In this episode of English and Beyond, an intermediate-advanced English learning podcast, César and I explore the labyrinth that is British social etiquette. From a brutally honest, brutally Spanish flat inspection in Valencia to the fine-tuned overuse of “sorry” and “thank you” on the London Tube, we break down what it means to be “polite” in the UK.Is it all genuine kindness, or are Brits just world-class at passive-aggressive fakery? And how does that reconcile with the less-than-dignified behaviour of sunburnt Brits in Magaluf?Join us both as we tackle queuing etiquette, white lies, and the cultural clash of ordering a simple beer in a British pub. Packed with sharp observations, dry humour, and César's own Spanish-British perspective, this episode is a deep dive into why British politeness is both maddening and magnificent.Don't worry - listening won't require queuing. Unless you're living in Britain, in which case, feel free to line up out of habit.For a full and accurate transcript and additional learning resources, check out our website at the following link: morethanalanguage.com

A new museum has opened in London promising visitors one of the best selfie experiences in the capital. The Paradox Museum specializes in special effects and mind-boggling optical illusions, and visitors are actively encouraged to snap away to their hearts' content. It is the brainchild of co-founder Miltos Kambourides, a Cypriot entrepreneur with a background in luxury resorts. He wanted to create a museum that could combine science with a true entertainment experience—and generate a lot of images on Instagram and other social media apps.  He says, “Every exhibit was designed with the photo in mind. People leave this place taking with them the memories through their smartphones. So, for the entertainment industry, this is so important. The old-style museum is boring. The new-style museum is the one that you can communicate easily to your friends and family, and go back and remind yourself by seeing your photos in your phone.” With 50 exhibits across 25 rooms, there are plenty of opportunities to grab selfies to impress your friends. The emphasis is clearly on fun rather than information, but the Paradox Museum tries to cater to those who want to better understand the science behind the optical illusions. Each exhibit has a QR code which can be scanned, revealing the science behind the smoke and mirrors. Kambourides says, “Every exhibit is a product of years of research and development that was done prior to COVID and during COVID.” If you've ever wondered what it might be like to be upside down in a London Tube station, then the museum has the answer. The Paradox Underground station looks like a normal Tube station if it were flipped 180 degrees. Visitors can pose on the set, snap their shots and then flip the image on their phones for a topsy-turvy effect. The museum is situated in Knightsbridge, right across from the world-famous Harrods department store. There is already a chain of Paradox museums in other cities across the world, including Paris, Miami, Stockholm, Berlin, Barcelona, Las Vegas, and Shanghai. London is the 12th site, with more planned. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

London is one of the main metropolitan areas of the world. If you think about the English capital, you can probably name ten iconic things off the top of your head. Shakespeare, Abbey Road, Buckingham Palace, Sherlock Holmes. A city that's buzzing with music and theater, in constant movement.The London metro system, or the "tube" as Londoners call it, is a symbol of the city's vitality. It's not just a network of tunnels and trains but a testament to the city's evolution. From its small beginning to the complex system, it is today, a lot of history and effort has gone into making it what it is.The Tube, the world's first underground railway, has a rich history that dates back to the construction of the Metropolitan Railway, the first metro line, inaugurated on January 10th, 1863. Today, the system boasts 275 stations organized on 11 lines, a far cry from its humble beginnings.Today, the London underground has grown and evolved alongside the city. In this episode, we delve into London's history and the Tube's evolution, culminating in the Northern Line Extension. Carlota Guiu Morros and David Drake Sloan, who spearheaded this project, share the challenges and necessities of constructing one of London's largest redevelopments in 300 years. Sounds of Infrastructure is a collaboration between Ferrovial and Yes We Cast.

Mares and Jen have enjoyed playing  a game of luck called “Underground Roulette.”  The game is easy to play. Just select a tube stop at random, keep a curious mind, and hit the streets!  It's an engaging way to get a sense of place and all that the city offers. But, what if we could add the dimension of time, seeing not only the neighborhood as it is, but as it was?In this episode, we explore the underground stops with stories involving the theme of luck. London: a city where fame and fortune may await, given talent, drive, privilege, connections, and sometimes it comes down to luck. Our three stories feature: horseshoes, normally associated with good luck, but not this time,counteracting the bad luck of the number 13, and, when what seems like bad luck can be the best fortune yet. Along the way, we'll visit an iconic location synonymous with luxury and spend time with some of the most famous people in modern history.  Follow along on our SHOW NOTES. You'll find photos, recordings, sources, and ways to find us. Enjoy playing Underground Roulette. With a little luck, you'll have a lot of fun!

By about this time of year any little bit of a break we might have had over Christmas and New Year is but a dim distant memory. We're back in the grind and we're looking forward to our next break – awesome! But surely there's more to life than that. HOPE MATTERS Hope is a beautiful word, four letters, just one syllable, there's a clear, pure ring to it, isn't there? HOPE. I don't know how your year is going so far, what just three months in but for most of us there have been some ups, there have been some downs and underneath it all that constant incessant grind that we all call life, the daily ritual. I know there are some people on the London Tube with their headphones on listening in to this message today. I know that there is a farmer on his harvester listening in on his local radio station in Australia, in the US and in other places. I know that there is a man in Chicago down at the local gym probably tuned in to the podcast as he is most days and I know that there are refugees in camps wondering what the next day will bring, gathered around their radio's listening to today's message all over the world, all different circumstances. Some good, some not so good, some downright awful, I know that so here as we head into this Easter time, Berni drops the word ‘hope', pure, clean, crystal clear hope, what does it mean to you right now given where you're at, what's going on in your life? Hope. My year so far has been a bit of a mixed bag, isn't that always the way? Some great things, a short holiday with my lovely wife in January, awesome and some tough issues to grapple with here too in the ministry called Christianityworks that I'm privileged to lead. But the most constant thing, it's like a drum beat that never stops, is the daily rhythm of the grind. Up early each morning working on radio programs, dealing with staffing issues and all that comes with running an organisation that produces radio and television programs around the world. And for me, as I participate in this daily grind, punctuated from time to time with some delightful days and some dreadful days. Here's what this beautiful clear word hope means to me. It means that just around the next corner, just over the next rise there's something more, something better, something that is really worth looking forward to, much more than my next holiday or next trinket or bauble that this world may have to offer. A solid hope, a certain hope that one day the trials and tribulations of this world will be over and that I'll get to spend eternity in the presence of Jesus. It doesn't matter who we are, what sort of life we're leading, how rich or poor, north or south, east or west, our lives maybe, I believe that we've been hand crafted to hope for something in the future, I believe that there's something innate inside each one of us that no matter how much we may delight in or despise this particular day, there is that something that reaches out to the future looking forward for, well what exactly? Something better, something more, something beyond, something utterly delightful, you know it, don't you? You often dream of the future, you hope for this and that. The young woman hoping for her prince charming to ride into her life. The middle-aged man hoping for release from the yoke of the mortgage that drives him to work these long hours under so much pressure. The hope of a frail, elderly, lonely woman whose joints are racked with arthritis hoping for deliverance from this world. No matter what stage of life we're in we're always hoping for something. The sad thing is that we sometimes, often times, place our hope in things that simply can't deliver what we're looking for. I happen to enjoy technology, I like the way smartphones have revolutionised my life, sure. But I look at the hysteria, the overnight queues, the cheering and the waving that accompanies the release of certain brands of smartphones, it seems they always put it on the evening news these days as though somehow this idolatry is newsworthy and I shake my head. Surely life has to be about more than the next iPhone release, doesn't it? Might I ask you, what are you hoping for right now at this moment? What is the hope that is in you that keeps you going through the grind and through the dark days and through the fun days even? Paul the Apostle was put on trial for his very life, his judge, the Roman governor, had the power of life and death over him. And in his defence this is what he says, Acts 24: 15 and 16. I have a hope in God that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. Therefore I do my best always to have a clear conscience towards God and all people. When it came to the point of life and death Paul was bold enough to tell the judge that his hope was in God, his hope was in the fact that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous and it is that hope that drives who he is, what he thinks, how he behaves. I wonder how different the life of so many people would be if instead of hoping for the trinkets that this world has to offer, instead of placing their hope in things that can't deliver and will in any case pass away – they placed their hope in the resurrection of Jesus which is a forerunner to their own resurrection one day. If this life is all there is, then it ain't all that much. If I live until I'm eighty years old then I have just under nine thousand days left to go. It's not a lot when you think about it. If I placed my hope in the here and now, well the here and now is going to be done and dusted in just under nine thousand days, not much of a hope, is it? But if the certain hope of the promised resurrection that Jesus ushered in on that very first Easter some two thousand years ago, if that's what I place my hope in then that's real, that's forever, that's a hope in the one thing that matters, a life eternal in His presence. As the drum beat of the daily humdrum pounds away in your ears what hope brings joy to your heart? What hope drives you to feel and to think and to act? Is it the right hope? Is it delivering you what you've been looking for? Well, is it? LIVING IN FEARFUL DAYS There have been days in my life, and I know you've had days like this too, where I've woken up after a fitful night's sleep with a knot in the pit of my stomach; with a sense of fear and dread so deep, so unavoidable, that I felt paralysed; unable to function; unable to face the world; unable even to see the faintest glimmer of hope for the future. Can you remember the last time you experienced that feeling? It's just awful, isn't it? You wouldn't wish it upon your worst enemy. I don't know how you celebrate Easter, but back in the days leading up to that very first Easter, there wasn't all that much celebration going on. In fact, if you were one of those twelve disciples, celebration was the very last thing on your mind. What was dominating their thinking was fear: Gut-wrenching, that knot in the pit of your stomach, will-I-be-crucified-too kind of fear. Jesus had been warning them for some time now that He would be crucified. Matthew 16:21: From that time on, Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem and undergo great suffering at the hands of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on that third day be raised again. That seemed utterly bizarre to the disciples. I mean, they've seen Him do amazing miracles. They've seen those up-close. They've listened to sermon after powerful sermon, where He spoke not just His wisdom into life on earth, but with authority about the kingdom of heaven like nobody else. Jesus, this Jesus, captured? Crucified? Suffering? ‘No way!' says Peter. In fact (Matthew 16:22-23): Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying: ‘God forbid it, Lord! This must never happen to you!' But Jesus turned and said to Peter, ‘Get behind Me, Satan. You are a stumbling-block to Me, for you are setting your mind not on the divine things, but on human things.'” I doubt very much that your reaction or mine would have been all that different in the face of the evidence that pointed to this Jesus being the real deal, the very Son of God, would it? And yet as the days drew closer to the time when Jesus would be betrayed and crucified you could feel the fear in the air, that the plot to assassinate Him was unmistakable. It hung in the air and the disciples weren't just confronted by the possibility of complete disillusionment of the idea of that Jesus, their Jesus, their miracle-working Jesus being crucified of all things. But in their minds, in their hearts gripped with fear they were wondering, well will I be next? Will they nail me to a cross too? Well it's the sort of thing that the Romans do. What if I get caught up in this, what if I'm nailed hands and feet to a cross? Then the chief priests and elders of the people gathered in the place of the high priest who was called Caiaphas and they conspired to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him. (Matthew chapter 26: 3) All they could see and feel, these disciples, was the fear. It's almost like they hadn't heard the rest of the prediction from Jesus, they couldn't hear it because they were afraid. While Jesus was going up to Jerusalem he took the twelve disciples aside by themselves and he said to them, ‘See, we are going up to Jerusalem and the Son of man will be handed over to the chief priests and the scribes and they will condemn him to death. Then they will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified and on the third day he will be raised up'. (Matthew 20: 17 – 18) See, I see a lot of myself in those disciples. How about you? We're driven by and large, you and I, by self-interest, and there is no greater motivator than self-preservation, is there; than saving your own skin, and on those days when we're afraid, that's all we can think about. As we celebrate Easter this week, in a way that would have been so incredibly foreign to those fearful quivering disciples, I wonder how much your own self-interest obscures the powerful life-transforming message of hope that is Easter. I wonder. The sad thing is that it's especially in those dark places on those dark days that we need the peace and the hope that only Jesus can bring which is why He spoke these words to the disciples not long before the end came, John 14:27. Jesus said: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives, do not let your hearts be troubled and do not let them be afraid. (John 14:27) The message of Easter is a double-sided message: Two sides of the one coin. It's a message of freedom from the past, and hope for the future. It's a message of forgiveness, and a message of a glorious future. Some years after the terrible events of that Passover the Apostle Paul put it this way, part 1 – the message of forgiveness and grace. Paul wrote: In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses according to the riches of his grace that he lavished upon us. (Ephesians 1: 7) That bloody spectacle on the cross was all about paying the shocking price of my rebellion against God and yours. Through the suffering of Jesus we receive mercy, through the suffering of Jesus on our behalf, the punishment that we so richly deserve has been lifted from us and just a few verses later Paul talks about part 2 – the message of a glorious inheritance, the message of hope that can dwell in you and me, should dwell in you and me if we believe in Jesus. Ephesians chapter 1, verses 11 to 14. In Christ we've also obtained an inheritance having been destined according to the purpose of him who accomplishes all things according to his counsel and will so that we who are the first to set our hope on Christ might live for the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you had heard the word of truth, the Gospel of your salvation and had believed in him were marked with a seal of the promised Holy Spirit. This is the pledge of our inheritance towards redemption as God's own people to the praise of his glory. (Ephesians 1: 11–14) And it's that message, that certain hope that takes the fear away. NON POMP AND CEREMONY Each year at Easter, on Good Friday and Easter Sunday the world's evening news services beam images of the Churches Easter celebrations from around the globe right onto our television screens and invariably those images look something like this: they're filmed in big lofty imposing cathedrals packed full of the faithful, there are processions of crimson clad clergy following a cross down the aisle. There are choirs covered in red and in white singing hymns and songs. There are Church leaders preaching a message to their flock. Of course not all of us celebrate Easter like that but that's the image we seem to project out into the world. But Easter is a time for both solemnity and celebration and that somehow what goes along with that is some considerable pomp and ceremony. Now the abundant use of the colour red in the clothing of many clergy, harkens back to the shedding of Jesus blood, that's what it's meant to symbolise. But as I look at those images on my television screen year after year I wonder whether the impressions I get aren't more about the apparent regal nature of the Church than the sacrifice of Jesus. And frankly, I despair at many of the messages I hear preached by the religious elite. They talk about world peace or poverty or they apologise for the abuses of the Church which it seems, in recent years, are many. And I wonder sometimes whether as a whole as the body of Christ we somehow aren't missing the point and the point of that first Easter during that fateful Passover celebration two thousand odd years ago had little, in fact no, it had nothing to do with the trappings of Easter that somehow we seemed to have heaped on the commemoration and the celebration. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking the different traditions and the way they choose to commemorate and to celebrate, traditions are in many a respect are good things that is unless and until they displace the central meaning of the thing it is they represent. That first Easter didn't have any sense of pomp or ceremony about, in fact Jesus, well for Him it was a lonely time, an intensely painful time, a time when He suffered alone for you and for me. After He celebrated the Passover meal with His disciples and washed their feet and predicted that His betrayer was in their midst. Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane and he said to them, ‘Sit here while I go over there and pray'. He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be grieved and agitated. Then he said to them, ‘I am so deeply grieved even to death, stay here and stay awake with me' and going a little further he threw himself onto the ground and prayed, ‘My Father if it's possible let this cup pass from me yet not what I want but what you want'. Then he came to the disciples and he found them sleeping and he said to Peter, ‘Could you not stay awake with me for one hour? Stay awake and pray that you may not come into a time of trial.' The spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak. Again Jesus went away for a second time and he prayed, ‘My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink of it, your will be done'. Again he came and he found them sleeping for their eyes were heavy. So leaving them again he went away and prayed for the third time saying the same words. Then he came to the disciples and he said to them, ‘Are you still sleeping and taking a rest? Look, the hour's at hand, the son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners, get up, let's be going, my betrayer is at hand.' (Matthew 26: 36 – 46) See, Jesus wanted His friends to be praying with Him in His hour of anguish and yet instead He wrestled with His fate alone in the dark. During His trials, there were several of them, none of His friends came and supported Him. No one stood up for Him or gave a good report about Him, NONE of them and at His arrest. While He was still speaking, Judas one of the twelve arrived and with him was a crowd with swords and clubs from the chief priests and scribes and the elders. Now the betrayer had given them a sign saying, ‘The one whom I kiss is the man, arrest him and lead him away under guard.' So when he came he came up to him at once and said, ‘Rabbi' and kissed him. Then they laid hands on Jesus and arrested him but one of those who stood near draw his sword and struck the slave of the high priest cutting off his ear. Then Jesus said to him, ‘Have you come out with your swords and clubs to arrest me as though I were a bandit? Day after day I was with you in the Temple teaching and you didn't arrest me but let the Scriptures be fulfilled.' All of them deserted him and fled. A certain young man was following him wearing nothing but a linen cloth, they caught hold of him, they let the linen cloth go and he ran off naked. (Mark 14: 43 – 52) Jesus was alone and on the cross He hung alone, suffered alone, He died alone. Where was the pomp, where was the ceremony? There was none. Why am I sharing this with you? Because this Jesus understands suffering, He understands loneliness, He understands you and what you have to travel through because He's been there and He's been through much worse. Formal Easter celebrations? Great, fantastic, awesome but if sometimes you're left with that hollow feeling at Easter, as though what's going on around you doesn't really resonate with where you're at then come with me and meet this lonely Jesus, this suffering Jesus, the Jesus who was rejected and spat upon, the nailed Jesus, the gasping Jesus and remember He did this for you, for you He did this to set you free from your bondage of sin. And as you'll see over the next couple of days, He did this to bring you a certain hope through His resurrection. Romans chapter 6, verse 23. For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. So, if the pomp and the ceremony perhaps haven't been connecting with you, forget about them, and rest for a while with Jesus: In the midst of the suffering; in the midst of the deepest inkiest blackness imaginable, you can claim this Scripture for your very own. 1 Corinthians 6:14: “God raised the Lord, and will also raise us by His power.” Isn't that just so awesome? When none of the Easter pomp and ceremony connects with the deepest longings of your heart, Jesus does! The One who suffered and died for you, and the One whose dead body received life again in that lonely, empty tomb. You see even the resurrection bit, even the bit where hope entered this world because death could no longer hold Him down, the death of my sins and yours that you and I so richly deserved, even in that most amazing moment in all of history where Jesus came back to life, it took place alone in the darkened tomb, away from the glare of the spotlights, away from the adulations of the crowds, away from the sight of any human eye. The dead body of Jesus came to life, colour returned to His cheeks, His heart started to beat again, He started to breathe again and the resurrection body of Jesus was ready to show the world that He came to bring us hope. I compare the two, the pomp and the ceremony of the traditional Easter celebrations of today and that amazing transaction of grace and hope that took place in the midst of extreme loneliness for Jesus. And I know which one I prefer, I know which one connects with me deep in my heart, I know which one brings hope into me – it's Jesus.

Providing up to 5 million passenger journeys a day, the London Underground is integral to the city's infrastructure.  It's impossible to imagine how the city would function without it.But why would something built for purpose become a source of admiration and entertainment?  A Transport for London style guide provides powerful evidence: "Every Underground station should include at least one moment of delight and surprise, to improve customers' journeys and the working environment for staff."A-ha! Let's meet some Tube superfans.Jen tells a story about Underground trainspotters and highlights the Tube in pop culture, while Mares looks at people who attempt the citywide Tube Challenge. We'll think about the nature of challenge, the history of tube spotting and racing challenges, and some of the unique and engaging personalities for whom the Tube (and Overground) truly is a constant delight and surprise.See our SHOW NOTES for photos, links, sources, and more.

Ollie Burton, head of Hidden London at the London Transport Museum, talks with Olivia Living of Insider Travel Report about the experiences offered by Hidden London tours, which showcases dis-used sections of the London Tube system.

Stay informed, stay secure, and let's protect our digital world together. Thanks to Jered Jones for providing the music for this episode. https://www.jeredjones.com/ Good morning, everyone. Today is Monday, February 12th, and you're listening to the daily decrypt. Yesterday was a pretty big day for television fans. I believe Taylor swift. Made an appearance, um, at the sports game. So congratulations to Taylor swift for winning the super bowl. We're going to quickly talk about the CSUs cybersecurity touchdown at the super bowl. We're going to be discussing AI surveillance at the London [00:01:00] underground. I'm gonna be talking about RustDoor which is a MacOS vulnerability. Raspberry Robin. And the evolving threat of the MoqHao Android malware. Okay, so up first, this past. Weekend we had the Superbowl. And CISA. Which is the cybersecurity infrastructure security agency. Has launched a NFL wide campaign called secure our world. And they're teaming up with the NFL to boost cybersecurity awareness. Not only at the Superbowl. But throughout the entire season with 32 of the NFL teams committing. To promoting cybersecurity tips. This is pretty cool. It's becoming more and more important to discuss ways to stay safe online. So we're really glad that the NFL is partnering with CISA. To get the word out there. You'll be [00:02:00] shocked to hear their recommendations. Which are as follows. Adopt strong passwords. Enable multi-factor authentication. Be vigilant against phishing. And keep your software up to date. These messages appeared on screens throughout Allegiant stadium. They appeared on the jumbo Tron. They appeared on posters. I believe they even. I had an ad. On the Las Vegas sphere. So, this is huge. This is going to be great. We know how much you guys love hearing lectures about how to stay safe online. And we know how much you love ignoring them. We're so excited for you to watch the Superbowl and get more of those lectures. The lectures won't stop. Until you follow that advice. This campaign is not only coming. As a result of. The huge breach on major Las Vegas casinos last year. But also because regular citizens lost over a billion dollars last year due to cyber crime. So we need to [00:03:00] start cracking down on this for your safety, for the economy. For many reasons at a macro level. So I have some friends who have spent between 10 and $80,000 to get to go to Allegiant stadium. For the super bowl. To see Taylor swift. To get a cybersecurity lecture that they couldn't get from me. And maybe they'll even see some sports. So all in all, I think that's pretty worth it. So the London underground is testing AI surveillance to detect crimes unsafe behaviors. And fare evasion. With a pilot at Willis, then green tube station. The system uses live CCTV and machine learning to issue over 44,000 alerts, including 19,000 in real time to station staff for behaviors like weapon brandishing, falling on the tracks and fare dodging. Okay, well, that's great. They're not just worried about. The money that they're losing, but they're also worried about your [00:04:00] safety. Like if someone falls on the tracks, AI can recognize that as a safety hazard and get someone over there, hopefully before a train comes. Experts worry about the ethical implications, potential expansion to facial recognition. And the lack of public awareness about the trial. And those things concern me too. It's only a fine line from using AI. To detect crimes and to detect all these things to now tracking you and your face. And feeding that information to. Big banking to Amazon, to all these people that want your data, Facebook, et cetera. I'm sure that London is not doing a great job of advertising this. So it's really important to stay up to date on this news. By sharing this podcast with them. So if you know anyone in London, go ahead and send this to them. The London underground is going to start watching. Yeah. Apple Mac OS users find themselves at the center of a sophisticated cybersecurity threat. A new rust based backdoor rust is just a programming language [00:05:00] and it's been code named rust door by bit defender. This threat has been around since November of 2023. So it's not new, but it is just coming to fruition. Rust door masquerades as an update for Microsoft visual studio, which is pretty clever because. For some reason, certain things need Microsoft visual studio to run effectively on your Mac. And. By the time you realize that that's what's missing, you're frustrated. And you just click download you, Google, Microsoft visual studio update, and you click the first thing and you click download and you walk away because it's like, 20 gigabytes. Of data that has to download over the next hour. It's so frustrating. I've done it way too many times. So attackers have realized this and they've bought Google ad space for Microsoft visual studio probably duplicated the website. So it looks exactly the same with the download button you're going there. You're clicking. Download. And you're getting malware. So, yeah. Be careful, especially for downloading Microsoft [00:06:00] visual studio. On a Mac. Raspberry Robyn. Which is a fun name is the name of malware. Used as sort of initial foothold during breaches. So it. It historically has been distributed using USB keys or malicious downloads. But it's continually evolving. And it's now harnessing one day exploits for escalated privilege. Hinting at either an exploit market purchase or in-house development by its operators. So we've talked about zero days before on this podcast. So as a reminder, a zero day is something that was built into the initial software. So when something is released, There's a vulnerability in there that the developers don't even know about. So that's, what's called a zero day. Uh, one day is when the developers find [00:07:00] out about that vulnerability. Now we're in this weird limbo, which is called a one day. Where the developers know and are working on developing a patch, which will come to you via a security update. And now all bad actors also know about this vulnerability. So they're hustling to get out an exploit. For this vulnerability and it's sort of a race between the developers trying to fix it and the bad actors trying to exploit it. So. Raspberry Robin has successfully exploited. What's called a one day, which we just discussed. And it has become harder and harder to detect and analyze because it employs anti analysis and obfuscation techniques. It is also now using discord. For a platform to distribute this malware instead of a USB key. And introduces what's called PAE exec. For lateral movement and a refined command and control method using a list of tour addresses to maintain communications stealth. So there's a lot in there. But [00:08:00] over the past couple of weeks doing this podcast, I've seen discord being used for a lot of things. Uh, I know I am clicking these server, join links all the time and join servers and then leave them. I'm going to be joining less servers moving forward. And I'll be very picky about the ones that I do decide to join. And finally we've got the evolving threat of the MoqHao Android malware. So this malware. Has been around for a few years, but. As of recently it now executes automatically on infected devices. So there's no user action required. The malware is like to roaming mantis, a Chinese cyber crime group focused on financial gain. And it starts with SMS messages containing fraudulent links. So maybe you have a package [00:09:00] coming in. Today and you get a message from someone, someone@gmail.com saying your package has been delayed. Click the link. That's how you get it. As soon as it's downloaded, it demands risky permissions from the phone. In July of 22. Sequoia. Reported over 70,000 Android devices in France were compromised. So. How can you prevent this? Like CISA said at the Superbowl, be vigilant with phishing links. Make sure your devices are up to date. And. If you notice any weird slowdowns on your devices Turn it off. Turn it back on again. Maybe even reset it. Alrighty, that's it for today, guys. Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoyed this new format, bringing you a little bit more news in a little bit shorter of a format. Thanks for tuning in and we will talk to you tomorrow. [00:10:00]

Adam Slater is a British explorer from Birmingham, England. Adam has been exploring abandoned places since early 2000s. He belongs to community of urban explorers on 28dayslater.co.uk forum. Adam explored the UK's ‘UrbEx Holy Grail', a nuclear bunker from the Cold War era that served as England's Central Government War Headquarters. The Cabinet Office commissioned this subterranean urban fortress during the 1950s when the West faced an imminent threat of all-out nuclear war. Although the facility was commonly referred to as a bunker, the UK government never used this term officially. Instead, they used various codenames, such as "Burlington," to refer to the facility. His other impressive lactation is the decommissioned Soviet submarine nicknamed 'Black Widow', which was equipped with 22 nuclear warheads and 53 explosive mines, possessing an explosive power equivalent to that of the Hiroshima bomb. During this part of the interview we discussed the concept of "urbex tourism" and the differences between exploring new and already-visited locations. During the interview, Adam shared a plethora of fascinating stories from his 20-year-long exploration journey. Our discussion triggered my introspection on numerous facets of this hobby, such as its distinctiveness, the driving force behind it, and the essential elements associated with it. Due to the multitude of stories present in the interview, I cannot share all of them in the notes. Therefore, I highly recommend tuning in to this thought-provoking conversation with one of the most productive explorers in the UK.

In this weeks, episode, Steve tells the story of Dr. Margaret McCollum, who would go to the Tube Station in London, sit on a bench, and wait for the subway doors to open, so that she could hear the sound of her late husband on the recording warning the passengers to "Mind the Gap."But one day, as the train approached and the doors opened, she was devastated to learn that they had replaced the technology and  the recording made  in the 1950s by her husband, Oswald Laurence was no longer being used.So Dr. McCollum reached out to Transportation for London, (TFL) and asked if they could provide her with a recording of her husband saying the iconic phrase.  The TFL authorities not only provided her a recording, but they also decided to bring back the recording and play it at Embarkment Station.  Now, Dr. McCollum can sit on her favorite bench at her favorite station and hear the sound of her late husband once again.Well done Transportation for London!Tap the link in bio to listen to this short, inspiring 5-minute episode.To stay connected with Better Place Project and for updates and behind the scenes info, please follow us on social media:Website:https://www.betterplaceproject.org/Instagram: @BetterPlaceProj  To follow Steve & Erin on Instagram:@SteveNorrisOfficial @ErinorrisFacebook: Facebook.com/BetterPlaceProjectPodcastTwitter: @BetterPlaceProjEmail: BetterPlaceProjectPodcast@gmail.com

New episode with Ehiz

Turn with me if you have Bibles to Hebrews chapter 12. Our sermon text today is Hebrews 12:18-29. 18 For you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest 19 and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them. 20 For they could not endure the order that was given, “If even a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned.” 21 Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I tremble with fear.” 22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, 23 and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. 25 See that you do not refuse him who is speaking. For if they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, much less will we escape if we reject him who warns from heaven. 26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” 27 This phrase, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of things that are shaken—that is, things that have been made—in order that the things that cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe, 29 for our God is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:18-29, ESV This is the word of the Lord. Anyone who has attempted to summit one of the highest mountain peaks in the world would tell you, they'd caution you that if you were to do the same, you have to be prepared to face the dangers of doing that and the costs that are associated with that. For example, on Mount Everest, a standard expedition usually requires that the prospective climber be ready to hand over tens of thousands of dollars and spend about two months in one of the most remote places in the world. You have to be prepared that on that climb, you're also going to face unpredictable weather. The real possibility of frostbite as you ascend higher and higher. Delusion and confusion as you approach the summit and lack of oxygen starves your brain of the fuel that it needs and ultimately the real possibility of death. The steep costs and the very real dangers in attempting to summit a peak like Everest are well documented. It's well known that each year people die in attempting that feat. There's another mountain peak in the world, a mountain that looks somewhat tame by comparison, but in fact has cost the lives of over 150 people since the 19th century. Now, that mountain is Mount Washington in New Hampshire. Mount Washington looks nothing like Mount Everest. It may be the tallest mountain in New England, but at just over 6000 feet tall, it's nothing compared to Everest's 29,000 foot summit. It's within a short driving distance to people in the region, and you can easily climb Mount Washington all in a day. Yet, Mount Washington has been called the most dangerous small mountain in the world. While it draws in hikers by its somewhat tame appearance, it's also known for rapid changes of weather that have trapped and even killed many unprepared hikers. The summit of Mount Washington is known for sudden blizzards and hurricane force winds, winds that once reached a speed of up to 230 miles per hour. You see, to many unprepared hikers, the valley below may look serene and calm and the mountain itself may look relatively friendly and accessible. But that appearance has over the years lulled many into a false sense of security. Those who have been unprepared and climbed Mount Washington accordingly have ended up paying for it with their lives. Well, when we turn to our text and we consider the story of two other mountains that our author has in view, it's important that we recall first and foremost what exactly the original readers, to whom our author is writing back in the first century AD, were facing in their own day. You see, our author is very likely writing to a group comprised mostly of Jewish Christians. That is Christians who probably grew up as Jews, but along the way saw Christ Jesus for who He really is and became Christians. They saw him as the Messiah and they put their faith in Christ. Since then, they've paid a heavy price for being Christians and have been ostracized to the fringes of society. As a result, their Jewish neighbors are probably against them. The Roman authorities are no friends of theirs. Amid these pressures that they're surrounded by some of his readers, our author's readers are growing a bit cold to Christ and have begun to look back with fondness to some of those Jewish old covenant systems that they once embraced. Systems like bloody sacrifices and the temple. Systems that had actually fulfilled their purpose in Christ and were no longer valid, but systems that for them may seem to offer more earthly security in the moment amid the raging uncertainties and pressures they face in their own day. With these temptations in view, our author warns his readers, much like he does throughout Hebrews, that to turn back to those old covenant systems would be, in fact, to embrace a false sense of security. Because they wouldn't actually be resting in something tamer or more secure. They'd in fact be going back to Mount Sinai, where God could not be approached freely. Where no worshiper had the assurance that their sin had been finally and decisively dealt with it. To turn back to those things, just like they're tempted to do, would be like running up Mount Washington in a T-shirt, shorts and sandals, completely unaware of the all-consuming whirlwind that awaits of the summit. So our author warns them not to be lured back to a mountain that may seem came in view of the forces around them that they see with their eyes. Instead almost paradoxically, he invites them up another mountain, a mountain that's just as frightening, if not more so, but a mountain that in Christ Jesus is their home. Where they're secure, where they belong, and where they have been freed to participate in what they were created and redeemed to do, namely worship. The message our author impresses upon his readers in their own day is also, of course, a message for us too. You see, when we face the temptation, not to return to Judaism, but the temptation to be more palatable in the world and more accepted by our neighbors. Even if that means diluting the gospel of our salvation and its many implications. Our author warns us, you and me in our own day, that to reject Christ in that way also places us in a frightening position where we are also at Sinai and alienated from God. Instead, then our author would have us understand the mountain home to which we have come in Christ. The security and the meaning that that mountain offers for us in Christ. Then to live more and more as residents of that forever and eternal home, whatever ways the currents batter us here on earth. So a big idea this morning as we prepare to study the text is this Live as residents of the Heavenly Zion. Two points to our passage. First, we're going to look at the two mountains that call. This is, in fact, a story of two separate mountains of Mount Sinai and Mount Zion. We're going to look at the two mountains first, that call. Then we'll see in the second half of our passage that there is only one mountain to call home. 1. Two Mountains That Call 2. One Mountain to Call Home. Two Mountains That Call So let's look first at the mountains that call, the two mountains that call. Notice that when our passage opens, we are dropped, as it were, into the biblical landscape, where we find two mountains that reach into the heavens. Both of the mountains, we're going to discover and see in a moment, are pretty imposing mountains. Both mountains are filled with wild, heavenly activity, and on both mountains, we encounter the same Lord. While similarities between these two mountains exist, we also discover that there's a crucial difference between them. A difference that's, in fact so important that our author presses us to pursue one and run away from the other. So let's look at the two mountains that our author has in view and what's said about them. So if you're looking at your text, the first mountain we come to is in verses 18 through 21, and it's a mountain that's not actually identified explicitly by its name, but it's pretty clear in the description that this is none other than Mount Sinai. In the description that follows, we're invited to recall the specific event that unfolded at Mount Sinai when Israel approached the mountain after their deliverance out of slavery in Egypt. As the story goes from the Book of Exodus, after God displayed his power over Egypt in the famous, well known ten plagues. He then brought his people through the Red Sea while drowning Pharaoh's army. Then finally into the wilderness to Mount Sinai. But Sinai, we learned from Exodus, was no tame mountain. Unlike Mount Washington, it didn't look tame either. First, our author reminds us of some of the features of Mount Sinai that they encountered and tells us in verse 18 that this mountain, unlike the one we come to in Christ, can be touched. It was a physical place. That's his point. A physical place that you could in history, that Israel journey to that you could point to on a map. Just because it could be touched doesn't mean it should have been touched. Because back in Exodus 19:12, when Israel comes to the mountain, the Lord warns Moses as Israel draws near to the base of it, saying, "You shall set limits for the people all around, saying, take care not to go up into the mountain or touch the edge of it. For whoever touches the mountain shall be put to death." In other words, this was a physical place, yes, that could be identified on a map. Like every other physical place, could theoretically be touched. But if you got too close to Sinai, if you tried to ascend Sinai or even touch it as an average Israelite, you die. As the memory of Mount Sinai continues to be built by our author, we're also reminded that this wasn't a mountain that the average Israelite wanted it to touch either. They weren't really tempted to touch it too, because it was terrifying. We're next reminded of what happened three days after Israel arrived at Mount Sinai. In the Book of Exodus chapter 19, the second half of that chapter, we learn, that on the third day after Israel came to the base, the foot of Mount Sinai, they were gathered there and there they saw the mountain engulfed in fire and smoke, and then they heard the increasing crescendo of a trumpet. Now, at that point in Exodus, Moses was invited to ascend the mountain and to meet with the Lord while the people of Israel were again reminded, even after having ceremonially cleansed themselves for the previous three days, that if any of them dare approach the mountain or touch the mountain, that they are going to perish. But once again, Israel seems to appreciate the unparalleled holiness of the Lord because they eventually begged Moses. Moses, we don't even want the Lord to speak to us. It's too scary. You speak to us and we'll listen, but don't let God speak to us lest we die. In other words, they recognize in a powerful way that God is holy. So holy, in fact, that even indirect contact with his holiness was off limits. You see, in verse 20 of our passage, we're reminded that if even an animal wandered on to holy ground, it had to be stoned. What's significant about that command is that they couldn't even touch something that had itself touched the mountain. They had to kill the animal by standing back from the animal and hurling stones at it from afar in order to kill it. You see, this whole experience at Sinai was intended to emphasize for Israel the unapproachability of God. No one and nothing except for Moses and Aaron were permitted to approach God on the mountain. The people of Israel, at least at this point in the narrative, they seem to appreciate the boundaries. They stand in awe of the Lord from a distance, and they're well aware of the significance that it is to set foot on the mountain where God himself dwells. Now we're going to see in a moment that while the predominant message of Sinai and the so called old covenant that Sinai represents was to stand back. The case is different with Zion, with the second mountain that we're going to look at in just a moment. We'll see in a moment that in Zion and the so called New Covenant that Zion represents, the predominant message is actually an invitation to draw near through the blood of Christ. But though the message of these two mountains, Sinai and Zion, differs, the God of Sinai and of Zion is still the same God. Notice that by the end of our passage in verse 29, even for those who find their home in Zion, God is still described as a consuming fire. He's still a God who we in the New Covenant should stand in all of. But like Israel, is that your posture before the Lord? Or if you're honest with yourself, are you more awed in this world by facades of grandeur? I recently read just this week a story I learned of this place in West London. It's in a neighborhood. It's a specific street called I think I'm pronouncing it right; Leinster Gardens is the name of the street. If you were strolling down the sidewalk of Leinster Gardens, you would see this long continuous row of five storied, picturesque Victorian style, relatively expensive homes. Some of the homes in fact go for millions of pounds, English currency, millions of dollars. Now I know nothing about London geography or the London real estate market, but I was looking at images of the of these homes, I would imagine that it's a place that many people wouldn't mind living in. It looks like a pretty well-to-do neighborhood, a pretty well-to-do street. Yet if you approached a couple homes on that block and you knocked on the door of two of those homes, no one would answer. Because two of those homes on that expensive London block are only a facade. Behind, which is a big gaping hole in the ground that looks into the London Tube. Now the facades look pretty convincing. It looks from the sidewalk like every other house. But if you were enticed into buying one of those homes and you thought you could purchase one of those homes and make it into your home, you'd be mistaken. You'd come to find out that those two homes were empty shells and ultimately worthless. Well, understand that, like these two West London homes appearances often trick us too. You see, the problem for us isn't that we don't know what it's like to be awed by something in this world. You know, Paul Tripp once wrote that human beings are hard wired for awe. The problem is that on the one hand, we're too often spellbound in this world by all the wrong things. The things we stand in awe before, the things that grip our hearts, the things that activate our imagination are too often false facades. Things with a lot of bark, but no bite. Then, on the other hand, where when our restless hearts search for awe never feels complete. Because we find that the objects, one after another, turn out to be great disappointments, ultimately facades. We are at the same time bored with the all-consuming, infinite holy God we claim to know and love. Friends, if we find ourselves in a position where this God of Sinai seems boring to us or somehow tame, we need to recalibrate our sense of what is really and truly awesome in this world. The God of our passage, the God our passage magnifies is the God who is categorically holier than any created thing and is therefore more worthy, categorically more worthy, of greater awe than any perishable object or experience that might appeal to our hardwired awe seeking nature. The Lord's majesty we find, is no facade. His holiness we find will consume every other object in this world. Even as Psalm 97, tells us, which we're going to study tonight, the most imposing mountains of grandeur, well they all melt like wax before his presence. Israel's encounter with this God is what led them to respond the way that they did. Yet the good news of our passage is that while we don't draw near to a lesser God, we are enabled as the people of God in Christ to stand in awe of this God in his courts, in His very presence. But on a very different mountain where we can do just that and live. There was a 19th century naturalist. His name was John Muir. I'm pretty sure he wasn't a Christian and he said some pretty weird things. But one of the quotes that he's well known for is when he said, "The mountains are calling and I must go." This was an expression of his fascination with the natural world and specifically places that would later become natural parks in America. While he was speaking only figuratively, when he said what he said in the case of the mountains in our text, they quite literally call out to us. Whereas everything with Sinai called out and said, stay back, don't come near. In the case of Mount Zion, we have come to a mountain that invites us and bids us in Christ to come. Now, if you recall, back in verse 18 our author also reminded us right out of the gate that we have not come to Mount Sinai. Yes, he described for us Mount Sinai, but only really for the purpose of reminding his readers and us what it would be like to reject Jesus Christ now. If you reject Christ, God is unapproachable like he was at Sinai. Now, that's not to say that Sinai didn't serve an important purpose in its own day, because it did. In its own day. Sinai held forth God's unapproachable holiness so that worshippers would long for a better mediator, and many of them did indeed look forward in faith to the promised Christ. Now that Christ has come, and this is our author's point, to return back to Sinai would be to reject Christ and stand forever at a distance from God and outside of fellowship with him. Fortunately, again, that's not the situation of our author's audience. That's not our situation in Christ. In what follows in verses 22 through 24, our author explains to them and to us the reality of our present situation as we stand here right now. It's a reality that might otherwise be obscured by their present sufferings and perhaps even a reality often obscured by our present sufferings. But it's a reality that he presses them to live according to an increasing measure day by day. So what is the reality of their true mountain home and of our mountain home? Well, he begins in verse 22 by ascribing to Mount Zion, this place to which we have come, a variety of different names, that indicate that unlike Sinai that he just described, this Zion is no place you can point to on a map. Now, to provide a bit of background for a moment, in the Old Testament, Mount Zion was first and foremost a physical place. In the days of King David, Mount Zion belonged first to a people called the Jebusites. When David became King, he ended up capturing Mount Zion, which was also known as Jerusalem. Then later he moved the Ark of the Covenant to Mount Zion, where it rested. Then after David died and his son Solomon was raised up as king. Solomon built the temple on Mount Zion such that Zion became the symbolic meeting place between heaven and earth. Where God dwelt among his people. Now, when our author invokes Zion, he also has in mind the meeting place between God and his people, but he's no longer thinking of some earthly place or physical place any longer. After all, he already told us back in verse 18 that this mountain to which we have come, unlike Sinai, is a mountain that cannot be touched. Then here he calls the mountain to which we have come, the City of the Living God and the Heavenly Jerusalem. This is the same home that Abraham, back in chapter 11, was looking forward to all the days of his earthly sojourn. The home that our author previously called the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God. It's not a place that we can point to on a map. It's not a physical place we can touch, but make no mistake about it, it's just as real as Sinai. So what does he tell us about this heavenly Zion to which we come? Well, he tells us that this is a place, Zion, with innumerable angels in festival gathering. That is so many angels that they cannot be counted standing before the throne of God in worship. Right away, we hear just how different this mountain is than Mount Sinai. Because you see, back in the Book of Deuteronomy, as Moses reflects upon the experience of Sinai, we learned that at Sinai when Israel was standing before the mountain, there were actually a myriad of angels on the mountain. But at Sinai, God's people didn't come close to actually see those angels. One can even imagine that some of those angels on Sinai were like the cherub who guarded the Garden of Eden after the fall, forbidding any unclean thing from ascending the mount of the Lord. Whatever we say about that, when we take stock of Zion, we're told that we join with the company of worshiping angels in the courts of God. We are with them and they are with us. We also come, our author tells us, to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven and the spirits of the righteous made perfect. Now, these references are references that are loaded with significance, but in essence, they describe for us the one church, the one people of God, spanning both Old Testament and New Testament. Typically theologians in speaking about different aspects of the one church, the one people of God, use these terms the church militant and the church triumphant. The church militant refers to the church here on Earth, those believers all around the world who right now are engaged in the race that is the Christian life. That's us. We are the church militant. The church triumphant refers to all of those Old Testament and New Testament believers who have finished the race and who now rest in heaven and glory. According to our author here, the Zion to which we come, is a mountain occupied by both the church militant and the church triumphant. It's a mountain filled with believers all around the world. Believers who worship right now with us in Colombia and Romania, in India and all around the world. But it's also filled with believers from the Old Testament and New Testament who have already died and gone to be with the Lord. Together on Zion, we have come as both the church militant and the church triumphant in worship, and specifically to God, the judge of all. Now, as soon as we come across that reference to God as judge, that may make us stop in our tracks for a moment and think, hold on, that sounds a lot like Sinai. We've already heard that back at Sinai, you can't approach this God who is judge. So how is it that we can approach this one God on Zion, but not on Sinai? Well, the answer to this question comes in verse 24, where we hear that Zion stands out, because on this mountain is Jesus, the mediator of the New Covenant and the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. Understand that it is the crucified, resurrected and ascended Jesus Christ who sets these two mountain destinations apart. Calvin writes this he says, "The author of Hebrews adds this reference to Jesus in the last place because it is he alone through whom the Father is reconciled to us and who renders his face serene and lovely to us so that we may come to him without fear." Understand that the approachability that's characteristic of our mountain home, of Zion, has nothing to do with God lessening his standards of perfection, or God setting aside his perfect holiness. It has nothing to do with that or with you or I becoming somehow more acceptable and lovely in a sight. Rather, it has everything to do with the better mediator of the New Covenant, Jesus Christ, our Lord, and His more precious blood that speaks a better word than Abel's. Through faith in Christ and through Christ alone, we are invited to ascend this mountain and to worship with both the church militant and triumphant, and to stand in all with the worshipping community, including the celestial beings who join with us. But while it's Jesus who brings us to this better mountain, the question remains when and where do we actually enjoy the privileges that accompany Mount Zion? You see, if this is the mountain to which we have already come in Christ, our author told us that in verse 18. It's not a mountain necessarily that we look forward to in the future. It's a mountain that we have already come to right now. Then the question remains, when do we enjoy all the benefits of gathering with the church militant here on earth, and the church triumphant in heaven and innumerable angels who worship before the throne? Well, in part, the answer to that question is right now. Understand that when we worship, when local churches around the world gather together each Lord's day, there is an even greater assembly, spiritually speaking, to which we come. Theologian Edmund Clowney puts it like this. He says, quote, "In corporate worship, we rise by faith to enter the heavenly assembly of the saints and angels. We join in a very real way, the praises of heaven." You see, our author is pulling back the veil, as it were, for us to gaze on the reality of where we belong right now. Our citizenship is in heaven. We've mentioned that many, many a times. This is what the place we call home looks like. The worship that rings out in heaven is the same worship in which we, Harvest Community Church are participating right now as we speak. So let me ask you this, with that in view, is your present posture fitted for that kind of worship? Is your present posture fitted for that kind of worship? A few years ago, I attended a fairly large theology conference where thousands of professors and students from various seminaries and universities around the world gathered to present research and talk about a host of important theology topics. Now, this nerd conference, you can call it, was business casual. Most of the men who were there were dressed like I am right now. That's how I dressed, too. But there was one evening of the conference where I was invited to a social that was put on by a fairly large seminary outside the formal time of the conference. It was presented to me as something of an informal meet and greet. So before I went downstairs to the ballroom that evening for to gather and participate in that social, I changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, and then I went downstairs. As soon as I walked in and I felt embarrassed and overwhelmed and completely out of place. For one thing, no one else interpreted informal meet and greet as an opportunity to dress down. Everyone else was just as well dressed as they were during the day. For another thing, this wasn't any small, informal meet and greet that I was invited to, because when I walked in, I couldn't find my friend anywhere, but I did run in to a number of some of the greatest theological minds out there, theologians that I greatly admire and looked up to. You might think that was a pleasant surprise, but it was incredibly intimidating to me in a way that I didn't expect to be intimidated. You see, at every point, both my dress and my expectations, were completely unfit for the setting in which I now found myself. Now, I'm sure all of us can recall experiences of social awkwardness like that in our own lives, where we felt completely out of place and uncomfortable. Settings, where we discover that there was in fact a great discrepancy between what we expected and what actually we encountered. When it comes to the worship of the living God and we see the reality in our text of where we have come every time we enter into this assembly and corporate worship. Do you find that your posture is actually fitted for that reality? Now, don't mistake what I'm saying here. I'm not talking about something as simple or superficial about the clothes that we wear in worship or anything like that. Rather, I'm talking about the posture of our hearts and our expectations for what happens in worship. Whether you are preparing yourselves when you come in here in a way that's fitted for the cosmic setting in which our little worship service actually unfolds. Understand that if this description of Zion is the reality of our worship, our worship right now, as we speak, then that has to affect our attitude, our posture and our expectations. It means that when we come together, we bring the best of ourselves. That when we come together, that we come with the same diligence and focus that many of us apply to our own vocations throughout the week. It means that we take this time seriously, that we feel the weight and gravitas of what this is, and that we humble ourselves enough to let the one we approach through his word and spirit actually work on us and change us. So let me ask you this. Where is your mind right now? Yes. You're physically here. I see you. But are you actually engaged in what we're doing or are your thoughts instead drifting to things like the English Premier League scoreboard? I can relate with that. Or all the things that you're hoping to accomplish later this afternoon. Remember, our big idea is to live as residents of the Heavenly Zion and one of the ways we do that is by checking the posture of our hearts and the attentiveness of our minds and asking whether or not they are fitted in the moment for the heavenly worship in which we have come. One Mountain to Call Home So our author describes these two mountain destinations and he tells us that we belong right now to one and not the other. But as we move to the second half of our passage, it will be much shorter here. We hear that Zion is the only place to call home. It's a kingdom that we have already received, and it's the only kingdom that will, in the end, stand. Earlier this week, I was I was reminded that it's been 42 years since the massive Mount St Helens volcanic eruption that took place on May 18, 1980. If you've ever seen pictures in the aftermath of that eruption, the whole region right around northern Washington just looked like a barren wasteland. Nearly 100 square miles of forest were leveled, mud and ash buried, everything. Rivers were rerouted. Tragically, 57 people who were positioned way too close to the mountains were unable to escape from the fury of superheated mud, ash and lava, and were killed. Well, when we turn to the second half of our passage, we hear that those who find their home not on Mount Zion but on Mount Sinai, will sadly and tragically not escape on the day when God judges the world. You see our author in verses 25 through 29, he turns from the present choice facing his audience. That is the choice to either go back to Mount Sinai or to live for where you already are, Mount Zion. He shows us a window into the future. In the future he tells us a day is coming when the Lord is going to shake both heaven and earth in a way that exponentially surpasses any shaking that happened on Sinai. Our author authors quoting here in verse 26 from a passage in the Old Testament from Haggai 2:6, which likewise looked forward to a day when God would make all things right, when He would put away all rebellion against him and his kingdom and make all things that were wrong right again. In that day, he tells us, Zion and its residents have nothing to fear because they belong to a kingdom, we belong to a kingdom in Christ that cannot be shaken. But Sinai and its residents, they face a terrifying prospect to which Mount St Helens pales in comparison. So in view of this terrifying future that our author portends, that he looks forward to in verse 25, he explicitly calls us to recognize there's a lot at stake in the future based on the decisions, the faith decisions that we make right now. First thing, he gives us a lesson from history, and he reminds us that God's people in the Old Testament didn't escape judgment when they eventually failed to heed what God commanded them to heed at Sinai. If we were to look back at the books of Exodus and Numbers, we would learn that while that initial encounter with God at Sinai initially produced an obedient response among Israel, by the time Israel left Mount Sinai and wandered into the desert, we learned that they were hardened again in their sin and they became a people marked by unbelief. As a result, a whole generation was condemned to death in the wilderness, unable to arrive at the land of promise because of their unbelief. You can read all about that in the Book of Numbers. Now, in view of what we've come to in Christ, our author tells us that the stakes are exponentially higher. If we reject Christ, the final sacrifice for sins, the sacrifice that the whole Old Covenant administration eagerly anticipated. The hope of Zion that people like Abraham and his sons looked forward to all the days of their earthly sojourn and we decide instead to go about life on our own terms. If we decide to listen to whatever voices we find more palatable, voices that pamper us in every sinful tendency we have. It's not a physical death that we have to worry about. It's an eternal death. Friends, the stakes couldn't be higher. Yet, in this final appeal to his readers, including to you and me, in view of what is at stake, it's significant that our author doesn't tell us to strap on our climbing gear, cross our fingers, and hope against all, hope that we make it to the top before that earthquake breaks out. Rather, he tells us, reminds us again, that in Christ we've already reached the top. In Christ, Zion is already our home. You know, sometimes when we talk about the Christian life, you might hear it said that we never arrive in the sense that we're always repenting of our sins, being renewed in the truth of the gospel, and that will always be the case until we die. That's most certainly true. At the same time, there's an equally true sense in which we already have arrived. You see, if Christ is your trust, you've already received a kingdom that cannot be shaken. It's a kingdom that you didn't work for. It's a kingdom you didn't build yourself. It's a kingdom you did not earn. Rather, in the same way that the earth receives the rain, so to we in Christ have received an unshakable kingdom. Already, it's yours, right now it's mine as we speak. Our present posture then, isn't to try to earn what we already have. Rather, it's to live our lives more and more in accordance with what we already possess. Application So how do we do that? When our author closes the passage, he directs us according to that question with two pretty simple commands. He tells us, first, to be grateful, be thankful, and then the second to worship. You know, back in the spring of 2016, there was a little known English Premier League soccer team named Leicester City. Leicester City shocked the world when they overcame 5000 to 1 odds from the beginning of the season to actually win the Premier League title. The odds they came overcame were so ridiculous that if you were a betting man or woman and you bet $25 on Leicester City winning the title at the start of the season, you ended up with $125,000 on the day they claim the title. That's what actually happened for a few people, talk about a missed opportunity. It remains one of the biggest upsets in professional sports history. Well, in the aftermath of that unprecedented victory, the owner of the club was so undone, he was so appreciative of his players and what they had achieved. That as an expression of his gratitude, he purchased 19 custom order BMWs, each with each price that well over $100,000 for each of his players. It wasn't, as far as I know, out of obligation or duty. It was a tremendous expression of gratitude for the coveted prize that they had won for both him and for the club. Well, brothers and sisters, the victory that Christ won for the salvation of our souls, the victory that brought us to Zion was a victory that dwarfs in every way the victory that some soccer club won one season. It's a victory far more dramatic, too. Because the odds that we would have had to overcome on our own because of our sin were infinite to one. Yet they were odds that Christ overcame for us. Yet for as much as Christ did for us, which we could not do for ourselves, remember the kingdom that we have come to, the kingdom that we that we have in our possession right now is a kingdom we have received. Do we respond to that with a fitting posture of gratitude or not? If the home we've received in this mountain home described in our passage is truly what our author describes, then shouldn't we be willing to give up anything in gratitude for what we've received? Should we not live our thanks by giving up those things that are more suited to the kingdoms of this world, and in turn give the best of what we have in worship of this king and his kingdom into whose presence we have come in Christ? What we have in Christ is, again, not something we could ever buy. It's not something we could ever earn, but it's something that we have indeed received, inherited as a gift. The only way that we could ever dare respond to a gift of this magnitude is by the gratitude and the totality giving the totality of our lives in surrender to the King of Zion and worship him and him alone. So as we prepare to close, let me leave us with this closing thought. Build your home in the kingdom that you have already received. Invest in the home in which you already have on Zion. At the end of the day, or more properly, at the end of the age, our author reminds us that only eternal things will endure. That is, things pertaining to heaven, things pertaining to the Kingdom of God. At the end of the day, so many of the things that we obsess over endlessly in this world are just not going to matter. They will be shaken and removed. While that's not to say that we don't enjoy God's creation at present or anything like that. It is to force us to think about whether we're spending enough time thinking about and living for the kingdom that we already possess and the King who we call our own? Or are we focused more on things that will eventually pass away? That's the question I want to leave us with. At the end of the day, our passage would want to leave us with that, too. Our passage would have us build our home; invest in the kingdom that we have already received through Christ Jesus our Lord. Let's do that and pray with me. Gracious Heavenly Father, Lord, you have brought us to a place of awe. You've brought us to you, through Christ, through the blood, through the way that Christ has opened up through His own precious blood. You have brought us to this cosmic worship setting. Lord, I pray that we would be attentive to that very reality. Attentive to that reality in our worship, attentive to that reality in our lives, and that we would invest more and more in that present reality as we live more and more as citizens, not of Sinai, but of where we actually are, what we've already come into possession of, namely Zion. We ask this in Christ name. Amen.

Persistence: Takin' It to the Streets (Protein Man) And Underground (Charles Pearson)This episode has two stories on the theme of persistence.  When is persistence helpful and when is it just annoying?  When is persistence visionary and when is it obsession?Meet Stanley Green, who most people know as Protein Man, spent 23 years walking up and down Oxford Street with a placard warning of the the dangers of protein. Stanley wasn't an animal rights activist. He wasn't concerned about the consequences of cholesterol. No. In Stanley's view, protein led to passion, and passion was … bad. We'll think about Stanley's routines and his vision.Then, we'll switch tracks - literally - to something perhaps a bit more familiar, yet just as omnipresently persistent: The Tube. Love it, hate it, tolerate it, obsess over it, think what you will, but no one can deny its consistence and importance when it comes to maintaining the pulse of London. We will discuss the persistence of Charles Pearson, an activist who saw the potential of an underground railway as a path to achieving greater social equity, and glance at the disasters - both natural and human made - that have threatened its consistency over the years.Photos and links can be found at our show notes HERE.Do you like what you hear?  Please help us find our audience by spreading some good cheer with a 5 star rating and review on Apple Podcasts!Our website  https://yltpodcast.buzzsprout.com/ Follow us on:Twitter @YLT_PodFacebook @Yesterday's London Times PodcastInstagram @Yesterday's London Times Podcast

Seven Things I Wish Christians Knew is a podcast based on the book of the same name by Dr. Michael Bird, a super-series designed to help you get past seven of the most common mistakes Christians make when it comes to the Bible.This episode, chapter 4: The Bible is for our time not about our time. When we read the Bible, we are entering into a historically and culturally distant world and we must “mind the gap” as they say on the London Tube.We begin with a reading from Dr. Bird's book about the importance of understanding the specific situation of its authors. Then Mike Bird interviews Dr. Lyn Kidson on how to respect our historical distance from the text so we don't distort its meaning.Dr. Kidson is a lecturer in New Testament at Alpha Crucis College who specialises in the Pastoral Epistles. She is also an honorary postdoctoral associate at Macquarie University and a regular presenter at academic conferences, as well as being a committee member for the Society for the Study of Early Christianity. So all up, she's a great person to help us understand why the Bible is for our time but not about our time.Want to dig into more of the detail?

Commuter rail routes groaned back into the service today, but suffered cancellations and Covid-linked train staff shortages. Prepare yourself for hefty fare increases in 2022...but could Crossrail, AKA the Elizabeth Line, finally open?The Standard's City Hall Editor Ross Lydall examines the year's public transport issues ahead. Mainline fare increases of 3.8 per cent are incoming, while Tube passengers can expect a 4.8% hike. Commuters are also set to face future travel chaos after the RMT union voted for a six-month strike from January 7. The RMT action will see members walk-out from the Victoria and Central lines at 8.30pm on Friday until 8am on Saturday, and from 8.30pm on Saturday until 8am on Sunday. Transport chiefs say they are “disappointed” at the planned strikes, warning it will “cause unnecessary disruption”. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

लंदन ट्यूब दुनिया की सबसे पुरानी सक्रीय मेट्रो सेवा है। अपनी कारों, बसों और तमाम सुविधाओं के बावजूद लंदन ट्यूब आज भी शहर में यातायात का सबसे पसंदीदा साधन है। मेट्रो ट्रेन और उसके स्टेशन शहर की ज़िन्दगी की परछाईं हैं। ट्यूब में घूमना लंदन के जीवन की झलक देखने के सामान है। लंदन ट्यूब एक ऐसे समाज का दर्शन कराती है जो बाहर से बेरुखा होते हुए भी अंदर से किसी के साथ के लिए लालायित दिखता है। London Tube is a microcosm of London city itself. The lifeline ferries millions of residents through the day with clockwork precision and cold efficiency. However, it's the night where a different face of the city is visible on these trains - mellow, friendly and vulnerable. It's as if the night makes them yearn for comfort in each others' presence and smiles.

Lacework raised an eye-popping $1.3 billion in funding last week. I joke about it being a result of them sponsoring this podcast, for which I thank them, but that's not the entire story. “Why would someone pay for Lacework when AWS offers a bunch of security services?” Is a reasonable question. The answer is that AWS offers a bunch of security services, doesn't articulate how they all fit together super well, and the cost of running them all on a busy account likely exceeds the cost of a data breach. Security has to be simple to understand. An architecture diagram that looks busier than a London Tube map is absolutely not that. Cloud services are complex, but inside of that complexity lies a lot of room for misconfiguration. Being condescendingly told after the fact about AWS's Shared Responsibility Model is cold comfort. Vendors who can simplify that story and deliver on that promise stand to win massively here.Now, let's see what happened last week. The NSA and CISA have a new set of security guidelines for 5G networks. I'm sorry, but what about this is specific to 5G networks? It's all about zero trust, assuming that any given node inside the perimeter might be compromised, and the like. None of this is particularly germane to 5G, so I've got to ask, what am I missing?A company called RedDoorz—spelled with a Z, because of course it is—was fined by Singapore's regulatory authority for leaking 5.9 million records. That's good. The fine was $54,456 USD, which seems significantly less good? I mean, that's “Cost of doing business” territory when you're talking about data breaches. In an ideal world it would hurt a smidgen more as a goad to inspire companies to do better than they are? Am I just a dreamer here?I found a list of 4 Security Questions to Ask About Your Salesforce Application, and is great, and I don't give a toss about the Salesforce aspect of it. They are, one, who are the users with excessive privileges? Two, what would happen if a legitimate user started acting in a suspicious way? Three, what would happen if a threat actor gained access to sensitive data through a poor third-Party integration? And, four, what would happen if your incident log is not properly configured? These are important questions to ask about basically every application in your environment. I promise, you probably won't like the answers—but attackers ask them constantly. You should, too.Corey: This episode is sponsored in part by something new. Cloud Academy is a training platform built on two primary goals: having the highest quality content in tech and cloud skills, and building a good community that is rich and full of IT and engineering professionals. You wouldn't think those things go together, but sometimes they do. It's both useful for individuals and large enterprises, but here's what makes this something new—I don't use that term lightly—Cloud Academy invites you to showcase just how good your AWS skills are. For the next four weeks, you'll have a chance to prove yourself. Compete in four unique lab challenges where they'll be awarding more than $2,000 in cash and prizes. I'm not kidding: first place is a thousand bucks. Pre-register for the first challenge now, one that I picked out myself on Amazon SNS image resizing, by visiting cloudacademy.com/corey—C-O-R-E-Y. That's cloudacademy.com/corey. We're going to have some fun with this one.Corey: Now, from the mouth of AWS horse, there was an interesting article there. Managing temporary elevated access to your AWS environment. Now, this post is complicated, but yes, ideally users shouldn't be using accounts with permissions to destroy production in day-to-day use; more restricted permissions should be used for daily work, and then people elevate to greater permissions only long enough to perform a task that requires them. That's the Linux ‘sudo' model. Unfortunately, implementing this is hard and ‘sudo zsh' is often the only command people ever run from their non-admin accounts.And one more. Everything you wanted to know about trusts with AWS Managed Microsoft AD. Look, I don't touch these things myself basically ever. I haven't done anything with Active Directory since the mid-naughts, and I don't want to know anything about them. That said, I do accept that others will care about it and that's why I mention it. I'm here for you.And lastly, as far as tools go, have you ever tried to work with CloudTrail logs yourself? Yeah, you might have noticed the experience was complete crap. This is why I talk about trailscraper, which I discovered last week. It makes it way easier to look for specific patterns in your logs, or even just grab the logs in non-compressed format to work with more easily. And that's what happened last week in the world of AWS security. Next week is re:Invent, and Lord alone knows what nonsense we're going to uncover then. Strap in, it's going to be an experience.

A leading ecologist argues that if humankind is to survive on a fragile planet, we must understand and obey its iron laws. Over the past century, our species has made unprecedented technological innovations with which we have sought to control nature. From river levees to enormous one-crop fields, we continue to try to reshape nature for our purposes - so much so it seems we may be in danger of destroying it. In A Natural History of the Future, biologist Rob Dunn argues that nothing could be further from the truth: rather than asking whether nature will survive us, better to ask whether we will survive nature. Despite our best - or worst - efforts to control the biological world, life has its own rules, and no amount of human tampering can rewrite them. Elucidating several fundamental laws of ecology, evolution and biogeography, Dunn shows why life cannot be stopped. We sequester our crops on monocultured fields, only to find new life emerging to attack them. We dump toxic waste only to find microbes to colonise it. And even in the London Tube, we have seen a new species of mosquito emerge to take advantage of an apparently inhospitable habitat. Life will not be repressed by our best-laid plans. Instead, Dunn shows us a vision of the biological future and the challenges the next generations could face. A Natural History of the Future sets a new standard for understanding the diversity of life and our future as a species.

Welcome to the Elevator World News Podcast. Today’s podcast news podcast is sponsored by elevatorbooks.com: www.elevatorbooks.com SOME OF LONDON TUBE’S OLDEST ESCALATORS BEING REPLACED A trio of new escalators to replace some of the oldest serving the London Tube are coming to the Marylebone Station in West London, MyLondon reports. Transport for London has already started on the three-year project, which includes a new escalator to replace a staircase and replacement of two existing escalators. Two escalators — one up and one down — will remain open throughout the work, set to start in earnest in September. The source shared interesting facts about escalators that serve stations like Marylebone along the Bakerloo Line, such as: • Marylebone units date as far back as 1943. • Each unit weighs approximately 40 mT and carries millions of passengers each year. • Tube escalators operate in both directions for up to 20 h per day. • A typical 15-m-rise escalator has roughly 15,000 moving parts.

An underemployed draftsman named Harry Beck looked at the original London Underground map, realized it was crap, and set himself the task of creating a better one. By ignoring one of the cardinal rules of mapmaking he showed how to make transit maps better and easier to use.  Minicasts are short stories for fans of quick, to-the-point podcasts and as a nice change of pace from the longer full episodes of Mass for Shut-ins.

Get your Oscar polished and your artistic mind in check as we sit down and celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bond with the 2012 film that many people say helped bring Bond back, Skyfall. Why did somebody best known for a floating plastic bag get the job as director? Why is there so little nipples in this film? Should Ronson be given a national memorial in his honour? Is James Bond drinking a beer really a big deal? Does Ben or Noah think there isn't much action in this film? Did James Bond really experiment with his homosexuality? Why do London Tube drivers seem so excited to be in their jobs? And who is a bozo this episode? Click away, find out and get yourself an award for doing so. It's art-house OK?

Paul shares his experience being objectified on the London Tube by two American women. Noticing that the two women were talking about him, Paul felt himself play to the attention. In fact, he admits changing his posture, shifting his eye contact, and generally playing the role of sex object. When the women left the train Paul had an epiphany: attractive women go through this on a daily basis. It’s both a trap and an opportunity. When women realize they can play this card they have a choice to make: how much of their identity do they want to derive from being a sex object? Next, the guys discuss what makes good film and television drama. Paul mentions Bridge of Spies, the new Spielberg film, as a great example of a film in which the protagonist takes a morally ambiguous position. Because of this, the audience members ask themselves, “Would I make the same decision if placed in a similar situation?” In another drama, the British television series Scott & Bailey, which follows two female homicide detectives in Manchester, the female lead makes some unflattering choices, forcing the audience into an ambivalent position. Do we support her, or not? Either way, the audience is invested. That’s good drama. Finally, the guys talk about the arrogance of youth which allows people in their 20’s to be dismissive of romantic partners or career choices based on a vision of what they want in later life. Peter and Paul discuss Kierkegaard’s famous observation and reflect on how difficult it is to know when we’re young what will makes us happy when we’re old.

Welcome to another great Summer Camp episode! Today's is more of an evergreen topic, because we care about the successes of our children in all seasons. It's true that this interview is not solely about summer; but as we head back into the school year, it's also a good time to think about how to help our kids in life. And maybe, not even just our kids – but us! I'm looking forward to sharing this great show with you, you're going to love today's guest. Do you go through a daily struggle to balance your work time with your family time? Have you ever wondered if your gender plays a part in how successful you are at work, how much money you earn, whether you get a big promotion – or watch it go to someone else? Today's guest and I talk about all things women and workplace, the subject of her very successful podcast with a great name: The Broad Experience. Ashley Milne-Tyte grew up in London, riding public buses and then the London Tube, both by herself, to school. She spent her summers in rural Pennsylvania enjoying the kind of independence that kids used to take for granted, riding bikes or exploring the woods with friends and really only being required to "be back home for meals." Our conversation starts with differences between childhood then and now, and progresses to where her expertise helps you – and your kids – enjoy successes both in work and life. Listen for: how the myth that "having babies" is the only thing that holds women back in the workplace is completely wrong; women have difficulty climbing as high in the corporate world as men for lots of reasons, and knowing these reasons can help women be more successful what can be learned from two of my favorite books – and two books on my Fabulous Five list of books that help us be better parents – Free Range Kids by Lenore Skenazy, and Cinderella Ate My Daughter by Peggy Orenstein a great piece of advice for anyone of any gender: develop the ability to advocate for yourself; to help with this Ashley recommends the book, Ask for it: How Women Can Use the Power of Negotiation to Get what They Really Want, by Linda Babcock and Sara Laschever, which is winging its way to me from the library as I write :-) Ashley Milne-Tyte's expertise lies in storytelling, and in today's episode we really get a sense of that, as she shares stories from her own childhood, work experiences and setbacks. You'll finish the episode with a huge smile on your face, both because you'll have a better sense of how to be successful yourself and how to help your children be successful in the workplace when they are all grown up. You'll also have a huge smile on your face because you've got so many Broad Experience episodes to listen to in your future!

This week, we discuss a recent article in The Guardian in which a British journalist trashed the New York City subway system for being needlessly confusing and extremely disgusting. In the interest of fairness, we, as New Yorkers, discuss our impressions of the London Tube and rationally compare the two public transportation systems in a calm and reasonable manner. Also this week, Tom shows off his new iPhone that he bought after doing some ridiculous research, and we solve a listener's problem that causes Tim to reevaluate the way he lives his life. Read the original article about the NYC subway at the Guardian's website: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/sep/23/new-york-subway-homesick-london-underground-mta-map This week's episode is brought to you by Audible.

No good deed goes unpunished! Richard Mayhew decides in a split second to rescue a wounded girl bleeding on the pavement instead of accompanying his girl-friend to an important dinner, and his life is turned upside down. And by upside down, I do mean upside down! He is drawn into a world underground that bears little resemblance (and yet it does!) to his own. Richard has entered London Below, the labyrinthic universe of the London “Tube” where things are not what they seem. Akin to Alice stepping into the looking-glass, Richard will have to figure out how to behave in a world whose rules are unfamiliar. And to top it all, he is now fully involved in a creepy situation helping Door, the young wounded lady, find out who killed her family and why. By now “Neverwhere” has become a Classic of urban fantasy. Dark but overly, funny at times, definitely exciting and fast pace, the reader is taken along with Richard into a world that will make you wonder which one of the two, London Below or London Above is better, and, to some extend, which one (of any) is real. A fun take on perception and reality. A great great GREAT book! :D

Audio File:  Download MP3Transcript: An Interview with Gillian Caldwell Executive Director, Witness Date: August 9, 2007 NCWIT Interview with Gillian Caldwell BIO: Gillian Caldwell took the helm as the CEO for Global Witness in July of 2015. Prior to that, she was the Executive Director of WITNESS (www.witness.org), which uses the power of video to open the eyes of the world to human rights abuses. By partnering with local organizations around the globe, WITNESS empowers human rights defenders to use video as a tool to shine a light on those most affected by human rights violations, and to transform personal stories of abuse into powerful tools of justice. Since its founding in 1992, WITNESS has partnered with groups in more than 60 countries, bringing often unseen images, untold stories and seldom heard voices to the attention of key decision makers, the media, and the general public -- prompting grassroots activism, political engagement, and lasting change. A film-maker and an attorney, Gillian has experience in the areas of international human rights, civil rights, intellectual property, contracts, and family law. At WITNESS, she has helped produce numerous documentary videos for use in advocacy campaigns around the world, including Outlawed: Extraordinary Rendition, Torture and Disappearances in the "War on Terror";System Failure: Violence, Abuse and Neglect in the California Youth Authority; Books Not Bars; and Operation Fine Girl: Rape Used as a Weapon of War in Sierra Leone. She is also co-editor and author of a book published by Pluto Press called Video for Change: A Guide to Advocacy and Activism (2005). Gillian was formerly the Co-Director of the Global Survival Network, where she coordinated a two-year undercover investigation into the trafficking of women for forced prostitution from Russia and the Newly Independent States that helped spur new anti-trafficking legislation in the U.S. and abroad. She also produced and directed Bought & Sold, a documentary film based on the investigation which received widespread media coverage. Gillian lived in South Africa during 1991 and 1992, investigating hit squads and security force involvement in township violence, and has worked in Boston, Washington, D.C., and New York on issues related to poverty and violence. Gillian has been awarded the Echoing Green Fellowship (1996-1998), the Rockefeller Foundation Next Generation Leadership Award (2000), the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship Award Winner (2001-present), the Tech Laureate of the Tech Museum (2003), Ashoka: Innovators for the Public as a special partner (2003), Journalist of the Month by Women's Enews (2004), and the Skoll Social Entrepreneurship Award (2005). Gillian is a member of the Social Venture Network, promoting new models and leadership for socially and environmentally sustainable business in the 21st century, and she is admitted to the Bar in NY and Washington, D.C. She received her BA from Harvard University and her J.D. from Georgetown University, where she was honored as a Public Interest Law Scholar. Larry Nelson: This is Larry Nelson, with w3w3.com, Colorado's Voice of the Technology and Business Community. And we are a very fortunate proud partner with the National Center for Women and Information Technology, or, as we call it, NCWIT. And we've got a three‑part interview here; we're doing a wonderful interview with a very strong entrepreneur that we are very interested in talking with on some interesting topics. And we're here today with Lucinda Sanders ‑ we call her Lucy; all of her friends do ‑ who is the CEO of NCWIT, as well as Leigh Kennedy, who is on the board at NCWIT; and she's a serial entrepreneur herself. So, Lucy, welcome to the show. Let's get into it and introduce your guest. Lucy Sanders: Well, today, we're introducing Gillian Caldwell, who is the executive director of Witness. I have to say, Gillian, after really looking at your website and understanding what the mission of Witness is, it's a very compelling mission that you have. And your tagline, "See It, Film It, Change It", I thought, was one of the best tag lines I've ever seen for the mission of an organization. Can you give us a little bit of background about witness? I know you started it in 1992. Gillian Caldwell: Yes. So, witness was founded in 1992 by musician and advocate Peter Gabriel. He was struck, when he was touring with Amnesty International, by the isolation of the human‑rights defenders that he met in countries around the world who had had their stories of abuse denied and covered up and forgotten. And he had with him, at that time, in 1989, a handheld video camera; it was a Hi8; it cost about $1, 800. And he was using that camera to record their stories and their experiences; and he was struck by the potential of those stories and that technology to bridge the gap and connect audiences all around the world to those realities and ensure they weren't covered up and forgotten. And Witness was founded just a few years later, in the wake of the beating of Rodney King, which, of course, was shot by a handheld video camera, which galvanized an international conversation about police brutality. The Reebok Human Rights Foundation provided the early seed funding in 1992. And witness began as a technology‑transfer organization, with a primary focus on donating handheld video cameras to human‑rights advocates around the world. Over the last fifteen years, since we were founded in 1992, Witness has evolved considerably. And, at this stage, as you suggest at the outset, our focus is on enabling people to see it, film it, and change it. We don't just provide the camera: but we provide both the technical and strategic support that human‑rights defenders need to document the violations; ensure that they can, in a compelling, story‑driven way, explain not just the problem, but the solution; and get that media in front of the audiences that can make a difference, whether it's a Congressional subcommittee trying to decide whether or not to allocate armed forces and funding in the context of the genocide in Darfur, or whether it's a local judicial official who is being influenced by the evidence that's being presented before him on a videotape. Lucy: Well, and I think, in looking at your site, as well, you're using all the Internet and Web 2.0 technology now to really create this worldwide audience. I mean it's a very compelling use of technology to achieve social good. Gillian: What's really exciting at this stage is that I'm just about to launch something called "the Hub", which will basically be a kind of a YouTube for human rights or, as I like to think of it, a YouMyWikiTube for human rights. If you imagine the technologies and the philosophies of YouTube, MySpace, and Wikipedia, you get close to what we're trying to do at the Hub, which is a site that will be premiering in the fall of 2007. So this is a destination, a website, to which anybody anywhere could upload visual imagery, whether it's photographs or video, or possibly even audio content, of human‑rights‑related issues in their communities, here in the United States and around the world. They can upload it and opt in to a community of people that care about those issues and support campaigns for change. Lucy: Well, so, it's real evidence of how technology supports social entrepreneurism. And that gets me to my first question about technology in general: what technologies do you see on the horizon that are really going to make a difference for you, in addition to the Web 2.0 and Internet types of technology? Gillian: Well, of course, the cell phone, and particularly video‑ and photograph‑enabled cell phones, are really making a difference. I mean, historically, when people thought about the Rodney King beating, they thought "Oh, if you can just capture the abuse as it happens, it will make all the difference"; and the reality is that, with the larger video cameras people have historically used, you're unlikely to be in the wrong place at the right time. But, now, with the handheld cell phones, so many of which are video‑enabled and photograph‑enabled, there is a brand new opportunity to capture that abuse as it happens. If you think back to the London Tube bombings, just a couple of years ago, when a so‑called citizen journalist was reporting live from inside the London Tubes and the BBC moved ahead to create an email address to which anybody could email imagery of news‑related stories in their community, you start to realize that the cell phone is actually really revolutionizing the way we access information, as is text‑messaging and, of course, the Internet, which really didn't exist when Witness was founded. Lucy: And the cell network is very ubiquitous as well, especially in developing countries. Gillian: Right. I mean we still have a massive digital divide: but the beauty of the cell networks is that many of the countries which have historically been confronted with that massive divide will be able to leapfrog over the physical infrastructure, as those cellular networks are strengthened; and we'll be able to embed larger and larger files and transmit larger files over the cellular networks. But it is a concern, still, of course, when we think about the challenges of the Hub. And to take, for example, perhaps a humanitarian‑aid worker in Darfur, who happens to be on the spot as a genocide unfolds, who captures some of that imagery on their cell phone, and who wants to upload it to the Hub so that maybe the Save Darfur Coalition, in Washington, D.C., can then download it and provide that to the Congressional subcommittee: that aid worker faces several challenges. First of all: What's the bandwidth? What's the cost? What's the expense to upload that content? And does he have the strength of signal to do it? And secondly: What about the security risks? Here's a big issue for us, because, of course, if we log the IP addresses of the people who are uploading content, even if we enable them to upload the content anonymously, they really may be at risk, and we could face a subpoena, as Yahoo! Did in the case of Chinese dissidents. So the simple size of the file, of the video file, as it stands, makes it very difficult to encrypt or anonymize those files and it does put people at risk. So the technology is still insipient in terms of really fully enabling what we're talking about. Lucy: It is interesting how you've continually used the latest technologies to help in the pursuit. So, if we switch gears a little bit and we think about you being an entrepreneur: why did you decide to be an entrepreneur, and what is it about entrepreneurship that really makes you tick? Gillian: Well, I mean it's interesting that I have been sort of dubbed a social entrepreneur by a variety of organizations that recognize people in that field, whether it's Ashoka, or the Skoll Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, or the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship, really going back to about 2001. And a social entrepreneur is defined variously; but it's really understood as somebody who's really taking an innovative and sustainable approach to an old problem. And what Ashoka says about social entrepreneurs is that they're born that way. And it's funny: it isn't a primary identity for me; but, more and more, I do understand myself as somebody who's genetically inclined towards innovation and towards growing new ideas and towards thinking really tactically and strategically about what's sustainable. But my passion is not earning income: my passion is doing work that feeds my soul; and that's why I've always invested myself in work that delivers social value.. Larry Nelson: Gillian, who in your life really helped, supported your ‑ whether it was genetically inclined beginnings, or was it a mentor that came along the way? Was it a particular group that really had a major influence on your direction? Gillian: Well, I think, like so many people, the most formative influences for me were both my family ‑ particularly parents, who were not, themselves, deeply involved at a political level but who really had what I would call progressive values and who were very driven by integrity, in terms of how they thought about the world ‑ and then, of course, my teachers, particularly my history teachers, in grammar school and in high school, who introduced me to Amnesty International. I began running my high‑school chapter of Amnesty International when I was 12 years old; and I recall organizing weekly Urgent Action letter‑writing campaigns with students, getting dozens of students to write letters to President Zia‑ul‑Haq, in Pakistan, at the time, about political prisoners. And I remember organizing a school symposium on torture. And, I think, there, again, not just my parents and their support of my commitment to doing social‑justice work, but the teachers that encouraged me. And then additionally, interestingly, the work of an artist by the name of Leon Galag, who died quite recently, but who did a series called The Mercenary Series, which was very powerful, enormous canvases of mercenaries in Latin America torturing political prisoners. And, strangely enough, because I lived in the back of an art gallery in SoHo, in New York, when I was growing up, those paintings were in my living‑room for a period of time. In fact, I've often commented that, in these paintings, in The Mercenary Series, there was always a perpetrator looking at you looking at them, almost making a witness out of you and demanding that you do something about it. So I see a very consistent narrative thread, in terms of my focus on social justice and my focus on enterprise, going back to the days when I used to host regular bake sales on the local street corner to try to earn a little income. Lucy: I'd say this is genetically baked into you. Leigh: No pun intended. I thought it was really interesting, too: you're a lawyer. Did you pursue a law degree in support of your social activism? Gillian: Yes. I decided to get a law degree because I wanted additional credibility and depth, in terms of doing policy‑oriented work. I didn't intend to practice, although I did enjoy the short period of time in which I practiced, both at the administrative level, representing disability applicants, and then also working with special‑education cases and discrimination cases, before I got involved in a big undercover investigation on the Russian Mafia and their involvement in trafficking women for forced prostitution. And that undercover investigation utilized hidden‑camera technologies. We posed as foreign buyers interested in purchasing women. And that was my real introduction to video advocacy, as I now call it. But the law degree was always intended to help give me a little bit more credibility, a little bit more depth. And I didn't ‑ I couldn't anticipate at the time that it would be as useful as it is, of course, in the context of running an organization like Witness, where, you'd think, most of my legal training would come into play in the context of human‑rights law, when, in fact, most of what I really deal with on a daily basis, through the three pro‑bono law firms that support our work, has to do with intellectual‑property and trademark protection. Lucy: That's what I was going to ask you about: digital rights management. But that's probably a discussion for another time. Larry: Yeah. Leigh: So, Gillian, when you think about your career as a social entrepreneur, what's really been the toughest thing that you've had to do? Gillian: The biggest challenge is recognizing that the only thing that will be constant is change, particularly in an organization like Witness, where you're focused on integrating new technologies into social‑change work. You have to stay adaptable and evolutionary, which means you're never standing still. So, while I've been running witness for almost ten years now, I can honestly say that the organization looks, feels, and acts very differently from quarter to quarter. When I started, it was just me; and, at this stage, for fiscal '08, we're going to have a budget of $4.2‑million and a staff of 30. So that's a very different operation than it is to run something that's just two or three people. I think the other thing is that, if you're working as an entrepreneur in a social context, you're constantly in the midst of a so‑called stretch assignment: you're learning as you move through the process. And what's so important is being sure that you're really thoughtful about reaching out to get the advice and guidance and support that you need along the way, and that you build a system and an infrastructure of support surrounding you, because it may not always exist within the organization itself, but there are people that have done it before and you're not always needing to reinvent the wheel. Lucy: Well, and speaking of advice: if you were sitting in a room with some young people, what advice would you give them about entrepreneurship? Gillian: Well, again, I look at it through the perspective of social enterprise. So, for me, the most important advice I could give anybody is to stay committed to evolution; and that means that you have to live as a learner. I think that Gandhi once said that we should live like we are going to die tomorrow but learn like we will live forever. And I really believe that's the case: if we aren't open to learning, and if we don't spend as much time listening as we spend speaking, we can't do anything well. So I think that's the most important thing: to stay adaptable, to stay evolutionary ‑ and to build leadership. Somebody who really is a leader is ultimately somebody who takes all the blame and none of the credit. And that's a hard thing to map your mind around; and, at times, it is a bit of a thankless task, because there's just as many nuts and bolts as there are opportunities for big‑picture strategic visioning to take place. But it's really important to stay humble and to stay open and to stay learning. And, as you mature, over time, you realize that, the more you know, really the less you know, I think. Lucy: That's really true. I have to say Gandhi is ‑ I love his quote: "Be the change you want to see in the world." Gillian: Yeah; well, that's also about really living your values. I think it's so easy to compartmentalize our values and to try to articulate them through the check we write at Christmastime or the bottle we put in the recycling bin. But the reality is that living your values is a full‑time occupation, and it really requires us to challenge ourselves all the time to think and wonder: you know, "Was the thought that just passed through my mind racist?", "Was the dynamic that I just participated in unfair?", "Am I carbon neutral?" I mean all of this is about integrity and about values and about being a productive member of the planet. Lucy: So, speaking of characteristics: when you think about yourself, what personal characteristics do you think have given you advantages in being an entrepreneur? Gillian: Well, I think I have a lot of assets in that department, which have served me really well. One is stick‑to‑it‑iveness: I am dogged and determined, and I will find a way; and that's absolutely necessary. You have to have passion driving your commitment; and I believe, if you're passionate, you can achieve whatever it is that you set out to. It's also important to have solid organizational skills. A lot of entrepreneurs are visionary but aren't fortunate enough to get the skills of discipline and the organization and detail orientation that is required to pull off an enterprise. So, for those people, I think, it's so important to recognize that and surround themselves with people that do complement them well in that way. I think the other issue, of course, is the strategic thinking. And, there, it's making sure not just that you give yourself space and opportunity to think strategically, but also that you create environments in which strategy can evolve through collective conversation. Too often, people at all levels of an organization are not involved in creating and participating and designing a strategy for an organization. And that's what builds ownership, and I think that's what builds better long‑term solutions... Larry Nelson: Gillian, with a background like you ‑ you've had this organization, now, for ten years; you now have a budget of $4.2‑million; you have 31 employees. Here's a question: how do you bring about balance to your personal and your professional lives? Gillian: Well, the quickest way to get some balance is to have some children. And I have two of those: I have a girl, named Tess, who's just about to turn five, and a boy, named Finley, who will be three shortly. And that really, really necessitates a balance, because I will not miss their childhoods. So it enabled me to really walk the walk and talk the talk when it comes to balance. You know, I have certain lines that I draw, in terms of the number of nights a month that I will be away from my children, and a commitment regarding the number of hours I want to be with them at the beginning and the end of each day. So that's really important. The other thing that is so important to me, which I'm really grateful to have been able to bring back into my life, is exercise. And I think everybody finds balance in different ways: some people, through spiritual practice; others, through meditation; and, for me, exercise and, at this stage, running is really critical. So I do run five to six days a week, for roughly 45 minutes; and that's a way to really stay balanced and attuned. Lucy: Well, Gillian, you've really achieved a lot. We haven't even really mentioned it on this interview; but you are an author. You're clearly a passionate activist. You're a lawyer. And, also, you're a techlaureate, from the Tech Museum, which is very impressive as well. You've achieved so much. Oh: and a mom, with great kids. What's next for you? Gillian: Well, interestingly, I'm not somebody who's ever had a clearly designed career path in mind. I'm fortunate that I've been able to work throughout my life in the things that are absolutely engrossing to me and that really make me feel passionate. So I don't have a next step in mind. One of the things that I am increasingly concerned about and do want to direct my attention to, in the context here at Witness and conceivably beyond that, is really the issue of the climate, which is collapsing around us. And I think, first of all, that we are sleeping on the job, in terms of recognizing how serious the issues are, and, second of all, that there is this arbitrary divide between the field of human rights and the environmental movement. And, in fact, if we don't work cohesively together to analyze the intersections between climate collapse and human rights, we're really going to be in trouble. Just by way of example: there will be, and already are, millions of environmental refugees as sea levels rise. Take a look at Bangladesh: much of Bangladesh will be underwater, millions of people forced from their homes. There is already, all over the world today, wars over resource extraction, whether it be wars for oil ‑ of course Iraq comes to mind there ‑ or gold or other natural minerals, which displace hundreds of thousands of people in countries and force them to confront unspeakable violence. There will be the massive spread of vectorial disease. We're already seeing that in disease mutations which function in higher‑temperature environments. So I really see that as a place for a lot more focus and energy; and I'm passionate about seeing what I can do, at Witness and beyond, in that area. Larry: Gillian, I have a feeling that you're going to see it, film it, and change it. Lucy: We really want to thank you for everything you're doing for our world and at Witness. We really appreciate the time that you have taken to talk to us. Gillian: Thank you so much for having me. Lucy: I just want to remind everybody that the podcasts are hosted at the NCWIT website, www.ncwit.org, and also w3w3.com. Larry: That's it. Gillian: And you can go to www.witness.org to learn more about the work. Lucy: Wonderful. Thank you very much. Larry: One more link. Leigh: Thank you, Gillian. Lucy: Bye‑bye. Gillian: O.K. Thank you.
