‘The China Market Doesn't Mean as Much as It Used to for Hollywood': Chris Fenton on Tides Turning

Com um EP e dois singles, cantora prepara primeiro álbum com quatro faixas em português Com um livro de poesias e um EP, lançados em 2008 e 2017, respectivamente, essa Paulista, natural de Batatais, interior de São Paulo, é uma montanha-russa de emoções. Disposta a dar um novo rumo para sua história, mergulhou em meados de 2002 em intensas aulas de canto, violão e piano e, em 2011, decidiu abandonar o Direito e se dedicar à música. O ponta pé inicial na carreira se deu em meados de 2007, durante uma viagem para a África do Sul. Lá, passou a compor em inglês, e mesmo ainda atuando como advogada, fez pequenos shows e trabalhos promocionais em São Paulo, Nova Iorque, Chicago e Nashville. “It Used to Be You (Sorry Japan)”, faixa do EP “Shades of Love”, lançado em 2017, nasceu durante um período de profunda reflexão da cantora. A ideia da canção surgiu como catarse para aliviar o fim de um relacionamento - conta Cynthia - Quando as lágrimas não encontram mais espaço, o sentimento tem que sair de outra forma, no meu caso, é por meio de letras e melodias. A música começou sem a ideia de incluir o Japão, mas o processo de composição, que durou cerca de 2 semanas, coincidiu com o evento trágico do tsunami e aí encontrei um local para unir os dois eventos tristes. E na bridge/ponte da música, coloquei essa menção ao Japão e ao povo japonês, como forma de expressar minha incapacidade de sentir pena naquele momento e como forma de pedir desculpas por esse fato. Com direção primorosa e gravado em Tóquio e também na ilha de Honshu, “It Used to be You (Sorry Japan)” tem fotografia arrebatadora e mostra todo o encanto do Monte Fuji e também do cotidiano da noite japonesa. A ideia de ir até o Japão começou com imagens na minha cabeça dos lugares que imaginava para contar essa história - explica Cynthia - o Monte Fuji e as ruas de Tóquio lotadas de pessoas eram as imagens que mais queria colocar no vídeo. E ir até lá foi uma forma de sentir mais de perto o que aconteceu em 2011 e assim colocar mais verdade nas cenas. Também sentia que o Monte Fuji era insubstituível e imprescindível para contar essa história e fazer a ligação com o Japão – finaliza, a artista. Cynthia Silveira volta à cena com o single “Laços” e ainda prepara seu primeiro álbum para o primeiro semestre deste ano. Em estúdio desde dezembro de 2021, e com um bom acervo de canções inéditas e autorais, a artista ainda apresenta um belíssimo e romântico videoclipe gravado no interior de São Paulo - “Laços” aborda as decepções do amor, de como acreditamos que estamos no caminho certo e de repente tudo desaba, e acaba - Conta a cantora - Por outro lado, mostra também que apesar da dor é possível entender que por algum motivo aquela pessoa tinha que ter cruzado nosso caminho, e feito um laço conosco. Cynthia ganhou projeção com “It Used to be You (Sorry Japan)”, música que teve seu videoclipe gravado no Japão em 2018. De lá para cá, tem apostado em boas locações que refletem toda a sensibilidade de suas canções - O videoclipe de “Laços” foi gravado no Villa Sansu, em Araçoiaba da Serra, interior de São Paulo, um lugar de natureza exuberante com estradas e caminhos a serem desbravados. Foram 2 dias de gravações e cerca de 10 pessoas estiveram envolvidas neste projeto – Explica a cantora. Com sofisticadas imagens aéreas e luz de final de tarde, o videoclipe possui uma belíssima　fotografia que revela o jeito romântico de Cynthia fazer música - Quero com esta canção　mostrar que apesar das desavenças e “tranças” do amor, às vezes precisamos passar por esses　caminhos tortos e emaranhados para aprender as necessárias lições e seguir em frente, sempre　buscando novos caminhos e amores – Finaliza Cynthia. “Laços” já está no mundo digital e expõe toda a versatilidade de Cynthia que ainda toca violão e piano.

Any collateral pain is self-inflicted, and they seem committed to the process, so I don’t feel too bad hammering on them about it. Still, for readers of this newsletter, most of whom have next year’s Ikon Passes tucked into their jacket pockets by Easter, my ceaseless yammering about walk-up ticket prices can probably seem tedious and abstract, like detailing the logistical challenges of sustainable asteroid mining or the tolerable viral load of a brontosaurus: who cares?Which is a fair question. But as the three dozen or so mega-resorts that have mainlined this triple-digit ticket tactic race toward $300 for a day of skiing, a cartoonishly absurd double universe has materialized. One that makes comparisons like this possible: for $10 more than an Ikon-oblivious skier would pay for one day at Steamboat, they could have skied 162 days at 81 ski areas with a $279 Indy Pass. Which is probably more days than most skiers rack up in a decade, and more ski areas than they visit in a lifetime.It’s a hell of a bargain, is what I’m trying to say here, and an amazing product that the greater skiing public has, so far, failed to appreciate in large numbers. Indy predicted 400,000 redemptions this past season. The number came in at 125,000. That’s a 68.75 percent miss, which Fish attributes, in this interview, to overzealous predictions coming off the bomber Covid-induced boom season of 2020-21. What that means, for us skiers, is that this thing probably has plenty of room left to grow.“Growth” means a couple things here. First, more resorts are incoming. Fish promised as much in this interview, even in already crowded New England. The smaller-than-expected number of redemptions means the 85 percent cut of Indy revenue that goes to the resorts was not as diluted as Fish feared it could have been (he explains how the pass operates in the interview). Plus, the new Allied Resorts discount program is broad enough that this thing could easily reach a total of 200 downhill partners (it’s not unthinkable that the addition of cross-country ski areas could push that number toward 300).Second, more skiers are likely coming too. That’s a good thing. Numbers bring stability. Wouldn’t more skiers mean more redemptions? Yes, but it means more revenue, too, and since it’s likely that the most hardcore skiers – i.e. those most likely to redeem 30 days – are already in. Fish was comfortable enough with the average number of redemptions that he held prices steady for next season – and sales are strong as a result.For all the attention The Storm lavishes on the Indy Pass, the product is an industry minnow, not even three years old. Yet somehow this little pass with as many annual visits as an Eagle County weekend has stapled itself to the marquee alongside the Epic and Ikon passes, a toddler in size 14 boots. It’s been astonishing to watch it grow, but it will be more amazing still to see what happens when it grows into those knee-high kicks. Fish is the first three-time guest on The Storm Skiing Podcast. Yes, because he’s generous with his time and humble in his approach, but also because he keeps coming up with new things to say, keeps making the story more compelling, keeps making us believe that this is something worth talking about.What we talked aboutContinued discussion on whether any of the Mt. Hood ski areas would ever land on Indy; redemption and sales totals versus expectations for this past ski season; how the Indy Pass works from a business point of view; how Indy is able to sign headliners like Powder Mountain and Jay Peak, which could easily align with the Epic or Ikon passes; how Cannon kept visits high even as the mountain added an enormous number of blackout dates; White Pass finds the Epkon refugees; the power of Brundage and Tamarack as a combined destination; other popular Indy combos; the New England state that will definitely get a new full Indy Pass partner before next season; expansion potential in New York; the chances of Jay staying with Indy post-sale (whenever that happens); why Indy Pass prices will stay steady for 2022-23; why the Indy Pass processing fee exists and why it’s here to stay; the Indy Switch Pass; untangling the spaghetti bowl of last year’s blackout dates; fixing the Saturday problem; thoughts on the recent additions of Kelly Canyon, Bluewood, and Ski Sawmill; the surprising appeal of Swain; finally breaking into Colorado, with Sunlight; the number of Indy Pass visits that originate out of state; thoughts on Japan; dispensing with the resort target number; losing Marmot Basin; the genesis and purpose of the Allied Resorts program; begging Doug to shift Burke to full partner status; and why Indy began including cross-country ski areas and how the response has been so far.          Why I thought that now was a good time for this interviewSince it debuted in 2008, the Epic Pass has both held steady and constantly evolved. Its premise, from the beginning, was fairly basic: unlimited access to all Vail Resorts, all the time. It launched with six mountains, and now includes access to 9,000. But almost annually, Vail has added some innovation or another: the Epic Local Pass, various versions of the Epic Day Pass, local and midweek passes, a massive lodging and on-mountain discount program, the Epic Mix tracking app, a payment plan, etc. Some of these innovations were more useful than others, but every year, we can expect something new. And that’s in addition to all the extra ski areas.Vail, skiing’s imperial fleet, rippling with aircraft carriers and battleships and submarines, is well equipped to dream up such annual salvos of newness. It’s impressive that Indy, with a staff that would be insufficient to captain a 30-foot fishing boat, has orchestrated a commando version of this evolution. The 2019 Indy Pass cost $199 and delivered two days each at 34 ski areas. There were no blackouts and no product variation (a few partners offered an add-on pass). The next year: 52 ski areas, plus a $99 kids pass and a $129 add-on pass, available uniformly across all partner ski areas. The Indy+ Pass and a payment plan also debuted. 2021 brought a (probably too large, Fish now admits) price increase, but access to 66 ski areas at launch and an additional 17 by December, including four in Japan.  By the time Indy confirmed its 2022-23 lineup last month, the roster stood at 83 downhill partners. An ambitious cross-country initiative seeks to add more than 30 Nordic partners by winter, and the standalone XC pass is just $69 (all Indy Pass holders get the XC days). And the Allied Resorts program, announced earlier this week, ensures that nearly any ski area that’s interested can fold itself into this nationally marketed network. Fish also held prices steady, upped the renewal discount, and introduced the Indy Switch Pass to encourage Epkon snobs to reconsider.There was plenty to talk about, is my point. And Fish, as always, accommodated, on one condition: for the love of God can we keep it to an hour?Questions I wish I’d askedI had meant to ask Doug about the possibility of pre-loading Indy tickets onto resort’s RFID cards, but I didn’t get to it. While he said that such integrations were “not practical,” he did provide the following statement, teasing a pretty cool tech upgrade coming for the season after next:In partnership with our tech partner Entabeni Systems, we will be rolling out an app for the 2023-24 season [I incorrectly indicated on Twitter earlier this week that this feature would be available for next ski season] that will allow our passholders to carry their pass on their phones. Among other features, it will contain a scannable QR code that can be read at the ticket window, eliminating the need for looking them up in our system.This app can be deployed without passing any additional costs on to our customers which we’d have to do if we issued a physical pass.What we got wrongI intimated that Powder Mountain was outside of the Wasatch Mountains, but the ski area in fact lies within this mountain range. I also suggested that Winter Park was a blacked-out mountain on the Ikon Pass, which it is not (on any version of the product other than the Ikon Session Pass). Doug also referred to “Wintergreen,” West Virginia. He meant Winterplace. Wintergreen is in Virginia, and is not an Indy Pass partner. Doug also referred to the marketing director of Sunlight, Colorado as “Tony Hawks” – his name is Troy Hawks, and you can (and should) follow him on Twitter here, since he’s the man who brough Indy Pass to Colorado.Why you should buy the Indy PassIn my head, gas is always a dollar a gallon. Even decades after that fleeting era when I pushed shopping carts for $4.35 an hour and drove a rusty pick-up, any sum over $15 to fill my gas tank baffles me. Candy bars are forever lodged at 35 cents, Hostess cupcakes at 55 cents – such were the prices when I would peddle my Huffy to the neighborhood Total in the 1980s.I’m sure there’s a name for this pricing nostalgia. Whatever it’s called, the first best thing about the Indy Pass has become a liability, as It-Used-to-Cost-$199 Bro forever peppers social media with his waxings of this bygone era. “When the Indy Pass came out, it was under $200 and there were no blackouts,” he will complain. “And it came with a pair of Volkls and a free Subaru. Now it costs $279, there’s all kinds of blackouts, and the courtesy ‘vehicle’ is just a Shetland pony without a saddle. It’s all going to hell!”Bros across America need to let it go. Yes, last year’s price jump was a little extreme. Fish admits as much in the interview. But it is still a very good deal – had it debuted at $279 with its current roster, it would seem like the greatest thing ever. That’s because it is. The glory in the Indy Pass is not in what it was – a coalition of 34 broadly distributed resorts – but in what it has become and is transforming into. We’re closing in on 100 partners, and we’ll likely blow right past that by the Fourth of July. God bless America. This is one damn fine product.There is one more dumbass Bro out there that befuddles Indy’s ascension: It’s-Not-Worth-It Bro. It’s-Not-Worth-It Bro’s narrative goes something like this: yes, it’s cool that Indy put all these mountains on one pass, but they’re not the sort of ski resorts that are “worth” traveling to Montana/Idaho/Utah for or anything.I beg your pardon? Scroll back to the chart at the top of this article. Red Lodge: 2,400 vertical feet, 1,635 acres, 250 inches of annual snowfall. Powder Mountain: 2,205 vert/8,464 acres (3,000 lift-served)/400 inches. Brundage: 1,921/1,920/320. Castle: 2,833/3,592/354. Exactly which district of Narnia do you call home if these numbers leave you yawning?There are a lot of good reasons to buy an Indy Pass: you live within a few hours of a half dozen or more partners and are looking for a reasonably priced family winter. You have an Epkon pass but are leary of voyaging through the gates of Mount Snow/Keystone/Mammoth/Crystal on a midwinter Saturday. You’ve already visited every high-speed demo center on the continent and are looking for something different. You’re Van Life Bro and want to ski an entire winter for less than five dollars. You want to support skiing’s equivalent of craft beer (only, in this case, the indie label is a lot less expensive). Or you just love skiing and everything about it, and you want to understand this dynamic world to the fullest extent possible.There are good reasons not to buy the Indy Pass, too: you don’t travel much, the mountains are too far, you are happy with your local, you dad’s private plane is too big to land at any mountain town airport other than Eagle. But if your goal is lots of skiing, and if you don’t exactly need a home mountain and have a little flexibility to travel, if you value novelty and don’t mind the occasional mile-long Hall double chair ride to the summit, then lock this thing in before prices increase on May 18.More Indy Pass on The Storm Skiing Podcast:Snow Ridge, New York GM Nick MirBeaver Mountain, Utah owner Travis SeeholzerLittle Switzerland, Nordic Mountain, The Rock Co-Owner Rick SchmitzTamarack, Idaho President Scott TurlingtonShawnee Mountain, Pennsylvania CEO Nick FredericksChina Peak, California CEO Tim CoheeLutsen and Granite Peak Owner Charles SkinnerCaberfae Peaks, Michigan Co-Owner and GM Tim MeyerWhaleback Executive Director Jon Hunt (recorded pre-Indy)Titus Mountain Co-Owner Bruce Monette Jr. (recorded pre-Indy)Indy Pass Founder Doug Fish (April 27, 2021 – 2nd appearance)West Mountain, New York owners Sara and Spencer Montgomery (recorded pre-Indy)Montage Mountain Managing Owner Charles Jefferson (recorded pre-Indy)Granite Peak, Wisconsin GM Greg FisherWaterville Valley, New Hampshire GM Tim SmithBolton Valley, Vermont President Lindsay DesLauriersBousquet GM and ownership (recorded pre-Indy)Saddleback, Maine GM Andy Shepard (recorded pre-Indy)Jay Peak, Vermont GM Steve WrightCannon Mountain, New Hampshire GM John DeVivoIndy Pass Founder Doug Fish (May 31, 2020 – 1st appearance)Berkshire East and Catamount, Massachusetts Owner Jon SchaeferBurk Mountain GM Kevin Mack (recorded pre-Indy)Magic Mountain, Vermont President Geoff HathewayThe Storm publishes year-round, and guarantees 100 articles per year.

In the Navy, to "Nuke It Out" is: To reason out a problem by eliminating obvious wrong answers.

Are websites still important?Hi everyone and welcome to episode 16 of your social media journey. I hope you have had a great summer and are ready to get back into work with renewed excitement. I know that I am!Today’s episode is about the importance of having your own website and my own experience of making one from scratch. If you are someone who is worried that it is beyond your level of expertise to make your own website, you are listening to the right podcast because I am about to prove that it isn’t.Behind the scenes, I have been working on my website, www.yoursocialmediajourney.com. It might not look like much, depending on when you are listening to this episode - I hope to have it close to where I want it to be before the end of October 2019! So if you are listening after then, you will see the result of my work. If you listen to this episode beforehand, you will be able to see the “before” website.Now, why is it so important that I have a website - after all, I am a social media consultant and I should be getting all my clients on social media, right? Well, sort of! While I am a big fab of using social media for business purposes, I am also very aware of its limitations. You will have heard the phrase of using someone else’s real estate for your own business. That is exactly what social media is - unless you ARE Mr. Zuckerberg and own Facebook, you are simply a Facebook user. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever. However, if Facebook were to change their rules tomorrow, what you need to be able to figure is where YOUR business will land? Is Facebook too big to fail? No, it isn’t. Remember MySpace? Or AltaVista? Or AskJeeves? My point is that having your own website is not only peace of mind, it is still THE place people will look for you if they are to part with hard earned cash. A business that thrives only on social media is not exactly thriving, it is fully dependant on the head honchos of social media companies not changing their minds.Ok, so you are convinced about having your own website, but isn't’ it a bit too technical? Well, my friend, no, it is not anymore! There are a bunch of ways you can make your own website, with no technical knowhow needed. Before you roll your eyes, let me explain. It USED to be the case that to have a great website you absolutely needed a web designer and an IT expert, but things have changed rapidly in the last few years. You really do not need much technical knowledge to create your own website now. And besides, once you have even a BASIC website, at least your business is up and running and you save yourself thousands of pounds in doing so? Now do I have your ears?So, here is how I made my own website this time. I say this time because I have two businesses. One is called Fair Cake, you can find it at www.faircake.co.uk - that is NOT a website that I have made myself. That is an example of an expensive custom written website that my business depends on. My second business, this podcasting business, can be found on www.yoursocialmediajourney.com. Now THIS is a website that I have made entirely myself. It took me three whole days, it was a bank holiday, and I made myself this website. The reason I am such a big fan of making your own website is that you can change your mind any time you want! If you do not like a colour, change it. If you do not like an image, change it. If you do not like the way you are coming across, you can change it without spending a penny. Here is the process I followed and I hope that is useful for you - my mantra is BREAK IT DOWN. You will see what I mean -My first requirement of this website was that I was going to put my podcast episodes on it. So the first thing I did was to google “websites for podcasters”. A huge number of resources came up. Reading around, I found that podcasts need to be hosted by a different company and your website merely links to it. This was getting complicated. But somewhere, during all the googling, I found a link to a YouTube video by Jess Freeman and it was called How To Start a Podcast on Squarespace. I will link to this video in the show notes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsG1kTh5Vn0I watched her video and ended up interviewing her for my podcast once my website was up and running, META! It was episode 6 of this podcast, have a listen to it!It took me just a bit more googling around to figure out that Squarespace was looking like the right choice and I was going to use it for my website. Then I immersed my self into more YouTube videos about how Squarespace websites were built. Much tea was consumed, the occasional coffee, too. Then I found videos by Louise Henry on YouTube, also known as Solopreneur Sidekick. I also interviewed her for my podcast - what can I say, I lead a majorly meta life, it is episode 9, if you wish to listen to that one. Louise has this unique way of breaking things down into extremely simple steps on her YouTube channel. I was then hooked. This was made for me. If other people could make their own websites from scratch, so could I!The next step was opening an account on Squarespace, watching some of THEIR videos on how to get started and then I got started. I chose a theme, watched a few videos on how other people had used the theme and then set about making my own site. The images? I am bit of a dab hand with a camera, but most images are graphic design images that I use apps on my iPhone for - I use several apps, some of which are Canva, Adobe Spark, Snapseed etc. Again, mostly free stuff. You are listening to someone who loves free stuff. So I created my images on my phone, transferred them onto my computer and then onto my website.I had a clear idea of how many webpages I wanted - NOT many! Come on, we live in the age of tidying up and decluttering, why would I want a cluttered up website?! And once everything was looking lovely and clean, it was time to buy the domain. The domain is that address, yoursocialmediajourney.com - which I bought on a domain registeration website. Once I had the domain, it was a simple case of mapping my website to my domain name and bingo. I made my own website. If you are someone who is considering making your own website, I highly recommend Squarespace, it is super simple and easy to use.Coming back to why websites are so important. In the last couple of weeks, I am sure you will have noticed, the signup page slogan on Facebook homepage has changed. it used to be, “Its free and always will be” to “Its quick and easy”. Not reading too much into it, but it is a fairly significant change and if I were putting all my eggs in Facebook’s basket of fake accounts mingling with real accounts, I might think twice. So while social media is all well and good and a fabulous way to market your products services, I still maintain that there is no better advertising than your own website.Once you do have your own website, you can start treating it as the central location to which all your customers go to. You can then link the website everywhere - from your Facebook page to your Instagram, from your Twitter to your Snapchat. It them becomes THE place that people start going to look for you when Facebook or Instagram is down.Having said all this, there is an even simpler way of making your own website and that is Google! If you have a few images up your sleeves and are confident about what you want to write about to attract customer and clients, then head over to Google’s My Business service. My previous podcast episode is exactly about this and how you can use it to make a placeholder website until your real one is up and running. It is extremely simple to use - I do recommend using a computer, rather than a phone, at least to begin with.Now what does all this have to do with your social media journey? Well, plenty, my friend, plenty! When you create content for social media, which you do, on a regular basis, you are giving it away, for free, literally to another website such as instagram.com and facebook.com. If you used some of that content and created a blog post on your website, and keep adding content to your own website, you will then be using the content that you are creating anyway for your own benefit - twice over. Let me explain. Ultimately, you are listening to this podcast episode because you want to make money, right? More money in the bank, who does not want that? So if you are creating content anyway, why not have it on your own website? So that the next time someone is looking for a product or service similar to yours, YOUR ocntent from YOUR website will be picked up by Google. If your content is shining brightly only on instagram, there is so much on there to distract your viewer! Say you put your heart and soul into making a video about how to make the perfect pasta dish. You know, those beautifully shot 30second videos? Well, as soon as your video is finished, the viewer will scroll away to another video. Now imagine if you had a website with several such videos, the scroller would only go to YOUR next video! So while you should be using social media to promote your business and put those videos on social media, no two ways about it, do consider the merits of owning your own piece of real estate on the internet. It is a game changer.I hope you enjoyed this episode! If you have any questions, I am always available by email or on social media. You can find my contact details on my website, that I made myself, www.yoursocialmediajourney.com. I am now taking bookings for Skype consultation sessions that I tailor make for you and your business. If you are interested, do get in touch. As always, I would love it if left me a five start rating and a good review.

Native Opinion Episode 30 “Decisions Have Consequences” Hello From Dave and Mike Reach our show: hosts@nativeopinion.com Twitter: @nativeopinion Facebook.com/nativeopinion Leave us voice mail via speak pipe app or on our website   NATIVE  NEWS SEGMENTS   ARTICLE 1:  FORMER VICE CHAIR OF TULALIP TRIBES DEBORAH PARKER NAMED TO DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION’S PLATFORM COMMITTEE BY MARK TRAHANT / CURRENTS / 24 MAY 2016 nativenewsonline.net First the news. Then the context. The news is that Deborah Parker has been named to the Democratic National Convention’s Platform Committee. That’s both remarkable and important. She was appointed by Bernie Sanders. As Nicole Willis posted on Facebook: “I am beyond pleased that American Indian and Alaska Native issues are such a high priority for this campaign– so much that one of our platform spots has gone to Deborah Parker!” (Willis is the National Tribal Outreach Director for the Sanders’ campaign.)   Summary: What does this mean for Indian country? Well, it could mean good things for Indian country IF everyone follows through, and people are not paying lip service to win the Native vote. Ms. Parker is respected, knowledgeable and a forward-looking individual when it comes to Native concerns. Here are some of her accomplishments.    Ms. Parker, a former vice chairman of the Tulalip Tribes in Washington, was an early supporter of Sanders. Parker has much to offer any platform committee. First, she understands and can communicate the relationship between tribes and the federal government and what might be possible in terms of improvement. Second, Parker was a critical voice in the enactment of the Violence Against Women Act. She adds expertise and credibility   Article 2:    Tribal leaders call for return of remains, sacred items before auction By Emily Zentner | Cronkite News Tuesday, May 24, 2016  cronkitenews.azpbs.org/   Native Americans protest planned auction in France of sacred objects and human remains By Peggy McGlone May 24 washingtonpost.com   Summary: What are people thinking? Wait! I know! It USED to belong to Indians. They don’t exist any longer. WRONG! We do still exist. It is a common practice for non-Natives to sell articles that used to belong to their ancestors. I am not surprised they have no respect for the ancestors of Natives. Many cultures (European cultures come to mind), have no respect for other cultures, especially Native American culture(s).  As, Mr. Bradley Marshall of the Hoopa Valley Tribal Council states, he called the auction “deplorable” and said “items are living beings that belong to their communities. When we create objects we are in prayer, and a spirit goes into them,” he said. “They are part of our families.”   Title:  State Department report slams Clinton email use By Ryan Browne and Evan Perez, CNN Updated 6:23 PM ET, Wed May 25, 2016 cnn.com   A State Department Inspector General report said former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton failed to follow the rules or inform key department staff regarding her use of a private email server, according to a copy of the report obtained by CNN on Wednesday.   Summary:   Hillary Clinton failed to follow State Department rules involving her email servers. I am not surprised she failed to follow the rules. Positions of power sometimes lead to the assumption of “the rules don’t apply to me.” Clinton has failed to disclose that minor detail about her not following the Department rules. I am not sure she is not the only person to not follow the Department email rules, but she IS the only one running for the office of the President of the United States. I believe that is a detail she should have cleared up before deciding to run for office, again, and a problem that should disqualify her from running.   Title: Hillary Clinton fired for lies, unethical behavior   Dan Calabrese June 13, 2013, at 10:14am westernjournalism.com   Summary:     The article, although a reprint, warrants discussion. Why? Because it helps to substantiate, Clinton’s track record of not telling the truth. Here are a couple of quotes from one of her former supervisors, Jerry Zeifman, a now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, and a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee.    “Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and goes much deeper – than anyone realizes.” Why? “Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”   Title:   Michelle Obama to SFIS grads: ‘Our world needs you’ By Robert Nott The New Mexican 27 May, 2016 Updated 3 hours ago Source:   m.santafenewmexican.com/   Summary:   The First Lady was the keynote speaker at the Santa Fe Indian School in Northern New Mexico. I was able to attend that event, via a live podcast. The First Lady was, as always a down to earth speaker who was able to relate to her audience. Mrs. Obama received a gracious welcome as only Indian country can provide. Her comments were well-received by those who attended the ceremony of the graduating class of 2016. Congratulations to all of the Santa Fe Indian School, graduating class of 2016! To use a phrase the First Lady stated; “Our world needs you.”        

Get ready for your understanding of Genesis 22 to be turned upside down by J. Richard Middleton. While we normally think of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son as proof of his love for God, the exact opposite might be true: Is it possible that a careful reading of Genesis 22 could reveal that God was not pleased with Abraham's silent obedience?That's the theme of Middleton's book Abraham's Silence: The Binding of Isaac, The Suffering of Job, and How to Talk Back to God, which we discuss with him on today's episode.J. Richard Middleton is professor of biblical worldview and exegesis at Northeastern Seminary at Roberts Wesleyan University and author of The Liberating Image and A New Heaven and a New Earth as well as co-author of Truth is Stranger than It Used to Be and The Transforming Vision.Connect with Gravity LeadershipLeave us a message or ask a question about this or any other episode and we'll answer it on a future episode.Join our online community for free to get a curated list of interesting and edifying links each week, plus all kinds of other goodies.Check out the Gravity Commons, a place to connect and learn with others in the Gravity community.Check out Gravity Leadership Academy, our 12-month training intensive for Christian leaders who want to bring lasting transformation to their culture.Are you interested in advertising on the Gravity Leadership Podcast? Contact Gino Curcuruto at gino@gravityleadership.com.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/gravity-leadership-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
