Episode 90 - Murdock and Marvel: 2016 TBD The Year in Comics  Comics in Other Media Comic Sales Top Comics News Notable Passings Marvel Eisner Awards The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil v5 #1-12, Daredevil/Punisher: Seventh Circle #1-3, True Believers: Daredevil – Practice to Deceive #1, Daredevil Annual #1, Secret Wars Too #1, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. #5, Mockingbird #5, Accused #1, Captain America: Steve Rogers #5, Civil War II #5  Writer: Charles Soule (#1-12)  Pencils: Ron Garney (#1-3, #5, #10-12), Garney and Goran Sudzuka (#4), Matteo Buffagni (#6-7), Sudzuka (#8-9)  Inks: Ron Garney (#1-3, #5, #10-12), Garney and Goran Sudzuka (#4), Matteo Buffagni (#6-7), Sudzuka (#8-9)  The year kicks off with a whole new status quo. Matt's back in New York, he's somehow regained his secret identity—don't ask him how, he's very cagey about it—and he's traded the bright red suit for a slicker, darker black one. On top of that, he's now working as a prosecutor for the DA's office. So Daredevil by night, ADA by day… because nothing says “healthy work-life balance” like doubling down on stress.  And for reasons only Matt understands, he decides this is the perfect time to take on a protégé. Enter Blindspot—a kid genius with an invisibility suit, an undocumented immigrant background, and all the ambition (and naïveté) Matt had at his age. Matt trains him, pushes him, and absolutely refuses to admit to anyone that he might be in way over his head as a mentor.  The first big arc is the Tenfingers saga, centered around a cult leader in Chinatown who—yes—literally has ten fingers on each hand. He's stolen power from The Hand, his followers think he's some kind of holy savior, and Blindspot's mother is deep in the cult, which drags the kid into the conflict whether he wants it or not. The whole thing spirals into a massive church showdown that ends with The Hand (and then a giant beast on behalf of the hand) showing up to wipe Tenfingers off the map. Blindspot is injured, but he gets a harsh lesson in what Daredevil's world really looks like.  Following that we get a two-issue story “Elektric Connections” with the return of Elektra. First she shows up in Matt's courtroom during trial, then asks to meet Daredevil. When she does, she attacks him. Blindspot jumps in to try to save Daredevil, but Elektra breaks his arm. Elektra's convinced she has a daughter who's gone missing and that Daredevil is involved. Turns out it was a trick and after finally convincing her the “evidence” she was given wasn't real, she approaches the man who gave it to her. He breaks the planted memories with the phrase “The tangled web we weave!”. Elektra is relieved she won't be corrupting a child but very angry at the person who deceived her.   Then we get the “Blind Man's Bluff” story arc that feature's a team up with Spider-Man. Matt is posing as a Frenchman, playing Texas Hold 'em in a tournament and intends to rob someone at a Casino in Macau, which is as fun a story as it sounds. This will be our spotlight story for the week.   The year ends with the start of a terrifying “Dark Art” story that starts with the discovery of a full wall mural made from human blood. We are going to hold off until 2017 to discuss the entire story, but if you watched season one of Daredevil Born Again, you might have an idea of just who Daredevil and Blindspot are dealing with.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil Volume 5, Issue 8 August 2016 and Issue 9 September 2016 “Blind Man's Bluff Part 1 and 2”  Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway The Marvel Reboot.

Are you interested in new forms of governance? Debate of the article titled The Honduran ZEDE Law, from ideation to action from 2021, by Jeffrey Mason, Carl Peterson, and Daniela Ivette Cano, published in the Journal of Special Jurisdictions.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Niklas Anzinger in episode 386 talking about the opportunities in the Prospera Honduras governance experiment. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how new forms of governance in special economic zones could work. This article presents the legal framework for the Honduran special economic zone, highlighting and contrasting economic and governance models within this innovative legal framework.Find the article through this link.Abstract: Honduras has struggled to attract the investment needed to spur sustained economic growth in recent decades, and as a result remains one of the poorest countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. To attract greater foreign investment, the Honduran government passed a groundbreaking special economic zone (SEZ) law in 2012 creating Zonas de Empleo y Desarrollo Económico (Zones for Employment and Economic Development) or ZEDEs. Among the most innovative special jurisdictions in the world, ZEDEs grant sweeping legal and regulatory autonomy to allow for improved governance and economic competitiveness, in order to attract greater investment in Honduras. In this paper, we detail the political and legislative history of the ZEDE law, offer a textual analysis of the ZEDE statute, discuss the principal objections to the ZEDE law and responses to those objections, and provide case studies of the first two ZEDEs.Connecting episodes:No.293R - Rethinking the governance of urban infrastructural transformations: a synthesis of emerging approachesNo.294 - Interview with Erick A.

Episode 89 - Murdock and Marvel: 2015 Part 2 2015 was a turning point for the American comic industry in a number of ways, and seems to be a satisfying place to wrap up our look at over 50 years of American comic books.  This year is in many ways a fulcrum that links the insular comics world that I grew up in with the fast-moving media-entwined and politically-charged environment of recent times.    This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2015.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil v4 #10-18, She-Hulk #10, Superior Iron Man #1-2, Marvel Free Previews Scret Wars #1, Deadpool #45, Night Nurse #1, Secret Wars Journal #5, All-New, All-Different Point One #1  Writer: Mark Waid (#10-18)  Pencils: Chris Samnee (#10-18)  Inks: Chris Samnee (#10-18)  We kick off the year with the big Purple Man arc that rolled over from 2014. Kilgrave is having a full-on existential crisis—he wants genuine affection for once—so he rounds up his five kids, each of whom has a piece of his mind-control powers. But teaming them up backfires spectacularly: the kids turn on him and literally toss him into the street… where he gets smoked by a train. Classic family bonding.  With dad out of the picture, the kids go wild—stealing a cop car, causing mayhem—until Daredevil shows up to contain them. But these kids aren't like Kilgrave alone; together they're a psychic wrecking ball and Matt ends up curled under a bridge in a full panic response. Kilgrave, very much alive, shows up to beat him senseless… until one magic word—“fear”—snaps Matt back into fight mode. Still, Kilgrave and the kids slip away.  After regrouping with Kirsten, Daredevil tracks the whole purple family to a mall arcade (which is honestly a perfect place for a mind-control clan). With some strategic help from police, Matt gets the kids separated so their powers weaken, and everyone—including Kilgrave—gets taken into custody. And the issue closes with a surprisingly tender moment of Matt finally letting Kirsten in—on every level.  Meanwhile, there's a running side plot: Kirsten's father offers Matt eight million dollars for a Daredevil autobiography. So throughout the year we see Matt and his ghostwriter Foggy chipping away at the book.  Next up: the Stunt-Master saga. A new, young, daredevil wannabe is stealing the identity of the original Stunt-Master and pulling off death-defying stunts all over San Francisco. The original, George Smith, wants to sue and goes to Matt—but legally, he doesn't really have a case. When the new Stunt-Master publicly challenges Daredevil to join his next big stunt on the Golden Gate Bridge, Matt refuses… until he hears that Smith has apparently committed suicide.  Daredevil accepts the challenge and instantly realizes something is off. He discovers that the rider at the stunt is actually Smith himself—and that the “new” Stunt-Master's whole trick is murdering stand-ins to survive his stunts. Matt gives chase in a wild car/motorcycle sequence, only for Kirsten to be the one who cracks the final twist: Smith faked the suicide and played everyone. His goal wasn't fame—it was immortality as the world's greatest “death cheater.”  Then we get a really fun twist: Kirsten gets her own arch-nemesis. Matt's worried that their relationship is putting her in danger… and then she's kidnapped. Except it's not one of Matt's villains—it's the Lilac Killer, a serial killer Kirsten has been investigating. She's thrilled, shouting, “I have my own arch-foe!” while Daredevil rescues her. It's great.  In Issue #14, the Matt/Daredevil identity line really starts blurring. Matt's now showing up in court in a full red suit with a giant DD belt buckle, handing out Daredevil business cards—subtlety is dead. He's asked to investigate a “bird-man predator,” which sends him into a team-up with Jubula Pride, the Owl's daughter. They eventually discover the Owl himself has been kidnapped and wired into a massive surveillance system run by the Shroud, who is spiraling emotionally and spying on everyone through any electronic device.  Daredevil and Jubula try taking the Shroud down but get overwhelmed. When they go to the deputy mayor for help, things get worse—Jubula gets mistaken for a child kidnapper because of events going all the way back to Issue #1. So now the cops are after both of them, and Jubula drops the bomb: there's only one person who can help… Wilson Fisk.  Then we get an out-of-order Issue 15.1—a couple of standalone stories from Mark Waid, Chris Samnee, and Marc Guggenheim—but we'll save that one for this week's spotlight.  Back to the main story: Matt meets with Kingpin and asks for protection for himself and his friends from the Shroud. Fisk loves every second of this and demands payment. Matt gives him the wildest offer possible: “I offer you the death of Matt Murdock. Interested?”  Meanwhile, Foggy and Kirsten are ambushed and kidnapped by Ikari—the hyper-sensed assassin from Volume 3—now working for Fisk. And Kingpin has also secretly captured Julia Carpenter, the woman the Shroud is obsessed with.  Jubula tracks Julia to the airport and tries to hand her over to the Shroud as a bargaining chip for her father, but Daredevil crashes the meeting, Julia refuses to go, and everything explodes. Matt returns to Fisk to negotiate but finds Ikari holding Foggy, Kirsten, and Julia hostage. Fisk wants to ditch their original terms and just watch Ikari kill Daredevil. The fight spills across San Francisco until the Shroud intervenes and kills Ikari—realizing Fisk has Julia. He proposes a truce with Matt to save the people they love.  In the big finale, Daredevil disguises himself as Ikari to infiltrate Fisk's stronghold. The ruse works… for about 30 seconds. Foggy starts fighting a guard, chaos erupts, and Fisk realizes Ikari is dead. But just then the Shroud broadcasts Fisk's secret business dealings to the world—mirroring what he once did to Matt—and police storm the building. In the chaos, Daredevil gets the hostages free and escapes.  The dust settles: Julia Carpenter takes down the Shroud with a poisoned kiss. The deputy mayor rescinds the arrest warrant and helps clean up Matt's legal fallout. And Foggy and Matt share a grounded heart-to-heart about what it means for Matt to be “living in the light”.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil Volume 4, Issue 15.1 July 2015 Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway Its always dangerous when your hero is happy.

Est-ce que les Églises prennent le problème du racisme au sérieux?   Le message de Jésus était pour l'ensemble de l'humanité. Alors, pourquoi retrouvons-nous toujours du racisme à l'intérieur de nos Églises? Pourquoi est-ce si difficile de changer ou de voir les choses du point de vue de l'autre?   Dans cet épisode, Joan et Stéphane partagent des expériences d'inconfort, réfléchissent sur nos biais et discutent de la différence entre racisme et racisme systémique.   Site Internet: https://questiondecroire.podbean.com/ ApplePodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/question-de-croire/id1646685250  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Xurt2du9A576owf0mIFSj  Réforme: https://www.reforme.net/podcast/ Contactez-nous: questiondecroire@gmail.com Notre commanditaire: L'Église Unie du Canada  Moncredo.org * Musique de Lesfm, pixabay.com.

Cette semaine, est-ce que les Églises prennent le problème du racisme au sérieux? Bonjour Stéphane. Bonjour, Joan, bonjour à toutes les personnes à l'écoute.   Avoir des biais et des préjugés   [Joan] J'ai une anecdote qui me concerne. C'est-à-dire que pour une fois, je me moque de moi-même. J'avais une réunion avec un collègue et pendant la même réunion, je me suis plainte à un moment donné d'un racisme que je considérais résiduel dans la communauté. Et à un autre moment de la réunion, je ne sais pas ce qui m'a pris, mais j'ai imité une dame d'un certain âge de la bourgeoisie genevoise. Parce qu'elle m'avait parlé, elle m'avait dit « oh, mais enchantée, très bien, très bien ». Et j'avais bien réussi à l'imiter. Ils rigolent un peu, puis le collègue me dit « Ce n'est pas raciste ça, d'imiter une vieille dame bourgeoise genevoise ?». Alors, je ne sais pas. Je suis restée avec cette question, à m'interroger moi-même sur mes propres ressorts un peu racistes, un peu classistes. Est-ce que c'est OK de se moquer des accents bourgeois? Après tout, elle a été élevée comme ça. Une fois, on avait parlé, toi et moi, et tu m'avais dit, c'est vrai que je suis un mec blanc depuis plus de 50 ans, mais je ne l'ai pas choisi. C'est vrai que souvent, quand on est bourgeoise et âgée, ce sont des choses qu'on ne choisit pas vraiment. Est-ce qu'on choisit son accent? Est-ce qu'on doit en changer pour avoir l'air moins bourgeoise ou moins française ou moins autre chose? Probablement pas, finalement. Donc voilà, on a nous-mêmes nos propres biais et ça peut être intéressant d'y réfléchir.   La difficulté avec les pasteurs venus d'ailleurs   [Stéphane] C'est vrai que je n'ai pas choisi d'être caucasien. Je n'ai pas choisi de naître en Amérique du Nord. Comme je dis souvent, si j'étais venu au monde au Burkina Faso, ma vie serait complètement différente. Je crois qu'il y a un peu d'angélisme dans les Églises, dans le sens où on a cette idée que nous sommes une Église universelle, que Jésus accueille tous et toutes et sans distinction. Oui, je suis pas mal convaincu que Jésus-Christ accueille tous et toutes. Le problème, ce sont les gens dans l'Église… c'est malheureusement une autre chose. Qu'on le veuille ou qu'on ne le veuille pas, les Églises chrétiennes ont un lourd passé colonial. On envoyait des gens avec un message quand même assez clair, vous allez dans des pays sous-développés, vous allez les sortir de leur culture et religion primitive. Maintenant qu'il y a ce qu'on appelle une crise de vocation dans nos Églises, nous avons de la difficulté à trouver des pasteurs occidentaux. On se dit bon, on a été évangéliser les gens là-bas, ben ils vont nous renvoyer des pasteurs. C'est un échange de bons procédés. Et d'un coup, hop, ils sont différents, ils parlent différemment, ils arrivent avec d'autres cultures. Là, ça ne marche pas. Donc, il y a une espèce de pensée magique que le racisme, la discrimination ou du moins l'inconfort n'existent pas. Ce n'est pas vrai.   Prendre le temps de bien se comprendre   [Joan] J'aime beaucoup que tu parles de l'inconfort. Je trouve ça génial en fait. L'inconfort, c'est ce qu'on ressent tous et toutes lorsqu'on est avec quelqu'un de différent. Et c'est ok de ressentir de l'inconfort. Quand c'est quelqu'un qui est dans une situation de vulnérabilité, c'est une personne qui fait déjà beaucoup d'efforts, ce n'est pas ok de lui montrer notre inconfort en fait. Il faut qu'on arrive à trouver d'autres endroits où déposer cet inconfort. Quand c'est quelqu'un qui nous met dans une situation un peu inconfortable, mais qu'elle le fait un peu sciemment et qu'elle le fait depuis une place quand même avec des privilèges, on peut l'interpeller et lui poser la question. Et ça se passe bien souvent. J'anime une petite page Instagram, trois fois rien, sur le ministère que j'ai la bénédiction de vivre depuis trois mois avec des personnes qui sont en situation migratoire, et pour une partie d'entre eux, qui sont en train de s'installer ici en Suisse. Et sur cette page Insta, dont je peux donner la référence si les gens nous écrivent, pas de problème, je racontais qu'à la fin d'une entrevue avec une marraine, donc une dame qui va former un tandem avec quelqu'un qui est arrivé depuis pas longtemps en Suisse, à la fin de la conversation, elle me dit « Mais pourquoi vous dites tout le temps “comme dit” ? » En fait, ça vient de wiegesatack et c'est un alsacisme. En fait, les Alsaciens disent « comme dit » pour dire « comme nous l'avons dit » ou « comme je te l'ai dit » ou « comme ça a été dit ». On dit « comme dit ». Elle me l'a dit comme ça, un peu à brûle pour point, mais avec un sourire et tellement gentiment. Et elle m'a expliqué qu'en fait, ça faisait une heure que je lui répétais « comme dit », « comme dit », « comme dit ». Et puis moi, je n'en avais pas du tout conscience. Donc parfois on est un petit peu inconfortable, notamment parce que c'est une expression qu'on ne comprend pas, qu'on n'est pas sûr de suivre le fil de l'autre. Je me rappelle qu'une fois, je parlais avec un collègue congolais qui s'appelle Moussa et que je salue au passage. Et j'avais besoin d'avoir une réponse à une question. Il me dit « Ah, si, si. Non, non. Voilà! » Voilà, j'avais des réponses, cela dit, mais pas du tout celle que j'attendais. C'est intéressant, parce que des fois ce n'est pas possible. On n'arrive pas à répondre. Il y a une distance culturelle. La question telle que posée ne correspond à rien, cognitivement, de ce que nous on connaît. Et si, sinon, on voit là, c'est une façon très polie de dire, voilà, laisse-moi du temps, je n'y suis pas encore, ta question me surprend, je ne la comprends pas. C'est OK aussi de se prendre ce temps-là. Ça peut éviter des réactions racistes, en fait, de se donner du temps.   Le racisme ethnique dans la Bible   [Joan] Par rapport au racisme, il y a eu un avant et un après pour moi dans ma lecture de la Bible. Et c'est quand j'ai compris que Aaron, le frère de Moïse, avait renvoyé dans le désert les femmes étrangères dans une espèce de recherche de purification ethnique. Vous ne vous marierez pas avec des étrangères parce qu'elles avaient d'autres dieux, elles n'avaient pas un dieu unique ou alors pas le dieu unique tel que le peuple hébreu le comprenait. J'étais saisie d'horreur et je me suis dit, mais quel racisme horrible de prendre des femmes, d'avoir des relations avec ces femmes, même des enfants, et puis d'un seul coup de leur dire « on ne veut pas de vous, on vous renvoie dans le désert ». Qu'est-ce qu'elle peut bien devenir, une femme seule ou plusieurs femmes seules dans le désert, parfois avec des bébés sous le bras? Quel est leur avenir en fait? Je me suis rendu compte que la Bible portait en elle beaucoup d'histoires teintées par ce racisme, ce racisme ethnique, tribal, ce besoin un peu de purification, et tout ça pour honorer Dieu. C'est dur, après, d'en faire quelque chose, de s'en saisir et de s'en dessaisir, d'être loyale; ça, c'est notre épisode de podcast d'il y a deux semaines. Et en même temps, de ne pas tomber dans une sorte de sectarisme, de racisme, quoi.   Tenter de devenir conscient du problème du racisme   [Stéphane] C'est vrai que les écrits bibliques ne sont pas neutres. C'est l'histoire du peuple de Dieu, donc avec tout ce qu'il y a de plus beau et de moins beau. C'est sûr qu'on aime bien le passage de Galates, chapitre 3 : « Il n'y a plus de Juifs, ni Grecs; il n'y a plus d'esclaves, ni libres; ni hommes ni femmes. Nous sommes tous un en Jésus-Christ. » Puis là on dit: “ah que c'est beau”. Mais lorsqu'on y pense quelques secondes, pourquoi l'auteur a-t-il voulu écrire ça? C'est parce que, probablement, il y avait un problème. Probablement, il y avait des gens qui disaient « Ah, eux, ce sont des Grecs; eux, ce sont des Juifs; puis eux, ce sont juste des esclaves; nous, on est libres. » Il y a ces problèmes-là qui sont là probablement depuis le début de l'humanité et l'Église n'y échappe pas; il faut en être conscient. Ça ne veut pas dire qu'on est mauvais, mais lorsque l'on devient conscient du problème, on peut y travailler. L'Église Unie a décidé, il y a quelques années, d'être une église antiraciste. Encore une fois, bravo, mais cette position-là a émergé après que plusieurs personnes aient raconté des histoires vraiment touchantes et très tristes, de racisme et tout ce qui venait avec, de discrimination, de commentaires vraiment pas gentils. L'Église a pris conscience du problème. Elle n'a pas dit qu'on est meilleur, non ça n'existe pas. L'Église a plutôt décidé de dire, oui, nous avons un problème et nous allons y travailler. Nous allons y faire face. Et c'est ça qui est difficile pour une Église, une paroisse, d'être capable de reconnaître notre problème.   Multi culturalité et interculturalité   [Joan] Tu sais qu'en fait, ce verset de Galates 3, mais tu dois le savoir, en tout cas tu l'as appris dans un de tes cours de théologie, se situe dans un contexte de liturgie de baptême. Et du coup, on a commis un petit article, ma collègue Juliette Marchais et moi, collègue qui exerce en Alsace, dans le bouquin Bible, genre et sexualité, ni mâle et femelle, sous la direction de Sébastien Douane. C'est un petit peu notre article qui a donné le nom au bouquin. On a fait un article sur la question des liturgies de baptême. Est-ce que les liturgies de baptême utilisent Galate 3? Et la réponse est non. C'est-à-dire qu'en fait, il en est fait mention parfois dans les marges, ou bien un petit peu. Par exemple, ils disent « il n'y a plus ni homme ni femme, car vous êtes un en Jésus-Christ ». Et puis le côté « ni juif, ni grec, ni esclave, ni libre », ça disparaît. Donc c'est intéressant parce que quand c'est utilisé, c'est utilisé de façon tronquée et finalement c'est peu utilisé pour te dire que c'est un verset qui n'est pas du tout consensuel. Comme tu dis, d'un seul coup on le brandit, c'est quand on n'en peut plus. Pourquoi? Parce qu'on n'ose pas assez se confronter à ce verset qui est pourtant riche et autour duquel on peut avoir des discussions franches. Et d'ailleurs, en parlant discussion franche, j'ai remarqué aussi quand je parle avec des gens de multi culturalité ou d'interculturalité, qui sont deux choses différentes. La multi culturalité c'est quand on est dans une communauté ou dans une église avec le grand E, un peu côte à côte. Une fois de temps en autre, on fait un truc ensemble. Ah, c'est super! Une fois par an, on fait le culte avec les Hmongs. Ah, ils préparent des petits nems succulents, c'est formidable et c'est joli, les chapeaux des dames. Et puis après, chacun retourne dans sa communauté, manger ses trucs et porter ses jeans et ses costumes habituels. Ça, c'est multiculturel. On aime bien la différence de l'autre. D'ailleurs, une fois par an, on se prend en photo avec. Interculturalité, c'est plus régulièrement mélanger les choses, les mélanger au risque que des fois ça frotte, ça coince. On recule aussi des fois, ou on avance. Et moi ce que j'ai souvent entendu quand je témoignais un peu de ce que nous vivions dans l'Église réformée francophone de Zurich, où il y a une chorale avec des personnes qui viennent de toute l'Afrique, et puis la communauté est majoritairement blanche avec une chorale majoritairement noire. Donc des fois ça donne lieu à des questionnements, il y a plein de choses qui peuvent se passer. Des fois j'en parlais autour de moi quand j'étais en ministère là-bas. Et il arrivait souvent qu'on me dise « Ah bon? Ah, chez vous, des fois, il y a des tensions, des frottements, des interrogations? Ah, pas chez nous, on a une famille érythréenne et ça se passe très bien. Qu'est-ce qu'ils sont bien élevés, les enfants. La dame, elle aide toujours et le monsieur, il porte les chaises. Ah non, nous, avec notre famille érythréenne, tout va très, très bien. » Ou bien le classique « Oh, on a un réfugié, Bienvenue. » Il s'appelle Bienvenue. Toute la communauté l'aide. On l'invite à manger à tour de rôle, ah non, nous on n'a pas de problème. Et ça, c'est un petit peu la différence entre avoir une famille érythréenne, un réfugié qui s'appelle Bienvenue, ou bien être carrément moitié-moitié. Parce que dès qu'il y a plus de personnes venant d'ailleurs que venant d'ici, ça pose question. Et que ça pose question, c'est OK en fait. Moi, je comprends que ça pose question. D'ailleurs, c'est bien qu'on se pose des questions. Quand on arrêtera de se poser des questions, ce ne sera plus bon. Mais si ça tourne au non-dit ou au conflit, c'est là qu'on se dit, on a du boulot à faire en tant que pasteur. Comme cette anecdote du jeûne fédéral qui m'a été rapportée par un collègue, dans une communauté avec beaucoup de personnes qui venaient d'ailleurs. Pour le jeûne fédéral suisse, d'un seul coup, il y avait surtout des personnes qui venaient d'ailleurs et pas beaucoup de personnes qui avaient l'air de venir d'ici. Et certaines personnes s'en sont émues, en disant: si le jour du jeûne fédéral suisse, il y a plus de personnes qui viennent d'ailleurs que de personnes qui viennent d'ici, c'est mal parti. Ce n'est ni mal parti ni bien parti, c'était comme ça cette année-là. Et ce sera peut-être différent l'année suivante. Finalement, ce qui est sûr, c'est que le racisme, c'est pénible. C'est pénible pour tout le monde, même pour ceux qui sont un peu racistes ou qui ont du mal avec les questions de multi-culturalité, pour eux c'est pénible. Mais en même temps, c'est lorsqu'il n'y a que des personnes de la même origine qu'il n'y a pas de racisme à l'Église. Finalement, le racisme, c'est quoi ? C'est l'expression d'une multi-culturalité, c'est l'expression d'une communauté qui est en mouvement, c'est l'expression de choses qui sont en train de changer. C'est ce qu'on appelle le point noir sur la feuille blanche. Sur une feuille blanche, on ne voit qu'un point noir, mais ça veut dire qu'il y a un point noir, et ça, c'est cool. Le racisme, c'est l'expression d'un changement, c'est l'expression d'un déplacement. Et c'est vrai que nous, en tant que ministre du culte, on a un rôle à jouer là-dedans, puis toute la communauté aussi.   Racisme et racisme systémique   [Stéphane] En Amérique du Nord, pas juste aux États-Unis, au Canada aussi, il y a eu pendant longtemps des lois qui divisaient les personnes afro-descendantes des Caucasiens. Et ces lois sont disparues pour trois quarts de siècle, au moins, tout dépendant des endroits. Ceci dit, dimanche matin, à l'église, c'est encore le moment de la semaine, l'endroit où la société est la plus ségrégationnée. Même si c'est accepté, même si au travail, on peut avoir des gens de différentes origines, de différentes cultures, on dirait que le dimanche matin, on va à une église blanche, on va à une église latino. Je peux comprendre un certain sentiment de tribalisme, dans le sens où on veut être entouré de gens qui me ressemblent, qui sonnent comme moi, qui ont les mêmes référents, mais en même temps, ce n'est pas la société dans laquelle on vit. On dirait qu'on essaie de créer comme un espace parallèle. OK, quand je vais à l'épicerie, je suis entouré de gens un peu différents, mais dans mon Église, ah là, là, on est tous des Québécois, cinquantenaires, tous pareils. Mais c'est à ce moment-là, moi, je trouve que l'Église perd sa pertinence. Si on n'est pas intégré dans notre société, si on n'est pas prêt à faire face justement à ces défis, c'est sûr que c'est désagréable. Personne ne veut se faire confronter, personne ne veut se faire dire « ben ça c'est peut-être une pratique raciste ». Depuis quelques années, un des grands débats qu'on a ici, c'est la différence entre le racisme et le racisme systémique. Il y a le racisme, les gens vont faire un propos raciste, et le racisme systémique. Les gens comprennent ça comme plus systématiquement. Non, c'est le système qui est raciste, c'est le système qui est brisé. Lorsqu'on prend pour acquis que tout le monde fonctionne selon les valeurs occidentales, c'est ça qui est normal, c'est ça qui est attendu. Et lorsque quelqu'un vient d'un autre pays et se comporte différemment, on ne l'engage pas pour un boulot ou pour n'importe quoi. Là, c'est le système qui est vicié. Juste un exemple, on a des comités comme toutes les Églises. On remarquait qu'il y avait des appels pour participer à des comités et qu'il n'y avait pas d'Autochtones qui portaient leur candidature. Quelqu'un a eu la brillante idée d'aller voir les communautés autochtones. Il a dit, mais qu'est-ce qui ne fonctionne pas? Est-ce que c'est une question de langage? Ils ont dit, ben, pas vraiment. Nous, dans notre culture, personne ne va se porter volontaire. C'est les anciens qui se rassemblent, qui disent, telle personne, je pense qu'elle serait bonne pour cette position-là. Donc, il y a eu un changement. Quelque part, le modèle qu'on avait, c'était le modèle blanc occidental. On était confrontés à un certain racisme dans le sens où le système prenait pour acquis que nos valeurs étaient les valeurs de tout le monde. Et on a été confronté à ça et on a réfléchi. Mais c'est sûr que ce n'est pas plaisant de se faire dire que le système dans lequel nous on évolue très bien, ça va bien, tout va bien, moi je suis un homme caucasien, tout le monde m'écoute. Mais il y a des gens qui souffrent de ça, des gens qui souffrent du fait qu'ils sont nés sur un autre continent, qui ont un nom à consonance entre guillemets « étrange » et n'ont pas les mêmes chances que moi, c'est sûr que c'est difficile à accepter.   Les Églises identitaires   [Joan] C'est bien que tu parles des églises issues de la migration comme ça, parce que je me rappelle pendant mes études de théologie, notamment pendant les journées doctorales de la faculté de théologie de Strasbourg, qui étaient obligatoires à un certain nombre d'heures quand on était en doctorat. Il y avait eu une période où il y avait énormément de réflexions autour des Églises ethniques ou bien affinitaires. Puis après, il y a eu le mot afropéenne, des Églises afropéennes. Alors, entre-temps, on a rediscuté ce mot. Des Églises identitaires aussi. À un moment donné, être d'une culture ou d'une nationalité, c'était être identitaire. Mais moi, ça m'amuse beaucoup parce que y a-t-il une église qui ne soit pas identitaire? Parfois, on a des Églises multi-identitaires. J'ai un collègue en Grande-Bretagne qui m'expliquait qu'il sert dans un consortium de trois paroisses. Je ne me rappelle plus très bien des détails, mais une, c'est méthodiste anglicane, l'autre, c'est méthodiste je ne sais plus quoi, et la troisième, ça s'appelle église œcuménique parce que c'est une période où plusieurs courants se sont mis ensemble pour créer un courant œcuménique. Et il semblerait que ce soit pareil en Suède aussi, maintenant il y a de plus en plus d'Églises post-confessionnelles qui s'appellent œcuméniques et qui ont toutes sortes de marqueurs identitaires à l'intérieur. Donc, finalement maintenant on a des Églises multi-identitaires aussi, mais néanmoins elles restent identitaires. Et donc se pose un petit peu la question de comment peut-on imaginer une Église qui, dès le départ, semble assez multi-identitaire pour que, quand on y arrive, on n'ait pas l'impression d'être invité dans la tribu de l'autre? Ça, c'est intéressant parce que c'est une question qui part de beaucoup de privilèges aussi, par exemple des privilèges blancs. On va dire oui, moi je vais dans une Église noire et puis je ne sais pas trop où m'y mettre. Et puis d'ailleurs, ce n'est pas leur objectif que tu te sentes spécialement accueilli, selon certaines communautés. Moi par exemple, quand j'étais à New York, dans l'une des communautés noires de Harlem. Ils m'ont dit très clairement qu'ils ont un quota. Ils prennent 25 Blancs, pas plus. Sinon, leurs cultes ne sont pas intéressants. Ils ont l'impression d'être scrutés. Puis les Blancs, ils n'ont pas les us et coutumes. Ils ne chantent pas, ils ne dansent pas. On m'a bien expliqué qu'il se trouvait qu'étant ministre, j'étais acceptée, mais alors du bout des doigts, vraiment. Je comprends leur perspective. Est-ce que c'est du racisme? Ils veulent pouvoir vivre leur expérience de culte noir, afro-gospel, puis c'est tout. Nous, par contre, si on fait ça depuis la place de privilège qu'on a et qu'on disait, oui, non, mais alors s'il y a des gens qui viennent d'autres cultures, voilà, ça allait nous déranger, ça ne va pas du tout, parce qu'on parle depuis une autre place, quoi. Mais on fait bien sentir souvent aux gens qu'ils n'ont pas les codes, qu'on le veuille ou non. Moi, je me rappelle d'un culte où était venue une famille pentecôtiste et la dame s'était bien habillée. Elle était canon belle, elle avait un chapeau et tout. Et à chaque fois que le pasteur disait quelque chose, elle disait « Amen! Alléluia! ». Je ne sais pas, on n'a pas eu l'intelligence collective de le faire aussi un petit peu, pour qu'elle se sente à l'aise et elle n'est plus revenue. Ce sont des détails. On dirait que c'est anecdotique mais en fait, ça veut dire beaucoup. Comment est-ce qu'on peut faire pour que dans nos cultes, tout un chacun trouve un petit quelque chose où ils se disent « ah, mais là je suis à la maison ». C'est ce petit quelque chose qui fera de nous, individuellement et collectivement, des communautés en marche vers l'antiracisme. Ça ne se décrète pas d'être antiraciste, ça se vit en fait. Et c'est très, très compliqué parce que moi je peux penser que je suis antiraciste, mais en fait j'imite les accents des autres des fois un petit peu de façon… et puis on peut penser qu'on fait un culte panafricain, j'ai fait ça aussi des cultes panafricains. Pendant les réunions de préparation du culte panafricain, quelqu'un a dit: ce serait quand même bien qu'il n'y ait pas trop de viande. Du coup, on a fait un buffet avec pas trop de viande et on a pu jeter la moitié du buffet parce que la plupart des personnes qui étaient là trouvaient qu'un culte panafricain où on célèbre l'Afrique, on mange de la viande. C'est hyper intéressant parce qu'on va cumuler des expériences, des échecs, des réussites. Il faut absolument que l'on continue, qu'on insiste, qu'on persévère et qu'on ait des lieux où on peut se raconter un peu tout ça. Des lieux qui incluent des personnes concernées dans nos démarches antiracistes. Parce que comme tu l'as dit avec l'anecdote des délégués de la communauté d'une autre culture ou de différentes cultures. Si on met en place des protocoles, mais qu'on n'inclut pas les personnes concernées dans nos protocoles, on va forcément viser à côté, comme tu l'as dit. Pour moi, ce sont des chantiers, des idées, des impulsions, et j'aimerais tellement qu'il y ait plus d'endroits où on puisse partager ça.   Accepter l'inconfort   [Stéphane] J'ai trouvé une expression que j'aime bien: l'inconfort universel. Que tout le monde se sente inclus et en même temps inconfortable, à peu près au même niveau. Je te donne un exemple. Il y a quelques semaines, on m'a invité à un culte. Toutes les personnes qui étaient là étaient des gens d'origine du Cameroun. Je n'avais pas de référent culturel pour la majorité des choses. Je ne connaissais pas les cantiques, la façon d'organiser le culte n'était pas celle que je connais. Mais pour moi, ce fut une belle expérience parce que, un, ils m'ont invité, ils m'ont très bien accueilli, et deux, j'ai découvert quelque chose. J'ai surtout eu le rappel que les blancs sont coincés, parce que, oui, c'était top énergie, l'essence de la célébration. Je me suis dit, oui, mais c'est vrai: pourquoi chez nous, c'est toujours de la musique solennelle? Il faut toujours se concentrer et être sobre, alors que c'est supposé être un jour de célébration? Je ne dis pas nécessairement que c'est mieux, mais j'ai été confronté à mes préjugés, à mes façons de faire. Je me suis remis en question. Je n'ai pas blâmé cette communauté-là pour ce qu'elle faisait. C'est moi qui me suis remis un peu en question, qui ai essayé de grandir, qui ai essayé d'évoluer comme fort probablement, j'espère, ces personnes-là font la même chose lorsqu'elles sont confrontées à d'autres réalités. Je pense que c'est ça l'espoir, lorsqu'on accepte que ce soit différent, lorsqu'on accepte que ce soit peut-être inconfortable. Lorsqu'on accepte que l'autre soit sûrement inconfortable, comment se rejoindre, comment se respecter tout en demeurant soi-même et en essayant de voir la façon dont l'autre voit les choses, je pense que c'est un bon début.   Conclusion   [Joan] Et encore une fois, Amen! Racontez-nous vous aussi vos expériences, si vous êtes d'accord, d'interculturalité inconfortable ou confortable. Dites-nous un peu comment vous vivez les choses, ça nous intéresse, écrivez-nous.

The "Digging Deeper" series is category of episodes on CC Podcast: Conversations where CC Broadcast Radio Preacher, Tim Boettger, further discusses topics and ideas raised during his radio sermons, but in a conversational interview format. As you'll notice, the title of each episode mirrors the title of the radio sermon on the CC Broadcast that it corresponds with. It is our hope that these supplemental conversations will help listeners grow even deeper in their Christian faith and their understanding of God's Word than is possible by only listening to a sermon.Here are links to the two CC Broadcasts (audio) featuring the two parts of the message referenced in this conversation:Part 1: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/91f28ae4-616b-4e49-8211-b3286f4377b9/Part 2: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/be0b6a34-b3fa-4f93-b5b7-07d2286150da/Here is a link to the video of the same message, from Nazareth Church's website: https://vimeo.com/1129171125?fl=pl&fe=shHere's a link to the John Ortberg sermon, "It All Goes Back in the Box," which was referenced multiple times in this conversation: https://youtu.be/G9Y_gbrcz8w?si=ukFzBi5d05iF0yl7Here's a link to the CC Podcast: Conversations episode featuring Ron Gruber, which was referenced multiple times in this conversation: https://player.captivate.fm/episode/025ee88b-1897-48b6-a560-9d99e075e4c6/For more information about Christian Crusaders, the ministry under which CC Podcasts are produced: Conversations is produced, visit https://christiancrusaders.org.Also, check out our other podcasts:To listen to The CC Podcast: Daily Dose Devotions, where we're currently going through an overview of the Bible, click here: https://christiancrusaders.org/ccpod-daily-doseTo listen to our weekly radio broadcast, The CC Broadcast, which has aired since 1936, and which features a 30 minute worship service, including music and preaching, click here: https://christiancrusaders.org/the-cc-broadcastTo listen to Homer Larsen Live, an archive of Pastor Homer Larsen's sermons preached live at Nazareth Church, click here: https://christiancrusaders.org/homer-larsen-live (Pastor Larsen was radio preacher for CC for over 50 years, and also served as Senior Pastor at Nazareth -- many of his radio broadcasts, dating back to the early 2000s, are archived on The CC Broadcast, but this set of sermons are the ones he preached live from the pulpit.)Thanks to Terri, our intro/outro announcer!Music by Lesfm from Pixabay

Are you interested in floating cities and communities? Debate of the article titled Potential of floating urban development for coastal cities: Analysis of flood risk and population growth from 2019, by B. Dal Bo Zanon, B. Roeffen, K. M. Czapiewska & R. E. de Graaf-van Dinther, published in the WCFS2019 Proceedings of the World Conference on Floating Solutions.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Rutger de Graaf in episode 384 talking about floating cities and communities. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how floating cities can enhance opportunities for coastal cities. This article proposes a multi-criteria analysis to identify best locations for floating cities and implementation strategies.Find the article through this link.Abstract: Population growth and urbanization mainly take place in vulnerable coastal areas. This article presents a global overview of these areas with both rapid population growth and high flood risk, in order to identify coastal areas that could benefit most from floating urban development. The analysis focuses on port cities, since they are coastal cities that have both availability of locations and the required expertise (e.g. maritime industry and services) to enable floating developments. After identifying the most promising locations, an implementation strategy is discussed, which favours areas where floating projects are already present to start testing medium and large-scale concepts. Next, a large scale floating maritime spatial project is presented, which integrates urban and ecosystem development with food and energy production in the North Sea.

In this episode of SB Talks, CEO Vincent O'Neill and CIO Nick Ryder, take a fast-paced look at global markets. In the US, manufacturing slows as tariffs bite, while AI and data centre spending surge. Back home, Australia's first full monthly CPI eliminates hopes of a pre-Christmas rate cut, even as Q3 growth and capacity constraints keep pressure on. Nick unpacks a record capex jump, plant and equipment lead the charge, data centre hardware up 92% QoQ fueling productivity but driving imports. Markets cool after a risk-on run, crypto retreats, and competition heats up in banking. The duo also weigh the Fed chair race and a divided FOMC, before hinting at Stanford Brown's 2026 outlook: cautiously optimistic, focused on inflation, productivity, and the evolving AI story.    Music provided by: Autumn Trumpet Background Corporate by LesFM | https://lesfm.net/ Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Creative Commons CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Knowing why we're depressed doesn't immediately remove the pain of depression. For many, depression can linger far longer than we expect it to, and certainly much longer than we'd prefer. So as we're putting off the sin that has led to things like hopelessness, despair, or fear... what do we do about those very real feelings that may linger? This episode begins a short "mini series" that will discuss a few ways we can respond to our depression in a way that is biblically faithful, true, and Christ-oriented. For starters... let's discuss how looking at rocks can help.

Are you interested in decentralised autonomous organisations, also known as DAOs? Debate of the book chapter titled Decentralized Autonomous Organisations (DAOs) adoption for smart city governance from 2025, by Aiman Erbad, published in the Blockchain and Applications, 6th International Congress book.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Adam Miller in episode 370 talking about DAOs and their connection to the future of cities. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how a new decentralised governance model can influence the future of cities. This chapter investigates how DAOs could address challenges in citizen participation and distributed decision-making in rapidly urbanising centres.Find the article through this link.Abstract: Cities are the foundation upon which civilization is built, but their large population concentrations present significant challenges in terms of economic, environmental, and social resilience. One promising approach to address these challenges is the adoption of information and communication technology (ICT) based on the smart city concept. To effectively implement smart city initiatives, it is essential to foster active participation from both public and private actors in the rapid urbanization process. This study focuses on the governance of smart cities, specifically addressing issues of participation and distributed decision-making using the lessons of Web 3.0 online communities. Our goal is to understand the potential challenges and opportunities of adopting blockchain-based decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) for smart city governance. A DAO is a form of organization represented by rules encoded as computer programs called smart contracts that are transparent, controlled by the organization members and not influenced by a central authority. We employ a qualitative research methodology using an inductive approach to explore DAO adoption with experts. Our study identified five critical areas that impact DAO adoption in smart city governance: power configuration, performance expectancy, effort expectancy, threat management, and organizational context.Connecting episodes you might be interested in:No.022R - Crypto citiesNo.369R - Liberland Blockchain WhitepaperNo.370 - Interview with Vít Jedlicka about Liberland's blockchain systemYou can find the transcript through ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠th⁠i⁠⁠⁠s link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.What was the most interesting part for you?

Episode 87 - Murdock and Marvel: 2014 Part 2 2014 saw some sales figures that had not been achieved in decades, and pop culture was filled with comic book related movies and merchandise.  Marvel was dominant again, and along with DC again climbed back to nearly 70% of the total market share in comic shops.  This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2013.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil v3 #33-36, Daredevil #1.5, Daredevil v4 #1-9, Daredevil: Dark Knights #6-8, Daredevil: Road Warrior Infinite Comic #1-4 (or #0.1), Fantastic Four #2 and 5-6, Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #200, Origin Sin #2-3 and #3.1, She-Hulk #4 and #8-9, Black Widow #7, Hulk #4, Captain America #25  Writer: Mark Waid and Chris Samnee (#33), Waid (#34-36 and #1-9)  Pencils: Jason Copeland (#33), Javier Rodriguez (#34 and #6-7), Chris Samnee (#35-36, #1-5 and #8-9),  Inks: Jason Copeland (#33), Alvaro Lopez (#34 and #6-7), Chris Samnee (#35-36, #1-5 and #8-9)  The year picks up right where we left off in 2012 — Matt Murdock was in Kentucky looking for info on the Darkhold, a ancient mystical book tied to the Sons of the Serpent. He was looking to track down Jack Russell, a.k.a. Werewolf by Night, hoping for answers. But before finding him, Daredevil ends up in the middle of an angry mob attacking some so-called “monsters.” He tries to stop it, gets shot, and the “monsters” — led by Russell — end up saving him. Even using some sort of restoration spell on him.  Once he's patched up, Daredevil learns about missing Darkhold pages connected to a sorcerer named Lucien Sinclair. After a few magical trials, Matt takes Sinclair down, destroys his house, and handed Sinclair over to Russell — but keeps the pages for himself before heading back to New York.  Back home, Matt and Kirsten McDuffie go bold — they take to the rooftops and broadcast a live message calling out the Sons of the Serpent. The Jester, who kicked this story off with a fake TV broadcast, is strung up on the side of a building which suggests Dardevil may be walking into a trap. Despite that, Daredevil wipes the floor with them and saves Kirsten from being gunned down by a helicopter for good measure.  Meanwhile, Foggy's cancer takes a bad turn. Two Serpent members step in with an experimental drug that temporarily saves him — but they want Daredevil's help in exchange. One has a son on death row for a fire that killed twelve people, and they're hoping Matt can help clear his name. Matt investigates the crime scene with Elektra's help, fights Mamba and Constrictor, and then surprises everyone in court by admitting under oath that he's Daredevil.  That confession sets off total chaos. The Sons of the Serpent storm the courtroom, a mistrial is called, and Daredevil fights them off. He exposes their infiltration of the Justice Department, but the fallout costs him his law license in New York. Kirsten steps in and says, “Let's get out of here,” and the two of them pack up for San Francisco.  In April, we get a Daredevil 1.5 issue with 3 stories that are celebrating Daredevil's 50th Anniversary and looking at possible futures for Matt Murdock. In “The King in Red” Daredevil takes on Jubula Pride (the Owl's Daughter) after the rest of New York is blinded. He takes down Jubula and breaks the machine causing their sight to return. There's a story from Brian Michael Bendis with art by Alex Maleev the form of a letter to a child from Stana Morgan – a woman who married Matt Murdock/Daredevil and was likely killed by Bullseye. Finally, in “The Last Will and Testament of Mike Murdock” has Matt and Foggy watching a video tape of Mike Murdock from back in the day. Written and Penciled by Karl & Kurt Kesel, Inked by Tom Palmer.  In Daredevil Road Warrior – a 4-part limited series released digitally in February and March (and later reprinted as Daredevil #0.1) in which we get the trip from New York to San Francisco for Kirsten and Matt Murdock which was far from ordinary and included several stops and plenty of fighting.  In May, we got the start of Volume 4 of Daredevil – with the same creative team that ended volume 3. Matt Murdock and Kirsten McDuffie are in San Francisco and started their own law office and Daredevil is fitting right in by saving little girls from kidnappings and/or bombs.    Over the next few issues, Daredevil goes up against SF's new kingpin of crime – The Owl – with the help of another blind vigilante The Shroud. At times it seems like Shroud and Daredevil are working together, other times they are fighting it out. It's complicated, I guess. They take down the Owl but Max/Shroud is still looking for Julia Carpenter whom he's in love with. Meanwhile Foggy, in a wheelchair and fake beard, comes to Matt's and Kirsten's new law office.   In issue 5, we get a funeral for Foggy Nelson (though he's not actually dead) after he confessed to wanting to “go out like a superhero” and then jumped into a big green machine Leapfrog used to attack San Francisco and was equipped with a bomb.  His jump allows the machine to explode safely while allowing Foggy to die a hero.  In issues 6-7, we get a two-part story as part of the Original Sin crossover event.  Daredevil is back in New York and has a vision of his father hitting his mother while he was a baby. He seeks out his mother for answers and finds out she's been arrested and is being sent to Wakanda. He investigates and uncovering a potentially illegal plot involving a US General and Wakandan officials, he confronts Queen Shuri about it and secures her release. Finally able to ask about the vision, he learns she left due to postpartum depression. The story ends with a heartfelt reconciliation between Maggie and her son.  The year wraps up by setting up the next big arc — Kilgrave, the Purple Man, and his superpowered children — which spills into 2015. Which we'll need to wait until then to discuss.  Lastly, we'll talk about the Daredevil: Dark Knights limited series. This 8-book collection contains three stories – the first story “Angels Unaware” is write and penciled by Lee Weeks and is about Daredevil braving a snowstorm to get a heart from a crashed helicopter meant for a young girl. The second story, titled “A man named Buggit” written and penciled by David Lapham in which Daredevil follows a 10-inch man who has stolen evidence needed to save a client. The final story is titled “In the Name of the King” and shows a team-up of Daredevil and Misty Knight in the Caribbean written by Jimmy Palmiotti and penciled by Thony Silas. Honestly the less said about the last story the better.  This Week's Spotlight: No Spotlight This Week! Sorry.

In this episode of SB Talks, CEO Vincent O'Neill and CIO Nick Ryder unpack the Reserve Bank's Cup Day decision and what it signals for future rate moves. They explore the latest inflation data and the RBA's updated forecasts, highlighting the delicate balance between a softening labour market and above-target inflation. Across the Pacific, the US Federal Reserve's stance is equally nuanced, with rate cuts, shutdowns, and inflation uncertainty clouding the outlook.  Nick shares insights on the US earnings season, the AI investment surge, and whether we are edging toward bubble territory. The conversation turns to private credit markets, where recent fraud cases raise red flags and prompt a closer look at lending standards.   Music provided by: Autumn Trumpet Background Corporate by LesFM | https://lesfm.net/ Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Creative Commons CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

Episode 85 - Murdock and Marvel: 2013 Part 2 It was a pretty monumental year in comics, in the opinion of your humble co-host.  2013 is probably the best year for new comics of the 21st century to date, with a ton of variety and quality.  And people noticed!  This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2013.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil v3 #20-32, Daredevil: End of Days #2-8, Daredevil: Dark Knights #1-5, Avengers #34, New Avengers #33-34, Secret Avengers #34-35, Uncanny Avengers #2, Dark Avengers #187-188, Winter Soldier #13, Deadpool #11, Indestructible Hulk #9-10, Superior Spider-Man Team-Up #1, What if? AVX #1-4  Writer: Mark Waid (#20-31) Waid and Samnee (#32)  Pencils: Chris Samnee (#20-27 and #30-32), Javier Rodriguez (#28-29)  Inks: Chris Samnee (#20-27 and #31-32), Alvaro Lopez (#28), Javier Rodriguez (#29-30)  The year kicks off right where 2012 left off — Daredevil's been captured by a villain called Coyote, who has similar powers to the Spot and has literally separated Matt's head from his body. Still alive, Matt learns Coyote's been using his portals to smuggle weapons, drugs, and even people for cartels, with his main operation being human trafficking. Daredevil eventually escapes, shuts down Coyote's control machine, and discovers that the real Spot is another victim of all this. The story ends with both villains vanishing before Matt can find out who's behind it.  Next, Superior Spider-Man (Otto Octavius in Peter Parker's body) shows up at Kirsten McDuffie's request, worried Matt's losing his grip. The two heroes clash briefly before teaming up to stop an upgraded (with Doc Ock tech) Stilt-Man. Afterward, Spider-Man tells Matt about Kirsten's concerns, leading Matt to reconnect with Foggy, who reveals he may have cancer.  As Foggy's diagnosis — Ewing's Sarcoma — is confirmed, Matt continues investigating the group hunting him. Nelson & Murdock gets attacked, Kirsten breaks things off, and Matt's approached by a mysterious man in an orange jumpsuit offering to take him to his enemies.  Turns out those enemies are led by Bullseye, who's still alive but kept on life support. He's been trying to recreate the accident that gave Daredevil his powers, creating a single enhanced warrior — Ikari — who nearly kills Matt in battle. The final showdown with Ikari and Lady Bullseye on Bullseye's behalf ends with a building collapsing and Bullseye drowning in radioactive material that leaves him blinded and badly burned.  Next, Matt reconnects with his childhood bully Nate Hackett, now wrongfully accused due to former ties with the Sons of the Serpent. Matt helps him fight back in court, uncovering a Serpent plot and stopping a courthouse bombing in the process.  Late in the year we also get a fun one-shot where Daredevil teams up with the Silver Surfer to stop an alien named Ru'ach, who pretends to seek asylum on Earth but is really out to destroy it. During the story, Daredevil does get to ride the surfboard.  The year closes with The Jester inciting riots by doxxing jurors after a high-profile trial. Daredevil intervenes, only to discover the Sons of the Serpent are pulling the strings. With Foggy's help Matt traces their roots to the Darkhold, an ancient spell book, and travels to Kentucky to meet Darkhold expert Jack Russell — a.k.a. Werewolf by Night when Dr. Strange isn't able to provide much assistance. But before he can get answers, he's shot while trying to save two so-called “monsters” from an angry mob. Not complete, this story will continue as we move into 2014.   The other big story that ran the first half of the year was called Daredevil End of Days. This 8-part limited series by some of my favorite Daredevil creators is absolutely amazing and deserves full attention from this week's spotlight.     This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil End of Days #1 December 2012 “Part 1” through Daredevil End of Days #8 August 2013 “Part 8” Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway Sometimes comics are pretty awesome.

He explains how the firm identifies companies not just with competitive advanatges today, but those expanding those advnatages over time. They unpack what it means to analyse culture as an investment factor. How can the behaviours and adaptability of a management team shape a company's long-term moat? What does "cultural strength" or "cultural alignment" actually look like in practice? And how does WCM's collaboration with leading academics help turn a qualitative concept into a repeatable research framework that supports performance through changing market cycles?   Music provided by: Autumn Trumpet Background Corporate by LesFM | https://lesfm.net/ Music promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/ Creative Commons CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

It's not surprising that those suffering from chronic pain are more likely to experience depression and thoughts of suicide. As Christians, how are we supposed to think about these things? Should we understand depression differently than the world does? Does the Bible offer any hope, or are we merely victims of biology?  This episode is an honest, even painful, look at how I've walked through depression and suicidal thoughts in my life, and how God's word can guide us into not only understanding why we experience these things, but what we can do about them.

Episode 83 - Murdock and Marvel: 2012 Part 2 2012 was a year when the big news in comics all happened outside of shops, with movie theaters and social media dominating the industry. This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2012.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil v3 #6-19, Daredevil: End of Days #1 Fantastic Four #600, New Avengers #19-24 and #30-31, Amazing Spider-Man #677, Punisher #7 and 10, Avengers #24, Avengers vs X-Men #1-4 and #7-9, Avenging Spider-Man #6, Hulk #50, AVX Vs #2, Daredevil Annual #1, Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe #4, Secret Avengers #33  Writer: Mark Waid (#6-19)  Pencils: Marcos Martin (#6), Paolo Rivera (#7 and #9-10), Kano (#8), Khoi Pham (#10.1 and 13), Marco Checchetto (#11), Chris Samnee (#12, #14-16, and #18-19), Mike Allred (#17)  Inks: Marcos Martin (#6), Joe Rivera (#7 and #9-10), Kano (#8), Khoi Pham (#10.1), Marco Checchetto (#11), Chris Smanee (#12, #14-16 and #18-19), Tom Palmer (#13), Mike Allred (#17)  2012 Begins with the last couple books of the Omege Drive, MegaCrime Organizations and the Mutually Assured Destruction that allowed Daredevil and friends to get out of a sticky situation but also left a target on Daredevil's back.   In February, we get an award winning 1-shot where after Matt Murdock attends a holiday party, he volunteers to take some blind kids on a ski trip. The bus ends up getting into a crash and Daredevil tries to lead the kids out of the cold – but it ends up being the kids that save Murdock and themselves.  In March, we get a two-part story that starts in Amazing Spider-Man #677 called “The Devil and the Details”. In it, we see Peter Parker lamenting his recent breakup with Carlie Cooper, trying to be cool with Black Cat (which goes horrible) and then seeking out Matt Murdock & Daredevil when Black Cat is arrested. She says she's been frames for a break-in at Horizon Labs.    After Black Cat breaks out of police custody, the three locate the inventor of stolen Holographic projector. He's been poisoned and has little time to live. Spider-Man rushes him to a hospital while Black Cat and Daredevil secure the projector from members of Black Spectre and basically removing them as a threat. As a “reward” for helping, Black Cat and Daredevil passionately kiss with Spider-Man looking on and saying one of the best lines ever “I think this is my super villain origin.” They go back to Matt's place but before anything happens – he's called away to the graveyard of his father where some weird things are going on. Specifically, that his and other graves have been emptied.  This leads us into the next story that involves heading underground and a confrontation with Mole Man. Mole Man is stealing coffins to try to find the love of his life Lorna whom he loved as Dr Harvey Elder and wants to be with. Daredevil ultimately “saves” the body of Lorna (and some diamonds) and returns to the surface. Upon going home, he reads a note from Black Cat admitting she was hired to steal the Omega Drive from him – but doesn't and warns him to watch his back  After a 10.1 book that acts as a lead-up, we get a 3-part crossover where Spider-Man, Daredevil, and the Punisher team up in order to protect the Omega Drive from the Megacrime organizations with each book getting part of the story titled “The Omega Effect.” This will be our spotlight story this week.  Next, we get a 1-shot story showing Matt Murdock and Kirsten McDuffie on a date – which goes well until a Black Spectre agent threatens the pair about the Omega Dive. That leads to a giant battle in the middle of Time Square between himself (with the Omega Drive) and the 4 megacrime organizations while the events are broadcast throughout the city. The fight ends with a Black Spectre Agent securing the drive and leaving. Later, Daredevil kicks down the door of Avengers Mansion, where members of the New Avengers - Wolverine, Mockingbird, Spider-Man, Iron Fist, and Luke Cage - are changing out of Black Spectre uniforms and we learn the fight in Time Square was staged and the drive is destroyed.    Turns out there are repercussions for losing Latveria a lot of laundered money and Daredevil is next abducted and being held at Castle Doom in Latveria by the Minister of Bank Chancellor Exchequer Beltran. After a failed escape attempt, Daredevil is eventually rescued by the Avengers but not before some nanobots are injected into Daredevil causing his senses to all but disappear.   Back in America, Hank Pym shrinks to micro size and enters Murdock's brain to fight the nanobots with the guidance of Dr Strange.  Despite some weird readings, Pym successfully destroy all the nanobots and Murdock's senses start to return. Later, Murdock returns to Nelson & Murdock law offices where he's confronted by Foggy Nelson saying he's found Matt's secret – showing him Jack Murdock's remains and boxing gloves in Matt's desk. A stunned Matt tries to tell Foggy he didn't rob his own father's grave, that he's been set up, but Foggy will hear none of it. Foggy tells Matt that they're through until Matt gets the help he needs.  After a flashback story involving Stilt-man, we see Nelson and Murdock still at odds over the remains. Foggy's worries about Matt's mental state are increased because Matt calls him and says Milla Donovan is in apartment unaware of anything bad ever happening to her. Nelson agrees to go to the hospital where Milla was committed if Daredevil will look into a case involving a drug lord Hierra dying and an innocent nurse accused of murder.   The year ends with Foggy telling Matt that he must have hallucinated Milla because he can see her inside her room at the hospital. Daredevil going after one of the drug lords bosses only to suspect Jardeim Salazar himself seemly falls down an elevator shaft trying to escape him. That leads to Daredevil dropping in on the only other Hierra's bosses as he tries to consolidate power – Anthony Tortino. Daredevil tries to warn the men about their common enemy, but things quickly turn south. Daredevil believes it's The Spot who's doing all this and jumps into a circular black portal after Tortino but is knocked out. He awakens to his hands being cuffed behind a post. Daredevil shouts in rage that Spot is a dead man, but the black hands that abducted him pick his detached head and the tormentor introduces himself as Coyote.  This Week's Spotlight: Avenging Spider-Man #6 June 2012 “The Omega Effect Part 1”, Punisher vol 9 #10 June 2012 “The Omega Effect Part 2” and Daredevil vol 3 #11 June 2012 “The Omega Effect Part 3”  Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway It is getting harder to separate comics from culture, to the detriment of the industry and its readers.

Episode 81 - Murdock and Marvel: 2011 Part 2 It was a quiet year in the comics world, but there were a lot of developments going on behind the scenes, and up on the screen.  Oh, and we did get ONE new character worth talking about…  This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2011.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil v2 #512, Daredevil v3 #1-5, Daredevil Reborn #1-4, Shadowland #5, Ultimate Avengers #15-18, Ultimate Spider-Man #150, Bullseye: Perfect Game #2, What if? 200 #1, Marvel Adventures Spider-Man #15, Avengers #17, Vengeance #2, Captain America Corps #4-5, New Avengers #16, FF #11, Season One Guide #1 and the Spider-Man Chapter One graphic novel.  Writer: Andy Diggle (Reborn #1-4), Mark Waid (#1-5)  Pencils: David Gianfelice (Reborn #1-4), Paolo Rivera and Marcos Martin (#1), Paolo Rivera (#2-3), Marco Martin (#4-5)  Inks: David Gianfelice (Reborn #1-4), Marcos Martin and Joe Rivera (#1), Joe Rivera (#2-3), Marcos Martin (#4-5)  2011 begins with the final few issues of the Shadowland crossover event we talked about a couple weeks ago. In it, Murdock is the leader of the Hand and tries to use them for good in NYC but he's corrupted by Snakeroot and “the Beast” and threatens to take down all of humanity before Iron Fist, Luke Cage and friends can stop him. Elektra smuggles Murdock's lifeless body from the scene but who know he survives because Ben Urich gets a recording from Murdock saying he's sorry for what happened and needs to get away to find the right path again.  In March, we learn what happened to Murdock in a 4-part limited series entitles Daredevil Reborn. In it, we learn he's been wandering the country by foot and by bus and has found his way to New Mexico and proves to be the only story we get outside New York. We'll cover it as this week's spotlight story.  In September, we get issue #1 of Daredevil volume 3, a double sized issue from a new creative team. In this book we actually get 3 stories – “Here Comes…Daredevil” a 1-page recap of Daredevil history, “Man without Fear” in which Daredevil saves a mob bosses daughter from being abducted by the Spot during her wedding day but then Matt gets removed as lawyer from a case he's working on because he's Daredevil. Finally, in “Sometimes, in my dreams… I can See” Matt goes to his father's grave site with Foggy.  As volume 2 continues, Daredevil has a talk with Captain America, Steve Rogers, about what he did in New York during Shadowland and convinces him it won't happen again. Next Daredevil investigates why no one else was willing to work on the Jobrani case he was removed from. Turns out other lawyers who considered it were being threatened and supposedly Jobrani is hearing voices. After a run-in with the Klaw – who was the one causing Jobrani to hear voices, Murdock decides the best way he can help people is coaching them to represent themselves in court. After working with Jobrani, he wins his court case and Matt decides this is the new way forward for Nelson & Murdock.  Meeting with new potential clients under their new business model, Murdock meats with Austin Cao, a blind man who was working as a linguist for Midas Investments before he was abruptly fired. While that initially doesn't look like much of a case, some men try to murder Austin and Matt while they are talking which causes Matt to take the case as Daredevil. Matt dispatches the mercenaries and he hides Austin at his apartment.   There he learns Austin overheard parts of a plot by Midas to broker a deal between Hydra, A.I.M., Black Spector, Zodiac and possibly other crime organizations. Daredevil confronts Austin's old boss Mr. Randall who tells him he was only trying to protect Austin by firing him. More Midas mercenaries attack Randall who realizes what he's done, and Daredevil must fight them off including Bruiser, an up-and-coming mercenary with powers trying to make a name for himself.   This story ends in early 2012 with a face-off between Daredevil and the 5 megacrime organizations using the threat of mutually assured destruction. He tells them they're going to let him and his friends go, because in order for one of them to take the Omega drive, they'll have to kill the other four agents and inevitably start a gang war. The agents lower their weapons and Daredevil walks out with Randall and Austin. He tells the terrorists that if their bosses want the Omega drive, they know where to find him.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil Reborn #1 from March 2011 “Reborn, Chapter One” through Daredevil Reborn #4 July 2011 “Reborn, Chapter Four”  Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway It's time for a reset at Marvel!
