Amy Weitzman interviews Emily Sneff on her new book When the Declaration of Independence Was News and the graduate school experience. In 1776 people could hear the Declaration of Independence proclaimed in public squares and could read it in the pages of their local newspapers. Stories of the Declaration typically recount the work that took place inside the Continental Congress, focusing on the men tasked with drafting the text. Although Congress declared independence, the work of spreading the news involved printers, post riders, ship captains, civic leaders, soldiers, clerks, orators, preachers, diplomats, and translators. When the Declaration of Independence Was News reveals the stories behind how the Declaration was communicated in the United States and around the Atlantic. Tracing the travels of the founding document of the United States from Philadelphia to New York, Boston, Charleston, London, Leiden, Paris, and beyond, Emily Sneff shows how people both celebrated the Declaration and critiqued it. In the weeks after the document was penned, it was printed in the columns of newspapers, translated into German and French, and shared with Native American allies. The document induced some people to make public their privately held beliefs about whether they wanted the United States to be independent or to reconcile with King George III. The Declaration was met with unique circumstances everywhere it went, and people modified the text along the way. The questions of who experienced the news of independence, when, and how reveal an expansive and complex history of a critical moment in the American Revolution. Published for the 250th anniversary of American independence, When the Declaration of Independence Was News returns to a time before the legacy of these words and the outcome of the war against Great Britain were known to reconsider what the founding of the United States meant to the people who were living through it.

Welcome back to the history of South Africa podcast with me your host, Des Latham. This is episode 286 - Johannesburg is proclaimed but the flow of water and cash provs challenging. We'll start however, with the Orange Free State. Its president Johannes Brand was certainly carved from an original chunk of Boer marble — even the British empire recognized his magnificence, at least, Queen Victoria, who was knighted him. Brand was one of the main movers behind the first attempt at uniting the Boer Republics of the Transvaal and Orange Free State but the open hostility by Paul Kruger and the Burghers of the Transvaal scuttled his plans. President Brand had been voted into office in 1872 and for the next 20 years, the Free State was characterised by relative tranquility and modest prosperity. After Britain formally annexed Basutoland and Griqualand West, the Free State experienced a few ructions, but there was little friction between the Afrikaaners and their English compatriots. Brand was steadfast in his belief that the Republics should remain neutral when it came to Great Britain, while Paul Kruger's Transvaal was openly hostile to London. The Free State leader was a warded the Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George by Queen Victoria in 1882, turning Brand into Sir Johannes Brand. That rankled the still more. Kruger wanted utter independence, whereas Brand was willing to negotiate based on what was best for the Free State. A deeply religious man, Johannes Brand was extremely popular with the burghers of the Orange Free State, and his expression "alles zal recht komen als elkeen zijn plicht doet" (all will be well if everyone does his duty) is one of the most recognisable sayings of his presidency. Nor were there serious difficulties with black Free Staters, mainly because in the Free State, blacks had no rights and couldn't own land and avoided the territory. It wasn't like the Cape, where jobs abounded. In 1885, there were about an equal number of blacks and whites living in the Free State, with the independent Basutoland on the eastern border and territory around Thaba ‘Nchu prosperous under Basutho chief, Moroka the second. The Total population of the Free State in 1885 was 140 000 — smaller than most counties in England, which is amazing because the Free State was almost exactly the same size as the whole of England. Free State is 129 825 square kilometers, England is 130 279 square kilos. The Free State also lay directly between the Cape, which England controlled, and the Transvaal, which it thought of as a suzereignty. The reason for all this preamble is that railways were coming to South Africa, albeit slowly. In 1885, there were only 1 318 miles of track in operation and 1 213 of those were in the Cape, 115 miles in Natal. By contrast, 5 133 miles of track had been laid in Australia, and even New Zealand had longer lines - 1 486 miles. The new gold fields of the Witwatersrand were going to need railway lines urgently. By the end of July 1886 a crowd of 600 diggers had rushed to the district and had camped on two main farms, Turftontein and Doornfontein. Unlike the early rush to Kimberley, in this case there were no black diggers because of the discriminatory legislation prohibiting blacks from owning claims in the Transvaal. The South African Republic had passed a law in 1885 explicitly excluding blacks from buying or working their own claims or even dealing in precious stones and metals. They were practicing their race-based legislating for a much more refined version which would pop up in the 20th Century. But there was another reason which haunts Johannesburg to this day — there was very little water particularly during winter. Millions of litres were required to wash the ore and sieve the gold, no water, no mining. Providing water was going to cost a fortune, something beyond the cash flow of small operators.

September 1838. Der Raddampfer Forfarshire gerät vor den Farne Islands in einen schweren Sturm, läuft auf einen Felsen und bricht auseinander. Vom Leuchtturm auf Longstone Island entdeckt die 22-jährige Grace Darling die Überlebenden. Gemeinsam mit ihrem Vater William rudert sie durch die Brandung zum Wrack. In zwei Fahrten retten sie neun Menschen. Die Tochter eines Leuchtturmwärters wird über Nacht zur britischen Nationalheldin. In dieser Folge BRITPOD – England at its best spricht Alexander-Klaus Stecher mit Sir Richard Blackford über eine Komposition, die noch ganz am Anfang steht. Der vielfach ausgezeichnete britische Komponist entwickelt ein neues Werk für Brassband, das Grace Darlings Rettungsfahrt musikalisch erzählt: vom mechanischen Rhythmus der Dampfmaschine über deren Zusammenbruch bis zum Sturm, dem Aufbruch des kleinen Ruderboots und der Rettung auf offener See. Ausgangspunkt des Projekts ist das Vermächtnis von Blackfords verstorbener Tante. Sie lebte an der Küste Cornwalls und bedachte die britische Seenotrettungsorganisation RNLI in ihrem Testament. Ihre Verbundenheit mit den freiwilligen Seenotrettern brachte den Komponisten auf Grace Darling und auf die Frage, wie sich Mut, Gefahr und menschliche Entschlossenheit ohne Worte erzählen lassen. Richard Blackford beschreibt, weshalb die enorme Kraft einer Brassband für diese Geschichte besonders geeignet ist, wie Schlagwerk und Blechbläser Dampfmaschinen, Wellen und Sturm hörbar machen und warum Grace am Ende nicht als tragische Figur erscheinen soll. Obwohl sie nur vier Jahre nach der Rettung im Alter von 26 Jahren starb, soll ihr musikalisches Thema zu einem triumphalen Choral anwachsen: als Erinnerung an eine junge Frau, die ihr eigenes Leben riskierte, um andere zu retten.

DP Matt Ball on shooting Tucci in Italy Season 2, the challenges of journeying to remote regions over tourist spots, and capturing emotional moments on camera. Podcast highlights include: -How the show featured lesser-traveled regions like Sardinia, Le Marche, and rural Abruzzo to capture authentic regional culture. -Running a lean, self-contained crew for shoots in remote and hard-to-reach locations. The production has a "no egos allowed" policy where everyone — including Stanley Tucci himself — pitches in to make the day work. -Why what you see on screen is pretty close to what actually happened on the day, with editing driven mostly by time constraints rather than reshaping the story. -And a hint at the upcoming show, Tucci in Great Britain, exploring British food history, identity, and the influence of immigrant communities on the national cuisine.

Caesar Rodney is known for the many public offices he held in Delaware, and his famous ride on July 1, 1776 to cast the deciding vote declaring the U.S. independent from Great Britain.But like many founding fathers, Rodney was a slave owner and that part of his legacy led to a statue of him on Rodney Square in Wilmington to be removed in 2020 during a national reckoning with racism and police violence. This report confirms Rodney enslaved at least 26 people during his life.On this edition of History Matters, Delaware Public Media's Bente Boutiers sits down with Debbie Martin, Wilmington's Historic Preservation Planner, who worked on the report to learn more about it.

"Worlds Famous Orations Vol IV Great Britain - II," compiled by William Jennings Bryan and Francis Whiting Halsey, presents a curated collection of some of the most significant speeches from British speakers, spanning from 1781 to the mid-19th century. This volume captures the essence of oratory as a powerful tool for persuasion and reflection on national issues, beginning with discussions on the American War and culminating with insights into the "Trent" Affair. The themes of leadership, conflict, and the art of rhetoric remain relevant today, reminding us of the enduring impact of eloquent speech in shaping public opinion and historical narratives.

American Revolution (1765–1783) was a political conflict involving the Thirteen Colonies and Great Britain, culminating in the American Revolutionary War and the independence of the colonies as the United States.

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comIn this rare and in-depth interview, Max Spears - born in Great Britain and raised partly in the US - shares his claimed experiences as a “super soldier” involved in secret military and genetic programs.Max discusses Project Oak Tree (finding specific mothers for children born in the 1970s, linked to parallel programs sometimes called IBIS) and clarifies that many supposed alien abductions are actually military abductions (MILABs). False memories of ships or Mars are implanted while people are taken to underground bases (DUMBs).He describes vivid memories of traveling to Mars via “jump rooms,” including encounters involving a U.S. president figure, military personnel, a countdown screen (“30 seconds to Mars”), and being among groups of similarly built young men. He also recounts childhood training on Mars from ages 5–25 using age-regression technology that returned him to his original timeline with no conscious memory of the missing years. Jump-room locations in the Los Angeles area (Sepulveda Boulevard) are mentioned, along with connections to other whistleblowers.The conversation explores the difference between the Elohim (high-vibrational, long-lived angelic beings) and the Anunnaki (“people from the stars,” partially reptilian). Max examines ancient myths—Osiris, Isis, Horus, Set, and repeating solar cycles of birth, betrayal, and rebirth—linking them to modern symbolism, the Eye of Horus/One Eye motif, bloodlines, and the maintenance of duality on Earth. Topics include reptilian cast systems, opposing DNA lines (including long-term conflicts involving Aryan and certain Jewish lineages going back tens of thousands of years), Atlantis/Lemuria, Inner Earth (his claimed “Stonemight” origin and visits via Mount Shasta), the Moon as an artificial construct, cloning, age-regression technology, and multi-dimensional control (3D–5D).Further subjects covered: the illusion of free will and the “game” played by parasitic forces for the pleasures of the flesh; the ongoing war on the human heart; advice on death (“don't go to the light”); protection versus unity; implants; dissociative identities/alters; telekinesis and creator abilities that were allegedly hijacked; black magic and voodoo defenses; and the current window of opportunity to break a long time-loop that last collapsed around the fall of Atlantis 13,000 years ago.Max stresses that higher-frequency beings are incarnating now for a final choice between light and dark, warns of efforts to install a Baal/Lucifer figure, and encourages speaking openly, conferences, and wider media reach to activate encoded memories in others. He closes by thanking key supporters who helped him through trauma and mind-control-related challenges.A wide-ranging discussion of secret space programs, ancient bloodline wars, multi-dimensional realities, and the battle for human consciousness.

The Jewish People have the power to bring blessing to this world more than anyone else. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed "Bohemian Rhapsody".

Can PM Andy Burnham Bring Realism To No.10? Black Spy Podcast number 257 Season 26, Episode 0005 In this week's critical thinking episode, Carlton states why Prime Minister Andy Burnham must pivot Great Britain away from the shadows of its imperial past and align its ambitions with its present reality. Carlton argues that Burnham must focus on revitalizing the UK from within, rather than trying to maintain a global role that no longer fits the UK's current economic and military standing. The podcast highlights that the UK must abandon the superficial idea of simply relocating a few functions to the North and instead emulate countries like Germany, which has multiple regional centres of excellence. This would mean creating strong, economically diverse hubs throughout the nation, beyond London's traditional dominance. Moreover, Burnham must seriously reform the UK's devolution structure, ensuring that it is not just a token gesture but a meaningful redistribution of authority and resources. The importance of supporting the police force is also emphasized, as they are the true frontline of order, and neglecting them could lead to societal instability. Ultimately, Carlton argues that Andy Burnham must prioritize domestic issues, pulling the focus away from international posturing and instead working to strengthen the UK's foundations at home. This, Carlton explains, is the path to a more stable and prosperous future. So listen now to The Black Spy Podcast and be entertained as you simultaneously learn.

Liebe kann einen Menschen tragen, ein Lebenswerk ermöglichen oder eine ganze Monarchie erschüttern. In Großbritanniens Geschichte finden sich dafür kaum eindrucksvollere Beispiele als Queen Victoria und Prinz Albert, Charles und Emma Darwin sowie Edward VIII. und Wallis Simpson. In dieser Folge BRITPOD – England at its best erzählen Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling von drei Beziehungen, die weit über das Private hinauswirkten. Victoria fand in Albert nicht nur ihren Ehemann, sondern ihren engsten Berater. Gemeinsam prägten sie das Bild der königlichen Familie, förderten Bildung und Fortschritt und machten Orte wie Osborne House und Balmoral zu familiären Rückzugsorten. Als Albert 1861 mit nur 42 Jahren starb, zog sich Victoria über Jahre aus der Öffentlichkeit zurück und trug bis zu ihrem Tod Schwarz. Ganz anders beginnt die Ehe von Charles Darwin und Emma Wedgwood: mit einer nüchternen Liste über die Vor- und Nachteile des Heiratens. Doch aus Darwins Abwägung wurde eine vier Jahrzehnte währende Partnerschaft. Emma gab seinem von Krankheit und Zweifeln geprägten Leben Halt, unterstützte seine wissenschaftliche Arbeit und blieb ihm verbunden, obwohl seine Evolutionstheorie ihrem tiefen christlichen Glauben widersprach. Die berühmteste Geschichte aber kostet einen König die Krone. Edward VIII. entscheidet sich 1936 für Wallis Simpson und gegen den Thron. Seine Abdankung verändert die britische Thronfolge und ebnet indirekt den Weg für die spätere Queen Elizabeth II. Doch die romantische Erzählung vom König, der alles für die Liebe aufgibt, hat auch eine dunklere Seite: Exil, familiäre Isolation, politische Irrwege und eine Frau, der die Öffentlichkeit jahrzehntelang die Hauptschuld an der Krise gab. Drei große britische Liebesgeschichten über Nähe, Loyalität und den Preis persönlicher Entscheidungen. WhatsApp: Du kannst Alexander und Claus direkt auf ihre Handys Nachrichten schicken!

Today on the Two Mikes our guest is Professor Edward Dutton, whose extremely popular Substack is called “The Jolly Heretic”. Dr. Dutton has been with us several times previously and we are grateful for his return. Professor Dutton “enjoys researching and writing and speaking about controversial subjects” he can be contacted at e.c.dutton@dunelm.org.uk, and followed on Twitter @jollyheretic. An array of his many books can be seen at: https://edwarddutton.com/index.php/books/ Professor Dutton said today that the late British Queen, Elizabeth II and her family brought their talents to bear while ruling Great Britain and managed to destroy the nation in the process. She reigned in an era in which she allowed the creation and aided in the creation and maintenance of a parallel society in Britain, a society which led to the breakdown of the British police and awarded seemingly endless privileges to immigrant groups that were entering the county illegally. In turn these groups voted not for particular policies, but along the lines of sectarian ambitions for power. These newcomers proved that they could take over the ancient nation to which they migrated and bring in laws dedicated only to protecting their group and other foreign groups that entered the country – legally or illegally – to eventually create a voting machine that all but abandoned British nationals and their families, but delivered much of the power sought by the foreigners. Unwanted, unneeded, and often illegal foreign immigrants to Great Britain, and created a population that has no real contact with traditional British society, intends to dominate it, and created a belief system that has spread across Great Britain and now stands as an evolved, violently anti-British society that shows no signs of having had its day. Indeed, it appears that traditional Britain has seen its day and is only awaiting the arrival of a large casket/ Professor Dutton added that this situation is made worse for everyday Britons by the presence of so many youngish liberal women as the leaders of groups that champion of the various bankrupting government programs demanded by the immigrant crowd. These women – and this is the norm across much of the Western World – see their places at the helm of this proliferating disaster as an unquestionable right, and hey they have very little backbone when it comes to the application of the strength or force that is needed to thwart the worst of the newcomer's demands. Instead these women display their normal blindness to the fact that at times you have to be cruel to be kind so as to make it possible for society to prosper without useless, violent, or mad individuals do not control the country's affairs. In order the human components of Britain's new society – perhaps, at some point, even peaceful -- these women go along to get along with the anti-British foreigners, people for whom heresy from their political goals is worse than the murders they commit.

...in which we ramble up remote Liddesdale in the extreme north-east of Cumbria to uncover the remarkable history of a unique independent territory transformed into a bloody borderland. In the company of author and academic Graham Robb we set out from Kershopefoot along the trackbed of the historic Waverley Line, taking in the landscape of the once-unique enclave between England and Scotland; an uninhabited ‘batable' grazing land bounded by the rivers Liddel, Esk and Sark that formed a buffer zone between often warring nations. Stepping into the Scottish Borders, we discuss the popular perception of the ‘reiving' families who lived around this anomalous territory – the Elliots, Armstrongs and Grahams – and the raids that saw cattle rustled and fortified peel towers set ablaze. Surveying moorland and scattered woods to rising Tinnis Hill, Graham outlines a parallel history; one of stability, in which a raid was not thuggery, but a coming-of-age ritual/form of trade in an advanced pastoral society with strict Border laws that kept the peace for 1,500 years. Passing meadows with folds and dips that made ideal hiding places for rogues and raiders, we move into the mid-1500s, when the English and Scots crowns orchestrated a plan to carve up the Debatable Land by making lawlessness legal, preparing the ground for characters like ballad outlaw Kinmont Willie and the sadistic Duke of Buccleuch to conduct reigns of terror. Closing in on Liddel Water, we learn about the end of the Debatable Land, and the “astonishingly beautiful and accurate map” (below) that recorded the establishment of what Graham argues is “the oldest detectable territorial division in Great Britain”. Reflecting on the violent excesses that wiped the one-time grazing lands from the map, Graham discusses the long shadow cast by imperial colonialism, the persistent discomfort over cross-border marriage and the independent spirit that lingers in border folk. We close with our quickfire questions, where Graham recalls a relationship-testing ascent of Swirral Edge, waxes lyrical about the definitive descriptions of Cumbrian rain in Rogue Herries and notes the advice he was given before moving into the borderlands – to “leave the pub by 9.30 at the latest”. The Debatable Land: The Lost World Between Scotland and England is published by Picador.

Speedy Gonzalez would love playing a round of golf with newly-crowned Open Championship winner Ryan Fox. A round of golf at last week’s British Open at Royal Birkdale averaged a snooze-worthy 5 ½ hours.  Don’t blame the weather.  All four days of this year’s event were played under benign conditions.  No rain or high winds affected play. The final player on the golf course on Sunday was a relative unknown named Ryan Fox. The native New Zealander was already tied with clubhouse leader Cameron Young at 9-under par as he sized-up an 11 foot birdie putt to win the tournament.  A massive throng of British fans surrounded the green to watch the drama unfold. It took 39-year old Ryan Fox (seeking just his third professional victory) just 22 seconds to line-up and execute the most important putt of his golfing career.  He drained the birdie putt, won the Claret Jug trophy, and captured (on paper) more than $3.2 million in first prize money. Unfortunately, the British government absconded with nearly 45% of his payday.  The take home pay for the new “Champion Golfer of the Year” was sliced to $1.76 million. Great Britain’s His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs group had already pilfered $1.44 million on behalf of the host country’s bank account. And you thought the I.R.S. was tough? Ryan Fox has now become the people’s champion to help end slow play! Weekend warriors at public golf courses are monitored by an oft-times surly roving ranger who tries to keep rounds at four hours or less. Wouldn’t it be nice to see a 4-hour pace of play in professional golf? Why should professional golfers (who require significantly fewer shots, utilize personal caddies and play with the latest high-tech equipment and golf balls) take 25% longer than a player who requires 30% more swings? New Zealand native Ryan Fox is the exact opposite of today’s sloth-like pro golfers.  He is already thinking about his next shot while moving toward the golf ball. Fox said, “The less time I have to think about it, the less bad stuff can creep in there.”  He added, “It’s not that difficult to pick a shot and pick a club.” Indeed! It must be maddening for Ryan Fox to play golf with many other professional golfers who seem to agonize over every single shot. Sure, today’s “Slow Poke Pro Golfer Brigade” tries to defend its slower pace of play by saying the higher tournament payouts require more time to consider each shot. The Slow Pokes would chuckle and say that you, too, would take longer if standing over a $1.4 million putt (the difference between a first and second place finish) for a major championship win. Oops!  That analogy just went down the drain.  Speedy Ryan Fox stepped right up and sank the winning putt on hole #18 in just 22 seconds on Sunday. Other golfers have taken note of Ryan Fox’ faster pace. PGA golfer Min Woo Lee played with Fox in an earlier round.  He was excited for Ryan Fox’s victory and the message it should send to golfers at all levels. Lee said, “He just plays his own game, and that’s something that everyone can learn.  Whenever a fast player wins, it’s the greatest thing ever!” Should we blame the greatest golfer of all time for today’s slow play? Jack Nicklaus is best remembered for his 18 major championships and being one of the most focused golfers of all time. The Golden Bear had a tendency to stand over his putts for what felt like an eternity during his heyday in the 1960’s and 70’s. Nicklaus famously received a two stroke penalty for slow play during his first year as a professional golfer in 1962. A rules official at the Portland (Oregon) Open gave Nicklaus a two-shot penalty for failing to speed-up his play during the second round of that tournament. The PGA official told him, “Jack, you can take as long as you want when you’re over the golf ball, but be ready when it’s your turn!” Nicklaus had believed that it was poor etiquette to prep for his next shot when it wasn’t officially his turn to play. Jack Nicklaus ended up winning the tournament in Portland by six shots.  He said he learned a valuable lesson from being penalized for slow play. Lee Trevino is the same age (86) as Nicklaus.  He laughed about his friend receiving that two-shot penalty for slow play in 1962. “It didn’t make a difference.  But at least they had the guts to penalize a superstar!” Trevino (winner of six major titles) was one of the fastest golfers of his generation.  Lee made a number of suggestions to improve the pace of play. Golfers should take two or less waggles prior to beginning their backswing.  They should be required to putt-out on every green without marking their golf ball again.  Trevino was one of the earliest advocates of “Ready golf”.  That means that the first player ready to hit the ball should go right ahead. Former European Tour star Colin Montgomerie won 54 professional events – mostly in Europe.  He had a second place finish at the Open Championship, the Masters, and the US Open. Monty (who plays on the PGA Champions Tour today) ripped into the slow play seen at last week’s major championship. “TV hates it and specatators hate it,” he voiced.  “Too long is the chat between the caddie and the player…it goes on forever!  The (yardage) book comes out. How many times do they get that bloody book out?” Is it time for pro golfers to ditch their caddies? The role of a professional golf caddie has grown significantly in the past half century.  A caddie originally just toted a heavy 40-pound bag of clubs for five miles every round for a sometimes temperamental golfer. Today’s caddies now function as the chief meteorologist (wind speed and direction) and sports psychologist (“Stay in the moment!”). Many of the top professional golf caddies earn $500,000 per year or more for their efforts. Most receive a weekly minimum payday from $1,500 to $3,000 plus a sliding percentage of the player’s earnings from the week’s golf tournament. The caddie for Open Championship winner Ryan Fox was expected to receive a 10% share of the winner’s check. I wonder if the caddie’s $320,000 earnings were taxed by the Brits, too? Perhaps we may soon see an AI-based rolling golf bag cart to follow the players around. It could spew yardages, provide wind speeds and directions, and offer encouraging words to the golfer.  Especially those who just dumped their approach shot into a lake in front of the green! Too much time is being wasted in conversations between today’s pro golfers and their caddies prior to nearly every shot.  There is zero evidence that the additional time spent in consultation has resulted in lower scoring in professional golf. Let’s fix it!  Penalties to dock the golfer’s paycheck are the most effective way to increase speed of play This weekend, I watched as one pro golfer marked his golf ball less than six inches away from the hole rather than just tapping it in. I kid you not.  The distance about the width of his hand. Most golfers wear spikeless shoes.  It shouldn’t matter if the player briefly stepped into the line of his playing partner in order to quickly complete that short putt. This seemed like a perfect example of today’s slothful play. Slow play has been fostered by a lack of tough rules and a lack of enforcement. The United States Golf Association (USGA) rules do not spend a lot of space addressing the pace of play. However, Rule 5.6 was adopted to limit golfers to 40 seconds to make a stroke after the player is ready to hit. Let’s say that Rory McIlroy has just completed his second shot from the fairway.  Now it’s now my turn.  Rule 5.6 states that I should complete my shot within 40 seconds after Rory’s golf ball coming to rest. Pro tip – Put a stopwatch on any golfer while you watch a PGA or LPGA event.  Most will hit their tee shots in the allotted 40-second time.  However, more than half will exceed 40 seconds on every subsequent shot until they complete the hole. Did you know that there is already a (human) walking scorer assigned to follow each group in men’s and women’s professional golf tournaments? The PGA and other pro tours can and should provide a stopwatch to the scorer to record the time for each golfer’s shot.  That information (in addition to the golfer’s score) could be reported after every hole. Upon the first violation, a rules official should advise the player that they are being warned about slow play.  Every subsequent 40-second violation should come with a one-shot penalty for that hole. Players receiving two or more penalties during a round of golf will quickly get the picture.  I wouldn’t be surprised if tournament scoring might be just as good or even better than today. Newly crowned Open Champion Ryan Fox would heartily agree! The problem (much like in politics) is getting the PGA and LPGA to pass rules providing for specific penalties enforcing the pace of play It is akin to seeing someone in the US House or Senate voluntarily introduce a bill on term limits or to require a balanced federal budget. Should it happen?  Yes.  Will it happen?  Not if the players have their way. Enforcing the pace of play with legitimate penalties will also have a trickle down effect.  Increased speed of play on the golf course will improve college, high school, and junior golf, too. With less wasted time, more people might consider playing golf again.  That would translate into more revenue for golf courses! If Ryan Fox can help bring an end to slow play in professional golf, then consider me one of his biggest fans.

Most men can tell you exactly how much their business made last month. They can tell you their team's performance metrics and their year-on-year growth figures. But ask them what they actually want from their life in the next three to five years — and they have no idea. This is not a motivation problem. It is a structure problem. And in this episode, I break down the three specific reasons why high-performing men cannot visualise what they want — and what to do about each one. Inside this episode: •Why your identity being tied to your career leaves no bandwidth to think about your actual life •The 180-degree model flip: from building your life around your career to building your career around your life •What "white-knuckling through life" really means — and why it makes personal vision impossible •Why structure, routine, and systems are not restrictions — they are the thing that gets your head above water •The pace boat concept: why being behind the standard of your own life keeps you in permanent survival mode •How to go from 80% of your time and energy in the business to 60% in the rest of your life •Why you are either in the cooking pot or the person steering it — and how to get to the right side •What stopping the toleration of chaos, lower standards, and overwork actually looks like in practice •The Great Britain rowing team analogy: why slowing down and getting structured is how you sprint ahead You only get one life. Stop swimming in the same shit and start building a personal mission worth waking up for.

The UK gets its seventh prime minister in the last decade. In a familiar ceremony, Keir Starmer, who was ousted by his own Labour Party tendered his resignation to King Charles at Buckingham Palace. The party's new leader, Andy Burnham, was then given an audience with the King who invited Burnham to form a new government. We learn about Burnham, whose political career has been shaped by England's North-South divide.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Today, we travel through Vermont in search of a family curse, a legendary lake creature, the ghost stories surrounding a terrible railroad disaster, and a group of mineral springs that seemed to resist every attempt to turn them into a business. Some parts of these stories are supported by historical records. Others belong entirely to folklore. Together, they reveal how real people, places, and tragedies can become legends passed down for generations. Long before Vermont had its present name or boundaries, Indigenous people lived throughout the region. Archaeological evidence shows that people were living in the Champlain Valley thousands of years ago. Over time, small seasonal camps developed into more permanent communities along the lakes and rivers. The Western Abenaki were among the Native peoples whose homeland included what is now Vermont. Lake Champlain provided food, transportation, and spiritual meaning, while rivers such as the Winooski and Missisquoi connected communities throughout the region. In 1609, Samuel de Champlain became the first European known to have set foot in what would become Vermont. Contrary to a frequently repeated claim, there is no reliable evidence that Jacques Cartier visited Vermont in 1535. The French built Fort Sainte Anne on Isle La Motte in 1666, creating Vermont's first European settlement. France eventually lost control of the region to Great Britain in 1763. Vermont then declared itself an independent republic in 1777 before joining the United States on March 4, 1791, as the fourteenth state. That long and complicated history created the perfect setting for stories in which fact and folklore are rarely far apart...

Headline: Mosquito Empires and the Ecology of the Slave Trade Guest: Professor Peter Frankopan Book Title:The Earth Transformed: An Untold History Frankopan discusses the "mosquito empires" of the 17th and 18th centuries, where malaria and yellow fever dictated colonial limits. West Africa became known as the "white man's grave" due to high European mortality rates. Ironically, the transatlantic slave trade was partially driven by the genetic resistance to malaria found in some West African populations, making them "desirable" to colonizers for labor in malarial zones like North Carolina. The prosperity of Great Britain was built upon this exploitative African trade, alongside the extraction of silver, sugar, and tobacco from the Americas. Frankopan notes that new crops like potatoes and cassava also allowed for higher calorie provision, further fueling these labor forces. Furthermore, he touches upon the "Great Divergence," noting that Britain's eventual global dominance required the creation of resilient institutions and a powerful navy. Interestingly, the decline of indigenous populations in the Americas led to a period of significant reforestation and atmospheric change in the 1600s. (5)LITTLE JOE RIVER, IDAHO

Just in time for America's 250th birthday, follow Dan Taberski (Hysterical, 9/12, Missing Richard Simmons) as he sets off on his most complicated quest yet: to reclaim the manifesto and write his own. Dan attempts to rescue the manifesto as a form from the sweaty clutches of cynical politicians and mass shooters and return it to its rightful place: with the artists, the warriors, the visionaries, and the mildly crazy regular folks with something to say, the passion to say it, and the courage to do something about it. From Audible Originals and Please & Thanks Productions, this 6-part series explores the power of the manifesto and asks: Can we get inspired again… and can we do it without a bullet?Listen to Dan Taberski's Manifesto wherever you get your podcasts.

The reign of James II and the Glorious Revolution was a central part of the national story built by Whig historians. But since the 20th century the picture has been heavily revised with new perspectives, such as the view from all three kingdoms, a more nuanced view of James and his intentions, criticisms of the idea of a bloodless revolution, how much the voice of the people mattered - and was it a Revolution at all? Or a conserative assertion of ancient right? This episode is about James and the historiography Glorious Revolution. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
