This is part one of two episodes on The Caribbean Mosaics: A Home Away from Home in which Fiona Vernal, professor of History and Africana Studies at the University of Connecticut, explains how West Indians became the largest ethnic group in one New England State. In this episode, Dr. Vernel takes us through the history of the West Indian Social Club and the migrant workers from the West Indies who founded it when they settled in the region in the 1940s. They came as guest workers from all over the Caribbean. Facing discrimination, they founded their own social, religious, and athletic organizations as autonomous cultural spaces and networks beginning with the West Indian Social Club in 1950, followed by the Caribbean American Society, the Barbados American Society, the Trinidad & Tobago American Society, the Jamaica Progressive League, the St Lucia American Society and the Cricket Hall of Fame among others. The Social Club is a veritable treasure trove of memories that documents the lives and experiences of the farmworkers. Dr. Vernal started preserving these memories through an exhibition in collaboration with the Connecticut historical society. "It has been a long-term goal of mine to build on that experience from the 1940s and continue the oral history project and then share and showcase the oral histories. So that's what we are doing now, " said Dr. Vernal. She added: "This pandemic has demonstrated to us how critical foreign guest workers are to the infrastructure of this country. And I think that with renewed attention on the fact that folks are coming here, a lot of them are invited here and they make really important contributions to our food security and to our economic prosperity and productivity. And I want to do something to showcase the origins of those programs in the 1940s.The latest exhibit called the Caribbean Mosaic opens on June 23, 2021, at the West Indian Social Club in Hartford Connecticut.

I hope 2020 is continuing to start off great for you! Everyone is always so excited to kick off the New Year and seek success in their businesses. However, many times, that excitement will fade and the business may struggle, as the year goes on. Why is this? There’s a very common and specific reason. Purpose. You’d be surprised how many businesses lack purpose. Without purpose, the business can’t thrive, and your excitement will be challenged. Today, I’ll be talking about the importance of purpose in your business and how to find it! Journaling Prompts: What do you want to leave this Earth with? What story do you want told about you?

The Bangkok Podcast | Conversations on Life in Thailand's Buzzing Capital
Today we’re talking with an expert on the Brahmin, a Hindu caste that plays a very important role in the highest levels of Thai society. And we have something special planned for our one year episode. Oh, and there's a Bangkok-wide podcast meetup coming up. We’ll cover that and more on episode 2.45 of the Bangkok Podcast. Have you RSVP’d to the big, huge, love-fest that will be the I Love Podcasting In Bangkok meetup on August 30th? It’s free, low-key, and something we’d like to repeat on a regular basis. So if you’re in town and free that evening, come join us and lot of other podcasters, podcast listeners, and those just interested in learning more about podcasting for a few beers and conversation. It’ll be fun! And if that’s not interesting enough, we’re coming up on our one-year anniversary of the podcast relaunch! We’re collecting questions, comments, and other items that you, our loyal listeners and fans would like for us to talk about on this special show. There are plenty of links at the bottom of this post if you’d like to send a query. But that’s not what we’re talking about on this episode. Recently, Greg chatted with Nathan McGovern, Assistant Professor in Philosophy and Religious studies at the University of Wisconsin - Whitewater. He has a BA in Physics and a PhD in Religious Studies, and is a specialist on a unique Hindu Caste called the Brahmins. Not a lot of people have heard of the Brahmins, and even if you have you may not be aware that they play a vital role in the highest levels of Thai society and have been doing so for hundreds of years. Here are a few tidbits you’ll pick up from this fascinating conversation How Hindu priests (Brahmins) became employed by Thailand’s Royal Court (a Buddhist institution) hundreds of years ago -- and remain today What services the Hindu priests perform in Thailand’s Royal Court and how that differs from the Buddhist priests Why having Hindu priests quite close to the center of power in Thailand isn’t quite as strange as it might seem Which modern ceremony performed by Brahmins expats in Bangkok have probably have seen Where to visit the almost-hidden Brahmin temple in Bangkok Love, Loathe, or Leave What’s up with the trend (?) of using “bro” via messages in Bangkok? And how is it supposed to be pronounced? Brough? Brugh? Brah? We’re puzzled, so listen in and see just how much tiny things like this bother us. Or not. We Love Our Supporters!

SEEKING ANOTHER CITY HEBREWS 13:5-16 5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." 6 So we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?" 7 Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. 9 Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them. 10 We have an altar from which those who serve the tent have no right to eat. 11 For the bodies of those animals whose blood is brought into the holy places by the high priest as a sacrifice for sin are burned outside the camp. 12 So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. 13 Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured. 14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. 15 Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name. 16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. SERMON NOTES I. He is Not in the Temple (Empty Religion) A) Superior Altar B) His Blood C) Strengthened By Grace II. He is Not in the City (Safety) A) Bear His Reproach B) Leave What is Comfortable C) Leave What is "Smart" III. He is Not of This World (Earthly Pleasures) A) Jerusalem B) New Jerusalem C) In Between
