On the afternoon of August 14th, 1915, fire ripped through Taliesin, the Spring Green, Wisconsin home of the world's most famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. When the smoke cleared seven people would be dead, murdered with an axe at the hands of Julian Carlton, a servant of Wright's. But why? The motive remains a mystery to this day. But there are so many other questions. Why does seemingly everyone know Frank Lloyd Wright but strangely, very few seem to know this much darker side of his story? In this episode we'll investigate all of that as well as the great state of Wisconsin, Wright's never-ending battle with societal norms, and the interplay between critics and creative professionals. Happy Halloween!

We are back for another great interview in our Entelechy Series with your host Kirstin Gooldy. In today's episode, we chat with https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-rundle-82653a3b/ (Adam Rundle). Adam is the Co-Founder of https://cleverprofits.com/ (Clever profits), an accounting firm that offers accounting, tax, and growth strategies to online entrepreneurs as fractional CFOs. He also is a leadership trainer, a coach, and a sportsman. Today's conversation will focus on how conscious leadership impacts our businesses and lives, and elevating leaders where everybody matters  This concept of elevating leaders came from the book Everybody Matters written by Bob Chapman & Raj Sisodia, which focuses on the extraordinary power of caring for people in your business like family what can that can do for your business.   Adam & his team attended a training facilitated by Mike Budden who runs the Chapman & Co. Leadership Institute which focused on leadership development, personal development. This experience inspired him to create a year-long mastermind for his top 10 clients around leadership.  Adam's background stems from coaching rugby in South Africa, from there, he got a chance to spend 6 weeks with the All Blacks rugby team in New Zealand where he got to experience how the most successful rugby team is people-centered,  coupled with a heavy family & culture orientation. He saw how this environment of care creates quality human beings.  A couple of insights from Adam includes: no business will truly survive without people, and that you've got to consciously learn how to be a good leader, how to care for people, lead people and give direction yet also be show empathy. Adam also talks about why and how leaders need and can create balance in their businesses.  Being able to balance conscious capitalism, conscious leadership, around caring for people and building a good culture and environment, will result in you making your profits. Additionally, you cannot work on your teams until you've worked on yourself, or are working on yourself. If you get alignment, you can then work on your teams, which you can then work on your business, and then you can move forward. A true leader must create trust, and trust is developed from consistency. consistent with just being there, being present in all you do and in all your interactions, goes a long way to building trust. Remaining  consistent in everything you do is a  pretty big building block to people, who want to trust someone  Expectations are a real thing and, miscommunicated expectations are  probably one of the biggest eroders of communication and trust and team-building  Resources mentioned in this episode:  Adam's Website: https://cleverprofits.com/ (Cleverprofits.com) Email :adam@cleverprofits.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/profitandgrowth (Clever profits group) Summary. You don't have to be at the forefront to be a leader. Being authentic to who you are and where best you can create impact is as profound as leading at the front. Leadership is multifaceted in every way. It's about people. So the moment you put the people first, put their needs first that's where you win. A journey of 1000 steps starts with one step, so start the journey. Thanks to the https://www.linkedin.com/company/onairbrands/ (On Air Brands) team for hosting such a terrific event and for bringing us together on #Podmax.

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 92% based on 88 reviews and an average rating of 7.87/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "A Bug's Life is a rousing adventure that blends animated thrills with witty dialogue and memorable characters – and another smashing early success for Pixar." Another review aggregator, Metacritic, gave the film a score of 77 out of 100 based on 23 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Todd McCarthy of Variety wrote, "Lasseter and Pixar broke new technical and aesthetic ground in the animation field with Toy Story, and here they surpass it in both scope and complexity of movement while telling a story that overlaps Antz in numerous ways." James Berardinelli of ReelViews gave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying "A Bug's Life, like Toy Story, develops protagonists we can root for, and places them in the midst of a fast-moving, energetic adventure." Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying "Will A Bug's Life suffer by coming out so soon after Antz? Not any more than one thriller hurts the chances for the next one. Antz may even help business for A Bug's Life by demonstrating how many dramatic and comedic possibilities can be found in an anthill." Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times gave the film four out of five stars, saying "What A Bug's Life demonstrates is that when it comes to bugs, the most fun ones to hang out with hang exclusively with the gang at Pixar." Peter Stack of the San Francisco Chronicle gave the film four out of four stars, saying "A Bug's Life is one of the great movies – a triumph of storytelling and character development, and a whole new ballgame for computer animation. Pixar Animation Studios has raised the genre to an astonishing new level". Richard Corliss of Time wrote, "The plot matures handsomely; the characters neatly converge and combust; the gags pay off with emotional resonance." Owen Gleiberman of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a B, saying "A Bug's Life may be the single most amazing film I've ever seen that I couldn't fall in love with." Paul Clinton of CNN wrote, "A Bug's Life is a perfect movie for the holidays. It contains a great upbeat message ... it's wonderful to look at ... it's wildly inventive ... and it's entertaining for both adults and kids." Michael Wilmington of the Chicago Tribune gave the film three and a half stars out of four, and compared the movie to "Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai (with a little of another art-film legend, Federico Fellini, tossed in)." where "As in Samurai, the colony here is plagued every year by the arrival of bandits." On the contrary, Stephen Hunter of The Washington Post wrote, "Clever as it is, the film lacks charm. One problem: too many bugs. Second, bigger world for two purposes: to feed birds and to irk humans."

Each story of the Bailey years started with a phone call from an insurance executive, calling on Johnny to investigate an unusual claim. Each story required Johnny to travel to some distant locale, usually within the United States but sometimes abroad, where he was almost always threatened with personal danger in the course of his investigations. Johnny's file on each case was usually referenced as a "matter," as in "The Silver Blue Matter" or "The Forbes Matter". Later episodes were more fanciful, with titles like "The Wayward Trout Matter" and "The Price of Fame Matter" (the latter featuring a rare guest-star appearance by Vincent Price as himself). Johnny usually stuck to business, but would sometimes engage in romantic dalliances with women he encountered in his travels; later episodes gave Johnny a steady girlfriend, Betty Lewis. Johnny's precious recreational time was usually spent fishing, and it was not uncommon for Johnny's clients to exploit this favorite pastime in convincing him to take on a job near good fishing locations. His past was rarely mentioned, but Dollar in one episode described himself as a four-year US Marine veteran who then worked as a police officer for a decade before changing careers to insurance investigation. Each story was recounted in flashback, as Johnny listed each line item from his expense account. The episodes generally finished with Johnny tallying up his account and traveling back to Hwartford, CT, where he was based.

Each story of the Bailey years started with a phone call from an insurance executive, calling on Johnny to investigate an unusual claim. Each story required Johnny to travel to some distant locale, usually within the United States but sometimes abroad, where he was almost always threatened with personal danger in the course of his investigations. Johnny's file on each case was usually referenced as a "matter," as in "The Silver Blue Matter" or "The Forbes Matter". Later episodes were more fanciful, with titles like "The Wayward Trout Matter" and "The Price of Fame Matter" (the latter featuring a rare guest-star appearance by Vincent Price as himself). Johnny usually stuck to business, but would sometimes engage in romantic dalliances with women he encountered in his travels; later episodes gave Johnny a steady girlfriend, Betty Lewis. Johnny's precious recreational time was usually spent fishing, and it was not uncommon for Johnny's clients to exploit this favorite pastime in convincing him to take on a job near good fishing locations. His past was rarely mentioned, but Dollar in one episode described himself as a four-year US Marine veteran who then worked as a police officer for a decade before changing careers to insurance investigation. Each story was recounted in flashback, as Johnny listed each line item from his expense account. The episodes generally finished with Johnny tallying up his account and traveling back to Hwartford, CT, where he was based. Most of the expense account related to transportation, lodging, and meals and served to transition between scenes, but no incidental expense was too small for Johnny to itemize, as in "Item nine, 10 cents. Aspirin. I needed them."  YOUR REVIEWS AT APPLE/ITUNES ARE NEEDED AND APPRECIATED!   Copy and Paste the highlighted links to your Apple or Android Devices for free listening:  APPLE USERS   Catch 1001 RADIO DAYS now at Apple iTunes!  https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/1001-radio-days/id1405045413?mt=2 Catch 1001 HEROES now at Apple iTunesPodcast App: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/1001-heroes-legends-histories-mysteries-podcast/id956154836?mt=2 Catch 1001 CLASSIC SHORT STORIES at iTunes/apple Podcast App Now: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/1001-classic-short-stories-tales/id1078098622?mt=2 Catch 1001 Stories for the Road at iTunes/Apple Podcast now: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/1001-stories-for-the-road/id1227478901?mt=2 ANDROID USERS- 1001 Radio Days right here at Player.fm FREE: https://player.fm/series/1001-radio-days 1001 Classic Short Stories & Tales: https://castbox.fm/channel/1001-Classic-Short-Stories-%26-Tales-id381734?country=us 1001 Heroes, Legends, Histories & Mysteries: https://castbox.fm/channel/1001-Heroes%2C-Legends%2C-Histories-%26-Mysteries-Podcast-id1114843?country=us 1001 Stories for the Road: https://castbox.fm/channel/1001-Stories-For-The-Road-id1324757?country=us Catch ALL of our shows at one place by going to www.1001storiesnetwork.com- our home website with Megaphone.

Adapted by Julie Hoverson from several stories by Saki (H.H. Munro).   Four girls waiting for punishment tell tales of pranks they've pulled. Cast List Vera - Beverly Poole Matilda - Lyndsey Thomas Helen - Julie Hoverson Nora - Chandra Wade Alice - Xandria Nirvana Barber     Shock Tactics Heasant - Megan Lane Bertie - Jasper Loovis The Boar-Pig  Stossen - Jody Montague Miss Stossen - Hillary Dixon The Storyteller Bachelor - Cole Hornaday The Open Window Nuttel - Kim Turner Aunt - Robyn Keyes Uncle - Rick Lewis Alice's stunt doubles Caira Greenfield and Draven Schoberg Music:  Kevin MacLeod (Incompetech.com) Editing and Sound:   Julie Hoverson Cover Photo:  Daniel O'Connell (courtesy of Stock Xchange.com) "What kind of a place is it? Why it's an Edwardian girls' school, can't you tell?  This way to the Headmistress' office..." http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/OpeWin.shtml ************************************************************* [transcript follows] The Saki Quartette Adapted by Julie Hoverson from several stories. I am a huge fan of H.H. Munro, who wrote under the pen name Saki in the early years of the 20th century.  His career ended prematurely when he was killed in The Great War at the age of 46. Saki is mainly remembered today for the amazing story "The Open Window," which I encourage everyone to read before listening to this episode, so I don't spoil it for you.  It's available on Project Gutenberg, you can get a reading on librivox, it's around.  It is considered to be one of the best short stories ever written in English, right up there with The Lottery by Shirley Jackson. While Saki wrote a number of supernatural, suspense, or speculative stories, his forte was relatively cruel humor - but always inflicted on those pompous enough that you didn't feel too badly for them.  And since nobody really got hurt - unless you take it from a modern "mental damage" perspective, you can laugh.  Clovis Sangrail was an ever-recurrent character who sailed through many stories leaving havoc in his wake, but Vera from The Open Window reappeared from time to time as well (later described as a "flapper") - the two of them intersecting in The Almanac. This episode is an homage to Saki, and incorporates elements from four of his short stories - Shock Tactics, The Boar-Pig, The Storyteller, and of course The Open Window - with a bit of wrap story that is entirely my own. Three of the four principal girls were from my old high school's drama department, the fourth was me.  Several of the other voices were drawn from ART (American Radio Theater).  It's not a perfect recording - we can't seem to keep the pronunciation of "aunt" straight between us (including me) - and I hadn't yet learned how to clean tracks perfectly yet, but overall it's fun and quite funny. Episodes like this were one reason I determined form the start that I wasn't going to nail myself into a "horror story" format.  The name "19 Nocturne Boulevard" is suggestive of the dark side, but open-ended enough to go anywhere I wanted to go. And as an aside, it has nothing to do with nocturne alley, is it, from Harry Potter?  Several people have commented on that, but when I created 19 Nocturne Boulevard, it was sometime around 2006, and I hadn't - I may have heard of Harry Potter, but I never actually read the books.  This was entirely on my own.  It's not a pun like Nocturne alley - nocturnally - was. I remember the summer of sitting there and thinking I want a number, and an address that sounds cool - what's a cool street? While sitting around at meetings of American Radio Theater. ******************************************************** SAKI QUARTETTE   Cast: Olivia, host Vera [open window] [15], sly Matilda [boar-pig] [14], mischievous Helen [shock tactics] [10], eager Nora [storyteller] [11], shy, rules-bound Alice [15], older girl, screams a lot [Shock Tactics] Bertie, Helen's older brother Heasant, their mother [Boar-Pig] Stossen Miss Stossen [Storyteller] Bachelor [open window] Nuttel Vera's Aunt Vera's Uncle OLIVIA    Did you have any trouble finding it?  What do you mean, what kind of a place is it?  Why, it's an Edwardian girls' school, can't you tell?  This way to the headmistress's office. MUSIC   CHEEKY MUSIC FADES INTO SOUND   CHEERFUL RUNNING CHILDREN, THEN FADES SOUND   CLOCK TICKS LOUDLY, then under [three girls sit on a bench outside the headmistress' office, waiting to be punished] SOUND   COUGHS, FIDGETS.  SMALL FOOT KICKING CHAIR. HELEN   Why send us here if we're only to wait? NORA   [startled]  Huh?  What? HELEN   Oh, Nora.  I wish I could sleep with my eyes open.  I said, 'Why--' ALICE   [superior]  To put us into the proper frame of mind.  To contemplate our misdeeds.  HELEN    That's silly - I've been thinking about anything and everything BUT my misdeeds. ALICE   That's adults for you. SOUND   FOOTSTEPS APPROACH.  MATILDA SITS. MATILDA   Well, well.  Fresh blood? ALICE   They don't look very promising. HELEN    [huff] I'll have you know I've been called on the carpet plenty of times-- MATILDA   [sweetly, cutting her off] --don't care.  Besides, I wasn't referring to that.  [aside, to Alice]  You're right, they're not much good.  I think one of 'em is a waxwork. ALICE   Oh, well-- SOUND   DOOR OPENS.  SLOW FOOTSTEPS. VERA   [heaves a deep sigh]  Your turn, Miss Tramplethorpe. ALICE   Once more into the breach. SOUND   BENCH SQUEAKS AS SHE STANDS.  SLOW FOOTSTEPS.  DOOR SHUTS. VERA   If you don't mind, I'll join you for a bit. NORA   But you should be getting back-- SOUND    FOOTSTEPS, BENCH MATILDA   Not a mannequin, then.  No one will notice, at least for a bit.  Was it truly awful, Vera? VERA   Rather.  SOUND   MUFFLED BY DOOR, SOUND OF SIX SMACKS [RULER ACROSS HAND] UNDERLIE THE TALKING. NORA   What did you do?  What did ...she do? VERA   I?  I did nothing.  I will swear it to my grave. MATILDA   It's vulgar to ask for details. HELEN   I talked back to a teacher.  I've been told.  She didn't make any mention of it at the time, but I got a note sending me here. NORA   It's all quiet now, is it ...over? MATILDA   Of course not.  There's always castigation.  HELEN   Isn't that immodest? MATILDA   [sighs impatiently] VERA   It means Miss Twicket will be talking at her for some time.  Then there may be more strokes, depending on whether she is contrite. NORA   Are you contrite? HELEN   [superior] It's vulgar to ask. VERA   [chuckles] But I'm not.  It was entirely worth it.  [to Matilda, over the smaller girls]  I'll have to get back soon, Matilda, should we have a quick go-round? MATILDA   Without Alice? SOUND   ALICE WAILS, MUFFLED BY THE DOOR. VERA   [wincing] She'll likely be a while.  MATILDA   What about the small fry? NORA   That's not very nice. HELEN    I'll have you know-- VERA   Oh, let's.  They'll never split on us - will you? NORA   But - but - but what is it you--? HELEN   [eager] I'll never tell.  I'm not a sneak. NORA   But we don't even know what-- MATILDA   Promise or you'll never know. HELEN   I promise.  I'll never reveal anything, even under torture with wild horses. NORA   Well... HELEN   If you don't promise, you're doing me out, too. NORA   [reluctant]  I don't know.  Ow!  [she's been pinched] I won't tell!!  VERA and MATILDA laugh. VERA   It's not so very awful, ducklings.  We have a bit of a club - we call it the Ducks and Geese.  We each take any chance we get to play little tricks on people, and then share the stories.  We're the ducks... HELEN   And they are the Geese?   MATILDA   Yes.  And whomever has the best story, wins.  NORA   Wins?  What? MATILDA   Vera here is quite a champion liar. VERA   [correcting]  I prefer the term "romancer." MATILDA   We always meet here, so we all have to get ourselves into scrapes from time to time, just so we can link up. HELEN   [excited, but controlling herself]  How does one join? MATILDA   You have to have a story.  Something good.  I've got a lovely one from last summer holiday. VERA   Oh, I expect I can top it. SOUND   SLAPPING AGAIN, SIX OF THE BEST.  ALICE    [off] [HOWLS in pain] HELEN   [chagrined]  Oh.  Goodness.  [beat] well, I haven't really... NORA   I would never-- MATILDA   [dry]  I'm shocked.  [to Vera]  Oh, well, we'll have to talk later.  Perhaps Alice will be out soon. HELEN   Since I didn't know to prepare, what if I have a truly lovely story, even though it wasn't me that did the joke? MATILDA   I don't think so.  Sorry. VERA   Well...  We might listen.  It will pass some time, and then we can deliberate. MATILDA   It had better be good. HELEN   I think so - My older brother has a friend-- VERA   Oh, not a friend of a friend tale - those are old enough to have beards. HELEN   --this friend is quite the card. MATILDA   An ace or a joker? HELEN   His name is Clovis Sangrail. [SILENCE FOR A MOMENT] VERA   Oh-ho!  MATILDA   Truly?  You know Clovis?  Perhaps we should make you a member just on the basis of that.  NORA   Who is Clovis Singrill? VERA   [very superior] Sangrail.  He is our own Jove - the very top of the tree when it comes to our sort of japes. MATILDA   Absolutely the lobster's dress shirt.  Though if I do say so myself, a distant cousin of mine, Reginald, is starting to make a good showing. VERA   Go on, then.  You must tell us your Clovis story.  We might decide to be kind, even if it would be nepotism of a sort. MATILDA   Clever by association.  What was your name, again, duckling? HELEN   Helen.  Well, my oldest brother Bertie was chafing terribly, since being nearly 20, he felt mother should stop reading his private correspondence. VERA   Oh, I cured mine of that long ago. HELEN   Yes, but Bertie's simply not assertive - not on his own.  SOUND   MUSIC FOR FLASHBACK SCENE HELEN   [fading] So one day, a letter arrives... MRS. HEASANT   [off, a wail, then coming on]  Ohhh!  Helen!  Oh, heavens, Helen!  Bertie is in the toils of an adventuress!  [ominously]  Her name is Clotilde! HELEN   Truly, mother?  Where?  In the rose garden? MRS. HEASANT   No!  In the post! HELEN   How did they fit in the post? MRS. HEASANT   Hssh!  Listen to this:  "Bertie, carissimo, I wonder if you will have the nerve to do it.  Don't forget the jewels.  They are a detail, but details interest me.  Yours as ever, Clotilde.  Postscript - Your mother must not know of my existence.  If questioned swear you never heard of me."  HELEN   Clotilde?  I don't know of any-- MRS. HEASANT   Well, your brother certainly does! HELEN   Perhaps he only just-- MRS. HEASANT   Oh, no!  "As Ever" she says!  As ever!  They've been carrying on under my very nose for ...who knows how long. HELEN   [narrating]  When my brother returned home, mother braced him with the incriminating Clotilde, and of course he denied it. MRS. HEASANT   How well you have learned your lesson! HELEN   He really didn't make much of it, and when she insisted he would have no dinner unless he confessed, I saw him take rather a quantity of sandwich materials up to his room with him.  Then, with the next post: NORA   [completely enthralled] Another letter? HELEN   Oh, yes.  SOUND   INSISTENT KNOCKING ON DOOR BERTIE   [muffled, speaking through door]  What is it this time? MRS. HEASANT   Miserable boy!  What have you done to Dagmar? BERTIE    [muffled]  It's Dagmar now, is it?  It will be Geraldine next. MRS. HEASANT   [in absolute hysterics]  That it should come to this, after all my efforts.  It's no use; Clotilde's letter betrays everything.  [reading] "Poor Dagmar.  Now she is done for I almost pity her.  The servants all think it was suicide.  Better not touch the jewels till after the inquest.  Clotilde."  [leaves off with a wail] SOUND   DOOR OPENS BERTIE   I don't suppose this letter betrays who this Clotilde is?  Seriously, mother, if you go on like this I shall have to go fetch a doctor; I've often enough been preached at about nothing, but I've never had an imaginary harem dragged into the discussion. SOUND   DOOR SLAMS HELEN   Mother could have used a doctor, for she was utterly purple about the face from screaming, and had to go and have a lie down - at least until the next post. SOUND   KNOCKING ON DOOR, MUCH SUBDUED MRS. HEASANT   [also much subdued] Bertie?  Bertie, darling? BERTIE   What is it this time?  Have I stolen the Mona Lisa? MRS. HEASANT   No.  You... have another letter.  From ... Mr. Sangrail.  SOUND   DOOR IS FLUNG OPEN BERTIE   [not giving an inch]  Why not go on and tell me what he has to say?  MRS. HEASENT   [clears throat, then reads, much abashed]  "Dear Bertie.  I hope I haven't distracted your brain with the spoof letters.  You told me the other day that ...somebody... at your home [ahem] tampered with your letters, so I thought I would give them something exciting to read. [slowing with embarrassment]  The... shock might do them good..." HELEN   [finishing up]  And then, Bertie threatened to get a nerve specialist in to look at mother, since she was obviously far too highly strung - and she couldn't possibly stand the scandal, she said - and they agreed he wouldn't - but only if she would stop.  Reading his mail, you see. NORA   [concerned]  But, did she? HELEN   [ominous] So far. MATILDA   We'll review your application.  Next? NORA   I?  Oh, I truly don't have anything... VERA   [warning] You'd best think of something.  We can't have outsiders hearing all our secrets. MATILDA   I'll go ahead and tell mine - it's not so exotic as to cause a panic, and it will give this little gosling time to think. VERA   I suppose so.  What do you think, Helen? HELEN   [surprised and thrilled] Me?  Oh!  [trying to sound grown up and important]  Oh.  I think we should give her one more chance.  She had no time to prepare, after all. SOUND   SMACKING AGAIN FROM WITHIN, ALICE WAILS MATILDA   Speaking of preparing - I'd best be quick, as I believe I'm next for the chop.  Very well, I was staying with my aunt in the country, and it was the day of a very important garden party - some princess was attending and everyone wanted to come.  My aunt gloated over the guest list for days.  VERA   What is it with aunts?  It's as if we all have at least one who is utterly impossible. NORA   [something is coming to her] Ah!  Aunts... MATILDA   Mine told me to be on my best behavior, and to imitate my insipid cousin, Claude, which would have been quite horrible.  HELEN   [bold, trying to sound knowing] I think everyone must have a cousin Claude or Eggbert, or ... something [falters] as... as well as an aunt... MATILDA   [sigh, eye roll] So... so, when they got on me for eating too much raspberry trifle at luncheon, they said over and over that Claude would never do a thing like that.  So when Claude went down for his nap - imagine, he's all of 11 and still goes meekly to afternoon naps like an infant. GIRLS    [SNICKER] VERA   He's the type who will end up married to someone quite overbearing. HELEN   Like an aunt? GIRLS    [SNICKER TERRIBLY] MATILDA   While he was napping, I took the opportunity to take a huge dish of raspberry trifle and force feed it to him - well, much of it got on his sailor suit and the bed, but enough went down him that they will never again be able to say he's never eaten too much raspberry trifle. VERA   Oh, that's a good one! NORA   I do have a story! MATILDA   I'm not finished - that is merely the prologue to my tale, explaining why I was sitting in the back paddock, rather than prancing about the garden party with Claude and Auntie. NORA   Oh!  I'm so-- VERA   Shh.  Pray continue, scherezade. HELEN   I thought her name was Matilda? VERA   Oh, hush. MATILDA   [taking a deep breath]  So I was sitting in a medlar tree, being stupefied with boredom, when I saw two ladies, dressed as if for the garden party, sail through the paddock in an attempt at infiltration. HELEN   Weren't they rather obvious? MATILDA   There was really no one there to see, excepting myself.  And they never once looked up as they passed by.  Well, with no ulterior motive in mind, I decided to let aunt's prize boar-pig, Tarquin Superbus, into the paddock behind them.  It had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I knew the gate they were aiming for was locked and they would be forced to come back the same way. GIRLS    [GIGGLE] SOUND   MUSIC FOR FLASHBACK MATILDA   So, when they did... SOUND   OUTDOORS AMBIANCE.  BIRDS.  SLIGHT PIG SNUFFLING IN THE BACKGROUND MRS. STOSSEN   [fading in] I stopped Mrs. Cuvering in the road yesterday and talked very pointedly about the Princess.  If she didn't choose to take the hint and send me an invitation it's not my fault, is it? SOUND   DEEP PIG NOISES MISS STOSSEN   Oh! MRS. STOSSEN   Oomph! [pulling up short, irritated] What?  Oh!  What a villainous-looking animal, it wasn't there when we came in. MISS STOSSEN   It's there now, anyhow.  I mean, what on earth are we to do? I wish we had never come. BOTH STOSSENS   Shoo!  Hish! SOUND   CLOSER, DEEP PIG NOISES MATILDA   [slightly off] If you think you'll drive him away by reciting lists of the kings of Israel and Judah, you're laying yourselves out for disappointment. MRS. STOSSEN   Oh!  Little girl!  MISS STOSSEN   Can you find someone to drive away-- MATILDA   [French] Comment? Comprends-pas. [cohm-oh? cohm-prawn pah - what? I don't understand] NOTE   MATILDA'S FRENCH IS REASONABLY SMOOTH.  MRS. STOSSEN'S IS VERY BAD. MRS. STOSSEN   Oh, are you French?  Etes vous Francaise? [et voo fran-sehz? - are you French?] MATILDA   Pas du tout.  Suis Anglaise.  [pah doo toot.  sweez ahn-glehz - not at all.  I'm English] MRS. STOSSEN   Then why not talk English?  I want to know if-- MATILDA   Permettez-moi expliquer.  [pair-meh-tay mwa eks-plee-kay - let me explain] [narrating again] And I went into a rather long description of Claude and aunt and the raspberry trifle, ending with -- [slightly off again] ...and as an additional punishment I must speak French all the afternoon.  I've had to tell you all this in English, as there were words like 'forcible feeding' that I didn't know the French for.  Mais maintenant, nous parlons francais.  [may mant-noh, new par-lon frahn-say - and now, we will speak French] MRS. STOSSEN   Oh, very well, tres bien [tray bee-ehn].  [with much difficulty] La, a l'autre cote de la porte, est...um... [la, a low-truh coat de la port, ehst... - there, on the other side of the door, is...]  [to Miss S] um, a pig? MISS STOSSEN   Oh, goodness, un grenouille? [uhn grahn-wee?] MRS. STOSSEN    No, no.  I'm reasonably certain that's a frog.  Oh, yes - un cochon. [uhn koh-shawn - a pig] MATILDA   Un cochon? Ah, le petit charmant! [uhn koh-shawn?  Ah, le pet-eet shar-mont! - a pig,oh the little sweet!] MRS. STOSSEN   Mais non, pas du tout petit, et pas du tout charmant; un bete feroce!  [may noh, pah doo too peh-teet, ay pah doo too shar-mont; un bet feh-rohs! - but no, not at all little, and not at all sweet; a beast ferocious!] MATILDA   Une bete. [Oon bet]  A pig is masculine as long as you call it a pig, but if you lose your temper with it and call it a ferocious beast it becomes one of us at once.  French is a dreadfully unsexing language. MRS. STOSSEN   For goodness' sake let us talk English then.  MISS STOSSEN   Is there any way out of this garden except through the paddock where the pig is? SOUND   OUTSIDE AMBIENCE ENDS ABRUPTLY SOUND   FOOTSTEPS IN HALLWAY GIRLS    [SHUSH THEMSELVES, PRACTICALLY STOPPING BREATHING, AS THE FOOTSTEPS GET CLOSER.] NORA   [Hiccups.  She tries to smother it, but cannot.] HELEN   [whispered] Shh.  Hold your breath! SOUND   THE FOOTSTEPS ARE RIGHT ON THEM, AND STOP. HELEN   [gasp] NORA   [Hiccups continue.  She is almost crying with the effort of trying to stop.] SOUND   FOOTSTEPS GO OFF.  AS SOON AS THEY ARE OUT OF EARSHOT-- VERA   Whew.  She's a tartar. MATILDA   Not a sympathetic bone in her body. HELEN   Why didn't she say anything? VERA   She knows we're already in for it. NORA   Well, [hiccup] you've already been in for it - was it really that [hiccup] bad? SOUND   AS IF ON CUE, SMACKING AND ALICE'S WHIMPERS FROM BEHIND THE DOOR. NORA   [gasps - her hiccups are now gone] HELEN   So what happened with your boar-pig?  Did he devour the invaders? MATILDA   Devour them?  Oh no - Tarquin Superbus prefers rotten fruit to interlopers any day.  They bribed me to lead him away.  I don't think they were best pleased about it, once they realized what a sweet disposition he has. NORA   But of course, they were in the wrong, trying to crash a party like that.  So you were merely punishing them. VERA   Right and wrong have less than nothing to do with it.  We're not the courts, or even public opinion.  A joke is a joke, even if it's on a perfectly nice person who doesn't deserve it in the least. MATILDA   Though it is much more fun, and less likely to get one into severe hot water, when the person joked on can't complain without revealing their own shortcomings. NORA   I -- VERA   Speak up gosling.  A sentence is comprised of at least two words. NORA   [whispered] I might ... have a story. MATILDA   Five!  And with a full stop.  Alright, then, pray continue. NORA   We were on a train.  It was some years back, and my aunt was exceedingly boring.  There was a gentleman in the carriage with us, and when he stooped so low as to criticize my aunt's storytelling abilities, she dared him to tell one. MUSIC   FOR FLASHBACK NORA   [sounding very young throughout flashbacks] Yes, please - tell us a story!  [narrating] Anything would have been better than my aunt's stories - you would have thought she was never a child herself. MATILDA   I say, there's an idea - perhaps aunts arrive like motorcars, fully assembled from the factory? VERA   Shh.  Give ear to the duckling. NORA   [pause] Oh, me?  Yes.  Well, the story-- SOUND   MUSIC FOR FLASHBACK.  TRAIN LOOP BEHIND BACHELOR BACHELOR    Very well.  Once upon a time, there was a little girl called Bertha, who was extraordinarily good.  She did all that she was told, she was always truthful, she kept her clothes clean, learned her lessons perfectly, and was polite in her manners.  She was ...horribly good. VERA   [slightly off] Can one be horribly good?  Truly? MATILDA   [slightly off] Claude.  Definitely. VERA   [agreeing] Mm. BACHELOR   She was so good, that she won several medals for goodness, which she always wore, pinned on to her dress.  They were large metal medals and they clinked against one another as she walked.  No other child in the town where she lived had as many as three medals, so everybody knew that she must be an extra good child. NORA   [young, gleeful] Horribly good. BACHELOR   The Prince got to hear about Bertha, and said that as she was so very good she might walk in his park.  NORA   [young] Were there any sheep in his park? BACHELOR   No.  There were no sheep. NORA   [young] Why weren't there any sheep? BACHELOR   Because the Prince's mother had once had a dream that her son would either be killed by a sheep or else by a clock falling on him. The Prince never kept a sheep in his park or a clock in his palace. VERA   Oh, very good.  MATILDA   Was this fellow passenger by any chance a long, lithe, languid type with a somewhat nasal voice? NORA   No, why? VERA   She was wondering whether you've encountered Clovis as well.  Roll along. NORA   Oh, so, um, he said the park was full of little black, gray, and white pigs, and -- BACHELOR   --Bertha was rather sorry to find that there were no flowers in the park. She had promised her aunts, with tears in her eyes, that she would not pick any of the kind Prince's flowers, and she had meant to keep her promise, so of course it made her feel silly to find that there were no flowers to pick. NORA    [young] Why weren't there any flowers? BACHELOR   Because the pigs had eaten them all. VERA   [to Matilda] You know, I'm becoming quite convinced you're right, though the story hardly sounds vicious enough for Clovis. NORA   Oh, I just haven't gotten to the-- um... VERA   To the "um..."?  Very well. NORA   Bertha was just thinking-- BACHELOR   [falsetto] --'If I were not so extraordinarily good I should not have been allowed to come into this beautiful park,' and her medals clinked against one another to remind her how very good she was.  Just then an enormous wolf came prowling into the park to see if it could catch a fat little pig for its supper.  The first thing that it saw in the park was Bertha; her pinafore was so spotlessly white and clean that it could be seen from a great distance. MATILDA   I have never heard a better argument against cleanliness.  I shall go out and get myself despicably filthy forthwith. HELEN   After your visit inside. MATILDA   [annoyed] THANK you.  I had actually managed to forget that for a bit. NORA   [quickly jumps in]  Bertha saw the wolf and she began to wish that she had never been allowed to come into the park... BACHELOR   ...She ran as hard as she could, and the wolf came after her with huge leaps and bounds.  She managed to reach a shrubbery of myrtle bushes and hid herself.  The wolf came sniffing among the branches, its pale grey eyes glaring with rage.  Bertha was terribly frightened, and thought to herself: [falsetto]  'If I had not been so extraordinarily good I should have been safe in the town at this moment.'  However, the scent of the myrtle was so strong that the wolf could not sniff out where Bertha was, so he thought he might as well go off and catch a little pig instead.   VERA   Definitely not Clovis. NORA   [cross, almost yelling]  LET ME FINISH! MATILDA   Hmph!  Well, proceed. NORA   Bertha trembled and the medal for obedience clinked against the medals for good conduct and punctuality.   BACHELOR   The wolf heard the sound of the medals clinking and dashed into the bush, dragged Bertha out, and devoured her to the last morsel.  All that was left were her shoes, bits of clothing, and three medals for goodness. HELEN   Were any of the little pigs killed? MATILDA and VERA laugh somewhat scornfully NORA   Funny, that's just what my brother asked.  No.  They all got away.  We all agreed it was the most beautiful story we'd ever heard - well, except for aunt, who seemed to find it highly improper. MATILDA   We shall have to write to Clovis and find out if he's been engaged in the railway storytelling circuit. VERA   [chuckles]  NORA   This was some years ago, when I was quite young. VERA and MATILDA chuckle again.  HELEN joins in, but a bit too loudly. VERA   I fear, my darlings, that I shall still take the palm today, for I had occasion recently for the most stupendous jape of all...  [PAUSE] HELEN   Well? VERA   I am composing myself. NORA   [gasps] MATILDA   Oh, not again. NORA   [hastily reassuring] No, no. VERA   I am ready.  I must be careful and include all the vitally important details, for this was more than a mere trick on an aunt... SOUND   MUSIC FOR FLASHBACK VERA   [narrating] There was a tedious little man visiting our neighborhood for some sort of rest cure.  [to Nuttel]  Do you know many of the people round here? NUTTEL   Hardly a soul.  My sister stayed nearby some four years ago, and she gave me letters of introduction to some of the people here. VERA   [calculating]  Then you know practically nothing about my aunt? HELEN   More aunts? MATILDA   Aunts are universal.  Now Shh. NUTTEL    Only your aunt and uncle's names and the address. VERA   Uncle.  Oh I see.  [confidential] Aunt's great tragedy happened just three years ago.  That would be since your sister's time. NUTTEL   T-Tragedy? VERA   You may wonder why we keep that French window wide open on an October afternoon. NUTTEL   It is quite warm for the time of the year, but ... tragedy? VERA   [ominous] Out through that window, three years ago to a day, Aunt's husband and brothers went off shooting... and never came back.  In crossing the moor, they were engulfed in a treacherous piece of bog.  Their bodies were never recovered. [voice breaks]  That was the dreadful part of it.  Poor aunt thinks that they will come back some day, with uncle's little brown spaniel, and walk in that window just as they used to do.  [almost a whisper]  Do you know, sometimes on still, quiet evenings like this, I almost get a creepy feeling that they will all walk in through that window-- [shudder] NUTTEL   Uh, yes... SOUND   DOOR, SWIFT FOOTSTEPS AUNT   I hope Vera has been amusing you? NUTTEL   [spooked] She has been very... interesting. AUNT   I hope you don't mind the open window.  My husband and brothers will be home directly, and they always come in this way. NUTTEL   Um, yes.  [changing the subject]  Um, yes - [awkward pause] the doctors agree in ordering me complete rest and an absence of mental excitement.  On the subject of diet, they are less in agreement. AUNT   [bored]  Ah?  NUTTEL   Some opine that toast with marmalade is better for digestion, while other lean more towards toast without. AUNT   [yawns] NUTTEL   Still other physicians insist on no toast at all.  On the subject of eggs... AUNT   [brightening]  Aha! Here they are at last!  Just in time for tea! VERA   [narrating] I put on my best look of wide-eyed fear and stared - I always think of cats when I do that. NUTTEL   [confused] What?  [panicked] Ahhh! SOUND   RUNNING FEET, DOOR OPENS, SLAMS CLOSED. NOTE   MILK THIS MOMENT FOR SUSPENSE SOUND   OMINOUSLY SLOW, SQUISHY FOOTSTEPS APPROACH.  DOG YIPS MOURNFULLY, then UNCLE   Here we are, my dear.  Who was that who bolted out as we came up? AUNT   A most extraordinary man, a Mr. Nuttel.  Could only talk about his illnesses, and dashed off without a word of good-bye or apology when you arrived.  One would think he had seen a ghost. VERA   I expect it was the spaniel.  [the awful truth]  He told me he had a horror of dogs.  He was once hunted into a cemetery somewhere on the banks of the Ganges by a pack of pariah dogs, and had to spend the night in a newly dug grave with the creatures snarling and grinning and foaming just above him.  Enough to make anyone lose their nerve. MATILDA   Oh, bravo - two for the price of one! NORA   How could he be afraid of a Spaniel?  They're so-- HELEN   Silly!  She was romancing! NORA   Oh.  [thinks]  Oh!  MATILDA   And her uncle wasn't dead either. NORA   Well, I - I think I realized that. SOUND   ALICE SCREAMING FROM BEHIND THE DOOR - HORRIBLE AGONY HELEN   What?  NORA   Eek! VERA   [slightly shaken] That sounds dreadful! MATILDA   [very shaken] And I'm next! SOUND   ALICE SCREAMING TAPERS OFF TO A GURGLE MATILDA   Poor Alice! HELEN   Maybe the headmistress will wear herself out before she gets to us -- VERA   [calculating, then dry]  Perhaps, but then, she'll just summon a few prefects to help. HELEN   Really?  But - but what could she be doing? VERA   [knowing] Let's see, shall we? SOUND   SLIGHT CREAKS AS SHE TIPTOES TO DOOR VERA   Shh. [pause] ALICE    [Screams, muffled] SOUND   DOOR SWINGS OPEN ALICE   AAH! [notices door] Ahh? SOUND   SCRAMBLING FEET, THEY ALL COME TO LOOK NORA   Where's the headmistress? MATILDA   Oh, jolly good one, Alice.  You gave me such a turn. SOUND   SLOW SERIES OF HAND CLAPS ALICE    Yes, yes.  No autographs, please.  Screaming does dry out my throat. HELEN   It was just you...? MATILDA   I believe, this time, that Alice takes the laurel.  VERA   Oh, I don't think so. MATILDA   Whyever not? VERA   [grinning like a fiend]  Who do you think sent round the sham detention notices to bring us all here? SOUND   A MOMENT, THEN GENERAL APPLAUSE NORA   [confused] Oh? [getting it] Oh! MUSIC OLIVIA   Now that you know how to find us, don't be a stranger - we have enough of those already...

In this special episode, we are shining some light on color. Brought to you by Ultrafabrics, this presentation was recorded in May 2021 as part of CLOSEUP, a liive & virtual 2-day design showcase event presented by WantedDesign Manhattan and ICFF. We dive into color - its power to influence our perception, our mood, even our consciousness with several experts. We hear from Kimberle Frost, a color specialist for Ultrafabrics; Larah Moravek, founder and design director of Dutch East Design; Malene Barnett, artist and founder of the Black Designers + Artists Guild; Anna Murray, designer and co-founder of Patternity; and Patrick O'Donnell, international brand ambassador for Farrow & Ball. The conversation touches on how the pandemic has influenced our appetite for color, how to be more creative with color and how we can break some of the “rules” around color and explore new inspiring ways to bring color into our everyday life.

#027:  How many civilizations have collapsed due to extractive agricultural practices and soil degradation and how close is ours to reaching the same fate? Author and geologist David Montgomery talks us through the ultimate costs of taking our soils for granted and the difficulty of reversing course with modern technology. Author and geologist David Montgomery is a professor of Earth and Space Sciences at the University of Washington. He has written the books Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations and Growing a Revolution: Bringing Our Soil Back to Life, and along with his partner, Anne Biklé, he co-authored the book The Hidden Half of Nature and is currently working on You Are What Your Food Ate. David and Anne also run the website Dig2Grow and are both members of the Real Organic Project Advisory Board.To watch a video version of this podcast please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/david-montgomery-clever-modern-technology-vs-ancient-soil-wisdom-episode-twenty-sevenThe Real Organic Podcast is hosted by Dave Chapman and Linley Dixon, engineered by Brandon StCyr, and edited and produced by Jenny Prince.The Real Organic Project is a farmer-led movement working towards certifying 1,000 farms across the United States this year. Our add-on food label distinguishes soil-grown fruits and vegetables from hydroponically-raised produce. It also identifies pasture-raised meat, milk, and eggs as compared to products harvested from animals in horrific confinement (CAFOs - confined animal feeding operations).To find a Real Organic farm near you, please visit:https://www.realorganicproject.org/farmsWe believe that the organic standards, with their focus on soil health, biodiversity, and animal welfare were written as they should be. But the current lack of enforcement of those standards is jeopardizing small farms that follow the law. The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but are still paying a premium price. The lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Fans!https://www.realorganicproject.org/1000-real-fans/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

The Clever Rascal: The Unjust Steward5/5/64Neville Goddard  Tonight's subject is “The Clever Rascal.” This is taken from the 16th chapter of the Book of Luke. There's a story told there of an unjust steward. There's a very rich man who had a steward and charges were brought against the steward that he was wasting his man's goods. So he called the steward and told him to turn in his stewardship, for he could no longer represent him. The steward went out and got all of the debtors and asked each in turn what they owed his master. “The first one said, ‘One hundred measures of oil.' He said, ‘Sit down and write, quickly, fifty measure of oil.' Then he said to the second, ‘How much do you owe my master?' He said, ‘One hundred measures of wheat.' ‘You sit down and you write eighty.'” And so, he falsified the entire record of his master, making friends for himself. For he felt, I am too weak to work and too proud to beg, and so by doing this I'll make these friends of mine, so when I'm fired from my job they will know that they are in my debt. For I gave this one fifty percent of what he really owed, and that one twenty percent of what he owed; and so at least to this extent they are indebted to me. When his master heard what he had done, the master highly commended him for his prudence. Then he said to those to whom he told the story, ‘Make for yourself friends of the unrighteous mammon. For if you are not faithful to that unrighteous mammon, who will trust you when it comes to the real riches of the world?'” Now, a parable has a central jet of truth and the outer story is secondary to its meaning, what it really tries to convey. He is not recommending the man who stole his master's goods or falsified the master's records; it's a story. What is its meaning? That's the important thing. And what are the real riches against the so-called riches of the unrighteous mammon? Well, the Encyclopedia Britannica defines for us the word righteous as “equitable, just, right thinking,” therefore “unrighteous” would be the opposite. It would not be just, it would be unjust. It would not be right thinking, just the opposite of right thinking. Now, what is right thinking? If today I reflect on the activities of the day and I have a hundred percent recall, I would have a perfect record of what happened today. If I had a perfect recall, that when we had dinner, for instance, I should not only know what I ate but the order in which I ate it, the chronological order. Did I take this piece before that? Did I take a sip of coffee with the meal or after the meal? Everything in the day—the mail as I received it, as I opened it, not only as I opened it, my reactions to the mail—everything should be perfectly recalled if my memory is perfect and I have a hundred percent recall. So memory is the conservative aspect of imagining. So I recall the day; that is right thinking, that's righteous mammon. But I don't like what happened today, and I'm invited to emulate the unjust steward and simply recall the day and simply revise every little aspect of the day that does not conform to the day as I wish I had encountered. Alternate Universe Reality Activation  get full access to new meditations, new lectures, recordings from the reality con and the 90 day AURA meditation schedulehttps://realityrevolutionlive.com/aura45338118 BUY A COPY OF MY BOOKhttps://www.amazon.com/Reality-Revolution-Mind-Blowing-Movement-Hack/dp/154450618X/ Listen my book on audible https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Reality-Revolution-Audiobook/B087LV1R5V Music By Mettaverseinner worlds  ➤ Listen on Soundcloud: http://bit.ly/2KjGlLI➤ Follow them on Instagram: http://bit.ly/2JW8BU2➤ Subscribe to their channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyvjffON2NoUvX5q_TgvVkw  All My Neville Goddard Videos In One Playlist - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKv1KCSKwOo8kBZsJpp3xvkRwhbXuhg0M For all episodes of the Reality Revolution – https://www.therealityrevolution.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/The-Reality-Revolution-Podcast-Hosted-By-Brian-Scott-102555575116999 Join our facebook group The Reality Revolution https://www.facebook.com/groups/523814491927119  Subscribe to my Youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOgXHr5S3oF0qetPfqxJfSw #nevillegoddard #audiobooks #imagination #newthought #lawofattraction #totalhumanoptimization

Michael Ford is the designer and activist known as The Hip Hop Architect. Born in Highland Park, Michigan the son of a minister, Michael was raised to be inquisitive and question the world around him to find deeper truth. Early on, he found his passion for design and music, expanding it into a practice of architecture and design through the lens of Hip Hop culture. This led to his founding of The Hip Hop Architecture Camp®, a camp that positions Hip Hop Culture as a catalyst to introduce architecture and design to underrepresented youth. He's also working with some of Hip Hop's greatest names as he leads the design of The Universal Hip Hop Museum in The Bronx. Images, links and more from Michael Ford!Please say Hi on social!
