Cine a finanțat PSD în anul electoral 2024 (G4Media) - Armata Paralelă Română – De la mercenarul Horațiu Potra, la generalii în rezervă care susțin mișcări legionare (Europa Liberă) - Un tânăr din AUR recrutează neonaziști din rândul grupării „Unitatea 731”. Cum comentează declarațiile pro-evreiești făcute de George Simion: „Doar nu vrei să zică în public că trebuie gazați” (PressOne) - Dacă o mai ţin mult cu incertitudinea politică şi fiscală – cresc sau nu taxele, politicienii chiar riscă să trimită economia şi businessul în criză (ZF) Cazul de studiu Bolojan, despre autoamăgire și alegeri (SpotMedia)Cazul Bolojan, ieri înger, azi demon pentru o parte a electoratului care nu îi iartă exprimarea opțiunii de vot și demolarea argumentată a iluziei că va deveni premierul minune, poate fi, atunci când ne vom mai răcori după alegeri, unul de studiu despre capacitatea de autoamăgire, despre dublă măsură și slaba cunoaștere a mecanismelor politice constituționale, scrie jurnalista Ioana Ene Dogioiu.Președintele interimar Ilie Bolojan și-a exprimat opțiunea de vot pentru un candidat. Candidatul pe care l-a propus oficial coaliției de guvernare, candidatul al cărui nume apare în protocolul de funcționare a coaliției formată după alegeri semnat de președintele PNL Ilie Bolojan.Susținătorii acum dezamăgiți ai domniei sale erau convinși că dl Bolojan a mințit când a semnat. Asta așteptau de la el, să mintă, să semnalizeze dreapta și să o ia la stânga, să fie că restul oamenilor politici, dar într-un interes convenabil.Avea dreptul să facă declarații de susținere a unui candidat? Da, a stabilit CCR în 2014, când Traian Băsescu îi făcea campanie Elenei Udrea. Cel care l-a reclamat, într-un conflict de natură constituțională, a fost premierul de atunci Victor Ponta.De fapt, obiecția dezamăgiților nu este de natură constituțională, ci exclusiv de conținut al opțiunii anunțate. Integral, pe pagina SpotMedia.Cine a finanțat PSD în anul electoral 2024 / Milioane de lei pe filierele Nuba și Mihaela Neagu ”regina licitațiilor”/ Patronii FCSB și CFR Cluj / Fiul adoptiv al unui interlop din Vâlcea, cununat de Ponta / Un maseur care, întrebat de unde a avut banii, a spus: ”Din masaje erotice”   (G4Media)Surprize mari pe lista persoanelor fizice și juridice care au finanțat PSD în 2024, an cu patru rânduri de alegeri – locale, europarlamentare, parlamentare și prezidențiale. Lista a fost publicată în Monitorul Oficial, anunță G4Media.Printre cei care au donat sau au împrumutat sume consistente social-democraților se află patronii echipelor de fotbal FCSB și CFR Cluj, un maseur care a justificat de unde a avut cei 650.000 de lei prin faptul că face masaje erotice, mai mulți oameni de afaceri controversați, unul fiind implicat în dosarul penal al fostului șef SRI, Florian Coldea, unul dintre patronii Clubului Nuba și apropiați ai săi sau un fin al lui Victor Ponta, care este fiul adoptiv al unui fost lider al lumii interlope din Vâlcea.De menționat că toți cei care au împrumutat PSD – iar sumele nu sunt deloc mici, variind între câteva sute de mii și milioane de lei – au făcut un  serviciu acestui partid: banii le-au fost returnați din bugetul de stat deoarece social-democrații au atins un anumit procent de voturi; în mare parte, PSD și-a făcut cele patru campanii electorale ”pe datorie”, dar fără a plăti dobândă pentru zecile de milioane de lei împrumutate.În plus, partidul condus de Marcel Ciolacu nu a fost nevoit să apeleze la sumele pe care le-a primit, în mod tradițional, de la bugetul de stat pentru servicii de propagandă.Armata Paralelă Română – De la mercenarul Horațiu Potra, la generalii în rezervă care susțin mișcări legionare (Europa Liberă)Pentru prima dată de la Mineriada din 1991, alegerile prezidențiale din decembrie 2024 au ridicat problema fragilității ordinii constituționale. Anchetele judiciare de după anularea alegerilor au devoalat un păienjeniș de rețele – cu multe legături în armată – care vor schimbarea democrației.„Este mult spus armată paralelă”, afirmă istoricul Cosmin Popa, specialist în istoria perioadei comuniste și în spațiul ex-sovietic.„Nu suntem într-un scenariu de tip America Latină, nu e vorba de lovituri de stat. Dar da, avem o problemă de fond. În România nu există un consens solid în jurul valorilor democratice și asta se vede și în armată”, adaugă el.„O parte semnificativă a corpului militar în retragere – și, uneori, chiar și în activitate – nu este pe deplin fidelă valorilor constituționale. Când un fost ofițer spune că «politicienii trădează țara», că «UE ne-a colonizat», că «trebuie să salvăm țara din interior», acelea nu sunt simple opinii, sunt formule retorice care pot alimenta forme de radicalizare”, mai explică Popa pentru Europa Liberă.Istoricul e de părere că foștii militari care apar în aceste grupuri sau în spațiul public cu discursuri radicale sunt oameni care simt că au fost nedreptățiți, că nu li s-a recunoscut contribuția sau că au fost marginalizați. El e de părere că toate ideile vehiculate în afara cadrului militar oficial își găsesc ecou în mulți dintre cei care poartă haina militară.Un tânăr din AUR recrutează neonaziști din rândul grupării „Unitatea 731”. Cum comentează declarațiile pro-evreiești făcute de George Simion: „Doar nu vrei să zică în public că trebuie gazați” (PressOne)În timpul documentării despre Unitatea 731, grupare neonazistă care acționează în România și Republica Moldova, PressOne descoperă un schimb de replici între membrii organizației și Vlad Petre, un tânăr din AUR Sector 5.La jumătatea lunii februarie, Petre este adăugat într-un grup privat al Unității și propune o colaborare între membrii săi din București și organizația de tineret a partidului AUR.Propunerea primește reacții mixte: câțiva neonaziști o văd ca pe o oportunitate de mascare a acțiunilor violente întreprinse de Unitate, alții o resping pentru că, susțin ei, George Simion e prea prietenos cu romii și evreii. Vlad Petre spune că a fost dat afară din partid încă de acum câteva săptămâni. Șeful tineretului din Sectorul 5 susține că băiatul n-a fost niciodată membru al partidului. Ulterior, președintele organizației de tineret, Răzvan Biro, avea să ne comunice că Petre a fost dat afară „în perspectiva informațiilor prezentate” de PressOne. Nu e cazul să daţi foc la valiză, când valiza este plină cu bani: Dacă o mai ţin mult cu incertitudinea politică şi fiscală – cresc sau nu taxele, politicienii chiar riscă să trimită economia şi businessul în criză (Ziarul Financiar)Toţi antreprenorii, toţi directorii, toate companiile, că sunt româneşti, multinaţionale sau că sunt de stat, vor să se termine odată cu alegerile politice – alegerile prezidenţiale şi cu situaţia neclară în privinţa taxelor şi impozitelor – dacă cresc, ce creşte şi cu cât, scrie în ziarul de business jurnalistul Cristian Hostiuc.Incertitudinea politică va plana în continuare, pentru că rezultatul alegerilor prezidenţiale este în ceaţă. Dacă la Cotroceni va veni George Simion sau Victor Ponta, vor forţa o nouă alianţă politică şi un nou guvern, asta dacă pot face acest lucru. Dacă la Cotroceni vine Crin Antonescu sau Nicuşor Dan, alianţa actuală PSD/PNL/UDMR şi guvernul Ciolacu 2 au o şansă să continue. Economia şi-a încetinit creşterea, iar execuţia bugetară la trei luni a guvernului Ciolacu 2 nu arată atât de strălucit în îndeplinirea obiectivului de reducere a deficitului bugetar de la peste 9% anul trecut (ESA) la 7%. Dar situaţia bugetară nu este dezastruoasă, mai ales că Ministerul Finanţelor a reuşit să acopere peste 30% din necesarul de finanţare bugetară pentru acest an. România plăteşte dobânzi mai mari, dar pieţele financiare nu sunt închise pentru obţinerea acestor împrumuturi. Pe larg, în ZF.

V Slovenski kinoteki še do 6. maja poteka prva pregledna retrospektiva filmov Maje Weiss, prve slovenske režiserke, ki je posnela celovečerni film (to je bil leta 2002 Varuh meje). Maja Weiss je poleg fantastične romantike igranih del, kot so zapisali v Kinoteki, tudi najplodovitejša slovenska dokumentaristka; njeno delo zaznamujeta neomajna etična drža in pozorno obravnavanje žgočih in obrobnih družbenih tem. Na primer v dokumentarcih, kot so Judje na Slovenskem, Kam je izginil delavski razred?, Odkrivanje Skritega spomina Angele Vode, Banditenkinder: slovenskemu narodu ukradeni otroci in Zajeti v izviru – Slovenski otroci Lebensborna, Cesta bratstva in enotnosti. Pa treh filmih, ki se osredotočajo na Sudan in jih je posnela skupaj s Tomom Križnarjem: Nuba, čisti ljudje Dar Fur, vojna za vodo ter Oči in ušesa Boga. Retrospektivo, ki so jo pripravili tudi v sodelovanju s Festivalom dokumentarnega filma in s katero v Kinoteki skušajo prikazati razvoj avtorskega izraza ustvarjalke, ki čez dva dni praznuje šestdesetletnico, so pospremili tudi z razstavo. Pred naš mikrofon pa je Majo Weiss, eno najuspešnejših in cenjenih slovenskih filmskih režiserk, povabila Tina Poglajen.

En su tradicional mensaje navideño y bendición “Urbi et Orbi” el Papa Francisco no solo pidió el fin de la guerra en Gaza o de la invasión de Rusia a Ucrania. El sumo pontífice también se acordaba de los demás conflictos armados que golpean a diferentes regiones del mundo como Sudán.  Francisco mencionó las guerras que se viven en República Democrática del Congo, las tensiones en la península coreana, en Siria, en Sudan del Sur y Sudán, donde cerca de dos millones de desplazados han huido en los últimos días de la ciudad de Wad Medani donde se habían refugiado tras abandonar en los años precedentes la capital del país, Jartum.Fue precisamente en este país, y más concretamente en la única ciudad controlada por el ejército regular, Port Sudán, donde el Padre español Jorge Naranjo pudo celebrar la vigilia navideña junto a miles de desplazados que se cuestionan aún más sobre un futuro muy incierto.“Este lunes por la mañana teníamos miles de personas, porque no solamente los habitantes situados en Port Sudán, hay gente que ha llegado o las primeras olas de desplazados desde la capital, desde Jartum, al inicio de la guerra o en esta última ola de desplazados desde Medani. Estamos aquí trabajando con la gente en Port Sudán, pero efectivamente, con el deseo de poder volver a los lugares que hemos dejado”, afirma a RFI el padre Naranjo.Desde Medani, la comunidad católica considera importante que el Papa se haya acordado del conflicto que sufren.“En todo conflicto y de modo particular en el sudanés, juegan factores políticos externos ajenos al país. Y es importante que ningún conflicto quede en el olvido y que la comunidad internacional pueda también presionar sobre los que tienen la capacidad de parar el tráfico de armas y otro tipo de dinámicas que no ayudan a que haya paz”, pide el sacerdote.La mayor parte de la población sudanesa, el 99%, es creyente y a pesar de que la Constitución señala que Sudán es un país “multirreligioso”, en la práctica el gobierno trata al islam como a la religión del Estado con un 71% de personas que lo profesa. Los católicos representan solo el 8,27% de la población.“La mayor parte de los católicos son o de origen sursudanés o de los montes Nuba, los que son de origen sursudanés, muchos de ellos han buscado refugio en Sudán del Sur, mientras que los católicos de origen Nuba normalmente se quedan aquí en Sudán, en ciudades más seguras”, aclara el padre Naranjo, quien recuerda que el conflicto en Sudán ha provocado seis millones de desplazados, “en términos cuantitativos es el primer conflicto en el mundo y no el último”, concluye el religioso.

"Every one of us has his or her personal mountain to climb. It might not be Everest or it might not be a physical mountain. Yours might be in the boardroom, on a bicycle, in your family, at school... There's always something we need to achieve. Something big, something difficult and something meaningful... And when you get there, remember to be thankful and reach down and pull someone else up with you."Africa has its fair share of mountains ranges – the Rwenzoris, the Drakensburgs, The Atlas mountains, the Nuba, Mt Kenya, and of course Mt. Kilimanjaro. They all form a nice backdrop, but very few look at them and say: “I'm going to go and climb that mountain!” Those who do lace up their hiking boots and set out to conquer those mountains are a special group – the mountaineer extra-ordinaries. But one woman is in a league of her own. Saray Khumalo has done all there's to do with African mountains and once that was done and dusted, she turned her gaze to Mt. Everest, the tallest mountain on earth at 8,849m. But that wasn't enough. She recently travelled to the South Pole, and she's now planning her trip in the opposite direction – the North Pole. Presenter: Victoria Uwonkunda Guest: Saray Khumalo

In terms of individual lives saved, you could argue that there is no other person on the front lines doing more than Tom. Additionally, we explore the manner in which the Nuba people die, which is in striking contrast to the ubiquity of chronic disease and self-harm in the West, despite the extreme poverty and unimaginable suffering experienced by the Nuba people. Lastly, we discuss the lessons to be gleaned from the Nuba people, who, despite their suffering, live so harmoniously, happily, and resiliently. We discuss: Background, medical training, and early days of missionary work in Africa [5:15]; Tom arrives at Mother of Mercy Hospital in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan, civil war breaks out, and his staff evacuates [12:30]; Learning surgery on the job and earning the trust of the community [37:00]; The amazing people of Nuba, and why Nuba feels like home to Tom [47:45]; NY Times article about Tom's work, and Tom's new venture on the board of the Aurora Prize Foundation, raising awareness and funds for other missionaries [59:45]; Tom's mind-blowing ability to deal with chaos while seeing hundreds of patients per day [1:12:00]; The most afraid Tom has ever been, and how he copes with the emotional trauma of his daily experiences [1:19:45]; The basic tools, technologies, and medicines that Tom is lacking that could save many lives [1:30:00]; The logistical challenge of helping Tom's hospital, and what Tom really needs [1:35:15]; Diseases in the adult population [1:38:30]; Living without possessions, finding meaning, and being a missionary [1:55:45]; Happiness, sense of purpose, and suicide: contrasting the US with Nuba [2:07:15]; Other than donations, is there a way people can help Tom and other similar causes? [2:15:15]; The food in Nuba [2:18:30]; Tom's annual bout of malaria [2:23:45]; Patients Tom will never forget [2:26:00]; Resources for people wanting to get involved in helping Tom's work [2:31:00]; Peter tells a story that defines Tom [2:32:00]; and More.

On this episode of Red Carpet, we take a look inside Ghana's Chale Wote festival, a Sudanese band spreads musical message after fleeing from war, and we speak to the filmmakers behind the documentary film “Free Money.”

Los viajes de lujo y/o los exclusivos, necesitan de un briefing como en la Publicidad, para saber qué es lo que le gusta al cliente y también lo que no le gusta y para poder afinar al máximo, en la organización de esa experiencia que el viajero quiere vivir. Y para hablar de este tipo de viajes, charlamos con Katherine Grajales, que es la Directora de NUBA en Valencia.

Programa "enComunicación" - 12 septiembre 2023

Elaborating the history, variety, pervasiveness, and function of the adornments and ornaments with which we beautify ourselves, Stephen Davies's Adornment: What Self-Decoration Tells Us About Who We Are (Bloomsbury, 2020) takes in human prehistory, ancient civilizations, hunter-foragers, and present-day industrial societies to tell a captivating story of hair, skin, and make-up practices across times and cultures. From the decline of the hat, the function of jewelry and popularity of tattooing to the wealth of grave goods found in the Upper Paleolithic burials and body painting of the Nuba, we see that there is no one who does not adorn themselves, their possessions, or their environment. But what messages do these adornments send? Drawing on aesthetics, evolutionary history, archaeology, ethology, anthropology, psychology, cultural history, and gender studies, Stephen Davies brings together African, Australian and North and South American indigenous cultures and unites them around the theme of adornment. He shows us that adorning is one of the few social behaviors that is close to being genuinely universal, more typical and extensive than the high-minded activities we prefer to think of as marking our species - religion, morality, and art. Each chapter shows how modes of decoration send vitally important signals about what we care about, our affiliations and backgrounds, our social status and values. In short, by using the theme of bodily adornment to unify a very diverse set of human practices, this book tells us about who we are. Stephen John Davies is Emeritus Professor of philosophy at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. He mainly writes on aesthetics, evolution, and particularly the philosophy of art. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel.

The leader of a military movement in the country says there is a risk Sudan could split because the current military junta in charge of the country is not ready for a peaceful settlement and want to stay in power, The leader of the Sudan People's Liberation Army, Abdelaziz al-Hilu, says that his group will opt for independence if the government in Khartoum does not change. The SPLA-North is in control of a large swathe of land in the Nuba mountains in the country's south, as well as part of the Blue Nile in the southeast. Mr. Al-Hilu says his group prefers unity but warned that if Khartoum wants to maintain the old Sudan of segregation and oppression then “we will opt for independence.

 This interview is with Hajooj Kuka, who is a Sudanese activist and film-maker. Hajooj has been deeply embedded in the broad-based mobilization that is happening across Sudan since 2018. He's the dynamo behind the Sudanese Civic Lab, an independent nonprofit organization that provides spaces and opportunities for debates, training and artwork to help strengthen the revolution. In 2014, his documentary Beats Of The Antonov about war in the Blue Nile and Nuba mountain regions won the People's Choice Award at Toronto Film Festival. The film tells an important story; it teaches that even in times of adversity, there is resilience and resistance through music. Hajooj also founded Refugee Club, an alliance of creative members whose work reflects an awareness of the transitory state of migration. Here, artists explore identities beyond nation, religion, sexual orientation, ethnicity and race without being afraid to ask critical questions. mAt the moment, he is the Creative Director of 7ayin, a Sudanese network reporting on the conflict and war in Sudan. In this episode, Hajooj talks about his personal experiences with political activism in Sudan, including:The role of the military in the revolution His personal struggle of mistrust towards other activists, as one never knows who might secretly work for the other side Strategies the military used to suppress opposition and resistance, such as cutting internet connections and electricity The main organizers of the revolution, such as the Resistance Committee, doctors, professionals, university students His goal of removing the mindset from society that the military should rule in Sudan The relationship between the Resistance Committees and the Sudanese Professionals Association and which strategies they use to mobilizeHow diversity strengthens, not weakens, the Sudanese movement  How colonialism impacts the local political and cultural fabric and how his movement plans on becoming more independent His answer to the question “What kind of Sudan do you want to create?”His thoughts on the International Criminal Court in Sudan His three artists he is loving these days are mostly local, young artists and poets. He lists Mu7aid (a local poet) and artists who make murals. Check out the artists here. Ukombozi is a podcast about social movements on the African continent and what it means to get free.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Pope Francis has asked the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors to produce an annual report on what the Catholic Church is doing around the world to prevent the abuse of minors and vulnerable adults. In an audience at the Vatican on April 29, the pope called on the commission to produce the annual audit to promote “transparency and accountability.” Father Andrew Small, the secretary of the commission, responded positively to the pope's request for the report at a press conference following the papal audience. The commission's report will not deal with specific cases, but will provide details on the status of safeguarding policies and procedures, according to Small. This will include how effectively guidelines are being implemented. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251094/pope-francis-asks-for-annual-report-on-church-s-efforts-to-prevent-abuse A Catholic doctor has been providing medical care to some 1 million people in the Nuba mountains, a contested region between Sudan and South Sudan. After the military staged a coup in Sudan six months ago, the country remains in political and economic turmoil. Its neighbor, South Sudan, faces severe food shortages and a rise in violence. Doctor Tom Catena, who works as a lay missionary and medical director of the Mother of Mercy Hospital, says that people from outside the region are now traveling to the rural hospital for care. The doctor discussed how many of their patients who come from the north are Muslims who have never had exposure to Christianity. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251086/this-catholic-doctor-provides-care-for-1-million-people-in-sudan-south-sudan The European Court of Human Rights ruled this week that Swiss authorities were wrong to reject a Pakistani Christian convert's asylum claim. The court in Strasbourg, France, said on April 26 that the expulsion of the applicant, identified only as M A M, to Pakistan would violate the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantees the right to life and prohibits torture and inhuman or degrading treatment. M A M is a Pakistani national who converted from Islam to Christianity after he arrived in Switzerland in 2015. His asylum application was rejected in 2018. The court said that Swiss officials should have examined his request, which was based on his conversion, in greater detail and taken into account the overall situation of Christian converts in Pakistan as well as the applicant's specific circumstances. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/251092/european-court-sides-with-pakistani-christian-convert Today the Church celebrates Saint Catherine of Siena, a third-order Dominican, peacemaker, and counselor to the Pope. She singlehandedly ended the Avignon exile of the popes in the 14th century. She is the co-patron of Italy and of Europe. https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/saint/st-catherine-of-siena-451

I had the pleasure of speaking to the founder of To Move Mountains, Ryan Boyette in this episode. He shares with you how this nonprofit has been able leverage resources and international funding. But first, they started (and remain) at the community level. They asked the pivotal question to the community, "What do you want?" A resounding voice was Education. _____________________________________________________________________ Want Resources on grant writing and funding? ✔️ ✨

Ryan Boyette is the founder of To Move Mountains, which he began in 2018 to address the critical gap in education in Nuba. As a humanitarian aid worker, journalist, and change-maker, Ryan Boyette has spent over 15 years living in the remote Nuba mountains of Sudan, where he eventually met his wife Jazira. They now have two children, Eben (age 5) and Kandaka (age 2). ABOUT: With Faith in Jesus we provide education to children and communities in areas of conflict so that they are equipped with the knowledge and skills to improve all aspects of their lives. We believe that Improved Education Will lead to...Improved LivelihoodsEquipping students with knowledge and skills for innovative and adaptive livelihoods Improved GovernanceInstilling students with leadership and critical thinking skills for improved governanceImproved Social CapitalRestoring lost identity by promoting the Nuban's rich history through education.

GNAC started with the simple idea of basing a coalition on the unity and synergy found in the Book of Acts, where believers shared all things in common and worked unflinchingly toward the fulfillment of the Great Commission, along the way ministering to physical as well as spiritual needs of all those they encountered. Unlike a faith-based NGO, GNAC fulfills its mission and vision by working in conjunction with partner organizations like Africa Inland Mission (AIM), One Tribe and Sister Effect, Joining Our Voices and Nuba Christian Family Mission, Lift up the Vulnerable, Jesus Film, Partners International, e3 Partners, ACROSS, International Aid Services.  Frontiers, and Pioneers.  Also partner coalitions like the Sahel Initiative, Vision 5:9, GACX and the Missions Awareness Consultative Conf. (MACC).   Lastly, the many churches and individuals in Sudan and globally working to make a difference in our world. The Four Pillars of Gospel, Education, Relief and Capacity Building, along with the annual conference bringing the world to the isolated Nuba people, are the two main vehicles GNAC uses to coalesce the many giftings and talents of its members into ACTsion!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/radicalabundance)

Leni følte et større og større behov for å bosette seg blant Nuba-folket, i en tilværelse hun så på som et paradis på jord. Men ettersom årene gikk opplevde hun at kulturen til dette folket ble stadig mer utvannet. Samtidig begynte hun sakte men sikkert å høste mer anerkjennelse for arbeidet sitt med film og foto. Til tross for at hun fremdeles var uglesett i hjemlandet ble hun hyllet av artister som Mick Jagger og Francis Ford Coppola. https://taakeprat.com

If you want to be swept away in a story about resilience, reinvention and catching dreams, this episode is for you. Then combine it with compelling advice from three experts, Robert Carter, Chris Barrett and Duke McKenzie on how to engage the head, heart and wallets of customers. It is appointment listening for anyone wanting a post-COVID comeback. Ernesto Gomez is a first-generation Canadian who fell in love with food watching and then helping his mother and grandmother prepare meals in their Mexico kitchen. Curiosity led him to explore Chinese and Italian food and when he was old enough, travel the world, feeding his mind with possibilities. Ernesto returns to Mexico and opens a restaurant and attends the school of hard knocks. After five years with his knapsack packed with experience, he goes off on another exploration and returns to Vancouver, where his family has immigrated. Bored and restless he wanders into Nuba restaurant and meets Victor and then, well, I won’t spoil that part of the story. What Ernesto and Victor build in terms of restaurants, formats, culture and community is a case study in entrepreneurship. Armed with a war chest, they set their sights on a new location in Spain and then COVID-19 attacks in more ways than one. They have to shut down their restaurants, and Ernesto catches the virus. For anyone thinking this is a common flu pay attention to how Ernesto, strong and healthy has to fight for every breath and during that time, fight to keep their dream alive and jobs for his employees. Small Business Matters series, presented by RBC. Ernesto turns a passion into a career (1:06) Hunting deer with his father, cooking with his grandmother and his early passion for cooking supported by his mother, Ernesto “cooks from the heart”. Receiving culinary training in Europe, Ernesto, turns his hobby into a career and learns the business in the school of hard knocks! However he needs more and enters a postgraduate program at Cornell. After graduating, Ernesto travels the world exploring the foods of Japan, France, Middle East and Spain, returning to Mexico to focus on stadium and arena food. Success in Vancouver (05:06) Following his parents to Vancouver, Canada, a chance meeting sets Ernesto on a path to success. He sells his business in Mexico, and together with his new-found partner, Victor, reinvigorates an existing restaurant, Nuba. From these humble beginnings, they go on to establish 2 different concepts and expand to create a 100 seater flagship restaurant and another focusing on kids. Off the back of this success, Ernesto, travels to Spain to open a new restaurant but returns to Vancouver with an unwelcome guest, the Coronavirus. Ernesto recovers from the Coronavirus and pivots the business (08:33) For 12 days Ernesto, is flat on his back, taken down by the Coronavirus and so has his business. To survive they cut salaries, cancel partner dividends, reduce working hours and lay off staff. But that’s not enough. Popular delivery platforms are eating away at their meagre profits. Something has to change. With the money that would have been spent on their expansion into Spain, they decide to build their own, bespoke food delivery service but don’t stop there. They also create their own meal kits. The path to growth - the experts plot a way forward for Ernesto (13:42) Customers are going to be wary about coming back to restaurants. Robert Carter, managing partner of Stratton Hunter Group suggests a strong focus on building trust from a sanitation standpoint. Duke McKenzie, CEO, re6l  advises Ernesto to continue to tell his story, but much more frequently - he has all the right ingredients for authentic stories. Chris Barrett, CEO, Operatic Agency provides 3 key pieces of advice: knowing your audience, being visible to customers searching for food delivery and getting the story of “one location straight to your door service” out there - its a key differentiator. I am encouraged by Ernesto - Tony’s final thoughts (25:00)Despite the devastating impact COVID-19 has had on the restaurant sector, I am encouraged having spoken to Ernesto. I am encouraged by his curiosity, his resilience and his determination to reinvent his business in the face of personal and professional adversity. Ernesto displays the fighting spirit this country needs and in Ernesto’s case, fortune has truly favoured the bold.

In this episode, Tom Catena, a missionary physician who runs Mother of Mercy Hospital in the Nuba Mountains in Sudan, describes some of his extraordinary work as the only doctor in a remote, war-torn region of Africa. In terms of individual lives saved, you could argue that there is no other person on the front lines doing more than Tom. Additionally, we explore the manner in which the Nuba people die, which is in striking contrast the ubiquity of chronic disease and self-harm in the west, despite the extreme poverty and unimaginable suffering experienced by the Nuba people. Lastly, we discuss the lessons to be gleaned from the Nuba people, who despite their suffering, live so harmoniously, happily, and resiliently. To support Tom’s mission please visit www.amhf.us.

Our favourite cars were often hot because they were on fire, for real. In this episode we're joined by special guest Sue of Burnaby as we gleefully tar and feather all drivers of certain vehicles. Without giving it away, we’re talking white vans, Ford Fx50s, BMWs, Volkswagens, and Mustangs. We get to hear about RJ’s experience at a historical lecture on the old Penthouse Night Club, which leads us naturally to instructions on how to redact a PDF document. Oh, and we become mildly obsessed with the Telus Holiday Fire channel.

If you’re already in prison for your faith, and facing a possible death penalty, Petr Jasek says you can be even more bold about sharing Jesus. After all…how much worse could your situation get, from an earthly perspective? Jasek and Pastor Hassan Abduraheem Taour were cell mates in a Sudanese prison, on trial together for alleged espionage against the nation of Sudan, and this week they are together on VOM Radio in a special episode recorded at a VOM Advance Conference. Listen to how they found JOY even as they were physically suffering and were separated from families and loved ones. Listen as Petr shares how he could physically feel the prayers of people around the world while he was in prison. Both men will share how God had specifically prepared them to face persecution and imprisonment. Petr will also talk about how God brought back to his mind the words of songs he had learned as a child, and about the invisible “prayer map” on the walls of his prison cell. Both Petr and Hassan will share what it meant to them for Sudanese Christians to gather outside the courtroom and boldly sing hymns of praise to God as the men were taken to and from their court hearings. Finally, you’ll be equipped to pray specifically for Christians in prison right now for their faith in Christ, as well as for their family members waiting, hoping and praying for their incarcerated loved ones. You can hear the VOM Radio interview with Petr Jasek, recorded just eight days after he was released from prison in Sudan, here: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3. Our interview with Pastor Hassan is here: Part 1 and Part 2.

Brad Phillips shares an update on the current situation for Christians in Sudan, including persecution of Nuba Christians along the border with South Sudan. You’ll be inspired by the story of Morris, who paid the fine demanded from the Muslim who attacked his daughter. Morris saw an opportunity for the gospel instead of taking an opportunity for revenge or anger. You’ll be challenged as you hear how the gospel is advancing in Sudan in spite of persecution and threats, and equipped to pray for our Sudanese family members as they boldly share the gospel. You can hear Phillips’ previous visit on VOM Radio here. Hear VOM staff member Petr Jasek share about his 14 months in prison in Sudan here.

She's an award-winning journalist and filmmaker, but Nyasha Kadandaradidn't start out to be a journalist or a filmmaker. In fact in her first year of university she studied…actuarial science!  But she soon found that much as she enjoyed mathematics, being an actuary wasn't a career path she was cut out for.    She switched her major to finance with the thought that she would eventually pursue a career in investment banking.  Wanting to be immersed in university life, Nyasha signed up to be part of the editorial team for the student publication at University of Cape Town.  Even though her first piece was rejected, she discovered that storytelling was actually her true passion.  After graduating, Nyasha took a job at a local IT consulting firm, but her dream to be a storyteller kept pulling at her. She applied to the prestigious Columbia Graduate School of Journalism in New York, and was accepted.  Since then, Nyasha has gone on to produce award winning documentaries, and reported across the globe.  She's currently based in Nairobi, Kenya.  Her most recent work, which was published by the BBC, is a multimedia story called ‘Sex & The Sugar Daddy'.  It's a controversial and thought-provoking look at the 'Sugar Daddy' or 'Sponsor' culture that is prevalent in Kenya.  In our conversation, Nyasha talks about why she wanted to tell the ‘Sugar Daddy' story, what inspired her to follow a career in journalism and filmmaking, some of the greatest challenges she's faced as a journalist, and the impact she'd like to have in the world.    WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE What inspired Nyasha to want to pursue a career as a journalist and filmmaker How her first written piece was rejected by her student newspaper, but this inspired her to keep writing What it was like being a student at Columbia Journalism School What some of the biggest challenges she's faced so far in her career What inspired Nyasha to want to tell the story of the 'Sugar Daddy' culture in Kenya, even though she knew it was a controversial subject How she went about finding and convincing Grace and Jane to share their stories on camera What the public reaction has been to the story The advice she would give to any aspiring journalist or filmmaker What Nyasha is most grateful for Her greatest goal, and who she'd want to share it with What Nyasha's "I am…" is   EPISODE LINKS Nyasha's Website Nyasha on Instagram Nyasha on Twitter Nyasha on Facebook Nyasha on LinkedIn

The documentary filmmaker discusses his new film about a heroic doctor in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan.

In the piercingly straightforward documentary The Heart of Nuba we meet the only surgeon within 200 miles, Dr. Tom Catena does his best to save lives in the midst of carnage and terror, treating as many as 400 patients a day at Mother of Mercy Hospital, nestled in the heart of the Nuba Mountains. The region is the latest target of Omar al-Bashir, a man wanted by the International Criminal Court for committing crimes against humanity and war crimes in Darfur. Surrounded by a country at war, living under the constant shadow of aerial bombardment, Dr. Tom Catena and his mostly local staff defy Bashir’s ban on humanitarian aid, and work tirelessly to serve the Nuba people. This population of one million Muslims, Christians, Animists and Africans of traditional belief have lived together harmoniously for centuries. Now, together with ‘Dr. Tom’, they struggle to survive. His patients come to him from hundreds of miles away on foot, in carts, or often cradled in their mother’s arms. Welcome to the Nuba Mountains of Sudan, an area of the world so void of humanitarian and media attention that years of war go ignored, and cries for help go largely unheard. Here, this lone American surgeon tends with equal compassion to patients ranging from malnutrition and leprosy, to grave wounds inflicted by the indiscriminate bombings ordered by their own president, Omar al-Bashir. When a government can attack defenseless men, women and children with supersonic bombers,and it doesn’t make anyone’s newswire, something is terribly awry. Dr. Tom’ and his staff defy Bashir’s ban on humanitarian aid, work tirelessly to save the lives of the Nuba people, and bring hope to one million people who would be otherwise forgotten. Director Kenneth Carlson joins us to talk about Dr. Tom’s selfless work, the people of the region and the impact that The Heart of Nuba is having on their plight.

This podcast is usually devoted to book written about the past. The authors may be historians, or political scientists, or anthropologists, or even a member of the human rights community. But we’re almost always talking about a mass atrocity that took place ‘before.’ Sam Totten‘s new book Sudan’s Nuba Mountains People Under Siege: Accounts by Humanitarians in the Battle Zone (McFarland, 2017) is different. The book is a compilation of first hand accounts of people currently working in a crisis area. Some of are doctors, some journalists, some aid workers. Their contributions to the book are intensely personal, recounting experiences caring for the sick, communicating the truth, or simply trying to deliver food amidst the scorching heat and poor roads of the Nuba Mountains. Many are harrowing to read. All inspire a profound respect. But collectively they raise interesting questions. What does it mean to study genocide while being an activist? How can activists raise the visibility of conflicts in far-away places. What level of response elevates one above the level of a ‘bystander?’ Is everyone called to risk life and limb? Or is it enough to speak for the living and the dead? And who gets to decide? Sam will be continuing his efforts to deliver food to the Nuba. If you would like to learn more about the project or about how you can help, you can e-mail him atsamstertotten@gmail.com.

"THE DEEP CONTROL" presents a series of podcasts ! Mine Mía (Barcelona / Ibiza / Cuba) Bio: Born in Havana, to a family of musicians and artists, Mine Mía was destined to be involved in music somehow. Due to the strength of her passion of music and because family lived in Zaragoza, Mine was able to leave Cuba at the age of 19 and attend the University of Zaragoza in Spain where she studied Studio & Audiovisual Production. Years later she settled in Southern Italy to develop a career as a videographer and photographer but music kept calling her and soon she was filming raves and tech house parties throughout the region. It became clear though to her that her real passion was not in the audiovisual world but in music, specifically DJ'ing the best Deep and Tech House party sets possible. The clarity of her passion drove Mine to Ibiza in 2013 where she quickly became the resident DJ at Hotel Migjorn for two years. She did not stay exclusive however, due to high demand from some of Ibiza's best nightspots and beach bars. Her two years in Ibiza saw her play KM5 regularly as well as numerous Beach Clubs on the island like Sushi Point, B.For, Nuba and Sunset Ashram amongst others. 2015 and 2016 became a year of growth. Mine like many other international DJs moved to Barcelona to further her career. Many opportunities came and quickly she was warming up the likes of Simon Baker and Felix Da Housecat at Penelope Club amongst many others. The real highlight came when she was made resident DJ at Under Barcelona which is the premier underground club in the city. There she supports numerous artists regularly including the likes of Oxia amongst others. With two years under her belt of playing in Ibiza at some of the most important venues on the island, followed by residencies in some of the most established and credible venues in Barcelona, be careful 2017, because Mine Mía is on her way.

Director Kenneth A. Carlson discusses his new film, The Heart of Nuba, with fellow Director Chuck Workman. The film covers the work of Dr. Tom Catena, who treats as many as 400 patients a day at Mother of Mercy Hospital as the region is bombed relentlessly by war criminal Omar Al Bashir.

The Nuba Mountains are a remote region of northern Sudan, in South Kordofan. The Nuba are various Indigenous tribes who inhabit the region.   Abyei lies further to the south and was also part of South Kordofan. It is just north of the border with South Sudan. Abyei Area, rich in oil, is disputed territory between Sudan and South Sudan. I remember being in Nimule in 2007, listening to troop carriers in the night driving north to Abyei, when the Comprehensive Peace Agreement was allegedly in place.   Five women, Muslim and Christian, who arrived in Australia as refugees from these two areas talk to Jodie Heterick and I about their homeland. Jodie and I learn about the 99 mountains of Nuba, about building your home, scarification, dance, and war.   These are beautiful, strong women. From hiding in the rocks from aeroplanes dropping bombs on schools, to adapting to modern life in Khartoum where you must pay for things and are looked down on for your traditional practices, to building a new life in western Sydney, this is a fascinating insight into the tumult of seeking refuge.   Apologies, however, for the quality of the sound. With the number of children and number of languages* that the seven of us had between us, it is amazing that we got such a coherent conversation.   The Sudanese politicians referred to when the women are describing the topics of songs are: Omar Al-Bashir - the President of Sudan; Yousif Kuwa – the leader of Nuba; Salva Kirr – the President of South Sudan; John Garang – who led the Sudan People’s Liberation Army in the 2nd Sudanese Civil War, and then was the First Vice President of Sudan until his death in a helicopter crash in 2005. He is considered a hero in Sudan.   * I only had one of those languages. I am in awe of these women with their 3 or 4 languages. 

The RCP team (Jim Clemente, Laura Richards and Lisa Zambetti) discuss the documentary The Heart of Nuba with its director Ken Carlson. The movie sheds light on the victims in the remote Nuba mountains in Sudan and the extraordinary work of Dr. Tom Catena. #HeartOfNuba New to Real Crime Profile?

Cover by ©FRANZ ZÜNKLER [franz.zuenkler@t-online.de] ┋ Milo Häfliger [https://soundcloud.com/miloh-fliger] (ZERO, CEPAGE MUSIC - Zürich) presents 'A Gentle Slide Into The Unknown' Afterhour Sounds Podcast Nr.96┋ Unsere Nummer 96 kommt diese Woche von einem aufstrebenden Schweizer Künstler, der es innerhalb kürzester Zeit geschafft hat, sich auch über die deutschsprachigen Grenzen hinweg einen Namen zu machen. Die Rede ist von Milo Häfliger. Einem Soundnomaden, der mit seinen Sets stets die Orte des erlebbaren und nicht erlebbaren auslotet. Angereichert mit einer Fülle von Emotionen, lädt er jeden Einzelnen dazu ein, sich seine eigene Welt des Tanz- und Denkbaren zu erschaffen. Neben seinen zahlreichen und sinnerweiternden Sets, die ausnahmslos alle Spitze sind, orientiert er sich stilistisch an der traditionellen Musik der südlichen Hemisphäre, die mit Ihrem Arrangement perfekt dafür geeignet ist Gefühle entstehen und für jeden Einzelnen erfahrbar zu machen. Dabei bewegt er sich stets irgendwo zwischen Melancholie und Heiterkeit. Ein Bereichsspektrum in dem jeder seinen Platz finden wird. Seine Musik ist aber nicht nur für eine gemütliche Couchsession an einem verregneten Sonntag geeignet. Ganz im Gegenteil. Durch tiefe Bässe und teils treibender Rhythmik, sowie einem etwas höheren Tempo, ist seine Musik auch durchaus tanzbar, was seine zahlreichen Auftritte rund um den Globus belegen. Obwohl er erst seit kurzer Zeit dabei ist, konnte er im letzten Jahr bereits schon einige prestigereiche Gigs verzeichnen. Unter anderem bespielte er das Glücklich Festival in Zürich, das Nuba in Paris, das House of Yes in New York, sowie in Dubai, Griechenland, Belgien, Russland und und und. Bald steht sogar eine Indien-Tour an. Es läuft würde so mancher wohl sagen. Uns freut es sehr diesen aufstrebenden Künstler für unsere Reihe gewonnen zu haben, der es trotz seines immer voller werdenden Kalenders geschafft hat, ein wieder einmal ganz vorzügliches Set aufzunehmen. Die Aufnahme besticht vor allem durch seinen spannenden Aufbau und der permanent präsenten melancholischen Stimmung. Ein Gefühl, welches den europäischen Herbst perfekt einfängt und folglich jedem von uns Raum zum erforschen seiner Selbst gibt. Wir danken dir Milo für dieses herzerwärmende und hypnotisierende Set aus dem Bereich des Jenseits. Jetzt aber genug der Worte. Musik ein, Welt aus.

Music * Under the credits is Harlaamstrat 74 off of John Dankworth's Modesty Blaise score. * They first meet to a piece called Brouillard (version 1) from Georges Delaure's extraordinary score to Jules et Jim. (A second version comes in later when J.J. Audubon is living the high life in England). * We also hear Waltz by Mother Falcon. * I go back to the Marcelo Zarvos/Please Give well when the Scotsman arrives at their store. Note: it's the go-to soundtrack for "People Arriving at One's Store With A Life Changing Proposition" here at the Memory Palace. Also: go watch Please Give. * The little piano piece is from Nathan Johnson's score to The Day I Saw Your Heart. * Lucy and John titter like plovers to Andrew Cyrille's dope, skittering drums on Nuba 1. * The especially sad bit, right before the end is Dream 3 (in the Midst of my Life), from Max Richter's giant, From Sleep album. * A couple times, including the ending, we hear "the Lark Ascending" from Ralph Vaughn Willliams. It is beautiful. You should buy it. Notes As per usual, I read a lot about the Audubons and the Bakewells. I relied most upon the charming and smart, On the Road with John James Audubon by Mary Durant, and Carolyn DeLatte's lovely, thoughtful book, Lucy Audubon: a Biography. * Just a quick note: there's a very enjoyable PBS/American Masters/Nature documentary about Audubon. It's a fun and informative watch. But, I'll say, you come out of that thinking that things were fundamentally swell between Lucy and John in a way that I'm not entirely sure is supported by the facts. Or jibes with, you know, human nature.

With several national competitions under their belt, Slam Nuba will return to the championships in Oakland, CA this August to try to claim the national title again. They join Martin for episode 14 of the Front Row Podcast. We hope you enjoy Martin's conversation with Luce, Jovan, Joser, Mary, Ken and Johnny.

Most of the authors I’ve interviewed for this show have addressed episodes in the past, campaigns of mass violence that occurred long ago, often well-before the author was born. Today’s show is different. In his book Genocide by Attrition: The Nuba Mountains of Sudan (Transaction Publishers, 2012), Samuel Totten addresses the violence against the people of the Nuba Mountains of the Sudan.  This violence was part of a broader civil war and unrest in the Sudan in the 1980s and 90s.  Totten makes a convincing case that, in the Nuba, it reached a level reasonably labeled genocidal.  To demonstrate this, Totten provides a succinct but thorough history of the conflict. But the heart of the book is a series of interviews with victims of the tragedy.  Totten collected the interviews himself and uses them to demonstrate the nature and consequences of the conflict. Our interview won’t stop with the book, however, for conflict has recently broken out again in the region.  Scholars differ about how to label the new violence (Totten himself prefers to avoid calling the new fighting genocidal).  But there’s no question many of the human tragedies of the 80s and 90s have reemerged.  Totten has written extensively about this new conflict.  We’ll use of one these articles, from the recent issue of Genocide Studies International, as the basis for our discussion of current events. Totten has been active in the field of genocide studies since its inception and brings an enormous wealth of information and passion to the subject.  I trust the interview will convey his commitment to his discipline and to the victims of the violence he studies. Also.  I talked with Sam this week and he tells me he’s just finished a major revision of the book we discussed in this interview, almost doubling its length.  The second edition will presumably be out soon.

How did the lifeboat of the North Atlantic, as it's called, manage to cope with thousands of unexpected air passengers? Jo Fidgen is in Gander, Newfoundland, with a story of 9.11 kindness. In Sudan, there are fears of a new offensive by government troops once the rains have stopped -- Julie Flint's in the Nuba mountains in the south. Nick Thorpe's at a monastery overlooking the River Danube in Romania. There they've been celebrating a holy day when people come to have their ailments washed away by holy water. Thomas Dinham tells of a febrile atmosphere in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, in the days after a mob laid seige to the Israeli embassy there. And in the week when the president of the European Commission spoke of a fight for our political and economic future, Paul Henley argues that increasingly Europe is becoming a continent of extremes.
