque como no hay frenadas, no hay recarga… Este punto es muy importante, pues lo F1 dispondrían de sus más de 1.000 CV unas pocas vueltas… luego, se quedarían sin batería. Pese a todo se estudia la hibridación de los Indy. Con estos cambios, a una vuelta, está claro que un F1 superaría fácilmente los 400 km/h incluso se acercaría a los 450 km/h… una locura. Según LAI ni de coña… yo creo que sí. Eso sí, en tandas largas las diferencias serían mucho menores, pero siempre a favor del F1. La conclusión para mí es sencilla: ¡Cuánto me gustaría ver a los F1 corriendo en un oval! Pero no lo veremos. Los que está claro es que, por tecnología, nivel de pilotos e ingenieros y relevancia, la F1 está claramente por encima de la Indycar… En este video, con tintes USA, he elegido para Coche del Día un modelo USA que me gustó: El Cadillac Allante de 1987. Un coche que presumía de tener la cadena de producción más larga del mundo.

Next up on the ABCA Podcast is 2023 Hall of Fame inductee, Jerry Dawson. Dawson spent 37 seasons at Chaparral High School winning 773 games and 8 State Championships. Chaparral High School produced 7 big leaguers including Ike Davis, Paul Konerko and Brian Bannister. Dawson left Chaparral as the all-time winningest coach in the State of Arizona. In 2004 Dawson was honored with the ABCA/Diamond Sports National High School Coach of the Year Award. Dawson moved on to be the pitching coach at Yavapaii in 2010 and is currently the pitching coach at Scottsdale Community College. Dawson took his blueprint of developing players to Yavapaii. In Dawson’s 12 years at Yavapaii, they produced big leaguers Kenny Giles, Chance Adams and Jojo Romero. In this episode you will have an opportunity to see why Coach Dawson is still coaching at a high level. We get right into pitching development and player relationships. You will get an inside look at how important it is for coaches to develop a relationship with their players. This episode is sponsored by our friends at Rapsodo.

To activate the Valley, Arizona State needs leaders who know it well and coaches who know what it takes to establish a winning program. Charlie Ragle helped build Moon Valley High School into a state champion as an assistant before taking the reins at Chaparral and leading a powerhouse program. While there, he helped guide a young 17-year-old kid named Kenny Dillingham into coaching. Ragle would then go on to coach at two Pac-12 schools before being named Idaho State's head coach last season. But when Dillingham was named ASU's head coach, the opportunity to come back to the desert and help him rebuild the Sun Devil program was too good to pass up. On this episode, we discuss why he gave up a head coaching job to come back to the Valley, how he set Dillingham on the path to coaching, the staff's plans to activate the Valley, local recruiting strategy, and so much more.

“Desde la #FIA siempre se ha buscado lo mejor para su "categoría reina". Por eso, coincidiendo con el final del Campeonato de F1 2022 anunciamos el nuevo reglamento para la F1 2024, mucho más liberal técnicamente, pero muy exigente en cuanto a seguridad, emisiones y presupuestos. El año 2023 será un año de transición. El 2024 será el primero de una nueva era”. París, 20 de noviembre de 2022. ¿Os gusta esta nota de prensa de la FIA? Seguro que sí… ¡Ojalá fuera cierta! Ya sabéis que en este canal vuestros deseos son órdenes. Y en los comentarios sobre “F1 de 6 ruedas… o más” hablamos de cómo sería una Fórmula1 sin tanta prohibición, fuisteis muchos los que pedisteis que hiciésemos ese video de historia ficción… pues aquí lo tenéis. Pero, antes de ver cómo sería esa F1 libre que nos hemos inventado y que os adelanto que mola un montón, vamos a hacer un repaso de las cosas que se han prohibido en la F1, cuándo y por qué motivo… esto nos va a ayudar mucho para desarrollar ese nuevo reglamento 2026... 1. Alerones móviles (1968) Chaparral y Jim Hall fueron lo que se tomaron en serio esto de los alerones. Pero Colin Chapman el primero que los utilizo en la F1 en uno de sus Lotus 49 en el GP de Mónaco de 1968. Y con éxito. 2. Seis o más ruedas (1976) En 1976 Tyrrell presentó su revolucionario monoplaza de seis ruedas en el Tyrrell P34. Mucha broma al principio, pero los buenos resultados hicieron que varios equipos copiaran la idea. 3. “Fan-cars” (1978) Brabham y Gordon Murray estaba hartos de los repetidos triunfos de Lotus y sacaron el as que tenían bajo la manga: El BT46B “aspiradora”. En la siguiente carrera, el GP de Suecia de 1978, Niki Lauda arrasó con este coche. 4. Efecto suelo con faldillas (1982) Ahora se vuelve a utilizar el efecto suelo que debutó con Lotus 78 más conocido como el “coche ala”, pero las faldillas siguen prohibidas. Estas faldillas deslizantes sobre el asfalto y flexibles convertían el fondo del monoplaza un canal casi estanco. 5. Suspensiones electrónicas (1992) El Williams FW14B, diseñado por Patrick Head y Adrian Newey fue el coche más técnicamente más avanzado de su época, a principios de los 90. Su sistema de suspensión activa mantenía la altura del coche estable y mantenía una distancia al suelo perfecta. 6. Mass Damper (2006) En 2005 los coches mantenían el morro demasiado pegado al suelo, por lo que el efecto rebote del coche era acentuado. Renault busco una “vieja” solución con su Mass Damper, un muelle dentro de un cilindro con una masa, a modo de amortiguador. 7. Motor: Todos igual (2014) No ha cambiado mucho el reglamento desde la introducción de los motores híbridos en 2014. Ahora son todos V6 a 90 grados, de 1,6 litros, con turbo, y limitados a un máximo 18.000 rpm. 8. Combustible (2022) La F1 actual usa el llamado combustible E10 que es gasolina de alto octanaje con un 10% de etanol sostenible. En la actualidad el límite por G.P. es de 110 kilos. 9. Neumático: Suministrador único (2022) En 2022 los F1 usan llantas de 18 pulgadas que sustituyen a las 13 pulgadas que hacían parecer antiguos a los F1… ahora llantas de 13 no llevan ni las furgonetas. Por una parte ese alto perfil hacia de “suspensión” pero impedía poner frenos grandes de verdad. 10. El “nuevo” reglamento (2026) Llegamos a nuestra historia ficción. Nos ponemos en el lugar de la FIA y pensamos en cómo debe ser la F1 del futuro. Muy sencillo: Segura, eficiente, competida, tecnológicamente muy avanzada y que esos avances llegasen a nuestros coches de cada día. Vamos con la seguridad: La F1 ha avanzado mucho en este sentido, pero creo que lo sensato es que los F1 pudieran ser cerrados, el paso lógico y natural tras el Halo, habría que ser aún más exigentes en los crash test. Si queremos que sea eficiente, nada de gasolina “especial”, gasolina como la que tú o yo podemos comprar y un límite a 110 Kg. Que lo consigan con un V6 o un V12, con motor hibrido o normal, con un motor de 2 o de 4 tiempos, da lo mismo. Para mantener la competitividad, o sea, la igualdad, el camino es la limitación del presupuesto. Pero vamos con el meollo del tema, lo que a ti y a mí nos preocupa: Si quieres que sea tecnológicamente muy avanzada… ¡pues deja libertad a los ingenieros! Da igual ni si lleva un ventilador que lo pegue al suelo o no, o unos alerones que tengan una parte móvil o no… ¡si ya la tienen! Bastarían unas medidas máximas, un peso máximo y detallar tamaño de alerones y ruedas… ¡y ya está! Muchos diréis: ¡pero correrían demasiado! Pues aumenta el peso y los lastres o baja los kilos de gasolina… pero no coartes la libertad de los ingenieros, porque la F1 siempre fue una competición de tecnología… ¡volvamos a esa época donde había coches que nos sorprendían!

#130 - Mother's Day just passed and that day brought thoughts of my mother to the top of my mind. She was a Realtor, a very good Realtor. I thought of her as “The Blue Collar Realtor,” but more about that in a second.She loved real estate. It was her life – and her death. She literally died on the job – while showing a home. She didn't see a step down and fell and hit her head in just the wrong way and lost consciousness. I can tell you, there is no other way she'd want to go – doing what she loved – and helping the people she loved. Now, more about being “The Blue Collar Realtor.”Great Service For AllMy mother provided real estate services for a broad spectrum of people, but her favorite clients were those at the very low end of the economic ladder. She loved getting to know the people and learning their life stories and helping them to achieve their goals. Most of the people she helped lived in a small community just over the Texas state line called Chaparral, New Mexico. There were very few Realtors who served this community at the time. Chaparral was located about 45 minutes from her house – so not only was she selling low end homes, but she had to drive a long way to do so.Mother Knows BestI used to give my mother a hard time about working in Chaparral – but I admit – I was wrong. She was setting a great example of how to be a professional. Being a professional means providing expert assistance to everybody, regardless of the price range that they are in. She loved serving.Be A Blue Collar RealtorOn this Mother's Day, I want to encourage you to be like my mother. Do the right thing. Help everyone regardless of the price range they are in. Not only is it the right thing to do, but you never know what might come from it. You might get a lot of repeat and referral business. This crazy career we are in often takes many strange, unexpected turns. Working hard as a blue collar Realtor might just lead to great rewards – both for you and the people you help.Join The UnSalesperson Community!Would you like to connect with fellow unsalesy Realtors and introverts in real estate and learn how they are doing it, share ideas on creating a great business in an unsalesy manner, get inspiration and motivation?I have created the UnSalesperson Community!

What's up to my verdant vicuñas and riotous rockhoppers!  Welcome back to the BNP everyone and thank you so much for joining. Shouts to my patrons: you're the creosote in my medicinal Chaparral tea, thank you for being anti-viral and alleviating stomach cramps! You are appreciated. This week's ep is a fun one folks! We got the zany audio tidbits. We give a tip of the hat to Ostara, the Saxon Goddess of the Dawn and Patroness of the Spring Equinox. We got Terence McKenna talking about the world being made of magic. We have a meandering solo meditation on the Source of all True Motivation, techniques for discovering one's deeper purpose and the spiritual salve that is creative expression.Switching gears to more utilitarian matters, we then discuss is the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act, which was ushered in by everyone's favorite narcissist, ex-prez O-bomb-a, and which makes it perfectly legal and chill for the American intelligence and security state to propagandize directly to American citizens. I know, shocking right? Ahem.Next we take a look at the highly suspicious auto wreck that killed the investigative journalist Michael Hastings, and finally we take a trip south of the Caribbean to Venezuela, to visit the Luisa Cáceres de Arismendi Commune, which has successfully taken over trash collection and management of the general store in its hometowns of Barcelona and Puerto la Cruz, and which shows how genuine self-governance outside the purview of the state is possible.

dear livejournal, have you ever played music with other people?! silly question - i know a lot of you have. i haven’t done very much of it. but i’ve been doing it and it’s super fun. WHY DIDN’T ANYONE TELL ME ? i mean, indiana and rebs and i did a couple rock shows years ago. and i did a couple band lottery bands. and those were fun. but they didn’t last that long for whatever reason. rebs/kriz/mai/jenna and i did a couple rock band practices right before the pandemic started, so we don’t really know where that could have gone. but i like what i’m doing right now and we’re going to play a show this sunday and i’m super excited about it. i hope we all have a nice time.i think we will.DOWNLOAD RECORDINGsubscribe to the podcast here: http://feeds.feedburner.com/5432fun(intro by omar)Display Homes “Able To” E.T.APainter “i am perfectly safe” Important BodiesTOY “2” Live At Curry NightLaura Stevenson “Maker Of Things” The Mystic & the MasterMope City “Excuses Start To Thaw” News From HomeBAUS “Pop Song” Songs To Snake ToWLMRT “Stretching” WLMRT ForeverChurch fire “sunday” summer camp doom diaryBen Varian “Knife of Snow” Rey’s Fireside Christmastime Sing-AlongFrog “God Once Loved a Woman” Whatever We Probably Already Had ItEmma Parry “Brittle Brine” E.P.Nonnie Parry “Human” 7 Veils of FantasyR.
