One October morning in 2018, journalist William Geroux says he was returning some books to his local Virginia Beach Library when he noticed a new state historical marker planted in the ground near the front entrance. It said the library was built on the site of a World War II prisoner of war camp. In Mr. Giroux's author's note in his latest book called "The Fifteen," he writes that he "was surprised and a little embarrassed" not to know that, during World War II, the U S had 700 POW camps spread throughout the United States in 46 different states, housing 371,683 German soldiers and 49,784 Italians. His book is subtitled "Murder, Retribution, and the Forgotten Story of Nazi POWs in America." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.

Matt, the founder and CEO of Crystal View Capital, shared that his company focuses on self-storage and manufactured housing communities, raising equity capital to purchase under-managed assets. They aim to maximize efficiency and net operating income, creating value and selling these assets to distribute profits to investors. Michael highlighted the growth of the self-storage industry and the importance of understanding the reasons behind this growth. The conversation was set to delve deeper into these topics. Affordable Housing Crisis and Storage Demand Michael and Matt discussed the demand for self-storage and mobile home communities due to the affordable housing crisis. Michael highlighted the need for storage among downsizers and businesses, while Matt emphasized the increasing demand for storage facilities as people downsize to save money. Matt also noted the stigma around mobile home communities has diminished, making them a more attractive option for affordable housing. Both agreed that the lack of new mobile home communities being built and the growing demand for affordable housing presents a significant opportunity for growth and increased pricing power. Addressing Affordable Housing and NIMBYs Michael and Matt discussed the issue of affordable housing and its impact on generations. Michael emphasized that the problem has been ignored for decades and has reached a critical point, causing despair among those who fear they will never be able to own a home.

Matt highlighted their organization's consistent delivery of promises and strong track record of making distributions to partners despite competitors cutting distributions or making capital calls. He emphasized the importance of hard work, execution, and under-promising and over-delivering. Matt also mentioned their organization's growth in occupancies, cost-cutting, and system refinement, leading to increased cash flow at the property level. He concluded by stating that they have made almost a hundred million dollars in distributions to partners over the years. Michael praised Matt's success and suggested an outward-facing marketing campaign, while Matt encouraged interested parties to contact them for more information.

In Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, when a scrappy crew of kids tries to save America to get the truth out about a corrupt businessman, the businessman swarms the state with pamphlets, newspapers, parades, radio broadcasts to maintain his power. Controlling the narrative sometimes just means out-talking your opponent, and many of our most pernicious new media stars just overproduced content until they rose to the top: Twitch streaming leftists, podcast bros, Mr. Beast endurance videos. Now we have the IDF livestreaming war crimes and bots out-posting the victims of a celebrity's sexual assaults to take over search results. Nico and Jessa discuss the culture of chronic posting and asks where is the CIA when you need them? For show notes and references: http://theculturewedeserve.substack.com

How many lies have been spoken?By NavyRigger - Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. The next morning I awoke, Kurt nowhere to be found. I found a sticky note on the coffee maker in Kurt's handwriting. He explained that he had the best night of his life last night, but had woken up late and rushed out the door. He wanted to wake me but apparently, I looked so peaceful and satisfied that he didn't have the heart to wake me. I'd like to say I spent the day doing something sexy waiting for him to come home, but my insides were so sore from the night before that I decided to binge watch some shows on Netflix and just relax.As the garage door opened, I stripped down and waited by the garage door for him to walk in. At the last second, I decided to hop up on the counter, and greet him with my legs spread and waiting for him. His face, as he walked in the door, was completely worth it. He dropped the bags in his hand and rushed over to me, kissing me lovingly. I was utterly surprised when I felt him pressing his tip against my opening. I looked down to see his cock stuck out from between the zipper of his pants.“I'm sorry baby, but I need this right now,” he said as he slipped inside of me.“Babe, don't be sorry. If you need it, please don't hesitate. Just be gentle, I am still sore from last night.”He leaned back on the counter and made long, deep strokes in and out of me. His face looked pained and desperate as he thrust in and out of me. I didn't know what was going on with him, but I flexed my vaginal muscles and was rewarded by a shuddering moan from him. In less than a minute he yelled out as he released himself deep inside of me. I bit my lip as a pleasant, hot, sticky, and familiar feeling filled my insides again. I looked up at Kurt and expected a look of satisfaction as he came inside of me, but what I saw was a look of relief.“Bad day,” I asked, thinking of what could make him so desperate to cum as soon as he got home.He shook his head, "No, today was fine. Problem was that last night was so amazingly hot, I couldn't stop thinking about it. By the time I was ready to leave work, I had blue balls so bad I could barely walk. I hate that I just came home and used you like that, but I needed to cum.”I sat up and put a hand on his cheek, pulling his face to mine, “Don't be sorry Babe. I am more than happy to make you cum anytime you need me to. Besides, I love the way you make me feel after filling me with a nice big load. By the feel of it, you've been pretty worked up all day, and this was an exceptionally big load. I love it.”“Damn I love you so much, Riza,” Kurt said as he leaned forward and kissed me slowly.“I love you too,” my eyes glanced on the bags behind him, “What's in the bag?”“I went out for lunch and picked up a few things for you for tonight,” he said as he rummaged around in the bag after tucking his cock back into his pants.I watched as he pulled out a black dress, a pair of black stilettos, and some black lacy panties.“Hurry up and get dressed or we will be late,” he quipped.“Late for what? What's going on tonight,” I asked as I slipped the dress on."I'll tell you when we get in the car,” he pointed to my thighs as I stepped into the panties, “Do you want something to clean up down there before putting those on?”I held his chin and gave him a quick kiss on the lips, “And risk some of that high-quality Kurt cum from leaking out? I don't think so. I want this pair to be soaked with your cum all night.”Kurt shrugged his shoulders and handed me the stilettos. Much to my amazement, everything fit quite well. The black dress was a little tighter than I would have chosen, but Kurt probably did that on purpose.“What about make-up,” I asked, feeling odd getting all dressed up but not wearing make-up."You don't need it, love,” he said with a sweet smile and a kiss, “Now hurry or we will miss the reservation.”I hopped in the front seat of the car, already feeling Kurt's seed leaking from between my folds and starting to soak my fabric of the panties. Half an hour later, we pulled into the parking lot of a restaurant, sushi by the looks of it.“Kurt, table for two,” he said to the greeter.The young greeter checked the list, grabbed the menus, and glanced at me, and smiled before she motioned for us to follow. We were seated at a table next to a relaxing pool with a small waterfall and Koi fish swimming around in it. I looked around at other well-dressed couples and realized that they were dressed much classier than I was. A waiter came to the table and offered some wine. Kurt nodded and the waiter poured it into our glasses.“Kurt, I don't think I am dressed well enough for this place,” I said as I took a sip of the wine that the waiter had poured for us.“Nonsense, Riza, if anything you are making other customers uncomfortable because they are realizing the same thing I already know.”“Oh really,” I said sarcastically, “And what would that be?”“That you're the most beautiful woman in the room right now,” he said as he glanced up from the menu and winked at me.Oh, my heart! I had to fan my face with my hand as I fought back emotional tears. Kurt's thumb rubbed the back of my hand as he held it, the whole time we sat at the table. We order a few rolls of sushi and started to talk about our past. He asked how Ronny and I met, I asked what made him fall in love with me. He told me he fell in love with me because I was the only woman he's ever met who can look into his eyes and touch his soul. That I was the only woman who he has ever made the fireworks of love go off in his chest. He knew when he first met me that his life would never be the same ever again, and that coming over to help me with the attic was the best decision he had ever made.The sushi arrived and we enjoyed the meal. I can understand why the place was so fancy. The sushi was exquisite. Every bite was a medley of flavors and textures that melted in your mouth. After we finished eating, the waiter collected the plates and offered us the check. Kurt gave the waiter his card and left a $50 tip on the table while he and I somehow found ourselves on the topic of baby names. As we walked hand in hand back out to the car, we were still discussing baby names. Like a true gentleman, he opened my door and helped me into the car. I closed my eyes and relished the moment of being wined and dined for the first time in years. Kurt sat in the driver's seat and turned the car on. As he backed out of the parking space, my phone rang. Ronny was calling me. I flashed the caller ID to Kurt and he motioned, zipping his lips.The phone clicked as I answered it, “Hey Dear, how's the project going?”“Slow but steady progress. How's your mom? You guys driving somewhere?”I panicked for a moment, “Yeah, Mama and I are driving back from the store. I helped her with groceries. You know how her wrist is after that fall last year.”“I wanted to call and remind you that according to my ovulation app, it's time to take another pregnancy test,” Ronny said in a snide tone.I rolled my eyes in disgust, “I took one this morning, and no.”The conversation continued. Typical boring couples stuff. Talking about things to be done around the house. Did this bill get paid, did that bill get paid, and so on. We almost got home before I managed to get Ronny to wrap up the conversation.Ronny sighed, “Well Dear, I gotta get off the phone and plug it in before bed. Tell your, mom, I said hi.”“Will do, Dear.”“Oh, speaking of your mom. How's that aunt of yours doing? The one that you are gonna get that $300,000 from when you finally get pregnant,” Ronny slipped in at the last minute.Kurt's face snapped towards me and he glared at me with surprise."She's good, just got back from the Caymans last I heard,” I said into the phone, watching Kurt's knuckles turn white as he gripped the steering wheel, “I'll talk to you later dear, love you.”“Love you too.”Click. Kurt cleared his throat, and it felt like my heart stopped beating.“I can explain,” I quickly said before he could say anything.“That would be a good idea.”“My aunt invested in Apple and Microsoft back when they first started, and well, she's loaded,” I started, speaking way faster than I wanted to, “But she can't have kids after a car accident when she was a teenager. I am an only child, so my aunt has promised me 300,000 dollars for when I get pregnant, so I can properly start my new family off right.”My heart sank. Even in the evening darkness of the car as we turned onto our street, I could see how red Kurt's face was. He shook his head in disgust.“Do you even really love me,” he barked."Of course I love you! Kurt! Why would you say something like that,” I could feel my heart starting to tear."Yeah, you love me, right up until you get pregnant, and then you and Ronny disappear with your aunt's baby-making money and I never see you again,” he said, his voice almost a growl.“I don't want the money! I want you! Only you Kurt!,” I said as my chest started to feel heavy and nausea flared in the pit of my stomach, “She can keep the money if it means I get to be with you.""Right, okay," he said with fury in his voice, "You're going to give up $300,000 for me. No way I am believing that lie, Riza. Tell me another one.""Kurt! Please, I wouldn't lie about that! I love you, Kurt!" I screamed."Yeah, like I am supposed to believe that after you just effortlessly lied your ass off to Ronny," he shouted.I watched a single tear roll down his cheek. He quickly wiped it away. I don't know what hurt worse, the fact he didn't believe me or the fact that he thinks I was that vile of a person to do that to him. I could barely breathe as fear gripped me. I sobbed, hard, as I gripped his hand."Kurt, please believe me!" I screamed as my body went numb, "I love you, please believe me!"The car came to a stop at the corner of our street. Kurt reached over and shoved open my door."Oh, I believe alright. I believe it's time for you to get out of my fucking car. Can't have the neighborhood seeing me for the fool that I am, thinking the woman I've loved for years was just using me as a sperm donor for baby-making inheritance money," he said as he looked forward.He couldn't even look at me and I couldn't let go of his arm."Baby, please, I am begging you! I love you, don't do this!" I sobbed uncontrollably."GET OUT OF MY FUCKING CAR YOU LYING BITCH!" Kurt barked with such ferocity it made me jump in fear.My whole body shook as I stepped out of the car. I turned around and tried one more time to beg him to stop this."Baby, I love you. I will call Ronny right now and tell him things are over if that's what it takes!" I screamed at the top of my lungs through the door.Kurt had a white knuckle grip with both hands on the steering wheel, and I watched as he took in a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment. For a moment, there was a flash of hope as I watched his tension ebb away a little. For a moment, my heart began to beat again. For a moment, I thought Kurt had changed his mind. Slowly, Kurt's eyes turned to me and the look in his eyes, the burning fury in those once soft and deep brown eyes, burned all semblance of hope I had away."Fool me once," was all he said before the engine revved up the tires squealed as he sped down the street.Any strength I had left in me died away as soon as he took off. I collapsed to my knees in the street as tears poured from my eyes. My heart hurt, physically hurt. I wanted to throw up. I couldn't stop shaking. I closed my eyes and sobbed harder than I've ever sobbed before.With the last bit of strength I had, I screamed at the top of my lungs in emotional pain, trying to keep the setting darkness of night at bay before the same darkness of depression consumed me.Pain, nothing but pain, filled my psyche for the past three days. I sped off, leaving Riza on the street corner sobbing uncontrollably, my chest burning with rage and fury. I was mad at her, but not nearly as mad as I was at myself for being a fool and believing that someone as wonderful and amazing as Riza would ever take an honest interest in me. Like a love-struck boy, I played right into her ploy, blinded by my love, desire, and lust for her. She played me like a fiddle, talking about how horrible her husband was, how she had loved me for years, and a while... I believed every single word she had said. Every fucking word. I just assumed she had a breeding or creampie fetish when she told me she wanted a baby with me. Something I was all too willing to give her as her lover. However, I would not be some kind of sperm donor so she could get rich.I was so fucking pissed when I pulled into the driveway. I was trembling with rage, so much so that it took me a few tries to finally get the key into the lock. It was late, so I decided to take a hot shower to clear my mind off all the things I had heard. When I finished and got out, I wiped away the steam from the mirror and looked at myself. Stupidly, I let my emotions get the best of me as my fury flared again and I punched the mirror. Pieces of the mirror splintered and crashed into smaller splinters in the bowl of my sink, just like my heart was shattered into splinters. I gripped the edge of the sink as fresh red blood dripped from fresh gashes in my knuckles. Even the pain of the gashes on my knuckles paled in comparison to the sickening, white-hot pain in my chest. No matter how hard I mentally and physically willed myself, I could not stop the trembling.Fifteen minutes, several cotton swabs of peroxide, and a gauze wrap later, I stood at the foot of my bed. I have no idea how long I stood there, could have been seconds, could have been minutes, but I couldn't take my eyes away from the wrinkled and crumpled sheets where she had laid only this morning. My eyes burned, a combination of tears and exhaustion.Reluctantly, I rubbed the burning from my eyes and just laid in the bed. I pulled the comforter up to my chest and tried to sleep. I rolled to my side, not feeling comfortable on my back. For a moment, there was peace and silence in my life. It was a brief moment, almost a blink, but it was there. As I took a deep breath through my nose, all of my anger and frustration ebbed away. The sweet-smelling scent of Riza was still on the sheet and comforter, combined with her strawberry scented shampoo on the pillow she had slept on. That was all it took to strip me of my anger, leaving nothing but the pain, heartbreak, and the ache of loneliness behind as the darkness of my bedroom seemed to grow darker. On top of it all, there was the bitter sting of betrayal to process. I cried. I cried harder than I had ever cried in my life as I buried my face in her pillow, screaming at the top of my lungs trying to make the pain go away.Three days, for three whole days I barely came out of my room. I called into work, claiming a stomach bug. In reality, my stomach was in knots and nauseous from a severe case of heartbreak. Part of me wished I could go back to the days before she and I had gotten involved romantically, back when she was the beautiful, exotic, and sweet wife of my best friend who lived across the street. By the second day, I had to force myself downstairs to eat something. Yet when I opened the pantry, everything inside just seemed so unappealing. I ended up settling for some water and saltine crackers. I had already eaten two and was starting to nibble on a third, but decided to stop before crawling back into the bed. My stomach was hurting, my heart was hurting, everything was hurting. Every part of me was in pain. I was desperate to move past this and go back to my normal life.Like salt in a wound, I had a constant reminder of my mistake. Riza relentlessly texting and calling me, leaving voicemail after voicemail of her crying and begging me to give her a chance to explain things. In some messages, she was sobbing so hard I couldn't even understand her. I wanted to believe her. God knows I wanted to believe her, that everything we had done together had meant something. I just couldn't get over the feeling that she was hiding something from me. Knowing my luck, it was some sick erotic joke between her and Ronny, and I was the punch line. I just didn't have the strength to get my hopes up and have my heart broken again.On the third day, the texts and phone calls just stopped. Part of me was relieved, yet another part was wishing she'd just send one more. Just one more message asking me to hear her out, to give her a chance to make it all make sense. I wasn't ready to make myself vulnerable just yet though. I wanted her to come over and explain everything and make the madness go away. To heal all the pain and make me whole again, yet I dare not get my hopes up because Riza and I were already walking on thin ice together. We were already having an affair in the middle of a nosy neighbor, where the gossip tends to travel at the speed of light. I wasn't ready to be the center of that gossip, to have everyone look at me like I was the villain in their favorite Disney story. To be seen as the man that tore a marriage apart. Yet all my thoughts raced back to Riza. Why had she stopped her messages now? Had she already given up?On the fourth day, I picked up the phone after not receiving anything from Riza in the past 24 hours. As I stared at the screen and thought of what I would say. I went to type my message, but my fingers shook uncontrollably. I set the phone down and took a deep breath, trying to calm myself before my heart leaped out of my chest. I picked up the phone and tried again, yet my hands still shook uncontrollably. Flexing my hand and knuckles, I let the sting of the still-fresh cuts under the layers of gauze focus my mind and attention back to what I was intending to do. As I picked up the phone a third time, I tried to type out a message to Riza. This time my hands shook so bad that the phone fell from my grasp and crashed onto the floor. Defeated, I laid back onto the bed and resorted to staring at the ceiling for the next hour or so. Contemplating the outcome of what her reply would have been, had I managed to successfully type the message.On the fifth day, I felt better, more myself, more in control. I woke up, turned on the coffee maker, and pulled a bagel from the fridge. Sitting at my computer, I managed to take a few bites of my bagel and even to check my fantasy football scores. Other than feeling a bit warm, the pain wasn't as bad. It was still there, along with the ever-present stinging of her betrayal. Around nine, I received a text from my boss checking in on me to see how I was feeling. I was surprised to learn that my hands had stopped shaking and I was able to reply. A wisp of confidence filled me as I texted my boss, telling him I would be back in the office on Monday morning. I then thanked him for checking in on me. I put the phone down, I finally finished my cup of coffee and my bagel. I then decided I needed to take a shower to have the warm water calm my mind because all I could think about was her. I missed her, needed her, and wanted her. She was everything to me, but I hated her. I hated how I felt and how she made my mind conflicted. As I stood there, letting the water envelop me, I couldn't help but miss her. A part of me needed her, I needed those lips, those eyes, her body. How was I supposed to move on? Go back to what life was before that day we fucked for the first time? As thoughts of her raced through my mind I couldn't help the erection I was having. My dick wanted her so bad too. It wanted that tight little pussy of hers. It needed her like a diabetic needs insulin. Yet the memory of that day flashed in my mind changed everything. I was done. I was done feeling this way. It was OVER!Around lunchtime, I decided to open up Riza's previous messages. As I started to type out a new message. Letting her know that it was over, that I was done. Yet before I could send my message, a new message from her had popped up. It read...Kurt, my love, I know you are probably still mad at me. I swear to you that if you just give me a chance to

mRNA Thought Control – Prison Time for Beast Tech “France passes a law penalizing critics of mRNA treatments, igniting debates on free speech and public health. The law, dubbed 'Article Pfizer', sets a precedent in the global health policy landscape and raises questions about individual rights and state control.” https://bnnbreaking.com/politics/frances-article-pfizer-a-controversial-shift-in-health-policy-and-free-speech We are seeing studies missing the obvious connection of the poison poke and heart issues. Is Science fake? Also, COVID-19 immunization products (“vaccines”) were supposed to stay at the injection site. However, according to a New York University study, vaccine messenger RNA (mRNA) and coronavirus spike protein can reach placentas and umbilical cords in pregnant women. Who is Funding the Invasion and Why? According to Zero Hedge, “The migrant expansion has been fueled by more than $1 billion in funding from the U.S. government to the U.N. and other agencies assisting migrants, according to a government spending database. Migrant advocates from the left are now becoming political appointees, leading him to believe that the migrant crisis is “engineered.” In Mr. Bensman's 2023 book “Overrun: How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in U.S. History,” he contended that mass migration has become a cottage industry, with many migrant-centered NGOs getting fat off taxpayer dollars. He pointed to one group called HIAS, a migration assistance group initially founded to help Jews fleeing Eastern Europe. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas once served on the group's board. It's one of several groups that has received millions of dollars in federal grants, according to Mr. Bensman. “We're actually funding our own border crisis,” Todd Bensman, senior national security fellow at the Center for Immigration Studies, a “pro-immigrant, low-immigration” think tank, told The Epoch Times. We go deep into two Jewish philosophies on why Jews fund the invasion. What will happen with False Flags on Jewish Synagogues and why Western Jews have been sold out as pawns in the NWO game? How does the fit the rise of the Anti Christ and the beheading of Christians?

The Curse of the Black Pear by Irene Trimble单词提示1.blacksmith 铁匠原文Chapter IV: In the Blacksmith's StoreJack ran down one street and up the next.He turned left.He turned right.He ran and ran.Then he listened.He couldn't hear the sailors.He was free!But he had the chains on his hands.He saw a store and opened the doors.Then he went in, very carefully.It was dark, but he could see some swords and knives."Ah,a blacksmith's store," he thought. "I can use one of those knives."He took one and started to cut the chains.It was hard work, and it hurt his hands.But after a minute or two, the chains fell to the floor.Suddenly,Jack heard a sound behind him.It was Will Turner."What are you doing here?" asked Will.He looked at Jack."Oh,you're the pirate. People are looking for you."He took a sword."Is that a good idea?" asked Jack.Will didn't speak.He put up his sword and looked at Jack.They fought.Jack was quick, but Will was quick, too."You can use a sword!" said Jack.He turned and ran to the door.But Will was too quick for him.He threw his sword at the door.It went over Jack's head.Jack tried to pull it out, but he couldn't.And now he couldn't open the door.He turned to Will and smiled."That was good," he said.He looked at the other door to the store."But you're between me and that door. And now you have no sword!"Will took another sword and they fought again."Do you make these swords?" Jack asked."Yes,and I use them for three hours a day after work, too," will answered."Why don't you find a girl? It's more exciting," Jack said.He took out a gun."Now,move away from the door," he said.Behind Jack, Will saw his boss, Mr. Brown.In Mr. Brown's hand, there was a bottle.Slowly,the blacksmith moved his arm up.And then he hit Jack on the head - hard.Jack fell to the ground.Norrington arrived with his sailors.He looked down at Jack."Good work, Mr. Brown. Remember this day. On this day, Captain Jack Sparrow almost got away!"Mr.Brown looked at the glass on the ground."He broke my bottle!" he said.

Bernardine Evaristo erzählt von einem späten Coming-out der Liebe willen. Aline Valangin schildert den Ausnahmezustand in einem abgelegenen Tessiner Dorf während des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Und die Französin Maria Pourchet schreibt über einen harmlosen Flirt, der zum Flächenbrand wird. In «Mr. Loverman» beschreibt die gefeierte Autorin Bernardine Evaristo das Doppelleben eines Mannes. Mit Mitte 70 will Barry endlich sein Leben aufräumen. Das heisst, er will seine Frau verlassen und offen mit seiner grossen Liebe zusammensein, seinem Jugendfreund Morris. Wird Barry das späte Coming-out wagen? Von dieser Frage lebt der Roman. Und von seinem herrlich bissigen Humor, findet Katja Schönherr. Ein abgelegenes Dorf an der schweizerisch-italienischen Grenze ist Schauplatz im zweiten Roman von Aline Valangin. Die Bohemienne und Pianistin lebte während des Zweiten Weltkriegs selbst im Onsernone-Tal und beschreibt, was der Krieg mit dem Dorf machte. Wie die Männer zum Aktivdienst eingezogen wurden, Flüchtlinge verzweifelt um Aufnahme suchten, Schmuggler das ganze Dorf in einen fieberhaften Reishandel verwickelten. Es geht um Obrigkeitsgläubigkeit, Profitdenken und mangelndes Engagement – um eine verschonte Schweiz, die nur solidarisch ist, wenn es sie nichts kostet. Franziska Hirsbrunner empfiehlt den Roman am Literaturstammtisch. Im heutigen Kurztipp stellt Annette König den Roman «Feuer» von der Französin Maria Pourchet vor. Laure, Akademikerin, Anfang vierzig, will endlich wieder ein Leben voller Überraschungen führen. Zu stark hat sie das Familien- und Berufsleben in starre Bahnen gewiesen. Das Feuer dazu entfacht die Liebe zu einem desillusionierten Investmentbanker. Was mit einem harmlosen Flirt beginnt, wird zum Flächenbrand. Pourchet beschreibt ungemein treffsicher die Sehnsüchte, Hoffnungen und Abgründe zweier Menschen, die vom Leben nicht dasselbe wollen. Buchhinweise: * Bernardine Evaristo. Mr. Loverman.

Directed by John Malcom Brennen, produced by Steve White, and announced by Harry Fleetwood, Anthology offered dramatic readings of famous and lesser-known plays. Its last episode aired on June 12th, 1955, coinciding with the launch of NBC's Monitor. On May 8th, 1955 at Caxton Hall in London, Orson and Paola Mori tied the knot. Welles was simultaneously finishing the editing on a film that would be called Confidential Report in Britain and Mr. Arkadin elsewhere. He cast Paola as Raina in the film. In Mr. Arkadin, American smuggler Guy Van Stratten gets a tip that Russian oligarch Gregory Arkadin, has a dark secret. Wanting to blackmail him, Van Stratten travels to Spain, striking up a friendship with Arkadin's daughter. The movie was shot throughout Europe in 1954, with scenes filmed in Spain, London, Munich, Paris, the French Riviera and at the Château de Chillon in Switzerland. The story was based on several episodes of The Adventures of Harry Lime and was originally released in Spain in October of 1955.

Darrell Castle talks about the report of journalist Seymour Hersh released the 8th day of this month in which he reported that under direct orders from President Joe Biden, the U.S. Navy blew up the Nord Stream pipelines. Transcript: AN UNEQUIVOCAL ACT OF WAR Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 17th day of February in the year of our Lord 2023. I will be talking about the report of journalist Seymour Hersh released the 8th day of this month, in which Mr. Hersh revealed that the United States Navy, at the direction of President Joe Biden, was responsible for the September 26, 2022 attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines carrying natural gas between Russia and Germany. This story should be world wide news because it is not everyday that the United States commits an act of war against a nuclear armed nation and against one of its closest allies. Blowing up Nord Stream was an act of war not only against Russia but against Germany as well and one could argue against all of Europe which benefited from the Russian gas. Germany got its energy from Russia and that Russian gas fueled the German economy and Germany is a U.S. ally and a member of NATO. The report, however, indicates that the German Chancellor was somehow in on the deal because during the planning stages he was reported to be “firmly in the Americans camp”. Maybe then he is a traitor to his own people, but this report is not about Mr. Scholz, instead it is about President Joe Biden. Who is Seymour Hersh and why is he reporting such terrible things about United States President Joe Biden. Controversy seems to follow Mr. Hersh  since he won a Pulitzer Prize for revealing the Mai Lai massacre in Vietnam many years ago. He also reported the torture and extreme conditions of the prisoners held at Abu Ghraib. In both cases the federal government said no it wasn't us and, in both cases, it turned out to be true. I find Mr. Hersh's report on the attack on Nord Stream to be believable and I do accept it as true. I'm sure that as in his other exposes additional information will be found and brought out into the light. What will happen now since an illegal and unconstitutional act of war against two nations which had not harmed the United States in any way should be an impeachment offense? It probably won't go anywhere since the mainstream press including the New York Times and the Washington Post have been largely silent. Total silence then, in the U.S. press despite the fact or because of, depending on the perspective that Mr. Hersh has blown apart the entire narrative of the U.S. involvement in Ukraine as a response to unprovoked Russian Aggression. In Mr. Hersh's Report he quoted the denials of the White House and the CIA, but he is an old-school journalist and a rare one in today's world of captive media. He does not submit his work to the CIA for approval beforehand so quoting from the article, “Asked for comment, Adrienne Watson, a White House spokesperson, said in an email, “This is false and complete fiction.” Tammy Thorp, a spokesperson for the Central Intelligence Agency, similarly wrote: “This claim is completely and utterly false.” According to Mr. Hersh and his whistleblower sources within the government, Biden's decision to sabotage the pipeline came after more than nine months of highly secret back and forth debate inside Washington's national security community about how to best achieve that goal. For much of that time, the issue was not whether to do the mission, but how to get it done with no overt clue as to who was responsible. Word gets around though and people talk and once more than one person knows about something it is not so secret anymore especially when it is an unconstitutional and impeachable war crime. Throughout “all this scheming,” Mr. Hersh's source told him, some working guys in the CIA and State Department were saying, “Don't do this. It's stupid and will be a political nightmare if it comes out.

In Mr. Blandings Builds his Dream House we focus on the horrors of being hoodwinked into purchasing a money pit. In Imitation of Life we follow the tragic tale of a young Black woman who passes as white woman and the shame she feels associating with her mother. What we don't generally focus on is the fact that these stories ultimately deal with how the Anglo characters profit as a result of the labor or ideas of their household workers whose stations in life never change as a result of the accumulation of wealth. Join us to discuss these issues and how at the time no one appeared to be outraged.

On June 9, 2017, a 19-year-old Mr. Ocean Storm Hilbach covered his face with his shirt and entered an Edmonton Convenience store with a sawed-off rifle, pointing it at two employees and demanding cash. He and his 13-year-old accomplice escaped with $290 in lottery tickets. Mr. Hilbach plead guilty and was convicted of robbery with a prohibited firearm, contrary to section 344(1)(a)(i) of the Criminal code.In September of 2016, a 53-year-old Mr. Curtis Zwozdesky drove the getaway vehicle for his accomplices who robbed two convenience stores. Mr. Zwozdesky plead guilty and was convicted as a party to the offences of robbery, and robbery with a firearm contrary to section 344(1)(a.1) and 344(1)(b) of the Criminal Code.After pleading guilty, both Mr. Hilbach and Mr. Zwozdesky filed charter applications seeking declarations that the mandatory minimums of 5-years and 4-years under section 344 were of no force or effect, as they amounted to cruel and unusual punishment contrary to section 12 of the Charter.Both sentencing judges agreed and granted the declarations of unconstitutionality. In Mr. Hilbach's case the sentencing judge relied on a Gladue report which outlined a family history of residential school system attendance, violence, abuse, chronic unemployment, and substance abuse. Mr. Hilbach was sentenced to 2-years less 1-day, well below the mandatory minimum of 5 years for a first offence. In Mr. Zwozdesky's case, the sentencing Judge took into consideration the individual circumstances of the offender, including a lack of a criminal record, late age, health issues and substance abuse. Nevertheless, the sentencing Judge found that the mandatory minimum was appropriate for the offences before the Court and Mr. Zwozdesky received a sentence of 4-years for both offences.The Crown appealed both sentencing decisions, arguing that the mandatory minimums are consistent with the provisions of the Charter and accordingly, the sentences imposed were unfit. The appeals of Mr. Hilbach and Mr. Zwozdesky were heard together by the Court of Appeal of Alberta. A majority of the Court of Appeal of Alberta agreed with the sentencing Judges and found that the mandatory minimum sentences set out in section 344(1)(a)(i) and section 344(a.1) were unconstitutional and of no force or effect. The Court of Appeal of Alberta dismissed the appeal against Mr. Zwozdesky's sentence but would have increased Mr. Hilbachs sentence to 3.5-years. Justice Wakeling dissented and would have allowed the crown appeals and set aside the declarations of unconstitutionality. The Crown appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada and leave was granted.

Writer, podcaster, gamer, and all-around fan of ‘90s stuff O'Dell Harmon, Jr. (https://twitter.com/ODellHarmonJr) joins the Kidz to chat about two of his favorite Hey Arnold! episodes! Arnold comes to grips with his true strength in “Dangerous Lumber” and thinks he has to decide between the love of the game and the safety of his team. But some sound advice from retired Hillwood Black Sox player (and current stadium janitor) Mickey Kaline brings Arnold back around. In “Mr. Hyunh Goes Country," Arnold and Gerald see dollar signs when Mr. Hyunh's ineffable twang makes him a radio hit – but what does Mr. Hyunh really want for himself? In this episode, we reckon with these two classic stories, remark on Mr. Hyunh's songwriting chops, lament the new Chicken McNuggets formula, and wonder how the heck two fourth-graders manage to get away with so much.

This week on HeightsCast, we bring to you a lecture from the 2022 Teaching Vocation Conference.  In this lecture, Head of Lower School, Mr. Colin Gleason, offers advice on how to prepare for the teaching profession.  Although the ultimate preparation for teaching is teaching itself, he nevertheless offers us six verbs—actions—that great teachers do well and that aspiring teachers would do well to work on.   A great teacher speaks Teachers communicate their ideas primarily through words.  In order to do this well, the ability to speak publicly is a sine qua non.   and to draw out from students ideas of their own  Teaching is more than the delivery of information.  A teacher must first win over his students.  Speaking well—holding a student's attention like a preacher does his congregation or a singer her audience—is necessary to this end.  Concrete suggestion: tell stories.  Even in the maths and sciences, good teaching is animated by good storytelling.  Practice with friends and family.  A great teacher listens  Teaching does not consist in simply signaling what is on a page.  It is a two way street.  A teacher is like an orchestral conductor, who moves between score and sound, adjusting as needed. A common bad habit of teachers is over-taching, that is: talking too much.  In order to gauge students' reception, a teacher must be attentive to them in real time.  Teaching is personal, so the teacher should seek to listen not only to the group as a whole, but also to each student as an individual.  Teaching is, at root, assisting parents.  A great teacher listen also to parents, who are the primary educators.  Concrete suggestion: find a good mentor.  In order to listen well, we need personal guidance and someone, who listens to us.  A great teacher sees  Seeing is paramount to the personal approach.  A crippling bad habit: prejudice, that is to judge too soon, before one sees the actual reality of the student before him.  Judging quickly blinds a teacher.  One of the beauties of the teaching profession is seeing the growth of a student.  Concrete suggestion: we need to be artists, which, in the first place, means seeing.  Teachers mold souls and to do this, they must have the intention of seeing as an artist.  In our daily lives, now, in our families and at work, are we attentive to the people around us?  A great teacher laughs A teacher ought to enjoy being with his students, to be caught up in the sense of awe and wonder at the student he serves.  Teachers need to have a sense of humor.  Taking oneself too seriously could be a death nail as a teacher. Although we are grown up, we need not have grown old.   Concrete suggestion: remember the art of play.  A teacher should remember that he is still part boy; his job is a joyful one.  A great teacher studies  A teacher must be continually learning.  Study fuels the teacher, keeping his mind fresh.   A teacher models study for his students; they see his actions and draw lessons therefrom. Concrete suggestion: read and study, even apart from any degree programs.  What a teacher needs is two-fold: to know his subject well and to love his students even more. A great teacher explores Education is an adventure, which means that a teacher should be in the trenches alongside his students.  Teaching comes from the person; it is an overflow of his own sense of adventure.  Adventure does not mean haphazard.  It takes work to be creative.  Spontaneity in the moment is often the fruit of diligent planning before.  Concrete suggestion: exercise prudence in choosing what school you work at. Three aspects to consider in a school: Cohesive spirit and identity; imagine yourself living that spirit. Content of the curriculum (especially books taught).  Freedom There are many mediocre teachers in the world, so if you are going to be a teacher, become a great one.  This, of course, does not mean perfection, but rather continual improvement.  To be a great teacher is not to have made it, but to be continually on the way.  In Mr. Gleason's words, a teacher is like the guide on a white water rafting expedition.  Indeed, we are all in the same boat and, not only are we learning, we are laughing.  Also on The Forum  Guidance for Aspiring Teachers with Alvaro de Vicente Seneca on the Teacher's Job by Tom Cox The Teacher as Liberal Artist with Dr. Matthew Mehan and Mr. Tom Longano  Cultivating Friendship in the Classroom by Austin Hatch Aristotle on the Student's Job by Tom Cox Further Reading  The Art of Teaching by Gilbert Highet   Only the Lover Sings by Josef Pieper  Ben Hogan's Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf by Ben Hogan

Interview With Jared McClain on Recent Oral Argument in Satirical Tweet Case Against NLRB NCLA represents FDRLST Media, LLC in a free speech lawsuit where a tweet in jest by Ben Domenech, publisher of The Federalist, resulted in a federal case with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). In Mr. Domenech's case, the charging party is Joel Fleming, a random person on Twitter who is completely unrelated to The Federalist or its employees. The governing statute only allows an “aggrieved” person (such as an employee) to file a charge with the Board. However, the NLRB has interpreted “aggrieved” to mean any person. This broad interpretation allows anyone who deems himself aggrieved—including a completely uninvolved person like Joel F.—to weaponize the NLRB's investigatory processes against others with whom they disagree.

It's a gorgeous fall day in the ATL and Party Favorz is dropping volume 5 of our next installment in the Thank God It's Disco series where classic Disco tracks from the 70's and 80's get a modern-day makeover. Most songs don't stray too far from the originals while others only use  the verses with the familiar beat and in one instance two classic Disco tracks get mashed-up into into one. Take note that the Gloria Gaynor 'Never Can Say Goodbye" remix by Jet Boot Jack is Gloria but he used a resung version by Miss Gaynor as opposed to the original so the vocals may sound a bit different but still glorious. That was not the case for "I Will Survive," which frankly has had a multitude of great remixes and the Anthony Fennel remix stays true to the original while giving it a modern House makeover. The same can be said about 'Let's All Chant' by the Michael Zager Band where Block & Crown used all the stems from the original but dropped the uh-ah, uh ah that made this song fun to begin with. Still, all the elements are there and it shouldn't take away from your enjoyment. Next week will be a diversionary week as we take on a Legacy set and update it because this guy has exploded since the original release, which has consistently remained in our top two searches for Party Favorz. The other is a diva who needs no introduction and frankly not even a new induction because after listening to the original release — it's just as smoking now as it was 10 years ago. Nevertheless, there are some modern remixes that have come out since and I haven't quite decided how I'm going to handle it yet but it's bound to please a lot of fans out there. Until the next time...ENJOY! Album: Thank God It's Disco Vol. 5 Artists: Various Genre: Disco Length: 03:17:59 1. The Three Degrees - Givin' Up, Givin' In (Mr. Root Extended Disco Remix) 2.

Ever felt lost in a new locality and just wanted visual directions to move from your mobile screen to the physical world in front of your eyes?   That's what augmented reality does.   With Live View in Google Maps, one can find digital arrows or directions overlaid right on top of the physical world in front of your eyes.   Unfortunately, Google's Live View service isn't available in India yet.   Another example of AR in Google's products is Google Lens, which helps you use your camera to search for whatever you see in the picture.   So, if you like your friend's shirt and want to find on which e-commerce website it is selling, you can simply click a photo of your friend wearing that shirt, and Google Lens will do the rest.   If you want to copy the text you see on a book's page, in the digital format, again, enter Google Lens.   Virtual reality, on the other hand, can be described as AR's more sophisticated cousin.   It can bring you anywhere, helping you experience things, events and places as if you were actually there, even when you clearly are not.   It can bring the user into a number of imagined environments such as a new gaming galaxy or to Antarctica to walk through a penguin colony or even on the back of a dragon.   Thus, VR completely shuts out the physical world that is around the user.   VR does this by requiring people to wear headsets that seemingly transport them to another world.   VR is often used in video games and movies to give users an immersive experience. In the case of video games, users experience playing with a point of view from inside the virtual world of the game.   And then there's mixed reality, which combines elements from both AR and VR. In MR, physical and digital objects interact.   “It provides the ability to have one foot (or hand) in the real world, and the other in an imaginary place, breaking down basic concepts between real and imaginary, offering an experience that can change the way you game and work today,” Intel explains on its website.   In India, the most recent promise of a Mixed Reality product is the MR headset JioGlass, which Reliance Jio unveiled recently.   During its AGM last year, the company demonstrated that through JioGlass, a teacher, while sitting at their home, could teach their class in school by transporting their 3D avatar to the classroom. This 3D avatar would be visible to the students.   This application of JioGlass could also be extended to video conferencing and other such solutions.   But JioGlass is yet to be launched, so we are yet to fully understand Mixed Reality's use cases in India.

Mr. Sullivan attempted suicide by ingesting a prescription drug known to cause psychosis as a side effect. In a psychotic state, he stabbed his mother. Mr. Chan consumed magic mushrooms. In a psychotic state, he fatally stabbed his father and then he stabbed his father's partner. At their trials, each accused sought to raise non-mental disorder automatism as a defence but the trial judges applied s. 33.1 of the Criminal Code, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-46, which sets out conditions in which the defence is not available. In Mr. Chan's case, the trial judge also held that s. 33.1 infringes ss. 7 and s. 11(d) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms but it is not unconstitutional because the infringements are justified under s. 1 of the Charter. Mr. Sullivan was convicted of aggravated assault and assault with a weapon. Mr. Chan was convicted of manslaughter and aggravated assault. The Court of Appeal allowed appeals. It found s. 33.1 unconstitutional. It acquitted Mr. Sullivan on both counts and ordered a new trial for Mr. Chan. Keywords Constitutional law - Constitutional law - Charter of Rights and Freedoms - Fundamental justice - Presumption of innocence - Assaults occurring during states of psychosis caused by ingesting intoxicants - Accused raising defence of non-mental disorder automatism - Defence not available if accused's state of psychosis caused by self-induced intoxication pursuant to s. 33.1 of Criminal Code - Whether s. 33.1 infringes ss. 7 or 11(d) of the Charter - If s. 33.1 infringes ss. 7 or 11(d) of the Charter, is the infringement justified under s. 1 of the Charter - Whether normal rules of stare decisis apply to declarations of invalidity made by superior court judges pursuant to s. 52(1) of the Constitution Act, 1982?.

The Two Dukes of Wyndham series by Julia Quinn was a delight to read one after the other!In “The Lost Duke of Wyndham,” highwayman Jack turned out to be the true duke.  His cranky, dowager duchess grandmother just needed proof of legitimacy, but first she needed to catch him.  It was his attachment to Grace, the dowager's companion, who he would give up the dukedom for.In “Mr. Cavendish, I Presume,” the current duke, Thomas,  was potentially going to lose his dukedom and lose Amelia, his long standing fiancée who he finally started having feelings for.If you want humor, book one is for you.  If you want angst, book two is for you.  The two books happen concurrently and have a lot of the same dialogue so we suggest reading both.  Join us as we discuss the Two Dukes of Wyndham!DRAWING ROOM DISCUSSIONS –Friends of the Pod @romantically_swept_awayPennyroyal Green readalongMerchandise on ZazzleRomancelandia Calendar“OFFICIAL, UNOFFICIAL BOOK REVIEW” – 2:31The Lost Duke of WyndhamMr. Cavendish, I PresumeTwo Dukes of Wyndham serieswww.juliaquinn.com www.facebook.com/AuthorJuliaQuinn www.instagram.com/juliaquinnauthor“POT-TAIL PONDERING” – 31:01Dubliner Whiskey Liqueur – Whiskey and Honeycombwww.dublinerwhiskey.com/www.facebook.com/TheDublinerWhiskey/www.instagram.com/dublinerwhiskey/Who'd You Rather Bridgerton EditionNext – What a Difference a Duke Makes by Lenora Bell with Friend of the Pod @bookstakatieHosts - Toni Rose & Wendy WooEmail - litwallflowerspodcast@gmail.comFollow on www.instagram.com/litwallflowerspodcast Shop at https://www.zazzle.com/store/lit_wallflowers/products Website https://linktr.ee/litwallflowersLit Wallflowers is part of the Frolic Podcast Network.  You can find more outstanding podcasts to subscribe to at Frolic.media/podcasts!

Professor Marla Mitchell-Cichon is an attorney, advocate, and criminal justice expert who has helped facilitate the release of seven wrongfully convicted Michiganders. As Executive Director of the WMU-Cooley Law Innocence Project, she and her team, largely consisting of law students, work to secure the release of factually innocent people solely through post-conviction DNA evidence, the only innocence organization in the state of Michigan to do so. To date, the WMU-Cooley Law Innocence Project has screened over 5,800 cases, several of which are actively being prepared for court. In this compelling, all-new episode of Open Mike, Marla discusses her 18-year-long work on the wrongful conviction of Gary Poole, a Michigan man who was falsely accused of murder and spent 32 years behind bars. Tune in to learn how she helped get him exonerated, how we can best protect ourselves if wrongly accused of a crime, and how WMU-Cooley Law Innocent Project can help if someone you know is falsely incarcerated! Show Notes [00:24] Background and bio of Marla Mitchell-Cichon.   [00:43] Marla, welcome to Open Mike!   [01:11] Can you tell us a little about the Western Michigan University Cooley Law Innocence Project?   [01:47] Most Innocence Clinics focus on cases without DNA or have a mixture of cases where DNA may or may not be involved. WMU Cooley's only takes on cases where there is a DNA component.    [02:47] What role do the students play at the Innocence Project?   [03:31] How did you personally become interested in helping the wrongfully convicted?   [04:14] The WMU-Cooley Law Innocence Project has helped a number of people, including Kenny Wyniemko who was on several of our episodes, including our 100th Episode Special. How gratifying is it when you're able to free an innocent person?   [05:19] I'm familiar with your work, specifically the case of Gilbert Poole… how did he become a suspect in that case?   [06:59] Weren't there cigarette butts and underwear that weren't run through DNA testing prior to the trial?   [08:38] DNA is one of the best tools to prove innocence… but it's performed by people, and people can make mistakes.   [10:38] Bite mark evidence has never been scientific, yet it's a very common forensic practice that prosecutors lean on to convict people.   [15:16] Contrary to popular belief, hair samples aren't scientifically accurate, unless the piece of hair has a root attached to it.   [16:51] In Mr. Poole's case, can you discuss the fingernail evidence that excluded his culpability?   [18:33] When you get involved in the Poole case, what eventually led to you convincing the state Attorney General's integrity unit to make the motion to release?   [23:31] When you have a criminal trial, that is the only opportunity you have to put the facts on a court record. Once that record is made, most of the time, any reviewing court will be limited to reviewing what's on the record.   [24:31] Now that these conviction integrity units are around, you went to them… what was the smoking gun that allowed you to convince them everyone got it wrong?   [26:36] In Poole's case, no one actually saw who killed the victim. Poole was never put in a line-up or independent identified. The government also introduced a composite drawing that was created after Poole had been arrested.   [27:29] Will Gilbert be compensated for the time he spent in prison?   [28:40] Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and members from her office attended Mr. Poole's release reception and sincerely apologized for the struggles he unjustly experienced.   [30:58] There are still so many innocent people in prison. What can we, as a society, do to help the wrongfully convicted?   [32:21] Make sure to check out the WMU-Cooley Law Innocence Project's website for more information on the cases we discussed in this episode!   [32:47] Eighteen years of dedication on this case, Marla. It's frankly mind-boggling to me. I commend you, I respect you, and we're lucky to have you working on behalf of those whose voices have been silenced.   [33:31] If you have a loved one in prison, or are in prison yourself, the WMU-Cooley Law Innocence Project only accept inquiries and applications from the individuals who are incarcerated. Write directly to their office for assistance!   [33:58] Marla Mitchell-Cichon, thank you for being on Open Mike! I hope to talk to you again. [34:06] What a smart person, and what an incredible clinic she and her students run! Visit their website if you want to donate, educate yourself, or contact them for help. Thank you for being here on Open Mike! Like, subscribe, share, spread the word on this crucial issue. We'll see you next time!

Editor: Re: “Coldewey should read Texas law,” May 5. In Mr. William H. West's letter, he wrote that the 10 percent homestead cap applies to Land Market Value as well.

MR is a step beyond Augmented Reality, in which additional information is added to that which a user perceives. In MR, the physical and virtual worlds interact, and users can interact with them as well. As computer chip manufacturer Intel's website explains, MR “provides the ability to have one foot (or hand) in the real world, and the other in an imaginary place.” While AR enhances a user's perception of the real world, MR can blur the difference between what is real and what is not.

Auf zu unserer siebzehnte Episode. Dieses Mal reisen wir weit zurück in die Vergangenheit: Der Stummfilm Häxan aus dem Jahr 1922 gilt als ein Wegbereiter des semidokumentarischen Kinos, zwischen Fakten und Fiktionen. Daneben ist er auch noch Düstermärchen, Fantasyfilm und Pamphlet für den Säkularismus. Der zweite Film, mit dem wir uns auseinandersetzen ist ein Frühwerk des amerikanischen Hitchcock-Films. In Mr. & Mrs. Smith wendet sich der Meister des Suspense allerdings von seinem Haus- und Hof-Genre ab und legt eine astreine Screwball Comedy aufs Parkett. Ob er damit Erfolg hat, erörtern wir in unserer ausgiebigen Diskussion über das Genre und die Markenzeichen von Alfred Hitchcock. Zusätzlich gibt es natürlich wieder unsere Toplisten. Wir nennen unsere Lieblingsfilme, die sich zwischen Dokumentation und Fiktion, zwischen Realität und Fantasie bewegen. Und wir schauen nochmal bei den besten Remakes vorbei, die je produziert wurden.

In episode 648 of "Making Waves at C-Level" Thom chats with a repeat guest on the show, Mike Smerklo. Together they discuss trends before and after the pandemic and how business leaders can "Make Waves" in the new environment. They also talk about Mike's new book, "Mr. Monkey and Me".  About Mike SmerkloMike Smerklo is an experienced entrepreneur, investor and business leader driven by the desire to turn ideas into reality.  Having bought and scaled a small business into a publicly traded company worth nearly a billion dollars in value, he has a deep understanding of the hard work, dedication and grit that truly powers successful entrepreneurship.Today, as the co-founder and managing director of Next Coast Ventures, Smerklo is a champion for a new generation of entrepreneurs building disruptive companies in big markets. His new book, Mr. Monkey and Me (Scribe Media, Nov. 17, 2020), is a “real talk” guide for entrepreneurs who want to cut through the noise to  cultivate a mindset that supports greatness. Smerklo grew up in a blue-collar family outside of Toledo, Ohio, with dreams of achieving something more with his life. After working his way through college to earn an accounting degree and moving to Chicago to launch his CPA career, he eventually talked his way into a junior analyst gig with the Wall Street investment bank Lehman Brothers. While he hated the job, surviving two years of hellish 100-hour workweeks and countless spreadsheets (so many spreadsheets) gave Smerklo a solid understanding of finance and company building. He went on to earn an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and experienced the Silicon Valley dot-com boom as an investment banker at Morgan Stanley. Smerklo was recruited by legendary entrepreneurs Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz as one of the first employees of their new startup, Loudcloud. Here, he learned from the very best about what it takes to grow a company from an idea through an initial public offering. Smerklo began his own entrepreneurship journey in 2003, purchasing ServiceSource, a 30-person technology services startup in San Francisco. As CEO over the next 12 years, he grew the business into a successful 3,000-person publicly traded company with close to $300M in revenue.  In Mr. Monkey and Me, Smerklo draws on his broad range of experiences and mistakes as an entrepreneur and venture capitalist. Using lessons he learned from renowned entrepreneurs, he developed the SHAPE formula -- Self, Help, Authenticity, Persistence and Expectations -- which gives readers an actionable approach to mental toughness that will help any entrepreneur start, grow and run a successful business. An anti-memoir, Mr. Monkey and Me features practical tools and the “other stuff” you don’t normally learn in classrooms or business books, such as the mental hurdles you have to overcome, the risks you have to take and the sacrifices and mistakes you’ll make to become a successful entrepreneur.  He has developed a new perspective on entrepreneurship at the helm of the Austin-based firm Next Coast Ventures, which has backed more than 40 companies across two funds to help startup founders achieve their goals. Mike and his wife spend the bulk of their free time chasing their four children. Visit https://www.mikesmerklo.com to read his blog and learn more.https://thomsinger.com/podcast/Mr-Monkey-and-Me************ Learn more about your ad choices.

In this EdUp Embedded episode, sponsored by FRANK., Joe talks one-on-one with the President and CEO of the Association of Governing Boards (AGB), Henry Stoever. Henry gives an absolute masterclass regarding higher education governing boards. He discusses the three main components of effective board operations - composition, mindset, and action. The macro roles of an effective board are to hire, motivate, and incentivize the President of a college or university and to collaboratively develop the strategy. The "noses in, fingers out" functioning of an effective board allows for financial stress testing and scenario planning. However, governing boards need to spend more time understanding marketing and planning - the price to value proposition. Don't miss this episode! Mr. Henry Stoever brings to AGB a deep understanding of the importance of citizen governance and a wealth of experience in building on the strengths of a member-focused organization. In Mr. Stoever's previous position at National Association of Corporate Directors (NACD), he oversaw marketing, partner relations, and board-development teams, helping to provide insights on critical issues that shape board agendas for the largest association of corporate directors in the United States.

On The Question Of Impeachment..Is It Justified? On this episode of Pensive Politics, Mr. Watson analyzes the impeachment proceedings happening today against President Trump and weighs them against the ideas of proper governance. Whereas many political pundits are discussing the effects today's proceedings will have on electoral politics, and other policy-wonk ideas, Mr. Watson encourages his listeners to look beneath the surface. Every event, he argues, reflects certain ideas and principles. If we understand those ideas and principles, we can better engage with their consequences. It all begins with a question, In Mr. Watson's opinion: Is Impeachment just? The answer lies in this episode of Pensive Politics. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/fedbyravens/support

There is a general moral principle that must govern our response to public affairs, including this week's elections.----It is wrong to signal our consent to lies, falsehoods, or the propriety of evil. One might ask, how does this principle direct our conduct in politics, voting, and elections-----There are ready examples of people who have followed this moral principle, and suffered because of it. For example, Jack Phillips and Barronelle Stutzman will not consent to the falsehood of so-called -gay marriage- by making cakes or arranging flowers to celebrate such an evil thing.----For a believer to concede, or indicate his agreement, that such a thing as -gay marriage- can exist, or is moral or right, it to signal consent to such wickedness.----Yet there is a dreadful cost in not doing so. In Mr. Phillips and Mrs. Stutzman's cases, they have been almost completely destroyed by their obedience to God's Word in this matter. Their businesses have been ruined, they have suffered as outcasts of society, they have been picketed, and they have been hounded in the courts.----Yet how few sermons we have heard urging believers to separate from the consent to falsehood and agreement with evil in such cases-----Christians must examine everything we do and say, to see whether we are signaling approval of lies or wickedness.----Preachers and churches have mostly failed to to preach these truths about our practical and public conduct.----Is that because we fear having to pay the price for refusing to give consent and refusing to signal agreement on these matters-----We fear we will lose our jobs, won't be able to work in our chosen fields, will be ridiculed, drummed out of society.

Boy, what do I say about this 2016 conversation? My guest is an enigma wrapped in a riddle. After a successful career as a lawyer, college teacher & commercial actor, Mr. Pitts ended a marriage & disappeared from Grand Rapids, where he'd lived for many years. Then one day, perhaps a decade later, I get a call from him. He had taken a fascinating turn. He became a Buddhist monk & teacher. He contacted me because of a desire to work with Interfaith Dialogue Association. When I shared this information with community members & former friends, they rolled eyes in disbelief. In Mr. Pitts' "former incarnation" he was anything but monk-like. Yet, he began to attract students, & built a very solid Buddhist community here in West Michigan that never was before. There were temples in the area that catered to Thai & Vietnamese devotees, but nothing of substance that was attractive to the greater population. The work this man did was amazing. Within a year or 2 the new congregation outgrew one space & procured another. And then... One day, I learned that Mr. Pitts left everything behind, and he, along with a female student, moved to rural New York to open a B&B. Yet another reinvention. Regardless of all of this, there is no question that a vital work was created that was bigger than the man who started it. He pulled in very serious students who maintain and grow this effort. Today, the Grand Rapids Meditation & Zen Center continues to thrive. People have various theories about my guest; not all positive. Regardless, you will hear great wisdom shared in these episodes, I promise.
