©Studio ROBIN KID - Portrait of the artist at his studio in the Paris area. Robin Kid (b. 1991), is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist from Dutch descent. Raised by his grand parents in a post war little mining town in the rural south of Holland, Robin had difficulties fitting in at school and preferred to rush home to find his refuge in front of the American programs on TV. From re-runs of Davy Crocket, music videos on MTV to explosive fights on Jerry Springer and the commercials in between, Robin was mesmerized by the spectacle and power of American consumerism. After dropping out of high school and a short-lived career at Mc Donalds, he decided he would teach himself to paint and sculpt through YouTube as a way to navigate today's world by drawing on the one of his childhood. His work hijacks a variety of social, political and traditional imagery of the past and present, with rebellious, religious, fantastical and in some ways offensive undertones. He pulls intuitively from the world of advertising, the Internet, the entertainment industry and his childhood memories, to produce ambitious, enigmatic and thought-provoking narratives, which question our polarized world of the 21st century. In parallel, Robin Kid's solo exhibition The Future Is Old is on view at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art MOCO in Barcelona following his three-year solo exhibition at MOCO Amsterdam, and his monumental sculpture The State We Are In, In The Consciousness Of A Country's Empty Mind as well as four paintings by the artist are on view at the Twenty-First Century Museum 21C in Louisville as part of the group exhibition This We Believe after its three-year exhibition at the 21C Museum in Chicago. ROBIN KID works are part of public, corporate and private collections in Switzerland, France, Netherlands, Spain, Germany, China, South Korea, the UK and the USA.

THE Presentations Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Joe Biden gave a disastrous debate performance. His team floated the idea that he had a cold and that was why his voice sounded so weak and soft. There was also talk that his prior busy international schedule had also taken a heavy toll on him. Should he have gone on with the debate? Looking back, I am sure he regrets the decision to go forward with it, rather than rescheduling. What about for us in business? Dates for events are set well in advance, but a lot can happen in the interim. If we get Covid, that is an easy one – there is no way we can turn up and infect the multitudes gathered to hear our pearls of wisdom. What about a cold, food poisoning, toothache or something a little less dramatic than the residues of the pandemic? If you were a man brought up in macho Australia, you would keep going and “soldier on”, regardless. But is that actually the best policy? We have to keep in mind that like Joe, we are putting our personal and professional brands out there on public display. Does anyone seriously forgive Joe for his shambolic presentation simply because he had a cold or a flight back from Italy? I doubt it. We judge what we see in front of us, and we are all so sceptical and unforgiving today. We quickly jump to conclusions and we have no tolerance for underperformance or time for excuses. It is tough in Japan, because the number of occasions we may have the opportunity to give a talk are relatively limited, even if you speak fluent Japanese. We may not want to miss the chance to speak. The organisers will expect you to turn up and deliver and we will feel obligated to make sure the show goes on regardless of how bad we are feeling. Often, the organisers in Japan are not expecting fireworks with the talk and their main concern is that the programme is completed in full and on time. If you give a reputation destroying effort, the hosts don't feel any remorse about pushing you to perform as scheduled. They did their bit to pull a crowd and after that, it is up to you, to carry it off. I would suggest that we take the long-term view. Your reputation and brand are inviolable. Once you create doubt about your professional competence, it is hard to win it back. That is what Joe Biden is finding. He cannot mount enough capability to overcome the train wreck and by the time this podcast gets released he may be out entirely. Bad news moves at a fast clip and good news travels along on the saddle of a sloth. We may compromise our relationship with the event organisers, but in most cases, we are speaking for no pay and just for glory. If Joe had said I am unwell and can't debate on this particular date, then the whole thing would have been rescheduled, despite the inconvenience to everyone. After a day of headlines, everyone would have forgotten about it and would be focused on the new date. Hardly anyone will remember that you cancelled your talk. However, everyone there watching will remember you were a disaster or were fundamentally unimpressive. And that is precisely what they will say about you when you name comes up. “Oh, yeah, I saw him speak once and it was dreadful”. Is that really the legacy we want to haul around with us as we move through this business life. Making excuses doesn't go down well either, once you do turn up. Telling the crowd at the start that you are unwell gets no sympathy vote whatsoever. Everyone expects you to be on top of your game and any excuses are seen as whining, weak, and pointless. Japanese speakers do this a lot. They start off their talk by informing us they are a terrible speaker or have a cold or didn't have enough time to properly prepare the talk. This is all seen as tatemae – superficial truth – by the audience and as a weak flex to show humility. No one pays the slightest attention to the content of what is being said and expect the speaker to perform, anyway. Our brand must be protected at all times. If we feel we are not going to be able to defend it, we are better to be like the ballad of Davy Crocket and come back and “fight another day”. Better to reschedule if you are not doing well and can't pull it off. There is no upside for you to go on stage and a huge downside if you do perform and fluff it.

On this episode of The Resistance Library Podcast, Sam and Dave discuss Davy Crocket and the forgotten history of the King of the Wild Frontier and the Battle of Alamo. David Hawkins Stern Crockett, fondly remembered as Davy Crockett, was born in eastern Tennessee to pioneer parents on August 17, 1786. Like many settlers of the time, the Crockett family continually pushed West, blazing into new territory (a trend Davy would continue to do with his own family) and by the time Davy was 12, the family had moved three times and was living in western Tennessee. Known as an honest and hardworking boy with a good sense of humor, Davy learned to shoot with his father around age eight and enjoyed joining his older brother on hunting trips. The boy who would become known as “King of the Wild Frontier” ran away from home at the age of 13, after getting in a fight at school almost immediately after he was enrolled. Not wanting to face the wrath of his father, or retaliation from the class bully he fought, Davy went on his own, taking up odd jobs including working as a farmer, cattle-driver, and hatter. At 15, Davy returned home and indentured himself, more than once, to pay off his father's debts. Unbeknownst to the country boy, young Davy's humble beginnings were leading him down roads that would twist through politics, battlefields, and America's heart – turning him into a folk hero of mythical proportions.

Dream Word – PREPAREJonah 4:6 And the Lord God prepared a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be shade for his head to deliver him from his misery. So Jonah was very grateful for the plant. NKJVAs is my usual routine, I got up early this morning, acquiesced to the instant ablutions of a man in his later years, clicked on the kitchen light, and placed some heavily caffeinated rich dark Columbian in the percolator in preparation for some later laxitivity, while then sitting down to write tonight’s 'NightWhisper.'The light from the kitchen shone in the surrounding darkness of this Kentucky hillside and drew ‘the boys’ from afar. ‘The boys’ as we call them are ‘Itsy and Bitsy’ two little gifts from God, found meowing on the side of the road by my wife on her birthday, which was some 18 months previous to this. Two dumped and orphaned little ginger Tom Cats. Two twitching-faced Davy Crocket hats, two foul-wind machines, two sources of pest control, two mouse deliverers, two purring, warm and cozy, sources of comfort and sources of caressing. Two little creatures curled at the bottom of the bed, two sets of bright eyes in the long night, two little sources of God’s comfort that turn up each morning, greet you with a smile, bite your feet to let you know you live today, and then wrap their warm and fuzzy little tails around your cold morning calves, to also let you know that today, you are loved once more! Yes, the boys, those two little ginger ‘Tom’s,’ those two little gifts from God, came banging at my early morning door, most each and every day.It is interesting how attached you get to little things. In our text for tonight, for that peculiar and pugnacious prophet called Jonah, it was a plant, and a simple day plant at that. For me and for my wife, it was our cats, our furry substitutes for our much older but very missed children and two warm little distractions from the cold loneliness that such a missing often generates. A few days after writing this NightWhisper, I returned to our homeland, and left those two little creatures behind. As the little ginger duet, crouching side by side, eating in unison from their full blue bowls, I think how much I will miss this furry morning routine. Then I thought to myself, “Man! If we ever have to leave them for good, that’s gonna be a hard one, especially for my wife.”It’s amazing how misery can so easily leap upon a Celt. That last thought of mine allowed the cat of melancholia to come and curl up in my lap, look me in my eye and remind me that in this life, everything and everyone shall be said goodbye to. “The longer you live,” it menacingly purred, “Then the more you shall say goodbye. Until at last, they shall say goodbye to you.” It then relaxed and in the relaxing, it broke some very smelly and unwanted wind. Finally, it said, “One day soon, you are going to die.” I said, “Thanks for the reminder.”By now the coffee was beginning to take effect so I quickly grabbed that mangy little visitor by its scabby little neck and threw it out the window! It had said nothing new. No, I am aware of all that. I am a Pilgrim for goodness sake! En-route to God's Holy City, to my Hometown nestled in the mountains of my Homeland, and in being a Pilgrim right now, I am therefore already preparing my goodbyes well in advance, but more than that, oh mangy and smelly melancholic little kitten, I am preparing my “Hello’s” and I am practicing my “How do you do's!”How about you tonight? What hello's are you looking forward to after your final goodbye is said?It was Alfred Lord Tennyson that wrote, ‘The Crossing of the Bar.’ It is a majestic piece and the last two lines read..“I hope to see my Pilot face to faceWhen Support the show (http://www.victorrobert.tv)
To celebrate America’s Birthday we’re going to learn about the most ‘Murican of ‘Murican things to happen in the U.S.
Almost a month after 200 Texan rebels were defeated at the Battle of the Alamo, the rebel army got its revenge, earning Texas its independence.
Davy Crocket was a politician and famous American Frontiersman. After losing an election he fled to Texas to join the revolution and soldiers protecting the Alamo. We know that he died in the battle of The Alamo but we don't know how.
In our 23rd episode, Julia takes charge and gives us the rundown on what transpired at the Battle of the Alamo in 1836 [and why General Santa Anna was about as welcome in Texas as a porcupine at a nudist colony ]. Later, enjoy a quiz called “Everything’s Bigger in Texas!” . . . [Music: 1) Jason Shaw, “South of the Border,” 2011. Courtesy of Jason Shaw, CC BY 3.0 license; 2) Frau Holle, “Ascending Souls,” 2017.
