Podcasts about our us

Our US brother Joseph Mathias recently graduated with a Master in Theology- so we thought we’d interview him and find out what he studied and what he learned. Enjoy!

This week, Allie, Adam, and Arri talk about Chapter 1, Owl Post. Inside this episode you’ll find: a discussion on the volume at which Harry writes using his quill on parchment, an introduction to the classic textbook The Monster Book of Monsters, and why it takes Harry an hour to open three gifts. We hope you will all take time this week to schedule an appointment to be vaccinated for COVID-19 if you have not already done so. Our US listeners can find vaccinations sites here or here.

The trial of Derek Chauvin, the former police officer accused of killing George Floyd on May 25, 2020, opened on March 8 in the US city of Minneapolis. After a two-week-long jury selection process, the first witnesses took the stand on March 29. Chauvin is facing three charges, including second- and third-degree murder. With the world watching, Floyd's family and racial justice activists are hoping this trial will be a turning point for how justice is served in the country. Our US correspondents Fanny Allard and Kethevane Gorjestani report.

2021 will offer us all some new beginnings. Political leaders take office with the prospect of a COVID vaccine on the horizon. However, millions of people are reeling from the economic consequences of the pandemic. Millions more are angry over the election outcome. How do we move our democracy forward? Our Us & Them virtual dinner party is back - this time, for dessert. Our guests, from across the divide, will talk about how honest, open conversation can help us come together.

Ten years ago, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, was signed into law by Barack Obama himself. The Democratic president's signature policy heralded a revolution in the US by expanding affordable healthcare coverage to an unprecedented number of Americans. Since then, its popularity has grown, with support for it on the rise as the Covid-19 pandemic rages on. But over the past decade, Republicans have repeatedly tried to repeal the law, taking their battle all the way to the Supreme Court. Our US correspondents bring us this special report.

Joe Biden is inching ever closer to the White House, but will his ambitions be dead on arrival if the Republicans hold the Senate? Our US correspondent, David Gardner, says the Democrat's going to struggle to get his big ideas, like healthcare reform, through without the upper chamber. He also says that Donald Trump's fighting tooth and nail to hold onto the top job, and even if the incumbent loses he will retain an extraordinary power in a divided country. Also, coronavirus cases are falling in swathes of London, so did the capital really need to shut up shop? The Evening Standard's deputy political editor Nicholas Cecil says Covid-19 infections are down in 19 out of 32 boroughs and the widespread declines are an encouraging sign that the rise in cases is now starting to plateau. On the first day of a new lockdown in England, Nicholas tells us questions are being asked about whether London can exit it early? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Following the death of George Floyd, a Black man killed by a White police officer in the US state of Minneapolis back in May, the US erupted in protests as hundreds of thousands of people, regardless of skin colour, took to the streets to call for justice and police reform. But since then, Black Lives Matter protests have continued and other African-Americans have been killed or seriously injured by police forces. Do African-Americans face systemic racism? Our US correspondents Fanny Allard, Matthieu Mabin and Kethevane Gorjestani report.

The government is under growing pressure to u-turn on guidance for face mask wearing in schools in England. A large number of headteachers are ignoring official advice and telling students and staff they must have them in crowded spaces like corridors. Scotland's First Minister's also ruled secondary schools there must use masks from Monday. Will Westminster follow, just as it did with the exam result fiasco? We speak to Julie McCulloch from the Association of School and College Leaders who says if a change is coming it better be soon, because some schools are preparing to open within days. And the Republican National Convention continues in the States with speakers including Donald Trump's son Eric and daughter Tiffany. That follows last night's addresses from Donald Trump Jr, his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle and the President himself. Our US correspondent David Gardner says the GOP's big event's been wholly taken over by the Trump family, and planned messages about "a land of promise" thrown out in favour of apocalyptic doom warnings if Joe Biden wins. Mr Trump also claims the Democrats are trying to "steal" the election. Is it working on voters as polls consistently show the President trailing his rival for the White House?

We’re staying in to watch Kids’ films this week, regardless of your age. We begin with the 7½-minute French short “Jubilé” about how the Queen is helped by a corgi and a guardsman. You’ll find it at http://tinyurl.com/fqfn-09-short Our US feature film is called “Shorts” from the director of both the “Spy Kids” series and “From Dusk to Dawn”. This is an imaginative story about what happens when kids and adults get hold of a wishing-stone. It’s inventive and gross at times. Probably not one for the littlies. You’ll find its IMDB profile at http://tinyurl.com/fqfn-09-film You can watch it on Netflix – or rent/buy it via iTunes, Google Play or Microsoft. And WE wish you’d leave your responses on our Facebook page. (Thank you)

Last December executives at the Carlyle Group worked into the night to sign what they imagined would be one of the private equity firm’s most enduring deals. In 2020, however, there may be no such thing as a stable business. Carlyle is now trying to walk away from a deal with American Express Global Business Travel before any money has changed hands. Our US private capital correspondent, Mark Vandevelde, reports on the ensuing legal row, and what it could mean for dealmaking during the pandemic.

Three renown global security leaders share their insights on how to be prepared to emerge from the disruption of COVID, identifying what needs to be rebuilt, the increasing importance of an intelligence-driven approach to corporate security, the “Spring Training” model for recovery, and why empathy is the cornerstone for leaders shepherding their teams amidst this crisis. Our US-based Director, Greg Hoobler, moderates this conversation with Paul Moxness, Mark Sanna, and Rich Davis.

The Health Secretary, Matt Hancock's written in the Evening Standard to outline the Government's coronavirus “battle plan”. He describes how the country is in a ‘containment' phase, and calls on the public to ‘do their duty' to stop its spread. He also says the government has the powers to ‘enforce' self-isolation. As the number of cases in the UK rises again, the newspaper's comment editor Susannah Butter talks to the podcast about what the government's doing, and how far it can go. Super Tuesday 2020They call it “Super Tuesday” – when Democrats from 14 states across America will vote for who they want to take on President Trump. Apart from the election itself in November, this is the biggest night in US politics this year. Pete Buttigieg didn't last the distance, dropping out on Sunday, leaving candidates including Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren, Mike Bloomberg and four others scrambling to pick up votes.

February 24, 2019 Sermon by Pastor Kim about how respect and love help make "Our Us" the Best Us it can be.

The annual convention of the International Bunkering Industry Association is perhaps not traditionally the highest profile event in the industry’s calendar, but with the sulphur cap on everyone’s horizon this year’s shindig has attracted a bit more interest, so we sent our chief correspondent Richard Clayton and our man with 2020 vision Anastassios Adamopoulos to Copenhagen this week to find out what all the fuss was about. Meanwhile, over in the US it’s the LNG sector that is keeping everyone excited right now. With freight rates heading to potentially unprecedented peaks, it will be no surprise if a rash of contracting gives the shipyards something to celebrate come Lunar New Year 2019. But on the demand-side the US is increasingly interesting when it comes to gas. Our US editorial team, Eric Watkins in Los Angeles and Mark Fuechec in Boston, join Lloyd’s List editor and podcast host, Richard Meade, to discuss the view of the market from a US perspective.

Xiaohua: Hello! And welcome to round table’s word of the week. This week we are talking about some banking related terms. Cause you know everyone needs the bank, but not everyone knows some of the terms are you use we you go to one. John: Yeah. It is true. If only we didn’t all need to use the bank, but as Xiaohua said we’ll be looking at, if you’re going abroad, and in particular if you’re going to the US and you have to deposit a check or maybe make a withdrawal, well, you wanna take a listen real quick. So first of all, if you go to a bank and you want to get money out of your account, you would go up to the teller, so it’s the person who is working behind the desk and say, “I would like to make a withdrawal.”Xiaohua: 当去银行要提款的时候就要说这句话了，另外teller就是银行的柜员。John: Then the teller might ask you how would you like the money. That basically means what types of notes and how many notes do you want for that withdrawal. Xiaohua: How would you like the money 可不是说你想要什么样的钱，而是说你想要什么面值的钞票。John: Right. It’s not do you want that in RMB or do you want that in US dollars. No. Do you want that in tens, fives or twenties, fifties (Xiaohua: Exactly.) or in one hundreds? But don’t ask for one hundreds, because very few stores actually accept that. And then looking at if you want to put money in, you can say I would like to make a deposit, so you are depositing money. You can also say, for example, maybe you have your check from work. And you can say to the teller I would like to deposit this check. Xiaohua: 需要存钱的话就说make a deposit。另外check支票也是在英美国家经常用的，所以你有可能想要把某一张支票存入帐户。这时候就说deposit this check. John: Yeah. Deposit this check. You can say, I’d like to, you know, you can deposit cash. You can deposit a check or whatever form of payment you have. Let’s say that you’ve never been to that bank before. And you want to open a bank account. Well, that’s very simple. You just say I would like to open a bank account. Xiaohua: 在银行开户就是open a bank account.John: And you know, of course, life is not as simple or as easy as we would like it to be. Sometimes maybe you’ll lose your ATM card or you’ll lose your credit card. So you can call their service number or you can go to the bank and you can report a lost credit card or a stolen credit card. Xiaohua: 如果丢了银行卡或者是信用卡要挂失的时候就要说report a lost credit card or a stolen credit card. John: And here’s a pretty important difference. In banks there are many different types of accounts, as I’m sure you are already aware. But we are gonna look at some of the more broader categories. So in general, there are two types of accounts. One is a checking account and the other is a savings account. A checking account is an account that has very very low interest that you are making payments into and making withdrawals on a regular basis. Whereas the savings account has a slightly higher interest rate, and it is expected that there will not be very much activity on that account. Xiaohua: 下面来介绍一下经常会用到的几种帐户的名字。 Checking account 是支票帐户又是活期帐户的意思。而savings account指的是储蓄帐户或者是有一定利息的定期存款账户。John: Now let’s move away from these dry and slightly boring words and phrases and take a look at some bank related idioms. First, on the books is “break the bank”. Buying a new pair of shoes at a discount price won’t break the bank. Xiaohua: 下面我们来看一下一些跟银行有关的习语吧。Break the bank 可不是什么抢劫银行的意思，而是说你的钱都花光了。John: Right. And then “bank on something”. Man I am so reliable, of course you can bank on me. Xiaohua: Bank on something是信赖某事，信赖某人。John: Then of course “you can take that to the bank” or take it to the bank. Our US president Barack Obama is very famous for saying that in one of his election campaign speeches, making a promise and he says you can take that to the bank. And of course, what I am telling you is the truth. You can take it to the bank. Xiaohua: Take it to the bank 是说我打包票我说的都是真的，你可以去求证的意思。据说奥巴马也非常喜欢用这个词。And that’s all we have for this week’s word of the week. John: Bye Bye.
