Are you interested in place and place-making? Summary of the article titled Place and Place-making in cities: A global perspective from 2010, by John Friedmann, published in the Planning Theory and Practice journal. This is a great preparation to our next interview with James Mant in episode 334 talking about placemaking as creating the streetscape from the building to the middle of the road. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see the place and placemaking through interactions and citizen attachment. This article advocates for a collaborative approach to placemaking, emphasising the importance of local engagement.Find the article through this link.Abstract: Since the 1990s, interest in place (as opposed to space) has surged across a spectrum of social science disciplines including planning. But the empirical focus has been chiefly on cities along the Atlantic Rim even as vast new areas in Asia, Africa, and Latin America were undergoing accelerated urbanization. This essay outlines a planning perspective to global place-making in the face of fierce inter-city competition for footloose capital. The question of how a place can be defined, and what criteria might serve to delineate a place occupies the first part of this essay. The definition proposed encompasses both a physical/built environment at the neighborhood scale and the subjective feelings its inhabitants harbor towards each other as an emplaced community. Specific criteria are discussed, with brief illustrations from Taiwan and China. But the art of place-making has not informed planners of the swaths of the urban in the newly industrializing global regions of Asia and elsewhere. Their principal preoccupation has been with the branding of cities and the advanced infrastructure required by global capital. In the process, millions of ordinary folks have been displaced and their neighborhoods erased, as speed, movement, and power have been valued more than the fragile social infrastructure of place-based communities. The essay concludes with an argument that place-making is everyone's job, local residents as well as official planners, and that old places can be “taken back” neighborhood by neighborhood, through collaborative people-centered planning. Examples from Japan, China, and Canada are used to illustrate these propositions.Connected episodes you might be interested in:No.225R - Positioning place-making as a social process: A systematic literature reviewNo.226 - Interview with Bruce Marshall about placemakingNo.255R - Participation, co-creation, and public spaceYou can find the transcript through ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠th⁠i⁠s link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.What was the most interesting part for you?

De illusie van coaching en aan jezelf werken, is dat mensen vaak hopen of denken dat ze zichzelf helemaal helen en compleet maken en dat ze nooit meer ergens getriggerd op worden. Het allerliefste wat ze willen en denken te bereiken, is dat die 'vervelende' gevoelens dan voor altijd wegblijven. En als dat niet zo is, worden ze boos op zichzelf, omdat ze nog steeds getriggerd worden. News flash, dat is het leven. Het leven is niet bedoeld om 'gevoelloos' door het leven te gaan. Het leven is het leven en wil geleefd worden. Bij het leven is kwetsbaarheid, is angst, is verdriet, is kut én bij het leven is veiligheid, liefde, plezier, genieten, et cetera. Het leven is alles bij elkaar en alles door elkaar. Het leven is naar mijn idee bedoeld om de rust te vinden midden in de chaos. Hoe je dat doet, vertel ik je in deze podcastaflevering. Daarnaast geef ik ook een update hoe het gaat met de verbouwing en waar ik allemaal mee bezig ben (geweest) en wat er nog komt. Heb je vragen of wil je je ergens voor aanmelden?

Nous avons parfois l'impression que le climat actuel est anxiogène. Les crises se succèdent et nous ne savons plus comment y répondre. Dans cette épisode, Joan et Stéphane prennent le temps de réfléchisse sur l'état de notre monde et explorent différentes avenues qui nous sont offertes pour demeurer sain d'esprit.   Site internet: https://questiondecroire.podbean.com/ ApplePodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/question-de-croire/id1646685250  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4Xurt2du9A576owf0mIFSj    Contactez-nous: questiondecroire@gmail.com   Notre commanditaire: L'Église Unie du Canada  Moncredo.org   * Musique de Lesfm, pixabay.com.

Utilisée avec permission.     Bonjour, bienvenue à Question de croire, un podcast qui aborde la foi et la spiritualité, une question à la fois. Cette semaine, comment survivre dans le climat actuel?   La tentation d'offrir des trucs pour survivre aux crises actuelles   Un jour, quand mes trois enfants étaient toutes petites, la période la plus épuisante de ma vie, (et d'ailleurs je fais un clin d'œil à toutes celles et ceux qui se retrouvent dans cette situation maintenant), je m'en étais ouverte à un prof de la fac de théologie que je connaissais. Il était du côté catholique, mais on était ensemble dans plusieurs projets de réflexion théologique œcuménique. Il m'avait donné un précieux conseil. Écoute bien Stéphane, ça peut te servir. Il était allé en retraite spirituelle dans je ne sais quel monastère formidable, sûrement avec une très belle vue et puis régulièrement des offices. Il m'avait expliqué qu'il était un peu pressé par les différentes tâches académiques et les problèmes liés à sa paroisse, parce qu'il était aussi prêtre en paroisse. Et puis, tiens-toi bien, une de ces personnes consacrées dans la vie du monastère lui avait donné le truc et astuce suivant : « quand je mange, je mange, quand je marche, je marche, quand je lis, je lis ». Il lui avait donc conseillé de ne faire qu'une chose à la fois et de la faire bien et en pleine conscience. Alors, un peu épatée, j'avais regardé ce monsieur de plus de 45 ans, célibataire, prêtre, prof de fac, qui me disait ça à moi. Et j'avais dit, écoute : quand je mange, je donne à manger à quelqu'un. Quand je marche, je pousse une poussette et je tiens quelqu'un d'autre par la main. Quand je parle au téléphone, une autre personne m'interrompt tout le temps et me parle constamment. Et quand je dors, quelqu'un décide de ne pas dormir et donc je ne dors plus. C'est un petit peu la même chose maintenant; il y a un climat particulièrement difficile et des fois quand je scrolle sur Instagram ou autre et que je vois des tas d'astuces : mettre les jambes contre le mur, faire de la méditation et tout, je repense à ces bons conseils qu'on peut donner aux gens pour aller bien, alors que c'est le chaos total autour d'eux.   Les crises qui prennent trop de place dans nos vies   Oui, je trouve qu'il y a une certaine sagesse dans le conseil que tu as donné dans le sens d'essayer de ne pas trop se faire envahir et que le contexte actuel prenne toute la place dans nos vies. Mais en réalité, c'est difficile parce que le climat actuel a des répercussions partout dans tout ce qu'on fait. Au moment où on enregistre cet épisode, nous sommes au Canada dans cette crise avec les tarifs d'importation exportation avec les États-Unis. Les États-Unis sont quand même le premier partenaire commercial du Canada. On peut dire, bon, c'est une crise, les marchés fluctuent et tout et tout, mais ça a des répercussions à l'épicerie. Il y a des gens qui sont soit à la retraite ou qui planifient leur retraite. Toutes ces variations de marché, ça a un impact réel. Il y a des gens qui perdent leur emploi. Donc, c'est facile de dire ah, j'élimine ça dans ma tête, je me concentre sur moi-même et ma petite chose. Mais c'est difficile de dire ça à quelqu'un qui a peur de perdre son emploi, qui se demande comment il-elle va faire pour nourrir ses trois enfants. Ça peut être très envahissant, ça peut être très angoissant. Et on en parle un peu, mais on a très peu de choses à offrir pour aider ces personnes-là.   Que peut faire l'Église dans le climat actuel   Finalement, nous, d'un point de vue de l'Église, d'un point de vue des religions, comme tu dis, qu'est-ce qu'on a à offrir ? C'est vrai que j'étais assez surprise la première fois qu'une stagiaire avec laquelle j'ai parlé il y a quelques années, une stagiaire que j'avais dans mon staff dans une Église à Strasbourg, m'a parlé très franchement de ses problèmes de santé mentale. Et c'était un peu la première fois dans un contexte d'Église en France; elle venait un petit peu de l'extérieur puisqu'elle faisait un stage plutôt orienté, je ne me rappelle plus très bien, mais c'était un peu secrétariat ou quelque chose comme ça. Elle en parlait super librement, là où finalement c'était très, très, très rare dans mon milieu d'Église d'origine qu'on parle de santé mentale. D'ailleurs, on a consacré tout un épisode avec l'ami Olivier sur ces questions-là. D'un autre côté, ces derniers temps, je me suis rendu compte qu'il y a beaucoup de bon dans le fait de pouvoir poser des diagnostics, quelque chose qui permet aux gens de comprendre certaines de leurs réactions, certaines de leurs pseudo-inadéquations avec les situations. En même temps, je me demande si, par certains aspects, ça ne nous rajoute pas un poids supplémentaire, dans le sens où on se dit « bon, moi j'ai eu le diagnostic de ci ou ça, ou bien moi je me sens comme ceci, et donc je n'arriverai pas à faire ça, ou ce n'est pas pour les gens comme moi, ou alors si on aménage, je ne sais pas, je n'y arriverai pas ». Avant, on avait un peu cette espèce d'utopie qu'avec un peu de bonne volonté, on arrivait à tout faire. Et maintenant, on est presque parti dans l'autre sens, on se dit que tout est devenu si compliqué qu'on ne va probablement pas réussir à le faire. Et ça, c'est quelque chose qui m'inquiète aussi par bout. Du coup, en Église, je trouve que ce qui pourrait devenir de plus en plus notre force, c'est d'être accessible à tous et à toutes, d'avoir des activités qui peuvent parler à un maximum de personnes, avoir des lieux où tu peux choisir ou de parler ou de te taire, de t'asseoir sur un banc ou de t'allonger sur un banc. On pourrait finalement développer encore plus le fait qu'on peut être des lieux de refuge, qu'on peut être des sanctuaires dans lesquels peuvent se vivre un certain nombre de choses et d'interactions, peu importe finalement nos besoins, nos spécificités, nos diagnostics. J'espère que comme ça, on arrivera à contribuer à quelque chose d'un peu plus sain dans le climat actuel. Je me rappelle que finalement, Jésus avait des fois un petit comportement autistique, si on y pense un peu. Après, je ne veux pas faire un diagnostic sauvage sur Jésus, mais quand d'un seul coup il disait aux uns et aux autres « j'en peux plus, je suis sursaturé d'informations, je vais me mettre là-bas, là-bas, où on me fout la paix ». Quand il prend cette décision ultra radicale d'aller au désert, on sent vraiment qu'il est en surstimulation et qu'il a besoin qu'on lui foute la paix, qu'on lui laisse un grand espace devant lui. Dans nos sociétés, on a de plus en plus de mal à couper. Je suis la première à être sur les réseaux sociaux, je suis la première à m'intéresser à plein de choses. Récemment, j'ai vu un documentaire qui rapportait que certains jeunes passent jusqu'à 12 heures par jour sur les réseaux sociaux; 12 heures ! Peut-être que mes filles en font un peu partie, j'espère que non. Alors bien sûr, il y a aussi les gamers qui font quand même aussi des trucs d'interaction sociale. Ce n'est pas juste scroller. Il y a toutes sortes de façons d'être sur Internet ou les réseaux sociaux. Il n'y en a pas qui sont meilleures ou moins bonnes, il y a juste différentes façons d'y être. Et quelles sont nos possibilités de nous couper un peu de toute cette agitation du monde? Moi, j'ai tendance à espérer que dans les Églises, on cultive ce genre de choses. J'ai beaucoup d'admiration pour mes collègues qui partent trois, quatre, dix heures en forêt avec des enfants, avec des jeunes, avec des adultes et qui leur proposent de couper. Il me semble que c'est ce qu'on a à offrir.   Prendre soin de soi   Certaines personnes s'attendent à ce que les Églises soient ce lieu de résistance au climat actuel. Oui, peut-être. Mais en même temps, un peu comme tu l'as soulevé, il faut prendre soin de soi. L'exemple que j'utilise souvent, c'est ce qu'on appelle ici les aidants naturels; ces personnes qui prennent soin de parents âgés ou d'enfants qui ont des problèmes spécifiques, ce qu'ils font par amour, mais ça demande beaucoup de temps, ça demande beaucoup d'énergie. Et on leur dit : si vous vous épuisez, on n'aura pas seulement entre guillemets un problème, mais deux problèmes. On va avoir une personne en perte d'autonomie et une autre personne en épuisement. Donc, il faut faire attention à soi pour ne pas se brûler. Et c'est vrai qu'on est constamment confronté à des problèmes qui semblent immenses, qui semblent trop gros pour nous, ça peut être décourageant. On peut se demander, mais moi, je ne suis qu'une seule personne. Comment puis-je changer la façon dont les systèmes internationaux fonctionnent? Peut-être une façon, c'est de revenir à soi, un peu comme tu dis. J'ai arrêté d'écouter les téléjournaux parce que c'était trop difficile émotivement, et arrêté d'avoir des conversations avec des gens qui ne sont pas là pour échanger, mais pour débattre et gagner un argument, des gens, ce que j'appelle, endoctrinés. Souvent on dit, ah, il faut garder les canaux de communication ouverts avec les gens différents. Peut-être, mais est-ce qu'on est vraiment obligé d'être en contact avec des gens nocifs, des gens toxiques, des gens qui ne veulent rien savoir de nos points de vue qui sont juste là pour régurgiter la propagande, régurgiter ce qu'ils croient être parole d'évangile et qu'il ne l'est pas? Donc, il faut prendre soin de soi, il faut faire attention à soi et ce n'est pas se désengager, c'est juste de dire : il y a des moments où il faut être dans la bataille et il y a des moments où il faut se protéger.   Connaître ses limites   Il n'y a pas longtemps, l'une de mes filles a vécu un événement un peu fort dans sa vie. Elle m'appelle et me dit « Maman, je ne vais vraiment pas bien, je ne sais pas quoi faire aujourd'hui pour aller bien ». Je lui ai dit « Écoute, je te suggère de faire une liste de choses qui te font du bien, des choses qui sont réalistes, que tu peux faire là tout de suite, des choses pour lesquelles il faut que tu t'organises un petit peu.» C'est toujours pareil, le court, le moyen, le long terme. Et puis des listes de choses qu'on pourrait imaginer ensemble, où il faut un peu de budget, un peu de temps, un peu d'organisation. Alors elle a fait cette liste, et de temps en autre, je lui rappelle de se référer à cette liste. Je me fais aussi cette liste mentale. Par exemple j'ai besoin d'aller régulièrement au spa. J'adore les bains, les bulles, le hammam, le sauna, mes copines… passer du temps avec mes copines, elles me racontent leurs histoires, du temps dans le jardin avec mon mari, la louange et la prière. Clairement, ce sont des moments où j'oublie un peu tout ce qui m'habite et où je vis cet instant présent, où je me marre, où je profite, où j'admire la nature. D'un seul coup, je suis juste dans ce moment-là qui me rend heureuse et en vie. Et parfois aussi, je m'autorise à regarder en face les pressions. Voilà, les pressions, soit que j'assume, soit que je subis. Et parfois aussi, je le dis aux gens. D'ailleurs, je le dis ces derniers temps, je le dis un peu plus aux gens. Je leur dis, écoutez, je suis au maximum de mes compétences. J'ai changé de pays, j'ai changé d'Église, j'ai changé un peu de métier, parce que je ne suis plus pasteur de paroisse, je ne suis plus ministre en paroisse. Et je suis arrivée au maximum de mes possibilités de surcompensation, d'adaptation. Je déçois probablement, on estime que je devrais faire plus, et ça je l'entends, mais je n'y arrive pas. Si je vais plus loin, c'est ma santé mentale qui va devoir prendre le relais, ou en tout cas je vais devoir chercher quelque part où ce n'est pas bon d'aller chercher. Donc je regrette de décevoir, moi je ne peux pas en faire plus parce que je connais mes limites. Les gens sont souvent frappés que l'on connaisse ses limites, ça c'est quelque chose qui me saute aux yeux quand je dis aux gens, par exemple, écoutez, moi je fais toujours une sieste au milieu du jour et c'est comme ça que je m'en sors. Je fais toujours un goûter vers 4-5 heures et c'est comme ça que je peux bosser le soir. J'explique un peu que j'ai mis en place une certaine hygiène de vie pour pouvoir continuer à travailler dans l'Église, à bosser le soir, le week-end, les jours fériés. Ça m'a demandé de mettre en place une hygiène de vie particulière, adaptée à ce que ma vocation demande en termes d'emploi du temps. Et j'encourage chacun et chacune à oser dire ce genre de choses, non pas pour dire « je suis plus spéciale que toi, j'ai tel ou tel besoin », mais pour dire en fait « je sais que pour pouvoir mener à bien le moins imparfaitement possible ma mission, je mets en place un certain nombre de choses et ça m'amène des fois à dire non ou ce n'est pas possible ou à dire plus tard, et c'est comme ça que je m'en sors.   Remettre les crises dans le long terme   Une autre chose qu'on peut faire, c'est prendre un pas de recul et retourner dans notre tradition en tant que croyante, en tant que croyant. Par exemple, dans la première lettre de Jean, chapitre 2, verset 17, on dit « Et le monde passe, et sa convoitise aussi, mais celui qui fait la volonté de Dieu demeure éternellement. » Les choses passent et Dieu demeure. On a cette chance, en tant que chrétien, d'avoir une histoire sur le long terme. Dans le Premier Testament, on a tous ces prophètes qui font face à des crises terribles et quelque part, le peuple de Dieu continue à survivre. Ce n'est pas facile, ce n'est pas plaisant, mais d'être capable de mettre ça dans du long terme, de dire que ça fait partie de l'expérience humaine, ça fait partie de l'expérience du peuple de Dieu, de faire face à de grands défis. Les gens ont su conserver une certaine forme d'espoir. Les croyants ont conservé la foi malgré toutes les épreuves. Malgré tout, on n'est pas seul dans tout ça. Ce n'est pas juste notre génération qui est attaquée. On a toute cette communion des saints, si je peux utiliser du langage théologique, toutes ces personnes-là qui sont avec nous. Tous les croyants à travers le monde sont avec nous et Dieu demeure avec nous. Ça peut aider, pendant quelques secondes, de se rappeler de tout ça et de se dire que peut-être ça va bien aller dans le fond, sur le long terme.   Se souvenir de ceux et celles qui nous ont précédés   Pour moi, c'est vraiment exactement ça, c'est totalement réconfortant de penser à la nuée des témoins. Certains vont associer la nuée des témoins à nos contemporains, d'autres vont partir dans des choses un peu plus mémorielles. Du côté réformé, on est moins à l'aise sur des questions comme ça, mémorielles. Du côté luthérien, on pratique plutôt une forme de tolérance ou de compréhension. Du côté catholique on est totalement à l'aise, décomplexé, pas de problème. Mais néanmoins, moi, c'est le souvenir de ce pour quoi une grande partie de mes ancêtres proches, les générations les plus proches ont lutté. Je me rappelle quand même cette grand-mère, grand-mère Madeleine, qui a perdu une jambe dans la Résistance, dans la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Je l'ai toujours connue unijambiste, alors qu'en fait, c'était une gamine qui ne savait pas trop où aller et qui a vu un endroit où il y avait de la soupe si on filait un coup de main. Maintenant, on appelle ça de la grande résistance. Mais enfin, quand même, elle était résistante. Elle a résisté. Et bien sûr, penser aussi au côté espagnol, celles et ceux qui ont voulu résister à la dictature avec plus ou moins de succès. Se rappeler qu'en fait, ils ont lutté, ils ont eu des vicissitudes. Il ne faut pas comparer, chaque génération est différente. Des choses ont quand même touché leur chair. Mais ils ont lutté pour que moi, je puisse continuer à exercer une forme de liberté d'expression, d'autodétermination. Le soin des plus vulnérables, c'est quelque chose qui est très présent dans mes lignées paternelles et maternelles. Je me rappelle ma grand-mère qui me parlait de son grand-père, donc ça fait loin en arrière, et qui disait, tu sais, mon grand-père, c'était celui du village qui ne battait pas les enfants. Et ça, ça l'a guidée toute sa vie, d'avoir un grand-père qui pensait que ce n'était pas normal de battre les enfants, en tout cas qui ne battait pas les chiens, ni ses petits-enfants. Parfois, on a des ancêtres dont on peut être à la fois fière et puis aussi dont on se dit, j'ai une parole à porter et j'ai une spécificité à apporter et je peux m'appuyer là-dessus, sur cet héritage. Ensuite, il y a des héritages symboliques. Quand on n'est pas tout à fait à l'aise avec son arbre généalogique, ça peut arriver aussi, on n'en est pas responsable. On peut aussi s'inscrire dans des lignées symboliques, des courants de pensée forts qui nous structurent et qui nous permettent de trouver là des idées saines. Ça, c'est quand les idées sont saines. C'est vrai qu'il y a aussi tout plein d'idées malsaines et on ne peut pas toujours évacuer le fait qu'elles aient parfois de la popularité.   Conserver sa dignité pendant les crises   Tu parles de la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. Mon premier diplôme universitaire, c'est en histoire. Et je me souviens, j'ai lu des trucs sur la Shoah, sur l'Holocauste. Encore une fois, je ne compare pas ce qui s'est passé là avec notre climat actuel. Le lien que je fais, c'est une des grandes questions, pourquoi les Juifs n'ont pas résisté à la solution finale? Et bon, il y a eu des actes de résistance. Oh oui. Dans les forêts polonaises, il y a eu plein de petits îlots, mais pas quelque chose de généralisé, quoi. Un des arguments que je n'avais pas vu venir, c'était que peut-être une des grandes résistances, c'est la survie. C'est vrai. Et je fais toujours aussi le lien avec la bande dessinée Maus, une très grande bande dessinée où l'auteur raconte l'histoire de l'Holocauste à travers son père. Et cette scène que j'ai trouvée troublante et puissante à la fois où son père est dans les camps de la mort et il va se laver dans la rivière. Les autres disent « Mais qu'est-ce que tu fais là? » Et moi, j'ai vu ça comme un acte de dignité. « Je suis un être humain, j'ai le droit d'être propre. » Ça n'a rien changé, malheureusement, dans le grand ordre des choses. Mais cette résistance-là, dans un mouvement qui essaie de déshumaniser des êtres humains, de dire « Je suis un être humain, et rien de ce que vous pouvez faire va changer le fait que je suis un être humain tant ou si longtemps que je vais vivre. C'est d'une puissance magistrale et ça inspire.   Ne pas se couper des réalités actuelles   Avant, on parlait de rester déconnecté à certains moments, d'essayer de se protéger aussi de tout ça. Mais c'est compliqué parce qu'une partie de la vie sociale se passe maintenant sur les réseaux sociaux. Et donc, du coup, on est tous et toutes en train d'essayer de gérer notre lien aux réseaux sociaux, d'y être quand même assez pour être informé. Moi, par exemple, je travaille beaucoup avec la jeunesse, donc je ne voudrais pas me couper d'un certain nombre de choses. En même temps de ne pas y être trop, pour ne pas d'abord s'épuiser les yeux, la tête, puis pour ne pas voir trop de choses terribles. Mais par contre, ce qui nous prend par le revers, et je crois que tu as vu toi aussi les chiffres, c'est ce regain de religiosité auprès des jeunes. Des jeunes qui finalement trouvent sur les réseaux sociaux un certain nombre de choses qui les attirent concernant la religion, et qui finissent dans leur vingtaine par retourner à l'Église, tant et si bien qu'il y a plus de pratiques auprès des vingtenaires qu'auprès de leurs parents. C'est épatant, hein? Oui, j'ai vu il y a quelques jours. Vous qui écoutez, ce sera peut-être de vieilles nouvelles, mais c'est la société biblique en Grande-Bretagne qui publie un article expliquant une augmentation de la présence au culte de 50% au cours des six dernières années. Certaines gens ont dit : est-ce que ce sont des gens qui déclarent aller à l'Église ou des gens qui sont vraiment à l'Église? Parce qu'il y a toujours cette nuance-là dans les enquêtes. Lorsqu'on creuse un peu, c'est une augmentation réelle, surtout chez les jeunes hommes de moins de 35 ans. Et lorsqu'on est sur les médias sociaux, on comprend aussi ce que ça veut dire. Parfois, on peut faire des liens. Ces jeunes hommes sont souvent beaucoup plus conservateurs moralement. Ils sont souvent adeptes d'une certaine masculinité toxique, à la Andrew Tate, ce qu'on appelle ici « bro » masculinistes. Si on regarde ça statistiquement, on se dit « Ah, c'est merveilleux, on a enfin des jeunes qui viennent à l'Église, enfin de jeunes hommes qui viennent à l'Église ». Mais si on comprend ce qui se passe sur ces médias sociaux là, comment ce sont des vecteurs de radicalisation, de masculinité toxique, et que ces jeunes hommes-là viennent à l'Église pour une espèce de modèle d'homme qui domine la famille, une espèce d'image d'un patriarcat d'une autre époque, on se pose des questions. Et c'est ça que je disais plus tôt : il faut se protéger, mais il faut rester aussi informé. Moi j'ai un fils de 15 ans, je ne suis pas au-dessus de son épaule, mais plusieurs fois je lui demande ce qu'il consomme sur Internet. C'est vrai. Parce que je sais que ça existe. Je ne veux pas nier cette existence-là. Je ne veux pas dire, moi, je n'aime pas ça, ça n'existe pas. Non, il faut être au courant pour justement dire aux personnes autour de nous, il y a un problème là. Ce n'est pas banal, mais encore une fois, on s'expose à du contenu toxique et comment peut-on s'informer sans se laisser affecter? C'est toujours un jeu d'équilibre très difficile.   Prendre le temps de se poser   Comme on a dit que c'était trop facile, les petits trucs et astuces, je vais terminer avec un truc et astuce. On a dit en début d'émission que c'était vraiment la voie de la facilité, donc il y aura un peu d'autodérision. La première astuce : j'ai lu quelque part que Jean-Sébastien Bach, avant de commencer toute chose, toute partition, toute création, commençait par dire « Jésus vient-moi en aide ». Et il écrivait en haut de sa partition « Jésus sauve ». Donc se poser, se dire « Jésus viens-moi en aide », et puis « Jésus sauve ». Se rappeler qu'en fait, on a été sauvés. On a été sauvés par grâce, on vit de la grâce. C'est vrai qu'on aimerait faire de grandes œuvres. On aimerait que nos projets réussissent, on aimerait bien que les gens nous aiment bien en plus. Plein de trucs compliqués à la fois. Que notre podcast soit très populaire. Puis gagner un peu de sous de temps en temps aussi. Bon bref, pour pouvoir aller au spa justement. Bref. Et puis, à la fin, quand Bach avait terminé, il ne savait jamais trop, finalement, si ça allait plaire. On ne sait pas trop, je n'en sais rien, moi je n'ai jamais composé d'œuvres, mais il doit y avoir un énorme moment de doute, terrible. Il notait aussi Solo dei gloria, SDG. Ça, c'est une discipline que je commence à m'appliquer un peu, parce que ça me permet de me poser et de me rappeler ce pourquoi je suis là. Deuxième astuce : j'ai un collègue qui travaille dans le milieu des aumôneries, qui aussi est manager d'équipe. Il nous a expliqué en réunion de managers d'Église que trois fois par jour, il fait de la cohérence cardiaque, et que depuis qu'il fait ça, il se sent beaucoup plus relax. Avant, il sentait sa tension monter. Maintenant, trois fois par jour, il fait de la cohérence cardiaque. Je me dis : finalement, les pressions ne vont pas baisser, en tout cas pour la plupart d'entre nous. Les pressions mondiales non plus. Comme tu dis, il y a le climat politique, il y a les masculinistes, l'inflation, que sais-je encore. Mais nous, notre corps, la façon dont on traite notre corps, les respirations qu'on prend, la façon dont on regarde vers Jésus dans les moments de notre journée. On a ça pour le moment, on en a encore le contrôle. C'est un recentrage qui permet ensuite de donner au reste du monde. Alors voilà, j'ai terminé sur une note d'autodérision avec deux astuces. Et toi, est-ce que tu as des trucs et astuces ? Tout simplement, ne rien faire. Parfois, c'est un acte de résistance parce qu'il faut être productif, il faut faire plus, et tout, et tout, et tout… Parfois, ouvrir la télévision. Oui, je sais, je suis de ma génération, j'écoute encore la télévision. Et écouter un film stupide, et ne rien en tirer, mais juste être là et ne pas trop penser et accepter que je viens de perdre deux heures d'un point de vue productif, mais j'ai peut-être gagné deux heures de santé mentale quelque part. Ouais, c'est excellent. J'adore.   Conclusion   Merci, Joan. J'espère que ce podcast a été un moment où vous avez pu décrocher un peu. Merci pour la conversation, Joan. Merci, Stéphane. Et on vous rappelle que vous pouvez nous écrire si jamais vous avez le goût d'entrer en communication avec nous pour échanger, pour des sujets, pour des suggestions, parce que vous n'êtes pas d'accord, surtout si vous n'êtes pas d'accord, on veut vous entendre : questiondecroire@gmail.com Merci à l'Église Unie du Canada, notre commanditaire, qui a un site Internet moncredo.org, qui explore aussi des questions de foi et de spiritualité. À très bientôt, Joan. À très bientôt.

Episode 67 - Murdock and Marvel: 2004 Part 2 2004 was a relatively quiet year in comics, but there were some critical developments that made waves into the future.  Big movies, heroes back from the dead, and some important new faces! This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2004.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances: Daredevil #54-66, Daredevil: Father #1, Daredevil 2099 #1, Punisher #35-37, Exiles #39 and #43, Spider-Man Unlimited #1, Elektra #35, Marvel 1602 #8, Secret War #2-3, Powerless #1-5, Ultimate Elektra #1-3  Writing: David Mack (#54-55), Brian Michael Bendis (#56-66)  Pencils: David Mack (#54-55), Alex Maleev (#56-64 and 66), Maleev, Michael Golden, Greg Horn, P. Craig Russell, Phil Hester, Chris Bachalo, Jae Lee, David Finch and Frank Quitely (#65)  Inks: David Mack (#54-55), Alex Maleev (#56-64 and 66), Maleev, Michael Golden, Greg Horn, P. Craig Russell, Phil Hester, Chris Bachalo, Jae Lee, David Finch and Frank Quitely (#65)  The year begins late in 2003, as we noted two weeks ago with our 2003 discussion, with the return of David Mack to writing and art and Maya Lopez in the book itself. She's returned to New York and is looking to reconnect with Daredevil. After he shares he's now with someone else, she instead visits with a chief her father knew and goes on a vision quest. There, with the help of a man shaped in the form of a wolverine, helps her understand a story her father used to tell her and helps her realize who she is. She goes back to Daredevil and bids him goodbye with a kiss.  From there, Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev return with a story called The King of Hell's Kitchen. We learn it's been a year since the confrontation between Kingpin and Daredevil and according to Ben Urich – Daredevil has been very busy cleaning up the kitchen while also taking some flack about his methods from other superheroes.   His latest dealings have been against the Yakuza and after a large battle Daredevil's gone missing. Milla Donovan reached out to Urich to find him and during their discussion we learned that 4 months ago she and Murdock got married. Urich finds Murdock and reunited the married couple – but not before suggesting the events of the last year are all his way coping with the death of Karen Page. With a little help from some super powered friends, Daredevil puts a stop to the Yakuza plot to take over Hell's Kitchen. Milla confronts Matt about his problems over the death of Karen Page and before leaving her husband.  Next we get storyline featuring another of Matt's love interests, the Black Widow, in a story called “The Widow”. Black Widow gets “called in” be SHIELD and realizing it's a trap – instead goes to visit Matt Murdock in New York hoping she can hide in plain sight. The pair take down Jigsaw and upon making bail – he goes back to Murdock asking permission to run crime through Hell's kitchen (since he's the new Kingpin). Matt isn't amused.  Turns out the hiding in plain sight didn't work as the two get shot at by a hired assassin while having lunch. The pair go after the assassin and after that Natasha finally shares the reason for her visit. Though the conversation is cut short as Jigsaw and his men have entered Murdock's home and Matt can't fight them as daredevil and revealing his lie. In the end, we learn a Bulgarian minister and Natasha's ex-husband were behind the ordeal and Matt begrudgingly gives Milla the annulment to their marriage.  In November, we get a HUGE 40th Anniversary Special issue. This story backtracks over the 1 year time period that Matt Murdock was outed as Daredevil that Ben Urich told us about during the King of Hell's Kitchen story earlier this year. To do so, the Bendis and Maleev called on a host of other artists to tell the story. This seems like the perfect book for this week's spotlight.  There is one more book this year, But it starts another storyline – so we'll save that for our 2005 discussion.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil #65 November 2004 “The Universe” Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway Reading Marvel is great, but when you see Jean Grey die for the second time, Marvel has told you its story, and its time to start looking into other publishers.

Are you interested in nuclear energy's role in a carbon-free future? Our summary today works with the article titled Investigating the potential of nuclear energy in achieving a carbon-free energy future from 2023, by Janis Krümins and Maris Klavins, published in the MDPI Energies journal. This is a great preparation to our next interview with Kirsty Braybon in episode 332 talking about nuclear energy and its regulatory framework. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see another option, nuclear energy, in the energy mix for a carbon-free solution. This article discusses the role of nuclear energy, particularly small modular reactors in achieving a carbon-free energy future.Find the article through this link.Abstract: This scientific paper discusses the importance of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the effects of climate change. The proposed strategy is to reach net-zero emissions by transitioning to electric systems powered by low-carbon sources such as wind, solar, hydroelectric power, and nuclear energy. However, the paper also highlights the challenges of this transition, including high costs and lack of infrastructure. The paper emphasizes the need for continued research and investment in renewable energy technology and infrastructure to overcome these challenges and achieve a sustainable energy system. Additionally, the use of nuclear energy raises concerns, such as nuclear waste and proliferation, and should be considered with its benefits and drawbacks. The study assesses the feasibility of nuclear energy development in Latvia, a country in Northern Europe, and finds that Latvia is a suitable location for nuclear power facilities due to potential energy independence, low-carbon energy production, reliability, and economic benefits. The study also discusses methods of calculating electricity generation and consumption, such as measuring MWh produced by power plants, and balancing supply and demand within the country. Furthermore, the study assesses the safety of nuclear reactors, generated waste, and options for nuclear waste recycling. The transition to a carbon-free energy system is ongoing and complex, requiring multiple strategies to accelerate the transition. While the paper proposes that nuclear energy could be a practical means of supporting and backing up electricity generated by renewables, it should be noted that there are still challenges to be addressed. Some of the results presented in the paper are still based on studies, and the post-treatment of waste needs to be further clarified.Connecting episodes you might be interested in:No.313R - Nuclear power as foundation of a clean energy future: A reviewNo.314 - Interview with Andrew Vass about nuclear power and its costsYou can find the transcript through ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠th⁠i⁠s link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.What wast the most interesting part for you?

Our summary today works with the article titled Artificial intelligence and the local government: A five-decade scientometric analysis on the evolution, state-of-the-art, and emerging trends from 2024, by Tan Yigitcanlar, Sajani Senadheera, Raveena Marasinghe, Simon Elias Bibri, Thomas Sanchez, Federico Cugurullo, and Renee Sieber, published in the Cities journal. This is a great preparation to our next interview with Thomas Sanchez in episode 330 talking about urban and technological evolution. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how AI is utilised in urban governance. This article investigates the evolution, current state and emerging trends of AI in local governments across 5 decades.Find the article through this link.Abstract: In recent years, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has significantly impacted various sectors, including public governance at the local level. However, there exists a limited understanding of the overarching narrative surrounding the adoption of AI in local governments and its future. Therefore, this study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the evolution, current state-of-the-art, and emerging trends in the adoption of AI in local government. A comprehensive scientometric analysis was conducted on a dataset comprising 7112 relevant literature records retrieved from the Scopus database in October 2023, spanning over the last five decades. The study findings revealed the following key insights: (a) exponential technological advancements over the last decades ushered in an era of AI adoption by local governments; (b) the primary purposes of AI adoption in local governments include decision support, automation, prediction, and service delivery; (c) the main areas of AI adoption in local governments encompass planning, analytics, security, surveillance, energy, and modelling; and (d) under-researched but critical research areas include ethics of and public participation in AI adoption in local governments. This study informs research, policy, and practice by offering a comprehensive understanding of the literature on AI applications in local governments, providing valuable insights for stakeholders and decision-makers.Connecting episodes you might be interested in:No.259R - Lessons from nine urban areas using data to drive local sustainable developmentNo.304 - Interview with Nick Bray about agentic AIsYou can find the transcript through ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠th⁠i⁠s link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.What was the most interesting part for you?

Episode 65 - Murdock and Marvel: 2003 Part 2 It was a crazy year in America, with the Gulf War and the Patriot Act in the news, and over a billion dollars spent on comic-based movies.  But in the actual world of American comics, 2003 was that most beautiful to things – a stable, productive year filled with fantastic and influential stories.    This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2003.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances:  Daredevil #39-53, Daredevil: The Target #1, Ultimate Daredevil and Electra #1-4, Daredevil: The Movie #1, Paradise X #7-11 and X, Exiles #20 and #25, Alias #18 and #24, Marvel Universe: The End #1-6, Ultimate X-Men #36, Captain America #19 and Punisher #33-34  Writing: Brian Michael Bendis (#39-50), David Mack (#51-53)   Pencils: Manuel Gutierrez (#39), Terry Dodson (#40), Alex Maleev (#41-50), David Mack (#51-53)  Inks: Manuel Gutierrez (#39), Rachel Dodson (#40), Alex Maleev (#41-50), David Mack (#51-53) The year begins with the named story that started at the end of 2002 “The Trial of the Century” but this isn't the trial we've had story leaning up to. Instead, Luke Cage urges and eventually convinces Matt Murdock to defend Hector Ayala aka the White Tiger who recently get back into the costume and in a failed attempt to stop a robbery get arrested for a police officer who was shot and killed.  The trial doesn't go particularly well despite the fact Ayala is innocent. Murdock's defense included calling superheroes like Reed Richards, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones before Ayala himself takes the stand. During cross examination, Ayala loses his cool and lashes out in anger and frustration about how no one understands (superheroes).   This story tragically comes to an end with Hector Ayala convicted of murder. Dismayed over the conviction and assurances by Murdock he will go free, Hector attempts to flee the courthouse rather than being taken into custody and is gunned down by police on the stairs of the courthouse.  Starting in March, we get the storyline Lowlife in which The Owl has taken over part of the Kingpin's old territory and is selling a drug MGH (Mutant Growth Hormone). He's also trying to get incriminating evidence on Matt Murdock/Daredevil. Also, in this story we meet Milla Donovan, a blind woman Daredevil saves from get hit by a truck – who falls for the hero and befriends Matt Murdock (since he's Daredevil)  Uri Rosenthal, the Globe newspaper owner whom Matt Murdock is suing is found dead at home and Murdock is taken into custody for questions during his date with Milla. Matt tries to apologize to Milla for their interrupted date, takes down the Owl as Daredevil and learns that the Kingpin is back in town.  This then leads directly into the story “Hardcore” and the return of Typhoid Mary. Kingpin is amassing power again and needs a distraction for Matt Murdock / Daredevil so he pulls Mary for her “normal” life as a soap opera star. Her distraction, it turns out, is showing up during Milla and Matt's walk for lunch and setting Matt on fire. Jessica Jones and Luke Cage help Matt subdue Mary while keeping Milla safe. With Mary in jail, Bullseye talks Kingpin into giving him another shot at Daredevil which turns out to be a shot at Milla. Daredevil saves her (and carves a crosshair tattoo into Bullseye's forehead) and angrily turns his sights on Kingpin.  This culminates in another epic showdown between Kingpin and Daredevil in issue 50 of Daredevil worthy of our spotlight this week.  The year ends with writer/artist David Mack along with character Maya Lopez's Echo returning in the first three parts of the Echo storyline that we'll be saving for next year.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil volume 2 #50 October 2003 “Hardcore Part 5” Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway Even as we leave behind the grimdark of the ‘90s, Marvel's Supreme Power, DC's Red Son and Image's Invincible lead us from an age of sex and violence into an age of cynicism and moral ambiguity.

"So that audacity to reach for the skies has been built into us ever since life reached the land."Are you interested in technological innovation like writing? What do you think about cities as the guiding light for humanity? How can we utilise technology while still planning with community in mind?Interview with Howard Bloom, author and founder of the Howard Bloom Institute. We will talk about his vision for the future of cities, blinding humanity, human and urban evolution, space exploration, and many more. Howard Bloom, dubbed the Einstein and Freud of the 21st century by Channel 4 TV, is an author of eight books, including The Lucifer Principle. His book Global Brain sparked a symposium by the Secretary of Defense's office, with attendees from DARPA, MIT, and IBM. Bloom's work spans The Washington Post, Wired, and Scientific American. Initially a microbiologist and physicist, he explored mass behaviour—from quarks to humans. He champions omnology, a science of the panoramic, weaving together all disciplines to see the universe's grand patterns. In the 1970s-80s, he ran a top music PR firm, boosting stars like Michael Jackson and Prince, before returning to science in 1988. He's since lectured across twelve scientific fields, co-founded the Asian Space Technology Summit, and inspired the Howard Bloom Institute in 2021.Find out more about Howard through these links:Howard Bloom websiteHoward Bloom on Wikipedia@HowardxBloom as Howard Bloom on X@howlbloom as Howard Bloom on InstagramHoward Bloom Institute website@howard_bloom_institute as Howard Bloom Institute on InstagramConnecting episodes you might be interested in:No.288 - Interview with Dan Hill about cities as knotsNo.304 - Interview with Nick Bray about AINo.317R - Economic and social impacts of public transport investmentsNo.327RWhat was the most interesting part for you?

Are you interested in urban evolution across time? Our summary today works with the article titled Cities through the ages: One thing or many? from 2019, by Michael E. Smith and José Lobo, published in the Frontiers in Digital Humanities journal. This is a great preparation to our next interview with Howard Bloom in episode 328 talking about urban evolution from the bacteria to space exploration. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see the nature of cities throughout the ages. This article investigates cities as energised crowing, also known as one thing, and many things, such as political sites and economic environments.Find the article through this link.Abstract: The variability among cities, from the ancient world to the present, can be organized usefully in two ways. First, a focus on the dominant urban activities and processes leads to the recognition of two basic urban types: economic cities and political cities. Most cities today are economic cities in which growth proceeds through agglomeration processes. By contrast, most cities in the ancient world (and some today) are political cities, in which power and administration play a major role in structuring cities and generating change. Second, an alternative focus on processes of social interaction within the urban built environment leads to the recognition that there is only one kind of settlement that includes all cities—economic and political; past and present. Cities in this sense are settings for “energized crowding.” Processes of interaction generate both economic and political growth, and they produce and influence the built forms and social characteristics of all cities. Our model helps scholars distinguish the unique from the universal traits of cities today and in the past.Connecting episodes you might be interested in:No.090 - Interview with Professor Matthew McCartney about the economic side of citiesNo.318 - Interview with Mark Lutter about different economics across the world in citiesYou can find the transcript through ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠th⁠i⁠s link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.What was the most interesting part for you?

If Satan's very nature makes him incapable of things like whispering lies into our minds or personally attacking thousands of people at once, what do we make of the verses that imply we need to watch out for his attacks?

Are you interested in the benefits of public transport? Summary of the book chapter titled Economic and social impacts of public transport investments: A scoping literature review from 2023, by Paulo Anciaes and Jacob Albin Korem Alhassan, part of the Advances in Transport Policy and Planning book, published by Elsevier.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Sarah Bridges in episode 326 talking about public transport investments as one of the biggest opportunities for urban futures. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see the real benefits of public transport for the urban context. This chapter explores the effects of investments and disinvestments in public transport across the urban fabric.Find the chapter through this link.Abstract: This chapter reviews the wider economic, social, and health impacts of investments and disinvestments in public transport. Most studies on economic impacts have analysed the case of high-speed rail, with fewer analysing conventional intercity railways or urban public transport systems. The economic impacts of high-speed rail tend to be positive, although they are not equally distributed among the regions served. Investments in public transport have also been linked to an increase in housing prices and gentrification. Research on social and health impacts of public transport is limited and fragmented. Studies have found that the accessibility increase provided by new public transport connections contributes to increased participation in social activities. At the same time, public transport infrastructure can disconnect communities on opposite sides of the infrastructure. Research on public transport disinvestment is limited. The few available studies have shown that disinvestment is linked to several negative health and social impacts. Insufficient consideration of equity aspects also limits our understanding of the complexity of the full economic and social effects of investments and disinvestments in transport.Connecting episodes you might be interested in: No.194 - Interview with Oliver Stoltz about transport planning No.269R - The use of the smart technology for creating an inclusive urban public spaceYou can find the transcript through ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠th⁠i⁠s link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.What wast the most interesting part for you?

In this episode of Meet the Investor, host Joey Mouracadeh speaks with Dan Barker, Founder of APIS Capital Advisors, a global long/short equity firm managing over A$1 billion for institutional and private clients. Dan details their process around how APIS has been taking a benchmark-agnostic, bottom-up approach to uncovering opportunities across global small- and mid-cap markets for over 20 years, and how the firm was built to invest without borders - going whevever value and growth intersect. He explains how one of their strategies constructs low net exposure portfolios through high-conviction long and short ideas, and how deep research and a global network power their process. Joey and Dan also discuss the mechanics of short selling, how APIS identifies niche winners - like a Japanese supplier tied to GLP-1 drug production - and how they manage risk in today's volatile macro and geopolitical environment.   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 63 - Murdock and Marvel: 2002 Part 2 The world was a dangerous and frightening place, and America was trying to come to terms with how to move forward, both internally and on the world stage.  And comics showed a lot of that anxiety.  But even so, 2002 was a big year for all involved in the comics world, as sales of actual honest to goodness comic books actually rose 10% this year to 230 Million dollars, the first time that the industry had seen that occur since 1993, when comic sales had peaked at around 850 Million.  And even as traffic in stores was increasing, Hollywood was starting to understand how to make comic properties work on the screen, both small and large.    This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2002.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances:  Daredevil #27-38, Daredevil: Yellow #6, Paradise X: Heralds #1-2, Elektra #6, Giant Size Mini-Marvels: Starring Spidey #1, Marvel Knight: Millennial Visions #1, Peter Parker: Spider-Man #39 and 41, Essential Marvel Team-Up #1, Paradise X #0-5, Marvel Knight #2-6, Marvel Knights Double Shot #1 and 4, Amazing Spider-Man #2, Ultimate Spider-Man Special #1, Order #5-6, Spider-Man/Daredevil #1, Marville #2 along with Marvel Masterworks: The Submariner #1 and Daredevil: Yellow, Fantastic First, Life and Death of Captain Marvel graphic novels  Writing: Brian Michael Bendis (#27-38)   Pencils: Alex Maleev (#27-37), Manuel Gutierrez (#38)  Inks: Alex Maleev (#27-37), Manuel Gutierrez (#38)  The year for Matt Murdock and Daredevil begins with a 6-part story called Underboss that began in December 2001. In that story we see a bombing attempt on Matt Murdock's life just outside of the courthouse and we see Sammy Silke and several of the Kingpin's other bosses repeatedly stab the kingpin leave him dying on the floor.  So, who put a hit out on Matt Murdock and who is this Sammy Silke who rallied Kingpin's underlings against him? We start to get answers about this over the next 5 books through flashbacks while the story continues forward. Silke is the son of a crime boss in Chicago who needed to get out of town. He came to New York and went to work for the Kingpin – but when the Kingpin wouldn't let him put a hit on Matt Murdock – He caught wind of Murdock's seemly open secret within the Kingpin network and set in motion a plan to take out Murdock and Kingpin with the help of Kingpin's son – Richard.  Vanessa Fisk finds out her husband has been stabbed and in critical condition (and not killed as reports claim). She goes to New York and despite objections from his doctor, wants Kingpin taken to the airport and flown out of the country. She also orders those that betrayed Kingpin to be killed -including her son Richard whom she visits and kills herself.   Underboss ends with Silke, fearing for his life, turning himself into the FBI and asking for protection. When the FBI refuse, he tells them Murdock's secret identity.    From there, things start to really go crazy for Matt Murdock. An FBI agent, needing some cash, sells Murdock's secret to the Daily Globe (the Bugle's rival paper) and it's ran as a front-page story and a media circus descents on Murdock's brownstone.   Ben Urich and Peter Parker tell J. Jonah Jameson the DD secret identity story is a hoax but both refuse to tell him who DD really is; Foggy tries to get Matt to give up his life as DD. Seeing the story, Mr. Hyde shows up and starts destroying Murdock's house before Daredevil and Spider-Man can intervene.  After some time away, Matt Murdock holds a press conference denying he's Daredevil. We'll jump into more detail about that during this week's spotlight.  After a rooftop chat with Elektra at the urging of Black Widow, it looks like things will be settle with the Daily Globe after Daredevil visits the FBI agent who gave up his secret, but then the Globe owner Rosenthal nixes the deal because Murdock was being so smug about the agreement.  The year ends with part 1 of the next named storyline, The Trail of the Century, which we'll talk about in 2003.  This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil volume 2 #36 October 2002 “One Hundred Percent Untrue” Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway Big Box Office does not necessarily translate to big bucks at the comic shop.

When suffering, sometimes we go into "survival mode" and set aside may important things in our lives. Sometimes, we wonder if we should bother reading the Bible when it's too difficult. This episode helps you think through how we should understand the effects of suffering on our Bible reading, how to be on guard against the deceptiveness of our flesh, and how to rejoice in giving God everything we have in our daily devotions (especially when we don't have much to give).  Scripture Used: Psalm 34 Conscience book: https://a.co/d/bGNjmOB Support My Work  • Monthly Support: https://www.Patreon.com/OnwardintheFaith  • One-Time Donations: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/OnwardintheFaith | https://account.venmo.com/u/Ray-Burns-6 Check Out My Devotionals on Amazon (affiliate links):  • 40 Moments From Christ's Final Days: https://amzn.to/4kGDDgE  • 25 Days of Christ in the Old Testament: https://amzn.to/41GuqfK Hashtags #Christianity #Theology #Faith #Pain #Suffering #ChronicPain Music Credits  • YouTube Outro Music by UNIVERSFIELD from Pixabay  • Podcast Outro Music by LesFM from Pixabay

Mark's wife, Deb, remained loyal to him throughout, and today they find themselves thankful for where God has them. They look forward to helping others who struggle in various ways -- whether it be by simply telling their story on this episode The CC Podcast: Conversations, or whether it be connecting in a more personal way.

In Episode 220 of the Joyful DVM podcast, Dr. Cari Wise addresses a universal yet often emotionally charged topic in the veterinary profession: leaving a job. She explores why it's perfectly okay to move on; and how to do it with integrity, clarity, and grace. Whether you're running toward a new opportunity or running away from a challenging environment, this episode provides practical wisdom and encouragement for navigating professional transitions without burning bridges.Key Takeaways:You Don't Need Permission to Leave: Your desire to move on is valid, even if others don't understand it. The most important thing is that you like your reason for leaving.Clarity is Power: Understanding why you want to leave — whether you're running from discomfort or running toward opportunity — is crucial. The latter tends to lead to more fulfilling results.Avoid the "Same Situation, Different Clinic" Trap: If you're only trying to escape a bad experience without fully understanding the root cause, you may end up recreating that experience in your next role.Small Profession, Big Connections: The veterinary world is tightly knit. Leaving with grace preserves relationships that might benefit you in the future.Preserve Your Peace: Departing from a job should be an act of empowerment, not destruction. You owe it to yourself to walk away in a way that maintains your integrity and peace of mind.Resources & Links:Website: www.joyfuldvm.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/18257625/Instagram: www.instagram.com/joyfuldvmFacebook: www.facebook.com/JoyfulDVM/✨ If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend in the veterinary profession!

If we believe in a good and sovereign God, are we wrong to want Him to heal us? Can we over-emphasize our desire to be healed? How can we find a good balance? This episode digs in to a question many people may not think to ask, but it is an important question to answer for those who do ask it.

In this episode of The Joyful DVM Podcast, Dr. Cari Wise explores the connection between stress, anxiety, and compassion in veterinary medicine. She discusses how the emotional highs and lows of the profession are natural and not indicators of personal failure. Key TakeawaysStress & Anxiety Reflect Compassion – The extent to which we experience stress is directly related to how much we care. It is not a sign of failure but a natural part of being in a compassionate profession.Client Interactions & Emotions – Clients who appear aggressive or frustrated often act out of fear and concern for their pets. Recognizing this can help veterinarians maintain perspective and respond with understanding.You Cannot Control Client Choices – A veterinarian's job is to provide medical recommendations, but clients ultimately decide on the course of action. Their choices do not reflect the veterinarian's worth or ability.Comparison Leads to Self-Doubt – Assuming colleagues have it "all together" based on appearances can lead to unnecessary self-judgment. Everyone experiences stress differently.Veterinary Medicine is Full of Uncertainty – Outcomes are never guaranteed, and there will always be unknowns in veterinary practice. Accepting this helps reduce pressure and unrealistic expectations.Money and Veterinary Care – Charging for veterinary services is necessary and ethical. The cost of care does not diminish the value of the veterinarian or the services they provide.Letting Go of the Need to "Fix" Emotions – Experiencing stress and anxiety does not mean something is wrong with you. The goal isn't to eliminate these emotions but to acknowledge and move through them without self-judgment.Resources & Links:Website: www.joyfuldvm.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/18257625/Instagram: www.instagram.com/joyfuldvmFacebook: www.facebook.com/JoyfulDVM/✨ If this episode resonated with you, share it with a fellow veterinary professional who might need to hear it!

Caden and Anna talk about the seminar they met at and how it feels to have financially supported someone we don't politically agree with, but deeply respect as a dog trainer. The broader question becomes: how do we balance spending money on education (or other things), and financially supporting who we (all of us, including you, the listener!) believe most "deserves" or merits our support in terms of purchasing their goods or services.

What happens when a client declines your veterinary recommendations? For many of us, their “no” sparks frustration, judgment, and even resentment. But what if that "no" isn't actually a problem? In this episode, Dr. Cari Wise explores the deeper meaning behind client decisions, why we take them personally, and how shifting our mindset can reduce stress, build trust, and create a more positive veterinary experience.What You'll Learn in This Episode:1️⃣ Why Client “No's” Feel So Personal – Understand how external validation impacts your emotional response to client decisions.2️⃣ The Role of Judgment in Veterinary Interactions – Learn how unconscious judgment—toward clients and yourself—creates unnecessary stress.3️⃣ How to Communicate Without Pressure or Manipulation – Discover how small language changes can build trust and encourage client collaboration.4️⃣ The True Role of a Veterinarian in the Care Cycle – Gain clarity on what is (and isn't) your responsibility when offering medical recommendations.5️⃣ How Letting Go of Control Reduces Burnout – Find out how detaching from client choices leads to a more sustainable and fulfilling veterinary career.Key Takeaways:✅ A client's “no” is neutral—it's only a problem if we attach judgment to it.✅ Veterinary professionals often rely on external validation, making client decisions feel more personal than they actually are.✅ The best way to advocate for pets is to present all options neutrally, allowing owners to make informed choices without pressure.✅ Changing the way we communicate—avoiding phrases like “have to,” “need to,” and “should”—improves client trust and decision-making.✅ When we stop taking responsibility for client decisions, we free ourselves from unnecessary guilt, frustration, and burnout.Resources & Links:Website: www.joyfuldvm.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/18257625/Instagram: www.instagram.com/joyfuldvmFacebook: www.facebook.com/JoyfulDVM/✨ If this episode resonated with you, share it with a fellow veterinary professional who might need to hear it!

Episode 54 - Murdock and Marvel: 2001 Part 2 The year 2001 has a dark shadow over it, and there are elements of this year that are pretty rough, because as the year closed comic books were trying to make sense of and deal with 9/11 just like the rest of America.  But the start of the year brought a lot of great entertainment and for the first time in years sales held steady (mostly)   This is part 2 of the podcast. that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2001.   The Year in Daredevil  Appearances:  Daredevil #14-26, Daredevil / Spider-Man #1-4, Daredevil: Yellow #1-5, Daredevil: Ninja #2-3, Marvel Knights #7-9 and #11-15, Black Widow #2-3, Spider-Man and Mysterio #1-3, X-Men #109, Big Town #4, Deadpool #52, Black Panther #31, Elektra #1, Ultimate Marvel Team-Up #7-8, 100 Greatest Marvels of All Time #1 and 4, Marvel Masterworks: Daredevil #2 and Marvel Masterworks: The Mighty Thor #3.  Writing: David Mack (#14-15), Brian Michael Bendis (#16-19 and #26) Bob Gale (#20-25)  Pencils: Joe Quesada and David Ross (#14), Ross (#15 and #23-25), David Mack (#16-19), Phil Winslade (#20-22), Alex Maleev (#26)  Inks: Mark Morales (#14-15) David Mack and Morales (#15) Mack and Pond Scum (#17) Mack (#18-19), James Hodgkins (#20-22), Hodgkins and Mark Pennington (#23), Pennington (#24-25), Alex Maleev (#26)  After the wrap-up of the Parts of a hole storyline that included a trail of Kingpin before he's eventually blinded by Maya Lopez aka Echo, we get our first story from Brian Michael Bendis with David Mack moving over to art. The 4-book story, Titled Wake Up, is a fantastically told and beautifully brought to page by the creative team. It doesn't really have any action and is really only loosely about Daredevil. Interesting, right? This is, without a doubt, worth spotlighting this week – so we'll talk more about it then.  The other main story we get this year is called Playing to the Camera in which Daredevil is sued by rich philanthropist Samuel Griggs and wants to retain Nelson and Murdock (specifically Matt Murdock) as his lawyer. Matt reluctantly agrees as he knows he wasn't involved with destroying the man's greenhouse and plants and wants to figure out who's behind it. As Daredevil, he hires a lawyer and they have their days in court surrounded by a media circus.   The trial ends with 3 daredevils in the courtroom - Murdock as himself holding a video tape of himself as Daredevil earlier that morning, Peter Parker in a Daredevil costume with the defense attorney and a third Daredevil who crashes a window, admits to the property damage, offers the $50k needed to fix it and then reveals his true identity as Terrance Hillman. Confused? So is Murdock and Nelson. Apparently, Hillman decided on his own to dress up as Daredevil and crash the courtroom. He then used the reveal and announced retirement to swing fame and fortune (and help out the real Daredevil). We also learn that Hillman didn't destroy the property either and that the Ringmaster was behind everything. He was testing his ability to implant false memories in people.   One interesting side note about the first issue of the Playing with Camera storyline. A second story appears in the issue “My Brother's Keeper” written by Stan Lee and Kevin Hall with art by Gene Colan. In the short story, we see Daredevil and Spider-Man during a night out.  We did get one more book in December from Brian Michael Bendis but we'll save that for next year's discussion.  Finally In Daredevil: Yellow we get a 6-book story in which Matt is writing letters to the late Karen Page about the early days of Daredevil and the Nelson and Murdock law firm as a way to find forgiveness for everything that happened between them. The story, by Jeph Loeb, artist Tim Sale and colors by Matt Hollingsworth, is another retailing of the first handful of issues from Daredevil volume 1 that ends with the Purple Man story and Matt finding the forgiveness he needs.    This Week's Spotlight: Daredevil volume 2 #16 May 2001 - #19 August 2001 “Wake Up” Recap Why We Picked This Story Daredevil Rapid Fire Questions The Takeaway Writers are the key.

Have you ever had a client tell you, "You're only in it for the money"? If so, you're not alone. This common statement can feel frustrating, unfair, and even personal. But why does it trigger such a strong reaction?In this episode of The Joyful DVM Podcast, Dr. Cari Wise breaks down the real reason behind this emotional response. She explores the money stories we carry, how they impact our views on pricing and client decisions, and why we must shift our mindset to find peace in veterinary medicine.If money conversations in vet med leave you feeling uncomfortable, guilty, or even resentful, this episode is for you!What You'll Learn in This Episode:✅ Why the phrase "You're only in it for the money" feels so personal✅ How our money stories (often shaped by family and past generations) influence the way we approach pricing in vet med✅ The two major links people have with money: safety & self-worth—and why they matter✅ Why client decisions are not a reflection of your value or success✅ How to stop tying pricing to guilt, resentment, or failureKey Takeaways:1️⃣ Money is neutral. The emotions we attach to it come from our beliefs, not the numbers themselves.2️⃣ Veterinary pricing is neutral. Clients' reactions to cost come from their own money stories, not because prices are “right” or “wrong.”3️⃣ Your job is to recommend, not convince. Clients get to make the decision—it's not a reflection of your skills or success.4️⃣ Resentment builds when we believe money is the barrier to good veterinary care. But in reality, our role remains the same no matter what clients choose.5️⃣ Shifting your mindset leads to more joy and peace in practice. Let go of what you can't control and focus on what you can—providing quality veterinary care.Resources & Links:CONNECT WITH MEWebsite: www.joyfuldvm.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/18257625/Instagram: www.instagram.com/joyfuldvmFacebook: www.facebook.com/JoyfulDVM/✨ If this episode resonated with you, share it with a fellow veterinary professional who might need to hear it!
