Antisemitism is a real, violent, and pervasive scourge that spans the globe, but as anti-Zionist Jews like Molly Kraft argue, conflating opposition to Israel with antisemitism will make Jewish people less safe, not more. “Any systematic review of antisemitism must separate antisemitism from the Israeli state's claims to represent all Jewish people, or more precisely, all Jewish safety,” Kraft writes in The Grind. “This is both because no colonial state can provide safety as it destroys and expels Indigenous populations, but also because Jewish safety will only come through the destruction of all oppressive systems.” In the latest installment of “Not in Our Name,” a Marc Steiner Show series bringing together voices across the Jewish world speaking out against Israel's Occupation and destruction of Palestine, Marc Steiner speaks with Kraft about the need to accurately identify and fight antisemitism while forcefully rejecting Zionists' attempts to weaponize antisemitism to perpetuate genocidal violence and justify repressive censorship.Molly Kraft is a Canadian labor and community organizer, writer, a founding member of the Jews Say No to Genocide Coalition, and co-founder of Standing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ) - Toronto.Producer: Rosette SewaliStudio Production: Cameron GranadinoAudio Post-Production: Alina NehlichHelp TRNN continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Sign up for our newsletterFollow us on BlueskyLike us on FacebookFollow us on TwitterDonate to support this podcast
In a recent article in Jewish Currents, Jon Danforth-Appell proposes that the Jewish left is operating under a paradigm of what he calls “Zionist realism.” This idea draws on theorist Mark Fisher's notion of “capitalist realism,” which describes the way capitalism makes it impossible to imagine alternative world structures; Zionist realism, in Danforth-Appell's conception, similarly makes it difficult for Jews to separate from a received sense of Jewish collectivity, and imagine alternative futures. Danforth-Appell writes that particularist Jewish organizing, typified by the slogan “Not in Our Name,” reinforces a picture of Jews as a monolith, while contributing to an overemphasis on Jewish culpability for Israel's actions. This approach may underemphasize “material processes of capital and geopolitics,” like the weapons industry's bottom line and American interests in the Middle East. “What ultimately matters is not an abstract notion of Zionism as a totalizing spiritual contaminant upon the Jewish people,” he writes, “but the ways in which American Jews, alongside all other Americans, hold multiple kinds of material relationships to Israel.”In the episode, Jewish Currents editor-in-chief Arielle Angel and associate editor Mari Cohen talk with Danforth-Appell about his article and the questions it raises. Even given the diversity among Jews, can we abandon collective complicity while so many Jews materially support Zionism? Why aren't we seeing more mass anti-war organizing, where people can show up as Americans? And what are the limits of a Jewish politics of collective complicity?

LESSON 223God Is My Life. I Have No Life But His.I was mistaken when I thought I lived apart from God, a separate entity that moved in isolation, unattached, and housed within a body. Now I know my life is God's, I have no other home, and I do not exist apart from Him. He has no Thoughts that are not part of me, and I have none but those which are of Him.Our Father, let us see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes. For we who are Your holy Son are sinless. We would look upon our sinlessness, for guilt proclaims that we are not Your Son. And we would not forget You longer. We are lonely here, and long for Heaven, where we are at home. Today we would return. Our Name is Yours, and we acknowledge that we are Your Son.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Please become a subscriber for as little as $3/month at patreon.com/crawdadsandtaters. Episode Description: As the official death toll in Gaza soars to more than 8,500, with 5,500 children likely dead, and US-backed Israel prepares for a ground invasion, we bring you Part 2 of our analysis of the forces at work behind this genocide. Today, we discuss Biden's complicity with war crimes, his unwavering support for Israel, and Biden's history as a Zionist. We define Zionism, and we use a lens of Settler Colonialism, Zionism and Disaster Capitalism for understanding what Israel and the United States are now executing. We also shine a light on Israel's future capitalist development plans for a canal/corridor, and look at how these plans may be connected to the genocide happening in Gaza. As socialists, we understand how capitalism's plans for endless expansion require constant war, genocide and the destruction of nature, and the brutal oppression of the world's most vulnerable. We offer you a list of media resources to stay informed, as non-coporate, anti-war voices are being banned, censored, and bombed.

Joe Biden continues to subsidize and sponsor Israel's ethnic cleansing in Gaza and ignoring an already huge and growing antiwar movement. Yet the Democrats keep cramming him down the voters' throats despite abysmal polling numbers. And when he loses, they will blame the Left. Another terrible week in Gaza with 7,000 killed by Israel's war crimes. We're also seeing escalations in eastern Syria and on the Israel-Lebanese border. In the U.S., Zionists are attacking, canceling and getting people with pro-Palestinian politics fired. But, also, movements all over the world are fighting back. In the Capital, hundreds of anti-Zionist Jews were arrested calling for an end to U.S. support of Israel. In New York's Grand Central Station, hundreds more were arrested saying "Not in Our Name, Ceasefire Now." In the latest Scrappy Sunday, we discuss the ongoing attack and the U.S. and Biden's complicity in it. We discuss how this further sinks Biden's chances of re-election in 2024. And we also discuss the failure of progressive Democrats and academics in this moment. ------------------------------------ Outro- "Intifada" by Doc Jazz, Palestine Links// Follow Green and Red// +G&R Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast +Our rad website: https://greenandredpodcast.org/ +We're part of the Labor Podcast Network: https://www.laborradionetwork.org/ Support the Green and Red Podcast// +Become a Patron at / greenredpodcast +Or make a one time donation here: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR This is a Green and Red Podcast (@PodcastGreenRed) production.

Poem About Peace - IF By John William Brown - Peace In Our Name ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to show your support? Become a patron on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Talk_Talks ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- IF If you use bombs that when exploding spray A thousand darts called flechettes, overhead, Knowing that such will obviously flay The skin from flesh of children who have fled From homes you phoned to say, “Go! Run away! We're targeting your house but can't say why!” If you wipe out whole towns within a day, Destroy civilian lives then spread the lie, That you can't help it, they were human shields. Then you're less than the swine that you don't eat, More led and less than sheep within your fields, More stupid than the slogans that you bleat; If you herd people, trap them in their lands, Denying them utilities and aid, Then you create a debt you never planned: Blood money's interest, accrued and paid; Destroy your hearts while you destroy their wells, Or, knowingly bomb their schools and hospitals, Then bring upon yourself your future hells That will return your own mercy, in full; If you use bombs tipped with uranium On simple plaster houses by the sea, Or drop white phosphorous, fierce as the sun, You cease to be part of humanity; If you have gained their world, without a care, Staked out their land, consciously undermined The dignity of all whom once lived there, You lose the soul that made you humankind; If you imprison nations and won't swerve To find a human way, which you can do, Know that you get what you do not deserve: The pure compassion they may offer you. © John William Brown 12 August 2014 https://peaceinourname.com/if John William Brown was born in 1947 in London. He is a poet, painter, performer and dramatist.

In this episode, we investigate the exceptional existence of Ruby Dee, a lady of numerous gifts, from verse to theater, activism to playwriting. We dig into her initial life, experiencing childhood in Harlem, and her affection for narrating, which drove her to performing expressions. We examine her noteworthy accomplishments in theater, remembering her job for "A Raisin in the Sun," the main play composed by a person of color to be delivered on Broadway. Not only that, but we discuss her activism and her cozy associations with Social equality pioneers Malcolm X and Martin Luther Ruler, Jr. Ultimately, we investigate her change to television acting and her wonderful heritage in media outlets. All through her profession, Dee separated obstructions and made critical commitments to both artistic expression and the Social equality development.Ruby Dee was a remarkable woman who made an indelible impact on American culture and society. Born in 1922, she grew up in Harlem, New York, at a time when America was still segregated. Despite the challenges she faced, Dee was determined to pursue her passion for the performing arts, and she became an accomplished actor, poet, playwright, and activist.Dee's love of storytelling began at a young age, and she earned a degree in Romance languages to hone her skills. However, it was her apprenticeship at the American Negro Theatre that solidified her love of the performing arts. During her time there, she met and formed connections with other up-and-coming actors, including Hilda Simms and Sidney Poitier.Dee's first big break came in 1946, when she landed a role in the all-black Broadway production of "Anna Lucasta." The play was a major success, running for almost 1000 performances, and it helped to launch Dee's career as an actor. She went on to appear in several other plays, including the groundbreaking "A Raisin in the Sun," which was the first Broadway play written by a black woman.Dee's success on stage led to opportunities in Hollywood, and she became known for her roles in films such as "The Jackie Robinson Story" and "Buck and the Preacher." However, Dee never forgot her roots in the theater, and she continued to perform on stage throughout her career. In fact, she made history as the first black actress to play a lead role in the American Shakespeare Festival.Dee's activism was an integral part of her life, and she used her platform as a performer to advocate for Civil Rights. Along with her husband, the actor and activist Ossie Davis, she was a close friend and ally of leaders such as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. Dee and Davis were arrested for protesting the shooting of Amadou Diallo in 1999 and signed the 2003 proclamation "Not in Our Name" in opposition to the U.S. invasion of Iraq.Throughout her life, Dee remained committed to using her talents and her voice to effect change in the world. She was a true pioneer for black women in the arts, and her legacy continues to inspire and empower people today.Visual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante
MIRACLES FOR YOU Sondra Ray & Markus Ray on A Course in Miracles
Our Name is still known to God. Our Name is our Identity in Love. It is a State of Being free of all conflict of duality. It is a Unified field of Wholeness—Oneness. This Lesson introduces us to a deeper awareness of Who we are as God sees us. We can claim this Identity today. Why wait? We allow God to reveal it to us. AMEN.
God is my life. I have no life but His. I was mistaken when I thought I lived apart from God, a separate entity that moved in isolation, unattached, and housed within a body. Now I know my life is God's, I have no other home, and I do not exist apart from Him. He has no Thoughts that are not part of me, and I have none but those which are of Him. Our Father, let us see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes. For we who are Your holy Son are sinless. We would look upon our sinlessness, for guilt proclaims that we are not Your Son. And we would not forget You longer. We are lonely here, and long for Heaven, where we are at home. Today we would return. Our Name is Yours, and we acknowledge that we are Your Son.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 223
The new Netflix film starring Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo, and Jennifer Garner is currently one of the most popular titles on OTT. The film tells the story of a man who travels back in time and teams up with his younger self and deceased father to help save the future. So here are some interesting trivia about the popular film, The Adam Project. Let's get going.The film was originally titled Our Name is Adam with Tom Cruise cast as the lead, all the way back in 2012. However, the project was in limbo at Paramount for years before Netflix acquired the rights in 2020 with Shawn Levy as director and Ryan Reynolds replacing Tom Cruise as the lead. In a particular scene, Mark Ruffalo's character Louis Reed insinuates that he understood the reference seen on one of his student's t-shirts during a lecture. The picture in the t-shirt is of actor Nicolas Cage but with actor John Travolta's name underneath it. It is in fact a reference to Cage and Travolta's hit film Face-Off, where they swap faces. This is Mark Ruffalo's third film in which time travelling is involved. The first one was 13 Going on 30, alongside Jennifer Garner, and the second one was Avengers: Endgame.Ryan Reynolds, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner, and Zoe Saldana have all portrayed Marvel superheroes. Reynolds as Wade Wilson/Deadpool, Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/Hulk, and Saldana as Gamora. However, Garner's role is probably lesser-known or even forgotten - she played the role of Elektra in the 2003 film Daredevil opposite her future spouse Ben Affleck, as well in the standalone spin-off film titled Elektra. Both films were unfortunately poorly received by critics and audiences.The Adam Project has paid homage to another sci-fi film franchise about time travelling, which is the Back to the Future trilogy. The dog in The Adam Project is named Hawking, similar to how Christopher Lloyd's character, Dr Emmett Brown named his dogs Copernic and Einstein, after famous scientists. In fact, Lloyd makes an appearance in one of the promotion videos by Netflix for The Adam Project. This film is trending currently on OTT, Catch it streaming exclusively on Netflix.Well that's the Now You Know episode for today on OTTplay, until the next podcast it's your host Nikhil signing out.Aaj kya dekhoge OTTplay se poocho

It's been seven months since Donald Trump's supporters stormed the Capitol building in Washington DC in an attempt to overturn the general election results.

Back in May, the remains of 215 children were discovered on the grounds of a former residential (boarding) school in Canada that was used to forcibly assimilate Indigenous children. Soon after, over 750 unmarked graves were discovered at another residential school. Given the historical brutality of such schools in their treatment of Indigenous children, it is widely suspected that similar gravesites exist at residential schools across the US and Canada. Investigating these atrocities will require a significant commitment from the US and Canadian governments, and atoning for the (continued) evils wrought upon Indigenous people will take an even more significant commitment from all of us. In our first segment for this week's episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc talks about all this and more with Mary Annette Pember, an award-winning journalist and photographer whose work appears regularly in Indian Country Today and other outlets like In These Times. Pember, a member of the Red Cliff Band of Wisconsin Ojibwe, recently authored an article for the Goodman Institute for Investigative Journalism on how the Catholic Church stole $30 million from Native families, and another article in The Atlantic exposing the horror of Indigenous children being stolen from their homes and put in boarding schools.In our second segment, we bring you the latest installment of our ongoing series “Not in Our Name,” which highlights the diverse voices of Jewish activists, artists, intellectuals, and others who are speaking out against the Israeli occupation. In this installment, Marc and his guests, professor Mira Sucharov and Rabbi Elizabeth Bolton, raise difficult questions regarding the different personal and political meanings of Zionism. Mira Sucharov is associate professor of political science at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, and the author of The International Self: Psychoanalysis and the Search for Israeli-Palestinian Peace.

In our first segment for this week's episode of The Marc Steiner Show, Marc talks with Marjorie Cohn about the highly anticipated report from the International Commission of Inquiry on Systemic Racist Police Violence Against People of African Descent in the United States, which issued a blistering indictment of police-perpetrated racist violence in the U.S. As Cohn writes in Truthout, “The Commissioners concluded that the systematic police killings of Black people in the U.S. constitutes a prima facie case of crimes against humanity and they asked the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to initiate an investigation of responsible police officials.” Marjorie Cohn is professor emerita at Thomas Jefferson School of Law, former president of the National Lawyers Guild, and a member of the bureau of the International Association of Democratic Lawyers and the advisory board of Veterans for Peace.

From Israeli forces attacking worshipers at the holy Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem to the forced expulsion of Palestinians from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah, international outcry and condemnation of Israel's apartheid regime reached new heights last month, seemingly culminating in the recent announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. While the bombs may have stopped for the time being, however, the violence of occupation continues unabated. In this week's episode of “The Marc Steiner Show,” we continue our exploration of the history and human toll of apartheid in Israel and Palestine. We begin with a dramatic reading by E. Ethelbert Miller of his poem “Ceasefire.” Then, Marc speaks with Majed Abusalama about life under occupation. Abusalama is a Ph.D. candidate in Critical Human Geography and Regional Studies at Tampere University (Finland), and a contributing writer to outlets like Jadaliyya, Al Jazeera English, and Middle East Eye; he grew up in Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza and now serves as an international director of the We Are Not Numbers organization in Gaza.Our third segment features the latest installment of our ongoing series “Not in Our Name,” which highlights the diverse voices of Jewish activists, artists, intellectuals, and others who are speaking out against the Israeli occupation. In this segment, Marc speaks with Dorothy Zellner about her latest piece in Jewish Currents, “What We Did: How the Jewish Communist Left Failed the Palestinian Cause.” Zellner is a longtime social justice activist who worked for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Southern Conference Educational Fund in the early 1960s, and at the Center for Constitutional Rights and CUNY School of Law. She is one of six editors of the prize-winning book Hands on the Freedom Plow: Personal Accounts of Women in SNCC.Tune in for new episodes of The Marc Steiner Show every Tuesday on TRNN.This is the latest installment of the ongoing series "Not in Our Name," which highlights the diverse voices of Jewish activists, artists, intellectuals, and others who are speaking out against the Israeli occupation.

The violence of Israeli occupation and apartheid has been happening for many years with unceasing support from the U.S. government. This is why many are rightly skeptical that anything will fundamentally change, even with the recent international outcry over Israeli forces' attack on worshippers at Al-Aqsa Mosque, renewed airstrikes on Gaza, and the forced removal of Palestinian residents from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in East Jerusalem. However, Palestinian resistance in Israel and the occupied territories, coupled with a growing international wave of resistance to the occupation, and solidarity with the people of Palestine, is reaching unprecedented levels, prompting many to wonder if the tide may actually be turning.In this urgent episode of “The Marc Steiner Show,” we bring you on-the-ground reports from Palestine and from the U.S. and Canada, where Jewish and Palestinian-American activists are fighting to end the occupation. In the first segment, Marc speaks with Palestine correspondent for Mondoweiss Yumna Patel, who's been reporting on the ground in the West Bank for five years, about what she's been seeing and reporting on these past two weeks. Then, we discuss the efforts of Palestinian-Americans in the U.S. to resist the occupation with Sammy Alqasem, Palestinian-American organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement in North America, and Laura Albast, Palestinian-American journalist, translator, digital content editor, and organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement in North America.Lastly, we kick off our ongoing series “Not in Our Name,” which will highlight the diverse voices of Jewish activists, artists, intellectuals, and others who are speaking out against the Israeli occupation. In the first installment of this series, Marc chats with Israeli-Canadian journalist, documentary filmmaker, and former TRNN Israel/Palestine correspondent Lia Tarachansky, as well as artist, author, and author of “Drawing Blood” and "Brothers of the Gun" (co-authored with Marwan Hisham), Molly Crabapple.

Meditation was Inspired By the Follow Baha’i Writings “Say: Nature in its essence is the embodiment of My Name, the Maker, the Creator. Its manifestations are diversified by varying causes, and in this diversity there are signs for men of discernment. Nature is God’s Will and is its expression in and through the contingent world. It is a dispensation of Providence ordained by the Ordainer, the All-Wise. Were anyone to affirm that it is the Will of God as manifested in the world of being, no one should question this assertion. It is endowed with a power whose reality men of learning fail to grasp. Indeed a man of insight can perceive naught therein save the effulgent splendor of Our Name, the Creator. Say: This is an existence which knoweth no decay, and Nature itself is lost in bewilderment before its revelations, its compelling evidences and its effulgent glory which have encompassed the universe.” Bahá’u’lláh, Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh

Episode 18 - Beauty is Our Name. This week's episode we're talking about beauty. The world we live in constantly shapes the way we perceive beauty, generally creating standards no one can achieve. In thinking about this I wondered what children think about beauty and how it impacts their lives. Is their innocence a shield from the images that have shaped the rest of us or have they already felt the weight of this societal construct? In searching for answers I decided to consult an expert...my 5 year old daughter. The conversation that follows is everything I thought it would be and a whole lot of things I didn't see coming.

God is my life. I have no life but His. I was mistaken when I thought I lived apart from God, a separate entity that moved in isolation, unattached, and housed within a body. Now I know my life is God's, I have no other home, and I do not exist apart from Him. He has no Thoughts that are not part of me, and I have none but those which are of Him. Our Father, let us see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes. For we who are Your holy Son are sinless. We would look upon our sinlessness, for guilt proclaims that we are not Your Son. And we would not forget You longer. We are lonely here, and long for Heaven, where we are at home. Today we would return. Our Name is Yours, and we acknowledge that we are Your Son.- Jesus Christ in A Course in Miracles, Lesson 223

Announcer: 00:00 You're listening to Trade Show Live - On the Road, featuring conversations with the people who bring trade shows to life, including attendees, exhibitors, sponsors, and trade show, industry thought leaders. We attend trade shows around the country in a wide variety of industries from healthcare consumer products and everything in between. The podcast is a production of the trade show manager, a trade show consulting firms, and now let's go on the road with Trade Show Live. Janet: 00:28 Welcome to a Trade Show Live - On the Road. This podcast is a production of the trade show manager and features an in depth look at the people, companies, and organizations that bring trade shows to life. In January 2019, we are headed to CES, the consumer electronic show, which is an amazing event that takes over all of Las Vegas every year. This year we're going with amazing group of startups and business leaders will be in Eureka Park and displaying some of the best new ideas coming from the startup community of North Carolina. One of the organizations in the North Carolina Startup pavilion is the EDPNC, which stands for the economic development partnership of North Carolina. With me today, is the chief executive officer Christopher Chung, or do you prefer Chris? Chris: 01:20 Chris is just fine. Thanks, Janet. Janet: 01:22 Welcome to Trade Show Live - On the Road. Chris: 01:25 Great to be here. Thank you. Janet: 01:27 Well, I know that the economic development of North Carolina is hot, hot, hot right now and we are making a lot of news while we didn't lay into Amazon. That's okay. There are a lot of other things come into the pipeline and a lot of exciting news. So Chris, start me off with a little bit and explain what exactly is that EDPNC. Chris: 01:47 Sure. Thanks Janet. So the economic development partnership in North Carolina or the EDPNC, we're a nonprofit organization that works to advance economic development here in the state of North Carolina. The way we approach it is really through a five fold mission, if you will. Probably what we're best known for is our work in trying to recruit companies here from outside the state. So a lot of our work involves manufacturing companies, corporate headquarters, companies in biotechnology, life sciences, information technology, food processing. Those are the kinds of industries and the types of companies that were regularly in conversations with trying to convince them to either look at North Carolina or of course ultimately locate their future growth and operations in our state. Obviously there are many, many players and partners who are involved in that process, but as a state organization, we're typically that first point of contact that gets to to hear from those companies and start laying out that sales pitch, if you will, for why we think North Carolina is the right place for their future growth. Chris: 02:47 But like I said, that's just one part of our mission overall. We're also responsible among other things for promoting North Carolina for tourism. We happen to live in a beautiful state. Everything from the Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge mountains in the all the way out to the outer banks and the crystal coast on the east at 300 miles of shoreline and a lot of wonderful things in between. So we're very fortunate to draw tens of millions of visitors to North Carolina spending billions of dollars on our local economies all throughout the state. So we want to make sure that we continue to put out a message that's going to be treating people and get them to come visit North Carolina. We also help a lot of our manufacturers to find new markets for their products overseas regions of the world. Still export assistance is what we call it, but nothing more complex than helping our companies figure out whether it makes sense for them to sell into overseas markets and if so, how do they go about getting as many customers as possible. Chris: 03:41 And then of course we try never to forget that a in spite of our efforts to recruit new companies in North Carolina, there are quite literally tens of thousands of companies already here in our state that we want to make sure we're serving their needs and helping figure out how they can grow and expand right here in the state. So it's a pretty broad mission, but all of it is important to you. In North Carolina, if we're talking about increasing job creation, we're talking about increasing tax space and of course just increasing economic opportunity for the people who call North Carolina home. Chris: 04:14 Okay. That really does sound like a very long laundry list of responsibilities, but the thing is you're not very old. This, this organization hasn't been around for a really long time. Chris: 04:26 No, we haven't. So we're celebrating our four year. Actually, we just celebrated our four year anniversary back in October. Now it's not as if North Carolina wasn't doing any of these things before. Our organization was created to essentially take over these responsibilities which used to be housed within state government in the public sector, so North Carolina followed the lead of a number of other states which in recent years have moved their state economic development functions into this kind of nonprofit or public private partnership model. Really to give a couple of things. One is just more operating flexibility than what sometimes possible within the public sector, but more importantly as a nonprofit, we're able to go out there and receive support from private industry, construction companies, utilities, banks, real estate development firms. Those are just some of the types of companies that help our operation by investing their dollars into our work, and so what that ultimately does is it gives us more resources to go out there and do all those different things that were trusted and I think that's why North Carolina made that move and a number of states have as well. So again, all of that's important work. It's just in the past four years we've changed that model and evolved it to the competitive industry that we're in right now and change different economic development goals. Janet: 05:41 Now. Do you still liaise with a governmental office? Chris: 05:45 Absolutely, yes. So the North Carolina Department of Commerce is probably the partner that we interact with by far the most often they're the ones who used to have those responsibilities that we now perform on their behalf under contract, the North Carolina Department of Commerce though still does a lot of really important things that are critical to economic development success in our state, for example, they focus a lot on workforce development. All of those things designed to make sure that when companies expand or locate here, they have access to the best talent and best training resources to help them groom their talent as possible. The Commerce Department also administers all of the state's financial incentive programs. We know that that's a pretty critical factor for a lot of the companies that are looking to locate here, whether they're small, whether they're large, whether they're everything in between. We know that they are often times looking to maximize their return on investment and reduce their costs of doing business and incentives have been one way for companies to do that, so the Commerce Department still controls all those programs. It's pretty straightforward when we've got a company that we know is interested in North Carolina, when those incentives come up in conversation, we absolutely bring our partners from the Commerce Department to the table so that we can all jointly work on getting that company to eventually decide on a location here in our state. Janet: 07:03 No, I know we've been making all kinds of top 10 lists for places to live, for talent in the marketplace for experience in certain areas, but I understand that we also have interests internationally. Chris: 07:20 Yes, absolutely. So of course, as you can imagine when we're talking to all these call them, hundreds of companies every year that we have a chance to recruit and attract here from outside the state, probably one out of three and these days is a company that's headquartered somewhere outside the United States. The United States remains a really attractive market for companies to sell into and in recent years, more and more companies have decided it makes sense for them not only to sell into the US, but to actually have a footprint or presence operating and doing business here in the United States. And so when more companies are looking at being in the US, then of course by definition that means we get more chances here in North Carolina to get those companies to call our state home for their US operations. So historically we've seen a lot of interest from western Europe and East Asia, but these days you're seeing much more activity from markets like India, Turkey, Brazil, and Israel. These are also increasingly important sources of inbound investment companies coming from those markets looking to establish operations somewhere in the US. And of course we want that somewhere in the US to be right here in North Carolina. Janet: 08:30 Okay. So that means you are marketing globally. That sounds kind of expensive. Chris: 08:36 It is. So there's never enough money. I don't think any organization ever complains about having too much money. I think our efforts to promote North Carolina, of course are, as you said, both domestically and overseas. We don't have a lot of money to go out there and take out advertisements on tv or even online or on and all these different markets, at least not on the business side. We have a little bit more to play around with when it comes to tourism promotion because we're trying to reach individual consumers as opposed to businesses, but what we do have on the business front is a network of international offices that compliment our team sitting right here in North Carolina, so we have offices in Germany covering in Europe. We have offices in China, Japan and Korea and we just opened up here in November an office in India. Chris: 09:24 Those five offices are responsible for getting in front of companies in their parts of the world, trying to convince them of the business case for why North Carolina makes sense for future expansion and so that's probably one of our best tools to get in front of the audience that we want to reach, which are growth minded companies overseas. Thinking about where they want to be. And then of course here in the United States it's a lot easier because we're sitting in the US and so it's a lot easier for us to get out to industry conferences, industry gatherings, association meetings, events like CES. These are all prime, fertile territory for us to get out there with the message of North Carolina and why we're an excellent location for companies to do their future expansion. Janet: 10:07 Well, I certainly love wearing my North Carolina hat and I represent probably the typical North Carolinian ... I'm not from around here, so I was born and raised in New England and Gosh Dolly, they have a snow up there in the wintertime and went to college in Baltimore and they still had snow so I finally had to make it to North Carolina and wow, did I find home! I'm just think the Carolinas or are the perfect climate and you could get to the from the mountains to the ocean in a single day drive and it's just a beautiful, beautiful place to live. And I think a lot of folks, US Yankee, so moved down here sort of adopt some of the hospitality focused that the south is so famous for and this is really just a wonderful place to live. Chris: 10:54 It really is. I mean, there's a reason why North Carolina has been one of the fastest growing states when it comes to population. We've grown at roughly double the national average over the past two decades or so. Of course, some of that population growth happens organically when you have more people that die, but for states like North Carolina, we've also seen so much of that population growth result from migration, so people moving here from other parts of the US. We certainly get people moving here from outside the US, but a lot of it has been those transplants that are moving here from either the northeast or the Midwest, even places like California who are deciding that either for quality of life reasons or economic opportunity reasons. North Carolina is where they want to be. That's really good for our businesses as well. Because what that means is the talent pool is not only being filled with university and college graduates, but it's also being filled by people who move here after college. People who move here in the middle of their careers who have plenty of years of productivity ahead of them. That deepens the talent pool in a way that's really attractive for the companies that we're speaking to. Again, I think all of this goes back to some of those quality of life issues that make North Carolina is such a great place to be. Janet: 12:11 What are the things that I found fascinating is the number of industries that you all represent or anyone who wants to have a business in North Carolina. How do you keep a talent pool at the EDPNC that knows how to talk to different verticals like health care or consumer electronics or manufacturing or furniture or whatever. That sounds like you have to have a pretty big staff. Chris: 12:36 Well, it obviously helps to have some background and knowledge of a particular industry, especially what that industry is often looking for when it comes to selecting a new place to do business. But all that said, I would say that economic developers, including our team of recruiters here by definition, have to be more generalists than specialists. That's because on any given day today, you could be working with a fortune 500 corporate headquarters that's looking to relocate because they don't feel like they've got enough talent where they are right now and they need to move to a market that does. Or the next day you could be working with an automotive assembly plants that's looking at where it's going to locate the next day. After that. It could be a consumer package goods manufacturer that's looking at where it's going to set up a new production facility. The next day after that. It could be a biotech research and development center. Chris: 13:29 Bottom line is every single day really does bring a different set of conversations, so rather than focus on becoming experts in all of these industries or a jack of all trades, master of none. What's more important for us as the salespeople or the frontline salespeople for North Carolina is really be able to plug those companies in and that we're trying to recruit. Get them in front of some of those subject matter experts and other resources that are here in North Carolina. That can articulate the case for why those companies can be successful here. It's ultimately about building the right team around the table that can collectively make that pitch and convince that company why this is the best location for them. So I think for us it's about understanding what that company's looking for and then matching them up with the information and the resources that will help them get to that understanding that North Carolina is really the only place they need to look. Janet: 14:24 I am curious about the word partnership in your title. So who are you partnering with and why would a current company be interested in partnering with you to bring more companies here? Chris: 14:37 Sure. So great question. I mean it's very deliberate why we have that word in our name. As I said, even though we are fortunate to often be that first point of contact that companies and their consultants reach out to when they're thinking about where to expand, nothing we do is accomplished without a very broad team efforts. Again, we're working at a state level. We have partners like the North Carolina Department of Commerce around the table. Sometimes you'll even get agencies like the environmental quality department which handles all the permitting, very important issue for manufacturers. Sometimes you may have the state transportation department, which of course could help with somebody infrastructure needs that a company is thinking about that's just at the state level alone. You get down to a regional level and down to a local level and there are a lot of partners at each of those stages that are also wanting to be able to add value and help further that argument to accompany as to why they need to be here and then of course we've got a lot of private sector partners. Chris: 15:36 Again, utility companies play a big role in that business recruitment effort. Construction companies can often be very valuable in that effort. We are, as I said earlier, we are trying to put the best team around the table that can articulate the most impactful case to companies as to why North Carolina's their best choice for their future growth. That symphony of partners is going to look different probably every single project that we're working on because the needs of every single company are different. When it comes to their future growth, so I think that's a big part of why that term partnership is part of Our Name and it doesn't just come into play when we're trying to recruit companies that you look at what we do on the tourism front or helping companies export and in all of those areas we also team up with a lot of other organizations that can help us accomplish the mission that we're entrusted with. Chris: 16:30 So like I said, partnership is a key part of economic development. Everyone who's in this business will tell you it very much is a team sport. We of course hope that as more companies come to North Carolina, we can convert some of those companies into being surrogate spokespeople and ambassadors for North Carolina. The best success story tellers that we can recruit are the ones who have come here and done business and been successful because if they can go out there and tell their peers in the industry by North Carolina is a great place to be, that's going to be far more than those words coming from the mouths of folks like us paid to say good things about North Carolina. That business to business, peer to peer testimony. That's another way that we hope to partner with companies as we get that story out there about North Carolina. Janet: 17:15 One of the unique things about the consumer electronic show where we're going to be in Eureka Park is it's all about the startup community and what I love about North Carolina is it does have everything from the a five decade companies with experience to brand new startups and I know that's one of the things that North Carolina has focused on and what we're looking at is what we're growing in our own backyard. So tell me a little bit about the economic development partnerships role in helping startups in North Carolina. Chris: 17:48 Sure, absolutely. I think we would assist startups in pretty much the same way we would assist any company that approaches us for assistance. Those startup companies, whether their needs are around capital, whether their needs a hiring a certain kind of talent, whether those needs are the ability to partner with universities. We have a number of world class universities here in North Carolina. Sometimes those early stage startup companies may even be looking for access to particular types of customers or an entree into a particular customer relationship that would benefit them down the road. Any and all of these ways are ways that we believe we can add value by helping those startup companies get to where they want to be. Of course, it's on those startup companies to prove that a venture capital firm should invest in them. It's up to them to prove that a potential customer should buy their product or service. Of course, that's always going to be the case, but if we can help facilitate some of those introductions to those resources here in North Carolina, that ultimately is something we want to do because that can lead to those startup companies starting right here in our state or putting all of their future growth here. Janet: 18:58 Well, of course we're on a podcast talking about trade shows and trade shows must be an important part of how you're getting the message out of the EDPNC Chris: 19:08 they are, as I said, it'd be great if we had infinite resources for marketing and could plaster every available surface, Pro North Carolina message, but unfortunately that's not the not the world we live in or wherever the world, but I will live in so we have to be very strategic and very focused about how we get out there and tell that story of North Carolina as a business location, industry conferences, industry, trade shows, events like CES. These are great platforms for us because they congregate so many companies in that targeted industry sector that we want to go after. When you think about CES and the kinds of innovative technology companies that CS attracts large, small in between, it really ought to be fertile grounds for us to make connections, develop relationships, and most importantly, get that message out about North Carolina being an excellent place for business to start, grow or locate. Janet: 20:03 I think one of the interesting things, you will find it CES, where we are in Eureka Park is interestingly, it is predominantly foreign countries who are represented there and we found our experience last year was that most of the states were not represented, so we're very excited that North Carolina is going to be banned or leading with prison said the Eureka Park as part of CES. Chris: 20:29 We're absolutely thrilled as well. It'll be our first time at CES. I suspect it won't be our last time though. Like I said, when you think about the kinds of companies that will be gathered at CES, you think about the value proposition. North Carolina has everything from talent pool to university research to quality of life, cost of doing business. We have all of the elements that any of these companies, again, large, small and in between would be craving as they think about where they're going to expand in the future and we're just really excited to be able to get out there and start telling that story in this setting. Speaker 2: 21:02 And for those who are listening who planned to come to CES, you can find the North Carolina Startup pavilion in Eureka Park, which is the startup park. We saw Mark Cuban there last year, so who knows who's going to come by this year and to find us more easily. Look for Singapore. We're across the street from them. Chris: 21:21 It is a small world, right? Janet: 21:23 Absolutely, and I'm really. It's like being in an international environment. Absolutely. In, in Eureka Park. Well, Chris, I am so excited that the economic development partnership of North Carolina is going to be with us at CES and I very much look forward to telling more stories about the exciting things that are going on in North Carolina. I'm a big fan girl and hopefully I'll be wearing a North Carolina shirt while I'm there. Chris: 21:48 We'll count on seeing you in it. Janet: 21:50 You've been listening to trade show, live on the road. This podcast is a production of the trade show manager and features in depth interviews with people, the companies, and the organizations that really bring trade shows to life. We'll see you in January at CES, the consumer electronic show. Thanks for listening.

Time to get reacquainted with the full Horrible Show cast and what better way to ease into things than to go over the news of the past month. In our Threesomes of the Week, Cole gets a bit too close to the Pawn Stars cast and Ethan finally figures out what is wrong with Michigan. Our On the Spot question looks back at the recent Horrible Night Out and asks: Are there any good games at Dave and Buster’s? Sure, September was a busy month with PAX, TGS, and a Nintendo conference, but we could have sworn someone said Duke Nukem Forever was really going to be released. Our Name the Mascot contest moves into phase 2 this week, be sure to cast your vote to enter to win an Xbox Live subscription. We give a shout out to the newest member of The Cursed – streetalchemist. We end the show on a helpful note by analyzing/mocking a new dating option for gamers.Show NotesCast:JDevL, Colefacekilla, Wizardtrain187, Jadetiger CGGuide:Intro and Off-topic – (00:44 – 18:36)On the Spot Question – (18:37 – 23:23)Does September 2010 Matter? – (23:29 – )Ethan: Medal of Honor, Dead Space 2 Multiplayer – (23:40 – 35:22)Christina: Activision and White House, Rate of Halo Releases – (35:25 – 47:29)Cole: Xbox Live Pricing, Super Mario Collection, Case Zero Sales – (47:32 – 1:01:03)Justin: Hydrophobia PR, Nintendo 3DS Pricing, Duke Nukem Forever – (1:01:05 – 1:17:21)HorribleNight.com Updates – (1:17:24 – 1:18:52)Shout Outs – (1:18:55 – 1:22:45)Games:Halo: Reach, Dead Rising 2, Bit.Trip Beat, Madden Season 2, Blazing Angels, Medal of Honor, Modern Warfare 2, Dead Space 2, BioShock 2, Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, Prince of Persia (series), Halo (series), The Legend of Zelda (series), Tony Hawk (series), Guitar Hero (series), Super Mario All-Stars, Dead Rising 2: Case Zero, Dead Rising 2: Case West, Hydrophobia, Duke Nukem Forever, Borderlands, Serious SamThreesomes of the Week:Cole: Pawn Stars, Open, Halo: ReachChristina: Halo: Reach, Ghost in the Shell (series), A Few Good MenEthan: I’m Still Here, Dead Rising 2, Weird MichiganJustin: The Colony, Electric Six – Zodiac, Bit.Trip BeatHeadlines:1) Medal of Honor’s Taliban Renamed To ‘Opposing Force’2) Hands-on: Dead Space 2 multiplayer3) Activision Blizzard Teams With White House To Develop Smart People4) MS: Rate of Halo releases to be more frequent than before5) Microsoft Raising Xbox Live Price6) Super Mario Collection Special Pack Images7) Dead Rising 2: Case Zero breaks XBLA download record8) The Jimquisition: YOU’RE PLAYING THE GAME WRONG!9) All of the 3DS, Wii and DS news in one convenient spot10) Duke Nukem Forever coming ’2011′ on Xbox 360, PS3 & PC, courtesy of GearboxReferences:Chumlee, Brooke Shields, Electric Six – Gay Bar video, Dave and Buster’s, Change the Equation, Game Feast, PAX, Nathan Drake, streetalchemist, informational podcast, ra1nmann, GameCrush.com,
What's the appeal of crystal meth? Is it really worth taking, just so you can experience our podcast in 3D? Probably not, for at least two reasons. Stick with the alcoholism, OK? Our Name 5 Things segment this week takes a pornographic turn when Warren asks us to derive the adult movie parody titles for several recent Hollywood films. You might think that those few minutes spent thinking of bad puns have limited appeal. Good call! But it's still fun to learn about our favourite porn genres. Spoiler alert: T-Bone knows a lot about this topic. If you wish to use any of our titles for your pornographic film (whether or not you think it will appeal to small penis fetishists), email us to discuss a suitable royalty arrangement (maskedman@limitedappeal.net).

Announcements include the relaunch of Ancestry Magazine, the purchase of ProQuest Information and Learning (the division of ProQuest that includes HeritageQuest Online) by Cambridge Information Group, the release of Calico Pie's Family Historian 3.1 (more info at www.family-historian.co.uk), The National Archives (UK) online release of UK Outbound Passenger Lists (with a 10% extra free if you buy units using code AOB10PCX) with more info at ancestorsonboard.com, and the ISFHWE Annual Writing Contest (more info at www.rootsweb.com/~cgc/contest.htm). Listener e-mail asks about how to present (and sometimes limit) information shared with newly found cousins. George and Drew, following up on last week's podcast in which they discussed the hardware they use, identify their favorite genealogy-related software tools (even when they aren't specifically for genealogy). Finally, George and Drew review the new series of surname books published by Ancestry.com entitled "Our Name in History".

Jeff Patterson works as staff of the anti-war, peace organization, "Not in Our Name". He was a war resistor in 1990. Although he had been in the Marines for 4 years and was a Corporal he refused to go fight in the war against Iraq even though he only had a few remaining weeks before he was due to be discharged from the Marines. He spent some time in prison and has since been working for peace. Among the many ways in which he does this is that he often speaks to high school students encouraging them to not join the military and advising them about conscientious objection.
