Unearthed Australian Opal is set to make opal industry history with an unprecedented event, Unearthing Opal Live. This groundbreaking occasion brings together live opal mining and a simultaneous auction of any rough opal discovered during the event. Taking place on August 2, Unearthing Opal Live will be a thrilling 3.5-hour live stream from an opal mine in Coober Pedy, the renowned Opal Capital Of The World. And the Adelaide Show has the inside scoop with tonight's guests. And in the Musical Pilgrimage, Slava and Leonard Grigoryan.

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concise page Running Sheet: Unearthing Opal Love From Coober Pedy 00:00:00 Intro Introduction 00:00:00 SA Drink Of The Week No SA Drink Of The Week this episode. 00:02:28 Dan Measey, Renee Everest, Chris Warman Opal enthusiasts and collectors around the globe will witness a world-first as Unearthing Opal Live combines the captivating elements of real-time opal mining with the excitement of a live auction. This unique event allows viewers to watch the mining process unfold before their eyes, ask questions about the process, and bid on the gems as they are unearthed, creating an unparalleled opportunity to acquire opals with genuine provenance. However, Unearthing Opal Live is not just an event. It is a personal journey driven by the passion and expertise of its owner and founder, Dan Measey, who started prospecting in Coober Pedy when he was one year old. Dan's fate as an opal prospector was sealed when his opal-mining father dug him a new bedroom in the family's underground dugout home in the late 70s. The home extension yielded a blue, green, crystal opal the size of a cigarette packet worth $1500! While online auctions for opals are not uncommon, Unearthing Opal Live will take this experience to an entirely new level because the telecast will show opal mining in real time and enable viewers to immediately participate in a live auction to bid on the gems freshly discovered from the mine. This unique combination of mining and auction provides an exclusive opportunity to own opals with a direct connection to the source. As Dan says, "this will be the closest thing to experiencing real mining because viewers will share the anticipation that accompanies prospecting. They'll share in the thrill of not knowing whether any opal will be found, mirroring the experience we have every day as we explore our claim." You can read more on the Unearthed Australian Opal website: Unearthing Opal Live. The livestream is now over. This episode now includes a bonus hour of chatter from the event. 01:49:25 Musical Pilgrimage Our featured song this episode is actually an instrumental composition by Slava and Leonard Grigoryan entitled, Fred's Vision. Given our presence in the outback for this episode, it's a perfect opportunity to play a track inspired by Fred Hollows. Fred was an opthamologist who was inspired to restore eyesight to thousands of people in Australia and overseas. He always pushed for change and spent much of his career fighting for better access to eye health and better living conditions for Indigenous Australians. He was known for carrying a little wooden box full of lenses and frames and when the Grigoryan brothers saw that box, they were inspired to compose this track; Fred's Vision. Fred's Vision is from the Grigoryan Brother's album, This Is Us.

One of Australia's foremost guitarists, Slava Grigoryan is counted as among the finest musicians of his generation. He appears on a whopping 29 albums and, along with his brother and fellow guitarist Leonard, has won 4 ARIA awards and been nominated for countless more. He's performed in venues around the world, from London's Royal Albert Hall to Vienna's Konzerthaus, and is not afraid to perform all genres. He and Leonard, along with fellow guitarists Andrew Blanch and Vlad Gorbarch, are launching the Australian Guitar Quartet, performing their first concert at The Great Synagogue, on Tuesday 28 February as part of Live at Yours. Since recording this interview, Live at Yours have scheduled a second concert at The Great Synagogue on Wednesday 1 March. In this conversation, Slava talks about the impetus behind the Australian Guitar Quartet, shares the story of his parents leaving the USSR when he was a very small child to find a new home in Australia, and has tales from his long and successful career, including working with KD Lang.

In this special episode the multi-award winning guitarists Slava and Leonard Grigoryan take us back into Australian history in three enchanting pieces of music. Each track features on their acclaimed album, This Is Us, which arose out of a collaborative project with the National Museum of Australia. *** Over the past two decades the Grigoryan Brothers have established themselves as among the finest Australian musicians of their generation. Several years ago, following a chance meeting at a concert in Adelaide, they were invited to begin an unusual collaboration with the National Museum of Australia in Canberra. To mark its twentieth birthday the museum invited the brothers to select a series of objects from its collections and to use them as the inspiration for a series of original compositions. The project went forward during the Covid 19 Pandemic and in 2021 the resulting album, This Is Us, was published. The music engages with a broad range of fascinating Australian histories, from ones connected with the Aboriginal and Torres Islander Strait peoples, to the cricketing feats of Donald Bradman, and those of the nineteenth-century astronomers who first scoured the southern skies. In a departure from our usual format, we did not ask Slava and Leonard to pick one calendar year. Instead we invited them to play three songs and to tell us about the objects that inspired them.  This Is Us by the Grigoryan Brothers is streaming now. Read more about the project at the National Museum of Australia's website. Show notes Song One: ‘Love Token' – inspired by the convicts' love tokens. Song Two: ‘Stolen' – inspired by a gate salvaged from a children's home. Song Three: ‘Fortunate Wind' – inspired by an anchor belonging to HMS Investigator Years: c.1932 / 1950s.

En paneldiskusjon om ytringsfrihet og inkludering Medier spiller en veldig viktig rolle i dagens samfunn og i migrasjonslitteraturuka skal vi se nærmere på to initiativtakere som leder inkluderende medieplattformer i Norge. I samtalen med dem skal vi diskutere hvorfor det er viktig å å gi rom for mangfoldige synspunkter i media? Hva slags litteratur produseres om innvandrere i norske medier? Hvem skriver om innvandrere? Hvor kan vi høre stemmene til innvandrere selv? Hvorfor vil vi ha en mer inkluderende medierepresentasjon? Vi har invitert journalisten Ahmedur Rashid Chowdhury, som jobber mest med nett- og temabaserte internasjonale publikasjoner som fremmer mangfoldig synspunkter fra hele verden , og Varazdat Gregorian som er redaktør i Nordlig Regnbue, en lokalavis som fremmer stemmer til innvandrere i Levanger og Verdal. Samtalen skal ledes av Adria Scharmen, Trondheim fribykoordinator Ahmedur_Rashid_Chowdhury is the publisher and editor of free speech website Shuddhashar. He survived an assassination attempt against him by Islamist extremists in 31 October, 2015 and currently lives in exile in Norway. He is the winner of the Shahid Munir Chowdhury best publisher Award 2013, Pen-Pinter International Writer of Courage Award 2016, The Jeri Laber international freedom to publish Award 2016, International Publishers Association (IPA), Freedom to Publish Prize Finalist, 2016, International Publishers Association (IPA), Prix Voltaire Short List 2018 and Ossietzky Prize 2018. Varazdat Grigoryan er i dag redaktør av Nordlig Regnbue, en ukeavis som blir distribuert sammen med avisa Innherred. Han er forfatter til «En lystig karusell» 2004, og «Norge gjennom våre solbriller». 2008. Grigoryan (født 1958) vokste opp i den armenske hovedstaden Jerevan. Han har utdanning innen språk, litteratur og journalistikk ved det statlige universitet i byen, og var i en lengre periode velkjent journalist i den største avisen der. Han har også publisert enkeltstående noveller. Etter at Armenia fikk sin selvstendighet, kom Grigoryan i konflikt med det nye politiske styret. I 1997 dro han til Sverige for å søke asyl. Søknaden ble avslått, og han kom deretter til Norge i mai i 2000. Knapt to år senere fikk han oppholdstillatelse her i landet. I desember samme år etablerte han Nordlig Regnbue, som i snart 20 år har hatt ukentlige bidrag i avisa Innherred (tidligere Levangeravisa). En avis med mange priser: «Årets lokalavis» prisen 2005, Ildsjel-prisen for Levanger kommune 2008, Nordtrønderhumanist-prisen 2009 og Mangfold i Nord-Trøndelag-prisen 2011.

This IMG is successfully training in Emergency Medicine residency but she heard “NO” several times before she got to where she is today. I “felt” her story deep inside my heart. I could see the resilience and strength she has built through this process. After not being able to match on the first attempt, she did not give up. Observership, clerkships … you name it. She did it. Yet nothing was happening. She loved EM so much that she was ready to give up the road to residency in order to apply into nursing school just so that she could stay and work in the emergency department as an ED nurse! If that is not determination to be in the ER, then I must not know what is. Just before she gave up, this door opened for her and now she is where she believes she is meant to be! In today's podcast she also insist on why US citizens should avoid the stress of going to the Caribbean especially if they are not resilient enough to put in the work it requires to network and make this path work for one's self.

Why Are We Here Now? After the Wildly Improbable Lecture, Sep 16, 2017 Original version

When Gareth Liddiard of the Drones took to the stage as the headline act of NGV’s Friday Night series, he took a moment to remind the audience of an unpopular Vincent Van Gogh fact. “He stinks” he said, with a wry grin. He was referring not to Van Gogh’s paintings, but to Vincent himself. Reminding everyone that one of the greatest artists of the 20th century and the star of the most successful NGV international exhibition to ever go on display, actually stank. “In fact if he walked in here now,” Liddiard continued, “You’d probably have him arrested.” The mythology around Van Gogh is so pervasive now that it is difficult to imagine a time where he was not lauded as an artistic, if troubled, genius. Perhaps it is remembered, but in a self congratulatory way - “I would have known, I would have been different and seen him as the genius that he was.” And to this Liddiard calls bullshit. Liddiard is a loveable rogue who sings like someone having the air squeezed out of them - visceral but with a sense of brutal honesty. This felt like a natural continuation of his conversation with the audience, with lyrics reminding them to examine the world in which they find themselves and not accepting the comfortable complacency of believing our cultural heroes are people we would actually like. The casting of David Wenham as Van Gogh in the exhibition film and audio guide is interesting in connection to this. Every woman who has ever watched Sea Change knows that David Wenham is a babe, and when he loses his good looks to the ravages of time he is going to make a fortune doing audio books. He is nothing if not incredibly palatable, sexy even, to the general public - perhaps the opposite in demeanour to Van Gogh? By making the life of an artist a narrative, and a tragic narrative at that, and making the protagonist of that narrative attractive to the champagne clutching classes who go out to galleries for a good time on a Friday night, do we not lose the parts of his work that are challenging or unpleasant? Far from wanting to trot out that tired turn of phrase that art should disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed - I wonder, that even though there is so much of his art and his letters that remain, is Vincent Van Gogh not lost in the myth that surrounds him, depending on whatever romantic notion the public holds at the time? Does the man himself lose value if we do not like him? This review seems critical, I know, but I am actually so impressed by the curation of this exhibition and event. Yes, they seemingly crafted the evening around older gallery goers who love that the Grigoryan brothers are going to be playing arrangements of Debussy’s Clair de Lune and that the Elan string quartet play it just as safe - but then they follow up with a headliner like Gareth Liddiard. His presence brought with it a breath of fresh air, a touch of cynicism and the highest concentration of mullets I have ever seen in the NGV. This exhibition has had the largest visitor numbers of any international exhibition ever displayed at the NGV - this Friday Night event sold out. What is it about Van Gogh that draws in people in such numbers? His reputation or mythology? Curator Laurie Benson explained he believe’s it is because Van Gogh died at the peak of his talent - he didn't go on for another 30 years diluting these works. However, the fact that we can never know how Van Gogh could have progressed as an artist taints this theory for me. I think it cements a mythology of the tortured artist as a genius that quickly burns out the life that channels it. I know myth has a pull - its very popular. But what about the loss - not knowing what he could have gone on to create? The tragedy that he had to die to achieve fame with, let's face it, people he would have detested? This exhibition revels in the many sides of Van Gogh that appeared in his work and his life, facilitating questions such as these - on the nature of the art world, the cultural notions surrounding creativity and social acceptability. These are ideas that appeal widely and ignite the curiosity of the romantic and cynical alike. Written by Gill LangfordSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
