How the Camel Got His Hump by Rudyard Kipling — A Calming Bedtime Story for Sleep, Insomnia & Deep Relaxation | Books at Bedtime A gentle bedtime story to help you fall asleep — read slowly and softly by Martin, for anyone lying awake in need of something kind to drift off to. Tonight's reading is How the Camel Got His Hump, one of Rudyard Kipling's best-loved Just So Stories, first published in 1902 and long out of copyright. It's a warm, funny little tale from the beginning of the world, when the animals were only just starting to work alongside people. A camel lives out in the middle of the desert doing absolutely nothing, answering everything that is said to him with a single word — until the Djinn in charge of all deserts comes rolling by in his cloud of dust and settles the matter once and for all. Kipling wrote these stories to be read aloud to a sleepy child, and it shows. The gentle repetition, the returning refrain, the slow tally of the days — it's a rhythm that lets a busy mind stop gripping and start to drift. Perfect for insomnia, for night-time anxiety, or for anyone who simply wants a familiar voice in the dark. There is nothing to follow here and nothing to do. No breathing exercise, no affirmations, no tips. Just a story that takes you somewhere a long way from your own day. If you're asleep before the Djinn ever arrives, the story has done exactly what it came to do. This is Books at Bedtime, part of Coffee Break for the Soul from the Calming Anxiety podcast — a growing library of classic sleep stories, relaxing audiobooks and public-domain readings for insomnia, night-time anxiety and deep relaxation. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett. Every Books at Bedtime story is also inside Anchored, our iOS app — offline-ready, with a built-in nightlight for the small hours, so there is always something waiting for you at three in the morning. Sleep well, my friend, and in your dreams, be kind.

How the Leopard Got His Spots by Rudyard Kipling — A Calming Bedtime Story for Sleep, Insomnia & Deep Relaxation | Books at Bedtime A soothing bedtime story to help you fall asleep — read slowly and softly by Martin, for anyone lying awake and wanting something gentle to drift off to. Tonight's reading is How the Leopard Got His Spots, one of Rudyard Kipling's much-loved Just So Stories, first published in 1902 and long out of copyright. It's a warm, playful tale of the bare, sunlit High Veldt, of a giraffe and a zebra who slip away into a shadowy forest, of Baviaan the wise baboon and his riddling advice, and of how a leopard and his hunting companion finally learn to change. Kipling wrote these stories to be spoken aloud to a child at bedtime — the rolling, repeating rhythm and the familiar refrain of "best beloved" are exactly what makes them settle a restless mind. There is nothing to follow here and nothing to do. No breathing exercise, no affirmations. Just a voice in the dark and a story that goes somewhere far away from your own day. If you fall asleep long before the leopard ever finds his spots, the story has done its job.

Серията Vox Nihili на Ratio Podcast и Предизвикай правото! изследва пресечните точки на науката и технологиите с етиката и правото, а също така и редица дискусионни теми от сферата на философията. Може би си спомняте, че имахме сходна серия събития на име Vox Nihili - в текущата ситуация ги пренасяме в аудио и видео формат. Епизодът е част от вътрешната за Vox Nihili тема „Детски приказки“. В епизодите, които са включени в поредицата, ще представяме както класически детски приказки, така и съвременни детско-юношески романи. Стремежът ни ще бъде да представим различните контексти, в които се ражда детската литература и начините, по които тя може да се чете от възрастни. Вярваме, че литературните входове към света на детството могат да бъдат от особена полза при адресирането на едни от най-тежките проблеми на света, в който живеем като възрастни. Темата се организира по идея на Стоян Ставру. Любомир Бабуров, Мария Пипева и Стоян Ставру обсъждат: - Кой е Киплинг и защо „Книга за джунглата“? - Защо китът има тясно гърло? - Как леопардът стана на петна? - Може ли е една приказка винаги да се разказва по един и същ начин („точно така“)? - Защо животните на Киплинг са толкова екзотични? - Колко надежден е всезнаещият разказвач? - Има ли 13-а приказка и коя е тя? - Може ли да обясним начина, по който са подредени 12-те приказки? - Кое е първото опитомено животни (отговор: мъжът)? - Какво може да ни каже котката за бизнес преговорите? - Объркващ ли е езикът и какви са криптограмите, които ни е заложил Киплинг? - Как се съотнасят щипката на рака и ръката на закона? - Какво се случва, когато пеперудите тропат с крак? - Каква е разликата между хобота на слончето и носът на Пинокио? - Каква е рецепцията на „Приказки“ на Киплинг в България? „Приказки“ на Ръдиард Киплинг е сборник от 12 приказки, които претендират да обясняват различни неща в света на детето: храносмилателната система на кита, гърбицата на камилата, кожата на носорога, петната на леопарда, хобота на слончето, скоковете на кенгурото, произхода на броненосците но и силата на писаното слово и тайните на азбуката. Особено интересни са последните три приказки, в които можем да открием генеалогията на реда през фигурите на морето и рака, жената и котката, а също и джина и пеперудата. Въпреки, че не са толкова популярни като „Книга за джунглата“, „Приказките“ на Киплинг оказват силно влияние не само в Англия, но и върху световната детска литература. Днес решихме да поговорим именно за това влияние и за удоволствието от четенето на „Приказките“.

Rudyard Kipling published Stalky & Co. in 1899. Set at an English boarding school in a seaside town on the North Devon coast. (The town, Westward Ho!, is not only unusual in having an exclamation mark, but also in being itself named after a novel, by Charles Kingsley.)The book is a collection of linked short stories, with some information about the eponymous Stalky's later life. Beetle, one of the main trio, is said to be based on Kipling himself, while Stalky may be based on Lionel Dunsterville.The stories have elements of the macabre (dead cats), bullying and violence, and hints about sex, making them far from the childish or idealised world of the typical school story. Edmund Wilson, critic, in The Wound and the Bow, was both shocked and uncomprehending.

José Luis Moro es Un Pingüino En Mi Ascensor, pionero del nasal pop. Tras muchos años trabajando como creativo publicitario, hoy codirige su propia agencia, Pingüino Torreblanca. Charlamos sobre el éxito y el fracaso (esos dos grandes impostores, como diría Kipling), el sentido del humor, la nostalgia, la publicidad y el hecho de no querer nunca tomarse demasiado en serio. Acaba de publicar nuevo disco: Mi único deseo es matar.
A senior Indigenous banker in Canada cautions the Canadian government to keep Indigenous consultation at the forefront for major projects. As Dan Karpenchuk reports, he also says there is interest from Indigenous leaders in taking part in those major energy projects. Recently Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney repeated his plan to fast track major energy projects in Canada. Last week, he said Ottawa would build quickly and “in the right way” in consulting with Indigenous and provincial partners, but some of those leaders have been critical fearing that the process of consultation will be rushed and their concerns would be brushed aside. Carney's government wants to change parts of environmental law to make it easier to build a pipeline to the west coast, along with other energy projects. Bill Lomax is the president and CEO of the First Nations Bank of Canada. He says that early and meaningful talks with Indigenous communities is key. “We're seeing more business acquisitions happening, joint ventures happening with companies that are servicing, let's say, a pipeline. That kind of thing is just really taken off. We've seen our business grow. We're really a reflection of our clients. And their success leads to our success.” Lomax says the bank's commercial business was growing by 10% a year, but in the past year, it's been 26%. He says that shows how much Indigenous businesses are becoming involved, but he warns the opportunity for their approval is there if the consultation is done right. “You need to engage with the nation early on and let them know what you are thinking about, have them participate and have them be part of the plan.” Lomax says even though some Indigenous communities will be against some projects, but he believes there are many more that would be ready to move and move quickly. The First Nations Bank of Canada is an Indigenous-owned national bank. It's mission is to serve Indigenous people, nations, and businesses. The Alaska Native Language Center will publish a novel this summer retelling Rudyard Kipling's “The White Seal”, the only Jungle Book story set outside India, on St. Paul Island in the Bering Sea. Two artists from the Pribilof Islands retell the story through the perspective of a young Indigenous protagonist named Sergie. KUCB's Maggie Nelson has more. Garrett Pletnikoff is the coauthor of the new young adult chapter book “Sergie and the White Seal”. The story is an adaptation of one in Kipling's Jungle Book, “The White Seal”, published in 1894. And actually names Pletnikoff's great, great, great grandfather as a main antagonist. Kipling portrays Pletnikoff's ancestors through a disparaging colonial lens — as unclean murderers of the innocent marine mammals. Pletnikoff says this adaptation is a chance to tell a different story — to portray the Unangan community and the seals as partners instead of enemies, as Kipling wrote them. “The White Seal includes violent descriptions of seal harvesting, but Kipling never mentions that these harvests were not done by Unangan free will. The Unangan people of the Pribilof Islands were subjected to forced labor.” Hannah Zimmerman coauthored the book with Pletnikoff. She says they were inspired by Unangan lore and mythology and decided to name their main character after a spiritual leader from the Aleutian chain — Sergie Soboroff. “It’s a story of Sergie, who discovers that he’s a shaman, and he has this, you know, magical ability to talk to animals, and he discovers his purpose as a conduit between the animal world, in the human world.” Zimmerman says they used Sergie's role as a shaman to discuss topics like how colonization wiped out certain Indigenous practices. “When we read the book to fourth and fifth graders in the fall at the St Paul Island School. And I’ll never forget how, at the end of the book, one of the fifth grade students came up to me, and he was like, you know, I didn’t know Aleuts could be superheroes.” “Sergie and the White Seal” is now available through the University Press of Colorado's website.

Ottavio Fatica"Operazione Shylock"Philip RothPrefazione: Emmanuel CarrèreAdelphiwww.adelphi.it«Un libro infernale, che non si riesce a smettere di leggere. Una riflessione sul giudaismo, su Israele, sull'invecchiare, sulla menzogna, sull'invenzione, sulla letteratura – su tutto ciò che conta nella vita. Assolutamente vertiginoso. Leggetelo» (Emmanuel Carrère). Traduzione di Ottavio FaticaTraduzione della prefazione di Emmanuel Carrère: Ena MarchiNella sua burrascosa carriera, Philip Roth ci ha abituato alle più spericolate acrobazie narrative, ma mai ha osato tanto quanto in Operazione Shylock, dove, per dire e fare tutto ciò che vuole, ha sentito il bisogno di misurarsi con il suo più temibile avversario: un altro Philip Roth – stesso nome e stessi connotati, solo il nomignolo Moishe Pipik a distinguerlo da sé. Mai il tema del Doppio è stato usato in un romanzo con un tale autolesivo virtuosismo. Roth azzanna sé stesso come essere umano, come ebreo, come Philip Roth, e non si accontenta di una libbra di carne. Come congegnare, altrimenti, una spy story che tiene insieme il Mossad, il processo al mostro di Treblinka, il recupero dopo un crollo psichico da Halcion, l'incontro-scontro con ebrei e palestinesi in una Gerusalemme pattugliata dall'esercito israeliano, il faccia a faccia ustorio con l'altro Philip Roth – un megalomane che per salvare gli ebrei ashkenaziti da un probabile prossimo sterminio si fa propugnatore di una nuova diaspora, uno spregiudicato controesodo verso i paesi europei d'origine – e con la sua procace, concupita compagna? Sfoggiando una lingua viscerale e insieme altamente speculativa, Roth combina in queste pagine la più spiritata, isterica commedia nera con il dramma di popoli e di singoli individui lacerati, e mette in scena una mirabolante due-giorni a Gerusalemme che – incredibile a dirsi – fa anche ridere.Philip Milton Roth nasce a Newark, nel New Jersey, il 19 marzo del 1933 in una famiglia della piccola borghesia ebraica. Si laurea alla Bucknell University e fa un master in letteratura inglese all'Università di Chicago. Pubblica i primi racconti sulla Paris Review, su Esquire e sul New Yorker. Il suo capolavoro è Pastorale Americana, con cui vince il Premio Pulitzer nel 1997 e da cui è stato tratto un film da Ewan McGregor, che interpreta anche il ruolo del protagonista. Il libro fa parte una trilogia che comprende Ho sposato un comunista e La macchia umana. Il suo esordio avviene nel 1959 con Addio Columbus. Dieci anni dopo la fama con Il lamento di Portnoy, in cui il protagonista, un trentenne ebreo, Alexander Portnoy, racconta all'analista le proprie nevrosi sessuali.Autore di trentuno libri, Roth è stato un critico feroce della società americana, della sessualità maschile e dei falsi miti dell'uomo occidentale (in Complotto contro l'America del 2004 immagina che alle elezioni per la presidenza americana del 1940 venga eletto Charles Lindbergh anziché Roosevelt, e che questo trasformi gli Stati Uniti in un alleato della Germania nazista). Nel 2009 annuncia il suo ritiro dall'attività di romanziere. Il suo nome è apparso spesso nella lista dei concorrenti al premio Nobel per la letteratura. Muore a New York il 22 maggio 2018.Ottavio FaticaFamoso per le sue numerose traduzioni, ricordiamo: il Moby-Dick di Melville, quasi tutto Kipling, i diari di Byron, i limerick di Lear, Céline, Henry James.

On Halloween night of 1992 something happened that divided the small farming town of Kipling, Saskatchewan. A young single mother accused the town's well respected doctor of sexual assault while under his care. Wanting to save his reputation, the doctor took a blood test to prove his DNA was not a match for the samples found during the performance of a sexual assault exam. It was not a match. Despite this, Candice, the accuser, was adamant about what had happened.

We finally won a game of football, so obviously we're going to overthink every second of it. Sean Kray makes his Fighting Cock debut with an elite Mr Kipling bar, Ben's fresh back from the away end, and we try to work out why the vibes were so good even when the football was… not. We get into Frank's setup, the constant fan backlash, Odobert actually giving us something to latch onto, and whether we're being too harsh on the manager or not harsh enough. Plus: Porro stress, Paulinho discourse, Richarlison redemption arc (sort of), and what we actually need in January. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
