Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D., is not your typical individual, according to Philip Hackett. In addition to being incredibly gifted and informed in many other fields, his interactions with coworkers and people in general are frequently appreciated. He is also a great illustration of the concept of lifelong learning. His research studies and media productions still have a big impact on education today. Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D., talks about how he succeeded in a town where academic performance was the primary societal expectation for young people. Success, according to his contemporary Rupert Greene, is more influenced by one's own experiences and community knowledge than by the school one attended. Mr. Greene urges Barbados' schools, especially the more recent secondary institutions like Parkinsons, St. Leonards, and Ellerslies, to share their sources of motivation and inspiration for learning. Mr. Greene stresses the value of individual development and the idea that boys will be boys. He also talks on how important it is to visit schools like Parkinson's. Mr. Greene claims that those who grew up on Martinique Road in Saint Michael, Barbados, value Dr. William Anderson Gittens' testimony and his accomplishment as a Doctor of Divinity is well-deserved. Last but not least, the following establishments are located close to Martinique Road: Barbados Community College, Belmont Manse, Belmont Methodist Church,Belmont Primary School,Carrington Wesleyan Holiness Church,Charles F. Broome Primary,Government Hill Nursery,Government Hill Sabbath Day Adventist,Happy Vale Montessori School Barbados, Hill Top Preparatory School (Barbados), Israel Lovell Foundation, National Sports Council, Saint Giles Primary School, Springer Memorial School, The State House (formerly Government House), Welches Post Office, Communities including Blenheim, Carrington Village,Government Hill, Licorish Village, My Lord's Hill,The Ivy, encircle it.Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.DWORKS CITEDA_MEMOIR_OF_Dr_William_Anderson_Gittens_D_D_2024_ISBNISBN978_976_97385_0_8Academic.edu.

Unikāla spēja, kas piemīt tikai retajam — tas ir maņu "kopdarbs" jeb sinestēzija. Vai pirmdiena skan kā dzeltenā krāsa, bet melns apģērbs "dzied dziesmu"? Varbūt vārds Leonards garšo pēc apelsīniem, bet Inese ir "skāba"? Kas ir sinestēzija un kāda ir sinestētiķu dzīve ar šādu ikdienas maņu eksploziju? To pārrunājam ar Latvijas Universitātes Izglītības zinātņu un psiholoģijas fakultātes un Datorikas fakultātes Uztveres un kognitīvo sistēmu laboratorijas vadošo pētnieci Solvitu Umbraško un Latvijas Universitātes Datorikas fakultātes Uztveres un kognitīvo sistēmu laboratorijas vadošo pētnieci Līgu Zariņu. Sinestēzijas gadījumā nozīme ir iedzimtībai, un iedzimtība ir aspekts, kas būtisks arī krāsu akluma gadījumā, par ko skaidrojumu sniedz Gunta Krūmiņa. Īpaši mūzikas pasaulē ir visai daudz personību, kuras zināmas ne tikai ar savu radīto mūziku, bet arī vēl kādu neparastu īpašību, kas šiem cilvēkiem piemitusi, un tā ir sinestēzija. Redzēt mūziku krāsās, bet krāsas dzirdēt skaņās, un tie nebūt nav vienīgie sinestēzijas veidi. Sinestēzija kā iedvesmas avots ir kalpojusi, piemēram, tādiem komponistiem kā Olivjē Mesiāns, Ģērģs Ligeti, Mikalojs Konstantīns Čurļonis, tā piemitusi arī latviešu skaņražiem Jānim Ivanovam, Ādolfam Skultem. Sinestēzija noder arī mūslaiku komponistiem, bet, protams, tā nav tikai uz māksliniekiem attiecināma īpašība. Vēl interesanti, ka katram sinestētam būs savs stāsts par to, kādā krāsā būtu viens vai otrs cilvēka vārds, bet sinestētu strūpi jeb testi ar nodrukātiem vārdiem konkrētās krāsās palīdz saprast, cik viegli vai grūti ir uztvert vārdu vienā krāsā, pat ja pašam sinestētam liekas, ka šim vārdam patiesībā piemīt pavisam cita krāsa.
On today's podcast: 1) Several previously confidential documents related to Jeffrey Epstein were made public in federal court in New York after a yearslong battle over their release. 2) The US Supreme Court will chart the nation's political future as it confronts a potentially stark choice over efforts to remove Donald Trump from this year's presidential ballot for trying to overturn his 2020 election loss. 3) Iran said blasts that killed almost 100 people in a central province were aimed at punishing its stance against Israel's invasion of Gaza, building on signs the war against Hamas could tip into a broader regional conflict. Full Transcript: Good morning. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Here are the stories we're following today. We begin with previously confidential documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, now made public in federal court in New York. This follows a year's long battle over their release. The documents were part of a twenty fifteen lawsuit against Epstein associate Glene Maxwell, who's serving a twenty year sentence for sex trafficking. Bloomberg editor Tony Aaron says, most of these documents have been seen, but there'd been redactions. A lot of people had thought there'd be some massive client list or a nice list of names that would be easy for them to follow. It wasn't anything like that. We've been getting about so far, about forty of what's probably going to be hundreds of documents, and in those we've seen names like Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew Britain, and a few others that are all very very familiar and Bloomberg's Tony Aaron says former President Clinton Andrev denied knowing about or participating in Epstein's appropriate conduct. Well, Nathan. Ties to Epstein have led to career downfalls for former Barclay CEO Jess Staley and Apollo Global Management co founder Leon Black, and they've harnished reputations of other high profile figures like Bill Gates and Leslie Wexner, though all have denied knowing about or participating in an inappropriate conduct with Epstein. Virginia Juphrey is the Epstein victim who sued to have these documents released. Paul Pelletier is a former federal prosecutor who's been following the case. Part of the reason why Jeffrey Epstein was prosecuted in New York, or at least was indicted in New York, was because Virginia Giffrey would not stop and former federal prosecutor Paul Pelletier was speaking there. Jeffrey Epstein was charged with sex trafficking in July twenty nineteen, but died by suicide in a Manhattan prison cell before he could stand trial. Okay, Karen, Let's turn to politics in the US now. Former President Donald Trump is now asking the Supreme Court to overturn the ruling and Colorado that has kicked him off that state's primary ballot. Bloomberg Legal editor Eric Latterson says this appeal has a number of possible outcomes. The court could rule, for example, that the Colorado Supreme Court didn't give Trump to process. That's another argument that Trump is making. He's also arguing Detection three of the Fourteenth amend that which you borrow's insurrectionist from holding office federal office, doesn't apply to the office of the presidency, and the Supreme Court could overturn that Colorado decision based only on those findings that they wished, without weighing in on whether Trump was an insurrection In Bloomberg's Eric Larson says the former president faces many ongoing legal cases, but he is still the front runner for the Republican presidential nomination. Now Nathan to an issue that's expected to weigh heavily on voters' minds in the twenty twenty four presidential election. Immigration at the southern border. Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing for a GOP only border bill, Democrats argue goes too far in securing the US border with Mexico. Johnson led a GOP delegation into the border yesterday as Republicans look to pressure Democrats on border policy changes. The impassover immigration has complicated congressional talks to avert a partial government shut down later this month, and puts more than fifty billion dollars in military at Ukraine at risk should talks collapse. As for rising tensions in the Middle East, care and authorities in Iran say two deadly explosions in a central province our retaliation for its stance against Israel. The US says it has nothing to do with the attacks. Bloomberg's Ed Baxter has the details, and it says neither did Israel. Iran is characterizing them as terror attacks. More than one hundred people killed. The blastnare the grave of Iranian commander Solomane. US State Department quick to respond, spokesman Matthew Miller, I do want to address some of the irresponsible claims that I have seen circulate and say that number one, the United States was not involved in any way, and any suggestion to the contrary is ridiculous, and number two, we have no reason to believe that Israel was involved. Miller says it's in no one's interest to see the conflict escalate, and note it comes a day after an attack in Beyrout that killed in Iran backed Hamas militant leader Ed Baxter Bloomberg Radio, all right, ed, thank you well. Separately, more than a dozen countries we're in the around backed Houthi group in Yemen against continuing their attacks on shipping in the Red Sea. The attacks have disrupted global commerce and triggered a build up of Western naval power in the area. Sources say the US and its allies are considering possible strikes against the Houthis. I'm a concern that the maritime task force launched by Washington may not eliminate this threat to the vital waterway, which normally handles about twelve percent of global commerce. Let's turn out to the economy, Karen and the release of the December FED minutes. Officials expect rates to remain in restrictive territory for some time, but they acknowledge those rates have probably peaked, and Richmond FED President Thomas Barkin says a soft landing is not inevitable. I'd caution you to focus less on the rate path and more on the flight path. Is inflation continuing its descent and is the broader economy continuing to fly smoothly? Conviction on both questions will determine the pace and timing of any change in rates. Richmond Fed president Thomas bark And also did not rule out a March interest rate cut. And in corporate news, Nathan's social media giant TikTok's looking to grow the size of its US e commerce business tenfold to as much as seventeen point five billion dollars this year. Bloombergy tech reporter Alex Spirinka says TikTok's ambitious target may pose a bigger spread to Amazon. Where TikTok is winning is on the fees they're imposing on verchips. They will be raising those fees to six percent in April eight percent in July, but those fees are still lower than Amazon seller fees. On TikTok, They're hoping that you're so engaged in trance and have an emotional connection to the people who are posting these videos that you trust them when they say they like a product, and that makes you want to buy it. And that's Bloomberg's Alex Spirenka. Now for a look at some of the other stories making news around the world, and for that we're joined by Bloomberg's Amy Morris. Samy. Good morning, Good morning, Karen. We're watching a winter storm that's expected to bring snow, rain, and wind to the East this weekend. Bloomberg meteorologist Rob Carolyn has details first significant storm of the season looks like it's headed towards the Northeast and mid Atlantic this weekend. Now, the major cities are probably going to be spared heavy snowfall due to the fact the ocean's still warm, and there'll probably be some mixing with rain and d C Baltimore, also in the New York and Boston area, but north and west of I ninety five, that's where heavier snowfall is likely and less mixing or no mixing at all, and that's going to result in probably a three to six inch snowfall, if not more, north and west of Boston, New York City, and d C and Baltimore. The cities, though d C, Baltimore, New York, and Boston should only end up with about one to three inches as it looks like right now. Now. If this does materialize, it would be the first measurable snow in two years for DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York. A bomb thread email to officials several states yesterday briefly disrupted government affairs and prompted some state capital evacuations, but the FBI quickly dismissed the threats as a hoax. Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, and Montana all the some of the states that evacuated state houses or buildings. Kay Kirkpatrick is a state senator in Georgia. I'm not even sure what would motivate somebody to do something like that that could potential result in loss of life. The FBI says it takes hoax threats very seriously and that investigation is ongoing. We told you how Donald Trump's legal team is appealing to ruling by the main Democratic secretary of State that he is ineligible to appear on the state's GOP primary ballot. Will Fellow GOP presidential candidates have called for that band to be reversed, including former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, who says taking Trump off the ballot will lead to more problems. Don't open a door you can't close, and this is a dangerous store to open, and we need the Supreme Court to s been quickly before we have too many states do this still. Haley says she's not surprised to see Trump in a new legal struggle. Scientists say they've developed a new kind of antibiotic to treat dangerous bacteria resistant to most current medicines. The researchers from Harvard University in Hoffman Laroach say the new antibiotic can effectively kill bacteria that cause serious long urinary tract and blood infections.

This is Bloomberg Daybreak. Good morning, I'm Nathan Hager on a morning of busy news flow. Jeffrey Epstein's ties to politics and Wall Street are back in the spotlight with the release of dozens of formerly sealed documents. Donald Trump is taking his fight to stay eligible to run in twenty twenty four to the US Supreme Court, and border politics could run up against Congress's effort to keep the government from starting to shut down in a little more than two weeks. Lots to discuss this morning, and here to do that with us now is Bloomberg News correspondent Bruce Einhorn. Bruce, thanks for being with us. Let's start off with the revelations, if any, that we got from these documents that were in the Jeffrey Epstein case that had really been a year's long effort to get them out. Did they shed any new light on Jeffrey Epstein's crimes, Well, so far there aren't too many surprises. So these are the first of what are expected to be hundreds of documents identifying more than one hundred and fifty people. These are documents that had been filed and redacted as part of a twenty fifteen lawsuit against just Laying Ma Well. She, of course, was an associate of Jeffrey Epstein. She was convicted in twenty twenty one of participating in his crimes. He himself died in prison before he ever went to trial. So some of the names that were in the unsealed documents included former President Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew Written. These are names that had already been out there. Former President Trump not mentioned in these documents, but had been identified in testimony in this case, along with former President Clinton as some of the people who had flown on Jeffrey Epstein's plane. So there's maybe more news, more revelations as more of the documents are unsealed, but for now, no big surprises. Yeah, a lot of people have been following this case. Bruce had been expecting or speculating at least that there might be some kind of client list that's been under seal in New York Federal Court. Do we have any indication at this point that such a list exists and could be unveiled at some point. It's possible. At the moment, we don't know about a client list. No, Okay, let's turn to what might have been the other major story otherwise, former President Trump taking his fight to stay on the ballot at least in Colorado to the United States Supreme Court. This is a notable moment in the twenty twenty four rays yes, and the arguments that former President Trump makes are interesting. He has a couple of different arguments that he makes on why the Colorado Supreme Court aired. First of all, he said that one that it would move would unconstitutionally disenfranchised voters in Colorado and potentially disenfranchised voters elsewhere. He said that his lawyers say that in the filing that that insurrection UH was understood by the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment to mean something very specific. According to form President Trump s luers, it meant taking up arms and waging war against the United States, and that's the way that the fourteenth Amendment should be read now, and therefore it doesn't apply to him. This is his argument. He also argued that the fourteenth Amendment, which says very specifically that this that an officer of the United States who UH engaged in an insurrection is ineligible, that that does not include President of the United States and therefore again shouldn't apply to him. And then he also UH criticized the Supreme the Colorado Supreme Court for relying on evidence from the January fourth Select Committee. He said that that's inadmissible and then also said that the insurrection clause in the fourteenth Amendment isn't self executing. This is an argument that constitutional experts have been having about whether or not it is self executing. That is to say that does Congress need to do anything set up procedures for determining whether someone's violated, or can the court just make that decision itself. These are all the arguments that Trump's making, and you know next step is for to hear with the Supreme Court system.

Last time we spoke about the allied drive to Munda and General Sasaki's major counter offensive. General Wing began the drive upon Munda Point, but General Sasaki predicted many of the routes the Americans would take and ordered his forces to create tedious roadblocks and defensive positions to foil their advances. The allied progress was brutally slow, despite having the enormous advantage in artillery, naval and aerial bombardment support. The Japanese pillboxes were proving to be devastating to the allied infantry, requiring tanks to be brought over to New Georgia. When things began to halt, suddenly General Sasaki performed a counter offensive seeing a daring attack directed at the headquarters of the 43rd division. The attack nearly broke the lines of communications, but luckily the Fijian commandos outperformed the japanese at their own game of night fighting. Lastly the IJN suffered terrible losses to allied aircraft collapsing their reinforcement efforts.

If you are still hungry for some more history related content, over on my channel, the Pacific War Channel you can find a few videos all the way from the Opium Wars of the 1800's until the end of the Pacific War in 1945. The battles in New Guinea and New Georgia were particularly bloody, in all honesty things had begun to really escalate when you look at it from a numerical point of view. Over on Green Hell, General Savige had just seized Mubo, the Pimple, Green Hill and Observation hill taking them out of Japanese hands. The Japanese had withdrawn to Komiatum while simultaneously trying to defend the Bobdubi ridge area against Brigadier Hammer's 15th brigade. General Savige, still unaware Salamaua was not the main target and in fact was being used as a deception to cover for Lae, continued his offensive, hoping to drive the enemy north of the Francisco River. Over on the other side, General Nakano's 1st battalion of the 80th regiment had managed to push Companies B and A off their ambush position on the Bench Cut Track. They were forced to withdraw towards Gwaibolom by July 10th. Meanwhile to the south Major Warfe launched an attack along Goodview junction. Captain Wally Meares of C platoon marched up Stephens Track while Captain John Winterflood's B platoon took Walpoles track. Lt Hugh Egan created a blocking position using just 7 men around 800 meters south of Goodview Junction. The platoons went to work advancing down the steep ridges dislodging Japanese from outposts. Captain Meares platoon were continuing along the Stephens track when they suddenly encountered strong resistance from some Japanese who took a position along the Tambu Saddle which is at a junction between Stephens track and the Mule track. After engaging the Japanese, the platoon was forced to bypass them moving along the Mule track towards the Komiatum track where they ran into more Japanese. Meares men killed 13 Japanese on the Mule track before deciding to withdraw back to the Stephens track and dug in. The Japanese had surprised Warfe's men. The forces they were running into were mainly the 1st and 2nd companies of the 66th battalion along with Araki's HQ staff who had been on the run from Mubo to Komiatum. The Japanese tried to press on with a counter attack aimed at Winterflood's B platoon. The Japanese tossed mortar and machine gun fire, but received terrible losses to the commandos, forced to pull back up Walpole track. The next day Warfe ordered Winterflood's platoon to make a frontal assault, but quickly found themselves pinned down by machine gun fire and during the night received a heavy counter attack that forced them to dig in. The Japanese continued to block the way, covering their withdrawal further east, but all the mayhem prompted General Savige to relieve the commandos by tossing up companies C and B of the 2/5th who adopted the name Bennett force as they were led by Captain Cam Bennett. The rest of the 2/5th marched up the Buigap. Meanwhile General Herring was dealing with a supply issue for the 3rd Australian division. The 3rd division was too far from the coast and thus had been relying on supply via airdrops, which we have seen during this series to not be particularly accurate and quite inadequate. The supply problems mounted more when the decision was made to target Lae as such a campaign required building up reserve dumps. Warfe's men were critically low on supplies; the 58/59th had nearly used up all the supplies they received, being brought up via the Missim Track and from airdrops. Getting further and further away from the source of supplies and with declining carrier capacity, Warfe's men were reaching starvation point. Further back, Companies A and C of the 2/6th battalion got drafted the job of moving the supplies from Mubo to Buigap creek. General Herring considered it extremely difficult, but not impossible to maintain further units in the Salamaua area, if they were closer to the coasts. To solve the problem General Herring designated Tambu Bay as a new coastal base for supplies and it would also help as an artillery position. And thus, the 3rd battalion, 162nd regiment of Major Archibald Roosevelt landed at Nassau Bay back on July 12th commencing with their coastal advance. They were accompanied by Brigadier General Ralph Coane's artillery that had landed prior to them. Yet their advance would begin in an extremely confused and chaotic manner. The question of command was at the core of the issue, General Fuller had decided to separate units such as Archibald Roosevelts from the MacKechnie Force, and thus they were now placed under the command of the Coane Force. General Herring was forced to intervene, placing the Coane Force under General Savige. At the same time, Colonel MacKechnie was relieved of his command because Fuller felt that he had favored the Australians over the Americans. To dig depper into this mess, what occurred was General Savige and Colonel MacKechnie were both unaware that two-thirds of the 162nd regiment had been allocated to the Coane Force when General Herring sent the a confusing message to try and clarify things “all units MACK force are under operational control of 3 Aust Div”. Troubles began at Moten ordered Major Roosevelt to advance north, but Roosevelt had also been told by General Fuller that he was not under Australian command. Thus Roosevelt bluntly replied to Moten “For your information I obey no orders except those from my immediate superior”. Then MacKechnie tried to smooth things over with Moten when he was informed of Fuller's position. He apologized for Roosevelt's message, and tried to speak about how great all the Australian/American cooperation was going. Fuller and Herring then tried to clarify the situation by placing the Coane Force under General Savige, but Fuller also decided to dismiss MacKechnie, mostly because he had relinquished command of his men to the Australians and thus had failed to protect American interests. As I say on my personnel channel, often when talking about China's Warlords in the 1920's, this is some kindergarten bullshit. Back to the action at hand, the Coane Force was being aided by a Papuan company who were scouting ahead of the Americans. They managed to confirm that Tambu Bay and the Dot Inlet were occupied and fortified by the Japanese. A platoon of the 5th Sasebo SNLF and the 3rd battalion, 66th regiment were holding a position on Tambu Bay while the remnants of the 3rd battalion, 102nd regiment were on a ridge overlooking the bay, which would later be named Roosevelt Ridge. On July 18th, Roosevelt led the troops with Companies L and I taking the lead, guided by two Papuan platoons. L Company with a Papuan company advanced along an inland track while K Company likewise did so along the coast. K Companies's Papuan guides hit a Japanese outpost south of Boisi on July 18th. On the morning of the 20th, the Papuan platoon managed to kill four Japanese before K Company helped destroy the outpost. By the 20th they seized Boisi and Roosevelt with the others approached the Tambu bay. Roosevelt had Coane's artillery support, they brought up four 25 pounders of the 2/6th Australian field regiment originally placed at Nassau Bay along with 2 batteries of the 218th American field artillery battalion, 8 75mm guns from north Salus, a battery of the 205th American field artillery battalion and 4 105mm guns. Under the cover the artillery they attacked the enemy, but they were met with heavy mortar fire coming from Roosevelt Ridge. Roosevelt Ridge extended westwards from the sea for nearly 2000 yards, forming kind of bulwark that shielded the northern end of Tambu Bay. Thus Tambu Bay could not be secured unless the ridge was taken first. The Australian broadcasting commission correspondent, Peter Hemery described the ridge like this “a piece of old style razer blade jutting into the sea”. According to some Japanese sources they had this to say of it “The area around Boisi had a lay of land most suitable to the arrest of the enemy advancing northward along the coast” General Nakano had also decided to reinforce the ridge with 250 men of the 1st battalion, 115th regiment, but of course this came at the coast of Salamaua's defense. By this point the bulk of the 102nd regiment was at the Malolo-buang coastal area and the bulk of the 115th regiment, the 2nd Maizuru SNLF, two companies of the 5th Sasebo SNLF and the 14th field artillery regiment were at Salamaua, around 150 men in total. On the other side, after the fall of Mubo Brigadier Moten had the men advance north. The Bennet Force took over Goodview Junction; Companies A and D of the 2/5th advanced to Mount Tambu. Mount Tambu was the highest feature along the route between Mubo and Salamaua. It consisted of a series of razorback ridges covered in dense jungle, ideal for camouflage pillboxes. Its area was defended by roughly 700 Japanese from the 2nd and 3rd battalions of the 66th regiment led by Lt Colonel Fukuzo Kimura and Major Sakai Sugiyama. On July 16th, Captain Mick Walter led 60 men of Company A up the steep track leading to the south crest of Mount Tambu. Walter led the men to storm the two forward knolls, taking the Japanese by complete surprise. The two knolls were captured, but during the night the Japanese counterattacked in force. The Japanese crawled up the knolls through some heavy undergrowth before they unleashed mortars and mountain gun fire. Walters men however had captured some Japanese pillboxes upon the two knolls and thus the turn tables. 8 counterattacks were tossed at Walters men, each repulsed with heavy losses, around 39 casualties for the Australians and 350 for the Japanese. The following day, D company came up to help the Australian defenders, bringing much needed mortars. They dug in on a knoll around 300 yards back on the track. Alongside D company also came much needed supplies and an additional platoon to reinforce his men who he deployed on his western flank. On July 18th, Walter ordered an advance going northwest in an attempt to secure the southern portion of Mount Tambu. The advance was spearheaded by Lance Corporal Jackson who alongside his comrades tossed grenades into a Japanese pillbox. Jackson then stormed inside killing 3 Japanese with this Tommy gun. Alongside Jackson, mortar and mountain gun fire aided Walters men to gain 80 additional yards, securing the southern portion of Mount Tambu. They could advance no further however as it became much more difficult from this position as the Japanese basically were encircling them upon razer back ridge to their north. Walter would write later on “we dug in on the new ground and shortened our perimeter to the narrowing plateau”. For this action the Australians paid with 6 lives, 13 wounded while the Japanese lost 82. At this point Walter had D company with one of his platoon holding the western flank; A company held the northern knoll and two platoons from D company held the eastern knolls. The Japanese had been devastated, losing hundreds of men and allied artillery was becoming a nightmare. Captain Newman's C Company of the 162nd battalion had come to a junction of the Buigap and Bui Eo. From there a reconnaissance patrol found suitable artillery positions northwest of the junction. With the help of native carriers and 80 men of the 2/6th battalion, two guns were hauled over the Buigap track and by July 17th another 4 guns of the American 218th battalion were hauled up from the southern arm of the Bitoi river to Green Hill. From these positions the allies could smash multiple Japanese defensive positions. General Nakano realized Mount Tambu was an essential component of General Muroya's defensive line so he sent the remainder of the 3rd battalion, 66th regiment to reinforce Colonel Araki's men. Then during the early hours of July 19th a large earth tremor startled the Australian defenders. It was the prelude to an assault led by Captain Kunizo Hatsugai's 9th company of the 66th regiment. They had crept up silently managing to get behind the southern knolls then suddenly charged up under the cover of darkness. But the defenders had their guard up and were not taken by surprise. A Bren gunner managed to knock out one of the Japanese raiders machine guns with a lucky hit in the dark. As the Japanese scrambled to try and recover it they were met with fire causing severe casualties. The Japanese surprise attack was a failure, forcing them to withdraw by first light, leaving 21 dead across the knoll. While this raid was occuring, Walters men were also repelling a series of attacks against the Northern Knoll. During these attacks, Walter was injured. Luckily for Walter and his company, they were relieved on the 19th by D Company. Another American unit, C Company of the 1st battalion, 162nd regiment led by Captain Delmar Newman also arrived to take up a position on the southern knolls. Until july 23rd, the Australians limited their actions to patrols. On the 20th, Bennet led a patrol making contact with a strong Japanese position on the Walpole track; Another company led by Morse found a Japanese position in the Goodview area dug within 100 yards of their own. Meanwhile the Japanese also limited their actions to a few patrols proding Mount Tambu for weaknesses. On July 23rd Moten ordered the 2/5th battalion to attack the remaining Japanese positions on the Tambu Knoll, but it was the most heavily fortified yet. Basically it was like a castle keep, complete with a ravine for a moat, near vertical walls and deep tunnels going through the knoll. Mount Tambu's peak held 10 log reinforce bunkers connected by the tunnels which could shelter half a battalion or so. They also had a chain of weapon pits set up on lower ledges. Later on when investigating the entire system, the allies found weapon pits to be around 4 logs thick, interconnected by crawl trenches. Many of these weapon puts had been carefully sited within the roots of large trees, making them impervious to allied artillery fire. The tunnel entrances were dug into the side of the peak directly behind the defensive positions, allowing the defenders to storm out from their shelters underground within seconds. It was these kind of ingenious defensive works that would be built upon later on in the war to create absolute nightmares for the allies. Moten had not carried out a thorough reconnaissance of the Japanese positions prior to ordering the attack and thus many of his subordinates elected to make a frontal assault instead of encircling them. D company took the center for the frontal attack while to the left were the 16th platoon led by Sergeant Alvin ‘Hungry' Williams and the 18th platoon led by Lt Bernard Leonads; and A company advanced along a Caffins track heading for the western flank of Mount Tambu to try and cut off the main Japanese supply route going back to Komiatum. 15 minutes before they charged, Australian and American artillery and mortars fired upon Mount Tambu. Two Australian mountain guns fired 90 rounds while the 4 75mm American guns fired 60 per gun from Green hill. D company began their attack around midday, trying to drive a wedge between two lines of pillboxes. Corporal John Smith laid cover fire as Captain Lin Cameron crept forward, getting within 15 yards of the pill boxes on the left side of the track. Cameron counted around 7 pill boxes in two lines of defense going across both sides of the track. The steep slopes on both sides gave little venues of approach, allowing around just a platoon at a time. There was also sharpened bamboo pickets on the left flank, leading Cameron to believe that an attack was expected there. The Japanese knowingly let two platoons reach their line of forward pillboxes before unleashing hell upon them. The casualties were terrible. As Cameron recounted, “we were within 20 meters of the enemy bunkers before all hell let loose”. One of the men in the forward sections was killed outright, Cameron was wounded, his right elbow was shattered by a machine gun bullet. As he saw his men hesitate, he screamed out “forward! Get stuck into them!” With his right arm now useless and his eyesight dimming, Cameron handed command over to Lt Martin. Despite the horror, the Australians pressed on. Corporal Carey led his depleted platoon forward in a great dash and swept the outer ring of the Japanese pillboxes. On his left were Leonards men who stormed two pillboxes before heavy enfilade fire pinned them down. Then the 17th platoon led by Corporal John Smith charged up Mount Tambu from behind with their bayonets fixed. Smith screamed out “follow me!” as he charged. 3 other men out of the 11 managed to keep up with Smith, but soon Japanese grenades began to rain down on them. The grenades caught them just as they passed a third line of pillboxes. Smith was hit, but he kept charging and when he reached the peak of Mount Tambu with his back to the enemy he screamed “come on boys! come on boys!”. Without additional support and with no indication A company were making progress over on the left flank, the 4 men on the peak were forced to withdraw. The gallant Smith had to be dragged down and would die from severe wounds two days later. Smith was decorated for bravery in Syria in 1941, when he cleared out 3 machine gun nests at a roadblock and despite being wounded during the battle of Wau he still had gas left in the tank for some more. Scouts had made their way towards the Tambu saddle track and spotted Japanese soldiers, around 125 of them a full company or so. The scouts quickly realized they were outnumbered, thus when the artillery began to open up and Walter's company moved in for the attack across the saddle, no sooner then they started the enemy halted them in their tracks. Walter had no choice but to withdraw around 500 yards south east as the Japanese were too strong. Walter's inability to make progress in the west ultimately ruined the entire attack. Despite the defeat, Companies A and D had done very well against such a heavily fortified position. Meanwhile, Warfe and his men were marching when they discovered Ambush Knoll had come back under the hands of some Japanese from the 2nd battalion, 66th regiment. On July 15th, Warfes commandos launched an attack, with C Platoon performing a frontal assault along the narrow ridge top track. There were 16 men in the attack and they found themselves face to face with well dug in Japanese. The Japanese were behind a bamboo barricade with some pillboxes scattered about. The platoon got within 50 feet of the main barricade, but the Japanese fire was too much and casualties were mounting quickly. Meanwhile B Platoon was maneuvering around the Japanese eastern flank. At 5:30 B Platoon began attacking the eastern side of the knoll. The men got behind an enemy pillbox covering the track from Orodubi, but the Japanese quickly saw the Australians and began tossing grenades at them. Despite the resistance, B Platoon managed cut off the Japanese supply line to Ambush Knoll. With their supply lines cut the Japanese were forced to withdraw With Ambush Knoll back under allied control, Brigadier Hammer ordered A company of the 58/59th battalion to depart Gwaibolom and attack Orodubi from its southern flank. Even with the help of the 58/59th company, the commando's yet again failed to dislodge the Japanese. On the night of July 19th, fresh troops of the 1st company, 80th battalion used the light of the full moon to come up the ridge. This became a staging point for them to attack Ambush Knoll, seeing artillery fire beginning in the morning to support their attack. Warfe's commandos were manning the trenches on Ambush Knoll, turning the tables on the Japanese and inflicting heavy casualties upon them. The Japanese were forced to retreat. The next day Warfe reinforced Ambush Knoll with two Vickers guns, which gave the Japanese a nasty surprise when they attacked again. On the 20th, the Japanese opened fire with mortars and artillery before charging the ridge. They managed to get as far as to cut the Australian lines of communication, but were ultimately repealed once again. Over 14 consecutive attacks would be made on the 20th, and even more on the 21st, but it all came to nothing, Warfe's commandos held their ground. Facing such pressure from the Japanese, Hammer still felt the greater weight of their attention was directed at Bobdubi and not towards Tambu, believing it to all be a consequence of Moton's lack of progress. General Savige decided to order Motens 2/6th battalion to take responsibility over Bobdubi ridge. The 2/6th then came across the Japanese rear near the slopes of Ambush Knoll and began harassing them. On the 22nd the Japanese tried yet again to attack Ambush Knoll, but were beaten back firmly, forcing them to finally withdraw to Sugarcane Ridge. By July 23rd, Warfes' exhausted commandos earned a relief by the 2/6th and were sent to relieve A company at Gwaibolom, while A company advanced north. The 2/6th likewise would advance north. But now we are moving away from the troubles of New Guinea and heading back up north to the frigid Aleutians. After the successful seizure of Attu, now Admiral Kinkaid and General Buckner needed to plan the invasion of Kiska. Kiska was the last Japanese bulwark in the Aleutians and held an incredible underground city. There were miles of tunnels, buried ammunition dumps, barracks, 3 hospitals, dental clinics, mess halls, machine shops, warehouses, photo labs, telephone rooms, all shoved and shored with wood. Ventilation pipes connected the maze of caves and tunnels, with Japanese troops wearing great fur lined coats busy at work. The Americans had experienced hell, on Attu, over 2872 Japanese had been killed or committed suicide, just 28 men were captured and it cost 549 american lives, 1148 wounded and nearly another 2000 ill or battered by harsh climate. The American leadership expected Kiska to be another hellscape and did not want to come at it lightly. The 7th division led by Brigadier General Archibald Arnolrd, Buckner's 4th regiment, the 87th Mountain infantry regiment, the 13th Canadian Brigade, consisting of the 6th Canadian division led by Major General George Pearkes, the Canadian Fusiliers regiment, the 1st battalion of Winnipeg grenadiers, the Rocky Mountain rangers regiment and e Regiment de Hull along with the 1st Special Service Force led by Colonel Robert Frederick were to be part of the invasion of Kiska, codenamed Operation Cottage. Unfortunately, the actual invasion will not be happening in this episode, you will actually have to wait weeks for that one, but I just so happened to have recently done a podcast with a Canadian Military Historian named Brad St.Croix from the Youtube channel OTD Military History, the same gentleman who I interviewed for this series about the battle of Hong Kong. The podcast we recently did was on the Canadian experience of the Pacific War and the battle of Kiska is 1/3rd of it, so if you are, impatient and want to learn some neat stuff about how Canadians had to change their entire military organization and use American equipment for the battle of Kiska, check out my Youtube channel, the Pacific War channel for the full episode. Now the last time we spoke about Kiska, the Japanese were forced to perform a bit of a miracle to evacuate their boys. After Attu had fallen, Rear Admiral Akiyama Monzo alongside 6000 men were ordered to evacuate Kiska. To try and do this, the Japanese began by sending 13 I-class submarines of the 1st submarine squadron of Rear Admiral Kouda Takeo. Despite these Type C submarines being enormous in size, they could only carry around 150 men per trip, thus it would have took 40 successful journey's to evacuate the entire Kiska garrison. With the US Navy fully decked out with sonar, this was not going to be a walk in the park. The efforts had begun on May 27th and by July, the submarines had managed to get 800 men safely back to Japan, but lost 300 due to american attacks. Meanwhile Admiral Giffen had a considerable armada to work with consisting of a trio of older battleships; the Mississippi, Idaho and New Mexico, a quintet of cruisers; Louisville, Portland, San Francisco, Santa Fe and Wichita and 9 destroyers. He was ordered to bombard Kiska who already had been smashed with aerial attacks all throughout June and early July. On July 6th, Giffen steamed towards Kiska with 4 cruisers and 4 destroyers and bombarded the island for 22nd minutes causing a handful of casualties. It was not all that impressive, but it convinced Admiral Kawase that the Americans were about to invade Kiska at any moment.Admiral Kawase Shiro realized the futility of the submarine effort and was forced to come up with a new plan. Kawase came up with a bold plan, he was going to wait for a night when a thick fog was occurring and would take a surface fleet to sneak over into the Aleutians to assault enemy warships and evacuate all the remaining men on Kiska in a single go. To be blunt, it was a dumb idea. The American warships were equipped with radar that would pick up any surface ship with ease despite any type of fog, but what was about to occur can only be described as spectacular and bizarre. Rear Admiral Kimura, the victor of the battle of the bismarck sea, would lead the force and he had at his disposal Destroyer Squadron 1: consisting of Yugumo, Kazagumo, Asagumo, Akigumo, Usugumo, Hibiki (one of my favorite whiskeys), Shimakaze, Samidare, Naganami, Wakaba, Hatsushimo and light cruisers Abukuma and Kiso. In close support of these there was also a covering force consisting of heavy cruisers Nachi, Maya, light cruiser Tama and destroyers Nokaze and Namikaze. The large convoy force departed from Paramushiro on July 7th with Takeo's 1st submarine squadron performing reconnaissance. The covering force departed Paramushiro on July 10th and by July 12th the fleet was around 500 miles south of Kiska. When they took up this assembly position, the sailors were in despair to see the fog was quite low. While it did not matter for warships with radar, Kimura knew full well what allied aircraft could do to his forces if they were not better concealed. Thus he elected to wait until the fog reappaered to cover his force. But the weather did not change, the skies remained clear forcing him to head back on July 15th. Meanwhile on Kiska, Rear Admiral Monzo was frantically ordering his troops to lay out a road from the underground base to the harbor piers to help facilitate the impending evacuation. All of the Japanese on Kiska felt an impending doom placed upon them. If the Americans landed first, it was all but over for them. Luckily, Japanese weather stations reported a dense fog would emerge over Kiska by July 25th, and unlike here in Montreal Canada, I guess these weather reporters are accurate. Kimura once again departed Paramushiro on July 22nd, accompanied by Admiral Kawase aboard cruiser Tama. Yet a few days prior, on July 19th, Admiral Kinkaid had ordered Admiral Giffen to bombard Kiska again. This time Giffen took a two pronged naval attack force consisting of battleships Mississippi and Idaho, cruisers Portland, Wichita, San Francisco, Louisville, Santa Fe and destroyers Abner Read, Farragut, Monaghan, Perry, Aylwin, Bache, Hughes, Morris and Mustin. Giffen's force reached Kiska on July 22nd and his ships smashed the island with 424000 lbs of high explosive shells. Just an hour later, a PBY suddenly detached with her radar 7 radar pips southwest of Attu. The PBY maintained contact for around 6 hours before low fuel forced her to return to base. These radar pips alarmed Admiral Kinkaid which was being reported in conjunction with a massive increase in Japanese radio activity on Kiska. Kinkaid believed a major Japanese fleet had just entered Aleutian waters, most likely a reinforcement convoy. Kinkaid immediately ordered Rear Admirals Giffen and Griffin to intercept the suspected enemy. However, by doing this he had also done something extremely favorable for the Japanese, he had left Kiska Harbor open and unguarded. Kinkaid dispatched a quartet of PT boats to try and provide a makeshift blockade, but the terrible weather forced the smaller vessels to return to port as trying to dash over to Kiska would probably see them all sunk. While this was occurring, Kimura's ships were traveling through the dense fog separately. The fog prevented the Americans from intercepting them initially, and having failed to make contact with the enemy, Kinkaid became nervous the Japanese might escape the blockade and ordered the force to return to Kiska at maximum speed on July 25th. The American ships dutifully turned back while Kinkaid sent the Oiler Pecos out to meet them for refueling. By dusk of the 25th, the American ships were around 90 miles from Kiska, when the fog had all but disappeared showing a cloudless sky. Kimura's vessels seeing their fog betray them, all reunited as a single force, now bearing 400 miles south of the American warships. At precisely 12:43am on July 26th the American warships picked up 7 strong radar pips around 15 miles northeast. It was Mississippi's SG radar that first picked them up, the American destroyers were actually unable to detect any pips on their radar due to the curvature of the ocean's surface at such a distance. The New Mexico, Portland, San Francisco and Wichita began picking up the same radar pips. The radar pips zigzagged across the sea surface, changing direction in much the same way ships attempting to evade detection might. The ships were being detected all at different angles, verifying to the Americans there were physical presences of some kind occupying definite points in space. On top of this, the immobile radar signature of Kiska's volcano at a range of 78 miles appeared clearly the entire time, verifying the validity of the pips moving with a fixed landmark. The radar pips converged 22,000 yards ahead of the Americans forcing them to spring into action. Admiral Giffen called for the entire fleet to turn left to intercept the pips on their southerly heading and in the hopes of foiling a possible torpedo attack. All of the American ships turned their guns to fire salvo's into the night. Great flame lances stabbed into the darkness as destroyers launched volleys of torpedoes and radar plotters frantically calculated salvo corrections. For 67 minutes the Americans tracked the 7 radar pips firing wildly at them. At 1:30am the Mississippi's log recorded zig-zags and a 20 degree course change, but not a single sailor saw an enemy ship. Cruisers San Francisco and Santa Fe registered shell splashes, but never an enemy target. 75 miles over on Kiska, the Japanese were watching a spectacle. From their point of view it was like a night-time light show over the horizon. By 2:22am the radar pips thinned, faded and vanished completely. During the morning surface ships and aircraft fanned out looking for wreckage, ships, floating papers, oil slick, anything to indicate something was even out there! The American warships reported no return fire, it was as if they faced ghosts. With a lack of fuel and ammunition, the US ships began refueling on the 28th and resumed their blockade of Kiska. What famously has become known as the battle of the Pips left the US Navy with a mystery that remains unsolved to this very day. The radar equipment was operating at times where there was a cloudless night with no fog, zero reasons for false radar echoes. An Aleutian crab fishing captain named Captain George Fulton may have solved the mystery in 1991 when he managed to duplicate the radar signatures observed during the battle by using his radar on a natural phenomenon common to the area. He presented his findings to the Alaska War Symposium in 1993 in a letter “I […] duplicated the Battle of the Pips using color radar. Sure enough there were blips on the tube and their density changed from red to orange to yellow and finally to black, providing an exact replication of the Battle of the Pips. What you described fits exactly the […] pattern of dense flocks of mutton birds or dusky shearwaters […] As mutton birds fly they veer left and right. This accounts for the zigzagging that was reported on the radar logs” Captain Fulton further went on to say how these huge flocks continue until they see large schools of fish, such as pollack. When the birds see them they begin landing on the sea surface then dive for their prey. This maneuver causes them to vanish from radar screens entirely. In the 1990s Aleutian fishing crews use this trait to locate large concentration of pollack, identifying the blips by their zigzagging motion and cast their nets accordingly. Were the Japanese saved by shearwater birds? Another answer came from the US Navy who officially stated that atmospheric echoes, a sort of phenomena caused the radar pips, that explanation has been highly contested. Its also been speculated that the American radar pips were 7 IJN submarines running reconnaissance. What we do know is Kimura made it to Kiska on the 28th undetected and unharmed while the US warships were enroute miles back. No American ships were anywhere near Kiska on the 28th. Admiral Kimura pulled the ships into Kiska anchorage and evacuated the entire remaining forces on the island, all 5183 men onto 8 vessels all within 55 minutes. The Japanese soldiers made sure to spend their last moments on the island setting up a plethora of booby traps. Four days later Kimura and Kawase were back in Paramushiro, successfully evacuating Kiska without firing a single shot. The Americans had no idea the evacuation occurred. In the words of one disgruntled American Colonel after the Kiska ordeal ““How I hate those bastards but I've got to give them credit for the most masterly evacuation by any army at any time and I'm not forgetting Dunkirk” I would like to take this time to remind you all that this podcast is only made possible through the efforts of Kings and Generals over at Youtube.

Steve Leonard, of StephenDavidLeonard.com, joins me today to talk about Dad Guilt, parenting, gains and losses, identity, and living the abundant life. Steve and his wife, Lisa (of Lisa Leonard Designs) are the parents of two sons: David, 21 and Matthias, 19. Their world was changed dramatically when David was born with a rare genetic disorder, Cornelia DeLang Syndrome. You can read about it here. I first met the Leonards when they moved to San Luis Obispo when Steve became our Family and College Pastor. When Lisa's jewelry took off, Steve then moved out of formal ministry to help manage their fast-growing business. He discusses the challenges he faced in changing roles and parenting a boy becoming a man and moving off to college as well as one who will never move out and move on. Each son provides much joy in the Leonard's lives and we are blessed to know them in our little community. GIVEAWAY - Two Roman Cross Coin necklaces for two winners! To Enter: FOLLOW STEVE AND ME AND TAG A FRIEND Some Steve gems: I want to be someone who thinks "There you are!" vs "Here I am!" Being a dad has helped me understand God's heart a little bit more. We actually live between the first page and the last page of the Bible. Dad Guilt is real and less talked about, perhaps, because we are men. Living by "ought's and should's" can hinder the abundant life that God promised in Scripture. More than anything else, our son David has taught me that I am made in God's image and that is my worth.

This year, the Black Girl's Guide to Surviving Menopause plans to deepen our intergenerational narrative shift work by co-creating peer learning exchanges to normalize the menopause experience of Black people in the UK, New York, Toronto, and Puerto Rico. We are also co-hosting intergenerational menopause storytelling events called "Orisii" ( "pairs" in Yoruba). The peer learning and the Orisii dinner are being offered in partnership with community-based women-led organizations. We identified each of these locations because of their strong Black diasporic communities, we have local partners on the ground, or we are seeking to connect with more partners on the ground. In addition to the events we co-host, BGG2SM is documenting our learning during our travels, introducing how each partnering organization works to normalize menopause for Black and Queer communities and sharing stories from participants about their experiences with their bodies, identities, and relationships. So.... our podcasts in Season 5 will sound a little different. Think if "This American Life" was centering on Black intergenerational menopausal stories.... LET'S GO! This spring, we traveled to the UK to partner with Karen Arthur, fashion creative, model, menopause advocate, and creator of the UK-based podcast Menopause Whilst Black centering the menopause stories of Black women in the UK. We hosted two intergenerational gatherings, a peer learning dinner with other Black women, femmes, and gender-expansive people engaged in work in the UK focused on women's wellness, gender equity, mental health, menopause, and aging. We also co-hosted our first Orisii (Pairs) intergenerational dinner in St. Leonards-on-Sea (Sussex). Each guest attended a delicious dinner with a special "plus one" guest and was guided through conversations about bodily autonomy, body sovereignty, pleasure, identity, and mental health using the Say More deck.

Dr. Leonard and his partner moved to Seattle, Washington, in 1983, where he began a private practice which he maintained for thirty-five years. He chose Seattle in part due to his belief the region would allow two men to legally create a family through the use of surrogacy, something largely unchallenged by gay men in the eighties. He has two daughters, now adults, and one grandchild. Howard and his husband, Robert, live in Palm Springs, California. Writing has become an important part of his life since retiring from clinical practice.

For those wondering how a band like Slowly Slowly made their way to Dyingscene.com I would like to tell you to sit down and stfu. Let me introduce you to Australia's best-hidden gem and in my opinion worst kept secret. They let us know about their snakes and crazy spiders. But dropped the ball on this band, what a shame. So how do I know about them? Well, for those wondering. I was actually born in Brisbane, QLD. But my family moved to Denmark when I was a child and the rest is history. But between the albums St. Leonards and Race Car Blues, I stumbled upon them during a midnight catch-up with my aunt in Australia and fell head over heels with their sound. But in November of '22, Slowly Slowly released their fourth album Daisy Chain. So, once again, as it's become a daily thing, I decided to annoy to living shit out of Jay and he allowed me to interview the band. So here's Ben and I talking a bunch of things! I'd like to thank Ben for being an amazing friend and vibing with me at 1 am.

On the 1st of December, 1955, Rosa Parks boarded a bus in Montgomery, Alabama. After taking her seat in the section designated for people of colour, Rosa was asked to move for white passengers that wanted to sit down. She refused, and was arrested. This incident has become one of the most infamous examples of segregation in the U.S., and Mrs. Parks has gained an iconic status in the civil rights movement. A lifetime of activism and campaigning earned her the title, ‘the first lady of civil rights'. On today's episode, Dan is joined by Reverend H. H. Leonards, author of Rosa Parks: Beyond the Bus. Mrs. Parks was a guest in her home for nearly a decade, and she recounts for us her memories of this extraordinary person.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.If you'd like to learn more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe to History Hit today!Download the History Hit app from the Google Play store.Download the History Hit app from the Apple Store.

H.H. Leonards, author, Founder of the O Museum in The Mansion in Washington, DC, Co-Founder of the nonprofit organization 51StepsToFreedom.org, and a close personal friend of civil rights hero Rosa Parks, details why every history book is plain wrong about the Montgomery bus boycott, and Parks' role as a silent, uncredited founder of the National Organization for Women (NOW).Hear the full interview with H.H. Leonards in Episode 22 of Let's Talk Legacy.
What life lessons can we learn from Rosa Parks beyond the bus? Today's esteemed guest, H.H. Leonards, relates insights she learned during the time Rosa Parks lived in her home. H.H. Leonards is a wife, mother of three, and founder of O Museum in The Mansion in Washington, DC, where Mrs. Rosa Parks, her friends, and business associates lived with her, at no cost, as part of The Mansion and O Museum's Heroes-In-Residence Program. Throughout her professional career, Leonards has focused on making it economically feasible for corporations to leverage their philanthropic contributions for their benefit—and the benefit of society. She has tirelessly worked to encourage companies and individuals to translate their personal visions into a mission of service. As a consultant to Ogilvy & Mather, she helped them create (and make real) cause-related marketing for their clients. A staunch advocate of social justice through music and storytelling, she is Co-Founder of 51StepsToFreedom.org, a non-profit organization that is developing a city-wide trail that traces America's struggle for equality and freedom. Leonards said she didn't initially recognize Rosa Parks as a civil rights figure, but instead took the 81-year-old guest into her home as someone who needed a place to recover from a horrific assault. Yet even before she learned Parks' historical role, the impact of Rosa's faith and character made a profound and unforgettable impression on H's life. Leonards shares the following ways Rosa Parks modeled a life of eternal resonance and wisdom: Rosa withdrew to heal before speaking publicly. Loving others remained her utmost priority in all she said and did, even including how she considered her appearance. Rosa exuded a powerful and nearly tangible presence of grace and love, even when silent. She cherished opportunities to enjoy moments of silence with others and listened beyond words to hear her neighbors' hearts. Parks exemplified the art and blessing of forgiveness impeccably. She taught everyone to live an exemplary life so that no one could use your past against you. Leonards notes that Rosa Parks' time is now, just as much as it was in 1950 when she refused to give up her seat on the bus. Leonards explained that Parks accomplished more in the final decade of her life than in all the years prior. Rosa learned to swim at age 90 and had children teach her to use a computer in her late 80's. Parks received the congressional medal of honor and the presidential and accepted them only in order to share her mission and vision. She fought for human rights, not just for a single group's rights. Rosa Parks fought for equality and unifying hearts upon common ground. She helped found the organization NOW for women. Rosa spent hours at church every Sunday and served as a deacon there. Rosa overflowed with humility and humanity. She invited people of all races to accompany her to her regular attendance at the AME Church. H related how others felt Rosa's love even when they didn't recognize her as a public figure. Rosa died penniless because she prioritized giving above her own comfort. She gave all she earned to others. Leonards describes not realizing Rosa Parks' historical significance for the first three years of residing with her as a blessing. She also did not recognize Willis Edwards, the gentleman who brought her to live there, as the head of the NAACP. H encourages listeners to adopt the message of Rosa Parks and become disciples of love and of Jesus. Living with Rosa Parks grew H as a disciple to the extent of stripping away unimportant things. Rosa modeled compassion and forgiveness. After surviving multiple assaults, Parks emerged with undiminished grace. Rosa demonstrated reliance upon faith to forgive when it would be impossible to do so in human strength. She refused to respond rashly, but carefully thought over her words and responses. When the driver of the bus passed away, the press asked Rosa about her reaction. Parks thought for a while and then stated she was sure his family misses him. Connect with H.H.

H.H. Leonards, author, Founder of the O Museum in The Mansion in Washington, DC, Co-Founder of the nonprofit organization 51StepsToFreedom.org, and a close personal friend of civil rights hero Rosa Parks, details why every history book is plain wrong about the Montgomery bus boycott, how Parks' relation to race and civil rights was much more complex than black and white, the prophetic statement that Parks lived by which has now come true, and how "ego" is really an acronym, plus the way she converted a KKK member to a friend, her role as a silent, uncredited founder of the National Organization for Women (NOW), an unexpected connection to Prince and the Eagles, and the power of Park's continued legacy.
There are many people who have been prominent in our history yet have been hidden from textbooks, from conversations, and from praise and appropriate adulation. Tayo's guest today, H.H. Leonards, got to know one of these people, Rosa Parks, in the latter years of her life and has now written a book shedding light on this amazing woman. H.H. opens the episode by telling us how Mrs. Parks came to live with her in The Mansion on O Street after being assaulted in her home in Detroit and how H.H's vision for the mansion made it the perfect place for Mrs. Parks to recover. She also explains that she didn't know then who Mrs. Parks was (and wouldn't for three years) because of a lack of education about civil rights and how she's now driven to make sure people get to know Mrs. Parks' heart and soul.Next, Tayo asks H.H. what Mrs. Parks might have thought about the divisions we see in society today. H.H. shares Mrs. Parks' prescient belief that the laws would roll back if we didn't spend time meeting with people who don't share our beliefs and how she put herself out there to try to change people's hearts and teach them that love is all that matters. Together, they also discuss Mrs. Parks' belief in education and lifelong learning before H.H. closes the show by sharing that she uses her difference to make a difference by following Mrs. Parks' wise words on forgiving others and yourself.Episode Highlights:How Mrs. Parks came to live with H.H.

Abdul Abdullah is one of Australia's leading artists and we were lucky enough to meet and interview him at his studio in St. Leonards, shortly before he moves to Bangkok, Thailand. 'Abdul Abdullah is an Australian multi-disciplinary artist. As a self-described ‘outsider amongst outsiders' with a post-9/11 mindset, his practice is primarily concerned with the experience of the ‘other'. Abdullah's projects have engaged with different marginalized minority groups and he is particularly interested in the disjuncture between perception/projection of identity and the reality of lived experience. Identifying as a Muslim and having both Malay/Indonesian and convict/settler Australian heritage, Abdullah occupies a precarious space in the political discourse that puts him at odds with popular definitions. He sees himself as an artist working in the peripheries of a peripheral city, in a peripheral country, orbiting a world on the brink. His work has been censored by politicians who have accused him of attacking Australian culture, and once a member of the Christian Democratic party wrote that he wants to “convert young Australians” and that he “worships a moon god”.'Abdul is represented at Yavuz Gallery, Sydney, and internationally. Thanks, Abdul for your time, we really appreciate it.
On this episode of the Life in the Carolinas podcast, Carl sits down with Craig DeLucia, CEO at The Leonard G. Herring Family Foundation and President and CFO at NC Tech Paths. Craig speaks on the crucial difference between charity and philanthropy. To him, being charitable is writing a check to help a good organization do well, whereas philanthropy involves human capital—direct involvement—in helping the community or organization solve problems. Discussing his role at The Leonard G. Herring Family Foundation in Wilkes County, Craig believes that the challenges presented by the pandemic over the past couple of years have heightened the urgency of his work at the nonprofit. Fueling Craig's passion for his role is the fact that he had worked directly with the Leonards' as their CPA before their passing. The foundation supports a variety of projects from coast to coast, with a focus on impacting the quality of life of the citizens of Wilkes County via expanding access to education. “Our work is honoring the legacy of Leonard and Rose Herring—two incredible human beings—and their service to the community in Wilkes County, as well as their family's desire to impact their communities where they live.” Another nonprofit led by Craig is NC Tech Paths which aims to “break the urban world divide in the digital economy.” While The Leonard G. Herring Family Foundation aims to equal the playing field with regards to education, NC Tech Paths is a logical extension of sorts, as it works to provide greater access to technology jobs to young professionals in an economy where virtually every company today has technology needs. Craig says that part of succeeding in the modern economy when it comes to attracting and retaining a workforce is access to quality-of-life amenities. With greater access to education and the technological skills required to thrive in the new normal, those quality-of-life amenities naturally flow into the community. Looking to the future, Craig sees his philanthropic collaborations with amazing organizations as serving as a model for the rest of North Carolina. In his words: “We are living a case study that will be written about in the most positive ways for how a community can come together and roll up its sleeves and do the hard work to make it the best place it can be.”

Rosa Parks Beyond the Bus: Life, Lessons, and Leadership (R. H. Boyd, 2022) is a collection of inspiring and instructive memories compiled from the decade that Mrs. Parks was a guest in author H.H. Leonard's Washington, DC home. During those years, Mrs. Leonards was able to know the heart, mind, and spirit of the woman who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama city bus on December 1, 1955. The author shares her remembrances, both delightful and somber, in a way that offers readers an intimate and personal glimpse into the personhood of Mrs. Parks. Mrs. Parks is a seminal point in the history of civil, human, and women's rights. Her story, as told through the eyes of H. H. Leonards, also touches the journey of African-American women who have somehow managed to survive a system that cared little about the indignities they suffered—from discrimination to sexual assault. While many of her contemporaries attempted to define her as the woman who refused to give up her seat on the bus, she was more than the sum of one pivotal decision. She was decidedly multi-dimensional. Rosa Parks Beyond the Bus is a personal look into Mrs. Parks' life, her thoughts, her beliefs, and her immense wisdom that moved people— from world leaders Nelson Mandela, Deepak Chopra and Pope John Paul II to the smallest of children—to seek and revere her presence.

Rosa Parks Beyond the Bus: Life, Lessons, and Leadership (R. H. Boyd, 2022) is a collection of inspiring and instructive memories compiled from the decade that Mrs. Parks was a guest in author H.H. Leonard's Washington, DC home. During those years, Mrs. Leonards was able to know the heart, mind, and spirit of the woman who refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama city bus on December 1, 1955. The author shares her remembrances, both delightful and somber, in a way that offers readers an intimate and personal glimpse into the personhood of Mrs. Parks. Mrs. Parks is a seminal point in the history of civil, human, and women's rights. Her story, as told through the eyes of H. H. Leonards, also touches the journey of African-American women who have somehow managed to survive a system that cared little about the indignities they suffered—from discrimination to sexual assault. While many of her contemporaries attempted to define her as the woman who refused to give up her seat on the bus, she was more than the sum of one pivotal decision. She was decidedly multi-dimensional. Rosa Parks Beyond the Bus is a personal look into Mrs. Parks' life, her thoughts, her beliefs, and her immense wisdom that moved people— from world leaders Nelson Mandela, Deepak Chopra and Pope John Paul II to the smallest of children—to seek and revere her presence.

H.H. Leonards purchased the O Street Mansion 50 years ago as an art space, but the impact it had helping Rosa Parks is a story many may not know. Leonards got a call from Brother Willis Edwards of the Beverly Hills branch of the NAACP asking if Ms. Parks could stay in the mansion until she was able to heal emotionally and physically after being attacked in her Detroit home. Leonards, who said she didn't know who Parks was, agreed, and a beautiful 10+ year friendship between the two women was fostered. And to that end, Leonards has written "Rosa Parks, Beyond the Bus: Life Lessons and Leadership." This is truly one fascinating conversation that will simply blow your mind!

Mandy runs a private psychotherapy clinic in the Indianapolis, In area. She is an age group athlete in running and triathlons so a high level but unpaid athlete In May of 2019 she suffered a ruptured 10mm herniated disc at L5-S1 and it set her up for a journey that she is just now coming out of. We talked about pain causing FEAR, UNCERTAINTY, AND BEING SCARED OF THE FUTURE and how it's ok to feel all those emotions. She taught us to VALIDATE THOSE FEELINGS but don't get stuck there as the longer you stay there the harder it is to get out. Knowing that pain is going to be a journey of months to years sometimes allows you to reset and recalibrate to win. One of her tricks she used in her own journey and with her clients is to take inventory of all that is good and be grateful through the pain (not for the pain). The mind body connection is huge, and we talked about several resources documenting emotional states and its link to cortisol leading to more inflammation and thus more pain. “The Body Keeps A Score” and “Healing Back Pain” are two books outlining emotional states and the response the physical body makes and how we can reverse the process and engineer healing. When we feel pain, we need to ground ourselves. She recommends 5-second-deep breaths and just focus on the here and now. Sounds, smells, our own breathing etc. Not to diminish the pain or fix it but to be present to rewire the body. 3 things Mandy recommends Deep breathing and acknowledging the present. Allow yourself to be vulnerable with yourself and honest about how the pain makes you feel. Then ground yourself. Utilize resources. Lean on those who love you and even have connections to practitioners and resources for healing. Don't do it alone ever. Focus on what you can do right now and JUST DO IT. Get up. Go to a ballgame your kid is playing. Have dinner with the family. Go for a walk. Watch a movie. Understand completely you have to DO THE WORK. Healing wont' happen with passivity. You must take action. She can be reached at www.mandyleonards.com Her blog site is https://www.mandyleonards.com/blog where you can learn about her journey and work on your own. Some Final thoughts Mandy left us with: Trauma makes your brain go into fight or flight mode. This can me emotional trauma OR physical trauma OR BOTH. You can either be okay in everyday life, or freeze where the past repeats over and over. Make room for BOTH. When people are stuck, two aspects of them are trying to get through a single door. Make a double door and give permission. Remember, anything that will reduce stress is going to be helpful in terms of reducing inflammation.
