This week it's a look at the Garden State. New Jersey isn't usually on the top of lists when it comes to craft beer, but Brie Devlin, the executive director of the state's brewing guild, is looking to change that through initiatives and outreach. Visit AllAboutBeer.com for more podcasts, to read original articles, and to get info on upcoming events.Click here to support independent journalism covering the beer industry.This Episode is Sponsored by:Berkeley YeastOur Tropics yeast is based on a London Ale strain, but we added a new gene to its genome that codes for a unique thiol-releasing enzyme. The enzyme converts the precursors in barley to free thiols that smell and taste like passionfruit and grapefruit. It's super clean. No off-flavors like burnt rubber or other sulfurous notes. Just tropical aromatics. You don't have to do anything unusual either, like mash hopping. Just pitch dry Tropics and supercharge your hazy IPA.Dogfish Head Craft BreweryCalling all hop heads! Dogfish Head's 60 Minute IPA is a fantastically hoppy India Pale Ale that's beautifully balanced thanks to their unique continual hopping method. Delivering a pungent hop flavor that isn't crushingly bitter, 60 Minute is continually hopped throughout the boil for a full 60 minutes … starting to see where the name comes from?!

If historians of medieval London had a patron saint, it might well be Edward I. While many English monarchs chose to leave London to its own devices, Edward decided from the start of his reign in 1272 to put pressure on the city to justify its liberties. The result was a profusion of bureaucracy, most notably in the Letter Books, that describe the life of London and its people in vivid detail, from disputes, petitions and regulations to the names of all the city's apprentices. This record-keeping was good for the city too, reinforcing a powerful system of guilds supporting hundreds of trades and a flourishing merchant and consumer culture. But when the Black Death arrived in England in 1348, London's population was devastated, and its social and economic life transformed. In this episode, Rosemary is joined again by Matthew Davies, professor of urban history at Birkbeck, to look at how England's capital coped both with its rapid rise in the first half of the 14th century and a long period turmoil thereafter, including the Hundred Years' War, the revolts of Wat Tyler and Jack Cade, and the Wars of the Roses.

The story re-focuses itself on the city over the next few years; quiet ones in the chronicle of the place, and yet ideal to look over London and its sense of place. By the end of this decade it was to undergo massive changes, so now is a perfect time to remind ourselves of how it looked and felt; from the rise of the booksellers of St Paul's Churchyard, to the blatant militancy of the Guilds towards foreigners regardless of the Kings fury at the rioters in last chapter; from the curious case of the murder of a tailor whose death started a debate that was to have huge implications in the years to come, to how its houses were built- this is an episode about its sounds, its smells, its people and more. The city was poised between two ideas of itself- the mythic Troynovant, ancient, unchanging, defined by its traditions; and the imaginary Amaurotum, its dark mirror as reflected in Thomas More's bestseller, Utopia. And of the event in distant Germany which was to herald in the new age…Cover features photograph of The London Wall.

Today Gail is joined by Holly Jackson, a mixed media textile artist based on a tiny island in the Chesapeake Bay, living and working from a fisherman's cottage dating back to 1870.Holly combines traditional stumpwork techniques with contemporary narratives and an interest in lost people and places. Her work has been featured on Fiber Talk, Stitchery Stories, and in All Stitched Up, and she exhibits regularly along the east coast of the United States.Already an exhibiting artist, Holly chose to undertake Stumpwork Stage 2 with the School of Stitched Textiles and is now progressing through our Master Practitioner programme.In this episode, we explore what structured, assessed study looks like from an American perspective — particularly given that City & Guilds qualifications are not a typical pathway for textile artists in the US.We talk about:• why she chose formal study when she was already exhibiting• what assessment and tutor feedback actually feel like• how her work evolved through the programme• whether studying remotely from the US presents any real barriers• and what she would say to other American textile artists who are curious but unsure.LinksIG: @flossinginthemoonlightWebsite: https://flossinginthemoonlight.comSchool of Stitched Textiles https://www.sofst.org/

Hello Scummers!Welcome back to our ongoing dive into the Merchant Guilds of Necromunda, where the money flows, the bodies pile up and somehow it all balances out in the end. Probably.In Episode 3 of our series, we're getting uncomfortably familiar with two of the hive's most essential institutions. The Corpse Guild and the Guild of Coin.First up, the Corpse Guild. Necromunda's least appreciated, most unavoidable public service. We chat about how the dead don't stay useless for long in the underhive, the grim machinery that keeps the corpse starch flowing, and why you really don't want to fall behind on your final contributions. It's not pretty, but it is efficient, in that horrifying, dystopian kind of way.Then we swing hard into the Guild of Coin, where credits rule everything and owing someone a favour is just a polite way of saying you've ruined your life. We dig into how wealth moves through the hive, who actually controls it, and why the wrong debt can see you vanish faster than a sump rat in a chem spill.And of course, we've got a story, because what's Necromunda without a bit of personal tragedy? This week it's Barry, a poor drudge whose luck is so impressively terrible that he somehow ends up on both guilds' radars at once. Let's just say if there's a worst-case scenario, Barry's already lived it.It's grim, it's ridiculous, and it's exactly why we love this setting.Enjoy, Scummers!Want to support the show? ⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/underhivelorekeepers⁠End music theme is Celltrance by Lobo Loco.https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Lobo_Loco/free-for-you-cc-by/celltrance-id-2346/

Good Sunday to you,Geoffrey Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales in around 1400, and it is considered one of the first great works of English literature.Try reading it today and you might question the “English” part. Here're the opening lines:Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote,The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,It does not get much easier.Canterbury Tales is the story of group of pilgrims who walk from Southwark to Canterbury Cathedral. I have done the pilgrimage myself and I would urge you to as well. The structure is quite simple. To pass the time, the pilgrims have to a storytelling contest and so each tells his or her tale. There are around thirty pilgrims - in effect, thirty professions, and so we get the Knight's Tale, the Miller's Tale, the Wife of Bath's Tale and so on.Here is the interesting part. Since the story was written in 1400 we have had, off the top of my head, the printing press, the Agricultural Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, steam power, fossil fuels, the internal combustion engine, electricity, aviation, nuclear power, computers, the internet, smartphones and now artificial intelligence.And yet, if you look the list of characters below, every single one of Chaucer's professions still exists in some recognisable form today.You could go all the way back to the dawn of civilisation and argue the same thing. We still have farmers. We still have merchants. We still have lawyers, doctors, religious people, soldiers, landlords, craftsmen, entertainers, administrators and hustlers.AI will change the nature of the job, but it will not erase the underlying human needs that created it.Machines put many farm labourers out of work at the turn of the 19th century, but they also generated enormous productivity, which created new industries and new jobs, and, it's worth noting, productivity which enabled us to be able to ban slavery. The net result was not mass permanent unemployment but rising prosperity.What Actually ChangesWhat does get destroyed is power structure.Feudalism has gone. The Church no longer dominates European politics - not the Christian Church, anyway. Guilds have faded. The landed aristocracy has all but gone. In their place we have the modern State, bureaucracy, multinational banks, global corporations, Big Tech, Big Pharma, the mainstream media and so on.AI is more likely to erode existing hierarchies than to eliminate work altogether. It will compress middle layers. It will reduce friction. It will concentrate power in some places and decentralise it in others.If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I recommend is The Pure Gold Company. More here.The winners are likely to include: platforms, energy producers, owners of scare assets, large scale infrastructure, those who control distribution. AI is already being used in manufacturing, agriculture and mining, but so much to replace jobs as to increase productivity. You can't help feeling the physical economy is a better place to be than parts of the digital - at least for now, though I guess robots are next if those Chinese videos doing the rounds are anything to go by.Who else wins? AI and machine learning engineers, obviously, certain content creators, those who get good at prompting will find it useful for anything from medicine to plumbing to consultancy.The losers will be among those whose job is mainly to control access to or verify information that AI can now do instantly. Think: interpreters and translators, proofreaders and editors, coders, copywriters and journalists, graphic designers, sales reps, basic financial advisors. I think long-distance drivers' days are numbered too.The work doesn't disappear but the pricing power and margins collapse.Legacy media distribution - not the content creators themselves, but the distribution gatekeepers who controlled which creators reached audiences. Publishers who mainly performed filtering rather than editing, talent agencies for routine work, certain music labels.The job may technically exist but the power and economics drain away.Chaucer's Cast, ModernisedFinally, below is Chaucer's professional cross-section of medieval England. I have added approximate modern equivalents.* Narrator – content creator (!)* Host – Event organiser, podcast presenter* Knight – Army officer* Squire – Cadet, trainee officer* Knight's Yeoman – Bodyguard, fixer, executive assistant* Prioress – Headmistress, senior religious leader* Second Nun – Clergy* Nun's Priest – Chaplain* Monk – Monk* Friar – Fundraiser, community organiser* Merchant – Import–export, trader, entrepreneur* Clerk – Researcher* Man of Law – Barrister, judge* Franklin – Wealthy landowner, landlord, businessman* Haberdasher – Fashion retailer, Etsy seller* Carpenter – Builder* Weaver – Textile manufacturer* Dyer – Industrial processor* Tapestry-maker – Textile artisan* Cook – Chef* Shipman – Merchant mariner, sailor* Physician – Doctor* Wife of Bath – Self-made businesswoman* Parson – Parish priest* Plowman – Smallholder farmer* Miller – Construction materials supplier* Manciple – Buyer, procurement officer* Reeve – Estate manager, COO* Summoner – Bailiff, compliance officer* Pardoner – Carbon credit broker* Canon – Serial start-up founder, “entrepreneur'* Canon's Yeoman – Startup engineerThe Real QuestionI think a fear frenzy is being whipped up - and I say this as someone who has lost his primary source of income (voiceovers) to AI.The work changes. The tools change. The leverage changes. The power centres change. The underlying human needs do not.There will still be farmers because people eat. There will still be merchants because people trade. There will still be storytellers because people crave stories. Most importantly of all, there will still be opportunities, if anything there will be more of them.AI will reduce headcount in some sectors. It will elevate productivity so dramatically that fewer people are required to produce more output. That is economic evolution.If you are worried about AI taking your job, ask yourself this: are you positioned inside an old power structure that is about to weaken? Or are you aligned with the next one forming?Join the gang.Until next time,DominicICYMI here is this week's commentaryFinally, Charlie Morris and I appeared on In The Company of Mavericks this week to discuss what's been going on with gold, silver and bitcoin. (Charlie writes Atlas Pulse which I heartily recommend. Get your copy here - it's free.)Links to Spotify and Apple podcasts are here: This is a public episode.

Ralan and Rebecca meet with the Crown of Gaotteland, the warlord who just invaded Ness. While Ralan fears revealing Pietro's magical secrets, Rebecca insists her adoptive father only cares about resources, not power. Their tense approach through Wilhelm's guards and his Second, Joseph, leads to an unexpected reunion—one where Wilhelm recognizes both his wandering daughter and the Guildmaster who simply walked out of captivity.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-thieves-guild--6141933/support.Some secrets are worth dying for.

Creating Plant Guilds with Native Plants in Washington State Discover how to design thriving, low-maintenance landscapes by mimicking nature's own plant communities! In this solo episode, we explore the concept of plant guilds—groups of plants that work together to create mutually beneficial ecosystems—using Washington's incredible diversity of native species. Learn the essential layers of a successful guild, from canopy trees down to groundcovers, and how each plant plays a specific role in supporting the whole community. We feature detailed deep dives into two guilds: Western Washington Rainforest Edge Guild - Multi-layered woodland for moist, shaded sites with plants like Western Red Cedar, Vine Maple, Red-flowering Currant, and Sword Fern Eastern Washington Shrub-Steppe Guild - Incredibly drought-tolerant plants for hot, dry sites featuring Ponderosa Pine, Big Sagebrush, Rabbitbrush, and Arrowleaf Balsamroot Plus overviews of four additional guilds covering Garry Oak savanna, Palouse prairie, mountain meadows, and riparian corridors. Get practical tips on implementation, maintenance, and common mistakes to avoid when creating your own native plant guilds. Resources mentioned in this episode, along with a full transcript, can be found on our website.

On this episode of The AIE Podcast… We have floor tanking and other WoW noobs… um, news Happy Lifeday, AIE December, where the attendance is optional and the fun is mandatory LOTRO brings YULE Kingdoms of Harad And, join us for our last show of the year All that and more coming up right now… Podcast Audio Raw Video http://youtu.be/TZ8A0NVJjUM Open Welcome to episode #440 of the podcast celebrating you, the Alea Iacta Est gaming community, the die has been podcast. This is Tetsemi: To my left is Mewkow: – (catch phrase here). And to my right is Mkallah: (hey guys, there is leftover caramel apple pie in the guild kitchen). This week, we have a wrap up of what is going on for December in AIE and gaming in general. Ok, we'll be digging into what we have been up to shortly, but first, let's cover this week's news… AIE News Community Mandatory Fun Nights Where the fun is mandatory but the attendance is not. Sunday – Destiny 2 8:30 pm Eastern Monday – GW2 9:30 pm Eastern Monday – STO 10:00 pm Eastern Tuesday – SWTOR 9:00 pm Eastern Wednesday – HFO Mythic+ Mayhem (WoW) 8:00 pm Eastern Friday – ESO 9:00 pm Eastern Saturday – LotRO 8:30 pm Eastern Saturday – FFXIV (Maps) 9:30 pm Eastern Saturday – Noob Raid (WoW) 11:00 pm Eastern Streaming and Guild Podcast News We have a ton of AIE member podcasts! Want to know where to find them? Look no further than here- New Overlords Podcast (Max and Sema) https://www.newoverlords.com Boards and Swords (Chris and Philip) https://boardsandswords.com/blog?category=Boards%20%26%20Swords Dr. Gameology ( Dr. Daniel Kaufmann ) https://drgameology.com/ STO – Fleet Action Report (Grebog and Nikodas) https://www.youtube.com/@fleetactionreport A Podcast Reborn: A FFXIV Community Podcast (Brandon aka Old Man Franks, Meagan, and Rho) – NSFL https://www.bonusroll.gg/directory/a-podcast-reborn/ WoW Noob Raid is on winter break until January 3, 2026 so Dankinia can get a bit of relief from the horrible jokes the group likes to torment her with. During 2025, Dankinia demonstrated her floor tanking abilities 172 times. While she is out, Celindre will be leading Noob Raid – After Dark during the normal 11pm EST time slot each Saturday. In WoW, Midnight – the next expansion – has a release date of March 2nd with the pre-patch release on Jan 13. Anyone with an Epic Edition pre-order will have early access – expected Feb 27 according to WoWHead. Players with early access will also be able to use the new Player Housing feature as of Dec 2. This will be a bit complicated for AIE and our co-guilds, which are one of several ways to join “neighborhoods” for player housing. Every player’s Warband gets two houses – one Horde and one Alliance, but any alt can access either home. There will be open neighborhoods that are server wide, and Guilds can create private neighborhoods open to anyone in that guild. Groups of friends (such as Raid Teams) can also create charters for their own neighborhoods. We will have neighb orhoods for all the co-guilds (probably) but haven’t assigned which officer will be assigned to which yet. Currently, in addition to the Legion Remix event (speed leveling/transmog/mounts etc), the WoW Anniversary is active in Retail WoW, with a rep & xp boost. Visiting the Anniversary Celebration at the Caverns of Time will provide an additional buff. Rep is good – because it’s one of the ways to obtain decor for Player Housing. SWTOR SWTOR will see a holiday release of update 7.8 entitled “Pursuit of Ruin”. It will include a new story chapter, a new type of Dynamic Encounter, and a new stronghold (player housing). That’s not to mention Life Day festivities, with the snow balls and the wookiee hugging. Also, for the first year ever, we will be trying out a new guild event during the evenings between Christmas and New Years. Stay tuned to discord for more info on that! ESO MFN in ESO generally takes the month of December off, but expect to find a couple of people hanging out at the normal time on Friday nights though the holidays. Attendance will be sporadic but feel free to reach out if anyone would like company while running the holiday events in game. FFXIV Patch 7.4 comes December 16th. Main Scenario – Into the Mist Raid Dungeon – The Arcadion: Heavyweight Division Variant Dungeon – The Merchant’s Tale New Dungeon – Mistwake New Trial – Hell on Rails New Unreal Trial – Tsukuyomi’s Pain (Unreal) New Frontline Campaign – Worqor Chirteh Weapon Enhancement Quests – Phantom Weapons Inconceivably Further Hildibrand Adventures Manderville Gold Saucer GATE – Air Force One (The Cieldalaes) Cosmic Exploration: Oizys and Tool Enhancement Quests – Cosmic Tools Strategy Board – Raid explanations but better Glamour Update – Unlocked all types! New Theme Settings – Clear Green and Clear White Mac support (Ventura ends Jan 27, Tahoe now supported) Save 50% on Collector's Edition Digital Upgrades Until December 7 New ridiculous hotpot mount (It flies) And irregular tomestones are active now until 7.4 is live. Fanfest is happening where Blizzcon is normally, April 24/25th. Cookbook #2 is out! LOTRO New expansion “Kingdoms of Harad” as of right now is scheduled to be released on December 3rd. The instance cluster for the expansion is expected to be delayed, which means this gives a chance to level up to the new level cap and get a group together and look at it as a kinship. Also looking forward to the Yule Festival that starts on December 11th. Join us as we look to have fun in Frostbluff as well as protecting it in “The Battle of Frostbluff”. STO Yes, it’s true, Cryptic studios has once again been sold. However, this is not a time for doom and gloom. The new owners have no intentions of sunsetting STO. In fact, STO has simply returned to its original owners who want to see the game succeed. There are ongoing sales in both the Zen Store and Mudd’s Market. Some of these are as high as 50% off! Lifetime Subscriptions are 33% off until Dec 14th Q’s Winter Wonderland will be returning on Dec 9th. While we don’t have any specific details on what the rewards will be this year, it’s sure to be something you don’t want to miss! And with that, let's get to what we have been doing in and out of the game! And, Mkallah has a question for everyone! GAME NEWS Okay, friends! What geeky thing are you planning to give for the holidays, and are there any geeky gifts you hope to receive? CLOSE And that's our show for tonight.

The events of the Wars of the Roses caused many changes in England, but the impact upon the economic and political landscape of London, is often overlooked. This episode, we take a short break from the nobles, the King, the intrigues of the Houses of York and Lancaster, to just look at what was happening in London and on its streets at the time… and also how forces beyond anyones control, changes in population, in wealth distribution, in social mobility, and wider forces of economic changes across Europe, saw that the most political powerful of all the Guilds of London to date, the Grocers Company, stumbled, and then fell from the dominant position they had once held. This then examines why we feel we are passing out of the medieval world and into something new- a new world being born before our very eyes.

Rogers, now hailed as the Hero of the Pit and future Guildmaster, confronts the uncomfortable reality of his new position within the Craft Guild. During a tense meeting with the imprisoned Alard, he wrestles with his identity as a thief forced to lead a bureaucratic organization he barely understands. As the political landscape of Ness teeters between Karch's maneuvering and Polo's revenge, Rogers must decide if he can transform from a master of shadows into the stabilizing force the city desperately needs.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-thieves-guild--6141933/support.Some secrets are worth dying for.

Sheilagh Ogilvie has spent decades examining the institutional structures that shaped European economic history, challenging conventional wisdom about everything from guilds to marriage patterns. In her conversation with Tyler, she reveals how studying pandemic responses from the Black Death to COVID-19 provides a unique lens for understanding deeper truths about institutional effectiveness and social constraints. Tyler and Sheilagh discuss the economic impacts of historical pandemics, the "happy story" of the Black Death and why it doesn't stand up to scrutiny, the history of variolation and how entrepreneurs created vaccination franchises in 18th-century England, why local communities typically managed epidemics better than central authorities, the dastardly nature of medieval guilds, the European marriage pattern and its disputed contribution to economic growth, when sustained economic growth truly began in England, why the Dutch Republic stagnated despite its early success, whether she agrees with Greg Clark's social mobility hypothesis, her experience and conducting "anthropological fieldwork" on English social customs, the communitarian norms she encountered while living in Germany, her upcoming research project on European serfdom, and more.
