In today's podcast we takes a close look at the evolution and future challenges of tall building design with engineering design mega star Kamran Moazami.Kamran is WSP's managing director for property and buildings and with nearly half a century of design experience under his belt – most recently on projects such as The Shard, 22 Bishopsgate, and One Blackfriars, he is certainly the man to ask!It is clear that around the world, the skyline is evolving at an unprecedented pace, with ever-taller, more ambitious buildings redefining the way we live and work. From London to New York, Dubai to Shanghai, the race to build higher is driven by increasing urbanisation, the need for sustainable development, and cutting-edge advancements in engineering and materials science.But designing and delivering these megastructures is no easy feat. Every tall building presents a unique set of challenges—from wind resistance and structural stability to fire safety, vertical transportation, and carbon efficiency. The growing urgency around climate resilience also means engineers are now pushing boundaries to create greener, smarter, and more adaptive high-rises.And as we are seeing post-earthquake in Myanmar and Bangkok, but also following the tragic 2017 Grenfell fire in London, maintaining public confidence in high rise is an increasingly challenging business.Few understand these complexities better than Kamran – so let's find out more.ResourcesWSP Property and Buildings websiteThe Shard22 BishopsgateKamran Moazami interview in the Structural Engineer 2015Post Grenfell fire Hackett Report

Drawing from her rich life experiences, Anika reflects on her journey from a young girl behind the Iron Curtain to a Bond girl, a globe-trotter, and finally, a writer. Her stories explore themes of adaptability, perseverance, and the invaluable lessons imparted by her mother—especially the importance of education and the courage to embrace change.The book is more than just a memoir; it's a window into a life shaped by historical upheavals, personal growth, and the enduring power of storytelling.

I prowled the night to avoid my abusive stepfather, stealing cars and burgling houses to survive. But prison time showed me I could put my criminal skills to good use – as a Private Investigator.

As an illegal PI, I straddled both sides of the fence. From the glamour of Hollywood, to the sleazy underbelly of LA's vices. I targeted celebrities, porn-stars, prostitutes, gangsters, paedophiles – I was the keeper of Tinseltown's secrets.Then, it got even sleazier: I was hired by the British tabloids to dig the dirt for the biggest stories of the century: Jeffrey Epstein, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Michael Jackson, Heidi Fleiss, OJ Simpson….you name it. I did them all - let God sort 'em out. For 20 years, I was a central cog in the Rupert Murdoch's illegal newsgathering machine at Foxand the New York Daily Post. From London, The Sun and the News of the World wired me £100,000s to find out confidential information about the stars. But the Daily Mail, the Mirror and the big paparazzi agencies also wanted a piece of the action – soon they got addicted to my illegal reports.Then came the phone hacking scandal. The net closed in.

Today's story: Across the English-speaking world, the cost of housing (to buy or to rent) has far outpaced increases in incomes. That has caused governments to take a critical look at policies that have limited homebuilding, especially apartments. From London's green belt to cities in America, Canada, and Australia, people are increasingly saying ""yes"" to more building.Learn this English expression: A person who is ""out of touch"" doesn't keep up with latest trends in culture, technology, or a particular group.

Rudy Giuliani has now lost everything after a judge this week ruled that his luxury apartment in Manhattan, all of his cash accounts, and many other personal items are now the property of the two Georgia election workers that he defamed. Even the $2 million debt that he is owed from the Trump campaign now belongs to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. This is all because Giuliani wanted to get a job in Trump's White House, which he never even got. Also, Donald Trump held an event in South Florida this week that could only be described as incoherent. The convicted felon repeatedly rambled his way through all sorts of weird stories, and at one point he couldn't even locate a woman that was sitting right next to him - Christi Farga, the mayor of Doral, Florida. If Biden had ever done even half the things that happened on stage the media would have lit up with endless stories about his mental decline, but for Trump, this was just another day of wackiness.And polls may show that Americans are split on who to vote for, but outside of this country, the answer is very clear: Non-Americans don't want to see Donald Trump get back into office. From London to Palestine, citizens are saying that Trump would be a disaster for the rest of the world, especially in areas that are already being torn apart by war. These allies need our help, and we need theirs, so electing a leader that they despise is probably not the best idea.Finally, Donald Trump abruptly cancelled a virtual roundtable event that was supposed to feature RFK, Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard this week, not long after he had called Vice President Kamala Harris "lazy." The man has absolutely no stamina to speak of, but once again the media is missing the story. His inability to close out the presidential race is a major red flag, but voters aren't going to know about these things if the national media isn't covering them.Subscribe to our YouTube channel to stay up to date on all of Farron's content: https://www.youtube.com/FarronBalancedFollow Farron on social media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FarronBalancedTwitter: https://twitter.com/farronbalancedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/farronbalancedTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@farronbalanced?lang=enText and and let us know your thoughts on today's stories!
The pirates that exist in our imagination are not just any pirates. Violent sea-raiding has occurred in most parts of the world throughout history, but our popular stereotype of pirates has been defined by one historical moment: the period from the 1660s to the 1730s, the so-called "golden age of piracy." The Caribbean and American colonies of Britain, France, Spain, and the Netherlands—where piracy surged across these decades—are the main theater for buccaneering, but this is a global story. From London, Paris, and Amsterdam to Curaçao, Port Royal, Tortuga, and Charleston, from Ireland and the Mediterranean to Madagascar and India, from the Arabian Gulf to the Pacific Ocean. Familiar characters like Drake, Morgan, Blackbeard, Bonny and Read, Henry Every, and Captain Kidd all feature here, but so too will the less well-known figures from the history of piracy, their crew-members, shipmates, and their confederates ashore; the men and women whose transatlantic lives were bound up with the rise and fall of piracy. To explore this story is today's guest, Richard Blakemore, author of “Enemies of All: The Rise and Fall of the Golden Age of Piracy.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fascinating!I have been a licensed counselor for almost 20 years; I have spoken at numerous international conferences on psychopaths and narcissists, and written books related to counseling.

The history is accurate, the locations and science described are accurate. Before embarking on this project, I read every book I could find on Churchill, as well as many of the 72 books he wrote. I am a lover of mystery and paranormal stories and this was my chance to write both and what fun it was! I can't stop writing the series because my characters would die! So, more to come!About The Book:In this riveting tale, Sir Winston Churchill and an eclectic team including Dr. Albert Einstein, Air Marshall David Smythe, former MI5 Assistant Director Dr. Raven Wyndot, and the enigmatic Great Dane, Sophie, are resurrected to confront the reemergence of Nazi evil embodied in the diabolical Dr. Josef Mengele's plan to clone Hitler, Goebbels, and Himmler. From London's historic Savory Hotel to the snowy peaks of Austria, they unravel a labyrinthine plot fueled by Neo Nazi resources. Dr. Wyndot, the sole mortal member, faces repeated attempts on her life as the team races against time to thwart Mengele and his malevolent ambitions, fighting against treachery and danger at every turn in their quest to save humanity.Connect with the Guest: www.mysterioussecretguardians.comThank you for listening and supporting the 'Faith and Family Fellowship PODCAST SHOW'.

The story of the fight against fascism across the African diaspora, revealing that Black antifascism has always been vital to global freedom struggles. At once a history for understanding fascism and a handbook for organizing against, The Black Antifascist Tradition: Fighting Back from Anti-Lynching to Abolition (Haymarket Books, 2024) is an essential book for understanding our present moment and the challenges ahead. From London to the Caribbean, from Ethiopia to Harlem, from Black Lives Matter to abolition, Black radicals and writers have long understood fascism as a threat to the survival of Black people around the world—and to everyone. In The Black Antifascist Tradition, scholar-activists Jeanelle K. Hope and Bill Mullen show how generations of Black activists and intellectuals—from Ida B. Wells in the fight against lynching, to Angela Y. Davis in the fight against the prison-industrial complex—have stood within a tradition of Black Antifascism. As Davis once observed, pointing to the importance of anti-Black racism in the development of facism as an ideology, Black people have been “the first and most deeply injured victims of fascism.” Indeed, the experience of living under and resisting racial capitalism has often made Black radicals aware of the potential for fascism to take hold long before others understood this danger. The book explores the powerful ideas and activism of Paul Robeson, Mary McLeod Bethune, Claudia Jones, W. E. B. Du Bois, Frantz Fanon, Aime Cesaire, and Walter Rodney, as well as that of the Civil Rights Congress, the Black Liberation Army, and the We Charge Genocide movement, among others. In shining a light on fascism and anti-Blackness, Hope and Mullen argue, the writers and organizers featured in this book have also developed urgent tools and strategies for overcoming it. Jeanelle Hope is Director & Associate Professor of African American Studies Bill V. Mullen is Professor of English and American Studies at Purdue University. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.

By Davy Crockett From 1875 to 1879, at least 130 six-day races were held, mostly in America and Great Britain. In 1879, the foot races became the #1 spectator sport in America. During that single year, at least 88 six-day races were held worldwide, with about 900 starters and witnessed by nearly one million spectators. Women played a significant role in these early six-day races, a century before they could take part in marathons. From 1875 to 1879, at least 30 six-day women's races were held, involving 150 women starters who ran as far as 393 miles in six days. These daring women athletes caused a significant rift across the Victorian-era society. An editorial in the New York Times stated, “Today it is the walking match, soon the women's vote will come.” It isn't surprising that once the women competed, that New York City considered passing an ordinance banning “all public exhibitions of female pedestrianism.” Many people thought these races, even limited to men, were a plague on society, especially because of all the wagering that took place and suspected corruption involved. In Louisiana, it was written, “Can't someone up there give these lunatics some kind of creditable employment in which they can exercise their pedal extremities to their hearts' content?” From London, England, “One of these days, when one of these poor fellows, dazzled with the distant prospect of gold, drops down dead on the track, science will be satisfied, sport appeased, and public indignation aroused. Pedestrians will go on doing the ‘best time on record' until they drop down dead.” Get my new book on Amazon After a huge race in New York City, The Third Asley Belt race, that affected attendance at churches that week, a minister wrote, “New York has been shamefully disgraced. This commercial emporium is in dishonor in the sight of God and in the eyes of the civilized world.” These early pedestrians at first had a goal to surpass 500 miles in six days. They then kept pushing the six-day world record further until George Littlewood reached 623 miles in 1888. That record stood for nearly a century and was considered a running record that would never be broken. But it eventually was broken by one man. Today, the six-day world record is held by Yiannis Kouros, of Greece, who covered an astonishing distance of 635 miles on a track in New York City in 1984. Later, in 2005, he covered 643. Running vs. Walking In 1878, the British established a six-day world championship series of races called “The Astley Belt.” After the 3rd Astley Belt Race in early 1879, won by Charles Rowell of Great Britain, Daniel O'Leary, the former six-day champion of the world, spent a lot of time pondering how the British seemed to being exceeding the Americans in the six-day sport. He became convinced that no strict walker could ever again win a highly competitive six-day race against runners. The best strict heel-toe walkers could exceed 500 miles, but not much further. He believed the runners being developed in Britain could go much further than 500 miles, and it was time for Americans to learn how to run more during these “go-as-you-please” six-day races. The six-day races held during April 1879 During April 1879, at least 13 six-day races were held, including five during the same week. Two significant races were held that month, the American Championship Belt at Gilmore's Garden, New York City, and the 2nd English Astley Belt held at the Agricultural Hall in London. Plans for the American Championship Belt The six-day American Championship Belt race was billed as a contest to produce the best man to be sponsored to compete in the 4th Astley Belt race to be scheduled in June 1879, in England. For this qualifying race, $1,000 and a championship belt would be awarded to the winner. The race was open only to residents of America and would be under the direction of the New York Athletic Club. Belts, not belt-buckles,
