We are living through a world-rattling ecological inflection point, with an unprecedented consensus that capitalism is leading humanity into a social and ecological catastrophe and that everything needs to change, and fast. Thankfully, radical environmental movements have forced the question of “system change” to the centre of the political agenda to make way for a just and livable world. Insurgent Ecologies: Between Environmental Struggles and Postcapitalist Transformations takes readers on an inspiring journey across key sites of ecological crisis and contestation, showing how revolutionary politics can emerge from the convergences between place-based, often disconnected struggles. These engaging essays speak to longstanding debates in political ecology around how to advance transformations in, against and beyond capitalism. The collection starts from the belief that the environmental struggles taking place across the Global South and North are a necessary component of such transformations. The book presents unique stories of the visions and strategies of struggles organized around sovereignty, land, climate, feminisms and labour, written by scholar-activists rooted in territories around the globe, offering locally grounded yet global perspectives. Each story reflects on how to build solidarity and comradeship across diverse struggles and how new political subjects and transformative collective projects for social-ecological justice are created.

John Craven Jones Cette capsule porte sur John Craven Jones, le premier premier enseignant de race noire de Salt Spring. Originaire de la Caroline du Nord, John Craven Jones a obtenu son diplôme d'Oberlin College en 1856, avant d'immigrer en Colombie-Britannique. En 1861, John a commencé à enseigner dans une école de Central (alors appelée Vesuvius). Il se rendait régulièrement dans une petite école à Fernwood pour enseigner également. Ces déplacements étaient souvent périlleux; le terrain étant sauvage et fréquemment traversé par des couguars. John n'enseignait pas uniquement aux enfants noirs de Salt Spring Island, mais à un groupe d'élèves multiculturel, composé d'enfants blancs et autochtones. Il a enseigné pendant plus de huit ans sans être rémunéré. Ce n'est qu'en 1869, avec l'instauration du financement public obligatoire pour l'éducation, que John a commencé à recevoir un salaire. En 1882, John Craven Jones est retourné en Ohio, où il a épousé Almira Scott et eut trois enfants. De retour en Caroline du Nord, John a continué à enseigner pendant 20 ans avant de prendre sa retraite. Il est mort le 17 décembre 1911, laissant derrière lui un héritage de connaissance, de compassion, d'amour, de respect et de paix. Par: Claire Liu

Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Susannah Mars, daughter of actor and comedian Kenneth Mars. Of course you know Kenneth Mars from his many film roles including Young Frankenstein, What's Up Doc, The Producers, Radio Days & The Parallex View and many more classic films. What you may not know and we learn from talking to Susannah was that her grandfather was a comic and radio personality named Sonny Mars who released one very tidy LP & that later in life, her father became known for voice over work in tons of animated movies and shows, none bigger than that as King Trident in Disney's The Little Mermaid.  Susannah also lets us in on what it was like growing up with her cerebral but wacky father. We hear about his lunches with fellow actors and comedians like The Partridge Family's Dave Madden which then somehow led us to reach out to another guest, Denise Gaultier after hearing about her father's somewhat ribald drawings he made for Susannah at those lunches. We also hear about Susannah's singing career, her documentary film, Mourning Has Broken & how she starred in an ABC after school special with Kristy McNichol & so much more. There is so much love and respect and genuine familial memories about growing up with a father it's hard not to empathize with her years after his passing. He made funny voices, she got to watch her dad on stage in St. louis at the Muny Theater and how the cult comedy show Fernwood 2 Night still connects with her & her dads fans. Please take a listen to the latest episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast and enjoy our chat with Susannah Mars. Everyone has a story.

How does Saturday Night Live follow up The Rolling Stones as host? With Muhammad Ali, of course. And when that doesn't pan out and they go with... Fred Willard! Fresh from his acclaimed run on Fernwood 2 Night and America 2-Night, Willard brings his unique comic energy to an episode that has many recurring characters (including the return of Mr. Bill) as well as a second half that takes some truly unexpected turns.And speaking of following tough acts, Devo is the musical guest and boldly covers "Satisfaction" - transforming the Stones' classic into something entirely their own (and possibly sounding better than the band last week).This is easily one of the most interesting SNL episodes of the era and was definitely one of the most fun to talk about.

You've found what appears to be a great property, and you just received the inspection report. It listed many defects, most of which are typical, and the cost to correct them is well-defined. However, a few items are disconcerting because the report listed symptoms rather than specific defects, such as mold, Kitec plumbing, China drywall, aluminum wiring, roof leaks, settlement, etc. These ill-defined problems are red flags because remediating them is not “fixed.” For example, suppose mold was detected.

Over the past 16 years, I've worked with nearly 200 first-time investors. From my experience, until they go through our training, most are completely focused on ROI and cash flow.  Here are some key points new investors must keep in mind: You're not buying real estate—you're buying a lifelong income stream. Vacancy costs can be a killer, so estimating them is critical. ROI and cash flow only predict a property's performance under ideal conditions on the first day of a lifetime hold.

The notion that investing in multifamily is always better than investing in single-family is false. The goal of real estate investing isn't to own a particular type of property but to secure a reliable income. The reliability of this income doesn't depend on the property type but on the tenant who occupies the property.

Goals provide us with direction and purpose, acting as the foundation for every significant endeavor. Your goals should be written down, but they don't need to be lengthy or complex.  How to Get Started You can start with just the following items: Current situation: What is your current or anticipated financial capacity within a reasonable time frame? Get preapproved for an investor loan to determine your accessible credit limit. Financial end goal: Typically, this refers to an income goal, like earning $10,000 a month in today's dollars. Time frame: The less time you have to reach your goal, the more initial capital and credit you will require. However, goals by themselves are not enough. Goals without an action plan are merely daydreams. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In 2004, I was living in NYC when I decided to start a new career. To identify potential business opportunities, I thought about some of the more frustrating experiences I'd had. I quickly narrowed the list to buying investment properties. The problem was that all real estate agents could do was send me MLS data sheets for the properties I selected; no analytics, processes, or services. I had to do everything myself. This was time-consuming, and I made frustrating mistakes that cost me time and money to correct later.  So, there was a business opportunity. Now, I need to know where to create this business (not New York or New Jersey). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

1186 - Why Low-Cost Properties are Actually More Expensive by Eric Fernwood

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 13, 2024 11:36


Low-cost properties are appealing because you can acquire and generate income with less initial capital. However, they are actually the most expensive way to achieve and maintain financial freedom. Here's why. What Determines Prices and Rents? Real estate prices and rents are driven by supply and demand. When the number of sellers equals or exceeds the number of buyers consistently, property prices remain low. If prices do increase, the rise will be gradual. Furthermore, when prices are low, more people can afford to buy, leading to fewer renters. This results in stagnant or slowly increasing rents. Learn more about your ad choices.

Laugh Tracks Legends of Comedy with Randy and Steve

Meet one of our personal favorites this week -- the great Fred Willard. A consummate improv, sketch, and film comedian, Fred got his start in a New York comedy duo, but it was after he spent time at Second City (alongside the likes of Robert Klein and Peter Boyle) that his career blossomed. From helping found the influential Ace Trucking Company comedy troupe, to Norman Lear's Fernwood 2 Night, to a long run as part of Christopher Guest's improv repertory company, Fred was a reliable and welcome addition to any comedy project. Find more clips below and, as always, thanks for sharing our shows!   Want more Willard? Fred had a great long run as part of Christopher Guest's repertory company, winning an American Comedy Award for his work in Best of Show. But our favorite is this short bit in This is Spinal Tap, where Fred plays the consummate military guy trying to be hip as he meets the band. https://youtu.be/IpTNoq2np_4 Fred was always at his best in a group. His ability to play off people, honed by years at the Second City, let him make any scene funnier. As part of the Ace Trucking Company comedy troupe Fred was a frequent guest on Johnny Carson's Tonight show. Here's one of their bits from 1974. https://youtu.be/c4wL0BM1IQc Fred had a gift for playing characters who were confidently clueless, none better than his portrayal of hack tv talk show sidekick Jerry Hubbard (to Martin Mull's smarmy Barth Gimble) on Norman Lear's "Fernwood 2 Night". Here is Fred with some prime inane banter! https://youtu.be/RJsNr0GqXMk

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to Susannah Mars, daughter of the amazing actor/comedian Kenneth Mars. We spoke to Susannah about growing up with the man who portrayed the outrageous Nazi playwright Franz Liebkind in The Producers as well as Inspector Kemp in Young Frankenstein. Of course that means we talk about Mel Brooks but it also means we talk about everything from Chicago radio/TV personality Sonny Mars who was Kenneth's step father, additional Mars films like The Parallax View & What's Up, Doc? & hanging out with dad's friends Dick Gautier (Hymie from Get Smart) and Dave Madden of The Partridge Family. Susannah also talks to us about her own career as a performer, actress and her upcoming documentary “Mourning Has Broken”, her father's amazing accents which may or may not be used In LA restaurants, his penchant for elaborate gags at lunch as well as his stage career which frankly we knew too little about. It was wonderful talking to Susannah because not only did she have some great tales about being on the set of Young Frankenstein and being in the seats at The Muny in St; Louis, but she regales us with stories about appearing in an ABC After School Special with Kristy McNichol, her small role in the Jodie Foster version of Freaky Friday and her obvious bond she and her dad shared. She really brings his wild but loving personality to life in our interview. So if the cult TV show Fernwood 2 Night, meeting Lucille Ball on the Universal lot or The Playboy Club circuit mean anything to you, you should take a listen to this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast.

Canadians are proud of their multicultural image both at home and abroad. But that image isn t grounded in historical facts. As recently as the 1960s, the Canadian government enforced discriminatory, anti-Black immigration policies, designed to restrict and prohibit the entry of Black Barbadians and Black West Indians. The Canadian state capitalized on the public s fear of the Black unknown and racist stereotypes to justify their exclusion.
