Friends of the Rosary,Christ Jesus is the gate to life. As we read today (John 10:1-10), the Messiah said to the Pharisees,"I am the gate for the sheep.All who came before me are thieves and robbers,but the sheep did not listen to them.I am the gate.Whoever enters through me will be saved,and will come in and go out and find pasture.A thief comes only to steal and slaughter and destroy;I came so that they might have life and have it more abundantly."Today, we honor the fourth-century martyr St. Pancras. Like Saint Agnes, Pancras is remembered for winning the martyr's crown while still a teenager.Saint Bernard evoked his sacrifice: “He has totally emptied himself, and he did not allow himself to be concerned with things he knew could never satisfy him. He knew in whose image he had been made, of what greatness he is capable.”Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

Monday of the Fourth Week of Easter Optional Memorial of St. Pancras; born at the end of the Third Century, and brought up by an uncle; they both became Christians; Pancras, age 14, was beheaded in the persecution of Diocletian; he is highly venerated in England Office of Readings and Morning Prayer for 5/12/25 Gospel: John 10:1-10

A Sermon for the First Sunday after Easter 1 St. John 5:4-12 & St. John 20:19-23 by William Klock In the ancient church this was the Sunday when the men and women baptised on Easter would take off their white baptismal robes after a long week of celebrating their baptism.  Now it was time for the church to go out into the world to be the new people Jesus and the Spirit had made them.  At Rome, in those ancient days, the newly baptised would do this at the church of St. Pancras—a church named after a young Roman martyr.  Because of his faithfulness he would become a patron of oaths and vows.  Now it was time to live out their baptismal vows, like that young martyr.  They'd given their allegiance in faith to Jesus.  Now it was time to march out into the world, to proclaim him as the crucified and risen king, and to fight the world, the flesh, and the devil—not matter the cost. Brothers and Sisters, as the Easter story continues, we're reminded that Jesus didn't die and rise from death just to zap us to heaven the moment we believe.  He didn't die and rise again to create an escape hatch out of the world or even out of persecution and martyrdom.  He died and rose again so that we might live for him and carry the good news—like royal heralds of the king—out to the far reaches of God's creation.  This has been the mission of the people of God all along, going all the way back to Abraham.  He and then his family were called and set apart by the Lord to be a light in the darkness.  They were the people who lived with the living God in their midst.  Through them, God revealed himself to the nations. Or, at any rate, that's how the plan had started.  Abraham's family, Israel, largely failed in her mission.  That was part of the plan too.  It showed that it would take more than calling and creating and sending a special people to be light in the darkness.  The human race has a heart problem.  Instead of desiring God, we desire everything else.  Instead of worshipping him, we make idols.  And Israel had that same heart problem.  And so that story of calling and sending and failure leads us to Jesus.  It was meant to from the very beginning.  He came to set his people to rights—at least those who would follow him, who would trust him, who would give their allegiance to him as messiah—as God's king.  And in his death and resurrection Jesus defeated the powers of the old age and inaugurated God's new creation.  But John stresses, this time something was different.  This new people isn't just called and sent.  This time they're also transformed and equipped.  And that's really the theme of this Sunday after Easter.  Every week we're sent out with those words: “Go forth in pace to love and serve the Lord.”  Friends, that dismissal is a call to go out and swim in our baptism, to go our and to proclaim the risen Lord, to go out and do battle with the world, the flesh, and the devil.  I suspect that a lot of the time we respond, “Thanks be to God” without even thinking about any of that.  But those times when we do think about what those words mean, it's easy to feel overwhelmed—especially when the scriptures or the liturgy or the sermon has really spoken to us that day and we have a clear sense of why God has called us and saved us—it's easy to feel overwhelmed. So Brothers and Sisters, as we stand overwhelmed by the task before us, John assures us that if we are in Jesus by faith, there are two vitally important new realities for us.  The first is that we have been made part of his new creation.  We have a share in Jesus' resurrection from death.  Yes, there's more to come.  We haven't been resurrected yet.  That will come some day at the end of the age when the gospel, through the Church, has accomplished its purpose and brought the world to Jesus. But in the meantime, Jesus' resurrection has freed us from our bondage to sin and death and given us new life.  And, second, that if we are in Jesus, he has given us God's own Spirit.  He's made us his temple, the place where he dwells.  The Spirit's not something to be earned when we've become holy enough.  He's not some later experience or second blessing, as if we can be in Jesus, but not have a share in the Spirit.  Jesus' gift of the Spirit is the very thing that fulfils God's promise through the prophets and that defines us as his new covenant people.  And as Jesus forgives and frees us by his death and resurrection, the indwelling Spirit empowers and equips us to live the new life Jesus has given.  The Spirit's life in us is a foretaste and a down payment on the resurrection and the life of the age to come—and most importantly in light of today's theme, the indwelling Spirit is the one who makes the task set before us by Jesus possible.  He's the one who equips us to fulfil those impossible vows we made in our baptism. In our Gospel, again John 20 beginning at verse 19, John tells us: On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Judeans.  Jesus came and stood in the middle of them.  “Peace be with you,” he said.   We shouldn't pass over these words too quickly.  It's the first day of the week.  It's still the same day that Mary went to the tomb to anoint Jesus' body and found it empty.  It's the same day she went running to tell Peter and John.  The same day they went running to the tomb to see for themselves.  The same day when John says none of them—except, it seems, for him—understood what had happed.  John says he “believed” and I think that means he believed Jesus had risen, but that was crazy and he was still working it through so he hadn't said anything to the others yet.  This is that same day.  Now it's evening.  And the disciples have locked themselves into someone's house.  The doors are locked.  I expect the windows tightly shuttered.  There was no cooking fire.  Nothing that might make the house look occupied—nothing to give them away.  Maybe one little lamp, just so they could barely see each other in the darkness.  They were afraid.  Four days before, the Jewish authorities had arrested Jesus.  Three days before he's been crucified as a dangerous revolutionary.  Soon, they figured, the authorities would come for the rest of them.  Best to lay low until things blew over.  Maybe in a few days they could sneak out of the city.  And so they sat there in the darkness, some silently pondering what all this meant, some still weeping for their dead friend, maybe a couple of them arguing in low tones about what had happened to Jesus' body and what they'd do next.  But whatever they were doing, a palpable sense of fear filled that dark room.  John's telling of the story of new creation reverberates with echoes of the story of the first creation: Darkness was over the face of the deep. And then Jesus is suddenly there.  John wrote about the Incarnation back in his prologue saying that in Jesus the light had come into the darkness and the darkness could not overcome it.  That was an echo of Genesis.  The first day of the week God called light into being, driving away the darkness.  And now the Light Incarnate appears in that dark, fear-filled house and I have to think that somehow and in some way it was filled with light—a light that drove away every last vestige of darkness.  And to these frightened men, Jesus announces, “Peace be with you!” Imagine their surprise.  And there must have been some disbelief or some doubts.  Or maybe, like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, they simply didn't recognise him.  Something about his resurrection had brought a transformation.  Same Jesus, same body, but in some way just different enough in appearance that they didn't recognise him.  Of course, it wouldn't have helped that they simply didn't expect to see him again either.  So Jesus holds out his hands for them to see.  One at a time he lifts a foot out so that they can see.  There were the marks left by the nails.  And he lifted his tunic to show them the wound left by the spear that had been plunged into his side, the wound that had gushed forth blood and water, evidence to the soldiers that he was genuinely dead.  And here he stood alive.  They were shocked.  How could it be?  I've said before, the reason resurrection wasn't on anyone's mind was because this wasn't how it was supposed to happen.  This wasn't a story Jews would have made up, because all the Jews who believed in the resurrection of the dead knew how it would work—and it wasn't supposed to work this way.  At the end of the age the Lord would raise all the faithful at once.  There was plenty of disagreement about some of the specifics, but they all knew one thing for sure: It would be everybody all at once, not just one person, even if that one person was the Messiah.  This just wasn't on their radar.  Not at all.  But now it is and they're confused and, it seems, even though John says they were glad, they were still more than a little afraid.  And so Jesus says to them again, “Peace be with you!” And Jesus doesn't waste any time as John tells it.  “Peace be with you,” he says, calming their fears.  Jesus is alive.  And immediately he gets down to the very practical aspects, the real-world implications of his resurrection.  Jesus doesn't waste any time.  He says in verse 21: “As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.”   Think about that.  Here they are, hunkered down for fear of being rounded up and executed.  Here they are, afraid to even show their faces in Jerusalem.  Here they are, giving it a few days before they try to sneak out of town without being noticed.  And Jesus says to them, “I'm sending you.  As the Father sent me to you, I'm now sending you: to Jerusalem, to Judea, to Samaria…to the ends of the earth.”  In other words, “You're not going to go slinking out of the city under cover of darkness.  No, you're going out into Jerusalem with boldness—the same way I went out into Galilee, through Judea, and eventually to Jerusalem at the head of a parade, hailed by the people.  You're going to go with the same boldness out into this city and you are going to declare what God has done.  Everyone is going to know who you are.  You're going to declare to Jerusalem that this Jesus whom they crucified died and has been raised from the dead, that he really is the Messiah, God's King, and that his kingdom, God's new creation has come.” Think again of John, just beginning to wrap his head around the idea that Jesus had been raised from death—but still hunkered down with the others, afraid.  John couldn't even tell his friends what he thought had happened.  The last thing on his mind was telling it to Jerusalem—and Jesus isn't talking about mere “telling”—you know, whispering it to a few people who might be safe to tell.  No, he's talking about proclaiming this news—to everybody.  Brothers and Sisters, think about that for a minute.  Most of us are hesitant to proclaim the good news about Jesus.  We have no reason to fear for our lives like Jesus' disciples did.  The worst thing that happens to us is we offend someone, make them think we're weird.  They faced martyrdom—and all but John were, indeed, martyred for their proclamation.  We have so little to fear, but we're afraid anyway.  We've even stopped speaking in terms of proclamation—the Bible's way of speaking about evangelism.  Instead we talk about “sharing” our faith—watering it down, as if it's just another option on the religious smorgasbord that someone might want to try out for themselves.  We've lost our confidence in the good news and in the God who raised Jesus from the dead who stands behind it.  No, Jesus calls us to declare the good news like royal heralds, sent out into the world to declare the mighty deeds of God, that he has raised Jesus from the dead, and made him Lord of all. But, again, consider John.  Confused, afraid, just beginning to understand.  And then consider the confidence of his words, written decades later in our Epistle: Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah has been fathered by God…because everything that has been fathered by God conquers the world.  This is the victory that conquers the world: our faith.  Who is the one who conquers the world?  Surely the one who believes that Jesus is the son of God!  (1 John 5:1, 4-5) Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Messiah—God's king—has been reborn as part of the people of God.  And that belief changes everything.  That belief transforms the fearful John hesitant to even tell his friends about the dawning realization that Jesus had been raised from death, it turns him into the courageous apostle, exiled for his proclamation of that truth, and writing boldly to the churches to stand firm in that same faith even though great tribulation was about to hit them like a storm.  There is everything to be feared out in the world: rejection, mockery, persecution, even martyrdom, but by faith the people of God overcome and stand firm in our witness.  It's not because faith changes reality.  It's because this faith recognizes the new reality born that first Easter when Jesus rose from the grave, the new reality that he is victor over sin and death, the new reality that new creation has begun in him, and the new reality that he is Lord of that creation.  By faith we are united with him.  By faith we share in his inheritance.  And by faith we share in his calling and ministry—his Church, taking up the mantle of prophet, priest, and king. Like John, we are called to boldly testify about Jesus. It was he who came by means of water and blood, Jesus the Messiah, not by water only but by the water and the blood.  The Spirit is the one who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.  There are three that bear witness—the Spirit, the water, and the blood—and these three agree together.  If we have received the witness of men, God's witness is greater.  This is the witness of God, the testimony he has borne concerning his son.  (1 John 5:6-9)   John points back to Jesus' ministry.  He came by water.  That was the start of it.  He went to John and was baptised in the Jordan and as he walked up out of the river, the heavens opened, the Spirit descended like a dove, and his Father spoke, “This is my Son in whom I am well-pleased.”  That was Jesus' initiation into his messianic ministry.  And that ministry—at least in its earthly phase—ended in blood, at the cross, where he died to conquer death and to provide forgiveness of sins.  Jesus' baptism testifies to his being the Messiah.  Jesus' blood, shed on the cross, testifies to his being the Messiah.  And, too, John writes, so does the Spirit.  And, he says, consider all the things we believe, in which we trust, based on the testimony of mere men.  How much more, Brothers and Sisters, ought we to trust this testimony about Jesus backed up by God himself?  And not so much just receiving and believing ourselves, but in light of the fact that this is the truth, this is the good news that literally changes the world, that is changing the world, oughtn't we to be proclaiming it to that world?  Through Jesus and the Spirit God has given us the light.  The light that will transform the darkness that sin and death have cast on the world.  The light that the darkness cannot and will not ever overcome.  Dear Friends, don't hide it under a basket.  Hold it high.  Proclaim it.  Show it to everyone.  Don't be afraid.  God has spoken: “Let there be light!”  And as John wrote in his Gospel: “The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has no overcome it.”  He goes on in verse 10: All those who believe in the son of God have the witness in themselves.   But that's not where John leaves us in the Gospel.  Jesus doesn't just send his disciples out into the world.  That would be an impossible task.  Jesus also equips them.  Look at verses 22-23 of John 20: With that, he breathed on them.  “Receive the Holy Spirit,” he said.  “If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven.  If you retain anyone's sins, they are retained.”   As the Lord breathed life into Adam in the original creation, Jesus now breathes on his disciples.  “Receive the Holy Spirit,” he says.  Was the Spirit literally imparted by Jesus' breath?  Luke tells this part differently in his Gospel and in Acts—that whole event with the dramatic coming of the Spirit at Pentecost as they gathered at the temple to hear Peter preach and to be baptised.  But notice there, too, that the Spirit comes with a wind—in both Hebrew and Greek, wind, breath, and spirit are all the same word.  Jesus was good at acted-out prophecy and I think that's what he's doing in this case in John's Gospel.  He is—or he soon will be—imparting God's Spirit to this new people of God, to those who believe, and he illustrates just what this gift is by an act that they couldn't help but connect to God's giving life to Adam.  But this is new life.  And this is what will equip them to go out, despite the threat of death, to proclaim with boldness the good news.  Brothers and Sisters, the Spirit does a lot for us, but here Jesus makes sure we know what his primary purpose is.  It's not to give us radical experiences, although that certainly might happen.  It's not to make us holy, although he certainly does that as he turns our hearts and our affections away from self and sin and points them towards God.  But, the primary purpose of the Spirit is to equip us to do the impossible: to do for the world, what Jesus did for Israel.  To go out in the world in his name and to proclaim what God has done through him.  “As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” And then those words that have so often been misunderstood and abused: “If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven.  If you retain anyone's sins, they are retained.”  Remember I said that by faith we have a share in Jesus' inheritance and ministry.  By faith the Father adopts us and makes us his sons and daughters, so we share in what belongs to Jesus.  And that means that as he is King and Prophet and Priest, so are we as his Church, his people.  And Jesus gets here at two of those things.  Here he reminds his friends and he reminds us that when we go out into the world to proclaim his Lordship, to proclaim the good news of his death and resurrection, to proclaim that new creation has come, we do so as both prophets and as priests. Our message is two-fold.  I think the priestly role comes most naturally to us.  This is the part of our proclamation where we announce the forgiveness of sins.  Think of the priests of the Old Testament, offering sacrifices.  That was one of their main duties: to facilitate and to mediate God's forgiveness to the people.  Think of Jesus.  He is both priest and sacrificial lamb.  He offers and presents himself to the Father as a sacrifice for our sins.  And, as priests, we proclaim to the world the forgiveness he offers through that sacrifice.  But that is not our only role.  We also share in Jesus' prophetic office—and that's the part that doesn't come as naturally to us, at least not as things currently are.  But consider what the prophets did.  Consider what Jesus did in his role as a prophet.  He called out the sins of his people, he summoned them to repentance, and he announced the judgement to come on those who remained unrepentant in their sin, unbelief, and faithlessness.  In contrast, much of the Church today is afraid to take on this prophetic role, to name sin, to even use the word.  Some parts of the Church have given up altogether and have embraced sin and called it virtue—leaving folks nothing to repent of and with nothing for which they need forgiveness.  They've gutted the gospel.  But these two things, the priestly and the prophetic go hand in hand.  Our prophetic office, announcing judgement, is without hope if we do not also fulfil our priestly role of announcing forgiveness.  But our priestly office, our message of forgiveness lacks any real meaning if it is not also accompanied by the prophetic announcement that sin is sin and that God will judge it.  Brothers and Sisters, this is the good news: that we are sinners, that our holy God judges sin and that the penalty is death, but also that Jesus has died as a perfect sacrifice for sins, and has risen, victor over death, inaugurating God's new creation and giving a sure and certain hope that what he has begun he will finish.  One day all things will be made new, every bit of sin and evil will be swept from creation, and all will be set to rights.  And by faith in Jesus we have a share in that new world. Brothers and Sisters, do we believe that?  I trust that we do.  We affirm this belief every week as we come to the Lord's Table.  We recall the story.  We confess our sins in repentance.  And we come to the Table in renewed faith to participate again in those events that set us free from sin and death, in the death and resurrection of Jesus.  But maybe we've forgotten the real power behind what we confess here at the Table.  Friends, think this morning on what the cross and the empty tomb mean.  Think on what the blood of Jesus means.  Think on what his gift of the Spirit to you means.  And then take seriously those words of dismissal: “Go forth in peace to love and serve the Lord.”  Consider that in those words Jesus is saying to us, to you and to me, “As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” Let's pray: Almighty Father, you gave your only Son to die for our sins and to rise again for our justification: Grant that we may put away the leaven of malice and wickedness, and always serve you in purity and truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.  Amen.

We'll explore some of the most famous ones. (The Most Famous Ghosts In America) *** In 1996, in a quiet neighborhood in Austin, Texas, something terrible happened to six-year-old Katherine Korzilius. She was a sweet girl who wanted to show she could walk home alone from the mailbox. But when her family returned from shopping, Katherine was missing. What happened to her? Was it an accident, or something worse? (What Happened To Katherine Korzilius?) *** It's October 21, 1638, and the quaint English village of Widecombe-in-the-moor is holding services at St. Pancras church. But this Sunday will be like no other. As Minister George Lyde speaks to his 300 congregants, darkness engulfs the church, followed by thunder so loud it shakes the stone walls. Then, a fiery orb crashes through a window, causing chaos and destruction. Witnesses describe terrifying scenes: a man's head bashed against a pillar, a dog thrown into the air by flames, and bodies burnt to ash while clothes remain untouched. What happened at this small town church? (The Scalding And Burning of 1638) *** Ever heard of criminals so clueless they seem straight out of a cartoon?

A surprise general election has been called in the United Kingdom, and Labour Party leader Keir Starmer is the overwhelming favorite to become the next prime minister. But today's guest is looking to upset that grim future.Andrew Feinstein is standing against Starmer for his Holborn and St. Pancras seat in central London. Feinstein is an expert in the arms trade, a former member of the South African parliament under Nelson Mandela, and a tireless activist, who Watchdog host Lowkey describes as someone who “campaigned for decades on important issues that really cut to the core of power and the way it functions in society.”Under Starmer's leadership, the Labour Party has ruthlessly purged leftist, anti-establishment voices from its ranks, including former leader Jeremy Corbyn. Feinstein described Starmer as holding an “authoritarian, undemocratic approach to politics,” accusing him of weaponizing anti-Semitism to carry out a witch hunt against radical elements within the party.Starmer has given his full-throated endorsement to Israel, even as it carries out a genocidal onslaught against the people of Gaza, and strong-armed the Speaker of the House into shutting down a motion brought to parliament calling for a ceasefire. Meanwhile, he has expelled more Jews from the Labour Party than all other leaders combined, all under the guise of fighting anti-Jewish bigotry.Feinstein is a white Jewish man who grew up in Apartheid South Africa. His mother is a survivor of Hitler's genocidal ambitions, having hid for three years in a Viennese coal cellar to avoid detection by the Nazis. He became active in the anti-Apartheid struggle and became an elected official for the African National Congress during the country's transition to democracy. He eventually resigned after being refused the right to investigate billions of dollars worth of arms deals signed by Mandela's successor, Thabo Mbeki.He warns that Starmer's approach to politics represents a threat to democracy in the United Kingdom, and wants his campaign to be completely different, the antithesis of Starmer.Feinstein stressed that local issues, such as hunger, unemployment, and a lack of housing, would be the key issues he would fight on. Nevertheless, he maintains an international perspective and is hopeful things are about to radically change across the globe. “This period of late neoliberal capitalism, which has bequeathed the world such injustice and such inequality, must be on its last legs. And that's what gets me out of bed every morning,” he said.Support the Show.The MintPress podcast, “The Watchdog,” hosted by British-Iraqi hip hop artist Lowkey, closely examines organizations about which it is in the public interest to know – including intelligence, lobby and special interest groups influencing policies that infringe on free speech and target dissent. The Watchdog goes against the grain by casting a light on stories largely ignored by the mainstream, corporate media.Lowkey is a British-Iraqi hip-hop artist, academic and political campaigner. As a musician, he has collaborated with the Arctic Monkeys, Wretch 32, Immortal Technique and Akala. He is a patron of Stop The War Coalition, Palestine Solidarity Campaign, the Racial Justice Network and The Peace and Justice Project, founded by Jeremy Corbyn. He has spoken and performed on platforms from the Oxford Union to the Royal Albert Hall and Glastonbury. His latest album, Soundtrack To The Struggle 2, featured Noam Chomsky and Frankie Boyle and has been streamed millions of times.

IN THIS EPISODE: America is full of creepy tales about ghosts that give us chills. We'll explore some of the most famous ones. (The Most Famous Ghosts In America) *** In 1996, in a quiet neighborhood in Austin, Texas, something terrible happened to six-year-old Katherine Korzilius. She was a sweet girl who wanted to show she could walk home alone from the mailbox. But when her family returned from shopping, Katherine was missing. What happened to her? Was it an accident, or something worse? (What Happened To Katherine Korzilius?) *** It's October 21, 1638, and the quaint English village of Widecombe-in-the-moor is holding services at St. Pancras church. But this Sunday will be like no other. As Minister George Lyde speaks to his 300 congregants, darkness engulfs the church, followed by thunder so loud it shakes the stone walls. Then, a fiery orb crashes through a window, causing chaos and destruction. Witnesses describe terrifying scenes: a man's head bashed against a pillar, a dog thrown into the air by flames, and bodies burnt to ash while clothes remain untouched. What happened at this small town church? (The Scalding And Burning of 1638) *** Ever heard of criminals so clueless they seem straight out of a cartoon? From bungling burglars to comically misguided crooks, Some cartoon criminals will have you laughing and shaking your head at the same time.(Cartoon Criminals) *** Sin-eaters are described as people hired to assume the sins of a dead person by eating food placed near the corpse. Why did society feel the need for such a service and why would a person choose to accept a role which was viewed with such revulsion?

In s3e39, Platemark host Ann Shafer speaks with Sue Coe, an artist and social activist. The pair were joined in the conversation by Tru Ludwig (Sue is one of Tru's art heroes) at Sue's home in the Catskill Mountains, New York.   Sue creates art that goes right to the heart of an issue, whether it be animal cruelty, capitalism, authoritarianism, women's rights or any other progressive ideal. Images are sometimes difficult, (TRIGGER WARNING) and the conversation touched on some topics that may be distressing for listeners. Please know the discussion ranges from slaughterhouses and mass killings of animals to sexual violence against women, along with a number of other tough topics. There are also plenty of expletives coming from all corners. Consider this fair warning.   Sue, Ann, and Tru talked about veganism, the environment, Käthe Kollwitz, Galerie St. Etienne and famed dealer Hildegard Bachert, placing work at an institution (Sue calls Ann “you poor, sad creature”), and starting a museum just for printmaking.

Ad Verbrugge in gesprek met Pancras Pouw, algemeen directeur van de onafhankelijke mkb- en zzp-belangenvereniging beUnited en jurist Jos Roose over de coronaclaim die ze aan het voorbereiden zijn om verantwoording van de overheid af te dwingen aangaande de schade als gevolg van verplichte sluitingen, beperkte openstellingen en verstoring van de markt.

On this episode of The Hatchards Podcast we were joined by writer/director Wes Anderson - Parisian, Texan, filmmaker and cinephile - who spoke to Ryan & Matt about his latest film, 'Asteroid City', and the accompanying book, 'Do Not Detonate Without Presidential Approval,' edited by Jake Perlin. A collection of essays, articles and stories that inspired the movie, Do Not Detonate features pieces from some of the twentieth century's most revered journalists and critics (Lilian Ross, Pauline Kael), contemporary writers on film and culture (Matt Zoller Seitz, K. Austin Collins), novelists (Georges Simenon), actors (Bob Balaban) and directors (Francois Truffaut) - and concludes with 'Wild to the Wild', a short story by Sam Shepard, whose life and work had a profound influence on the movie.Wes spoke to us about the art of film criticism, his favourite film literature, the joy of rewatching movies and the wide array of influences - including mid-century American theatre, noir and science fiction - that fed into the making of his latest masterpiece, 'Asteroid City.' The film was released in the U.K. on June 23 and the book is available from Hatchards' bookshops in Piccadilly, St. Pancras and Cheltenham, as well as Hatchards.co.uk. With thanks to Wes, Focus Features, and Adam at Pushkin for arranging this interview.

He came again therefore into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler, whose son was sick at Capharnaum.Venit ergo iterum in Cana Galilaeae, ubi fecit aquam vinum. Et erat quidam regulus, cujus filius infirmabatur Capharnaum.  47 He having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, went to him, and prayed him to come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.Hic cum audisset quia Jesus adveniret a Judaea in Galilaeam, abiit ad eum, et rogabat eum ut descenderet, et sanaret filium ejus : incipiebat enim mori.  48 Jesus therefore said to him: Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.Dixit ergo Jesus ad eum : Nisi signa et prodigia videritis, non creditis.  49 The ruler saith to him: Lord, come down before that my son die.Dicit ad eum regulus : Domine, descende priusquam moriatur filius meus.  50 Jesus saith to him: Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.Dicit ei Jesus : Vade, filius tuus vivit. Credidit homo sermoni quem dixit ei Jesus, et ibat.  51 And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying, that his son lived.Jam autem eo descendente, servi occurrerunt ei, et nuntiaverunt dicentes, quia filius ejus viveret.  52 He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: Yesterday, at the seventh hour, the fever left him.Interrogabat ergo horam ab eis in qua melius habuerit. Et dixerunt ei : Quia heri hora septima reliquit eum febris.  53 The father therefore knew, that it was at the same hour that Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and himself believed, and his whole house.Cognovit ergo pater, quia illa hora erat in qua dixit ei Jesus : Filius tuus vivit; et credidit ipse et domus ejus tota. Music: The strife is over, the battle done.

"The musical theme is based on the powerful cadence of the speakers voice at the Kurdistan protest at Pancras station in London England.The composition includes fragments of the every "day to day" hustle and bustle, to the tension of the protest and the lingering memories resonating throughout the space." London protest reimagined by David Leith. 

May 12: Saint Pancras, Martyr Third Century Optional Memorial; Liturgical Color: Red Patron Saint of children, jobs, and health A fatherless teen discovers a treasure worth life itself In the late 500s, Pope Saint Gregory the Great appointed monks to staff a small church in Rome, already almost three hundred years old, which was dedicated to Saint Pancras. In 597 the same Pope Gregory sent Saint Augustine of Canterbury on a missionary journey to England, and Augustine copied his Roman mentor and established a church in honor of Saint Pancras. About sixty years after Augustine, a different pope sent relics of Saint Pancras to England. This further spread devotion to this boy martyr, until a total of six ancient churches were dedicated to Saint Pancras in England alone, including the oldest church still used for Christian worship in that old country. Little is known with certainty about the life of Saint Pancras, but the essential facts are sufficient cause for admiration. Pancras was an orphan who traveled to Rome from the east in the company of his uncle. The pair converted to Christianity and then died for that conversion during the reign of Diocletian. Pancras was perhaps fourteen years old when he traded his earthly life for a better one in heaven. He likely became well known owing to his rare combination of youth and heroic witness. Our martyr was buried near a major Roman road, and a modest basilica was constructed over his tomb. The shrine and its catacombs became a popular pilgrimage destination, partly due to its healing bath, which was famous for its curative powers.  The ravages of time and foreign armies degraded the shrine, but it was rebuilt several times over the centuries. In the seventeenth century, the Basilica of Saint Pancras was entrusted to the Discalced Carmelite Order, whose members still reside there today. Under the Basilica are extensive Roman catacombs, and a reliquary in the church contains the head of Saint Pancras. The rest of the saint's relics were scattered to the four winds by anti-Catholic armies who occupied the church and despoiled many of its treasures. Moments of great danger for the Church are also moments of great grace. In her long history, the Church has passed through, and continues to live, many such dangerous, grace-filled times. Saint Pancras' times were precisely such. If he had stayed in his native land, he would likely have died of natural causes. But he went in search of something, perhaps wealth, fame, or family, in Rome, the big city, just as so many people search for the same in big cities today. But young Pancras found what he probably wasn't looking for—God. And his decision to become a Christian, perhaps through the influence of a friend or priest or aunt, quickly took a very serious turn. He was threatened with death if he did not burn incense to a false god. The boy stood fast. Like other more famous young martyrs, such as Saint Agnes, the idealism of youth provoked both admiration and fury in his persecutors, and he was taken beyond the walls of Rome to be decapitated. Our culture and its pressures are not from God. They are human constructs. But our Church, which is an object of faith, is from God. The friction caused by the collision of culture and church damages individuals, parishes, and governments. Sparks fly. Heat is generated. Objects melt. At times, wars ensue. Today's martyr was an early victim to something far bigger than himself—the culture clash between a dying empire and a dawning religion. If he had gone to Rome just ten years later, Pancras would have lived in peace. Instead, Pancras and many others were executed, because they refused to bend to a leader who might die tomorrow in favor of a God who rose to life from a cold tomb. Saint Pancras, you gave away your young life rather than offer worship to a false god. May your example inspire, and your intercession strengthen, all young people to put love of God above all else.

Whomping willows, Ford Anglias, and so much more are covered in episode 117 of the podcast, which (better late than never!) returns to Hogwarts for the second instalment of the Harry Potter film franchise and an adaptation of the 1998 novel originally released back in November 2002. Joining Chris and Alex for a closer look at Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Chris Columbus, 2002) is Jyotsna Kapur, who is a Professor of Cinema and Media Studies at Southern Illinois University. Jyotsna's research and teaching interests include Marxist-feminist theory of media arts and culture, the politics of labour, class, race, and sexuality in neoliberalism, and global children's media culture, and she has published widely on the intersections between visual culture and childhood. Listen as they discuss Hollywood cinema's overlap with children's rights in Clinton-era America and the question of protection; Harry Potter's representation of London and the urban regeneration of King's Cross St. Pancras as a space of travel, transit, and magic; Dobby, flying cars and developments in digital VFX; branding and world-building in relation to Potter fandom and tourism; mudblood as both a racialised category of identity and something entirely emptied of racial consciousness; and how Harry Potter negotiates the relationship between childhood and fantasy to stimulate a broader commercial and audience desire in the franchise. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo**

Bret Easton Ellis – one time enfant terrible of American literature, a precociously talented writer who published his first novel when he was barely into his twenties, and author of the classic piece of provocation and perversion American Psycho – is now, at the age of 58, looking back on the era in which he came of age.Set in 1981, his new novel The Shards is a bravura work of auto-fiction steeped in the milieu of Ellis' seminal early novels, and features many of the hallmarks that first made him famous, notorious and wildly successful: obscenely privileged youth; indulgence and excess; drugs; sex; pop music; and a touch of the old ultra-violence. It is written largely in the same inimitable style (“numbness as feeling”) as those earlier works – including Less Than Zero, which we see the ‘Bret' of the novel himself trying to perfect.Bret spoke to us about what it was like to revisit this formative period of his youth; the irresistible pull of the music and fashions and sense of freedom he remembers from 1981; blending more traditional “auto-fiction” with the genre trappings of a horror story; his indifference to reviews; and whether he cares about being called “controversial”.California cadres Bret & Ryan also spoke about their respective experiences growing up in the San Fernando Valley while Matt – whose hometown has hitherto not been memorialised in fiction – nodded in silent unrecognition.The Shards was published on January 17 and is available from our three branches in Piccadilly, St. Pancras and Cheltenham, as well as at Hatchards.co.uk.

WELCOME BACK TO SEASON 8 OF THE GREAT WOMEN ARTISTS PODCAST!! ...and what better way to kick it off with than an INTERVIEW with the world renowned artist, TRACEY EMIN! -- TW: This episode contains discussions around abortion. -- Tracey Emin's an oeuvre that encompasses painting textiles, sculpture, neons, film, installations and more, and is some of the most frank, personal, confessional, and visceral to ever exist. She speaks universal two truths on a personal level, drawing on love, desire, loss and grief. Whether it be her 18.2 tonne or nine metre high bronze, The Mother – as recently installed outside the Munch Museum in Oslo – or an intimate watercolour drawing, Emin's works holds so much power. They are alive with energy and have the ability to send us to places that resonate, that make us feel, that are somehow incredibly familiar, but make us question so much. Just as she has said, “True art should resonate. It should make you feel it's not a picture. It's not a thing. It's not an object. It is a true thing that has energy. That's what makes it art.” Born in Croydon, and raised in Margate -- where the artist resides today and where she has just been named a free woman -- Emin studied at Maidstone Art College, followed by the Royal College of Art. It was in the 1990s that she came to the fore with a shop she ran with fellow artist, Sarah Lucas, in 1993. And her hugely significant biographical works, from Everyone I Have Ever Slept With (1963–1995) to My Bed, 1998, works that changed the course of art history and have been just as contemporary and relevant today and in the years to come. In 2007 She represented Britain at the Venice Biennale, and in 2008, she had her first major retrospective at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art. In recent years, she has installed a poignant Nan in St. Pancras station, I Want My Time With You; taken painting to new heights with her incredibly strong and emotive works -- as recently exhibited at her joint exhibition with Edvard Munch at the Royal Academy of Arts -- and her current exhibition at Jupiter Artland in Scotland. Following a severe illness in 2020, she has, in her words, made her most “honest and complete” work to date, as witnessed in her incredible show earlier this year, a journey to death at Carl freeborn gallery in Margate, Tracey Emin, -- ENJOY!!!

Wij zijn erg van de Barbertjes die moeten hangen, en dus is het heel makkelijk om Schipholdirecteur Dick Benschop de schuld te geven van de onmetelijke chaos op de nationale luchthaven. Laten we hem dan meteen aan de paal nagelen voor de vrijwel identieke chaos die je momenteel op zo ongeveer elk vliegveld in de wereld ziet. Want waar je ook komt is er te weinig personeel voor het inchecken, de handbagagecheck, de paspoortcontrole en de bagageafhandeling. Of er is geen cabinepersoneel. Het was natuurlijk oliedom van Benschop om op het hoogst van de crisis naar Washington en Genève te gaan, toen met vakantie naar Portugal en daarna te gaan schuitjevaren met een kleinkind. Hij had met een megafoon in de vertrekhal moeten staan en de rijen reizigers, vaak totaal overstuur, persoonlijk moeten toespreken. Had dat geholpen? Nee, dat niet, maar empathie doet soms wonderen. Nu de mondiale werkelijkheid, aan de hand van een paar willekeurige voorbeelden. Op de Amerikaanse luchthavens, waar de wachtrijen onmetelijk schenen, werden afgelopen weekend 6.000 vluchten geannuleerd, alleen al 500 door de grootste maatschappij, Delta. In Dublin stonden duizenden reizigers op straat, voor het stationsgebouw. Door personeelsgebrek misten duizend passagier hun vlucht. Zelf stond ik op het Londense vliegveld Heathrow in een rij voor de handbagagecontrole waarvan je het einde waarschijnlijk alleen met een verrekijker kon zien. Ha, zeggen mijn milieubewuste vrienden, had dan de Eurostar genomen. O ja? Nou, voor station St. Pancras stond een rij van een halve kilometer – want ook het spoor kampt met problemen. Nu weten we dat Britten dol zijn op rijen, als een soort nationale passie, en er altijd heel beschaafd en zonder voordringen in gaan staan, maar dit leidde toch tot een heuse lawine van klachten. Want natuurlijk waren er vertragingen, waardoor reizigers naar bijvoorbeeld Amsterdam bij het overstappen uren extra kwijt waren. Ook het spoor spoorde niet. Op de Amerikaanse vliegvelden, en Dublin, en Londen en bij de Eurostar zijn ze, net als op Schiphol, vast blij dat we de schuldige hebben gevonden: Dick Benschop. Als we die met pek en veren de Polderbaan afjagen, zijn overal in de wereld de rijen verdwenen en gaan de vliegtuigen en treinen weer gewoon op tijd. En we reisden nog lang en gelukkig.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Listen in to learn about the heroic courage of a 14-year old boy who gave his life for Christ.

GOSPEL POWER l MAY 12, 2022 - THURSDAY 4th Week of Easter Saints Nereus, Achilleus, and Pancras, martyrs Gospel: Jn 13:16-20 Jesus said to his disciples, 16“Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. 17If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them. 18I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen. But it is to fulfill the scripture, ‘The one who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me.' 19I tell you this now, before it occurs, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am he. 20Very truly, I tell you, whoever receives one whom I send receives me; and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.” Betrayal always involves a desecration of trust. For trust is normally given to those with whom we are intimate, and in whose presence, we put down our defenses and allow ourselves to be vulnerable. Betrayal is taking advantage of this vulnerability. And this is one of the most common tragedies in human relationships. Since Jesus, in the Gospel of John, is portrayed as totally free and in control of his destiny and the unfolding of events, we can say, in our limited way of reasoning and expression, that he chose to experience and to begin his passion with this desecration-oftrust by a disciple and friend. With this experience, Jesus enters into solidarity with all those who have been betrayed and who are hurting and bitter. By embracing the tragedy, Jesus turns it into a means of salvation, which is the source of forgiveness and healing of wounded relationships. Lord Jesus, by being in solidarity with us in our experience of betrayal, you have empowered us to grant pardon and mend our broken relationships.Amen

May 12: Saint Pancras, MartyrThird CenturyOptional Memorial; Liturgical Color: RedPatron Saint of children, jobs, and healthA fatherless teen discovers a treasure worth life itselfIn the late 500s, Pope Saint Gregory the Great appointed monks to staff a small church in Rome, already almost three hundred years old, which was dedicated to Saint Pancras. In 597 the same Pope Gregory sent Saint Augustine of Canterbury on a missionary journey to England, and Augustine copied his Roman mentor and established a church in honor of Saint Pancras. About sixty years after Augustine, a different pope sent relics of Saint Pancras to England. This further spread devotion to this boy martyr, until a total of six ancient churches were dedicated to Saint Pancras in England alone, including the oldest church still used for Christian worship in that old country.Little is known with certainty about the life of Saint Pancras, but the essential facts are sufficient cause for admiration. Pancras was an orphan who traveled to Rome from the east in the company of his uncle. The pair converted to Christianity and then died for that conversion during the reign of Diocletian. Pancras was perhaps fourteen years old when he traded his earthly life for a better one in heaven. He likely became well known owing to his rare combination of youth and heroic witness. Our martyr was buried near a major Roman road, and a modest basilica was constructed over his tomb. The shrine and its catacombs became a popular pilgrimage destination, partly due to its healing bath, which was famous for its curative powers. The ravages of time and foreign armies degraded the shrine, but it was rebuilt several times over the centuries. In the seventeenth century, the Basilica of Saint Pancras was entrusted to the Discalced Carmelite Order, whose members still reside there today. Under the Basilica are extensive Roman catacombs, and a reliquary in the church contains the head of Saint Pancras. The rest of the saint's relics were scattered to the four winds by anti-Catholic armies who occupied the church and despoiled many of its treasures.Moments of great danger for the Church are also moments of great grace. In her long history, the Church has passed through, and continues to live, many such dangerous, grace-filled times. Saint Pancras' times were precisely such. If he had stayed in his native land, he would likely have died of natural causes. But he went in search of something, perhaps wealth, fame, or family, in Rome, the big city, just as so many people search for the same in big cities today. But young Pancras found what he probably wasn't looking for—God. And his decision to become a Christian, perhaps through the influence of a friend or priest or aunt, quickly took a very serious turn. He was threatened with death if he did not burn incense to a false god. The boy stood fast. Like other more famous young martyrs, such as Saint Agnes, the idealism of youth provoked both admiration and fury in his persecutors, and he was taken beyond the walls of Rome to be decapitated.Our culture and its pressures are not from God. They are human constructs. But our Church, which is an object of faith, is from God. The friction caused by the collision of culture and church damages individuals, parishes, and governments. Sparks fly. Heat is generated. Objects melt. At times, wars ensue. Today's martyr was an early victim to something far bigger than himself—the culture clash between a dying empire and a dawning religion. If he had gone to Rome just ten years later, Pancras would have lived in peace. Instead, Pancras and many others were executed, because they refused to bend to a leader who might die tomorrow in favor of a God who rose to life from a cold tomb.Saint Pancras, you gave away your young life rather than offer worship to a false god. May your example inspire, and your intercession strengthen, all young people to put love of God above all else.

A Sermon for the First Sunday after Easter 1 St. John 5:4-12 & St. John 20:19-23 by William Klock Last Sunday we read St. John's account of how he, Mary, and Peter discovered the empty tomb that first Easter morning and we saw how John frames the story as an act of re-creation.  His whole Gospel, in fact, is shaped by the account of creation in Genesis, in the first book of the Bible.  John knew the big story—the story of Israel and of Israel's God and of the place the story of his own people had within the bigger story of God and humanity, of Creation and Fall, of life lost to death, and now how Jesus had by death defeated death and set in motion an act of re-creation.  Just as God had begun to bring order to chaos on the first day of week by calling light into existence, he now calls forth his son from the tomb, bursting forth with light and life, to set to rights what human sin and rebellion have corrupted.  But this morning's Gospel also shows us that our place, the place of the people of God, in that story.  In the ancient church this was the Sunday the men and women baptised on Easter would set aside their baptismal robes after a long week of baptismal rites.  Now they were ready to go from the Church out into the world to be the people Jesus had made them.  At Rome, in ancient times, they would do this at the basilica of St. Pancras, a church named after a young martyr who had become the patron of oaths and vows.  It was a fitting place to remind the newly baptised of the commitment they had made.  Now they were to go out into the world to live it. Our Gospel today picks up a few verses after last Sunday's and continues in John 20.  And our Epistle takes us to John's first general epistle.  Both passages drive at the same point, which is that in rising from death, Jesus had not only set new creation in motion, but that he has also created a new people, a new Israel, centred in himself to enact this new creation and carry it to the world.  The big story reminds us that this was always God's plan.  It was the reason he called and made himself known to Abraham, through him creating and commissioning a people to make him know to a world lost in darkness.  And while this Easter people created by Jesus is a new people, it's also in a sense the same people.  Jesus himself was an Israelite, his ministry was to Israel, even in his death he died the very death on a cross that so many of his people would die a generation later as they doubled-down on their rejection of him.  And those who followed him first, those who first became this new people, were all of the old.  It was both a re-creation and a renewal.  The children of Abraham called to make God known—and as they did so, making a people no longer bound or defined by nationality or ethnicity, by circumcision or sabbath or diet—not by law—but by gospel—by faith in the good news about Jesus, crucified, risen, and Lord. But John doesn't leave it there with the calling of this new people.  He doesn't leave it with a mere commissioning—with Jesus imparting this task to take the good news to the whole world.  Because that wouldn't really get us much beyond where the old Israel stood—the old Israel that failed in her mission.  The key here is that as the new Israel, Jesus' people aren't just called and sent, we're also transformed and equipped.  And that's really the theme of this Sunday after Easter.  As we stand overwhelmed by the task in front of us, John assures us that if we are in Jesus by faith, there are two vitally important new realities for us.  The first is that we have been made part of his new creation.  We have a share in Jesus' resurrection from death.  Yes, there's more to come.  We haven't been resurrected yet.  That will come some day at the end of the age when the gospel, through the Church, has accomplished its purpose and brought the world to Jesus. But in the meantime, Jesus' resurrection has freed us from our bondage to sin and death and given us new life.  And, second, that if we are in Jesus, he has given us God's own Spirit.  He's made us his temple, the place where he dwells.  The Spirit's not something to be earned when we've become holy enough.  He's not some later experience or second blessing, as if we can be in Jesus, but not have a share in the Spirit.  Jesus' gift of the Spirit is the very thing that fulfils God's promise through the prophets and that defines us as his new covenant people.  And as Jesus forgives and frees us by his death and resurrection, the indwelling Spirit empowers and equips us to live the new life Jesus has given.  The Spirit's life in us is a foretaste and a down payment on the resurrection and the life of the age to come—and most importantly in light of today's theme, the indwelling Spirit is the one who makes the task set before us by Jesus possible.  He's the one who equips us to fulfil the vows we made in our baptism. In our Gospel, again John 20 beginning at verse 19, John tells us: On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”   We shouldn't pass over these words too quickly.  It's the first day of the week.  It's still the same day that Mary went to the tomb to anoint Jesus' body and found it empty.  It's the same day she went running to tell Peter and John.  The same day they went running to the tomb to see for themselves.  The same day when John says none of them—except, it seems, for him—understood what had happed.  John says he “believed” and I think that means he believed Jesus had risen, but that was crazy and he was still working it through so he hadn't said anything to the others yet.  This is that same day.  Now it's evening.  And the disciples have locked themselves into someone's house.  The doors are locked.  I expect the windows tightly shuttered.  There was no cooking fire.  Nothing that might make the house look occupied—nothing to give them away.  Maybe one little lamp, just so they could barely see each other in the darkness.  They were afraid.  Four days before, the Jewish authorities had arrested Jesus.  Three days before he's been crucified as a dangerous revolutionary.  Soon, they figured, the authorities would come for the rest of them.  Best to lay low until things blew over.  Maybe in a few days they could sneak out of the city.  And so they sat there in the darkness, some silently pondering what all this meant, some still weeping for their dead friend, maybe a couple of them arguing in low tones about what had happened to Jesus' body and what they'd do next.  But whatever they were doing, a palpable sense of fear filled that dark room.  Again, John echoes the beginning of the story: “Darkness was over the face of the deep.” And then Jesus is suddenly there.  John wrote about the Incarnation back in his prologue saying that in Jesus the light had come into the darkness and the darkness could not overcome it.  That was an echo of Genesis.  The first day of the week God called light into being, driving away the darkness.  And now the Light Incarnate appears in that dark, fear-filled house and I have to think that somehow and in some way it was filled with light—a light that drove away every last vestige of darkness.  And to these frightened men, Jesus announces, “Peace be with you!” Imagine their surprise.  And there must have been some disbelief or some doubts.  Or maybe, like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, they simply didn't recognise him.  Something about his resurrection had brought a transformation.  Same Jesus, same body, but in some way just different enough in appearance that they didn't recognise him.  Of course, it wouldn't have helped that they simply didn't expect to see him again either.  So Jesus holds out his hands for them to see.  One at a time he lifts a foot out so that they can see.  There were the marks left by the nails.  And he lifted his tunic to show them the wound left by the spear that had been plunged into his side, the wound that had gushed forth blood and water, evidence to the soldiers that he was genuinely dead.  And here he stood alive.  They were shocked.  How could it be?  I've said before, the reason resurrection wasn't on anyone's mind was because this wasn't how it was supposed to happen.  This wasn't a story Jews would have made up, because all the Jews who believed in the resurrection of the dead knew how it would work—and it wasn't supposed to work this way.  At the end of the age the Lord would raise all the faithful at once.  There was plenty of disagreement about some of the specifics, but they all knew one thing for sure: It would be everybody all at once, not just one person, even if that one person was the Messiah.  This just wasn't on their radar.  Not at all.  But now it is and they're confused and, it seems, even though John says they were glad, they were still more than a little afraid.  And so Jesus says to them again, “Peace be with you!” And Jesus doesn't waste any time as John tells it.  “Peace be with you,” he says, calming their fears.  Jesus is alive.  And immediately he gets down to the very practical aspects, the real-world implications of his resurrection.  Jesus doesn't waste any time.  He says in verse 21: “As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”   Here they are, hunkered down for fear of being rounded up and executed themselves.  Here they are, afraid to even show their faces in Jerusalem.  Here they are, giving it a few days before they try to sneak out of town without being noticed.  And Jesus says to them, “I'm sending you.  As the Father sent me to you, I'm now sending you: to Jerusalem, to Judea, to Samaria…to the ends of the earth.”  In other words, “You're not going to go slinking out of the city under cover of darkness.  No, you're going out in Jerusalem with boldness—the same way I went out into Galilee, through Judea, and eventually to Jerusalem at the head of a parade, hailed by the people.  You're going to go with the same boldness out into this city and you are going to declare what God has done.  Everyone is going to know who you are.  You're going to declare to Jerusalem that this Jesus who they crucified died and has been raised from the dead, that he really is the Messiah, God's King, and that his kingdom, God's new creation has come.” Think again of John, just beginning to wrap his head around the idea that Jesus had been raised from death—but still hunkered down with the others, afraid.  John couldn't even tell his friends what he thought had happened.  The last thing on his mind was telling it to Jerusalem—and Jesus isn't talking about mere “telling”—you know, whispering it to a few people who might be safe to tell.  No, he's talking about proclaiming this news—to everybody.  Brothers and Sisters, think about that for a minute.  Think about how most of us are so afraid or at least hesitant to proclaim the good news about Jesus.  We have no reason to fear for our lives like Jesus' disciples did.  The worst thing that happens to us is we offend someone, make them think we're weird.  They faced martyrdom—and all but John were, indeed, martyred for their proclamation.  We have so little to fear, but we're afraid anyway.  We've even stopped speaking in terms of proclamation—the Bible's way of speaking about evangelism.  Instead we talk about “sharing” our faith—watering it down, as if it's just another option on the religious smorgasbord that someone might want to try out for themselves.  We've lost our confidence in the good news and in the God who raised Jesus from the dead who stands behind it.  No, Jesus calls us to declare the good news like royal heralds, sent out into the world to declare the mighty deeds of God, that he has raised Jesus from the dead, and made him Lord of all. But, again, consider John.  Confused, afraid, just beginning to understand.  And then consider the confidence of his words, written decades later in our Epistle: Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God…. For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.  Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?  (1 St. John 5:1, 4-5) Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ—that he is the Messiah—has been reborn as part of the people of God.  And that belief changes everything.  That belief transforms the fearful John hesitant to even tell his friends about the dawning realization that Jesus had been raised from death, it turns him into the courageous apostle, exiled for his proclamation of that truth, and writing boldly to the churches to stand firm in that same faith even though great tribulation was about to hit them like a storm.  There is everything to be feared out in the world: rejection, mockery, persecution, even martyrdom, but by faith the people of God overcome and stand firm in our witness.  It's not because faith changes reality.  It's because this faith recognizes the new reality born that first Easter when Jesus rose from the grave, the new reality that he is victor over sin and death, the new reality that new creation has begun in him, and the new reality that he is Lord of that creation.  By faith we are united with him.  By faith we share in his inheritance.  And by faith we share in his calling and ministry—his Church, taking up the mantle of prophet, priest, and king. Like John, we are called to boldly testify about Jesus: This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus the Messiah; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.  For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.  If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son.   John points back to Jesus' ministry.  He came by water.  That was the start of it.  He went to John and was baptised in the Jordan and as he walked up out of the river, the heavens opened, the Spirit descended like a dove, and his Father spoke, “This is my Son in whom I am well-pleased.”  That was Jesus' initiation into his messianic ministry.  And that ministry—at least in its earthly phase—ended in blood, at the cross, where he died to conquer death and to provide forgiveness of sins.  Jesus' baptism testifies to his being the Messiah.  Jesus' blood, shed on the cross, testifies to his being the Messiah.  And, too, John writes, so does the Spirit.  And, he says, consider all the things we believe, in which we trust, based on the testimony of mere men.  How much more, Brothers and Sisters, ought we to trust this testimony about Jesus backed up by God himself?  And not so much just receiving and believing ourselves, but in light of the fact that this is the truth, this is the good news that literally changes the world, is changing the world, oughtn't we to be proclaiming it to that world?  Through Jesus and the Spirit God has given us the light.  The light that will transform the darkness that sin and death have cast on the world.  The light that the darkness cannot and will not ever overcome.  Dear Friends, don't hide it under a basket.  Hold it high.  Proclaim it.  Show it to everyone.  Don't be afraid. Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself.  (1 St. John 5:10) But that's not where John leaves us in the Gospel.  Jesus doesn't just send his disciples out into the world.  That would be an impossible task.  I met with another pastor this week to talk, to pray, and to encourage each other and one of the things that came up in our conversation was the all-too-common failure in preaching to tell people what to do without telling them why—the problem of preaching good works, without preaching Jesus as the source and reason and motivation for them.  Preaching good works without Jesus is just setting people up for failure and discouragement.  It's law, not gospel.  And so in our Gospel, Jesus doesn't just send his friends out to do the impossible.  He also equips them.  Look at verses 22-23 of John 20: And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.  If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”   As the Lord breathed life into Adam in the original creation, Jesus now breathes on his disciples.  “Receive the Holy Spirit,” he says.  I don't know that it was literally by his breath that the Spirit was imparted.  Luke tells this part differently in his Gospel and in Acts—that whole event with the dramatic coming of the Spirit at Pentecost as they gathered at the temple to hear Peter preach and to be baptised.  But notice there, too, that the Spirit comes with a wind—in both Hebrew and Greek, wind, breath, and spirit are all the same word.  Jesus was good at acted-out prophecy and I think that's what he's doing in this case in John's Gospel.  He is—or he soon will be—imparting God's Spirit to this new people of God, to those who believe, and he illustrates just what this gift is by an act that they couldn't help but connect to God's giving life to Adam.  But this is new life.  And this is what will equip them to go out, despite the threat of death, to proclaim with boldness the good news.  Brothers and Sisters, the Spirit does a lot for us, but here Jesus makes sure we know what his primary purpose is.  It's not to give us radical experiences, although that certainly might happen.  It's not to make us holy, although he certainly does that as he turns our hearts and our affections away from self and sin and points them towards God.  No, the primary purpose of the Spirit is to equip us to do the impossible: to do for the world, what Jesus did for Israel.  To go out in the world in his name and to proclaim what God has done through him.  “As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” And then those words that have so often been misunderstood and abused: “If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”  Remember I said that by faith we have a share in Jesus' inheritance and ministry.  By faith the Father adopts us and makes us his sons and daughters, so we share in what belongs to Jesus.  And that means that as he is King and Prophet and Priest, so are we as his Church, his people.  And Jesus gets here at two of those things.  Here he reminds his friends and he reminds us that when we go out into the world to proclaim his Lordship, to proclaim the good news of his death and resurrection, to proclaim that new creation has come, we do so as both prophets and as priests. Our message is two-fold.  I think the priestly role comes most naturally to us.  This is the part of our proclamation where we announce the forgiveness of sins.  Think of the priests of the Old Testament, offering sacrifices.  That was one of their primary duties: to facilitate and to mediate God's forgiveness to the people.  Think of Jesus.  He is both priest and sacrificial lamb.  He offers and presents himself to the Father as a sacrifice for our sins.  And, as priests, we proclaim to the world the forgiveness he offers through that sacrifice.  But that is not our only role.  We also share in Jesus' prophetic office—and that's the part that doesn't come as naturally to us, at least not as things currently are.  But consider what the prophets did.  Consider what Jesus did in his role as a prophet.  He called out the sins of his people, he summoned them to repentance, and he announced the judgement to come on those who remained unrepentant in their sin, unbelief, and faithlessness.  In contrast, much of the Church today is afraid to take on this prophetic role, to name sin, to even use the word.  Some parts of the Church have given up altogether and have embraced sin and called it virtue—leaving folks nothing to repent of and with nothing for which they need forgiveness.  They've gutted the gospel.  But these two things, the priestly and the prophetic go hand in hand.  Our prophetic office, announcing judgement, is without hope if we do not also fulfil our priestly role of announcing forgiveness.  But our priestly office, our message of forgiveness lacks any real meaning if it is not also accompanied by the prophetic announcement that sin is sin and that God will judge it.  Brothers and Sisters, this is the good news: that we are sinners, that our holy God judges sin and that the penalty is death, but also that Jesus has died as a perfect sacrifice for sins, and has risen, victor over death, inaugurating God's new creation and giving a sure and certain hope that what he has begun he will finish.  One day all things will be made new, every bit of sin and evil will be swept from creation, and all will be set to rights.  And by faith in Jesus we have a share in that new world. Brothers and Sisters, do we believe that?  I trust that we do.  We affirm this belief every week as we come to the Lord's Table.  We recall the story.  We confess our sins in repentance.  And we come to the Table in renewed faith to participate again in those events that set us free from sin and death, in the death and resurrection of Jesus.  But maybe we've forgotten the real power behind what we confess here at the Table.  Friends, think this morning on what the cross and the empty tomb mean.  Think on what the blood of Jesus means.  Think on what his gift of the Spirit to you means.  And then take seriously those words of dismissal we'll hear later: “Go forth in peace to love and serve the Lord.”  Consider that in those words Jesus is saying to us, to you and to me, “As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” Let's pray: Almighty Father, you gave your only Son to die for our sins and to rise again for our justification: Grant that we may put away the leaven of malice and wickedness, and always serve you in purity and truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.  Amen.

O child of courage, though but a boy you gave your life as the strongest of men, proving thus your love for Christ, a love that steels souls even in the face of death, even in the youthful breast – if but a young child like yourself could die so freely for the faith and show the face of Jesus to the whole world, how much more should we, so graced by the Lord with years of devotion, be ready to give for the name of God? Pray your innocence may renew our hearts and your strength fortify our commitment to give our lives for Christ and His Church.

“ONDERNEMERS RAKEN HELE HEBBEN EN HOUDEN KWIJT” Het MKB heeft het zwaar. Volgens onderzoek van Atradius zijn er 41% meer faillisementen, gaat 1 op de 6 bedrijven failliet. De schuldenberg aan belastingen is immens. Richard Beune praat erover met Pancras Pouw, de oprichter van Be United (www.beunited.nl), een netwerk van MKB-ondernemers waar 35.000 bedrijven bij zijn aangesloten. Met een deel van het MKB gaat het goed, vertelt Pouw, maar er is een flink deel dat aan de rand staat van de afgrond. Hij hoort schrijnende verhalen. Alleen al de belastingschulden zijn voor velen “een berg die niet te nemen valt”. Pouw wijst erop dat 1,5 miljoen ondernemers eenmanszaken zijn of VOF’s die bij een faillissement hun hele hebben en houden kwijt kunnen raken, “tot het bankstel aan toe.” Veel ondernemers krijgen geen of te weinig steun. “Voor hen is er geen enkel perspectief. Zij gaan terug naar de daglonen van de 19e eeuw.” Hij stelt dat het MKB in het Nederlandse poldermodel niet meer wordt vertegenwoordigd. Het vroegere MKB-Nederland is nu onderdeel geworden van VNO-NCW, dat vooral het grootbedrijf vertegenwoordigt. “Het VNO-NCW zegt gewoon: hou je aan de maatregelen.” Maar alle maatregelen die worden genomen, zegt hij, zijn alleen goed voor de grote bedrijven. “Er wordt gezegd we doen het samen. Maar we doen het helemaal niet samen. De rekening gaat naar het MKB.” Deze video is geproduceerd door Café Weltschmerz.

I think we all are from birth, and I have, I suppose, been so in different ways. I went to university, studied English literature, and looked at art literature, as it were, from the outside before I went to art school to start making things myself. Lucy: And so, it was books and literature, words, that drew you before the form and fine arts? Martin: Yes, it was. I come from a very artistic family. My mother was a painter, and I have several brothers who are writers and journalists, and also painters and good at drawing and that sort of thing, and calligraphy. In fact, what I first studied at art school was calligraphy and lettering. But I came to it rather late in my 20s. So I'd struggled with playing the piano at school, and, as I said, most of my exposure to the arts was through books and reading. But as a visual artist, well, I didn't really start till I was in my early 20s. But it has gone on continuously since then. Lucy: Was it somebody that influenced the moving towards sculpture, or did it just feel like a very natural progression? Martin: there was a moment at school I remember, I went into the art teacher's sculpture studio. And as soon as I saw the working life he had, you know, surrounded with blocks of stone, and with dusty books on the bookshelves, and just, sort of, dust everywhere, I came to the conclusion that this was the life for me. I'd never have to put a tie on ever again. But I then went to university, and it took me until after I left university before I really approached it seriously. Lucy: With my own children, we have a studio at home, and there's all sorts of projects all the way around them, but because it's so familiar to them, they kind of go against that. They want to do the opposite of what I'm interested in. But for you, I suppose, the familiarity of having your mum painting, and the materials, and those things at home, just felt much more natural to you? Martin: It certainly seemed like an occupation that could command respect, insofar as my parents were forever talking about art and artists, mainly painters. So where other people

so the network continues to grow the popularity continues to grow I checked out trays chow down again just as last week I'm a terrible cook you know this I'm getting a a nice girl sets a big green egg yeah green egg having him come in the worst on the grill but now I follow directions I can actually what makes food the people will eat not just the menagerie of animals that is charred remains and I you know is less easily but no it's is a lot of fun but Trey shot out is got great information check them out on the spinning networks money.com has a full lineup of his ally would be all the times that I realize there are a lot of people who catch the repeat go to spoony.com and you can see for all of the shows but definitely trays chow down where it finishes and where it re-airs throughout the week awesome the one of things only try with you okay right now just I realize I think one of the things we should do is continue to grow intellectually okay you know that I like to read the daily stoic every day they always have quotes from scholars Jeff Solomon read you a quote but I want you to tell me which scholars said this okay this sounds hard yes it's gonna be really difficult okay I am probably in the sky flying with the fish or maybe in the ocean swimming with the pigeons see my world is different I'll give you a hint okay who loves lasagna oh is this this is God belittling this little why I should've known that now yeah yeah I know that's good he had a real Jesus movement sounds like lasagna I got in real Jesus move in silence like lasagna yeah man I got as deep on lyrics sure that's funny so what do you what you are going on as best we can mass past weekend was the beer I have a stuff like essay on repeat but where were back into into basketball and hip so that a couple times I have said that 12 times the exact I know no doubt and debit actually this last Sunday because of basketball the boys missed they miss their traditional celebration with with mom so Marie and the boys went drove I went drove vast electric go carts which we are introduced to backhaul crewmen knock her out in California I think you may miss that woman I want to go with them in thesis racetrack called K-1 and I have one now here in Dallas and that means great they loved it K-1 the one that so I did one when I was it I was given a lecture at ECG I went to the morrow and ready one and it's it's basically a tract that has light turns that little beat dips up the down it's not just a straight flat what was this one that is deathly not flat but I don't think it has any bridge volley or anything else I can think it's all routine S-curve about it but it is deftly technical and of course the boys and Marie came back and they send in one's great number to their surprise at the max speed limit is 45 and Max said my youngest he said that's scary scary dad but nope I really want to be out jet when you were almost tight turns like that oh yeah yeah for sure so the great Mother's Day no not typical but really not typical she liked do I do things are adventurous so that was that it was deathly fun for them speaking of carts do you remember when our good friend Russ ironic Dr. Veronica San Antonio which were to be seen next week sure he called into the show when we were talking about Lou Gehrig's disease and you know the effect is that dying of that right one of his good friends their son was a go Carter like always the child became really good when on the circuit and now like races for Porsche no way is like a 18 or something cool scratches will tell Mac to stick with it just seemed it seems so hard and I know it's it's a career pathway that I'm completely ignorant to I don't know how they how they get to that point where was someone said when I want you to drive for my team even though I'm pouring millions of dollars in this car in for a crew and equipment etc. that just seems it seems while was not sunny like okay you look it's you wonder how people end up in certain sports like for instance Tim Duncan was when he was a swimmer yeah you know if Michael Phelps didn't jump into the pool what would you be doing in certain countries they certainly communist countries were back in the day when they would find Olympic athletes they would like looked like you you're to be a power lifter based on X, Y, and Z user to do this I don't know yet so that give you a Tim Duncan is doing now no I believe that he has been training as an MMA fighter post-NBA career no way I yeah I'm certain I read that somewhere but yet that's that's what he spends his time doing is its MMA training etc. mean so from awesome swimmer if I remember correctly story about Tim Duncan I don't think that he I think that he really played competitive basketball until was a very late team and then went on to and he and Junior hide in play and then he did start planes like his junior senior high school maybe I do it one time I don't member the whole sword hung up as I was we lived in San Antonio I saw San Antonio and I had the David Robinson and Tim Duncan team and they were just an incredible team to watch so focused individual for sure how you know what I did not tell you crazy story so you knew I was in San Antonio two weeks ago the family okay I taste funny story sup with a family and we use over and lift whenever we go on vacation it just it just takes away the anxiety of having to wonder where you can go and even though you may be familiar with and it was a town just is easier nobody can hop in a you joy your conversation you go out to eat happen to a new girl after something some kind of rideshare something like that well after one of the games we often do one of these ride shares and were going back to our hotel which is down in downtown San Antonio which is going through a great renovation of of Regent application and it didn't do a lot clean up I mean there's cities do that they Evan flow and San Antonio is kind of on the uptake right now so it is starting to really kinda come together but we stayed at this new hotel that just open nothing months ago and were making our way down the road and the traffic jam begins to kind of near Jack is bottlenecking because there's construction and we see seal vacationers tourists like to know what they are what parts on a cousin over in downtown will probably like Riverwalk area area now, probably like two blocks away from Riverwalk itself where where we are on the car but you can see tourists making their way to the Riverwalk area and I believe our hotel backed up to it so about 2 1/2 three blocks away from our hotel's hotels nice really nice well so on one side you see tourist making away on the other side you see where the the economic developer has a quite started but it looks like to get some preparations forward to redoing the road and there's just a group of just random folks I'm okay and one gentleman grabbed my attention because he stood out and is wearing on the tour side are only not on the terrace okay he looked like he knew where he was but not everyone else really knew if he knew where he was whole and he had a tie-dye shirt on and it was his kind dirtying in and tatted me up that happens on our tattered tatted but that tattered and I hit on some camo shorts and lots of keys like EEE can probably open up most of the doors and Senate just like on the changes this is a big ring and a Dave they look very noisy I can tell of it was that was an alert bell that he made for himself or he really had access to lots and lots of places but since we this gigantic ring of keys and he's kind of looking at some of the key master from the court or Ghostbusters it doesn't really matter and at this point he's looking it away and were stopped in traffic which is bottlenecked as a red light and he's, looking closely cars and then kind of checking them out now and I'm still not thinking too much of it but I did I just noticed you like holding keys up to I think this will work to put my name in there now it it it what wasn't quite like that but then suddenly he just decides to make his way in there's just these two trash cans there's a black one as a blue and but that they are identical and in shape and whatnot but it's the big metal was a kind bow out there there meant to be on the sidewalk easy for passage and you throw garbage and it will he walks past the black one with intent and then dips his head down into the blue which was the second with complete intent and he's only in there for half a second because he reaches in and he grab something right away so he it appears to me he knows this is in there and is he brings it up he's holding a handle and he's basically shaking off will looks like trash can juicer trash can do what I want to it's it's it's a really really rare fruit but and in most urban settings you'll find this this trashcan fruit in you and then you can squeeze the juice yes you can always squeeze the trashcan or as later my my my family decide that I think that's just blood because what it will hence was a no go was a hammer it was about 18 inches long and then he picks it up and looks at it turns it from side to side glances that all of the cars and then sets the hammer down and put his hands on his hips and so the key master of San Antonio yes nothing happened was trash Nancy standing there and then all of a sudden he just bypasses and realizes that he remembered where he left that hammer he said I guess he was in the marinating and I'm not really sure what was going on but it was read it was really interesting because then I found myself feeling like a fish in a fishbowl I we hopped out I don't know what we do and why is he looking at our car was he looking at the other cars what to do with those keys once you hammer how do you know is in there what's that juice so anyway I just I found myself wondering what puts someone in that situation but he had he had no conversation with anyone around it is probably 5 to 10 people walking passing by and then is he just kind of zoning out scanning vehicles watching them bottleneck he just decided well it's time on going to go ahead and pulled his hammer out and he didn't go and do anything with it he just stared at cars every set it down and then kept staring at the hammer and then staring at cars and then finally we moved hello you guys in traffic I saw is bottlenecked seriously in any way we we've gone from two lanes down to one but finally the light turned green and slowly we made our way and have I was happy-seemed like a bully expecting Russ to call in again like this will go much so here in San Antonio you know hammering like little back story here because words do filled in that or just maybe he's looking for a second nails I don't know he's looking for something it's given given the door to open given some construction project to do he's ready he's ready to build really quick that it's funny that you brought the goober live thing because on the news this morning they were talking about how certain industries just disrupt everything what we know that with completely disrupted the whole transportation sure catches whatever everything well because of the Over and lift drivers now in certain airports will do this in certain places this whole article came out about how at the Washington airport I think with the Reagan airport Washington broom lift drivers would get together and they would all turn off their apps for two minutes and what that would do is in the algorithm of bring with okay it would show that there is a lack of drivers in that area and increase the fair yeah so they were genius they would all do it together at the same time so that they could increase their fares you know how it says oh fair increased high-volume time it's a really highborn time that you have a lack of drive right and so they all get together it's technically illegal in the Buber and lift driver handbook handshake whatever it is the cheater there been other things that happened in Newbern lifts the would that be considered price-fixing I'm here 100% is considered price-fixing that means what would it be on the action of the other drivers are doing I'm just curious because their action at the one putting in the algorithm for the fair increase it's technically over and lift or any of the others who are doing that they are there calculating it by their scarcity so these drivers are just on their there free to turn their phones on and off the other actually saying that what the will do that but here's the here's the quote every night several times a night to relive drivers at Reagan National Airport simultaneously turn off the rideshare apps for a minute or two to trick the app into thinking that there are no drivers available creating a price search when the fair gets high enough they all agree it's time and they turn it back on so they probably are just sitting there searching to see what the cost is everybody sit there waiting and it's like old hold go to Braveheart and that's nice now that's really interesting but I mean if you think about it I mean that's that's the access that's it's the loop all right that's what everyone does they find loopholes they find it the path of least resistance there thereafter to make money I mean that's some of them that's that's their job that's just but it drives me nuts because I mean you know I've been to let conventions like that like natural Expo West or when thousands of people suddenly walked out of the building with some massive conference and you go to that group or a new light the fair just quadrupled oh yeah just coming that's nuts we've been that even the Lubbock and so I've gone out there to either sport and I met the one driver low but by the way the wind so I I've been out there for for game day now for it to take the ball game or even basketball and when it's not you want to take an Uber you can go from one side of town to the other it's very easy drive people drive friendly at their it's super super easy is never congested you can make one side of the other in about 10 minutes no matter where you are there may be $10 at most but on game day you can easily see it going just from being at the campus which is around the 4th to 19th area and then head over to 50th you may see the fair as much is 35 bucks just to get your going to meet people for for dinner whatever after a game but yeah that's I always wondered that because it's not it's done at the hard to hail the Uber why the fair increases it silly just because you can because that's really what it is why think I think it all comes down to that I think the algorithm sure that is basically there's a load a need or the drivers are being used up the fair will increase I think is to incentivize other drivers that are on break or whatever to down and out to get out and do that and I don't know I've never lived under the rug she had friends who been in between jobs and it's been it's been great for them to be able to supplement income is really some I don't know do do Cooper drivers airlift drivers get like in an alert that taxpayers are increasing they wanted turn your the cab I don't owe very much like John Wick with the assassins when the yeah they tell about the alert's time it's time to go back in business and help in my car so what what is happening in the Brown household at the moment well we got kind of proud of Lucas tonight he is being inducted into the national honor Society who is nice this is interesting right over here in Colleyville which means I don't have to go to farm and hang out here just work here in this lovely Fort Worth area no joke what I meant drag a five minute drive yeah it's nice for you Lloyd is complaining that it's at 5 o'clock in Colleyville and like to meet you there it's so proud little guy doing the title of the Internet and, she's she's been Judy named Shiva name to the list man so the school this public school the school that Carly goes to has some really smart kids and it is very proud of Carla she got always wish of this presidential award right and they gave always other awards and this is it the school goes up to the eighth grade and one of the awards that they gave was the when Duke invites kids to take the SAT tips five tips are some general but it's the real SAG that I get in there put the same pools although the high schoolers they had at the school seventh and eighth graders they had like 12 of a score over the 95th percentile 95th percentile compared to high school senior US why probably US white while yeah that's why I'm so proud of of my daughter for you and straight A's in school that is academically extremely competitive wow well that's that's just a curiosity so I your and your oldest Lucas he's been doing home so now for this last year so that he could do the touring that he needs to do for tennis house that has a working out for him both working out that's why were doing this over here it's actually considered great by public school but does everything online) it's just because of his schedule it's just one of those things you can't miss is what schools he doesn't so great I call it was actually pretty well known throughout Texas for their curriculums that's really interesting they seem really innovative account on top of it it's a little so far it's worked really well in ways they don't like it and that's also siding the usual stuff so I think next year when he goes to high school he's going to try and integrate himself a little bit with some of the extracurricular type stuff but there's something that will and in that makes sense though so he can be he would be involved kind in the club activities of people his own peers and have some more social interaction but it's not like you didn't have any this last year he's got on me I hear you bring it the same names over and over again that is a tennis cohort said he sees on the road Weatherby from the West Coast or down to Florida he just sees them sets kind of his colleagues the moment it's pretty much the colleagues I mean everybody get out to some of the basketball menu guys do is run these different circles and sure you know you just end up becoming friends the parents become friends know the boys liked (different ages notes it's the beauty of life just can't get yourself exposed to get out there little bit speak of exposed your boys are not should say speaking of exposure that's all that is all right yeah well I was always dance up that I had a great time seeing your family at generosity feeds once told him about the man Ronco blending while huge contact that we met out at dead baby bathwater and note big shout out to Hollis Mladic for knowing exactly who to who would include net group so ill for the listeners Dr. Brown here is he doesn't say to himself as one of the most altruistic people without ever saying it and basically we took the company they were starting here we have that I don't have the sick as I have it tattooed on my lower back but debit for the CBD and the research and are trying to heal we always want to find the best avenues to give back to the public and sometimes weekly letter window when we do it sometimes we don't but this last week it was really cool we get to talk about a little bit because it took a lot of pictures and his generosity feeds and Rocco Bundy with mod pizza they go to a lot of different urban areas I think almost every weekend and they recruit people to come in and pack meals in this last Saturday it was Saturday Saturday yeah we we packed 11,000 meals for needy children in 44 minutes 44 minutes in the DFW area what something I did not know is that one in five kids the only food that they get is actually at school in certain in certain urban areas because of the the lunch program that's the only meal that they get so that they may go the whole weekend without food that's what this is for us to stick food in their backpacks so that they can eat there was a really cool thing and actually when I was even also equally impressed with was the quality of the ingredients they were pulling out to make those suits that were on the go that it wasn't just beans and it wasn't just beef it was high quality beef broth Max etc. they they want to feed the kids a nutritious meal when not to say hello a look we give them some rice the complex Caritas like that you have the protein you've got a the rule base for the libido fat that's awesome was I totally agree and pack and that those you are doing doing charity like that once in a while just remind you that there there are people out there that are quiet but they may not be getting the the basic needs of life that it was it was a lot of fun Ron thank you so much for the invitation and of course he's he's been a great template on showing us what we can do to engage in more charity getting back with the companies and we we plan to take full opportunity to do so that was a quick half-hour next time I will already already get into a research topic in the next half-hour we had a

sky fly with the fish or maybe in the ocean swimming with the pigeons Jesse my world is different I give you a hint that I said has something to do with lasagna will my wife Loida just texted me and she said with that I thought it was Garfield legal scholar Garfield right you actually probably on equal footing just in two different ways I got the logical thing to say he did a political basis is a lazy cat what you think about that is that is AAA really really lazy cat that made his own cartoon no being that lazy is pretty successful towards Casca but you know you're not lazy I know you have a research topic that you want to get to I do want to get to that but first I want there's some cool stuff that's happened in the news recently I was forwarded an email that House Bill 3703 in Austin patients will now be able to have access to the states medical marijuana program if they been diagnosed with medical seizures multiple sclerosis terminal cancer incurable Alzheimer's Parkinson's Huntington's autism and Lou Gehrig's disease and we we often talk about Alzheimer's Lou Gehrig's disease and autism we talked about that a lot so this is this bill did pass in Austin yesterday I think is what passed those pretty one thing the people were little upset about is that they did not allow PTSD which is honestly very very common but PTSD know that is interesting do you think that what number one the exclusion of it it just this is a unique to the medical field either legislators are elected to make these decisions don't you think it's kind of strange though that probably there's a lack of expert opinion in helping shape things and applied to someone who would have the knowledge to do that you got elected person who has any idea what their background is in essentially they are the ones determining what the best sciences to make a decision for who can have access to something so I had a patient that is a patent attorney and there's some patent laws that her changing and she got together with a bunch of other patent attorneys and other offices and they got hold of the senator into I think I would get this wrong but basically to have a lunch with him to explain why the bill that's presented is not a good one and it will lead to patent issues Robert has a little date they hide stuff and that it cost like $50,000 to have lunch with oh my educate go to okay yeah but I mean what is the money go to the coast to the campaign or to go through whatever but the whole point is is who gets to the person that makes the vote just as make sense it's that's tough and you know the whole PTSD thing that's what my actual article is on but it's it's pretty thick it's pretty cool to get into that but there's a reason why I really do think that we need other treatments for these diseases that right now in the medical field we don't have good treatment for and people are self-medicating all over the place onto a quick story before you get that research his adjuster mommy and I did not share this with you this last week but you know that I do I blocks for another friend of mine now ophthalmologist Dr. Rogers Eckhart fantastic out the mobs by way of indenting so we had a patient who came in older German served Vietnam service country proudly he's basically been relegated to the VA for his his healthcare to get chronic pain my pain issues this particular patient did and he came in with some bad pain so he couldn't get under control and the person overseeing his care at the VA has determined now that he will not refill the OxyContin or wherever he was on I can't protect which one it was a HUD known size hardcode on hydrocodone that he was currently on he's not getting any more because they felt like it it it kept increasing hey base was getting diminishing returns they just are stopping it for a while will basically what that did is it allowed his blood pressure to increase to Heinz where we could do the procedure so this poor man it is relying on the VA etc. he begins to pour his heart out to me says I've gone to the VA I tell them I am in pain and they're telling me that all I'm trying to do is raise the dose I have no interest in quota quote being high or anything else like that and then he went on to tell me something did just Kelly shattered and shatter me when I hear you talk about the marijuana lawn it's great that they're opening up access but he went on to tell me that 3 1/2 years ago he had gone out of state to Colorado with his family and was able to obtain marijuana legally in Colorado and that his pain threat or is is obtained for the threshold I guess technically in his in his description, went up the threshold went up and the pain went down any had great comfort he was able to sleep for the first time and will able to go to the bathroom without issues and so when I hear that and he returns here and he said he was then worn by the VA when he began to talk to his doctor about it if he were to test positive he may be kicked out of the availability to get his hydrocodone here while he still in Texas it just what what kind of service are we allowing these people to get this poor man now he couldn't get his it will be good to scatter so I mean if you stop and think about that this is the problem when I went to medical school we were told you can you have to know one of the five things you have to make sure that you take care of it's a vital sign pain is now vital sign I what is your pain level if you're if you have somebody was in pain you are obligated to treat that paint and we were told that don't worry you can get people Vicodin all this other stuff because is always a real pain there will be no addiction issues that is not true not true at all we learn that one like right now were still learning it that's also excited to see that Denver at least decriminalize the use of soul Sieben yeah because there are trials going on right now silicide is extremely effective in PTSD and you and I had a long talk with Dennis McKenna right and that psilocybin is the actual molecule bits and mushrooms the people described as mushrooms the hallucinogenic mushroom but that civil Sieben really does some interesting neurologic stuff and somebody was a huge part of that is Joe Rogan Brian I was listening to item number which one it was Joe Rogan was on and that they kept talking about doing suicide and in various doses and how micro-dosing is actually something that a lot of people are doing a lot of very successful CEOs are doing so it was with Jorge my hospital is an MMA fighter name in MMA fighter they were talking about where Jorge did some bro science it took a little too much mushrooms is pretty funny episode but I always get back to this we we create this problem and then what would you do is were just going to say no not to give you anymore because we know like almost everything else that you take caffeine included I can have 67 cups of coffee and I'm perfectly fine because I drink a lot of coffee my receptors down regulate the response to which that's can happen with opioids this can happen with everything and when somebody needs more to achieve the same pain level is not necessary that the third seeking more for the addiction property you literally will start having pain at the same dose I have to keep going up and then we withdraw people get into note they go through withdrawal it's a legitimate addiction go through withdrawal and then nearby Gustavus of compensatory mechanisms that basically just like this gentleman was experienced with high blood pressure now we can't his vision now suffers his quality of life is going down because he's in chronic pain he's having to be wheeled around by his daughter it's in she's in tears as were saying it's just not safe to do your eye right now we wanted someone so badly to do it but high pressure hi ocular pressure and blood pressure can lead to a rupture and then he would just lose vision in his eye altogether so unfortunately we had to just reschedule high blood pressure due to withdrawal symptoms distribute an anxiety component to maintain component to it and when you say that you can't sleep sleep is the most important medicine the one thing if I can get one thing for all my patients to do get a good night sleep because so much stuff goes on that heals your body that makes you better while you can sleep so that's one of the reasons why I'm so adamant that when we launch this health box the D had health box you we will make sure the people can heal their brains get some sleep there to have more energy all of it works together if we can get people feeling better definitely and hereby to touch on that PTSD did it before you get to that hinge is one second one more thing on the veterans here's what I think some people forget whenever the federal government prevents us from doing research on a particular substance it's just that means there is no innovation it's really legally allowed to be had so keep in mind that most of the movement for us to move forward to have evidence-based practice or protocols I should say using medical marijuana helping states like Colorado and California kind of set us on the track way were we can start looking at THC and other substances came from Israel because we prevented it from happening here but they were specifically interested in taking care of people that serve their military which is everyone has to do two years over there we should be taking better care of our veterans here they have sacrificed their time and for the most part several years of earning power to simply serve their country and it just doesn't make sense that when it comes time to take care of them in and I'm in a situation where they are in direct need and we've essentially used them as a country to serve us why we turn them away it just doesn't make sense that we did that's that's the system that they have to exist we were talking there is a friend of mine and Rich Hagedorn out of vogue in Omaha Nebraska one from the date he's part of founding member of soldier Valley spirits words they actually get proceeds to veterans so they got their own there making different whiskeys winning awards doing that kind of stuff and they give a certain percentage all the time to our veterans which is cool and it's only veterans that work so super cool I wish to have them on yeah I know he's really really really funny guy super high-energy two quick things on the opioid thing To do so in the news yesterday that a small study came out oh New York Northeast I can't remember see it's not ethical is Mount Sinai I think him on Mount Sinai where they took a small number of people that were heroin addicts and they actually gave them marijuana okay CBD CBD I hope to see I haven't read the article just on the news I want I need to get that article and they it really helped with OP addiction so we got that question brought up in one of the shows about does does CB do you know you always be careful about making claims but when a study comes out because I'm not making a claim I'm referring to the study the study showed that they were able to get some of these opioid heroin addicted people off of heroin using CBD now I did not see it but it does sound incredibly annoying but that's just have to be no topic for a show to follow up with because I don't know but it sounds incredible and just think four years ago that kind of research wouldn't exist certain that stateside no effect on the news director talk and that most of the research coming out of Israel or Canada now now since Canada's the get into a little bit direction looking at it what was the name of the person that emailed you about have you ever heard of narcotic bowels that was David David H LLC last name on it that's what something you give me permission to do but to David and what he did as he specifically brought them into our attention at David thank you this was an awesome email basically saying that articles date back to 1987 and then several of them the NIH has posted two articles on it and then nine 2007 they were even revised in 2017 and it's a condition called NBS or narcotic bowel syndrome just like I Dr. Brown said coming there's a there's actually a lot of legitimate research that behind it and his his claim here is by physicians and pharmacist are completely unaware of it even being a problem but I mean you are you being a G.I. maybe you did know by this moniker but you kinda seem the symptom occur I have I've had a couple patients and you're almost chasing me almost on the acculturation of the Dragon because this is fascinating you can be taking opioids for let's say back pain the motor vehicle accident you get the chronic back pain drawn opioids and a very weird thing can happen this narcotic bowel syndrome actually when you're on opioids it can actually change the motility of the intestines and we know that which is motility you can allow bacteria to grow which means you can have more gas produced and it actually causes something called hyperalgesia so your visceral sensitivity goes up in a paradoxical way song to say this again you take opioids for back pain but your gut actually ignores the opioids and hurts worse so I've had people on opioids and they look like their pain seekers is like my belly really hurts and you realize we could get you off these opioids and that's what I've done with about four patients the whole point was trying get them off cold and in the medical terms called opioid induced hyperalgesia so it's a characterized by paradoxical response people that are getting opioids suddenly now what's interesting is that doesn't just happen in the gut we have a term for there is a possible tapping other places in your body words like oh now this art will all be lowering the pain threshold in other places where what happens what happens acutely and that in hospital course would be blood have too many opioids one of the first things I complained about it it almost always starts with the nose but it can spread out to the body that's the itching you have had this conversation before many times the first thing that's prescribed to them is Benadryl and unfortunately it's not a histamine mediated itching response at all that will do nothing you need to use unfortunately to offset the opioid drug yet to get a opioid mix agonist antagonist did like it like a new vein or something like that to make the itching stop because the Benadryl simply will just stop histamine makes him tired so that it is fall asleep itchy and you not really doing anything unfortunately it can take someone to another state where since the opioid suppress respiratory drive and not being awake actually will drive down your respiratory rate as well that's a natural response that you get rest so it's just a bad combination Ali around when especially when in today's day and age mostly outside of anesthesia trained people the first thing people reach for is not an all an opioid agonist antagonist to handle it when you and I had a conversation first I thought of I was an intern in San Antonio how about 2 AM called by a nurse we give this patient's pain medicines and I was itching everywhere 0.5 Benadryl what he is normally your intern I learned something early on this is advice to anybody that's doing a career when you find someone who's been doing it a lot longer knew no matter what their title is listen little. I've always so we had to rotate with the military in the military you know if you go in as a doctor you automatically going as a captain so your officer right but you do whatever that master sergeant says yeah so I made my life real easy but when I was at the VA in the ICU I would just I would defer to the nurses that were there for 30 years be like you teach me even do a little longer I've been here a week elevating that eight years but you're exactly right maybe we we didn't want us coming up through the anesthesia training I can remember you would have's fantastic scrub techs have done lots more hearts and I had time and they were there great onset of ALU but you just listen to them because they help you but it makes sense so when I first came in the practice of I was doing a lot of L2 lot ERCP's at medical city Plano :-) RCB is yes it's where it's it's called an endoscopic retrograde calendula pancreas talk big sculptors through the scope that you just go down like an endoscope and you go up into the liver and into the Pancras thank goodness it was fun at that time it was that Dr. my partner Dr. Goldschmidt and now we have Dr. Ackerman who are both experts in it so as it turns out it's a skill yeah but the more you do the better you get but is pretty funny because the ERCP team that was there you know I'm your new and you try to act like you know what you're doing and you like to know get me the jagged whatever and something else but you had a thousand hot water so I was always trust in this nurse had he has been there forever and he would hand me the stuff and he's hilarious is from the Philippines get a real call nature and so what you do is you get into the you get into the bile duct and you cut so you can pull stones out and do stuff like that and Moses said I no longer do ERCP skills we got better experts doing it but I'm doing it and I'm making this cut and I look over at Henny and I'm like that's that's good right knee goes I think you need a little bit more and know it in the just red blood everywhere you go Steph was too much but in the next hour trying to stop the bleeding sores like that run like yeah well you ask the experts are there for a reason people to specialize and thankfully they do give enough time to tackle this will I just want to bring up another interesting news stories uncovered were kind of all over the map here but a story just came out today a woman from Greenville South Carolina is suing Burger King because she claims that she was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome after suffering symptoms since eating improperly cooked food at the restaurant she's asking for $330,000 for medical expenses missed work medication gas mileage as well as public embarrassment excessive weight loss and additional damages while all I mean a lot of different things to think of their I may not obviously probably most fast food I don't want to name Burger King specifically the probably most fast food is not the best kind of food to eat but I think most of us should know that I now what he think well what I think is really interesting to me is that we know that 20% of people that have a gastroenteritis no matter what the cause of right May not a big burger again maybe it was whatever the matter what the cause 20% of them will actually develop a disk motility meeting your intestines will not move very well allow bacteria to grow and then you suffer all the symptoms what is striking is she's been doing this for years was several years before that she said that this happened in she was then labeled as debt as irritable bowel that's lysine clinical the time literally all day long people, no I meant I was perfectly fine I traveled somewhere and I came back we talk about veterans there's a lot of people that when they do a tour someplace else they get sick select 20% of the Dr. Mark Pimentel I still think he's doing the study is doing a study on veterans a comeback and the burden of irritable bowel syndrome people get labeled is actually something fixable and that's how we develop ultra until summer in the story and I'm like I was poor woman just a doctrine to yeah ors I fax and depending on what type of bacteria is an ARM is going to call an audible here I think we had to move your study to that to the next half hour so we have enough time that takes me to another topic one of the places that actually carries her KB ending CBD had a question and she her name is Jacqueline up in Oklahoma and she was asking me what is the connection of why people may suffer insomnia and I'm I know you have talked about a couple different mechanisms mechanisms but also thought about another one I want to run this by you so whenever we have inflammation some a marker histamine right so histamine of courses is something that basically races whenever we have cutting abrasion we have in it an insult we can have history right this minicourse is one of those that works in awake center that keeps us awake so if we have chronic inflammation just like we were talking a while ago when you give someone Benadryl they don't necessarily need it you're blocking histamine they get tired if you have chronic inflammation you have this you have a meta-chemical messenger in your body that circulating that your body is producing being histamine making you stay awake and alert because technically your body thinks it's under distress needs to go and do something about it so until you can basically control and slow down inflammation and get some level of handle on that it would seem yet another natural reason why it would make sense to have a healthy Indo cannabinoids system to slow down the histamine response so the you don't have over information yet and I think it's it's that such is his remember the histamines be released by the mast cell right and that's part of a cascade of inflammatory markers there's all kinds Tina fell for aisle 12 mile 23 all these things were learning more and more about and last week was a little bit before we discussed how when you have leaky gut you can have leaky brain your blood brain barrier action becomes permeable to these inflammatory molecules these inflammatory molecules can then reside in the hippocampus which is your sleep center and you don't sleep well and then it becomes this horrible cycle which many Americans are actually a stress is a good thing acutely acutely rise your body adapts to chronic stress no that's really were talking about we just talked about the gentleman that was that the VA chronic pain chronic inflammation chronic stress that's that's the problem stressors are not bad at all when you work out to grow muscle you if you think hard and then you take of you know you rest and then your brain rearranges but I like the histamine example only because for some people that are new to learning why inflammation may be tied to their insomnia most people have at least either experience or had a close one experience taking something like Benadryl diphenhydramine and they get sleepy it's because you're blocking histamine but it think of the thought about that and I guess with your anesthesia training you certainly are much more knowledgeable about the depths of sleep and the stages of sleep and things like that because you have to make sure that somebody doesn't run away bad bad luck there is that's so funny you're going on this route this morning when I was working out I was listening to I listen to a podcast called health hacker members name but he had his guess today was a MD called Dale Broadus he wrote a book it's all about preventing Alzheimer's so Alzheimer's and dementia is becoming one of the leading causes of burden on the US and death and all the stuff she showed something which is really interesting bit typically in the US we start becoming ill around 40 restart in diagnosed with chronic illnesses in the UK it's around 50 so what he was saying is that we may be living long but are six times longer here which ultimately the longer your sick so if you have chronic diabetes if you have sleep issues if you have all the stuff you decrease BD NF which is a substance that cleans up your brain and what he saying it was it's a very interesting podcast is basically everything you said you need to fix your gut you need to sleep well need to protect your brain all those things that we always talk about because this is the burden it's going to happen if you don't do those things properly and he was talk about doing a like this cog not Skippy the colonoscopy to do a Cognos copy periodically you go in and you check different markers insulin levels hemoglobin A-1 C and things like that in a bunch of others but I thought it was just an interesting term I think your parents called us to be like that we don't think any of going in and having a colonoscopy because now it's normal for everybody at one time it wasn't we should be doing Cognos could be in trying to alter the course what interesting well it's a really cool idea especially if you could tie it back to what the cause was what causation was met with the that's exactly was talking about unfortunately you have pain I give you opioids let's go back to the root why do you have the pain man there is the music hey that was at its first hour of getting project episode 12 in

NSF certified for sports or if you're an athlete and you need your daily polyphenols go to love my tummy.com/spoony and get your daily polyphenols to help with recovery and athletic performance band what is that dead the doctors name from the exit University about about well but well yeah she's got some excellent information on how Pro anthocyanins which of the polyphenols inside about trying to heal actually benefit athletes when taken at thousand milligrams a day so give the doctor it's basically four capsules about trying to predict correct yeah it's so for capsules due to the polyphenols as the antioxidant component I have a new article that were to talk about at some point where it actually looks because there's some confusion about I did talk to a PhD who is doing some research and said oh we no longer think polyphenols because of the pro-oxidant component to it meaning oh does it actually create a lobed of information as it turns out a new article came out the polyphenols are fasting mimetic molecule meaning you get the same effect as fasting which means you to have my toffee G autophagy cell renewal because the six cells go away that's the pro-oxidative effect but the antioxidative ones so once again it comes back mother nature just seems to do better it's really hard to take a concept in a petri dish and reproduced with humans yeah definitely so I'll try and he'll get some love my tummy.com/spoony so Dr. brass P00 and one save everybody's a winner yes so I don't run you were going two to address a PTSD article and I don't want to get cut short here so because we did last half hour ago and that you can stearate will I was little there but first I wanted to this is dangerous this is by no underlings in Chelsea this is a note kind of interesting I want to present a scenario you got me thinking about how you saw that guy in San Antonio with all the keys and he just walked up to the trash cow handout cameraman cameraman and you're trying to do a back story for likewise he otherwise indicates why you will regret it now I doing other things I want to tell you a story and then I want you to tell me the back story okay okay this is an NLP exercise whose Robert Seale Dany Michael Barnhouse stuff yeah signed neurolinguistic programming and what that is certain words or certain sounds are certain memories will create emotions around this time okay I just want to back so I just want to know what's actual happen you sitting there and out of nowhere a woman runs up to another woman and slaps her that's it tell me what happened to me why Tillie what's going on with that scenario well I can't believe you don't remember because the woman that was sitting there had basically commandeered the other woman's vehicle from Walmart and had parked it in the wrong spot and it was totally and the woman came in and did the slapping told her that he I think you forget the you were on a boat in Africa oh that slapping yeah yes that slapping incident yet that was the woman who was supposed to fed the lions but because she didn't the woman he came in and slapped her family was bit by few liens and that she was upset that since the one who just sitting there didn't feed them she basically allowed the lines to go hungry and they went after humans wow that so it's because somebody did not do their job properly and that affected her so she was slapping her out of revenge he has a sad day that everybody was okay but you know it's it was very scary interesting nice boat ride out thinking I would I do remember that so that that is your take if you ask a bunch of people gotten you get all different kinds of sorrows yours interesting with the with the.feeding the lion of the lining to the people that's convinced but yours is a story of basically it's of violence right what really happened is that you are on a boat in Africa a mosquito landed on the cheek and she went over and killed the mosquito because that is a malaria infested area and she saved her life it wasn't a violent act she was actually protecting that woman so there's two things of this number one the neurolinguistic programming your prior history of anything like that filled in the gaps right if you're in that area and you witness that you probably think old the woman will save the woman's life sure because we can't have the mosquitoes passing malaria anyway you told it out I immediately place them into an adversarial role between each other no doubt I was doing a NLP lecture which is with this came up and the guy actually open the lecture with that just I just for listeners I had no idea what he was going to tell me to step down, that you just left field which is all about that leads into something super super cool okay so today the story came out about malaria I and for the first time ever a vaccine is been developed okay so were sitting here were like malaria whatever malaria affects nearly half the world's population and a new vaccine may be able to actually stop us and save millions of lives and malaria is one of the reasons why certain countries can't get out of economic crisis because it kill so many people kill so many kids it's super scary I didn't mean one site and I was thinking about it because the NLP story exactly that with the guy said in the lecture by and then I read this article malaria no like others fits perfect and your data into your hammer man story malaria really is humanity's curse we don't think about it in the US but it kill so many people in fact when you look at the world's dangerous animals like always but homes yes mosquitoes only one yeah mosquito rains me they kill more people because of malaria then every other thing that's out there job and about volunteerism when people go to Africa and they you can take I think it's an antimalarial pill I don't know about it but I know that you basically stock up on it and then you take it and then you go and then one of the most important pieces of equipment is the mosquito nets around where you sleep so that you don't get malaria but before you get really deep in their always wondered of taking care of the few young kiddos who had sickle-cell anemia here stateside and usually not not a good situation and but that being said if sickle cell anemia they think was an adaptation mutation so that humans could survive that's an exposure to malaria epigenetic thing where you're at in the environment your genes turned on so that if if you have sickle cell I wondered is the survival from malaria it does do that offset like if if those same kids were exposed to true malaria with that allow me to have a never and never quite figured out why the adaptation is so beneficial because in most cases not every case but in most cases the lifespan is rather short do you know what is really cool is if you get an international infectious disease doctor start asking questions like that it's really wild especially if they get an epidemiology background as well right so you got an ID that deals with stuff like that and they can explain that's a little bit out of the scope of my medical practice not interesting thought but it's fast and because this up I guess in Afr

Presenter David Bramwell heads to Kings Cross St Pancras for the grand unveiling of a new pair of 2.5 tonne lock gates. This special CRT open-day offered him the chance to visit the St Pancras Water Tower, take a canalise-side historical tour and even meet some 19th century navvies!

On my recent trip to London, I met up with a dear friend of mine who I hadn't seen for at least three years, Sarah. We met in university and have been close ever since. Since she lives in London, and I was passing through on my way to Spain, we decided to meet up at King's Cross station and find a place to have dinner. The weather had turned really cold that day, and I wound my scarf around my neck to keep out the cold while I waited for her outside of the station. There were the usual London crowds of all sizes, shapes, colors, and humors which I love to be part of, so I lost myself in 'people watching'(1) when suddenly I heard a voice say, "Anna!" We threw our arms around each other and giggled like college girls again. It was so good to see her. She suggested that we eat in St. Pancras station. I had actually not been there since the big renovation 9 years ago. It is a massive place that is used by 50 million travelers each year. There is a lower floor that is filled with elegant shops and cafes, and then upstairs, looking like strong, young horses all in a row are the Eurostar trains, ready to gallop into Europe. We ate at a restaurant on the upper floor in the shadow of the Lover's Statue. Well, alright, it's not really called that; its real name is The Meeting Place, and it was created by Paul Day. It is a 20 ton, 30 ft bronze statue of a man and woman in an affectionate embrace, touching foreheads. Significantly, the artist is married to a French lady, and the sculpture reflects the two of them. Just as England has a port to France and the rest of Europe through train travel, so the two figures, each from a different country are connected. Paul Day said, "I wanted to create a statue that showed a meeting of minds as well as a physical connection." And I think, for me, that is the hope of international travel: to meet the minds of others. Sarah and I certainly made up for lost time(2). The poor waitress kept coming to our table to see if we were ready to order, "Just a few more minutes," we would say, and then continue talking. Three hours later we finished our meal, but we were not even half way through our conversation. It had been a perfect encounter: a dear friend who I hadn't seen for a long time, meaningful conversation, and a beautiful, cosmopolitan setting filled with art. 1. 'People watching' is self explanatory, and an activity that many people enjoy in busy areas. a. I had a four hour layover at Los Angeles International, so I bought a coffee and people watched. b. The very best people watchers are babies; they are so curious and fascinated by human activity. 2. 'To make up for lost time,' is a common expression used often when talking about conversing with someone you haven't seen for a long time, or getting work done that you have delayed for a long time. a. She got out the sheet music from storage and played the piano, making up for a lot of lost time. b. My cousin and I have been so busy for the past ten years, but at my aunt's wedding we talked for hours and made up for lost time.

Next year’s General Election will mark a watershed for Camden as the long serving Labour MP for Holborn and St Pancras, Frank Dobson, will be retiring. His party have yet to announce who will take his place as candidate, but the Conservative Party have chosen theirs. Will Blair is already busy campaigning while holding down a full time job. He took time out of his schedule to come into our studio and talked to Ann Carroll about his fondness for Camden, his background, handling social media and the threat from Ukip. She began by asking him why he was standing.

There’s a new Labour Candidate in Town. After more than thirty years as MP for Holborn and St Pancras, Frank Dobson is standing down and the party has chosen Sir Keir Starmer to fight the seat. He’s a Barrister, specialising in Human Rights issues and was Director of Public Prosecutions for five years before leaving the post in 2013. Camden Community Radio caught up with him at Labour’s local office where he spoke about tackling the constituency’s problems, lowering the voting age and how he doesn’t like being called SIR Keir – “It’s Keir” he insists. Our reporter, Ann Carroll, began by asking him what he feels he brings to Camden.

Ten years ago Jill Fraser stood in the Holborn and St Pancras constituency as the Lib Dem candidate. It was said she gave Labour a bit of a scare. She’s back again with another attempt to take the seat held for more than thirty years by Frank Dobson, who’s retiring. She spoke to our reporter Ann Carroll about her political beginnings, her determination to represent the local community even if that puts her at odds with her party, and fish and chips.
