Nina Pick, poet and oral historian with the Yiddish Book Center, speaks about her experience as a grandchild and interviewer of Auschwitz survivors. She reflects on themes of ancestral trauma, intergenerational healing, and the importance of ecological mourning.

Today Jason and I will be evaluating how we did on last year's New Years Resolution to decrease our carbon footprint. We will also talk about our ecological footprint. Over the past year, we made a lot of life changes - downsizing from a house to an apartment, changing jobs, and starting school. It will be interesting to see how all of that impacted our carbon and ecological footprints!

I do love a good border crossing, so join me as I travel to Northeast Portugal, into the Coa River Valley, to witness a really interesting story that is unfolding there.The dense old forests that were there are now mostly gone. Cut down and replaced with pastures for sheep and olive groves generations ago. And now the shepherds and other farmers are abandoning this region in droves. This checkered history has led to a poor economy, brush instead of trees and an explosion of wildfires.Join me as I meet passionate, young biologists who are bringing back the forest, ecosystems and wild animals, and creating a new, healthy space for all. To create an ecological utopia in the Coa Valley of Portugal.The WILD is a joint production of myself and KUOW Public Radio.

We discuss recent work Andreas Malm – Marxist historian, ecologists, and radical climate activist – as analysed through a large synthetic review essay by Adam Tooze. We get into capitalism's climate catastrophe, the politics and praxis of direct action, the ahistorical positions and principles of large liberal climate change activism movements, and the urgent need for moral arguments backed up by material actions. It's how to blow up a pipeline meets how to sabotage a factory line.

First Sunday after Christmas The Collect: Almighty God, you have poured upon us the new light of your incarnate Word: Grant that this light, enkindled in our hearts, may shine forth in our lives; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Old Testament: Isaiah 61:10-62:3 10I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my whole being shall exult in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. 11For as the earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations. 1For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her vindication shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning torch. 2The nations shall see your vindication, and all the kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will give. 3You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. Psalm: 147 or 147:13-21 [1 Hallelujah!        How good it is to sing praises to our God! *        how pleasant it is to honor him with praise! 2 The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem; *        he gathers the exiles of Israel. 3 He heals the brokenhearted *        and binds up their wounds. 4 He counts the number of the stars *        and calls them all by their names. 5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power; *        there is no limit to his wisdom. 6 The Lord lifts up the lowly, *        but casts the wicked to the ground. 7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; *        make music to our God upon the harp. 8 He covers the heavens with clouds *        and prepares rain for the earth; 9 He makes grass to grow upon the mountains *        and green plants to serve mankind. 10 He provides food for flocks and herds *        and for the young ravens when they cry. 11 He is not impressed by the might of a horse; *        he has no pleasure in the strength of a man; 12 But the Lord has pleasure in those who fear him, *        in those who await his gracious favor.] 13 Worship the Lord, O Jerusalem; *        praise your God, O Zion; 14 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; *        he has blessed your children within you. 15 He has established peace on your borders; *        he satisfies you with the finest wheat. 16 He sends out his command to the earth, *        and his word runs very swiftly. 17 He gives snow like wool; *        he scatters hoarfrost like ashes. 18 He scatters his hail like bread crumbs; *        who can stand against his cold? 19 He sends forth his word and melts them; *        he blows with his wind, and the waters flow. 20 He declares his word to Jacob, *        his statutes and his judgments to Israel. 21 He has not done so to any other nation; *        to them he has not revealed his judgments.        Hallelujah! Epistle: Galatians 3:23-25;4:4-7 23Now before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith would be revealed. 24Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith. 25But now that faith has come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian, 4But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children. 6And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”7So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God. Gospel: John 1:1-18 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being 4in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. 5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. 8He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. 9The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. 10He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. 11He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. 12But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, 13who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God. 14And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father's only son, full of grace and truth. 15(John testified to him and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks ahead of me because he was before me.'”)16From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 17The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18No one has ever seen God. It is God the only Son, who is close to the Father's heart, who has made him known.

NATIVITY OF THE LORD - CHRISTMAS EVE Isaiah 9:2-7 9:2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who lived in a land of deep darkness on them light has shined. 9:3 You have multiplied the nation, you have increased its joy; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest, as people exult when dividing plunder. 9:4 For the yoke of their burden, and the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian. 9:5 For all the boots of the tramping warriors and all the garments rolled in blood shall be burned as fuel for the fire. 9:6 For a child has been born for us, a son given to us; authority rests upon his shoulders; and he is named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 9:7 His authority shall grow continually, and there shall be endless peace for the throne of David and his kingdom. He will establish and uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time onward and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this. Psalm 96 96:1 O sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth. 96:2 Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. 96:3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples. 96:4 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; he is to be revered above all gods. 96:5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens. 96:6 Honor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. 96:7 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. 96:8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts. 96:9 Worship the LORD in holy splendor; tremble before him, all the earth. 96:10 Say among the nations, "The LORD is king! The world is firmly established; it shall never be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity." 96:11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; 96:12 let the field exult, and everything in it. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy 96:13 before the LORD; for he is coming, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with his truth. Titus 2:11-14 2:11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, 2:12 training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions, and in the present age to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly, 2:13 while we wait for the blessed hope and the manifestation of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. 2:14 He it is who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people of his own who are zealous for good deeds. Luke 2:1-14, (15-20) 2:1 In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2:2 This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. 2:3 All went to their own towns to be registered. 2:4 Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. 2:5 He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child. 2:6 While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. 2:7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. 2:8 In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 2:9 Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 2:10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for see--I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: 2:11 to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. 2:12 This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger." 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, 2:14 "Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!" 2:15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go now to Bethlehem and see this thing that has taken place, which the Lord has made known to us." 2:16 So they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the child lying in the manger. 2:17 When they saw this, they made known what had been told them about this child; 2:18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds told them. 2:19 But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart. 2:20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, as it had been told them.

Fourth Sunday of Advent The Collect: Purify our conscience, Almighty God, by your daily visitation, that your Son Jesus Christ, at his coming, may find in us a mansion prepared for himself; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Old Testament: Micah 5:2-5a 2But you, O Bethlehem of Ephrathah, who are one of the little clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to rule in Israel, whose origin is from of old, from ancient days. 3Therefore he shall give them up until the time when she who is in labor has brought forth; then the rest of his kindred shall return to the people of Israel. 4And he shall stand and feed his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they shall live secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth; 5and he shall be the one of peace. Psalm: Canticle 15 — The Song of Mary (Luke 1:46-55) or Psalm 80:1-7 My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; *      for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: *     the Almighty has done great things for me,     and holy is his Name. He has mercy on those who fear him *     in every generation. He has shown the strength of his arm, *     he has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, *     and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, *     and the rich he has sent away empty. He has come to the help of his servant Israel, *     for he has remembered his promise of mercy, The promise he made to our fathers, *     to Abraham and his children for ever. or 1 Hear, O Shepherd of Israel, leading Joseph like a flock; *       shine forth, you that are enthroned upon the cherubim. 2 In the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh, *      stir up your strength and come to help us. 3 Restore us, O God of hosts; *      show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved. 4 O Lord God of hosts, *      how long will you be angered      despite the prayers of your people? 5 You have fed them with the bread of tears; *      you have given them bowls of tears to drink. 6 You have made us the derision of our neighbors, *      and our enemies laugh us to scorn. 7 Restore us, O God of hosts; *      show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved. Epistle: Hebrews 10:5-10 5Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said, “Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body you have prepared for me; 6in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure. 7Then I said, ‘See, God, I have come to do your will, O God' (in the scroll of the book it is written of me).” 8When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9then he added, “See, I have come to do your will.” He abolishes the first in order to establish the second. 10And it is by God's will that we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Gospel: Luke 1:39-45, (46-55) 39In those days Mary set out and went with haste to a Judean town in the hill country, 40where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the child leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit 42and exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. 43And why has this happened to me, that the mother of my Lord comes to me? 44For as soon as I heard the sound of your greeting, the child in my womb leaped for joy. 45And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her by the Lord.” [46And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, 47and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 48for he has looked with favor on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all generations will call me blessed; 49for the Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name. 50His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation. 51He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts. 52He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly; 53he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away empty. 54He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, 55according to the promise he made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants forever.”]

Third Sunday of Advent The Collect: Stir up your power, O Lord, and with great might come among us; and, because we are sorely hindered by our sins, let your bountiful grace and mercy speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen. Old Testament: Zephaniah 3:14-20 14Sing aloud, O daughter Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice and exult with all your heart, O daughter Jerusalem! 15The Lord has taken away the judgments against you, he has turned away your enemies. The king of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst; you shall fear disaster no more. 16On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: Do not fear, O Zion; do not let your hands grow weak. 17The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness, he will renew you in his love; he will exult over you with loud singing 18as on a day of festival. I will remove disaster from you, so that you will not bear reproach for it.19I will deal with all your oppressors at that time. And I will save the lame and gather the outcast, and I will change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth. 20At that time I will bring you home, at the time when I gather you; for I will make you renowned and praised among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes, says the Lord. Psalm: Canticle 9 — The First Song of Isaiah (Isaiah 12:2-6) Surely, it is God who saves me; *      I will trust in him and not be afraid. For the Lord is my stronghold and my sure defense, *     and he will be my Savior. Therefore you shall draw water with rejoicing *     from the springs of salvation. And on that day you shall say, *     Give thanks to the Lord and call upon his Name; Make his deeds known among the peoples; *     see that they remember that his Name is exalted. Sing the praises of the Lord, for he has done great things, *     and this is known in all the world. Cry aloud, inhabitants of Zion, ring out your joy, *     for the great one in the midst of you is the Holy One of Israel. Epistle: Philippians 4:4-7 4Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. 5Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. 6Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Gospel: Luke 3:7-18 7John said to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8Bear fruits worthy of repentance. Do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our ancestor'; for I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children to Abraham. 9Even now the ax is lying at the root of the trees; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.” 10And the crowds asked him, “What then should we do?” 11In reply he said to them, “Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise.” 12Even tax collectors came to be baptized, and they asked him, “Teacher, what should we do?” 13He said to them, “Collect no more than the amount prescribed for you.” 14Soldiers also asked him, “And we, what should we do?” He said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or false accusation, and be satisfied with your wages.” 15As the people were filled with expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Messiah, 16John answered all of them by saying, “I baptize you with water; but one who is more powerful than I is coming; I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his granary; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” 18So, with many other exhortations, he proclaimed the good news to the people.

Joe DeMare interviews Jim Witer with the Wood County Park District about an interesting series of lectures the Park District is presenting including the story of four people who kayaked the length of the Maumee River. Rebecca Wood tells us the story of the Deer Mother, the pagan goddess who wore a red and white suit and flew through the air on a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer. Ecological news includes the proposal by some in the European Union to magically use taxonomy to turn fracked gas and nuclear power into "clean" energy sources, updates from Fairy Creek and the Wet'suwet'en tribe and more!

Environmental artists and climbers, Martin Hill and Philippa Jones live and work in Wanaka, but have used the world as their canvas. They conceived of the Fine Line Project, 25 years ago. It consists of 12 ephemeral environmental sculptures, created on site in remote locations, including Iceland, Madagascar, Vanuatu, Canada and Antarctica. Each creation is connected to the next by a symbolic line drawn around the earth and is featured in their book Fine Line.

Second Sunday of Advent The Collect: Merciful God, who sent your messengers the prophets to preach repentance and prepare the way for our salvation: Give us grace to heed their warnings and forsake our sins, that we may greet with joy the coming of Jesus Christ our Redeemer; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Old Testament: Baruch 5:1-9 or Malachi 3:1-4 1 Take off the garment of your sorrow and affliction, O Jerusalem,    and put on for ever the beauty of the glory from God. 2 Put on the robe of the righteousness that comes from God;    put on your head the diadem of the glory of the Everlasting; 3 for God will show your splendour everywhere under heaven. 4 For God will give you evermore the name,    ‘Righteous Peace, Godly Glory'. 5 Arise, O Jerusalem, stand upon the height;    look towards the east, and see your children gathered from west and east    at the word of the Holy One,    rejoicing that God has remembered them. 6 For they went out from you on foot,    led away by their enemies; but God will bring them back to you,    carried in glory, as on a royal throne. 7 For God has ordered that every high mountain and the everlasting hills be made low    and the valleys filled up, to make level ground,    so that Israel may walk safely in the glory of God. 8 The woods and every fragrant tree    have shaded Israel at God's command. 9 For God will lead Israel with joy,    in the light of his glory,    with the mercy and righteousness that come from him. or 1 See, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant in whom you delight—indeed, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts. 2But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap; 3he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the descendants of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, until they present offerings to the Lord in righteousness. 4Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord as in the days of old and as in former years. Psalm: Canticle 4 or 16 — The Song of Zechariah (Luke 1:68-79) Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; *      he has come to his people and set them free. He has raised up for us a mighty savior, *     born of the house of his servant David. Through his holy prophets he promised of old, that he would save us from our enemies, *     from the hands of all who hate us. He promised to show mercy to our fathers *     and to remember his holy covenant. This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham, *     to set us free from the hands of our enemies, Free to worship him without fear, *     holy and righteous in his sight     all the days of our life. You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, *     for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, To give his people knowledge of salvation *     by the forgiveness of their sins. In the tender compassion of our God *     the dawn from on high shall break upon us, To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the                             shadow of death, *     and to guide our feet into the way of peace. Epistle: Philippians 1:3-11 3I thank my God every time I remember you, 4constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you, 5because of your sharing in the gospel from the first day until now. 6I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Jesus Christ. 7It is right for me to think this way about all of you, because you hold me in your heart, for all of you share in God's grace with me, both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel. 8For God is my witness, how I long for all of you with the compassion of Christ Jesus. 9And this is my prayer, that your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight 10to help you to determine what is best, so that in the day of Christ you may be pure and blameless, 11having produced the harvest of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God. Gospel: Luke 3:1-6 1 In the fifteenth year of the reign of Emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was ruler of Galilee, and his brother Philip ruler of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias ruler of Abilene, 2during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness. 3He went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, 4as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, “The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. 5Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth;6and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'”

Speaking at the United Nations Climate Conference this November, President Biden called climate change “the existential threat to human existence.” And in October, the Department of Defense issued its own warning, noting the effects of climate change are “exacerbating existing risks and creating new security challenges for U.S. interests.” But while the Pentagon takes climate change's risks seriously, it remains one of the worlds largest emitters of greenhouse gasses. This week, we're revisiting another favorite episode from season 1 with Murtaza Hussain, a political and national security reporter for The Intercept, who helped us understand the ecological and health ramifications of America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and how the military's expansive footprint exacerbates the climate crisis. Murtaza Hussain is a journalist for The Intercept whose work focuses on national security, foreign policy, and human rights. He is the author of the 2019 article, “Industrialized Militaries Are a Bigger Part of the Climate Emergency Than You Know.”

Join the email list now: combatlearning.com/newsletter --- In part 2 of 2, Scott Sievewright returns to discuss the opportunity cost of traditional training methods. For those who haven't heard that term used for training, opportunity cost basically refers to the benefits to learning that we're potentially missing by spending time that *could* have been used on live training methods to do dead, formal, or isolated training methods instead. We also talk about the problem with copying elite coaches and how our biases surrounding them has screwed up talent development pipelines inside of combat sports and led to resistance to new and scientific ideas in training methodology.

Join the email list now: combatlearning.com/newsletter --- Today we're joined by Scott Sievewright, host of the Primal MMA podcast and an MMA striking coach who teaches a striking program almost entirely on an Ecological Dynamics or constraints-led approach to motor learning. In part 1 of 2, Scott and I work through why Ecological Dynamics is so hard to get the hang of. We have a discussion on how to balance representativeness and safety in training, since greater levels of representativeness make training more like competition and thus more risky. We also talk about when more isolated training methods might be warranted.

Serbia has been rocked by recent, mass blockades in the streets to challenge changes to the Law of Expropriation which would allow the state to take farm lands and other private property to open space for constructing mega projects and extraction like the proposed Rio Tinto lithium and jadarite mine in the Jadar Valley. This is building off of earlier ecological protests in 2021 against the building of private mini hydroelectric power plants along rivers in Stara Planina (aka the Balkan mountain range) threatening access to and health of drinking water. These protest in December forced the 12-year ruling Right-neoliberal SNS Party to backtrack and modify plans for the Expropriation and public Referendum laws and put an undefined pause on Rio Tinto's mine. For the hour, we speak with Marko about those protests, the influence of western NGOs in politics, the Linglong Tire Factory scandal, labor and solidarity organizing with the Anarcho-Syndicalist Initiative of which hes a member and which is a part of the Internatioal Workers Association IWA-AIT and challenges faced by leftist anti-authoritarian organizers in former Yugoslavia. He also speaks about his experience of the covid pandemic in Serbia, the politics of anti-lockdown protests, anti-vaxers and the far right in general around Serbia, the impact of US-born neo-nazi Rob Rundo of the Rise Above Movement and Media2Rise who has returned to Serbia despite being deported to Bosnia and has been organizing fight clubs, international ties and solidarity between various fascistic groups around Belgrade.

Brett always says that we are members of a family which are members of a tribe which are members of a nation etc..The point is that we are all nested in a spider web of interconnected systems.

For centuries, the objective of gardening has been to tame the wild, and that led to many horticultural practices that are disastrous for wildlife and the ecosystem at large. The objective of ecological gardening, a new movement, is to create beautiful spaces in concert with nature rather than trying to overcome nature. To explain the value of ecological gardening and how to implement it yourself to create beauty and biodiversity, my guest this week is gardener, consultant and writer Matt Rees-Warren.

In this episode Nina talks about the recent protests introduced by Serbia's government recently.

Todd Cavallo is the vingneron, with his partner Crystal Cornish, of Wild Arc Farm in the Hudson Valley of New York. This is a dense, practical and at times technical interview about being a thoughtful ecological producer of natural wine in the Northeast US. I I was taking notes. Among so many other helpful nuggets in this interview, you're going to get some amazing tips about how to produce a natural piquette from the guy who started the piquette revolution. I love that this conversation started with bees, chickens, deer, eagles, beetles, grubs, composted chicken manure, and gardens. Once we begin to understand that the best wine grows from a diverse and vibrant ecosystem, the more we see that these seemingly tertiary topics are actually central to understanding and producing wine. I love that Todd and Crystal are thinking about NOT planting more grapes, but rather helping established grape producers switch to organic practices. I love that Todd is extremely thoughtful not just about what kind of sprays hes using in his vineyards, but who produces them, how often they must be applied and what that means for his carbon footprint, and how to spray more effectively. I love Todd's emphasis on using local ingredients, including promoting the use of local materials for fermentation vessels… which involved a discussion about the American Chestnut, which, if you don't know about, will be a great intro to what has been called the greatest ecological disaster in history. Wild Arc Farms was recently selected to produce a wine for Patagonia's new line of natural wines.  https://www.wildarcfarm.com/ Sponsor: https://www.centralaswine.com/

Ecological competition began as slow arms races. Predators evolved to hunt; prey evolved to defend themselves. Each improvement was small, barely shifting the odds of survival, nature remained in equilibrium until the dawn ... The post Megefauna: Baz Edmeades appeared first on Author Hour.

The volume, Performing Environmentalisms: Expressive Culture and Ecological Change, edited by John Holmes McDowell, Katherine Borland, Rebecca Dirksen, and Sue Tuohy (University of Illinois Press, 2021), illustrates the power of performing diverse environmentalisms to highlight alternative ways of human beingness to improve the prospects for maintaining life on the planet under threat. In the interview, I spoke with editors John McDowell and Rebecca Dirksen, who detail how poetics and performance represent strategies in managing human and nonhuman entanglements with contemporary, wicked problems (e.g., threats to bicultural diversity and rampant environmental degradation, unresolved colonial histories, and capitalist pressures). Understanding diverse environmentalisms as embodiments of knowing demonstrates “the power of performances and expressive culture to move people to action: resisting, negotiating, and finding solutions to environmental problems. These are not only performances of diverse environmentalisms, but sources of inspiration and strength for us all” (261).  Performing Environmentalisms is an edited volume of ten essays broken up into three parts: Perspectives on Diverse Environmentalisms, Performing the Sacred, and Environmental Attachments. The compilation demonstrates how environmentalisms as artistic expression serve to curate tradition and create space for cultural sustainability. The array of case studies generates new strategies that incorporate a diverse set of peoples—injecting their knowledge, experiences, and practices into global conversations. Performing Environmentalisms: Expressive Culture and Ecological Change is a must read for anyone interested in investigating how creative, alternative sets of environmentalisms interpreted though traditional knowledges are integral to navigating local and global climate and ecological issues.

First Sunday of Advent The Collect: Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Old Testament: Jeremiah 33:14-16 14The days are surely coming, says the Lord, when I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 15In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch to spring up for David; and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. 16In those days Judah will be saved and Jerusalem will live in safety. And this is the name by which it will be called: “The Lord is our righteousness.” Psalm: Psalm 25:1-10 1 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul;    my God, I put my trust in you; *        let me not be humiliated,        nor let my enemies triumph over me. 2 Let none who look to you be put to shame; *        let the treacherous be disappointed in their schemes. 3 Show me your ways, O Lord, *        and teach me your paths. 4 Lead me in your truth and teach me, *        for you are the God of my salvation;        in you have I trusted all the day long. 5 Remember, O Lord, your compassion and love, *        for they are from everlasting. 6 Remember not the sins of my youth and my transgressions; *        remember me according to your love        and for the sake of your goodness, O Lord. 7 Gracious and upright is the Lord; *        therefore he teaches sinners in his way. 8 He guides the humble in doing right *        and teaches his way to the lowly. 9 All the paths of the Lord are love and faithfulness *        to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies. 10 For your Name's sake, O Lord, *        forgive my sin, for it is great. Epistle: 1 Thessalonians 3:9-13 9How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy that we feel before our God because of you? 10Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you face to face and restore whatever is lacking in your faith. 11Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus direct our way to you. 12And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, just as we abound in love for you. 13And may he so strengthen your hearts in holiness that you may be blameless before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints. Gospel: Luke 21:25-36 25“There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on the earth distress among nations confused by the roaring of the sea and the waves. 26People will faint from fear and foreboding of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 27Then they will see ‘the Son of Man coming in a cloud' with power and great glory. 28Now when these things begin to take place, stand up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.” 29Then he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees;30as soon as they sprout leaves you can see for yourselves and know that summer is already near. 31So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. 32Truly I tell you, this generation will not pass away until all things have taken place. 33Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. 34“Be on guard so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that day catch you unexpectedly, 35like a trap. For it will come upon all who live on the face of the whole earth. 36Be alert at all times, praying that you may have the strength to escape all these things that will take place, and to stand before the Son of Man.”

Feast of Christ the King The Collect: Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things in your well-beloved Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords: Mercifully grant that the peoples of the earth, divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and brought together under his most gracious rule; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Old Testament: 2 Samuel 23:1-7 1Now these are the last words of David: The oracle of David, son of Jesse,    the oracle of the man whom God exalted, the anointed of the God of Jacob,    the favourite of the Strong One of Israel: 2 The spirit of the Lord speaks through me,    his word is upon my tongue. 3 The God of Israel has spoken,    the Rock of Israel has said to me: One who rules over people justly,    ruling in the fear of God, 4 is like the light of morning,    like the sun rising on a cloudless morning,    gleaming from the rain on the grassy land. 5 Is not my house like this with God?    For he has made with me an everlasting covenant,    ordered in all things and secure. Will he not cause to prosper    all my help and my desire? 6 But the godless are all like thorns that are thrown away;    for they cannot be picked up with the hand; 7 to touch them one uses an iron bar    or the shaft of a spear.    And they are entirely consumed in fire on the spot. Psalm: Psalm 132:1-13 (14-19) 1 Lord, remember David, *        and all the hardships he endured; 2 How he swore an oath to the Lord *        and vowed a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob: 3 “I will not come under the roof of my house,” *        nor climb up into my bed; 4 I will not allow my eyes to sleep, *        nor let my eyelids slumber; 5 Until I find a place for the Lord, *        a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.” 6 “The ark! We heard it was in Ephratah; *        we found it in the fields of Jearim. 7 Let us go to God's dwelling place; *        let us fall upon our knees before his footstool.” 8 Arise, O Lord, into your resting-place, *        you and the ark of your strength. 9 Let your priests be clothed with righteousness; *        let your faithful people sing with joy. 10 For your servant David's sake, *        do not turn away the face of your Anointed. 11 The Lord has sworn an oath to David; *        in truth, he will not break it: 12 “A son, the fruit of your body *        will I set upon your throne. 13 If your children keep my covenant    and my testimonies that I shall teach them, *        their children will sit upon your throne for evermore.” 14 [For the Lord has chosen Zion; *        he has desired her for his habitation: 15 “This shall be my resting-place for ever; *        here will I dwell, for I delight in her. 16 I will surely bless her provisions, *        and satisfy her poor with bread. 17 I will clothe her priests with salvation, *        and her faithful people will rejoice and sing. 18 There will I make the horn of David flourish; *        I have prepared a lamp for my Anointed. 19 As for his enemies, I will clothe them with shame; *        but as for him, his crown will shine.”] Epistle: Revelation 1:4b-8 4 Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, 5and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and freed us from our sins by his blood, 6and made us to be a kingdom, priests serving his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 7 Look! He is coming with the clouds;    every eye will see him, even those who pierced him;    and on his account all the tribes of the earth will wail. So it is to be. Amen. 8 ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega', says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. Gospel: John 18:33-37 33 Then Pilate entered the headquarters again, summoned Jesus, and asked him, ‘Are you the King of the Jews?' 34Jesus answered, ‘Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?' 35Pilate replied, ‘I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?' 36Jesus answered, ‘My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.' 37Pilate asked him, ‘So you are a king?' Jesus answered, ‘You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.'

In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Dr. Jemima Pierre, Haiti/Americas Coordinator for the Black Alliance for Peace to discuss the ecological impact of so-called “peacekeeping” missions from the United Nations to Haiti, the role of these missions in sparking the cholera epidemic, how such actions must stem from a denial of Hatian humanity and the racism inherent to imperialism itself, and the reality of so-called peacekeeping missions.

If you've been following along this season, here's a recap; we introduced the notion of skill, defined what it is to be skillful, identified types of skills, based on their constituent parts, discussed the merits of whole, part or sequential practice, and finally, explored emotional affect and its impact on skill.  Ok, now what?   Now that we know what to do and how to practice it, what type of cueing and feedback are necessary in order to master it?  Wait a sec, do we actually need any cueing or feedback?  If so, why, how much and when? How does it change from beginner to expert?  What does it look like when you need to get individuals of different strengths, sizes and capabilities to work together to accomplish a uniform outcome?  This episode examines cueing and feedback from fresh perspectives. This week we're joined by Dr. Nich Lee Parker, Head Coach of Columbia University's Men's Lightweight Rowing team, and Gregory Youdan MA, MS, Visiting Researcher at Brown University and Latsky Dance board member.  Together, we push beyond counting reps and tired cliches and dive into research and personal approaches and observations gained from the collective experience of working with individuals, from professional athletes to dancers with hemiplegic cerebral palsy.   In this episode we discuss: Greg and Nich's take on the hardest skill in sport Can you acquire a motor skill without feedback? Movement as the skill vs moving to achieve a goal The application of cueing and feedback as a function of stage of learning Variability in movement Use of cues and feedback to allow for error Considering safety of the performer with the use of cueing and feedback Glossary: Augmented Feedback - providing information to a performer which is supplemental to feedback they are receiving from internal sensory mechanisms Knowledge of Performance -  a category of augmented feedback, providing information about a movement process Knowledge of Results -  a category of augmented feedback, providing information about the outcome of a movement process Motor Learning - The degree to which a skillful movement is retained and can be transferred to different tasks Motor Performance - The degree to which skillful movement occurs, without consideration for retention or transfer Verbal Cue - short, concise phrases that direct a performer's attention to important environmental, psychological or biomechanical characteristics of performing a movement References: Newell, K. M., & Jordan, K. (2007). Task constraints and movement organization: A common language. In W. E. Davis & G. D. Broadhead (Eds.), Ecological task analysis and movement (pp. 5–23). Human Kinetics.

Ecological horticulture is one of the most important methodologies that gardeners can adopt to combat the loss of biodiversity, but the term is still unfamiliar to many. To explain ecological horticulture and how to practice it, my guest this week is self-described “ecologically obsessed” director of horticulture at Brooklyn Bridge Park, Rebecca McMackin.
