The elements represent the four creative energies of the universe and each has a set of archetypal energies associated with it. Getting familiar with these can help you better understand their energetic influence on you. Each element is also associated with certain healing stones based on their respective properties and energies. Let's dive into water element crystals, and discover how you can incorporate the power of water into your crystal practice... Water is a powerful ally, a companion, and a wise teacher. Water has had such a profound impact on my life... From summer walks around the pond near my grandparents' house during my childhood, to hiking the marshes near my home searching for skunk cabbages in college, to my deeply profound pilgrimage to Avalon where I connected with the Red & White Springs (which had a huge impact on my spiritual practice), water has been ever present in my life...even here in the Midwestern US! Water has held me during times of joy and deep grief, in moments of embodied presence and mystical experience.   The Water element connects you with emotions, intuition, cleansing, and love.  Keywords: Fluidity, Adaptation, Emotions, Intuition, Love, Memory, Wisdom, Reflection, Healing, Release Color & Symbol: Blue Crescent Moon or Blue Inverse Triangle Season & Direction: Autumn, West Parts of the Body: Belly, Adrenals, Intestines Zodiac Signs: Cancer, Scorpio, & Pisces Tarot Suit: Cups / Chalices (representing the emotions, intuition, love, and a mirror of your heart) Planets: Moon, Venus Crystals for the Water Element: Blue Lace Agate – a cooling, water element stone Botswana Agate – reminds you to go with the flow Lake Superior Agate – connects you with the energy of the water element (the life-giving source); aids you in healing the Earth's bodies of water River Agate – helps you tap into your inner power - like a river carving through rock Amazonite – lets compassion flow like water from your heart Amethyst – connects you with the intuitive aspects of the water element Vera Cruz Amethyst – reminds you of the life-giving energy of water Aquamarine – a stone of the sea and its creatures Brown Aragonite – helps to release the fear of water Azurite – promotes mental clarity during intuitive work Aqua Calcite – facilitates a calm mind, like a pool of still water Red Coral Calcite – connects you with the energy of the water element White Calcite – offers you space for reflection Cavansite – connects you with the energy of the sea Blue Chalcedony – reminds you to shift and change according to your present circumstances (like water filling different shaped containers) Charoite – enhances water healing practices (including H.A.D.O.)

EAB is an invasive pest introduced from Asia that attacks and kills ash trees. This metallic wood boring beetlewas first found in Detroit, MI, and Ontario, Canada in 2002. It is believed to have arrived in shipping crates. Since the initial discovery, it has been identified in multiple Eastern and Midwestern US states. In Minnesota,EAB was identified in St. Paul in 2009, then in 2010, about a mile away in Minneapolis. EAB identified in 40 Minnesota counties (MN DNR); Hennepin County alone estimates having 1 million ash trees. So if your tree has a red ring around it, it is supposed to be taken down. 

Welcome everyone! Odds are that if you've taken an AFA certification exam in the past several years, somewhere within the Midwestern US, you've probably run into this gentleman. I met Ward McGuire at both of my exams and several others that I've attended, and he is everything you would want in an AFA tester - fair, really good at putting you at ease and letting you know that he's there to help you, not fail you. As someone who has recently retired, Ward has a unique view on what we should be doing earlier on in our careers to set ourselves up for this eventuality. It's always a pleasure to run into this gentleman. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

Summit Carbon Solutions intends to build the world's largest carbon capture and storage pipeline across the Midwestern US, despite fierce and sustained citizen opposition. While media coverage so far has focused on the opposition white landowners in the path of the proposed route have to the pipelines – this project represents the latest instance of environmental racism as Indigenous, Black, Brown and Migrant communities will face some of the greatest risks if this project goes through. Today's episode features several leading activists fighting against this and other proposed carbon pipelines in Iowa – Sikowis Christine Nobiss, Founder & Executive Director of Great Plains Action Society (GPAS), Mahmud Fitil, Frontlines Action Director GPAS ; Jaylen Cavil Advocacy Director for the Des Moines Black Liberation Movement; Alejandro Murgia-Ortiz Community Organizer with Iowa Migrant Movement for Justice.

We join our trio as we switch on the power and high into the atmospheric research station known as HAARP. We seek what experiments were performed to the now "shut down" installation and what the US Military was using this cutting-edge technology for... Research of the Ionosphere? Weather manipulation? Mind Control?...   (5:13) Your preceptors turn on the power and deliver some background on what HAARP is, and discuss its equipment and what it was used for, that we know of. (9:42) Fronk gives us some information about HAARPs history and who built and operated the facility. Dave mentions its shutdown and selling to the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 2015. (11:14) We go into some of the conspiracies about the facility. The boys ask the question if the military is actually using HAARP for weather modification as a weapon. (14:25) Dave introduces Dr. Bernard Eastland who is most associated with the development of the project and your trio elaborates on some points of the patent from the 80's that contradict that HAARP cannot be used for weather modification. (18:50) Mike elaborates on Dr. Eastland and some of his 53 patents throughout his career with a lot of them have to do with UV multiplication devices, high intensity discharge lamps and plenty of atmospheric sciences applications. (23:10) Dave asks the question could HAARP be responsible for earthquakes, most directly the 8.9 magnitude earthquake in 2011 in Japan, causing the Fukashima meltdown. As well as the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, The Hushmasters discuss... (31:00) A conspiracy theorist on UFOblogger.com claims the New Madrid Fault System in the Midwestern US could be the next “target” for a major earthquake event (32:02) We delve into the idea of HAARP being responsible for major hurricanes in the US in the last decade or so, some of them being; Hurricane Katrina, Sandy, Irene and others. We discuss. (35:19) We also mention the possibility that HAARP caused some of the most devastating fires in the western areas of the US like California, Oregon and Washington. The question that it was DEW (Direct Energy Weapons) that locally caused the fires. (40:17) The idea of mind control is thrown into your heads by Mystery Mike and the boys. This conspiracy believes that HAARP used shortwave radio wave to control the minds of Americans. (42:26) Dave and Mike deliver their opinions on the subject of HAARP.(45:06) Fronk's Final Thoughts   featured: The Spy Hards Podcast If you have any questions or comments about the show please contact us at:HushHushSociety@planetmail.comor via Twitter, Facebook & Instagram.

每日英語跟讀 Ep.K037: Taiwan-born astronaut chosen for Artemis lunar mission   On Dec. 10, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced the list of names of 18 astronauts who will take part in the Artemis moon-landing program. US Vice President Mike Pence, who is also chairman of the National Space Council, introduced the 18 astronauts at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The astronauts, half of whom are women, will soon commence training for the Artemis moon-landing program. 美國國家航空暨太空總署十二月十日公布「阿提米絲」登月計畫的十八名太空人名單。兼任國家太空委員會主席的美國副總統麥克·彭斯在佛羅里達州甘迺迪太空中心介紹十八名太空人，當中半數為女性。他們將為「阿提米絲」計畫展開訓練。 One of them is 47-year-old male astronaut Kjell Lindgren, who was born in Taipei on Jan. 23, 1973 to a Taiwanese mother and a Swedish father. He emigrated with his family to the Midwestern US but spent most of his childhood in the UK. After graduating from senior high school, he was admitted to the US Air Force Academy, where he majored in biology with a minor in Chinese and received a bachelor of science degree in 1995. He gained a master of science degree from Colorado State University in 1996 and a doctorate of medicine from the University of Colorado in 2002. In 2007 he received a master of public health from the University of Texas Medical Branch, where he completed his residency in aerospace medicine the following year. 其中一名四十七歲的男性太空人林其兒，於一九七三年一月二十三日出生於台北市，其母親為台灣人、父親為瑞典人，隨家人遷居美國中西部，大部分的童年時光則在英國度過。他高中畢業後考進美國空軍學院，主修生物、副修中文，一九九五年取得學士學位。一九九六年取得科羅拉多州立大學碩士學位，二○○二年又獲得科羅拉多大學醫學士學位。二○○七年取得德州大學醫學分部公共衛生碩士學位，翌年完成太空醫學住院醫師訓練。 Lindgren was chosen to be a NASA astronaut in 2009 and served as a flight surgeon for the STS-130 space shuttle mission. He joined the Expedition 44/45 mission on July 22, 2015 and stayed on the International Space Station for 141 days before returning to Earth on Dec. 11 of the same year. He is the first astronaut to have been born in Taiwan. 林其兒在二○○九年入選為太空總署太空人，曾任「STS-130」太空梭任務航空軍醫；二○一五年七月二十二日，參與遠征「44/45」任務，在國際太空站待了一百四十一天，同年十二月十一日回到地球，是史上首位在台灣出生的太空人。 Two other NASA astronauts with connections to Taiwan are Taylor Wang and Leroy Chiao. 與台灣相關的太空總署太空人還有王贛駿與焦立中。 Wang was born in Jiangxi Province, China in 1940. In 1952 he moved with his parents to Taiwan, where he attended the Refresher Substitute Elementary School (today's Jhong-Jheng Elementary School), followed by senior high school studies at the Affiliated Senior High School of National Taiwan Normal University in Taipei, after which he moved to Hong Kong. He completed a seven-day space flight on the Challenger space shuttle from April 29 to May 6, 1985. 王贛駿一九四○年出生於中國江西省，一九五二年隨父母到台灣，在高雄讀進修代用國小（今中正國小），高中就讀於台北師大附中，後移居香港。他一九八五年四月二十九日至五月六日乘坐挑戰者號太空梭進行了為期七天的太空飛行。 Chiao is a Chinese American engineer and former astronaut. While working for NASA, he lived on board the International Space Station for six months. His father, Chiao Tsu-tao, was born in Shandong Province, China and graduated from the Affiliated Senior High School of National Taiwan Normal University and Cheng Kung University's Department of Chemical Engineering. His mother, Cherry Chiao, was born in Qingdao City in Shandong. They married in Taiwan and moved to the US in the 1950s, and Leroy was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 焦立中為美籍華裔工程師、前太空人，於太空總署服役期間曾駐守國際太空站六個月，他的父親焦祖韜博士出生在中國山東省，畢業於台灣師大附中、成功大學化工系；其母朱青筠博士出生於山東青島市，兩人在台灣結婚，一九五○年代移居美國，在美國威斯康辛州密爾沃基市生下焦立中。 Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2020/12/29/2003749543 每日英語跟讀Podcast，就在http://www.15mins.today/daily-shadowing 每週Vocab精選詞彙Podcast，就在https://www.15mins.today/vocab 每週In-TENSE文法練習Podcast，就在https://www.15mins.today/in-tense     用email訂閱就可以收到通勤學英語節目更新通知。

Midwestern states such as "Missouri, Montana and Oklahoma are among those witnessing the largest percentage surge of infections over the past week, while, adjusted for population, the number of new cases in Florida, Mississippi and Alabama still outpaced all other states," the Washington Post reported Monday. How do we interpret this data, as we are now in August, and we were told early in the process that cases would drop in the summer like the flu?It's starting already. A Tuesday headline from the Washington Post read: "Michigan ballots tangled in mail delays in advance of Tuesday primary." The article noted, "Mail problems marred the delivery of absentee ballots in Michigan in the run-up to Tuesday's primary in the state, testing election administrators and ramping up fears of political pressure on the US Postal Service just three months before November 3. Across the state, where polls opened Tuesday at 7 a.m., some voters reported not receiving their absentee ballots." What are we to make of this?"Demonstrators who gathered again Sunday outside the home of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti called on the city to cancel rents for people finding it hard to make ends meet as the coronavirus pandemic ravages California's economy," the Associated Press reported Sunday. Meanwhile, a July 30 headline at NOLA.com read: "Under 'evictions = death' sign, protesters block entrances to New Orleans courthouse." What's next?"Tens of thousands of supporters of President Alexander Lukashenko's top election rival on Thursday rallied in the Belarusian capital Minsk despite an increasing crackdown on the opposition," AFP reported last week. What signal does this send in the region? "The United States continues to grapple with the reckoning spurred by George Floyd's death in Minneapolis, as Congress investigates how the Department of Homeland Security [DHS] tracked journalists and protesters amid unrest in Portland, Oregon," the Washington Post reported Tuesday. Last week we discussed the Post's report that DHS' Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) had compiled and distributed “intelligence reports” on journalists and protesters in Portland. Now the House Intelligence Committee is opening an investigation and demanding answers from DHS. What are we to make of this? "The Census Bureau announced late Monday that door-knocking and other field activities for the 2020 Census will cease a month earlier than planned," the Washington Post reported Monday. "The agency had given indications last week that field activities would cease September 30 instead of October 31, to submit the population count to the president by December 31." The census is a process mandated in the Constitution. How concerned should we be about this issue? On Tuesday, retired US Army Major Danny Sjursen, author of "Patriotic Dissent: America in the Age of Endless War," published an op-ed at AntiWar.com entitled “I Was Wrong: Congress Isn't Cowardly; It's Evil!" The subheading read: "Blocking withdrawal from a hopeless Afghan War opposed even by its veterans, counts as criminally heinous – and par for the congressional course." Our next guest will discuss neo-Nazis in Ukraine, their history and their political influence. "Nationalism has always been a feature across Europe's political spectrum but there has been a recent boom in voter support for right-wing and populist parties," the BBC reported in November 2019. Jareth Copus, author of "Ukraine: Forever a Pawn," joins the show to discuss this phenomenon.

See all the Healthcast at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog/ Physical Signs of Hypothyroidism:  What a doctor or YOU can see or feel on your body: Low Pulse and Low Blood pressure Basal Body Temperature below 98 (your oral temperature taken before you get out of bed in the morning). No sweating when you exercise or are in hot weather Swelling all over the body Brittle nails Loss of, or thinning body hair Hair problems: poor quality brittle hair, thinning all over the head, slow hair growth and constant shedding Weight Gain when you eat normally Swelling, and puffiness around the eyes Distended and bloated abdomen Goiter or swelling in the neck Extremely dry skin, may look like cobblestones Loss of the lateral Eyebrows (the outer third of the eyebrows) Heart arrythmias and palpitations Cold hands and feet If you have 3 or more of these signs you should be evaluated for hypothyroidism. There are high risk factors that should alert you and your doctor that you are high risk to get Hypothyroidism: Being female Aging over 50 Living in the Midwest Family history of Hypothyroidism Family history of Hyperthyroidism, Graves Disease and Hashimotos Thyroiditis. Allergy to Iodine Poor diet, lack of vitamin A, vitamin D, Lack of Iodine and Zinc. Diagnosed with an autoimmune disease already Diagnosed with Depression Drink fluorinated water  If the patient is a woman, she is eight times more likely to have hypothyroidism than a man, and if she lives in the northern Midwestern US, the Goiter Belt, she has a very high risk of the hypothyroid epidemic that affects most women in that area. This high rate is the result of a lack of iodine in the ground and water sourced in the Midwest that causes hypothyroidism. Overall, hypothyroidism causes the human metabolism to slow to a standstill. And slow the production of energy in the cells, and store that energy as fat. Low thyroid slows growth hormone, which thins the hair and makes it frizzy and fall out in large amounts. Thyroid hormone is meant to keep the body temperature between 98 and 98.6 by stoking the metabolic fire and keeping the body warm enough for enzymes to work, and cells to work as well. We are “warm blooded” for a reason and “warmth” is accomplished by thyroid hormones effect on each cell in our body.   When we have hypothyroidism from inability to  secrete enough thyroid hormone, or if we aren't given enough thyroid replacement our body's enzymes and chemical reactions slow down and stop, causing us to gain weight, feel fatigues and sick. Thyroid is the thermostat and our cells including muscles and other organs make energy out of our food. Thyroid hormones also stimulate the intestines to work  and absorb the food that gives us energy.  Without thyroid our intestines come to a standstill and we are constipated!  I contend that the great number of drugs on the market to help constipation would be unnecessary, if every person had enough thyroid hormone and iodine to make their gut work! Fatigue can take many shapes, but hypothyroidism causes a patient to have the  feeling of exhaustion that stems from malfunction of the smallest cells throughout the body that cannot turn blood sugar into energy.  Lake of thyroid makes organs made of those cells slow down to a virtual stop.  It is in that way that the effect of inadequate  thyroid hormone on the cellular level, makes the whole mechanism of the human body slow to a virtual stop, and we “feel” exhausted.  This is terrible for the human body and we cannot live well  without adequate thyroid hormone. Depressed mood is a very common diagnosis in the US ad often the depressed mood comes from low levels of thyroid, testosterone and or estrogen (in women).  Anti-depressants don't generally completely cure depression in these cases because anti-depressants don't fix low thyroid. Inability to think and concentrate is common in 39% of patients with untreated hypothyroidism.  Before worrying about having a degenerative disease or “getting old” get your thyroid checked and replace the thyroid with an appropriate amount of thyroid hormone. I have treated many infertile patients with thyroid replacement  in my GYN practice for the first 29 years of my medical practice, and it was unbelievably effective!   Normal thyroid is necessary to get pregnant, and infertility doctors rarely look at this very common cause of infertility, when it is very common. The Bottom Line:   If you have 3 or more of the symptoms described above then have your thyroid checked with at least 5 different tests: Free T4, Free T3, TSH, and reverse T 3.  If your Free T4 is less than 1.0, your free T3 is less than or equal to 3,0 and your reverse T3 is greater than 20 then you probably have hypothyroidism. You should first take Iodoral 12.5 mg per day with a pinch of salt and find a doctor who will replace your thyroid and listen to your symptoms.  Once you are treated then you should find a doctor to increase your dose to the point where all of your symptoms are gone, your lab tests are normal and your basal body temperature is 97.9 degrees F, or greater. Type of Thyroid Replacement Medication: Women do much better with a combination of T3 + T4 thyroid replacement called porcine thyroid, or Armour Thyroid, Naturethroid, or WP thyroid.  Men are fine on the synthetic thyroid, Synthroid, or levothyroxine  most of the time Post replacement thyroid testing: After replacement with thyroid, your blood tests should be drawn, on an empty stomach before you take your morning thyroid,  and your TSH should be 1.0 or less, your free T3 should be 3.0 or more, and your Free T4 should be 1-2.0.  If it is lower,  you need more thyroid hormone or a different kind. Dosage Adjustments of Thyroid hormone replacement changes: In winter your need an increase in your dose to keep your warm!  The dosage should decrease when the weather gets warm.  Altitude requires more thyroid hormone replacement, so an increase in dose when you are in the mountains during any season. Supplements that assist your body in metabolizing thyroid hormone: Iodoral: 12.5 mg per am with food and a pinch of salt Magnesium Glycinate 200-400 mg per day to prevent palpitations Vitamin A 20,000 iu/day Vitamin C 500-1000/day Vitamin D 2000-5,000/day Vitamin E 400 mg/day Goal of Therapy: I think that symptoms are the most reliable measure of how adequate your thyroid dose is.  If your symptoms are gone and you have no side effects like anxiety or palpitations, then your dose should not be lowered.  Lack of symptoms is a sign of success, not a reason to decrease your dose and make you sick again!

What does the future hold for the Midwest? A vast stretch of fertile farmland bordering one of the largest concentrations of fresh water in the world, the Midwestern US seems ideally situated for the coming challenges of climate change. But it also sits at the epicenter of a massive economic collapse that many of its citizens are still struggling to overcome. The question of what the Midwest is (and what it will become) is nothing new. As Phil Christman writes in Midwest Futures (Belt Publishing, 2020), ambiguity might be the region's defining characteristic. Taking a cue from Jefferson’s grid, the famous rectangular survey of the Old Northwest Territory that turned everything from Ohio to Wisconsin into square-mile lots, Christman breaks his exploration of Midwestern identity, past and present, into 36 brief, interconnected essays.

What does the future hold for the Midwest? A vast stretch of fertile farmland bordering one of the largest concentrations of fresh water in the world, the Midwestern US seems ideally situated for the coming challenges of climate change. But it also sits at the epicenter of a massive economic collapse that many of its citizens are still struggling to overcome. The question of what the Midwest is (and what it will become) is nothing new. As Phil Christman writes in Midwest Futures (Belt Publishing, 2020), ambiguity might be the region's defining characteristic. Taking a cue from Jefferson’s grid, the famous rectangular survey of the Old Northwest Territory that turned everything from Ohio to Wisconsin into square-mile lots, Christman breaks his exploration of Midwestern identity, past and present, into 36 brief, interconnected essays. The result is a sometimes sardonic, often uproarious, and consistently thought-provoking look at a misunderstood place and the people who call it home.

Haathi Cloth: Hacking the World of Indian Weddings Are you familiar with India?   If not… well… this really isn’t the podcast for you   Here are some things you may or may not be familiar with   There are over 31 Million Non Resident Indians or Persons of Indian Origin living outside of India across the world. Over 7 Million NRIs or PIOs live in the USA, the UK and the Canada.   The Indian wedding market is estimated at $50 billion making it the world’s second-largest, after the $70 billion US market and it is growing at an estimated rate of 20% year over year.   Some would say… the traditional clothing one wears to an Indian wedding, while spectacular… is not that comfortable.   The a Southeast Asian engineer from the Midwestern US met an Indian Entreprenuer from Austin Texas… it was time for a change.   This week on Insecurity, Matt Stephenson sits down with the founders of Haathi Cloth for a discussion about Kurtas and pyjamas. What in the world does this have to do with cybersecurity and technology? Have you ever been in a data center where the pressure is on and it’s hot… like… really hot?

He is currently involved as founder of 3 different companies: Haathi Cloth, Persource and Evolve Energy.

As US President Donald Trump was arranging a trade truce with President Xi Jinping of China in Buenos Aires over dinner on Saturday night, his administration was coordinating the arrest of a top Chinese technology executive who was flying through Canada. The arrest of Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei and daughter of its billionaire founder, is a serious if not gangster move by the Trump administration. What does this mean, and how does it bode for the future? The NY Times writes, “The detention is a boon to administration officials trying to limit the global spread of Chinese technology, especially equipment that poses security risks, and to enforce sanctions with Iran. But the move threatens to upend sensitive talks to resolve a trade war between the world's two largest economies.” The Asia Times writes, “The fallout from the decision has rocked mainland markets and threatened the trade war truce between Washington and Beijing.” What's going on here?US lawmakers have brought General Motors CEO Mary Barra to Capitol Hill for a series of private meetings this week as the company comes under fire after announcing up to 14,000 job cuts. Barra isn't publicly testifying this week. She's meeting behind closed doors with several lawmakers representing regions that will be hit hard by the cuts. What's really behind these discussions? Meanwhile, trade conflicts have cost Nebraska's economy more than $1 billion. The Nebraska Farm Bureau says the state's farmers have lost upward of a billion dollars in revenue from ongoing trade conflicts, according to a new report. Are these losses limited to the agriculture sector in the Midwestern US, or is this the tip of the iceberg? Are we looking at farmers losing farms if this trade war continues? It's one thing to retool a factory. For example, with GM talking about closing plants in Ohio and Michigan and the discussion with Barra, you can re-tool and retrain plant workers, but what do you do with displaced farmers across the Midwest of the US?As a result of the midterm elections, some more progressive voices are on their way to Congress. Congresswoman-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez joined 150 youth activists in a sit-in recently at House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's Capitol Hill office, where the group called for congressional action on climate change. What's behind this effort, and will climate change become a rallying cry or galvanizing force across politically active groups? There's a piece in The Atlantic entitled, "The Democratic Party Wants to Make Climate Policy Exciting: After years of infighting, the Democrats may finally have found an environmental consensus in the Green New Deal." Speaking at a town hall led by Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez framed her chosen climate policy—the Green New Deal—through the lens of gallant American exceptionalism. “This is going to be the New Deal, the Great Society, the moon shot, the Civil Rights movement of our generation,” she said. What is the Green New Deal? GUESTS: Dr. Gerald Horne — Professor of history at the University of Houston and author of many books, including Blows Against the Empire: US Imperialism in Crisis.Dr. Jack Rasmus — Professor of economics at Saint Mary's College of California and author of Central Bankers at the End of Their Ropes: Monetary Policy and the Coming Depression, who also writes at jackrasmus.com.Gloria Mattera — Co-chair of Green Party USA.

Coming to the Green Party through the Ralph Nader campaign, Gloria has been involved in building a left, political independent movement since the mid '90s as a leader in the Labor Party New York Metro Chapter.

Sorry for the slight delay in uploading this episode, as I am editing several new recordings.   Hopefully, there will not be any additional delays.  Onward! Our focus for Episode 21 is Missouri, which has a very long history and pedigree of winemaking here in the United States.  It also has one of the largest viticultural industries in the Midwestern US, with roughly 1,600 acres under vine and 134 wineries, producing approximately 971,031 gallons of wine.  Missouri is also home to the oldest AVA in the United States, the Augusta AVA, which gained its federal status on June 20, 1980--eight months before Napa Valley.  The state of Missouri also has the Herrmann AVA, and the Ozark Highlands AVA.  All three of these AVAs are enclosed within the greater Ozark Mountain American Viticultural Area, which is actually the sixth largest American Viticultural Area in total size, covering 3,520,000 acres. In short, wine in Missouri is big business and is one of the few states outside of California to actively focus on marketing its wines to the public and for tourism.  While perhaps leading the market in terms of vintages produced by the Norton Grape, Missouri is also the home of a lot of viticultural experimentation, which eventually lead to the bottle Tiffany Poth (the Wine Hippie) and I drink in this podcast: the 2015 Crimson Cabernet from Lachance vineyards in DeSoto, Missouri.  (Possibly within the Augusta AVA, though my geography of American Viticultural Areas in the Midwest is lacking) Crimson Cabernet is a new varietal; a hybrid cross between Norton (Vitus aestivalis*) and Cabernet Sauvignon (Vitus vinifera) that seems to be taking the Midwestern United States by storm.  I had never even heard of this varietal before Tiffany brought this bottle to me to drink, so this was a fun wine to try.  (This cross between Norton and Cabernet Sauvignon also produced a white grape, Cabernet Dore, which may be the focus of a future podcast, or maybe bonus episode once I create a Patreon for this podcast.) *Probably.  As we talked about a bit in our first episode, the genetic origins of Norton are a bit mysterious. As mentioned above, my friend and fellow wine geek, Tiffany Poth, brought this bottle for me after acquiring it directly from La Chance vineyard.  Next episode, Gary returns and we get some sun.

For over 15 years, Nic Hahn has worked with students of all ages in various schools and districts around the Midwestern US-- and if there’s one thing she’s discovered, it’s the importance of community in teaching art.  She started a blog called Mini Matisse in 2010 to connect parents to the art projects that were coming home in the hands of their children, but the online connection was just the beginning.  Her quest to bring people with interest and experience with students thirsty to try new forms of art has sparked local, nationwide, and international interest and participation-- demonstrating that the invitation to create is universal and that we all have a lot to learn from one another. Show Highlights: What prompted Nic to create her blog, Mini Matisse How often she creates blog posts, and what her philosophy on blogging is like The ways blogging has impacted Nic’s teaching Nic shares her favorite community art projects, and why they’re important Ways to proactively manage emotionally challenging art lessons with students Tips for engaging families and volunteers in art class support How to find and support classroom volunteers Unexpected benefits of having volunteers come in to support students Tips and advice for teachers starting a community-driven art learning program Nic explains what an Artist’s Trading Card is How Nic’s classrooms began trading art with schoolchildren in Japan Nic shares her artistic inspirations Why Nic named her daughter Matisse   Links Mentioned in the Show:   Community Project from Mini-Matisse Bit-O-Bios on Teachers Pay Teachers Artist Trading Card Project on Mini-Matisse Lisa Congdon Art Project on Mini-Matisse Mini Matisse Instagram - @minimatisseart Twitter - @minimatisse RSVP

This could be the end of the family as we know it -- we're giving people direct access to our children that we would never let past our front door. Also: Disturbing new disease outbreaks in Africa and the Midwestern US, and biohackers are literally experimenting on themselves trying to find "upgrades" for the human body.

Change is challenging for anyone, but relocating from one side of the country to another is a lot of change, and to move from the traditional culture of India to America is especially significant.  As we wrap up our series of shows on journeys, we have a discussion with someone who made this physical and emotional journey, and find out what lessons came along with this significant life shift. Sharadha Natraj was born in Calcutta, India. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree in German from Bombay University, with the intention of becoming a translator for technical documents in German and Japanese. Her plans abruptly changed when she moved to the Midwestern US in 1985, shortly after her wedding.  Once in the US, Shardha received a graduate degree in Library Studies from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. She has been a librarian since 1988, and has worked in research and public libraries, notably the Holocaust Memorial Center Library in West Bloomfield, Michigan and the Wauwatosa Public Library. She currently works at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee School of Architecture and Urban Planning, where she is the Director of the Resource Center, provides guidance to students with research and job searches, and is the Executive Assistant to the Dean. Sharadha loves to cook, bake, read, connect with her two adult sons, and spend time with friends.

The heat in the Midwestern US is brutal, but heat in the blues is always welcome. The 385th Roadhouse is full of hot tracks with a nice cool acoustic break in the middle. Zac Harmon, Warren Haynes, Omar & The Howlers, Suzie Vinnick, and Sonny Landreth keep the air moving in another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.

A midget street thug on a kiddy bike. Incompetent thieves who resort to stealing air-conditioning units. A woman too drunk to notice a police car heading towards her with all lights flashing. These are just some of the criminals and junkies, the faithful and forlorn encountered by one police officer cruising the streets of one Midwestern US city. But this policeman has an eye for the weird, an overdeveloped sense of humour and a talent for narrative. Which is why Officer Jay Chiarito-Mazarrella created a cult following for his “Street Story” podcasts, vivid vignettes of his work for the Tulsa Police Department. In “24 Hours in Tulsa,” we hear the best of the Street Stories, giving us a fresh, funny and sometimes downright scary insight into policing from the horse's mouth.

The Little Blue House on the Wetlands moves officially into spring this week, and the music in this edition reflects the volatility of spring in the Midwestern US.

A frigid winter blast sets in on the Midwestern US, but the 53rd Roadhouse Podcast will help generate enough body heat to keep you warm. Omar and The Howlers, Rory Block, Erskine Oglesby, Ruthie Foster, and Mike Anderson easily outpace the overworked Roadhouse furnace. Six other artists keep the fire going alongside a hot Roadhouse Rewound segment, some very warm listener comments and the addition of yet another outstanding blues label to the cookin' Roadhouse roster. It may be cold outside, but the 53rd Roadhouse Podcast turns out to be hotter than a French Quarter Jambalaya. It's yet another hour of the finest blues you've never heard.
