Podcast appearances and mentions of James Allison

Mark Pratt-Russum shares a message about temple obsession and read a passage from a book by James Allison. Do you carry a hope for a more just, liberated, and joyful future that is sustained beyond the soul-sucking influence of institutions of power? How do you do this? How can communities become places of mutual inspiration, rest and joy in the face of political/cultural/social realties that make us uninspired, bred, and hopeless?

"The Garden of Fear" by Robert E. Howard is a riveting adventure that features his character James Allison, who recalls his past life as a warrior named Hunwulf. The story is part of the collection "The Valley of the Worm" and is set in a prehistoric era filled with danger and mystery. James Allison, living in modern times but plagued by vivid memories of his previous incarnations, recounts one such memory of being Hunwulf, a courageous and skilled warrior. Hunwulf's journey leads him to a vast and eerie valley, which is shrouded in an atmosphere of dread and foreboding. The valley, known to locals as a place of great peril, is home to bizarre and deadly creatures that test Hunwulf's strength and resolve. As Hunwulf ventures deeper into the valley, he discovers an ancient and overgrown garden, which is unlike any place he has ever seen. The garden is ruled by a monstrous, winged creature that combines elements of human and beast. This terrifying entity has enslaved a beautiful woman named Gudrun, who is trapped within the garden's confines. Determined to free Gudrun and end the reign of the monstrous ruler, Hunwulf faces numerous challenges. The garden itself is filled with deadly plants and creatures that pose constant threats. Hunwulf's battle with the winged beast is intense and brutal, highlighting his bravery and warrior spirit. "The Garden of Fear" is rich with Howard's signature style, combining vivid descriptions, relentless action, and a sense of ancient myth and legend. The story delves into themes of heroism, the struggle against evil, and the power of memory and reincarnation. It explores the idea that the past lives of individuals shape their present, imbuing them with the strength and knowledge to face their current challenges. Howard's portrayal of the prehistoric setting and the fantastical elements within it creates a captivating and immersive experience. "The Garden of Fear" stands as a testament to Howard's ability to blend fantasy, horror, and adventure into a compelling narrative that continues to resonate with readers. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/audiblyaudiobooks/support

From 2014 to 2021, Mercedes dominated Formula 1 with a record eight Constructor World Championships in a row. Since 2022 though, they have struggled to fully grasp the current ground effect cars and, as a result, have dramatically fallen down the pecking order, behind their rivals Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari. Merc's struggles continued at the start of 2024, but they have made progress in the last few races. George Russell's P3 and Lewis Hamilton's P4 in Canada secured the team's best result of the season thus far. So, where were they going wrong? What have they changed on the car? And are they going to be competitive for the rest of the year? Speaking to Tom Clarkson in Montreal, Mercedes Technical Director James Allison answers all those questions. He also talks about the personal impact of the team's struggles, why he thinks Hamilton has been outqualified by Russell so far this season, what he'll miss about Lewis, whether he thinks 17-year-old Kimi Antonelli is ready for F1, and much more.

Mercedes sê daar is geen groot kommer oor die span se motor se betroubaarheid vorentoe nie. Lewis Hamilton en George Russell se onvermoë om in Australië klaar te maak, het die Formule Een-span vierde gelaat op die vervaardigerspunteleer en 72 punte agter Red Bull, met Ferrari slegs vier punte agter die voorlopers. Mercedes se tegniese direkteur, James Allison, sê ál die fokus is daarop om meer werkverrigting uit die motor te kry:

Mercedes Technical Director, James Allison, is Tom Clarkson's pick for the penultimate day of our countdown to the new series of F1 Beyond The Grid.

For James' full conversation with Tom from 2019, listen here.

Inside their high-tech Formula 1 factories, Mercedes and Williams are in a constant cycle of pushing the boundaries in the car build. And the clock is ticking. With just a few weeks to go until the start of the 2024 season, Williams are working overtime as the final components of the car go into manufacture. Team principal James Vowles says these crucial weeks towards the end of January are the busiest time for the workforce at his Oxfordshire facility, bar none. But what will be the very last piece of the car to be made? Sarah Holt and Holly Samos are going inside the factories to find out. At the Mercedes factory in Brackley, COO Rob Thomas is aware time is now at a premium. The wind tunnel is still hard at work trialling aerodynamic upgrades that hold the promise of more performance on track. They then need to be put into production - but can the factory afford to leave it as late as possible to give the wind tunnel team more time? There are still some important milestones to go in the car build and for Mercedes' technical director James Allison, that's a cause for sleepless nights. Both factories are working as one to deliver the 2024 race cars for their star drivers in time to go racing at the opening Bahrain Grand Prix on 2nd March. The race team, who travel to the races around the world, are also honing in on their preparations. For the pit crews at Williams and Mercedes, it's time to rehearse the quicksilver pit-stops that can make - or break - a race weekend.F1:Back at Base was created and produced by Holly Samos and Sarah Holt and is an IMG Production for the BBC.

En este segundo programa de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1, donde se cuenta de nuevo con Raymond Blancafort, Abel Caro, Iván Fernández e Ignacio Psijas, toda centrarse en la actualidad tanto de la Fórmula 1 como de los rallies. Aunque la noticia de la semana, el despido de Guenther Steiner, no se trata, por ser posterior a la grabación, el repaso a ambas categorías es completo y exhaustivo. Cambios en el reglamento de F1 para 2024. Uno de los cambios más significativos y polémicos es la reducción de media hora de tests en pretemporada todos los días. También se hablará de los componentes de motor disponibles para cambios en cada equipo, pues hay modificaciones: se reducen con respecto a 2023, algo que aumenta la importancia de la fiabilidad de los coches porque, en caso de que haya un cambio más del debido, habrá sanción para el piloto. Según el artículo 28.2, un piloto sólo podrá utilizar tres en lugar de cuatro motores de combustión, así como tres en lugar de cuatro MGUH, MGU-K y turbocompresores. El resto, eso sí, no cambia si se compara con el año pasado. Los motores de 2026. Las futuras unidades de potencia de un F1 serán híbridas como hasta ahora. Pero con un motor térmico 1.6 V6 más sencillo turboalimentado, pero de menor potencia: se perderá la ‘precámara de combustión, con una MGU-K, pero se prescinde de la MGU-H, es decir el motor generador asociado al turbocompresor. La variación sustancial es que el motor térmico ofrecerá sólo el 50% de la potencia, mientras que el resto lo suministrará la MGU-K. El que hace unos años llamábamos KERS, triplicará su aportación, de 120 a 360 kilovatios (unos 475 caballos), mientras que el térmico debería rondar sobre los 480-500 CV, en el mejor de los casos sobre 550 CV usando combustible totalmente sostenible y un consumo netamente inferior al actual. Otras noticias de la actualidad de la F1. También se tratarán otras noticias que han saltado a la palestra, como el hecho de que, al parecer, para Audi Bottas sería peor opción que Ocon. O las declaraciones de Hamilton sobre James Allison: “Tiene cualidades que nunca antes había visto en otro ingeniero”. También se tratará el tema de la renovación de Williams con Mercedes de cara a la nueva era de motores de la F1, a partir de 2026. Y el hecho de que FIA tiene intención de que la F1 del futuro "siga siendo relevante para los coches de calle” Además, polémicas declaraciones de Ben Sulayem:"¿Creen que las marcas invertirían en F1 si no existiese un ente regulador?”. ¿Qué opinarán los comentaristas sobre este tema? Para concluir, hablando del WRC, que se acerca peligrosamente, se comentará la lista de inscritos del Montecarlo.

“[N]ow we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit that is from God” (2 Cor. 2:1). Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, CA 2D9  5 Epiphany (Year A) 11:00 a.m.  Sunday 5 February 2023                                       Isaiah 58:1-9a Psalm 112:1-9 2 Corinthians 2:1-12 Matthew 5:13-20    You are the salt of the earth. At 6:00 p.m., at the height of the century's worst winter storm, I put on waterproof biking pants and a jacket to go walking in the darkness. Rain poured down in sheets. In the Presidio forest, along the ridge, 60 knot gusts of wind tore through the Monterey Cypress and Eucalyptus trees. It sounded like a deafening freight train. As debris landed all around I felt nagging fear but also awe in the face of such power and beauty, in the presence of God. I could see no sign of another living soul except for a single light far offshore in thirty foot swells outside the Golden Gate. This week I gradually began to understand the news. Our seminary, the Church Divinity School of the Pacific will be closing its classrooms for in person learning and most likely selling their property (which lies across the street from the University of California, Berkeley).[i] The university motto Fiat Lux, means “let there be light.” And today I want to begin by expressing what a great light our seminary has been for me during my whole adult life. I remember going to Thursday evening community eucharists there during the ferocious El Nino storms of my first year in college. As an eighteen year old I loved the Episcopal Church. Berkeley with its four Episcopal churches, two break-away churches, a university chaplaincy, a kind of Anglican newspaper (called the New Oxford Review) and seminary seemed like heaven to me. I have fond memories of studying in the Graduate Theological Library from the time it first opened. My college chaplain Peter Haynes had us meet in the seminary parking lot to drive together for my first retreat at the Bishop's Ranch. The people in this setting profoundly shaped my faith as a guide to a compassionate, generous, beautiful, uniting, and thoughtful way of being. This faith opened me to the experiences of people of different backgrounds, even of different religions and of no religion. This faith also grounded me in traditions that connect us to our deepest humanity. Before long I was kneeling on the warm red carpet at St. Clement's Church in Berkeley and getting ordained as a priest. Soon after that I began participating in monthly Faculty Clergy lunches. John Kater first introduced the idea of online learning to us a year after the invention of the world wide web. For twenty years I participated in Pacific Coast Theological Society meetings at the seminary with Owen Thomas, Patricia Codron, Huston Smith, Herman Waetjen.[ii] I cherish my clergy colleagues who were educated there and their teachers. I can see in my mind's eye the busy brick refectory at lunchtime with students and teachers from across the country engaged in friendly talk on a fall day as the liquid amber tree leaves outside the windows burst into an impossibly beautiful redness. You may be getting a sense for the heartbreak I feel about our seminary, that with others I am mourning its loss. This brings us to one of Jesus' most important lessons about how to live, known in the Gospel of Matthew as the Sermon on the Mount. Let me briefly talk about the central elements of Jesus' teaching and then introduce a psychologist and two theologians who give us further insights into its meaning. Today we hear the second part of the Sermon on the Mount. It begins with Jesus saying “blessed are the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, those who hunger for righteousness, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers” (Mt. 5). Jesus does not say that one thing leads to the other as if we should somehow try to be poor in spirit in order that we might be blessed. No, Jesus speaks to US. We are the people who mourn, the humble ones frustrated by injustice, longing for goodness and mercy. Indeed Jesus says to us this morning, “YOU are the salt of the earth… YOU are the light of the world.” The Greek word “you” is plural. It involves all of us. It is imperative to notice that Jesus is not asking us to change who we are. We are already what we need to be. We do not have to become something entirely new. We just need to learn how to magnify the goodness we already possess. For this metaphor Jesus chooses things that in small quantities have a massive effect. A tiny bit of salt brings out the flavor of a large meal. You are that salt, enriching the banquet for everyone. A single candle flame can be seen from 1.6 miles away. It takes half an hour to walk the distance to that tiny light that might guide someone home. So again Jesus is not saying that this is a cause and effect relationship, that by doing something good you become blessed. This is not a matter of punishment or reward. You already are blessed, so make the most of it! In an often cited passage Marianne Williamson writes, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?” “You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”[iii] In 2009 I attended a training in Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communications. It changed my life.[iv] Rosenberg asserts that we all have a kind of light or energy or life that animates us. We have needs that we often do not understand for food, safety and love. Instead of trying to compel others, to force them to do we want, we should instead learn to state our need and then ask them for help. We do this knowing that all human beings have a deep longing to be of service to others. This all begins with seeing that light in other people. And this requires that we learn to quiet the critical voice that judges others and ourselves (Rosenberg calls the jackal). He recommends that instead of using judgment words (like “you are always late”) or presuming that we know what another person is thinking, we should learn the gift of the question. We need to learn how to simply ask what another person needs. Instead of an inner life in which we criticize ourselves we need to ask ourselves what we need. Today at the Forum I talked with my favorite teacher Margaret Miles about her newest book on how the third century theologian St. Augustine of Hippo (345-430 CE) changed in his old age. Quite often we quote his words when we invite everyone to the communion table saying, “Be what you see. Receive what you are.”[v] This is almost a riddle with the answer – the body of Christ. It reminds us that we are God's children. We are salt and light, even when we may not feel very close to God. Augustine talks about the difficulty of believing in miracles and what our bodies will be like in the resurrection. He says that these ideas matter only as much as they influence how we live now. In his prayer addressed to God he says that we are not only, “instructed so as to see you… but also so as to grow strong enough to hold you, and the one who cannot see you for the distance, may yet walk along the road by which he will arrive and see you and hold you…” To us he says, ”Walk without fear, run, but stay on the road… do not stand still, do not turn back, do not get sidetracked… Any who find that they may have gone astray must return to the road and walk on it, and any who find they are on the road must go on walking until they arrive.”[vi] One of my favorite writers of our generation is the gay English Roman Catholic theologian James Allison. The Stanford University professor René Girard (1923-2015) deeply influenced him. Girard taught that all human societies have what he calls the scapegoat mechanism. We covet, that is we want what other people have, this leads to instabilities and social tensions. These in turn are resolved by punishing or banishing an individual or group. We fix our social problems by blaming others. According to Allison and Girard, Jesus overturns the scapegoat mechanism and makes possible the realm of God in which all people are loved. In my clergy group I heard the following story about James Alison. For many years he lived in Brazil. But not long after moving to Spain, a Brazilian bishop began a long and ultimately successful process of removing Alison from the priesthood. This was heartbreaking new for Alison. Then one day he received a phone call. The voice on the other end of the line told him that it was Francis, Pope Francis. Alison felt sure that it had to be a friend playing a trick on him until a number of questions fully established that this was the actual pope and that he was giving him the “power of the keys” and effectively reinstating him as a priest.[vii] As a gay man Alison was himself scapegoated but his light shines too brightly to be diminished. He does not hide. I give thanks for Augustine's reminder to stay on the road to God even when our father seems so far off. I give thanks for Marshall Rosenberg's reminder that our critical inner voice makes it hard to see the light in others. Above all, I am so grateful for the compassionate, generous and thoughtful light of the people associated with our seminary. They contributed to the faith that has guided me to this day. That night a few weeks ago out in the storm. I encountered God. Looking at that lonely light on the ocean reminded me of one of the kids named William Hoyt who came to my ordination at St. Clement's Church in Berkeley. His dad was a nuclear physicist and his mom a partner in a prestigious law firm. William grew up to be the captain of a tugboat. I wondered if he was out there in the storm, if it was his light that was going to guide someone home that night. In the deafening freight train storm that surrounds us your light shines in this way also. Give the gift of the question. Do not turn back. Be what you see, receive who you are. You are the salt of the earth.
