Podcast appearances and mentions of joseph wheeler

On a cold day in January, our reporters stumbled upon a strange story about Joseph Wheeler, a car marketing executive from Milton Keynes who had been granted extraordinary power at the University of Greater Manchester (formerly the University of Bolton), whose company had received £8 million in the past six financial years for performing marketing and brand management services, and who was accused of making racist remarks and threatening to sack people if they didn't bend to his will.Then, the story became stranger. We uncovered evidence that Joseph Wheeler and another senior university executive, Paul Starkey, tried to pressure ECN, one of the university's biggest commercial partners, into transferring 40% of its revenue into a private company that Wheeler owned. That deal looked like an arrangement for kickbacks – a form of illicit payment in return for something – to be paid to Wheeler's firm, and the circumstances in which it was signed suggest bribery laws may have been broken.Private Eye has picked up our story, and MPs Phil Brickell and Neil O'Brien have raised our reporting to the Department for Education and in parliament. In today's episode, Mollie and Joshi reflect on the last month of reporting, and where the university goes next.The University of Greater Manchester saga in full16/08/2024: Our first story about the university.

I really want to know... "How is your race going?" It's so important to me that I struggled over this post for two days. While you think about your answer...and will you please share it with us in the comment section below. Will you take a walk with me? Washington D.C. is one of my favorite places to walk...especially for a prayer walk. The Thomas Jefferson building, one of the four Library of Congress buildings is my absolute favorite building. Then my 2nd favorite is the Capitol Building. The architecture of the Capitol is breath-taking. Housed inside the Capitol building is the National Statuary Hall Collection. It is absolutely fascinating collection of 100 statues of important people. I was curious..."Who are these people and why are they there?" I later discovered the main exhibition space was once used as a hallway for the House of Representatives; after the House moved it became Statuary Hall. This two story, semicircular room is one of the most popular rooms in the Capitol. In 1864, Congress invited each state to contribute statues of two of their most important, most influential citizens to represent them in Statuary Hall. When Statuary Hall became too crowded, 38 statues were beautifully rearranged, while the remaining statues were distributed throughout the Capitol Building and Capitol Visitor Center. Who? How? I can't imagine how a state would pick a person to represent them. The most distinguished... well-known... the person that could represent their state in the very best light. All sorts of people made it there, a farmer, inventors, soldiers, doctors, even lawyers. Since I am an Alabama girl I was anxious to see who actually made it, I mean their statue made it, to the Capitol. Out of all the historical people that could have been selected Helen Keller and Joseph Wheeler made it. Helen Keller's name was one that I remembered from my school days, but I wasn't familiar with Joseph Wheeler or his role in making Alabama. Surprised! I was surprised that there were so many names in that Hall of Heroes that I didn't recognize. I may not recognize their names...but every single person is there because their lives made a difference in their state. When I think of that hall of heroes, it always takes me to another Hall of Heroes...for me one that is even more important, the Heroes of Faith. Paul writes about in Hebrews 11. I know...there is a little debate about the author of Hebrews, but most folks (some a lot smarter than myself) agree that it was Paul. Paul takes us down a biblical hallway of heroes of faith. Unlike the hallway in the capitol building, every single name is identified by one trait--faith. While that might seem odd, Paul begins our walk down the hallway with an introduction on why faith is so important. So Important... that I don't want to mess up his words, so I'm gonna let him speak for himself. I'm going to use New Living Translation. You can read it out of your favorite. 1Faith shows the reality of what we hope for; it is the evidence of things we cannot see. 2Through their faith, the people in days of old earned a good reputation. 3By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen. Then Paul begins to point out specific Heroes of Faith and a brief overview of what they did... Abel brought a sacrifice Enoch didn't die Noah built a boat Abraham traveled to an unknown place. Isaac blessed his sons Jacob blessed Joseph sons. Wait a minute! Did you see that? Blessed? Of all the things that God could have put on Paul's heart to share about Isaac... about Jacob. But it says they blessed sons. Are you blessing your children? It is so easy to speak what you see instead of speaking the promises of God over them. Let's go back to Scripture. 23It was by faith that Moses’ parents hid him for three months when he was born. They saw that God had given them an unusual child, and they were not afraid to disobey the king’s command. 24It was by faith that Moses, when he grew up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter. 25He chose to share the oppression of God’s people instead of enjoying the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26He thought it was better to suffer for the sake of Christ than to own the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking ahead to his great reward. 27It was by faith that Moses left the land of Egypt, not fearing the king’s anger. He kept right on going because he kept his eyes on the one who is invisible. 28It was by faith that Moses commanded the people of Israel to keep the Passover and to sprinkle blood on the doorposts so that the angel of death would not kill their firstborn sons. 29It was by faith that the people of Israel went right through the Red Sea as though they were on dry ground. But when the Egyptians tried to follow, they were all drowned. 30It was by faith that the people of Israel marched around Jericho for seven days, and the walls came crashing down. 31It was by faith that Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed with the people in her city who refused to obey God. For she had given a friendly welcome to the spies. 32How much more do I need to say? It would take too long to recount the stories of the faith of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and all the prophets. 33By faith these people overthrew kingdoms, ruled with justice, and received what God had promised them. They shut the mouths of lions, 34quenched the flames of fire, and escaped death by the edge of the sword. Their weakness was turned to strength. They became strong in battle and put whole armies to flight. 35Women received their loved ones back again from death. But others were tortured, refusing to turn from God in order to be set free. They placed their hope in a better life after the resurrection. 36Some were jeered at, and their backs were cut open with whips. Others were chained in prisons. 37Some died by stoning, some were sawed in half, and others were killed with the sword. Some went about wearing skins of sheep and goats, destitute and oppressed and mistreated. 38They were too good for this world, wandering over deserts and mountains, hiding in caves and holes in the ground. 39All these people earned a good reputation because of their faith, yet none of them received all that God had promised.

All rights reserved.) What was Paul saying? Redemption was part of God's plan, but it couldn't be fulfilled until Jesus came. These Old Testament heroes had faith that accomplish amazing things, but Jesus had not paid the price of our sins yet. His death gave us access into God's presence. He torn down the veil that prevented people from entering into the Holiest of Holies! (Hebrews 10:19-22) Because of Jesus we can come boldly into His presence. In the new covenant He puts His laws in our hearts and writes them in our minds. (Hebrews 10:15-16) Paul has more. He had a very important reason for walking us down the Hallway of Heroes of Faith. Let's keep going in Chapter 12. I want to read from The Message version. Hebrews 12: 1-3 Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls! 4-11 In this all-out match against sin, others have suffered far worse than you, to say nothing of what Jesus went through—all that bloodshed! So don’t feel sorry for yourselves. Or have you forgotten how good parents treat children, and that God regards you as his children? My dear child, don’t shrug off God’s discipline, but don’t be crushed by it either. It’s the child he loves that he disciplines; the child he embraces, he also corrects. God is educating you; that’s why you must never drop out. He’s treating you as dear children. This trouble you’re in isn’t punishment; it’s training, the normal experience of children. Only irresponsible parents leave children to fend for themselves. Would you prefer an irresponsible God? We respect our own parents for training and not spoiling us, so why not embrace God’s training so we can truly live? While we were children, our parents did what seemed best to them. But God is doing what is best for us, training us to live God’s holy best. At the time, discipline isn’t much fun. It always feels like it’s going against the grain. Later, of course, it pays off handsomely, for it’s the well-trained who find themselves mature in their relationship with God. 12-13 So don’t sit around on your hands! No more dragging your feet! Clear the path for long-distance runners so no one will trip and fall, so no one will step in a hole and sprain an ankle. Help each other out. And run for it! Scripture taken from The Message.

I've used lots of Scripture because these verses paint a picture of  where so many believer's are right now. I struggle with it too. We get discouraged when we feel like we are not accomplishing enough. But it's no time for us to allow discouragement to stop us. There is too much at stake for you to just watch the race from the sideline. Run your race! not somebody else's race... your race. Do what God is telling you to do. Be encouraged. Run with endurance the race that is set before you! We must keep our eyes on Jesus. He is the author and the finisher of your faith. He wants to enable you to run your race well. He didn't call you to this race to frustrate you. He wants to help you! It's a race you can win. There is a reward for winning! And the reward is worth the trouble you're going through. Right now you are feeling the burn...the pain...but God has a reward that far out weighs the pain. It your eyes off how hard it is and back onto Jesus!   Let's pray. Father, I ask you to help my friend to run their race well. Help them not to be weary in well doing. Help them to lift their eyes off the race and onto your face. You are their strength and song. Help them to bring glory to your name through their attitude, their words and their choices. Thank you, Father. Amen. Are you running a good race? What are you doing by faith?

World Football League researcher extraordinaire Mark Speck (And a Dollar Short: The Empty Promises, Broken Dreams, and Somewhat-Less-Than-Comic Misadventures of the 1974 Florida Blazers) returns to the podcast to discuss the incredible story of Orlando’s first professional sports franchise – and the crazy challenger football league that hastened both its creation and demise. The Florida Blazers actually originated in late 1973 as the Washington Ambassadors, one of the originally-envisioned charter WFL teams to begin play the next summer.  From the outset, franchise owner/oceanographic engineer Joseph Wheeler had difficulties raising financing and securing a lease for DC’s RFK Stadium – and by March, had moved the team to nearby Norfolk, VA – with no better luck.     Hastened by a nervous WFL Commissioner Gary Davidson, Wheeler sold the club in May of 1974 – a mere two months before the start of the season – to an Orlando, FL syndicate led by former New England Patriots player and executive Rommie Loudd, which had just lost (to Tampa Bay) a bid to get an NFL expansion team.  Quickly setting up shop in a small and rickety Tangerine Bowl, the newly rechristened Blazers finally got their act together (at least on the field) with a surprising array of veteran (ex-Jets Bob Davis and Larry Grantham) and rookie (eventual league co-MVP Tommy Reamon) talent assembled by NFL star coach Jack Pardee – who rose to the league’s elite and ultimately to the World Bowl championship game.  Incredibly, off the field, the franchise was a financial disaster – riddled with poor attendance, non-existent marketing, inadequate financing, unpaid bills (and players) – and an owner who ultimately would up in jail for tax embezzlement and narcotics trafficking. And we’re only scratching the surface! Check out all the great World Football League garb and gear from our friends at: 503 Sports, SportsHistoryCollectibles.com, and OldSchoolShirts.com!

Sedgwick County commander Maj. Joseph Wheeler discusses the Red Kettles and other Salvation Arrmy fund-raising efforts, as well as the prgrams they help to support

The kitchen of the future might be completely pre-fabricated and delivered to the construction site ready to be installed. Joseph Wheeler says that these modular kitchens are far less expensive, have stringent quality controls, and can use the latest technologies to create a whole house integrated system. And: In a fortuitous accident, Chris Hughes and his students found a new way of attaching metal, in this case gold, to plastic. Chris believes that this breakthrough is a perfect example of his philosophy of teaching: that students often learn more by discovery and less by lectures. Hughes was named Outstanding Faculty of 2016 by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia. Plus: Engineer David Lattanzi has nearly died three times while inspecting bridges, so he's now using drones and 3-D computer modeling to inspect the bridges, many of which are now reaching the end of their lifespan. Later in the show: Sometimes all it takes to get kids excited about science is a bag full of eyeballs. Robert Tai has spent years studying when and why kids fall in love with science. Henry Alan Rowe uses fire and static electricity to draw students into chemistry. Plus: Science class matters even for kids who grow up to be writers or bankers. Tina Grotzer explains how science can help kids understand the causes of what’s going on around them.
