Podcast appearances and mentions of king canute

December Tynwald is shaping up to be a slightly less verbose affair than its November neighbour with just three main government motions on the Order Paper but one or two meaty motions tabled by back benchers. In one of those Stu Peters stands like King Canute against the Net Zero tide. Stu explains why on Perspective. New DoI Minister Michelle Haywood tells us about her Department plan and we also hear from Douglas Central MHK Ann Corlett. She doesn't say a lot in Keys and Tynwald but she subscribes to the view that actions speak louder than words. Some pre Christmas crackers on this week's show.

Has Volkswagen been guilty of doing a King Canute? Our Opinionated Marketers explain the story and discuss why VW are closing three factories in Germany.

We welcome back friend of the show Joseph Pearce to discuss another article from his series in Crisis Magazine on the Unsung Heroes of Christendom.

In the absence of interesting data, markets focus on less important things, like politics. France has a political debate between current Prime Minister Attal, Rassemblement National president Bardella, and Nouveau Front Populaire leader Bompard. Presumably they will promise voters everything that they desire, without explaining how it will be paid for. Some plans are estimated to cost two Trusses (4% of GDP of unfunded commitments). The reality of government is likely to moderate such plans.

Professor Alice Roberts, best known as the presenter of Digging for Britain, picks the wife of two English kings and the mother of two English kings. Queen Emma was born in Normandy and came to England as a diplomatic peaceweaver when she married Aethelred in 1002. Somehow she survived the invasion of the Danes under Swein Forkbeard and married his son, King Canute after Aethelred's death. Together with help from Professor Janina Ramirez - author of Femina - and Patricia Bracewell who has written a trilogy of historical novels based on Emma's life, Alice pieces together an extraordinary life, the richest woman in England, aunt of William the Conqueror, mother of Edward the Confessor.Alice Roberts is Professor of Public Engagement in Science at Birmingham University and the author of Crypt: Life, Death and Disease in the Middle Ages and Beyond Programme also includes recorded audio of Professor Pauline Stafford, author of Gendering the Middle AgesThe producer in Bristol is Miles Warde

Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined by Horrible Histories alum Ben Willbond, ancient DNA experts Prof Turi King and Dr Tom Booth and Nobel prize winner Sir Paul Nurse, as they uncover some of the incredible revelations being revealed through study of ancient DNA. The discovery of the skeleton of Richard III under a Leicester car park made headlines around the world.Turi King talks about her involvement in identifying the regal remains using DNA extracted from his teeth and how she was able to prove that these ancient bones really did belong to King Richard. The panel also hear about a mysterious box of bones found in Winchester Cathedral purporting to date from the 8th and 9th century that could belong to some of our ancient Anglo Saxon kings and queens of England, including those of King Canute and his wife Queen Emma. Could the study of ancient DNA change our understanding of history, and perhaps even upset the line of succession? New episodes are released on Saturdays.

To boost New Zealand's ability to fight inflation Auckland University's Tim Hazledine suggests broadening the Commerce Commission's powers, looking at extending the Pharmac concept, and cutting Goods & Services Tax (GST) to 10%.Hazledine, Emeritus Professor of Economics at the University of Auckland, discusses this and more in the latest episode of interest.co.nz's Of Interest podcast.Following Thursday's Consumers Price Index (CPI) release from Statistics NZ, Hazledine's assessment is the inflation tide is going out."It's receding, which is good. The question is whether it would've gone out anyway or whether King Canute in the Reserve Bank had anything to do with it," says Hazledine.His key evidence for improvement is the 1.2% March quarter CPI figure, down from 1.8% in the March quarter last year."That's the indicator that you really should be interested in and that's encouraging."Nonetheless Hazledine says there are signs a recession is going to happen, and suggests we ought to be looking at policy instruments to support the Reserve Bank, which has "a monopoly on inflation fighting almost by statute."This includes expanding the Commerce Commission's mandate so it becomes a price watch commission, potentially even with a mandate to roll back price increases if they think they're not justified."They really have to be finding out about prices everywhere and investigating costs, investigating pricing practices," says Hazledine.He also promotes the concept of tripartite pay talks, seen in parts of Europe, between the Government, unions and employer groups, exploring an extension of the Pharmac model to source other products and services at lower prices from international suppliers, and reducing GST to 10% from 15%."That [a GST cut] would immediately cut consumer prices...The biggest single beneficiary from inflation in New Zealand is the Government."You can find all episodes of the Of Interest podcast here.

The tidal wave of AI art and AI generated text is upon us. What should writers and artists do about it? Author Julia Golding talks to Pete Williamson, an illustrator, to work out what is fair to creatives. Is there any way this can be stopped before it sweeps creatives away, or would that be like King Canute trying to stop the tide? If it is here to stay, what should the creatives be asking for in the way of copyright protection? In this two-part conversation we look at the pros and cons of these new capabilities. The first half is devoted to what human artists and writers do in the creative space, as well as the emergence of AI images and fair usage of them. The second part turns our attention to AI generated prose and poetry. Julia and Pete also consider the best place in all of fantasy in which to be an illustrator.

Ep. 30 gives you a “watchers guide” to Viking dramas available for streaming starting with VIKINGS: VALHALLA now in its second season on Netflix. Alex Chisnall, host of the popular business podcast Screw It Just Do It, is our guest and guide. We met Alex via the Clubhouse social media app where he gave podcasters like us the incentive, courage, and a road map to just do it and launch Historical Drama with The Boston Sisters. Alex, who is close to Viking history in the UK and shares our enthusiasm for history, got us curious about VIKINGS: VALHALLA, and other Viking-themed dramas (see below) currently available on streaming services. Alex Chisnall started his audio career with BBC Radio in the 1990s before deciding to travel the world working for Virgin Atlantic Airlines. He founded his podcast agency, Podpreneur, after the success of his own podcast literally changed his life. Alex Chisnall's podcast Screw It Just Do It is a #1 rated business show downloaded in over 180+ countries from the UK to Uganda. (Recorded 2/20/23) EP. 30 TRANSCRIPT Set over a thousand years ago in the early 11th century, VIKINGS: VALHALLA chronicles the exploits of some of the most famous Vikings from history — the legendary explorer Leif Eriksson (Sam Corlett), his courageous warrior sister Freydis Eriksdotter (Frida Gustavsson), and the ambitious Nordic prince Harald Sigurdsson (Leo Suter). Season Two begins after the tragic fall of Kattegat; an event that has shattered the main characters' dreams and altered their destinies. Finding themselves suddenly fugitives in Scandinavia Leif , Harald, and Freydis are forced to test their ambitions and courage in worlds beyond the fjords of Kattegat. VIKINGS: VALHALLA is a sequel to the HIstory Channel's VIKINGS series helmed by Michael Hirst.

Jess Harrold is joined by residential reporter Akanksha Soni and senior writer Piers Wehner for the latest weekly round-up podcast. Soni tackles Inland Homes' hunt for a BTR investment partner for three schemes with a total value north of £800m, and news of an innovative museum/PBSA hook-up. Wehner covers the beleaguered state of Home REIT, and wider advice to REITs in general that calls for a history lesson on King Canute and his tidal legacy. But who has a skate park tale of woe to share? And who will triumph in a hotly contested quiz of the week?

The debate rages on! Should we all get back to the office or have we just kissed the 9-5 Monday to Friday work week goodbye? While some of the world's business leaders (who should know better) are doing their very best impression of King Canute, trying to turn back the tide and command a sea of young workers to adopt a prairie dog existence in open plan offices, the world is changing. Change is tough but fortunately, we've got experts, we've got science and we've got technology. So what's the problem? In this show, behavioral psychologist and author of dozens of books Dr. Gleb Tsipursky - who advises blue chip corporations on how to transition to flexi and blended working, delivers a brilliant how-to for creative agencies. In this show we discuss what countries responded to the pandemic correctly - and which didn't. We look at how to balance public health against economic demands; who to trust when we need to know; status quo bias, Elon Musk's flip-flop, the huge HR and financial benefits of remote work in one single move; how creative agencies are solving the problem; how the US's biggest employer is setting the standard; how AI can help with the solution, who pays for it all and we address the 600lb Gorilla in the room of mental health and discuss solutions to help companies help their staff. We also discover the best days for office work and the extended weekend. Plus!

A version of this essay was published by thepamphlet.in at https://www.thepamphlet.in/en/shadow-warrior-a-deplorable-supreme-court-decision-on-demonetization/The Supreme Court, in a 4:1 judgment, held that the 2016 Demonetization was acceptable. The dissenting judge, well, dissented, saying that it was flawed. This decision sets an awful precedent that will come back to haunt us all, and the judiciary is respectful of precedent. The law of unintended consequences will strike.It is not that demonetization per se was a bad idea, or that it was executed poorly, or that its goals were not met. It was a pretty good idea, it was executed moderately well, and the declared goals, to reduce corruption, terror funding through counterfeit notes, and to increase the proportion of ‘white' money in circulation, were met to an extent. No, the problem is twofold: one, an unprecedented and unwarranted level of judicial overreach and encroachment into the domain of the Executive; two, the common sense principle of fait accompli: this is a done deal, and it is essentially impossible to undo it. The point is that the judiciary has its role, which is in hair-splitting legal jargon and in particular the verbiage of the Constitution. With all due respect, judges are not trained in other disciplines, and would be hard-pressed to understand economics, or engineering, or medicine, or military affairs. They simply will not be able to make judicious decisions (to give them credit, the majority opinion did concede this). But then, they should not take up such cases in the first place. I can imagine motivated petitioners waiting in the wings to now ask the Supreme Court to undo the 1971 Bangladesh War, the decision to impose covid-related mandates, or the Mangalyaan space probe. In fact, you could find somebody to make a cogent argument that the Constitution should not have been accepted in 1950, and that it should be rolled back. There is no end to such litigation, and if it is allowed to proliferate, it would clog up the entire judiciary. Of course, the entire judiciary is already clogged up with 30 million cases, so why open the flood-gates and invite more frivolous litigation?As for the law of unintended consequences, there is the recent experience of the Democrats in the US. After years of claiming ex-President Trump's tax returns would reveal deep, dark secrets, they forced him to reveal them: and it was a damp squib, with nothing of significance, no tax evasion. But the precedent has been set, and the Republicans will now use this to harass every Democrat alleging skeletons in their tax closets. The Indian Supreme Court should stick to its fundamental task: interpreting the Constitution. Not being a lawyer, I cannot say authoritatively that there is no constitutional issue in the anti-demonetization lawsuit, but I doubt it. It is a purely administrative issue, and thus the domain of the Executive, just as making a multitude of daily decisions is. The activist Indian courts have long been accused of interfering in everything while at the same time creating cozy little fiefdoms for themselves, for instance in the continuous creation of post-retirement sinecures for judges, the most recent being the demand that retired judges should be on the committee choosing the Chief Election Commissioner.The most obvious example of bad faith is the judiciary's closed and opaque Collegium system, wherein they nominate and appoint themselves, with the predictable result of nepotism and hereditary elites. It is high time that Parliament put a stop to this, and created new laws that mandate a role for the Executive. The proposed NJAC could be one way forward. If the NJAC is unconstitutional, well then, bring in a constitutional amendment. Many people have talked about judicial reforms; I too took a stab at it a few years ago (“Can we fix the deeply troubled judiciary?” Swarajya, May 2018). One of my points was the radical restructuring of the system into a Supreme Court that only hears constitutional cases, and a new set of regional Courts of Appeal, with status almost equivalent to the Supreme Court, that hear other things beyond the ken of state High Courts. There is a serious concern about which cases the Supreme Court chooses to hear. At the moment, it appears whimsical. Why on earth would the SC hear cases about cricket, which is a mere entertainment? Why on earth would the SC not hear petitions about the 1990s ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Hindus (it has refused to do so three times already).The terror onslaught in Jammu and Kashmir is not history. We saw with horror the terrorist attack on Hindus in Jammu's Rajouri just days ago, where the attackers reportedly identified Hindus by their Aadhar cards, and then shot them. This is an urgent, ongoing problem, and why does the court refuse to hear it, while at the same time accepting a case on the 1948 assassination of Mahatma Gandhi? Next, someone will file a PIL demanding the undoing of that assassination.Why does the SC accept PILs (Public Interest Litigations) put up by motivated NGOs, often with foreign funding? These people are able to get, through the back door, rapid decisions that affect the entire country, whereas the cases should properly be heard at the local level in District Courts, and only be elevated to the Supreme Court through a proper process if they actually have merit.Apart from this, some actions are virtually impossible to undo: time and tide wait for no man. How could the SC, like King Canute who ordered the waves to retreat, even possibly consider the undoing of demonetization? How will it be done? What about the major moves in digitization that resulted, the UPI revolution, the trillions of rupees flowing through a payment system that is now ubiquitous and available to anyone with a mobile phone?India has now become one of the most digitally connected countries in the world, but the amount of cash in the system is now even greater than at the time of demonetization. Can the court explain why? So it is not as though cash suddenly disappeared. Yes, there was a temporary crunch, and yes, it was hardship for many, but on average, most people have recovered.Malign NGOs have continually opposed national interests: remember Sterlite? Or the Sardar Sarovar dam? By accepting a plea that was clearly inappropriate, probably politically motivated, and in any case something that would be virtually impossible to undo, the Supreme Court has set a poor precedent. The Indian judiciary acts as a law unto itself, unaccountable to anybody else. This is wrong. As the President and the Vice President mentioned recently, it is time the judiciary reformed itself. I suspect it will have to be done forcibly, not voluntarily.1090 words, 3 Jan 2023 This is a public episode.

Welcome Back! When our last episode ended, it was 1086, and King Canute IV was in a church, surrounded by angry aristocrats and their armies. Unfortunately, King Canute does not make it out of the church alive. After he offers his final confession and receives Holy Communion, King Canute the Saint dies when a spear is thrown through a window and kills him. King Canute is buried in the church where he died, and he was canonized at the turn of the century by Pope Paschal II. We knew going in that this would be a very short season, and with this episode, we wrap it all up. Before closing, however, our hosts all share their opinions on Canute's designation as a holy donor. Is King Canute the Saint a holy donor? Yes, he is. Each of our hosts conclude that he is a holy donor, and they share their reasons for this decision based on the metrics of faithfulness, humility, and radical generosity. Join us to hear the details of their conclusion and learn why Andrew, Matt, Thaddeaus, and Rhen agree that the story of King Canute the Saint is a great story just waiting to be told. Side note: This final episode also includes some fun with our friends Mike and Alexandra Foley, hosts of the Drinking With the Saints podcast. Knowing what they do about King Canute the Saint, Mike and Alexandra suggest a drink called the Great Dane (the country, not the dog!) would make a great pairing for anyone who is interested in a cocktail while learning about King Canute the Saint. ---Holy Donors is brought to you by Petrus Development (petrusdevelopment.com) in cooperation with RED-C Catholic Radio (redcradio.org).For more about Holy Donors please visit our website at holydonors.com or find us @HolyDonors on Instagram and Facebook.Holy Donors: Bringing you inspiring stories of radical generosity that have changed the world.

We are excited to introduce our new season of Holy Donors featuring King Canute the Saint. This season is different from our others in that it's a shorter season, and it takes us much, much further back in time (over 1000 years ago!) to the time of the Vikings. Canute was born in Denmark in 1042 to Sweyn II, King of Denmark and father to more than 20 children, 5 of which followed him as king. Sweyn II died in 1076, and although it is rumored that Canute was his favorite child, Canute's brother Harald, at the pleasure of the country's aristocrats, was the first to take the throne. Canute became King of Denmark in 1080, and he was known as King Canute the Saint. Canute was married to Adele of Flanders and, together, they had three children.As king, Canute was a bold and faithful leader. He did whatever he thought was right, even if he upset Denmark's elite. He was a devout and disciplined Catholic, faithful to his wife (unlike his father!) and eager to spread the Gospel. He, in part, used his role as leader to build churches and support missionaries, using taxes paid by the aristocracy. Upset with Canute's actions as King of Denmark, the aristocrats rebel, and they and their armies trap Canute, his brother, and a small number of loyal soldiers in St. Alban's in Odense. They plan to kill Canute and take control of the country. Will King Canute survive? Join us next time to find out!---Holy Donors is brought to you by Petrus Development (petrusdevelopment.com) in cooperation with RED-C Catholic Radio (redcradio.org).For more about Holy Donors please visit our website at holydonors.com or find us @HolyDonors on Instagram and Facebook.Holy Donors: Bringing you inspiring stories of radical generosity that have changed the world.

A reader of this history, encountering the frequent references to “my author,” meaning the current source, will be reminded of Don Quixote and of The Morte D'Arthur, for Milton employs a style that might be called dissertational rather than novelistic; he carefully identifies his sources and often quotes from them. However, much of the scholarly documentation has been omitted from the reading—all except footnotes indicating the years—to avoid cumbersome interruptions.What will be obvious to a listener, though, is that Milton uses earlier chronicles with discretion. He doubts the very existence of Arthur and proposes an ingenious explanation of the origin of his supposed father's name, Uther. When obliged to cite George Buchanan, the world-renowned neo-Latin author and tutor (later detractor) of Mary Queen of Scots, he regularly uses more than a grain of salt, in view of that scholar's Scottish bias.And as he carefully weighs the reliability of his sources, so he offers his candid opinion of the wisdom and integrity of historical figures. He sneers at the story of King Canute's famously commanding the rising tide of waves to retire, but not for the reason one might suppose. Boadicea gets low marks, Alfred high ones—but not without some reservations. And in a long digression comparing the government of Britain, newly freed from Roman domination, to the British republic under Cromwell (for which, as Secretary of the Foreign Tongues, Milton was the voice), his criticism is so frank and savage that the passage had to be suppressed during his lifetime. Such personal opinions are what make this book entertaining and useful for the serious study of the author's thought and personality.The endearingly affectionate life of the author, written by his elder nephew, Edward Philips, offers much first-hand information although its facts are not always accurate and its coverage spotty. One learns nothing, for example, about Milton's visit to the home of Galileo, but Philips's discussion of the role his cousins played in their father's scholarly pursuits is detailed and affords no basis to the myth that he ever dictated his poetry to his daughters.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Christmas, as my 6 year old never tires of reminding me, is coming. Never mind that technically it's a month away and forget the efforts I make, Scrooge-like, not to allow any trace of the season to cross our threshold until at least 1st December. She excitedly points out that everywhere — the TV and online adverts, the shop decorations, even some of our early bird neighbours with their flashing light displays — everywhere the signals are unmistakable. ‘It's nearly here!'Which prompts her to write lists, long and getting longer, of gift ideas in case Santa is short of the relevant information about this year's must-have items without which a six-year old's world can never be complete. I feel like King Canute, water lapping around my ankles as I desperately try to stem the tide, inevitability fast approaching on my horizon.In a desperate attempt to distract myself from these seasonal waves I began thinking about the kind of list I might put together for a would-be innovating organization. Assuming there was an innovation equivalent of the old gentleman at the North Pole what might he be working on with his elves right now? What are his stock-pickers pulling off the warehouse shelves and loading up on the sleigh? What might be on the must-have list for an innovation Christmas?So here's the result. If you're looking for inspiration for your seasonal innovation shopping here's a few ideas that might help. (And if you believe in an Innovation Santa they might be useful items to add to the ‘what I'd really like' list you're about to send up the chimney)(You can find a transcript here)If you'd like to explore more innovation stories, or access a wide range of resources to help work with innovation, then please visit my website here.You can find a rich variety of cases, tools, videos, activities and other resources - as well as my innovation blog.Or subscribe to my YouTube channel here

For centuries the Kingdom of England faced northeast, across the northern seas towards Scandinavia. Indeed, under King Canute, England was part of Scandinavia. But with the Norman invasion–even though the Normans were eponymously “North-men”–that changed dramatically. Within a few decades, the French and English royal trees began to intertwine, to graft branches to one another, to make love and war, sometimes at one and the same time.  Catherine Hanley's new book Two Houses, Two Kingdoms: A History of France and England, 1100-1300 with these words: This is a book about people. In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the personal could influence the political to a great extent, and nowhere is this better exemplified than in the relationship between the ruling houses of France and England, whose members waged war, made peace and intermarried – sometimes almost simultaneously – in a complex web of relationships. These people, these kings and queens, siblings, children and cousins, held positions determined by birth; positions that often involved playing a role on the national and international stage from a very young age. Their life stories, their formative experiences and their interpersonal relationships shaped the context of decisions and actions that had the potential to affect the lives and livelihoods of millions.  Catherine Hanley was last on the podcast in Episode 122, discussing the Empress Matilda, the subject of her previous book Matilda: Empress, Queen, and Warrior. She was born in Australia, lives in Somerset in the west of England, and when watching cricket supports “Somerset, Australia, and Tasmania—in that order.” For Further Investigation Two books by Catherine who are set within the period she chronicles in Two Houses, Two Kingdoms, are the aforementioned Matilda: Empress, Queen, and Warrior and Louis: The French Prince Who Invaded England, For just a taste of what comes after the end of Catherine's book, that whole "Hundred Years War" business, you might listen to Episode 66: A People's History of the Hundred Years War An introduction to medieval France, from the Metropolitan Museum Medieval English timeline at the British Library The Magna Carta Project, which Catherines says "has some good stuff about the early thirteenth century, King John, and Louis's invasion" Relevant primary sources for England and for France at the invaluable Internet Sourcebook

Heading back to London (spoilers!) cos after 18 days non-stop, eczema on sunburn and fatigue hit me like a truck. Disappointing cos I have only 16 miles to finish the Jurassic Jaunt bar a 5 mile stretch past Kimmeridge. So close but unlike King Canute (the name of the last piece I did in Lyme Regis) it is time to realise the tide is turning.. And the weather will be changing for the worst in a few days. Sad but time to head back. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jaunt/message

”In the UK, we're totally obsessed with home and property ownership, we'll, that's my personal perspective. If someone buys a house next to a river, or on the coast, and experiences increasing levels of floods or erosion of that coast, devaluing or even threatening the existence of their property. Is it ever fair to blame others for their situation, or even expect the system to support them, by implementing flood and erosion mitigation measures, or even support them financially, so their investment value is sustained? Is this really a reflection though that many of the systems of the ‘civilized' world are unsustainable, and an example of how the nomadic cultures are more adaptable to the ever changing natural world? It feels like the civilized world is literally behaving like King Canute, trying to hold back the tide, but I realise the nomadic cultures have their own issues too." Stuart and William delve into, investigate, explore and conversate around this question above, which was sent in by listener Ivan in Grindleford, Derbyshire, England.

King Canute the King of Denmark, Norway and England built up an Empire of the North Sea. He also put a lot of money back into rebuilding churches and monasteries. Why did he attempt to turn back the sea? 

HSJ revealed NHS England has written to all trusts and integrated care systems this week telling them to stop ambulance handover delays “immediately” after serious patient safety concerns. This is far easier said than done and we discuss the reaction to the letter and more on what is fuelling some of the worst ambulance pressures ever experienced by the health service. Also the outcome of the spending review and which bits of the NHS have got lucky, and which have missed out.

Hour 1 * Guest: Lowell Nelson – CampaignForLiberty.org – RonPaulInstitute.org. * Equality in Slavery – Last month, the Senate Armed Services Committee approved an NDAA provision that includes a requirement that women register with Selective Service on their 18th birthday, just as the young men are required to do. If this bill becomes law with this provision included, and a military draft is reinstated, women will be forced to join the military, and America will have equality in slavery. * How can we support military conscription while professing a belief that men are endowed with unalienable rights to life, liberty, and property?! * Do not register women with the Selective Service! And eliminate this requirement for men. * The Totalitarian Ideology of Lockdownism – Jeffrey Tucker. * Lockdowns, Masks and The Illusion of Control – Brian McGlinchey. Have you ever heard of King Canute? He was the King of England in the early part of the 11th Century. * There Are Serpents Among Us – Allan Stevo. – “There is a way out of this. It begins in your life. It begins in your home. It begins on your land. It begins in your family. It begins with you. “Separate yourself from all that demoralizes you. Unite yourself with all that moralizes. Be emboldened. Seek wisdom. Make the goal of your life to live each moment more upright, more diligent than the last. You are promised nothing but this moment.” * Personal Defense against the Clot Shot – Lowell Nelson. Hour 2 * Guest: Dr. Scott Bradley – To Preserve The Nation – FreedomsRisingSun.com. * Forest Service in “crisis mode” – Friday, the U.S. Forest Service told the AP it currently operates in “crisis mode,” with 21,000 federal firefighters working to contain fires across the region, roughly double the number who fought fires this same time a year ago. The agency says roughly 100 large fires burn across 14 states right now, and western Canada faces similar struggles. * According to the Forest Service, the Dixie Fire in Northern California, which began a month ago, has already burned an area larger than 800 square miles. It's just 31% contained. * Shame: Biden Remains Silent as Taliban Swarms Kabul. * Taliban Enters Presidential Palace, Declares Victory as Afghan President Flees – TheEpochTimes.com. * America's chaotic exit is Biden's big defeat – USA Today * Book: Decent Interval: An Insider's Account of Saigon's Indecent End Told by the CIA's Chief Strategy Analyst in Vietnam – Frank Snepp. * Loyola University in Chicago has more than 17,000 students. Despite its original Catholic heritage that holds to the sanctity of human life, this school trashed their students' religious convictions. If they did not get the shots by August 6, they would be disenrolled and not even permitted on campus. * Loyola students objected based on the fetal cell line/abortion connection since each of the three injections (Pfizer, Moderna, J&J) were either produced or tested with aborted fetal cell lines, and J&J also has aborted fetal cell lines in the deployed shots. Being complicit directly or indirectly with abortion for these students is sinning against God. * Look out for HR4980: To direct the Secretary of Homeland Security to ensure that any individual traveling on a flight that departs from or arrives to an airport inside the United States or a territory of the United States is fully vaccinated against COVID-19, and for other purposes. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

Barnaby goes full Suetonius in this episode and talks a lot about the terrible things Caligula did. But maybe there was another reason? Maybe there was a cynical joke in there? Also hear how Amelia likens Caligula to Henry VIII, King Canute, and Dr Frasier Crane.

Sophie (age 7) and Ellie (age 5) tell the history of how the Vikings built kingdoms, explored continents and worshipped their Norse gods. ----more---- In our first episode on the Vikings they had invaded England and England was now divided between a Saxon and a Viking Kingdom. Here we see how the Vikings repeatedly invade France. Eventually, the French give the Viking, Rollo, land to keep Paris safe from other Vikings. The land is called the land of the Northman, or Northmandy, eventually just Normandy. Other Vikings sail to the Mediterannean Sea. They are paid by the nobles of Italy to fight their wars. When the nobles can’t pay they give the Vikings land instead. Eventually the Vikings own so much land and so many castles that they just take over the whole country and make a Viking Kingdom. Other Vikings explore the Russian rivers. They get to a hill called Kiev which they think is a good place for a city. They capture it and build an empire which today we called Kievan Rus. Some Vikings even made it as far as the powerful city of Byzantium. There they become the bodyguards to the Emperor of Byzantium. They are called the Varangian Guard and were loyal to the Emperor. However, other Vikings look West. They take their ships across the sea to Greenland and make a settlement. One day a ship is blown off course thousands of miles and accidentally discovered North America. Other sailors follow until settlements are founded in what the Vikings called Vinland, which is in North America. The settlements do not survive though so when Columbus eventually makes it there, he if the first European to make permanent settlements. We also learn about the Norse gods. We learn of Odin, Frigg and Thor. We also learn how Friday is named after Frigg and Thursday is named after Thor. Finally we return to England. At first the Saxons defeat the Vikings and reconquer their lands. However, the powerful Viking, King Canute, decides to conquer England. The English kings are useless or unready as they were called. Canute becomes King. We tell his story of how he showed that Kings do not have the power by failing to turn back the tide. The Saxons become King again. However, William of Normandy attacked the English at Hastings and makes himself King. Although history records him as a Frenchman. He was actually descended from the Vikings who were given Normandy to live in. PATRONS’ CLUB If you liked this episode you might to join our Patrons’ Club.

It was 7 years ago today that something truly remarkable took place in a place called Bunkerville, Nevada. I was there and will share some thoughts on what was going on that day and what we can learn from what has transpired since then. Over the weekend, my home state's mask mandate was finally lifted. It's surprising and more than a little disturbing how many people are upset that there's no official mandate telling them what to do. This attitude is also seen at the highest levels of our national government. Jon Sanders says Biden and the lockdown state governors need to apply a bit of King Canute thinking to what they're advocating. Some humility wouldn't hurt either. BTW, if you're looking for a great example of how to handle the current uncertainty regarding the wearing of masks at your kid's school, Brad Green shared his successful approach and it's brilliant. Be sure to check out the supplemental information he provides in the comments for specific actions.  Paul Rosenberg has another remarkable essay regarding the West That Was and it's a dilly. In this one he explains how our system of laws has transformed into a system of legislation that excludes the citizenry from participation.  Sponsors:  Monticello College Pure Light HSL Ammo Subscribe to the podcast  Support this program by becoming a Patron

One of the biggest takeaways of the lockdown approach to Covid-19 is that everyone is vulnerable when government determines which jobs are "essential" and which are not. Sam Bocetta makes a strong case for the free market when the consumer is sovereign. The uncertainty that blankets America right now is uncomfortable for most of us. In a year that has moved most of us far beyond our comfort zone, it's just one more degree of difficulty. Joseph Pearce has some much needed perspective about how what's playing out before us is part of a much larger battle that has being going on forever. The current drama is not the crisis that we're being led to believe it is. The prospect of secession isn't just a refuge for sore losers. As Jeff Deist explains, it's a viable alternative to violence between two parties that have irreconcilable differences and little prospect of finding common ground. When things are chaotic, our best bet is to return to our first principles to keep us on course. As James Bovard points out, our political leaders seem to struggle with this concept. They prefer to play the part of King Canute and claim power over nature that's not really theirs to exercise. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/loving-liberty/support

OPINION: In 1027, legend has it that King Canute of Denmark, England and Norway conducted a practical experiment to demonstrate that the power of Kings was not omnipotent.He set up his throne by the shore of the sea and commanded the incoming tide to halt and not wet his feet and robes. Instead, the tide continued as usual and covered his feet and legs, causing the king (a deeply pious man) to exclaim: "Let all men know how empty and worthless is the power of kings, for there is none worthy of the name, but He whom heaven, earth, and sea obey by eternal laws."However, in 1982, despite this demonstration – or perhaps, in ignorance of it – and following almost a decade of economic upheaval on the back of the loss of the British export market and two significant increases in global oil prices, New Zealand Prime Minster Robert Muldoon decided to introduce a Wage and Price Freeze, passing legislation making price increases illegal in an effort to hold back the tide of inflation. It failed, and when it finally came off inflation and interest rates in New Zealand skyrocketed to record levels over the following few years.The freeze, along with some of the other questionable policies introduced by Muldoon, provided a cautionary example of what not to do and demonstrated that efforts to regulate prices don't work and generally end up creating perverse outcomes which are worse than would have been the course if the market had simply been allowed to run its course. This understanding has had a significant effect on the economic direction our nation has taken over most of the 35 years since.So I just have to shake my head at recent comments by Jacinda Ardern and Judith Collins, in response to a question from Paddy Gower in the recent TV3 Leaders Debate, where both suggested that house prices can't be allowed to rise further (Collins even said "some house prices will need to come down").The implicit inference in their statements is that governments can somehow control house prices. But can they?Forty years of market history teaches us, unequivocally, that the answer is no and the idea that we can influence house prices by pulling a couple of levers is incredibly naïve.As I wrote in a recent OneRoof column, the character of each of the four property cycles we've seen since the 1980s has been very different – and anyone looking for a silver bullet solution to fix the market is kidding themselves.Governments and the Reserve Bank can certainly do things which create barriers which make it more difficult for different types of buyers to enter the market – but history teaches us that these measures have made absolutely no difference to the upward march of house prices, themselves.In recent years we've seen policies which have banned foreign investors, deterred local property investors, and made things significantly more difficult for some first home buyers. However, despite the claims of the Government and lobby groups, none of these measures have made the slightest jot of difference to house prices, themselves.There's also the question of whether we should try and stop house price inflation. Capital growth in the value of our homes has been absolutely transformative over the past four decades. It has allowed us to travel, educate our kids, buy businesses, house those who choose not to be homeowners and save for our retirement.According to Swiss-based Research Institute, Credit Suisse, it has also made us the world's fifth wealthiest country, so it beggars belief that any politician would be trying to curtail that extraordinarily positive trend.The typical retort to this argument is to point out that not every New Zealander is lucky enough to own their own home, and that point is certainly valid. While a significant majority of Kiwis are homeowners, around 40 percent of us are renters through choice or circumstance.But we won't fix that problem by penalising the 60 percent for the sake of the 40 percent. A wise government...

On this day in 1086, King Canute IV of Denmark was killed during a peasant uprising. He was eventually canonized as the patron saint of the country.

REFLECTION QUOTES “It's not religions that contain hatred, but human hearts.” ~Valley News lead editorial borrowed from the Los Angeles Times (4-30-2019) “An eye for an eye will only make the whole world blind.” ~Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948), lawyer, Indian nationalist leader “…the only way there could ever be reconciliation is going to be a personal revival. A personal revival, where God cleanses the heart and the attitudes and the soul of a person, and in many ways that's why I could learn to forgive.” ~Robert Soto, pastor and Apache tribal leader “We're not defined by that history, but we have to acknowledge it and that people of faith have a leadership role in causing the rest of the nation to believe that we can get to someplace better…. Redemption is still available, but we have to repent, we have to give voice to our failings. Repentance breeds redemption. Collectively, as a Church, we need to do that.” ~Bryan Stevenson on racial relations in the U.S. “Our communion with God lies in his giving himself to us and our giving ourselves and all that he requires to him. This communion with God flows from that union which is in Christ Jesus.” ~John Owen (1616-1683), pastor, theologian and Oxford academic “A humble soul is a Christ-magnifier (Phil. 1:20). He gives the glory of all his actions to Christ and free grace. King Canute took the crown off his own head and set it upon a crucifix. So, a humble saint takes the crown of honour from his own head and sets it upon Christ's.” ~Thomas Watson (c. 1620-1686), English pastor and author “It would be a good contest amongst Christians, one to labor to give no offense and the other to labour to take none.” ~Richard Sibbes (1577-1635), Church of England pastor and theologian “People will forget what you said, they will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel.” ~Maya Angelou (1828-2014), American poet and civil rights activist “The thing at bottom is this, that men have low thoughts of God, and high thoughts of themselves; and therefore it is that they look upon God as having so little right, and they so much.” ~Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) New England pastor and theologian “God uses broken things. It takes broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, broken bread to give strength. It is the broken alabaster box that gives forth perfume. It is Peter, weeping bitterly, who returns to greater power than ever.” ~Vance Havner (1901-1986), pastor and evangelist SERMON PASSAGE James 4:1-12 (NIV) James 3 (ESV) 13 Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. 17 But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. 18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. James 4 (NIV) 1 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. 4 You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? 6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.” 7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. 11 Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?

Tenx9 was at so many Summer festivals this year, we’ve gathered four stories from four locations: Leighann McConville has the wisdom of King Canute at Féile; Walker Ewart has an adult dilemma at EastSide Arts Festival; Sean Mullin has an epiphany in the labour ward from Fiddlers Green; Heather Fleming has a caravan in a hurricane at Soma. Paul is your host. Tenx9 is a monthly storytelling event where nine people have up to ten minutes to tell a true story from their own life on a particular theme. It began in Belfast in 2011, started by Pádraig Ó Tuama & Paul Doran, and as well as filling the main venue in the Black Box, it has spread to Scotland, England, USA, Canada, Netherlands & Australia. While it draws on the tradition of oral storytelling, we also encourage the shy, the nervous & the reticent - some people are confident speakers other use notes or the full text. We work with people via email or workshops to edit and improve their stories, to help them find their voice. We have also worked with prisoners as well as young people who have been in the care system. Our events are always free no matter where they are held in the world but we do suggest people make a small contribution to help cover overheads on their way out, if they wish.

Daniel Howes for Friday December 1, 2018 The president came to office promising to bring auto jobs home to Michigan and Ohio. And it looked like he’d be the Detroit industry’s best friend in decades. It’s not exactly working out that way. General Motors’ plan to end production at four U.S. plants next year … to imperil 3,300 hourly jobs … to cut 6,000 salaried employees elicited a fit of twitter rage from the commander in chief. With apologies to King Canute who believed he, alone, could command the oceans, the president is learning he, alone, can’t command the auto industry. On day one, Trump threatened to revoke electric-vehicle credits, even though he probably can’t. Then he threatened import tariffs on foreign-made cars, presumably including the Buick SUVs that GM makes in China and the sedans it mints in Canada. On the third day, he used Twitter again to deflect blame for GM’s decision, saying his tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum aren’t the problem. “The USA is booming,” Trump wrote, quote, “Auto companies are pouring into the U.S.” Except they aren’t. No, BMW isn’t building a second plant down South, as he reported. It’s thinking about it, in part as a hedge against presidential brow-beating. No, tariffs don’t help a Detroit auto industry greased by foreign parts and some production. They increase cost, decrease certainty and force CEOs to make hard calls. Or none at all. That’s the thing about policy, Mr. President. It has consequences. And as much as Trump wants to shirk responsibility for at least some of the headwinds buffeting the industry, he can’t. This isn't what candidate Trump envisioned when he barnstormed the industrial Midwest two years ago promising the return of auto jobs. Or when he vowed that tariffs on foreign steel, aluminum, even imported cars and trucks, would restore the Arsenal of Democracy to its former glory. Ain't working out that way. The short-term pain of tariffs is plain for all to see. The long-term gain? Not so much. GM has its own problems, legacies of its past. Too much excess plant capacity … and too many plants building traditional cars consumers don’t want. By its own admission, GM’s cash-flow generation is too meager … and its engineering staff is not optimized for the techy tasks ahead. None of that, it should be said, is Trump’s fault. It’s GM’s. After American taxpayers fronted billions of their dollars a decade ago to keep The General afloat, it shouldn’t be at all surprising that critics are howling about GM’s responsibility to its people, its communities and the country. And as this restructuring unspools next year … and the fates of those four plants is decided in talks with the United Auto Workers … the howling will continue. History can’t be erased that easily. A few years back, GM CEO Mary Barra asked me when people would start believing the new GM is for real. When it can prove its mettle to manage tough times and well as this long run of good times. That test is coming, but it hasn’t yet been passed. I’m Daniel Howes of The Detroit News. Daniel Howes is a columnist at The Detroit News.

Everyone thinks they know the story of King Canute, but there’s another version that has a very different moral. Both speak to the current Brexit crisis. Plus, how the car will continue to shape our cities, if we let it.

Ralph begins an account that starts with King Egbert and ends with Ethelred the Unready and the arrival of King Canute. King Alfred is probably most famous warrior king of Wessex however this remarkable lecture shows that there was a long line of kings who fought the campaigns against the Danes and went on to unify England and shape history as we know it. The Wessex Research Group archive contains those lectures that have been digitised and are freely downloadable as a personal educational tool. FFI log on to www.wessexresearchgroup.org

Over the last couple of episodes, we've had some interesting round-ups from the recent VMWorld conference, reviewing the announcements from the show, as well as how VMware are evolving to maintain relevance to their many customers in an ever more software defined, data-centric and of course cloud and as-a-service based world. Part of the VMware response to these changes ( I hasten to add, not the only technological evolutions they are making) is a smart one, rather than fight the tide King Canute style, VMware is not only embracing that change, but looking to empower it and make businesses ability to embrace a cloud-based world a more straightforward transition. Embracing this change comes in the form of VMware Cloud on AWS, That is the topic we explore on this week's show as I'm joined by Ben Meadowcroft, a Product Line Manager at VMware with a focus on VMware Cloud on AWS. I catch up with Ben to understand more about the solution, why it exists, the challenges business face when building a hybrid solution and how VMware Cloud on AWS is helping to ease that transition. Ben gives some great insight into the platform as well as some helpful use case examples to help you decide whether this kind of technology is a good fit for you. Personally, I think VMWare cloud on AWS is a really interesting solution and I can see it meeting needs in a number of enterprises, check out the show and provide your feedback, either on here or message me @techstringy on twitter.

There are affiliate links in this post. I watched Evan Carmicheal's YouTube video called 7 Books Every Entrepreneur Must Read (click here to see the video).   This was one of the books on his list.  Bob Burg's and John David Mann's The Go-Giver.  I really thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love when lessons are told through a story format.   These are my biggest takeaways from this book, page numbers included. Joe drew a breath.   "So', he spoke this next thought slowly, thinking it out loud, "you're saying, people don't take advantage of you because you don't expect them to?   That because you don't put any focus on selfishness and greed, even when it's all around you, it doesn't have much impact on you?"   Then he had a flash of inspiration.   "Like a healthy immune system-the disease is all around you, but you don't catch it?' pg 14 "All things being equal-"  Ernesto finished the phrase:  '-people will do business with and refer business to those people they know, like and trust." pg 25 'Your life works the same way," she said.   'You just make it up.   Being broke and being rich are both decisions.   You make them up, right here."   She tapped her finger to her temple.   "Everything else is just how it plays out." pg 45 'Watch out for the other guy.   Watch out for his interests.   Watch his back.   Forget about fifty-fifty, son.   Fifty-fifty's a losing proposition.   The only winning proposition is one hundred percent.   Make your win about the other person, go after what he wants.   Forget win-win-focus on the other person's win.'  pg 63 'Your influence is determined by how abundantly you place other people's interests first.'  pg 63 "What I'm here to sell you on is you.   People, remember this: no matter what your training, no matter what your skills, no matter what area you're in, you are your most important commodity.   The most valuable gift you have to offer is you."  pg 87 "Receiving is the natural result of giving.   If you give and then try to stop the receiving that comes back, you're like King Canute watching the tide roll out and commanding it not to come back in."  pg 102-103 'Every giving can happen only because it is also a receiving..." pg 103 'So the secret to success,' Joe went on, 'to gaining it, to having it, is to give, give, give.   The secret to getting is giving.   And the secret to giving is making yourself open to receiving.' pg 105   In reading this book, I literally stopped a few times to simply think.   This material I will keep and look over and reference again in the future.   This book is a short read and well worth your time. Not too long ago, I use to love buying/playing video games.    Nowadays, books are my new video games.    This is something that I never thought would happen.   I'm truly digging reading books.   Check this book out.   Click my affiliate links within this post.   Doing so will support me and the authors of this book at no extra cost to you.   Have you read it?   What were some of your takeaways?   Let me know on the blog.

In AD 1028 King Canute tried to command the tide to turn back. History records that the king of all lands surrounding the North Sea got very cross, wet, and made a hasty retreat. Every day, in general practices across the country, dedicated practice teams get very cross when they are yet again unsuccessful at meeting the daily demand for appointments and the incoming tide of patient demand and expectation. Ron Neville, a partner in the Westgate Health Centre in Dundee joins us to discuss what his new appointment system learned from the soggy monarch. http://www.bmj.com/content/349/bmj.g7228

So whose listening?  Ah well thanks for all the hits.  We continue Clouds of Witness As Time Goes By and Mark Steel plus learn more about King Canute.
