The fate of North America's most valuable freshwater system rests in the hands of dedicated scientists working across political boundaries. Greg McClinchey from the Great Lakes Fishery Commission returns to Under the Canopy to reveal the fascinating story of how this binational organization has battled invasive sea lamprey for nearly 70 years while coordinating fisheries management across multiple jurisdictions.Greg reveals the remarkable impact these parasitic invaders have had on Great Lakes ecosystems. Each sea lamprey consumes approximately 40 pounds of fish during its lifetime, while females produce around 100,000 eggs. Left unchecked for just 3-5 years, these invaders would collapse fish stocks throughout the basin. Through dedicated control efforts using targeted lampricides in tributary streams, the Commission has reduced lamprey populations by about 90% from their peak.The conversation takes unexpected turns, including the surprising story of how lamprey from the Great Lakes became part of a royal pie for Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee when lamprey couldn't be harvested from their native English waters due to conservation concerns. While European lamprey are considered delicacies, Greg explains why Great Lakes lamprey are unsafe for human consumption due to accumulated heavy metals.We explore cutting-edge science initiatives like the Great Lakes Acoustic Telemetry Observation System (GLATOS), which tracks fish movements throughout the lakes, and the potential for mass-marking hatchery fish. Most impressively, Greg shares news that lake trout populations in Lake Superior have been fully restored – a landmark conservation achievement after decades of work.What stands out most is how this international organization maintains unanimous, science-based decision-making even during periods of political tension between the U.S. and Canada. The Great Lakes Fishery Commission stands as a model for how shared commitment to natural resources can transcend politics to achieve remarkable conservation outcomes.

Did you know oak supports over 2,300 species of wildlife? Discover this and more fascinating facts in our episode dedicated to the nation's favourite tree. We join Trust experts, Jules and Kate, at Londonthorpe Woods, near Grantham, to find some fascinating growths on oak trees, known as galls, and learn why hunks of deadwood are so important.  We then visit the star of the show and 'Lincolnshire's best kept secret' - the astonishing 1,000-year-old Bowthorpe Oak. It's one of 12 amazing oaks in the running for 2024 Tree of the Year. Which one will you vote for? Don't forget to rate us and subscribe! Learn more about the Woodland Trust at woodlandtrust.org.uk Transcript You are listening to Woodland Walks, a podcast for the Woodland Trust presented by Adam Shaw. We protect and plant trees for people to enjoy, to fight climate change and to help wildlife thrive.  Adam: Well, in this podcast, we're looking at the Woodland Trust's Tree of the Year competition, which is all about oaks and is on a quest to find the nation's favourite one. And there are lots to choose from. There is the Elephant Oak in the New Forest, the Queen Elizabeth Oak in West Sussex, the Darwin Oak in Shropshire, the Capon Oak on the Scottish Borders and plenty of others to choose from across Wales, Somerset, County Fermanagh, Cheshire and well, lots of other places as well. And you can vote for your favourite oak by going to the shortlist of them at the voting site woodlandtrust.org.uk/vote, so that is woodlandtrust.org.uk/vote and we'll repeat that again at the end of this podcast.   Well, today I'm going to see one of the oaks in contention for the Tree of the Year, the Bowthorpe Oak in Bourne, in Lincolnshire, a tree which has a hollow interior and had previously, that interior had been fitted with seats and had been used as a dining room for 20 people in the past, 20 people! It must have been an enormous oak and that's not a practice I think that's recommended these days. Well, certainly not. But nonetheless it's a great oak which has played a great big part in the local landscape and is much loved, not just in the UK but attracts plenty of visitors from abroad as well. Now, oaks have an amazingly important part in our culture and in days gone by were, I think, central in Druid folklore, for instance, in fact one amazing fact I have learnt making this podcast is that the name Druid comes from druer, the Celtic for oak for the word oak and wid means to know, so Druid means oak-knower, so there's a good fact for you. Anyway, enough of me. I'm off to meet some people who know all about oaks and unusually I am not starting by a tree. So, unusually, we're starting in a car and I'm joined by two women from the Woodland Trust. So first of all, introduce yourselves.  Kate: I'm Kate Lewthwaite. I am citizen science manager at the Woodland Trust.  Adam: Wonderful. And our driver for the day is...  Jules: Hi, I'm Jules Acton. I'm a fundraiser with the Woodland Trust.  Adam: So we're going to look at a few oaks today, one of which is actually in the running to be the Tree of the Year, and you can vote on that still and I'll give you details a little later on on how to do that. But first of all, you were telling me that you have a little present for me. I always like to start the day with a little present.  Jules: It's always good to start the day with a little present, I think and here's a little one for you.   Adam: Oh, and it's wrapped up in tissue paper. It's an early Christmas present. How very good. So what is that? OK so do you want to describe it?   Jules: OK so it's a little, it looks like a little woody marble really, doesn't it? And it's got a little tiny hole you can see just there and some extra other little tiny holes. That is an oak marble gall.  Adam: An oak marble...ghoul?  Jules: Gall.  Adam: And how do you spell that?  Jules: G A double L.  Adam: G A double L and what what is it?  Jules: So this is this is incredibly special, so this has in many ways changed human culture, this little tiny thing. Certainly amplified human culture. So this is a gall, which is made by, and it's made by a little tiny wasp. And the wasp lays a an egg in the in the bud of the tree of the oak tree. And it makes the oak change and it sort of changes chemically. It's really strange. And it makes the the oak form this little marble shaped thing on the end of a twig. And that becomes home for the gall wasps' larvae, and so that the little larva grows up inside it and it has this its own special home, but it's also full of lovely food. So that's interesting itself and that it's it's it's it's got this sort of little little home but it what's particularly interesting human, from the human perspective is that these kind of galls were used to make ink for about 1,000 years and the the kind of ink that they made, it was used, I think, until the middle of the 20th century. So kind of until quite recently. So Shakespeare's plays were written on oak gall ink, Newton's theories, the American Declaration of Independence, huge amounts of historic documents.  Adam: So just trying to understand that, Shakespeare's plays were written on ink created by this thing?  Jules: By a gall like, yeah, this kind of thing by by a gall. Yeah. But you can you can still now you can make gall gall ink from these little little things here. So it in many ways it it amplified, this little tiny thing we've got here, amplified the whole course of human history, culture, etcetera in our part of the world.  Adam: Quite an extraordinary place to start our journey today. Wonderful. So, OK, so we're, yes, we'll put that away nice and safe and we'll start our journey. Kate, do you just want to start by telling me what we're going to do when we get out of the car?  Kate: We're going to have a walk round Londonthorpe Wood, which is one of the Woodland Trust sites, one of our thousand woods that we own and we're going to see an oak tree that Jules has found for us to go and talk about.  Adam: Fantastic. All right, well, let's go.  Jules: Well, well so we've just seen some amazing galls on what looks like quite a young tree, it's probably about 30-years-old, would you say, Kate, this one?   Kate: Maybe, yes.  Jules: And, yeah, they're they're bright red and they're on the underside of the oak leaves and they look a bit like cherries and   Adam: I was going to say, the one you showed me was all grey, you gave me an old rubbish one, didn't you? This is what they look like when they're on the tree. It's red, it does look like a cherry.  Jules: Yeah, this is a particularly stunning one, isn't it? And they they are literally called cherry galls. And they again  Adam: They're called cherry balls?  Jules: Cherry galls.   Adam: Galls, cherry galls.  Jules: And they're about the same size as the marble gall that we saw earlier. And I believe they are also caused by a gall wasp. And but what is good about these kind of galls is that they're relatively easy to spot. So once you get your eye in, you start seeing them everywhere, so it's a really lovely thing to start doing, you know, with children or just looking yourself when you're out on a on a walk, you know.  Adam: Wow. So that shows that a wasp has formed that?  Jules: Yeah  Adam: And these are non-stinging wasps, aren't they?  Jules: These are non-stinging wasps. They're teeny, teeny, tiny wasps. They don't look like your your black, you know the big black and and and yellow stripey things that come at your ice cream, not that there's anything wrong with those wasps, they're lovely too.  Adam: Inside that gall is baby wasps? Is that?  Jules: There will be a little larvae inside there.  Adam: And that's what they're using as as food, or is it?  Jules: Yes, that's their home but it's also their food source. And I'm not at some point in the year the the the little tiny wasp, once it's developed, will will kind of drill its way out and then be set free to the to the wider world. But I think we'll find some other kinds of galls, actually. So it might be worth us moving on a little bit and just see if we can.  Adam: OK. Moving on, yeah, that's politely telling me to be quiet and start walking.  Jules: Oh sorry *laughs*  Adam: Sorry, there's a, oh it's a tractor going up and down the field next to us. So that's what the noise is in the background. But the fact that we we sort of just held a branch here and and Kate was already, you know, lots of wildlife, jumped onto her jumper, does raise the issue about how many, how much wildlife an oak supports. And I was hear some fantastic number. Just tell me a little bit about that.  Jules: We know that the oak supports more than 2,300 species and that they could be species that that feed off the oak, that live inside it, that live on, on, on or or around it, that you know they perch in it. So species using the the oak tree in all different ways and they are, they they they're birds and mammals, they're lichen, fungi, invertebrates. All sorts of different kinds of species, but what's important, I think, is that they're only the species we've countered, and I think there are a huge number more that we just haven't got around to counting would, would you agree, Kate? You probably know more about this than me.  Kate: Yes, definitely. And some of those species can live on other types of tree, and some are only found on oak trees, so they're particularly important. And of course, we haven't started talking about the value of deadwood and all those wonderful rare beetles whose larvae live in the wood. So there's lots to be said about that as well.  Adam: I'll tell you what, let's just walk all further away from this tractor, which sounds closer than it is, and you can tell me about the importance of the deadwood.  Jules: Well we might see some spectacular deadwood.  Adam: Oh well, we might see some, OK. OK, so we have stopped by some deadwood and you're going to explain why, is that right? Right. OK. Kate is going to explain. Well, why have we stopped here, Kate?  Kate: Because deadwood is absolutely fantastic and we have a history of a nation of being a little bit too tidy and taking it away and using it for firewood and other things, when actually it's an amazing habitat in its own right. I'm just looking at the variety of rot holes, of larval galleries where the insect larvae have fed, and then the adults emerged. And it is like a whole habitat in its own right. And actually deadwood is really rare. Much of the woodland in the UK is not felt to be in good ecological condition and one of the reasons for that is a lack of deadwood. So it's incredibly important habitat and we don't have enough of it.  Jules: One of the things I didn't understand until recently and Kate, you might know more about this than me, but there's there's different kinds of deadwood. So if you have, it's important to have deadwood in different formats, so standing deadwood so when the old tree is still standing upright, and and deadwood that's lying down on the ground.  Adam: Right. What what why, so it matters if it's vertical or horizontal?  Jules: It it it matters that you have both kinds.  Adam: And why?  Jules: Because, I feel like I'm at the edge of my knowledge, so it's because about it's about different habitats, isn't it Kate, is that right?  Kate: Yeah, I think so. And the the wood will rot at a different rate. It's quite ironic because the one we're standing at now is actually at a 45° angle. So it's neither vertical nor nor horizontal. And of course, oak trees are absolutely full of of tannins, which I think are the same compound you find in the oak galls that enable the writing. But they also mean, you know this huge, great piece of deadwood here could be around for hundreds of years because it won't, it will rot very, very slowly.  Jules: And and one of the great things is when you have deadwood right next to living wood as well, because that creates all these different conditions which will suit different kinds of invertebrates and fungi as well, so that that's really important to have this collection of of different kinds of wood in in you know in a similar area.   Adam: Excellent. OK, we've, we've stopped. We've stopped Kate, and you've got very excited.  Kate: It happens quite easily when I'm out in nature. And there's a whole pile of knopper galls on the floor here, and they're black. You know, they've dropped off the tree. They've done their job. The the wasp has flown off. But I wondered if we could, I've no idea if this is gonna work, I wondered if we could actually try writing with them because they are oozing black.  Adam: Oh my, right, this is so exciting. OK, so this is like this is a modern day Shakespeare. Have you got? OK. The line is to be or not to be. I see. Hold on a second. So you've picked it up, right, I I think you might do something to it.   Kate: Well, I might have to. Shall we see, shall we see if it just?  Adam: Right, but you're not, you're just gonna?  Jules: Ohh there we go.  Kate: There is a brown ooze and it's I think it's not just from the path.  Adam: I was going to say, it's not just mud.  Kate: It's not. It's this kind of coffee colour.  Adam: Wow, OK. And you are writing to be or not to not be.  Kate: I am writing to be or not to be, I I don't know if I break it open a bit more if you might get. Ohh. This is gonna stain my nails, isn't it?  Adam: OK. Ohh dear, don't worry I'll I'll pay for the the visit to to the nail parlour.  Kate: *laughs* I shouldn't worry. Yes, we are actually getting some.  Adam: To be or not to be. Well, I'm sure that would have actually been mixed with water or something.  Kate: Most likely  Adam: Or some alcohol and put into a quill, but that does what hold on, let me just rub it, see. Well, I can confirm that is not just what we have now created ink. Proper exciting.  Kate: Absolutely.  Adam: Thank you very much. Well, we're heading away from our ink gall-bearing oaks to see the main attraction of the day, which is a short drive from here. It is the Bowthorpe Oak, one of the contenders for Tree of the Year. It is rooted in a grass paddock behind the 17th century farmhouse nearby. In 2002, the Tree Council, in celebration of the Golden Jubilee of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, designated the Bowthorpe Oak one of 50 great British trees. One of the 50 greatest British trees in recognition of its place in our national heritage. And I'm meeting the current custodian of the oak who runs the farm in which it lives.  George: My name is George Blanchard and I am one of the family members here that farm at Bowthorpe Park Farm.  Adam: Right. And you have, we're standing by this famous tree. People come here to see this tree?  George: They do, yeah, we get them from all over the world. A lot of lot of UK, obviously, Europe and America, we get a lot of interest from America.  Adam: Well, tell me a bit about this tree.  George: So this tree, the Bowthorpe Oak, is the UK's largest girthed oak tree. It's absolutely stunning as you can, as you can see, fully in leaf at the moment it looks amazing and yeah, that's it's claim to fame.  Adam: Right it's wide the widest I think it was the second widest tree in the UK. Is that right?  George: We know it's the largest largest oak tree in in terms of it's it's the most complete, you know. So I think there could be wider ones, but not quite as complete.  Adam: Not quite as good as your tree!  George: Yeah, exactly. This is yeah *laughs*  Adam: No, I agree. And and is is this a family farm? Is this?  George: It is yeah.  Adam: Right so you've grown up, you've you played under the boughs of this tree.  George: I have. Yeah, yeah and and inside it as well. Remember it is hollow so.  Adam: Right. Yeah. So tell me a bit about the sort of the folklore and the stories around the tree.  George: Yeah so oak trees naturally start to hollow at around 500 years old, but this one was hollowed even further, back in the 1700s by a chap called George Pauncefort and  Adam: It was, it was, it wasn't naturally hollow, he hollowed it out?  George: They they do, they do naturally hollow, but he hollowed it even further. And you can tell this when you're looking inside it, because the the sides are quite flat. It's very unnatural. You can see so the hollowing has been done by by tools. And so he also put benches around the inside of it and a and a doorway on on the west side and even even sort of paved the flooring but and and put a pigeon loft in the crown, which I think, I think back in the day in the 1700s, if you had a pigeon loft in your tree, you were somebody *laughs*.  Adam: Ohh really that's like Lamborghini time, right? OK, forget your Lamborghinis, I've got a pigeon loft in my tree.   George: Exactly. Yeah, yeah. And he would have parties in there as as you would, wouldn't you?  Adam: Well, yeah, of course. I mean, you've gone to all that trouble. Was he a member of the family? Was this being passed down?   George: No, no, there's no there's no relation, no relation. We've we've only been farming here since the sort of late 40s.  Adam: Right. OK, amazing. Amazing stuff. And I mean, and it looks in fairly, I mean as you say, it's in good leaf, it's in also just it looks to the untutored eye in good nick as well, generally healthy.  George: It is yeah. Really good really good condition currently. We lost a a limb off the back and that was that was quite concerning because it's it's quite dramatic when they shed a shed a limb, but it is what they they naturally do. We have an inspection done on the tree annually, but at the time of losing the limb, we were, we were quite concerned. So we upped the type of inspection we had done. And they were quite, quite invasive, I say invasive it was, you know, using really small drills, to see if there's any adverse rotting in any places. But no, they were really happy with the condition of the tree and and how healthy it is so other than any sort of man-made issue, I don't see why it shouldn't carry on growing as it is.  Adam: And it's amazing because, I mean, you know, it's taken us quite a while to get here and people come here all this way just to see this tree.  George: They do, yes, yes, seek it out, we call it Lincolnshire's best kept secret.  Adam: Right. Amazing. From all over the world?  George: They do yeah yeah. From all over the world. Like I say, a lot of a lot of Europe people come from Europe and a lot of people come from America. We find that the two two types of people from America, those that really appreciate it and those that just can't get their head around it because it's nowhere near as big as their redwoods *laughs*  Adam: Right? Call this big. Call this big, you should see...  George: Exactly. Yeah, call this big, we've got bigger.  Adam: Yeah OK. Brilliant well thank you very much, I will take a tour round it.  George: Thank you.  Adam: So one of the other, now I have to say, first of all, let me have a look at the front front, we've taken a book with us because Jules has published a book called Oaklore and you've brought it out here because there is a poem about this oak in your book.  Jules: There is and it was written well over 100 years ago by a poet called John Clare and but the interesting thing is when he wrote this poem this would have already been an ancient tree, so it's it's quite an interesting record that he was standing in awe, looking at this tree, just like we are now really.  Adam: Right, right. So when did he write this?  Jules: I don't have the exact date in front of me, but I know it's over well over 100 years ago.  Adam: OK, well over 100 years and you're going to put on your best poetry reading voice.  Jules: *laughs* I'll have a go.  Adam: Go on, give us, I always love, I mean, we did this in the Sherwood Forest podcast where we took a book about Sherwood Forest and a book about a tree to the tree it's about. So we're now going to read a poem about the tree we're standing by. So this poem by John Clare.  Jules: And it's called Burthorp Oak. So here we go. Burthorp Oak.   Old noted oak! I saw thee in a mood  Of vague indifference; and yet with me  Thy memory, like thy fate, hath lingering stood  For years, thou hermit, in the lonely sea  Of grass that waves around thee! Solitude  Paints not a lonelier picture to the view,  Burthorp! than thy one melancholy tree  Age-rent, and shattered to a stump. Yet new  Leaves come upon each rift and broken limb  With every spring; and Poesy's visions swim  Around it, of old days and chivalry;  And desolate fancies bid the eyes grow dim  With feelings, that earth's grandeur should decay,  And all its olden memories pass away.  Adam: Brilliant. That's that's a lovely poem to read by by the tree.  Jules: I think it's quite interesting that he says age rent and shattered to a stump so it it sort of suggests that the tree is in a worse condition than now, wouldn't you say so Kate? And it looks like it might be happier now than when Clare saw it.  Kate: I was just looking at it and I mean it looks like some of those shoots have put on a good foot of growth this year. So that's the amazing thing about ancient oaks is they they so-called retrench. So all the limbs, the limbs drop off, they become shorter and and and wider and then they might all just start to sort of grow again and it sort of goes through these amazing cycles. Certainly there's a lot more vegetation on it than when I last saw it 15 years ago. It looks fabulous.  Adam: And also a lot of oaks grow very tall. This isn't so tall it it is wider, isn't it? It's a squatter tree. Is that because it's actually not had to compete, because it's actually in a field by itself isn't it? It's not competing for light with lots of other trees.  Kate: Yes, maybe. And also trees like this do, the really ancient trees they do tend to become short and squat and it's part, and hollow, and that's part of their survival strategy is that they'll shed some of these top branches and they'll, they'll shorten and and widen.  Adam: Right. I mean, oaks are really important, aren't they in the UK especially, they're part of the national identity, really, aren't they? And and a lot of that's got to do with folklore, which I know, Jules, you've written about as well.  Jules: Yeah, I mean the the oak has been part of our culture well, as far as as, as as far as we know as far as written records go back and even we we believe that the the Druids themselves were very also very interested in oak trees and they worshipped in oak groves and they particularly worshipped mistletoe, the rare mistletoe that came off off oaks. Of course, we don't have written records on the the Druids, so we don't, we know very little about them, but that's certainly what we believe. And then it's been threaded throughout our our history and our culture that the oaks right up to the present day, you know people are still writing about it and painting painting oak trees and you've got wonderful ambassadors like Luke Adam Hawker who is very inspired by oak trees and goes out drawing them.  Adam: Why do you, I mean I don't suppose there's an answer, but do you have a take on why we've landed on the oak as such a a central part of our mythology and identity?  Jules: Well, I I think I think all of our native trees will play a role in that in our folklore and our mythology and and our culture, I think the oak is is is a particularly impressive tree isn't it, especially when you're standing next to a tree like this that that is so majestic and and you know the words like majestic, kingly, queenly, grand, they they just sort of pop into your head. There is just something incredibly awe-inspiring about the oak tree. And then, as we've we've seen before it, it just has such a huge impact on our ecology as well. So I think I think it's just something it it does a lot of heavy lifting culturally and also naturally the oak tree.  Adam: And almost every pub is called the Royal Oak.  Jules: Yes, yes, I think there's at the last count there's well over 400 pubs called the Royal Oak.  Adam: And you know that personally by visiting them?   Jules: Well, I've yes, I've I've tried to count them all. I've still got some way to go *both laugh*  Adam: Yeah. OK, OK, alright. Well, it's it's a good project to be having.  Jules: So there's an interesting story behind the that name the Royal Oak. And the reason the pubs are called that relates back to a very special oak tree, the Boscobel Oak. Now we have to go back in history a few hundred years. And it takes us back to the Battle of Worcester and the son of Charles I was in in battle with the with, with, with the parliamentarians, and he took a drubbing at the Battle of Worcester, and he needed to escape. And he reached this place called Boscobel House, and he was going to hide out in, in that house and try and escape the the soldiers, the the enemy. But it was very insecure and one of his advisers suggested he, instead of hiding in the house, he hid in the oak tree. So they spent the whole night in the oak tree, which subsequently called called the Boscobel Oak, and this and and and they escaped capture and the king spent the whole night with this chap called William Careless as he as he was called   Adam: William Careless?  Jules: William Careless who turned out not to be careless at all because he actually saved the king. And apparently the king sort of curled up with his head on Careless' knee and and he, they they got away. They got away with it and because of that you know that then obviously led into a whole series of events which ultimately led to the restoration of the monarchy and said King became Charles II and and because of that there was an enormous celebration of oak trees. So they they they were raised in status even further. So we've got all the Royal Oak pubs which are effectively commemorating that occasion. But there's also a great day of celebration was declared. It was the 29 May. I think that was the King's birthday, and it was 29 May. And it became oak apple day. And that was when we would all when people across the land would would gather and and celebrate the restoration of the monarchy. And one of the things they used to do was they people would bring branches with oak apples, which is another of those amazing galls. And the more oak apples you had on your branches, the better the better you were, you know, the, the, the cooler you were at the party. And if you didn't bring oak branches with you, apparently people would be mean to you and they'd whip you with nettles.   Adam: Blimey, this story took a turn!  Jules: Yeah, these parties got these these parties got quite out of hand. I actually think we should bring these days back. Not, no nettles. But I think actually wouldn't it be great if we spent every 29 May celebrating our amazing oak trees and and and also the wider nature around us.  Adam: Yeah, we've missed it this year, but I'm putting a date in for us to meet at a Royal Oak somewhere between us on 29 May.  Jules: Yeah, let's do it. Let's party. Yeah. And maybe drink a glass of oak flavoured wine or whisky.  Adam: OK, never had that, but I'm I'm up for it. I'm up for it. Kate, this is also important because this is in the running for Tree of the Year.  Kate: Absolutely. So the Woodland Trust hosts the UK Tree of the Year competition, and this year we've focused on oak trees.   Adam: So so they're all oaks.  Kate: All of them are oak trees this year, so we've got 12 candidates from across the UK and the wonderful Bowthorpe Oak here is one of them. It's my local tree so I'm a little bit biased, but these trees all tell amazing stories. We've got one that's shaped like an elephant in the New Forest. We've got one that has survived being in the middle of pine plantation in the Highlands of Scotland and we've got one that's sadly under threat from a bypass in Shrewsbury. So we've got some amazing stories from these trees and the public can vote. So voting closes on the 21 October 2024 and you can go to the Woodland Trust website so it's woodlandtrust.org.uk/vote.  Adam: There were some cow noises just as you said that in the background! Just to prove that we're in a farm *all laugh*.  Thank you for listening to the Woodland Trust Woodland Walks.

As part of this year's Locarno Film Festival, scholars at the Università della Svizzera italiana organized a conference called Cinema Audiovisual Futures, with a series of panels and workshops exploring cinema's importance in constructing a new and alternative futures. As part of the conference, Film Comment editor Devika Girish moderated a panel with filmmaker Suneil Sanzgiri and writer and programmer Greg de Cuir called Digital Migrations. Their conversation delved into the ways in which digital media allows us to represent and respond to colonialism, diaspora, and violence, touching on Sanzgiri's films At Home But Not At Home (2019) and Golden Jubilee (2021), among others.

 On this week's episode, Bishop Burbidge:   Returns to the podcast refreshed from his recent retreat at San Damiano Spiritual Life Center   Acclaims two new keepsakes commemorating the 50th anniversary of the diocese   Encourages all to attend the upcoming virtual event on September 5 featuring a documentary premiere, an exclusive first look at the renovated Cathedral of Saint Thomas More, and livestream of the Solemn Mass in Celebration of the Golden Jubilee and Dedication of the Altar   Expounds upon the theme of renewal in his latest column   Decries once more the blasphemous depiction of the Last Supper during the Olympic Opening Ceremony following the action he and fellow Church leaders took in its wake   He also answers the following question from the faithful:    “I was incredibly inspired by the Eucharistic Congress! My fear is that we will lose momentum. Rather than plan another Congress for a decade from now, why not have a similar event more often? What about a Eucharistic Congress taking place on alternating years, when World Youth Day is not being held?” 

On this episode I speak with Set Decorator Alison Harvey about the epic Netflix series “The Crown” Having been on the project for over 8 years this final season holds a special place in telling the life of Queen Elizabeth.

We talk about the color pallant of the decor changing over the seasons, some of the hardest sets to decorate and giving this amazing series a glorious set to end on.

Our monumental, momentous milestone 50th episode is monumentally momentous and milestonic for multiple reasons: 1. It's the 50th one. (For those who struggle mathematically, drop 50 things on the ground and then count them, that's how many it is. It's the first right after 49, if you hit 51 you've gone too far.)  2. It's conducted from the back of a van.  3. It's conducted in the company of old friends that have stuck around, and new friends who have just started sticking around.  After filling you in on the a blazed trail that took its toll on our brittle bodies and weak minds after taking us from New York, back to Austin, to LA and then back to Austin again, we regale ourselves and each other with our hassle getting back after a long night together. Having concluded we've all got questionable philosophies on arriving home at a sensible time and in a sensible fashion, we assign our Sex And The City elemental signs before cracking into the rest of the episode.

Previous governor-generals also awarded him Golden Jubilee and Diamond Jubilee medals in 2002 and 2012. Governor-General Mary Simon has apologized for the appointment to the Order of Canada of Peter Savaryn, a veteran who served in the same Nazi-led Waffen-SS division as Yaroslav Hunka. The statement apologized for the distress his appointment to the Order of Canada may have caused. It said her office is also probing his Jubilee medals, which are awarded to Canadians who have made a significant contribution to the country. “It is with deep regret that we acknowledge that Mr. Peter Savaryn was appointed to the Order of Canada in 1987, and we express our sincere apology to Canadians for any distress or pain his appointment may have caused,” the office said in a statement, adding that it had elapsed on his death in 2017. “The Chancellery is committed to working with Canadians to ensure our honours system is reflective of Canadian values.” Separately, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told reporters Wednesday that senior public servants were looking into publishing the full report of the Deschênes Commission, which examined claims that Canada was playing host to war criminals. “We have made sure that there are top public servants who are looking very carefully into the issue, including digging into the archives, and they're going to make recommendations to the relevant ministers,” the Prime Minister said. Savaryn was a leading Progressive Conservative in Alberta and prominent member of Edmonton's Ukrainian community who championed multiculturalism and played a key role in establishing schools with Ukrainian-language instruction. He also set up the Edmonton branch of the Ukrainian scout group Plast, whose participants included Chrystia Freeland, now Deputy Prime Minister. In a 2013 interview with the newspaper Ukrainian Weekly, Ms. Freeland recalled attending the youth group there. “Plast was a very important part of my life growing up,” she said. “I grew up in a Ukrainian community and was active in Plast.”   University of Alberta facing calls to return thousands more in donations connected to Waffen SS veterans https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-university-of-alberta-facing-calls-to-return-thousands-more-in/ The University of Alberta says it is reviewing other donations it has received after returning $30,000 from the family of Yaroslav Hunka The university is facing calls to return hundreds of thousands of dollars in endowments in the names of Ukrainians linked to the Waffen SS. They include an endowment of about $430,000 in the name of Volodymyr Kubijovych, who played a key role in the SS unit's establishment in 1943. Per Anders Rudling, an expert in the Waffen SS Galicia division, who studied at the University of Alberta, said for the sake of “consistency” the university should return other donations from SS veterans to fund Ukrainian studies He said it did not make sense just to return $30,000 from the family of Mr. Hunka, who was a teenager at the time he volunteered to fight with the Waffen SS division, while keeping money from more senior figures. University of Alberta spokesman Michael Brown said last week it has decided to “close the endowment fund that existed in Mr. Hunka's name and return the funds to the donor.” “We are currently reviewing other endowments, and our general naming policies and procedures, including those for endowments, to ensure alignment with our values,” he said in a statement. the university should also return donations in the names of other former Waffen SS veterans, including $50,000 from the family of Levko Babij. His donation was designed to fund the study of 20th-century Ukrainian history, especially during the Second World War. Prof. Rudling said Mr. Babij was a former president of the Ukrainian veterans association. The university also received a $15,000 donation from Roman Kolisnyk, who was an officer with the rank of untersturmführer in the Galicia Waffen SS division, and editor of the journal of the Ukrainian Waffen SS veterans. After the war he settled in Toronto. Established in 2011 by Mr. Kolisnyk, the fund is worth around $100,900 and supports translations and publications of Ukrainian literary works, memoirs and diaries. The university's Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies, which their donations helped fund, refers in past newsletters to their service with the SS Galicia division. Veterans of the SS regiment have also held positions at the University of Alberta. They include Peter Savaryn, who became its chancellor. In 1987 Mr. Savaryn is one of around 12 former members of the Nazi-led Waffen-SS Galicia division with endowments, awards and donations in their name at the university, according to Dr. Rudling. The university's Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies has received endowments and donations worth over $1-million from Ukrainians who served in the Waffen-SS Galicia division or who helped set it up, according to research by professor Per Anders Rudling of Lund university, Sweden, an expert on the division.   Historical context stuff Mr. Savaryn's obituary in the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian studies newsletter explained how as a 17-year-old he joined the division, after being summoned with his brother by his father “when Hitler's drive to the East faltered in 1943 and the Soviet military began its relentless counter-offensive.” His father told him he was left with two options: “either ‘go to the woods' to join the Ukrainian partisans fighting the Germans Poles and Soviets” or enlist in the Galicia division.   In the decades after the Second World War the division's veterans debated whether creation of the formation had been a mistake, whether their idea of breaking from the Germans at the war's end and becoming the core of a Ukrainian army had been a fantasy, and whether they had in fact been a German and not a Ukrainian army,   The Galicia division was set up by Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS, from Ukrainian volunteers after the German defeat at the battle of Stalingrad, to try to stem the Soviet advance. Soldiers swore an oath to Hitler and the division's newspaper was infused with antisemitic and National Socialist propaganda. An edition days before the soldiers' surrender in 1945 claimed Jews were plundering Ukraine.   ‘Disinvitation from École Polytechnique group sent Trudeau government into damage control mode https://nationalpost.com/news/ecole-polytechnique-group-sent-trudeau-into-damage-control Quebec-based anti-gun group declaring it would disinvite Prime Minister Justin Trudeau from the annual commemoration of a 1989 mass shooting sent several officials within the Public Safety Ministry into damage-control mode looking for ways to respond, documents released under access-to-information show. The emails reveal that government staffers reacted with concern to news coverage of a March 2021 letter sent to Trudeau The letter and subsequent coverage expressed the group's anger over Bill C-21, which the group described as “lamentable.” In a March 18 French-language article published by Radio-Canada, PolySeSouvient accused Trudeau of “abandoning” and “betraying” victims of Canadian gun violence over the government's announcement of a voluntary “buy back” program for certain firearms, instead of mandatory confiscation, which PolySeSouvient had demanded. The letter to Trudeau from the group, translated from French, had said: “If you continue with this bill, we will never again welcome you alongside us when we mourn the death of our daughters, sisters and friends during the annual commemorations.” Later that year, the Trudeau government adjusted its policy so that its initial voluntary buy back became the mandatory confiscation the group had been demanding. It is in the process of becoming law. That letter and attached fact sheet — claimed that not going all-in on confiscating firearms from licensed owners was a reversal of previous election promises vowing to “initiate a buyback program for all assault weapons,” and blamed Canada's “gun lobby” for fomenting trepidation over supposed failures in New Zealand's firearm confiscations following the 2019 Christchurch shootings in New Zealand. It also refuted criticisms that the confiscation would adversely impact First Nations people, as they would be given a special amnesty of two years to replace their newly banned firearms. “Under a volunteer buyback program, countless fully functional assault weapons would remain in circulation, which could be stolen or used by their owners for violent purposes,” read the letter's attached note.   Ontario NDP removes Sarah Jama from caucus after Israel-Hamas comments https://globalnews.ca/news/10042820/ontario-ndp-removes-sarah-jama/ Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles says she has removed rookie legislator Sarah Jama from caucus. Stiles says the member for Hamilton Centre, who has been under fire for comments about the Israel-Hamas conflict, made what Stiles calls “a number of unilateral actions” that have undermined the party's collective work and broken the trust of her colleagues. Jama spoke this morning in the legislature against a motion to censure her for a statement she made on the conflict between Israel and Hamas.She said Premier Doug Ford's government is targeting her to distract from its own scandals, and also said that governments and institutions in Canada are trying to use their voice and weight to silence people who support Palestinians. The Progressive Conservative motion would effectively silence Jama in the legislature and calls on the Speaker not to recognize her in the House until she retracts her original statement and apologizes again.Jama's original statement, on social media, decried “the generations long occupation of Palestine” without mentioning the attack by Hamas militants on Israeli civilians. Poilievre gets international attention for apple-eating viral moment https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-apple-video-1.7003024   China linked to propaganda campaign targeting Trudeau, Poilievre, says Global Affairs https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/china-spamouflage-mps-1.7005066 The Chinese government likely was behind a "spamouflage" disinformation campaign targeting Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and other MPs in August and September, says Global Affairs Canada. A "spamouflage" campaign is one which uses a network of new or hijacked social media accounts to post propaganda messages across various platforms, such as Facebook, X/Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Medium, Reddit, TikTok and LinkedIn. The department's Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM), which was set up to monitor foreign state-sponsored disinformation efforts, said the campaign was "connected to the People's Republic of China" and was meant to curb criticism of the communist regime. According to a report released Monday morning, the propaganda campaign began in August and targeted dozens of MPs from across the political spectrum. An email from GAC officials to the affected MPs said 47 of them from across Canada were targeted. The email advised MPs on how to protect themselves from foreign interference and assured them the campaign did not present a threat to their safety.

So if any listeners out there want to you know test their ability like to see what level you are you can go to English word master and.00:01:17NishaIf anybody want to talk the English level, OK so.00:01:23JackYeah, I think it's it's quite useful.

If your A1A2B1B2 it's kind of a nice nice tool and the podcast is going really well.00:01:44JackThey're just. I released one new episode every.00:01:46JackOK. And so?00:01:48NishaRight.00:01:49JackYeah, we've had really, really fun conversations with some of our students. And then also with my Co host. So sometimes I record with my students. Sometimes I record episodes with my co-host. So yeah, there's kind of mixed mix there.00:02:07NishaAnd how is your experience with the having conversation with the Indian guys actually on YouTube channel? You're a YouTube channel?00:02:15JackYes, I talked to, I talked to someone named changing and I talked to another person. I I can't. His name escapes me at the moment.00:02:26JackIf you uh.00:02:28JackI know that he posted our interview. It's great talking to I I really like talking to Indian people in general. I find the the conversation is very pleasant and positive. It was. It was really good, good conversation and they.00:02:49JackBoth of the all the, all the interviews I've done, everybody speaks English really well, so have to change my yeah, I.00:02:58JackDon't I don't.00:02:58JackHave to adjust my speech? I just speak normally and everybody seems to understand me and and I can understand them. So yeah, it's.00:03:08NishaIt's very good actually.00:03:11NishaBecause if you if you're speaking.00:03:13NishaAnd you're you're Speaking of way, actually, which is very natural for you. Maybe I would not understand you very well way.00:03:26JackI I try I try not to. You know, I try not to modify my my speech too much, even when I'm teaching, because I feel like students need to listen to real speech. I think that's important because in the real world, no one is going to.00:03:45JackModulate their their language. They're going to just speak normally. And so I think good for students to kind of hear that and and to get used to listening to real natural speech. So I try not to do too much like what we call teacher talk.00:04:03JackYou know, teacher talk.00:04:04JackIs like.00:04:06JackYeah, very.00:04:08NishaThose person those you had a conversation rather included me with actually, those are the learners actually they are learning this language, they are not experts actually. And Amara is an expert in this language. But so many people, I think Chandra also is a learner. He is not a good at his English.00:04:28NishaBecause they're learners. I I also had a conversation with him with the Chandan.00:04:34NishaSo because.00:04:37NishaSo because the these are the callers, they are the Youtubers as well as and they are learning this language because they are facing the difficulty difficulties because this language is not their native language they it's a there is second language actually.00:04:57JackRight, right. And the thing about the thing with chinden is that he?00:05:02JackHe's very self, very much self-taught like he.00:05:07JackHe's he he taught.00:05:09JackHimself how to speak English, which I think is really amazing. You know, when people are are just kind of, I mean actually everybody that I talked to is kind of self-taught all all of the YouTube channels.00:05:22JackIn in the circle that been doing interviews with.00:05:26JackI think they're all the same people that you, you know, I think as well everybody's story is kind of the one of being self-taught. It's like one day you decided I want to learn English and you went on the Internet, you found books, you found, you know, YouTube channels.00:05:46JackAnd you just did it by yourself. And that's really amazing.00:05:50JackTo me. So yeah, sorry, go.00:05:53NishaAhead, actually one thing, if I want to ask you about the Indian people, what is the one best thing for Indian actually because you had a conversation with the people with the Indian people. So what do you think about?00:06:12JackOh, I mean I the what's the best thing about Indian people? I think it's it's got to be the politeness.

Do you, do you have a, are you close with your with your?00:12:15JackDaughter-in-law.00:12:19JackDo you? Do you have a close?00:12:21JackRelationship with your daughter-in-law.00:12:25JackThat's great. That's great.00:12:26NishaYeah. You know, in Indian culture, in Indian culture, we are living a we I am living in a with a three generation me, my son, my daughter-in-law and my in laws also we just live late together in a in a in a single home.00:12:47JackYeah, that's that's still the.00:12:49JackTradition, right in in India.00:12:52NishaYeah, but nowadays nowadays, you know, it's not like that culture actually it becoming nuclear family. So everybody have to go some, some, some places because because of their work.00:13:07NishaIf they are doing a work, any other company, they have to move other city. So that's the reason. Like my elder my younger son is living in in Mumbai because he is doing his job in Mumbai so. So it depends on the their work actually which type which kind of work you are doing.00:13:26NishaSo it's a depend on your work. So my elder son is a businessman, so he just live with us. He lives with us and my father-in-law. He is a 90 years old. And he also he is with us actually. So we are three patients live together.00:13:44JackThat's amazing. Generations together under one household or under one roof. That's amazing.00:13:51발표자 4That's great.00:13:53NishaYeah. And he if you talk about our relations, like, my relation with my father-in-law and my allows with a very good, very good understanding with with each other and if I talk about my daughter-in-law. So she is actually working. And she's also very good.00:14:12NishaAnd healthy and happily, we live together.00:14:15JackYeah, in in Korea, it used to be multi generational in homes. We used to live together, but it's really changed a lot in the last few decades because of what you mentioned before about that. You know you have to go find where the work is so.00:14:35JackIf you if your job is in Seoul, in the in the capital city.00:14:40JackAnd your families in the countryside, you cannot live at home. You have to move to.00:14:44JackThe city find an.00:14:45JackApartment and so a lot of families are are kind of split apart because of because of jobs, because of the of career, yeah.00:14:58NishaIt is happening in India.00:15:00NishaI told you know it is same actually whenever person doing a job or some other cities and you have to there actually like like Indian like South Korean marriages culture so there people prefer to most prefer to law.00:15:20NishaManagers, they get to prefer law marriages or arranged marriages. Culture also is there.00:15:28JackYeah. Ohh sorry one more.00:15:30JackTime. Could you repeat the question?00:15:32JackI I didn't.00:15:32NishaActually I want to ask that any if I talk about any South Korea, what type of culture is there like mostly people like to get hay law marriages.00:15:45NishaOr prefer to arrange marriages, you know, arranged marriages.00:15:49JackYes, yes, yes, that's a good that's.00:15:52JackA great question.00:15:53JackYeah. Usually I would say like I actually, I've never heard of an arranged marriage in Korea's. I know that the most I would say.00:16:07JackAlmost all of the marriages here are.00:16:11JackThrough like dating, you know? So. But but there's. But it's different than America. I'll, I'll try to separate the the three countries a little bit. So in the United States we we do a lot of dating is just you just look for a partner and you you go out and mingle and and either in church or.00:16:31JackIn a club or in a?00:16:34JackSchool. You know, university. You might meet somebody and then you you date for a while, a long time, six months, a year or a year and a half, and then you you might get.00:16:46JackIn Korea, it's very similar to the United States, except in Korea, the family sometimes will try to help by introducing the the daughter or son to other people, so they'll try to like they'll there's actually a a whole industry of matchmaking.00:17:05JackIn Korea, where they're the company, you.00:17:07발표자 4Pay a company.00:17:09발표자 4Yeah. So.00:17:10NishaHappening like II was so then this actually this type process is doing in India also there is a special companies matchmaker companies like shop.com Wedding Elite weddings or like those companies.00:17:27NishaIs doing work actually.00:17:30NishaWhich is South Korea and India. Is this similar culture it means.00:17:33JackIt's I think it's it's got a similarity to.00:17:36JackIt I mean the the.00:17:38JackThe thing in in Korea the the.00:17:41JackThe If you.00:17:42JackIf you come from a wealthy family.00:17:44JackThen the the parents want to introduce if they have a daughter they want to introduce their daughter to a doctor or a lawyer or, you know, a or something like that. If they have a son, then they want, you know, the the the wife should be from.00:17:44NishaOK.00:18:04JackA good family. So there that's very important.00:18:06JackYou know kind.00:18:07JackOf arranging it a little bit, not fully arranged. You know, marriage, but kind of partially arranged. A little bit kind of introduced kind of kind of nudged a little bit pushed, you know you 2.00:18:20JackAnd and get together.00:18:20NishaOK.00:18:22JackWhat I've noticed lately in in Korea is that.00:18:27JackI would say most of it's more like more like American style nowadays. You know, most mostly just a lot of couples will just meet through school. University is a place where people meet. People will meet by group friends, you know, group of friends getting together and then they'll they'll.00:18:47JackIntroduce each other. It's just very, very natural, you know, kind of ways of that. People meet. And I I think the the more kind of arranged or or partially arranged you know.00:19:02JackMarriages are kind of.00:19:03JackAre are kind of of the past.00:19:06JackI think kind.00:19:07NishaOf yeah, yeah, I I got it actually before they got married because it's a partially arranged marriage. You are saying that like in South Korea, I'm not talking about the America. Actually America marriages is a different system.00:19:24NishaIt's a very different way actually, right?00:19:27JackIn America, it's very much like, well, our our culture is very, very strange, like in, in a way, it's, it seems kind of cold because.00:19:36JackWas when we turned 18 or 19. You know, when we graduate from university, our parents like get.00:19:41발표자Out of the.00:19:42발표자 4House go live on.00:19:45JackYou know, get out.00:19:45발표자 4Of here you're done.00:19:47NishaThank you very much. I like this process this this system. I like this very much actually. You know, Indian people just just some become like 606555 years and just in this this age he dependents on their parents.00:20:06NishaActually, his parents, he would be 90 years, but they take care about their their son.00:20:13NishaLike my husband right now, my husband is 56 years old, right? And my father-in-law is 90 years old, but he is still takes care of my husband so much, so much. So this affection is very good. But, you know, sometimes the people don't become responsible.00:20:33NishaAt so I like this culture in a US because they become responsible at every age. Actually it's good.00:20:43JackThat's I think there are good parts to all of the all of the differences, like every country's got like some good parts. And I I think it's good to go off and and take care of yourself because you learn how to be independent and self-sufficient. You learn how to take care of.00:20:59JackYourself, but I think we also.00:21:02JackCan get a little bit too much.00:21:04JackDistance between families so that we we are neglectful of our of our parents. And I think I what I like is the the closeness of the Indian household. How close those relationships are.00:21:21JackWhen it comes to dating in American culture, I would say, you know you, you meet people where we we meet people is usually at work or at school. Those are the big places, but it's very much like the parents are not involved really. It's more of like later when you're dating.00:21:41JackThen you introduce your, your girlfriend or boyfriend to your parents, but it's at first it's just, you know, you have to find your own way.00:21:50JackBut I think a lot, you know, even in.00:21:52JackThe in the recent past in America.00:21:55JackThere were, you know, like very wealthy families that want to act with another wealthy family. And one way to connect is by the the children marrying. And so those kinds of arranged marriages. Again, it's not, it's not really an arranged marriage, but they're it's kind of partially arranged those.00:22:16JackWe're common and I think it still happens. You know, sometimes today.00:22:20NishaWhich fields attend their marriages?00:22:24JackYeah. I mean, it's not it. And what what do you what about in, in in India like do they still have fully arranged marriages? Is that still common?00:22:33NishaWhen I talk.00:22:34NishaAbout when I got married at that.00:22:36NishaTime I was.00:22:37NishaOnly 1920 years old only and.00:22:42NishaI'm talking about 30.00:22:43NishaTwo years ago, I got married, actually. Wow.00:22:48NishaYou know, I I got married totally. Each marriage at that time, even I didn't saw my husband. I didn't see my husband at that time before marriage, I didn't see my husband. It was very wondering actually, but actually it's a Indian culture. But nowadays it's also totally changed.00:23:08발표자 4OK.00:23:08NishaBefore when like I got my son married. So he it did marriage also he arranged marriage. But you know they they had a meeting 4 or 5 * 4 capability they get to understand to each other it would be better for their relationship.00:23:29NishaActually, so they are in Norway nowadays. In India, people getting getting, getting in love marriages evenly arranged, marriages also doing. But most probably 70% it is doing arranged marriages.00:23:45JackOK. And you know the the thing that I I learned, I heard this, I don't know if it's true, but you can correct me, but arranged marriages are about at just as successful or more successful statistically than non arranged marriages, right? Like you you would think like in an arranged marriage.00:24:05JackAs an American I would think Ohh they must get divorced really often. You know that would be my my assumption my guess, but it's not true. The arranged marriages are oftentimes very successful marriages.00:24:17NishaThank you.00:24:24NishaYeah, it's true. So in America, in America, people believe in it. If the people do the get the arranged marriage they were, they would be successful, they they would be fail. You were talking about.00:24:25JackAnd so yeah, which is to us, it's counterintuitive.00:24:45JackWell, no, we I, in my mind like I we we would think that like arranged marriages are fail more often.00:24:55JackBut I I.00:24:56JackDon't think it's true. It's not true. I think that arranged marriages are.00:25:00JackActually, just as successful as non arranged marriages.00:25:07JackWhy do you? Why is that? Why do you think that is? Like what? Why does it work the way it?00:25:12NishaYeah, I'm telling you, actually, what happened in in India, in India, what happened in I2 people don't get married. Two families get married. They become a relationship with within the two families, you know. And after marriage, the bride.00:25:32NishaGoing to live within the year was actually so sometime, you know, the the after the marriage, the bride and groom both are boys and girls. Both are.00:25:43NishaYoung and they are young blood and sometimes they have an argument with each other and if at that moment if there is some another person like me and sometime, you know my daughter and son having some issues with the.00:26:03NishaPersonal topic, actually, every time I make them understand that it's not a good, it is not good for you that that one is not good good for you. So maybe that that thing make works. Actually these things work work actually maybe any layer below.00:26:22NishaThat the marriage marriages is more successful rather.00:26:26NishaThan low marriages.00:26:28JackYeah. Yeah, that's the. That's what's so interesting is that they're often they're successful. They they're arranged, marriages work and so.00:26:36JackI think you.00:26:36JackKnow as a as a, as a young person in America when I was, you know.00:26:40JackGrowing up, we we you know.00:26:43JackWe would hear about that. You know, they have arranged marriages in in other countries such as India and we would, you know, say wow, that's that that's that can't work. That's impossible. How is that possible? But now as a, you know, looking looking back as a 46 year old.00:27:02JackI can.00:27:02JackSee that like.00:27:05JackYou know there there's other ways of doing it that are just as valid and as long as both, you know, families and both parties are are fully committed to it. They can make it work. So yeah, it's it's really fascinating. It's an interesting topic for me because I just, I don't know very much about it, to be honest.00:27:25JackKind of ignorance so.00:27:26NishaWhere you know Jack.00:27:27NishaNowadays, India in India also marriages the the divorce rate, increasing day by day.00:27:36NishaAlso, the people, the young couple, they most probably like to live a separate family and now a generation don't have much patience.00:27:49NishaAnd they they they don't adjust. They don't want to adjust to each other. So day by day in India also whether it is a long marriage or arrange marriages.00:28:01NishaDivorce rate increasing. I don't know what is the reason behind that. Maybe lack of patience, lack of adjustment. You know, in Indian marriages, most probably women adjust in the marriages.00:28:18JackYeah, that's really fascinating. I'm I'm. I'm glad you brought that up because I think I think that it your your point about people not being patient is really, really true, because even in my own, in my own experience, my wife is Korean. I'm American. And so there's a lot of opportunity for us to misunderstand each other.00:28:40JackWhen we first got married, but we were both patient people, so we understand like, OK.00:28:47JackWe have to.00:28:49JackThere's a time to you. You can disagree. Like it's OK to disagree and have disagreements, but it's it's how you disagree is the important thing, and I think these days young people are kind of want instant.00:29:04JackIt's satisfaction. So if they disagree, they just walk away. I'm finished. You know, it's done.00:29:12JackAnd they don't. They don't go through the process, you know, disagree discuss, you know, reconcile. And there's a whole process to it. And I think these days a lot of people are just like the first problem and they just go. I'm done. I quit. And and I think that's.00:29:31JackA kind of.00:29:32JackThat's a mistake. It's a big mistake.00:29:35JackThat people make.00:29:35NishaYeah, yeah, yeah.00:29:37NishaSo whenever you some time whenever you have your argument with your wife and the time who say the soul, you are the one who say the sorry first or your wife say the sorry.00:29:49JackYou know, I always say I'm.00:29:51JackSorry, it's always me. I'm the one who always makes the mistakes, you know. So I'm always.00:30:01발표자 4I yeah.00:30:04NishaAt last, actually it's already become a 31 minute actually. So at last I want to say that like regarding marriage, if you want your beautiful married life at that time actually for that.00:30:22NishaIf you want to run the your marriage in a long time, that time you have to patience. I think a good understanding.00:30:31NishaAnd trust to each other. And one thing is more important. It should be. You should not criticize to your partner actually.00:30:42NishaSo if you yeah, so these are the important points, if you if you don't criticize your partner all the time, so maybe you can overcome from your problem whatever.00:31:02NishaBeing in your married life and our thing is more than you have to give the space to your partner. In Indian culture, these things is not happen for especially women.00:31:16JackRight. But I mean you've I.00:31:19JackThink you've summarized it perfectly like I agree with everything you said. I mean exclamation point, because you're exactly right. It's about.00:31:28JackLove and respect, you know, and and being patient and I mean those are so important in a in a relationship in a marriage. If you're gonna stay together. Yeah, you've been you been married 30.00:31:42JackTwo years, right?00:31:42Jack32 years. That's amazing. I I met 18 years.00:31:47JackSo we're getting close to close to 20 years, yeah.00:31:48NishaOK.00:31:52NishaWhenever you completed 25 years, then you will celebrate the your Golden Jubilee.00:31:58발표자 4Yes, right. Yeah. Yeah, we'll go to India. Yeah, for a trip.00:32:07NishaI think on your Golden Jubilee you must see your wife. Like what the?00:32:14NishaTaj Mahal, you.00:32:15NishaKnow the Taj Mahal.

RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey is joined again by Vidar Hjardeng MBE, Inclusion and Diversity Consultant for ITV News across England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands for the next in his regular Connect Radio theatre reviews. This time Vidar was taken on a journey from the rugged gangways of Tilbury docks to the grandeur of Queen Victoria's Palace unveiling the culture of British Asian history in the late 19th century with Tanika Gupta's revised new production of her play The Empress at the RSC's Swan theatre on Saturday 19 August at 1pm with description by Professional Audio Describers Julia Grundy and Gethyn Edwards. About The Empress  It is 1887, the year Queen Victoria celebrates her Golden Jubilee. Sixteen year old Rani Das, ayah (nursemaid) to an English family arrives at Tilbury docks after a long voyage from India, to start a new life in Britain. On the boat from India, Rani, an ayah (nursemaid) befriends a lascar (sailor), an Indian politician and a royal servant destined to serve the Queen. Full of hopes and dreams of what lies ahead, they each embark on an extraordinary journey.    Will their expectations come true or will they have to forge a different path in their new country?    Spanning 13 years over the ‘Golden Era' of Empire, this story blends the experiences of Indian ayahs and lascars who worked on the ships carrying trade goods, alongside the first Indian politician to be elected as a Member of Parliament. This epic story reveals how socially diverse the Asian presence was in nineteenth century Britain.   Directed by Pooja Ghai, Artistic Director of Tamasha, Tanika Gupta's The Empress will take you from the rugged gangways of Tilbury docks to the grandeur of Queen Victoria's Palace, whilst unveiling the long and embedded culture of British Asian history. The Empress continues at the RSC Swan Theatre until 18 November and will transfer to London's Lyric Hammersmith Theatre for four weeks only from 4 to 28 October.

Have you ever met someone truly unforgettable? The kind of person who lights up the world in the most magical, mystical, beautiful way.  Their childlike wonder and great success makes you wonder if you missed the memo about another kind of life available or at least another way to do it than your current approach. You just want to soak them in and linger in their presence as long as possible.  Get ready to spend an hour with one such light. One of my own personal mentors, spiritual teachers and favorite humans; world renowned artist and local legend Anne “Mimi” Sammis. Mimi began her career in landscape painting and then expanded her artistic vision to include bronze sculptures full of energy and movement. Each one reveals a celebration of life. As her artistic career advanced, so too did her spiritual life. The reverse is actually a truer statement. Mimi credits her resounding inner peace and joy to her 20+ year morning mindfulness practice reciting the “Peace Prayer of St Francis of Assisi”.  Listen as we deep dive into her daily practices you can easily adopt. Hear how her desire to create a Tsunami of Love in the world has created endless miracles and find out why gathering weekly with other creatives (for over 20 years) was a non-negotiable she believes every artist would benefit from. Mimi's' work is well known and collected throughout the world. Something she also credits to her meditation practice. Her sculpture He Has The Whole World In His Hands was commissioned by the Archbishop of Canterbury for Queen Elizabeth in honor of her Golden Jubilee in 2002 and is on permanent display at Lambeth Palace in London, England. Some of her exhibitions include the United Nations, The Hague, the Arles Museum and the American Embassy in Paris. This week's conversation will very much leave you with the “I'll have what she's having” experience. Can”t wait for you to listen. What else you'll discover in this episode: How starting your day with intention and a prayer will change your life.Legit practical tools and practices to feel more peace, joy and presence.How to shift your perspective to see through the lens of love and possibility.and so much more… Connect with Mimi Sammis here: Website:: https://www.mimisammis.com/ Instagram:: https://www.instagram.com/mimisammis/Gallery:: https://www.jessicahagen.com/anne-mimi-sammis  Quick note, I just want to say thank you for listening to this episode.

FRANCIS: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

--- Join us on Thursday, September 29th from 4 - 6 PM for an evening of discussion on the Meaning of the Monarchy. Speakers include Dr Eliat Aram, Krish Raval OBE, and Dr Simon Western. Get your free ticket here: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/the-meaning-of-the-monarchy-tickets-423729836347  --- We are celebrating our Golden Jubilee with the 50th episode of Edgy Ideas and thought it appropriate to reflect on the monarchy and its meaning.  My guest Leslie Brissett draws on his wealth of experience in human dynamics and as Director of Group Relations at the Tavistock Institute to share his thoughts on what is projected onto the monarchy from the people, and what the monarchy represents, contains and holds for us.   Simon is an anti-monarchist, and whilst able to admire Queen Elizabeth's extraordinary leadership over 70 years and recognise how the monarchy offers continuity for many, it also is highly problematic. Simon believes it reinforces a dependency and a "know-your-place" culture that reproduces class divisions, and elitist power and undermines our capacity for autonomy and to maximise our collective potential.  Leslie and Simon ponder together the meaning of the monarchy and explore the difference, and continuity between a matriarchy (the Queen) and patriarchy (the King). They reflect together in a non-partisan way, what future containment might look like without a monarchy and what can be learnt from the monarchy, that can help us to work towards creating the good society.     Bio  Leslie is a member of the Judiciary in England and Director of the Group Relations Programme at the Tavistock Institute of Human Relations and has studied human dynamics in experiential settings in many countries. He is also the Company Secretary at TIHR. Born in the UK, Leslie experiences life as a Citizen of the World More on Leslie: https://www.tavinstitute.org/staff/leslie-brissett/

In November 1967, the fiftieth anniversary of the Soviet revolution passes without a Soviet space spectacular.

Welcome to July 14th, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate a classic comfort food and the spirit of class.  Macaroni and cheese has become a staple food for kids everywhere. If you're a parent, you're probably sick of being asked to make this dish, but you gotta know you're not alone. Kraft sells one million boxes of mac and cheese. Per day. And Canada buys almost 24% of that total. Up there, it's referred to as Kraft Dinner and some have unofficially called it the country's national meal. It's also popular to put ketchup on it, but don't give your kids any ideas. On National Mac & Cheese Day, whip up a bowl of this classic comfort food, though it may not feel different from any other day, still a celebration is a celebration, right? Everything about the orange flavored liqueur known as Grand Marnier signifies class, elegance and distinction. Made from Caribbean oranges, fine cognac and sugar, this spirit is aged to perfection for nearly 10 years. Since its debut in 1880 the process has changed very little. It first appeared at the Ritz Hotel in Paris and sailed aboard the RMS Titanic. To this day a rescued bottle is found in the Titanic Museum. It was more recently served to Queen Elizabeth II for her Golden Jubilee and today a new bottle is purchased every two seconds. On National Grand Marnier Day, celebrate the spirit that evokes class in everything from cocktails to desserts.  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.
