Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 27ú lá de mí Dheireadh Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1978 saolaíodh bean ceathrairíní sa tír agus tháinig sé amach go raibh sé rud speisialta mar ag an am níor tharla sé seo an iomarca. Dúirt an bhean bhí an bhreith go breá. I 2006 dhearbhaigh Aer Lingus an oíche roimhe go mbeadh gearradh siar ar bpost chun airgead a shábháil agus gan a bheith I gcomórtas le Ryanair. I 1989 baineadh siar as gach duine a raibh ina chónaí I gCora Finne mar gur tháinig sé amach go bhfuair fear bás ó bhá. Chuaigh Michael Hehir ag iascaireacht nuair a fuair sé bás. I 2006 tháinig sé amach go raibh cuir siar ar an soláthar d'uisce ól d'Inis agus lochtaigh fear a bhí ailse aige agus dúirt sé bhí sé míchaoithiúlacht mhór. Dúirt sé nach raibh taithí aige mar seo I 27 bliain ina raibh sé ina chónaí san Afraic Theas. Sin My Chemical Romance le Welcome To The Black Parade – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2006. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2006 tháinig Amy Winehouse amach lena dara halbam Back To Black agus bhí sé seo a albam deireanach. I 2007 mháirseáil Keith Richards leis an lucht agóide a raibh ag agóid I gcoinne gearradh siar san ospidéal I Sussex. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Kelly Osbourne sa Bhreatain I 1984 agus rugadh aisteoir John Cleese sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1939 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 27th of October, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1978: Ireland's one in a million mother rested contentedly and said the birth of her quads was no different to normal birth. 2006: Aer Lingus confirmed last night it had warned union representatives that job cuts would be necessary to see off the competitive threat posed by Ryanair. 1989: The community in corofin was stunned with the news of the tragic drowning of local man Mr. Michael Hehir following an accident while fishing near Fanore in North Clare. 2006: The delay in providing an adequate drinking water supply for Ennis and its environs has been criticized by a cancer survivor who never experienced the inconvenience of a boil notice during his 27 years living in South Africa. That was My Chemical Romance with Welcome To The Black Parade – the biggest song on this day in 2006 Onto music news on this day In 2006 Amy Winehouse released her second and final studio album Back to Black. 2007 Keith Richards marched with campaigners protesting against possible Sussex hospital cuts. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – Kelly Osbourne was born in the UK in 1984 and actor John Cleese was born in the UK on this day in 1939 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

Hat Digichris seine Liebe für Würgeschlangen entdeckt? Nein, als er neulich fand, wir müssten dringend über Python sprechen, meinte er nicht das Tier, sondern die Programmiersprache – deren Name übrigens nicht direkt aufs Reptil, sondern auf die Komikertruppe um John Cleese, Terry Gilliam und Eric Idle zurückgeht. Also sprechen wir über Python: Das ist jene Programmiersprache, die sich besonders für Einsteigerinnen und Einsteiger eignet. Sie ist leicht lesbar, pflegeleicht, vielseitig und kommt heute oft zum Zug – ganz anders die Sprachen Basic und Pascal, die Matthias damals lernte. Wir werfen auch einen Seitenblick auf die anderen heute angesagten Sprachen wie Javascript und C#, schnöden ein bisschen über PHP und fragen uns, was es wohl mit «Brainfuck» auf sich hat. Nebst den Sprachen selbst kommen wir um einen bemerkenswerten Aspekt nicht herum: Vor zehn Jahren unternahmen die Tech-Konzerne eine Bildungsinitiative. Mit Plattformen wie «The Hour of Code» wollten sie das Programmieren auf breiter Basis fördern und in den Lehrplänen verankern. Nicht nur Bill Gates und Mark Zuckerberg setzten sich für dieses Ziel ein, sondern auch der damalige US-Präsident Barack Obama. Heute mehren sich die Anzeichen, dass dieses Unterfangen damals nicht so uneigennützig war, wie es den Anschein hatte: Die Konzerne wollten sicherstellen, dass ihnen genügend qualifiziertes Personal zur Verfügung steht. Doch die Jobs, die damals versprochen wurden, blieben sie zu einem beträchtlichen Teil schuldig. Heute bekommen in den USA oft nur Absolventen von Top-Unis eine Stelle als Softwareentwickler – oder günstigere Einwanderer. Das Problem verschärft sich obendrein, weil die KI Programmcode günstiger und schneller schreibt als Menschen. Das Stichwort dazu ist Vibe Coding: Code, der zum grossen Teil von ChatGPT und Konsorten stammt. Er gibt einen riesigen Rationalisierungsanreiz – und eröffnet gleichzeitig riesige Sicherheitsprobleme. Steuern wir auf ein Schlamassel zu? Erste Anzeichen dafür gibt es.

"Más Allá Del Jardín" (o "Over the garden wall", como la conocieron en los países angloparlantes) es una serie de animación del 2014 de 10 capítulos, que duran apenas entre 10 y 12 minutos cada uno. Una serie que, además, tiene un cast de voces lleno de talentos como Elijah Wood o John Cleese. Y que, además, ha logrado un seguimiento de culto que continúa hasta nuestros días.

Lindsay Lohan & Jamie Lee Curtis month continues as we take a look at two big hits from the primes of their respective careers: Herbie: Fully Loaded and A Fish Called Wanda! For Herbie, Disney relied on Lindsay to revive a dormant franchise, teaming her up with Michael Keaton, Justin Long, and Matt Dillon. Although it received mixed reviews, the film was a box office success and one of the final hits of Lohan's career. Our hosts break down whether it's deserving of Millennial classic status, or if it should be left behind. For Wanda, Curtis parlayed her BAFTA-winning breakout in Trading Places to a role in the John Cleese-penned crime comedy. The film wasn't only a smash hit, becoming the 7th highest grossing film of 1988, but received 3 Oscar nominations, with Kevin Kline winning for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. We discuss our favorite scenes and performances of one of the funniest movies we've ever covered on the show. What's your favorite Jamie Lee Curtis movie? Let us know at cinemaontappodcast@gmail.com

Running is a thread that weaves through many aspects of Grace Tame's life.  In this special two-part episode of Run With It, host Elise Beacom connects the dots with Grace, who's an advocate, public speaker, writer, artist, runner, and the 2021 Australian of the Year (TW: child sexual abuse, mental health and sexual assault). Part one traces Grace's sandy footsteps from the Australian Outback Marathon to the political and emotional terrain of survivor advocacy. Grace shares what it took to set a course record in brutal conditions at her recent marathon near Uluru, and how running has become a metaphor and outlet for life's bigger battles. We hear about her role at the Grace Tame Foundation, an organisation championing education, legal reform, and accessible support for survivors of child sexual abuse. Grace also reflects on the complexities of receiving the Australian of the Year award, offering a sharp, honest take on media scrutiny, public expectation and the weight of visibility. From the connections running creates to our environment and the people around us, to bonds expressed through oil paint with a toothbrush, Grace is full of stories brimming with strength, shared experience and a good whack of humour. -- This episode includes discussions about child sexual abuse, mental health and sexual assault.

Latest up from Spoken Label (Author / Artist Podcast) features making his debut, Richard Sparks (and yes, that is Jack Black in the picture who is talked about in the Podcast).Richard's bio advises "One morning in 1979 I got a call from an understandably excited Rowan Atkinson.“John Cleese just called. He's asked me to be in his new charity show – and can I do The Schoolmaster?”Er, yes.I'd written The Schoolmaster for Rowan the previous year, for a revue at the Hampstead Theatre (Rowan with Elspeth Walker and Peter Wilson). John and his co-producer, Martin Lewis, had seen it; and a year later, Rowan and I were backstage at Her Majesty's Theatre, meeting John and other members of the cast of The Secret Policeman's Ball.Rowan went on stage an unknown, with his gown and clipboard and pen, and came off a star. The Schoolmaster became his signature piece, the encore of his live shows. Eventually, he got tired of doing the same old routine and wrote another (ruder) version, generously giving me half the royalties.By that time, I'd cut my teeth on various TV shows, from HTV (Wales) to ITV (Southern and Central) to the BBC. I'd also written some stage shows (reviews, original plays, and adaptations of Goldoni comedies), and done a lot of freelance script editing. In 1992, I was hired by Columbia Picture Television to work with Blake Hunter and Marty Cohan, the creators of Who's the Boss?. My wife and I moved with our young daughter to her parents (converted) garage and we've lived in Los Angeles since.I've written a number of libretti for operas, almost all for the LA Opera – some original pieces, some translations from German or Italian. My writing partner, the composer, Lee Holdridge, was – in a way – once G.R.R. Martin's ‘writing partner' in that he composed the scores for the TV series Beauty and the Beast, for which Martin was a script writer.I'd been a hard-core RPG gamer for years when the idea for these books just fell out of the sky one morning, and I started writing. I have hardly had a moment to log on to any game — I'm too busy exploring the New Rock stories as they unfold.My publisher, Caezik SF & Fantasy, is a company of enthusiasts who love these genres. I am delighted to join their family of authors, and to be working with their executive editor, Lezli, Robyn.Three sequels – New Rock New Realm, New Rock New Rules, and New Rock New Roads, have been completed and will be published in due course. I'm currently working on the fifth book."More details including where to buy Richard's books can be found at: https://richardsparks.com/

This week on The Video Store Podcast, I'm recommending four films that are all about films and filmmaking in one way or another. Some are about the industry. Some about obsession with its product. All are worth watching.The Stunt Man (1980) – Directed by Richard Rush. This film took nearly a decade to get made. It's about a fugitive who ends up working as a stuntman on a chaotic film set. Peter O'Toole plays the eccentric director. The film is known for how it blurs the line between what's real and what's staged, both for the characters and the viewer. Rush was nominated for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. Steve Railsback, who plays the lead, had previously portrayed Charles Manson in Helter Skelter, and that performance had followed him around.Fade to Black (1980) – A psychological thriller directed by Vernon Zimmerman. Not so much about the industry behind-the scenes, but instead about its effect on the other side of the camera. Dennis Christopher plays a movie-obsessed loner who starts acting out scenes from classic films in real life. A lot of people missed this when it came out, but it has a cult following now. It's set in Los Angeles and uses that setting in a way that feels grimy and off. Mickey Rourke appears in a small early role. Quentin Tarantino has mentioned this film as an influence.The Big Picture (1989) – A comedy directed by Christopher Guest. Kevin Bacon plays a young filmmaker who finds early success, then quickly loses control of his career. Martin Short plays his agent in a way that's deliberately over-the-top. The script was co-written by Michael McKean and also includes appearances by John Cleese and Teri Hatcher. It's one of those movies that shows how studio notes and industry pressure can take a decent idea and ruin it.Living in Oblivion (1995) – Directed by Tom DiCillo whose name I butcher, my apologies. This one's about a small indie film production falling apart. Steve Buscemi plays the director. It's shot in black and white and color, dividing dream sequences from the rest. Catherine Keener and Dermot Mulroney are also in it. DiCillo based a lot of the script on his own frustrations making his first feature. James Le Gros plays a difficult actor who many assumed was based on Brad Pitt, who had worked with DiCillo before. DiCillo has denied it, but the rumor stuck. Also a great role from a future Game of Thrones star.Each of these films looks at films and filmmaking from a different angle. They're also all lesser-known films, some not widely seen, but worth your time.Thanks for reading Video Store Podcast! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Andrew Winkler explores the psychology behind decision-making and how personality type influences whether we act quickly or hesitate. Drawing from John Cleese's idea of the “last responsible moment,” Dr. Andy explains how people fall into two camps: those who feel pressure to decide quickly, and those who grow anxious if forced to decide too soon.By breaking down cognitive functions—like thinking, feeling, sensing, and intuition—Dr. Andy shows how each of us has unique strengths we either turn outward or inward. These preferences not only impact how we process decisions but also how we interact with the world. This episode brings clarity to the mechanics behind Myers-Briggs types and what it means to be a "judger" or a "perceiver" at your core.In this episode, you will learn:(00:30) – Why John Cleese's “last responsible moment” is a powerful lens for understanding decision-making(01:10) – How personality types influence whether you feel rushed or delayed when making decisions(02:00) – The four core cognitive functions and how they shape how we gather and evaluate information(03:10) – What it means to turn your strongest mental functions inward or outward—and how it affects your interactions(04:30) – Why your dominant extroverted function determines your decision-making comfort zone(05:40) – How all of this connects to the Myers-Briggs personality model—and what it means for real-life choicesLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandy Hosted on Acast.

He expresses deep concern about the potential privacy implications and the gradual erosion of personal freedoms, arguing that such technologies represent a dangerous step towards a surveillance state reminiscent of social credit systems.The episode also covers various topics including health advice about vitamin D and exercise, an Arizona law requiring human review of insurance claims, and commentary on global political and technological trends. Neoborn Caveman maintains his characteristic comedic and satirical style while discussing serious issues, interspersing his commentary with music breaks and personal reflections on societal changes.Throughout the episode, NC repeatedly emphasizes themes of human autonomy, personal choice, and resistance to technological systems that seek to categorize and control individuals. He challenges listeners to remain critical of emerging technologies, government policies, and corporate initiatives that promise convenience but potentially compromise individual privacy and freedom.Music guests: Inoxidables, Sami Chohfi, JafariEK, Big Bus DreamKEY QUOTES:• "The real question is not whether we have life after death, is whether we have life before death." - Neoborn Caveman• "Everything is in agony.
