Sometimes you meet a person and know they have a story that should be shared. And that's what happened with me and Dan MacQueen. I hesitated to put resiliency in the title because the word has been almost ruined due to the hyperbolic nature of our click-bait world. Organizations preach “resiliency,” but it's more of a “barrel forward” rather than a “be strong and bounce back” type of resiliency. Dan has real resilience. We THINK we work hard. We THINK we have problems. We THINK our challenges are insurmountable and frustrating. But sometimes, when we hear a story like Dan's, we recognize that we have things pretty good. Dan's got gems. From his commentary on accountability to “post-traumatic growth;” from constructive optimism to screaming, “Can't you see I'm learning here!?” – there is much to think about and translate to your world after hearing his story. This is more than just a change in mindset. I'd say it's a change in being. Hopefully, the lessons you can pull from this episode can make change without having to go through trauma like Dan's.

This week we have a guest and I like to bring on guests. And I think if you look at all the guests that I have, they're always extremely valuable guests because I vet them out for you. I know that they have something valuable to give to you, and this week is certainly no different. As we get into the holiday seasons, as we get into all of the, the craziness of the world and everyone's very stressed and, and we hear about all the things we're supposed to be at work, we hear about all of the things like resiliency and all these buzzwords. 1:00 Um, they bother me because I don't feel like they have the proper context and, um, they don't really hit the mark in the way that they should. And so this week's guest is going to teach us in a very real way what resiliency is. And I think it's gonna be a fantastic level of perspective and a lot to learn. I've had a, a couple quick conversations with him. I've learned a lot already. 1:24 I'm very happy to have here today, Dan McQueen. Dan, welcome to the Bellwether Hub Podcast. Thank you so much for having me. So I want, Dan's got a story, which is unlike stories you've heard before. So Dan, I want you to cue everything up. We're gonna start with the story, share your story so that we can then pepper you with questions afterward. But we need that context because it's, uh, it's pretty wild ride. 1:49 So I'm gonna turn it over to you. Please tell your story. Thanks Jim. So, hello everyone. My name's Dan McQueen. Uh, until recently I was living in London, Jolly old. I moved back in September, but the story kind of takes place in 2014. I was having these headaches that got worse over a few weeks. I went to Annie twice. For those of you don't know, Annie is accident emergency in the uk. 2:13 You know, thinking these headaches were kind of serious. I should get them checked out. And I was told, Oh, no, no, they seem like they're vertigo. We've gotten some tests, they don't seem that serious. We'll send you home. They gave me some pills and they sent me home for that. But they told me on the way out if my headaches continued to get them checked at an optometrist, she's like, Okay, sure, whatever. 2:34 So the headaches persisted. They were getting real bad and I decided, You know what, I'm gonna get my eyes checked at an optometrist. Midway through the exam, he stopped it, which is not a casual move. He gave me a sealed envelope, also not a casual move, and told me to go directly to Morfield Hospital, which I did. Sort of, I stopped at home first to grab a book, Jack Richard book, actually by Lee Child. 3:00 Uh, my phone charger, some food I want somebody to eat and some supplies. But I was determinated to the bottom of what was happening with us. So Morefield Hospital turned into tear. Cross turned into, I was having brain surgery the next day because I had a non-cancerous cyst in my brain that needed to be operated on. So zero to 60 in, in a matter of hours, I'm deciding that I'm having brain tomorrow. 3:28 You know, I, I call my manager, message your friends, like, Hey, I'm having this tomorrow. Guess I won't be in Monday. Messaged my mom and she just retired. So she was able to come to London. So on June 21st, 2014, I was on the operating table. My mom was in the air flying to London, Something went wrong and had a massive bleeding. The brain of brain hemorrhage. I think the cyst burst when they operated. 3:53 So my mom lands and finds them in critical condition. I was in a coma for four weeks. What was in and outta consciousness for months after that, when all was said and done, I was learning how to walk, talk, and smile again. So, needless to say, this kind of rocked my world and rocked my family's world. Um, I remember waking up in the hospital with my brother, mom and dad around me, and, and I go, I can't talk. 4:20 Cause I had a breathing tube removed and I couldn't talk. And I go, Gimme a pen and paper. I write down, I point at my brother, I go, You point down. And I write down the pen and paper. I go, Get me out of here to my brother because I didn't think I had any insurance for this stuff. And I was thinking, you know, he'll bust me outta here. Let's get outta here. 4:43 So needless to say he didn't, and thank goodness he didn't. Cause I was in the hospital for months after that. But that's how things all kicked off for me, Jim, which is, so I could take this in many different directions. Um, one is the perspective on, obviously you didn't plan for this and obviously this kind of jacked up whatever plans you had eight years ago, and that's one, right? We never know when something like this could potentially happen. 5:16 But two is the recovery, right? I mean, uh, a bleeding in the brain, learning to walk, learning to talk, learning to smile again, and being able to then build a business, get back with your family, build a life, do all of these things after. I wanna talk about both of those. Um, where do you want , where do you wanna start? Talk to me first about the recovery, because if you're sitting in the hospital for months, um, obviously this is a, so you're in a coma for a month in and outta consciousness for months. 5:50 Recovery has to be intense. Talk to me a little bit about that. Yeah, for sure. So, you know, I was, my leg frozen at an angle in the icu, the intensive carry unit. So my left leg was essentially jacked up and I couldn't use it. I couldn't go ahead and walk. I was in a wheelchair, right? So getting in from the bed to the wheelchair took 30 minutes, then 25, then 20 and 15, then then 10, then seven and six and eight, then 10, then five. 6:20 Everything was difficult. Everything was hard. Earned wins. And it took forever to end that bloody wheelchair. But you keep chipping away at this. And then I was transferable to the Wilson Rehab Center. I remember telling my dad when this happened, you know, I made a few thoughts in my head, like strategies to how I'm gonna recover. And the first one was speed. And that was one that I identified earlier is like, this is crucial. 6:41 I need to go fast if I'm gonna go far. I told my dad, you know, you have to apply for these rehab centers. I go, Hey dad, make this happen. Thinking like, I don't know, he's gonna like grease the wheels. I make something happen. Like, get me in this rehab center asap. Cause I want to get after this rehab as clearly as I can. Now, I don't think you did, but I got into Wilson Rehab Center, which is great. 7:05 Uh, but when I first got to Wilson Rehab Center, I couldn't walk right? I know to walk in. So they were doing this experimental, I dunno if it's experimental, but they were doing this, this rehab where they inject your, your muscle with Botox, like the stuff you put in your lips and face for women, it kinda relaxes the muscle and allow to stretch it back to normal. So they use this needle. 7:26 It was probably about, well it's probably about this big to be honest, but it felt like it was a sword going in the back of your leg. And then they would give you this, um, I word this splint every night. Splint was like a cast, and now it was horrifically painful and I never whinged about anything in the hospital, but the splint, I would be like, Oh, this, this fucking splint. Um, I hated the splint because it was so bloody painful. 7:48 And I always say it's painful. And everyone goes, Okay, sure dad. I'm like, No, no, no. You have no idea how painful this was. I'll share a story with you now. Jim kind of talks about how painful the splint was. So the first time I wore the splint all the way through night, no issue, no stress, this will be easy. I thought this will be easy. I'm looking forward to, this will be great. 8:07 I'm stretching in the day and the nighttime, and then rehab during the day. The second night after 20 minutes, it was painful. After 30, it was dreadful. After 40 was unbearable, we took the splint off. But we decided to do one hour a night with the splint, because I wanted to walk, I wanted to get back to walking. And how I get back to walking was stretching the leg. So the third night they wrapped splint up, They gimme the clicker. 8:32 We set the time on the phone for one hour. Now the, the ward of the Wilson's in L shape, so small on this side, long on this side, okay? And after 10 minutes, it's painful. After 20, it's dreadful. After 30, it's unbearable. And I'm thinking, we're doing this for an hour. This is insanity. What was I thinking? An hour. This is ridiculous. I start passing the clicker back and forth to distract myself from the pain. 8:58 Now I have double vision, which means I can't see anything. I'm feeling this and I miss one of my tosses and it crashes on the floor. Shit. I look over the edge of the bed, I see the clicker on the floor, the solution to my problems on the floor. The only problem is I'm splinted up. I can't move. And the floor is about three and a half feet on the ground. Help help by yell. 9:22 Wilson Rehab Centers, this and L Shape, they're on the far side of the ward. They can't hear me. No one's coming. We're 30 minutes on the board, which means they're gonna come back and maybe, well, maybe 30, but maybe 40, maybe 50. They might have gone to heating for all I know, Jim, they might have gone forever. I don't know where they're gone. The solution to my problem's right there. The only problem is it's three and a half feet on the ground on the Oleum. 9:42 If I drop down under the bed, I, I, I did some quick mass in my mind, not my strong suit. I'll be honest with you, Jim and I decided that it's about a 50 50 chance, me breaking my arm, a 50 50 shot. So, but if I break my arm at least can click the clicker, get the splint off, and then they can fix my arm. If I don't go for the clicker, I'm stuck here waiting for them to come back and hoping kinda like a metaphor for this whole thing. 10:08 You can't wait for someone to come save you. So I decide to risk it and grab the clicker. I crash down in the heap, I flip the coin and the arm holds. I hammer the clicker click, expect them to come burst into the room to come to my rescue. Nay, they kind of strolled in five minutes later. What are you doing on the floor, Dan? Well, let's not worry about that right now. 10:29 Let's get the leg off, bleed the split off my leg and get me sorted out there. But I learned some lessons from this. Uh, the first being don't pass the clicker back and forth with double vision. That's a bad idea. That's a good lesson, That's a great lesson. Uh, I really recommend that. The second being do the splint up at the hip, not at the ankle so I could undo it. Should this happen again? 10:50 Luckily it never did. But like things like that, that you're always kind of learning and iterating on this, just as in life, like you, you realize like, I failed at this process. Let's do it better next time, better than yesterday is one thing that I always try to exhume or like to try and portray and like demonstrate. And this was a prime example of let's, you know, let's not make the same mistake twice or at least not three times, maybe twice sometimes. 11:18 But that's to show you how painful display was. I was willing to risk breaking my arm, flipping a coin for the arm 50 50, shot a break of my arm to get the splint off my leg because it was so painful. But it was, it was very much a grueling rehab process. Like I moved from the splint to walking on the Zimmer frame, which is a four post thing that you kind of lurch forward on. 11:40 And every step you take, Jim, it reminds you you're alive. I'll tell you that much. I had a grim on my face. There's a great photo I've got. I can pass it to your team afterwards. I've got this, like this, this scowl on my face where I'm just walking and trotting on. I moved up to the Ferrari, which is, um, a four wheeled walker that you kind of walk fast on, you can kind of waddle quickly on this. 12:04 And I moved up to Naked Walks. Now Naked Walk was walking without support, raids, just notice like gamification here. Like I'm kind of having fun while I'm doing this. And I kind of progressed the walking space, right? Like it was quite a, quite a progression there. But that should give us something to chat about there. Jim, is there anything that catches your eye? Well, yeah, it's, so one, people forget about how long an hour is right. 12:30 An hour takes forever when you're in an excruciating pain. And you know, I get annoyed when I have to sit and watch the kid for 10 minutes and they're yelling. But this is, you know, this is kind of a different element. But what's what I take away from that is, um, what you said, you can't wait for someone else to help you, right? When you calculate, you have to know what you have to do there. 12:51 There's a little bit about knowing what it's gonna take to get what you need, but there is an efficacy and accountability aspect in terms of, you know, I'm ultimately responsible for my comfort or helping myself in this moment. I'm ultimately responsible for this and this is my current situation. And, and now it's up to me to do this. Um, talk to me about how you're almost going for, you know, it goes beyond that. 13:16 It goes beyond falling outta the bed. It goes into now up to the Ferrari kinda walker, and it goes into the naked walks. Ultimately, this is you and you had to gamify and come with it in your mind. Talk to me about your mind process a little bit. Yeah. So it's not your fault, but it's your responsibility. It's not your fault, but it's your responsibility. So it's like, well, the drop from the record was probably my fault to be honest, but either way it's my responsibility to fix the solution. 13:44 Like, I gotta kind of resolve this. And the mindset was so key because your mindset's everything, right? Like, I'll share another story with you, Jim, that I think you're kind of, you're, you're teaming me up for. Here is something I call constructive optimism. And this is learning to walk and tune Broadway. This kinda goes to showcase the mindset that I've adopted this process soon to walk in tune Broadway, from the naked walks to the Zimmer frame, to the, to the naked walks, to walk in tune Broadway. 14:11 Now tuning Broadway, for those of you that don't know is in South London who they call up and coming, which means it's on the verge of like sketchiness. What kind of like sexing up that like developers can call it up and coming, which means like, like 10 years time will be popping, but it's been up and coming for 10 years. So you never know. But needless to say, it's a bit of a difficult place to learn to walk again. 14:34 I'm walking with a cane, I'm walking with an eye patch. I'm a unit out there while I'm Bambi Ice, to be honest, I turn the corner on Broadway the first time and get bumped and by someone pretty hard, stagger back and okay, cut off by someone else or someone bleeding on the sidewalk beside me. I'm like, this is wild place to how to walk. People kept bumping into me, crashing past me. 14:55 This is the worst place to learn to walk in the world. Can't you see? I'm trying to learn here. Can you see, I'm trying to walk here like, gimme a freaking slack, man. I was so frustrated and dejected by this because I'm trying real hard here and you guys aren't giving me any slack. But I was like, and I was like, this was days that I was dejecting, like,Oh, I gotta walk Broadway. 15:15 This place sucks. This is the worst place I'm gonna walk in the world. And then one day my perspective shifted. This isn't the worst place to learn how to walk in the world. This is the best place. Because if I can walk here, I can walk anywhere, bumping me, crash past me, bring it on, I look forward to my walks, I look forward to that contact because that's teaching me in the best place to how to walk in the world. 15:37 Now, tune Broadway didn't change, right? It's still tune Broadway, but it went from the worst to the best in my head. And my mood reflected that I began looking forward to my walks bumping into me, crash fasting, bringing on this is all I want. That's like an example of like how my mindset adapted to this process. Like if I'm, if I think about it differently, the outcome will be different. And I knew that, like, I think how I came up with this mindset shift was how am I gonna think through this problem? 16:09 I'm frustrated by walking into Broadway. How can I make it less crap in my mind, this is the worst place started to walk in the world. I'm like, well, why is the worst? Cause it's the most difficult. People bump into you, crash past you. Like, well, couldn't that also be the best? Because that way you're stress testing isn't the best place to walk in the world. I was like, well, maybe it is. 16:28 And then I started bringing out that mindset. And when I did that, my whole world changed. Like I, I began looking forward to those walks and, and when you look forward to what you're doing, it makes all the bloody difference. And I think that's through this whole process, I began shifting my perspective on like, well is this the worst or is this the best? And like, don't get me wrong, I'm not in delusions of this is like a good experience, but it's the experience you're in right now. 16:54 And like I said, it's not your fault, but it's your responsibility. So like I have the responsibility of learning to walk in and I can choose it for it to be the worst, or I can choose for it be the best, but I choose that and I want to choose it the best because then I can adapt this and take it on board. Hope that answers your question, Jim. Well it does. 17:13 Yeah. And it's, you know, it goes back to the responsibility, right? It's not your fault that you're learning to walk there, but it's your responsibility to do it. And you, I would say your mindset is part of that responsibility. We often talk about responsibility and accountability in terms of getting things done, but the way that we approach getting things done is also our responsibility as well. And you said something nice in there and you know, nobody would cut you slack. 17:38 And I also love where you say, Hey, I'm learning here, right? So if you were to take this out of the context and put it in anybody else's context in terms of learning a new role or learning something new, it's a vulnerable moment. It's a difficult moment and say, Hey, I'm learning here. Nobody's gonna cut you slack regardless. But it's still your responsibility to learn. It's still your responsibility to change that kind of mindset. 17:59 Do you have any, I mean, that sounds good. We hear people about positive mindset all the time and you just have to change the way you think. Um, any tips on what, you know, what made it easier for you to do that? Right? I like to give people the tangibles. Is it, you know, knowing that it's gonna get easier or knowing that this is the hardest and you're gonna find cooler places to go? 18:21 Or how do you find the way to enjoy something that you absolutely didn't look forward to? Well, thank you Jim. That's a great question. I think like I'm, I wouldn't say I'm an like an academic at all, but like I do think about things quite a lot and quite in my own mind. And I thought about this like as I mentioned, like this is the worst. Well, why is it the worst? 18:44 Break it down for me. Why is this the worst place? And I mention those reasons, like, well, people bump into you, they crash past you, it's crowded, it's dirty, it's busy, it's hectic. I'm like, well, if you're learning to walk again, wouldn't you wanna learn to walk in the, in that kind of environment? Because that's stress testing you in this difficult situation. You wanna be fed, spoon fed this stuff, You wanna be stress testing this in the worst environment in the world. 19:06 So in fact, it's not the worst, it's the best. I really made a conscious effort of thinking through this process and I knew that like, look, there's been a number of peaks and valleys in this process, Jim. And, and I knew that like my mindset was gonna be so key for all this, the way I thought about it is so huge. Like, there's a great quote from epics that I use quite a lot a through line in my talk. 19:26 As a matter of fact, it's not what happens to you, but how you react to it in the matters. It's not what happens to you, but how you react with the matters. And with the brain hemorrhage, that's like a, a big blow. It's like, okay, but it's not a death blow. And how can you react? How can you learn from this? How can you like stress test yourself to like pick the stuff on board? 19:48 Um, I guess to answer your question, like how would you reframe this? Like when you're lying in the hospital bed for hour than end and you got lots of time to think and I just thought about how can I beat this? How can I gamify this and make it more fun to, to accomplish these goals and walk? And like you mentioned, the Ferrari, the naked walks, like, I'm having fun here. Um, which is a big part of this process. 20:09 Like how can I make this fun to do? And I kind of reveling, like, I think like my friend introduced me to this, this concept of posttraumatic growth. I don't mean to jump ahead here, but I'll mention this briefly. And that's like, you know, this posttraumatic stress, which is like when you are, let's say you're in Afghanistan or something, like a night like a bomb goes off and you're, you carry that with you for years and, and it haunts you for years. 20:38 Posttraumatic growth kind when something bad happens, but you kind of raise up to the challenge and beyond that, so like now every time something bad happens, I raise up to it. So for instance, this past summer I got let go from my job at Hootsuite, which I was at for nine years. I got nothing but love for sweet, don't get me wrong, but losing your job is never a good vibe. Right now the stages of grieving are like five stages. 21:04 I've managed to kind of condense this down to like feeling shitty acceptance. Went for a booie lunch that afternoon. I went to the Apple store, I got a new computer cuz the next day I was hammering the speaking gig. What a great opportunity is for me to get my speaking career, going to speak organizations and companies about my perspective and mindset, how you can use this to be better than yesterday. I gave myself a lunch to feel bad and down. 21:31 And then I was like, you know what? We're getting afters tomorrow. We're getting s today. Like I went to the Apple store that day and the stages agreed have been kind of been condensed to like feeling bad and acceptance is at the bottom. And I kind just fast forward to acceptance because you can wish something didn't happen, but at the end of the day, it doesn't move you forward. You can wish all you want, but wishings not gonna do anything. 21:53 Wishing the brain hemorrhage didn't happen is not gonna do anything. Wishing the setback didn't happen is not gonna do anything. Wishing the job loss isn't gonna happen, isn't gonna do anything. I could be wishing this for like a year and then at end of that year I'll still be well at square one when I could have been taking steps to progress myself if you accept it and move forward, like everything's, everything's on me. 22:12 Everything's my fault, or at least my responsibilities. I mentioned like, it's not, my father lost my job, but it's my responsibility to do something about it now and now I get to pursue my speaking career that afternoon. So it's like the mindset's so key for this because if you believe it in yourself and you believe it in your soul, like your body will follow. And I'm not saying this as like lip service of like, you should do this and you should have this positive mindset of great vibes. 22:42 Like no, it's not, it's not woo-hoo on you. It's like this is how I live my life. This is how I progressed and navigated these situations. And they weren't easy, but it was simple to kind of navigate it because once you made that mind up, it's like, oh no, I'm not going right here. I'm going right around the corner. It's right around the bend. You kinda understand the road, you can kind of see the map and showcase where you want to go. 23:08 That's a rant and a half there, Jim. But I hope that gives you some context what I'm thinking about. No, it does and I love posttraumatic growth. It's, um, and it almost goes hand in hand where it's for anything, right? Whether it's a new venture, whether it's a job you hate, whether it's going to a networking event, it's how do I make this fun? How can I actually enjoy myself today? Because we've got to judge a mindset going into these things of misery and difficulty. 23:31 And, but logically it's, you know, you are an individual that was before, now you are an individual that had a brain hemorrhage, so it doesn't change anything. Um, but I almost feel like, you know, post-traumatic growth is almost like tolerance. The more you meet it, the more you're able to handle and the more you do it, the more you're able to, It's part of growing and learning after it. Would you agree with something like that? 23:57 A hundred percent. And also it's important to know the hardest thing you've ever been through is the hardest thing you've ever been through. So when I do my talk and it's like, well, I'm not gonna have a brain hemorrhage, so like I don't need to know your talk because that's not it. It's like, well sure, like a job loss and a brain hemorrhage is not the same thing, but the mindset you use to adapt to a brain hemorrhage can be used on someone who loses a job or loses a loved one or gets a diagnosis. 24:21 The adversity and resilience you need to fostering yourself to navigate this is the same, same steps. Like to understand what it is and to get that acceptance piece. Because the faster you can get to acceptance, the faster you can progress. Acceptance doesn't mean it's fair, doesn't mean it's even, doesn't mean it is justified, but it means it is what it is. Don't worry about what you can't control. Control the controllables. It's something that I always say. 24:45 And if you worry about stuff you can't control, you're not gonna get anywhere. You can just spin your tires forever and ever and ever. I just punt that if I can't control it, I punt it. I give zero zero f's about it. Like, I'm not worried about stuff I can't control. Can I influence it? Yes. No. If no, zero zero f's with that, if yes, then I worry about this and I and I take on more would I can do, um, I've lost track of your question now, Jim would hopefully that offers some perspective. 25:11 No, it does. Yeah. And it's, you know, as, as we think about the responsibility you have, we've talked before this about, you know, feeling sorry for yourself, right? And I feel like that's a step in between of situation happens. And then you've got the acceptance in between. There's the feeling. Sorry. Do you eliminate that or how do you overcome that? I mean, it's, it's one thing to say, Oh, we'll just have fun so I won't feel sorry for myself, but people deal with, you know, traumatic events, which shouldn't be skipped over. 25:41 I mean, what happened to you was a traumatic event and yet you're not feeling sorry for yourself, right? You're, you're flipping this into an opportunity, so how do you, and that, that's difficult. I guess everybody does it differently, but talk about feeling sorry for yourself I think would be something very relevant and you'd almost get the agency to do that where people would say, Yeah, I get it. Talk to me about, you know, feeling sorry for yourself. 26:03 Do you ever, and and how do you change that mindset? Well, I'll give you like the example of the lowest I've ever been in my life, Jim, which is, so the setback happened, I got back to walk and got back to work, um, for two months and then I had a second setback that happened. I was found unconscious in my flap by my mom. The sh that's in my brain had blocked leading to hydrocephalus or water on the brain. 26:30 It resulted in an ambulance ride, another bad haircut and a new medical alert bracelet. So I had traumatic brain surgery because the shunt blocked. And I woke up in the hospital for the second time here in the beeping of the, the, the heart rate monitors. Not the respirator this time, but the heart rate monitors is what, what happened? What happened? Like, well, Dan, you had a second setback, you need emergency brain surgeon. 26:53 Like what do you mean? He's like, Well, you're back in the hospital. This happened two days ago. You're working on getting back to normal. Like, so this happened again. Yeah, it's very rare. It happens less than 10% of case. And like, okay, and na was I low like all my progress, I just got back to work. And you're telling me that's ripped away from you. Like,like overnight I was, oh, talk about a pity party, man. 27:22 I was woes me for a couple days, couple of days of straw. Like, well this isn't fair, this isn't fair at all. Like, it's not fair. You're right. And where's that thinking gonna get you? Like I could be woes me poopy pants the whole time or I could just, you know what, I know how to build back better. I know how to do this. I've done this once before, this time I can walk so I'm not in the same position I would before I can get back to work and progressively build back towards whatever I'm doing. 27:51 I already been through rehab, so I wasn't entitled to go through rehab again, which is a big knock. I use all my own at home through like phone conferences or like in person meets at my home flat. Like that was tremendously low. And I gave myself a few days to feel bad and low, but I knew that at the end of the day, like I said, it's not my fault, but it's my responsibility. 28:13 No one, no one's coming to save you. Like if you want to get outta this hole, you're gonna have to chop wood carry water is what I say, which means like, get to work, like progressively get to work, chop wood, carry water, put the work in and get your perspective right to like build back up. Like it's not, And that was like, that was pretty low, Jim, I'm not gonna lie to you. 28:36 That was like, everyone's against me. Why is this, why is this happened to me? This isn't fair. And that's wrong, it's not fair, but at the end of the day, it's not gonna get you anywhere. I can say it's not fair to the home. Right. Bless you. Doesn't change anything. How about this, talk to me about, I didn't know you before this, obviously. Yeah. Um, how has this entire experience, cha, I mean, we know it changed you, okay, Yes, obviously, but how does it change your belief system? 29:12 Has it solidified one in, in your mind? Do you feel like you have a new perspective on responsibility? I'm sure you do, but you know, would you say that you're capable almost of more now than you were before based on mindset? Talk to me a little bit about your belief system and, and what's changed over the last eight years now? Thanks Jim. That's a good question. I think before this happened, I was really happy to go lucky guy. 29:38 I still am, but everything came easy to me, or at least I made it seem like it did. I kind of figured out a way to work things like with, with life, with work with girls. Like everything just kind of came easy to me. And then this brain hammer happenss and everything's stripped away and nothing's easy. You know, getting into a wheelchair takes 30 minutes and 25, then 20, then 15. Like, it's like every ounce of me is going into this. 30:06 And like, I really made effort not to show that I was trying before this happened. And after it happened, I want show that I'm trying because I am trying, I'm trying my damage to make this happen. My perspective's changed dramatically, Jim, it's like everything on me now. I, I've read this book, um, Extreme Ownership by Jaco Will, I'm not sure if you've read that one. Essentially it goes everything on me. Everything's my responsibility. 30:30 Everything's my fault. Everything's in my power to control and improve. And I'm kind of a self-help junkie. I, I love improving myself and, and finding little hacks to make things better and easier. So I've got a great morning routine. So I'll, I'll wake up early, go for exercise workout, go for a meditation, go for cold shower, like have these habits that I put in place to kind of make myself be better than yesterday. 31:00 So my perspective's changed tremendously, Jim, and it's been because of this experience, because I've had to navigate this, I've had to navigate this. If I didn't, I would wouldn't be here. I believe that I'm, I am where I am today because of the habits I put in place and I am where I am today because of the mindset I put in place to allow me those habits. Talk to me about your hacks. 31:21 Um, you talked a little bit about constructive optimism I think is probably a hack. You've got your morning routine and the habits, which is setting yourself up for success. Do you have any favorite hacks that you could share with people that you'd wanna, you know, is one of those your best or, or what would you wanna, what would you wanna share on that? I got one that I'll share with you, Jim, and one that I mentioned earlier, I think, uh, is called ice icebreakers, icebreakers. 31:48 So when you're walking with double vision and you're like, fatigue is a big thing with me and I'm seeing two, like I see two of you right now, right? So my brain's processing two and the mind the wheels are spinning. It's a lot of bandwidth and energy to like do this. Any chance I can say bandwidth, I do that because it allows me to be better for longer. I say that like I'm walking around at 75% battery and I wake up every minute. 32:14 I wake up is like 74, 73, 72. When I get below 50, I'm a less pleasant. Below 30, I'm a bit of a prick. I need to meditate to recharge and refresh that. But icebreaker is one thing that I use to like walking in a busy city. So you're from New York. I used to live in London. So the circuses in London are just out of bloody circus. Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Circus, Chaos. It's madness. 32:41 I founded this hack called an icebreaker. So what you wanna do is find the fellow pedestrian walk in your direction and walk behind them in their slip stream. And they're wake in their, in their ice break wake. If you would let them face the oncoming traffic and you walk behind them and that saves bandwidth because you're not dealing with the frontal abrasive walking through, you're getting the wake of their walking like an icebreaker would. 33:03 So like you just followed behind the icebreaker and this seems like a stupid hack and it is stupid, but like, it, it saves little bits of bandwidth and allows me to be better for longer. Because if I don't do this, if I'm the guy breaking the ice, it just drains your battery more. And that battery's so important to me now that I wanna protect it at all costs. And it's a fun way of me to identify these when I'm walking through the surfaces in London, like a, um, a stroller or a pram, a great icebreaker because it takes a lot of space, like a couple walking root iceberg. 33:36 Think about space, you walk behind them and let them take the frontal impact. I've also got another one, Jim, that I'll share with you is, um, timer on the phone. So, or alarm on the phone. Let's say if you remember something you wanted to do, you set the alarm on your phone, let's say, I don't know, it's 10 30 my time in Vancouver. So I set it for like three o'clock and writing on my phone saying, emailed Jim speaking assets. 34:01 That's alarm three 30. And then I, when the alarm goes off at three 30, I check my phone to know that, oh, I gotta email Jim the speaking assets and I would've forgotten that otherwise, or timer on my phone if I'm, you know, scrolling Instagram or, or uh, YouTube at nighttime before bed. I'll send my time for 10 minutes for 15 minutes when the timer goes off time to bed. Like I use the phone to help me be better and to remind me to keep on track. 34:31 So it's a way that I've kind of hacked my life because I need those hacks now because things aren't as easy as they used to be for me. A lot of work to keep this on the, on the tracks, right? And if I don't do those things, things slip and I don't wanna be slip. I'm trying to, trying to keep myself looking a certain way, presented a certain way, being a certain way. 34:52 Yeah, and it sounds, I mean if you were to take that metaphorically, it's almost your icebreaker could be your social network, your, um, use of technology in a way to keep you focused rather than distract your focus. Um, and it's just being intentional with all of the actions because right, we, everyone's got a drain battery. Um, and it's important to keep that focus and, and, and keep it at its max. What's, um, so you said before speaking assets. 35:19 Talk to me a little bit about what's next for you, How anything anyone could do to support you. I know you're, you're big on the speaking circuit now. Talk to me a little bit about that. Yeah, thanks Jim. Uh, I'm going into speaking full bo like I'm, I'm trying to make a difference and share my perspective and change your team's perspective. Like I've got like a whole treasure tro full of assets and hacks and mindsets and perspective that I can impart on your team to help 'em shift their perspective and, and shift how they view things. 35:52 I've identified a few problems that I can really help address regards to retention, helping your team understand, you know, what they've got, their perspective where they're at and help save you retention. Also culture. Uh, I really think I can impart someone into culture and understand what they've got and just how do they view things differently. That perspective of like the worst to the best help you impart that. In the last one, I think it really pairs the sales training. 36:18 Uh, we've spent a lot of money on sales training these days. See these big booms after the sales training, but after, after a few months, it reverts back to medium and it dips down. What's missing is the perspective and the mindset. You wire the house properly. Let me show you how to turn on the switch. If I can give your team the tools, the assets, the perspective needed to be better than yesterday, maybe that stays higher, longer, above the median. 36:42 But my passion speaking, Jim and I really wanna share the lessons learned because it would be a shame to leave these lessons learned on the sidelines of life. I paid for these in blood, sweat, and tears and I've fallen down seven times to get up eight and I'm busting my ass to make this happen. And I've, I've paid for these price, I've paid steep price for these and I paid them by touching the stove Nova Hot. 37:05 And sometimes I forget that it's hot and I touched it. Again. Let me tell your team that, uh, I want to, you know, I'm really driven to do this because I wanna make a difference and I wanna make, impart the lessons I've learned with your team. I think that's something I'd love for your audience, you know, feel, please feel free to reach out to me as a speaker. I've done a lot of online and in person speaking opportunities. 37:32 Uh, as I mentioned, the job loss this summer was a knock but not a death blow and a good opportunity for me to get the speaking going on, on as a full-time gig now. So that's the best way I can imagine Reju and that's, you know, best done over LinkedIn or websites can be uphold the next week. And that's queen dan.com. Perfect. Very good. So McQueen dan.com, find 'em on LinkedIn. We, we usually wrap these up, Dan, with book recommendations. 38:02 Uh, I got two for you man, and I got two questions for you afterwards, if you don't mind. Of course, you can ask away. I know you told me that before we started recording and I'm very nervous about what your questions are going to be. So I had two books for you. One fiction, one non-fiction. The first is a nonfiction. You heard of this one No Spark. So it's like a Myers Briggs test, but it's like a more modified version. 38:25 Help you identify what lights you up in work. So for instance, my work sparko type is the sage or the advisors, the my type and the sage is my shadow. And the essentialist is my anti type, which means like I get drained by doing like admins, but I get, I get really fired up by offering advice or, or listening and offering some perspective on both elements of that. So that's my nonfiction, which is good that you're getting into speaking now, by the way. 38:55 Very good. Exactly. Yep, exactly. It's a good fit, right? Yep. And my fiction is actually a book my dad wrote. Oh, nice. Called Hero Haters. This came out recently. It's a, it's a, it's a thrill book based on, um, a gripping tale of uh, an author who gets, you know, part of the hero medals. They start disappearing. There's a big mystery around, this is his first book. He was a journalist for his whole career and his first publish book. 39:27 He is getting a lot of good reviews on this. You can buy this on Amazon or Good Reads or Indigo in Canada, but it's called Hero Haters. And I really recommend this. I haven't finished it myself. I'm working my way through it, but it's a great book. I will read it. That's perfect. Uh, Jim, can I ask you a few questions? Do it. You ready for this? You've been ready. Um, so question one, if you could go back in time, you go back in time and ask your younger self or tell your younger self some hacks or truths about podcasting before you started this, what would they be? 40:07 From what you know now, um, truths about podcasting you've learned about podcasting With what I've learned about one, number one is just get started because nobody's gonna listen to it at the beginning. So you can always make your practice ones that if you don't like it, you can delete it. But as long as you take the effort to put it in and you get the practice down, eventually you'll put it out. 40:33 That's one too. When you do put it out and people do listen to it, nobody's gonna give you the negative feedback you thought you were gonna get. Right. And people are incredibly supportive and that's great. Um, and so I guess if I were to wrap that up is do it. Take that risk and don't worry what other people are doing because it's not a race. Build your own. That would be my advice. 40:57 That's a good question. See a pretty easy question. Pretty easy question. Second one. Yeah. Um, you've spoken to a wide variety of guests around a wide variety of subject matters. What are some lessons you've learned yourself from these interviews that you like hold dear to your heart and you kind of take on board with your, in your everyday life? Um, everyone on the planet has something interesting to share and it's, um,you know, if you look at my guests, the majority of my guests, uh, are normal people in extraordinary circumstances or with really good just things that we don't really focus on, right? 41:45 All the way back to my first episode on, uh, a guy who does lean, he's a good friend of mine in a bank, how he implemented lean processes into his house to keep the family organized. I thought it was super awesome. Um, friends who are public speaking coaches giving their advice, people like you who have had incredible things happen to them and how they're resilient in a real resiliency way and have come back and could share their wisdom. 42:09 Um, everybody on the planet has something excellent to share would be my my one thing to say to that. Um, and that's probably what I take away from all my guests. Jim, that's fantastic. I hope I answered them okay. No, those was a very good question. Thank you. Very good answers. Thank you. I think they're really good to know because you've had the experience of speaking with so many people. I was really curious to see what Latin with you and what was a big takeaway. 42:34 That's good to know. Everyone's got something interested to say. I like their laugh. They do. Yeah. It's, you know, they just don't know to say it. Um, or they don't necessarily have the opportunity. But Dan, you had the opportunity today and I appreciate it. This is, um, this is, you know, it's an incredible story and it's an amazing lesson. And as things go so quickly, if anything it'll make someone hear this reevaluate what's important, reevaluate their own particular situation, get some good perspective on, you know, the difficulties that, that we could be facing and everything else. 43:10 If I made Jim, Yeah, life happens for you, not to you. Mm-hmm.. And I believe that with all my heart. Like, I get up every day and I'm like, I get to do this. And you know, stuff can happen to you that kind of sets you back and it's like, you know what, You get to do this, you get to navigate through this difficult time. And now I feel not invincible cause that's the wrong word, but like, what are you gonna come at me with, man? 43:38 Like, what, what is the world gonna throw me that's gonna be so shocking and, and perplexing for me not to navigate? It's like, well, I'm losing my job this summer. Like, well that was a, that was a blow for sure. That's a heart blow. But like, compared to what I've been through, that's like a very minor blip on my radar. And like when you start addressing this difficult stuff, you start dealing able to realize that you can navigate this in a better way. 44:02 One hack, one more hack I wanna share with your team here. Jim, is cold showering? Yes. Sounds off putting. Sounds gross. I know I was a bit of an apprehensive guy myself back in the day. Now I shower and I had cold every day for two to three minutes and I had hyperventilate and I forced myself to go into a stressful state. And I get outta that shower and you're still warm from the shower, but you get little, little sleeve of cold on and you just feel invigorated and, and take on the day. 44:34 But you're making yourself go into that hardship every day on purpose. That one you face in real life. You can navigate this in a much more pragmatic and thoughtful way. I'm telling you this, try the cold shower, Jim, have you tried this cold shower before? I I do a cold shower every morning. Absolutely. You start I started it during the pandemic, I start warm and then at the end I turn it to cold.

L'alimento su cui si concentrano di più le frodi in Italia è, senza dubbio, l'olio extravergine d'oliva. Guardia di Finanza e Ispettorato centrale repressione frodi del Ministero delle politiche agricole hanno scoperto, sul territorio italiano e proveniente dall'estero, un enorme volume di olio classificato come extravergine, il migliore, che alle analisi è invece risultato olio vergine d'oliva. Ma qual è la differenza? Comporta rischi per il consumo o si tratta di una frode commerciale? Nel nuovo episodio del podcast di Cucina Naturale Venetia Villani, giornalista e tecnologa alimentare, commenta l'operazione “Verum et Oleum” e spiega le differenze tra olio vergine ed extravergine, ma non solo.

Thế Chiến I : Lính thợ Việt Nam trong Nhà máy thuốc súng Saint-Chamas, Pháp

TẠP CHÍ VIỆT NAM

Chủ Nhật 07/11/1915, con tầu Latouche-Tréville chở 994 công nhân Đông Dương xuất phát từ cảng Hải Phòng cập cảng Marseille. Họ nằm trong số những người đầu tiên trên 90.000 lính tập và lính thợ đến chung tay giúp "Mẫu quốc" trong Thế Chiến I cho đến khi hồi hương vào những năm 1919-1920 sau khi thỏa thuận đình chiến được ký ngày 11/11/1918. Lực lượng này được phân chia về nhiều địa phương ở vùng Provence, miền nam Pháp, trong đó Saint-Chamas là nơi đón nhiều lính thợ Đông Dương nhất, 1.287 người tính đến ngày 01/04/1918. Saint-Chamas là một thành phố nhỏ, nằm bên bờ Ao Berre (Etang de Berre), đầm nước mặn lớn thứ hai châu Âu, nơi có Nhà máy Thuốc súng Quốc gia (La Poudrerie de Saint-Chamas) nổi tiếng. Nhà máy không ngừng được mở rộng để sản xuất các loại bột thuốc súng và pháo. Từ diện tích 1,5 hecta khi được vua Louis XIV thành lập năm 1690, nhà máy mở rộng thành 60 hecta vào năm 1905 và tăng thêm hơn hai lần, thành 135 hecta, vào năm 1917 để phục vụ chiến tranh, do đó liên tục cần nhân lực. Bà Brigitte Sabattini, chuyên gia về di sản, giảng viên đại học Aix-Marseille, giải thích : « Lính thợ Đông Dương cập cảng Marseille và đến khu tập trung lao động thuộc địa. Đây là đơn vị chịu trách nhiệm lập các nhóm nhân công, gồm ít nhất là 30 người, theo binh luật. Có nghĩa là những người lính thợ này nằm trong khuôn khổ quản lý của các công chức từ thuộc địa hồi hương hoặc các cựu chiến binh không còn khả năng phục vụ quân đội vì tuổi già hoặc là thương binh ».     Những công nhân cần cù Theo báo cáo ngày 08/08/1916 của thanh tra G. du Vaure gửi đến chủ tịch Ủy ban Hỗ trợ Lao động Đông Dương, có 442 người Đông Dương làm việc ở nhà máy thuốc súng Sain-Chamas, « trong đó có 204 người Nam Kỳ, 218 người Bắc Kỳ », số còn lại là người Cam Bốt nhưng cha mẹ là người Nam Kỳ. Họ được bố trí ăn ở « trong hai khu vực tách biệt, cách nhau 5 km ». Nhóm thứ nhất « gồm 302 người sống trong một tòa nhà lớn bằng gạch 4 tầng, được gọi là ‘le Moulin' (tạm dịch : Nhà máy xay) ». Nhóm thứ hai gồm « 120 người sống trong khu nhà phụ của xưởng sản xuất lưu huỳnh đặc (sulfuric), được gọi là ‘Oleum', là những dãy nhà bằng gạch lợp ngói ». Trong một báo cáo khác của thanh tra Bosc, việc biến những cơ sở có sẵn thành nơi ở cho công nhân Đông Dương cũng được nhắc đến, theo giải thích của nhà sử học Brigitte Sabattini : « Thanh tra Bosc, công chức cấp cao từ Đông Dương trở về, nói rất nhiều đến những khu được biến thành nhà tập thể cho người lao động, như những địa điểm đã có từ trước, như trường hợp của nhà máy xay mà chỉ cần lắp thêm giường, làm nhà bếp. Báo cáo cũng nêu rất nhiều thông tin như có đủ lương thực không, có nghĩa là họ rất chú ý đến điều kiện vật chất cho lính thợ. Khi không có đủ chỗ cho khoảng 1.000 công nhân, họ bắt đầu xây những khu tập thể mới ». Tuy nhiên, những dãy nhà ở khu Moulin hiện không còn vết tích, trong khi những dấu vết cuối cùng từ những dãy nhà khu tập thể được xây sau này ở trên triền đồi nhìn xuống toàn cảnh khu nhà máy thuốc súng và Ao Berre, cũng sắp bị phá. Ông Jacques Lemaire, cựu chủ tịch Hội Những người bạn của Saint-Chamas xưa, giải thích : « Tôi tìm thấy một số hình ảnh, tôi phóng to một ảnh cho thấy những ngôi nhà nằm ở khu vực Moulin. Nhưng hiện giờ chẳng còn vết tích gì. Còn những chỗ ở được xây để dành riêng cho lính thợ, theo báo cáo của thanh tra Bosc năm 1916, đó là những dãy nhà ở giữa hai thành phố Saint-Chamas và Miramas nhưng nằm trên đất của Miramas. Khi tôi bắt đầu nghiên cứu về lính thợ Đông Dương trong Thế Chiến I ở Saint-Chamas, tôi đã đến đây để chụp ảnh xem còn lại gì. Quả thật tôi đã làm đúng vì sắp tới họ sẽ phá hết những dãy nhà này để xây quần thể khách sạn ». Nhìn chung, các giám đốc nhà máy thuốc súng ở Saint-Chamas hay ở Salin-de-Giraud đều rất khen ngợi năng suất lao động của công nhân Đông Dương. Dĩ nhiên không tránh được những bất đồng về văn hóa, lối sống, theo báo cáo của thanh tra Bosc. Bà Brigitte Sabattini giải thích : « Báo cáo cũng nêu có những sự cố giữa nhân viên quản lý và người lao động vì nhân viên quản lý không nắm được những thói quen của người Đông Dương nên không đủ khả năng quản lý họ. Chuyện này đã xảy ra ở Salin-de-Giraud, ở Sorgues, thậm chí một sự cố ở Salin-de-Giraud được so sánh như một cuộc nổi dậy. Một nhóm công nhân Đông Dương được chuyển từ Tarbes đến Salin-de-Giraud, thế nhưng điều kiện sống của họ ở Tarbes tốt hơn rất nhiều, họ sống ở trung tâm thành phố nên có thể ra ngoài gặp gỡ hẹn hò với các cô gái Pháp, trong khi Salin-de-Giraud nằm tận cuối vùng Camargue, xa xôi hẻo lánh. Ngoài ra còn có va chạm giữa lính thợ đến từ Nam Kỳ với người đến từ Bắc và Trung Kỳ. Vì thế biện pháp kiểm soát đã được tái lập để tránh các vấn đề và để kiểm tra điều kiện sinh hoạt và làm việc ». Tuy nhiên, cũng có trường hợp hãn hữu là công nhân thuộc địa bị những kẻ côn đồ người Pháp sát hại, như trường hợp của Phan Van Loi bị giết ngày 08/05/1917, được bà Sabattini thuật lại : « Ở Sorgues đã xảy ra một vụ án rất nghiêm trọng. Phan Van Loi, người xấu số, bị một nhóm côn đồ ngoại ô sát hại. Theo biên bản ghi chép rất chi tiết của cảnh sát, có ba thanh niên, một gái, hai trai, buồn vì chẳng có gì để chơi ở Marseille, nên đã lấy tầu đi Avignon, nhưng rồi lại có mặt ở Sorgues. Họ thấy một người An Nam đi qua trại, thế là họ nổi hứng trấn lột. Họ lôi nạn nhân vào một chỗ rồi giết chết, cướp đi khoản tiền chẳng đáng là bao, chỉ có 20 franc ». Tìm lại đúng tên cho những người thợ Đông Dương « Chết vì nước Pháp » Phan Van Loi được ghi công « Chết vì nước Pháp » như 88 người Việt Nam khác được khắc tên trên đài tưởng niệm dựng trong nghĩa trang Saint-Pierre ở Aix-en-Provence. Có 8 người thợ Đông Dương qua đời tại bệnh viện Saint-Chamas từ 1916 đến 1919, chủ yếu do sốt thương hàn, viêm phổi, theo thống kê của hai nhà nghiên cứu Brigitte Sabattini và Jacques Lemaire. « Tôi có danh sách được ghi trên công trình tưởng niệm lính thợ Đông Dương ở Aix, bà Brigitte Sabattini giải thích, nhưng ngoài ra không có thêm thông tin gì khác. Tôi không rõ là để có được danh sách này cũng như công trình tưởng niệm, công việc được tiến hành như thế nào. Nhờ ghi lại và tìm hiểu những họ tên được ghi trên đó, tôi nhận ra rằng đó là những người Đông Dương chết không chỉ vì cúm Tây Ban Nha thời đó ở Aix trong lúc chờ hồi hương, mà còn có những người chết ở Saint-Chamas, Avignon, Sorgues, Salin, Arles. Có những tên mà tôi tìm được tài liệu, nhưng có nhiều tên tôi không tìm được thông tin. Chính Jacques Lemaire là người gợi ý có thể tìm trong Sổ hộ tịch ở thành phố Saint-Chamas. Khi đối chứng, tôi phát hiện ra có những tên được ghi khác đi hoặc phát hiện ra nhiều trường khác. Hiện giờ tôi đã có danh sách đầy đủ những người lính thợ Đông Dương chết ở Saint-Chamas trong Thế Chiến thứ nhất ». Họ phát hiện một vài lỗi chính tả về tên người quá cố được khắc trên công trình tưởng niệm ở nghĩa trang Saint-Pierre ở Aix-en-Provence và cổng thông tin dữ liệu Mémoire des Hommes của bộ Quốc Phòng. Theo ông Jacques Lemaire, phải tra cứu bản gốc mới có thể nhìn được rõ hơn nhầm ở chỗ nào, vì hiện giờ các tài liệu cổ dễ hỏng, đều được chuyển sang dạng microfilm. Đề nghị được tra cứu bản gốc mà họ gửi từ lâu cuối cùng đã được chấp nhận, đúng ngày trả lời phỏng vấn RFI Tiếng Việt 09/08/2021 : « Điều mà chúng tôi vẫn tìm, đó là các cuốn Sổ hộ tịch của thành phố Saint-Chamas từ năm 1916, thời điểm những người lính Đông Dương đầu tiên đến cho đến năm 1919 khi họ rời đi. Dù Thế Chiến I bắt đầu năm 1914 nhưng lúc đầu chưa có lính tập cũng như lính thợ Đông Dương. Trong những cuốn sổ hộ tịch này, chúng tôi tìm thông tin khai tử những người mang tên Việt và dĩ nhiên chúng tôi tìm được số đăng kí. Giờ chúng tôi đi đến tòa thị chính, bà thư ký sẽ cho chúng tôi tra cứu các cuốn Sổ hộ tịch từ năm 1916 đến 1919, chúng tôi hy vọng tìm thấy trong đó những thông tin phù hợp về những người xấu số qua đời ở Saint-Chamas ». Trong lúc tra cứu, họ đã tìm thêm được tên một người Việt qua đời được ghi trong Sổ hộ tịch ở Saint-Chamas. Trước đó, bà Sabattini đã tìm được rất nhiều văn bản ghi lại nghi thức tang lễ, trình tự thông tin người quá cố được ghi trên bia mộ làm sao cho phù hợp với tập tục của người Việt : « Có rất nhiều hướng dẫn rõ ràng, cụ thể bởi vì trước đó có một thông tư nhà nước nêu mọi thông tin cần thiết để an táng những người Đông Dương qua đời theo đúng tập tục nước họ. Một điều quan trọng được đặc biệt nhấn mạnh là phải biết rõ liệu cha mẹ của người quá cố còn sống hay không, rồi tư thế người chết được đặt trong quan tài như nào… Tuy nhiên, theo những thông tin ghi lại trong Sổ hộ tịch, có những tên không thể nào đọc được, hoặc không có tên cha mẹ hoặc cha mẹ còn sống hay đã chết ». Saint-Chamas và Salin-de-Giraud hàng năm luân phiên tổ chức tưởng niệm những người lính thợ Đông Dương « Chết vì nước Pháp » trong Thế Chiến II. Trên tường nhà triển lãm trong khu bảo tồn thiên nhiên La Poudrerie de Saint-Chamas gắn một tấm bia ghi công « những lính thợ Đông Dương, phần lớn bị buộc đến Pháp, làm việc không lương ở Nhà máy thuốc súng Saint-Chamas từ 1939-1945 », nhưng lại thiếu những người đã phục vụ trong những năm 1916-1919. Đây chính là mục tiêu cuối cùng của hai nhà nghiên cứu dày công bảo vệ công lao của những người lính thợ Đông Dương thời Thế Chiến I : « Chúng tôi có nhiều thông tin về những người này. Chúng tôi muốn lập một bia tưởng niệm khác bên cạnh tấm bia tưởng niệm những người lính thợ Đông Dương chết trong Thế Chiến II đã được gắn ở nhà triển lãm trong khu bảo tồn La Poudrerie de Saint-Chamas. Có thể không phải là vào ngày 11/11/2021 mà có thể là năm 2022. Tên của những người lính thợ Việt Nam qua đời ở vùng Provence đã được tạc trên công trình kỉ niệm ở nghĩa trang Aix, sắp tới sẽ được ghi trên bia  tưởng niệm ở Saint-Chamas ».

Happy Oil Day, everyone! On this 7/10, we're celebrating by showcasing some of the many great cannabis concentrates, oils, waxes, and other extracts available in legal markets around the country. In keeping with that, What Are You Smoking? is dropping a day early to present a conversation with Graham Jennings and Aaron Palmer, the co-founders of Oleum, one of our favorite extraction companies in Washington.  Will Hyde, your host and Avid Dabber, talks with Oleum's honchos about what they look for in flower, what customers are looking for in their concentrates, and why isolating less well known cannabinoids looks like the wave of the future for extraction technology.
