And the start of 2021 doesn't feel like it's getting any easier. So how do you stay focused at work? We talked to Dr. Angela Neal-Barnett, a professor at Kent University and the director of the Program for Research on Anxiety Disorders Among African Americans (PRADAA). She shared her advice on how we can stay focused at work when the news is painful to watch and being recirculated all around us. She also shared her thoughts on how events, like what happened in Washington, D.C. in January of this year, can affect the Black and brown communities, and what we can do about it. Here are some ways to help you stay focused: When you leave work, you have to leave work. Close the door, put away your laptop, and truly log-off. You have to create that balance. Manage the time you're spending with technology, and if at all possible, unplug. Remember that people cannot read your mind. If your coworkers are distracting you, politely tell them you are busy and will catch up with them later."

What we can learn from James Radcliffe, founder and CEO of INEOS, about sponsorship of sports events? The answer lies in his upcoming launch of the Ineos Grenadier 4x4 and how he sees sponsorship as part of building his business.Kent University researchers layout out a theory about how you can choose which kind of events a company should sponsor in their paper: ABSTRACT - Sponsorship as a marketing communication tool has increased remarkably over the past two decades. Drawing from research in social psychology, a conceptual framework which affords a clearer understanding of the appropriate sponsoring of events when objectives are to improve consumer attitudes and increase recall is developed. The framework suggests that companies sponsoring events that provide a moderately inconsistent Afit@ to their company will be viewed more favourably by consumers.I am working with Action Coach to sponsor their webinar series as it is an Afit for EASTWEST Public Relations.

This week Alex interviews Dr. Charlie Hall, Lecturer in Modern European History at the University of Kent to see how true our memory of the Blitz really is and compare its relevance to our isolated lives today. Dr. Charlie Hall teaches classes at Kent University on modern British history and his research includes specific topics on Britain during the Second World War. He is just the person to speak to about the Blitz and its value to British life today.

In what could be a decisive move against coronavirus, full-scale tracking and tracing of new infections is planned by the end May. It will see people using an app, and the government deploying tens of thousands of officials to chase down fresh outbreaks. It comes as testing is ramped up across the UK. The Evening Standard's political editor, Joe Murphy, explains how the system will work, and also discusses his exclusive interview with Labour's new leader Sir Keir Starmer. US President Donald Trump is undermining his own intelligence service with a claim he's seen evidence Covid-19 broke out of a lab in China. The office of the National Intelligence Director says there's nothing to suggest the virus is "genetically modified or manmade," and most scientists think it was transferred to humans from animals. But the President's approval ratings have been falling as infections increase in the US. So is this more about winning the election in November than investigating the origins of the outbreak? We ask US politics expert Dr Rubrick Biegon from Kent University. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Notes from my Modern History class at Kent University. Something I noticed/put together.

在今天的节目当中，要为大家介绍的是，2017年的诺贝尔奖颁奖的时候，得到了这个至高荣誉奖项的英国作家石黑一雄。因为他得了诺贝尔文学奖的关系，所以，他有一些小说陆续又能够翻译成为中文，出了新版。我们今天要介绍的，就是他其中的一本重要的小说作品，原来的标题叫做《When We Were Orphans》，中译本翻译叫做《我辈孤雏》。 石黑一雄这位作家，因为他2017年得了诺贝尔文学奖，所以在国际文坛上面的声名更加地为人所熟悉。一看他的名字，当然知道他是出生在日本，1954年出生在长崎，他是Kazuo Ishiguro，中文的汉字写作石黑一雄。不过，才不到6岁的时候，1960年，他的父亲到英国国家海洋学院从事研究，所以就把整个家庭搬到了英国。然后，他就一直在英国长大。大学的时候，石黑一雄念的是University of Kent，后来又转到University of East Anglia，去攻读创意写作的学位。他在1982年出版的《群山淡景》（内地版译作《远山淡影》），获得了英国皇家学会的重要的奖项，因此而在文坛上面崛起。 接下来，他陆续写了几本重要的长篇小说《浮世画家》，然后1989年的《长日将尽》。《长日将尽》不只是替他争取到了英语世界当中长篇小说的最高奖项，那就是“布克奖”，同时改编成为好莱坞的电影。这个小说还有小说的作者，在国际间有了更大的名声。1995年，他出版了《无可抚慰》（内地版译作《无可慰藉》）。2000年，就是出版了今天我们要为大家介绍的这本《When We Were Orphans》，《我辈孤雏》。 这本书的重要的特色，是它表面上采取了一个通俗类型小说的写法。他写的是侦探小说，从一开始这个“I narrator”，第一人称的叙述者“我”，他最重要让我们认识，就是从小他就想要做一个侦探。不过，毕竟这是一个严肃的小说，而不是通俗娱乐的侦探小说，在叙事的铺陈跟展开上面，石黑一雄做了非常非常费心精致的安排。 例如，我们刚认识这个叙述者“我”的时候，我们很快就被带到他在英国寄宿学校的这段经验，他回忆14岁生日的这件往事，往事本身就非常的有趣。他14岁生日的时候，发生了什么事呢？当时他有两个好友，带他到镇上的茶点铺去享用烤饼跟奶油蛋糕，帮他庆生。那是一个下雨的周六的午后，店里面座无虚席，每过一会儿，就会有满身雨水的镇民走进到店里面，四处看一看，然后呢，对这三个小孩，投以不满的眼光，觉得他们应该要把座位让给人家。还好他们认识这个老板娘，老板娘平常就照顾他们，在他生日的这天下午，他们就觉得更有十足的权力，可以占用店里面最好的位置。那位置在哪里呢？就在那个拱窗旁边，窗外还可以看得到小镇的广场。 那天聊什么，大半忘了，不过等东西吃完的时候，要收礼物，他却难以忘记。两个同伴相互使了眼色，然后呢，其中一个把手伸进到背包里，拿出一个包装成礼物的包裹给他。这种就是小男孩的把戏吧，所以，撕开包装，撕开一层还有一层，撕开一层还有一层，每撕一层，两个朋友在旁边就在哈哈大笑。这一切都已经显示了，包裹拆到最后，那应该是一个开玩笑的东西。但是，最后从包裹里冒出来是什么呢？是一个皮革的盒子，然后它上面有一个小小的扣片，打开来，里面放的是一把放大镜。它是一个有象牙镜柄的，然后是1887年，在苏黎世制造的放大镜。 刚刚已经讲到了这个情境。这个朋友是故意要作弄他，所以送了他放大镜。但是收到这个礼物，他非但不以为忤、被他激怒，他的第一个反应就是，欢天喜地。抓起放大镜，把桌上的成堆的包装纸扫到一边，正在兴头上，甚至也没管包装纸有没有掉到地上。他立刻拿这个放大镜，来端详桌布上面的奶油，聚精会神地看。隐约听到两个好朋友捧腹大笑，这个礼物就是要调侃他。等到他抬头，他才有一点点尴尬，他也不好意思的暗停下来。其中的一个同学就说：“我们觉得既然你立志要做侦探，你会需要这种东西。”所以用这种方式，就是告诉我们，他十几岁的时候，他就立志要做一个侦探。 但是接下来，再一件事情，那是六年级的下学期。他记得的是，有一个印象，当他走进到了教室，阳光刚好从狭窄的修道院的窗户泄下，照亮了悬浮在空中的灰尘。老师还没到，不过他比其他同学来的晚，同学已经三五成群坐在书桌、长椅啦、窗台等处。他刚好走近，五六个同学围成一群，他们全部都转过头来看，他才意识到大家都在谈他。他来不及说什么，其中一个同学，就指着他说：“诶，这个人想要当福尔摩斯，可惜他，长得有点太矮了。”有几个同学笑了出来，笑声里面没有什么恶意，但他却记得了。 那这两件事情，就表示大家都知道他立志想要当福尔摩斯，想要当侦探。不过，小说里面另外告诉我们：他想要当侦探，可是他刻意隐瞒，不让别人感觉到他想要当侦探。所以，这两件事情它为什么会让人留下这么深刻的印象？因为他很意外，为什么同学都知道他想要当侦探。显然他藏的不是很好。所以开头让我们用这种方式认识他，但接下来我们也会好奇，好奇是说，那为什么他会想要当侦探呢？ 这本来是好像是一个很轻松的一个“narrator”，他到了在英国念寄宿学校的时候，他就想要当侦探。可是慢慢，一点一点的展开，一点一点的展开，例如说，他又把我们带到了他的一段人生当中，关键重要的场景。那个关键重要的场景是在海上，他要从不知道哪一个遥远的地方要返回英国，所以，有着起航时同行的旅客。他遇到了当时跟他一起回到英国这趟旅程的这个大人，这个大人当年护送他，表示他还年纪还很小的时候，护送他回到英国。然后呢，在这个往事的回忆当中，接下来又有了冲突。这个冲突是，这位当年的上校护送他，一直记得，他在船上心情非常的不好，是一个哭哭啼啼的小孩。所以这个时候，上校很惊讶，他长成了这样的一个成年人，这样的一个青年人了。可是他自己记得的，他没有觉得在船上他这么小，或者是，他要表现出是一个哭个不停的小鬼。 好，这两个中间的差异，又推展开来，又让我们了解了，他为什么想要当侦探，一个非常特别的事情——什么叫“When We Were Orphans”。当年他从哪里回到英国？他从上海回到英国。他原来在上海长大，他的爸爸跟他的妈妈是在上海英国的叫华洋公司里面担任职员，而这个华洋公司是一个很特别的公司，而且这个华洋公司跟他爸爸跟他妈妈之间的关系很复杂，这要到小说的后面才更进一步地展开。 这里面我们开始察觉到不对劲的地方是，这样的一个小孩，为什么会孤伶伶的跟着这个上校，由这个上校护卫底下回到英国，然后进了寄宿学校呢？再进一步我们就发现，因为先是他的爸爸，接下来是他的妈妈，这两个人，对他来讲最亲近的人，先后都在上海失踪了。所以，他突然之间变成了orphans ，没有爸爸，也没有妈妈。在没有爸爸跟妈妈的情况底下，他们就只好决定把他送回到英国来，去投靠他的姑妈。甚至连要从上海回到英国，都是这么样一个危险的旅程，因此才把他交托、交付给这个上校，把他带回英国来。所以更进一步，他为什么想要当侦探，这背后就变成了personal（私人）的关系、personal的原因，因为他想回去找到他的爸爸跟找到他的妈妈。用这种方式建立起这样的一个叙述者“我”的基本的身份。 然后呢，在叙事的进行的过程当中，石黑一雄，也做了特别的规划。这一本小说一共有七章，在这个七章，每一章设定了不一样的时间点跟不一样的地方。快速地看一下这七章的时间跟地点，我们大概就可以猜得到小说用什么方式推展。 第一部刚开始的时候，1930年7月24号，在伦敦。接下来1931年5月15号，伦敦。1937年，4月12号，伦敦。再下来，1937年9月20号，那就是上海华茂饭店。这个后来在英国成功地成为侦探的“I narrator”，他要回到上海，去寻找他的父母。这就是《我辈孤雏》在小说的类型小说上，侦探小说所给予我们那种，特别或者是简单的吸引力，像是一个回去寻父寻母的侦探故事。当然，这个小说要写的不止如此。 注：“杨照书话”系列节目由杨照和方所联合制作。本音频和文字稿由方所剪辑和编写而成，版权所有。若需转载，请注明来源及出处。

What is the best evidence for evolution? MARK from Talk Beliefs talks to researcher Barry Desborough about evidences for evolution, including ERVs (Endongenous Retroviruses) as an excellent proof of common descent. We discuss his ongoing clash with Creationists, and why their arguments are based largely on a misunderstanding of evolution.BARRY DESBOROUGH has studied at Christchurch college, Canterbury (now a part of Kent University, Canterbury, UK.), gaining a Diploma in Education. His childhood in Malaysia in the 1960s, observing the casual racism of colonials, led to research into evolutionary psychology and human nature - what is it about human beings that makes us behave the way we do, good and bad?Barry runs several Facebooks groups on the subject of evolution, and has contributed to Wikipedia.Link to original interview video: http://bit.ly/2HMuyRoLINKS FOR BARRY DESBOROUGH:Creation-Evolution blog: https://goo.gl/XhmtDwThe Rational Manifesto for One World https://goo.gl/Jh8UG3Twitter: @BarryDesboroughERV FAQ: https://goo.gl/fL3G6NOther links related to this interview: https://goo.gl/zAQA4a© Copyright 2017 by Talk Beliefs (Re-use allowed with permission)#evolutionsoup #evolution #paleo #paleontology #paleoartist #Homosapiens #hominid #artwork #Darwin #cave #bone #fossils #Neanderthal #australopithecus #hominin #extinct #animals #science #anthropology #paleoanthropology #genus #species #africa #skull #skulls #naturalselection #lucy #paleontologyEVOLUTION SOUPYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/evolutionsoupFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/evolutionsoup/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/evolutionsoup/Instagram: @evolution_soupRSS feed: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/354743.rssTALK BELIEFSFollow @TalkBeliefs on Twitter!

Each week on "5 Minutes With," Mike White interviews media experts. This week he sits down with Jordun Paster from the American Marketing Association (gojarrett.com). The American Marketing Association focuses on providing marketers around the world with industry updates and also partners with large companies to provide the collegiate chapters a project to complete.Mike White launched Client Focused Media in 2002, the leading integrated marketing firm in Northeast Florida with extensive capabilities and experience providing strategic planning, marketing, creative, advertising, printing, branding, public relations and crisis communications services. He also serves as the Publisher of Jacksonville Buzz Magazine which reaches 150,000 readers each month and is the CEO of Bluhorn Solutions. Because of White’s commitment to provide the broadest range of integrated marketing services possible for CFM’s clients, he also founded an events production company as well as a promotional product company to support CFM’s cutting edge marketing campaigns and to yield measurable results for CFM clients at the most efficient rates.Mike WhiteWelcome back to five minutes with on BluHorn TV, a program where we talk about the changes in marketing advertising and the people who are running agencies as well as in marketing. Today, joining us remotely, we have Jordun Paster who's the president of the American Marketing Association at Kent University. Welcome to the program!Jordun PasterThanks for having me.Mike WhiteSo we've interviewed people at the beginning of their career, the end of their career, right in the middle. So you are at right at the very beginning. You are what year at Kent State?Jordun PasterI am gonna be a senior going into this year.Mike WhiteWhat made you want to go into marketing.Jordun PasterSo I actually started off as a business management major and I took a principles of marketing class and realized how much more fun and hands on marketing is compared to the business management courses. As I progressed through my coursework, I just started to fall in love with it even more.Mike WhiteTell me about your experiences getting involved with the American Marketing Association.Jordun PasterSo one of the former presidents came into one of our classrooms and gave a recruitment speech and I thought, I'm not really a part of any organizations, I don't really have any interest in joining a fraternity. So I was like I might as well just kind of show up to the meeting. I showed up to the meeting realized all the benefits I had to offer kind of got an idea of what was going on during the meetings and how it could help me grow as a professional. And that's kind of how I got into the American Marketing Association. And then from there I just started kind of getting more involved. I got a position as a director of research and did a huge case study for the Wall Street Journal for the American Marketing Association which like a little competition. And then when the former president left I got nominated as president and got it.Mike WhiteSo as you go through and you're seeing different changes happening in real time and marketing, looking ahead five years what do you think the biggest changes that are going to come within the marketing industry.Jordun PasterThat's a good question. So it's kind of a stretch here but if you had to ask me I think it'll be a lot harder for companies to collect data. With all the privacy issues going on so many different controversies. I feel that the rules and regulations for collecting consumer data will be a lot more regulated and a lot harder to obtain.Mike WhiteWhat services would you provide in your own business? Jordun PasterSo I'm actually writing out a business plan. Me and one of my buddies from college are going to focus on smaller companies that aren't really up to date with their websites yet and kind of go in there and create a better or more optimized Web site for them and then teach them how to track data on that Web site and how to make decisions based off that data.Mike WhiteSo once you're in business what's your exit strategy.Jordun PasterSo I'd like to keep it going for as long as I possibly can and continue to help out the community and kind of help businesses out build relationships. I would say my ultimate goal in life is to become a professor at a at a university. After I get my undergrad I'm gonna go get my MBA and then a few years after that once I kind of get more practical experience in marketing I want to get my HD and teach graduate level courses while also running my own business.Mike WhiteWell it sounds like you're very ambitious. Thank you for joining us on the program today.

Charles Darwin is known for 'On the Origin of Species' and for outlining the biological process of evolution, but why do so many see him as not only wrong, but immoral? What exactly is 'social darwinism' and was Darwin really in favor of cleansing the 'unfit' from the world, as the so-called 'survival of the fittest' suggests? BARRY DESBOROUGH returns to Talk Beliefs to give an overview of Darwin's discoveries, outlook, and intentions. Was he a good man... or a monster?Barry Desborough studied at Christchurch college, Canterbury (now a part of Kent University, Canterbury, UK.) and gained a Diploma in Education. His childhood in Malaysia in the 1960s, observing the casual racism of colonials, led to research into evolutionary psychology and human nature.**This interview was originally recorded for Talk Beliefs YouTube channel in 2018 - link to video here: http://bit.ly/2WfHiueLINKS FOR BARRY DESBOROUGH:Twitter: @BarryDesboroughBlog: https://barryhisblog.blogspot.comEvidence for Evolution (Talk Beliefs Interview): http://bit.ly/2HMuyRo© Copyright 2018 by Talk Beliefs (Re-use allowed with permission)#evolutionsoup #evolution #paleo #paleontology #paleoartist #Homosapiens #hominid #artwork #Darwin #cave #bone #fossils #Neanderthal #australopithecus #hominin #extinct #animals #science #anthropology #paleoanthropology #genus #species #africa #skull #skulls #naturalselection #lucy #paleontologyEVOLUTION SOUPYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/c/evolutionsoupFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/evolutionsoup/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/evolutionsoup/Instagram: @evolution_soupRSS feed: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/354743.rssTALK BELIEFSFollow @TalkBeliefs on Twitter!

Have the left’s policies of high immigration and multiculturalism caused the disaffection which has given rise to populism? Or is it the right, with its tabloid scare stories about foreigners eroding national identity?We were joined by Matthew Goodwin, Professor of Politics at Kent University; Daniel Hannan, Conservative MEP for South East England; Elif Shafak, award-winning novelist; and John Simpson, BBC World Affairs Editor, columnist and author.

In episode 60 we’re discussing trainers… hey, for those out there who hate them, we get it, but stay tuned, as we’ll tell you why you shouldn’t completely ignore them. For those who love them, we’re going to tell you why riding outside every once in a while is a really good thing. For those in between, today’s episode will offer a wealth of knowledge on how to get the very most out of trainer time. Now, one thing is certain: The days of staring at the basement wall while riding your clunky, loud trainer are behind us. Today’s smart trainers and online tools allow us to “game-ify” the experience and are making many re-consider how they feel about riding indoors, and importantly, the extent of the training benefits. In this episode, we’ll talk about the science and experience of the trainer, including: How riding on a trainer differs from riding on the road, including the experience, our interaction with the bike, the different inertia generated by the trainer, and its impact on our biomechanics. What impact these differences have on our power and heart rate, and why we shouldn’t use the same numbers inside and outside. We’ll discuss situations where it’s good to use a trainer—and when it may be even better than riding on the road, such as when we’re doing neuromuscular work. Likewise, we’ll talk about situations where you might want to avoid the trainer. You might know already… a five-hour, mind-numbing ride on the trainer is a sign of incredible dedication. Don’t do it again. The game-ification of trainers by tools like Zwift, Trainer Road, and Sufferfest, and how this is changing our perspective on trainers. It can be both good and bad. When to use rollers rather than a trainer. And, finally, we’ll talk about how much time to spend on the trainer, and alternatives even when there’s snow outside. You’re going to get a lot of different opinions in this podcast. None of us will go so far as to call the trainer Satan — though at times we’ll come close — but you will hear a few guests give convincing evidence that the trainer has benefits you can’t get on the road. Ultimately, it’s going to be up to you to decide. Our primary guest today is Ciaran O’Grady who is a new coach and sports scientist at Team Dimension Data. Ciaran is finishing up his Ph.D. at Kent University with Dr. James Hopker, who conducted some of the definitive research on the biomechanical differences between riding on a trainer and the road. In addition, we’ll talk with: Retired multi-time national cyclocross champion Tim Johnson. Having lived in the northeast for most of his life, Tim is very familiar with riding indoors and has a lot of good points to offer from two decades of experience. Trevor also caught up with Jacob Fraser from Zwift and Kevin Poulton who coaches Matt Hayman and Caleb Ewan, and works with Team Katusha. Kevin used Zwift to coach Matt to his 2016 Paris-Roubaix win and since then has integrated significant trainer time into his athletes’ race preparation. And with that, get your fan ready, dial in your Zwift avatar — make sure you enter your weight correctly in Zwift now, no cheating. Let’s make you fast!

In episode 60 we're discussing trainers. For those who hate them, we get it, but stay tuned, as we’ll tell you why you shouldn’t completely ignore them. For those who love them, we’re going to tell you why riding outside every once in a while is a really good thing. For those in between, today’s episode will offer a wealth of knowledge on how to get the very most out of trainer time. Now, one thing is certain: The days of staring at the basement wall while riding your clunky, loud trainer are behind us. Today’s smart trainers and online tools allow us to "game-ify" the experience and are making many re-consider how they feel about riding indoors, and importantly, the extent of the training benefits. In this episode, we'll talk about the science and experience of the trainer, including: (1) How riding on a trainer differs from riding on the road, including the experience, our interaction with the bike, the different inertia generated by the trainer, and its impact on our biomechanics. (2) What impact these differences have on our power and heart rate, and why we shouldn't use the same numbers inside and outside. (3) We’ll discuss situations where it’s good to use a trainer—and when it may be even better than riding on the road, such as when we’re doing neuromuscular work. (4) Likewise, we’ll talk about situations where you might want to avoid the trainer. You might know already… a five-hour, mind-numbing ride on the trainer is a sign of incredible dedication. Don't do it again. (5) The game-ification of trainers by tools like Zwift, Trainer Road, and Sufferfest, and how this is changing our perspective on trainers. It can be both good and bad. When to use rollers rather than a trainer. (6) And, finally, we'll talk about how much time to spend on the trainer, and alternatives even when there's snow outside.

Conservative MPs Simon Hart and Andrew Percy join Christopher Hope to bust some Brexit myths on this week’s podcast. First up: the idea that the UK’s relationship with the EU is fixed after Brexit day. In their view, Brexit "is a process and not an event” -- and their Brexit Delivery Group of Tory MPs plays a role in that process. Also on the podcast: Professor Matthew Goodwin from Kent University on public opinion on Brexit, and Telegraph columnist Juliet Samuel takes a deep breath and sums up everything that’s gone wrong with the divorce negotiations so far.

Officially, it’s armed conflict. But is it time for an update? Has the end goal changed? And, who gets to decide? There's a lot of rhetoric today about whether or not we are in, or on the brink of, some kind of new global war.  While this may feel unprecedented for many in the West, conflict is still commonplace in many parts of the world. But what exactly IS a state of war? Has it changed? And what does it feel like to experience being in a war? We explore these questions and more in this episode We start off with a panel discussion hosted by Allie Elwell, with Marissa Diaz, and Col. Mario Diaz, US Army; Alice Musabende, Cambridge University & Dr. Daniel Fiott, European Institute for Security Studies as well as a lecturer at BSIS .

According to the Motorcycle Council of NSW, Inc in Australia, the symptoms of fatigue for drivers of enclosed vehicles may differ from a fatigued motorcyclist. It’s important to recognize these signs. *Driver Fatigue Symptoms include: •loss of concentration •drowsiness, yawning •slow reactions •sore or tired eyes •boredom •feeling irritable and restless •making fewer and larger steering corrections •missing road signs •having difficulty in staying in the lane •having microsleeps. *The symptoms of rider fatigue include: •joint and muscle stiffness •pain or weakness in hands and feet •loss of concentration •slow or impaired judgment and reactions. *Excerpts taken from http://roadsafety.mccofnsw.org.au/a/50.html And the scary thing is that although a rider may feel fully awake, they may actually be fatigued without realizing it, and make a judgement error, resulting in crashing on a curve or an accident while overtaking another vehicle. Because riding a motorcycle is different than riding a car, in that it is more demanding both mentally and physically, it’s likely you’ll be tired from the physical challenges rather than boredom. So how to beat this? Who better to ask than four people who ride motorcycles and have experience in dealing with fatigue: a scientist, a pillion, a racer and a long distance rider. Guests on this episode: Sam Marcora A Director of Research at Kent University and a motorcyclist, in 2013 Sam Marcora studied fatigue in motorbike riders on a 3 month ride from London to Beijing and through Central Asia and Tibet. www.kent.ac.uk/sportsciences/staff/academic/s-marcora.html Christophe Barriere Varju An endurance rider and a Motocross Champion, Christophe Barrier Varju has ridden in the Dakar Rally several times, the toughest and most dangerous motorsport race in the world.

Episode 2.This episode follows on from the first as that recording was interrupted by the rehearsal of the rehearsal of the Canterbury Shakespeare Festival production of Othello. At the time the actors were chanting the lord’s prayer which inspired me to ask their director for an interview.Tom Houlton agreed to the interview and went on to speak about his beginning’s as a young actor and then his new found passion as a director at Kent University. He spoke of being inspired by Thomas Ostermeier and Mike Alfreds with the later having particular influence with his philosophy on the importance of the actor. Tom believes that each actor must bring his own character to the performance and employees different techniques to make each performance a performance in its own right.I really enjoyed this interview, because other than being an audience member of a few theatre performances I had no previous knowledge of acting or directing. It gave me a chance to explore something that would not normally be a point of interest for me.I hope it does for you too.This podcast is accompanied by my blog Canterbury Shakespeare FestivalPlease like, comment, subscribe and share on: twitteryoutube instagram WordPress Facebook Podbean

Carl Reese - Endurance Rider & Record Setter You’ve probably heard of the Cannonball Baker or Cannonball Run. In 1933 Erwin George “Cannon Ball” Baker drove from New York City to Los Angeles in a Graham-Paige model 57 Blue Streak 8 in 53.5 hours. No one broke that record for 40 years. Car and Driver writer Brock Yates and editor Steve Smith organized the Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, which took place 5 times between 1971 and 1979. It was an illegal road race from coast to coast to celebrate the United States Interstate Highway System and to protest strict traffic laws which were coming in to effect at that time. The first run was not a competitive race, as there was only one team running in a 1971 Dodge Custom Sportsman van. But by the time they were running the last race it was known as a wild race. They ran everything from Ferraris to pick-up trucks. It was mostly a secret event, with few witnesses. As more and more people have tried to rush to break Cannonball Baker’s time, the route has become established and is commonly referred to as the Cannonball Baker or Cannonball Run. Carl Reese is a contractor from California, and in his spare time he’s an endurance rider that has set seven world records in less than a year. One being the solo motorcycle “Cannonball” from Los Angeles to New York.  Carl Reese set out to break the motorcycle record previously set by George Egloff in 1983, who completed the cross country run in 42 hours. Carl broke the record completing the run in 38 hours and 49 minutes. He’s now working on a documentary that highlights the history of transcontinental driving records. www.carlreese.net   Best Tips for Extended Motorcycle Travel from the Experts   We’ve consulted with some skilled and knowledgeable riders, one being a Professor at Kent University who has studied rider fatigue on what advice they would have for the average rider who wants to do some extended riding on their motorcycle.

I was first introduced to archaeology as a kid and up on the movie screen was a whip carrying, fedora wearing relic hunter. When Indiana Jones wasn't fighting Nazis or running for his life he was on a quest to gather ancient artifacts. Today on the Medieval Archives Podcast we are going to examine real life archaeology, not the fictional portrayal. Since the discovery of Richard III in the Leicester car park there have been numerous other medieval archaeology discoveries. Medieval knights, dungeons, Black Death skeletons and so much more!

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Lindisfarne Gospels. In 597 Pope Gregory the Great ordered that a mission of monks be sent from Rome to convert Britain to its own brand of Christianity - lest it be submerged by the pagan beliefs of the Anglo-Saxon overlords. Just over 100 years later, the Lindisfarne Gospels were produced - lavish and ornate manuscripts, central to the story of how Britain came to be unified by the flag of the Roman Church – and they came to embody a set of beliefs and ideas that dominated Britain for a thousand years. Was the Rome mission in the 6th century the only strand of Christianity to sweep through Britain? Why did Northumbria become a key battleground for ideological dispute? How successful were the Lindisfarne Gospels in unifying the different strands of Christianity? To what extent did they serve as a founding statement of Christian identity in Britain?With Dr Michelle Brown, Curator of Illuminated Manuscripts at the British Library and author of A Guide to Western Historical Scripts: From Antiquity to 1600; Dr Richard Gameson, Reader in Medieval History at Kent University and editor of St Augustine and the Conversion of England; Professor Clare Lees, Professor of Medieval Literature at King's College London and author of Tradition and Belief: Religious Writing in Late Anglo-Saxon England.
