On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast, Paul is joined by first-time guest Kiran K. Addala to talk about creating lasting legacies, their four stages, and what legacy means to him. KEY TAKEAWAYS Legacy is about the visionary geniuses of the world who are able to think futuristically, have a positive impact on their community or society, and leave strong impressions in our memories. I was amazed when reading in school to hear people talking really highly about certain people, like Mahatma Ghandi or Winston Churchill, about what they had done and the impact they'd had. Parenting gives you great purpose in your life, you're doing something for somebody, making a difference. You face a lot of challenges and you need to commit a lot of time to it, but it's invaluable. Legacy doesn't have to be a very long commitment, it could be as simple as doing something in the street to inspire a group of people who may go and imitate it somewhere else. BEST MOMENTS‘Even the most massive legacy started with one step by one person trying to solve one particular issue'. ‘As an individual, it's very important to continue as a learner. One life is not good enough to become an expert, there's no ending to learning any topic in this world'. ‘The biggest motivation for any individual or corporate is what you're working towards, how you get satisfaction for it, how many people can you influence, what kid of problems can you solve'. ‘You create legacy by shaping people under you who will be able to take up your role and responsibility at some point because they are inspired by you and what you do'.

Robin Monotti discusses how people are slowly wrapping their heads around the growing authoritarianism of the past few years and are coming to understand deep politics at different times with different subjects (e.g. 9/11, climate, pandemic, empire). For Robin it began with the assassination of Aldo Moro (e.g. Operation Gladio and the strategy of tension). He explains one reason people suffer cognitive dissonance when it comes to accepting the reality of state terrorism. Nothing will be resolved at the top-down political level, so the responsibility is now on all of us to resist and do what we can to defend our rights. We also touch on "team no virus", the digital control grid, health and the spiritual dimension, the permanent (bio)security state, the green agenda, and his latest film production, River of Freedom, which shares the inside story of the New Zealand Convoy and Parliament protest.

I find talking to Will is always inspiring, and though he's from a different sector I love his approach to work and passion for self initiated socially beneficial projects. Though he's a Landscape Architect by trade I find it hard to 'put him in a box', to me he's more and inventor / creator."Will joins the dots between architecture, art, the environment and imagination, adopting an innovative approach to the standard design process. He works across various sites, scales & styles, from furniture design, urban interventions and small-scale architectural projects, to larger strategies and masterplanning." The youngest person ever to become a Fellow at the Landscape Institute he runs his own practice and consults with numerous other firms while also teaching at Landscape Architecture and Urban Design at Greenwich University. His practice is currently working on schemes for the public sector, local government and for private clients, including the reimagining of a car-centric environment in South Wales, a small rewilding scheme, and a sculptural street furniture collection. He has delivered installations at cultural institutions such as Glastonbury Festival, the Southbank Centre and several international projects with the British Council, most recently in Caracas where he led a collaborative team on the design and realisation of the Catalyst Cube.

What you'll learn in this episode: How Jeremy found that landscape architecture translated to jewelry making Why he was drawn to working with paper, and how he came up with his distinctive technique Why jewelry is a powerful object to preserve memories Jeremy's design process and how he creates a unique piece of jewelry for each client About Jeremy May Jeremy May is a Landscape Architect born in Suffolk, UK. After having worked in his field of design for over 10 years, Jeremy created the first paper ring in September 2007. Jeremy's literary jewels were first introduced to the public in January 2009, transforming the paper that aspires to last beautifully and bring joy, colour, and love to all those sustainably minded individuals. The jewels have been presented in London, Paris, Osaka, Athens, Hamburg and Saint Petersburg. Currently Jeremy is working on private commissions and on creating collections of jewels under a thematology to be presented in exhibitions around the world. He lives and works in London. Additional Resources: Jermey's Website Jermey's Instagram Photos available on TheJewelryJourney.com Transcript: It takes an adventurous jewelry designer to eschew traditional materials like metal and diamonds in favor of paper. But as a former landscape architect who left his career for more thrilling creative pursuits, Jeremy May was up for the challenge. He joined the Jewelry Journey Podcast to talk about why he was drawn to paper when he first discovered jewelry making; how he came up with his one-of-a-kind technique; and how he works with clients to create the perfect, meaningful piece. Read the episode transcript here. Sharon: Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Jewelry Journey Podcast. This is the first part of a two-part episode. Please make sure you subscribe so you can hear part two as soon as it's released later this week. Today, speaking to us from London is Jeremy May, who creates unique literary jewels from pages of vintage books. He transforms these books into unique pieces of paper jewelry with quotes carefully cut from the book. Each piece is unique to the wearer. We will hear more about the books and how he creates his unique jewels today. Jeremy, welcome to the program. Jeremy: Hello. It's an honor and a delight to speak to you. Sharon: Tell us about your jewelry journey. How did you start? Jeremy: I started in 2007. I made my first ring for my wife for our first wedding anniversary. I made it from a newspaper, and that's basically how it all started for me in the jewelry world. I studied as a landscape architect, and I did that for about 12 years. When I made the first ring, that was like the catalyst. I saw my new profession, and I decided that landscape architecture was not for me. I started making jewelry. Sharon: With landscape architecture, had it been in the back of your mind, “I have to find something else”? Jeremy: I started landscape architecture from a very young age. My parents were both in the horticulture world, so it was in the forefront of my mind. My grandfather was a head gardener, so plants and horticulture were always at the forefront of my mind. It was second nature. For me, a progression into landscape architecture was great because I loved art and design, and that was my output, if you like, for creativity. From a very young age, about the age of 12 or 13, I decided I was going to be a landscape architect. I researched and worked out how I was going to do this, what courses and classes I needed to take. I ended up going to Greenwich University, and it was very much an art-based course. It was less about horticulture and plants and more about design. I loved it; I adored it, actually. It was less writing and exam-based and more about design and making artwork, really. I was in my element there, and then you get to the end of the course and go, “O.K., now I have to go and get a job. That's fine.” For 10 years, I loved it; I really did. I was working with the public. I was creating urban parks in London and having so much fun, but my biggest problem was that the projects were taking too long. They were taking years and years to come to fruition. I started to get itchy feet, so I decided I was going to change, but I didn't know what and I didn't know how. This went on for two years. In the meantime, I made my first ring for Eva, and then it was like, “Oh wow! I can do this.” I had never thought about jewelry before. I had never thought there was this whole world out there. I had no understanding of it, but I knew I was getting excited about it. I was like a dog with a bone. I went to see friends who were jewelers and watchmakers and product designers, and I asked them questions. I had lots of chats with them and they helped me a lot. They gave me books and introduced me to other people, but everything they were saying wasn't interesting to me. They were showing me things that had already been done by people who had already worked with metal, with pearls, with diamonds, and it didn't really interest me. I really wanted to understand paper, so people were showing me origami and folded paper. I was like, “O.K., that's great, but it's not really what I'm interested in.” I wanted to discover something new. I wanted to invent something or do something that no one else was really doing. I was just playing around, and I started stacking paper up. It was like a eureka moment. I compressed them under high pressure, and then it was like, “Oh wow! That works!” It was almost like turning paper back into wood. I created a material—it was a bit like plywood—but I wasn't using any glues or resins. It was also purely natural. It was just paper. I was like, “Oh wow! If I do it like this and I do that, maybe I can make a ring out of this.” That's basically how I started. Sharon: With all the art they taught you, did they touch on jewelry at all? Jeremy: No, never. It was fine art. It was painting. It was a little bit of collage, and we were working with clay. We were working with a lot of materials. We were given the opportunity to experiment and do anything to get the mind working, to be inspired and then to help you come up with a design. They were trying to get you to have a catalyst to get you inspired. Sharon: Inspired for landscape architecture work or everything? Jeremy: Well, it was good training for anything, but in this situation it was for landscape architecture. If ever you got stuck with a design and you didn't know where to go, they were saying, “Why don't you do a collage? Why don't you do a painting? Why don't you make something with your hands?” It would help you become un-stuck and inspire you. At university, my teachers were constantly saying, “Think about something new. Think about something different. Don't go down the same route. Don't copy.” That formed me. What molded me into me now is that I don't want to copy people. I don't want to copy a design. I don't want to copy my same design. I want each piece I make to be unique and one-off. It bores me, in a way, to repeat myself. I can't do it. If someone says to me, “Oh, I like that ring. Can you make one the same?” No, I can't. Sharon: That's interesting. When you went to these jewelers to ask them their opinion or get ideas, you already had it in mind that you wanted to do something different. Jeremy: Yeah, because I didn't know what it was to work with paper. I thought about working with wood or some other material. They gave me books, “This is what other people have done,” and I was like, “That's great, but it's not what I want.” I wasn't inspired. It wasn't like, “Oh, wow! Maybe I can work on that and come up with another solution, another idea.” When I went away, I was a bit disappointed and frustrated, but after sitting there daydreaming—which is one of the things I love, just to daydream, to have the opportunity to sit back and look out the window and let your mind wander. I find a lot of solutions and problems are solved that way. Yes, my friends helped me a lot in showing me what I didn't want to do. Sharon: These people, these jewelers, probably thought you were nuts when you mentioned paper. Jeremy: Yes, in a way. They were classically trained jewelers working with precious metals and I said, “O.K., I want to do something different. I don't know what I want to do. Can you help me? I really want to work with paper because paper is the first material for a wedding anniversary.” That was my starting point. From there, it was like, “O.K., maybe you could do this. Maybe you could that,” and I was like, “O.K.” Sharon: How do you choose the paper and the book? If I come to you with a book, do you say, “O.K., I'll take this book and use it,” or do you have input? Jeremy: Clients come to me and say, “I want you to make me a piece of jewelry.” Some of them will say, “This is the book I want you to use,” and I go, “O.K., that's great.” Other clients say, “I don't know what book I want to use. Can you help me?” and I give them parameters. I say, “If you have a thick book, then the piece of jewelry can be bigger. If it's thin, then you can do a smaller piece.” It comes down to the quality of the book, whether it's hardcover or softcover, the age of the book, the country the book was published in, because that can lead to different qualities of paper. You have a chat with the client about that, but then it comes down to the clients, what book is personal to them. Books are very, very personal, and it means a lot to them to have a particular novel or author. Sharon: Do you have a library yourself that you pull from and say, “How about this book?” Jeremy: Yeah, absolutely I do. My shelves here are absolutely full. I can say, “What about this one? What about that one?” but the majority of the time they say to me, “I'll send you a book,” and they'll go to their own library and clip it out. Or, if they say, “I want this book,” I can start researching to find a suitable copy. I prefer to work with vintage books, ones that have been read or are being used. They feel like they have a history to them. I don't particularly like using new books that have just been printed. Sharon: Do you say to them, “Pick the book,” and give them parameters, and then do you say, “Pick the quote in the book you want”? Jeremy: No, after I receive the book, I read the book completely. While I'm reading, I'm sketching. Within the words, I get inspired for the design of the jewel. From there, I pick a particular quote, and that then inspires me to finalize the design. Sharon: So, you might start out with a ring and then read the book and say, “This should really be a pin,” or “It should be a necklace.” Jeremy: Yeah, absolutely. Sharon: Does the client say anything to you? Do they argue? Jeremy: I am so lucky that clients go with what I say. There have only been a few times when they said, “I really would like some reds. I would like it a little bit bigger.” I'm so lucky that clients just go, “Yup, that's great,” which is completely different from when I was working as a landscape architect. You would take your design to the client and they would go, “I don't know. Maybe you could change this. Maybe you could change that.” You go through so many revisions. Now I'm producing sketches, and I send them to clients and they go, “Yeah, great, fantastic!” I'm like, “Really? Are you sure? Would you like little changes?” “No, I love it. Let's do it.” Sharon: That's very nice that they don't have that many changes, only once in a while. Tell us about the process. How do you make pages stick together? How do you make your jewelry stick together, because it's made of different pieces, right? Jeremy: Yeah. That is a little bit of magic and a little bit of a secret, but I don't use any strong chemicals. I don't use glues or anything like that. I'm basically using high pressure and squashing them together. I use a form of Japanese lacquer to coat them, but the strength of it comes from the actual paper, the lamination. I'm folding the paper. I'm overlapping it and then compressing it into the actual form. Sharon: Does paper jewelry last like a jewel? Jeremy: Absolutely. I made the first one for my wife in 2007 and it's as the day I made it. You do have to respect it. It is paper. It's not metal, so if you do bang it hard, you can chip the corner or it can split. I've had that a couple of times from clients. They didn't realize it, mainly because it's so light. I've had this in galleries. People have come up and gone, “Wow,” and they pick the ring up and then immediately drop it because they expect it to be heavy. It's paper, so I understand that it can damage if they drop it onto a concrete floor or something like that, but I can easily repair it. Sharon: The high pressure and the techniques you use, are they things you learned being a landscape architect? Jeremy: No, this was completely separate. It was through experimentation. Over the years, I've just experimented and changed my techniques over the last 15 years or so. It's a beautiful material to work with because it allows you to do pretty much anything in any form, and I'm constantly experimenting with the form. I'm constantly looking for new techniques or a way of fine-tuning it to be able to make bigger or smaller pieces. I've started to experiment with larger sculptures because I think my work is sculptural. It's sculpture you can wear, and I've thought, “Oh, maybe I can make this slightly bigger.” I use books, so I'm confined by the size of the book. If I can find a big book, then I'm super excited. I have made three or four sculptures now. Sharon: Can you put books together for larger pieces? Jeremy: I suppose I could, but I've never actually done that. Sharon: Would you say what you do is art jewelry? Jeremy: Yeah, I think so. I always think of jewelry as precious materials and gold and stuff like that, so I see my work more as sculpture, jewelry sculpture. I always find it weird to call myself an artist or a jeweler. I don't know exactly what I am, but it's a point to say, “You're this. You're that.” But I create sculpture people can wear, I think. Sharon: How do you describe it to people who walk into a gallery and see all this metal, whether it's an art gallery or a jewelry gallery, and then they see paper jewelry? How do you describe what you do? Jeremy: All my jewelry is set within the book. So, after I've read the book, I'm cutting exactly the amount of paper I need from the book in the shape of the jewel. When I'm finished, the jewel goes back into the book. In the gallery, I present the piece of jewelry with the book, so immediately when they see it, they make the connection, “Ah, it's paper.” Sometimes they say, “Why are you putting clay jewelry in books?” They can't understand. Then I say, “No, it's from the book. It's paper.” “Oh, wow!” I do try and put text or some sort of reference to the book visible on the ring so in an exhibition, people can actually make the connection. Sharon: That's interesting. That's why I asked you how long it lasts. I think of paper jewelry as being really delicate and not long-lasting, but you say you laminate it. Do you make one-offs only? Jeremy: Yeah, absolutely. I do one-offs because I get inspired by the book, that individual, unique book. When I read another book, I get inspired in a completely different direction, which makes it super exciting. When I start reading, I don't know what I'm going to make. By the end of the book, I know exactly what piece I'm going to make. It makes my job super exciting. I never get bored. Sharon: So, you'll pick a book that a client hasn't brought you, but just a book you wanted to read, and you design something while you're reading it. Jeremy: Yeah, exactly. For an exhibition or a gallery exhibition, I'll produce a series of works where I've chosen the book. Normally I choose a theme. I've done exhibitions revolving around Harlem novels or fantasy novels or romances. I do it within a library or a genre. Sharon: How do people find you? What's your biggest way of getting the word out? Jeremy: I honestly don't know. A lot of it has been luck. When I started, a friend of mine had a shop in London and she said, “Why don't you come and do a few pieces in my shop? I can sell them there.” I said, “O.K., great.” From that, someone was walking past. They saw the work and said, “Oh, come and exhibit in Paris.” I said, “O.K., I'll come and exhibit in Paris.” From there I got an exhibition in Japan. It's all been like that. I never really went out looking for galleries or anything. I never pushed my work. People just found me, which has been really nice. Blogs have found me over the years. They come across my website and they've written about me. Then other people write about me through the internet. People are finding me that way. Then Instagram came along, which is fantastic as well. Sharon: Your website is very nice. Tell us the name of the link on your website. We'll have it at the end. Jeremy: It's Littlefly.co.uk. That's Little Fly because in the beginning I didn't know what to call myself or what to call my work. My first ring was inspired by my wife. When she was young, she wasn't given a name, and her eldest brother called her Little Fly. So, I decided that was great. I called it Little Fly and it stuck. Sharon: How old was your wife before she had a name? Jeremy: I think she was three or four. Sharon: When you present something to them and it's finished, do you say to them, “Here's the book. This is where it came from, and this is why it's meaningful to you”? What do you tell them? Jeremy: Yes, I come up with a design. I've spoken a lot with the client and they tell me about themselves. The majority of my clients are men and it's a gift for their partners. Sharon: Oh, that's interesting. Jeremy: Yeah, 90% of my jewels are for men for their partners. In the process, I speak with them and get an understanding of who they are. I understand what they need. After I produce a sketch and I'm showing it to them, then I don't know. Something just kind of clicks. I've had people crying when I've made jewels. A gentleman came to me. He said, “I want you to use the book ‘The Whale Rider,' and I want you to make a ring for my wife.” I said, “O.K., great.” “When you come to London, could you come and meet her and give it to her?” I said, “Yes, of course.” So, we met in a restaurant. I came up, and they were already eating. I handed her the book, and she opened it and burst into tears. I was like, “Oh, no, she doesn't like that. Is it because I've destroyed her favorite book?” But no, she was so excited that she loved it. She immediately connected with it. I don't know how to fully describe it, what I do in relation to the client's desire for a particular piece or colors or form. I've done it for so long, I just seem to get that feeling, that emotion from them. I seem to understand what they need, if that makes sense. Sharon: It does make a lot of sense. Do you think men buy from you for their wives if they feel like their wives already have diamonds and pearls? Jeremy: This is a completely different emotional level. Gentlemen come to me and say, “I've been looking for something different for my wife for years. I found you, and you need to make a piece for her. This is her favorite book.” I had a gentleman who wanted to propose to his wife. This couple had traveled around Australia for two years, and they had used a Lonely Planet travel book for it. Inside there were notes and rips. The book was falling apart, and he wanted to use this exact book for me to make a ring for him to propose to his wife. I've been nervous other times about starting to cut a book, but this is the first time I had this intense emotion that I was cutting the book itself. You could go and buy a new copy for a few pounds, but this book was so emotional and so charged that it was very difficult for me to—I put it off for a long time. It sat on my desk. “Oh, I'll do it later. I'll do it later.” I did it, but sitting there with a scalpel—because I use a scalpel for most of my work—I sat there ready to cut the first page, and that was very difficult. Sharon: Have you ever had a book that's so dog-eared and worn that you haven't been able to use it? Jeremy: Yes, absolutely. I've explained that to the client. No one's actually sent me one, but I have wanted to use a book because it's so beautiful, but it's falling apart. It would just fall apart while I'm creating the jewel. Sharon: Can you put it back together if it's worn? Jeremy: No. I've actually kept them. If books fall apart, I put them on the shelf because I think they're so beautiful as they are. I don't want to repair them because they've had a life. I'd rather go and find another copy that is usable. My shelves are littered with these old books, hundreds of years old. Sharon: Tell us about something you're very proud of, the thing or one or two things you did with—let's call it vintage book jewelry. I don't know what else to call it. Jeremy: That's a very difficult question because I'm always happy about the pieces I'm working on at the moment. I'm proud of all my jewels. I'm super happy with all of them, but what gets me out of bed in the morning is the piece I'm making right now. As soon that one's finished, I don't think about it; I'm thinking about the next one. Sharon: We will have photos posted on the website. Please head to TheJewelryJourney.com to check them out.

Muys Snijders is a powerhouse in the art world, but what makes her even more special is her deep intentions for honoring the artists and making art so accessible to everyone. In our discussion, we pull back the curtain on the art world's past, present and future. I am incredibly passionate about this topic. I've always been an artist at heart and struggled with many of the artist's current dilemmas. I graduated from the College of Fine Arts from Carnegie Mellon University yet despite coming out of one of the top art schools I found it terribly challenging to enter into and make a living in the art world. I was encouraged to be pragmatic and look into commercial areas which ultimately landed me in the advertising industry. I've thought a lot about what the underlying reasons are for receiving advice that moved me away from my passion. I recognize how much we undervalue the arts in our current times and believe that connecting to the arts offers an opportunity to connect with much deeper parts of ourselves and our society. We'll get into this and much more shortly covering innovation, diversity, patronage as well as emerging technology in the arts. Muys is a seasoned executive and visionary leader with over 25 years of international experience working in the art world. She launched her own art consultancy firm and served as the Managing Director of Christie's Americas. Muys has a deep knowledge of the market for Post War & Contemporary Art having led the division for Bonhams in New York and prior to that, she was the Global Director of Client Strategy and Private Sales for this department at Christie's. Muys holds an MA in Art History and Classical Archaeology from Leiden University in the Netherlands, as well as an MA in Arts Management from Greenwich University and an MA in Art Market Appraisal from Kingston University in the UK. Muys is also a graduate of the Senior Executive Leadership Program for China from Harvard Business School, Tsinghua University in Beijing, and CEIBS in Shanghai and most recently obtained a Certificate in Alternative Investments from Harvard Business School. She is multilingual and has worked in London, Amsterdam as well as New York. But don't be intimidated as we know how the art space can often feel. Muys is as approachable and inspiring as she is experienced.

Why do we take certain decisions during an evacuation process? How do we choose the evacuation route? These are often affected by cognitive biases, which is the main theme of today's episode. With Dr Michael Kinsey we will discuss how biases can be used to understand known behaviours and model human behaviour in a more realistic way. A lot of focus is placed on the evacuation modelling, and how the decision-making processes are implemented in the computer models... And in the end, we talk a bit about biases in engineering and evacuation of tall buildings - after all, Michael lives and works in Shanghai.Connect with Michael at https://twitter.com/DrMichaelKinsey--- Linkedin Discussion Thread ---https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6821332317399760896--- Useful links ---The paper on cognitive biases, which was the theme of this episode: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10694-018-0708-0Mike's lecture on cognitive biases: https://www.oasys-software.com/news/research-cognitive-biases-within-decision-making-during-fire-evacuations/Mike's keynote on cognitive biases at FEMTC 2020: https://www.femtc.com/events/2020/d1-02-kinsey/PhD on the dynamic signage mentioned in the episode: https://gala.gre.ac.uk/id/eprint/8080/Recent papers of Fire Safety Engineering Group at Greenwich University:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0379711221001454https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/authShare/S0379711221001454/20210708T123300Z/1?md5=35a030d79a5c6c6f396effad3e921a2e&dgcid=author (free download till 27.08.2021)Learning how to learn course that was briefly mentioned by myself: https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn

Dans ce petit pays d'Afrique de l'Ouest, une équipe de chercheurs a retrouvé la trace d'un café sauvage que l'on croyait disparu depuis le début des années 1960. Cette découverte suscite beaucoup d'enthousiasme, car elle pourrait rebooster le secteur mondial du café, menacé ces dernières années par le réchauffement climatique. « On marche depuis maintenant deux bonnes heures, à pied dans les collines de Kambui, et là, on se rapproche du jardin de la stenophylla sauvage… ». Il y a peu, c'est ici que Daniel Sarmu, agronome, et une équipe de chercheurs du Kew Gardens et de la Greenwich University ont fait une découverte majeure. « Voilà l'un des arbres ! Une des façons de les reconnaître, c'est d'observer la queue de leurs feuilles. Tout au bout… C'est très pointu et un peu courbé », explique-t-il. Cultivée jusqu'au début du XXe siècle, la stenophylla était consommée sur les meilleures tables européennes. Trop rare, elle a été progressivement remplacée par l'arabica et le robusta. Boudé des marchés, oublié des agriculteurs, on croyait ce café totalement disparu depuis 1954. « De 2013 à 2018, on a cherché. Et on s'est rendu compte que ça ne poussait qu'à une altitude de 400 mètres. Donc est venus dans cette forêt, on a escaladé, et enfin on a aperçu trois ou quatre arbres », raconte Daniel Sarmu. Des espoirs immenses En Sierra Leone, le café est cultivé depuis des décennies, mais le pays peine à se faire une place sur le marché mondial : il n'est qu'à la 19e place des pays exportateurs en Afrique. Avec cette redécouverte de la stenophylla, les espoirs sont donc immenses. Conscients de la manne financière qu'elle pourrait représenter d'ici à quelques années, Graham Billington, exportateur de café et de cacao a investi dans une ferme pour tenter de relancer la culture. « On veut créer un café qui soit commercialement viable. Surtout qu'avec les effets du réchauffement climatiques sur l'arabica, la stenophylla pourrait devenir la solution pour une production de masse, car elle aime les climats chauds. Si on parvient à la multiplier, on aura un café très prometteur », réjouit-il. Illy, Lavazza ou Nestlé ont déjà fait part de leur intérêt. Mais pour quel bénéfice pour les Sierra Léonais ? À l'orée de la forêt, les communautés qui vivent dans des conditions précaires s'inquiètent de voir ce trésor leur échapper. « On est heureux de la redécouverte de ce café, mais ça vient d'ici, donc on demande au gouvernement de nous laisser participer à son développement, qu'on puisse aussi en profiter pour vivre mieux », explique Amara Mambu N'gimbumamgo, chef de village. En Sierra Leone, un petit producteur de café gagne en moyenne 100 dollars par an. Les autorités espèrent donc que la stenophylla améliore les revenus des paysans, ce à quoi les entreprises disent s'engager. Il faut neuf ans pour qu'un caféier stenophylla arrive à maturation, il faudra donc revenir vérifier dans quelques années.

This week Claudia Hammond looks at the role of touch in health care, revealing some of the results of the Touch Test, an online study commissioned by Wellcome Collection in collaboration with the BBC. Doctors often need to physically examine patients – but many consultations are now online. Family doctors Margaret McCartney and Ann Robinson explain how important touch is in the consulting room. One of the experts behind the Touch Test, Greenwich University’s Dr Natalie Bowling explains how men said they found touch helped them to communicate better with their doctor. And Deborah Bowman who’s professor of Bioethics at St George’s University in London reflects on how she helps trainee doctors to respect their patients’ dignity by practising on each other. Can touch play a role in talking therapies? Or is hugging a distressed client too risky, following #metoo? And we hear from Anne Townsend who has lost her sense of touch as a side effect of chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. Reflexology – where the feet are gently massaged – has helped to relieve some of her symptoms like pain and breathlessness – and she is looking forward to the birth of her first great grandson later this month.

Campaigner and activist Amy Kavanagh is partially sighted and on her daily trip to work receives much unwanted touch. Some touch from strangers is well meaning but without her consent, while she is also subject to abusive and violent touch. In Anatomy of Touch Dr Natalie Bowling from Greenwich University and co-creator of the BBC Touch Test looks at what the results tell us about touch between strangers. Where do people find it acceptable for strangers to touch them, what are the differences between men and women, how would most people like to be greeted by their boss and is it OK for your boss to kiss you at a party? The study looked at attitudes around consent and Joanna Bourke Professor of History at Birkbeck University looks at issues of consent and entitlement. And while it might seem that social distancing would prevent unwanted touch, evidence suggests that there is a transfer of the abuse online. Meanwhile for Amy she isn’t travelling to work anymore because Covid means she can’t see who is around her and the risk of catching Covid is too high. But she does have a campaign ready for when she can travel again which is #JustAskDon’tGrab.

Conversations with Leaders: Uzma Arif-Fryer Uzma is the Deputy CEO of Greenwich University Students’ Union and Head of Membership Services. She’s a proud BAME woman who is passionate about supporting her staff and students to access opportunities for development and promotion. We learn what Students' Unions do and the incredible support they give to students across the UK as a powerful force. In this podcast we talk about her experience as an Asian woman and the barriers she’s faced in her career – from pay inequality to not being asked to key meetings and seeing white, male counterparts promoted over her. We hear how the CEO and senior leadership at Greenwich support BAME staff through development opportunities and open, collaborative conversations but how this isn’t the case at every SU. With our other guest Bill Yuksel (Peridot Business Manager), a former Sabbatical Officer and current Students’ Union Trustee, we discuss how the student movement should be supporting better diversity within the SU workforce. In the podcast we also talk about the barriers to creating an inclusive and diverse workforce and what needs to change to support progress. From recruitment through to supporting BAME staff in the workplace, while the student movement is seen as progressive, there appears still much to be done.

In this podcast I speak to Dr Glen Davison (@GlenD800) and Dr Judith Allgrove about their research and activities associated with the immune system. We talk about differences in immune function between men and women and how the immune system is affected by exercise and by the menstrual cycle. We also talk about immune-related risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, as well as various lifestyle strategies to enhance our immune function for when we exercise. Dr Judith Allgrove (@JudithAllgrove) completed her first degree in physiology at the University of Bristol. She then went onto study for an MSc and PhD in exercise physiology at Loughborough University, where she was awarded the postgraduate progression prize for outstanding academic achievement. Following a period working in a research post in exercise immunology at Loughborough, she moved to London to work as a senior lecturer in exercise physiology at Greenwich University, before taking her current post as senior lecturer in human physiology at Kingston University. Judith’s principal research interests lie in exercise-induced stress, the immune response and nutritional interventions in men and women. She is also interested in the study of markers of cardiovascular and Type 2 diabetes risk, particularly in relation to exercise and nutrition. Judith has worked on projects in a variety of areas including swimming, professional football, rugby and the fitness industry. Dr Glen Davison is Reader and Director of Research in the School of Sport and Exercise Sciences at the University of Kent, where he also co-ordinates the Endurance Research Group. He attained his first degree in Sport and Exercise Sciences (Sheffield Hallam) in 2001, MSc in Exercise Physiology (Sheffield Hallam) in 2002, and PhD in Nutrition and Exercise Immunology (Loughborough University) in 2006. He spent five years at Aberystwyth University in Wales before joining the University of Kent in 2011. Glen is a BASES-Accredited sport and exercise scientist (Physiology) and a Chartered Scientist (CSci). He has worked with amateur, elite and professional athletes from a range of sports, including football, rugby, hockey, athletics, triathlon and cycling. Glen’s research interests include: Nutrition and exercise immunology; interval training; and strategies to maintain optimal health and performance in athletes. He is currently conducting a study on variability in responses to caffeine (and the role of genetic variations), where he is comparing males and females to see whether they respond differently.
John Schless is the Chief exec for the Student Union at Greenwich University discussing his journey from a small town setting as head boy at school with girlfriends, to moving to university and coming out as gay. We discuss the adjustment his parents needed to make, how he internalised his struggle with gay shame and turned to food as escapism, how he understands his body and his mind now and the advice he would give to his younger self. While we muse on how cuts in the UK are impacting services that could support young people coming to terms with their sexuality, we also notice how the world is changing and there are more avenues than ever to get support from friends and communities online. John's advice if you're struggling now is: It Gets Better. No state stays the same, so hold on and notice what is in your power, including how you look after your body and mind.
Ever feel like you missed something important when it comes to the news? A fact, a detail, or an event that it feels like everyone else knows about, and now you'd look like a moron if you asked someone to explain? Well, here's a podcast that will ask those questions so you don't have to.This week, host Danielle Ward is joined by Dr James Kennell, principal lecturer on Tourism, Events & Hospitality at Greenwich University in London, who can tell us literally everything about tourism. Danielle is joined by comedians Jessica Fostekew (The Guilty Feminist ) and Nat Tapley (The Revolution Will Be Televised, HistoryHit.tv).Questions asked and answered include:How many Queens does our economy need?Why shouldn't you pay attention to Americans and Brits on TripAdvisor?When's the best time to book a holiday?Why is foreign money easier to spend?....so if you've sort of been guessing the answers based on a gut feeling, why not listen and find out for sure? And then subscribe to stay equally informed about other issues, as we get around to them.All our guests are on Twitter, so go and say hello - @jameskennell @jessicafostekew and @natt, and Danielle is @captainward. And the show itself now has a Twitter account: @AnyStupidQs. Follow it for information about upcoming episodes, recordings, and extra bits of the show that had to be cut for any reason (usually it's just a bit off-topic; this week it's because we wanted the show to be under 45 minutes long).Produced by Ed Morrish (@edmorrish)Music from www.akmmusic.co.uk See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Cinematic Influences on Star Trek: First Contact. As a first-time movie director, the stakes could not have been higher for Jonathan Frakes when he signed on to helm the Next Generation crew’s first solo outing, Star Trek: First Contact. Aware that his small-screen experience might not cut it at the cinema, he immersed himself in the work of three science-fiction masters-Ridley Scott, Steven Spielberg, and James Cameron-from whom he borrowed cinematic touches. It was an approach that paid off handsomely, as the resulting film was both a commercial and critical success, cementing Frakes’s reputation as a safe pair of hands. In this episode of Primitive Culture, host Duncan Barrett is joined by Chris Nunn, a lecturer in film at Greenwich University in London, to look at some of the movies that influenced the making of First Contact. Together, they put themselves into Jonathan Frakes’s screening room, teasing out connections between the works he viewed and the movie he ended up making, and how First Contact’s mélange of cinematic nods and styles contributes to its success as a work of art in its own right.

In which these two ayahuasca commentators discuss the commodification of ayahuasca and the impact of the spiritual tourism boom in South America, the drive of the U.N.'s INCB to criminalize the growing entheogenic revival around the world, the nature of culture clash and the power of 'isms' to dichotomize worldviews and keep us separate. Narby relates his Marxist-anthropology origins and efforts to tackle the World Bank's damaging effect on tribal peoples; his first ayahuasca experiences and shape-changing into a jaguar; the UV spectrum and seeing 'spirits'; the double-helix DNA shape and the ubiquity of snakes in shamanic iconography; molecular biology, plant sentience and the Gaian worldview that such a paradigm opens up, and much, much more... With thanks to Joshua Wickerham of the Ayahuasca Sustainability Initiative.
