The importance of being Pleasant is not to be dismissed, You may think it means being a pushover, but I disagree, It can sometimes take far more strength than just making a fist, Because it requires you to have empathy to a significant degree. [full text below] Ep. 403 - Pleasantly Happy We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! The importance of being Pleasant is not to be dismissed, You may think it means being a pushover, but I disagree, It can sometimes take far more strength than just making a fist, Because it requires you to have empathy to a significant degree. I encounter people in bad moods on a regular basis, And I sometimes want to tell them to go take a flying leap, But that just pollutes the waters of my mental oasis, Resulting in nothing more than a psychological garbage heap. But being Pleasant, on the other hand, can sometimes work wonders,  Once they realize I'm unflappable, they can stop pushing quite so hard, They might even apologize for their attitude and their blunders,  And then I get to be the bigger person and someone they can't disregard. I grew up on a street that provided access to the cemetery in my town, They called the street Pleasant to make it seem nice and quiet, I imagine a name like Cemetery Lane wouldn't have had the same renown, And if it was called Death Road, the town parade might've turned into a riot. But Pleasant Street wasn't always peaceful, there were fights, funerals and speeding cars, We lost more than one beloved housepet over the years to drivers not paying attention, And there were dog attacks, rivalries and acts of bullying that left lasting scars, As well as forms of cruelty beyond levels of above-average comprehension. So I learned to be tough because in my house you needed a thick skin, And yet I didn't want to grow up to be cold, bitter, angry, hateful or afraid, So I left Pleasant Street, while still carrying some of those feelings deep within, And ridding myself of that pain has been something of a lifelong crusade. Who else but such a one as that would do a weekly podcast about Balance and Growth, Trying to come to terms with the unpleasantness that can sometimes bubble forth, But I don't just want to pretend to be Pleasant, which can come off as fake and forced both, I try to find real reasons to actually feel and be Pleasant letting Happy be my True North. Used to be that behind my smiling mask was a face of pure vengeance and hot fury, I couldn't fight all the Mean People at once, so I sat brooding, plotting their eventual demise, Someday, I vowed, when least they expected it, I would be their executioner, judge and jury, And then I'd laugh, and bury them so deep that no one would ever catch wise. But the further I got from Pleasant Street, the more I could let those bad old feelings go, And as I did I realized that underneath all that darkness there was light, I remembered the days long before bullies ever came into my life and brought me low, Back when people arguing who could claim to be my best friend was the only fight. I was Pleasant and Happy, and what I once was, I was sure I could be again, I just had to strip away all the old bad habits, aggression and grudges I was holding on to, Not for anyone else, but for myself, I needed to decide there and then That I would aim for Balance and Growth in all that I say and do. It took me a minute, and it's not smooth sailing always even now, I've had to suffer through heartbreak and tragedy, near death experiences and loss, But even when I get stressed I still find causes to smile and you want to know how? I remember that Happy comes from within, and knowing that makes me my own boss. Haha Yowza

In this episode, we go on a journey into the Bolivian highlands for a completely unique festival called “Tinku.” It takes place in a tiny town called Macha, which is not exactly a tourist hot spot. The aim of the game is to fight thy neighbour in order to spill blood and satisfy the Andean gods, which are all-powerful to the indigenous Aymara community.We drink with the locals, dance with the locals and some of us fight with the locals. It is a chaotic couple of days, and one of the world's most unusual sporting traditions.Also, we visit La Paz and El Alto and talk about the fighting Cholitas, and we hop on a Mountain bike down Death Road.Before all that, there's part four of the Patagonian hitchhiking journey, as Eoin is still trying to get himself to the town of Esquel.Follow Eoin…https://www.instagram.com/eoinsheahan/https://x.com/EoinSheahanhttps://www.tiktok.com/@eoinsheahanEmail: eoinsheahan1@gmail.com

VOICES FOR MADIDI, 24min., Canada Directed by Jonathan Derksen Bolivia's Madidi National Park is considered to be the most biodiverse place on planet earth. The Uchupiamonas people, who call the park home, are in a constant battle against forces eager to exploit the protected area for its hydroelectric potential, hardwoods and gold. In this documentary, we hear from of the eco-warriors at the front lines. https://www.instagram.com/jonathanderksen/ Get to know the filmmaker: The Madidi area of the Bolivian Amazon is perhaps the most biodiverse place on earth. I first visited the area in 1982 as a teenager, when a group of friends and I ventured down the Beni River in a motorized dugout canoe during the rainy season, only to almost meet our fate in deadly rapids, whirl pools and a maze of giant tree snags. Fortunately, we were taken in by some Moseten hunters, who fed us and gave us shelter until the rains abated and we could carry on. I returned to the area in the nineties as a photojournalist on a national parks beat, then, in 2007 as an expedition leader. In 2008, I filmed with National Geographic on Bolivia's infamous “Death Road” traversing the Andes to the Amazon. In 2016 and 2017, I worked on a coffee table book “Madidi: an uncertain future” with photographer Sergio Ballivian. On each expedition, I interacted with the extraordinary Uchupiamonas people, who taught me the ways of the jungle and the profound importance of protecting such unparalleled biodiversity. They also educated me about the various existential threats to the region and its indigenous people. This lit a fire under me. In 2023, I returned with a film crew in hopes of bringing their story to the rest of the world, culminating in “Voices for Madidi”, a bilingual expression of the eco-warriors serving the front lives of a little-publicized battle.

Tonight I talk about "Bolivia Death Road" using easy Japanese mostly from Genki 1 and Genki 2. Enjoy this episode!

There is a road in Warren County, New Jersey, that, according to many generations of locals, seems to be a vortex or at least a hotspot of all manner of paranormal and unsettling activity.  Tales of Native American spirits seen along the roadside, ghostly victims of vigilante justice dangling from “The Hanging Tree,” spectral deer running alongside cars, murder and highway robbery, UAPs and glowing orbs, the ghost from a 1950s Prom Date car accident still in her burned dress limping home, and even disturbing Polaroids of distressed people scattered in the woods are all part of the lore of this nearly 7-mile stretch of road officially and aptly named, Shades of Death Road.  But with such an ominous and foreboding name, does this country road live up to the hype, and how did it get its name?  Perhaps one could dismiss Shades of Death Road as just another random community locus that births Urban Legends, except that it's not the only haunting and notorious landmark in the area.  Adjacent to the road are two other mysteriously named topographical features, Ghost Lake and Jenny Jump Mountain, each with their own disturbing stories.  So is the collection of incidents from these places merely a coincidence that fuels imagination and legends, or does this particular swath of earth generate the creepy activity that happens upon it?  Let's find out as we deep drive down Shades of Death Road. Visit our website for a lot more information on this episode.

But many thought the idea was ludicrous. Now it appears the magic bullet theory may not be as crazy as it sounds.

Happy Spooky Wednesday! This week we have a creepy New Jersey week, but not creepy for the reasons you might associate either the state. Nothing to do with Pauly D or Snooki. First Kala talks about haunted NJ roads: Annie's Road, Clinton Road, and Shade of Death Road. Each stretch of pavement has their own back stories that result in haunted tales including a woman in white, a coin-retrieving ghost boy, and figure shaped mists. And Brittany talks about the Hotel Macomber in Cape May, which has no less than 9 ghosts. That's right. More than 8, but maybe not 10? One spirit has been a guest since the 1940s, long past her death, banging her trunk up and down the stairs ever since. Another just wants the poor kitchen staff to take a breather in the walk in freezer. All in all, they seem pretty helpful. We end the episode with a beautiful and touching listener story involving a ghost puppers!

Jennie and Dianne are joined by Drifter and Gypsie of the Rebel at Large Adventure podcast for a special Friday the 13th...err... Thursday the 13th visit to the Hope Moravian Cemetery, located in Hope, New Jersey. This cemetery is featured in the movie Friday the 13th in which its high arched, cast iron front gate, with the name lettered through the arch, has become iconic with horror movie fans. However,  Hope, New Jersey is one of the earliest planned communities in America, having been established by German Moravians in 1769. This Ordinary Extraordinary community suffered its share of hardships, triumphs, and spooky superstitions.

Taylor tells Josie about Bolivia's infamous San Pedro prison. Plus: the deadly tragedy of Cameroon's Lake Nyos.

Bolivia is a country with 36 indigenous people and 37 official languages. It has the world's largest salt flat. Besides supplying salt, it contains several other minerals of use. It is so large that after it rains the standing water becomes the earth's largest mirror making it ideal for calibrating the altimeters for earth's satellites. Nearby you will find the Hotel de Salad, built entirely from salt blocks including the interior and the furniture. It is home to what was known as The Death Road - the world's most dangerous road in the 90's.  ·      00:00 – Intro  ·      01:29 – Bare Bones ·      05:12 – Heart of the Nation ·      01:14:43 – Who Is? ·      01:16:04 – Who Would've Thought?

But there is another reason to avoid the marshes and swamps… as they contain evil spirits and demons.

(Shades of Death Road) *** Did an extraterrestrial invasion take place in Bowling Green, Kentucky? One woman insists it did. (Aliens in Kentucky) *** They arise from the ocean like a small army, and they can kill with a single look into your eyes. Beware the spirit ranks… the night marchers. (Deadly Stare of the Night Marchers) *** If the dream world feels just as real as the waking one - at least while we are in it - how can we know for sure that we're not currently living in a dream, a dream from which we may one day wake up?

This week, Rebecca tells Ally and Sarah all about the local legend of Shades of Death Road.

This is episode 17 and we’re approaching the end of Operation Savannah which had started out so well but was rapidly turning into a strategic nightmare for the South Africans. One of the fastest mechanised invasions since World War Two had resulted in the SADF now deep into Angola – and in the case of Brigadier Roos who was a liaison officer based in Ambriz with the FNLA – he was cut off on the coast to the north of the capital Luanda. IT was mid-November 1975 and the MPLA and Cubans were starting to move determined to rid the country of the FNLA. Meanwhile to the south, Unita was holding onto its main gains which now extended from the South West African border to the main railway linking the coastal ports of Benguela and Lobito – and the resource rich Katanga region of neighbouring Zaire. The political strategy was about to come under intense pressure – although the US, France Unita and the FNLA had all requested the South Africans to remain inside Angola and support Jonas Savimbi. Remember the Holden Roberto had decided to attack the capital with SADF support – an attack that ended in dismal failure along Luanda’s Death Road. Brigadier Roos who was the SADF Liaison officer based in Ambriz now faced possible capture – along with South Africa’s three 5.5inch guns they’d flown into northern Angola to assist the FNLA in their hapless assault on Luanda on 10th November. IT was decided that the an anti-submarine frigate SAS Steyn would steam to Northern Angola to extract the SADF. This was not going to be easy with Russian and Cuban ships and planes on the lookout...

This is episode 16 and we’re covering Operation Savannah which took place between October and December 1975. That was the invasion of southern Angola by the South African Defence Force in response to the outbreak of a civil war in the country involving the three main independence movements that had fought against Portuguese colonial rule. These were the MPLA, Unita and the FNLA. Our focus in this episode shifts in a while to the FNLA’s assault on the Capital Luanda. But first an update about the SADF. Brigadier Schoeman who was in charge of the region had setup his base at Cela in the south east and he had plans. The first was to replace the commanders of both Task Forces. So he duly summoned Zulu’s Colonel van Heerden to a meeting. Van Heerden left Battle Group Alpha behind at the port of Sumbe south of Luanda and arrived in Cela on the 13th November along with 500 members of his now ragged force. He was told that Task Force Zulu was to be led by Colonel CJ Swart. Commandat Eddie Webb also received the military equivalent of a Dear Jonnie and he was replaced as Foxbat officer commanding by Commandant George Kruys. The SADF swapped out these hardened soldiers at precisely the same time as the anti-MPLA forces were to suffer a reversal of fortune. Earlier in November on the 4th , Magnus Malan and Constand Viljoen had paid a secret lightning visit to Holden Roberto at his port laire where they tried to convince him that a direct assault along the main roads was not the wisest military strategy. Roberto refused to entertain other options - a decision which turned out to be suicidal.
