Abbys discussion on Rich Country problems quickly takes an unexpected turn down memory lane. And talk about the pitfalls of big business becomes strangely philosophical debate. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In 1890 the Danish-American journalist Jacob Riis turned his eye-opening reporting and lecture series into a ground-breaking book called How The Other Half Lives, a best seller which awoke Americans to the plight of the poor and laid the groundwork for the Progressive Era.Riis exposed more than a humanitarian crisis. He laid bare the city's complacent Gilded Age divide in revolutionary ways, most notably with the use of a new tool -- documentary photography.For our 400th episode, following our tradition of exploring the legacies of urban planners in past centennial shows (#100 Robert Moses, #200 Jane Jacobs, #300 Andrew Haswell Green), we finally look at the life of the crusading police reporter and social reformer who forced upper and middle class New Yorker to examine the living conditions within the city's poorest neighborhoods.Riis was himself an immigrant who spent his first years in the United States drifting from place to place, living on the street, his only companion a faithful dog. Journalism quite literally saved Riis, providing him with both a stable living and a purpose, especially after he became a police reporter for the New York Tribune in 1877.But it was his fascination with visual media -- magic lantern shows and later flash photography -- which set him apart from other crusading writers of the period like Nellie Bly (who we only wish had a camera with her!)Jacob Riis' culminating work How The Other Half Lives made him one of America's most famous writers -- his friend Theodore Roosevelt called Riss "the model American citizen" -- but the book has an imperfect legacy today, with Riis' broad characterizations of the people he was writing about undercutting the book's noble purposes.PLUS: The legacy of Riis lives in a very popular Queens beach. And Robert Moses chimes in!Visit the website for more informationFURTHER READINGThe Battle with the Slum / Jacob RiisThe Children of the Poor / Jacob RiisHow The Other Half Lives / Jacob RiisThe Making Of An American / Jacob RiisThe Other Half: The Life of Jacob Riis and the World of Immigrant America / Tom Buk-SwientyJacob A.

Django Nudo and Smut Peddler are back after a short break. This week they attended the Everyman Cult Tuesday (and Friday) screenings with Christina Lindberg introducing "Anita - Swedish Nymphet" (1973).  On 22 November there will be a Calvin Floyd double bill at Stockholm's Bio Aspen.  We thank our Mystery Santa and give a preview of the Badvent calendar that will have 24 films released in December, one per day, as we count down the 24 days of Cultmast. From our partners Echelon Studios we have a trio of fun films, including Scandinavia's only kaiju film (make that Europe's only?) in the giant lizard form of "Reptilicus" (1961). The Danish-American co-production was made in two versions, of which you can watch the re-edited American version on Cultpix. Lizard tail found in Lapland mine grows in gigantic lizard rampaging through downtown Copenhagen - with songs! "BMX Bandits" (1983) is not just Nicole Kidman's acting debut (she was just 16), but also helped solidify BMX bikes as a staple of 80s nostalgia films. There is a straight line from "Goonies" to "Stranger Things" that goes via this kids caper of foiling bank robbers and doing trick rides on cool bikes through Sydney.  Then there is the Swords & Planets sub-genre of "Gor" (1987), that combines the rampent sexism of the original novels with some heavy weight acting talent: Jack Palance as Xenos (born Volodymyr Ivanovytch Palahniuk!), Oliver Reed as Sarm and Arnold Vosloo  (who was the mummy in The Mummy). Interplanetary nonsense with leather bikinis - no less 80-s than BMX bikes. While the poster is the stand-out feature of "The Astounding She-Monster" (1958), there is plenty else to like about this feature that Ed Wood Jr. was un-official consultant to. The budget was tigheter than Shirley Kilpatrick's alien leotard, which ripped on the first of the four days of shooting. As there was no budget to repair it, she had to walk backwards to exit a scene. Shame also that they didn't keep the original title "Naked Invader", which was ditched to appease the censors.  Japan's first celluloid superhero Starman (Sūpā Jaiantsu, literally translated as "Super Giants") is a combination of George Reeve's "Superman" TV show and Doctor Who, as the alien from Planet Emerald sent to help Earth fight of space monsters in various forms. Edited together from TV shows into four feature films, they are cult classics that screened at the Klubb Super 8/Something Weird festival in Stockholm. Start with "Attack From Space" (1965) and be sure that "Invaders from Space" (1966) is the last one you watch as it is also the best one.  Since we started with a kaiju film it is only right to end with one as well, as "Destroy All Planets" (1968), aka Gamera vs. Outer Space monster Viras, pitches giant flying turtle monster Gamera battling Viras with the help of some plucky boy scouts. But what we really want to know is who would win in a battle between Reptilicus vs Gamera or Starman vs the Astounding She Creature?  And why not see BMX Bandits taking on the evil armies of Gor? That would have made for truly interesting films. Or, wait, isn't that what "Turbo Kid" (2015) was?

Tracy’s tweets @ twitter.com/tracybethhoeg and her Facebook posts are an excellent way to understand scientific findings about COVID-19 as they come out. This show delves into a really wide variety of topics because I wanted to pick Tracy’s brain is several key areas where she’s an expert. We talked about: • How COVID 19 affects runners. • Various studies she’s been part of at WS100 and their practical implications, especially related to runners and bone health plus metabolonics analysis (basically looking at the correlation between different small molecule metabolic products within the body for faster runners versus slower runners). • Temporary vision loss through Corneal Edema in ultras, including how it happens and how to avoid it. • Hallucinations in ultra running. • The Menstrual Cycle and how this affects training and racing. • Regenerative Medicine, especially Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate injections, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) treatment and Prolotherapy. The discussion focused on what these are, when they get used and common myths and misconceptions.

Remarkably, we found that with rising CO2 evergreen trees and shrubs are more efficient in using water than deciduous plants in cooler climate locations. Still, there is no evidence for such a pattern in parts of the world with warmer climates. The reason for the detected differences in the evergreen and deciduous plant responses to climate change lies in their leaf texture. The leaves of evergreens are generally thicker and sturdier than deciduous plants in colder climates, while they are mostly similar in texture between the two groups in the warmer climates."   St. Swithin's Day   (Click to read this original post)   Alright, that's it for today's gardening news.

Inigo introduced classical Roman architecture and the Italian Renaissance to Britain. He left his mark on London building designs, such as the classically styled Queen's House for Anne of Denmark.  Today, gardeners remember that Inigo designed the layout for Covent Garden square ("Cuv-int"). The Duke of Bedford asked Inigo to build a residential square using the Italian piazza for inspiration. The Duke felt he had to include a church, but he told Inigo to put up something simple like a barn. Inigo's famous response was that the Duke would have "the finest barn in Europe." And Covent Garden became the excellent setting for London's farmer's market for over three centuries.   1751   It's the anniversary of the death of the botanist John Wilson. It was John Wilson who first attempted a systematic arrangement of the plants of Great Britain in the English language. From a professional standpoint, John was a shoemaker and then a baker. There is a little story that is often told about John with regard to his love of botany. Apparently, John was so intent on learning about botany that he almost sold his only cow to buy a book written by the Scottish botanist and taxonomist Robert Morison. The transaction would have almost certainly caused John's financial ruin had a neighbor lady not purchased the book for him. And there's another story that reveals John's self-taught botanical expertise and personality. John had traveled to the county of Durham, where he met a man who enjoyed growing rare plants. Confident he could beat John, the man challenged him to a plant-naming contest. To his shock and dismay, John was able to name all of the rare specimens in his garden. When it was John's turn, he looked about and grabbed a wild herb growing nearby, which the man simply dismissed as a weed. John stated that the word "weed" was not sufficient, and he said that the man's answer proved he was merely a gardener and not a botanist. And that's how John Wilson ended up winning the contest.   1793   Today is the birthday of Almira Hart Lincoln Phelps. Almira wrote about nature, and her textbook, Familiar Lectures on Botany, was first published in 1829. Almira taught at Amherst Academy, and her textbook was undoubtedly known and used by Emily Dickinson, who was a student there. The following quotes show us that Almira was hip to the idea of mindfulness over 200 years ago. Here's what she wrote: "So, in the physical world, mankind is prone to seek an explanation of uncommon phenomena only, while the ordinary changes of nature, which are in themselves equally wonderful, are disregarded. How often are the beauties of nature unheeded by man, who, musing on past ills, brooding over the possible calamities of the future, building castles in the air, or wrapped up in his own self-love and self-importance, forgets to look abroad, or looks with a vacant stare. Each opening bud, and care-perfected seed, is as a page, where we may read of God."   1885   On this day, thousands of people watched as Niagra Falls was officially opened.  The area had been thoroughly cleaned up, improved, and made more accessible. Prior to the restoration, Frederick Law Olmsted said of the Falls, "I have followed the Appalachian chain almost from end to end, and traveled on horseback, in search of the picturesque; over four thousand miles… without finding … the same quality of forest beauty which was once abundant about the falls."   Unearthed Words Today's poems are about insects: The Poetry of earth is never dead: When all the birds are faint with the hot sun, And hide in cooling trees, a voice will run From hedge to hedge about the new-mown mead; That is the Grasshopper's — he takes the lead In summer luxury, — he has never done With his delights; for when tired out with fun He rests at ease beneath some pleasant weed. The poetry of earth is ceasing never: On a lone winter evening, when the frost Has wrought a silence, from the stove there shrills The Cricket's song, in warmth, increasing ever, And seems to one in drowsiness half lost, The Grasshopper's among some grassy hills. — John Keats, English Romantic poet, On the Grasshopper and Cricket   Mosquito is out, it's the end of the day; she's humming and hunting her evening away. Who knows why such hunger arrives on such wings at sundown? I guess it's the nature of things. — Niels Mogens Boedecker, Danish-American author and illustrator, Midsummer Night Itch   Grow That Garden Library How to Cheat at Gardening and Yard Work by Jeff Bredenberg This book came out in 2009 and the subtitle is Shameless Tricks for Growing Radically Simple Flowers, Veggies, Lawns, Landscaping, and More. Jeff Bredenberg outlines essential tips for beginning gardeners. He aims to show gardeners: "How the right tool can save you time—and save your back, that doing less for your lawn actually means a better result, why planting a diversion crop cuts down on your pest-patrol efforts, and that groundcovers and foliage plants are no-hassle solutions for weedy flowerbeds." The book is 384 pages of tips and tricks - all shared with today's gardener in mind. You can get a copy of How to Cheat at Gardening and Yard Work by Jeff Bredenberg and support the show, using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $2.   Today's Botanic Spark 1838   Today is the birthday of the Irish practical gardener and journalist, the passionate William Robinson.   It's been fun researching William Robinson, and I came across many different accounts of a story from his early days in horticulture. This gem was particularly memorable, and I thought you'd enjoy hearing about it: When he was young, William was working on the estate of an Irish baronet. One cold night, the fires for keeping the greenhouses warm failed - the reason is unclear. Whatever the particulars, whether he argued with his boss, forgot to tend the fire, or acted in revenge, the result was that the tender plants in the greenhouse died. That night, William left, and he walked all the way to Dublin - which he did not reach until the following morning. When William arrived in Dublin, he asked for a Dr. David Moore, the head of the botanical garden, and when they met, he asked Moore what he should do. Well, Moore must have liked William because he offered him a job on the spot - but not with the greenhouses. Instead, William was put in charge of herbaceous plants - plants that die back in the winter and return in the spring after their season of rest (no greenhouse required!) These plants also included English wildflowers. In any case, the truth remains that William Robinson forever after did not care for greenhouses, and he did not allow them at Gravetye Manor.

In this week’s episode of This Much I Know, Carlos is joined by David Helgason, co-founder and former CEO of Unity Technologies, a Danish-American video game software development company best known for the development of Unity, the world’s leading real-time 3D development platform and last valued at $6bn. Originally from Iceland, at the age of ten David moved with his accomplished journalist mother and his two brothers to Denmark. He shares how we would use his mother’s computer at every chance he had and that this infatuation with computers became the drive for his passion to work as a developer, alongside his studies in physics and psychology. By the time David finished university, he had already founded two tech companies, Panmedia - a business processes tech shop - and iCover, which developed creative CD-cover like experiences for digital albums. After graduation, David embarked on a new project with his two friends Nicholas Francis, and Joachim Ante, and that summer they founded Over The Edge Entertainment (OTEE) which was later renamed Unity Technologies. A classic Silicon Valley tale, except with a European spin, Carlos and David go through the learning curves of building startups from a young age, what really set Unity apart from its competitors, and how much heart and sweat they put behind each and every customer. Now a prolific angel investor, backing more than forty nordic startups through his syndicate Nordic Makers, there is one thing in particular that he wants to share: never underestimate the importance of following your own intuition.

HAA's favorite Danish-American is, of course, Christian Honore. But, as he isn't a movie actor, attention has turned instead to one of the lynchpins of the Lord of the Rings trilogy: Viggo Mortensen. The Brothers Wilson feature his literal crowning glory in Return of the King, whilst ignoring his pre-Tolkein career in favor of an atypical comic book movie, A History of Violence, and his part in the recent Academy Award-winning biopic Green Book. Along the way, Pandy spends the entire recording baking bread, Ian starts a new recurring trope, and there's some light mockery of Blink-182 to boot.

Transsexual American celebrity is born. George William Jorgensen was born to Danish American parents on May 30, 1926, in the Bronx, New York. After graduating from Christopher Columbus High School in 1945, he was drafted into the Army, where he served for two years. According to Jorgensen, he always felt like someone born in the wrong body. In 1950, at the age of 49, he addressed this by flying to Copenhagen, Denmark to undergo surgery that castrated him and removed his penis. (He did not, however, have a vagina constructed.) The series of medical procedures – not available in the U.S. at the time – transformed him from a man into a woman. Two years later, the newly renamed Christine Jorgenson wrote her parents, “Nature made a mistake, which I have corrected, and I am now your daughter.” She was an attractive woman, and returned to New York to great media attention, helping change the country’s view of transsexuals. Jorgensen was the most written about person in the U.S. in 1953; even she was surprised by the attention. From her profession as a photographer, she pursued new roles as an entertainer and singer. She also traveled extensively, becoming highly popular on the public-speaking circuit for her lectures on transsexuality and gender dysphoria. Her book, Christine Jorgensen: A Personal Autobiography, became the 1970 movie, The Christine Jorgensen Movie. Jorgensen retired to southern California and died in 1988 at the age of 62 of bladder cancer. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
