And others are injured, like this man who had his face torn apart in a Russian attack. His wounds - possibly caused by flying shards of glass - had to be treated with dozens of stitches. The past week has seen some of the most serious Russian attacks since the beginning of the war. Peace? Not to be seen in Ukraine. Gesicht des Krieges. In Moskau verhandeln Russen und Amerikaner. In Rom, beim Begräbnis des Papstes, schieben Donald Trump und Wolodymyr Selenskyj ihre Stühle zusammen. In London versucht man, eine Friedenstruppe zu entwerfen. Und in Kiew? Fallen weiter die Bomben. Werden weiter Menschen getötet. Und andere verletzt, wie dieser Mann, dem es bei einem russischen Angriff das Gesicht zerfetzt hat.

The Trump administration's "Liberation Day" saw baseline and reciprocal tariffs levied on over 50 different countries, with President Trump arguing this move will force other nations to the negotiating table to make trade fair again for our country. Now, reports are circulating that a number of those countries are in talks to make a trade deal with the U.S. FOX Business Host of Making Money Charles Payne joins the Rundown to discuss the complexity of these ongoing trade negotiations, American consumers' tendency towards buying cheap products from China, and the need for a bipartisan approach to reviving U.S. manufacturing.

I'm Bryan Kam. I endeavour daily to make philosophy accessible and relevant. To that end I write this newsletter and host a podcast called Clerestory. I'm also writing a book called Neither/Nor and I'm a founding member of Liminal Learning. In London, I host a book club, a writing group, and other events. My work looks at how abstract concepts relate to embodied life, and how to use this understanding to transform experience.Recently, I had a conversation with Haneen Khan, a sex coach and fellow thinker, about the relationship between abstract thinking and embodied experience. The Nature of Abstraction and ExperienceWe began by discussing the academic paper which Isabela Granic and I recently submitted, which describes my philosophy Neither/Nor. The paper and the forthcoming book focus on the relationship between experience and abstraction, or theory and practice. The paper critiques what we term “latent Platonism,” an unconscious tendency to prioritize abstract, theoretical constructs over direct, embodied experience. This can reveal itself in conversation, for example, when sharing about an uncomfortable experience can lead an interlocutor to leap to broad generalizations rather than discussing the experience itself.The Need for Balance and AwarenessThroughout our conversation, we emphasized the importance of balancing abstract reasoning with experiential knowledge. Haneen and I agree that awareness is key — awareness of when we're gravitating too heavily towards abstraction at the expense of our felt experiences (or, less frequently, vice versa).Haneen shared valuable insights from her coaching practice, emphasizing the power of grounding practices that help individuals reconnect with their bodies and emotions. This balance, or oscillation as we've termed it, is crucial for a holistic understanding of the self.Abstraction, while powerful, can become a tool of escapism or avoidance if unanchored by embodied awareness. Maintaining a strong connection to one's felt experience, on the other hand, can enrich not only personal wellbeing but also interpersonal interactions.Integration: A Path ForwardWe concluded by emphasizing integration — a synthesis of experiential and conceptual wisdom — as a winding path forward. This integration offers a potential solution to the pitfalls inherent in each mode of understanding when pursued in isolation. Concepts like Internal Family Systems Therapy illustrate such an integration, offering a framework where conceptual understanding aids emotional and physical awareness.I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this topic: How do you navigate the balance between abstraction and experience in your daily life? Let me know in the comments.BryanP.S. If this conversation resonated with you, please share it with someone who might benefit from it.

In London hätte sich am Mittwoch eine hochrangige Ministerrunde treffen sollen, um über die Rahmenbedingunen für ein Ende des Kriegs in der Ukraine zu beraten. Weil US-Aussenminister Marco Rubio kurzfristig absagte, fand das Treffen auf niedrigerer Stufe statt. Ausserdem: Corine Mauch tritt bei den Wahlen 2026 nicht mehr für Zürcher Stadtpräsidium an. Am Mittwoch hat die SP bekannt gegeben, wen sie für die Nachfolge Mauchs ins Rennen schickt. Es sind Mandy Abou Shoak, eine junge Frau mit Migrationshintergrund und Raphael Golta, der als Kronfavorit gilt. Die Schweiz investiert viel in neue Freihandelsabkommen mit südostasiatischen Ländern wie Indonesien, Thailand, Malaysia oder Vietnam. Doch ein Blick in die Statistik zeigt: mit all diesen Ländern betreibt die Schweiz effektiv nur wenig Handel. Lohnen sich die Abkommen dennoch für die Schweiz?

Introduction

Bis 2055 dürfte die Wohnbevölkerung in der Schweiz laut Prognosen auf 10,5 Millionen Menschen anwachsen. Wachsen wird vor allem die Bevölkerungsgruppe im Rentenalter. Bei der Gruppe der Erwerbstätigen sieht es hingegen durchzogen aus. Weitere Themen: Nirgendwo in der Schweiz leben so viele Menschen im Pensionsalter wie im Tessin. Und das spüren vor allem die Jungen. So gibt es beispielsweise kaum Freiräume, wo sich Jugendliche ohne Konsumzwang treffen können. Der Verein Realta Giovanili will das ändern. In London beraten derzeit rund 20 Staaten über eine Lösung der Sudan-Krise. Aufgrund des tobenden Bürgerkriegs sind in dem Land nach wie vor Millionen Menschen auf der Flucht. Frauen und Kinder leiden in besonderem Masse. Was ist von der Konferenz in London zu erwarten?

Schienennetz der Bahn: Verfall vorerst gestoppt. In London ringen mehrere Länder um eine Lösung für den Sudan. Der Bundesrechnungshof moniert die Haushaltspläne der künftigen Regierung. Von Jutta Hammann.

It was a big week for true crime and the Red Scare. In Sydney, Roger Rogerson's future hero, Detective-Sergeant Ray ‘the Gunner' Kelly, was in court and explaining how and why he'd shot another criminal dead. In London, the cops caught serial killer John Christie, which meant they'd sent an innocent man to the gallows for two murders. In a weird coincidence, a similar failure of justice was about to play out in Adelaide, where serial monster John Balaban had already been set free by the courts to kill again. Meanwhile, the Red Scare was at fever pitch, with leftist Aussies protesting against the imminent execution in the US of convicted Soviet spies Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Also in the US under McCarthyism, academic freedom was under attack at Columbia University. But this wasn't nearly as racy as what McCarthy's attack dog Roy Cohn was doing, with President Trump's future hero making Australian headlines for his rabid anti-Commie tactics.For a free trial that will give you access to ad-free, early and bonus episodes:Patreon: patreon.com/forgottenaustraliaApple: apple.co/forgottenaustraliaCheck out my books:They'll Never Hold Me:https://www.booktopia.com.au/they-ll-never-hold-me-michael-adams/book/9781923046474.htmlThe Murder Squad:https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-murder-squad-michael-adams/book/9781923046504.htmlHanging Ned Kelly:https://www.booktopia.com.au/hanging-ned-kelly-michael-adams/book/9781922992185.htmlAustralia's Sweetheart:https://www.booktopia.com.au/australia-s-sweetheart-michael-adams/book/9780733640292.htmlEmail: forgottenaustraliapodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

In London, and towns like Oxford, the Protectorate saw the return of stability, economic change and a revived social scene - and the arrival of the Coffee house, and the penny university. Stability and old rythmns re-established themslves around the country, and royalists reacted in different ways. Some like the L'Estrange family in North Norfolk preserved the old ways and accepted the new, though rattled by the Decimation tax. Others found artistic responses - like Katherine Philips, Izaak Walton, and Margaret Cavendish Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In London, people are PAYING to get away from their phones for a few hours... what to know about these "offline" events.

It was an absolute joy to welcome actor, director, producer and writer Mario van Peebles to The Cinematologists Podcast. In London to show his new film Outlaw Posse as part of the Black Rodeo season at the BFI, I was able to talk with him and his son Mandela, who also stars in the film, about his lifelong interest in Westerns, particularly in the often cliched, often forgotten role of African American's in the Western mythos. Outlaw Posse is more of a companion piece than a sequel to his 1993 film Posse; this new work mines similar territory with its generic rawness infused with social commentary but with a kinetic direction that embraces spectacle. The conversation also covers the van Peebles' legacy; Mario's father Melvin one of the true blaxploitation pioneers, director of the now recognised classic Sweet Sweetback's Baadass Song; Mario's own journey in the industry, from his big break in Clint Eastwood's Heartbreak Ridge to his own seminal work as director of New Jack City. Neil and I discuss how wonderfully open and insightful Mario and Mandela were in the interview and further explore his perhaps under-appreciated body of work. We discuss the influence of New Jack City thinking about how that film triggered the New Black Cinema movement and influenced the aesthetics of 80s and 90s filmmaking in its wake. _________ For extra bonus content, including extended interviews, bonus podcast and our monthly newsletter consider joining our Patreon community: www.patreon.com/cinematoloigists   _________ You can listen to The Cinematologists for free, wherever you listen to podcasts: click here to follow.

Der 84-jährige Paul Willi blickt auf eine grosse Karriere zurück. Der einstige Herren- und Damen Coiffeur aus Biberist (SO) schaffte in Australien den Sprung zum angesehenen Fach-Experten für Haarpflegeprodukte des grössten Kosmetik-herstellers der Welt. Als gelernter Herren- und Damen Coiffeur wählte Paul Willi meist die schlechten Stelleninserate aus: «Ich hatte als junger Mann wenig Selbstvertrauen, so begann meine Karriere in einem kleinen Herrensalon in Bettlach.» Auf Drängen seiner Schwester und des Schwagers, besuchte er dann doch eine Coiffeur Fachschule in Luzern. Es war das Sprungbrett in die grosse Welt. 1968 reiste Paul Wili nach London, um in einem Herrensalon sein Können unter Beweis zu stellen: «Ich konnte kein Wort englisch und sagte dann immer «Long or Short Hair» zu den Kunden.» Paul Willi war fasziniert vom Londoner Lebensstil. Einmal begegnete er sogar den Beatles: «Sie liefen an mir vorbei!» In London lernte er später auch seine australische Frau Brenda kennen. Die beiden wanderten Anfang der 1970er Jahre nach Australien aus und gründeten eine Familie: «Die erste Zeit lebten wir in einem kleinen Haus mit Blechdach in Newcastle. Das war am Anfang ein Kulturschock.» Im Ort, fand Paul Willi Arbeit in einem kleinen Damensalon: «Als Mann war es damals schwierig in Australien eine Arbeit als Coiffeur zu finden. Zumal die Männer mehr verdienten als Frauen.» Ein Vertreter von Pflegeprodukten wurde auf den Schweizer aufmerksam und Paul Willi wurde schon bald ebenso Vertreter von Haarprodukten für einen der heute grössten Kosmetikkonzerne der Welt. Als Fachexperte machte er sich rasch einen Namen und war für ganz Australien verantwortlich. Bis zu seiner Pensionierung bereiste er mit seiner Familie die Welt: «Wir lebten in Neuseeland, Tahiti, in Bombay, Paris oder Wien.» Heute nimmt es Paul Willi gemütlich. Mit seiner Frau Brenda besitzen sie ein schmuckes Haus in Elanora an der Gold Coast von Queensland. «Elanora ist ein fantastischer Ort zum Leben» Das Haus von Paul und Brenda Willi liegt direkt an einem See: «Wir gehen oft mit dem Kajak raus, gehen regelmässig schwimmen und geniessen ein feines Frühstück auf der Veranda.» Im Herzen, sagt Paul Willi, sei er bis heute ein Schweizer: «Die Schweiz wird immer meine Heimat sein!» Regelmässig studiert er gar die Webcams: «Ob Zürich, St. Moritz oder Genf, ich weiss immer, wie die Stimmung in der Schweiz ist.»

Es ist Mittwoch, der 19. Mai 1915. In London eröffnet das größte Hotel Europas mit 1.028 Zimmern: das Regent Palace Hotel. Wer hier übernachtet, zeigt Stil und Status. Heute sind die Hotelzimmer längst Geschichte, doch das Gebäude hat nichts von seinem Glanz verloren. Es beherbergt einen der angesagtesten kulinarischen Hotspots der Stadt: die Brasserie Zédel. -- Mitten in London, direkt am Piccadilly Circus, trifft britischer Charme auf französisches Lebensgefühl: Die Brasserie Zédel ist eine Hommage an die goldenen Zeiten der Pariser Bistros. Unsere England-Abenteurer Alexander-Klaus Stecher und Claus Beling haben an diesem legendären Ort tatsächlich einen Tisch ergattert – Glück gehabt, denn ohne Reservierung? Keine Chance! Die prunkvolle Inneneinrichtung mit ihren klassischen Art-déco-Lampen und imposanten Marmorsäulen wurde vom Magazin “Architecture Today” als „die wohl beste und authentischste Art-déco-Serie der 1930er-Jahre“ bezeichnet. Doch was verbirgt sich hinter der langen Treppe im Zédel? Welche Verbindung gibt es zur britischen Königsfamilie? Und ganz praktisch: Wie schmeckt das Essen im Zédel wirklich? Alexander und Claus liefern Antworten – mit kulinarischen Anekdoten, historischen Details und persönlichen Eindrücken. Doch London ist weit mehr als nur ein Ort für glamouröse Restaurants: Es ist eine Stadt der kulinarischen Vielfalt, in der Geschichte und Genuss aufeinandertreffen. Und so endet dieser Abend in einem der schönsten Pubs der Stadt: dem King's Arms. Dunkles Holz, gedämpftes Licht – eine Atmosphäre, wie man sie nur in England findet. BRITPOD. England at its Best. -- WhatsApp: Du kannst Alexander und Claus direkt auf ihre Handys Nachrichten schicken! Welche Ecke Englands sollten die beiden mal besuchen?

Two centuries ago, London school reformer Joseph Lancaster swept into New York City to revolutionize its public schools. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts passed laws mandating Lancaster's methods, and cities such as Albany, Savannah, Detroit, and Baltimore soon followed. In Mr. Lancaster's System: The Failed Reform That Created America's Public Schools (Johns Hopkins UP, 2024), Adam Laats tells the story of how this abusive, scheming reformer fooled the world into believing his system could provide free high-quality education for poor children. The system never worked as promised, but thanks to real work done by students, teachers, and families, Lancaster's failed reforms eventually led to the creation of the modern public school system. Lancaster's idea was simple: instead of hiring expensive adult teachers, Lancasterian schools made children teach one another to read, write, and behave properly. America's city leaders poured the equivalent of millions of dollars into the scheme, built specialized school buildings featuring Lancaster's teaching machines, and offered him a huge salary. In London, where Lancaster opened his first school, the enthusiasm of city leaders was quickly and similarly followed by scandal and dismay. Lancaster borrowed money—even from the king of England—and spent it on fancy carriage rides and cases of champagne. Even worse, Lancaster proved to be a sexual predator. Kicked out of London, Lancaster brought his simplistic plan to the United States. His school model didn't work any better in US cities than it had in London, and Lancaster himself never changed his abusive ways. Mr. Lancaster's System details how American cities created their first public schools out of the wreckage of Lancasterian failure. In the end, the most important people in this story are not self-proclaimed geniuses like Lancaster or elites like New York's mayor De Witt Clinton, but rather the thousands of parents and children who forced urban public schools to assume their modern shape. Adam Laats is a professor of education and history at Binghamton University. He taught high school for many years in Milwaukee and is the author of The Other School Reformers and Fundamentalist U. Max Jacobs is a PhD student in education at Rutgers University. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dark money for dark times Nick Cohen talks to investigative reporter & author Peter Geoghegan, the UK's leading journalist exposing the dark money and cash from right wing extremist billionaires that's been driving UK politics since the ill-fated 2016 Brexit referendum.Brexit & Trump-related funding that have poisoned UK & U.S. politics Peter @PeterKGeoghegan explains how Donald Trump's election victories, Brexit and the failed Liz Truss experiment have helped fuel a crackpot anglocentric extremist right wing movement that has taken root either side of the Atlantic. In London, Tufton Street so-called "think tanks" a-wash with dark money mainly from U.S. billionaires and corporations have been influencing UK politics - helping to drive a number of right wing culture wars from climate denial & Europe to Ukraine and the NHS.This UK-U.S. phenomena was recently best exposed by the "National Conservatism Conference" in London in May 2023 which heard from a number of extreme right voices from either side of the Pond. Peter tells Nick: "You have a growing link between that sort of Trumpist right, the MAGA right, and ... the Right to the Conservative Party, Robert Jenrick, Liz Truss, people like that, all have strong links."Farage, Reform and the Elon Musk fanboyPeter says even if Trump stooge Elon Musk does not or cannot make good on his promise to bung Nigel Farage & his Reform gang a reported £100 million, the story has already boosted the radical right in the UK.Labour doing "sweet F.A" as dark money floods inBut Peter is despondent about the prospects of stopping foreign cash fuelling extremist politics in the UK. The Tories castrated the Electoral Commission, & Sir Keir Starmer shows no appetite to tackle the issue. Peter says Labour will reportedly not change electoral law because it "could stoke populism" if the government is seen to react to the threat posed by Trump, Musk & Farage. Peter adds, "I think is a completely crazy position to take, to say that we're not going to do something that we are actually philosophically in favour of ...because it, it might create a couple of bad headlines.Read all about itPeter Geoghegan's must read Substack is Democracy for Sale & his best selling book Democracy for Sale: Dark Money and Dirty Politics is published by W.F.Howes Ltd.Nick Cohen's @NickCohen4 latest Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond.

Hope knows that the Mormons will follow them, so they always sleep late, and wake early, hoping to extend their lead. On the second day, they run out of food. As Hope believes that they are out of reach of their pursuers, he leaves his companions in search of food. Several hours later he finds a ram to shoot, and he cuts off enough to last the rest of the journey to Nevada. His path back to to camp is long and unfamiliar, but after a couple of hours he finds the camp ruffled and deserted. From the tracks on the ground, he knows that many horses and men were in the area, must have taken Lucy; as for John Ferrier, Hope soon finds a grave and makeshift tombstone...Hope vows to devote the rest of his life to revenge. On the outskirts of Salt Lake City, Hope find a man that he used to work for and asks him about Lucy. The man is scared, and says that he is risking his own life by talking to Hope, but he tells her that she is married to Drebber. Lucy dies within a month, and Hope breaks into Drebber's house to visit her body and remove her wedding ring. He tries to make some attempts to kill Stangerson and Drebber, but fails, and they both flee.After making enough money, Hope starts to track Stangerson and Drebber, as they flee across America and around the globe. Every time he arrives somewhere, his prey seems to leave just before him. In London however, Hope finally completes his mission.

“What are you going through?” This was one of the central animating questions in Simone Weil's thought that pushed her beyond philosophy into action. Weil believed that genuinely asking this question of the other, particularly the afflicted other, then truly listening and prayerfully attending, would move us toward an enactment of justice and love.Simone Weil believed that any suffering that can be ameliorated, should be.In this episode, Part 2 of our short series on How to Read Simone Weil, Cynthia Wallace (Associate Professor of English at St. Thomas More College at the University of Saskatchewan), and author of The Literary Afterlives of Simone Weil: Feminism, Justice, and the Challenge of Religion and Evan Rosa discuss the risky self-giving way of Simone Weil; her incredible literary influence, particularly on late 20th century feminist writers; the possibility of redemptive suffering; the morally complicated territory of self-sacrificial care and the way that has traditionally fallen to women and minorities; what it means to make room and practicing hospitality for the afflicted other; hunger; the beauty of vulnerability; and that grounding question for Simone Weil political ethics, “What are you going through?”We're in our second episode of a short series exploring How to Read Simone Weil. She's the author of Gravity and Grace, The Need for Roots, and Waiting for God—among many other essays, letters, and notes—and a deep and lasting influence that continues today.In this series, we're exploring Simone Weil the Mystic, Simone Weil the Activist, Simone Weil the Existentialist. And what we'll see is that so much of her spiritual, political, and philosophical life, are deeply unified in her way of being and living and dying.And on that note, before we go any further, I need to issue a correction from our previous episode in which I erroneously stated that Weil died in France. And I want to thank subscriber and listener Michael for writing and correcting me.Actually she died in England in 1943, having ambivalently fled France in 1942 when it was already under Nazi occupation—first to New York, then to London to work with the Free French movement and be closer to her home.And as I went back to fix my research, I began to realize just how important her place of death was. She died in a nursing home outside London. In Kent, Ashford to be precise. She had become very sick, and in August 1943 was moved to the Grosvenor Sanitorium.The manner and location of her death matter because it's arguable that her death by heart failure was not a self-starving suicide (as the coroner reported), but rather, her inability to eat was a complication rising from tuberculosis, combined with her practice of eating no more than the meager rations her fellow Frenchmen lived on under Nazi occupation.Her biographer Richard Rees wrote: "As for her death, whatever explanation one may give of it will amount in the end to saying that she died of love.In going back over the details of her death, I found a 1977 New York Times article by Elizabeth Hardwick, and I'll quote at length, as it offers a very fitting entry into this week's episode on her life of action, solidarity, and identification with and attention to the affliction of others.“Simone Weil, one of the most brilliant, and original minds of 20th century France, died at the age of 34 in a nursing home near London. The coroner issued a verdict of suicide, due to voluntary starvation—an action undertaken at least in part out of wish not to eat more than the rations given her compatriots in France under the German occupation. The year of her death was 1943.“The willed deprivation of her last period was not new; indeed refusal seems to have been a part of her character since infancy. What sets her apart from our current ascetics with their practice of transcendental meditation, diet, vegetarianism, ashram simplicities, yoga is that with them the deprivations and rigors‐are undergone for the pay‐off—for tranquility, for thinness, for the hope of a long life—or frequently, it seems, to fill the hole of emptiness so painful to the narcissist. With Simone Well it was entirely the opposite.“It was her wish, or her need, to undergo misery, affliction and deprivation because such had been the lot of mankind throughout history. Her wish was not to feel better, but to honor the sufferings of the lowest. Thus around 1935, when she was 25 years old, this woman of transcendent intellectual gifts and the widest learning, already very frail and suffering from severe headaches, was determined to undertake a year of work in a factory. The factories, the assembly lines, were then the modem equivalent of “slavery,” and she survived in her own words as “forever a slave.” What she went through at the factory “marked me in so lasting a manner that still today when any human being, whoever he may be and in whatever circumstances, speaks to me without brutality, I cannot help having the impression teat there must be a mistake....”[Her contemporary] “Simone de Beauvoir tells of meeting her when they were preparing for examinations to enter a prestigious private school. ‘She intrigued me because of her great reputation for intelligence and her bizarre outfits. ... A great famine had broken out in China, and I was told that when she heard the news she had wept. . . . I envied her for having a heart that could beat round the world.'“In London her health vanished, even though the great amount of writing she did right up to the time she went to the hospital must have come from those energies of the dying we do not understand—the energies of certain chosen dying ones, that is. Her behavior in the hospital, her refusal and by now her Inability to eat, vexed and bewildered the staff. Her sense of personal accountability to the world's suffering had reached farther than sense could follow.”Last week, we heard from Eric Springsted, one of the co-founders of the American Weil Society and author of Simone Weil for the Twenty-First Century.Next week, we'll explore Simone Weil the Existentialist—with philosopher Deborah Casewell, author of Monotheism & Existentialism and Co-Director of the Simone Weil Research Network in the UK.But this week we're looking at Simone Weil the Activist—her perspectives on redemptive suffering, her longing for justice, and her lasting influence on feminist writers. With me is Cynthia Wallace, associate professor of English at St. Thomas More College at the University of Saskatchewan, and author of The Literary Afterlives of Simone Weil: Feminism, Justice, and the Challenge of Religion.This is unique because it's learning how to read Simone Weil from some of her closest readers and those she influenced, including poets and writers such as Adrienne Rich, Denise Levertov, and Annie Dillard.About Cynthia WallaceCynthia Wallace is Associate Professor of English at St. Thomas More College at the University of Saskatchewan, and author of The Literary Afterlives of Simone Weil: Feminism, Justice, and the Challenge of Religion, as well as **Of Women Borne: A Literary Ethics of Suffering.About Simone WeilSimone Weil (1909–1943) was a French philosopher, mystic, and political activist.

In London, he and friend Geoff “Spy” Lomas, both of whom were working as vets, took their first steps into the travel industry in 1973 when they invested the equivalent of $A1300 in an aging bus and started operating budget double-decker bus trips around Europe, North Africa and Asia.Skroo's initial involvement with Top Deck ended in the mid 1980s, when he and his colleagues sold the business to management and devoted their full attention to Flight Centre, a business that had less than 30 shops at that time.As the long serving chief executive officer and managing director of the public company that grew from the small band of Flight Centre shops, Skroo has since presided over a golden era of growth and prosperity for Flight Centre Travel Group Limited.In 2022, under Skroo's leadership, Flight Centre Travel Group celebrated 40 years of taking off.Connect with GrahamFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/SkrooTurner/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/graham-turner-295bb6167/X: https://x.com/SkrooTurnerAbout Simon Bowen Simon has spent over two decades working with some of the most influential leaders across many complex industries and circumstances. His very clear finding is quite simply that thinking is valued less than doing in almost every situation in our modern world. However, Simon has conversely observed that the power and success of any business, project or organization will be in direct proportion to the level and quality of thinking of the people and the quality of the idea or ideas on which it is built. As such, Simon is leading the renaissance of thinking.Connect with SimonLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonbowen-mm/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialsimonbowen/Website: https://thesimonbowen.com/Get Simon Bowen's Personal Newsletter for...

Cynthia Collier grew up in Salt Lake City in a family that enjoyed the performing arts. She studied philosophy, English, and music at Brigham Young University, and has taught music and theater in schools. Over the past 25 years she has been involved in writing and directing live productions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, including Savior of the World at the Conference Center Theater in Salt Lake City, and the Nauvoo and British pageants in Nauvoo, Illinois. She has served in the Church as a teacher, in various music callings, and in presidencies in wards and stakes. She most recently served with her husband as a branch minister at the University of Utah and Huntsman Hospitals in Salt Lake City. She is married to Eric Collier and is a mother and grandmother. Amy Robinson graduated from Brigham Young University in Humanities and Modern dance, and was thrilled to be part of the BYU International Folk dance team and Modern Dance team. She believes her greatest educational opportunities came from touring with those companies to many amazing places including China, India, and Europe. This may be where she gained her nomadic spirit—she and her husband Nathan have moved 27 times in 20 years of marriage! In London, England, in 2013, Amy had the opportunity to create the choreography for the first British Pageant. It was a life-changing experience to see the miracles that came to the participants of that show and audience. In 2015, Amy enjoyed helping set the British pageant on the Nauvoo stage and returned to help family casts learn choreography for the pageants in 2022 and 2024. She considers it her dream job to "move with joy" with the casts in England and then Nauvoo. Amy has also been part of the Arts in Education program in Utah through Tanner Dance, teaching dancers of all ages in elementary schools, and teaches folk dance at American Heritage School in Salt Lake City. Amy and Nathan are the parents of six children and her greatest joy is time spent with them—dancing in the kitchen and singing in the car—and serving in the Church, especially with youth and children.

Cinematographer Alice Brooks, ASC was in post on In The Heights four years ago when director Jon M. Chu let her know their next project together was adapting the world-famous Broadway musical, Wicked. With such a huge fan base, Alice and Chu wanted to make sure they respected the musical, but they both wanted to find a dynamic, filmic way to approach the material. “John kept instilling in us, don't make the obvious choices,” Alice says. “We were all creating a world of Oz together that no one had ever seen before, that was magical and wondrous and a little bit different.” Alice chose to go back to the source material for inspiration- the Oz books by L. Frank Baum. “Every single paragraph has an incredibly rich color description. Beautiful, poetic, just the world of Oz in color. It's unbelievable. And color means something, color is symbolism in Oz. No color is arbitrary.” Alice embraced all the colors of the rainbow for Wicked. They chose the color palette of pink and green for Glinda (Ariana Grande) and Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), with pink hued lighting to represent hope and connection between the two characters. In Wicked, good and evil are not as clearly defined as in typical fairy tales, since it's the origin story of how Elphaba becomes the wicked witch. Alice knew she could play with light and contrast between the two characters. Sunrise lighting would represent Glinda, while sunset and darkness represented Elphaba. Alice made notes in the script for time of day as references for each character. She worked closely with gaffer David Smith to create complex lighting cues throughout the film to match sunrise for Glinda and sunset and darkness for Elphaba. Early on, the production team discussed how to create the magical world of Oz without relying on bluescreens or virtual production. In London, they built real, massive, practical sets just like in old Hollywood movies. Alice remembers that Wicked used 17 sets that were 85 feet by 145 feet, with four huge backlots: Munchkinland, Shiz University, the train station, and Emerald City. Each was the size of four American football fields. “We had real tangible spaces to light and to create in,” she says. “And we didn't live in a blue screen world that so many movies do these days.” To create just the right green skin tone for actress Cynthia Erivo, Alice and makeup designer Frances Hannon did several makeup and lighting tests on different shades of green. It took a lot of trial and error to find the right shade of green- many hues simply looked like paint, or appeared grayish under the lights. As the DP, Alice also had to choose what lenses Wicked would use to capture both the scope and intimacy of the story. She worked with Dan Sasaski, Panavision's senior vice president of optical engineering and lens strategy, to create the Ultra Panatar II series of lenses for the film. For closeups, Alice chose a 65 mm lens for Cynthia Erivo and a 75mm lens for Ariana Grande because she found that a slightly different focal length for each actress worked best, due to the different shapes of their faces.

'Romantic, adventurous and thrilling ... remarkable' Telegraph  'Vivid, fast-paced and wonderfully ambitious … Patria teems with alternative stories of a continent's life and peoples' New Internationalist In late 1869, Richard Francis Burton stepped ashore in Southampton, fresh from a sightseeing tour of bone-strewn South American battlefields. The most lethal conflict ever fought on the continent was still stumbling to its gory conclusion. But if the celebrity adventurer expected to be mobbed with reporters, he was disappointed. Burton was ‘mortified' to perceive how oblivious his fellow Britons were to ‘perhaps the most remarkable campaign fought during the present century'. Tales of Dr Francia – Paraguay's dour, iron-willed dictator for almost thirty years – had once piqued the public's curiosity. But the country had since ‘dropped clean out of vision. Many, indeed, were uncertain whether it formed part of North or of South America.' He found ‘blankness of face' whenever Paraguay was mentioned, ‘and a general confession of utter ignorance and hopeless lack of interest'. Over 150 years later, the amnesia persists. If South America is a forgotten continent, Paraguay has fallen off the map altogether. Foreigners often confuse it with Uruguay, in many ways – a secular, liberal, World Cup-winner – Paraguay's opposite. The world takes Paraguay's drugs, beef, soybeans, migrant labourers, cleaners and midfielders, but has blanked out their distant source. In London, Madrid or New York, this might be understandable. But Paraguayans have long felt isolated and ignored even by their neighbours. In an aphorism so often repeated it has taken on the character of a curse, Augusto Roa Bastos – the country's most famous novelist – described his nation as ‘an island surrounded by land'. So, we discuss and end up philosophising about Latin America's place in the world, Lawrence's adventures across the region, Colombia, Paraguay and his new book, "Patria, Lost Countries of South America." https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/435719/patria-by-blair-laurence/97818479246…
