Yesterday a storm front blew in and passed over head. In front of it the warm summer air and behind it the cooler air of autumn. I didn't realise until it had passed but the difference was clear and defining. Today the wind is feisty, autumnal, and its effects on the trees dominates the sonic space. Imagine being a tree, or a nomad, constantly at the mercy of the elements. No wonder the leaves are browning, yellowing, reddening, having endured months of intense sunlight, rain, wind, with no respite. Those fragile paper thin structures, so hardy. I have come on a Friday to avoid the hordes, families, paddleboarders, dog owners, smokers, and sometimes that's just one person, screaming, splashing, smiling, relaxing. Living. But that's not for me. I prefer the quiet solitude of off-peak. I usually prefer off-piste too, but this project is otherwise, out of my comfort zone and into the spotlight, but doing what I enjoy most. Pond skaters, ducks, the weir letting the Stour trickle through, holding it back, keeping it slow and steady, like the rental revenue on those flats in the Mill building. It is a different mill to in Constable's time, but still. It stands as a monument to industry, labour, the effort of those generations making their daily bread, surviving, working for the man. It is strange that in just one spot, place, so many decisions, influences, powers, monies, have come to gather to make a once navigable river to transport goods, from Mistley, where seagoing vessels were unloaded on to Lighters (barges) as far inland as the ‘port' of Sudnury. And then to transport different goods in the reverse direction. Just a few decades later and it was superseded by the railways. A man on a strange paddle board/seagoing kayak/super yacht hybrid, lots of berries on the trees in readiness for winter, some harsh pruning. He notices me, and the kit, and studies us for a while before paddling off. I have swam in this mill pond several times but the water quality is too bad now, my trunks staying put in their new drawer for a good few months yet. ‘Danger: Deep Water'. I hope someone is in deep water and that CEO's the land over are carrying the can for the unacceptable state of the Countries waterways. A woman in a puffer jacket taking a photograph across the pond, a damsel fly, which is one of the 22 species on this river, I am unable to tell which, a woman jogging, fish making swirls on the waters surface, a dark cloud covering the sun and turning off the heat. One day this place will not be here, and all of the memories of it will be gone. A sock in a tree, a bus heading to Dedham, a motorbike, those with the loudest mouths, exhausts, will be remembered, a man looking at the mic as he goes by, two people all dressed in blue with binoculars, the fish trying to catch flies just above the waters surface, a couple that I have seen four times walking their dog but the man walks ahead followed by the dog pulling the woman reluctantly along, a strimmer or maybe a hedge trimmer.

It's brutal, but Tom Phillips brought this whole thing on himself. Yes, he was killed and that is a very hard and sad fact his kids are going to have to live with for their rest of their lives. Their father is dead. But, he shot a cop - an innocent local Constable who was trying to do his job. Tom Phillips also deprived his children of their mum, of any professional medical attention, of any formal education, for four years. Ember was five when they were taken to the bush and hasn't been to school since - she is now 9. The kids were essentially used as helpers as their dad carried out bank robberies, burglaries, and break-ins. These are not the actions of a father who wants the best for his kids. Any parent who loves their children knows you don't put them in harm's way. Much will be made of the custody situation in the coming days, but the fact is we don't know much detail about this. and likely never will. The full story won't come out. When he went bush the second time, Tom was in breach of a custody order. But that's about all we know because Family Court cases are wrapped up in suppression like Fort Knox in this country to protect the kids. Fair enough too. But whatever happened in court, before court, no matter how unfair or unjust a case may be, if you take the law into your own hands, run away with your own kids, deprive them of an education and contact with society for four years, then the outcomes are yours to own. And yours alone. The outcomes here are bittersweet. A father is dead. A police Constable is in hospital lucky to be alive. And three children have survived, at least physically, a dangerous situation they should never have been out in in the first place.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Grandson of Mary Boleyn. Cousin to Elizabeth I. Patron to Shakespeare's company. On 8 September 1603, George Carey, 2nd Baron Hunsdon, died, leaving a legacy that runs from court politics to the playhouse. Some even whispered he was Henry VIII's grandson. Rumour or not, Carey stood right behind the stage that gave us Hamlet, Henry V and more. I'm historian and author Claire Ridgway. In today's “On This Day,” meet the steady court insider who helped shape the English Renaissance, from border forts and the Isle of Wight to the Lord Chamberlain's Men.

Pentagon's Evolving Mission and Global Order Colonel Jeff McCausland discusses the new national military strategy emphasizing homeland defense as the primary mission for the Department of Defense, shifting from an international "cop on the beat" role to a domestic one. This is reflected in increased border forces and Caribbean operations. McCausland also touches on China's ambition to establish a new global order, returning to its perceived historical position as a superpower, utilizing organizations like BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.930-945 John Batchelor 09-03 segment 3.mp3 Guest: John Cochrane at the Hoover Institution.

Cochrane also discusses the risks of the Fed monetizing debt, its stance on stablecoins, and how its actions influence fiscal policy. 945-1000 John Batchelor 09-03 segment 4.mp3 Guest: John Cochrane of the Hoover Institution. Reforming the Federal Reserve's Role John Cochrane addresses proposals to reorganize the Federal Reserve, questioning whether it should become more political or have its scope narrowed to monetary policy, his preferred option. He criticizes the Fed'spandemic response, specifically its decision to print trillions of dollars for deficits, which he argues was a choice leading to the 2022 inflation.

China's Historical Revisionism and Autocratic Alliances Gordon Chang and General Blaine Holtdiscuss China's military parade, led by Xi Jinping, which falsely claims Chinese victory over Japan in WWII, omitting the US and Allied contributions. Holt views the parade as theater for a crumbling Belt and Road Initiative, not a united front. They note India's absence from the parade due to animosity with China. Despite appearances, Putin and Kim Jong-un also have underlying animosity towards Xi Jinping, making their alliance one of expediency, not unity.1015-1030 John Batchelor 09-03 segment 6.mp3 Guests: Gordon Chang and Peter Huessy, President of Geostrategic Analysis, a fellow at the National Institute for Deterrent Studies.

Welcome back to another episode of The Temple of Surf Podcast, where we celebrate the legends, innovators, and unsung heroes of surfing , the people shaping the past, present, and future of our beloved culture. Today's episode takes us to the heart of surfboard craftsmanship and performance design, as we sit down with two incredibly talented Australians: Josh and Anna Constable, the dynamic duo behind Creative Army Surfboards. For many in the surf world, the name Josh Constable is synonymous with excellence. A multiple Australian champion, longboard maestro, and the 2006 ASP World Longboard Champion, Josh has spent decades refining his style and pushing the limits of performance on the water. But his story doesn't stop at competition results, it evolves into shaping boards that carry his signature understanding of speed, glide, and flow. In 2013, he channeled that deep well of knowledge into Creative Army, a surfboard brand that blends classic design principles with modern performance, delivering boards that are as beautiful to look at as they are to ride. By his side, both in life and in the lineup, is Anna Constable a champion in her own right. Anna's passion for surfing began early, and she carved her own path in the sport with a focus on style, grace, and athleticism. Known for her competitive spirit and fluid wave riding, she also holds an impressive title: **world champion in acrobatic surfing. Together, Josh and Anna have built not only a brand, but a shared vision, one that celebrates craftsmanship, quality, and the joy of riding waves. Creative Army boards have earned a loyal following around the globe for their balance of performance and aesthetic beauty. Whether it's a refined longboard for trimming effortlessly down the line, a mid-length for versatility, or a shortboard tuned for speed and responsiveness, each design carries the DNA of decades spent studying waves and equipment. For Josh, the shaping bay is a creative playground, where ideas are tested, refined, and brought to life, always with the goal of giving surfers the perfect craft for their style and conditions. In this conversation, we'll explore their journey, from the competitive stage to the shaping room, from personal victories to the challenges of building a surf brand in today's global market. We'll talk about what inspires their designs, the subtle details that can make or break a board's performance, and how they see the future of surfboard shaping evolving. We'll also touch on the balance between heritage and innovation, and why surfing, at its core, is about more than results or product, it's about connection, passion, and community. So, whether you're a board aficionado, a weekend wave rider, or someone who simply loves a great story about dedication and creativity, you're going to enjoy this one. Here's my conversation with Josh and Anna Constable of Creative Army Surfboards. #CreativeArmySurfboards #JoshConstable #AnnaConstable #SurfboardShaping #Surfboards #Longboarding #LongboardSurfing #SurfPodcast #TheTempleOfSurf #SurfCulture #SurfLife #SurfboardDesign #AustralianSurfing #SurfingAustralia #SurfCraftsmanship #SurfShaper #SurfboardMaker #SurfInterview #SurfingLegends #SurfboardArt

Meditation Leads to Reduced Default Mode Network Activity Beyond an Active TaskIn this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer and Dr. Kathleen Garrison explore how meditation alters brain activity, specifically within the default mode network (DMN), a system associated with self-referential thinking and mind-wandering. This study uniquely compares meditation not just to resting states but also to an active cognitive task, demonstrating that experienced meditators exhibit significantly reduced DMN activity. Findings suggest that long-term meditation practice can quiet habitual self-referential thought patterns and improve attentional control. Tune in to discover how meditation reshapes the brain beyond relaxation, fostering present-moment awareness and mental clarity.Full Reference:Garrison, K. A., Zeffiro, T.

Back in the safe house, The Constable seems to be missing but we don't have time to go on a wild goose chase. We've got a puzzle to solve that might lead to Laughing Jack and Jeremy is supposed to be helpful in solving this puzzle.
Book Vs. Movie: See How They RunThe 1947 Agatha Christie Play (Three Blind Mice) Vs the 2022 Sam Rockwell FilmAgatha Christie's radio play Three Blind Mice was introduced in 1947 and was the basis for 1952's The Mousetrap, the longest-running play in theater history. See How They Run (2022) is a clever, stylish murder mystery set in 1950s London. It blends classic whodunit tropes with a witty, self-referential twist. Directed by Tom George, the film follows world-weary Inspector Stoppard (Sam Rockwell) and eager rookie Constable Stalker (Saoirse Ronan) as they investigate the backstage murder of a Hollywood director who was set to adapt Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap for the screen. Between the original play and the film, did we prefer one over the other?

BOLD Signal and Functional Connectivity Associated with Loving-Kindness MeditationIn this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer and his team explore the neuroscience behind loving-kindness meditation (Metta) and its impact on brain function. Using fMRI, this study compared experienced meditators and novices, uncovering key differences in brain activity and connectivity during the practice. The findings reveal that meditators exhibit reduced activity in the posterior cingulate cortex—a region linked to self-referential thinking and mind-wandering—suggesting a more present-centered and selfless focus. Additionally, meditators showed distinct patterns of functional connectivity, emphasizing a shift in emotional processing, inner speech, and memory networks. Tune in to learn how loving-kindness meditation transforms the brain and fosters compassion.Full Reference:Garrison, K. A., Scheinost, D., Constable, R. T., & Brewer, J. A. (2014).

Episode 366: On a cold night, March 14, 1980, the city of Toronto was shaken by an act of violence that would leave a deep scar on its police force and forever change the lives of one family. It was the kind of crime that, decades later, still echoes in the halls of justice and the memories of those who lived through it. This is the story of Constable Michael Sweet, a dedicated police officer, loving husband, and devoted father of three young girls, all under ten years old, who lost his life in the line of duty at the hands of two brothers whose names would become synonymous with brutality: Craig Alfred Munro, 28, and his 21-year-old brother, James Scott Munro.

Real-Time fMRI Links Subjective Experience with Brain Activity During Focused AttentionIn this episode, Dr. Jud Brewer explores groundbreaking research on real-time fMRI neurofeedback, revealing how brain activity and subjective experience interact during focused attention. This study bridges the gap between objective neuroscience and first-person introspection by using experienced meditators who excel at monitoring their mental states. By providing real-time feedback from the posterior cingulate cortex (a key region in self-referential processing and mind-wandering), researchers demonstrated that meditators can voluntarily regulate brain activity linked to attention and awareness. Tune in to discover how these findings advance our understanding of meditation, neuroplasticity, and the mind-body connection.Full Reference:Garrison, K. A., Scheinost, D., Worhunsky, P.
