Robert Maxwell, characterized by his ruthlessness, volatility, and defiance, possessed insatiable desires: an enormous appetite for food, wine, women, power, and wealth. He fearlessly displayed his ambitions to the world as he tirelessly worked to construct a vast publishing realm. However, beneath the surface of his career, another more compelling ambition thrived, one that remained concealed: his aspiration to serve as a spy for Israel's Mossad. The culmination of this tale, as eloquently presented by Gordon Thomas, a seasoned author entrenched in the enigmatic realm of international intelligence, unfolds in this riveting account. The clash between the magnate's overt public pursuits and his covert spy missions ultimately culminated in his perplexing demise. Officially attributed to drowning in November 1991 off the Canary Islands, Maxwell's death was, according to Thomas's impeccably positioned sources in London, Washington, and Israel, the result of a profound conflict. Maxwell's initial encounter with Mossad occurred during the 1970s when the adept Israeli intelligence agency absconded with the United States' most advanced intelligence-gathering software, the Enhanced Promis. Ingeniously, Mossad transformed it into an electronic Trojan horse, covertly amassing highly classified data from the very global organizations to which they peddled the software. Facilitating these incredibly sensitive exchanges, valued in the tens of millions across countries like China, Russia, and India, was none other than Robert Maxwell. Yet, Maxwell wasn't merely an intermediary; he also appropriated a portion of Mossad's profits, along with a staggering sum of 750 million from his employees' pension fund. He did so in a desperate bid to sustain his business empire and cater to the escalating demands of less patient creditors. As he sailed on his yacht that fateful November evening in 1991, Maxwell likely clung to the hope of a potential rescue orchestrated by Mossad – a lifeline that would salvage his faltering endeavors.

Charge Cars was founded in 2016 and its first project is now available. Without the manufacturer mentioned, the London-based company has for order 499 of its bespoke "The '67 By Charge Car." Created individually and built like the original Ford Mustang but electric and built from the "ground up," the '67 is on display during the LA Auto Show. Bill Morse, a marketing spokesperson for the London-based company is the first of my three guests during the opening day of the 2022 LA Auto Show. The '67 by Charge Car presented at the LA Auto Show. All images © James Raia/2022. While co-host Bruce Aldrich remained in Sacramento to produce the episode, I traveled to Southern California for the first major auto show of the season. LA Auto Show: Bespoke Icon Stuns A former actor who has worked with several manufacturers, Morse discusses the new company, now six years into its build process. Morse details the long process of making each vehicle, some of which have already been purchased before they've been made. The '67 By Charge Car vehicle features an impressive list of specs and a hefty price.   Hagerty had a low-key presence at the 2022 LA Auto Show, but the 1994 Ferrari 248 stood out and it was fun to drive. Charge Cars uses a snowflake as its cars' badge, with Morse explaining "each car is slightly different, "like a snowflake." LA Auto Show: Hagerty Goes Vintage Morse said Charge Cars has two other iconic cars planned but wouldn't name the choices. "If I told you, it would bring a smile to your face." Jeremy Malcomb works for Hagerty, the Michigan-based automotive lifestyle and membership company, specializing in vintage cars. Hagerty had a low-key presence at the auto show. But its booth has prominently situated the front of the main entrance to the show and it had two vehicles available for test drives, including a 1994 Ferrari 248. Pizza Hut uses a small fleet of ElectraMechannica vehicles for theSOLO's convenience and EV efficiency. Three of the company's vehicles were showcased at the LA Auto Show. With Jeremy as my guide and front-seat passenger, I drove the Ferrari on a two-mile loop around the city streets near the convention center. Later in the day, Jeremy was my second guest and we talked about the increase in vintage car values. The Ferrari I drove, cost about $100,000 new and it's now also worth about $100,000. LA Auto Show: Ferrari Cruises Downtown "Certainly, it was probably the cheapest Ferrari at the time, it's a mid-engine V8, a gated manual transmission, a great receipt for a much-loved car," said Jeremy. "Today, they've been widely considered a great place to start if just you're getting into Ferraris." Jeremy and I also discussed the market-wide increase in vintage car prices and Hagerty's ride-share program, Drive Share. Owners from around the country list their collectible cars for rent. ElectraMeccanica is a Canadian-designed and manufactured single-seat electric vehicle called the Solo. It's considered an enclosed motorcycle. Ingeniously designed to be sleek, fun, easy-to-charge, and earth-friendly, SOLO transforms your daily routine with its maneuverability, a top speed of 80 mph, and up to 100 miles of range on a single charge. The company, which debuted last year at the LA Auto Show, presented its update this year and it's my third segment. ElectraMeccanic had three vehicles on display, including one wrap for a Pizza Hut franchise. Its one commercial application that's been a success for the convenient, about-town little machines.

In this episode, we spoke to the inimitable Geoff Dyer, author of books including Out of Sheer Rage, Zona, But Beautiful, The Ongoing Moment, and Broadsword Calling Danny Boy. His new book, The Last Days of Roger Federer and Other Endings, was published by Canongate earlier this month. Ingeniously structured – separated into three sections of sixty chapters, with its 86,400 words representing each second in a day – it is both witty and wise, and examines the late careers of artists as varied as J. M. W. Turner, Nietzsche, D. H. Lawrence, Bob Dylan and the eponymous Federer on its way to asking the question: "Could it be that our deepest desire is for it all to be over?"Less elaborately structured, our freestyle conversation with Geoff is one we reluctantly ended with a reference to a shampoo scam. Before that? The difficulty of retaining what you read; Geoff's capacity for building atomic weaponry; the case for reading Middlemarch; artist James Turrell's pharaonic Roden Crater project in the Arizona desert; and the genius of Larry McMurtry – all in a mere 2,844 seconds.For initiates and the uninitiated alike, our conversation is a perfect window into the boundlessly curious and original mind of one of Britain's greatest wits.

Who in their right mind would plant bamboo, close to a house, as a privacy screen? Bamboo, which after a few years, could become an impenetrable jungle, spreading in every direction! Well, America's Favorite Retired College Horticulture Professor, Debbie Flower, planted bamboo as a privacy screen, six feet away from her house. How is she going to control this rambunctious runner of a plant? Ingeniously, of course. We pay a visit to Debbie's garden to find out what to do, and what not to do when planting bamboo.Next up on our garden road trip, we drop by Master Rosarian Baldo Villegas' delightfully blooming rose garden, where he has close to 3,000 rose plants, near it peak of color. And usually at this time of year, most rose gardens are overrun with aphids. But not Baldo's.  A retired state entomologist, Baldo shows us the good bugs that are keeping the aphids at bay. And you can do the same in your rose garden.Plus, we get a Quick Tip from the Brown Thumb Mama, Pam Farley, about another use for toilet paper: planting teeny tiny carrot seeds.We're podcasting from Barking Dog Studios here in the beautiful Abutilon Jungle in Suburban Purgatory.

Darnella is an inspiration to people. She has gives people hope to live again & heals people. She has a 13 core principles and #5 stood out to me "I am willing to exchange my sadness for joy, confidence for insecurity and love for hate, blame resentment and anger." ABOUT DARNELLA: Darnella is the author of five (5) bestselling novels and the recipient of the BEST NEW VOICE OF 2003. Her fifth novel, FINDING ME, was recently nominated for the 2010 STONEWALL LITERARY AWARD, one of the most prestigious literary awards in the country. Known for her ability to create “unpretentious gritty masterpieces,” Darnella has established a well-respected name for herself in the world of literature. However, in 2006, her life would profoundly change when Darnella traveled to Seattle and began a three-year course of study in Quantum Physics, Neuroscience and Neuro-Biology. Under the instruction of some of the most brilliant Physicists in the country, Darnella studied the profound world of energy/matter and how it all affects our daily lives. Deeply inspired by the changes she made in her own life—in 2008 Darnella created & launched JOURNEY TO WORTHY, a program of inspiration designed to expand awareness & transform lives. With its genesis rooted in the science of Quantum Physics, Journey to Worthy is based upon the principles of self-love & self-worth. In essence, self-love is the cornerstone of the program. In simple terms Darnella explains, “Whenever we take a trip…we always calculate the time it takes us to get from point A to point B. Well, the longest trip I ever took was the journey to my own worthiness!” Ingeniously, Darnella simplified the complex nature of science & began to do something unprecedented—she took Einstein's E=MC2 to the inner city, mental health care facilities, prisons, and the classrooms of Compton. But she didn't stop there—she also took her program to Corporate America and to the affluent. With her unique teaching style, she created compelling presentations & began to affect change and initiate healing to all those who came in contact with her message—which simply states YOU ARE WORTHY!!! JOURNEY TO WORTHY has garnished its own share of “fans” and the people who are touched by the program are changed forever. Under the umbrella of JOURNEY TO WORTHY are multiple programs with one of its standouts—a special presentation titled “Beautiful” which has been devoted to teenage women & explores the nature of “authentic beauty” as it relates to self-esteem and self-worth. It is Darnella's hope that a human being's understanding of their intrinsic “worth” will be as much a part of our culture as I-Phones, I-Pads and Facebook. When all is said & done, Darnella insists that the most important aspect of JOURNEY TO WORTHY will always be “the people themselves” and to that end, “I have devoted the rest of my life to the profound knowing of truth and the ultimate experience of man's highest potential actualized in the material world.” Darnella battled depression & feeling worthless for years. She abused food, people, money and her beautiful body. Darnella was reckless, careless and void of integrity. She lost job after job simply because she couldn't get out of bed & go to work. In the mid 90's, Darnella was diagnosed with Clinical Depression accompanied by the “lack of will to live.” With no desire for food, one day she stopped eating. Within weeks the effects were ravaging. Each morning upon dressing in the dark (as she could not stand the sight of herself), Darnella would layer her clothing, wearing 2 to 3 pair of pants & multiple shirts to “appear” larger than she was. But this illusion only lasted for so long. She was so malnourished that one afternoon she collapsed on the 24th floor of a Wilshire high rise. Pale and void of color, Darnella was rushed to a UCLA emergency room where she was treated & medicated. Find out more about Darnella at www.journeytoworthy.org or email darnella@journeytoworthy.org let her help you heal.

Not quite depressed. Not quite happy. Not quite anxious. Not quite relieved, or disappointed. This year has been a lot. I've experienced an entire lifetime of lows and (relative) highs since March. We spend a lot of time thinking about things, and thinking about what we're thinking. We slightly less able to nail down how we're feeling.If you journal (I do not, don't judge me) you might be able to track your feelings and tie them to behaviors. "Aha! I felt this way when I ate a whole pizza and entire pint of ice cream." We sure do track a lot of our activity these days. Our steps, our calories, our productivity. But our moods, less so. Understanding what drove a mood, though I have some suspicions, might lead to changes in behavior, or the ability to pre-empt it. I doubt I would have the discipline to do anything about feeling anxious after binge watching 24-hours of horror movies and cable news. I'm sure you'll agree it is unavoidable.At times, I've thought I was protecting myself if someone asked how I was doing and I held back. Preventing the awkward reveal of some vulnerability. But these days, I wonder if I could even answer truthfully from minute to minute.I was very interested in recent research done by Nonfiction Research tracking emotion of a large population: Spotify users. Ingeniously, they used the titles of playlists as indications of a mood or sum of moods and went about an analysis of the people who created those playlists, or others like them, and what they were feeling.

The story appears to be told through present day and flashbacks and looks like it has the potential to be a gripping political war story. Slicing onto Netflix like a Machete through jungle scrub, June 12th.  ‘Force of Nature’ - What do you think is worse? Being stuck in a Category 5 hurricane OR having armed thugs come to murder you and steal $55 million dollars from you? It’s a tough ultimatum… but what if I said that you had armed thugs coming to steal $55 million dollars from you WHILE THERE IS A GOD DAMN CATEGORY 5 HURRICANE right outside your front door?! That’s right, things could always get worse as we find out in the trailer for ‘Force of Nature’! Legendary good guy Mel Gibson plays an old (retired?) police man who is bunker-ed down with his daughter (Kate Bosworth) in the storm and when the police (Lead by Emile Hirsch) tell them to evacuate, old man Gibson ain’t having a bad of it! Stubborn bastard! But for good reason, he has $55 million somewhere in the building and bad, bad people want it. How will they survive being trapped by the storm and ‘gang-stahs’?! Well as the trailer so INGENIOUSLY put it: ‘When it rains, it pours!’. Sliding onto on demand like an old man caught in a downpour, June 30th!  ‘The Outpost’ -

Tessa Hadley is the author of six highly praised novels, Accidents in the Home, which was longlisted for the Guardian First Book Award, Everything Will Be All Right, The Master Bedroom, The London Train, Clever Girl and The Past, and three collections of stories, Sunstroke, Married Love and Bad Dreams. The Past won the Hawthornden Prize for 2016, and Bad Dreams won the 2018 Edge Hill Short Story Prize. She lives in London and is Professor of Creative Writing at Bath Spa University. Her stories appear regularly in the New Yorker and other magazines. Alexandr and Christine and Zachary and Lydia have been close friends since they first met in their twenties. Thirty years later Alex and Christine are spending a leisurely summer evening at home when they receive a call from a distraught Lydia. Zach is dead. In the wake of this profound loss, the three friends find themselves unmoored; all agree that Zach was the sanest and kindest of them all, the irreplaceable one they couldn't afford to lose. Inconsolable, Lydia moves in with Alex and Christine. But instead of loss bringing them closer, the three of them find over the following months that it warps their relationships, as old entanglements and grievances rise from the past, and love and sorrow give way to anger and bitterness. Late in the Day explores the tangled webs at the centre of our most intimate relationships, to expose how beneath the seemingly dependable arrangements we make for our lives lie infinite alternate configurations. Ingeniously moving between past and present and through the intricacies of her characters' thoughts and interactions, Tessa Hadley once again shows that she has ‘become one of this country's great contemporary novelists. She is equipped with an armoury of techniques and skills that may yet secure her a position as the greatest of them.' (Anthony Quinn Guardian) Recorded 17 September 2019

Teaching Halachah Teaching halachah , whether it's at the Shabbat table with one's family, a teacher in the classroom, or a Rabbi with his congregants, is generally quite challenging. Many people enjoy studying Humash, Mussar and Aggadah (stories and teachings in the Midrash), but few people become excited over the story of Halachah . Rabbenu Yosef Haim of Baghdad (1835-1909), more commonly known as the Ben Ish Hai, the name of his most famous and most popular work, tells us how he sought to overcome this problem. The work Ben Ish Hai is a compendium of weekly lectures which Rabbenu Yosef Haim delivered each week over the course of two years in his synagogue in Baghdad. He delivered weekly lectures for much more than just two years – lectures which went on for two hours and which were attended by many hundreds of men, women and children – but he chose the lectures of a certain two-year period for publication in this work. The work Ben Ish Hai is unique in that it consists of halachic material, each section of which is introduced with a discussion of Aggadah related to that week's parashah. Ingeniously, the Ben Ish Hai blends the halachic discussion into the section of Aggadah , finding a point of connection between the parashah and a practically relevant area of Halachah . In his introduction to this work, the Ben Ish Hai explains why he followed this system. He cites the Gemara's comment in Masechet Sanhedrin (38) that when Rabbi Meir lectured, he would spend one-third of the lecture discussing Halachah , another third talking about topics in Aggadah , and the other third telling משלים (stories). The reason, the Ben Ish Hai explains, is because בהלכות בלבד אין לב המון העם נמשך אחריהם – laymen are not generally drawn to words of Halachah . They generally find Aggadah and stories more interesting, and are less likely to pay close attention to la halachic discourses. Therefore, Rabbi Meir would incorporate Aggadah and stories into his lectures, thereby keeping the people's interest and attention so that they would learn and absorb the halachot he taught. The Ben Ish Hai proceeds to cite the story told in Masechet Sotah (40) of two Sages, Rabbi Abahu and Rabbi Hiyya bar Abba, who went to a certain place and delivered lectures. Rabbi Hiyya spoke about halachic matters, and he drew a much smaller crowd than Rabb Abahu, who lectured on Aggadah . Rabbi Hiyya felt dismayed over the low turnout to his lecture, and Rabbi Abahu consoled him by drawing a comparison to two merchants who came to a city, one peddling diamonds and the other cheap trinkets. The vast majority of the townspeople could not afford diamonds, and thus they naturally flocked to the second merchant. Similarly, masses will flock to hear a lecture on Aggadah , and only a few scholarly individuals will go hear complex halachic discourses. Rabbi Hiyya was selling “diamonds,” so-to-speak, teaching high-level, complex material, and so naturally, only those who could “afford” and understand such advanced material attended his lecture. Therefore, the Ben Ish Hai writes, a lecturer who wishes to teach Halachah to the masses must do so by incorporating halachic material in his talks on Mussar and Aggadah , and only in this way will he draw the people's interest. Rather than teaching Halachah on its own, the Rabbi should try blending Halachah with lighter material so he can keep the audience's attention. Every parent is a teacher. The Torah explicitly commands, ושננתם לבניך – that we must teach our children Torah. In order to fulfill this obligation effectively, we are well-advised to follow the Ben Ish Hai's pedagogical approach. Pulling out a halachic text and reading it at the Shabbat table, even for just several minutes, is not likely to keep most children's attention or arouse their enthusiasm. We need to try, to whatever extent possible, to incorporate halachic instruction within a context that will draw the children's interest, such as through intriguing stories. At the Pesach seder , for example, Halachah requires parents to do certain unusual things כדי שישאלו התינוקות – in order to pique the children's interest so they ask questions and get involved. Every Shabbat, too, parents should try to use their imagination and creativity to find a way to teach Halachah in a way that arouses interest. Just as medicine sometimes needs a sugar coating for children to be willing to take it, somewhat similarly, dry, complex halachic material needs to be “sugarcoated” with light, interesting subject matter in order for children to “ingest” it. The more we are able to teach Halachah in a fun and enjoyable way, the more successful we will be in conveying the material and leading our children towards a lifetime of halachic observance.

The issue of high ticket-prices is rarely discussed openly within the North Bay theater community, nor do many seem eager to talk about the arguable effect of prices on the widely reported erosion of the audience for live theater. But it’s an issue the community thinks, and worries about, nonetheless. It takes money to put on a show. But it’s not unreasonable to expect that the more you pay, the better a show you get. A fully professional, Equity theater such as Marin Theater Company can charge what they do because the quality of their productions tends to be consistently excellent. Training programs like those at SRJC, Summer Repertory theater, College of Marin and SSU continue to have solid audience followings, despite uneven and understandably student-level work, because they rarely charge more than fifteen dollars a ticket. But when the average North Bay community theater show costs 28 or 29 dollars—and almost always requires the audience to overlook the acceptability of at least a few eager-but-not-always-stellar actors, singers and musicians—the cost, when weighed against the quality, invariably works to drive down overall audience attendance, sending those potential patrons to other entertainment options, ones that deliver more dependable bang for the buck. Well, for maximum theatrical bang, there is no better bargain for your buck right now than Curtain Theater’s joyously lowbrow, energetically slapstick production of William Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors, running through September 11 in Mill Valley. Not only is the show good. It’s free. Yes, a hat is passed after the show, but given that the average per-patron donation for pass-the-basket shows is ten-fifteen dollars, this ludicrously over-the-top, highly energetic, crowd-pleasingly hilarious show easily offers the best all around bang-for-buck value to anyone seeking a bit of cleverly-wrought afternoon entertainment. Staged outdoors in the pleasantly redwood-shaded Old Mill Park, director Carl Jordan takes what is possibly Shakespeare’s crudest comedy, sets it in the 1920s, and adds a live band playing atmospheric tunes of the era, plus a few modern songs adapted to fit the style. Ingeniously mining the story for every possible pratfall, fart joke, rubber-chicken slap, and unexpectedly crude-gesture hibernating somewhere in the Bard’s gleefully bawdy text, Jordan’s cast—who should all be awarded prizes for most miles logged in a single onstage performance—attack this opportunity for outrageousness with an enthusiasm that astounds as often as it delights, even if Shakespeare’s ingenious language occasionally gets a bit muddied in the process. In the city of Ephesus—established as a colorfully dangerous place by Steve Coleman’s brilliant storybook set and Amanda Morando’s sexy performance of Coolio’s ‘Gangster’s Paradise’’—Antipholus of Syracuse (Adam Niemann) and his faithful servant Dromio (Heather Cherry) suddenly arrive, unaware that as children they were each separated from identical twins bearing their same names. The other Antipholus and Dromio (Skylar Collins and Nick Christenson) now live in Ephesus. Confusion quickly ensues as one set of twins is mistaken for the other, leading the resident Antipholus to accidentally alienate his wife (Melissa Claire) and make his sister-in-law (Heather Gordon) think he has fallen in love with her. Additional bits about gangsters, the twins’ father facing execution at sunset, and a frustrated goldsmith (Alexis Christenson, her hilariously snorty laugh a true thing of beauty) all bring value-added laughs to this first-rate example of how to give more while charging less. ‘Comedy of Errors runs Saturdays, Sundays and Labor Day, through Sept. 11, at Old Mill Park Amphitheater in Mill Valley. All shows are at 2:00 p.m. and are Free. Further info can be found at curtaintheatre.org

You Are There presents "The Defeat of the Spanish Armada" 8/11/47 The Spanish Armada was a fleet assembled and dispatched by King Phillip II of Spain in attempt to invade England in 1588. His attempt was unsuccessful. Queen Elizabeth I of England held the defeat of the armada as one of her greatest achievements, assisting the decline of the Spanish Empire. The armada had a mission of both political and religious aims. King Phillip, the leader of the Roman Catholic Spain, was not able to stop a revolt in of his Protestant subjects in the Netherlands, a revolt which began in 1566, aided by Protestant England. By 1586, Phillip had decided that he could not defeat the Dutch until he had defeated England first. Long time religious rivalry between Spain and England was hoped to be resolved by King Phillip in the dethroning of Queen Elizabeth, reconverting England to Catholicism. The plan for conquering had begun. This plan consisted of the coordination of a fleet to sail from Spain and an army from the Netherlands to create a simultaneous invasion of England. His force of 130 ships and more than 30,000 men was to be led by Alonso PerÃz GuzmÃn, duke of Medina- Sidonia. England was aware of the Spanish plans, attacking it at CÃdiz, Spain in 1587, succeeding in delaying it for a year. By July of 1588, the armada was spotted off the coast of England on July 29. Lord Charles Howard intercepted it with a larger English fleet near Plymouth, and for the next week made small attacks on the Spanish in battles off of Plymouth, Portland Bill, and the Isle of Wight. Unable to break the Spanish Armada, they waited for their chance at a big blow. The opportunity finally arrived when the armada anchored near Calais, France, hoping to join troops scheduled to sail from the Netherlands. Ingeniously, Howard ordered ships set on fire to be sent against the armada, producing a panic that broke the Spanish formation. In the ensuing battle of Gravelines, on August 8, the Spanish were defeated by England and the armada sailed home with remaining ships that were heavily damaged to Spain; 67 of the original 130 ships reached Spain, most in poor condition. The War however between England and Spain lasted until 1604, despite the defeat of the Spanish Armada. Yet the defeat brought about English nationalism, securing Protestantism as Englandâs state religion. In contrast, for Spain it was a humiliating defeat, nearly destroying the national treasury of Spain.
