What is a Mariathon?Every May, Radio Maria stations all over the world fundraise for each other, gathering financial support for another Radio Maria somewhere in the world. We call this the Mariathon. This year (2025) Radio Maria England gives thanks for the riches of the Catholic faith in the Philippines which spills out into our parishes here in the UK with the presence of strong Filipino communities that serve so generously. Supporting Radio Maria in the Philippines is a way for us to give back and support the faith in the Philippines, a vast country with a thriving faith but where many do not have regular access to the sacraments and a Catholic radio can do a lot of wonderful work.

The planting possibilities in May are essentially a sneak peak at what's coming in June (Spoiler alert: It's lots of GOOD stuff!). But we're not all going to be putting the same plants in our garden this month. What grows like crazy this month in one zone might totally fail in another. In this episode, I'm breaking down what you should plant in May for cool, mild, and warm climates. Whether it's still crisp and cool where you live or hot and humid, I've got at least 5 plants that you can plant this month to make the most of the upcoming summer season. NOTE: You're in a cool climate if you only recently passed or still haven't passed your last frost date (ex. Chicago), a mild climate if your last frost date was a couple of weeks ago (ex. Nashville), and a warm climate if you're already gearing up for hot temps (ex. Houston).

Oscar-nominated Hungarian filmmaker Ildiko Enyedi is celebrated for her bold, unclassifiable features (like the Cannes-winning sci-fi MY 20TH CENTURY).

Filmmaker Joanna Arnow's shorts and docs are funny, fearless looks at people at their most excruciatingly vulnerable — especially herself. In her debut feature, she ratchets up the deadpan humor to tell the story of a woman navigating the alternately mundane and surreal worlds of work, family… and BDSM relationships. Arnow sits down with host Rico Gagliano to talk about her characters' crossed wires, why pouring soup is funny, and what happens when you cast your parents as themselves.Every May, the population of sleepy Cannes, France triples — as film pros and cinephiles from around the globe convene for the two-week movie-thon called the Cannes Film Festival.

Belgian rapper-turned-auteur Baloji was born in the Republic of Congo — where for some, his name literally means “demon.” So it's no surprise that his mind-bending first feature OMEN is all about characters society considers cursed.

L.A. filmmaker Weston Razooli's debut feature RIDDLE OF FIRE is like if The Goonies were directed by Francois Truffaut — a tale of three modern kids on an old-fashioned adventure in the woods, facing down a family of witches. Razooli tells host Rico Gagliano about his D&D-soaked childhood in Utah, how he cast the kids… and the afterparty following the film's Cannes premiere, which sounds as magical — and kinda dangerous — as his movie.Every May, the population of sleepy Cannes, France triples — as film pros and cinephiles from around the globe convene for the two-week movie-thon called the Cannes Film Festival.

In 2019, Brazil's Kleber Mendonça Filho won the Jury Prize at Cannes with his co-directed movie BACURAU. This year he returned to the fest to premiere a documentary about movies. Or more specifically, about the places we watch them.In the second installment of our mini-season of conversations taped on location at Cannes '23, Filho tells host Rico Gagliano about PICTURES OF GHOSTS. It's his look back at the movie palaces in his home town of Recife, and how he's come to terms with how they — and lots of beloved city spaces — inevitably vanished.Every May, the population of sleepy Cannes, France triples — as film pros and cinephiles from around the globe convene for the two-week movie-thon called the Cannes Film Festival.

To kick off our mini-season of conversations taped on location at the 2023 Cannes film festival, host Rico Gagliano meets up with legendary director Wim Wenders (Buena Vista Social Club; Paris, Texas). The subject of their conversation: Wenders' new 3D documentary Anselm, which plunges the audience into the work of German fine artist Anselm Kiefer. Wenders explains why he loves making art about artists, and how Kiefer's dark, often confrontational pieces... are actually childlike.Every May, the population of sleepy Cannes, France triples — as film pros and cinephiles from around the globe convene for the two-week movie-thon called the Cannes Film Festival.

Every May marks Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month in the United States. The occasion was created to celebrate both Asian and Pacific diasporas — but the “PI” in “AAPI” is often erased despite the term's intention to include them. As the month comes to an end, Kristian Fanene Schmidt, the executive director and co-founder of the Pasifika Entertainment Advancement Komiti (PEAK), joins us to talk about how Pacific Islander communities are represented in entertainment — and how their diverse cultures and identities expand far beyond Western labels.In headlines: The founder of the far-right militia group Oath Keepers was sentenced to 18 years in prison for his role in the January 6th riots, the Supreme Court ruled to limit the EPA's application of the Clean Water Act, and the official Barbie Movie Soundtrack dropped just in time for summer.Plus, V Spehar, host of Under The Desk News on TikTok and the podcast V Interesting, joins us to share a headline they've been following this week.Show Notes:Pasifika Entertainment Advancement Komiti – https://peakpasifika.org/What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastCrooked Coffee is officially here.

Every May, we explore and celebrate the concept of motherhood: the incredibly loving act of caring for another. And while we may not all be mothers in the traditional sense, we all have experience with our own sense of mothering and what that conjures up for us. Today, I'm sharing three books (and a few bonus recommendations, too!) that explore the concept of motherhood. One book you won't expect, one book is brand new and one book will make you think about mothering in a way you likely never have. You'll find the show notes for this episode here. Love this podcast and want more? Consider this your invitation to join my Get Lit(erate) Patreon community! Each month, we take a deep dive into one bookish theme and work to bring it to life in our own lives.

I bonds were one of the hottest investments of 2022. But lower interest rates have one listener wondering if they are still worth a spot in her portfolio? On this episode, I'll break down what I bonds are, why they took off in 2022, if they are still worth it in 2023, and potential investment alternatives. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... What is an I Bond? [1:40] Why I bonds were one of the hottest investments of 2022 [3:50] The benefits and restrictions of I bonds [5:55] How to buy I bonds [8:34] Are I bonds still a good investment? [9:55] Exploring I bond alternatives [12:18] Breaking down I bonds Before we can determine if I bonds are still a sound investment in 2023, we need to understand what they are. An I bond is a U.S. government savings bond. Government bonds are considered one of the safest investments you can make because of the U.S. democratic system's stability and payment history. We have never defaulted on any of our payments. The “I” in I bond stands for inflation, and the interest you receive from the bond has two components. The first part is a fixed rate determined when you purchase the bond. Currently, the fixed rate is sitting at 0.40%. The second part of the bond is tied to a measurement of inflation known as the Consumer Price Index Urban (CPI-U). Every May 1st and November 1st, an interest rate is determined for the I bond based on changes in the CPI-U over the previous six months. Adding both numbers together will determine what percentage of interest you will earn for the year. What are the pros and cons? There are several perks to investing in I bonds. You don't pay interest on the bonds while they are deferred. Meaning the interest that you receive just gets added to the value of the 30-year bond. They also typically have a higher interest rate than most checking or savings accounts. And if you use them for education, there is no federal tax on the interest you pay when you redeem them. However, I bonds do have their fair share of restrictions. One of the biggest sticking points is that you can only purchase up to $10,000 in I bonds per Social Security number or Tax ID per year. The lowest denomination being $25. The only way to get around that limit is by putting up to $5000 into I bonds directly through your federal tax return. Other restrictions include the inability to sell I bonds until you've owned them for one year. And if you sell them in under 5 years, you will owe a penalty of 3 months' interest. So are I bonds still worth it? Listen to this episode to find out!

And during Communion Season, (I dislike that term), you hear lots of talk about getting the house painted and decorated, you hear a lot about dinner plans in hotels, you hear a lot about how dress fittings, hair appointments and in some cases spray tans - and that's not the parents. When Communion Season comes along you hear about weight loss plans and seasonal colours for mother's dresses. You hear about house parties with bouncy castles, wads of €50 notes and the all-important must-have cupcakes with edible crosses on top. And this year, it seems that the most important fashion-accessory for many people is to admit they ticked the “No Religion” box on the census and celebrate their hypocrisy. In this special Communion Season episode (groan) I'm going to try and explain to you why despite the temptation to tell me otherwise, it is, in fact, my business.

Every May 4th, China celebrates its Youth Day, which commemorates the May Fourth Movement of 1919. The event was led by thousands of university students in a mass demonstration to oppose imperialism and feudalism. It marked the start of a national awakening that paved the way for the birth of new China 30 years later. How alive is the spirit of the movement today or has it evolved through time? Let's hear from four young Chinese who are making an impact on society.

Every May, Kansas City sports icons George Brett and Tom Watson get together for an event that they wished would go away. It’s the Joe McGuff ALS Golf Classic at LionsGate in Overland Park. And they want it to end because that means enough funds will have been raised to stamp out the disease. But Brett and Watson always answer the call to headline the annual event, and they discussed their relationship with the condition, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, along with several other topics. Brett had a suggestion on how the Royals could reverse their recent misfortune; Watson discussed the new sport that gets his competitive juices flowing and they spoke to each other on how they handled slumps.

4. Take a few minutes to explain how you would estimate how many tourists visit India every May?…… Many interviewers ask you this type of behavioral questions to see an analyst's thought process without the help of computers and data sets. After all, technology is only as good and reliable as the people behind it. In your answer include: how you identified the variables, how you communicated them, and ideas you had to find the answer. This example answer touches on all these points: .......That questions answer is...... “First, I would gather data on how many people live in Paris, how many tourists visit in May, and their average length of stay. I'd break down the numbers by age, gender, and income, and find the numbers on how many vacation days and bank holidays there are in France. I'd also figure out if the tourist office had any data I could look at.” --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Sometimes people call Bitcoin a religion pejoratively, as a way to sneer at its disciples. Or they call it a cult. Or they just use "religion" to imply that the whole thing is irrational. But I mean it with no judgment one way or another. Just that it's literally a religion. There's plenty of evidence for it.It has a prophet. Satoshi, who not only has never been identified but who has apparently departed the world.Not only is there a prophet, but Satoshi was also apparently in it for the benefit of all mankind. There's no evidence that Satoshi ever sold a single coin.Bitcoin's first block was called The Genesis Block.Bitcoin has a sacred text: The White Paper. A short nine-page document that still gets passed around in printed form like Gideon's Bible.Bitcoin has original saints and apostles. Early figures like Hal Finney, who spoke with Satoshi, are revered in the community for their forward vision and their role in establishing the faith. Finney was the recipient of the first Bitcoin transaction.Bitcoin has its own Talmud-like texts. The early Bitcointalk.org message boards are still studied today, where the first users discussed the endeavor, and analyzed today in order to help guide the community.Holidays. Every May 22, Bitcoiners remember a famous transaction, where someone spent 10,000 Bitcoin on two pizzas. Meanwhile, every four years, Bitcoiners celebrate the halving, when the pace of new Bitcoin issuance gets cut in half. There's other holidays too... yesterday as Proof Of Keys day, for example.Dietary customs. Many of the most orthodox Bitcoiners adhere to a diet of strictly eating meat.Schisms. Just like with any religion, there have been breakaway attempts, with disciples branching out onto their own, dividing the community, a la the creation of Bitcoin Cash in 2017.Disputed claims to the crown. Some people have claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, engendering huge controversy and anger in the community.Fury at apostasy. While Bitcoiners are resentful of people who aren't part of the faith (Nocoiners) they hold in particular contempt apostates who abandon ship as part of a ragequit.Sayings and incantations. Just check out some Bitcoiners on Twitter, and it's basically a stream of repetitive phrases, meant to hammer home key ideas to the flock.Prophets, apostles, holidays, dietary customs, sacred texts, schisms, sayings, and more. Bitcoin isn't like a religion. This is just what religion is.🌊Best Links of The Week🌊Here is a paper from Emily Strauss of Duke Law School, titled “Is Everything Securities Fraud?”China v. Alibaba, continued - China is digging deeper on Alibaba, and Ant Financial, its payment affiliate (Alipay), floating all sorts of options including a breakup of some kind. As observed in previous issues of this newsletter, it's unclear to China analysts how much this is about things done by Alibaba (and hence with read-across for other big Chinese tech companies), how much it's about Jack Ma, and how much this is pour encourager les autres.SolarWinds hackers viewed Microsoft source code - This story isn't going to go away. The (almost certainly Russian) hackers who breached a lot of big companies and government targets last year managed to get sight of some of Microsoft's source code. This probably doesn't create new security issues, since Microsoft's strategy has been to write code on the presumption that source can be viewed, but it still illustrates the scale of the breach, and we're still learning about more targets.

Salmonflies are the kings of their species, the largest of the stoneflies. Every May these magnificent bugs emerge from the Deschutes, Rogue and Klamath rivers to breed a new generation of bugs, and fly anglers are there to take advantage of the resulting feast for trout and steelhead. This week we talk to ODFW fishing ambassadors Chris Clogston and Luis Alvarado about their passion for the salmonfly hatch, tying big "ugly bugs" as they call them and why May is one of their favorite times of the year to find the big trout on some of Oregon's most iconic rivers.

EPISODE 324 At last! The Bowery Boys: New York City History podcast looks at one of the strangest traditions in this city's long history -- that curious custom known as Moving Day. Every May 1st, for well over two centuries, from the colonial era to World War II, rental leases would expire simultaneously, and thousands of New Yorkers would pack their possessions into carts or wagons and move to new homes or apartments. (Later on, October 1st would become the second ‘moving day’.) Of course, for the rest of the world May 1 would mean all different things – a celebration of spring or moment of political protest. And it would mean those things here in New York – but on a backdrop of just unbelievable mayhem in the streets. There are a few theories about the origin of Moving Day but most of them trace back the Dutch colony of New Netherlands. So why did New Yorkers continue the custom for centuries?

What does it take to organize and coordinate such a celebration of design, with over 400 events in five boroughs over two weeks?

In this episode that first aired live on the radio show, we speak with Charlie Nardozzi, who tells us about growing blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries—as well as unusual berries such as honeyberries (a.k.a. haskaps). He’ll also give us pointers on growing berries in containers. Charlie is an award-winning garden writer, speaker, and radio and television personality. In the second half of the show we chat with Darren Sheriff, who goes by the name The Citrus Guy. Darren is a garden writer, educator, and speaker in South Carolina, where he fills his yard with 55 varieties of citrus—all in containers! Darren will also tell us about another passion of his, growing camellias. He is the president of the Coastal Carolina Camellia Society, and the current American Camellia Society South Carolina State Director. But more than that, he has a great knack for explaining gardening.In the Biggs-on-Figs segment, Steven chats with Ross Raddi. Ross is a 27-year-old backyard orchardist in the Philadelphia area who is passionate about growing his own fruit and vegetables. Ross will share tips for transitioning fig trees from winter to spring. In Emma’s Tomato Talk segment, she speaks with tomato expert Linda Crago, who runs Tree and Twig Heirloom Vegetable Farm in Niagara, Canada. Linda’s specialty is tomatoes—and lots of them. Every May long weekend she has a Tomato Days plant sale with hundreds of varieties. She will tell Emma about compact tomato varieties such as ‘House.’
In May will be the next Pint of Science event! Pint of Science is an annual festival that was founded by Michael Motskin and Praveen Paul. Every May scientists present their research to a public audience in a pub or a bar. It started in the UK in 2014, and it’s now spread throughout the world, with official events in 24 countries. In 2018, 120 000 people visited Pint of Science events. The events are planned by local teams, which make up the 3000 volunteers. In this episode I spoke with Pint of Science organizer Elodie Chabrol, a former neuroscience researcher, who is now a full-time science communicator. Listen to the Full Conversation on Patreon! Already during her days as a researcher, Elodie tried to explain her work to colleagues, friends and family, which made her conscious about how to communicate effectively. As a professional freelance science communicator she wants to encourage scientists to share their stories, and to demonstrate that scientists are approachable. She loves it, when people understand what she is trying to explain. Elodie switched to science communication in 2017, after she had been organizing Pint of Science for 4 years, already. She joined Pint of Science, because she was interested in organizing event. And when somebody else quit, she took the opportunity to become part of the core organizer team. The work of a science communicator can be diverse. For Pint of Science Elodie trains speakers, and gives promotional talks. But she also speaks about science on podcasts or radio shows, and trains scientists in public speaking and social media use. She was able to transition into freelance work relatively smoothly, but she had established a profile over the previous 4 years, which was a lot of work. Pint of Science will be on May 20-22.

Every May a diverse group of thinkers, entrepreneurs, business leaders, authors, social influencers and more converge on Dublin for an inspirational symposium. Taking a quick look you might think InspireFest is another technology conference. But if you look a little deeper you'll learn it's that - plus a whole lot more. Founded by Irish entrepreneur Ann O'Dea, InspireFest is entering its fifth year in 2019. Ann is also editor and founder of Silicon Republic - a magazine so old it used to be printed! Today the publisher and conference organiser is known for her work promoting diversity, innovation, creativity, and community.
Every May, Eric and Zeff preview the summer movie season. And they make predictions - which films will be hits, which films will win over the critics. Every November, those predictions come home to roost - it's time to tally up the results and see which of our hosts is the most prescient (for the record, not Zeff, who is 0-5-1 over the years...). And as we're talking movies, discussion of which films should be now be regarded as the new classics.
Rick Ector. Legally Armed In Detroit. Detroit CCW. This interview has been 2 years in the making. I met Rick Ector in Tampa at Gun Rights Policy Conference in 2016. He couldn't stop laughing when I told him about GunGrams and Riding Shotgun With Charlie. And he said he'd love to be a passenger. In February 2017, I had plans to interview Rick in Detroit after the concealed carry fashion in show in Cleveland with Rob & Amanda from Eye On The Target Radio. But Rick wasn't able to make it. We've had a lot of back and forth about when we were going to be able to do this and did the other person really want to do the interview. We didn't make it happen in Detroit February 2017. Then we were going to again in Dallas September 2017. But it didn't happen again. FINALLY!!!! In Chicago September 2018, we got in the car for an interview! Rick was robbed at gun point by 2 individuals on his own property! He has since became a licensed gun owner, then firearm instructor, then firearm training counselor, then 2A advocate. What Rick is really known for is training 700 women in the same day! Every May for the last 7 years, he's been getting instructors, guns and ammunition, and women together to teach women how to be safe with a firearm and get the CPL (Concealed Pistol License) in Michigan. Please watch and listen to the interview that finally happened last month in Chicago. http://www.legallyarmedindetroit.com/ https://detroitcplclass.usgunclasses.com/

There's a chapter in my upcoming book about something that happened to me when I was 13. Don't get sad or nervous, it wasn't a traumatic thing. Maybe it was a little traumatic, but you'll enjoy reading about it. It reminded me of how hard it is to be 13. It's hard being 11 to 18. Today, I am talking to a 12-year-old. On this very day May 22, 2006 Remi Hope Radke came screaming into my world, and I haven't had a moment of silence since. I couldn't imagine having a different guest on my podcast today. Every May 22nd, Remi Hope dominates our thoughts and our world, so there is no reason why today should be any different. You can find Melissa here: Podcast Web Page Facebook Page @MsMelissaRadke on Instagram @msmelissaradke on Twitter Show Notes [01:45] Remi is growing up. I wonder if having a public mom makes her life more difficult? Sometimes I feel like I'm making it harder on her. Although, if I were she would let me know. [02:08] Today, I'm going to sit down with Remi and introduce her to you. [02:19] Remi came to us through adoption. She came to us less than five months after we buried our son. I cried out to God to help me mend what was torn apart. [02:49] One day I was in the kitchen. Out of nowhere, I felt a tender presence. It was like a compassionate reach. I heard the words "everything you are in need of will come to you wrapped in a blanket." [03:08] This made no sense to me. How can everything I want come in the form of a tiny baby? [03:26] Remi Hope came into my world. She was not a replacement for Elisha. She was the cure for the broken and missing piece. [03:59] She was an uncontrollable toddler in every single way. We were called in to meet with every teacher at every school.She was fulfilled of nonstop. [04:20] She's a little older and a little wiser now but no less filled with life and humor. [04:26] Today, I'm talking to her about everything from adoption to living in the public eye to boys. [04:48] Remi had her thoughts and doubts about being on the show. [05:13] Remi thinks the podcast could be a little better and funnier. [06:15] Remi is thinking about starting her own podcast. She would try a food and give her opinion and then have guest opinions. It would be like Remi's reviews but would be called Remondade similar to lemonade. [08:00] Remi and Melissa share their knowledge about historical energy sources and renewable and alternative energy. Geothermal, solar, wind, biofuels, and hydroelectric. [10:40] Remi plays soccer, basketball, softball, and she wants to play football. She's heading into the sixth grade and doing great. [11:24] She met her best friends Rashawna and Adeline at church. She knew they would grow up together and be best friends. She is a leader in kid works. Remi is great at memorizing scripture. [12:06] Remi she shares some of her favorite scriptures. [13:31] Remi is healthy and loves fruits and vegetables and broccoli. [14:15] Her favorite show is Deception, and her favorite movie is Jurassic World. [15:58] Remi was about seven when she found out she was adopted. She always wanted to watch Tarzan, and they would always stop the movie and tell Remi that the gorillas were adopting Tarzan. [16:53] Remi is cool with the adoption. Melissa is really her mom. Her mom was a very good sharer. Someday, Remi may want to meet her birth mom, and that is okay. [17:51] Remi approves of the fun life they have and how Melissa puts stuff out on the Internet. [19:00] She likes the fame. There is nothing she hates about it. Our family has been talking about a reality show. They have filmed three times. It's a lot of work. There is a whole household of people. [20:02] Remi thinks it is fun. They are probably getting a TV show. [20:39] Melissa held Remi back because of her attitude, and she repeated kindergarten. She was like a wild tornado unleashed on the school system. [21:53] A lot of kids repeat kindergarten. She can let it go. She is in the top of her class and two of her best friends are in that grade. [22:44] She's excited about going to middle school and choosing where she sits. [24:00] Remi shares the stages of being ladylike. [24:29] She is looking forward to church camp and some other fun camps she goes to and has great friends there. She is also going to the Texas A&M soccer camp. All while possible shooting a show. [25:18] She would like to have a sleepover on her birthday in the guest room with her friends. [25:57] She would like a horse for her birthday, but she'll take the sleepover and a kiss. To start with. [26:16] Remi's lightning round. [28:27] Special thanks to Remi Hope Radke. [28:44] Hope has always been a part of your name. From Melissa's book Eat Cake. Be Brave.

HealthSource Radio at the University of Vermont Medical Center

The Independence Blue Cross Broad Street Run is an essential event for the city of Philadelphia. Every May, spectators cheer on 40,000 runners as they champion through the 10 mile stretch down Broad Street. Matt Cabrey, Executive Director of Select Greater Philadelphia, a council of the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia, chats with Race Director Jim Marino about the rich history of the run and how this event brings economic growth to our region by drawing in participants from all around the world. Joe Lynch from Independence Blue Cross also explains how even though the race is once a year, their corporate running group keeps the spark alive throughout the remanding 364 days.
This fortnight we present another local Melbourne lord that needs to be on your radar: Mike Hunt (real name Matt Radovich). An incredibly impressive outline of achievements can be found in the bio of his Soundcloud page where he briefly mentions supporting a vast range of acts from Aphex Twin to Wu Tang Clan as well as being invited by Detroit Techno Militia to play at the Bang Tech 12 Anniversary Party in Detroit. So instead of writing it all again here, we thought it would be more fitting to include the context with which this mix was made, written by Mike himself. “Every May, I head to the US, to spend some time with great mates in Detroit, during memorial day weekend. During that long weekend the city holds a 3 day electronic music festival called Movement. In 2013, I made my first trip over and I have been hooked ever since. This year will be my 5th year heading to Detroit, and since this mix was due around the same time as when I leave for Detroit, it seemed kind of fitting to do a Detroit mix. This mix was done using most the records I have purchased in Detroit over the last 4 years, plus maybe one or two I have had in my collection for a little while. It covers all kinds of music from Detroit, not just TECHNO. I hope you enjoy it, it's not the most perfect mix, in terms of it's production (there are a few mistakes), but I think the music is top notch! Thanks again for having me do this mix, I had a lot of fun putting it together.“
Roses are indigenous to Iran and distilling the essential oils of the flower to make rose water has been practiced there for over 2,500 years. Every May, when the city of Kashan is enveloped in pink and a sweet floral scent, there is a festival that honors this ancient tradition of boiling petals in barrels of water and collecting and condensing the rising steam. Cookbook author Yasmin Khan attended the festivities last year and joins us to share the stories, significance and flavor uses of rose water and to share culinary insights from her recent book, The Saffron Tales, from Bloomsbury Press.
Ronda Hauben, Jay Hauben In 1993 Michael Hauben recognized that along with the Internet there had emerged the netizen. He observed that the netizen was not all users, but the online user who recognized the empowerment the Net made possible and who sought to utilize this empowerment to contribute to the Net and the bigger world it was part of. This May marks the 20th anniversary of the print edition of Netizens: On the History and Impact of Usenet and the Internet. The book was first published online and then in a print edition in English and in a Japanese translation. We want to mark this occasion by a presentation celebrating the milestone the book represents. While there are many publications exploring the social impact of the Internet, it was and continues to be rare for a book or other publication to document and make the case for the importance of recognizing the social impact of the Net and Netizens. Our presentation will explore the historic and scientific roots of the phenomenon, the early vision, the research that led to the recognition of the emergence of the netizens and the continuing development of both the theory and practice of netizens and netizenship. Several names stand out in the history of this achievement. Among these are JCR Licklider for the guiding vision, Michael Hauben for the pioneering research and scientific insight for recognizing that along with the Internet had emerged the Netizen, and Mark Poster's work realizing that the netizen could be the social force waging a successful struggle against the harmful effects of globalization. The netizens have carried forward the torch so the Internet can continue to evolve and thrive.
