I've been busy working the whole day and really need a peaceful time at home.(Text2)M: You should try this.My aunt made it.W: Mm, delicious. What is it?M: It's called couscous. It's made from wheat. There's some meat on top of it.(Text3)M: I'm cooking beef with potatoes. Do you want some?W: No, thanks. I'm on a diet. I only eat vegetables and fruits.M: OK, there are some grapes in the fridge. Help yourself.W: Thanks.(Text4)M: Lisa, do you think we should get a new sofa?W: Oh, our sofa is a bit old but perfectly usable. Right now, we need a cupboard in the kitchen much more.(Text5)W: Hey, Thomas. How was the movie last night?M: It was OK, not exactly a top quality one but still a welcome surprise. I would give it three stars out of four.(Text6)M: We'd like a table for four, please.W: Have you made a booking?M: No, we haven't.W: I'm afraid there will be about a ten-to-fifteen-minute wait.M: That's OK. Oh, by the way,we'd prefer a table by the window. W: In that case, you will probably have to wait longer.M: It doesn't matter.W: OK, I'll call you when the table is ready. Your name, please?M: It's Montague.M-O-N-T-A-G-U-E. Could we look at the menu while we are waiting?W: Certainly. Here you are.(Text7)W: Good evening. What can I do for you?M: Hi, I'd like to make a reservation.W: All right.

It should reflect the design of the rest of your house. Depending on your budget, you might want to give your front door a fresh coat of paint.M: Mm, I'll consider that.Another thing is I have a big table in my dining room that no one ever sits at.W: Yeah. Some people never use their dining tables. So why hold onto them? Replace the big table with a smaller round table.M: That's a good idea. The whole family will still be able to sit there and it won't feel quite as polished.W: Yes, and all these creative ways can be finished on your own to suit your design style and personal taste.(Text10) Many students ask me about how to understand, and enjoy the experience of concert going. So today, I'd like to take some time to talk about it. First of all, a live concert is totally different from listening to recordings. In a live performance, what is performed, how it sounds and how the artist feels about the performance, these exist for only a very short moment and can never be repeated. As an audience responds to the excitement of such moments, feelings are exchanged between stage and hall. You have many kinds of concerts to choose from by many kinds of performing groups. Concerts by university performing groups are easily accessible, free or at a relatively low price and often of high quality. Announcements of such concerts will be found in the newspaper of our university. Performances outside the university are announced in local newspapers. These concerts tend to be more expensive but discount tickets are often available for students. Though tickets can usually be bought on the day or night of a concert, you have a wide choice if you buy them in advance at the box office or on the Internal. If possible, prepare fora concert by listening to some of the works to be performed and by reading about the musicians.

Trains will be offline across the Auckland rail network from December 27 to January 28. KiwiRail says the closure is needed to allow for urgent repairs and maintenance which is needed for the upcoming City Rail Link, set to open in the second half of 2026. Public Transport Users Association National Coordinator Jon Reeves told Kerre Woodham that shutting down the trains over the summer for maintenance purposes is the classic cliché that's been going on for about 25 years. He says it's become a bit of a joke, and a different way to make these upgrades needs to be found. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

En este inquietante recorrido por algunos de los encuentros más desconcertantes del siglo XX, La vuelta al mundo en 80 enigmas presenta “Robot Cósmico”, un episodio dedicado a una hipótesis tan provocadora como lógica: ¿y si los primeros visitantes extraterrestres que han llegado a la Tierra no fueran seres vivos… sino máquinas? Todo comienza la noche del 9 de enero de 1976, cuando Jean Dolecki, un conductor francés agotado tras una semana de trabajo, presencia la llegada de un enorme objeto brillante que aterriza cerca de su camioneta. De su interior descienden tres figuras metálicas, torpes, de movimientos mecánicos, con extremidades semejantes a varas telescópicas: robots gigantes. Dolecki, paralizado por el miedo, observa cómo aquellas entidades regresan a la esfera y desaparecen a toda velocidad. Aunque su familia duda, un policía local le concede total credibilidad. Este caso da paso a un patrón inquietante: desperfectos eléctricos, emisiones anómalas en televisión, testigos múltiples y encuentros cercanos con criaturas que no parecen orgánicas. Un niño de 10 años afirma haber visto también a un “gigante brillante”. Las interferencias televisivas coinciden con los horarios del avistamiento. Y días atrás, otros habitantes de la región reportaron sucesos similares. El episodio avanza conectando esta idea con otros casos célebres: Minnesota, 1965: James Townsend se enfrenta a un “cohete” luminoso del cual emergen tres pequeños robots cilíndricos caminando sobre patas finas. Tras la retirada del objeto, su coche recupera la electricidad. Argentina, 1963: El camionero Eugenio Douglas es perseguido por un disco volador después de abrir fuego contra sus ocupantes metálicos. Sufre quemaduras inexplicables. Georgia, 1973: La señora Robinson se encuentra con un robot alto y metálico que rodea su coche; el motor queda sometido a un calor tan extremo que casi se derrite. Florida, 1965: Un jubilado, John Reeves, afirma haber visto un robot humanoide equipado con casco, guantes y un dispositivo desconocido que interpretó como un arma. A través de estos relatos, el programa reflexiona sobre una posibilidad fascinante: así como la humanidad envía máquinas —sondas, módulos, robots— a explorar el cosmos, otras civilizaciones podrían haber hecho lo mismo desde hace siglos o milenios. Quizá estas máquinas viajen aún por el espacio con su carga de datos, historias y misiones; quizá algunas hayan alcanzado la Tierra en tiempos remotos, dejando huellas invisibles en nuestra historia. “Robot Cósmico” invita al oyente a replantearse el fenómeno OVNI desde una perspectiva científica y visionaria: ¿Están los verdaderos exploradores del universo hechos de metal y circuitos? ¿Y han estado ya aquí, observándonos desde la distancia… o desde la carretera solitaria de un testigo cualquiera? https://www.edenex.es

Kristen and Kent Cristy didn't plan to take over Reeves Tire in Joplin, MO. But when John Reeves, Kristen's father and founder of the business, faced a health scare in the late '90s, they stepped in together and never looked back.Kent gave up a future in medicine to help his community stay on the road, learning every inch of the business from the ground up. Kristen brought her sharp attention to detail and managed the office, handling payroll, HR, and everything behind the scenes.In 2000, they officially bought the business. Over the next two decades, they opened two more locations, navigated a devastating fire, and kept the Reeves Tire name strong in Joplin, MO.In today's episode, Johnny g talks to Kristen and Kent about growing a business as partners in work and life, why they've focused more on stability than scale, and what it means to preserve a legacy.

This week, we went full Jurassic Park meets TED Talk with Ben Lamm, the mastermind behind Colossal Biosciences. Ben drops some never-before-answered details about the direwolf project (yes, actual direwolves), shares updates on the mammoth and dodo, and shares wild stories from the field — including what it's like meeting John Reeves in the middle of Alaska.We also get into the big stuff: what's the real goal with Colossal, how this could shake up medicine, biodiversity, and what it all means for future generations. Equal parts mind-blowing, funny, and a little existential — just another day on Unscriptify.

In this episode, we discuss the role of Macau, the Portuguese colony in South China, and the experiences of John Reeves, the British Consul stationed there. Despite Portugal's official neutrality, Macau found itself caught in the geopolitical struggles of the Pacific War. With Japanese forces surrounding the colony, John Reeves had the difficult task of representing British interests while navigating an increasingly precarious situation. His work included intelligence gathering, aiding refugees, and balancing diplomacy with survival in an environment where Japan's influence was ever-present. I'm joined by Peter Rose author of 'The Good War of Consul Reeves, which focuses on wartime Macau.   patreon.com/ww2podcast

Macau was supposed to be a sleepy post for John Reeves, the British consul for the Portuguese colony on China's southern coast. He arrived, alone, in June 1941, his wife and daughter left behind in China. Seven months later, Japan had bombed Pearl Harbor, invaded Hong Kong, and made Reeves the last remaining British diplomat for hundreds of miles, responsible for refugees streaming in from China. Peter Rose uses Reeves as a jumping off point for his newest work of historical fiction, The Good War of Consul Reeves (Blacksmith Books, 2024). Using Reeves' own unpublished memoir and research in the national archives, Peter tells a tale of how Reeves—a largely unremarkable man—managed to hold things together in the Portuguese colony until Japan's defeat in 1945. Peter Rose is a graduate of the George Washington University and the Yale Law School. He first practiced law in Washington DC. It was during a posting in Hong Kong with Goldman Sachs as its Asian Head of Public Affairs that he started to visit Macau and became fascinated with the story of this incongruous piece of Portugal on the edge of China.

Seven months later, Japan had bombed Pearl Harbor, invaded Hong Kong, and made Reeves the last remaining British diplomat for hundreds of miles, responsible for refugees streaming in from China. Peter Rose uses Reeves as a jumping off point for his newest work of historical fiction, The Good War of Consul Reeves (Blacksmith Books, 2024). Using Reeves' own unpublished memoir and research in the national archives, Peter tells a tale of how Reeves—a largely unremarkable man—managed to hold things together in the Portuguese colony until Japan's defeat in 1945. Peter Rose is a graduate of the George Washington University and the Yale Law School. He first practiced law in Washington DC. It was during a posting in Hong Kong with Goldman Sachs as its Asian Head of Public Affairs that he started to visit Macau and became fascinated with the story of this incongruous piece of Portugal on the edge of China.

On January 11, 2024, historian John Reeves gave a lecture on the rise of Ulysses S. Grant during an extraordinary decade. Captain Ulysses S. Grant, an obscure army officer who resigned his commission in 1854, rose to become general-in-chief of the United States Army in 1864. What accounts for this astonishing turn-around? Was it destiny? Or was he just an ordinary man, opportunistically benefiting from the turmoil of the Civil War to advance to the highest military rank? Grant's life story is an almost inconceivable tale of redemption within the context of his fraught relationships with his antislavery father and his slaveholding wife. His connection to the institution of slavery, before and during the war, will be reconsidered in this talk. John Reeves has been a teacher, editor, and writer for more than thirty years. The Civil War, in particular, has been his passion since he first read Bruce Catton's The American Heritage Picture History of the Civil War as an elementary school student in the 1960s. He is the author of The Lost Indictment of Robert E. Lee: The Forgotten Case against an American Icon, A Fire in the Wilderness: The First Battle Between Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, and Soldier of Destiny: Slavery, Secession, and the Redemption of Ulysses S. Grant. The content and opinions expressed in these presentations are solely those of the speaker and not necessarily of the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.

To his critics, he was a drunkard and a butcher who failed his way upward in life. To his admirers, he was nothing less than the savior of the nation. Few presidents have had their reputation fluctuate so dramatically as Ulysses S. Grant. In this episode, we interview author John Reeves to find out who the real Ulysses Grant was.

How  did Ulysses S. Grant go from being surrounded by - and benefitting from - slaves to becoming one of the most instrumental American leaders responsible for its downfall? In "Soldier of Destiny," John Reeves shows how Grant's formative years with an anti-slavery father, the challenges of his alcoholism and his experience as a military leader during the Civil War led to his belief that emancipation was the only way to redeem America's founding promise.John Reeves' website can be found at https://john-reeves.com/authorHe is on Twitter at https://twitter.com/reevesjwInformation on "Soldider of Destiny" from Pegasus Books can be found at http://pegasusbooks.com/books/soldier-of-destiny-9781639365272-hardcover#:~:text=Soldier%20of%20Destiny%20tells%20the,father%20and%20his%20slaveholding%20wife.Support our show at https://patreon.com/axelbankhistory**A portion of every contribution is given to a charity for children's literacy** "Axelbank Reports History and Today" can be found on social media at https://twitter.com/axelbankhistory https://instagram.com/axelbankhistoryhttps://facebook.com/axelbankhistory

Happy start of December, weirdos! We're here with our penultimate episode (before a rebranding change in Feb 2024!) and two great stories as we get ready to conclude our year of pulling stories "from the pages" of old and obscure newsletters. First up, Taylor talks about The John Reeves Incident from Florida in 1965 in which an alien-maybe-robot leaves some writing behind and then things get strange. Then Seb discusses a story in which a Tennessee photographer heads to the "great American southwest" and seemingly photographs a caveman where there definitely wasn't one before! And friends, we hope you have a great holiday season, whichever holidays you celebrate, and a fantastic rest of 2023!

On Sundays this summer, we're bringing you some of our favorite episodes from the archives. We'll continue to do new episodes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Happy summer! /// It's July 22nd. This day in 1975, Congress voted to restore citizenship to Robert E. Lee, more than a hundred years after his death. Jody, NIki, and Kellie are joined by author John Reeves to talk about why this vote took place, how it tied into a false theory about a missing citizenship oath, and what the myth of Lee says about how the Confederacy has been restored in the public imagination.

Viasat is a global communications company that believes everyone and everything can be connected. That's why they are building the ultimate communications network, to enable great, global connectivity to be brought to where it's needed and wanted most: to homes all over the world, to faraway communities, to warfighters on the battlefield, and to people in the air or at sea — to name a few. John Reeves, Managing Director of Viasat UK joins me on Tech Talks Daily. John discusses the need for better technology development using third parties within the public sector and connectivity. More specifically, we explore a fresh approach to technology development. With MI6 recently outlining plans to use technology developed by outside companies for the first time, John shares why the Government and bodies such as the MoD need to perform the same cultural shift. John also expands on how and why using commercial technology can, with the right approach and controls in place, offer more opportunities to innovate, adapt and develop the best capabilities against the rise of increasingly advanced and sophisticated adversaries. After all, ultimately it's all about getting tech into the hands of people in the field. John also outlines the importance of a hybrid approach, using a combination of technologies to deliver end users the connectivity and services they need. After all, the person on the ground – whether armed personnel, paramedics, or someone living in a remote village – doesn't care how their service arrives. They just care that it arrives.

“My belief is not what the business is, but in people, that's one thing I've learned throughout my career is teaming up with the right people.” – Henry Russell (USNA ‘03) “I'm a true believer that the strength of your ally determines the strength of your outcome. It's never about me, it's the team that we put together and about the people who are out there helping us achieve the mission. And I'm just one cog in that wheel.”– John Reeves (USNA ‘03) This episode is all about two Academy Grads coming together to build a real estate investment company 18 years after they first met at the Naval Academy. John Reeves (USNA ‘03) has eleven years of real estate experience as a property manager, investor, real estate broker, and licensed contractor and completed multiple combat tours before building his own residential real estate company. Henry Russell (USNA ‘03) has eleven years of experience working in the financial industry and completed multiple combat tours, before he began his career in finance, assisting and managing several private investments in both the public and private sectors. As best friends, Henry Russell (USNA ‘03) was John's pathway to a diploma at the Academy and John Reeves (USNA ‘03) was Henry's pathway to entrepreneurship after the Academy. Together, they built Russell Reeves Capital. In this episode, we discuss: Why John and Henry decided to start a real estate investment company together What Russell Reeves Capital does How John and Henry leverage their skill sets to create financial freedom for others Why partnerships and teamwork are essential to success in life and business John and Henry also share stories from their U.S. Naval Academy days, including how they met and their experiences serving in the military. There are now seven Academy Grads on the Russell Reeves Capital team and John shares why loving, learning, giving and growing have been key to finding fulfillment. We enjoyed hearing how John and Henry's partnership functions and how the company grew from 2 to 16 employees in just two years. They also share some important goals they have for 2022, which include creating affordable housing in California and much more. This episode is not only full of fun and laughter, but also lots of wisdom and encouragement and we hope it inspires you on your entrepreneurial journey to financial freedom.
