Anyone who aspires to be a real communist or to understand the theory of modern communism must study Lenin’s pamphlet The State and Revolution. Lenin was able to nearly finish this monumental contribution to Marxism and revolution while on the run, living underground and hiding from the police from August to October 1917, just before the insurrection that seized power. The State and Revolution has been published in practically every written language. It is considered the veritable manifesto for the Russian Revolution. However, the book played no role in the revolution itself given that it was not published until after the workers had seized power in October/November 1917. The final version was written following the victorious October insurrection. If Lenin had written the book only as a guide to action for the revolution, it would have been unnecessary for him to devote so much time to finishing the book in the two months after the revolution. After all, at this time he and the other leading Bolsheviks were also confronted with the consuming crises and immediate life-and-death challenges facing the new government. The book’s primary objective was not simply to serve as a guide to action for the unfolding events. Nor was it to describe what form a future socialist state would take. The book and its contents were written to re-establish the original revolutionary teachings of Marx on the need to smash and destroy the existing state power rather than using its parliamentary apparatus as the path to achieving socialism. The book’s primary objective was to rescue Marxism from its devolution into a doctrine of reform, to restore Marxism as a doctrine of revolution.

Our special guest this week is Arturo Kassel, CEO of Whisknladle Hospitality, which brought us restaurants like Prep Kitchen, Catania, and Whisknladle in La Jolla. He also owns Gravity Heights Brewery, which opened last summer in Sorrento Valley, and the Park Commons food hall. Arturo and his business partner, chef Ryan Johnston, opened Whisknladle in La Jolla in 2008. After 12 years in the neighborhood, they had to close the restaurant this spring because of the pandemic. We featured Whisknladle’s closure in the October/November issue of San Diego Magazine, where we also ran the restaurant’s recipe for their mussels appetizer, provided by Ryan. Arturo has been on the show before, and we invited him back to talk about the latest Stay Home Order. This time around, restaurants can only serve takeout or delivery, and breweries and wineries were ordered to close their tasting rooms. Currently, Catania is open for takeout daily, but Gravity Heights and Park Commons has been temporarily closed. Arturo shares that he fully supports the shutdown of indoor dining, and he understands the need to move to outdoor dining only, but has several frustrations about the current closures. He says that the hospitality industry represents around 9 percent of the outbreaks that have occurred in San Diego County, which would mean that 91 percent are attributable to other sectors. He feels that the restaurant industry is being scapegoated. The PPP loans that came during the first shutdown are what kept their restaurants alive—but another shutdown without PPP funds, or any kind of aid, makes the future very uncertain. Arturo says he’s not as panicked this time around. At the first shutdown, he thought he was seeing 14 years of his life’s work come to a crashing halt, and he was devastated. This time around, they were better prepared, compared to March when they had to throw away thousands of dollars worth of food. He remains cautiously optimistic that there will be some form of relief eventually, but admits that hope is not a great strategy. Despite everything, he remains incredibly proud of and grateful for his team, who managed a seemingly impossible situation. Arturo sees a silver lining in the way the pandemic has forced everyone to take stock of what’s really important in our lives, and believes that on the other side of this, we’re really going to appreciate those simple things—the places we go, the things we do, and the people we see. In Two People for Takeout, Troy recommends supporting any local caterer, like his favorite, Miho Catering Company. Marie got caldo de pollo at Lourdes to satisfy her chicken soup craving. David recommends checking out Sushi Uno, one of many food trucks that, without local breweries, have lost their biggest avenue of distribution. Arturo didn’t pick one specific place—instead, he encourages people to order takeout from the experiential, full-service dining restaurants in their neighborhood. Thank you for listening! As always, we want to hear from our listeners. Do you have a question for Troy? Need a recommendation for takeout? Is there a guest you want us to book on the show? Let us know! You can call us at 619-744-0535 and leave a voicemail, or if you’re too shy, you can email us at happyhalfhour@sdmag.com. Be sure to tune in next week for our final episode of 2020.

After That Suffering A sermon preached by Rev. Ginger E. Gaines-Cirelli with Foundry UMC, October November 29, 2020, “In the Fullness of Time” series. Text: Mark 13:24-37 Time is a tricky thing. Theoretical physics gives us concepts like absolute or Newtonian time, relativity and the space-time continuum, and loop quantum gravity theory—all different perspectives trying to understand what seems to be the fairly agreed upon belief that time is one of the most difficult things to understand. Yet here we are. And it is whatever time it is. And humans have forever been anxious to try to predict the times, to predict when things will happen—and are, mostly, tragically or hilariously wrong. We join our ancestors in moments of suffering who for centuries cry out “How long, O Lord?” Or with Whitney Houston, “How will I know?” Or with every child anywhere on a family trip, “Are we there yet?” We talk about time as a commodity and often get caught in a scarcity model—as if we don’t have enough. Or we think of time as an empty space that is our duty to fill with activity. When will there come a time that there’s more time? Is that even possible? Is time really a measurable thing? And what about eternity? Does time have a “start time?” And we’re back to physics and question after question. Time is always a tricky thing. And in this year of disruption and disaster and disease, time—at least my experience of it—has just been plain weird. Sometimes a week feels like a day and a month like a week. The familiar rhythms and markers of our existence have been so thrown off that it feels like we’re floating in some shadowy wrinkle in time. And we don’t know how long all this is going to last and we can’t plan our lives in the little boxes and fields of our calendars that normally give us some sense of control because predictions of vaccines and protocols and tests and all the other stuff surrounding COVID-19 are shrouded in uncertainty wrapped in contingencies. It’s true that—because human life has often been disrupted with disease and violence—one of the most common refrains of our spiritual tradition is “How long, O Lord??” But in the midst of that outcry, if we’re paying attention, our faith tradition helps us manage and mark time. The seasons of the church year, the liturgical seasons with their assigned symbolic colors and images, are one of the ways that our religious practice orders time. And today we begin a new year with this first Sunday of Advent. Advent is all about waiting, about anticipation, about looking ahead to fulfillment of a promise. But one difference between human experience of time generally and our religious observance is that in church time we’ve got an end date—we know, for example, that we will light a candle on our wreath for four Sundays and then, on December 25th, baby Jesus arrives! It’s like clockwork, like Newtonian time, steady and forward moving and certain. Jesus is gonna get born no matter what items on our holiday to-do list have been completed or left undone, no matter whether we’ve gathered in person with family or in worship on Christmas Eve or not. But there’s this whole other kind of time at work underneath our observance of Advent…or maybe above or around… It is the bigger, broader space of time that begins perhaps at creation and certainly by the birth of Jesus and stretches into this present moment and beyond. This time is not predictable or controlled. It is the time between the Alpha and Omega…the beginning and the end. It is the time between when God got this party started and when all reaches its divinely imagined goal. As one scholar describes it, “Jesus’ followers are summoned to faithful vigilance during an arduous, ambiguous time between the inauguration and consummation of the [kin-dom] of God.” The Gospel according to Mark is particularly focused on this “arduous, ambiguous time” and the text we heard today may reflect the particular upheavals happening in the lives and time of Mark’s readers. If you read the whole of Mark chapter 13, you will read of a variety of dangers and sufferings: false prophets, wars, famines, persecution, family dissension, and exile. Our passage follows these with, “But in those days, after that suffering…” And it sounds like Jesus is going to tell us when to expect the suffering to end (“after that suffering”). And it sounds like Mark wrote the words of our text as if the end of the story—the “consummation of the kin-dom”—was expected within the times that he was living. I mean it says “when you see these things taking place, you know…” and “this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place.” But then we get that bit that says, “about that day or hour no one knows.” Tricky. What we receive next is the teaching about staying awake. We’re supposed to stay awake so as not to miss when the big event happens. Now I have become very good at being awake—often in the middle of the night when I really don’t want to be awake. Staying awake for a long period of time can make you exhausted and cranky. And, well, the time between the inauguration and consummation of the kin-dom of God is not over. The suffering is not ended. Perhaps the specific sufferings of Mark’s day are over—that is, the abuse of power by Roman emperor Nero, whose reign was marked with tyranny, extravagance, and debauchery which inspired the Jewish revolt against imperial Rome. At least we don’t have any of that these days, you know, people abusing power for personal gain for themselves and their cronies, not acting with integrity, making decisions that do harm, acting with prejudice and without any sense of cooperation—all within an inherently broken and oppressive imperial system… At least we don’t have any uprising from those who have been marginalized, disenfranchised, oppressed, and overlooked… Oh…wait… This long time of waiting for tyrants be unseated, empires to fall, and peace and justice to take over is exhausting. How long are we expected to stay awake? A human body and spirit can only take so much after all… “But in those days, after that suffering…” What if this phrase is not meant to mean after a particular suffering in one, specific time? What if the “day or hour” of a divine arrival is not referring to a one-time event? I grant to all of you biblical scholars and theologians out there that Mark is almost certainly reflecting an ancient Jewish hope (found in Daniel and elsewhere) in a “Son of Man” return at the end times to sort everything out the way God wants it. But I beg that you will grant me some interpretive license, some listening underneath the plain meaning or intention of the author in order to receive what Spirit may also want to say. In this long waiting time, this long suffering time, this long time of wondering how long the cycles of injustice and cruelty and war and destruction will continue—in this, our time, what if the message in the text, the message of signs and of words that don’t pass away, the message of remaining alert—what if this is a perennial message, a daily message, a message for us after “that suffering” we experienced yesterday or an hour ago or after the suffering we are experiencing right now is passed…What if the message is that after every suffering, large and small, today and every day, we are assured that an inbreaking of God’s love and mercy will surely come. It may come in ways you might miss if you’re not expecting it. That is, most of us will not see a vision of Jesus surfing back to earth on the waves of cloud or anything else so clear and dramatic. The never-passing-away reality of God’s mending, tender love may come to us through the most everyday kinds of moments. As one poet described it: A certain minor light may still Lean incandescent Out of kitchen table or chair As if a celestial burning took Possession of the most obtuse objects now and then— Thus hallowing an interval Otherwise inconsequent By bestowing largesse, honor, One might say love. Any teaching about staying awake is not, of course, a literal call to sleep deprivation or insomnia (thank God). It is an invitation to remain awake and alert to the present moment, to what is really happening, to each present moment’s beauty and its pain and everything in between. It is an invitation to be always looking for an inbreaking of grace, of divine presence, of visitation. There have been moments when the way the breeze caressed my face was, for me, a clear sign of God’s embrace. When a random message from a rarely heard-from person came to me as a clarion call to purpose. When a new relationship was revealed as part of God’s liberating work in my life. And in this long year challenging in so many new ways, Jesus has shown up again and again. It would be easy to miss these things—and God knows I’ve missed so much in my distraction and my collusion with our culture’s cult of filling time and calendars with what we think are controllable expectations. We can’t know exactly how or when Jesus will show up except on Christmas and Easter! But the promise is that Jesus will draw near after the suffering, in the suffering, in this present suffering, with love and grace just for you. So make that your expectation. Stay alert to that possibility. This holy season into which we enter today is a particularly focused practice ground for living this way. It gives us a way to mark the time with intention, to wait on the Lord not in idleness, but in focused activity. And as we move through these days in the earth’s cycle where on this part of the planet, daylight grows short and night stretches on, and in this year when isolation and illness and injustice cast long shadows, we are reminded that we can shine, we can illumine a way for others who are trying to find footing, we can nurture the lives of others through love and care, we can share what we have, we can pray with and for one another, we can do what we can do. And for all that we cannot control, we wait on the Lord, we look for Spirit, we rely on the visitation of the Christ, trusting that the long night will end, that morning is coming. And our waiting will never be in vain, for in each and every day God is Emmanuel, God with us. And in the fullness of time our long-expected Jesus will come into the world to usher in that perfect peace, that divine justice, that ancient hope for the consummation of God’s creation that is the desire of every nation, the joy of every longing heart. https://foundryumc.org/

What’s It Gonna Be? A sermon preached by Rev. Ginger E. Gaines-Cirelli with Foundry UMC, October November 8, 2020, “Choose This Day” series. Texts: Joshua 24:1-3a, 14-25 The people of Israel have finally arrived in the land that was promised. Joshua, Moses’ successor, is the son of Joseph, the one sold into slavery in Egypt by his brothers, the one who rose to great power as an aide to an Egyptian Pharoah. Joseph’s presence and leadership during a famine was a catalyst for the Israelites landing in Egypt in the first place—where they grew too numerous in a way that threatened the new Pharoah who proceeded to enslave them. We know the story from there…Moses… Passover…Exodus…Wilderness…Conflict and Conquest… and now Joshua gathers the tribes for a covenant-making ritual in the Promised Land. This moment is a significant point of transition for the nation, a decision point about what kind of nation Israel will be and how they will live together in a new context. They bring into that context a reality in which God and militarism and tribalism and religious commandments are all mixed up in a complicated soup. And the historical players, those whose names are etched into the narrative as on stone monuments—from Abraham to Joseph to Moses to Joshua—carry with them plenty of complicated baggage themselves. This is a moment when Israel is ostensibly trying to create a community that is grounded in the high ideals of the Mosaic law with love of God and neighbor at the center. But they seek to build that community on conquered land as a people who bear the scars of a history of slavery. Israel has gotten where they are now through violent, military conflict and plunder. And within their own nation there are rifts and rivalries between tribes. Just so we’re tracking, how does this story resonate with our own in this moment in the United States of America? High ideals and lofty vision, check. Been through some stuff, check. Conquered land, check. Scars of slavery, check. Imperfect historical leaders who’ve been both brave and good and selfish and terrible, check. Fueled and formed by instruments of war, check. Rifts and rivalries between tribes…well? Check. God’s name and character stirred—perhaps dubiously—into the mix, check. A central, grounding narrative of our faith is the story of the exodus from Egypt, the liberation of Israel from slavery and their long journey in the wilderness, trusting in the promise of a land flowing with milk and honey. The wilderness narrative is my go-to in seasons like the year 2020—or really any time of intense struggle, lack, or uncertainty. The promise that God receives the cries of the unlikely ones, the powerless and oppressed, acts as an advocate and guide to liberate them and to upend the unjust systems in ways that bring greater equity and lead to a promised land of new life and new community. I love this. It gives me a frame and a hope. And I believe that is appropriate—there’s truth in it. But I will say that I don’t like thinking about the part of the wilderness wandering that includes the more complicated, unsavory baggage. I don’t like thinking about how, in the scriptural record, God gets saddled with responsibility for the violence done as our ancestors marched toward what they believed was their entitled due. I don’t like thinking about how the high ideals for the new kind of community in the new land were compromised by the way the new land was acquired through conquest and displacement. I don’t like thinking about how there was conflict and power posturing among the people at every turn along the way. I don’t like thinking about how easy it is—even for an oft-conquered people—to tell this story from the perspective of the conqueror without even acknowledging the voices of the conquered. Sometimes we need to tell the hard, complicated truth of our history to be able to truly step into God’s new thing. To tell the hard truth doesn’t mean that we erase anything. It doesn’t mean that we don’t acknowledge the beautiful and brave and honorable parts. Rather it simply asks that we are willing to look at the fullest picture and to name what we’ve ignored or gotten wrong, where harm has been done, the things and people we need to care for if we truly want to live the ideals, values, and faith we profess. We are in a moment in which our nation’s history is catching up with us. I’m not learned enough in the various dynamics nor do I have time today to try to sum it all up in any comprehensive way. But I dare say choices that have been made from the very founding our nation—choices made by public officials and by private citizens and residents—have had consequences. And we are currently in a moment of reckoning with all those consequences—the good, bad, and ugly. The struggle to create community aligned with our highest ideals is at a point of boiling over. We know that poverty and systemic racism leave thousands upon thousands of our siblings vulnerable to indignities and violence of various kinds every day. That reality has only gotten worse in recent years. We know that the impoverished and people of color have been most cruelly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic that has, to date, killed more than 237,000 of our siblings in this country. If we’re honest about recent history, we know that lies and mismanagement allowed the pandemic to get so out of hand. And what we’re also experiencing right now, as one journalist has written, is the way that events of the past four years have “divided seemingly like-minded people of goodwill: friends, relatives, neighbors, professional colleagues — people of similar backgrounds and who theoretically should align politically, but don’t. And who have a hard time feeling anything but contempt for the other.” We are in a place where we cannot imagine how others can actually support who or what they support—and vice versa. We cannot even agree on what the issues are, much less have a meaningful conversation about them that might leverage our different approaches to possible solutions. And today we know that a large number of our siblings in this nation are feeling grief, fear, confusion, and rage. And a large percentage of us are feeling relief, hope, and utter joy even as we know that there is so much work ahead of us. And there are many who will be having a challenging mix of emotions and thoughts as we try to process the most extreme, hateful reactivity in these days. Some among us will want revenge for damage done. Some will not trust anything that is being said by anyone. Today we find ourselves in a moment in which we, like the tribes of Israel, have some choices to make. Those choices have at their core the central question: What God will we serve? Because the kind of God we serve makes a difference for better or for worse. Our faith—the God whom we serve—forms our sense of purpose, our priorities, our values, our understanding of what it means to be human and how to be in community. The God whom we serve will help us know how to respond in the days and months ahead of us as citizens of the Kin-dom of God who are part of this nation. And the God whom we are called to serve is radically free, unbound to any human political system, party, or politician, yet always working deep among us for the sake of what is right. The God whom we serve is the God who gives us freedom and power to resist evil and injustice in any form they present themselves. To stand against anything that does harm to our neighbors, that denies dignity, that steals children and separates families, that harms the planet, that intentionally stirs the reptilian energies of our nature instead of the better angels. Our God is the God who helps us have the courage to be honest about our history, to be peacemakers, to love and listen when it would be easier to hate and dismiss. Our God sends Spirit to encourage and inspire people to tirelessly work over years, in ways most people will never know, to do the things that move the needle, that bend the moral arc toward justice, that further the cause of the Kin-dom. Our God doesn’t abandon us in our stubbornness and foolishness but instead continues to draw near to try to help us perceive how to get to the Promised Land without destroying everything and everyone in our path. Regardless of the election outcome, our choice today would have been the same. Will we seek to serve a God who calls us to sacred resistance which is—from start to finish— “about love, love that looks upon each person with a desire for their wellbeing, love that looks upon human community with a desire for healing and peace with justice, love that looks into all creation with a desire for mending and reverence, love that is compassionate and merciful, love that is stubborn and sacrificial.” Patient and kind…not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. Not insisting on its own way…not irritable or resentful…not rejoicing in wrongdoing, but rejoicing in the truth. This is how God loves the world. This is how God loves you. This is the love God created us to choose and to live. I’ve heard it said recently that a focus on love is weak, is for wimps, you know, that whole tough guy thing. I’ll just quote the Bible, love is stronger than death. Hate is easy. Love is the challenge. At a certain point, like the Israelites of old, we simply have to make a decision about whether we’re serious about loving God and loving neighbor, whether we’re serious about living the promise or just want to keep talking about it. So what’s it gonna be? I pray that we will continue to be and become a community of sacred resistance, a community willing to be bold and humble, to risk getting things wrong as we try to get it right for the sake of love and justice, to be a people who can honestly say, trusting in God’s help, “as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” https://foundryumc.org/
Blessed Choices A homily preached by Rev. Ginger E. Gaines-Cirelli with Foundry UMC, October November 1, 2020, All Saints Sunday, “Choose This Day” series. Texts: Revelation 7:9-17, Matthew 5:1-12 “Choose this day whom you will serve…” These words were spoken by Joshua to the Israelites at a key moment in their history. What God will you serve? The question is always before us and our answer has implications for every aspect of our lives. This choice affects all our other choices. And every moment of life, from the most significant to the mundane, involves choices at some level. As a nation, we are on the brink of a big choice. Like every choice, the outcome will have consequences. Each one of us is responsible for our own discernment and action. After the election, we will still have choices. Every single day. Regardless of the outcome, there will be important work to do, decisions to make, priorities to discern. And as followers of Jesus we’re not left without guidance. In the wilderness place, Jesus was tempted to serve a god who twisted scripture to try to draw him away from a life of self-giving service, away from the God of love, peace, humility, vulnerability, and justice. Jesus made a choice—and, in case you don’t know the story, Jesus didn’t choose to only feed his own belly, to take the money and power, or show off to get praise and fame. (Mt. 4) And today we receive the opening lines to Jesus’s most famous sermon, the “sermon on the mount.” Honestly, every time I am given this text to preach I feel compelled to counter the ways I’ve heard it interpreted as the “BE attitudes,” that mourning or being denied righteousness (justice) are our ticket to getting blessed. That feels like a ridiculously slippery slope. It helps me to remember that both Jesus and the writer of Matthew were speaking to particular communities, both of whom were vulnerable and suffering persecution, exclusion, and subjugation. Again and again, they were faced with choices about how they would respond and where they would put their loyalty and trust. What God would they serve? In the midst, these communities followed Jesus—or at least tried to. And they, like us, are drawn to Jesus and look to the wisdom and way revealed through him for guidance and encouragement. What if the opening words of Jesus’s sermon are an acknowledgement of the realities and varieties of human feelings and experiences in the crowd? Imagine Jesus simply offering a blessing, a promise of God’s grace and presence in whatever circumstance folk are experiencing—a promise that things won’t always be this way. Are you humbled or feel like the wind has gotten knocked out of you? Blessing upon you. Are you swallowed up in grief? Blessing upon you. Do you feel powerless or taken advantage of because of your gentleness, kindness, and mercy? Blessing upon you. Are you starved for a crumb of justice in your life? Blessing upon you. Are you seeking to act with purity of heart, with good intentions, seeking righteousness and peace even when it is difficult to stay the course? Blessing upon you. Are you pouring yourself out for the sake of others, for the sake of justice and, as a result, being slandered and persecuted? Blessing be upon you. The God revealed in Jesus blesses us in our humanity, in our struggle and pain, and in our trying to live aligned with God’s wisdom and way. That way has at the center loving God and loving our neighbor as ourselves. And as we reflected upon last week, it’s not always clear exactly what that will look like. This means we have to discern and then choose… The famous prayer of Thomas Merton comes to mind: My Lord God,I have no idea where I am going.I do not see the road ahead of me.I cannot know for certain where it will end.nor do I really know myself,and the fact that I think I am following your willdoes not mean that I am actually doing so.But I believe that the desire to please youdoes in fact please you.And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing.I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it.Therefore will I trust you always thoughI may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death.I will not fear, for you are ever with me,and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. I love this prayer for so many reasons. But perhaps chief among them is that Merton names our situation as those who choose to try to love God and neighbor. We desire to do God’s will but cannot always know if we’re getting it quite right. Even still, we try and trust that God knows we are trying. On this All Saints Sunday, we celebrate the Saints of our tradition and culture—known and honored by many—and the saints of our own lives who may have been known only in their small circle. But we give thanks for each one of them and for the ways that they tried. No human is without fault and yet there is a beauty and power in trying to love God and love neighbor as ourselves, to trust God’s love and mercy as we deal with the consequences of failure, and to keep on going regardless of the circumstances with as much grace and strength as possible. Today, I hear Jesus blessing us in all the circumstances of our lives right this moment—blessing us not with a promise of a winning lottery ticket, our desired outcome in the election, or quick resolution to the overwhelming challenges of our time, but with the promise of God’s love and presence and an inheritance that far outlasts this moment and our time in this world. I hear Jesus blessing the saints who have crossed over into the next life—“a great multitude…from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages…they who have come out of the great ordeal.” (Rev.7:9, 14) And I give thanks for the vision in Revelation that points toward a place and time beyond our confusion and our struggle to choose rightly, a place and a time in which the barriers between us have been broken down and God’s beloved children across the earth will no longer hunger for food or thirst for justice, where all will be willing to honor our common humanity, our shared life, where all will be nourished by love that bubbles up like a spring, and will humbly allow God, like a mother, to wipe every tear from our eyes. (Rev. 7:16-17) Why not choose to try and live that vision now?…For it may be that in trying and trusting…we are blessed… http://foundryumc.org/
Follow journalist Simon Parker as he takes part in the world’s craziest race: 2,500-miles and two weeks across the length of India … in a rickshaw. You read that right. Welcome to the Rickshaw Run: if Monty Python went on a road trip, this is what they’d do.The rickshaw, if you haven’t ridden one before, if perhaps the least suitable vehicle on the planet for long distance travel. Used commonly across many parts of Asia, it’s basically a three-wheeled moped with a roof on it and room for a couple of passengers to squash in the backseat. It has no sides. It falls over often. Top speed is a rip-roaring 14mph. And you will breakdown. Often. It has been described as a ‘marginally glorified lawnmower’, which is actually doing a disservice to many top of the line grasscutters. But none of that matters, because, by God, they’re fun to drive.And that’s the point. Dreamt up by a load of nutters called The Adventurists, the Rickshaw Run is all about challenging yourself with proper adventure, whilst belly-laughing at your own ridiculousness at the same time. Simon and four mates travelled from the far reaches of northern India, in the shadow of the Himalayas, all the way to the steamy jungles of Kerala on the southern coast. There is no set route. No pre-planned stops or hotels. No convoy or safety car or back up of any kind. Smart phones are scoffed at; Google maps are barred. They simply set off with a pocket map of India and a vague sense of where the finish line was. What happened in between, well, no one could be sure except that there would be chaos, there would be tears and, travelling on back roads and well off the well-beaten track, they would see a side to India that most visitors never see. Are you ready to set off on the wackiest, most ridiculous race on the planet? Let’s go. Highlights:Take part in the world’s most ridiculous road trip: 2,500 miles across India in a glorified lawnmowerBe inspired by the spirit of old school adventure – embracing challenges and the unknowExperience a side of India that few tourists ever see, staying in small villages well off the usual traveller trail and seeing the entire country from the far northern Himalayan foothills to the steamy jungles of the south Who’s the guest?Travel writer and journalist Simon Parker sails, cycles, climbs, hikes and paraglides around the world in search of the planet’s most interesting news stories.

If you want to become a student of the sport of rowing, learning more will give you confidence in your own rowing practice. https://rowing.chat/sponsor/masters-rowing-magazine/ Timestamps to the show 04:50 It's autumn there are things we need to focus on - for the October Training program. In the Rowing Lifestyle module is a total body recovery session - including a rolling pin and a butter knife! Technique module is a video about how to stop rushing the slide and what that looks like. 08:00 The 5k Training program peaking in October / November is about sharpening your speed for racing. Preparing your finishing sprint is part of the training and the taper week before your race date. 12:00 We launch the Faster Five. These are principles which are important to learn, how to practice and what to practice. Things to pay attention to and key reference points. The Faster Five represents the Faster Masters Rowing philosophy of teaching and a structure for you to plug into when you are studying rowing and learning how to become the rower you want to be. 16:00 Faster Five - Technique . Reference points so you can practice on your own. It takes thousands of strokes to learn the correct technique. It takes 3 seasons to become a sculler and 2 seasons for a sweep rower to feel they can apply good power in both sweep and sculling. 19:30 Faster Five - Bladework. timing and co-ordination is important. When you hold something in your hand (the oar) your brain thinks it's part of your hand. This is why it takes a long time to learn. Reduce your wash and blade is a key part of the learning from the Faster Five. The timing, finesse and precision takes drill work, focus and concentration. Developing high speed co-ordination is key to becoming a skilled rower. 23:00 Faster Five - Stroke Power - this comes after the bladework which brings confidence to your rowing. Power requires you to trust the oars and use your body weight. Learning the sequencing, being explosive and being effective at moving the boat. 26:00 Faster Five - Racing - the principles of racing well. Mental and physical, starts, steering and race strategy. What works for you and your crew. Back up plans. Relevant for all rowers whether you race or not because you can test yourself and get progress markers. 30:00 Faster Five - Fitness Assessment. A battery of tests to gauge your quality of rowing including stroke power, VO2 max, anaerobic threshold. Comparing the results works on both an erg (watts) and on water (500m spit to watts). The relative comparison gives proportional fitness measures. This changes over time. 34:30 If you are injured and come back to rowing your test shows you the right level of intensity you can manage. 38:00 Where to get the Faster Five. Link is in the website footer https://fastermastersrowing.com/courses/the-faster-five/ When you subscribe to ANY monthly recurring program on Faster Masters Rowing the Faster Five is included free of charge. When athletes stop doing our training program you lose a lot. You lose commitment, you lose engagement and you lose someone else coaching and doing the thinking for you. When you stop doing our training program you lose fitness, you lose your edge and you don't stay engaged and showing up. When successful athletes stop doing the Faster Masters program 100% of the time they never maintain the results they had on the program. Success does not carry on without an ongoing, developing training program. 40:00 Faster Masters is more than just a training program. Faster Masters is not babysitting athletes. Depth of instruction and insight from masters specialists. The Faster Five took us months to complete and includes our years of coaching expertise. Masters feel like "disregarded" athletes - we are on a mission to get the sport of rowing to appreciate masters athletes. What we can bring to them, the goals we have are important. We deserve respect. We are building a global family of athletes. 47:00 Virtual Head of the Charles - should you lap a 2k course or row the lake perimeter?

Professor Ivan Perry, a native of Ballymote, Co Sligo, is Dean of Public Health at University College, Cork. He is also a member of the Zero Covid Ireland group of experts that is calling for a tougher, stricter line in dealing with the virus here in Ireland. Its proposals include a ban on all non-essential travel, testing and tracking of all incoming people, and more active case-finding and contact tracing. He warns that without a fundamental change in the current strategy of attempting to live with the virus, we are sleepwalking toward a major surge of infections in October/November this year. Professor Perry spoke on the North West Today Show, where he was first asked for his opinion on how Ireland is dealing with the virus so far:

Greetings Gunn Runner Two new singles are coming out. Selcouth progress report. Something new and different for my live streaming concerts. New songs written. And would you like to stay with me in a castle in Scotland? Another month down. Another to begin. Let’s talk about it... on show #267. 0:21 - PODCASTS The toughest thing about making podcasts is coming up with a concept. What is the show about? For the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast, it's easy. I don't usually do themes. Because they are hard to create. Even the Celtic Running Music show I ran this week. It had to pick out a good running rhythms and tap out the tempos to make sure the show picked up speed as you ran. It's much easier to just create a show and then name it after a song or an organic theme. I can't create that podcast and stress about a theme if I want to put it out every week. That's the problem I'm having with the Pub Songs Podcast. Some days I come up with a theme. Others, I have no idea. Then the show keeps getting pushed back. That's what happened with the Gen Con show. It was a couple days late before I was struck with the thought, DUH! I can just call it the Gen Con show and promote those shows. That makes the second show of August a little easier. I can make that the Dragon Con show. I still don't know what to do for the first episode. So if you have a theme idea, let me know. The other episode I did in July was a replay of Coffee with The Celtfather where I highlighted the songs of Rie Sheridan Rose. It's amazing that we've been writing songs together for probably 18 years. It's just mind-blowing. I'm so fortunate to have her helping me create music. My only sadness is that I hadn't done that episode sooner. That theme issue put Stories from the Road on the back burner this month too. I just didn't think to publish it. And here we are at the end of the month. Mikey and I published the final Firefly episode of the In the ‘Verse podcast. This was for Objects in Space. I'll be honest. I was surprised in this months Celtfather Live that I got a song request for that song. I kinda felt it was a throw away. But guess we shall see. 2:51 - VIDEOS I published two video singles this month: "The Mermaid" and "Don't Go Drinking With Hobbits". They were both from Andrew McKee's Life's a Faire webcast in June. "The Mermaid" has done pretty well with 186 views as I type. I was surprised that "Don't Go Drinking With Hobbits" didn't do better. But I guess that's the random nature of the beast. Some songs get caught up in the algorithm and do well. Others don't. The best thing about that Life's A Faire broadcast is I learned how to create video singles FROM video concerts that are posted on YouTube. This means if I get a good recording of a song or two during Coffee or Celtfather Live, I can always repost it as a video single. Boo-yah! One of the big projects in July was recording a Firefly Drinking Songs concert for Gen Con and Dragon Con. This was super cool because it was scripted show. I learned how hard it would be to create a TV series. Oy! That's because I recorded each section live. I scripted what I would say. And I tried to tell a story. The story is basically that I hijack the Cortex in order to broadcast a Bob Hope style concert for the Browncoat troops fighting during the Unification War in Firefly. It ends in disaster. It was fun to create. But it also took much of the day. And I'm still uncertain if the video quality is not as good as it should've been. You can get tickets to watch the Firefly Drinking Songs show at Gen Con. I'll tell you more about it later. As for the Dragon Con version, there are a couple parts that are different. And I'm hoping it'll broadcast on Dragon Con TV. Oh! And Mikey Mason is a guest as usual during both shows. My live streaming video concerts ran into some problems this month. Some are still not resolved as I type. Our internet router is on the complete opposite side of where my office is. So when my internet extender died right before the Celtfather Live concert this month, I've been living with crappy infrequent internet access. It's very frustrating. Coffee with the Celtfather is a challenge because of that. That said, I have a 150' chord to plug directly into the router for a special project with Andrew and a new extender is on its way. Here's hoping I can do something in time for my live streaming shows at Gen Con next week. 6:10 - IN THE STUDIO Moments before typing this I finished recording "Together", the Krabbe Connect song I mentioned last month. I got the final tracks from Daniel Briggs. He recorded bass, mandolin and octave mandolin for the song to give it a more Celtic feel. It's hilarious. As I was finishing the mix, I realized I COULD share it on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast because I added this mando reel to the intro to turn this sort of pop song into a Folk Pop song. LOL. I love it. It has a great sound. And again, as I was listening, I realized the song could actually go beyond the Krabbe Connect world. So that's an extra WIN in my book. That is not the only song I'm getting ready to release. Sam Gillogly and I confirmed that we are going to release an album called Dancing With Hobbits. This is an idea that came from the last ALEP. That's the hobbit gathering in Kentucky that I talk about a lot. We talked about recording an instrumental album of original dance music for hobbits. We recorded a track several years ago after the last ALEP, I think. That's when we started talking about this idea. But a week ago, Sam and I finally confirmed that we would make an album together. But we're gonna do it by releasing singles. The goal is to put out one a month until we release the album late next year in time for the next ALEP which is currently delayed until 2021. I am excited about this for several reasons. One of the big ones is that I LOVE traditional style Celtic music. The tunes. But because I play the autoharp, I don't really record many. Yeah. I CAN. But I don't. It just doesn't sound right. But get me a fiddle player... So hopefully, I'll have lots of new tunes to share via the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast in the months to come. Now i just have to figure out what tune comes first. And to stay on that schedule. The first one is called "Hobbit Hornpipe". I'm trying to get permission to share it with Patrons. But I'll let you know if that's possible. I made progress on Selcouth too. My parts for "Breathing" are laid. I think I need to re-record one more vocal for "Bright Side of Everything". But it's close to being done. I also laid down a track for "Kilty Pleasure", "Favor of Dance", and "Tough Times". That's pretty good progress. Though I'm already worrying about hitting my October/November deadline for Kickstarter supporters. Finally, I wrote and recorded another new song called "Back in the Ocean". It's a story about a male selkie who goes to land, has some fun, and decides life on land ain't all it's cracked up to be. He's much happier back in the ocean. 13:15 - MERCH I have not touched my Bandcamp store in quite a while. Not since I posted those new Celtic Heartstring necklaces a couple months ago. No doubt this is one reason I'm not selling great over there. But I'm happy just be creating right now. So if you haven't been, check it out. Buy something. 13:36 - TRAVEL I'm jonesing to travel. I love traveling. So I've been back on YouTube watching videos of Scotland and other places in Europe. I can't wait. I am researching the 2021 Celtic Invasion of Scotland. In fact, I booked a castle in Helensburgh, Scotland. The dates for the invasion are June 5-12. Obviously, that's assuming we are able to get out of the country to go there. But I can't hang on that. So I'm gonna plan right now. 14:51 - WEBSITES Not much is new for the Irish Song Lyrics website. Slipped out of my priorities. I still need to do the lyrics for the latest Pub Songs Podcast episodes. 15:07 - SHOWS PLANNED FOR AUGUST I don't know if I have said this before. But booking for the forseeable future will be tentative. I had two physical shows in July in Birmingham. Both were canceled. I'm booked at Pepper Place Farmer's Market in Birmingham in mid-August. I'm assuming that will be canceled too. So if there's a date on my schedule. Check in with me or the venue a few days before to see if it's happening.

This episode is an audio supplement to a six-page Pop Art feature I wrote for Classic Pop magazine, issue 13, published October/November 2014. In the podcast I interview artist and designer, Bob Linney about his record sleeve artwork for The Beloved and play track excerpts along the way. We also touch on other sleeves that he has worked on and discover how he ended up forging a long time creative relationship with Jon Marsh and The Beloved. The interview was recorded over Zoom during the COVID-19 lockdown period with Bob and I in our respective studios in East Anglia and Liverpool. Apologies for the variable recording quality. The podcast also coincides with the re-release of Happiness, an album by The Beloved, and the release of a limited edition range of screen prints that Bob made available in June 2020.

The coronavirus pandemic has not stopped the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) from preparing for the upcoming assembly elections in Bihar and the bypolls in Madhya Pradesh due in October-November and September, respectively. Although physical rallies seem to remain out of question in the near future in the wake of the Covid outbreak, the altered reality has not deterred the BJP from carrying out its political activities, including preparing for elections. The BJP has been going on with its business as usual in states such as Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan despite the pandemic. In this episode, DK Singh discusses the real purpose of BJP's virtual rallies.

The Durham and England fast bowler talks about his career in cricket and that incredible day at Lord's on 14 July 2019. Woody also chats about his imaginary horse, his batting, a prank he played on Keaton Jennings, getting back into training after the Covid-19 layoff, his desire to get a lengthy period of sound fitness and how he'd have been happy with just one England cap. Now with a combined 74 England appearances and a World Cup win that can never been taken away, Mark is not done yet. It's a great pleasure to welcome him to the Podcast and hear him take on the Cricket Badger 20 Questions.

Cast your bread. You can hold it to yourself, that special thing about you, but it is better for everyone if you ‘Cast your bread.’ Focus on the micro gifts of today. Even in winter, the children still ask if there are strawberries to pick. I manage a large vegetable garden at a primary school here in Auckland, and it always amuses me when the children ask me if there are any strawberries. They don’t yet fully understand the concept of seasons and having to wait. That there is a time to sow and a time reap. I enjoy harvest time. It’s so good to be picking fresh fruit and vegetables straight from the garden. One of the delights at the school is to pick some fresh ripe tomatoes and then slice a section and give it to a young child. The taste is so much better than store-bought. Maybe because it’s been grown in soil, without vast amounts of chemical fertilizers and sprays, but also perhaps that the children are involved in the planting and the picking. Modern Immediacy Today it’s a world of immediacy. With the quickness of internet speed, we expect to get what we want when we want it. We go to our supermarket shelves in the middle of winter and can find summer fruits and vegetables. Perhaps we have lost some sense of waiting with patient expectancy. Rhythm is built into creation, and the problem with the modern world is that you can get tomatoes at 2 am Rob Bell Cast your bread There is a strange little verse in the Bible that genuinely makes you scratch your head. Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days. Ecclesiastes 11:1 I see myself with a loaf of bread, throwing it into a river and then it coming back to me after a few days as a soggy mess. Now that is weird! So we need to go back to what the first readers would have heard—their interpretation of this cryptic passage. Cast – to cast something was to spread it out. Typically in those times, it referred to seed. A farmer would go and ‘cast’ his seed out into the fields. In these modern days, we have machines that are very precise and will drill or sow the seed to precisely the right depth and placement for optimum germination. In the days of old, it was random, rough, and ready. Bread – another reference to seed. Bread comes from milled grain. The grain is the seed. Every year at harvest time, a portion of the crop was set aside to be sown at a later date. When the season came for sowing, there better be enough seed. So, in essence, you were sowing your bread. Waters – You don’t sow seed into water, but you do sow it when you know that the soil will become wet with rain. In Israel, the early rains come in October / November to loosen up the sun-baked dirt. A farmer would go out and cultivate the soil ready for ‘water’ to fill furrows. The seed would then be cast into the ‘waters’ and germinate. Find it after many days – that little seed, sown in faith, would grow and develop and create seed itself. This would take ‘many days.’ There was not an exact date when the harvest would take place, but more a season. So many factors come into play as to how well that cereal plant would grow. Many unseen and unknown factors express themselves on that growing plant. There is a mystery, and much of its growth is beyond our control. The joy of harvest Harvest is a beautiful time. It is that moment where you know the fruit of your labor. You taste it and enjoy its freshness. You want to be forever living in that emotional happiness of reward and satisfaction. That buzz or thrill can become addictive. I want it all, I want it now, and I don’t want to have to do the work to get it. We want the delight of intimacy, but we don’t want to do the risky work of relationship building. Please relieve my emotional pain relief, but without the hard work of discovering what’s under the pain. For most of our days, we are cultivating, sowing seed, and waiting. We trust, and we hope. Confidence grows year upon year, harvest season upon harvest season. Snake Oil salesman I think there are many ‘Snake Oil salesmen’ in our world. They offer a quick fix, a panacea to our problems. In 2019 the most popular searched item on Google was ‘Disney Plus.’ We want our diversions, our harvest of buzz emotions. We want to be told ‘nice things,’ things that will make us ‘feel better.’ “They tell their preachers, “Don’t waste our time on impracticalities.Tell us what makes us feel better. Don’t bore us with obsolete religion.That stuff means nothing to us. Quit hounding us with The Holy of Israel.” Isaiah 30:8-11 We want the harvest without the sweat of cultivation and the casting of our essence to the unknown. Sowing to something beyond our control. To faith, hope, and love. The joy of the cast What if we were to take a joyful approach to the daily grind of a little movement each day. I enjoy sowing seeds. I get my little packet of seed, open up the tinfoil wrapper and sprinkle the seed on to some seedling mix compost, cover them and water and wait. The seed, in a sense, dies to its former structure. In that small dry husky shell, some water reaches in and begins the magic. Cells divide and multiply, and before long, a root comes out. Then bursting through the soil a shoot emerges. There is already a harvest of growth and change. It’s exciting. Given a few more ‘many days’ and I will be picking tomatoes and slicing cucumbers for children dulled by supermarket immediacy. I also sow seeds every week via this blog. I cast them wide and far. Some touch down on good soil and reap a harvest multiple times over. Some seed lands on stones and paths and rocky places. Parable of the Sower The important thing is to keep on sowing because there is a joy in the seed landing and taking root in people’s lives. Where are you throwing your life away Those early subsistence farmers had a choice. Do I eat the seed or not? How much I do keep for myself and my family, and how much do I set aside for sowing? The same question is ours. How much of the good are you holding in yourself? Keeping it in and not sharing what you have been given. That giftedness you have. That unique quality or skill or knowledge you alone seem to have. My mother made beautiful knitted garments. Many hours she could be seen knitting exquisite baby clothes. Her great-grandbabies wear them now, and maybe even their great-grandbabies will wear them too! Now that is what I call a harvest from casting to the waters. What would you most like to harvest in your life? Is it joy, peace, happiness, contentment? Focus on the ‘cast’ of the moment.

This week’s episode of JSE Direct is courtesy of OUTvest, our preferred supplier in retirement products. Simon Shares April was the best month for equity markets since 1987! Local ten year bonds are on a tear, just a week after we exited the World Government Bond Index the yields are back at pre-junk levels and even better as they trade below 8%. This is the search for yield playing out. If their mandate allows investors want yield, the rest they don't care about. This has also seen the Government Retail Bonds locally drop their April rate of 11.5% to 10% for May and likely will fall further in June. PMI shocker. The headline number was fine but that was due to some oddities. The real kicker was the business activity index that collapsed to an all-time low of 5.1 index points in April. During the 2008/9 crisis the lowest levels were low 30s. Oil bouncing higher, albeit at US$30 Brent is still over 50% off the January levels. Comair (JSE code: COM) went into business rescue less than a week after an update detailed no flying until October / November. They hope to be able to restructure and come back by then, but the airline industry globally is in melt down and locally we have three airlines in some form of bankruptcy (SAA and SA Express the other two). Metrofile* (JSE code: MFL) updated the market on their proposed 330c delisting and the short answer is that it is still on but is delayed indefinitely. Pratically trying to raise capital and get all the Is doted and Ts crossed is largely not practical under lockdown. But the buyer also wants to get a better understanding of the business post lockdown. I hold the stock and am happy to continue holding as I'd rather it not be delisted. But price had dropped to 220c on the news, currently 250c. Lockdown does hurt the company a little, most work in contractual. But the issue is how many clients don't survive and of those who do will they require less boxes? In very tough times for REITs Equites (JSE code: EQU) results really shone. Debt is low, distributions solid and they have very few clients not able to pay rentals as they state "since 29 February 2020, we have collected 92.8% and 100% of the contractual rental due in terms of our lease agreements in SA and the UK, respectively". This is largely as they are in the business of fancy logistics. No retail, no offices and many online customers, especially in the UK which os some 25% of their business.

In South Africa the most notable requirement is that 75% of 'distributable income' is paid to shareholders as a taxable dividend. This absolves the REIT of tax liability but that dividend received by shareholders is taxed as income, not the 20% dividend withholding tax (DWT). So depending on your marginal tax rate, it cold be higher or lower than DWT. With this in mind I asked Redefine CEO Andrew Konig about this on my show on Tuesday. The company had some 33c per unit of distributable income due to investors but did not declare it rather saying they'd decide at yearend in August 2020. This is perfectly legal as this was an interim distribution and they only need to be paid annually. Now that 75% rule is a SARS issue as it regards taxation, it is not a IFRS concept and as such it is a murky issue. So the REIT industry is engaging SARS in case some REITs can't pay the distribution. There could be lots of options such as delaying the payment and maybe spreading it our over a number of years. But if they lose REIT status frankly the property companies would unravel as the tax advantage from that status is huge and how they operate. As such I expect industry and SARS to come to some sort of agreement. But what Andrew Konig said was that liquidity issues were of more a concern for REITs. Frankly their ability to actually pay anything and liquidity is a part of the companies act so is more immovable than the SARS REIT definition and allowances. This is the bind property stocks find themselves in. Debt that needs to be paid, income (rentals under pressure) and legal requirements to pay distributable income. There is going to have to be lots of clever thinking to get through this crisis. * I hold ungeared positions. JSE – The JSE is a registered trademark of the JSE Limited.

Sorbus Domestica enthusiast Arnould Narazian of Paris France, shares his knowledge and passion for this King of all Pommes. This "Service Tree's wood was used for wooden screws used in wine presses and the fruit to help cure ailing cider and wine. This chat was recorded at Cidrexpo in February 2020 in Caen France. The main chat begins at 9:20 minutes Arnould Nazarian What are some of the cultural/traditional name for Sorbus Domestica? North of France it is called “Cormé” South of France it is referred to as “Sorb” Service Tree Spierling - German What inspired Arnould’s affection for Sorbus Domestica A dream and a visit to a train station in the north of Paris called Gare d'Achères–Grand-Cormier based to the North west of Paris in the town of Achères What are the special attributes of Sorbus Domestica? Sorb was used for making mechanical devices such as cog wheels for mills. This was very important for milling up corn and grains for food. These mechanisms came about in the Middle Ages of the 11-12th century The wood was also used for the main screw used to press both wine and olives for olive oil. And, early printing presses used Sorb wood too! Germinating Sorbus Domestica seeds Germinating Sorbus Domestica For the seeds to geminate they must be eaten by a bird or rabbit first. But Arnould has since found some other ways to germinate this King of Pommes. Source seeds in October/November - they must be immediately be placed into moist sand. Then placed in a refrigerator at 2degree Celsius or 35 degrees Fahrenheit. Then the seeds are put outdoors in March The odds of the seed germinating is 95%. Sorbs like Sandy soil Sun light Not a lot of water And the roots can be 6-8 meters down which translate to 26 feet! Sorb Fruit What does the Sorb fruit look like? The fruit of a Sorbus Domestica look like miniature apples and pears and have a range of colors from red, green, yellow and orange. The shape can be round or pear like. Are there different varieties of Sorbus Domestica? Arnould says yes, but those varieties are now lost. Sorbs though large have a special attribute that enables farmers to plant these trees in crop fields Arnould calls the leaves “Peanut Leaves” which means they are small and thus cast a very light shadow for the surrounding area The Day of the Cormé - a celebration of Sorb held in November Buy trees, marmalade, wood products, held in Normandy.

This third episode of the ‘Feminist Art’ series focuses on Paola Ugolini, an independent curator and critic. She has curated the Dior-sponsored “Io dico Io - I say I” at the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome, a major exhibition devoted to the work of Italian feminist artists, running from March 24 to June 21, 2020. Born and based in Rome, Paola Ugolini experienced the turbulent decade of the 1970s in the Italian capital as a teenager. With demonstrations a seemingly daily occurrence, she was exposed to political and, more importantly, feminist activism at a formative moment, which shaped her view of art as a powerful means of expression. A close friend of Maria Grazia Chiuri, the tradition of feminist theory and art has been an integral part of her work. From her fascination with performance and body art to embroidery and video, the mediums embraced by women to self-represent and make their voices heard have gone from once being highly experimental to now being part of the mainstream. An important part of her role, as she sees it, is to bring such work, and the messages it contains, to a new generation of women, and men. In an absorbing and enlightening exchange, she chats with Katy Hessel, a writer, curator and art historian, at the Palais de Tokyo contemporary art museum in Paris.

In the 1930s the world's best-known conservationist was an ex-trapper named Grey Owl who wrote and lectured ardently for the preservation of the Canadian wilderness. At his death, though, it was discovered that he wasn't who he'd claimed to be. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of his curious history and complicated legacy. We'll also learn how your father can be your uncle and puzzle over a duplicate record. Intro: Dutch engineer Theo Jansen builds sculptures that walk. Helen Fouché Gaines' 1956 cryptanalysis textbook ends with a cipher that "nobody has ever been able to decrypt." Sources for our feature on Grey Owl: Donald B.

https://www.facebook.com/streetmicpodcastVillage life & friendship in Carrington's Village is a three part documentary film about the way of life in a small village in Barbados. It was made by Wendell Daniel in October/November 2017. It was uploaded on Youtube in February 2019 with a very small number of views. The documentary filmmaker decided to re-release the documentary on this platform with unbelievable viewing figures. This short film is an update and a thank you to the 85k+ people who have viewed the 3 part documentary thus far (18 January 2020). Please visit our new website to find at least 14 photographs about Barbados, from a large general portfolio, which might be of interest https://streetmicpod.com or you can visit our sound-only podcast platform http://streetmic.buzzsprout.com/
