On dit parfois que l'amour rend aveugle... Dans ce podcast inédit, vous verrez que l'amour a conduit vers la mort un jeune garçon bien tranquille…Ce garçon, c'est Romain. Il a 19 ans et habite chez sa grand-mère dans un petit village du Nord. Gentil, serviable, il est très proche de sa famille. Pour gagner sa vie, il enchaine les petits boulots et le reste du temps, il le passe avec sa bande de copains. Enfin presque… Car depuis quelques semaines, il est amoureux. Elle s'appelle Mélinda et c'est une amie d'enfance. Mais le soir du 12 juillet 2016, alors qu'ils sont ensemble, Romain quitte brusquement sa petite amie après un coup de téléphone. Plus personne ne reverra le garçon vivant… Alors que s'est-il passé ? Dans quel piège Romain est-il tombé ? La réponse dans ce podcast inédit de Chroniques Criminelles racontée par Jacques Pradel.

Première partie - chapitre 19 : VanikoroProposé par audiolude.frNarrateur : Alain CouchotCe terrible spectacle inaugurait la série des catastrophes maritimes, que le Nautilus devait renconter sur sa route. Depuis qu'il suivait des mers plus fréquentées, nous apercevions souvent des coques naufragées qui achevaient de pourrir entre deux eaux, et, plus profondément, des canons, des boulets, des ancres, des chaînes, et mille autres objets de fer, que la rouille dévorait.Cependant, toujours entraînés par ce Nautilus, où nous vivions comme isolés, le 11 décembre, nous eûmes connaissance de l'archipel des Pomotou, ancien « groupe dangereux » de Bougainville, qui s'étend sur un espace de cinq cents lieues de l'est-sud-est à l'ouest-nord-ouest, entre 13° 30′ et 23° 50′ de latitude sud, et 125° 30′ et 151° 30′ de longitude ouest, depuis l'île Ducie jusqu'à l'île Lazareff. Cet archipel couvre une superficie de trois cent soixante-dix lieues carrées, et il est formé d'une soixantaine de groupes d'îles, parmi lesquels on remarque le groupe Gambier, auquel la France a imposé son protectorat. Ces îles sont coralligènes. Un soulèvement lent, mais continu, provoqué par le travail des polypes, les reliera un jour entre elles. Puis, cette nouvelle île se soudera plus tard aux archipels voisins, et un cinquième continent s'étendra depuis la Nouvelle-Zélande et la Nouvelle-Calédonie jusqu'aux Marquises.Le jour où je développai cette théorie devant le capitaine Nemo, il me répondit froidement :« Ce ne sont pas de nouveaux continents qu'il faut à la terre, mais de nouveaux hommes ! »Les hasards de sa navigation avaient précisément conduit le Nautilus vers l'île Clermont-Tonnerre, l'une des plus curieuses du groupe, qui fut découvert en 1822, par le capitaine Bell, de la Minerve. Je pus alors étudier ce système madréporique auquel sont dues les îles de cet Océan.Les madrépores, qu'il faut se garder de confondre avec les coraux, ont un tissu revêtu d'un encroûtement calcaire, et les modifications de sa structure ont amené M. Milne-Edwards, mon illustre maître, à les classer en cinq sections. Les petits animalcules qui sécrètent ce polypier vivent par milliards au fond de leurs cellules. Ce sont leurs dépôts calcaires qui deviennent rochers, récifs, îlots, îles. Ici, ils forment un anneau circulaire, entourant un lagon ou un petit lac intérieur, que des brèches mettent en communication avec la mer. Là, ils figurent des barrières de récifs semblables à celles qui existent sur les côtes de la Nouvelle-Calédonie et de diverses îles des Pomotou. En d'autres endroits, comme à la Réunion et à Maurice, ils élèvent des récifs frangés, hautes murailles droites, près desquelles les profondeurs de l'Océan sont considérables.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/livres-audio-par-audiolude--4151072/support.

How do we challenge cultural norms when society has a strong perception of how things “should” be? Cultural and environmental factors undeniably influence our understanding and experience of our relationship with food and our bodies. But, let's reconsider them. This is an opportunity to examine how our personal, professional, and political actions can drive meaningful change. This exploration blends personal experiences with broader societal observations, encouraging us to reflect on how culture shapes our views on body image. The insights from this conversation are both enlightening and empowering, prompting us to think about how we, as individuals and as a society, can combat pervasive negativity and work towards a future of body positivity, equality, and genuine connection. In this episode, I'm joined by Michael Levine. Together, we explore life skills that go far beyond just getting by. These skills challenge the norms that society loves to impose—norms that make us question our worth based on how we look or how we measure up to others. Spoiler alert: these norms are garbage, and we're here to dissect them. Michael P. Levine, Ph.D., is an Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, where he taught from 1979 through 2012. In the field of eating disorders, his commitment to research, writing, and advocacy focuses on the intersection between sociocultural risk factors, prevention, and community psychology. He has authored three books and three prevention curriculum guides, and he has co-edited three books on prevention. In 2015, as co-editor with his long-time collaborator and colleague Dr. Linda Smolak, he published a two-volume Handbook of Eating Disorders (Wiley & Sons Publishing). In 2021 he and Dr. Smolak published a new, extensively revised, and expanded edition of their 2006 book The Prevention of Eating Problems and Eating Disorders (Routledge/Taylor & Francis). In addition, Dr. Levine has authored or co-authored approximately 115 articles, book chapters, and book reviews, and he has presented his work throughout the United States, as well as in Canada, England, Spain, Austria, and Australia. Dr. Levine is a Fellow of the Academy for Eating Disorders (AED), which has awarded him their Meehan-Hartley Award for Leadership in Public Awareness and Advocacy (2006), and their Research-Practice Partnership Award (2008).  Note: We're celebrating three amazing years of the Understanding Disordered Eating podcast! Just as a reminder, we're taking a two-week break at the end of August. We'll be back with fresh content after Labor Day weekend, on September 10th. In the meantime, catch up on our older episodes—they're still gems! Tweetable Quotes "These are life skills which are going to work on the personal level, the professional level, and the political level." - Michael Levine "A sense of hope that the same kinds of massive transformations that have taken place in our culture can take place, and in fact are starting to take place, when it comes to the issues of body image, of equity, of control." - Michael Levine "I really do see a world also where the exploitation of bodies, particularly female bodies, but bodies is not a multi-trillion-dollar industry." - Michael Levine "It's going to require citizens and professionals from multiple disciplines, thinking about really complex matters. And I fall back to the fact that I believe we can do this." - Michael Levine Resources Michael Levine's Book: Prevention of Eating Disorders Michael Levine's Book: Paradigm clash in the field of eating disorders   Grab my Journal Prompts Here!

Au programme de ce Libre Journal, sommes-nous dans un monde post-occidental ? L'Occident en crise - qu'il nous faut plutôt nommer post-Occident depuis qu'il a fait sécession de l'Europe – pourrait être assimilé à un patient schizophrène. Prônant une « diversité » mensongère à l'intérieur, imposant au monde entier un modèle unique de « valeurs universelles ». Des deux côtés de l'Atlantique, ce grand malade est aujourd'hui en phase terminale. Avec : · Grégoire Gambier, directeur de la collection Iliade aux éditions de la Nouvelle Librairie (https://nouvelle-librairie.com/). · Lionel Rondouin, ancien parachutiste des Troupes de marine, puis chef d'entreprise dans l'industrie, il est aujourd'hui enseignant dans diverses écoles de management ou d'ingénieurs et formateur de l'Institut Iliade Vous découvrirez également les chroniques des auditeurs de l'Iliade : · Jeremy Baneton, le fondateur d'IdéoChoc, la nouvelle plateforme de formation intellectuelle de droite (https://ideochoc.fr/), et actuellement stagiaire de la promotion Saint-Exupéry (https://institut-iliade.com/formation/). · Raphael Ayma, activiste provençal et auditeur de la promotion Frédéric Mistral de l'Institut Iliade (https://institut-iliade.com/presentation-de-la-promotion-frederic-mistral/). · Justine Brès, auditrice de la promotion Homère de l'Iliade (https://institut-iliade.com/promotion-homere/). · Pierre Leprince, auditeur de la promotion Patrick Pearse de l'Iliade (https://institut-iliade.com/formation-iliade-la-promotion-patrick-pearse-en-ordre-de-marche/). · Lucas Chancerelle, responsable du Nid, l'incubateur des entreprises enracinées (https://institut-iliade.com/incubateur-nid-iliade/).

Ein Land, in dem sich Skorpion und Puffotter in der Küche gute Nacht sagen? Willkommen in Gambia! In diesem kleinen westafrikanischen Land lebt die 70-jährige Jammeh Kadijia. Sie verliebte sich in einen Gambier, trat zum Islam über, heiratete und blieb dort. Sie sagt, dass man die Gambier einfach so nehmen muss, wie sie sind. Verändern kann man sie nicht. Sie zeichnet uns ein Bild von einem Land, in dem es trotz verschiedenster Stämme gesellschaftlich ruhig zugeht. Und wir erfahren, dass man zum täglichen Leben in Gambia am besten bereits feste Einkünfte bezieht. Reich werden kann man mit einer Arbeit dort nur sehr selten. Anschließend blicken wir nach Südkorea. Der Sprachwissenschaftler Marc Herbermann erzählt uns von einer sehr gesangesfreudigen Gesellschaft und einem Land, in dem erstaunlicherweise Vegetarier sehr lange im Restaurant suchen müssen, bis sie etwas finden. Wie das Land mit der Teilung umgeht und mit Corona umgegangen ist, das hören Sie im Laufe der Sendung.

Vor sieben Jahren kamen 24 Gambier in ein kleines Dorf in Oberschwaben. Damals waren alle nach einem Jahr in Arbeit. Wir haben damals berichtet. Doch trotz erfolgreicher Integration macht ihnen die Bürokratie der Ausländerbehörde das Leben schwer.Ellen Häringwww.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Die ReportageDirekter Link zur Audiodatei

Entre las búsquedas que hago a diario, para elegir textos que pueda compartir con ustedes, mis oyentes, encontré una obra hermosa de este autor oriundo de Merlo (Bs As), que se llama "Las Brujas de Carhué y otros cuentos de la abuela" en el que se narran vivencias propias del autor, o sus recuerdos en realidad, de diferentes momentos de su niñez, que eran marcados y protagonizados por los cuentos que contaba su abuela. Los invito a escucharlo y a disfrutar de una historia que, por momentos, tocó las fibras más íntimas de mis propios recuerdos de infante, en la ciudad de Bragado.

Dans cet extrait, Juliette nous raconte ces archipels polynésiens. Pour écouter l'épisode en entier : Le Pacifique en famille au coeur d'un tour du monde   ------------

On retrouve Juliette que nous avions laissée aux Marquises à bord de Kumbaya dans l'épisode 84. Si vous ne l'avez pas écouté, mettez sur pause et reprenez du début pour vous mettre dans l'ambiance. Juliette, Hubert et leurs 4 enfants sont donc en plein tour du monde en bateau. Ils arrivent aux Gambier, un archipel polynésien méconnu. C'est là que Juliette reprend le récit de leur périple. Elle nous racontera ensuite leurs aventures dans les autres archipels puis dans celui des Fidji et enfin Wallis, dernières escales avant de mettre le cap sur la Nouvelle-Zélande. Cet épisode est le dernier de la saison. Mais pas de panique, j'ai prévu quelques chouettes rediffusions pour l'été et on se retrouve en septembre pour de nouveaux voyages en famille. Allez, c'est parti pour la seconde partie du carnet de bord de Juliette dans le Pacifique. ------------ Retrouvez Juliette Instagram : le_voyage_de_kumbaya ------------

County Lines is WYSO's series focusing on small towns and rural communities in the greater Dayton area. Funded by a grant from Ohio Humanities, Community Voices producer Renee Wilde travels down the highways and back roads to tell stories of country life that go beyond the stereotypes. This week, hear three short stories from County Lines about Ohio's rural-urban divide and the spaces in between. Listen to more stories from the series at wyso.org/county-lines.Act 1: Although the term Urban Sprawl was coined in the 1930's, by the ‘70's, it was a hot topic, as increasingly more rural areas, and farmland, were divided up and paved over into strip malls and subdivisions. This spreading ring around our cities where urban sprawl is happening is officially known as the Rural-Urban Fringe. Today on County Lines, producer Renee Wilde takes us there.Act 2: Looking out over the rolling farm fields from the front porch of his 94 acre farm in Gambier, located in Knox county, former Kenyon College professor and former Director of the Rural Life Center, Howard Sacks reflects on what the definition of rural character is, and what it means to him.Act 3: Steven Conn, the W.E. Smith Professor of History at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, is a regular contributor to the Dayton Daily News and the Huffington Post and a frequent lecturer in the US and around the world on a variety of topics. He's also the editor of Origins: Current Events in Historical Perspective. His most recent book is Americans Against the City: Anti-Urbanism in the 20th Century. Today, he shares his thoughts about attitudes and public policy toward immigrants in southwest Ohio.And, later this year, join WYSO and Ohio Humanities again for the forthcoming series The Ohio Country. Native men and women from different tribes and their allies—plus teachers, artists, scholars, parents, landowners, foresters, young people, and historians, too—will tell their stories about the about the lands above the Ohio River, known as the Ohio Country. You can listen in this feed, at WYSO.org, ohiohumanities.org, and in all those other places where you get podcasts.

The Future direction of Footy And Netball has been decided and People are understandably unhappy – The Western Border has been torn apart …..60 years of history will disappear SANFL have a preference for the following Two senior competitions in the region, with the disbandment of the Western Border Football League. Four Clubs moving to the current Kowree Naracoorte Tatiara Football League (KNTFL) to create a strong 14-team competition. Two Clubs (Casterton and East Gambier) to move to the current Mid South Eastern Football League Establishment of a separate junior football structure for the youngest age groups (under 8s – under 11s) to help increase junior participation. The Tyranny of distance will be the biggest issue for the New KNT league – how many parents will want to get up very early to play footy and Netty in Keith. Over 4 hrs of travel!!! How many supporters will give up a day to travel from Keith to Mt Gambier and visa versa? Why was east Gambier selected to go to the Mid SE competition Will we see not only Juniors but player across Footy and netball abandon the game? And the biggest question  - Is there a Better alternative? Shawn Ford SANFL Head of Country Football Talking KNT and Mid SE in 2024See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mais est-on un flic ordinaire quand on a passé des années au sein de la Brigade criminelle, la « Crim' », du 36 quai des Orfèvres et que l'on a « dérouillé » selon le terme consacré, sur des affaires comme Hazan, Empain, Bakthiar, Michel Le Fou, Thierry Paulin, etc.? Quand on y a endossé le rôle de procédurier, ce professionnel des scènes de crime, dont l'œil ne doit rien laisser passer pour que l'enquête s'oriente sur les bons rails ? Est-on un flic ordinaire quand on décrypte l'histoire la plus intime d'une victime dans les pas du médecin légiste ? Est-on un flic ordinaire quand on croise le parcours sanglant de tueurs sans pitié, de victimes sans défense, de voyous sans foi ni loi ? La réponse appartient au lecteur... quand il aura repris sa respiration après cette plongée exceptionnelle dans l'histoire de l'un des services les plus mythiques de la PJ française. Jean-Pierre Birot a passé vingt ans au cinquième étage du 36, quai des Orfèvres. Là se nichait la Crim' avant qu'elle déménage au " Bastion ", le nouveau siège de la Police judiciaire parisienne situé aux Batignolles. À propos du livre : « Mekiro » paru aux éditions Plon Un polar fantastique, singulier et déroutant, dans la lignée de Lovecraft. Dans l'archipel des Gambier, au cœur du Pacifique sud, le cadavre sauvagement mutilé d'un jeune homme est retrouvé dans une église abandonnée. Ce meurtre, survenu au bord d'un lagon réputé maudit, rappelle étrangement ce à quoi avaient déjà été confrontés les premiers missionnaires : des phénomènes primitifs, terrifiants, que l'on disait issus d'un mystérieux monde souterrain. Plongé dans une atmosphère inquiétante, teintée de superstition et de légendes polynésiennes, le capitaine Aloïs Keller mène l'enquête. Mais, alors que ses recherches virent à l'obsession, son flegme et sa raison vacillent. En s'obstinant à percer des secrets enfouis, ne va-t-il pas devenir, à son tour, la proie d'un chasseur monstrueusement insaisissable ? Robin Fischhoff est officier de gendarmerie, spécialisé dans le domaine de la police judiciaire.

Welcome back for episode 4 of Artist & Place! This week we've got an interview with artist, sculptor, and public artists, Karen Snouffer from Gambier, Ohio.  Karen shares ideas behind her work, how work can inhabit awkward, playful and silly moments, how work can create a sense of space that has its own narratives of relationship.  Karen creates abstract mixed-media objects, collage, painting and installation, exploring tensions in movement and how contradiction has the power to expand that tension and beauty. Karen has exhibited nationally inMiami, New York, and LA to name a few. Karen has been the recipient of numerous grants and awards and has work in numbers private collections.  We talk about Robert Bilder's book: The Edge of Chaos: Where Creativity Flourishes and learn more about chaos theory here. We also talk about the work by Eric Kandel in his book Reductionism in Art and Brain Science which you can find more about here.Please Subscribe to the show, leave a review and share this episode on social media or with friends!

Going after a beloved and well financed figure, like Jack Hanna means we will have to prove our beliefs beyond a shadow of a doubt, not only to avoid a slander lawsuit, but also in order to not turn ignorant animal lovers against us when we reveal that their childhood hero was one of the most influential characters in the war against protecting wildcats from being used as pets, props and parts.  I think this film will have the Blackfish effect on the cub petting industry and no one will be able to justify ripping cubs from their moms to use this way any more.    I searched my hard drive for an image of Jack and found this 2000 photo of him and Diana McCourt.  Here is the story I wrote after we rescued 4 tigers and 2 lions from her in 2007:   It took the combined efforts of USDA, undercover agents and concerned citizens seven years to shut down Diana McCourt (aka Cziraky) and her Siberian Tiger Foundation. It wasn't until her landlords, Donnalynn and Christian Laver were able to evict her from the property that Knox County was able to seize the six cats who had been used for years as props in Diana McCourt's “tiger training” scheme.   By the end of the ordeal eye witnesses said that the cats were starving and they still have inadequate shelter from the elements.  Even though McCourt lost her USDA license to operate the tiger-tamer camp in 2000, and permanently in 2006, she still continued to charge people to come into her back yard in Gambier, OH and pet the adult lions and tigers.   The cats would often be chained down so that people could touch them or have their photos made with the cats.  To make the cats more pliable McCourt had their teeth and claws removed. (Joseph still has his canine teeth) Despite the abusive violations to their bodies and mobility, the USDA investigation included eight allegations of attacks on visitors in an 8 month period.   Most cases that 6 years or more to prosecute so animals suffer most or all of their lives waiting for help to arrive.  The only way to put an end to the suffering is to end the private possession of big cats and eliminate the USDA loophole that allows people to keep big cats if they have a $40 USDA license.  It is too easy to get and too hard to lose to provide any sort of enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act.   Hi, I'm Carole Baskin and I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  These are my views and opinions. If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/   I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.     You can help feed the cats at no cost to you using Amazon Smile!

Chad Lever's sudden disappearance from the riding ranks last September mystified trainers, punters and friends. The popular jockey had been juggling a huge workload for several years to honour commitments on the provincial and country circuit. Ten months ago he knew he'd have to take a break before his health suffered. Chad explains that he's been able to control his weight by riding trackwork and competing in barrier trials for his wife Claire. He explains that the constant travelling and wasting had worn him down. Chad talks of his wife's riding career under the name of Claire Nutman and the training career she always envisaged. He looks back on their New York wedding. He acknowledges Claire's good start as a professional trainer. Chad takes us back to his early days in Port Augusta and the valuable tuition he received from his late grandfather Fred Brodie. He remembers being regaled by Fred's tales of the turf. He looks back on his move to Adelaide and an apprenticeship to top trainer Leon Macdonald. He was horrified to see a glut of apprentices already in Macdonald's care. Chad talks of his fellow apprentices and the bizarre run of injuries that propelled him from number four to number one on the pecking order. He talks of his very first race win at Mt. Gambier. The jockey looks back on a productive apprenticeship. He outrode his claims quickly, and got tremendous support from outside stables. Chad pays tribute to Leon Macdonald and Richard Jolly. He looks back on four Adelaide jockey's premierships- two as a junior and two as a fully fledged rider. He says Simon Price gave him a fright in his second senior quest. The hard working jockey speaks of his delight in winning two city races for his uncle Mick Huxtable. He talks of the best horse he's been on to date. He had two race rides on dual Gr 1 winner Umrum. Chad reflects on his move to NSW at the invitation of trainer Sam Kavanough. He acknowledges valuable early support from Bjorn Baker. He looks back on a five year stint with Chris Waller and his many winners for the premier stable. Chad recalls his decision to concentrate on the out of town tracks, and the clientele he was able to build up in a short time. He looks back on a great run of success. He explains that Claire was his regular chauffeur at the time and was present at the Scone meeting in 2017 when he was involved in a nasty race fall. He looks back on many frustrating months out of the saddle. Chad was still riding regularly when Claire saddled up her first winner as a trainer. He followed instructions to the letter to win on Grace Bay at Gundagai. He talks of a couple of promising fillies in his wife's stable currently. Good to chat with a highly regarded jockey who's made his mark in two states.

Joindre l'utile à l'agréable : c'est précisément ce qu'il se passe lorsqu'un banal jeu finit par aller bien au-delà du simple divertissement. .Saviez-vous, par exemple, que le portrait-robot n'était – à l'origine – qu'un jeu inventé par le français Roger Dambron, pour animer son temps de loisir ?Des photos à gogoCertaines personnes tuent le temps en papotant ou en regardant la télévision, d'autres le mettent à profit pour... faire des inventions.Le Français Roger Dambron (originaire d'Étaples-sur-Mer, dans le Nord de la France) fait assurément partie de la deuxième catégorie.En effet, alors qu'il devait rester alité pendant six mois (à cause d'une fâcheuse pneumonie , contractée en 1950) cet ingénieux personnage décida de se distraire en élaborant un jeu aussi amusant qu'original.Tandis qu'il était encore hospitalisé, celui-ci photographia, en effet, ses camarades de cure pour créer des sortes de "puzzles de visages".Une fois rentré chez lui, il continua l'expérience en proposant à des volontaires de se faire tirer le portrait chez Gambier (un des grands photographes d'Étaples).Avec un si grand nombre de clichés à disposition, l'idée du "photo-robot" pouvait progressivement faire son chemin.Un succès mitigéLe principe de ce jeu était simple : il s'agissait de reconstituer le visage d'une personnalité quelconque en assemblant les différentes parties - éparpillées - d'un même faciès.Après avoir fait découvrir ce jeu à ses enfants, Roger Dambron déposa les brevets de son invention (1953) et participa - dans la foulée - au célèbre concours Lépine (qui récompense les inventeurs).La même année, le Nordiste fit toutefois une découverte étonnante : un commissaire officiant non loin de Belloy-sur-Somme (dans les actuels Hauts-de-France) enquêtait sur le meurtre de l'anglaise Janet Marshall... en utilisant la technique du jeu de photo-robot !Sans connaître l'existence de Roger Dambron, ledit commissaire Chabot venait en fait d'introduire le concept du portrait robot au sein de la criminologie !Malgré ce succès de prestige, le concept de Roger Dambron peina toutefois à se vendre sous la forme d'un jeu de société.C'est donc à regret que l'inventeur céda le brevet d'exploitation de son concept à une compagnie parisienne (qui n'enregistra pas, non plus, de meilleures ventes).Les portraits-robots étaient visiblement voués à prospérer dans un bien plus sérieux univers que celui des jeux pour enfants.

Tribute to Sasha Lioness What started out as a simple procedure to remove a mass from her face seemed to all be going great.  She had good respiration, good steady heartbeat, and we were all done and suturing up a little spot on her tongue, where another abrasion and lump had been found, when she stopped breathing.  Dr. Wynn and Dr. Boorstein administered CPR and injections to the heart to try and bring her back, but she was gone.  They are doing a necropsy now to try and determine the cause.  Already they have discovered that her lungs were riddled with tumors.  At nearly 20 years of age, Sasha is the oldest lion we have ever had.   Lioness Sasha has been declawed (and very badly, at that) and defanged) so she struggles to eat. We provide a soft diet for her, but without her teeth it is hard to hold the food and even hard to contain her tongue. You will often see her with her tongue hanging out as a result.   A Lion Pride of a Different Stripe   It took the combined efforts of USDA, undercover agents and concerned citizens seven years to shut down Diana McCourt (aka Cziraky) and her Siberian Tiger Foundation. It wasn't until her landlords, Donnalynn and Christian Laver were able to evict her from the property that Knox County was able to seize the six cats who had been used for years as props in Diana McCourt's “tiger training” scheme.   By the end of the ordeal eye witnesses said that the cats were starving and they still have inadequate shelter from the elements.   Even though McCourt lost her USDA license to operate the tiger-tamer camp in 2000, and permanently in 2006, she still continued to charge people to come into her back yard in Gambier, OH and pet the adult lions and tigers.   The cats would often be chained down so that people could touch them or have their photos made with the cats.   To make the cats more pliable McCourt had their teeth and claws removed. (Joseph still has his canine teeth) Despite the abusive violations to their bodies and mobility, the USDA investigation included eight allegations of attacks on visitors in an 8 month period.http://youtu.be/kIVp21JQJs4 In May of 2007 Diana McCourt emailed Carole Baskin asking if she could move her operation to Tampa and bring her cats to Big Cat Rescue.  Our response was that her cats were welcome here but her brand of animal abuse was not.  By August McCourt had been evicted and Knox County was awarded custody of the four tigers and two lions.  Dean Vickers, the State Director for the Ohio branch of the HSUS contacted Big Cat Rescue and asked if we could take the cats, but six more big cats increases our annual budget by $45,000.00.    When Sarabi, our lioness died, her half acre enclosure was opened up so that Nikita our only other lioness could have the run of both half acre enclosures.  This large enclosure has an open roof and is only suitable for lions because they don't climb, or very old, declawed tigers, who would be unable to climb.  Taking on two lions, age 9 and 13, who have a 20 year life expectancy means a cost of $15,000.00 annually and $150,000.00 in the long run.  Lions often end up in canned hunts, especially males who are coveted as wall trophies, so we felt certain our donors would help us rescue these two cats.  Our board convened and agreed that the lions would be rescued as soon as we could make travel arrangements for them.   Calling with the good news, that at least the lions would be spared, we were told by the landlord, who has been caring for the cats since evicting Diana McCourt, that the male tiger, Nikita, would be heartbroken that his best friend in the world, Joseph the lion, would be leaving.  As the conversation unfolded it appears that for the last 13 years, two tigers and two lions have shared a cage.  (Joseph only coming along in the past 9 yrs)  Instead of being elated for the lions, we now felt sick that they would be separated from the only pride (albeit tigers) they had ever known.  And thinking about how they would feel, of course, led to thinking about how the tigers left behind would feel.   We appealed to our supporters, asking if they would be willing to help us rescue all four cats who have lived together and the response was an overwhelming, “YES!”   On Oct. 19th Big Cat Rescue's President Jamie Veronica, VP Cathy Neumann, Operations Manager Scott Lope and Veterinarian Dr. Liz Wynn, DVM flew to Columbus, OH to rendezvous with the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) staff and a driver and vet tech from the Animal Sanctuary of the United States (ASUS) at the Columbus Zoo at 6 am on the morning of the 20th.  From there the entourage drove an hour to the Gambier, OH facility and met with the property owner and the Knox County Animal Control Officer, Rich Reed who had been granted possession of the six cats.   Within just a few hours all of the cats were safely loaded and on the way to Florida where they arrived at 6 am the morning of the 21st.  While the weary drivers slept, the Big Cat Rescue team unloaded Nikita, Simba, Sasha and Joseph into their new enclosure, which is a little more than half an acre of lakeside living with high grass, cave like dens and hills from which they can survey their new kingdom.   Hi, I'm Carole Baskin and I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened.

This week brings us a fake hospital, a professional feline, a dumb fraternity ritual, and cuddles from a burnt, disembodied arm. Kala talks about The Crescent Hotel & Spa in Eureka Springs, AK. This hotel located in the Ozarks has a complicated past that contributes to it being one of the most haunted hotels in America. Brittany tells us tales from Kenyon College in Gambier, OH. Students that attend this college often leave with many ghostly tales from all around campus including the dormitories, lecture halls, pool area, and surrounding campus area. Both locations are packed with stories from guests and students that show just how haunted they really are! This episode is sponsored by Earth Rider Brewery.

Join Coach Cahill and Kenyon College Head coach James Rosenbury as they discuss having tough conversations, helping freshman through their transition and much more! 2020 was coach James Rosenbury's second at Kenyon. A year ago, he helped put the Lords on the rebound with a few wins including a come-from-behind 32-31 double-overtime victory in the season opener at The Catholic University of America. Prior to coming to Gambier, he worked NCAA Division III Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Rosenbury tackled many duties at Macalester. Most recently, he served as the Scots' offensive line coach, special teams coordinator and director of both football operations and recruiting. In previous seasons, he was the program's running backs and tight ends coach. While at Macalester, Rosenbury helped move the Scots from a 4-6 record in 2015 to a 7-3 record in 2016. Overall, the program was 21-19 in his four seasons there. A 2008 graduate of Case Western Reserve University, Rosenbury remained on campus and served as an assistant coach, working with offensive backs for three seasons. He contributed to a 31-3 overall record, was part of three University Athletic Association (UAA) Coaching Staff of the Year awards and helped steer the Spartans to three NCAA playoff appearances. Rosenbury moved on to work for one season at Grinnell College, where he coached running backs and saw the team move from a 2-8 record to a 6-4 mark. He then spent two years at University of Redlands, earning a master's degree in higher education and serving as an assistant coach for the Bulldogs, who logged a combined 14-5 record and made an appearance in the 2011 NCAA Division III playoffs. Prior to making the move to Macalester, Rosenbury returned to Case in 2013 as an assistant coach for two more seasons. In that time, he worked with offensive backs, special teams and served as assistant recruiting coordinator. He coached four all-conference backs, as well as the UAA Special Teams Player of the Year.  "During my college coaching career, I've had the privilege of working at some of the best Division III high-academic research universities and liberal arts colleges. I love student-athletes who want to be challenged in the classroom, as well as on the field," Rosenbury said.  "I like to think of myself as energetic and enthusiastic. I am a detailed oriented coach and believe in setting clear expectations and holding people accountable," Rosenbury added. "At the same time, I'm positive and do my best to compliment before I criticize. Football is a game and games are supposed to be fun. I see my job as providing an amazing experience and creating an environment where student-athletes can compete and pursue their passions both on the football field and in their academic lives." During his playing days, Rosenbury was a running back at Case. He rushed for 1,712 yards and nine touchdowns during his career and was a two-time All-UAA selection. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/coachcahillshow/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/coachcahillshow/support

Located in Gambier Ohio, Kenyon College was founded in 1824, which has given it ample time…197 years to be exact…to collect its fair share of ghosts. A fraternity initiation gone wrong, a destructive dormitory fire, an elevator shaft incident, a car crash, and a diving accident are just some of the misfortunes that plague this university's past.  In fact, one of these tragedies nearly destroyed its reputation, causing enrollment to plummet, and just as the college recovered, another catastrophic event threatened its continuation once more.   Follow the Podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crimesandwitchdemeanors Submit your feedback or personal stories to crimesandwitchdemeanors@gmail.com  Like The Podcast on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/crimesandwitchdemeanors  Episode Transcript: Available below the sources in the show notes Visit the website: https://www.crimesandwitchdemeanors.com    Sources: College installs bars on Bullseye windows.

Atloona Mirror, page 1.   TRANSCRIPT:               Hello, and welcome to another episode of Crimes & Witch-Demeanors, I'm your host Joshua Spellman.  On this podcast we tell tall tales as they're traditionally told and then dive into historical and archival records in order to separate fact from fiction.             Today's episode is a suggestion from a listener, Lucas, who alerted me to his haunted alma mater: Kenyon College.  When he told me his college was haunted I was like “yeah okay it's a haunted college” but I was shocked to find out just how haunted and how rich the real history of this college is.  It is a haunted college.  Sorry for doubting you.  There's a reason Kenyon College always makes its way to the top of listicles touting America's Most Haunted Colleges.    Located in Gambier Ohio, Kenyon College was founded in 1824, which has given it ample time…197 years to be exact…to collect its fair share of ghosts. A fraternity initiation gone wrong, a destructive dormitory fire, an elevator shaft incident, a car crash, and a diving accident are just some of the misfortunes that plague this university's past.  In fact, one of these tragedies nearly destroyed its reputation, causing enrollment to plummet, and just as the college recovered, another catastrophic event threatened its continuation once more.               We'll investigate all of these tales today, but first, let me tell you the – alleged – story of Kenyon College's most infamous tragedy…that of poor Stewie Pierson.           October's prickly night air licked the back of Stuart Pierson's neck, goosepimples emerging from his skin like the cloaked figures surfacing from the shadows in woods around him.  If it were anyone else, they might be scared, but he knew who they were and they were the reason why he was there: he was a pledging the Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity and this was the beginning of his initiation.   The hooded figures glided silently into the clearing, forming a circle around Stuart and the other pledges.   They said nothing.  Simply stood in the dark, heads bowed, moving at a glacial pace towards the pledges.  One of the other boys made a shrill sound like a mouse.   Stuart's looked at each cloaked figure in turn, knowing that beneath one of the dark robes was his father.  He strained his eyes to see through the murky haze of the night but he couldn't make out a single face through the inky shadows cast by the figure's large hoods; just the occasional puff of smoke as their warm breath met the cool autumn air.   Suddenly the figures stopped in unison, mere feet from the pledges, who were now shaking.  Even Stuart could feel his body hum.  He told himself it was because he was cold, and not the spindly fingers of dread wrapping around his soul.   Without warning the figures leapt toward the pledges, grabbing them, separating them from each other, and they chanted “DELTA KAPPA EPSILON!” as they threw burlap sacks over the heads of the frightened boys.   The world began spinning around Stuart as he was swept up into the air and carried off into the woods.  What was going to happen?  He knew he was safe.  He knew it.  This was all part of the process.  But the grip of dread around him grew tighter and tighter.  He felt as he might choke.   The cloaked figures carried Stuart for what felt like hours, though it may have only been mere minutes.  Stuart was disoriented and sleep deprived – having waited up all night the day before waiting for his father's train to come in.  He was simultaneously alert and on the edge of sleep, which only heightened his sense of confusion.   Eventually, Stuart heard the sound of a river.  The Kokosing?  It must be, but where were they going?  He felt now that he was being carried at an incline, they were going uphill.  The soft footsteps on the soil turned to something more metallic.  A bridge?  Then it hit him.  Clarity pierced through his mental fog – the train tracks.  They were on trestle bridge.   Abruptly, Stuart was falling.  Was he thrown off the bridge?  THUD.  Wincing in pain, barely able to breathe through the burlap, his back ached.  That was his answer.  No, he wasn't hurled from the bridge – the fraternity brothers merely dropped him onto the tracks.  Mercifully, the burlap hood was removed and he took in large gasps of the chill October air.   Bewildered, Stuart looked around him and tried to regain his bearings, the cloaked figures formed a tight circle around him…staring…silent…unmoving…and without warning they chanted “DELTA KAPPA EPSILON!” and pinned him down to the train tracks.   They pulled ropes from beneath their billowing cloaks and began to bind his legs together.  “What are they doing?  Are they insane?” he thought?  Then he felt a hand wrench his left arm and pin it down.  Then his right.  They began tying his hands to the tracks as he screamed.  The cloaked figures didn't move, they just continued their knotwork, one of them stuffing a handkerchief in Stuart's mouth.   Stuart began to panic now.  His face was flushed, he imagined it was steaming in the cold autumn air.  Sweat dripped down his brow and into his eyes, stinging.  Or were those tears?  Stuart felt the dread in his soul once more, panic filling every bone in his body.  He couldn't breathe, he felt like he was dying.    And then…Stuart felt a familiar hand on his shoulder.  His father.  His muscled eased, though he still screamed through the handkerchief.  “Don't worry, son” his father whispered “there's no train coming tonight, calm down, you'll be safe.  We'll return within the hour.”   His father stood up  as the other figures pulled their final knots.  They didn't seem to notice his father tipped him off.  Stuart screamed and thrashed in his bindings as the figures walked away.  For show, as to not give away his father's tip.   Once he could no longer hear their footfalls, Stuart relaxed.  It's going to be okay.  It's going to be okay, he told himself.  Now even more exhausted than before he felt his consciousness slowly slipping.  He welcomed it.  If anything, he could use this hour to nap before the fraternity came back to untie him.   With his eyelids too heavy to keep open, Stuart closed them and began to dream.   After some time in a deep sleep, Stuart felt himself being shaken awake.  As he opened his eyes he didn't see his father but instead the bright light of an oncoming train.                     If it wasn't obvious, poor Stuart Lathrop Pierson was struck by a train.  It turns out that while a train wasn't supposed to be coming that night, an unscheduled eastbound train was headed to Mount Vernon for repairs.  The conductor and crew didn't know they had struck anything and so it never stopped….they only noticed something was amiss once they arrived at Mount Vernon and found pieces of fabric and blood smeared on the train.    Now how much of my fictional tale was true?  It's honestly very hard to say, and who you ask will tell you a different story.  There was so much controversy involved in the investigation and the journalistic integrity at the time was, as we well know on this podcast…questionable at best.   When Stuart was struck, his watched stopped and so it's safe to say he was struck at 9:41pm.  When his fraternity brothers, and perhaps his father, found his body around 10:00pm. it was still warm. They hurriedly removed it from the tracks before another train came.  Stuart's mangled body was taken to the home of William Pierce, the College's president.  Here is where things become suspicious.  Instead of calling William Scarborough, the Gambier coroner, Pierce instead called a local physician to examine the body.   The next thing that undermined any hope of an investigation into the incident was Stuart's father, Newbold Pierson, who arranged for a special train to transport his son's body home before the sun rose the next day…and, conveniently, the President of the college didn't tell police about this departure until after the train had already left the station, along with Stuart's corpse and any potential clues that may have lent us clarity.   Someone must have called Gwen Stefani because the newspapers at the time went absolutely bananas.  B-a-n-a-n-a-s.  Some of the newspaper illustrations at the time alone were so outlandish and sensational.  I found one in the St. Joseph News-Press Gazette published November 7, 1905 that shows a young main tried to a train bridge, in almost a crucifixion pose, with a skull lantern on his chest.  That's only the tip of the iceberg.  I went ahead and put that on the podcast Instagram along with other goodies from today's episode, so go and have a look!  @CrimesAndWitchDemeanors.   In an article titled Death on the Tracks by Mark Ellis in the Kenyon College Alumni Bulletin, he describes another cartoon from the Los Angeles Sunday Times wherein a train is drawn ripping into a body with its decapitated head flying through the air.  Maybe it's best that this publication isn't available online, Instagram probably would have taken my post down!   Ellis also outlines some of the outlandish headlines that came out of papers at that time such as “Stuart Pierson's Head Cut off and Placed in a Lunch Basket”  In my own research, a lunch basket was a recurring theme in newspaper articles but nothing of his head being placed in it – just that his lunch basket was found on the tracks.,    There seems to have been a lot of contention between President Pierce and the coroner and detective investigating the case.  The detective, who has the most amazing name of all time, Detective Grim, accompanied Coroner Scarborough to view the body and had this to say after viewing it:   “The wounds on the right wrist and the left ankle of the young man certainly seemed to have been made by cords or ropes encircling them, while he was using all of his great strength in trying to free himself.”   Both the coroner and the detective made public claims about these ligature marks, oh my god, look at me using vocabulary, claiming Stuart was bound.  It wasn't helped by newspaper outlets who apparently had a witness, a young farmer, who claims he saw Stuart being led to the tracks by a rope around his neck, with his hands bounds together.   Naturally, President Pierce could not have any of this.  While one day a headline might say “Facts Point to Ghastly Crime: Former Law Student Led Toward Railroad Track Bound with Rope” an article the next day would boldly claim “NOT TIED TO TRACK: President of Kenyon College Derides Coroner's Theory of Pierson's Death”   The long and short is we'll never know what truly happened, the investigation is too muddied to draw any certain conclusions.  Taking pledges out to remote areas and leaving them there for a time were a common initiation ritual at the time.  Whether he was bound or not is a point of debate.  However, it's safe to say theories involving chloroform which were purported by papers or that his own father tied him to the tracks are most likely false.  His father was probably waiting in the “Kenyon Bullseye” which I can only ascertain to be this circular window in one of the college buildings where both this haunting, and others, take place, it is also where Stuart uttered the last words to his father “Goodnight pop, I'll see you after awhile”   In fact, the Kenyon's West Wing Bullseye is where Pierson's spirit is most often glimpsed and appears to be the epicenter of tragic events – as recently as 2016, a student fell out of the bullseye window, leading to metal bars being installed for safety.   Many students who have lived in that room tend to avoid staying there on the anniversary of the incident.  John Hepp, class of '04 was one of the students who decided to stay in the room that night.  He went out for the evening, but when he came back the bullseye window was wide open – a window that is notoriously difficult to open, so it couldn't have been the wind.  Was it old Stuart Pierson?   Another night, Hepp was lying in bed with his girlfriend asleep beside him. when he felt an icy touch on the back of his neck.  Thinking it was his girlfriend, he turned, but she was fast asleep.  Alarmed, he jumped out of bed and turned on the light, which is when he notice the lock, presumably installed by maintenance, on the small door in his closet was unhinged. He got a flashlight and opened the door, which revealed a small crawlspace.  Inside the crawlspace where countless signatures of former students, pledge books, Delta Kappa Epsilon memorabilia, and other trinkets.  However, one engraving caught Hepp's attention: the initials SLP with the date of 1905.   Students also claim to see Stuart's spirit near the train tracks, waiting in the bullseye for his father, and roaming the campus.  But he does not wander Kenyon College alone.  He is joined by a litany of other spirits, which we'll cover briefly, including first-hand encounters of students and faculty.   Perhaps the most well-known group of ghosts is those that perished in the 1949 dormitory fire.  On February 26, 1949, after attending the sophomore dance, students began returning to their dormitories in Middle Kenyon with their dates.  Some had stayed awake in the Middle Kenyon parlor, burning a fire in one of the “new” fireplaces – the old fireplaces had long been covered up and would not be seen again until the following morning when the building was reduced to ash.   Stray sparks from the fireplace cut into one of the lost chimneys and fallen into an old flue.  From the flue these sparks found their way into a space between the first and second floors.  Here, the sparks smoldered and gases and smoke built up before erupting into the second and third floors around 4:00am.   Seven students (Erenest Ahwajee, Edward Brout, Albert Lewis, Martin Mangel, Jack McDonald, Marc Peck, George Pincus, Stephan Shepard, and Colin Woodworth) lived on the third floor of Middle Kenyon and perished in the fire.  Meanwhile, two other students died from skull fractures and internal injuries after, in a futile attempt to save their lives leapt from the building.   The seven aforementioned students were not found for a few days as the ashes and ruins were too hot to search through.  The building was eventually reconstructed from scratch being nearly identical to the original structure.   Since the fire, numerous reports of ghostly apparitions and phantom sounds have been heard.  People have heard poundings on their doors and cries of “Get out!” or one individual who heard a knocking on his door and someone screaming “Ed, wake up!  Fire!”  It turns out that room had once belonged to Edward Brout.   Now my favorite sighting in regards to the fire is this one.  Someone had seen apparitions in the building but…something was off.  On the fourth floor, he spotted ghostly figures but they were only visible from the knees up.  When he went down to the third floor he could only see feet suspended in the air.  Upon investigation in the college archives, it was revealed the new structure's floors had been built 18 inches higher than the original building.  It appears the ghosts are trapped in the building's old floorplan.   The ghosts feet can sometimes be seen grazing student's heads as they walk the third floor.   Now, I mentioned the university archives, which actually has a folder in their collection dedicated to the hauntings of the college.  College Historian, Thomas Stamp states that the college's “haunted reputation is relatively a modern thing and that “The ghost stories are certainly fun and potentially scary but most of the stories are questionable”  Conversely, the stories that are most well-known, those above, are rooted in fact.   Some ghost stories, however, are purely legend, while some are real but have been embellished by students over the years as Kenyon's reputation for being haunted has become a major draw…or deterrent to potential students. A reddit user expressed concern in the r/Kenyon forum about the college's reputation for being haunted and wanted to ask current and past students if they believed it was or not.  Here are some of my favorite answers:   “Yes”   “Lemme put it this way. I, like you, don't really believe in magic/the supernatural. That being said, if anywhere is haunted, Kenyon is.”   Another student states, “A buddy of mine and I decided to stay in a dorm room where a murder homicide occurred. The girlfriend apparently stabbed her boyfriend and tried to hide the body in an elevator shaft. After that she took a plunge out of her 7th story dorm room window.” And goes on to talk about a ghostly encounter of a slamming window.   This version of the story…is largely false.  It does involve an elevator…but that's about it.  In 1979, a pair of friends was coming home to Caples from a party late one night around 2:30am.  One of the friends decided to take the stairs up to their room, while the other opted to take the elevator up to his girlfriend's room.  The elevator ended up getting stuck between the seventh and eighth floors, and the student pried the doors open and attempted to jump to the floor below.  Unfortunately, they missed and he fell down the elevator shaft where he was found by a security guard the next morning.  The student later died of his injuries in the hospital.   Many women Caples experience waking up in the night with someone on top of them or the feeling of someone on their beds.  However, the best story to come from Caples is recounted in Wendy MacLeod's article The Haunted Kenyon Tour in the Kenyon College Alumni Bulletin.   In the summer of 1995 after all students had gone home, there was one very eventful night in Caples.  Safety Officer Dan Turner was working this particular night and was told he should keep an eye on Caples in particular because showers and lights had been found on while there was no one in the building.  Around 5:00am Dan got a call over his radio “All units to Caples!”   The switchboard operator had received three calls in a row from rooms 511, 611, and 711 respectively.  Each phone call was the same: a woman screaming into the receiver and hanging up.    Dan was the first to arrive at Caples and waited for the others to arrive.  He positioned himself so that he could keep an eye on both entrances and say no one enter or exit the building.  Once the other officers arrived, one of them stayed in the lobby while the others searched every room in the building for an intruder, locking the doors behind them.  They were so thorough in their search they even checked the trap door that led to the roof and made sure it was padlocked.  There was no one in the building…but things were just getting started.   They found a shower was running on the fifth floor, with steam was wafting out into the hall.  When the officers searched the three rooms where the calls had originated they found the lights were on and the phones were unplugged.  The officers plugged the phones back in, turned the lights off, locked the doors, and prepared to leave the building.   But, before they could begin to leave, another call, just like those before, scream and all, came from room 811.  One of the officers rushed to the room and the light was turned on, but the door was still locked.  He opened the door to find the phone in this room was also unplugged.  Before the officer could voice his confusion he heard the elevator begin its descent.   The elevator in the building stays on the last floor it visited and will only move if it's called on another floor.  The officer asked the others if they had called for the elevator.  Negative.  Who was going down in the elevator?   All the officers raced down the stairs trying to catch the perpetrator.  When they reached the ground floor, they found the officer who was supposed to be in the lobby outside, with his face pressed against the glass saying to the others he wasn't going to wait for the elevator door to open by himself!  No one was found that night and the incident was listed as an “unexplained event”   Now this story is still rather modern, so it's interesting that so many legends surround it.  I found the college newspaper from the time of the incident and the mystery surrounding the events of that night.  This article explains in detail all the possible ways that the accident could have happened, complete with diagrams of how the elevator was stuck and the boy's rationale for doing what he did (…why did he try and drop to the seventh floor when the eighth floor was easily and safely accessible? Why did no one hear him scream?  Why was his coat found stuck in the doors of the elevator?).  Long story short?  A mystery.  But the murder-suicide theory by the reddit poster is at least debunked by this news story.  Some people suspect foul play, others suspect a prank gone wrong, while others think it was just a tragic accident.   There are more ghosts, but I'm running out of time!  So we're doing a lightning round!      There's a ghost in Schaffer dance studio, which was once Schaffer pool and known as the “Greenhouse” because of its glass roof.  Versions of the story vary, but essentially an air force cadet during World War II died in a diving accident, which led to the removal of the diving board.  Accounts vary, some say he bounced too high and broke through the…literal glass ceiling…broke his neck and drowned.  Other versions leave him decapitated.  Either way—man dead, diving board gone.   Ghostly wet footprints leading to the locker rooms are still found at night in the dance studio, despite there not being a pool in the building for decades.  Schaffer is known as the creepiest place on campus to safety officers and maintence workers.   The truth?  World War II did host cadets enrolled in the Air Force Meteorology Program but there are no records of anyone dying.  The three-tier diving board was removed in the 1950's – not because of an accident but because the new coach discovered the pool was only 9 feet deep instead of the required 12 and there was a dangerous ledge between the deep and shallow ends of the pool where kids would often come up from a dive covered in blood from crashing into it.   The Gates of Hell are two pillars that if you walk between them at midnight as the church bells chime, you'll be transported straight to hell.  Do…I even need to debunk this?  That is…I mean…Ohio is as close as you can get to hell on earth aside from Florida, so maybe it's not too far off.   Lastly, we have Hill theatre which is apparently haunted by a car crash that took place on the site of the theatre in 1937, before it was built.  However, old maps say there was never a road in that spot.   However, that doesn't stop weird things from happening – most notably the ghost light (lights left on stages to repel…ghosts…or help them see?  No one knows which is which and that's confusing) inexplicably becomes unscrewed or the light is blocked out by a light passing by.   And ohmygod that's the end of today's episode.  When Lucas told me his college was haunted I was like “Oh yeah, sure it is” but I did not expect the journey through time I was put on!  There is so much I didn't get to cover, this could have easily been two parts but that feels like torture.   As always, view historic images of the stories and documents mentioned in this episode on the Instagram page, leave a review on iTunes if that's your listening platform, and just a huge thank you for listening and accepting me back into your life!   So, please, don't join a fraternity…for so many different reasons, always take the stairs, and of course…stay spooky.  Bye!

La exponencial expansión del Tahuantinsuyo, que de un pequeño curacazgo se convirtió en el imperio más grande del Hemisferio Sur en menos de medio siglo, se dio sobre todo gracias a la figura de Túpac Inca Yupanqui: con sus conquistas el naciente estado logró extenderse desde el actual Ecuador hasta la zona central de Chile. Sin embargo, las crónicas cuentan que, siendo todavía auqui (el equivalente a un príncipe occidental), Túpac Yupanqui emprendió una travesía sin igual, no por tierra, sino a través del inmenso océano Pacífico... ¿Hasta dónde habrá llegado el Hatun Auqui?, ¿a islas americanas o todavía más lejos, al continente que hoy conocemos como Oceanía?; ¿dónde pudo conseguir los trofeos (personas negras, restos de un animal desconocido, una silla de latón, oro y plata) con los que regresó victorioso al Cusco?; y sobre todo, ¿qué tan real puede resultar este relato? ¡No se pierdan esta increíble historia! ¡Gracias a nuestros Patreons que hacen posible llegar semana a semana con los episodios de Por las Rutas!

This is The EdUp Experience President Series Episode #61. In this episode, sponsored by MDT Marketing, we welcome Dr. Sean Decatur, President at Kenyon College! With a recent 100M gift, Sean and Kenyon College are doubling down on the residential experience. Sean believes that liberal arts institutions are critical to a bright future - these institutions teaching writing skills and self-efficacy development. To Sean, the benefits of a small college are about connections and belonging, which is the hard work of diversity. Sean understands that actively recruiting students, and giving them a reason to stay, is important work for the future of Kenyon College. Sean M. Decatur became the 19th president of Kenyon College on July 1, 2013. Shortly after arriving in Gambier, he led the community in a yearlong conversation to identify the strategic initiatives that would propel the College into its third century. The result is the Kenyon 2020 Plan, which lays out three priorities: continuing to attract a diverse group of academically talented students; preparing students for post-graduation success; and building community on campus, in the region, and among the worldwide Kenyon family. In October 2018, the College announced a $300-million comprehensive campaign to support these priorities, buoyed by a $75-million lead gift, the largest in the College's history.

If technology allows, we'll have another catch-up with Alan Forrest and the crew of KiwiDream who are now in Gambier.

Dr Carolyn Lam: Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast summary, and backstage pass to the journal and its editors. I'm Dr Carolyn Lam, associate editor from the National Heart Center and Duke National University of Singapore. Dr Greg Hundley: I'm Greg Hundley, Associate Editor, Director of the Poly Heart Center at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia. Dr Carolyn Lam: Today's feature discussion is the first huge look at the global, regional and national burden of calcific aortic valve disease and degenerative mitral valve disease over a huge period, from 1990 to 2017. Very important discussion coming right up after this coffee chat. Greg, do you mind if I go first? Dr Greg Hundley: Go ahead, Carolyn. Dr Carolyn Lam: The first paper I want to talk about applies novel single cell transcriptomics to unveil new insights into pressure overload cardiac hypertrophy. Here's your quiz, Greg, ready? Dr Greg Hundley: Well, I'm choking on my coffee here, but go ahead. Dr Carolyn Lam: All right, I was thinking of asking you about single cell transcriptomics but let me just tell you the results. Single cell RNA sequencing is a new and rapidly advancing technique that can comprehensively characterize gene expression and relationships among individual cells. Dr Wang from Fuwai Hospital, National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and Peking Union Medical College and colleagues analyze the transcriptomes of 11,492 single cells and identified major cell types, including both cardiomyocytes and non-cardiomyocytes based on their molecular signatures. They did this at different stages during the progression of pressure overload induced cardiac hypertrophy in a mouse model. Their findings not only illustrated dynamically changing cell type crosstalk doing pathological cardiac hypertrophy, but also shed light on strategies for cell type and stage specific interventions in cardiac disease. For example, subtype switching of macrophages was found to be a key event underlying the transition from normal to decline dejection fraction in cardiac hypertrophy. Thus, targeting macrophages in hypertrophy for example, during the switch could attenuate disease progression. All of this is discussed in an editorial by doctors, Zhang and Zhou from University of Alabama in Birmingham. Dr Greg Hundley: Oh wow. Carolyn very important macrophage infiltration and another role for those, that cell type. Well, my first paper gets at the topic of reversal of these factor Xa inhibitors. In this particular patient population, it's the situation where we're dealing with intracranial hemorrhage. The article comes from Dr G Morgan Jones and colleagues from the University of Tennessee Health Sciences Center. Since the approval of oral factor Xa inhibitors, there have been few papers published really regarding the ability to neutralize the anti-coagulate effects of these agents, particularly after intercranial hemorrhage. Dr Carolyn, this is a multi-center, retrospective, observational cohort study of 433 patients. Then it received apixaban, or rivaroxaban, and then developed an intercranial hemorrhage. They then subsequently received prothrombin complex concentrates in that period of time between 2015 and 2019. Dr Carolyn Lam: Wow. How did these participants who had intracranial hemorrhage, how did they fare after receiving these prothrombin concentrates? Dr Greg Hundley: Yeah, well, administration of the prothrombin complex concentrates after, apixaban or rivaroxaban in the setting of intracranial hemorrhage, provided a high rate of excellent or good hemostasis. That was in nearly 82%, coupled with an adverse consequence of 3.8% of those experiencing a thrombosis. Thrombosis occurred in 25 patients who had a total of 26 thrombotic events of which 22 occurred in the first 14 days, following the prothrombin complex concentrate administration. One patient had documentation of an infusion related reaction. For the full cohort of patients, in the hospital mortality was 19% and the median ICU care and hospital length of stay were two and six days respectively. Carolyn, these cohort analyses seemed to demonstrate the possibility of success and similar to other observational cohort studies. The results of this study suggest that future randomized control trials evaluating the clinical efficacy of these prothrombin complex concentrates in patients with factor Xa inhibitor related intercranial hemorrhage are needed. Dr Carolyn Lam: Nice, Greg. You know what? I'm going to start with a quiz. True or false, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction is characterized by blunting of the positive relationship between heart rate and left ventricular contractility known as the force frequency relationship? Dr Greg Hundley: Well, Carolyn, this is one of those where if I go 50/50, you'll knock out the wrong answer. Let's say, I'm going to go, true. Dr Carolyn Lam: You're so right, Greg. This next paper really deals with this. It's from corresponding author, Dr Witt from Leeds Institute of Cardiovascular and Metabolic Medicine, University of Leeds in UK and colleagues who previously described that, tailoring the rate responsive programming of cardiac implantable electronic devices in patients with HFrEF based upon individuals noninvasive force frequency relationship data, really improves exercise capacity. Addressing this reduce force frequency relationship and HFrEF.  Now in the current paper, they sought to examine whether using force frequency relationship data to tailor heart rate response in HFrEF with inpatients, with HFrEF and cardiac implantable electronic devices would favorably influence exercise capacity and left ventricular function six months later. They conducted a single center, double blind, randomized parallel group trial in 83 patients with HFrEF. With a cardiac implantable electronic device and randomized to tailored rate response programming based on these individuals force frequency relationship versus conventional age guided rate response programming. The primary outcome measure was changed in walk time on a treadmill walk test. Dr Greg Hundley: Wow, Carolyn. So this is a really detailed analysis. What did they find? Dr Carolyn Lam: They found that rate adaptive cardiac implantable electronic device programming taking into account the at normal force frequency relationship in these patients, was associated with improved exercise time. Force frequency relationship guided heart rate settings had no adverse effects on left ventricular structure and function. While conventional settings were associated with a reduction in left ventricular ejection fraction. Out of the box age guided rate adaptive pacing, might be a sub optimal choice in patients with heart failure and an assessment of the force frequency relationship might be of clinical benefit in facilitating personalized rate adaptive programming. Dr Greg Hundley: Very nice. Dr Carolyn Lam: Thanks Greg, but there's other stuff I want to tell you about in this issue. There's a research letter by Dr Gambier on Molecular Imaging of Infective Endocarditis with Floral Multiple Trials PET-CT. This is the first time that a Florine 18 PET tracer has been used to specifically image bacterial infection of the heart valves with high sensitivity and specificity in an animal model. Dr Greg Hundley: Oh, good job, Carolyn. Those flooring tracers, very interesting. Another application perhaps. Well, in a perspective piece, I have an article Carolyn from Dr Orly Vardeny from University of Minnesota Medical School in Minneapolis and remembers the prior cardiovascular complications from influenza. And how those experiences may be useful in anticipating some of the cardiovascular complications that we may see from SARS-CoV-2. In a separate article, Dr Aatish Garg and collaborators from VCU Health, present an ECG case of syncope in an individual with severe aortic stenosis status post bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grassing. Who also has paroxysmal AV block? Then finally, Carolyn, Professor Concepcion Peiró from Universidad Autónoma in Madrid. Has an on my mind pace discusses ACE inhibition and our abuse in relation to the SARS-CoV-2 to virus bonding to ACE two binding sites within the respiratory epithelium. Well, Carolyn, how about we get on to that feature discussion? I can't wait to hear about aortic and mitral valve disease over nearly 30 years. Dr Carolyn Lam: Let's go Greg. Nondramatic valvular heart disease is really common throughout the world. However, no studies have previously estimated their global or national burden, that is until today's feature paper. That's part of the Global Burden of Disease, or GBD, 2017 study. I am so pleased to have with us a corresponding author, Dr Greg Roth from University of Washington. As well as Victoria Delgado, our associate editor from Leighton University Medical Center. What a great topic to discuss. Nondramatic valvular heart disease, meaning calcific aortic valve disease, degenerative module valve disease, all the stuff we see and have to deal with now. Greg, could you please tell us about this GBD effort and really what you found? Dr Greg Roth: Let me tell you a little bit about the Global Burden of Disease Study and then why we wanted to explore this question and then what we found. I am the lead for cardiovascular research at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation in Seattle at the University of Washington. We're the coordinating center for the Global Burden of Disease Study. It's now in its second decade, and it's a large-scale effort to quantify the lost health due to early death and disability for every country in the world. This is a huge effort with over 5,000 people around the world working on it. We work closely with governments around the world, as well as the World Health Organization, as well as county, state, and other authorities in the US. Our goal is really to bring together all of the evidence in the world to bear on important health policy questions. One of the areas that I've had a long interest in is valve disease. I'm a practicing cardiologist at our county hospital here in Seattle, as well as an echocardiographer. I was really excited by the idea of bringing together my passion for taking care of patients with valve disease and looking at how to use diagnostic imaging to take better care of them and the disease modeling research that I do at the institute. We decided a couple of years ago after exploring the global patterns of rheumatic heart disease, that we would turn our focus towards these really important questions of non-rheumatic valve disease. There's obviously a very large literature and lots of active research around the clinical pathways that we need to follow for patients with calcific valve disease and mitral valve disease that's not due to rheumatic causes. Obviously in recent years, we've got amazing technologies and interventions that we're using more and more frequently like percutaneous interventions. However, we had not done the work to turn this really interesting tool, the Global Burden of Disease Study, towards looking at these important causes. We pulled together every data source we could find on the population level burden of nonrheumatic valve disease and then using a range of techniques, and we rely heavily on tools that come out of data science. These include computer disease modeling tools that we've developed as well as ensemble models and other sort of big data approaches to pull all of this together into comparable, consistent estimates of death and prevalence. Then we're also really interested in using those to estimate what we call summary metrics of health, like disability adjusted life years. We do this for a very long time series. So we went back all the way to 1990 and we looked all the way to 2017. Then we're able to get a really good sense of not only what the impact of these diseases are, but how they compare to the 350 other diseases that we estimated in exactly the same way for the Global Burden of Disease Study. Also, where is the burden of these particular conditions going up? Where is it going down? We're really excited to be able to pull that together into this paper. In which we report the global, regional, and national burdens of calcific aortic valve disease and degenerative mitral valve disease. As well as a right sided valve disease that's not due to congenital endocarditis causes, which we estimate separately in the study. Dr Carolyn Lam: Greg, you say, you're excited. I can definitely speak, I think on behalf of both Victoria and Augie, that we're the ones excited publishing this really great piece of work here in circulation. You know personally, I'm a great fan of your work in GBD. Tell us the results. Dr Greg Roth:  What we found was that in 2017, there was an estimated 12.6 million cases of calcific aortic valve disease in the world and 18.1 million cases of degenerative valve disease globally. With higher rates of calcific valve disease, among men and higher rates of degenerative valve disease among women. Now that is an aggregate. We've produced estimates for every country in the world and for larger countries with more than 200 million people, we've gone down to what we call the first administrative level. So, US states, Chinese provinces, and we do this in the larger countries, but when you add it all up, you get those numbers. We also found that there were just over a hundred thousand deaths globally each year due to calcific aortic valve disease and about 35,000 deaths reported due to degenerative mitral valve disease. I think this is really interesting because of course, as clinicians, we have a lot of experience with sources like cohort studies, and trials, and registries, but we have not actually looked at what's actually the world's largest public health reporting system, which is vital registration, meaning death certificates. Now, most of us have filled out that certificates and we always wonder, how reliable are there? And there's clearly limitations. In fact, a huge amount of our work at the Global Burden of Disease Study is dealing with the limitations of death certificates, looking for bias, and adjusting that bias when we can, but these are death certificates where somebody's entered these causes as the underlying cause of death. I think when that actually shows up on a death certificate, that's actually a real signal to us that there was a physician out there who felt pretty strongly that that was the sort of trigger that led to the patient's death. We also found that aging and population growth are leading to about a hundred percent increase over this period of time over the last 25 years in the number of deaths due to these nonrheumatic valve diseases. If we age standardized, we see that the trend is flat, but if you're running a health system or a minister of health, you need to hear that message that with aging and population growth affecting almost every country in the world, you're going to see dramatic rises in the number of cases of both of these conditions showing up on the doorstep of all of your hospitals. Dr Carolyn Lam: Fantastic Victoria, could you put these findings in context for us and maybe take us behind the scenes a little bit at what the editors thought? Dr Victoria Delgado: These are very important data, because so far, for example, we have, as Greg said, registries and one of the most known registries was for example, in Europe, The Valvular Heart Survey that was done in 2001, if I remember well. Has been redone recently, it was last year published in circulation. The other one with a very large data is coming from counties. With similar data to the results that are publishing now. For example, if you compare those two registries with much smaller populations, in US, they always report much, much frequently the genetic mitral valve regurgitation. While in Europe, aortic stenosis is the most frequent one, calcific aortic stenosis. Here, I was again surprised with in the global population that again, degenerative mitral valve regurgitation is much more prevalent than calcific aortic stenosis, but you can see that there was an increase of 124% in the prevalence of calcific aortic valve disease in 2017. I wonder if this is related to the awareness of the risk associated with aortic stenosis and they invent of a new therapies, transcatheter therapies, with the TAVI for example, or transcatheter aortic valve replacement, which has opened the door for an effective treatment for many patients that before were simply denied for surgery. I don't know if you have further insights into that. Dr Greg Roth: Yes. I think that's a really important point, that we see a lot of variation in the data. While we have millions of death certificates to look at all around the world. Really scores of millions, where we can look for trends and patterns. The population level data on nonrheumatic valve disease is actually quite limited compared to most diseases. We did a very aggressive perspective review of the published and gray literature and found about 50 sources reporting prevalence for these conditions that were usable in our study. For the most part, those studies are not long time series. We have to estimate trends, piecing together data from different populations. Now, there are a couple of places in the world where you can get a long trend of time where they've gone back repeatedly in the same population and looked with echo, which you obviously need here to make these diagnoses. As far as we can tell, and these are just a handful of studies, the trend is flat. We don't see large increases. Now, the increases in our study were completely driven by aging and population growth and the age standardized rates. The epidemiologic pattern for this disease is that it's flat and for mitral valve disease, maybe trending down a little bit. I think it's clear that in places where there's been a lot of attention paid either because of new therapies, like TAVR or new access to diagnostic screening with the growth of echo cardiography and other screening methods, that is a limitation of the study, for sure. I think what it really focuses me on is the idea that we need better data. We need to think about ways and probably more cost effective ways of surveilling for these conditions, but I'll tell you something that was really interesting, that we found is that, in the United States where we relied heavily on administratively coded data, because we have that in a uniform format for every state and we have a long time series for that, and we have complete vital registration. We looked at the state level and we found that the all ages rate, was actually going up. Meaning it wasn't just population growth and aging, but in about a third of the states, the true epidemiologic rate of the disease was going up. Meaning it's becoming more common even if you control for the change in age structure of a country like the United States over time. I think that given the fact that we're seeing this explosion of obesity around the world, and we know that atherosclerotic risk factors can be a major driver of let's say calcific aortic valve disease. I mean, an interesting question is, is valve disease going to be sort of a canary in the coal mine? Are we going to see more of it at younger ages? Traditionally it's been the oldest patients who actually survived the longest and tend to be healthier, who we can actually find having the disease, but I wonder, are we going to see more of that as patients present with more obesity. Unfortunately we know that reversing or controlling those atherosclerotic risk factors hasn't paid off in big ways for preventing calcific aortic valve disease. It's complex and like mitral valve disease, clearly there's likely to be a very strong genetic component as well. Dr Carolyn Lam: Greg, you mentioned a little bit more about the age effect, but you did mention some sex differences. Could you just clarify a little bit about that and maybe the interaction between the two? Dr Greg Roth: What we've all been taught, or at least what I was always taught, was that there was more mitral valve disease in women. We actually did find that in the study and that was reassuring because when we went back to look for the source of that sort of common teaching, actually, it's pretty hard to find. I think it actually comes, my guess is, from a lot of people's clinical practice. To see that match-up between what we thought was going to be true in terms of the relative prevalence by sex for these two major diseases, calcific aortic valve disease and degenerative mitral valve disease was reassuring. It suggested that the data we have is actually picking up on real patterns and patterns that match sort of our clinical experience as well. One of the interesting things about the interaction between age and sex, is that women live much longer on average than men. As women age into those oldest years, what we actually see is a decline in the burden of disease. There's an increase in stroke, but for everything else, those women are truly survivors. Actually we see less bowel disease and cardiovascular disease in general, in the oldest old women. What we do see is a massive rise in cognitive impairment and dementia. That's a very active area of research for us right now. The interaction between atherosclerotic risks, which can drive things like valve disease and of course, coronary disease and stroke and then the cognitive impact is a really important area of research. There are a couple of great papers that have come out even just in the last few weeks. I think this question of how risk is going to impact people in those oldest age groups? Is really important. We know the population is aging. We know that in some places, life expectancy is increasing to the point where we really need to rethink what the disease patterns are going to be in the oldest old. Dr Carolyn Lam: Indeed. So the feminization of aging is kind of what I like to call it, but yikes Victoria. Could I maybe ask you to please give the final words of advice and maybe the take home messages? Dr Victoria Delgado: I think that this data are really welcomed because as Greg said, we need to understand better how we can modify the prognosis of these prevalent and how we can tackle it and for that we need data. I think that these are very welcomed data. Now, how we are going to do it in the future? That's a great question. I don't have the answer right now, but I think that increasing the awareness that nonrheumatic valvular heart disease can impact as well on the outcomes of the population, is important to know. I think that people need to have access to diagnostics best particularly echo cardiography is very available imaging technique and very feasible. We can have right now developments where we can do the echo cardiography with our phone by adding one of the probes. I think that in the future, we may see more and more valvular heart disease that probably was already there, but we just need to increase the awareness. From those data, learn how we can treat those individuals if they need and how we can improve the outcome of these individuals. Dr Carolyn Lam: Thank you, Victoria. Thank you, Greg. More awareness and more good data needed. Thank you, audience, for joining us today. You've been listening to Circulation on the Run. Don't forget to tune in again next week.

Details coming soon and also at pedalshift.net/events. Sprocket, Joyride, Go Dig a Hole and more of your favorite shows repping on bikes with mics! May 8   Hotel night was the right call - it wasn’t a full recharge but it was necessary to pull off this morning’s moves. Had to do some client work at the hotel and get it all in before the WiFi totally went down. Got lucky! Lows were in the upper 40s which is the real comfort limit of my sleeping gear... not sure if this is going to continue but we’ll see My route from the hotel brought me by the closest of my assessed wild camping spots - turned out to be swampy and totally unsuitable. Google Earth can only tell so much! Kent State is a gorgeous campus - really wish I had had the energy to hang out in the town. I like many college towns and the vibe. Bus stop at the student center was totally unmarked but I took the chance to start unloading and then a rider came by. Very thankful for the heads up from the KSU alum! The bus had no rack and I would have freaked out had I not been told they let bikes in the back. Really cold in Cleveland - I was fine but my mindset has been more summery conditions and this tour has been anything but that. Rolled out of the city center toward OTET MM 0 and discovers Cleveland Bagels. They were legit for this Empire State native who had a favorite bagel shop in law school called “Hot Bagels.” Was nice to have a view of Lake Erie while I had an everything bagel and a cup of coffee. -- Was excited to see a bike station with a pump and it managed to just deflate my tire - oh well, hand pump to the rescue.. Getting out of Cleveland was so-so. It’s signed at some points but could use some more “HEY! This is a trail that goes to Cincinnati! Also, turn here cause the trails not done yet!” One downside to my go go go schedule is I’m missing out on spending time in cool places. Future tours will be much more about hanging out I think Stopped for a second breakfast and the place was playing You Are the Girl by The Cars (an oddly deep cut that’s not even on their greatest hits album) so I played a bunch of them as I headed south. The. Nirvana unplugged because I’ve been thinking about them a lot lately. Wow is the trail through Cuyahoga Valley NP nice! Very compact (if rutted in parts) and effortlessly fast. Reminds me very much of the Erie Canal towpath near where I grew up. Big detours throughout with huuuuge steep hills. And then... a closure with no detour! Thanks to PSS member Lisa Hart for bailing me out... I figured out a way around but since I was staying with her and her husband tonight they graciously offered to pick me up at the outage and take me to the next trailhead. And then I had a wonderful evening chatting biking with Lisa, her friend and fiancé- super appreciated! Tomorrow I’m ten miles behind on what was supposed to be a 65 mile day. Audibles will be called... May 9 Super great breakfast prepared by Lisa’s fiancé then a drop off where I could resume after the closure Summit County Trail was great... quality drops a bit in Stark County, but not that bad Headwinds! Missed getting ice cream (closed) in Canal Fulton, so pressed on to Massillon for food. Michigan guys are on the road route between trail segments so I anticipate running into them midway? Still unsure on destination- going to my original camp isn’t out of he question but the impending rain may have something to say about that. Stealth camp! May 10 Rain came down relatively hard for a few hours overnight - unlike Confluence I didn’t have the condensation issue and I was happy and dry. Stealth spot was close to perfect. There was a little exposure to the cemetery side if I stood up and my head came above the pile of downed trees, but the park side was perfectly camouflaged. It was clearly a drinking spot for locals so I cleared a bag full of cans and bottles, leaving the space better than I found it. It takes me up to 40 minutes to break camp and I think I need to figure out a quicker system. The trick is I need access to most panniers and two dry bags, so I essentially need to totally unload. Also getting the bags inside the tent is a good idea since they’re so damn ORANGE

P.F. Kluge- "Anyone who knows me, or my work, is well aware that what I write is based on my experience of a place, its history, character, and story-telling possibilities. My first novel, The Day That I Die, and my most recent novel, The Master Blaster, are set on my frequently-revisited Peace Corps island of Saipan. The Philippines and my home state of New Jersey have engendered books. So have Gambier and Kenyon College. I'm utterly familiar with the place I call home and sometimes wonder if — congenial as it usually is — it has lost its ability to surprise me. That, it turns out, is a mistake. July 4, 2015 startled me. Fresh from yard work, unshaven and unkempt, I made my way into the village, looking forward to chatting with friends and neighbors, listening to speeches, watching a notoriously quaint Independence Day parade. The usual stuff. But I was ambushed — pole-axed — when I saw my Kenyon classmate (1964) and lifelong friend, Perry Lentz at the podium, announcing the 2015 Gambier Citizen of the Year. Me. The applause, the plaque, the bouquet of roses — which I couldn't quite figure out how to hold with real dignity — were unforgettable."   Meet the supremely talented and immensely underrated P.F. Kluge.

Author of recently released...  "Deep Water Blues"....Fred Waitzkin was born in Cambridge Massachusetts. His father was a salesman, and his mother, an abstract expressionist painter and sculptor. To the best that he can recall, Abe and Stella never shared a warm moment. Early on Fred considered careers in sales, big game fishing, and Afro Cuban drumming but by the age of thirteen decided he would be a writer. Both of his parents were strong literary influences along with Ernest Hemingway: “His little sentences thrilling me with descriptions of men pulling in huge sharks and marlin.” Waitzkin was an English major at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio. During the summer vacation following his junior year, he met Bonnie on a sword fishing trip, and a year later they were married. He received a master’s at New York University and for a time considered pursuing a career as a scholar of seventeenth century poetry. He taught English at The College of the Virgin Islands on St. Thomas, but admits that it wasn’t love of teaching poetry that intrigued him about St. Thomas, but rather the rumors of thousand-pound blue marlin that were said to graze twelve or fifteen miles north of the island on a patch of ocean called “the saddle.” Following the St. Thomas years Fred and Bonnie settled in New York City. After collecting a great many magazine rejections for his short stories, Waitzkin began writing feature journalism, personal essays and reviews for numerous magazines including Esquire, Forbes, The New York Times Sunday Magazine, The New York Times Book Review, New York Magazine, Outside Magazine, and Sports Illustrated. In 1984, Waitzkin published Searching for Bobby Fischer, the story of three years in the lives of Fred and his chess prodigy son, Josh Waitzkin. The book became an internationally acclaimed best seller. In 1993 the movie version was released by Paramount and that same year was nominated for an academy award. In 1993, Waitzkin published, Mortal Games, a biography of world chess champion, Garry Kasparov. It has been described as, “a remarkable look inside the world of genius—a brilliant exploration of obsession, risk and triumph.” In 2000 he published, The Last Marlin, a memoir that was selected by The New York Times as “a best book of the year.” In the spring of 2013 St. Martin’s Press published The Dream Merchant, Waitzkin’s first novel. In a starred review Kirkus wrote, “Waitzkin offers a singular and haunting morality tale, sophisticated, literary, and intelligent. Thoroughly entertaining. Deeply imaginative. Highly recommended.” A second novel, Deep Water Blues, published in 2019 by Open Road Media, is set on a remote a sparsely populated Bahamian island where a peaceful marina becomes a battleground. Fred Waitzkin lives in Manhattan with his wife Bonnie. He has two children, Josh and Katya, and two cherished grandsons, Jack and Charlie. Fred spends as much time as possible on the bridge of his old boat Ebb Tide trolling baits off distant islands with family and friends.   Meet the very kind and talented: Fred Waitzkin.

Carpe diem, baby. In part 3 of our 4-part miniseries on Storytelling, we go deep on the role the present in shaping our stories. We explore the power of being able to bring new awareness to what you see right now using the wise words of the late writer David Foster Wallace (this is water!). We also learn about how being really clear about what’s real in your present is key not just to telling the Story of You but to feeling sane in the process. Sharon also dishes on some of her favorite shopping destinations around DC. Oh and there are some crazy prancing deer that show up which lead Sharon to record the this episode in two-parts. Seriously? Seriously! Enjoy!   I so loved that the recording of this show kicked off with me being surprised by seeing a doe and 3 fawns prance around the shallow waters of Lake Wallenpaupack. The fawns were living it up –  jumping here, there and everywhere seemingly enjoying the splashing and fun of it as much as my own little toddlers are on this Labor Day weekend trip. In this episode, I shared a few of my favorite excerpts of a marvelous speech that I witnessed in 2005 back at my alma mater Kenyon College. (Oh boy, did I love my 3 years living on this hill surrounded by cornfields.) The speech, This is Water, was given by the sadly now diseased author David Foster Wallace. The opening vignette of the speech still blows my mind a bit:   There are these two young fish swimming along, and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, “Morning, boys, how’s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “What the hell is water?” … The immediate point of the fish story is that the most obvious, ubiquitous, important realities are often the ones that are the hardest to see and talk about.   For those who are interested in seeing the full text of the speech, you can do so here. You can also purchase a beautiful little hardcover volume, which is a delight for any bibliophile, especially one in the middle of a life transition. It’s a book I find myself reaching for at not infrequent intervals. I wish I could personally transport you back to that sunny day in May in Gambier, Ohio to experience the speech yourself. In lieu of inventing time travel, I will share that you can listen the audio for yourself. The two key ideas I explore on the topic of The Present are: That it’s possible to see the water. We have the choice of consciousness and an ever expansive ability to grow the scope of what we see. This isn’t a yes or no – I did it or I didn’t do it – kind of choice. This is an active practice that we must choose (or not choose) every day. That cozying up to what’s real for you right now is critical not just to moving you to where you want to be, but to finding a sense of peace and sanity in the here and now. Curious to go deeper on the sufficiency (“I have enough”) vs. scarcity (“There’s not enough” or “I need more”) mindset that I reference in this show?  Lynne Twist’s book Soul of Money is a great first stop. At the end of the podcast, I shared a beautiful, fully present experience I had had in the past week. Oddly – because I’m not much for shopping these days – this experience included my heading into and out of several spots in the U Street Corridor of NW, Washington, D.C. In case you are curious to check them out, they are: Fyubi Makeup and Brow Studio – I love this place. I head here every few months to have my brows shaped. The owner, Flami Garioni, is a true inspiration and I’m delighted to report that she’s agreed to be a guest on the podcast. Stay tuned! Good Wood – This shop has furnished a great deal of my living spaces over the years. Beautiful vintage/antique pieces. On this day I got some great end of summer steals, including a dress crafted by a design team that I adore, Osei Duro. Osei Duro is a small fashion house based in Los Angeles, CA and Accra, Ghana. Each piece is not only beautiful, but I always rest easy knowing that I can feel good about how it was created as well. Redeem – I popped into this clothing boutique and came across a pop up shop for Be Clean, which sells products for your body, mind, and home that are chemical-free and american-made. I’m obsessed with this lip stain that I got on this visit. It’s stellar and I can’t wait to learn more about Be Clean and it’s intriguing product lineup. I became interested in this wellness movement in make up and skin care when I stumbled across Follain in Boston on a visit there this summer. Sadly, I was pressed for time and so haven’t been able to explore there a ton…yet! (They also have a store in my native DC at Union Market.) Salt and Sundry – The final stop on my U Street crawl where I scored a sweet gift for my hubby and ran into an old friend and colleague who wonderfully and bizarrely thought I was in upstate NY running a training and development center and writing novels. Not yet, Paul. But maybe soon. =) Curious about the other episodes in this Storytelling Miniseries? Check out: Episode 9, The Introduction Episode 10, The Past Episode 12, The Future

We hope that all of you parents and/or high schoolers have finished the first three assignments we gave you for starting or continuing your college search process. We have a handful more ahead. There’s nothing like having homework all summer. However, if these assignments can make your autumn a little better, you will be glad you spent the time now. When everyone else is running around looking up information about colleges, you can be relaxing. Sort of. In your first three assignments, as you will recall, you have expanded your teenager’s long summer list of college options—on your way to narrowing it later on in the fall months. You have also checked out four key admission standards for each of the colleges on that hopefully long list—namely, average high school GPA, high school class rank, SAT or ACT scores of admitted and/or enrolled freshmen, and both required and recommended courses to be completed in high school. Now, our picture of your assignments is like this: You should have an Assignment #1 for each college on your teenager’s long summer list of college options—that is, the two-page worksheet you should have downloaded that calls for an overall description of the college, including lots of key facts and figures you should have filled in. Then, stapled to that, you should have an Assignment #2 worksheet and an Assignment #3 worksheet; these two describe the four college admission standards for the college named in Assignment #1. So, in other words, we think you are building little stapled-together packets of information for each college on your list. These will be invaluable to you when it is time to sift through them in September—and, please, not before September—when you start to narrow down the list to the colleges your teenager will actually apply to. As we have said previously, the more of this research your teenager does, the better it is for you. Oh, we mean, the better it is for your teenager, because your teenager is likely to remember better what he or she has researched personally and because your teenager is learning how to research a topic and get information when it is not always presented in an easy-to-find manner. I can tell you that, as an experienced professional, it would take me quite a while to fill out college profiles like Assignments #1, #2, and #3—and sometimes, as you will see, the information will simply not be available anywhere. 1. Your Assignment #4 Download the Assignment #4 Worksheet In this episode, we will examine various breakdowns of the enrollment of each of the colleges of your teenager’s long summer list of college options. You will recall that, on the Assignment #1 worksheets, your teenager had to fill in the undergraduate enrollment of each college on the list as well as the graduate enrollment (if any). Assignment #4 is going to ask you to take a closer look at the students who make up that enrollment—just in case what you find out would have any effect on your teenager’s interest in a college or in your interest in sending him or her to that college. By the way, whether a college (or, more often, a university) has graduate students at all is an important aspect of choosing a college for some students. Some students and parents like the idea of advanced scholarship being available on campus and of professional schools (like law and medicine and journalism) being right there either just to add prestige or to serve as the next stop for a successful undergrad. On the other hand, some students and parents think that graduate students distract the college from paying adequate attention to the needs and education of the undergraduates and that too many graduate students (rather than professors) end up teaching the freshman-level courses in too many disciplines. Whichever way you think about it, knowing whether there are graduate students at a college and how many of them there are is one reasonable thing to consider in choosing a college and in narrowing down your teenager’s summer list of college options when the fall months come. So, here we go with four enrollment breakdowns of the undergraduate student enrollment that you might want to examine. Get ready to fill in those Assignment #4 worksheets! Download the Assignment #4 Worksheet 2. Part-Time vs. Full-Time Study When your teenager was looking up enrollment at the colleges on his or her long summer list of college options, you all might have noticed that there were often both full-time enrollment and part-time enrollment figures. (By the way, sometimes an enrollment figure given on a “Quick Facts” kind of page on a college’s website is not explained as being full time, part time, or both. So, be careful.) Is the percentage of full-time undergraduate students something that you and your teenager want to consider when choosing colleges to apply to? Some colleges—especially prestigious private four-year colleges—have relatively few part-time students compared to, say, large public universities with many schools and many diverse programs. For example, Kenyon College (a great private liberal arts college in Gambier, Ohio) has just 1 percent part-time undergraduate enrollment. On the other hand, Kent State University (a good public university, though not Ohio’s flagship university, at the main campus in Kent, Ohio) has 19 percent part-time undergraduate enrollment. Or, to take a different state, Hunter College (one of the best campuses of the public City University of New York) has 28 percent part-time undergraduate enrollment, while New York University (an excellent private university about 60 blocks away in Manhattan) has just 5 percent part-time undergraduate enrollment. You get the picture. Obviously, students could choose to study part time at a college for many reasons, including financial constraints, family responsibilities, and work obligations. Part-time students are not necessarily worse students, though I imagine that they might have that reputation. But part-time students do likely live fuller, more complicated, more non-campus-oriented lives than traditional freshmen enrolling right out of high school, especially if those freshmen are living on campus. As a result, colleges with high part-time enrollment might have a bit of a different feel on campus compared to colleges where almost all students are there full time (and, furthermore, where many of them are living in campus residential housing). College Navigator, the exceptional online search tool provided by the National Center for Education Statistics, which we have mentioned many times, has an excellent part-time vs. full-time enrollment display under the “Enrollment” heading for each college you search. Trust me when I tell you that it will be quicker for your teenager to get this information from College Navigator than to find it on a college’s own website—though the college’s website might have just slightly more updated information in some cases. Have your teenager do the necessary college searches and write down the part-time vs. full-time enrollment figures for undergraduate enrollment on the Assignment #4 worksheet. 3. Gender Unless your teenager has been talking about going to a single-sex college—remember that women’s colleges (there are just over 40) vastly outnumber men’s colleges (there are only a handful)—this statistic might not be on your radar screen. But it might be something worth thinking about, depending on your teenager’s comfort level with members of the opposite sex in an education setting. If you look at the enrollment statistics for many colleges, you will notice that some are split pretty evenly between male and female students (say, 46 percent vs. 54 percent), while others are way out of balance (say, 30 percent vs. 70 percent). Sometimes colleges that are out of balance can be explained by their history (for example, they were once women’s colleges) or by the types of majors they are best known for (given that some majors, unfortunately, continue to attract more students of one gender). If you want a college to reflect the general undergraduate college student population, it is interesting to note that enrollment figures overall in the fall of 2014 showed that 56 percent of undergraduate students were female. So, if a college is better balanced than that (in other words, closer to 50–50), it is working hard at it, we would say.   Let’s look at a few examples. Carleton College (a great private liberal arts college in Northfield, Minnesota) is 53 percent female and 47 percent male. Carleton is working hard at it, we would say. Interestingly, the gigantic University of Minnesota (the excellent public flagship university in the Twin Cities) gets even closer—at 51 percent female and 49 percent male. Yet, not too far away, the Milwaukee School of Engineering (a Wisconsin college that specializes in engineering and technical subjects, though not exclusively) posts a 24 percent female and 76 percent male enrollment, for perhaps obvious, though unfortunate, reasons. I want to note here that I have not seen data reported and presented across colleges on enrollment of students with gender identities other than male and female. However, if your teenager is looking for a college that is particularly accepting of other gender identities, that is a topic that can and should be pursued by calling the admissions office and asking about relevant data and policies.   Have your teenager do the necessary college searches and write down the gender enrollment figures for undergraduate enrollment on the Assignment #4 worksheet. (By the way, we will be talking about single-sex colleges later on this summer.) 4. Race/Ethnicity Unless your teenager has been talking about going to an HBCU (historically black college or university) or about seeking out Hispanic-serving institutions, you might not have been thinking hard about the racial and/or ethnic background of students at a college of interest to your family. But, again, it might be something worth considering, depending on your teenager’s comfort level with members of other racial and ethnic groups in an education setting. For example, if your teenager comes from a racially and ethnically mixed high school, he or she would likely feel comfortable in a similar sort of college population. However, if your teenager comes from a high school that is not racially and ethnically diverse, it might be even more important to find a college that is—in order to prepare him or her better for the world of work and for life. We have talked about the racial and ethnic diversity of colleges at USACollegeChat, and we noted in Episode 58 that some colleges—including large public flagship universities—are not nearly as diverse as we would like to see or as we might have guessed they were. For example, let’s look first at the percentage of “black, or African American, non-Hispanic/Latino” students who are “degree-seeking undergraduates,” according to the figures submitted to the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (known as IPEDS) at the National Center for Education Statistics. Here are the percentages for some well-known flagship universities that we have discussed in earlier USACollegeChat episodes (these data are for the 2014-2015 academic year): University of Colorado Boulder—2% The University of Iowa—3% University of Washington in Seattle—3% University of Massachusetts Amherst—4% University of Michigan—4% The Ohio State University—6% The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill—8% Louisiana State University—11% The University of Mississippi—14% These are large and small flagships, highly selective and less selective flagships, and geographically diverse flagships. I have to say that I was astonished at the tiny fraction of black undergraduates at some of them. While we often looked at the racial and ethnic breakdown of students during our nationwide virtual tour of colleges, these small numbers seem to have a bigger impact when they are all lined up together. Here is are the percentages for what IPEDS calls “Hispanic/Latino” “degree-seeking undergraduates”: The Ohio State University—3% The University of Mississippi—3% University of Michigan—4% University of Massachusetts Amherst—5% Louisiana State University—6% The University of Iowa—6% The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill—7% University of Washington in Seattle—7% University of Colorado Boulder—10% These percentages aren’t any higher. In fact, when combining the two figures, you get a range of just 8 to 17 percent black and Hispanic/Latino undergraduates at these flagship universities. Interestingly, I know of quite a few very selective private colleges and universities where the percentages of black and Hispanic/Latino students exceed these public university numbers—like Columbia University with 7 percent black and 13 percent Hispanic/Latino undergraduates or Pomona College with 7 percent black and 14 percent Hispanic/Latino undergraduates or Rice University with 7 percent black and 15 percent Hispanic/Latino undergraduates—all exceeding the upper range of the flagship universities we examined. That is worth thinking about. Have your teenager do the necessary college searches and write down on the Assignment #4 worksheet the racial/ethnic background enrollment figures for undergraduate enrollment for whatever groups you are interested in considering—black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, American Indian or Alaska native, and more. 5. Home Residence Well, here is a topic that is familiar to USACollegeChat listeners. We have spent lots of time in our episodes talking about how important we think it is for students to get outside their geographic comfort zone when considering—and even attending—college. That was the motivation for our nationwide virtual tour of colleges in every state (Episodes 27 through 53), and it was the motivation for Assignment #1, where we strongly encouraged you to put one college from every state on your teenager’s long summer list of college options. We firmly believe that the best school for your teenager might not be located in your home state. It is also interesting to see just how many undergraduate students at a college are from the state where that college is located. Generally, I think it is better to go to a college where a student will meet other students from all over—that is, all over the U.S., but also from all over the world. Living and working with students of all national backgrounds in a relatively safe and protected environment, like college, is one way for students to gain the interpersonal skills they will need for a lifetime. So, geographic diversity of college students is a big plus for me. It also turns out to be a big plus for colleges, as we have said many times at USACollegeChat. Almost all colleges like the idea of having students from all over the country and, indeed, from all over the world. Many, many colleges proudly say on their websites how many states and how many foreign countries their students come from. While public universities have a duty to serve the students of their own state—and while some take that more seriously than others—even they like to draw students from other states. All that is to say that your teenager might get into a college far away from home that he or she could not get into close to home—because, for that faraway college, your teenager brings desirable geographic diversity. We will talk more about this is an upcoming episode. Let’s look at a few public university examples. The University of Alaska at its flagship campus in Fairbanks enrolls 90 percent in-state students (for reasons we might guess), 9 percent out-of-state students, and 1 percent foreign students. The University of Washington at its flagship campus in Seattle enrolls 66 percent in-state students, 18 percent out-of-state students, and 15 percent foreign students. But the University of New Hampshire at its flagship campus in Durham actually enrolls just 41 percent in-state students, 58 percent out-of-state students, and 1 percent foreign students. So, just from these three examples, you can see how different the make-up of public flagship universities can be when it comes to where they are getting their students. And, perhaps not surprisingly, private colleges are all over the map, too, when it comes to the make-up of their student bodies—thought it is clear that highly selective private colleges enjoy boasting about the many states and many countries their students hail from. Have your teenager do the necessary college searches and write down on the Assignment #4 worksheet the student residence enrollment figures for undergraduate enrollment. By the way, a college’s own website will often break down enrollment even further than College Navigator to tell you things like the five states most represented in undergraduate enrollment or in the new freshman class or the percent of students who come from neighboring states or who come from the region the college is located in. All of that might be food for thought as you consider colleges on your teenager’s long summer list of college options.

In Episode 41, I had the privilege of interviewing Anastasia Congdon & Margaret Lewis, Founders of Kokosing Valley School in Gambier, Ohio (Knox County). Connect with the Outstanding Ohioans show on Facebook, Itunes, or Stitcher The Kokosing Valley School is based on the Sudbury School Model founded in 1968.  It is a model based on freedom, self-paced learning, mixed peer ages, play, interest exploration, and democratic processes. It is in fact nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry; for this delicate little plant, aside from stimulation, stands mainly in need of freedom; without this it goes to wreck and ruin without fail. -Albert Einstein Here are some of the highlights from our conversation: Anastasia and Margaret's backgrounds prior to founding the school in 2015 How each person came across the Sudbury model The tipping point for taking action for their children, and why they felt the Sudbury model was the best fit The inspirational, massive action they took to create the school within 7 months are they impacted by the school establishment of the state how the beautiful property contributes to the experience of the students the what a day looks like for the school children the parental support needed to make it successful the benefits the children receive from the Sudbury model, including the value of mixed ages all together historical outcomes of students that have gone through this model their vision for the future and legacy they hope to leave behind Some resources to learn more about the Sudbury school model or mentioned in the interview: Research articles and videos Free At Last:  The Sudbury Valley School book by Daniel Greenberg Starting A Sudbury School:  A Summary of the Experiences of Fifteen Start Ups by Daniel Greenberg Free to Learn by Peter Gray Creative Schools:  The Grassroots Revolution that is Transforming Education by Sir Ken Robinson To contact the school, you may do the following: website Facebook page Email at info@kokosingvalleyschool.org Phone at (740) 427-2037 Thank you for listening.

Children of Fire, Children of Water: Simon J. Ortiz & Gabriele M. Schwab read from their unpublished book. Moderator: Leslie Marmon Silko. Ortiz & Schwab's joint project is unpublished as a whole but for two sections in the following: “Imaginary Homeland Security: The Internalization of Terror,” pp. 79-95, America and the Misshaping of a New World Order, Eds. Giles Gunn and Carl Gutierrez-Jones, University of California Press, Berkeley and Los Angeles, 2010; “Memory Is Key,” pp. 68-81, The Kenyon Review, Fall 2008, Vol. XXX, No. 4, Gambier, OH. Simon J. Ortiz and Gabriele M. Schwab, Children of Fire, Children of Water is a collaborative book project composed of dialogical memory pieces that reflect on memory, history and trauma in today’s global world. We are drawing on both personal memories and on the collective memories gathered from two different post-World War II cultures, Native American and German. Our memory pieces perform a cross-cultural exchange between Simon Ortiz, a Native American writer growing up on a reservation under the continuing forces of US colonization, and Gabriele M. Schwab, a writer of German origin who grew up in postwar Germany under French and US occupation and lives in the US. Reflecting upon historical violence and the ongoing traumatic effects of colonialism, war and genocide on individuals and communities, we are using a dialogical, experimental and evocative form. A form of cross-cultural boundary work, our memory pieces look at the traces left by the histories of colonialism and wars on our respective cultural imaginaries. Writing together, we position ourselves in a transitional space between our cultures and between history and the present. We use the stories we weave together as evocative objects that trigger memories we could not have recalled in the same way from within ourselves. In this process, individual memories transform themselves into a new synthetic memory born from cultural crossings. Our stories are not mere recordings of memories but rewritings of cultural memory in light of another culture. We hope that our audience becomes part of this process of rewriting memory during which histories are found and enacted in the present. The pieces in Children of Fire, Children of Water resemble mosaic compositions or kaleidoscopic images with fluid boundaries. They create a performance of cross-historical and cross-cultural encounters in two voices that, while discrete and distinct, continually interact with and color each other. The dynamic energy behind our project is created by resonances between our pieces and their power to work as catalysts for new memories that might never have emerged otherwise. Rewriting our stories in light of the other’s stories, we often play with bifocal storytelling and include bi- or multilingual interferences. But we also carry the traumatic silences and mute images of violent histories into our work, reflecting how the latter have marked us in different, yet often comparable if not resonant ways. The juxtaposition of life histories from different traditions, cultures and places may productively test habitual assumptions and patterns of thought as well as feeling states, if not structures of feeling. In the best case, such practices become part of unsettling engrained patterns of remembering violent histories.
