Pioneer Agronomy: Indiana
Waterhemp Management For Soybean Growers

The first year Nick Hedden started helping growers manage water hemp was 2016. It hasn't taken long for a variety of products to lose their effectiveness.“It's definitely been a challenge,” says Hedden, who is an agronomist with Pioneer in Western Indiana. “Water hemp has between 6-8 chemical class resistances. We've got to be thorough, and have a good action plan for 20205 water hemp management.” During this episode of the Pioneer Indiana Agronomy Podcast, Hedden talks with hosts Carl Joern and Brian Shrader. Hededen's advice is to have multiple, very strong modes of action. There is no silver bullet, but there are some new options.  He recommends starting with an excellent pre-emergence product to control water hemp before it breaks through the ground.“After emergence, we are seeing effectiveness with Enlist and Liberty mixed,” Hedden says. “This is what I'd recommend if you've got some really heavy water hemp pressure.”Corteva also has a new product called Kyber® Pro that could be effective.More about Kyber® Pro: https://www.corteva.us/products-and-solutions/crop-protection/kyber-pro.html

What happens when the iconic Jason Voorhees leaves the eerie woods of Crystal Lake and hits the bustling streets of New York City? Join us on Screams & Streams as we uncover the wild ride that is "Friday the 13th, Part 8: Jason Takes Manhattan." With only an 11% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, this film is bewilderingly beloved and reviled. Chad kicks things off with a plot summary that reveals how our favorite hockey-masked villain ends up stalking a ship of clueless high school grads before unleashing his terror on the Big Apple. We sip on Manhattans while chatting about why this film is both a guilty pleasure and a cinematic misstep.Through our lively conversation, Mike shares stories of his junior high fascination with Jason, while Sam questions if Manhattan took more from Jason than he did from it. We ponder the movie's place within the "Friday the 13th" series, debating whether its descent into silliness adds to or detracts from its charm. For horror aficionados and casual fans alike, this episode offers a humorous, nostalgic, and critical look at how "Jason Takes Manhattan" tried to redefine a franchise—and how it might have missed the mark. Grab your sinister sip and join us for a fun-filled analysis of this infamous chapter in horror history! Head to www.screamsandstreams.com for more information related to our episode.

This is called the service recovery paradox. Customers feel more positive about a company after an issue is resolved than before there was an issue at all.-------------------“I think that the best customer experience when you're engaging with a brand is generally one that is as frictionless as possible.

Years later, a New York court agreed with him.  My name's… D&D Stats Explained With Tomatoes Strength is being able to crush a tomato. Dexterity is being able to dodge a tomato. Constitution is being able to eat a bad tomato. Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad. Charisma is being able to sell a tomato based fruit salad.   TOMATOES So that's more clear, but it raises a rather mad –and for some, maddening– question: Is the tomato a fruit or a vegetable?  Well, yes, it's both, but actually no.  Botanically, it's a fruit. But legally, it's not.  A fruit is technically the seed-bearing structure of a plant whereas a vegetable can be virtually any part of the plant we eat.     Things must have been slow in March of 1893, because this definition was set by the Supreme Court.  The issue at hand was tariffs, specifically a 10% tariff on the import of vegetables into the United States.  Just veggies.  Imported fruits were not.  This was of particular interest to John Nix of Manhattan.  He ran a produce wholesale business along with his four sons and found himself the proud owner of an enormous tax bill on a shipment of Caribbean tomatoes.  John Nix & Co. were one of the largest sellers of produce in New York City at the time, and one of the first companies to bring the Empire state produce from such far-flung places as Florida and Bermuda.  Nix disputed the tax on the grounds that tomatoes were scientifically-supportably fruit.  Full of seeds, ain't they?  That's the part that seems to turn grown adults into fussy toddlers when their burger has a tomato despite their very clear instructions.  Worse than the anti-pickle crowd.  Anyway, Nix filed a suit against Edward L. Hedden, Collector of the Port of New York, to get back the tax money he'd been forced to pay under protest.    The crux of Nix's case was the opening of an uninspired speech -  counsel read the definitions of the words "fruit," "vegetables," and tomato from Webster's Dictionary, Worcester's Dictionary, and the Imperial Dictionary.  Judgment for the plaintiff, case closed!  But wait, there's more.  Not to be outdone, defendant's counsel then read into evidence the Webster's definitions of the words pea, eggplant, cucumber, squash, and pepper.  Oh, it's on now! Countering this, the plaintiff then read in the definitions of potato, turnip, parsnip, cauliflower, cabbage, carrot and bean.  That's when, I assume, all hell broke loose in the courtroom and perhaps a giant musical number broke out.  Just trying to jazz it up a bit.  Nix's side called two witnesses, not botanists or linguists, but men with a lot of years in the fruit & veg business, to say whether these words had "any special meaning in trade or commerce, different from those read."   The supreme court decided to look more practically and less pedantically at the situation and ruled that it's how a tomato is used that makes it a vegetable, not the official scientific definition.  If people cook and eat them like vegetables, then vegetables they must be, and so they were subject to the tariff.  “Botanically speaking, tomatoes are the fruit of a vine, just as are cucumbers, squashes, beans, and peas,” wrote Justice Horace Gray in his 1893 opinion. “But in the common language of the people, whether sellers or consumers of provisions, all these are vegetables.”     What was really important about Nix's case was the timing.  We're talking late Victorian, after the age of sail had been obviated by the steam power of the industrial revolution.  You might have heard about it, it was in all the papers.  Ships could now cross the Atlantic in 1-2 weeks, rather than the 6-12 weeks it took in a century prior.  Foods from the tropics could now reach New England in a week or less, making their import a viable option.  This was when bananas went from being expensive oddity to must-have trend to staple of every grocery store, though that was the Gros Michelle banana, the one our fake banana flavor is based on, not the Cavendish banana we eat today, but that's a topic for another show.  To service the evolving tastes of urban population, a new class of national wholesalers, such as the Nixes, were born.   The tomato's identity crisis was far from settled, though.  In 1937, the League of Nations, precursor to the UN, sought to classify various goods for the purpose of tariffs and they too labeled tomatoes a veggie, putting them under the heading of “vegetables / edible plants / roots and tubers.”  Not to be left out, the U.S. Department of Agriculture agreed, citing 1890s Nix v. Hedden case.    But there are always exceptions, hold-outs, outliers, and just plain contrarians.  Tennessee and Ohio made the tomato their state fruit.  If you think that's silly, you might want to swallow your coffee before I tell you the state vegetable of Oklahoma is the watermelon.  I did not care to look into their reasoning.  The European Union went a step further with a directive in December 2001 classifying tomatoes as fruit — along with rhubarb, carrots, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins and melons.  It's bad enough all prepackaged fruit bowls have some form of melon in them (which causes me instantaneous reverse peristalsis), but it you gave me a fruit salad and it had cucumbers in it, I have a parking lot and I'll fight you in it.   But I think I'll give the last word to George Ball of the Burpee's seed and plant company: “Are [tomatoes] fruits? Of course,” he said. “Are they vegetables? You bet.”  Though Burpee's does put “vegetable” on the seed packet, so maybe it's not settled after all. JAFFA CAKES Maybe things that grow are too ephemeral for man's taxonomy.  Things are a lot of simpler when we're talking about man-made goods, things that don't grow on trees, and it is only a tragedy that you can't plant an entire orchard of Jaffa cake trees.  For those whose life has not yet contained this job, a Jaffa cake it a little round of dense yellow cake –sponge, as they say in the home counties– with a disc of orange jelly on top enrobed in chocolate.  It.  Is.  So. Good.  You can sometimes find them in big grocery stores like Kroger and Publix if they have a large enough “International” aisle stock Branston pickle along with pad thai sauce and Tajin.   This issue here it again taxes, but this time VAT.  For those that don't speak British, VAT or  Value-Added Tax is “A type of consumption tax that is placed on a product whenever value is added at a stage of production and at final sale.”  Basically sales tax cranked to 11.  VAT is a tax that is paid by everyone involved with the manufacture of a given object or foodstuff, as well as the consumer.  As I go to air, the VAT rate in the UK is 20%.  If you're a UK-based widget-maker, you pay VAT on the price of the raw materials.  When you sell the widgets wholesale to a store, the retailer pays VAT on that sale.  Then, when someone comes into the shop to buy one of your cutting-edge widgets, they pay VAT too.       As with most areas of life, there are exceptions –  a number of things are subjected to a reduced 5% rate and some things are exempt altogether.  The exceptions are for the really necessary things, like mobility aids, menstrual hygiene products, stamps, end of life care, and most food, including cake.  That's some grade A foreshadowing right there.  But some foods are just so wonderful, they absolutely must be taxed and taxed fully.  Such luxury items include alcohol, mineral water, confectioneries and, with the specificity that all governments seem to love, chocolate-covered biscuits.  Regular biscuits are apparently basic essentials.  No, American listeners, not like buttermilk biscuits, because even I'd have to think twice about covering one of those in chocolate.  Whereupon I would do it.  I could make that work.  You're talking to the chick that made a startling good roasted garlic and parmesan ice cream.  No, British biscuits are cookies.  And British listeners, don't at me on soc meds with the definition of biscuit, because you know you're not consistent with it.  The only word that's more confusing is pudding.  Is that a dessert course, a sausage made of 80% blood, a flambeed Christmas dessert, or a suet dough stuffed with beef and veggies and steamed for eight hours?  While I'm on British language, Cockney rhyming slang has got to be the worst thing…   The McVities company had a notion otherwise.  They appealed, prompting a Customs and Exchange VAT tribunal.  Jaffa cakes, they said, shouldn't be taxed at the “most food” 20% rate, but at the 5% rate of chocolate-covered biscuits.  It takes a lot of brass to make that claim when you yourself named the product Jaffa *cakes. [tiktok] origin story] According to the website for Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, the court first had to establish a legal definition of what made a cake a cake and what makes a biscuit a biscuit, before determining which column Jaffa Cakes belonged in.  Jaffa Cakes were assessed using the following criteria: The product name, ingredients, texture, structure of the product, the size, how the product is sold, and how the product is marketed.   Towards this end, the main arguments on behalf of the office of Customs and Excise were that Jaffa Cakes are the approximate size and shape of biscuits, are stocked on the shelves with the biscuits, and, owing in no small part to McVities' own marketing, people eat them in the sort of contexts biscuit are eaten.    McVities countered by stating that Jaffa Cakes are baked in the manner of cake and of the same base ingredients.  Their master stroke was staleness – cakes go hard as they stale and biscuits go soft.  When Jaffa cakes go stale, and it's hard to imagine them sitting there long enough, they go hard.  McVities actually let a bunch of them out to go stale and brouhght them into court as evidence.  And in a legal tactic I'd like to see more often, McVities baked a big ol' 12-inch version of a Jaffa Cake, to show that if you blew it up to the size of a normal cake, it would just be a cake.    If I were on the other side of it, I might make a big deal over the name, but the judge presiding over the case, Mr D.C Potter, ruled that to be of “no serious relevance” because a product's name often has little to do with its actual function.  In the end, the court decided the Jaffa Cake was, in fact, a cake, and the Irish Revenue Commissioners agreed, though their ruling was based on the Jaffa Cakes' moisture content being greater than 12%.  So no VAT on Jaffa cakes, which means we can buy more of them, hooray!   HYDROX VS OREO In 1882, the entrepreneur Jacob Loose bought a biscuit and candy company that would eventually be known as Sunshine Biscuits, the company that would eventually give us Cheez-its, which my ex-husband went through at least a box of a week, dipping in port wine cheese spread.  About as close as he ever got to a balanced diet.  In 1908, launched the cream-filled chocolate sandwich biscuit known as Hydrox.  The name, he thought, would be reminiscent of sparkling sunlight and evoked an impression of cleanliness (probably because it sounds like a disinfectant).  This was after all only a few years after the Pure Food and Drug Act, before which your canned veggies might be full of borax and your milk be a watered down concoction of chalk dust and cow brains, and you wouldn't know.  Some tellings have it that Hydrox is a portmanteau of hydrogen and oxygen, the elements that make up water, the gold standard of purity.  Meanings aside, the fact that there actually was a Hydrox Chemical Company in business at the time, one that sold hydrogen peroxide and was caught up in a trademark lawsuit at the time over the use of the word “hydrox,” should have given them a hint to maybe go back to committee.  Hydrox chemicals lawsuit, btw, pointed out that the word “hydrox” was already in use for such disparate things as coolers, soda, and ice cream, so maybe Jacob Loose figured the word is out there, might as well use it.   For four years, Hydrox cookies with their lovely embossed flower design made cash registers ring for Sunshine Biscuits.  Then, 90 years almost to the day of this episode dropping, the National Biscuit Company came along –you probably know them by their shortened name, Nabisco– with the launch of three different cookies, the Mother Goose biscuit, the Veronese biscuit, both now lost to history, and the Oreo.  The cookies were very similar, with Oreos even being embossed by the same time of production machine, but Hydrox have a sweeter filling and less-sweet cookie.  Like VHS vs beta, which you can learn more about in the book and audiobook, the newcomer soon came to dominate the landscape, and there's no clear reason why.  Any chocolate sandwich biscuit is offhandedly called an Oreo, no matter how cheap a replica it may be.  It's literally the best-selling cookie in the world now, with $3.28 billion in sales in the U.S. alone.  They sell 92 million cookies per day throughout 100-plus countries under the parent brand Mondelez International.  That ubiquity has led a lot of people to erroneously assume that Oreo is the original and Hydrox is the Mr. Pibb to their Dr. Pepper.  Hydrox did manage to hold onto a cadre of die-hards, especially in areas with significant Jewish populations, because Hydrox were always kosher.  Oreo cream used to be made with lard from pigs and Nabisco would later have to invest a lot of resources into replacing the lard with shortening in the 90's.     Sunshine Biscuits was purchased by Keebler in 1996, who replaced Hydrox with a reformulated product called "Droxies," which 100% sounds like drug slang for a veterinary tranquilizer.  Keebler was acquired by Kellogg's in 2001, and Kellogg's yanked Droxies from the shelves before adding a similar chocolate sandwich cookie to the Famous Amos brand, then discontinued them.  In August 2008, on the cookie's 100th anniversary, Kellogg's resumed distribution of Hydrox under the Sunshine label, a limited distribution, one and done.  Hydrox-heads besieged Kellogg's with phone calls and an online petition, asking that Hydrox be brought back for good, but all for naught.  Less than a year later Kellogg's had removed Hydrox from their website.  “This is a dark time in cookie history,” one Hydrox partisan, Gary Nadeau, wrote, according to the Wall Street Journal. “And for those of you who say, ‘Get over it, it's only a cookie,‘ you have not lived until you have tasted a Hydrox.”  As of the time of writing, I've never had one myself, but I'll see if I can't lay my hands on some before going to air.   Getting my hands on some may be a touch trickier than it should be.  They exist; that's not the issue.  In 2015, entrepreneur Ellia Kassoff, a lover of Hydrox who knew the trick to getting a trademark someone else had allowed to lapse, was able to pick up Hydrox for his own company, Leaf Brands—itself a dormant brand that Kassoff had revived.  Hip to the time, Leaf Brands made Hydrox available on Amazon, so anyone anywhere could get them whenever they wanted (plus two days for delivery).  These new Hydrox weren't going to bow gracefully to the dominant Oreo.  Their website points out that they use real cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup, and no hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors, and GMOs, and warn consumers, "don't eat a knock-off!"  Hydrox are also made in the USA while Mondelez International was laying off U.S. workers.  Sales of Hydrox grew by 2,406 percent from 2016 to 2017, amassing more than $492,000 in sales — clearly, still light-years away from Oreo's overwhelming dominance in the market, but impressive progress nonetheless.   If you ask Leaf Brands, they'd be doing a lot better if not for Mondelez – not out-competing them, deliberately sabotaging them.  This is the hard-to-find bit I alluded to.  In August 2018, Leaf Brands filed a lawsuit against Mondelez International, seeking $800 million in damages because of "lost sales and reputation.”  The charges claimed that Mondelez was using its massive industry muscle "to place their own products in favorable locations in stores and move competitors in less desirable positions on store shelves."  On their Facebook page, you can see pictures of grocery stores where Hydrox cookies are hidden behind other displays, scooted to the back of shelves, and even turned sideways so the short end is facing out.  If you've never worked grocery retail, your instinct may be to blame the store staff, but a lot of brands are actually stocked by the manufacturer.  Ever pass a guy in a Pepsi polo shirt with hand-truck loaded with soda?  That, but with cookies.  And it's not just their own products.  Mondelez is what's called a “category captain,” meaning they get to determine much of the layout for the whole cookie aisle.  Leaf alleges that Mondelez employees and agents are deliberately making Hydrox harder to find while making Oreos pert near impossible to miss.   This is far from the first lawsuit over Oreos.  A class action lawsuit was filed claiming the cookies misled buyers by stating that the product contains real cocoa.  The judge dismissed the case.  And they were sued for Fudge Covered Mint Oreos not containing any actual fudge.  The plaintiffs claim that these cookies don't contain any milkfat from dairy, a key component of fudge, but rather cheaper palm and palm kernel oil.  As so often happens, there are eleventy-hundred articles from the week the case was filed and nothing on the outcome.  That's what happened with the main point of this article.  I was dead sure I remembered Hydrox and Oreo going to court over the basic infringement question, and Hydrox losing, but I couldn't turn up anything on that because of the sabotage lawsuit sucking up all the search results.   X-MEN It's not all foodie fact fun today.  I'm going to risk a copyright strike to play 15 seconds of a song that will make everyone near me in age go “aw yeah!” [sfx Xmen theme]  For the young or those who had social lives in high school, that's the theme song to the 90's Xmen cartoon, and it slaps, as they kids used to say.  For the truly uninitiated, and c'mon even my mom knows who the Xmen are, the story centers on a group of superheroes who get their powers from genetic mutations…and government experiments, time travel, by dint of being aliens – it's a comic book, what do you want.   Ever since their introduction to the Marvel Universe in 1963, the X-Men have always had to deal with questions about their humanity.  While their enemies will stop at nothing to cast them as monsters, the team continues to fight for a world where they are treated just like humans.  That's in-universe.  In the broader reality, it's actually in the X-Men's best interest not to be considered humans.  Well, Marvel comics financial bottom line, anyway, and they went to court over it.   In 1993, international trade lawyers Sherry Singer and Indie Singh found an interesting provision in a book of federal tariff classifications – “dolls” are taxed at 12% on import while “toys” are only taxed 6.8%.  The devil is in the details, or in this case, the definition.  A “toy” can be any shape, representing any thing, but a "doll" can only be a representation of a human being, like Barbie or GI Joe.  [tik tok Joe's thumbnail]  Singer and Singh knew this distinction could be a sizable financial benefit for their client, Marvel Entertainment, who had an ownership stake in ToyBiz at the time.  For years, Marvel had been importing action figures that were taxed as dolls, despite their wide panoply of brightly colored characters often being anything but human.  Taking a direct approach, the two lawyers gathered up a literal bag full of action figures and went to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection headquarters in Washington, D.C. to try and convince them that Marvel wasn't importing humanlike “dolls,” but instead very non-human “toys.”   The Customs staff's reaction to the bag of toys is not recorded, but their official response was that the “non-human characteristics” of the X-Men and other action figures “fall far short of transforming [these figures] into something other than the human beings which they represent.”  Singer and Singh were locked onto this tactic and pursued it for a decade.  A judge considered various figures from Marvel's whole line to decide whether or not individual characters were human or not.  Rippling pecs, long claws, blue skin, red eyes, all were scrutinized, as lawyers on both sides expostulated on the philosophical ramifications of what it means to be human.  How can these action figures be human if they have "tentacles, claws, wings, or robotic limbs?"     I'd loved to have been there to hear people with expensive educations in tailored suits, stand before a learned jurist in a wood-paneled courtroom and say things like,  "The figure of 'Kingpin' resembles a man in a suit carrying a staff. Nothing in the storyline indicates that Kingpin possesses superhuman powers.  Yet, Kingpin is known to have exceedingly great strength (however 'naturally' achieved) and the figure itself has a large and stout body with a disproportionately small head and disproportionately large hands. Even though 'dolls' can be caricatures of human beings, the court is of the opinion that the freakishness of the figure's appearance coupled with the fabled 'Spider-Man' storyline to which it belongs does not warrant a finding that the figure represents a human being."   In 2003, Judge Judith Barzilay ruled that Marvel characters aren't quite human enough to taxed as dolls.  “They are more than (or different than) humans. These fabulous characters use their extraordinary and unnatural physical and psychic powers on the side of either good or evil. The figures' shapes and features, as well as their costumes and accessories, are designed to communicate such powers."   Yay, a victory for the giant multimillion dollar corporation!  But a slap in the face for diehard X-Men fans.  Chuck Austen, one of the writers for Uncanny X-Men at the time, said his whole goal in the story was to show the team's humanity.  The nerds grew restless and Marvel had to issue a statement that read, "Don't fret, Marvel fans, our heroes are living, breathing human beings—but humans who have extraordinary abilities ... A decision that the X-Men figures indeed do have 'nonhuman' characteristics further proves our characters have special, out-of-this world powers." And that's… To protect the public from contaminated oil, New York State law required that all fish oil be gauged, inspected and branded, with a penalty of $25 per barrel on those who failed to comply.  Samuel Judd purchased three barrels of whale oil that had not been inspected, and James Maurice, a fish oil inspector, sought to collect the penalty from him.  Judd pleaded that the barrels contained whale oil, not fish oil, and so were not subject to the fish oil legislation. At trial, one side said the term "fish oil" was commonly understood to include whale oil, and the other side plead the obvious science that whales are mammals.  The jury deliberated for 15 minutes and returned a verdict in favor of the fish oil inspector.    Mr. Judd, dissatisfied with the verdict, moved for a new trial. By then, the Legislature was in session and the Recorder, knowing that a new fish oil bill was pending, delayed his decision on the motion. The new enactment limited the inspection to fish liver oil, and the Recorder took the view that this implicitly confirmed that the earlier legislation covered whale oil. Accordingly, he refused to grant Judd's motion for a new trial.   James Maurice resigned his position as fish oil inspector because he considered that the position under the new law had too little value or importance.     Sources: https://www.constantpodcast.com/episodes/are-whales-fish https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2013/12/26/256586055/when-the-supreme-court-decided-tomatoes-were-vegetables https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/10/18/the-obscure-supreme-court-case-that-decided-tomatoes-are-vegetables/ https://www.insider.com/interesting-facts-about-oreo-2018-7#oreo-first-appeared-on-the-market-in-1912-1 https://www.mashed.com/223360/the-strange-history-of-the-oreo-and-hydrox-cookie-rivalry/ https://www.mashed.com/702384/why-this-snack-food-giant-is-being-sued-over-an-oreo-flavor/?utm_campaign=clip http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2015/10/time-company-baked-giant-cake-win-court-case/  https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/read-this/is-a-jaffa-cake-a-cake-or-a-biscuit-heres-the-definitive-answer-as-decided-by-a-court-1379222 https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/92007/why-us-federal-court-ruled-marvels-x-men-arent-humans https://www.polygon.com/comics/2019/9/12/20862474/x-men-series-toys-human-legal-issue-marvel-comics https://observer.com/2007/12/thar-she-blows-19thcentury-court-case-harpoons-a-whale-of-a-story/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nix_v._Hedden https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtpJFEBcKoE

Kate and I talked about all kinds of things. Being highly sensitive, early intervention, and the science of happiness. Click here to listen: https://bit.ly/3mPxYXS     Show Notes:    Transcribed Episode of Love Yourself Sober - Episode 151 with Kate Bailey & Arlina Allen   Arlina Allen  0:08   I'm super excited to talk to you. I, I know Mandy Mathers. She actually had me on your podcast, as you know. She and I were in the same coaching class. So that was super fun. That's how we met and I'm so excited to get to meet you and talk to you about your book.   Kate Bailey  0:27   Yeah, cuz It's not long been out in the States. I think it was just about a month.   Arlina Allen  0:34   Yeah, that is so exciting. Listen, I have so many questions for you about the book. It's called "Love yourself sober, A self care guide to alcohol free living for busy mothers". And, you know, busy moms. Super cute cover   Unknown Speaker  0:59   who designed the cover?   Unknown Speaker  1:01   You know, I don't know someone in the publishing house. But I love it. It's Yeah, it's great   Unknown Speaker  1:08   Yeah. I'm matching   Unknown Speaker  1:13   If you're not watching this on YouTube. Yes. Mandy is matching her book. Right. So cute. Was that deliberate?   Kate Bailey  1:20   It's Kate. Do you know as we keep doing this, It's like we've become the same person. And if sometimes we're talking to someone both of us on the pod. And someone will say how are you to me? I'll just go on. We're fine.   Unknown Speaker  1:40   Oh no, I'm so sorry! We we need to ship your names like you know, like "Brangelina". Like Manate. Wait no, that doesn't sound right. hahaha.   Unknown Speaker  2:12   Oh my gosh. Okay. Yes. So this is such an important book. Because, you know, it's so funny. Not funny, but peculiar is that people when they are struggling with recovery, they hate themselves, right? And it's like, you can't hate yourself well. It's like trying to run a marathon with a broken leg. And so the reason your book is so brilliant, love yourself sober. It's like, that's how it has to be done. You know? And I don't know about you. Like, when I first got sober, I would go to these rooms. And people would say things like, oh, we're gonna love you until you can love yourself. And I was like, wow, somebody's got to because that ain't me.   Unknown Speaker  2:50   It's so true, isn't it? And it was definitely that piece. It was the sort of the self care the self love. It definitely started almost outside in for me that journey. Yeah. Because I didn't have the internal resources. So when I discovered self care, and so retreats, and filling my toolkit, that's when I started to build my capacity. So it's definitely an outside in journey and that and that's what changed my recovery and my sobriety for me. 100%. Yeah,   Unknown Speaker  3:26   Right! You know, there's I have just found that there's just a million ways to do it. And I i bristle at people who are like, oh, all you have to do is this. And that's all you have to do.    Unknown Speaker  3:41   So I like to start with a fun little game. I'm calling the lightning round. And I'll just ask you a few questions. And it doesn't have to be fast answers you can answer as quickly or as slowly. But your book is obviously going to be an amazing resource. But when you first got sober, what books were really helpful to you? Hmm.   Unknown Speaker  4:06   Well, I got sober with sober sisters, which is an online forum, which launched about eight years ago. So before that, there was nothing that I could access that that appealed to me at all. And so Lucy Rocco, who founded sober Easter's wrote a book called The sober revolution. And it was the first book that I'd ever read that referred to the kind of relationship with our culture rather than it like you said being a prescribed way or received messages and when we've moved on, on a long way in the in the UK in the conversation, and this really she likened it to a disc, you know, a bad boyfriend, a destructive relationship. And that was hugely that just spoke to me. I was like, Oh, yeah, that's that's me. And the other one I really liked at the time was Jason vales. How to quit. Drinking, how to kick drinking easily. I think it was calling bs on the kind of social piece and the brainwashing around it. That was super helpful to me. It was unpicking all the messaging really helped me.   Unknown Speaker  5:14   Yeah, that's great. I was talking to Claire Pooley. and she said the same thing. She's she also mentioned Jason vales book and I was like, so did you stop drinking easily after that?   Unknown Speaker  5:23    Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I, I read those ice quit for a year. straight off. Once I found so baristas and read those two books. I was like, that's it. And I did go back after a year, which is another part of the story, which then where the self care piece came in and all the other stuff. So that Yeah, okay. Yes, definitely part of toolkit. Yeah, I   Unknown Speaker  5:51   have lots of questions about relapse stuff. I mean, I feel like everybody who's tried to quit has struggled with the stopping part, obviously. So, we'll talk a little bit about that. Do you have a go to mantra or quote that you find yourself coming back to?   Unknown Speaker  6:08   I do. I love one, the one that really got me out of some hot water, and I find myself repeating it a quite a lot. Not so much to myself. But when, with with clients may be who are struggling and we tell when we are generating mantras. And it was, I haven't come this far to only come this far. Because I was like, Yeah, right. Yeah. in all senses. Yeah. Like, what's the what's the next bit look like? What is the next bit gonna look like? Oh, shoot. Yeah,   Unknown Speaker  6:42   like come this far to only come this far?   Unknown Speaker  6:45   Yeah. That's fighting talk.   Unknown Speaker  6:50   Words. That's awesome. Okay, and do you have a regular self care routine? Like, do you have like a morning routine? Or do you think of it more in terms of like, a weekly, or weekly schedule?   Unknown Speaker  7:03   Do you know what this is a really good question. And it's something that has really evolved for me. And one of the reasons why I realized I have a really elaborate self care practice, on one of the reasons is because of my dysregulation, because of what I believe is now neuro some neuro diversity. So some sensory processing anxiety, I identify as a highly sensitive person. So I need a lot of external resourcing in terms of routine boundaries, not taking on too much. checking my diary and then taking a third off, do your calendar and then take a take that off that is my that is my aim. I don't always manage it. But that is my intention, because I always overestimate what I can do and then get stressed out. I know if I take a third off, I'm getting in the right area. Yet, so I do a lot of yoga. I love yoga, but we've been in lockdown in the UK. So I'm doing online yoga classes, but usually go to a yoga studio, where I also work. I'm not a yoga teacher, but I help out that's my contribution to the community. What else? And I mean, just I know what what is also my routine is Netflix.   Unknown Speaker  8:34   Is that your downtime?   Unknown Speaker  8:36   That honestly it is literally like if I watch an episode of whatever it is I'm into, because you know, I get quite I get a bit annoyed and a bit bored when everything has to be Like who? Because I do love yoga. Right? And I do you meditate. But I don't I hate it when things get too wordy, because as modern busy women, we still need quick fixes and modern things like so if I'm rewatching Don't tell anyone I'm rewatching Downton Abbey at the moment. I just finished down to a sec. Oh, I love it. Oh my gosh. So   Unknown Speaker  9:14   good.   Unknown Speaker  9:17   luck if I watch an episode of Downton Abbey, I literally switch off. I'm not I'm not thinking about me. I'm not thinking about the kids. You know, it really is. So So yeah. So better Netflix. What else?   Unknown Speaker  9:31   Have you been to Downton? Abbey?   Unknown Speaker  9:33   No, it's a bit. It's up north. It's up north. In the UK.   Unknown Speaker  9:38   It's South here as well.   Unknown Speaker  9:41   No in terms of what you're used to. It's like probably only about four hours drive. But for us it's like, like, possibly it's like a different universe. But I will do I really want to so when things open up again in the UK. I have to exist. beautifies Yes.   Unknown Speaker  10:00   Please do take pictures for me. Yeah. Check it out early. No, I made it. I'm okay. Yes. So the self care It sounds like you have lots of self care in terms of are you Where are you with the higher power situation?   Unknown Speaker  10:16   Well, AI is complicated.   Unknown Speaker  10:20   How How long have you got like your face?   Unknown Speaker  10:25   So I had a religious trauma as a child. Okay, God, we got loads in common right without you   Unknown Speaker  10:35   have you know, religious, you know, first chicken? Have you heard of the term super churched?   Unknown Speaker  10:41   No.   Unknown Speaker  10:44   Seek church.   Unknown Speaker  10:45   I was super churched. I interviewed this lady who was the pastor's daughter, girl, those poor girls, they go one of two ways, either either super good, or they're like me. Yeah. And so anyway, it sounds like you were super churched to some extent. Yeah.   Unknown Speaker  11:03   Yeah. I know, interestingly, but it was my parents weren't but there was that's a whole other story. But my aunt was a born again, Christian. And I got really into into that for various various reasons. Sure, but it became really dark for me. So I managed to sort of remove myself from all of that through education. And when I did my a levels, so went to college, and started studying philosophy and comparative religion. I was able to unpick it I unpicked it intellectually, but there was still a lot of that fear. And that, yeah, that that trauma, so I couldn't go anywhere near so I, you know, you know, we tried to go to traditional AIA stuff, like the first time I think when I was about 27. And I understand now that that was very, that was like, re traumatizing me. Yeah. So there was nothing This is why I mentioned sober Easter's because it was like, what's the first thing I could that I could access? Right? Because like, they were not safe space to me, but I had no idea. I had no idea that that's what was going on until fairly recently, actually, when I started looking at what trauma is. So I'm not great with but having said that, I my mic. So we had to lovely when we as a friend of ours, a dear SOPA sister called Rachel Welford, who's who right who has he she does meditation and stuff and Gong laughs and she said she caught me spiritually slutty because I basically love anything to do with ritual religions. But in a kind of I'm very interested and I like to play with them. So it's so it's a funny one it's a yes or no, it's like I'm not I'm not in I suppose a traditional higher power person, but I just think we're connected to something the universe and something much, much greater just because for the size of it. It's like something bigger, bigger, so I don't feel complicated about it. Yes, it's on my terms. That's That's for me.   Unknown Speaker  13:20   Well, I mean, it means needs to make sense, right? Yeah. Like that was always the thing for me is like it needs to make sense. Yes, there's a lot of things in an organized religion that don't really make sense. Have you ever heard of Carolyn Miss? She was on Oprah. Do you ever watch those super soul Sunday episodes?   Unknown Speaker  13:41   No,you know what happened? We’re really busy watching Downton Abbey. Or and the walking dead?     Unknown Speaker  13:52   Oh, yeah. Did you get into Game of Thrones?   Unknown Speaker  13:54   Oh my god, I love it. Literally I didn't know what I was gonna do when Game of Thrones ended because I loved it too much.   Unknown Speaker  14:02   Yeah, I always there are some books and some and some movies and TV series that when they end I'm just devastated.    Unknown Speaker  14:13   Yes.   Unknown Speaker  14:14   not totally religiously slutty but that is hilarious. But I was going to tell you about Oprah and the conversation she had with Carolyn Miss because Carolyn Miss gave one of the best exam or explanations that really resonated with me. She said that God is law. Meaning like gravity law of attraction cause and effect. I'm a little nerdy with like quantum physics, like the theory of entanglement. And there are some actually there's some great Netflix series on entanglement. If you're ever interested. I think you know what that Yeah. And it's it's framed under the title of something about quantum physics, which sounds super nerdy but it It explains a lot of things very practical things like have you ever, like thought about something that somebody random or is and then they call you or you get an email or something? And you're like, Whoa, I was just thinking about you. Yeah, that kind of explains it through the theory, I think, yeah, you'll like it.    Yeah, I could tell you're a science girl, because we're going to talk about the autonomic system and some other things. neuroscience, love me some science because it's like, you don't have to have faith. We have evidence.   Unknown Speaker  15:28   Right. Yeah. So anyway, yeah, we do. And that experience. Yeah, it's a funny subject. I mean, I just, I think experientially I, even though it was difficult for me as a teenager, I used so what I used to do is go to my room, and I used to pray and so meditate for two hours on my own. And I used to get so high. I always said that when I, I, you know, experimented with drugs, like this late teens and early 20s. And I was bit like, I'm not really gonna bother with them, because I just used to get they didn't get me as high as meditation used to. And I'm prayer, um, you know, to heighten a battle, but I mean, that's the kind of saving grace right, I suppose. I mean, I definitely took to alcohol. That was my drug of choice. I was your drug of choice. Okay.   Unknown Speaker  16:30   We'll have to we'll have to get into that. I think I only have a couple more things. What's one thing you wish you knew when you first got sober? Like, is there anything that sticks out is like Gosh, would have been nice to know.   Unknown Speaker  16:47   Yeah, I wish I'd known all the kind of the holistic this the self care toolkit,   Unknown Speaker  16:53   or sick self care. That's good. Yeah, money, but body, mind and spirit, right? We need to take care of all of them. And then what do you do for fun? We talked about chickens a little earlier. We had chickens. I love   Unknown Speaker  17:06   my chickens so much, because we've just got to say you have chickens, but you haven't got   Unknown Speaker  17:13   them with you. You don't have them anymore. Yeah, we moved. I couldn't bring them but they're beautiful. What can I so talk about what kinds do you have? Because there's so many varieties most people don't know.   Unknown Speaker  17:25   Yeah. So I have a Dutch barn founder. Who is we've called for lion and Galena.   Unknown Speaker  17:36   We have   Unknown Speaker  17:36   here No, this is down to my daughter's buff Orpington. They've got to buff orpingtons. They've got the big fluffy bottoms and fluffy legs. They're hilarious. They're hilarious,   Unknown Speaker  17:47   especially when I run.   Unknown Speaker  17:48   Yeah. But like they've got like, they're like they're on wheels or something. That's amazing. So my daughter's one is blonde. And she's called Lady ieder. And you know that lady down snap a   Unknown Speaker  18:02   man. That girl was never gonna get her day.   Unknown Speaker  18:08   So true. I can't remember that. Because I've watched it before. And I watched it when I was sober. And it's getting to that interesting part with her wish. Where that that end is gone. Yes. And I and I genuinely can't remember what happens to us.   Unknown Speaker  18:26   Before   Unknown Speaker  18:27   I was spoiler free, I know that's, that's the benefit of getting a little older as you forget.   Unknown Speaker  18:33   Oh, that's right. That's amazing.   Unknown Speaker  18:35   surprised and happy all over again. Oh, no, I had a Polish chicken that had one of those big fluffy hats. Yeah, they called her Lady Gaga. Amazing.   Unknown Speaker  18:49   So yeah, like,   Unknown Speaker  18:50   well, that is a lot of fun. The chickens are fun. It sounds like your kids like them, too. Yeah.   Unknown Speaker  18:55   So we do that. And I also when things are open, I do musical theater. So I do sing. That's how I met my husband. We were in a band together, years and years ago. And now I don't because that was all very like, I thought I was really cool. And we had this band and we've gigs and we all like proper musicians. And then I discovered the love of absolutely ridiculous frivolous musical theater. And I've got a local group that I do. So.   Unknown Speaker  19:26   Oh my gosh, do you have anything recorded? Because if you do, you must send me some links.   Unknown Speaker  19:31   Do I don't think we do. So I love it.   Unknown Speaker  19:34   Yeah, my son in high school   Unknown Speaker  19:37   was obsessed with the   Unknown Speaker  19:39   he's it like the stage he did like sound and stage prop he like he built things and oh my gosh, it was such a fun world to be in.   Unknown Speaker  19:48   I had no idea right? And it's lovely doing the amateur stuff because as somebody told me and I love this because amateur gets this. Like you know, I don't know what it's like in this But if you say, oh, you're just an amateur, it's all   Unknown Speaker  20:03   No pressure.   Unknown Speaker  20:04   Yeah, you want exactly the love of the amateur. But you know, it's almost like code for a bit shit. Right? Which suddenly, yeah, maybe maybe. But somebody said, one of our directors said, It amateur comes from the French for for the love of, because it comes from the word or more, which is we do it for the love of,   Unknown Speaker  20:29   for the love of her. That's Brian, I love that. Got to have some fun. All right, that I and I think you've probably experienced that too is when people first gets over there, like bored out of their minds. You know, their whole dopamine reward system is is skewed,   Unknown Speaker  20:46   shall we say? Yeah, yeah. And that's why you need that. Yeah, you need the holistic thing. You need the happy hitch, you need the sober treats, you need the silly things. You told   Unknown Speaker  20:56   me sources, right, lots of resources. Well, I want to talk about resources and the book, obviously. But um, maybe we could talk a little bit about your story. Do you want to just take a few minutes to walk us through the things that people that are they tell me that they love to hear? As you know, it sounds like you started drinking and doing drugs? kanyang. And, but what people really want to know is like, what made you finally decide to quit? You know, I have a I have some coaching clients that are like the spouse of the alcoholic, and, you know, they just need a little hope that it's possible that maybe their spouse is gonna quit. So yeah, anyway, but you want to just start with like, I'm always curious about like, family of origin as well.   Unknown Speaker  21:46   Hmm. Well, again, I think I've pieced a lot of this together over the last few years in terms of self study and recovery, and knowing Mandy and talking to her most days, and she is a great mental health advocate. So I've learned a lot about my own mental health journey as part of this, which I wasn't really aware of. Okay, so I was very anxious. I had, you know, various aces growing up. And my father, I'd say, identified as traditionally what I what I always identified an alcoholic, as Okay, I'm sort of, you know, yeah, pretty much wheels off the wagon kind of kind of stuff.   Unknown Speaker  22:35   Was he violent, or just absent or just absent?   Unknown Speaker  22:38   Yeah, just stops him. And I feel sorry for him now, because he was a sailor. And in those days, you didn't get any leave to see your family, you're away on the boats on ships for months on end. And they partly they used to get paid in tops of rum. They literally were enabling a whole, these poor young men who were away from their families in really cramped conditions, giving them alcohol, so and no mental health support, and no awareness of neurodiversity. At that point, any kind of autistic spectrum ADHD, highly sensitive, nothing. So, you know, it's, it's, I'm understanding that through a more compassionate lens, I think, you know. So yeah, I didn't really know him. And then I saw, I was very anxious. And like I said, I sort of took to the kind of religion as my first drug of choice, I would say, to try and self soothe in a very anxious mind. And then again, later on, I've sort of identified as highly sensitive. And through parenting, my son, who is now we realize has ADHD and is on the tourism spectrum. Obviously, that allowed a mirror into me and in my family and that sort of genetic piece, and realized that this runs through generation. And so there was, I really feel like that's a massive piece, like we said, in the kind of in the recovery conversation and alcohol use disorder, addictive behaviors, pieces, is that neuro diversity, I'm sure talk about that bit later. But for me, I don't know if you heard that the kind of phrase the sort of gray area drinking.   Unknown Speaker  24:29   Oh, yeah,   Unknown Speaker  24:30   yeah. Okay. So, I mean, that very much like me, in that. It looked pretty normal on the surface. Nothing, there were no particular issues. My husband was worried. No, none of my friends my friends just thought I was paranoid. Just thought I was absolutely batshit crazy that I was even worrying about it because everyone was getting pissed at the weekends. So there was this kind of normative drinking culture in Britain, where, if you are in that, that sort of on the alcohol use disorder spectrum slap earlier on and hazardous and harmful but not dependent, which is where I was   Unknown Speaker  25:15   harmful or harmful, but not dependent.   Unknown Speaker  25:17   Yeah. harmful and hazardous, but not dependent. So earlier on in the on the alcohol use disorder spectrum, right? Yeah, what you basically get mirrored back with, when you Eve, if you go to your doctor, or if you go to a counselor, or if you go to your friends, people will generally tell you, you haven't got problem because you're doing what's normative, right? They don't know, or maybe you don't know, underneath that. It feels like a crisis. It feels devastating to you, it feels hard work, like you're thinking you're planning and trying not to do it. You're regretting waking up at three in the morning with anxiety, but maybe only drinking twice a week. So that that was kind of where I was, it was like this awful, toxic relationship with it. And yeah, the bad boyfriend, but nothing that anyone outside could particularly put their finger on. But I had this just feeling of landslide. You know, I was like, what I'm also getting married to me is so the normative drinking culture or the alternative, which is like AA, or some of the traditional recovery, which tells telling me I have to reach a rock bottom telling me I'm I'm powerless. And I'm like, Well, no, that doesn't fit either. But if there is no early intervention, if there was no entry points to recovery earlier, then I might end up down there. But why don't want to wait for that. I don't want to wait. So there's a lot of fear, there was a lot of confusion. And there was a lot of what looked like normal and there was a lot of beating myself up. And I'd say that was going on from my late 20s through my early 30s through to my mid 30s. And I sort of managed my mental health by a mixture kind of hot yoga, I was always working out. I had enough I had enough resources that alcohol was one of them. And when I became a mom, we moved to a new town. And I moved away from all my friends. My husband was working in London as a journalist, I'd stopped working in London as a journalist. So I was literally at home stuck on my own, not knowing anyone. bored, lonely, tired, angry, I wasn't hungry. I had all the other frickin triggers. And it literally was like now I understand that that's why our call I think dance center stage at that point, because there was there were no other resources for me. I couldn't get to meetings because I didn't have the childcare like there is no support in the UK for you. Unless you are totally up shake Creek. Right. Wow. So it's changed a lot. But I think that's why the rise of the cyber forums in the UK has gone stratospheric there are so many it's because necessity is so often the mother of invention. And it's like and it's no and it's also no mistake, I don't think or no coincidence that many of them are women LED. It's like women are really leading the kind of new alternative patchworks to recovery. Right. Right. So, so that was it. So I found so barristers you know, I tried to stop every week. I was like, I'm never drinking again. Every Sunday morning. I was like,   Unknown Speaker  28:44   are you just waking up with headaches? And yeah, like hung over and feeling bad about like, maybe not paying attention to the kids and that kind of thing?   Unknown Speaker  28:53   Yeah, exactly. So it was very much that Yeah, and very Yeah, just feeling really guilty. About Yeah, just all of it. I always say that there was before that there was this kind of dichotomy between there was this healthy Kate you know, healthy Kate who wanted to go for our goals and kind of really wanted to? I've always, you know, wanted that kind of health happiness high quite high. vibing Yeah. And then there was this kind of you know, that this kind of destructive thing with the Hedden ism the coping with the anxiety with drinking and then not being able to control that. And then so that there was this there were these two bits to me and I would go between the two. And I think what motherhood did was just open that chasm even more It was like, none of this is fitting with my values about how I want to be and how I like what if they need to go to hospital and my house spends at work. And I've had a couple of glasses of wine in the evening. I can't, I can't, but I didn't know how to chill out. I didn't know how to relax. I didn't know our back. And also we've got mummy wine culture in there, which is massive. Saying, of course, you need mommy juice, you know, seven o'clock. So it was very confusing. It was so confusing. So when I found so Brister, I was like someone's prep throw me a lifeline. That's it. I'm in and I was ready, willing and able, not feeling like I was able 100% but I was going to give it my darndest, you know? So   Unknown Speaker  30:40   that was the beginning. The beginning. How old were you when you started drinking?   Unknown Speaker  30:46   16 I think Yeah,   Unknown Speaker  30:47   just like a typical like, let's try this out kind of stuff.   Unknown Speaker  30:51   Yeah, cuz I was such a good girl. You know, I stopped and start smoking. And I did drain. I was so like, didn't do it until it was what actually it's 18 in the UK for alcohol, but you know, everyone does. When everyone's drinking. Everyone did when they were Yeah, yeah. Especially for my generation when you could fake all your ID and just no one asked.   Unknown Speaker  31:17   Nobody care. No, that's funny. Um, okay, so you get sober. And you go through the sober. He says, did you experience and you're married at this time, right?   Unknown Speaker  31:29   Yeah. So we got married. I've been with my husband like 25 years now.   Unknown Speaker  31:34   I think. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. My husband and I, you must have been he young when you met him?   Unknown Speaker  31:41   We were in our 20s. Yeah.   Unknown Speaker  31:43   Okay. I'm not gonna ask you how old you are. But my husband and I got together in our met when he was 24. And he seems like, like, my son is almost 20 mine. And I was like, Oh my God, he's a baby. So I can't believe we were so young. We got together can't believe that. Oh, yeah. My   Unknown Speaker  31:59   husband is 23 when I met him.   Unknown Speaker  32:02   Wow, we do a lot of parallels. That's so funny. So okay, so you get sober was he? How did he feel about you getting sober? Was he like, oh, what about hot sex? Like, is that guy?   Unknown Speaker  32:16   He was definitely that. And there was, but there was this, he was so bored of me saying this. He was just like, stop moaning. So what I decided to do is I decided not to tell him for about a month. I just did it. Because I wanted to say to him, I have this is serious this time, I haven't been doing it. And this is what it what I'm up to. Rather than say, I need your help to do this. I just was like, by the way I'm doing this. And, and I said I did tell him after about three weeks, I think because I was on my phone or my tablet all the time. So baristas. And I thought he might think I was having an affair. So I better tell him. Because I think because I was never on it before I like going back like nearly 10 years like social media wasn't what it is. Right? Now. Anyway, me. Yeah, you.   Unknown Speaker  33:19   Did he ask you or did you just share it? No, I   Unknown Speaker  33:22   just caught him looking at me kind of and I was like, Look, just by the way, this is what I'm doing. And I'm on this forum. It felt very risky, though. It really did. Like, I think one of the hardest things for that portion of drinkers, I'd say that, you know, one of the hard things is that there's a lot of fear for you and of the relationship changing. The fun going and the what are we going to do and we have to kind of re reinvent things, you know, yeah,   Unknown Speaker  33:57   you have to readjust a little bit,   Unknown Speaker  33:58   too, don't you?   Unknown Speaker  34:00   Yeah. And then my husband's over. But it's, I mean, that's the one thing I hear a lot it's like well what do you do if your husband still drinks You know, that's the main people like everybody has to adjust. So you're just thought it was okay.   Unknown Speaker  34:16   Yeah. And I think well i think what you realize as you go down the line is that that is symptomatic of how important alcohol has become in your own heads and your own life. Because once it isn't, it's like well we do loads of different things we go walking we walk the dog we go out for dinner we go on holiday we tour I mean we do we do loads of stuff. We don't do anything at the mangas we're in lockdown, but that's a whole lot and try and find space all of us just going to a different corners of basketball right now. I'm just going but yeah, but that is that's the fear and I think that really goes with time because you realize As alcohol diminishes, it's great. And it becomes less and less important. It's like, well, I can't even remember doing drinking with him now, which is   Unknown Speaker  35:09   bad. So he doesn't he doesn't drink that much.   Unknown Speaker  35:11   He know he drinks a bit. But yeah,   Unknown Speaker  35:14   it doesn't matter. You   Unknown Speaker  35:16   know, I didn't, I never did care, to be honest. Because I just, I was always like, this is mine, I don't want anyone else to be part of it. Because if they are, they will knock me off, I got it, it's mine, I'm gonna be in control of it. And like audit my little sober flame that I was just gonna go like that to protect it, yeah, protects it, and it's mine. Otherwise, if someone else gets to near it, they can blow it out. And I'm not gonna let them   Unknown Speaker  35:41   you know, right, right. You know, that's not taking full responsibility of your recovery. And I think that's amazing. So what were some of the things that you learned in the summary status?   Unknown Speaker  35:53   Early Well, can the connection, how important connection is. And again, I didn't realize that at the time, because all of my recovery that has happened since I then, you know, I said, I went back to drinking, because I hadn't got the toolkit, I hadn't got the tools for living. So all the bad old habits crept back in, but the main thing that I got, there was that connection, and that just literally rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat day in day out one day at a time, right? Just that, that that sort of some of the habit change muscle power behind me, I definitely had that. But I didn't have the tools about Nervous System regulation. I did not know anything about self compassion. I had, I went on to study the Science of Happiness. And that really changed my life and my entire outlook on what it is to be human. Because they look at all the keys of happiness, and what's right with us about our pro social natures. Gratitude, compassion, self compassion. Or, you know that that side, we were talking about higher power, and I and, you know, all for me has always been a big thing, looking at the night sky, forest walks, but actually starting to skillfully incorporate all of those things and work with them and develop them as in or as resources. I started to get better properly. Like, my mental health got better, I was able to take third off my   Unknown Speaker  37:34   list. Did you say Science of Happiness?   Unknown Speaker  37:38   Yeah, it's called the Science of Happiness. And it's basically an online course you can do at Harvard and Barclay, with the ED x platform. So it's a MOOC modular online course, over about 10 weeks, and it's an evolutionary theory and neuroscience around what it is to be mammalian pro social effect, the about the 16% of happiness that we can actually do something about. Yeah, it is just a fabulous, fabulous, fabulous course. And it was that that then I realized this a lot of people on forums talking about similar things, right. So it was at that point where I was like, You know what, I'm going to train as a coach, I don't see any courses that I like. So I'm going to do a grounding in life coaching like a two year Diploma in life coaching, then, I'm going to build a my own course, on my own package that incorporates positive psychology and the Science of Happiness is I think that's what we need. Oh, yeah. So So that was my journey. And in between all of that I sort of met Mandy and started our work together.   Unknown Speaker  38:53   Yeah, you guys are doing brilliant work, you have the you guys are cofounders of love, sober, calm, change your relationship with alcohol. I know you have courses and coaching and community with accountability. Brilliant, I just love it. I love what you guys are doing.   Unknown Speaker  39:09   It's just you know what, that whole one thing that that we feel really passionate about, sorry, I'm sort of like veering off in different directions. But that idea of community connection, collaboration, which I know that she recovers is so brilliant. But Mandy and I because we're both busy moms, we could not be doing any the work that we're doing, if we weren't collaborating. And also then we have certain people in the in our in our community that that help as well. And we just were a sort of a more collective and a community interest company, basically. Right. Um, so yeah, I yeah, so all of this kind of growth. I mean, I think one of the one of the The keys for me and I don't really know how to explain it other than this was like, a such a seminal moment for me. And it was the last time I drank was my last day one touch word. You know, don't take it for granted. But it was my last day. Last day one. And I had gone through the whole shallow shallow shallow shot, I'd stopped drinking five months and a half drink then I stopped again for a few months and, and I went up to London, it was my sister in law's 40th birthday. And, anyway, To cut a long story short, we did end up I did end up drinking. And I woke up in the morning. And I it was a beautiful, hot, sunny day, and I was paralyzed with fear. It was like, the darkness had come on me so badly. I could barely move for the shame. It was like I was, I was fucking broken. Like, and I don't know why, particularly that particular night. I don't know, my I was just done, right.   Transcribed by https://otter.ai

My guest today is Heather Hedden. Heather is an information management consultant specialized in taxonomies, controlled vocabularies, metadata, and indexing. She's the author of two books, including The Accidental Taxonomist, a guide to the discipline of taxonomy creation and management. In this conversation, we explore taxonomies and why they're important for organizations.

I get a small commission for purchases made through these links. Read the full transcript Jorge: Heather, welcome to the show. Heather: Thank you for inviting me, Jorge. Jorge: I'm very glad to have you here. For folks who might not know you, how do you introduce yourself? About Heather Heather: Well, very simply in one word, I'm a taxonomist. But then maybe I have to explain what that is. So, it depends on whom I'm introducing myself to. If they know what taxonomy is, it's a short introduction. And a long introduction is explaining about organizing information, making it more easy to find. Then maybe I explain tagging and indexing and I develop those terms that are used for tagging or indexing online digital content, whether it's internal or external on websites. Jorge: You're also the author of the book called The Accidental Taxonomist, which I think is a great introduction to the subject. And you talk a little bit in the book about how you came to taxonomy work. What do you mean by “accidental taxonomist?” Heather: Well, actually, I came up with the idea of not just about myself, but many people who do taxonomy work don't think that that's something they're going to do when they're students or starting out their career, or even when they're in a position… Suddenly they're in an organization where there's suddenly a need for a taxonomy and maybe they're the ones that are the closest to it. I was thinking at the time, when I wrote about a case of special librarians, special librarians who might normally do research, but they have had some training on cataloging and then they're suddenly asked to make a taxonomy and it's a little bit different and they might not know. But people can come from many backgrounds. They could be subject matter experts. They could be information architects, they could come from IT. And I'm even seeing out from another direction, maybe from ontologies, they could have more of a computer science background. But there are very few courses that are taught, even in library or information schools that are just on taxonomies or… a taxonomy is something that's more practical than theoretical. Jorge: How did you come to taxonomy work? Heather: Okay. So, my background was with content. I had a journalism job and then I got a job with a… well, you could say a library vendor, but the company was indexing and abstracting lots of different magazine and trade journal articles, and I was hired as an abstractor/indexer because I knew how to write the abstracts. And then they trained me on indexing with their controlled vocabulary. And then I moved into the group that managed the controlled vocabularies. We didn't call them taxonomies, but, you know, they fit into that. The name of that company, Information Access Company, doesn't exist anymore because it was acquired by Thompson, then merged into Gale. So, Gale still exists as a division of Cengage. So, that's how I got started, and worked on various controlled vocabularies there. And then, didn't survive the round of layoffs, so then I had to go off on my own and I found out there were other applications and learned other things about taxonomy. Also learned about information architecture then too. And I did some contracting and then got different jobs as a taxonomist here and there. And having worked for more than one, but multiple employers… because each organization looks at taxonomy a little differently, they may have different kinds of content, different kinds of users, it's for a slightly different purpose. So that broad experience working in multiple organizations then made me feel confident about writing about it and teaching. Actually, I do teach an online course, which I actually started before the book. And that was the basis of it. Jorge: What was it about taxonomy work that attracted you? You said that your background was in content, and the sense I got from hearing you talk about it is that you almost kind of fell into it, but you've been involved with it for a long time. You've taught it. You've written a book. What was it about taxonomy work that drew you to it? Heather: Well, it's analytical and it's a little bit creative too. I mean, how are you going to describe a concept? What words will you use? What synonyms should you use? What else will you need to relate that concept to? Should we include it or should we not? And then at the same time, we learn about all different kinds of subject areas. That was a nice thing about working in this company, Information Access Company, Gale, because we were just… all kinds of news, research, periodicals since it went through library. So, I could learn a little bit about many different subject areas rather than becoming a specialist in anything. But, yeah, I liked that it's analytical, it's creative it's…and there's this mix about working independently, but also collaborating with other people. You have to talk with the different stakeholders that are involved. What is a taxonomy? Jorge: We've been talking about terms that some of our listeners might not be clear on, starting with the term taxonomy itself. How do you describe what a taxonomy is to someone who might not be familiar with it? Heather: Yeah, as I said, it's a set of terms, words, or phrases that describe concepts that are used to tag or index documents or content, but they are organized in some kind of structure too that traditionally is hierarchical, but it could be grouped by different aspects that we call facets, or some combination. The funny thing about taxonomy, it's part of a bigger world of what we might call, as I referred to, “controlled vocabularies” or “knowledge organization systems.” But some other ones are more formal. There's nothing actually formal as far as standards for taxonomies. Now the most closely related, is what's called a thesaurus, not Roget's Thesaurus, to look up synonyms, but an information thesaurus, because it has terms that have relationships that could be hierarchical, that is broader or narrower or associative, which is related. And then there also is what they call an equivalence relationship for synonyms or near synonyms, but just terms that could be used for instead. And there are standards for thesauri, published standards from the American National Standards Institute and from ISO, the International Organization for Standardization. And so, taxonomies can borrow from those standards as they like. And maybe some people have heard of ontologies, which are also related to taxonomies in a slightly different way. I mean, ontologies are a way of modeling and describing a domain of knowledge with not just concepts, but more broadly different classes and relations between them and certain types of attributes. And there are standards for ontologies as well from a different organization, from The Worldwide Web Consortium. They have something called the “web ontology language,” used with the acronym “OWL” and letters are not quite spelled right; a little differently. And another standard, RDF, which is the Resource Description Framework. So, I said there are standards. And then there's a standard for vocabularies, or knowledge organization systems, also from the Worldwide Web Consortium called “Simple Knowledge Organization System,” S-K-O-S. Skos, skoos, I've heard it both ways. And this is a little different because it just has to do with the exchange and interoperability. It doesn't provide guidelines for making a good taxonomy, but I'm seeing increasingly more taxonomies follow the SKOS model so they can be shared and exchanged. In defining a taxonomy, there are different approaches too. Some people think about the hierarchy tree of categories of broader, narrower and narrower, and narrower… and other people who realize that it's something that supports a search and keywords and tags might think of it, just a controlled list of tags. And in a sense, a taxonomy brings both of those together, the hierarchy structure, and then the controlled terms or vocabularies by having an unambiguous concept with one name and the others would just be synonyms pointing to it. And it even works that both those aspects show up in displays and in systems because you can have a content management system that lets you have categories and also tags at the same time. And now is that one or more taxonomy, can be a question, but that's… it's all very kind of fluid and that's part of what makes consulting very interesting because it depends so much on each situation and it's not like this is a taxonomy, you know, just do it this way. Applications of taxonomy Jorge: One way that I often describe to folks how they might experience a taxonomy is when considering something like search results. Like they go on, let's say Amazon, and they search for the term “e-reader.” And there is the first result comes back with a Kindle, right? And it might be that the word “e-reader” does not appear in the title Kindle, but somewhere behind the scenes, there's a mapping between those two terms. Is that what you're referring to when you talk about something like a thesaurus? Heather: Okay. The word, thesaurus can mean two different things. When I was talking about the information thesaurus, where they have those relationships of hierarchical and associative and equivalents. A simpler thesaurus that supports search could be called a search thesaurus where we really just have synonyms for each concept. And often a search system, a search engine, will have that kind of simpler thesaurus. We taxonomists also call that a “synonym ring,” because it's a bunch of synonyms that are all pointing to each other with none of them as preferred or displayed. So, that's within the realm of what taxonomists do. Although we may or may not call that a taxonomy. And as I said, since there's no formal standards for what exactly is a taxonomy, the word “taxonomy” can be used in a narrow sense, in a broader sense. Sometimes the word taxonomy can be used for any controlled vocabulary, including a simple search thesaurus, a more complex information thesaurus, an authority of proper nouns, names, or the more narrow definition of taxonomy where it's either hierarchical or arranged into facets with each facet, sort of like a, a hierarchy. Jorge: When you're describing that, particularly these relationships between terms that go beyond the simple synonym ring, it strikes me that these things could become quite complex and perhaps hard to manage. And I'm wondering what are good examples of the sort of business problems, or organizational problems, that having such a structure can help solve? Heather: Yeah. Well, you brought up search before and I actually meant to continue with that because sometimes search isn't good enough. That can be a problem. People are complaining that search doesn't work. They're not finding what they expect to find, or they get results that are irrelevant. So, if there is a search thesaurus or even a fuller displayed taxonomy to integrate with the search, this can help a lot. As I said, the search thesaurus doesn't display to the user, but if you have the terms that even display to the user, then they can use them to filter results and they could be grouped in a certain way, limit or filter. So, the combination of what is entered in a search box and then other topics or categories from a taxonomy to limit or filter results makes it a better experience and you get better results. The core of taxonomy Jorge: In the book you talk about the heart of being a taxonomist and you say that there are three things. So, the first is dealing with concepts. The second is figuring out what the best words are to describe those concepts. And then the third is determining how to arrange the concepts so people can find the information they're looking for. And that strikes me as a skill that has wide applicability in all sorts of situations. You've been describing search results but connecting people with the right information seems like a superpower somehow. Heather: Yeah! Well see, another thing is sometimes people know what to search for and sometimes they don't. And so that's why having something displayed as a taxonomy or facets provide some guidance for those who not too sure where to start, how broad or narrow. So, I find it significant to be able to – I've used this word – connecting the users to content. You know, the search is often dependent on, well, some people are good at searching and some people are not so experienced. But having a taxonomy kind of levels it. It's good for experienced people, and those who are novices, not just in searching, but also in the subject area too, because you can go further with it if you know the subject area, or you can just kind of explore as well by having a hierarchy with broader categories as a guiding starting point. So, I like that aspect of serving users and that's why I've also been interested in information architecture, because that is also very much user centered. Jorge: I remember in one part of the book you talk about the difference in configuring a taxonomy for expert users versus the general public. And they are very different, right? In the case of expert users, the process requires really understanding the mental model that these folks bring to whatever subject domain you're dealing with. Whereas with a more general audience I think it might be harder to predict what the framing they might bring to the situation. Is that a fair take? Heather: Yeah. I was just thinking about how there are different interfaces and they might offer an advanced search, versus just starting with the search box and then after getting results you can limit by or filter by other topics. So, that's simpler. So, that's one way of adapting to users of different abilities or levels. But what remains a challenge is what to call and name the actual taxonomy terms. If some would be more — you know, especially like let's say in a health or medical field — medical professionals would use different terms than patients or just the general population. So, that can be kind of a challenge if it's going to serve both users at the same time, the same content. I mean, that doesn't happen as often. Often content and its user interface is for a slightly more limited audience, but when I've worked before, there were some times trying to address both at the same time. Jorge: This hearkens back to this idea we were talking about earlier, about the core of being a taxonomist, where the first step is dealing with concepts and then the second step is figuring out what to call them, right? And I think that for many people — and for myself, before I started getting into this field — I used to conflate the two, right? I used to think that that, well the name is what it is. Right? But that's not necessarily the case. I'm wondering if you can speak more to that, to the difference between a concept and its labels. Heather: Yeah, well, the concept is an idea, and you first have to agree what… you know, and you can give it a temporary name, and decide, “yeah, we need this in the taxonomy. There's content about it. And people want to look it up.” And then, once you've done that, you go a little further with it and you were suddenly realize, “Oh, there two different names,” or, “we could call it this, or you could call it that…” Well, especially since we're talking about terms that are usually not one word, there is a noun and an adjective or maybe two adjectives. I mean, there's more that can be rearranged. And sometimes you can take up a little bit of time to look into that. I've even just gone searching on the web and seeing by usage counts, which is more common. And then of course talking… if you have access to the users or stakeholders, those involved seeing what they think, or looking up in the content itself, the content that will be tagged or indexed, what's more prevalent. I would say those are, those are the kind of three methods that I most often use to try to decide how something's going to be worded. And then what makes sense to be kind of consistent in style with the rest of the taxonomy. Language Jorge: It strikes me that the primary material that you're working with is language, and this is a line of work that requires mastery of language. Is that a fair take? Heather: Yeah. And not quite as much as you might think, because it deals with language, but also deals with identifying what's significant, what's important, identifying the concepts. And I talk about talking with users. I do conduct interviews with stakeholders. So even that skill of interviewing and getting input information and understanding user interface. So, there's a lot. And I am impressed, I've had students take my course for whom English is not their first language, or even some who worked in taxonomies when it's not their first language. They obviously have to be very, very fluent in the language that they're doing the taxonomy, but you don't have to be… you don't have to have studied linguistics or have that kind of language expertise. Jorge: At the very least, thought, you do have to have knowledge of the different grammatical parts, right? Heather: Yeah. Yeah! Basic grammar understanding. Jorge: There's a difference — and this came across as well in reading the book — there's a difference between creating a taxonomy and managing a taxonomy. These language structures evolve over time. Language evolves over time, And I'm wondering you, you are a consultant now, right? Heather: Yes! Jorge: So, and I'm a consultant as well, which means that, at least for me, I often come into projects and help organizations get the ball rolling on a project, maybe give them pointers as to what the shape of the thing should be. But then there's this work that comes afterwards of not only helping the thing come to life and be applied, but also to have it evolve over time. And I'm wondering if you could speak to the difference between the project of making a taxonomy and the governance aspect of taxonomies. Heather: Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up. That is important, especially in my role as a consultant, because I'm coming in for the short term of developing, designing the taxonomy, and then I leave and those who are in the organization there have to maintain it. So, as part of what I do is I always develop governance, plan, documentation, guidance of how the taxonomy should be maintained, which means, what are the criteria for adding a new term to the taxonomy? And what is the guidance for its style and format that we get into the more… the “word” part of it. But then there's the guidance on how it should be applied in the indexing or tagging. So, there could be guidance on how many taxonomy terms should be tagged to a content item or document. And if they are different kinds or different facets, what they should be used. So, that is very important. When I have worked as a staff taxonomist, controlled vocabulary editor, and then I was doing a mix of both, sometimes developing something new in a special project, while also maintaining the larger subject thesaurus-controlled vocabularies, and also the governance and maintenance documents continued to need evolving. It's surprising. You think it would have already been all documented, but then we'd come up with something else, such as relationships between two different vocabularies that hadn't been documented well enough, and I was looking into that recently. Jorge: Yeah, I remember reading in the book, an example of a scenario, which is not uncommon in the business world, where companies merge, right? Or there's an acquisition. And all of a sudden you have this situation where — and this strikes me as more of like a project-based intervention — but it's also an intervention where the team in charge must deal with planned and organized and smooth change coming to their vocabularies. Heather: Yeah. Well, I was thinking in that situation where two companies who already have controlled vocabularies for a similar purpose, the companies merge, and then they have to merge their controlled vocabularies. But then there are things that are related to expanding into a different market or different business and needing to reach a different audience, getting new content. And then of course there are things that come up with current events. So, we taxonomists are talking, “oh, we all had to add terms for COVID-19 and coronavirus and all that stuff.” Jorge: Right! And I'm sure that a situation like the pandemic that we're in the midst of still brings new terms like you're mentioning now. But it also changes the weighing of existing terms, right? So, I'm thinking of the word “mask,” which has acquired a whole new layer of meanings. Some of them even political, surprisingly, right? And that's what I had in mind when I was talking about the constantly evolving nature of language. Heather: Yeah, for some work I'm doing for a client now, and they have a lot of images, they had masks before; they were like Halloween masks. And now they added images, face masks, and I thought, okay, I'm go call this “face mask.” And the other one is just “mask.” The value of taxonomy Jorge: How do organizations know that they need a taxonomy? Heather: Oh, that's a good question. Of course, you know, some organizations who publish content, it's a little bit more part of what they do. But if it's just any organization and it's just their internal content, they have maybe a enterprise content management system, they may have an intranet, they may use SharePoint, you know, which has some, has search built into it. I'd say. It usually happens that people are realizing that they're having difficulty finding what they want. And, you know, these tools have features built in for taxonomies and maybe the IT department sets it up and they put in some categories, they put in some terms. They're not experts at taxonomies, but they might have some idea of what they want to do. But if it's not working quite well enough and people have seen something better then, and it's part of the user experience, part of getting work done that they want to decide that they want to take this more seriously, take it to the next level. And depending on how big it is, they could hire somebody as a new position, and they can make it part of a position or they could hire a contractor or a consultant to start it and then just continue and maintain it. Jorge: I remember reading in the book on the subject of human-created taxonomies versus automated… I'm not going to call it taxonomies, but like indexing software. I'm wondering, how does someone in a business who is facing this sort of challenge know when to call someone like yourself, who can help them with a taxonomy, versus thinking, “I can go and get a piece of software that does this”? Heather: Well, the software can do the tagging, the indexing, but the taxonomy has to still be created, and that's almost always manual. I mean, there are systems that will suggest terms and they still have to be reviewed, but I don't think they're that good. I mean, you see you put in a little bit of effort to create the taxonomy, and then it goes a long way, because then the indexing and tagging is done with it over time. So, the question is whether that indexing or tagging is going to be done manually or automated. So, that depends on where does that content come from and how much there is and how much it gets added. If you have people who are internally offering content, you can assign them the additional task of tagging to it. If the content is coming externally, especially there's a lot of data from emails or other social media or something there about this, they want to analyze for voice of the customer. And it just lots and lots of content out there. That's when automated makes more sense, or needing to go through… I mean, even a publisher of content, if it's news and it's daily, a lot of content, and that would be automated versus something that's a scholarly journal article. That's… the journal comes out four times a year, and it needs expertise to index that that's done manually. And there can be a combination too. Closing Jorge: For folks who might be interested in following up with you, either for this type of work or for learning about it, what's the best place to reach you? Heather: Well, my business is called Hedden Information, Hedden Information Management, and I have a website http://www.hedden-information.com. But I think people probably remember me most with the name “Accidental Taxonomist.” And so, I have a blog with that name, and I have a subsite of my website with that name. I can be reached that way too. But yeah, one way to get more information, you can visit my blog and my website. I have a lot of links to past published articles and presentations. So, there's a lot of good information there. As I mentioned, if you want to learn more, I do teach online course. It was originally through the continuing education program of a library school that discontinued its continuing education programs. So, I do it on my own and anybody can sign up anytime as an individual. And I do offer discounts for groups who want to take it together. And of course, as my book, I recommend The Accidental Taxonomist and when it's safe to do so, I will give onsite corporate workshops too. I gave my last and most recent one was in December 2019. I hope to take that up again, when it's possible Jorge: Hear, hear! Thank you so much for your time Heather, and for being here on the show. Heather: Yeah, thanks again for inviting me.

Their proposal envisions a world-class center for the integration of Native American traditional knowledge and western science at Bears Ears. The Coalition's proposal has been favorably received by the White House and appointees in the Obama Administration at the departments of Interior and Agriculture. www.grandcanyontrust.org   Bill Hedden is the Executive Director of the Grand Canyon Trust. Under his leadership, the Trust has helped clean up emissions from the region's coal fired power plants and remove radioactive wastes from the bank of the Colorado River. Hedden developed a leading program for reducing grazing damage on public lands, including purchasing two ranches covering 850,000 acres on the Grand Canyon's North Rim. The organization has led in developing ecologically sensible forest restoration programs and is partnering with Colorado Plateau tribes to win designation of the first-ever Native American national monument at the Bears Ears in southeast Utah. Hedden has a B.A. and Ph.D. in biology from Harvard University. The post The Visionary Activist Show – Caroline Hosts Bill Hedden appeared first on KPFA.

In den USA sind Präzedenzfälle, also Urteile mit Richtungswirkung wichtiger als bei uns. Im Fall Nix v. Hedden am US Supreme Court ging es um nicht weniger als um die Frage ob Tomaten nun als Frucht oder als Gemüse anzusehen sind und die Verhandlung bestand unter anderem aus Wörterbuchanalyse. Ich stelle mir vor, dass die beteiligten Juristen damals ernsthaft in Frage stellten ob sie die richtige Branche gewählt hatten. Trotzdem ist dieses Urteil, gefällt im vorletzten Jahrhundert, bis in die Neuzeit wirksam...

Every venue has its work. GenCon is “Freebird”. We made the mistake of playing it in the pre-show last year at Friday Night Live and ended up with a standing ovation before our actual show started. Sadly, we succumbed to peer pressure and played it again… but with a twist. Michelle Hedden joins us on bodhran for this mad hour of geek-filled fun.
