Every December, Dakotas commemorate the executions of 38 men following the U.S.-Dakota War of 1862. President Abraham Lincoln ordered the hanging of the warriors on December 26, 1862 in Mankato, Minnesota. Two other chiefs were hanged three years later. The commemoration draws attention to the events leading up to the hangings that aren’t often included in history books about the years of broken promises, oppression and imprisonment by the U.S. Government that led to starvation and other hardships for the tribes. The pandemic has cancelled the annual 330-mile memorial horseback ride from the Lower Brule Reservation in South Dakota to Mankato. We’ll take time to remember this tragic chapter in history.

The question we must ask ourselves is, “What does Santa Clause have to do with the birth of Christ?” Better yet, “Does Santa Clause complement or compete against the true reason for the season?”

There are plans to turn Sydney’s CBD into a fortress for New Year’s Eve, new government COVID-safe plans reveal.Every December 31 since 1976, Sydney Harbour has been lit up by an increasingly expensive and impressive fireworks spectacular which attracts tens of thousands to the city.But as many look forward to saying goodbye to the train wreck of a year that has been 2020, only a select few will be given access to this year’s event, with the NSW Government limiting both entry and vantage points.It is understood tickets will be needed to gain access, with The Daily Telegraph reporting that the best viewing points will be reserved exclusively for frontline workers and firefighters to thank them for their service to the state this year.With bushfires and COVID-19 having an unprecedented impact on the state, the NSW Government is looking at a ballot process to award spots to a limited number of spots to view the fireworks from.The 9pm fireworks have also been cancelled with only the midnight spectacular going ahead.Those who miss out on a ticket, however, will be able to view the fireworks from the comfort of their lounge room.“2020 has been a tough year for everyone,” NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian told The Daily Telegraph.“New Year’s Eve celebrations will be a symbol of hope and optimism for next year.“It is also an opportunity to thank people across NSW who have stepped up during this difficult time.“Key areas of the Harbour will be reserved for frontline workers only.”Aside from vantage points, it is understood that access to the wider CBD will also be restricted, with ticketholders to pre-booked venues and hospitality workers needing to also apply for a permit to access the city.While more details on the New Year’s Eve plans are set to be determined this month, it is likely the Sydney Opera House, Mrs Macquarie’s Chair and Campbells Cove may be the locations the Government will dedicate for frontline workers.

This year, we sat down with Alan Day and Joe Weiss to talk about the band, growing up in Worcester, and how they go about booking the bands to play with them. This is also the most we have ever talked about seltzer in an episode! Give it a spin!

Hi everyone! We’re back to close out this abbreviated week, featuring some of the films we caught while on break. We’ll be continuing the next two weeks catching up on Golden Globe and Oscar nominees, which includes today’s bonus review from Andrew Campbell. I’ll admit, I’ve been fascinated by 1917 ever since seeing the behind the scenes video playing during the pre-show at our local theater. I’ve also been a fan of the long-take, especially BIRDMAN OR (THE UNEXPECTED VIRTUE OF IGNORANCE) which I caught in the theater after a particularly dark episode in my life. I’ve also now become a fan of the one-take, especially after Andrew began pestering me to watch the super-incredible ONE CUT OF THE DEAD (Episode #625). So, it’s only because he introduced me to that masterpiece that I allowed him to cover this one-take film. Check out his review for that film here, along with his reviews for JOJO RABBIT (Episode #631), PARASITE (Episode #628), and KNIVES OUT (Episode #652). Before the review, we’ll have a promo from our good friends at the Ocho Duro Parlay Hour. Every week, the ODPH Crew cover a massive spectrum of topics, from sports to films to comics to television.

Joseph was kind enough to lend me the keys two days in a row. I took in a number of powerful films during December, mostly working to catch up on the major 2019 titles that I had missed out on during the year ahead of awards season. However, the one film that really blew me away has yet to be released nationwide. Every December, the studios like to play the game where they open their prestige pictures in at least some minimal way that allows them to be eligible for the Golden Globes and Oscars in the opening weeks of the following year. Today’s film certainly fits that bill with press screenings in early December, DVD screeners mid-month, and a Christmas-day limited release in just a couple major cities. I usually see this tactic used for well-made but unadventurous films calculated to appeal to the older, predominantly white male members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences who hand out the Oscars. Let’s see if this one is awards bait... or something more. Today’s movie is 1917, written by Sam Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns and directed by Mendes. 1917 is an epic war story that follows two British soldiers, Schofield (George MacKay) and Blake (Dean-Charles Chapman) as they navigate a French battlefield at the height of World War I. The pair are given orders to deliver a life-and-death message to a general stationed miles away. Notably, the film unfolds as a single, uninterrupted shot, following their journey through the deadly terrain. 1917 is far from the first film to present itself as a single take and, though there are a few points where Mendes surely did some splicing, it pulls off the feat with utter perfection. Back in 2014, Alejandro González Iñárritu took down the Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director for BIRDMAN, which took the form of a two-hour uninterrupted shot weaving through the backstage and surrounding streets of a Broadway show. I remember being suitably wowed by the gimmick and impressed by several of the acting performances, notably Edward Norton in a supporting role. Yet, just five years later, the film seems to have entirely faded from the cultural conversation. As cool as it was at the time, the single take really didn’t add much to the story other than giving it a boost of kinetic energy. I mean, the film is set inside of a Broadway play and what are most plays if not two-hour single-take stories performed nightly anyway. Anyhow, we’re not here to dunk on Birdman. I just feel like if you are going to make your film look like one continuous take, you had better have good reason. With 1917, Mendes absolutely does, delivering an unforgettable masterwork. Without giving away anything more than you’ll see in the trailer (and I 100% advise against watching the trailer), we follow these soldiers through packed trenches, bombed-out war zones, grassy fields, and abandoned farms. I can’t say for certain that the terrain presented in the film is geographically accurate to France in general or to any World War I battlefield in particular, but I’ll buy the world that Mendes has built. No other war film I have ever seen has come closer to delivering on the realism and horrors of war than 1917. Without the luxury of cuts, the camera is allowed to linger and swoop in all directions to reveal the world that surrounds Blake and Schofield. Multiple moments took my breath away and quickened my pulse as the lens pulled back to reveal the larger setting in a way where cutting to a wide-angle shot would not have had nearly the same impact. Though the film is fully engrossing, during both of my viewings I could not stop trying to figure out how Mendes was able to get so many stunning shots with such flawless transitions. What makes 1917 fantastic? From a technical perspective, the film stands on its own. Even if the characters didn’t speak a single word, I would be in love with the film. Sam Mendes is coming off two Bond films with SKYFALL and SPECTRE, where he proved he can direct action. However, it has been 10 years since he directed anything but Bond, so it’s easy to forget that his prior three films - AWAY WE GO, REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, and JARHEAD - were all very personal stories with memorable characters and powerful performances. MacKay and Chapman are excellent in 1917 and the secondary characters are solid in limited duty as well, though I did find some of the celebrity cameos a bit jarring in a film that cast two relative unknowns as the co-leads. 1917 is a transcendent war film told by a visionary director. Fans of DUNKIRK (Episode #331) and THE THIN RED LINE will love this film, but you do not have to enjoy war films to appreciate 1917. Rotten Tomatoes: 90% (CERTIFIED FRESH) Metacritic: 80 One Movie Punch: 10/10 1917 (2019) is rated R and opens in theaters nationwide this Friday. I’ll be back next Friday for THE DEATH OF DICK LONG, a tale of friendship gone wrong. But before you get hung up on that ridiculous title, know this: A24 is distributing the film. A24 absolutely killed it in 2019 with nearly two dozen eclectic and acclaimed films, including the likes of UNCUT GEMS, MIDSOMMAR, and yesterday’s reviewed film IN FABRIC. Is DICK LONG just a juvenile joke or will it live up to A24’s standards? We’ll find out together. See you then!

Every December, homes all over the world open their Bibles to read the nativity story found in the first few verses of the book of Luke, chapter 2. Yet, there's more to the story beyond those first few verses. What would we learn if we read the rest of Luke's second chapter? We invite you to listen in as we view the Christmas story through the lens of the other characters in Luke 2—the shepherds, the older prophet and lady, as well as a young boy. Join us as Pastor Chad Stuart shares his message titled, "Three Revelations, One Response."

Every December, parents start telling their children that Santa is watching. Parents tell children they need to behave to make it onto the Nice List. No one wants to be on Santa’s Naughty List! But, isn’t this a lie? Steph and Beth have an honest conversation about the role Santa Claus plays in our culture. Steph says Santa is a lie. Beth says Santa is a metaphor. They talk about how they viewed Santa as children, what it was like for them to find out the truth about Santa Claus, and what role Santa plays in their life now. Steph talks about the time her parents convinced her Santa was real by finding a piece of his torn Santa suit in the fireplace. Beth confesses to deceiving her kids with fake “From Santa” labels, and more. Also, which dessert is the holiest? Should we be leaving Angel Food Cake for Santa instead of cookies? If we were to leave a dessert for Jesus what would we leave? Listen in as Beth explains why Steph shouldn’t leave ham for Jesus! Full transcript and show notes here: https://dospod.us/e17

EPISODE 305 There's a special kind of magic to Christmas in New York City, from that colossal Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center to the fanciful holiday displays in department store windows. But in the past three decades, a new holiday tradition has grown in popularity and in a surprising quarter -- the quiet residential neighborhood of Dyker Heights in Brooklyn. Every December many residents of this area of southwestern Brooklyn ornament their homes in a wild and brilliant parade of Christmas lights and decorations -- from gigantic animatronic Santas to armies of toy soldiers. This electrical spectacle draws thousands of tourists a year, attracted to this imaginative (and often mind-blowing) display of Christmas spirit. In this episode, we look at the lights of Dyker Heights from a few angles. First we explore the history of Christmas lighting in New York City and how such displays, at first mere promotional uses of Edison lighting, brought Christmas into the secular public sphere. Then we look at the history of Dyker Heights, tracing back to one of the first Dutch settlements and a neighborhood which has developed into a stable Italian community. Finally, we send our researcher and producer Julia Press on an excursion into Dyker Heights to reveal the origin of the Christmas display extravaganza. Featuring an interview with one of the residents who started it all! boweryboyshistory.com   A big thank you to Lucy Spata and Tony Muia of A Slice of Brooklyn Bus Tours for allowing us to record at the synagogue. And of course thanks to Julia Press for contributing to this show and helping up over the past few months. Please check out her website for more links to her past work. Support the show.

Red Christmas (2016) and Black Christmas (2006). Get it?? DO YOU GET WHY WE CALLED IT 50 SHADES OF CHRISTMAS??? If it isn't blazingly obvious, it's because both of these movies have colours in them. That's the level of humour we're working with for this month's first Christmas episode. Every December, Simone and Chad find the worst Christmas movies available and review them for your listening pleasure. This week, to ease everyone in, they watched to Christmas horror movies. Though both are terrible, they allowed the team to think and talk about highly divisive and political topics... after all, what's Christmas without politics?

A discussion with Alex Fialho, Yale graduate student, and Jake Gagne, Programs Fellow at the Yale University Art Gallery. On December 5, the Gallery is commemorating the 30th annual "Day without Art," with a film screening and panel discussion. Every December 1, galleries and museums around the world cover selected works of art with black cloths to pay homage to the many artists who have lost their lives in the AIDS epidemic and to show how the world has been diminished by the disease. https://artgallery.yale.edu/calendar/events/film-screening-and-discussion-day-without-art-30-years

This year isn't over yet. It's not over, and if we keep looking to the future and making plans and setting goals and dreaming about the next thing, we are going to miss the moments right in front of us. Today we are all going to take a pause and just remind ourselves to be present and enjoy the last days of this year to their fullest. Every December early on, I send out an email to my email list. It's the same email every year. I send it over and over. And every time I do my inbox gets flooded with, “thank you”s and “I'm crying” and “I needed this.” So I decided today I just wanted to read that email to you. This might be my shortest podcast episode ever, with reason, because I want you to come back and listen to this encouragement as many times as you need to between now and the end of the year. This pep talk is for you. For the full transcript, click here.   Resources from this episode: Sign up for Nancy’s Weekly Emails An Angel’s Story, by Max Lucado “Tree”mote

In this inaugural episode, our show hosts (Rocco Sileo and Jodi Gilano) introduce themselves and unpack what the theme of the VN² PowerUp Podcast is all about: a rebellion against traditional network marketing recruiting strategies.   Every December, about 16% of the american adult population indicate that they intend to start a business in the new year. That’s the equivalent of 44 million people (See the link below if you want to reference these numbers).  Statistically, only 1% of those people will actually take the plunge. Why does everyone else stay on the sidelines?   There are three barriers needed to be removed in order to start a successful business: An idea for a product or service Financial resources A great marketing strategy   For years, the network marketing industry thrived because it removed all three of those barriers.  However, within the past decade, the marketing strategy for the industry has unraveled because most people’s warm market have turned cold on them.     Instead of spending a ton of energy trying to figure out why this has happened, Rocco and Jodi spend the bulk of the time in this episode exploring a new strategy in the age of social media.  Once you learn this new strategy, you will be able to unlock the floodgates for the above mentioned 44 million people who like to be business owners. Listen and learn how to trade in your old warm market list for a new list of PowerBase connections.   Link: 44 Million People   Stay connected with us for future content by subscribing to this podcast!

Head here to grab your copy of The 1% Rule Now! http://a.co/6H8uWlH The 1% Rule was designed to answer three core questions: Why do some people seem to achieve massive success in everything they do, while others can’t even get out of their own way?

What are the core principles, mindsets, habits, and rituals of those who execute ruthlessly, and those who sit on the sidelines pondering? …through exploring these answers over the last decade the core principles, strategies and proven framework of The 1% Rule were born and are now yours today.

Every December is a wonderful opportunity to access the last 12 months that have been. It provides a chance for you to review your year. Let me ask you this question today. "If you were on your death bed and you had one day to live, what would be your greatest regrets right now?" It’s so important to challenge yourself with this question from time to time to prevent yourself from stagnancy and living a mediocre live of survival mode and merely going through the motions. Yet every day I speak to women who are in survival mode, with little to no life force energy and they’re feeling incredibly dissatisfied in many if not all areas of their life yet they are choosing to stay in that very place and this makes me very sad. So again I ask you this question today: What would be your greatest regret right now if you had one day to live?

Every December, we celebrate the season of giving. On this episode, Matt Goren and Michael Thomas talk about folks who could use some charity - those experiencing homelessness. Learn about where to give - or get - help. Plus, Danny Kofke is back to share a Wealthy Person.

About three weeks ago a friend and fellow Seacret agent, that’s S.E.A.C.R.E.T agent, not Secret Agent, from Canada, Nicole Humphries, was visiting Cairns and while she was here she ran a workshop on leadership. She shared some awesome information and I especially liked her comments about goal setting. “You don’t have to hit every goal, you just need to be moving in the right direction”. Another topic she discussed, which really stood out and had an impact on me was when she discussed listing your successes and why this was important to do. It’s really easy to focus on the things we’ve done wrong, especially the most recent ones, but we tend to forget we have far more successes than failures in life and we need to start writing these down and reading them on a regular basis. Where's my medal?  Every December we take a trip down to the Gold Coast to catch up with family and as part of our annual holiday, we go to the Southport lagoon, grab a kilo of prawns and eat them on the beach. The weather is always perfect and we have a bit of fun feeding the seagulls and pelicans. Anyway about four-years ago I noticed this young kid about 4-years of age slowly make his way towards the water. I had seen him earlier and knew he was there with his parents, but they had their backs turned away from the water, so they were oblivious he was about to go for a swim.   As he entered the water he quickly disappeared. At that point, I realised no one else noticed him enter the water except for me, and there was no lifeguard on duty, so I got up, went into the water and pull the silly little bugger out to safety. I gave him a bit of a kick in the pants and told him not to come back in the water without his parents. Twenty minutes later his younger brother did the exact same thing and once again no one noticed but me. I looked back now and I realise I save two lives that day, and I jokingly said to my wife at the time, “where’s my medal, where’s the newspaper and television reporter when you need one”?  And her reply, “you should just feel good about what you did today”, and she was right I did feel good. Was that a success?   So let me ask you the question, would you say that was a success? I think you’d agree that it was, but I have not given that day much thought until I started writing a list of my past successes, and these are the types of events that need to be added to this list. In contrast, in 2003 my wife and I entered and won the Queensland Telstra Business Award, which was a pretty big deal at the time and after winning this award it was splashed all over the newspaper, both state and locally. We received a lot of accolades, but as the years past so did our memories of the event and how we felt when our names were announced that night. Once again this was a success that needed to be added to our list of successes. Relive the emotion  Because I’ve started this list of successes I’m now reliving and feeling the emotions from these events in my life, But why am I telling you this? I’m telling you these two stories because we all have moments in life that go unnoticed and others that are highly visible, but in the end, it’s up to us to remind ourselves of what we have done and achieved because no one else will do it.

Every December, Jack gets sick because, well, he's allergic to Christmas (he's actually allergic to pine). So, while we normally drink each week, he's extra loopy in this one because there's a bunch of cold meds pumping through his system. Now that we got that out of the way, let's have some fun ... NEWS HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK: “The Riverdale” spinoff series, “Sabrina,” has been picked up for two seasons by Netflix after originally being developed at The CW. The network ended up passing on it because of the “Charmed” reboot that is currently in development there. Bryan Fuller and Michael Green have exited “American Gods” over creative differences. Now Kristin Chenoweth is saying she may not return for another season. Season 4 of “Black Mirror” will premiere on Netflix on December 29th. Thanks to the backlash inspired by the the TruTV documentary, “The Trouble with Apu” — which points to minstrelry in the sense that a white actor is portraying an Indian character — Hank Azaria acknowledges the issue and says The Simpsons is “thinking about” changing how Apu is portrayed.

Every December 31st, millions of people around the world resolve to quit a bad habit like nail biting, eating junk food, drinking too much or even procrastinating, but, by January 2nd, most people have already given up. In fact, only about 8 percent of those who make New Year’s resolutions actually keep them, according to the University of Scranton. Dr. James Claiborn and Nkem Ndefo join us to talk about how habits get hardwired in the brain, and what we can do to break our unwanted habits.

Every December the decorations return – banners with doves, cards declaring “Peace on Earth”…  And yet every year the headlines never change:  hardship, loss, injustice… How do we come to terms with the contradiction?  Is the biblical promise that God’s shalom (peace, rest, wholeness) is taking over creation to be believed?  Or is it (as it often […]
