A politician in a neighbouring county has hit out at the "painstakingly slow" progress of Clare infrastructural projects. It follows concerns raised over blockages to housing development in Cooraclare, Broadford and Kilkishen. New wastewater systems for Cooraclare and Broadford were approved in December 2023, but no ground has been broken to date, while in Kilkishen plans for a 61 unit housing estate have been rejected twice due to sewerage deficiencies. Addressing the Housing Minister, Fine Gael's Seanad Housing Spokesperson Senator PJ Murphy says communities here are extremely frustrated.

Painstakingly researched and written by football-obsessed writer and experienced game journalist, historian, and documentarian Richard Moss – author of Bitmap's own The Secret History of Mac Gaming – A Tale of Two Halves: The History Of Football Video Games stays keenly on the ball as it shares the rich and influential history of video game football – or 'soccer', for our American readers – striving to understand the very best the genre has to offer; and those releases that go a little wide of their target. A Tale of Two Halves takes you on a fascinating journey from the very first examples of the form all the way through to the genre's 2000s' heyday. It hits the back of the net with expert analysis of over 400 football games, including Sensible Soccer, Kick Off, Match Day, FIFA, Pro Evolution Soccer, This Is Football, Championship Manager, Premier Manager, and both old-school and new-school Football Manager. Gathered together in a single volume, that remarkable spread of releases presents a surprising variety of interpretations of the beautiful game, showcasing one of the medium's most creative, beguiling realms. A Tale of Two Halves primarily focuses on footy gaming's formative years – meaning from around 1980 to 2010 – and carefully divides the genre into two distinct halves, taking a considered look at each. As such, the first half is dominated by the fast and simple 2D action of icons like Kick Off, International Soccer, and Nintendo's Soccer. Then, following the half-time whistle, it turns its attention to the increasingly realistic 3D outings defined by icons like FIFA, Pro Evo, and Virtua Striker. Across its 628 pages, A Tale of Two Halves also features a foreword by legendary commentator Clive Tyldesley, hundreds of meticulously realised screenshots, and 13 interviews with pioneering football game developers. Inside you'll also find a series of illustrations from James Reynolds' 'Unlicensed FC' project – which celebrates Pro Evo's unusual takes on players' real names – as well as perfectly pitched pixel art from the team at 8-Bit Football. Numerous gaming platforms are covered, from the Atari 2600 and C64 to the Collecovison, via the Amiga line, PlayStation 1, Xbox 360, Arcades, and many more. Rudolf Thomas Inderst is a professor of Game Design with a focus on Digital Game Studies at the IU International University of Applied Science, department lead for Games at Swiss culture magazine Titel kulturmagazin, radio host of “Replay Value”, editor of “DiGRA D-A-CH Game Studies Watchlist”, a weekly messenger newsletter about Game Culture and curator of @gamestudies at tiktok.

Louise P. Sloane (b. 1952) has been active as an abstract painter since 1974, infusing her works with personal text that motivates her own experimentation. The visual language of her paintings continues the legacy of reductive and minimalist ideologies, while celebrating color and the human inclination towards mark making. Sloane's detail-oriented works are typically divided into rectangles or squares. The quadrangle has become a repetitive motif, often centrally featured within the context of a grid. In contrast with her iterative geometries, it is important to Sloane that the works present themselves as human made objects. Thick paint constructs repetitive handmade patterns, the physical motion of her brush strokes revealing the humanity of her practice. The surface holds Sloane's signature extrusions. Painstakingly written and overwritten, Sloane's inscribed text is a form of private meditation. Turned into a relief, and abstracted through color blocking, the text is interpreted through its physicality, not its meaning. Contrasting color choices intensify the dimensionality of the surface texture. Sloane uses color straight-up, without mixing. Blending takes place optically, as one color reacts to the other, red against green, or blue against yellow. The elements of mark-making, color, and geometry compete for the viewer's focus, keeping the eyes and mind in constant motion, unifying her interests in the form of the square. Sloane's work has been featured in numerous institutional collections, including the Hunterdon Museum of Art, Coral Springs Museum of Art, the Jane Voorhees Zimmerli Art Museum, and Cornell Museum of Art and History. Sloane's works are in the permanent collections of the Heckscher Museum of Art, the New Britain Museum of American Art, the Nassau County Museum of Art, Yeshiva University Museum, the Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art, and the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (the Sidney and Francis Lewis Collection).

**NOTE: This was recorded last Winter, during the old days when we recorded out of a shed with a failing solar power system. This interview went about ten minutes longer but a chunk of it had to be cut due to digital distortion that actually had nothing to do with the electrical issues. God bless Erik Dorr for saving us from that shed!***   This social and cultural history of Civil War medicine and science sheds important light on the question of why and how anti-Black racism survived the destruction of slavery. During the war, white Northerners promoted ideas about Black inferiority under the guise of medical and scientific authority. In particular, the Sanitary Commission and Army medical personnel conducted wartime research aimed at proving Black medical and biological inferiority. They not only subjected Black soldiers and refugees from slavery to substandard health care but also scrutinized them as objects of study. This mistreatment of Black soldiers and civilians extended after life to include dissection, dismemberment, and disposal of the Black war dead in unmarked or mass graves and medical waste pits. Simultaneously, white medical and scientific investigators enhanced their professional standing by establishing their authority on the science of racial difference and hierarchy. Drawing on archives of the U.S. Sanitary Commission, recollections of Civil War soldiers and medical workers, and testimonies from Black Americans, Leslie A. Schwalm exposes the racist ideas and practices that shaped wartime medicine and science. Painstakingly researched and accessibly written, this book helps readers understand the persistence of anti-Black racism and health disparities during and after the war.   https://uncpress.org/book/9781469672694/medicine-science-and-making-race-in-civil-war-america/   Become a patron so that we never have to work out of a shed again!

Back when I started my podcast, if I wanted clear, uncompressed audio that didn't have that random robot voice you'd get from an unstable connection, I'd need to do a few things: Use Skype + eCamm Recorder (RIP) to record my audio cleanly. Send my guest clear instructions on how to record their audio with either Quicktime on the Mac, or Voice Recorder on Windows. Walk through the process with my guest to make sure they're getting clean audio (that is, audio with no echo). Still record a backup, just in case. Give my guests a place where they could upload the audio. Painstakingly sync the audio when I combined them in GarageBand or Audacity. Things are different now.

"From the Frontlines" is an ADL podcast. It is hosted by ADL New York/New Jersey Director Scott Richman and focuses on ADL's efforts to fight hate and antisemitism in the United States and around the world. A frontline in the fight against hate is the battle against extremists, such as the Oath Keepers. But, one year ago, those fighting this battle were given a gift. The Oath Keepers data base of 38,000 names was leaked by a group of journalists. Through painstaking analysis, ADL has looked at every one of those 38,000 names and analyzed who they are. Those in positions of power are obviously of greatest concern. That analysis by the ADL's Center on Extremism was just released, and Alex Friedfeld played a lead role. He is an Investigative Researcher in ADL's Center on Extremism, and he was the guest on today's show to tell us what he found. For the full report on the Oath Keepers database, visit https://www.adl.org/resources/report/oath-keepers-data-leak-unmasking-extremism-public-life. This podcast originally aired as a radio show September 8, 2022 on WVOX 1460 AM.

THE NEXT MORNING, Herb went to see his uncle Ben. “Uncle Ben,” he said, “I want to go back to Chacallit.”     “Good!” said Ben. “So do I. I've got an idea that is going to revolutionize the coarse-goods business.”     Herb looked at his uncle with the wariness he'd inherited from his mother. “This isn't going to lose you money, is it, Uncle Ben?”     Benjamin colored, thrust his hands into his pockets, and cleared his throat. “It's not kind of you to ask a question like that, Herb,” he said. “The Doughboy's Dozen was a dandy idea, and I should have made out all right with it.” He pressed his lips together for a moment. “Commerce is a matter of subtleties, Herb,” he said, shaking his head. “Subtleties and chances. And luck. You've got to take chances if you're going to get anywhere. You've got to understand the subtleties. You've got to have luck. I wasn't lucky.”     “I don't follow you, Uncle Ben,” said Herb.     “I made a little mistake, Herb,” said Ben. He held his hand up, showing a small gap between his thumb and forefinger. “A little mistake. I thought the war would last longer. I figured we'd still be in it now. If it had lasted another five months, just five months, we'd have come out all right on the Doughboy's Dozen. If it were still on now, we'd be comfortable, Herb, very comfortable.”    “Uncle Ben!” said Herb.    “Oh, don't get me wrong,” said Ben. “I don't mean I wish it had lasted longer. I just mean that if it had, we'd be comfortable.” He shook his head. “Very comfortable,” he added. There was a silence between them for a while. Then Ben said suddenly, “But never mind that! It's all over and done with, and I've got a terrific idea! Not only is it a good idea, but it doesn't take any of our money.”     “That sounds like a great idea,” said Herb. “What is it?”     Ben grinned and reached into his pocket. He brought out something that he quickly concealed with both hands. He held his hands out, one cupped over the other, hiding and protecting something precious, as he might have held a tiny bird. Slowly, he opened his hands. There, cupped in Ben's hands, was the world's first piece of animated coarse goods.     Herb burst out laughing. “Gosh!” he said. “Will you look at that workmanship!”     Ben's prototype was a crude piece of work. The two wax figures were badly modeled, thickset, lumpy, graceless. The mechanism was nothing more than a pair of heavy wire forms joined by a loop (not unlike the link swivels that Lorna once fashioned) and kept apart by a tiny coil spring. A crank turned a cam against the wire on which the man, the upper figure, was molded, and the action of the cam provided the jerky up-and-down motion that was all the animation of which the couple was capable. The act they performed was crude and basic. The woman just lay there; the man pounded away at her, up and down, in and out, grimly, mechanically.     “It needs work,” said Ben. “I know that. I don't have the talent to do anything better than this. But you do. You do, Herb. You're mechanically inclined. This kind of thing — much better than this, mind you, but this kind of thing — could be very successful, Herb. It could fit into a little case, like a pocket watch. It could go onto a chain just like a watch. Or it could take the place of a fob. Or maybe it would just be something a guy would carry in his pocket. The stem could make it work. You'd turn the stem instead of this crank, and — well, you see what I'm getting at, don't you?”     “Yes,” said Herb, his mind already occupied with a set of interesting ideas prompted by the clumsy little couple. “I do.”     Ben's idea was a good one, and Herb saw that it was immediately. Animated coarse goods could sell for much higher prices, at a much greater margin of profit, than static carvings. If Ben could get such things manufactured in Chacallit without risking any money, he might recoup the losses he'd taken on the Doughboy's Dozen. Herb worked night and day for a week to produce a more successful prototype, fabricated from two female figures that had been part of a shipment of conventional, static coarse goods from Chacallit. First, he had to make the tools his work would require. Then he had to transform one of the figures into a male. He wasn't entirely pleased with the success of this operation, but he knew that he wasn't likely to achieve anything better, so he went on to the articulation of the figures.     Painstakingly, he cut the figures apart at the elbow, shoulder, hip, and knee joints and across their abdomens, so that he could achieve more versatile and fluid movement than Ben's figures had been able to manage. As far as it was possible to do so, he concealed the articulating mechanism within the figures, which required him to drill through the arms and legs and to carve cavities in the figures where his tiny wires, cables, and pulleys could be concealed. The challenge to his ingenuity was exhilarating, much more so than designing the expandable shelves or the secret drawers or devising a repair for the mess-kit cup handles had been, and Herb took great pleasure in the work. In a week, he had finished, and, on the whole, he was pleased. Ben was overjoyed.     “Brilliant work, Herb!” he said. “Brilliant! You're a genius at this, my boy. You've got a great future! Collectors are going to be after these, and they're going to want different positions, different ways of — well — moving, and so on. You're going to be able to name your price. You've got talent, Herb, real talent.”     Herb shook his head. “No, Uncle Ben,” he said. “I did this for you, but I won't do any more. I'm getting out of coarse goods. I'm in love with Lorna Huber. She's a wonderful girl, and I'm sure she'd be ashamed of me if she knew about this.”In Topical Guide 287, Mark Dorset considers Art: Movable Models of the Human Figure (Share the Experience) and Technical Explanations: The Musculoskeletal Structure of the Human Body that Enables It to Assume a Wide Variety of Sexual Positions from this episode.Have you missed an episode or two or several?You can begin reading at the beginning or you can catch up by visiting the archive or consulting the index to the Topical Guide.You can listen to the episodes on the Personal History podcast.

Little White Dove Bobcat Crossed Rainbow Bridge   Despite having her leg in a cast, Dr. Wynn took her lunch break to come ease Little White Dove to the other side.  A couple weeks ago, when Little White Dove stopped eating we did diagnostics that found her 20 year old kidneys to be failing, but she had some bad molars that could have stopped her from eating too.  We opted to remove those and see if that was enough to get her going again.   It wasn't. Painstakingly, her keepers begged her to eat and offered every variety of food from chopped to pureed to encourage her to eat, but she peaked at 6 oz in a day and declined from there.  For a cat who can eat a couple of pounds a day, this was not enough.   Keepers kept reporting how “sad” Running Bear was and every time I went by he seemed to be as close to his long time mate as he could be.  He knew she was leaving and he seemed to want every last moment to count.  I know he's going to miss her now, but letting her go peacefully today was the kindest thing we could do.   Little White Dove had been born to Little Feather and The Great Pretender on 5/19/97 back before we learned that none of these cats could ever go free or ever serve any sort of conservation purpose.  Running Bear was born June 2, 1997 to Shiloh and Precious and because they were kittens at the same time, Running Bear and Little White Dove grew up together and stayed together all these 20 long years.   This came up today because while Kathryn, Dr. Wynn and I were crying over Little White Dove's lifeless form, Kathryn asked if she had been bottle raised or momma raised.  Little White Dove was probably the most fierce cat on the property…if you were to believe the little fluff ball, so that's probably why Kathryn asked.   Little Feather had allowed us to co-raise her kittens.  Little Feather did all the hard work, and we handled them every day.  In our ignorance we thought it was the best of both worlds, but any exotic cat who is actually raised by their own mom, no matter how “tame” or “sweet” their mom is to people, the wild cat moms instills in the cubs that they should never trust people.   This is a big part of why it's so sad to see wild cats who were used as pay to play or photo props, because we know that they were torn from their moms early and never allowed to go back to her for the love and care that only their own mother can give.   Hi, I'm Carole Baskin and I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  These are my views and opinions.

Hear now the word of the Lord from Matthew 4:1-11. 4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But he answered, “It is written, “‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'” 5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple 6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, “‘He will command his angels concerning you,' and “‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.'” 7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.'” 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.'” 11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him. Matthew 4:1-11, ESV The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God endures forever. Well, in the year 1608, the French King Henry the Fourth opened the doors of a palace in Paris to up and coming artists. The arrangement was that artists would come and would live in this palace, which had a collection of some of the greatest works in the history of art. These artists would then be able to spend their days living in residence at this palace and copy these paintings. Painstakingly reproducing these paintings stroke by stroke, day by day, week by week, year by year. By this process of reproducing these paintings if they were given an apprenticeship where they were being trained by the old masters. Not because those masters were there, many of those masters had been dead for many years. They were being apprentice by studying how the Old Masters had produced the old masterpieces. Well, over 400 years later, that same palace, although it's no longer a palace, is a place where artists are still doing this. What was formerly the Louvre Palace is now a museum in Paris containing some of the greatest artworks in history, and the collection has certainly expanded. It's where up and coming artists can come in and set up their canvases and start to paint, copying the old works of the masterpieces stroke by stroke, day after day, week after week. When I was in high school, I remember them as set up all over the Louvre, painting these old masterpieces. Well, a few weeks ago, we went through this same story. When I preached on this passage, I was trying to show what Christ accomplished in this temptation story that we cannot replicate on our own. One of the main things I was trying to get across is that our salvation is not a do it yourself kind of a project. You can't watch a YouTube video, pick up a quick tutorial, you can't even read this passage and take away principles that then you can use to do it yourself, to work out your salvation on your own, apart from Christ. Rather, what we are seeing here is that Christ accomplish something real for us that we have failed to accomplish on our own. Christ obeyed perfectly where we have all fallen woefully short of the glory of God. So this morning, as we studied this passage again, we're not trying to learn how to work out our salvation on our own apart from Christ. Rather, we are studying this passage to be apprenticed by Christ. To study what the master has done, as he's gone ahead of us. Not to replicate it, but again to become his apprentices, to become his disciples, learning from him. Every move he is making in this passage, especially as we face the relentless, vicious attacks of Satan. Jesus, our master is teaching us not to paint, but to persevere in faith and obedience in the face of Satan's fiercest temptations. So our big idea today is we keep both of these ideas in mind. First of all, what Christ is accomplished that we could never do for ourselves and that we must receive from him by faith alone. But also as we see the pattern that Christ has given us; our big idea is this the Jesus gives us a pattern for walking by faith.. As we see our lord, our master working and responding to Satan with every turn of his temptations, we're seeing that Jesus is essentially responding to three questions that Satan is raising. First of all, is God good? That's the first essence of the temptation. The second temptation, its essence is this question, how do we know that God is good? Then the third temptation is getting at this question, is there any good apart from God? 1. Is God Good? 2. How do we Know That God is Good? 3. Is There any Good Apart From God? Is God Good? So in the first temptation where Satan is raising the question, is God good, we begin in verse one where we see that Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He was led by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil. Now this is very explicitly written to be in parallel. Because what we are seeing here is Matthew bringing out the two sides of what's happening in this story. First of all, that God is sovereign over this. Satan did not ambush Jesus in a dark alley in an unexpected way. The Holy Spirit led Jesus in the wilderness precisely so that this temptation could happen. God is sovereign over this temptation, but yet God did not tempt Jesus towards sin. God never tempts us towards sin. The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness, but yet he was tempted by the devil. It is Satan who tempts us to sin, not God. God never tempts us and yet he is sovereign over everything we experience. What this first verse also brings out is the way that Jesus willingly submitted, in dependence upon the Holy Spirit, to what was going to happen to him. This will set a lifelong pattern that Jesus will be constantly following, even when it isn't explicitly stated in this way. That Jesus is always following the lead of the Holy Spirit. Jesus regularly telling us that he has come to do the will of his Father, but here we are seeing the often unseen, invisible role of the Holy Spirit. As the Holy Spirit leads Jesus through everything, he must accomplish to fulfill all righteousness for his people. Here it's the Holy Spirit leading Jesus in the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Our salvation was accomplished by Christ, but as a trinitarian work, by the Father's sending the Son into this world, by the Holy Spirit's empowering and leading Jesus through his life. In verse two, then we see the prelude or the preface to this temptation. What happens before the actual temptation. That Jesus fasts for 40 days and 40 nights, he was hungry. Now Jesus is doing a couple of things. A few weeks ago, when we looked at this passage, the first time we talked about the fact that part of the reason that Jesus is in the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights is to symbolically re-enact the 40 years that the Israelites languished in the wilderness. They failed that scene. They failed their temptation, whereas Jesus succeeds. Jesus spends 40 days and 40 nights, and at the end of this, he is very hungry. So functionally what we are also seeing here, Matthew didn't have to state it, but Jesus is hungry after these 40 days of fasting, which sets up the actual temptation that Satan is going to bring. Where the Israelites, failed, Jesus, we will see, succeeded after he was so hungry after all of this time. So in verse three, we read the Tempter, the Devil, Satan, the one who tempts came and said to Jesus, If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread." Now, by saying it this way, if you are the Son of God, what Satan is doing is picking up on what happened at Jesus's baptism in the preceding passage. You remember there, when Jesus was baptized, a voice came from heaven, declaring, "This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased." The father identified Jesus as his son. Well, Satan picks up on that, and Satan twists that and says, well, if you are the Son of God. Brendan Crowe, a New Testament scholar says, "Maybe not "If you are the Son of God", but, "Since you are the Son of God." Satan isn't so much questioning the fact of Jesus's sonship, that'd be too direct, it's more subtle than that. He's testing the mode or the implications of Jesus's son ship. Since you are the Son of God, we all heard the voice, since you are the Son of God, well, why don't you go ahead and turn those stones into bread? He's saying, look, if you're the Son of God, and I'm not disputing that at the moment, can't you fix the problem? Can't you take matters into your own hands? Can't you meet your needs here. God created human beings to eat, can't you turn these stones into bread to feed yourself? What he's doing here is to raise a question that's designed to drive a wedge between Jesus and his father. He's trying to lead Jesus to distrust his father. He's leading in the same kind of question that Satan asked to Adam and Eve so many years earlier, when he said, "Did God really say you can't eat of any of the trees of the garden?" Well, the fact of the matter was God hadn't said anything of the sort. God had said, "You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, except the one tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Of that one, you shall not eat, for the day that you eat of it you shall surely die." But Satan was raising this question to get them to doubt, well, maybe God isn't good. Maybe God won't meet my needs. Maybe I can't trust God. Maybe I'm in a situation where if my needs are to be met, I have to take matters into my own hands, even if it will mean fudging the details of God's law just a little bit. Maybe I need to take this into my own hands. What Satan is doing here is to drive a wedge of distrust between Jesus and his father. Well, Jesus responds by citing the word of God. We read in verse four, "but he answered, It is written", and then he quotes Deuteronomy 8:3, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." Now, obviously, the Bible doesn't fill our stomach. We are hearing the word of God now, but trust me, there will be a fellowship meal afterwards where you can eat physical food, and that's a good thing, we want to do that. God loves to feed his people. Food is very important. What Jesus is saying here is that if it comes down to it, if I have to choose between eating and disobeying God, well, then I'm absolutely going to give up eating. If I have to choose between that and obeying God, I'm always going to choose obeying God instead of eating even what I think will be my needs. We should also see again as we're trying to study the strokes of this masterpiece, as we apprentice under Jesus. We should note the way that Jesus responds to the devil. He only speaks words of scripture. He doesn't embellish. He doesn't debate. He doesn't dialogue with Satan. He only quotes scripture. Whereas Eve entered into a debate she dialogued with Satan. She asked questions, she responded to question, We shouldn't do that because when we do that, we give up the upper ground. Because our enemy, as we will see in this passage, is a relentless liar. If we give him an inch, he will take a mile. He will keep coming if we debate with him. Because to debate with Satan, to enter into a dialogue, should I or shouldn't I, means that we are giving false legitimacy to something that is absolutely illegitimate. God has spoken, nothing more needs to be said. That's the way that Jesus responded, "It is written man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." This is the only Godly posture to take. Before I was in full time pastoral work, I spent a significant amount of time working in sales. I had to make a lot of cold calls. I had from those cold calls to try to set up meetings to try to pitch what we were doing to potential new customers. I spent a lot of time trying to perfect the scripts that I would use to be the most effective with people. So I would say the right words and the right way that hopefully would get the right results. In fact, I had scripts for every objection I faced. If they said they were busy, I had a response to that. If they asked me just to send them more information, well I knew that was just a way to put me off and I had a response to that. If they said they didn't need it, I had a response to that. The one thing I never had a response for because there's no way to respond to it, is if someone just says no and says nothing more. If they just say no, there's no way to negotiate, there's no way to build entry. There's no way to offer something. If they just say no, there's really nothing you can do except to hang up and dial the next phone number. Now, to be very clear, I'm a little bit comparing myself to Satan. However, what I was doing was to sell something that was legitimate. But what Satan is doing here is to sell something that is illegitimate. But in both cases, the same principle stands. The easiest way to say no is to say no and nothing more. Watch the way your master works here. He simply shuts down this temptation and doesn't give it any room for negotiation, for debate, for dialogue. Jesus actually warns us against doing that very thing later on at the end of the gospel of Matthew, in Matthew, 26:41, where he tells Peter, "Watch and pray that you might not enter into temptation." Now to enter into temptation is something more than, something beyond, something worse than simply being tempted. Because to enter into temptation is to enter into a dialogue about it in your soul. Try to think about it, to try to work on ways that maybe you can rationalize this. Maybe it's not as bad as you think. Maybe I can make room for this and obedience to God. So when you enter into them temptation, you are already playing right into the devil's hand and Jesus says, don't fall for it, watch and pray that you might not be deceived, that you might not enter into temptation. Don't enter into it, flatly refuse it and move on. Jesus is showing us here, our master is modeling for us, his apprentices, his disciples, how to trust God when we are at our weakest. What Jesus is reminding us here is that God is good, even when God leads us into places of suffering. For Jesus, it was 40 days in the wilderness for you it may be a health situation or a job situation or a family situation, something going on where you are suffering. Jesus reminding us here is that it is far worse to sin than to suffer faithfully and obediently. Most importantly, what Jesus models here and throughout this story is that we should not enter into the debate. Don't enter into the temptation. How do we Know that God is Good? We also must be prepared because our enemy will not relent when we refuse to entertain the fact that God might not be good. When we refuse to give up after the first volley of temptations, Satan will come again and his next move is often to attack the foundations of our certainty in the goodness of God. So if the first question was, is God good. Now we come to the second temptation, which raises the second question, well, how do we know God is good? How do we know God is good? That's in verses five through seven. So in verse five, we read, "Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple." Now the holy city is Jerusalem. When it talks about the pinnacle of the temple, the word here for temple is not the word that refers to the sanctuary where the Holy Places were, where the Altar of Incense was and stuff like that. This word for temple refers to the whole temple complex. So one of the buildings in the whole temple complex, Jesus was taken to the pinnacle of that building. Satan said to him in verse six, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will command his angels concerning you and, on their hands, they will bear you up lest you strike your foot against your stone against the stone.'" Now, Satan is again here attacking this idea of Jesus's sonship. Not necessarily questioning whether it's true, but here he's questioning prove that you are a true son of your father, prove that you trust your father, prove that you trust him by testing these commandments. These promises that God has given in scripture, that he will command his angels concerning you on their hands they will bear you up lest you strike your foot against a stone. Jesus, do you really believe Psalm 91:11-12? What he is asking is, how could you know that you can really trust God? When push comes to shove, when the rubber hits the road, when things get tough, how do you know that God will come through for you in this situation? What Satan is pushing Jesus to do is to put God to a test. To create a controlled environment, not to control because he's falling here, but a controlled environment where he is controlling the terms of the way the test comes. By this he's testing, will God be there for me at some uncertainty of the future of which I cannot predict. What Satan is tempting Jesus is to grasp for certainty and control over a situation by knowing whether he can trust in God. Now, Jesus sees through this once again and once again, he flatly quotes scripture and says nothing more. Verse seven, "Again, it is written You shall not put the Lord your God to the test." He's quoting Deuteronomy 6:16. There is a difference here between trusting God when we must, trusting God when we enter into these situations that we didn't plan and ask for, but we find ourselves in the middle of. There's a difference between trusting God when we must and stress testing God. You see the desire to stress test God, to know can I trust him in this or that situation, is an attempt to try to shift our confidence from God, from his promises and his power, and instead of trust in probabilities. I want to increase my level of certainty that God will come through for me when I need it. It's to approach God like a lawyer would trying to evaluate an insurance policy. Am I covered and all of these various angles? It's to ask, well, what if this happened? What if that happened? Rather than trusting God by saying, even if these things happen, I know my Savior and I know that he will take care of me. You've probably seen those mayhem commercials about where that crazy guy who personifies mayhem brings people through every random, inconceivable possibility for horrible things that might happen. The whole point of the commercial is, are you covered for this? Does your cut rate insurance cover you for that? Well, that's the kind of question that Satan is asking here. Do you have certainty that you're covered for this situation? Do you have control with it when you walk through the valley of the shadow of death God will be there? Or will your insurance policy lapse? The only way to be truly happy to be truly free is to make sure that you are covered, that's a stress test of God. When we stress test God, what we're doing is to take our eyes off of his promises and his power and to reduce our loving, Heavenly Father to an actuarial table of disaster probabilities. Do you treat God like an actuarial table? How much can I trust you, in what circumstances, to what degree? But once again, Jesus doesn't respond, except to quote the word of God and to flatly say no and move on. The question is for you, do you believe that God is good? And if so, how do you know that you can trust him? Because you've put him through a battery of stress tests or because you know his person, his promises and his power? Is There any Good Apart From God? Well, Jesus our master after walking masterfully through these two temptations, faces yet another temptation. Satan comes after him again from another angle. No longer does he bring up the question of if you are the Son of God, this time Satan drops the veil and goes right after what he wants from Jesus, and he offers Jesus the world in exchange for worship. The world in exchange for worship. So this brings us to the third temptation is there any good apart from God? Is there any good apart from God? The first question was, is God good? The second question is how do we know that God is good? The third question is what are my backup options? Is there good apart from God? In verse eight, we read, "Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain", we're not told which mountain, "and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, and he said to him, 'All these I will give to you if you will fall down and worship me.'" Now we have to stop there and be very clear about something. This was the precise purpose for which Jesus Christ came into the world. To bring all the nations and all the kingdoms of the world under his dominion and under his authority. That's very clear through the rest of the scripture. Jesus came to be the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Revelation 11:15 celebrates this fact that, "When the seventh angel blew his trumpet, there were loud voices in heaven, saying, 'The Kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever.'" That was the purpose our Lord came into this world, To bring all the kingdoms of the world under his dominion and his authority. The temptation is not for Jesus to claim the kingdoms of the world. The temptation is how Jesus would claim the kingdoms of the world. Because Jesus came into the world to claim the kingdoms of the world by going to the cross. That was the plan. That was the decree that was set before the foundations of the Earth was laid. That was the eternal covenant made between the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Father would send the Son into this world so the Son would die to purchase for himself a people, a kingdom that can never be shaken. Satan here is offering a pain free way to accomplish this mission. This is the temptation of pragmatism or the temptation of expediency. Will you sell your soul to gain your goal? It's very simple. It's an easy exchange. You get what you want, it'll only cost you your soul. Only at this point does Jesus speak extra words above and beyond the scripture. It's not to debate, not to consider this for a moment. It's rather to express horror and indignation at what Satan has suggested. "Be gone Satan, for it is written, you shall worship the Lord, your God and him only shall you serve." He tells Satan to be gone and then quotes Deuteronomy 6:13, there is no good outside of God. There's a very old saying that you can't con an honest man. Some people find that a little bit controversial because it happens all the time. The very honest people are taken advantage of because of their honesty. If you go to really important websites like Quora.com, where just random people from the internet debate these things, you can find a really interesting discussion. Is it true that you can't con an honest man? That's a saying I heard and was thinking about it a little bit. Someone named Michael Norton, I have no idea who this person is, but he made a very good point. He says certainly honest people can be scammed, but honest people can't be conned. He says a scam is one thing. It's when you offer someone x in exchange for y, they pay the y. It's an honest business transaction, so it seems. Then you never give them X. You never give them what you bargained for, that's a scam, and certainly honest people can be taken advantage of that way. Here's what he writes, I have no idea who this person is, but it was a really helpful point for understanding the nature of a con, a con artist. He says, "A con is more subtle. You see a chance to get X and all you have to do to get x to put up a small amount of money. It's not a fair business transaction. You put up a little in order to get a lot." So you get $10 million from a Nigerian prince in exchange for just $500 in bank fees. How many of us have gotten that offer in our email spam folder? Or you have the opportunity to split a wallet that was discovered and there's $1000 in it, and you just have to pay $100 of earnest money rather than doing what you should have done and turning it into the police to get back to the rightful owner. Here's what he writes, "The power of a con is that it relies on the victim believing that he's the one taking advantage of the situation. Anyone can get scammed, but you need to be dishonest to be conned." What Satan is doing here is offering a shortcut, a shady shortcut. He's saying, Jesus, I can give you this and all it's going to cost you is this. It's not a fair transaction. Jesus knows the price of redemption of his people, and it will cost the Lord of Glory nothing less than his life as he bleeds out on a cross. Satan is offering this shortcut, and Jesus sees right through it. He recognizes that if he goes this way, if he thinks that he can take control of this situation and find a shortcut around the cross to gain the goal of gaining all the kingdoms of the world, then he won't have won the victory. Even though he might have the kingdom of the world, he will still be under the authority of Satan, having offered his worship to the enemy of God. So Jesus absolutely refuses to do this, he's horrified by this opportunity. So Satan is cast away. We read in verse 11, "then the devil left him." Last time we talked about this passage, we talked about the fact that Jesus isn't just dodging a bullet that might reoccur at any point. Jesus is accomplishing something real here. By resisting temptation, succeeding where Adam and Eve had failed, Jesus is binding and casting away Satan so that he can continue forward with this phase of his public ministry. Jesus talks later about if you want to plunder someone's house, you have to first bind the strong man. That's what Jesus is doing here. Jesus is not coming as a thief, he is coming as the liberator who is coming to free captives from the filth of their dungeon of sin under the captivity of Satan, who now offers Jesus all the kingdoms of the world in exchange for worship. Your goal in exchange for your soul. Jesus resists this, and by this, he binds Satan. Now, the very next thing we are going to read about is that the doors have been opened. The barriers have been removed and our Lord, the conquering king, is going to move forward in the public ministry rescuing captives, as he goes all the way to the cross to purchase their final redemption. Here we read that after Jesus succeeds, after the devil leaves him, angels come and were ministering to him. Application Well, we've spent time studying the master strokes of this masterwork, where our master teaches us apprentices, us disciples, us about how to resist the temptations of Devil. What do we do with this then? Well, the application is this trust God's promises of good for you in Christ, through the Holy Spirit. Trust God's promises and even his power of good for you in Christ through the Holy Spirit. Remember all of these temptations dealt with good. Is God good? How do you know God is good? Is there any good outside of God? Ultimately, all of us are looking for what is good. The Puritan John Owen writing in the 17th century in his book Indwelling Sin, really articulates this well. He says that "Our will (the faculty of our soul that makes choices) never chooses to do anything except what has an appearance of good, some present good. We will never do something that we think to be evil or wrong, we will only do what we think to be good. However, we can be very deceived about what we believe to be good, what we believe to be evil." We're always seeking, we're always searching, we're always choosing for good, what we think to be good. This has been true from the beginning. From the very beginning, the test revolved around whether Adam and Eve would obey God and what God had said to be good, or whether they would take matters into their own hands. Whether they would seek a good apart from God, trying to be like God by eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. I want to discern good and evil for myself. I don't want God. That was their attitude. That's where they failed. Ever since the beginning, the insidious, relentless, persistent suggestion of Satan has been this. Go ahead, find what's good for you. Seek good apart from God. If God doesn't meet your needs, go meet them another way. Even if it requires transgressing God's boundaries and God's law, find your own good. Make your own truth. Take a shortcut. If you need something, take it. If you lack confidence about God, test him. If God leads you through sacrifice and suffering, find that shady way around it. We need to learn with our mind, and we need to feel from our desires and affections that God alone is good. This is why the word of God is so important and this is why Jesus never fails to cite the word of God because it lays bare the goodness of God in front of our eyes. It shows us God's character. Where we always see God lavishing upon his people far more abundantly good than they could ask or think. We see God's reliability actually in our call to worship this morning. We had Psalm 34:8 to remind us that we must taste and see that the Lord is good. To test whether God is good is very different thing than to taste and see that he is good. One arises from skepticism. I don't know if I can really trust him. Let me put him to the test. Let me susus this out on my own. The other arises from a sense of childlike wonder. God, I know that you are so good. I want to taste the goodness that you have promised to me. Taste and see that God is good. Don't put him to the test. Now, sometimes this is this is described as a blind leap of faith into the utterly unknown. I'm sure it'll be good. I promise you to be good, but you have to just jump into the unknown and not know where it's going to lead you. Now it's true, we don't know where the Lord will lead us. We don't know the winding path of the course that our lives will take under the leading of the Holy Spirit, just like Jesus here. What God does assure us is that the end point, we may not know the path that we will take, but we know where this will end. God has given us a guarantee, a confirmation of his goodness in Jesus Christ. If you doubt that your Lord is leading you in paths of goodness, remember, the same God did not spare his only Son, but gave him up for us all. If you are suspicious of his power, remember that he raised Christ Jesus from the dead. What test could you design that would be greater than what God proved through that? If you suspect that you can find a better deal elsewhere, remember King Jesus is coming again. When he comes again on the clouds and every eye will see him, he comes to judge the living and the dead. There is no good outside of him. Trust God's promises of good for you in Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is here setting for us a pattern of how to walk by faith rather than by sight. It's to live according to the settled assurance that God's word is true. Satan is going to try a thousand ways to move us from that confidence, to move us away from that assurance. But Christ shows us, look to him alone. Remind yourself, strengthen yourself, bolster yourself in the truth that Christ has died, Christ has risen and Christ will come again. Trust in God's goodness toward you in Christ. To bring this full circle, I want to remind you, Jesus is accomplishing two things here. First of all is he is cleaning up our mess. He is accomplishing something for us that we could never accomplish for ourselves. He is the perfectly obedient son who is winning salvation, not so that we could follow in his footsteps and win the same salvation from him in the way that he has done it, but so that we might receive it from him as a gift by faith. Jesus is the single champion going out to battle on our behalf, and we need do nothing but to be silent and to look to him and be saved. That's the way our salvation comes. Jesus is also setting a pattern for his people. To show us what it looks like to follow the Lord in faith and in obedience. We are called to trust in Christ alone for our salvation. To be counted righteous to the righteousness that he gives us, that he earned as our Lord Jesus did everything to fulfill all righteousness necessary in his life. Then he calls us to follow after him to grow in the holiness, without which no one will see the Lord. Our master takes us as his apprentices, as his disciples, to teach us to obey everything that he has commanded him. Not so that by that, we may be saved. It's the fruit of what he's accomplished for our salvation. Look to Christ and be saved even this morning, oh sinner, look to Jesus Christ, turn from your sin and look to him and be saved. Then follow in his footsteps as you grow to learn to love the Lord, to trust in his goodness and to follow him in the obedience of faith. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, I pray that you would teach us to love Jesus Christ. I pray that you would lead us to walk with him all the days of our lives. Father to receive his righteousness and to follow him as he works in us holiness. Father, we pray that we would do all of this, looking at Christ in faith and receiving his righteousness and following him in the footsteps of faith, all for the glory of Christ. All for our good that we have in Jesus Christ, that we might more and more taste and see that our savior is truly good. In his name we pray. Amen.

The author of 13 acclaimed books, including New York Times nonfiction bestsellers Case Closed, Why America Slept and God's Bankers. Posner was a finalist for the Pulitzer in History. “A merciless pit bull of an investigator” concluded the Chicago Tribune. The New York Times said his latest book (2020), PHARMA, was “a withering and encyclopedic indictment of a drug industry that often seems to prioritize profits over patients…[it] reads like a pharmaceutical version of cops and robbers." Posner was one of the youngest attorneys (23) ever hired by Cravath, Swaine & Moore. A Political Science major, he was a Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, where he was also a national debating champion. At Hastings Law School, he was an Honors Graduate and was the Law Review's Associate Executive Editor. He was a litigation associate at the Wall Street law firm of Cravath, Swaine & Moore before leaving in 1981 to co-found Posner & Ferrara, a New York public interest law firm. Several years of a pro bono legal representation on behalf of surviving twins of Nazi experiments at the Auschwitz death camp led him to coauthor his first book in 1986, MENGELE: The Complete Story, a bestselling and critically acclaimed biography of the infamous Nazi “Angel of Death,” Dr. Josef Mengele. Read a profile on Gerald on how the Mengele book led to him to leave the law. Publishers Weekly explains how he changed from being a Wall Street lawyer to a bestselling nonfiction author. In the past, he was a regular panelist on HistoryCENTER, the History Channel's Sunday current events program. He has been a freelance writer for many news magazines, and a regular contributor to NBC, the History Channel, CNN, FOX News, CBS, and MSNBC. He is represented by BrightSight Group for lectures about investigative journalism and his books. His wife, author, Trisha Posner, works with him on all projects. Garry Wills calls Posner "a superb investigative reporter” and the Los Angeles Times says he is “a classic -style investigative journalist.” “Painstakingly honest journalism,” concluded The New York Times. “Posner, a former Wall Street lawyer, demolishes myths through a meticulous re-examination of the facts," reported the Chicago Tribune. "Meticulous research," Newsday. John Martin, former national correspondent for ABC News says “Posner is one of the most successful investigators I have encountered in thirty years of journalism.” Praise for Posner comes from all sides of the political spectrum. “One of America's finest investigative reporters,” according to MSNBC's Keith Olbermann. “Gerald Posner is maybe the best known and most thorough investigative journalist in this country. There aren't many left,” says FOX News's Tucker Carlson. Anthony Lewis in The New York Times: "With 'Killing the Dream, he has written a superb book: a model of investigation, meticulous in its discovery and presentation of evidence, unbiased in its exploration of every claim. And it is a wonderfully readable book, as gripping as a first-class detective story." Jeffrey Toobin in the Chicago Tribune: "Unlike many of the 2,000 other books that have been written about the Kennedy assassination, Posner's Case Closed is a resolutely sane piece of work. More importantly, 'Case Closed' is utterly convincing in its thesis, which seems, in light of all that has transpired over the past 30 years, almost revolutionary....I started Case Closed as a skeptic - and slightly put off by the presumptuous title. To my mind historical truth is always a slippery thing. The chances of knowing for sure what happened in any event - much less one as murky as the Kennedy assassination - seem remote. But this fascinating and important book won me over. Case closed, indeed."

You might know Bobby Jarzombek as the virtuoso behind the drum kit with Riot. Or Fates Warning. Or Arch/Mattheos. Or Sebastian Bach. Or Halford. Or, hell, maybe you've seen him at a South Texas dance hall playing with The Texas Jamm Band alongside George Strait's Ace in the Hole Band players. Bobby has been around the block. This week Ian, the fourth mic of the Toilet ov Hell podcast, stepped in to interview Bobby about his insights on playing drums across four decades, how styles and technology change, compartmentalizing his playing approach through genres. I gotta tell ya, it's an absolute joy to hear a metal mainstay like Bobby talk about his experiences playing country music when he's not on the road. It's also a sadly unsurprising to hear that some of his fans don't like country music! Ian gets Bobby to talk about his experiences as a young gun with Juggernaut partly as a response to his brother playing with S.A. Slayer. You'll hear how Bobby's PAINSTAKINGLY recorded a MIDI drum pack at Sound City, the nuances of cymbals, and a tale of his dogs catching a squirrel while doing the interview. RIP squirrel. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode half as much as I did. Fates Warning's latest album, Long Day Good Night is out right now.

Click here to buy: https://adbl.co/2YXQinH In December 1936, Britain faced a constitutional crisis that was the gravest threat to the institution of the monarchy since the execution of Charles I. The ruling monarch, Edward VIII, wished to marry the American divorcée Wallis Simpson and crown her as his Queen. His actions scandalised the establishment, who were desperate to avoid an international embarrassment at a time when war seemed imminent. That the King was rumoured to have Nazi sympathies only strengthened their determination that he should be forced off the throne, by any means necessary. An influential coalition formed against him, including the Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin, his private secretary Alec Hardinge, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the editor of the Times. Betrayal and paranoia were everywhere, as MI5 bugged his telephone and his courtiers turned against him. Edward seemed fated to give up Wallis and remain a reluctant ruler, or to abdicate his throne. Yet he had his own supporters, too, including Winston Churchill, the Machiavellian newspaper proprietor Lord Beaverbrook and his brilliant adviser Walter Monckton. They offered him the chance to remain on the throne and keep Wallis. But was the price they asked too high? And what really lay behind the assassination attempt on Edward earlier that year? Using previously unpublished and rare archival material, and new interviews with those who knew Edward and Wallis, The Crown in Crisis is the conclusive exploration of how an unthinkable and unprecedented event tore the country apart, as its monarch prized his personal happiness above all else. This seismic event has been written about before but never with the ticking-clock suspense and pace of the thriller that it undoubtedly was for all of its participants. The Crown in Crisis is the definitive book about the events of 1936. Painstakingly researched, incisively written and entirely fresh in its approach, it will bring the events of that time to thrilling life, and in the process appeal to an entirely new audience.

Ahmed El-Shamsy's Rediscovering the Islamic Classics: How Editors and Print Culture Transformed an Intellectual Tradition (Princeton University Press, 2020) is an astonishing scholarly feat that presents a detailed, sophisticated, and thoroughly enjoyable intellectual and social history of the modern publishing industry on what we today consider canonical books of Islamic thought. “Painstakingly researched” would be a description too mild for the depth and breadth of sources and analysis that El-Shamsy mobilizes in this book. Over the course of its 8 delightfully written chapters, readers meet some known and many less known book collectors, editors, Muslim reformers, early Salafis, and European Orientalists whose thought, outlook, normative agendas, and wide-ranging efforts produced a distinct corpus of classical Islamic texts. The canonization of what counted as “classical” was itself a markedly modern move and gesture, El-Shamsy argues. Populated with fascinating narratives of manuscript hunting, editorial discoveries and frustrations, and collaborations between Arab scholars and European Orientalists, Rediscovering the Islamic Classics combines the literary flair of a sumptuous novel with the textual density of a philological masterpiece. This carefully crafted and argued book represents both a profound tribute to a mesmerizingly layered archive of tradition and its actors, and a tremendous service to the field of Islamic Studies in particular and Religious Studies more broadly. It will also make a great text to teach in courses on intellectual history, manuscript studies, modern Islam, Muslim reform, and Islamic Law.

Ahmed El-Shamsy's Rediscovering the Islamic Classics: How Editors and Print Culture Transformed an Intellectual Tradition (Princeton University Press, 2020) is an astonishing scholarly feat that presents a detailed, sophisticated, and thoroughly enjoyable intellectual and social history of the modern publishing industry on what we today consider canonical books of Islamic thought. “Painstakingly researched” would be a description too mild for the depth and breadth of sources and analysis that El-Shamsy mobilizes in this book. Over the course of its 8 delightfully written chapters, readers meet some known and many less known book collectors, editors, Muslim reformers, early Salafis, and European Orientalists whose thought, outlook, normative agendas, and wide-ranging efforts produced a distinct corpus of classical Islamic texts. The canonization of what counted as “classical” was itself a markedly modern move and gesture, El-Shamsy argues. Populated with fascinating narratives of manuscript hunting, editorial discoveries and frustrations, and collaborations between Arab scholars and European Orientalists, Rediscovering the Islamic Classics combines the literary flair of a sumptuous novel with the textual density of a philological masterpiece. This carefully crafted and argued book represents both a profound tribute to a mesmerizingly layered archive of tradition and its actors, and a tremendous service to the field of Islamic Studies in particular and Religious Studies more broadly. It will also make a great text to teach in courses on intellectual history, manuscript studies, modern Islam, Muslim reform, and Islamic Law.

He's found several photographs from more than a century ago, and now Mark Hersch is painstakingly recreating these images, and giving them new life — one frame at a time. This is the Backstory.

Painstakingly researched by an authority on the history of the Secret Service and based on primary, firsthand accounts from more than 80 former agents, White House aides, and family members, this is the definitive account of what went wrong with John F. Kennedy’s security detail on the day he was assassinated. The work provides a detailed look at how JFK could and should have been protected and debunks numerous fraudulent notions that persist about the day in question, including that JFK ordered agents off the rear of his limousine; demanded the removal of the bubble top that covered the vehicle; and was difficult to protect and somehow, directly or indirectly, made his own tragic death easier for an assassin or assassins. This book also thoroughly investigates the threats on the president’s life before traveling to Texas; the presence of unauthorized Secret Service agents in Dealey Plaza, the site of the assassination; the failure of the Secret Service in monitoring and securing the surrounding buildings, overhangs, and rooftops; and the surprising conspiratorial beliefs of several former agents. An important addition to the canon of works on JFK and his assassination, this study sheds light on the gross negligence and, in some cases, seeming culpability, of those sworn to protect the president.

In this episode, Matt Crawford speaks to author Gareth Russell about his book Ship of Dreams: The Sinking of the Titanic and the End of the Edwardian Era. We all think we know the story of the Titanic but Russell finds a way to evade the immense shadow cast by the Titanic and focus on what matters most, the people aboard. An in-depth tale about the climate of the era, the culture and the hopes and dreams of those aboard. Painstakingly researched and eloquently written, this is simply a must-read. Well done.

Bärbel Hönisch, Associate Professor of Environmental Sciences at Columbia University also known as Queen of Boron, transported us millions of years beyond the ice cores to the realm when Greenland had no ice. She took hold of a magical instrument and fell in love with plankton. Diving off One Tree Island near the Great Barrier reef, she conducted research in the blue water, and at times rose amongst a highway of turtles. Painstakingly, she reconstructs the microfossil environment. This episode was produced and mixed by Shane M Hanlon. Special thanks to Jordana Schmierer for production assistance.

The KC Scouts and WHA Whalers?  It's a 70's hockey free for all! Episode 63 of the Pro Hockey Alumni podcast features a look back at the Kansas City Scouts NHL franchise with author Troy Treasure and my review of the historic New England Whalers upset of the Soviet National team on December 27, 1976. Troy Treasure's book “Icing on the Plains” is the story of Kansas City's attempt to integrate major league hockey into its sports marketplace — only to see it fall through thin ice. Painstakingly researched, “Icing on the Plains” features great hockey stories and some of the most colorful people in the game. In this interview we recall the triumphs and tragedies of this often forgotten franchise that would go on to become the Colorado Rockies and, eventually, the New Jersey Devils. In our two pervious episodes, you've heard some of the Scouts stories from Denis Herron and Robin Burns and in this episode we complete our KC Scouts trilogy with discussions about Scouts and NHL personalities such as Wilfred Paiement, Steve Durbano, Michel Plasse, Simon Nolet, Sid Abel, Dan Kelly, Peter McDuffe and many more. Before talking with Troy, I'll review the New England Whalers improbable WHA win over the touring Soviet National team in 1976 — a game that was easily the top game of the Whalers WHA years in Hartford. Whalers center Mike Rogers helps us recall this momentous game in Hartford hockey history.

Cal Newport of the Study Hacks blog shares if passions are serendipitously discovered or painstakingly constructed.   Episode 750: Are Passions Serendipitously Discovered or Painstakingly Constructed? by Cal Newport on How to do Great Work   Cal Newport is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Georgetown University, who specializes in the theory of distributed algorithms. He previously earned his Ph.D. from MIT in 2009 and graduated from Dartmouth College in 2004. In addition to studying the theoretical foundations of our digital age as a professor, Newport also writes about the impact of these technologies on the world of work. His most recent book, Deep Work, argues that focus is the new I.Q. in the knowledge economy, and that individuals who cultivate their ability to concentrate without distraction will thrive.   The original post is located here:   and 

What do you after you've built up a successful anti-trust law practice? If you're Yuan Ji, you start importing mezcal to your home in Brooklyn! Erstwhile Mezcal bills itself as “Honest mezcal with social mission.” Ji brings her street smarts to the business side of the brand while allowing the Mexican families with generations of experience making mezcal to do what they do best. It's an incredibly story that leads to some very small batches of delicious mezcaWhat we drank:Erstwhile EspadinErstwhile ArroqueñoErstwhile TobaláErstwhile Tepeztate-Tobalá MezcalErstwhile Henequén--Follow us:spiritguidesocietypodcast.comfacebook.com/spiritguidesoctwitter.com/spiritguidesocinstagram.com/spiritguidesochttps://www.youtube.com/c/SpiritGuideSociety--Erstwhile Mezcal is a mezcal importer based in Brooklyn, New York and Oaxaca, Mexico. We specialize in artisanal and ancestral mezcal.More than a mezcal brand, Erstwhile is a platform for the core values and and social missions that our founders believe in: mezcal education, brand transparency, promoting small family producers to an international audience / fan base, empowerment of women in the mezcal / wine & spirits industry.We set ourselves apart from others in several ways.First, the family producers we work with are independent family businesses. They are Erstwhile's partners, not employees. We pay our partner mezcaleros fairly. We do not ask them for exclusivity or discounts. We care about our mezcalero partners' economic empowerment and put our money where our mouth is. We seek out mezcaleros who are interested in exporting out of Mexico, but do not have the means to do so on their own. We help them get certified and licensed for export. We feel good about the fact that we help our mezcalero partners clear these hurdles from the get-go, independent of their work with us in the future.Unlike family-owned brands, we are not encumbered by loyalty to any particular family. When you support Erstwhile, you support not just one but all the family producers we partner with.Second, we are committed to brand transparency. Look at the back label of every Erstwhile bottle: it gives full disclosure of where you can find our partner producer in Oaxaca and buy directly from the source if you so choose. Read our website, product pages, blog posts, newsletters, social media. Talk to us at events and tastings. We are proud and open about who our partner mezcaleros are, and every aspect of how we do business.Third, we are committed to mezcal education, both as teachers and as students. That is why Erstwhile takes a curatorial, rotating approach when deciding which mezcals we want to bring you. We bring you not one but a variety to showcase mezcal's infinite nuances: different agave species, different flavor profiles, different producers, different production methods, different [fill in your suggestion here...].Our vision and commitment to you: keep on discovering kickass distillations by small family producers who want to grow through export; promote these producers and their mezcals; introduce them to you and to mezcal lovers all over the world. We do not sacrifice excellence to maximize profit or convenience. We commit the Erstwhile name if and only if it is an excellent or extraordinary mezcal. No matter how small the volume. No matter how cumbersome the logistics.Erstwhile is a woman-owned, woman-operated business. We support fellow women in mezcal production and all aspects of the mezcal / wine & spirits industry whenever possible.Erstwhile Mezcal was co-founded by two mezcal enthusiasts: Yuan Ji (former antitrust attorney) and Kevin J. Brown (the mastermind behind Geographicus Rare Antique Maps). Yuan and Kevin are no strangers to coups de foudre. Mezcal and Oaxaca go so darn well with their other passions (cocktails, tacos, history, and swashbuckling adventure, to name a few). It is hard not to be smitten.Upon returning from their first trip together to Oaxaca, Yuan and Kevin had a vision that has sharpened in focus with the passage of time:A platform for mezcal education, transparency, sustainability, and fair dealings with small independent family producers. A mezcal project that empowers small producers to grow via export, and that promotes small producers to an international market / fan base. A company that brings some core values of antitrust policy to the mezcal market: clearing barriers to market entry for small producers; providing as many great options as possible to mezcal consumers and enthusiasts all over the world. A mezcal portfolio after their own hearts. With a reputation for mezcal made the old-fashioned way, of only the finest quality or extraordinary provenance. Painstakingly curated after many a tasting trip through the Oaxacan countryside. Sourced from master mezcaleros' personal libraries. Made available for the first time to mezcal lovers in the U.S. and international market beyond.The mezcal of choice for doers. For risk-takers, nonconformists, creative folks, independent thinkers, and swashbucklers. For people who lead lives believing if their dreams do not scare them, the dreams are probably not big enough. When you sip an Erstwhile Mezcal, you experience the complexities and flavors of a slow, small-batch handcraft, honed and passed down from generation to generation. You support the families and partake in the family traditions of Erstwhile's partner mezcal producers. You make into reality a world that Erstwhile Mezcal's founders dreamed about, and then built with their hearts and souls.erstwhilemezcal.com--Music by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

We decided to play a game of good ole fashioned "Would Y'all Rather" for our first Friday episode. Painstakingly hard "this vs. that" questions that no Texan should ever have to encounter out in the wild.But, if you do, our team tackled a few for ya. Hear what we decided when faced with a colony of scorpions vs. a nope noodle (snake) in our bed or drinking sweaty beer from Willie's bandana vs. George's boot, and neither isn't an answer this round, y'all. And for reference sake, this is the photo of Kid Rock we were referring to: https://images.app.goo.gl/5GU5VvkvSfZ2xdBF7

Harhash is an Al-Quds Bard student who is disabled. Storytellers Shadi and Yousef interview Harhash, who is the head of the Disabled Committee at AQB. His goals for the Committee is to improve accessibility for disabled people at Bard. Painstakingly, Harhash advocated for railings and other facilities. He fought to have an elevator placed on the campus so that he could have access to classes. However, the University does not always take the problem seriously. Harhash believes that the barriers are because of a broader disregard for disability rights in Palestine. As a Jerusalemite, Harhash sees that Israeli efforts to accommodate disabled people should be extended to Palestinian people in the West Bank and Gaza. Occupation affects the circumstances of disabled Palestinians. Shadi and Yousef end the podcast by talking about the inspiration and insight they take from Harhash’s story.

Forget ruby-encrusted swords or diamond-tipped chainsaws. The scanning probe microscope is, quite literally, the sharpest object ever made. Hidden under its bulky silver exterior is a thin metal wire, as fine as a human hair. And at one end, its point tapers to the width of a single atom. Scientists wield the wire not as a weapon, but as an intricate paintbrush—using its needlelike tip to position single atoms on a tiny semiconductor canvas.

DEMOCRACY IN CHAINS The Deep History of the Radical Right's Stealth Plan for America By Nancy MacLean 
“An erudite, searing portrait of how the late political economist James McGill Buchanan (1919–2013) and his deep-pocketed conservative allies have reshaped—and undermined—American democracy…. A thoroughly researched and gripping narrative… [MacLean] has delivered another deeply important book that will interest general readers and scholars alike. Her work here is a feat of American intellectual and political history.” —Publishers Weekly, Starred Review “For those who think the Tea Party, Freedom Caucus, and the alt-right are recent constructs, MacLean provides an extensive history lesson that traces the genesis of the right wing back to post-WWII doctrines…. A worthy companion to Jane Mayer’s Dark Money, MacLean’s intense and extensive examination of the right-wing’s rise to power is perhaps the best explanation to date of the roots of the political divide that threatens to irrevocably alter American government.” —Booklist, Starred Review “A chilling portrait of an arrogant, uncompromising, and unforgiving man, stolid in his mission to ‘save capitalism from democracy.’ … An unsettling exposé of the depth and breadth of the libertarian agenda.” —Kirkus Reviews “It’s happening: the subversion of our democratic system from within. How did the political Right do it? Nancy MacLean tells the long-overlooked story of the political economist who developed the playbook for the Koch brothers. James McGill Buchanan merged states rights’ thinking with free market principles and helped to fashion the inherently elitist ideology of today’s Republican Party. Professor MacLean’s meticulous research and shrewd insights make this a must-read for all who believe in government ‘by the people.’”
—Nancy Isenberg, author of White Trash: The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America The Republican Party of today bears very little resemblance to the GOP of the past. What was once a movement to limit federal “overreach” in favor of individual and states’ rights has transformed into a concerted effort to curb democratic rule in favor of capitalist interests at every level of government, whatever the consequences. To many longtime Republicans, the party seems to have lost touch with their concerns, but to a powerful minority, it’s marching ever closer to the ultimate goal of reshaping the Constitution to protect moneyed interests. This gradual takeover of a major political party happened over several decades, and often in plain sight, but the true architects of this plan and their ultimate aim have never been fully exposed—until now. Nancy MacLean’s DEMOCRACY IN CHAINS: The Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America (A Viking Hardcover; On Sale June 13, 2017) blows open the doors to the unknown history of the relentless campaign by the radical rich to eliminate unions, suppress voting, privatize everything from schools to Medicare and Social Security, and change the Constitution. MacLean traces this game plan back to one man, the Nobel Prize-winning political economist James McGill Buchanan, who forged his ideas in an attempt to preserve the white elite’s power in the wake of Brown v. Board of Education. Painstakingly researched over ten years with unprecedented access to Buchanan’s personal files, DEMOCRACY IN CHAINS explores the genesis of this new radical right, from its beginnings in academia to the eventual embrace and financial backing of the billionaire Charles Koch. From his research centers, first at the University of Virginia and later at George Mason University, Buchanan developed a long-term strategy to prevent those of us without great property or power from using the democratic process to enact meaningful change. Jane Mayer’s Dark Money followed the money behind the rise of the radical right; DEMOCRACY IN CHAINS follows the ideas, exposing the intellectual arguments that Koch and company embraced and applied in their quest for an operational strategy to entrench the power of the wealthy. This is a frightening, important book, and required reading for voters on either side of party lines. For Democrats, it’s immensely important to understand the opposition’s motivations and the logic of its tactics and ultimate endgame. For Republicans, it’s an eye-opening look at the appropriation of their political party by a messianic wealthy elite. Using the architects’ own words and predictions, MacLean creates a chilling portrait of what is in store for the country should this movement succeed. As much of America (and the world) reels from a seemingly unexpected swing to populism and far-right rhetoric, DEMOCRACY IN CHAINS offers a peek behind the curtain to reveal just how we got here and what the future will hold. 
 ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Nancy MacLean is the award-winning author of Behind the Mask of Chivalry (a New York Times "noteworthy" book of the year) and Freedom is Not Enough, which was called by the Chicago Tribune "contemporary history at its best." The William Chafe Professor of History and Public Policy at Duke University, she lives in Durham, North Carolina.

This week on StoryWeb: Jimmy Santiago Baca’s memoir and film, A Place to Stand. For Karen Bowen If you want a gritty, raw, punch-in-the-face but ultimately optimistic and life-affirming story, look no further than Jimmy Santiago Baca’s memoir, A Place to Stand, and the documentary film based on that memoir. I had the great fortune of attending a screening of A Place to Stand at the Boulder International Film Festival. My dear friend Karen Bowen, the coordinator of the BoulderReads literacy program, invited me to join her and dozens of other literacy professionals, volunteers, and activists from around Colorado. What a powerful setting to see this amazing film! Though I had heard Baca’s name and though I knew he was a prominent Native American and Chicano poet, I did not know his work firsthand nor did I know his story. Baca’s story is as unbelievable as it is inspiring. Abandoned by his parents at a young age and left by his grandmother to fend for himself in orphanages and detention centers, Baca turned to a life of violence and crime. At age 21, he found himself sentenced to mandatory no-parole for five to ten years, the harshest sentence allowed by law for his particular crime. Because his childhood had been so sketchy, he’d had little schooling, and when he went to prison, he was functionally illiterate with almost no reading ability. Baca’s memoir and the documentary movie (which he narrates through filmed interviews) tell the story of a young man consumed by hate, anger, and rage, a man capable of and guilty of unspeakable and horrific acts of violence against his fellow inmates. The film pulls no punches, and parts are hard to watch, as Baca and other interviewees describe his degradation and brutality. Ultimately, Baca was put into isolation for years, widely considered to be an inhumane way to treat prisoners. But in solitary, Baca begins little by little to find a way out of his degradation: he starts to share words with a fellow prisoner. Painstakingly, Baca teaches himself to read, then eventually to write. He quite literally learns reading and writing from scratch. Spurred on by the heady rush of learning, Baca begins to pour out his soul on paper – and slowly he begins to write poetry. How unlikely this birth of a poet in the walls of the infamous Arizona State Prison! If you want to know how Baca’s quest for literacy, poetry, and freedom turned out, you’ll have to read his memoir, A Place to Stand, or watch the documentary film, produced by his son Gabriel Baca. (The film is available for streaming at Amazon and many other online video services.) I found A Place to Stand to be riveting, compelling, outstanding filmmaking based on the true story of a real American hero. In his journey to become literate, Baca reminds me of Frederick Douglass, who also taught himself to read and write and who also achieved his freedom as a result. Where Douglass used his literacy to fight for the abolitionist movement, Baca has become a tireless fighter for prison literacy programs. His essay “Making the Rounds” is a powerful account of this work. To learn more about Baca and his journey, you might enjoy listening to the NPR piece on Baca: “Jimmy Santiago Baca, From Prison to Poetry.” To get a taste of Baca’s memoir, you can read an excerpt at The Sun magazine – a publication that has championed Baca’s work for many years. Seeing A Place to Stand was a powerful experience indeed, and how much more amazing it was to have Jimmy Santiago Baca and his son Gabriel at the theater that day! They spoke to us at the conclusion of the film, and I had the wonderful opportunity to speak with them in the book-signing line afterward. It’s a day I will not soon forget. Deep thanks to Karen and all the other folks who support literacy programs around the United States – and thanks to Jimmy Santiago Baca for his inspiring example.

Painstakingly cramming in three or four letters to each page, Jack enquired about his family's wellbeing and the political situation at home. The letters are read here by Jack's son Chris Shouldice.

This is an extraordinary book written by one of the finest historians of science. Ringing in at nearly seven hundred oversized, double columned pages Robert Westman‘s The Copernican Question: Prognostication, Skepticism, and the Celestial Order (University of California Press, 2011) exhaustively examines the science of the stars in order to understand the problems that drove Copernicus and later engagements with Copernicanism. Far more than a reception study, Westman uncovers the practices, of prognostication and knowledge production, that delimited the conceptual space available to scholars of the stars and the innovative ways that they attempted to generate and secure astral knowledge. Building on his earlier identification of the Wittenberg interpretation of Copernicus's ideas Westman shows how confession, patronage, friendships and university networks all factored into the many faceted appeal of Copernican ideas, illustrating the difficulty of identifying a single unitary Copernicanism in the three generations after the first circulation of Copernicus's own ideas. Painstakingly researched, often to the point of tracing who had access to which copies of books (and their all important annotations) the book asks us to re-evaluate the scientific revolution in favour of more nuanced understandings of early modern scientific movements.
