Today on the Run Culture Podcast I had the privilege to chat with Scott Simmons a professional running coach of the American Distance Project, the US Army World Class Athlete Program and Team India, based in Colorado Springs, USA. Scott has over 30 years of coaching experience! He shared so many incredible stories and insights about training and coaching Olympians, Olympic Medalists and collegiate athletes. It felt like having a casual chat on my couch, asking all the questions I've always wanted to know! I can't wait for you all to listen and learn from his wisdom and stories. Topics covered include:-The importance of Speed development and always developing the aerobic house.-Non linear periodisation.-The myth of peaking/tapering.-Key training principles: Specificity, overload, recovery, adaptation, progression.-‘Harambee'- Swahili for ‘all pull together' This is the official motto of Kenya, appearing on its coat of arms.-Take a step back from time to time and reflect if running is making you a ‘Better human'?-The importance of Self belief and taking a bet on yourself.-How the environment, people, traditions, culture and embedded beliefs can influence performance.-Training is as much about training one's ability/skill to cope with pain as it is about improving one's fitness.-What's a Hammer rep or Predator Tempo?-Improving as a coach/athlete requires time and space to make mistakes to learn. These are the required steps to grow to get better.Thanks once again Scott. Merry Christmas everyone, I hope you enjoy this listen and the festive season!

Winner of 7 Book Awards in Literary Fiction - Included in the Prize-Winning Literary Fiction Series from LaPuerta Books and MediaIntrigue on the white sands of the Indian Ocean. From the award-winning author of Clifford's Spiral. A lonely widower from Los Angeles buys a tour package to East Africa on the promise of hookups and parties. What he finds instead are new reasons to live. Aldo Barbieri, a slick Italian tour operator, convinces Harry to join a group of adventuresome “voluntourists.” In a resort town on the Indian Ocean, Harry doesn't find the promised excitement with local ladies. But in the supermarket he meets Esther Mwemba, a demure widow who works as a bookkeeper. The attraction is strong and mutual, but Harry gets worried when he finds out that Esther and Aldo have a history. They introduce him to Victor Skebelsky, rumored to be the meanest man in town. Skebelsky has a plan to convert his grand colonial home and residential compound into a rehab center – as a tax dodge. The scheme calls for Harry to head up the charity. He could live like a wealthy diplomat and it won't cost him a shilling! Harry has to come to terms with questions at the heart of his character: Is corruption a fact of life everywhere? Is all love transactional? Harry Harambee's Kenyan Sundowner is an emotional story of expat intrigue in Africa, reminiscent of The Heart of the Matter by Graham Greene and The Constant Gardener by John le Carré. Praise for Clifford's Spiral (Independent Press Awards 2020 Distinguished Favorite in Literary Fiction) We've seen and noted the comparison of this author by other reviewers to literary giants like Roth and Vonnegut. And we can't disagree. Yet we feel there may be yet another strata for Gerald Everett Jones, who arguably is doing the best work of his career. We predict that he lacks only a mention in the The New York Review of Books or, better yet, Oprah, to become a nationwide best-selling author. Five-plus stars to Clifford's Spiral, a true literary novel if ever there was one. We say in all seriousness that if you only read one novel this year, this should be it. - Don Sloan, Publishers Daily Reviews Preacher Finds a Corpse (NYC Big Book Awards 2020 Winner in Mystery, IPA 2020 Distinguished Favorite in Mystery, Eric Hoffer 2020 Finalist in Mystery) This is literature masquerading as a mystery. Carefully yet powerfully, Gerald Jones creates a small, stunning world in a tiny midwestern town, infusing each character with not just life but wit, charm, and occasionally menace. This is the kind of writing one expects from John Irving or Jane Smiley. - Marvin J. Wolf, author of the Rabbi Ben Mysteries, including A Scribe Dies in Brooklyn

Die Namibiese regering belowe reeds jare dat elke landsburger toegang sal hê tot toiletgeriewe. In die eerste Harambee-welvaartsplan het oudpresident Hage Geingob beloftes gemaak om die tekort teen 2017 uit te wis, wat weer herhaal en verleng is. Die jongste sensus-uitslae toon dat vordering uiters traag is. Teen 2020 het 47 persent van die bevolking steeds geen toegang tot toilette gehad nie. Daardie syfer staan nou op 40 persent. Die statistikus-generaal Alex Shimuafeni het die syfers vanoggend bekend gemaak.

L'Afrique du Sud ne parvient pas à trouver de réponse à la crise du chômage de masse qui la frappe. Le pays connaît l'un des taux de chômage parmi les plus élevés au monde, et selon les derniers chiffres disponibles, il a encore augmenté, entre avril et juin de cette année. De notre correspondante à Johannesburg,Désormais, 33,5 % de la population active est sans emploi. Ce taux grimpe même jusqu'à 42,6 % si l'on prend la définition plus étendue qui inclut ceux qui ont abandonné toute recherche. Nikelwa, 27 ans, a terminé sa formation de commise de cuisine il y a six mois. Depuis, sa recherche intensive de travail n'a rien donné. « Quand je postule à des offres, on me dit avoir besoin de personnes avec de l'expérience, donc il n'y a pas d'opportunités », témoigne-t-elle. Elle s'inquiète de ne pas réussir à trouver un emploi rapidement : « J'ai un fils, et tout cela est très frustrant, car il grandit, je ne sais pas comment il va pouvoir aller à l'école. » Par dépit, elle veut désormais tenter autre chose, en suivant une formation en production audiovisuelle à Soweto.Les chiffres du chômage, en Afrique du Sud, viennent de connaître une troisième hausse consécutive et leur plus haut niveau depuis deux ans. Plusieurs facteurs peuvent l'expliquer. « On sait que l'éducation continue d'être un facteur : moins il y a de niveau d'études, plus il y a de risques de chômage. Les jeunes sont aussi davantage touchés, car ils ont moins d'expérience sur le marché du travail, explique Ariane De Lannoy de l'Unité de recherche sur le travail et le développement en Afrique australe (Saldru) de l'université du Cap. Mais, bien sûr, à un niveau macroéconomique, on a surtout une situation où l'économie ne progresse pas assez pour encourager la création d'emplois, et même quand il y a de la croissance, elle n'est pas inclusive. »Et une fois par mois, retrouvez les conseils aux jeunes diplômés dans 8 milliards de voisins.Des couches sociales différemment concernéesLe FMI prévoit une croissance inférieure à 1 % pour 2024. De plus, les très fortes inégalités au sein du pays ont des conséquences lorsqu'il s'agit de trouver un emploi. Sharmi Surianarain peut en témoigner, elle qui travaille pour Harambee, une organisation qui tente d'aider les jeunes dans leur recherche. « Cela implique du temps et de l'argent, pour payer par exemple les données mobiles sur le téléphone. Il y a aussi une exclusion géographique, car beaucoup de jeunes vivent loin des zones où se trouvent les emplois », a-t-elle pu constater. Les barrières se posent également en termes de genre lorsqu'il s'agit de trouver du temps et de l'argent pour chercher du travail. « Et même quand ils décrochent quelque chose, c'est très souvent un contrat temporaire, sans oublier l'existence d'un écart de rémunération entre les sexes », poursuit-elle.Résultat : des segments de la société sont davantage à risque d'être touchés par le chômage. « Dans les recherches que l'on mène auprès de jeunes sans éducation, emploi, ou formation, on observe qu'ils ont plus de chances de se retrouver dans cette situation s'ils sont noirs, de sexe féminin, s'ils résident dans un foyer où il y a des enfants de moins de 7 ans, et vivent en dessous du seuil de pauvreté », souligne la chercheuse Ariane De Lannoy.Le parti de l'ANC a réagi après la publication de ces chiffres en déclarant ne pas se concentrer sur des fluctuations par trimestre, pour travailler sur une « plus longue période ».À lire aussi Employabilité en Afrique : le défi des diplômés chômeurs

Graham Hopwood, die direkteur van die Instituut vir Openbare Beleidsnavorsing, vra al lank dat die regering by die Onttrekkingsbedryf-deursigtigheidsinisiatief moet aansluit, veral in die lig van die olie- en gas-ontdekkings. Die voorneme om by die inisiatief aan te sluit is ook in die tweede Harambee welvaartsplan. Desnieteenstaande was Hopwood by die olie- en gaskonferensie positief oor die verskil tussen Namibië en ander lande wanneer dit kom by die aanvaarding van wetgewende beleid.

Landswye konsultasies vir die inwerkingstelling van die Namibië Ontwikkelingsplan 6, of NDP6, is onlangs voltooi. Die plan sal vir ses jaar geldig wees en sal die laaste wees. Die konsultasies is gelei deur die Nasionale Beplanningskommissie, NPC. Die plan is ingestel om die Visie 2030-doelwitte te bereik, aangesien dit onder die Harambee-voorspoedsplan val. Kosmos 94.1 Nuus het gepraat met Sylvester Mbangu, die hoof nasionale ontwikkelingsadviseur by die Nasionale Beplanningskommissie, oor die jongste verwikkelinge.

Eight years ago, local historian and writer John Gurda sat down with 88Nine to share stories from Milwaukee's neighborhoods. The idea for the series came after the release of Gurda's 2015 book, Milwaukee: City of Neighborhoods, which chronicles 37 contemporary portraits of Milwaukee's neighborhoods.With the weather warming and conditions ripe for exploring the city, we decided it was the ideal time to look back at this collection and share Gurda's very well-informed perspective on these well-known areas of Milwaukee. After starting on the south end of town, this episode finds us moving north.North MilwaukeeAlthough this neighborhood borrows the name of our fair city, its history is rooted in independence. In fact, it's one of just two Milwaukee neighborhoods (Bayview is the other) that were once independent suburbs.Both of those areas have industrial foundations, with North Milwaukee's clustered around the intersection of two railroad lines: one going to Minneapolis and the other to Green Bay. This crossing defined the neighborhood and is still visible in a map of its rectangular setup, with a big iron “X” running through it. The transportation benefit had people moving from other parts of town to the newly established North Milwaukee, which remained independent from 1918 to 1929.HarambeeThis long, narrow neighborhood stretches from North Avenue to Capitol Drive and I-43 to Holston Street. While its name comes from the Swahili word that means “pulling together,” neither the name nor its cultural heritage were present in the early days. Instead — like many parts of Milwaukee — it was originally settled by Germans in the mid-1800s.More than a century later, the neighborhood became an epicenter for civil rights in the 1960s and 1970s, fighting against institutional racism such as segregation in schools and housing. Around that time that, it officially adopted the name “Harambee” and remains a stronghold of Black culture and commerce in Milwaukee.

How might a young person's future look different with exposure to and training in the arts? This is the proposition at the heart of the mission of Milwaukee Youth Arts Center. In this episode of Creative MKE, Elisabeth speaks with Chad Tessmer, the Executive Director at MYAC. They discuss how equitable engagement in the arts has a measurable positive impact on young people's development—and on their entire lives. Located at the corner of Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive and Walnut Street, MYAC is at the intersection of several Milwaukee neighborhoods including Halyard Park, Brewer's Hill, Harambee, Schlitz Park, and The Deer District. Since its founding in 2005, the space has served as a home to First Stage and Milwaukee Youth Symphony Orchestra, as well as many other local arts organizations. While MYAC is not in the business of trying to “turn every student into a performer at Carnegie Hall,” the organization seeks to give young people means to explore their voices and express themselves artistically in a safe, inclusive and professional environment. And because the employees at MYAC are creatives themselves (some of them alumni!), they believe in the promise and purpose of the institution, and “pay it forward” every day by shaping high quality and equitable access to transformative arts experiences. As the organization evolves, MYAC seeks new ways to engage with young artists across their developmental trajectories in to support their creative professional development.

Janus Adams and Africa Miranda visit Friends and discuss how segregation in education still remain, the lack of school funding in New York City, Brown Vs. Board Of Education and more with host Marina Franklin.   Africa Miranda - In the span of her 15-year career, Africa Miranda has been an actress, a model, a host, an author, a beautypreneur and a digital personality. Most importantly, she's been a student of life. As the face and spokesperson for brands like Refinery 29, Macy's, TJ Maxx and Kia Motors Africa had the opportunity to travel and see the world. Traveling taught her who she is and fueled the creative passions that allowed her to connect with and empower women everywhere. Boston-born and Alabama-raised, Africa grew up wondering what the world outside her backyard looked like. As a graduate of Alabama State University, she learned to bring the world to her using education and creative expression. This wonderment flourished into a deeply-rooted desire to travel the world. From Seoul to the South of France, Africa's life didn't truly begin until she left the comfort of the things she knew. Travel taught her the magic of losing yourself right before you find yourself. In 2016, Africa launched her skincare line, Beauty by Africa Miranda to commemorate the incredible experiences she has on her travels and share them with you. From her ultra-hydrating Luminous Body Mist,  inspired by the French Riviera to her aloe vera-rich Hydra Essence Complexion Mist which is a love letter to her time in Curaçao – the highly-praised product line takes your skin on an incredible journey around the globe. Africa's skincare line and media brand has garnered acclaim from publications like EBONY.com, Essence.com, BET.com, Yahoo Lifestyle, Rolling Out, Vanity Fair and Womensweardaily.com. Her growing following on Instagram and Twitter allows Africa to connect with thousands of women all over the world. With such a successful and active career, over the years Africa received a swell of questions about navigating life as a public figure and personal brand. Her inbox full of career questions lead to the release of her 2018 book, Step Up, Step Out and Shine. Through its pages, Africa teaches readers  how to leverage social media to create their own global brands. Africa's most recent adventure, in partnership with Facebook Watch, was the opportunity to host and executive produce her very own show – The Africa Miranda Show. Here, she invites her viewers to join in as she chats with a few favorite friends and some incredible creators. They touch on topics about everything from beauty and travel to paving a career path that suits your passion. Dedicated to empowering other women to step intentionally into the media space – Africa is helping a new generation of creators reach their highest potential through her media workshop, Media Mastery Workshop and training course Shine Media Training.

A dynamic speaker and passionate storyteller, she is known for her unique perspectives on current events through the lens of history.

In this installment of Ken's TRUTH QUEST series,  we continue to relive the Civil Rights Tour of the South. Dr. John Perkins, author of 17 books, founder of Voice of Calvary and Harambee, and Christian activist in the Civil Rights movement welcomes our thirty-nine travelers in Jackson Mississippi. At age 92, he brings a Sunday morning message, entertains questions, and signs books. The bus goes to downtown Jackson to the Masonic Temple, headquarters for the Mississippi NAACP, SNCC, and SCLC. The group is welcomed by a group of senior citizens who were active in the Civil Rights Movement in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. They are, each one, "Living Legends." The following morning, the group arrives at the Emmett Till Intrepid Center in Money, Mississippi, a memorial to young Emmett Till who was brutally murdered and became an icon of the movement. Fourteen of the thirty-nine travelers share their reflections, ending with a beautiful dinner at the home of Albert Tate's (Founding Pastor of Fellowship Monrovia) mother.  SHOW NOTESMeet our contributors.Listen to the entire series - TRUTH QUEST: Exploring the History of Race in America - in their own words.Support the show

Janus Adams and Africa Miranda visit Friends and discuss how segregation in education still remain, the lack of school funding in New York City, Brown Vs. Board Of Education and more with host Marina Franklin.   Africa Miranda - In the span of her 15-year career, Africa Miranda has been an actress, a model, a host, an author, a beautypreneur and a digital personality. Most importantly, she's been a student of life. As the face and spokesperson for brands like Refinery 29, Macy's, TJ Maxx and Kia Motors Africa had the opportunity to travel and see the world. Traveling taught her who she is and fueled the creative passions that allowed her to connect with and empower women everywhere. Boston-born and Alabama-raised, Africa grew up wondering what the world outside her backyard looked like. As a graduate of Alabama State University, she learned to bring the world to her using education and creative expression. This wonderment flourished into a deeply-rooted desire to travel the world. From Seoul to the South of France, Africa's life didn't truly begin until she left the comfort of the things she knew. Travel taught her the magic of losing yourself right before you find yourself. In 2016, Africa launched her skincare line, Beauty by Africa Miranda to commemorate the incredible experiences she has on her travels and share them with you. From her ultra-hydrating Luminous Body Mist,  inspired by the French Riviera to her aloe vera-rich Hydra Essence Complexion Mist which is a love letter to her time in Curaçao – the highly-praised product line takes your skin on an incredible journey around the globe. Africa's skincare line and media brand has garnered acclaim from publications like EBONY.com, Essence.com, BET.com, Yahoo Lifestyle, Rolling Out, Vanity Fair and Womensweardaily.com. Her growing following on Instagram and Twitter allows Africa to connect with thousands of women all over the world. With such a successful and active career, over the years Africa received a swell of questions about navigating life as a public figure and personal brand. Her inbox full of career questions lead to the release of her 2018 book, Step Up, Step Out and Shine. Through its pages, Africa teaches readers  how to leverage social media to create their own global brands. Africa's most recent adventure, in partnership with Facebook Watch, was the opportunity to host and executive produce her very own show – The Africa Miranda Show. Here, she invites her viewers to join in as she chats with a few favorite friends and some incredible creators. They touch on topics about everything from beauty and travel to paving a career path that suits your passion. Dedicated to empowering other women to step intentionally into the media space – Africa is helping a new generation of creators reach their highest potential through her media workshop, Media Mastery Workshop and training course Shine Media Training.
