Intro Thanks to new Mayor patron Blaize Background (2:42) Shang-Chi created by Steve Engleheart & Jim Starlin in Special Marvel Edition #15 (Dec. 1973) Shang-Chi introduced as the son of Fu Manchu, an evil sorcerer bent on world domination - his white mother was chosen based on her genetics - Shang was raised to be an assassin and serve his father, but on his first mission to kill one of his father's rivals, he has a change of conscience, and discovers his father is the true evil Early stories largely based around defeating his father's henchmen and doing everything he can to stop him - also based heavily in racist Yellow Peril tropes Often teamed up with other martial artists, like White Tiger, Iron Fist, and Daughters of the Dragon After finally destroying his father's organization, he retired to become a fisherman, but was drawn out to assist former colleagues at MI-6 Joined the Marvel Knights, run by Daredevil, to take down the Punisher and his extrajudicial killings Joined the second iteration of Heroes for Hire during Civil War, and began a relationship with Tarantula, although it was over quickly due to her violent tendencies Joined the Secret Avengers to help track down his father, who had been resurrected again Gained spider powers during the Spider-Island event, but when he mutated into a spider, Iron Fist used his chi powers to cure him Joined other Asian heroes in the Protectors and the Agents of Atlas - together they fought Sindr, Ismenios, and other villains Later became the Supreme Commander of the Five Weapons Society, his father's old organization, but vowed to use it for good - this put him in conflict with other members of the group, but several of them allied to his cause Was temporarily the host of the Phoenix Force when it was seeking someone new, but when he refused to kill Captain America in battle, the Phoenix rejected him and left his body Tracked down his half-sister, who had left the society, and convinced her to return Issues (9:41) Dealing with having a mass murdering villain for a father No childhood outside of training (15:45) Raised thinking the Western world was horrible & out to get him (23:24) Break (33:18) Plugs for BetterHelp, Freudian Sips, and Saladin Ahmed Treatment (35:12) In-universe - Help him hone energy sensing abilities Out of universe - Address cultural differences, and meet the patient where they are without being condescending (38:16) Skit (49:14) DOC: Hello Shang-Chi, I'm Dr. Issues. SHANG-CHI: Greetings, doctor. D: I'd tell you to make yourself comfortable, but it seems you've already done that.  SC: Comfort is a luxury seldom offered, and even more rarely accepted. Forgive me if this ironically makes you uncomfortable. D: No, it's fine. We don't have a “no shirt, no shoes, no service” sign out front for a reason. This is a place for calm and peace.  SC: I am sure you mean well, and truly believe that. But sadly, Doctor, wherever I go, chaos follows me like a tail attached to a cat, and I am certain this office will be no different. D: That must be difficult to deal with.  SC: I long ago accepted my fate. My father's influence is far-reaching, and even without him, there are many who would seek to usurp the title of Master of Kung-Fu. Even as I agreed to meet with you, I pondered whether there was a chance this was a trap for a sneak attack. D: I'm certainly glad you trusted me enough to come here, for what it's worth. What made you finally agree?  SC: I spoke to some trusted associates who have been clients of yours. Their experience and faith in you was enough to convince me.  D: So now that you're here, what do you want to discuss? SC: At this point in my life, I am trying to transition my path to one of less fighting. However, as I said, so much of what I do involves martial arts that this seems impossible.  D: No forks in the road. That's one way to look at it. I'll pause on that because I see on your face that there is more to it. SC: I know that you think I am being blind to other options, but it is not as you say. I have taken service jobs. I have been a teacher of the craft. I do not wish to abandon all that I know for the sake of comfort. And still...something haunts me. Other noble heroes invite me. If I am not asked first, then I am chosen as a consequence. I am thankful that I have survived so far, and I do not fear death. But there is this pestering essence that the world does not accept me as I am. D: That's...heavy. It's rare that I'm taken aback by someone due to their eloquence. I have to admit, I got lost in it! SC: Forgive me if I am rude, but your statement itself is an example of it. D: I'm still lost. SC: You said I speak well. D: *pause* OH MY GOD I AM SO SORRY I DID THAT I'VE HAD IT DONE TO ME I AM AN IDIOT I WOULD NEVER MEAN TO DO THAT ON PURPOSE I  SC: *laughs* Your chi is genuine. But do you realize how common that is, how through no forethought, we are verbally sparring? I know that is how it will be for the rest of my life. At least, that's how I perceive it. D: Perception is reality. I won't hide my mistakes, and I'm thankful for your latitude. But that tells me your experiences have been way more hostile than a random faux pas. SC: You have quickly redeemed yourself. Yes, there are blatant examples that happen. How am I supposed to grant grace to those who don't do the same? Unfortunately, my father did me no favors. I carried a similar yoke of disdain across my shoulders for those I only knew through his eyes. I am grateful for my enlightenment so many years ago as a young man. But I feel those same shackles weighing down those around me when they see me, not knowing what to make of me, what to say, fearful or angry and not even understanding why. D: It's not your - or anyone's - singular purpose to enlighten every individual. You'll make yourself feel worse that way. Focus on the successes, be they one or one million. SC: You know, it's not just the common man. I was chosen by the Phoenix Force once. I fought Captain America. I had proven myself ...but because I showed grace, I was eliminated by Phoenix itself. Still...I would make that decision again. D: A worthwhile and rigorous process is the true path, regardless of the outcome. Thank you for reminding me of what my own Attendings taught me. But using a great thought process, even when all emotions say to ignore it, that's true mastery. SC: It is fair to say we understand one another so far.  D: Oh believe me, it's hard for me to keep my chill when someone calls me a SC: *cuts him off* Wait. D: What? SC: Something is amiss. D: I don't -  SC: Silence. *beat* Get down. *glass shatters* ASSASSIN LEADER: SHANG-CHI! THE WHITE DRAGON CALLS FOR YOUR DEATH! D: Who's the White Dragon? SC: *fighting sounds throughout* Unclear. There have been several with that name. I watched the last one die. Beheaded by my brother. It seems someone new has taken up the mantle.  D: And I thought my family was difficult to deal with… SC: *to fighters* You all fight well, but in service to a madman. There will be no shame in submitting now. I promise this. But continue to fight me, and you and your master will suffer great pain. AL: You will join us, Shang-Chi, or die. Either way, the White Dragon Clan will be victorious! SC: There is no victory in your falsehoods.  D: But there will be a huge insurance claim coming your way! AL: The doctor is of no consequence! Subdue him or kill him, it is of little matter. D: I'M OUT! SC: *more fighting sounds, tapering off* there is no need, doctor. D: You...just took down a hit squad, while conversing at the same level as your original discourse with me…*random movement sounds* AND YOU'RE FIXING THE ROOM?!!! SC: I have brought pain and despair to your office. For this, I must apologize. D: Ok, first off, if we are going to have sessions together, do not apologize for saving my life.  Second, if it weren't insulting to a man of your stature *whispers* and I could afford it *normal* I would hire you as my bodyguard on sight. SC: Or, I could teach you, in exchange for your psychiatric services. Bartering at it's finest. D: “The Way of The Issues…” I'm sold!

Episode 05 Show Notes 0:00 - Intro Thanks for listening!  We’ve enjoyed your feedback and would welcome more! 1:18 - Introducing a New Format Our typical format is to:  Define a musical term Make listening recommendations based on that term Answer a question from a listener Every 5th episode, we’ll take a slightly deeper dive into just one piece of music This could be an album, a musical, the score of a film, etc. Today’s piece is a symphony Our goal is to give you a few things to listen for in each movement of this symphony focusing on principles from our first four episodes: Melody Harmony Rhythm & Meter Timbre 2:37 - Introducing Dvorak’s 9th Symphony: From the New World Written by Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904), a Bohemian (Czech) orchestral composer Premiered by the New York Philharmonic in 1893 Dvorak traveled to America to be the director of the National Conservatory of Music in New York Wrote some of his most famous works while in the states (American String Quartet, his cello concerto, and this symphony) Dvorak opened the conservatory to African American students Dvorak believed that composers interested in capturing the American sound should study the music of Native Americans and African Americans Not very many people agreed with him at the time Dvorak wrote original themes inspired by Native American and African American traditions, not exact replications of themes from these cultures With the exception of Swing Low, Sweet Chariot Garrett compares Dvorak’s goal to the Foo Fighters’ concept behind their album/documentary “Sonic Highways” 7:31 - What is a symphony? A multi-movement work for the symphony orchestra Movements are sort of like small pieces of music that make up a bigger piece of music Garrett asks if movements are like chewing bites of a cake instead of shoving an entire cake into your mouth Amanda responds that it’s more like four cupcakes decorated slightly differently but all part of the same batch or set Garrett compares movements to chapters in a book Amanda compares them to books in a series of books because movements are usually pretty complete unto themselves Symphonies typically have 3 movements (early classical) or 4 movements (standard in the Romantic period), and they have a typical order: Fast Slow Dance Fast A note about when to applaud: If the work has multiple movements, try to follow along with the order of them and wait until the end of the last movement to clap If nothing else, wait until the conductor puts his arms all the way down and keeps them down… that’s usually the big ending! People used to clap whenever they wanted, but now we’re snobs about it 12:08 - Movement I. “Adagio - Allegro molto" Melody: Three important themes: A bold, fanfare-like theme (with a statement and a response) that is often played in the brass A minor melody with a simple accompaniment that is first played in the flute We’re not sure why, but Dvorak pointed to this theme as being influenced by indigenous music traditions. He may have thought the minor mode made it sound indigenous A theme that seems to be a pretty direct quotation and development of “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” (an important African American spiritual) Rhythm: the 1st and 3rd theme have very similar rhythms… almost identical! Sidenote: Dvorak will introduce great themes during each movement of the piece, but he’ll also bring back previous movements’ themes (especially the opening theme and the Swing Low theme) Perhaps a drinking game could be played???  (Please drink responsibly.) One word description of Movement I: Amanda: Exploration Garrett: Outset 17:49 - Movement II. “Largo” The most famous movement from this piece Melody: Several years after it was written and premiered, a student of Dvorak, William Arms Fisher, added lyrics to the theme from this movement (“Goin’ Home”) Timbre: The Goin’ Home theme was originally written for clarinet! Dvorak changed it to English Horn because he thought it better matched the vocal timbre of Harry T. Burleigh, the student who exposed Dvorak to many African spirituals Amanda also points out that the timpani notes in this movement are another great timbre Harmony: A passage of big, open chords played by the brass section multiple times throughout this movement Michael Beckerman called this the “Once Upon a Time” figure One word description: Garrett: Nostalgia Dvorak was very homesick while in America Amanda: Yearning 24:32 - Movement III. "Scherzo. Molto Vivace" Rhythm & Meter: The meter is very obvious in this movement, and this is the only movement in triple meter (3 beats per measure) Melody: 3 more great melodies introduced in this movement Sidenote: The opening of this scherzo matches the opening of Beethoven’s 9th symphony’s scherzo!  They sound musically very similar. Dvorak did likely did this on purpose as a nod to Beethoven Even Sider Note: Amanda got the movement number wrong in the episode (womp, womp).  Beethoven mixes things up, so his scherzo is Movement II, not Movement III.  Idea still applies though! One word description: Garrett: Chase Amanda: Tension 28:26 - Movement IV. "Allegro con fuoco” Melody: One last big, bold theme Dominates the movement and later signals the end of the piece Melody: Garrett feels that this movement is a battle of all the themes!  See his list of theme battles below! Harmony/Timbre: The last chord of the piece Unique because the entire orchestra hits a chord together, but suddenly everyone cuts out and only the very soft woodwind section sustains Sidenote: The opening of this movement is… Jaws! John Williams borrowed this figure for his shark movie soundtrack On a case by case basis, as long as you properly attribute the material you’ve borrowed, most people in classical music don’t care about this type of borrowing... Just don’t try to pass anything off as your own work if it’s isn’t actually your own work! If Dvorak were alive at the time of Jaws, maybe he’d have wanted a writer’s credit? “You’re only as good as who you steal from.” - A tongue in cheek quote from a professor Garrett and Amanda both know One word descriptions: Garrett: Argument Amanda: Territorial Bonus: Garrett makes a claim for “Three Blind Mice” as another quotation Amanda believes this is purely coincidence 35:40 - How to Enjoy a Symphony (35:53) If you sit down at a concert and see a symphony on the program that comes from 1815 on, get ready for a long ride During the romantic period, symphonies were expanded and got longer and longer Dvorak's 9th symphony is around 42 minutes long! Amanda says that if people will go to a movie theater to watch three hours of Avengers, then they definitely have the capacity to enjoy 40 minutes of great music Garrett says it’s one crime show episode Amanda says it’s three Spongebobs (37:42) Expect thematic development! When you hear a melody, try to hold onto it because it will likely come back again Expect the composer to transform and expand on the themes you hear (38:29) Don’t expect to stay completely engaged and focused for 40 minutes straight Amanda points out that not even the members of the orchestra are fully, completely focused for the entire length of the piece Tuba player is a great example because that person only plays the 2nd movement (and plays less than 20 notes) Dvorak wrote highs and lows, so it’s okay to let your attention ebb and flow a little bit Garrett compares some parts to background info/setting in a novel Amanda compares it to description in a novel It’s all important, but it doesn’t all require the same level of engagement If someone falls asleep, only wake them up if they start snoring Even trained pros want to be whisked away by the music This is musical storytelling!  Let it take you where it wants to go (41:20) Expect repetition Composers have to walk a fine line between variety and repetition Repetition can ground you, but too much can bore you Variety is the spice of life, but too much spice ruins dinner There are two types of repetition: exact and non exact Exact repetition:  “This piece of music worked once… it’ll work again!” Tension and release (repetition can add to either) The composer is saying, “I want you to remember this.” Non-exact repetition: A timbral change: maybe the same melodies and harmonies but played by different instruments or different groups of instrument Accompaniment changes: Rhythms used might change, additional parts might come in If you hear the same melody, something might have changed elsewhere in the orchestra Ask yourself if it's different and try to figure out what changed (44:10) Nothing beats seeing a symphony live Amanda: the best sound system in the world can’t compete with the weakest concert hall Amanda: I can’t appreciate the difference between 20 vs 50 vs 100 in an orchestra on youtube If the music isn’t thrilling you too much at home, it may be that you need to go see it live Think of it as not just the music but the entire experience Experience it in the right context A comparison to movies You wouldn’t judge a movie based off the one time you saw it using a portable DVD player and broken earbuds during a car ride If you’ve heard someone say, “Oh, that’s a movie you have to see in theaters,” that’s how Amanda feels about symphonies Garrett points out that Twister goes from epic to cheesy real fast when you watch it at home instead of in theaters There’s music that’s meant to be in the studio and is hard to replicate live, but the symphony is the opposite. Witness the team effort! If it’s an educational group, remember that they’re still acquiring the skills they need in order to become the pros If you’re under 80, people will be so excited to see you at a symphony concert! (47:33) You can enjoy this! The music still has value It’s up to the musicians and people involved to show you the value Once you see it, there’s nothing stopping you from enjoying this music Don’t worry that other people are understanding the music more than you are You know a lot about the music you love, and you can appreciate cool experiences!  Seek them out! Garrett advises you to ask us about concert etiquette and to seek out casual concerts More and more pro orchestras are putting on less formal concerts 49:04 - Sign Off A reminder that we’ll keep this format reserved for every 5th episode Feel free to recommend a piece you’d like us to dive into Leave us a review if you’d like!

In 1868, Scottish sailor Jack Renton found himself the captive of a native people in the Solomon Islands, but through luck and skill he rose to become a respected warrior among them. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of Renton's life among the saltwater people and his return to the Western world. We'll also catch some more speeders and puzzle over a regrettable book. Intro: Thanks to one representative's 1904 demand, the U.S. House dining room serves a perpetual bean soup.

Intro Thanks for listening and subscribing to the Clive Barker Podcast. The Only Podcast dedicated to the Imagination of Clive Barker. In this episode, 218, Jose, Ryan and Markus are joined by special guest Peggy O'Leary to talk about Clive's 2002 Young Adult novel, Abarat.  You might remember Peggy O'Leary, the teacher in Kodiak Middle School who taught Abarat to her English class with help from Clive himself. Her class was featured in the companion book, Beneath the Surface of Clive Barker's Abarat.  Sponsor: Don Bertram's Celebrate Imagination  Show Notes: Abarat. 2002, Clive Barker Abarat Teaching Material The following teaching unit has been constructed by the wonderfully insightful Peggy O'Leary of Kodiak Middle School in Alaska. These materials are available as a resource for all teachers and parents for use in classes or home-schooling. Our huge thanks to Peggy whose own classes know just how special she is! Page 1.

Our 2013 Happy Birthday Post to Peggy O'Leary KMS Students Enjoy Exchange with Author Clive Barker Revelations: Beneath the Surface of Clive Barker's Abarat Clive Barker: Revelations Revised E-Book Edition Soon After we finished the episode, I got this message from Peggy O'Leary. This shows the impact both Peggy's teaching had, and of course of Abarat. You're not gonna believe this, but just now I got a Friend request from a former student, which I accepted...and she immediately sent me a message asking the name of "those amazing books we read in your class!! I went to an art show yesterday that instantly reminded me of the incredible art in the books and it drove me nuts I couldn't remember the name of them. Can you please remind me the name of them?"

Intro • Thanks for you Intro!

INTRO: Thanks for listening to our podcast today. In this podcast you’re going to hear from our CEO and President Brad Post who is speaking to a group of college students.   Brad Post, Create the Movement: My name’s Brad Post. I’m the President and CEO of Create the Movement. And my story starts out, I ended up getting my degree, but I turned a four-year degree into 14 years. So, it took me a little bit longer than most people. I got a degree, or a bachelor in ministry. So, my background is ministry. But I started at a young age. Probably, I got married at 21, had kids at 22. So, I had to quickly get into – quickly start working to supply for my family. So, I got into the corporate world. I worked at a place called Citi, if anyone can recognize the umbrella. And my goal was to be the youngest CEO of a Fortune 500 company. So, I was very driven. I wanted to move up. I started at the bottom in Tulsa. Worked at an office in Tulsa. Moved to Broken Arrow. Then I moved to Tampa, and then to Atlanta. And when I was in Atlanta, actually when I was in Tampa – just kind of my testimony, I grew up in church. I had values of church. I could quote scripture. But I didn’t have a relationship with Jesus. So, when I started down in Tampa, I started going to church, and I played the guitar. So, I got into the Praise Team. Was saved. Moved up to Atlanta. Was working in the corporate world. My pastor started mentoring me in leadership. And I took a 75% pay cut, and a giant step of faith, and went from the corporate world into full-time ministry. And we were the fast-growing church. Grew from probably 50 members to a 1000 members over about a year, year and a half. And I started out as an assimilation pastor, connections pastor, just trying to set up systems and structures for people to connect to the church: small groups, Church 101, 201, 301, the membership classes, that type of stuff. And I also, about a year after that, felt led to go into student ministry. So, I went into student ministry and grew the student ministry. We were going to a lot of church conferences, fastest-growing church conferences, and I felt led to start a church. But my heart was in Tulsa. Born and raised here. Our vacations, we didn’t go to the beach or to the mountains, we came back to Tulsa to visit family. So, my heart was here. So, we moved back here. And moved back, no job, no place to live – just on a step of faith. And it ended up we had a place to live. I lived with my father-in-law and mother-in-law, so we stayed there. And I knew that I was going to have to be bi-vocational as I planted a church, and also needed to work to supply for my family. So, I got a job at another company, a marketing company here in Tulsa. And started working sales for them. I was selling them websites, and search engine optimization, and social media packages. So, I had to learn really quickly. So, I was working there selling products that I didn’t know what they were, so I had to learn. Planting a church. I’ve got three kids. You know? Active in the community. I was burning the candle at both ends. We were doing quite a bit. I shared a little bit last week. We started our church, and had a friend of mine help me build a website. So, I wanted to learn how to show up in the search engines. And so, I started blog posting. Started researching, and seeing how we could show up well in the search engines. We did. We planted the church. Worked it for about a year and a half. And then just felt, my wife and I, just felt like God wasn’t calling us to create a movement within a church. I felt Him saying it was going to be more in business. So, stepped out of the company that I was working at. Helped grow it from three employees up to 18 employees in about a year and a half. And we just had some substantial growth. There was just kind of difference in vision on where the company was going in leadership. So, I went and started my own company. And that’s where Create the Movement came ...
