Shepherdess Brittany Cole Bush talks to Farmers Guardian US Correspondent John Wilkes. California is experiencing some of the worst ever wildfires. By August 16, a total of 5,210 wildfires burned 332,606 ha (821,887 acres).  The Park Fire is the fourth largest in Californian history – approximately 14 times the size of San Francisco. Since late July it has destroyed 173,000 ha in Northern California. This podcast was recorded August 4. On the podcast this week John is joined by the entrepreneurial sheep and goat grazer Brittany Cole Bush from the Ojai Valley, Ventura County in Southern California. Cole's personal journey to set up her company called “Shepherdess Livestock and Land” draws global media coverage from The Guardian, French Elle and others. Her “flerd” of sheep and goats is in demand to remove dense highly flammable vegetation for an array of governmental agencies and other property owner clients. Cole also established “The Grazing School of the West” where she operates bootcamps.  The school's goal is to encourage a new generation into this burgeoning sector within the American sheep industry. Like Cole, the majority of applicants are from non-agricultural backgrounds. In the context of the American sheep industry Cole sees herself,  “As a black sheep. A black Navajo-Churro sheep, a Heritage breed that has to be wily, very resilient, small framed and wooly. I represent a very unique population; a single woman owned sheep business from Southern California. The first in my family to do something like this.” Message us

The first UK sheep embryos have been imported to the United States. This is the first of what is hoped to be a regular trade in ovine genetics. Our reporter John Wilkes based in Washington gives his analysis on what this means for the global sheep market 

The most famous phrase in American history once looked quite different. "The preservation of life, & liberty, & the pursuit of happiness" was how Thomas Jefferson put it in the first draft of the Declaration, before the first ampersand was scratched out, along with "the preservation of." In a statement as pithy--and contested--as this, a small deletion matters. And indeed, that final, iconizing revision was the last in a long chain of revisions stretching across the Atlantic and back. The precise contours of these three rights have never been pinned down--and yet in making these words into rights, Jefferson reified the hopes (and debates) not only of a group of rebel-statesmen but also of an earlier generation of British thinkers who could barely imagine a country like the United States of America. Peter Moore's Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness: Britain and the American Dream (1740–1776) (FSG, 2023) tells the true story of what may be the most successful import in US history: the "American dream." Centered on the friendship between Benjamin Franklin and the British publisher William Strahan, and featuring figures including the cultural giant Samuel Johnson, the ground-breaking historian Catharine Macaulay, the firebrand politician John Wilkes, and revolutionary activist Thomas Paine, this book looks at the generation that preceded the Declaration in 1776. Everyone, it seemed, had "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" on their minds; Moore shows why, and reveals how these still-nascent ideals made their way across an ocean and started a revolution. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose doctoral work focused on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

A 4th of July London fix

It's been a while since we looked at A MAN on the podcast, so let's take a look at the ugliest man in England, member of one of the (supposedly) raunchiest clubs, and revolutionary reformer. John Wilkes was both a champion of liberty and a much hated politician - usually from within his own government! But what brought him there, and what was this mysterious Hellfire club that he belonged to? Hold on to your hats, we're getting down and dirty with John Wilkes! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Hellfire Club. Since the arrival of Hawkin's finest dungeon master, Eddie, to the world of Stranger Things the 'Hellfire Club' has been a pop culture hot topic. But what is - or rather, was - the Hellfire Club? Lauren takes us back once again to Britain's murky past to uncover the true history of the real Hellfire Clubs, what they stood for, and how they've seeped into our cultural consciousness. More on John Wilkes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wilkes 'Rakes, Highwaymen, and Pirates: The Making of the Modern Gentleman in the Eighteenth Century' by Erin Mackie: https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/9697/rakes-highwaymen-and-pirates Find us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/TheGhoulGuides Support us on Kofi: https://ko-fi.com/theghoulguides

This continues the British centric focus on the approach to the American Revolution.  We cover the many distractions of the British government and get into some of the many ways government policy and grip on reality was just lacking in so many ways.John Wilkes and his saga is a major distraction and a fascinating story.  But there is also Junius, the East India Company, The Present Discontents, Fox bathing in cream and foreign policy oriented towards Europe.  We cover how the Townsend Acts, the Intolerable Acts and the Mansfield decision abolishing slavery complete the revolutionary coalition in America.  

Join historian Terry Alford for a fascinating lecture about his newest book, In the Houses of Their Dead: The Lincolns, the Booths, and the Spirits. Two families, one at the nation's political summit and one at its theatrical, were bound together in the Civil War period by their fascination with spiritualism. Abraham and Mary Lincoln turned to the seance table when their son Willie Lincoln died in 1862. Edwin Booth and his brother John Wilkes were similarly attracted to the otherworld by the death of Edwin's wife Mary Devlin in 1863. Although there were many mediums in the country, the number of distinguished intermediaries to the other side was limited, and the two families shared several of the most gifted ones. No medium was more controversial than Charles J. Colchester, who astounded the Lincolns with his powers while being an intimate friend of John Wilkes Booth at the same time. Colchester repeatedly warned Lincoln to be careful. Would the president, who received many such warnings over the years, finally listen to the one that mattered? Terry L. Alford is Professor of History Emeritus at Northern Virginia Community College. He is the author of several books, including Prince among Slaves: The True Story of an African Prince Sold into Slavery in the American South, which was made into a PBS documentary in 2007; Fortune's Fool: The Life of John Wilkes Booth, a National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist; and In the Houses of Their Dead: The Lincolns, the Booths, and the Spirits. The content and opinions expressed in these presentations are solely those of the speaker and not necessarily of the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.

John Wilkes was a radical politician and newspaper editor. He used poetry and Magna Carta to mobilise public opinion, which helped him fight for many causes in his lifetime. Join Hazel Baker as she talks with City of London tour guide Ian McDiarmid to discuss MP John Wilkes and his life in London.

Bonus Ep!! We could not be more excited if we tried. On this bonus episode we talk with one of our very favorite people, Actor, Adam Chanler-Berat. Along with being one of our best friends, Adam has also just finished a sold out run of the musical Assassins. This ties him loosely to knowing about presidents and First Ladies and so duh we had to have him on. We talk about the ghosts in his theater, the motivations behind what makes a person want to boldly kill a president, and Scientology. Adam also blows our mind by telling us the most wild story of Edwin Booth, brother of John Wilkes. You really can't miss this. I mean seriously. Enjoy!! 

In 1760s London, John Wilkes was a champion of liberty and an advocate for free speech and freedom of the press. He was an outspoken member of Parliament and in 1764 the House of Commons expelled him, but he was reelected. The Founding Fathers of the United States were deeply shaped by Great Britain's Parliamentary oppression of Wilkes. Part of the Immortals leadership series.

John played football and Preston ran cross country so you can see that they didn't hang out in the same spaces. John has had a life of privilege and is suitably appreciative of the opportunities that he has faced. Now at 77 he doesn't look his age. However, he is facing medical issues and is still working to keep fit and active. He just got back home to New Jersey after a two week cruise with his wife.--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/appSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=58401706&fan_landing=true)

And yes, we can put sex and drugs and Jesus all in the same bed and still be all right. At the end of the day, my name is Davanon and I'll be interviewing guests from every corner of this world. As we dig into topics that are too risky for the morning show, as we strive to help you understand what's really going on in your.[00:00:24] There was nothing on the table and we've got a lot to talk about. So let's dive right into this episode.[00:00:34] [00:00:34] De'Vannon: All right, Jay, thank you so much for coming on this X drags and Jesus' podcast today, we show sexy chocolate. So it's so much fun. Is he another, um, ball black man, or they, um, say it in one of my favorite movies? White chicks.[00:00:56] J. Maceo: Well, it's funny you say that because what I was thinking of, I was [00:01:00] looking at everything you're younger than me. You're like a prettier version than me. What if they were ever to play a Hollywood story? You'd be the younger version of me. [00:01:12] De'Vannon: I, you know, I'll do it too. I mean, I'm 38, about to be 39. So 43. I, um, am all about that life, honey, you know, black don't crack.[00:01:24] Are you going to be looking fabulous, but as, [00:01:26] J. Maceo: uh, I hope so. [00:01:29] De'Vannon: And so. Yeah, this is Jay Macio. He co-hosts the cosmic journey podcast with, um, Dimmi who was on my show before. So this is basically like a tag team. Jimmy had his way with me and now Jay, to get, to get the sloppy seconds. And I couldn't be more thrilled to, uh, be a part of that.[00:01:52] Oreo. I love it. Yeah. Okay. So Jay, tell us, um, some of [00:02:00] your inspiration, your, your history and your background and some of your struggles. [00:02:07] J. Maceo: Wow. Where does that start? So, uh, well I grew up, uh, black and gay a closet in, uh, Houston, Texas, uh, which uses a big city, but it's a big city in the city. So there was a lot of hiding, a lot of shame.[00:02:21] I grew up in the church, which was on one hand comforting. Uh, and I learned a lot from those experiences. On the other hand, I had to had to hide a lot, uh, who I was and that sort of thing. But I, you know, I loved church when I was young, uh, loved going, loved the music and that sort of thing. And I think musically, a lot of my inspiration does come from that.[00:02:44] Uh, but, uh, you know, I had a lot of struggles with depression as a kid, just, uh, wow. And I think a lot of it came from being gay and hiding them. And my father wondering, was that the issue, like, did he, was that really [00:03:00] gay or not? Um, and you know, fast, a little bit, you know, we talked about, uh, some of my struggles before and alcohol started to play a very good role in making me feel like just okay, Uh, so I, you know, had alcohol for, you know, for years abused, alcohol abuse, other substances, uh, you know, and been, I had been in and out of program, uh, like AA and that sort of thing.[00:03:29] Uh, now I've currently been away from everything for five years, uh, which is huge for a dude like me, but I'll tell you this, that no matter what I've gone through, I've learned from,[00:03:44] De'Vannon: okay. That's what it's all about. I want you to tell me, um, what you learned about being an ex preacher. [00:03:52] J. Maceo: Wow. Uh, the prejudice of people too. Um, that's one of [00:03:57] De'Vannon: the, it's hard to tell these days. [00:04:00] [00:04:02] J. Maceo: No, I hear you. I mean, it's, it's funny, uh, prejudice. I knew cust um, [00:04:08] De'Vannon: what denomination were you were a preacher in a Baptist.[00:04:13] Yeah, they cuss. That's not all it did to who did. That's what I said. That's not all they did to [00:04:19] J. Maceo: no, you're right. So, and I, it's funny, what I learned was I learned to kind of walk a line because there was church me and there was outside of church, me and I feel like, you know, on Sundays, uh, and on Tuesday night for Bible study, I was one person.[00:04:39] And then when I left, I was completely different. Like in full German, I fashioned a completely different person, a couple of things that I did learn, uh, from, uh, from my preaching days, especially in my church that I went to. So my uncle, when I moved here, I went to a church. My uncle was, he still lives the pastor there.[00:04:58] Um, and [00:05:00] he. Challenged my thinking in a lot of ways, the way he looked at reading the Bible, I mean, he would pick it apart. You know, what's the Greek org, what's the Hebrew words they're written in different languages. He would go to, you know, what was the context, the culture of the situation. And so I learned to look at things, a lot of things through, through context and not just at face value.[00:05:22] I think that's a huge, huge thing that I learned. Um, I learned a lot of spirituality I'd say from my uncle because, uh, he was definitely, you know, cooler than my parents. I moved out here at 16 and my parents had that tight grip and my uncle was like, Hey, go discover life. Be, you know, be who you are, you know, be, you know, just go out and discover stuff.[00:05:46] And so through the, through the preaching, I learned a different way of looking at things. Um, I think I learned how to be connected. To something greater than myself, someone, [00:06:00] something greater than myself, uh, which helps me now on a daily basis. And I learned, uh, you know, I, I love the saying that another, uh, guy who was a preacher said, he said, don't take yourself too seriously, take what you do seriously, but don't take yourself so seriously.[00:06:18] Uh, so [00:06:19] De'Vannon: yeah, I hear you on that now. Um, Houston is a big city. That's where I was a drug dealer ad and that's where I became addicted to all my vices. Uh, yeah, I, um, uh, that's why I went to jail. That's why I was homeless and everything like that. Houston is a, Houston is a motherfucker motherfucker. [00:06:41] J. Maceo: I never experienced it as an adult.[00:06:45] You [00:06:45] De'Vannon: know, it's great for people, as long as you're not like, you know, want hit by lightning, you know, the police and shit like, like me, I can't like. I'm not currently wanted by police in Houston, [00:07:00] but I am banned from Bank of America for life. So no, you know, it happen, you know, in my twenties and yeah.[00:07:14] And I thought it was so interesting how you and, um, Demi came to be co-host because he was saying like, he interviewed you for the show that he had, and then he was so inspired by you that you ended up being a co-host. So, you know how incredible the kick ass, you have to be like the best guest ever.[00:07:37] Cause it, and this and this community people like there is, um, there is, um, quality of host, then there's quality of guests as well. And then. Um, and so, and so for you to have had been that good to be like, not just, Hey, I'm going to give you a raving review, but to come host this show, [00:07:59] J. Maceo: I [00:08:00] think we vibed off of each other, you know, in one, in one case it can be great hosts or great guests.[00:08:06] But I think in this, like this in a lot of areas of life, sometimes there's just a, a vibe that's there. And I love that there's a vibe and a flow. And I think we had that, uh, that day, but I I'd say now we have a, we have a good chemistry, [00:08:22] De'Vannon: right? It's so that, let me start, go back to the preaching thing. Now I spent some time in seminary.[00:08:27] You don't have to go to seminary to be a preacher. Um, in fact, like the Southern religions, like the Baptist and the Pentecostals really don't have from, from my experience and exposure to them that have regard for people who do go to school to learn how to preach, you know, they look at them as less authentic.[00:08:45] Well, I mean a ministry. And, um, so I went into seminary because that's what I was caught up in at the time I didn't stay because of the seminary was about bullshit. I came to learn that I'm curious as to why you are an ex preacher [00:09:00] and not steal a preacher, what happened? [00:09:02] J. Maceo: Sure. And I'll say this, that, I mean, in the churches that I went to were really big on education.[00:09:09] Uh, and I know that's not true with a lot of places. I do hear what you're saying about the authentic stuff, but, uh, in addition to the seminary, my uncle had a, um, uncle's last pastor had a, uh, a group that he, a conference that he had every year that went over a lot of those things that was kind of like a, um, an addition to seminary, like something that's with like a conference to teach preachers and teachers, uh, different things about, you know, context and culture and, uh, and doctorate and a lot of those things and help them with tools to, to, uh, to preach more of effectively.[00:09:43] But why am I excited? It's it's funny. I can loop this back to, uh, so part of it, I was thinking I'm like, which part do I say first part of it was that struggle, man, that struggle of I'm gay, but I have to hide this. I think [00:10:00] that's part of why I didn't go to seminary, uh, was because I knew I'd be immersed in a life and it wouldn't just be Sunday and Tuesday and maybe another day of the week, it would be one of those all day things.[00:10:11] So there was a separation between me and a lot of the other preachers who did, you know, go to school and go, go through that. Uh, but what happened? I remember, and I was good at preaching. I studied a lot. I was, I enjoyed it. I loved, I loved it while I was there. Uh, but then I ran back to have a different life.[00:10:31] So there was this, when they call me Reverend, and then there was when I was going out to, you know, I, I feel bad because they raised an offering here. I'm I am answering the question, but I just thought about this. They would raise an offering when you breached, uh, back then. And every time I'd be like, I'm going to get some books and I'm going to, you know, use this to, for some great stuff.[00:10:51] And that meant I would have to use that to, you know, go get my alcohol, they'll get drugs because of just the, the [00:11:00] feelings that were going on inside. And there was something in that when I, when I preached that, I felt like it touched people, but sometimes it felt like they're getting touched from this, but I don't feel like I am was a huge, huge thing for me.[00:11:15] But when I stopped preaching, I remember my first boyfriend, uh, we, he was, he was complete atheist. So I remember one time I went to preach. And he's like, ah, I'll come to your make-believe thing and, you know, come hear you preach. If you want me to do your little Jesus thing. And the weirdest thing is while, while I felt good that he would even come because of, you know, his beliefs, I started thinking, holy shit, like he comes, who do I say he is?[00:11:47] And what do I do? And I started spinning out about him coming to hear me preach because then my two worlds would collide. And from that moment on, I felt like I didn't need to be doing anything that would make me [00:12:00] have to hide my partner. We're not together anymore, but I feel like that I want it to be more authentic in my life in general.[00:12:08] So I think that's one thing that, uh, one reason. [00:12:13] De'Vannon: Right. That was going to be my next question was like, how did you reconcile, preaching with being a member of the alphabet community, but you did answer that. [00:12:20] J. Maceo: Yeah, well, you know, and I know there's a lot of, one thing I was fortunate with. I know a lot of people, uh, LGBT people to alphabet.[00:12:29] I love that, but I know there are a lot of us who, uh, went to places where they told him, you know, you're going to hell if you're gay. And I was our church, you know, surgeons that I went to were more like, you know, free grace, you know, you believe. And, you know, and you're, you know, quote unquote, save the, the good part about that.[00:12:49] As I knew that I was just someone with what I considered back then a struggle, uh, the bad news is, you know, what, that whole free grace thing, I was like, I can do whatever the hell I want, you know?[00:13:00] [00:13:02] De'Vannon: Right. Uh, we gotta be careful with our liberties so that they don't consume us. But what you were saying about like your one preacher who was, um, In his interpretation and explain and above, we'll get it into the context of the culture of the time when the original Hebrew and Greek and Aramaic. Um, that's something that I preach constantly on this show to people.[00:13:22] And I'll be getting that in my blog because it is crucial. Uh, you know, we understand fully the word for ourselves. And so whatever we're going to read through whatever kind of texts, I don't care for what country or nation it is, is important to understand. And what is really being said. And especially in its original languages, before we go and change our lives over it, or let somebody tell us what we ought to be doing or beat us over the head.[00:13:47] Um, I'm doing actually a three-part series with, uh, Reverend Marcia Ledford, um, who is, um, a strong LGBTQ [00:14:00] advocate. She's married to her wife and everything like that. We're focusing on, you know, the biblical call clobber passages that they always try to come for us with and everything. I thought it was that important.[00:14:10] Yeah, I actually do three, three whole episodes dedicated to breaking that shit down and actually understanding what it is. And so, so y'all stay tuned for that. That just made me think about all that. I can't wait to hear that, but you see, I got, I got kicked out of church for being LGBTQ, so there's like a very hot button with me.[00:14:33] That's the next blog. I'm getting ready to release on my website too, because you know, they really had me fucked up, but you know, I was, I wasn't trying to beat no bitches. I asked that day, so I just left quietly. I didn't want to have to lay it. Lady's hands on the mother thought that was, but you know, I'm a different person now.[00:14:51] I still love Jesus, but I'm a little bit, little bit more realistic about the way I approach it. So, um, [00:15:00] so, so podcasts, cosmic attorney with the DME and Jay, uh, on the podcast, you have a lot. Advice for self-improvement, you've done a lot of self study, self search, and I can attest from being in the sober community myself, when you've been addicted to something and gotten carried away with it.[00:15:18] And then you start to sober journey. A lot of the focus is on self-improvement, what you can do to better your self. And so, um, there's many different types of interpretations of sobriety, but they do all, I think, come down to self-improvement. And so you have a lot of interesting insight in techniques and stuff that you bring up.[00:15:40] So we're going to talk about some of those, the one you were talking about, something called running meditation. And when I heard this, my ears perked up, because I've never, I'd never heard it. Anybody talk about meditation and like an active state, which you said that you were uncomfortable with sitting still and listening to your thoughts.[00:15:58] And a lot of people are that way. And a lot of [00:16:00] people can't sit still and do meditation. So what is running meditation? And, you know, it's [00:16:03] J. Maceo: funny, I'll tell you now I do this still meditation also. I've learned it. I did it this morning for about 20 minutes. Uh, and that's when people, so I think, uh, you know, people look at meditation as you have to do it one way or you're doing it wrong.[00:16:19] And I think, you know, back to, uh, you know, if you look at the recovery community, there's one of the steps that, you know, talks about, uh, getting conscious contact with God or your higher power through prayer and meditation. And I always tell everybody the kind of crux of that isn't prayer or meditation, it's conscious contact.[00:16:37] So I look at my meditation, can't be wrong if it brings me into conscious contact when something greater than me. So my running meditation, what I would do when I ran, I would. And all of a sudden I would feed myself with positive the whole way. You know, I feed myself, I'm loving. I am kind. I am, [00:17:00] because whenever you attach, I am too is like, that's okay.[00:17:03] Powerful two words. And that's what we become. That's what we act like. So just running right. I'm wealthy. I live in a friendly universe. I'm in all this. I played through my head over and over again on a loop saying it to myself as I ran. And what would happen was, as I said that, and my heart's beating fast.[00:17:20] I get an elevated emotion. There's something. I think that happened when you have a thought and mix that with an elevated, positive emotion. I think there's something magical had happened where we draw what we're trying to manifest to, uh, to ourselves. So I would do that. And the reason I would do that is because I figured if I did that while I was running and I put that all through my head consciously that, that stuff, even when I was walking or in my regular state would bleed over into my unconscious.[00:17:50] De'Vannon: Okay. So what you were saying is you yes. Your subconscious mind, so you attached, um, positive affirmations. Were they positive physical feeling, right? This, [00:18:00] there could technically be, uh, combined with any sort of thing that gives a person a positive physical sensation. So maybe fencing, um, maybe sex might be kind of positive [00:18:13] J. Maceo: assets that can be spiritual people say, oh God.[00:18:15] Oh God.[00:18:20] De'Vannon: Yeah. And so that, um, that reminds me of anchoring. And we were talking earlier because we both, um, have training and hypnotherapy, but you know, the, you know, and having been it hypnosis, you know, we talk about anchoring, you know, positive things to replace negative things in like the subconscious and things like that.[00:18:46] And so that, that, that reminded me. Of that. Well, since we talking about the hip hitting the therapy, uh we'll go ahead and talk about it now. Yeah. I, I went to hypnosis motivation Institute [00:19:00] HMI, which is in Tarzana, California, which is Los Angeles, California. That's how I spent the pandemic work on my, uh, hitting the therapy training here.[00:19:08] And now what classes are that you take there? [00:19:11] J. Maceo: It is so funny. So, uh, I went, uh, through, I went through 1 0 1 where you start to, I think I left in 4 0 1. Uh, one of the reasons I did leave is because I know people at my church were like, you know, oh, I can't believe you're doing this. That's kind of crazy stuff.[00:19:28] Uh, you know, if, if somebody, if you told me, you know, that, you know, you were doing hypnotherapy, I would think you didn't believe in Jesus. I got a lot of that. Uh, but I got, I took some great courses, you know, Uh, different courses on, you know, what hypnosis was, uh, how to hypnotize people. I was big on the countdown induction.[00:19:48] Like that was my big thing, not the arm raising, but the countdown, I did that with people sometimes, you know, at parties or just, you know, sitting around, uh, dream analysis was really [00:20:00] great. And I wish that I would use some more of those tools right now. I keep a pad by the bed and really allow myself to, to, to process and to, uh, lean from my, uh, more from my subconscious.[00:20:15] But this is something, and I'm glad I read that you went to Asia, my to, uh, because I went there a while back, but one of the things that I didn't think about, I haven't thought about this for years until, uh, yesterday, uh, my going by J Macio has its roots in at Hmm. And this is how so I used to sign my name.[00:20:39] I can just say my name. Uh, John M Wilkes informacion, John M wilt the second. And when I was an HMI, we took a handwriting. And the handwriting analysis course talked about, you know, different things and you know, how you, uh, express different things, underlining a name, putting accidentally [00:21:00] crossing through a name and all this sort of thing.[00:21:02] And for some reason, I love my first initial and my middle name. So from that moment on, I started signing. My name is Jay Macio Wilkes the second. Uh, and I love the people. Very seldom somebody would call me Jay Macio. But, uh, recently I was like, you know what? I love this name. You look up John Wilkes, you're going to get John Wilkes booth.[00:21:24] Uh, but Jay Macio and I feel like there's a, uh, a difference there. A good difference that lets me be Jay Macio I'd say is more creative. Uh, but yeah, I mean, I learned, I don't want to get too far away from the atrium. I learned a lot there. Do you finish that, uh, school? Uh, wish I had [00:21:44] De'Vannon: online do it online from your home at your convenience.[00:21:49] The modules are just there. You can just take them whenever you got like 18 months to finish it. You don't have to like, meet with an instructor at a certain time or anything like that. Oh, well, [00:22:00] now that you do have an instructor, if you want to ask questions and things like that, and you do leave feedback after every module, and if you need a phone call, you know, and all of that, then sure you can do that.[00:22:11] But that's not a part of it. I tried to talk to instructors at least as possible because that's not what I needed them for. I wanted to go through this and learn it at my own pace. And that's exactly what I was able to do. [00:22:22] J. Maceo: Oh, wow. Well, you know, when I went there, one of the good things though, they gave you free a couple of free hypnotherapy sessions.[00:22:29] So they match you up with somebody and you get a couple of free sessions with that. I like, you know what? I, it's funny. I did not even think about this until recently. So when I went there, this was years, years ago, um, they taught us, you know, self hypnosis. Which, you know, a lot of folks would just look at as meditation.[00:22:51] I think about it now, but you know, we learned kind of self-hypnosis and how, one of the things I loved is I would do that on the [00:23:00] way there maybe 15 minutes on a bus, I would do that. And there was something in that relaxing my mind and getting like the speaking to myself that I felt like I had slept a whole eight hours in 15 minutes.[00:23:15] So that's something that I loved from, uh, that I learned from that place. [00:23:19] De'Vannon: That's what it's all about, man. And I recommend learning hypnotherapy to everybody. Whenever I adopt some children, they go and through the course, then go the people on the world, I can probably make, do something, but because you really got to want to learn a lot about yourself.[00:23:35] To do hypnotherapy and that really, really stay there. I went originally to combine it, to learn those modalities, to get certified, to combine it with what, with my massage therapy practice, because I'm also a licensed massage therapy, but then Ms. Corona came to town and then I closed the massage therapy business.[00:23:52] And so, but in the process of learning about the mind, I realized I'm fucked up myself. I don't need to be working on nobody else. So then I turned more towards the [00:24:00] self-hypnosis aspect of it and I'm in my God had covered a lot of stuff. So, um, talk to me about gratitude and, um, and why you think operating, because we were talking about the positive emotions that you associated when you were running with your positive affirmations.[00:24:23] When people think about gratitude, they talk about. That as well as being like a very high vibration. And so talk to us about gratitude and why it's so important to just be thankful. [00:24:36] J. Maceo: Well, you know, it is important. I mean, I have a list of five guys today. It was six, but that I sent in the gratitude list to every single day.[00:24:46] Uh, and some of them, uh, you know, send them back some don't, but the reason gratitude is so important. A couple of reasons. Uh, the first one is that it does put me in a positive state. So what happens [00:25:00] is that, you know, whatever I think about. You know, that's what my world is going to be about this whole, like, you know, confirmation bias that I'm going to prioritize information that agrees with my existing belief system.[00:25:13] So if I think this this way, and I see a hundred things that say it's other way, but I see one thing that agrees with me, I'm going to stick to the thing that's agreeing with me. So in gratitude, what I do is that I actively make myself think about things to be thankful for. And what happens is that I become a thankful person rather than mean, and this is the thing, because if I sit around long enough, I can think about the things that I don't have.[00:25:42] I can think about the things that I'm scared of. I can think about the things that I'm mad about, and then I can feel like life hasn't given me a good day. And when I feel like that, I walk around acting like somebody who life has not given a good hand. So when I get into gratitude and for me and do [00:26:00] five things, some people do 10, so people do three.[00:26:02] But when I still at list every day, at least one time a day, I'm sitting down thinking of things that I'm thankful for. And what that does is it puts me in a more positive space, but it also puts me in a space to receive. Because if I think a lot of us, I would say this, a lot of us are getting gifts and blessings every day that we just ignore.[00:26:31] And there's something about gratitude that makes me say, you know what?

This week on Over The Farm Gate, we're talking about US President Elect Joe Biden and how he could bring big changes for US agriculture and a trade deal with the UK. Alex Black asks Farmers Guardian's Washington based columnist John Wilkes how Biden's pro-EU stance could affect the UK post Brexit and gets the lowdown on what Biden's term in office might mean for global agriculture. Last week, we looked at how Covid was causing a flight of young people from cities to rural areas and how this could be a huge opportunity for the countryside to reinvigorate rural economies. This week we ask, how can we make the countryside somewhere young people want to live and thrive?To delve into this, Jez Fredenburgh is joined by; Jane Craigie, director and co-founder of the Rural Youth Project, and managing director of Jane Craigie Marketing; and Ffion Storer-Jones, a rural young person and researcher, who also sits on the board of the Rural Youth Project and divides her time between her family farm in Wales, and her job in Brussels.

The whole planet is in the midst of an eruption of disease.   Agricultural occurrences are no different than human epidemics, in terms of potential damage.  The British Isles are on the list of places that come to mind when the words “agriculture” and “outbreak” are put together, not because they have any more than the rest of the planet, but because their battles over the last 30 years have been a particularly media-rich affair.  Bovine spongiform encephalopathy, commonly known as mad cow disease, and Scrapie (another transmissible spongiform encephalopathy, or TSE) hit Britain.  They're pretty powerful examples of the destruction that occurs in our food and economic systems from something like this. But it's not all bad.  Humans have some pretty powerful tools to work with, and top on the list are conceptual ideas like collaboration, cooperation, information, and resource diversification.  Today we're going to bring you a conversation with a guy that uses all of those tools in his daily life.  John Wilkes is a business consultant and journalist who uses his life experience and expertise from both sides of the Atlantic to produce a balanced perspective on commercial U.S. livestock production topics.  The first half of his life was on a traditional mixed farm in Shropshire, England, with a later stint in business and the restaurant industry.  He married a colonist (read:  American), and ended up living in Maryland, and writes a column for the UK Farmers Guardian called “View From The Hill.”  We caught up with him in November 2016 at the Livestock Conservancy Conference in Amhurst, Massachusetts, where he was attending both as a member of the Board of Directors of the Conservancy, but also in his role as the North American Ambassador for the UK's Rare Breeds Survival Trust.  He has a broad base of knowledge about many areas of British and American agriculture, including commercial and small farm production, heritage and commercial breeds, import and export requirements, genetics, the food supply, and on and on.  We hope you enjoy our conversation with a man that truly understands the power of collaboration.Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-wilkes-0b533a26 https://www.fginsight.com/ https://www.fginsight.com/news/top-stories/view-from-the-hill-us-talks-tough-on-trade-with-eu-77283 https://www.rbst.org.uk/ https://livestockconservancy.org/index.php/about/internal/board http://www.rarebreedscanada.ca/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_Breeds_Canada https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Livestock_Conservancy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_Breeds_Survival_Trust https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovine_spongiform_encephalopathy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrapie https://www.rbst.org.uk/news/rbst-join-up-with-the-greatest-online-agricultural-showSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/agriCulturePodcast)

Michael Bay pitches his remake of Casablanca, we watch Casablanca & speak to an eighteenth-century pornographer on the time phone. SHOW NOTES Michael Benjamin Bay (born February 17, 1965) is an American filmmaker known for directing and producing big-budget, high-concept action films characterized by fast cutting, stylistic visuals and extensive use of special effects, including frequent depictions of explosions. Casablanca is a 1942 American romantic film directed by Michael Curtiz based on Murray Burnett and Joan Alison's unproduced stage play Everybody Comes to Rick's. John Wilkes (17 October 1725 – 26 December 1797) was a British radical, journalist and politician. He was first elected a Member of Parliament in 1757. In the Middlesex election dispute, he fought for the right of his voters—rather than the House of Commons—to determine their representatives.

A murder in the aftermath of the Civil War draws together a long-serving MI5 officer and a gentleman rat. So many questions... Which Civil War? Where is this set, where rats can be gentlemen? Why is this murder important? And what do we do with that horrifically long title? We try to find answers for these questions and more!

Betrouwbare Bronnen aflevering 69Op 12 december 2019 bepalen de Britse kiezers de nieuwe samenstelling van 'the Mother of Parliaments', zoals zij dat zelf graag noemen. De zeden, excentriciteiten, stijl en historie van de Britse politieke cultuur fascineren velen al eeuwenlang. PG Kroeger vertelt over enkele aspecten en eigenaardigheden en ontmythologiseert er tegelijkertijd ook een paar.Zo blijkt dat de eeuwenoude vergaderzalen en kantoren van Westminster Palace, met statige trappenhuizen en de nauwe bankjes van de Commons en chique aankleding van de Lords alles behalve oud en historisch zijn. Ze zijn het werk van een architect in de jaren tussen 1834 en 1852, wiens naam overigens niet genoemd mocht worden als bouwmeester. Sterker nog, het Lagerhuis is herbouwd in die stijl van rond 1840 nadat het door brandbommen van de Luftwaffe was verwoest in mei 1941.Die bijzondere politieke cultuur van de Britten is in belangrijke mate bepaald door een Nederlander, koning William III. Met hem begon een apart soort 'constitutionele monarchie' die tot de dag van vandaag het fundament vormt van de democratie in het Verenigd Koninkrijk. Dat neemt niet weg, dat in de eeuwen sindsdien ingrijpende veranderingen, conflicten en opmerkelijke leiders hun stempel op het land en Empire hebben gezet.Zo vertelt PG over het kiesdistrict Old Sarum waar geen mensen woonden, maar wel twee Kamerleden gekozen werden. En de industriestad Manchester die geen enkele afgevaardigde kende. Die situatie in de 18e eeuw was niet houdbaar en leidde uiteindelijk tot The Great Reform Act van 1832. Ook groeide na 1783 en 'the madness of King George' de traditie van sterke prime ministers die feitelijk de nationale leider werden. PG stipt enkele van deze soms uitzonderlijke persoonlijkheden aan, zoals de 24-jarige premier William Pitt the Younger, de briljante literator Benjamin Disraeli, voor wie zelfs Bismarck groot respect had, en natuurlijk Margaret Thatcher. Het net verschenen laatste, derde deel van haar geautoriseerde biografie geeft verrassende inkijkjes in hoe zij het premierschap nieuwe lading en beeldvorming gaf, met dank aan de live tv-uitzending van haar wekelijkse vragenuur. Wereldwijd werd 'the Iron Lady' daardoor ineens een mediaster. "No, monsieur Delors. No! No!"PG Kroeger over de diepe wortels van de eigenzinnige Britse democratie, de kunst van het debatteren en de retorica. Van de galg van John Wilkes tot de zwemmende ratten van Winston Churchill.

Sometime in 1864 or 1865, Robert Lincoln, son of President Abraham Lincoln, had a close call with death in a subway station when he was saved at the last minute by an honest-to-God celebrity -- Edwin Booth, one of the most famous actors of the day. Neither man knew their fates would intersect in a much more tragic fashion shortly thereafter, when Edwin's brother, actor John Wilkes Booth, would assassinate Robert's father Abraham.

Actor Edwin Booth was one of the 19th century’s biggest stars. One of the illegitimate sons of equally-famous actor Junius Brutus Booth, he made thousands of dollars touring America’s grandest theaters and playing Shakespeare’s greatest roles. But today, relatively few people have heard of Edwin Booth. Instead, they remember his brother—also an actor—John Wilkes Booth. That’s because on April 14, 1865, John Wilkes assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. The Booths’ story is like one of Shakespeare’s tragedies, with an unstable father, a rivalry between brothers, and an ending that changes the course of history. To learn more about the Booth brothers and their tumultuous lives, we talked to Nora Titone, resident dramaturg at Chicago’s Court Theatre and author of 2010’s My Thoughts Be Bloody: The Bitter Rivalry Between Edwin and John Wilkes Booth That Led to an American Tragedy. Nora Titone is interviewed by Barbara Bogaev. From our Shakespeare Unlimited podcast series. Published February 5, 2019. © Folger Shakespeare Library. All rights reserved. This podcast episode, “My Brother, My Competitor,” was produced by Richard Paul. Garland Scott is the associate producer. It was edited by Gail Kern Paster. Ben Lauer is the web producer.

The Travel City of Cosnick has proven to be no friend to the Cog Crew. Nova has lost her gold and become stranded in the Lower City. The group made their way below to find their Forged companion, only to encounter hostility at every turn. Can the group find Nova before she burns down every seedy tavern in the Lower City? And even if they do, will the Brotherhood of Iron let them back into the Upper City and back to the Gambler?

This week on The Farm Report, host Erin Fairbanks is chatting with Steven Wood of Poverty Lane Orchards and Farnum Hill Ciders from about the new Arctic Apple, a genetically engineered creation of scientists working for the Okanagan Specialty Fruits company in British Columbia. Recently approved for sale by the USDA, they are seemingly identical to any other apple available at a grocery store, with one key difference: they don’t brown after being cut. Steven gives his thoughts on the new apple and explains how it may affect the global market for apples, plus questions if this is the right direction for research to proceed. After the break, Erin is joined by HRN host of The Whole Shebang, John Wilkes to discuss unmanned aerial vehicles as they are gaining popularity in the agricultural realm. Recently writing an article for The Farmer’s Guardian, John relays that the FAA recently released an official proposal for usage and that those who want to use the flying craft for business were generally encouraged by the FAA’s proposal. Tune in for another jam packed show! This program was brought to you by Whole Foods Market. “It’s taking the place of a lot of apple research that’s ultimately aimed at actually understanding the world we live in instead of trying to manipulate it to make it easier for us. We don’t understand enough about what we already have.” [12:00] “If people won’t buy brown apples and somebody breeds brownness out, I’m not going to be the one to object, except that we should be paying more attention to more important things.” [18:00] —Steven Wood on The Farm Report

This week on The Farm Report concludes the three part series on the sheep and lamb industry. Guest-host Talia Ralph fills in for Erin Fairbanks today and is joined by the co-producer of the series, John Wilkes. The first guest is Jean-Pierre Garnier, CEO of English Lamb and Beef Executive. EBLEX exists to enhance the profitability and sustainability of the English beef and lamb sector. He talks about sheep in the global markets and how, for instance, the UK sheep sector could be affected should the American market open up. John also asks Jean-Pierre about how the possible outcome of the Scottish referendum could affect the lamb and sheep industry. After the break, Talia and John speak with Cody Hiemke who is a lamb buyer with Niman Ranch in San Francisco. Cody gives a great overview of where the US industry is currently and what to expect from the sheep and lamb industry in the future. This program was brought to you by Cain Vineyard & Winery. “We need to keep lamb in the forefront of consumers’ minds.” [7:40] —Jean-Pierre Garnier on The Farm Report “Here in the Midwest and out east, there’s a lot of demand for the direct market of lamb.” [28:00] —Cody Hiemke on The Farm Report

This week on The Farm Report, host Erin Fairbanks picks up where she left off last week with the second part of the series on the sheep and lamb industry. Opening the show with the co-producer of the series, John Wilkes, a US based livestock consultant, writer and speaker with a background as a UK sheep and beef producer and farmer, the two talk technology in the sheep realm and how it has ultimately helped the industry. Despite the initial negative connotations that might be associated with using such technology like an ultrasound with livestock, John explains that this technology can be very helpful to aid in pregnancy detection and the problem comes in with whether it is legal state by state for anyone other than a licensed veterinarian to perform the procedure, though it is noninvasive. After the break, Erin welcomes Dr. Bret Taylor, Animal Scientist of the USDA Agricultural Research Center, who adds to the discussion of technology in the sheep and lamb industry. Talking about his work with the Sheep Experiment Station, he shares that it is in place to develop integrated methods for increasing production efficiency of sheep and to simultaneously improve the sustainability of rangeland ecosystems. Tune in for another sheep and lamb-centric episode! This program has been brought to you by Heritage Foods USA. “The main thing is estimated breed values, and using the technology of ultrasound to take measurements of the animal as it’s growing at various points in its life to ascertain the amount of meat that it’s carrying.” [2:23] “The estimated breed value gives indication of that animal’s sire, or the producer of that animal, if it is looked to improve the breed and have characteristics which you would find acceptable and look to improve your production.” [3:05] — John Wilkes on The Farm Report “The US Sheep Experiment Station… was actually the USDA’s answer to begin solving many of the sheep industry’s as far back as 1915.” [18:42] “It’s not the lack of understanding the technology, I think the majority of sheep producers that I visit with… think it’s the coordination of those [technological] efforts. We know that those technologies are extensive and expensive.” [26:53] — Dr. Bret Taylor on The Farm Report

This week on The Farm Report, host Erin Fairbanks kicks off a multi-part series on the lamb and sheep industry, first welcoming John Wilkes, a US based livestock consultant, writer and speaker with a background as a UK sheep and beef producer and farmer to the program. Opening the show with a brief history of the sheep’s rise and fall, John explains the significance of sheep in the histories of both the United States and United Kingdom, as well as around the world. John also explains some basic terminology, talking the differences between lamb and sheep, the true definition of mutton, along with the differences between wool and meat breeds. After the break, Erin is joined by Keith Martin of Pure Bred Lamb and Elysian Fields Sheep Farm. Located on 200 acres of farmland in Greene County, Pennsylvania, Keith is the supplier of sheep to notable chefs, like Thomas Keller. Due to observing the natural lifecycle of sheep flocks and thus changing his initial style of farming, Keith goes into detail about his patented system, Safe Alternative, that describes this manner in which his sheep are raised. Tune in for an info-packed episode, ewe won’t be disappointed! This program was brought to you by Heritage Foods USA. “In histories of both countries (US & UK) sheep have played a major part.” [6:57] “Lamb is an animal that doesn’t see its first birthday… which means that they are killed at their prime when the meat is at its best. ” [11:20] — John Wilkes on The Farm Report “I had to make a change… I looked around me at that time and to those that I respected most… and they were all farmers.” [23:09] “I began to notice, through observation, what their needs were. We call that today ‘the voice of the lamb.'” [27:52] — Keith Martin on The Farm Report

Enterprises in every industry sector are increasingly demanding that their investment in IT is justified by keeping IT service delivery and support aligned and in synch with their business objectives. Our research community is also growing more aware of the issue, as testifies the theme of this 2007 edition of IM: "moving from bits to business value". Our panelists will address the following questions and more from the audience. 1) What is the business value of managing networks and IT systems? 2) How can an enterprise capture this value, or even how can line of business managers be convinced that it pays off in the long run to spend money in management software? 3) What's automation really worth? 4) Would an IT manager make the same decisions as he/she makes every day if they had better visibility on the business that IT supports? 5) How is the network and system management community addressing these issues?
