Interview by Kris Peters For more than three decades, the name Chocolate Starfish has been synonymous with Australian rock music, with singer Adam Thompson one of the most engaging and enigmatic frontmen to ever grace the stage in this country. Despite the success of Chocolate Starfish and the constant touring that comes with it, Thompson has also found time to branch into other areas of the artistic world, most notably the Chocolate Starfish Bat Out Of Hell Show, where, obviously, the band performs the classic Meatloaf hits from that album and beyond. While not exactly a new project for Thompson, it is one that is close to his heart, and he has embraced the role as if it were his own - and God help anyone who tries to say it's not… This year Bat Out Of Hell - Return will see Chocolate Starfish traversing the country once more, but this time there's going to be strings attached. Literally. The electrifying show that continues to thrill audiences everywhere will be augmented by the stirring swells of a six-piece string section, escalating the rich production to mesmerizing heights. Featuring the classic album in its entirety, Bat Out of Hell - The Return promises everything audiences have come to know and love about a Starfish show – it's an entertainment experience not to be missed. As a prelude to the main event, the band will be supported by a specially curated trio performing Chocolate Starfish favourites, starring Kate Daley and her dazzling vocals, Peter Mitchell on saxophone and Les Gyori on violin. The star of the show, Adam Thompson, sat down with HEAVY to talk about Bat Out of Hell - The Return and more. "We had a lot of success a couple of years ago with the Bat Out Of Hell show, and we just thought, look, if we're going to do it again, let's take it to another level," he began. "About a year and a half ago I did a George Michael show at the Myer Music Bowl with David Campbell and a few others, and it was with an orchestra and I just loved it. I said to the boys, why don't we up the ante and see if we can use a string section because it's so made for those sorts of shows. I know Meatloaf back in the day did several of them, and that album is just made for strings. "It's an eight-piece string section," he continued, "and the dynamics of the performance will change because previously we only had synth for something like For Crying Out Loud or Heaven Can Wait. For some of those slower songs you'll have that lush tone that the string section brings. So just to feel that groan of the cello on (sings) 'now the chilly Californian wind, is blowing down our bodies again…' oh man, it's just going to be goosebumps, right?" In the full interview, Adam spoke more about the Bat Out of Hell show along with works by Jim Steinman, enhanced by the inclusion of a string section. Adam shared his excitement about the tour, reflecting on the success of previous orchestral performances and the necessary mental and physical preparation for the run of shows, which will travel from Melbourne to Perth. He emphasized the importance of pacing and structure in performances, particularly with the addition of string players, while maintaining his unique style. The conversation also highlighted the growing audience for Chocolate Starfish, especially among families, and the positive ticket sales, with some shows nearly sold out. We discussed fans reactions to Adam's personality shining through during his Meatloaf performance, the importance of sprinkling his own DNA through the show, and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
Now to the art of running; Kiwi Peter Mitchell's marked a milestone birthday by running around the world without leaving Melbourne, and he's created a masterpiece along the way. Using GPS he mapped the outline of a world map; he's then run the perimetre of the image, the outline of the route is then saved to one of those apps that maps your run. In this case, a stunning map of the world; where most mere mortals have daily GPS jogging routes that look like a mad ant or a zig zagging drunk. Peter Mitchell has also created images of a koala, a guitar and a footballer in action, he spoke to Lisa Owen.

There's a common story about the human past that goes something like this. For a few hundred thousand years during the Stone Age we were kind of limping along as a species, in a bit of a cognitive rut, let's say. But then, quite suddenly, around 30 or 40 thousand years ago in Europe, we really started to come into our own. All of a sudden we became masters of art and ornament, of symbolism and abstract thinking. This story of a kind of "cognitive revolution" in the Upper Paleolithic has been a mainstay of popular discourse for decades. I'm guessing you're familiar with it. It's been discussed in influential books by Jared Diamond and Yuval Harari; you can read about it on Wikipedia. What you may not know is that this story, compelling as it may be, is almost certainly wrong. My first guest today is Dr. Eleanor Scerri, an archaeologist at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, where she heads the Pan-African Evolution research group. My second guest is Dr. Manuel Will, an archaeologist and Lecturer at the University of Tübingen in Germany. Together, Eleanor and Manuel are authors of a new paper titled 'The revolution that still isn't: The origins of behavioral complexity in Homo sapiens.' In the paper, they pull together a wealth of evidence showing that there really was no cognitive revolution—no one watershed moment in time and space. Rather, the origins of modern human cognition and culture are to be found not in one part of Europe but across Africa. And they're also to be found much earlier than that classic picture suggests. Here, we talk about the “cognitive revolution" model and why it has endured. We discuss a seminal paper from the year 2000 that first influentially challenged the revolution model. We talk about the latest evidence of complex cognition from the Middle Stone Age in Africa—including the perforation of marine shells to make necklaces; and the use of ochre for engraving, painting, and even sunblock. We discuss how, though the same complex cognitive abilities were likely in place for the last few hundred thousand years, those abilities were often expressed patchily in different parts of the world at different times. And we consider the factors that led to this patchy expression, especially changes in population size. I confess I was always a bit taken with this whole "cognitive revolution" idea. It had a certain mystery and allure. This new picture that's taking its place is certainly a bit messier, but no less fascinating. And, more importantly, it's truer to the complexities of the human saga. Alright friends, on to my conversation with Eleanor Scerri & Manuel Will. Enjoy! A transcript of this episode will be available soon. Notes and links 3:30 – The paper by Dr. Scerri and Dr. Will we discuss in this episode is here. Their paper updates and pays tribute to a classic paper by McBrearty and Brooks, published in 2000. 6:00 – The classic “cognitive revolution” model sometimes discussed under the banner of “behavioral modernity” or the “Great Leap Forward.” It has been recently featured, for instance, in Harari's Sapiens. 11:00 – Dr. Scerri has written extensively on debates about where humans evolved within Africa—see, e.g., this paper. 18:00 – A study of perforated marine shells in North Africa during the Middle Stone Age. A paper by Dr. Will and colleagues about the use of various marine resources during this period. 23:00 – A paper describing the uses of ochre across Africa during the Middle Stone Age. Another paper describing evidence for ochre processing 100,000 years ago at Blombos Cave in South Africa. At the same site, engraved pieces of ochre have been found. 27:00 – A study examining the evidence that ochre was used as an adhesive. 30:00 – For a recent review of the concept of “cumulative culture,” see here. We discussed the concept of “cumulative culture” in our earlier episode with Dr. Cristine Legare. 37:00 – For an overview of the career of the human brain and the timing of various changes, see our earlier episode with Dr. Jeremy DeSilva. 38:00 – An influential study on the role of demography in the emergence of complex human behavior. 41:00 – On the idea that distinctive human intelligence is due in large part to culture and our abilities to acquire cultural knowledge, see Henrich's The Secret of Our Success. See also our earlier episode with Dr. Michael Muthukrishna. 45:00 – For discussion of the Neanderthals and why they may have died out, see our earlier episode with Dr. Rebecca Wragg Sykes. Recommendations Dr. Scerri recommends research on the oldest Homo sapiens fossils, found in Morocco and described here, and new research on the evidence for the widespread burning of landscapes in Malawi, described here. Dr. Will recommends the forthcoming update of Peter Mitchell's book, The Archaeology of Southern Africa. See Twitter for more updates from Dr. Scerri and Dr. Will.

The actor.We could have titled this episode so many things but it seems fitting to call Peter, or Mitch, the actor given that his accomplishment, in not even appearing in his school play, to having a regular part in Hollyoaks, sums up the character of the man.Like many Irish lads with footballing talent Mitch came to England as a young boy to follow his dream, securing a professional contract with Leeds United in the process. But in one moment, with a teammate driving erratically, his life changed forever. A car crash resulted in a broken back and the end of his football career. The road to recovery was far from smooth but what he has achieved has been remarkable. From representing Ireland in a Wheelchair Basketball European Championships to appearing in comedy series, Hollyoaks and Coronation Street, the good humour and determination of Mitch stands him out but, most of all, he is a husband and daddy. An extraordinary young man.We are so grateful to University Campus of Football Business who we are partnering with for this and future episodes.

'I knew it was a book I needed to read' - VIVIENNE WESTWOOD'His book explains complex scientific theory in a graspable way' - LILY ASHLEY'This book is an important contribution, and I hope it will open many minds. What is particularly important in it are the discussions of David Bohm, of bioplasma, biophotons, and bioelectronics.' - PROFESSOR ZBIGNIEW WOLKOWSKI, Sorbonne University, Paris"Answers so many questions, scientific and esoteric, about the true nature of our reality... A seminal work... Will revolutionise how we frame reality and the thinking of everyone on this planet. Kudos to Professor Temple for striking the first match to light the fire." - NEW DAWNThe story of the science of plasma and its revolutionary implications for the way we understand the universe and our place in it.Histories of science in the 20th century have focused on relativity and quantum mechanics. But, quietly in the background, there has been a third area of exploration which has equally important implications for our understanding of the universe. It is unknown to the general public despite the fact that many Nobel prize winners, senior academics and major research centres around the world have been devoted to it - it is the study of plasmaPlasma is the fourth state of matter and the other three - gas, liquid and solids - emerge out of plasma. This book will reveal how over 99% of the universe is made of plasma and how there are two gigantic clouds of plasma, called the Kordylewski Clouds, hovering between the Earth and the Moon, only recently discovered by astronomers in Hungary. Other revelations not previously known outside narrow academic disciplines include the evidence that in certain circumstances plasma exhibits features that suggest they may be in some sense alive: clouds of plasma have evolved double helixes, banks of cells and crystals, filaments and junctions which could control the flow of electric currents, thus generating an intelligence similar to machine intelligence. We may, in fact, have been looking for signs of extra-terrestrial life in the wrong place.Bestselling author Robert Temple has been following the study of plasma for decades and was personally acquainted with several of the senior scientists - including Nobel laureates - at its forefront, including Paul Dirac, David Bohm, Peter Mitchell and Chandra Wickramasinghe (who has co-written an academic paper with Temple).PROFESSOR ROBERT TEMPLE is the author of a dozen challenging and provocative books, commencing with the international best-seller, The Sirius Mystery. His books have been translated into a total of 44 foreign languages. He is Visiting Professor of the History and Philosophy of Science at Tsinghua University in Beijing, and previously held a similar position at an American university.For many years he was a science writer for the Sunday Times, the Guardian, and a science reporter for Time-Life, as well as a frequent reviewer for Nature and profile writer for The New Scientist.He is a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, and has been a member of the Egypt Exploration Society since the 1970s, as well as a member of numerous other academic societies.He has produced, written and presented a documentary for Channel Four and National Geographic Channels on his archaeological discoveries in Greece and Italy, and he was at one time an arts reviewer on BBC Radio 4's 'Kaleidoscope'.With his wife, Olivia, he is co-author and translator of the first complete English version of Aesop's Fables, which attracted a great deal of international press attention at the time of its release, as the earlier translations had suppressed some of the fables because of Victorian prudery.Temple was a colleague of the late Dr. Joseph Needham of Cambridge, in association with whom he wrote The Genius of China, which has been approved as an official reference book (in Chinese) for the Chinese secondary school system, and which won five national awards in the USA. He has done archaeometric dating work and intensive exploration of closed sites in Egypt with the permission of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities. His research into historical accounts of the Sphinx is the first comprehensive survey ever undertaken.
What's up to my perspicacious clouds of plasma and scintillating strands of DNA! Welcome to the BNP and thank you for joining! Strap in and spark up friends: this episode is a banger for the ages. In addition to a most zany audio tidbit, I also share an original poem about poppies, and a soliloquy inspired by a recent meditation, regarding the nature of the human psyche, the delicate elegance of our emotions, how we grow as living beings, and what we can deduce from studying plant life in Nature. Then it's on to the main course. This episode I am thrilled to feature renowned scientific historian and professor Robert Temple, author of the bestselling new book, A New Science of Heaven, which explores how 99% of the universe is composed of plasma, and the unique life-like attributes of plasma that suggest it may have a consciousness which humans are just beginning to understand. Temple has been following the study of plasma for decades and was personally acquainted with several of the senior scientists – including Nobel laureates – at its forefront, including Paul Dirac, David Bohm, Peter Mitchell and Chandra Wickramasinghe. Temple spent many years as a science writer for the Sunday Times and the Guardian, and as a science reporter for Time-Life, Nature and The New Scientist.

Writer-director-showrunner Peter Mitchell snuck me into a couple of episodes of one of his hit shows -- and yet he still talks to me! On this podcast, we have a great conversation about Murdoch Mysteries, back for a 16th season starting September 12 on CBC.We also talk about the other hour-long Canadian TV drama he executive produces for Shaftesbury, Hudson & Rex. Mitchell supervises 24 episodes of Murdoch in Toronto, flies to St. John's, and cracks the whip on another 20 episodes of Rex. Some of his performers literally work like dogs!!So does Mitchell, who took over Murdoch as that series found new life on CBC after five years on Citytv. He opened up the storylines on that whodunnit, taking full advantage of all the historical possibilities (electric cars? Stan Laurel and Charlie Chaplin? William Shatner as Mark Twain?) and stretching his ensemble well past 200 episodes and beyond.We talk also about other highpoints in his career, which dates back to writing credits on The Campbells as well as Street Legal, Traders, Cold Squad, The Listener and Frankie Drake. He even wrote lines for Mister T on the short-lived Canadian series T and T. I pity the fool who was the showrunner on that series!

This week on Beer Sessions Radio, Jimmy welcomes the legends of the cider world — James Asbel from Ciders of Spain, Peter Mitchell (not British) of Headwater Cider Company and Ronald Sansone from Spoke + Spy Ciderworks, who just so happens to also be the president of the Cider Institute of North America. The gang will discuss Spanish cider and its making methods, before traveling through space and time to investigate the historical and geographical developments of ciders.The episode kicks off with a vivid introduction into Peter's 2000 trees orchard and his motto of “grow what you press, press what you grow,” James' discovery of Spanish ciders, along with Ron's love for dry still cider. The group also talks about cider making in different regions from Spain, to the Pacific Northwest, to Franklin County and the overall New England area. Last but not least, Ron leads us down the history of cider in the United States — how it started out as “the bad boy” in prohibition and became the outcast when people were rewriting the law of alcohol. James also digs deeper into Spanish cider making, the ubiquity of ciders in Spain and how he chooses his products, before Jimmy declares his running for office with the slogan, “chickens in every pot, ciders on every corner.” Catch us right now and vote for Jimmy 2024!

Apples started their world tour from Kazakhstan but... It is inconceivable but true that in the home land, the epicenter, the frick'n ground zero of all apples globally there is no history of cidermaking in Kazakhstan. Welcome 2022 and the pioneering team of Aizhan, who is Kazak, and her French husband Alex Thomas. Together they are changing the course of history for the worlds' 9th largest country that has the one boast that no other region of the world can claim: Kazakhstan is where apples originated from and then traveled around the world via the Silk Road. Aizhan and Alex Thomas sipping Apple City Cider with a a breath taking view in the background Apple City Cider Based in the city of Almaty or what was once known as Alma-Ata meaning Grandfather Apple, there is now Apple City Cider's new production facility and tasting room. The Thomas ferment Malus Sieversii (wild apples) which there are 400 known varieties. In the rest of the world, cidermakers use Malus Domestica which originally came from Malus Sieversii. It is much like domestic dogs are related to wolves but the two are very different and the reason why Kazakhstan's apple scene is so unique. Malus Siversii In the Tian Shan Mountain range that borders China and Kyrgyzstan lies the largest swath of wild apple forest in the world. The city of Alma-Ata (now Almaty) in the southern region of the country at one time had only 5000 inhabitants versus the 2 million residents of today and also wild apple forest. Sadly, like many apple trees in countries orchards have been cleared for construction. Thus, the Tian Shan Mountains are critical to the preservation of what remains of the once extensive forest of wild apple trees and is now a Natural Park Reserve. One must secure a permit and be escorted to visit the wild apple forest, which can be a daunting task. But one does not need to visit the mountains to taste the apples, they can simply head to Almaty and visit Apple City Cider! Apple City Ciders Almaty Classic (6.0%) has been bottled. Expect a crisp and refreshing cider made with cultured yeast and wild apples. Alex says it is "fresh, fruity, and acid driven". The Almaty Export is aging in oak and is a blend of native and cultured yeasts. Both ciders and all future Apple City Ciders moving forward are bottled in 750ML with crown caps. The Movie: Cider in Kazakhstan The Thomas filmed a documentary of the wild apple forest with special guests, Andrew Lea, Claude Jolicoeur, Ryan Burk and Peter Mitchell. The documentary is 2 hours and 13 minutes (which is divided up into 3 Parts) has been reformatted into a one hour show and is slated to be featured on Amazon Prime.

Angela Dawson has been farming for three years on land near Sandstone, Minn. She describes herself as a fourth-generation “reclamation” farmer, getting back to her ancestors' agricultural roots. “Part of my family is Black and the other is Native American,” Dawson said. “Our history over the last 150 years is layered with a lot of separation and forced moving.” It was in the mid-70s that Dawson's father's family lost their farm in southern Iowa after falling into debt on the rented land. “It was a bit traumatic,” she said. “A lot of my family at first thought I was crazy for wanting to get back into farming because of the trauma that most Black farmers have experienced in the United States.” Courtesy of Angela Dawson 40 Acre Co-op co-founder Angela Dawson speaks to a crowd at a Juneteenth celebration on the farm. Black farmers have experienced discrimination in the United States for the last 150 years. That's decimated the number of Black farmers in the country. But some African American farmers are still trying to connect with their agricultural roots, and at the same time, build a more sustainable and equitable agricultural system. Her family's experience is part of what inspired Dawson to start up the 40 Acre Co-op, a reference to the never fulfilled promise from the Union army that people freed from enslavement should get 40 acres and a mule. It's a cooperative that offers farmers from socially disadvantaged backgrounds support and resources to succeed in the field. As of now, the co-op has about three dozen active members across the country and many more on a waiting list. Dawson said it's time for people in the state, including those involved with traditional agricultural co-ops, to start taking issues of equity seriously. “Let's find a better way to talk about quality of life here in Minnesota for all of us, and to find ways to address some of these systemic issues that have long kept us from all achieving the same quality of life that we all deserve,“ Dawson said. Discrimination built into the system What Dawson's father experienced wasn't unique. The number of Black farmers in the country has plummeted from about a million a century ago, to just about 45,000 now, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture statistics. That accounts for just 1.3 percent of farmers in the country. This wasn't just a coincidence, said historian Pete Daniel, who authored a book called “Dispossession,” which documented the struggles of Black farmers to hold onto their land. After slavery was officially abolished in the United States, he said Black people overcame prejudice, terror and discriminatory policies to actually control significant tracts of land. Since 1920, Black farmers have lost tens of millions of acres of land. A study released this year put the value of this lost land at $326 billion. Part of the loss is due to how the agricultural system started to change in the 1930s. And the New Deal was a major influence, Daniel said. Whereas before, Black farmers could sue in court for inequitable treatment. The New Deal created county committees made up of local elites in each county, who were typically white. Those committees controlled land and federal loans. “They had the power to manipulate the county acreage, to give more acres to the people who they favored and to take away acres from the people they didn't favor, who were a lot of times the Black farmers,” Daniel said. “African American farmers had no representation and very little chance to appeal anything, so they were vulnerable to this system.” At the same time, the Department of Agriculture was prioritizing the modernization of American agriculture. So their policies emphasized the use of things like chemical fertilizers or mechanization, which were out of reach of smaller farmers who didn't have access to large amounts of money or federal loans. Daniel said mechanization of farms meant large landowners no longer needed as many workers on the land, so sharecroppers were thrown out of work, moved into town or even moved north, further decimating the numbers of Black farmers. And this trend didn't slow after the New Deal. These systems continued on for decades. Until they resulted in a class action lawsuit from Black farmers in the late 1990s. The farmers won the case, which is known as Pigford v. Glickman, but the terms of the consent decree limited only to farmers who could provide evidence of discrimination by the USDA between 1981 and 1996, severely limiting the impact. More debt relief funding for Black and minority farmers in the recent American Rescue Plan was blocked after lawsuits from white farmers. “I can't hardly find anything that's not profane here,” Daniel said of the lawsuit, “but it's just chicken****.” These are some of the systemic policies that contributed to a drastic decline in the number of farmers both across the country and in Minnesota. As of the most recent state agricultural survey, there were only 38 Black-owned farms in the state. Black on mostly white farmland Tim Evans for MPR News Henry Mitchell and his daughter Peace Mitchell pose for a portrait with wreaths made of balsam fir and jack pine trees grown on their Wadena family farm on April 20. It wasn't just the official systematic discrimination that Black farmers faced, especially in the heavily white rural Minnesota of decades past. Henry Mitchell grew up picking cotton in Mississippi, started a blues singing career in Memphis that brought him to a ski resort out west. That's where he met his future wife, Maren Mitchell, who came from a farm in Minnesota. Mitchell and his wife moved to a hippie commune in northern Minnesota, but after being converted by evangelicals, they started a farm in Wadena County. Tim Evans for MPR News Farmer Henry Mitchell shows an old photograph of his wife, Maren Mitchell, and children, Peace Mitchell, Isaac Mitchell, Samuel Mitchell, and Peter Mitchell, gathered on their Wadena County farm in the 1970s. As a farmer, Mitchell specialized in mushrooms. He said the first season was a “booming success.” He had fans of his mushrooms coming up from the Twin Cities suburbs just to get them: “I mean, I couldn't raise them fast enough.” His daughter Peace Mitchell remembers what it was like growing up on that farm. “My mom loved horses, so we had quarter horses. We had chickens and ducks and pigs, I mean, we had all kinds of animals,” she said. “It was pretty cool.” But growing up, Peace Mitchell remembers feeling slightly tokenized in the mostly white, rural community. “I, and my brothers, were the only brown kids in my school,” Peace Mitchell said, noting that the people in the area were always very nice. “I think that we were always like mascots, but in a way, you're always like a novelty.” Tim Evans for MPR News Peace Mitchell shows an old family photo of her and her mother, Maren Mitchell, in Wadena County in the 1970s.

Tim Evans for MPR News Peace Mitchell shows an old family photo of her and her father, Henry Mitchell, in Wadena County in the 1970s. Henry Mitchell said his farm did well. He and his wife picked up jobs in town to supplement their income. But it wasn't always easy. He said he'd largely learned how to shrug off racial slurs, but one day a man in a bar threatened to kill his family. Mitchell said the man was motivated by racism. “I was minding my own business when I went to get just a cheeseburger and they started talking,” Henry Mitchell said. “Nobody is going to tell me what they're going to do to me or my family and walk away.” Mitchell shot and wounded the man, and was later found not guilty. But he said he learned to find peace with people in the mostly white community, and insists that there were way more good people in the area than bad. Tim Evans for MPR News Henry Mitchell poses for a portrait in Brooklyn Park on April 20, 2022. Even now, Henry Mitchell said he can't wait to get back to farming. He's hoping to do that at his old farm, where his daughter and her family have started a tree farm with plans to do more farming. They're envisioning it as a retreat for people who want to learn about agriculture. Carrying on the legacy Jon Collins | MPR News Eugene Sublett and Luella Williams show a photo of the farm they grew up on. The experience of Black farmers in the state isn't uniform. Eugene Sublett and his family moved to a farm in 1970 when he was a young teenager. His father, who is also named Eugene, retired from the railroad, and had always been interested in farming. Sublett remembers what it was like moving from a Black middle-class family life in south Minneapolis to a rural farm with ducks, pigs, chickens and cows. “Twice a day every day milking cows and all the things that go with that: cleaning the barn, doing the crops, harvesting the crops, baling hay, getting everything ready,” Sublett said. “So it was a lot of work, and I think for the four of us, it was quite a transition.” Jon Collins | MPR News The Subletts on their farm near Ogilvie, Minn. in Kanabec County. (Seated) Eugene, (from right) Eugene, Delcie and Luella. Neither Sublett nor his sister Luella Williams remember any overt discrimination at the time, which they chalk up partly to the fact that their father, who was a minister, was famously gregarious. After their father experienced health problems, more of the farm chores fell to the children and their mother. After the elder Sublett died in 1983, they sold off the final animals. But Williams said she still carries lessons from her time on the farm. “I learned how to value and cherish things. Where today, kids don't like to value,” Williams said. “We worked for everything we got. And that's one thing I can say that came out of the whole ordeal.” Sublett and Williams bring their families to the land now, and still do some gardening there, sharing the farm they grew up on and their experiences with younger relatives. Angela Dawson, who said she still experiences discrimination in trying to get resources like federal loans, said her father was traumatized by losing the family's Iowa farm and lost touch with her family for years afterwards. She said her dad only ever really wanted to farm. “He can't be in the city too long, he's not really into the trappings of urban life,” Dawson said. “I think there were a lot of people who never really adjusted to urban living.” But Dawson's father, who was the last member of his family to be removed from their Iowa farm when their family lost the land, is planning to stay with them at their farm later this year. She's hoping to learn from her experience, as she carries on the family legacy. North Star Journey Celebrating Minnesota communities Pass the Mic What should we cover next?

The story of the science of plasma and its revolutionary implications for the way we understand the universe and our place in it. Histories of science in the 20th century have focused on relativity and quantum mechanics. But, quietly in the background, there has been a third area of exploration that has equally important implications for our understanding of the universe. It is unknown to the general public, despite the fact that many Nobel prize winners, senior academics and major research centres around the world have been devoted to it - it is the study of plasma. Plasma is fourth state of matter, and the other three - gas, liquid and solids - emerge out of plasma. This audiobook will reveal how more than 99 per cent of the universe is made of plasma and how there are two gigantic clouds of plasma, called the Kordylewski Clouds, hovering between the Earth and the Moon, only recently discovered by astronomers in Hungary. Other revelations not previously known outside narrow academic disciplines include the evidence that in certain circumstances, plasma exhibits features that suggest they may be in some sense alive: clouds of plasma have evolved double helixes, banks of cells and crystals, filaments and junctions, which could control the flow of electric currents, thus generating an intelligence similar to machine intelligence. We may, in fact, have been looking for signs of extra-terrestrial life in the wrong place. Best-selling author Robert Temple has been following the study of plasma for decades and has worked with several of the senior scientists - including Nobel laureates - at its forefront, including Paul Dirac, David Bohm, Peter Mitchell and Chandra Wickramasinghe (who has co-written an academic paper with Temple).
In this episode, we speak to Peter Mitchell who has just written a fascinating new book, Imperial Nostalgia: How the British Conquered Themselves, published by Manchester University Press. Peter argues that the British are haunted by their imperial past, unable to imagine themselves or their place in the world without it. This nostalgia shapes mainstream political debate on issues such as war, migration, culture, and history.
Joining Tom Jackson to discuss the postcards from their pasts are musician Sarah Gail Brand and historian Peter Mitchell (Imperial Nostalgia). We make sure the TV is tuned to Neighbours as we consider the spiritual possibilities of music, the perils of nostalgia (imperial and otherwise), bring the irresponsible archivists into the unfolding chaos of history, and steer clear of the Banana Night Shop.

Curated News First NYC Tree Canopy Study Shows Growth as Storms and Budget Cuts Threaten Gains | thecity.nyc | Rachel Holliday Smith Important Events November 15, 1843 On this day, the New England Farmer ran a little blurb about the Nutmeg Tree. The nutmeg tree flourishes in Singapore, near the equator. It is raised from the nut in nurseries, where it remains till the fifth year when it puts forth its first blossoms and shows its sex. It is then set out permanently. The trees are planted thirty feet apart, in diamond order a male tree in the center. They begin to bear in the eighth year, increasing for many years, and they pay a large profit. There is no nutmeg season. Every day of the year shows buds, blossoms, and fruit, in every stage of growth to maturity. The nutmeg is a large and beautiful tree, with thick foliage and of a rich green color. The ripe fruit is singularly brilliant. The shell is glossy black, and the mace it exposes when it bursts, is of a bright scarlet, making the tree one of the most beautiful objects of the vegetable world. Well, this article from 1843 was correct. Nutmeg trees can actually grow to be about 65 feet tall. They bear fruit for six decades or longer - so they're very productive. The fruit of the nutmeg tree resembles and apricots. And by the way, in case you're wondering the nutmeg is not a nut, it is a fruit - and that's why people with nut allergies can enjoy nutmeg because it's not a nut. Now the botanical name for nutmeg is Myristica fragrans. The etymology of the word Myristica is Greek and means “fragrance for anointing”, which gives us a clue to one of the ways that nutmeg was used in ancient times. You may have heard that nutmeg is illegal in Saudi Arabia. According to the journal of medical toxicology, nutmeg can be toxic and in Saudi Arabia, they consider nutmeg to be a narcotic. Nutmeg is not allowed anywhere in the country unless it's already incorporated into some type of pre-blended spice mix. November 15, 1981 On this day, Henry Mitchell wrote an article for the Washington Post called Blooms in the Boxwood in which he shared some of his favorite plants to grow in a primarily-green garden. Regarding the Japanese anemone, Henry wrote, It abides a good bit of shade and never looks better than against a background of box and ivy. The delicate-looking (but tough as leather) flowers are like white half-dollars set on a branching stem about four feet high, with a yellow boss of stamens in the middle. Its leaves all spring from the ground, like large green polished hands, so it looks good from spring to fall, and in winter you tidy it up and the earth is bare (sprigs of the native red cedar or holly can be stuck in… Regarding bugbane, Henry wrote, ...named for its supposed baneful effect on bugs... Its foliage is as good as or better than that of the anemone, and in October it opens its foxtail flowers (a quite thin fox, admittedly) on firm thin stems waist to chest high. The flowers are made of hundreds of tiny white florets, somewhat like an eremurus or a buddleis, only more gracefully curving than either. Against a green wall it is very handsome; gardeners who sometimes wonder what is wrong with marigolds and zinnias, reproached for their weedy coarseness, need only consult the bugbane to see the difference in elegance. For Chrysanthemums, Henry advises: As fall comes, you might indulge in a white cushion chrysanthemum. Chrysanthemums in my opinion cannot be made to look very grand or elegant, so I would not overdo them. Of course, they are fine for specialists who like to grow hundreds of different sorts, but I am speaking of just a green garden with a touch of white. Then you come again to the white Japanese anemones and bugbanes. November 15, 1984 On this day, The New York Times announced the return of a Spring Flower Show for the city. The International Flower Show ended, after over 10 years of exhibiting in the Coliseum, because of increasing costs and the demise of estates that recruited their garden staffs to create and grow exhibits, The new show's exhibition space will be 60,000 square feet, as against the 200,000 square feet provided by the Coliseum. An advantage of the new flower show's layout is that it will be on one floor. Larry Pardue, executive director of the Horticultural Society of New York, sponsor of the show, said: ''It will be unlike any show in the country. Rather than view a series of small gardens, visitors will be totally immersed in two huge gardens, 76 feet by over 100 feet long. It will be designed to be an emotional experience.'' By all accounts, the 1985 flower show was a huge success and was visited by more than 83,000 people. Larry Pardue became the Sarasota, Florida executive director of the Marie Selby Botanic Gardens, which specialized in orchids, bromeliads, and other epiphytes. Unearthed Words One day many years ago, a man walked along and stood in the sound of the ocean on a cold sunless shore and said, "We need a voice to call across the water, to warn ships; I'll make one. I'll make a voice that is like an empty bed beside you all night long, and like an empty house when you open the door, and like the trees in autumn with no leaves. A sound like the birds flying south, crying, and a sound like November wind and the sea on the hard, cold shore. I'll make a sound that's so alone that no one can miss it, that whoever hears it will weep in their souls, and to all who hear it in the distant towns. I'll make me a sound and an apparatus and they'll call it a Fog Horn, and whoever hears it will know the sadness of eternity and the briefness of life." The Fog Horn blew. ― Ray Bradbury, The Fog Horn Grow That Garden Library A House by the Sea by Bunny Williams This fantastic book came out in 2016 and it is all about Bunny's marvelous, Caribbean home called La Colina. This book is a beautiful coffee table book and what's really neat about this book is that each chapter is written by her friends. So Bunny has one friend write about the architecture and then another friend discusses the collections and another friend talks about the cooking and the food. Then Paige Dickey, the garden writer, toured the gardens and writes this wonderful essay about Bunny's beautiful gardens at La Colina. Of course, if I wasn't a huge bunny Williams fan if I didn't have her book called An Affair With A House or her book On Garden Style, I maybe would be tempted not to get this book. But I am a huge bunny Williams fan and I know that everything she does is done with so much beauty, grace, and style that I could not resist getting a copy of this book. Then once I learned that Paige Dickey was the person that got to review the gardens? Well, then I had to get my copy of this book. This beautiful book would make a great Christmas present. The photographs are absolutely incredible. I'll tell you a few of my favorite things from the garden section of this book. There is an entrance to the cactus garden that features all of this blue pottery and in each one of these blue pots is a cactus which makes for a stunning entrance to her cactus garden. There's also a gorgeous stone shell fountain at the end of the swimming pool and it's covered in vine. In fact, Bunny is known for her use of vines in the garden - something to keep your eyes peeled for if you get this book because you'll see her use of vines throughout the garden. Bunny not only has vines climbing up structures, but they also just ramble around and kind of make their way - softening a lot of the hard edges in the garden. The hardscapes are absolutely to die for and there's an avenue of Palm trees in this over-the-top, incredible garden. The entire property is just truly breathtaking. This book is 256 pages of Bunny Williams in the Caribbean and it's a must-have if you enjoy Bunny Williams and her work. You can get a copy of A House by the Sea by Bunny Williams and support the show using the Amazon Link in today's Show Notes for around $20. Today's Botanic Spark Reviving the little botanic spark in your heart November 15, 1985 On this day, The New York Times announced the auction of Empress Josephine's copy of Pierre-Joseph Redoute's botanical watercolors for ''Les Liliacees'' (''The Lilies''). Now the speculation in this article was that the auction could go from being five minutes long to five hours or longer. They had no idea who was going to ultimately win this particular auction and they estimated that Redoute The Lilies would go for anywhere from $5 to $7 million. Now this work was extra special because it was commissioned by Marie Antoinette. In fact, there's a famous story that Marie wanted to make sure that Redoute was as good as what she had heard and so she summoned him to come to her chambers in the middle of the night, one night and when he got there, she ordered him to paint her a cactus on the spot. He did and so obviously he proved his worth to her and he began painting many of the flowers that were in the Royal Gardens. Now Josephine Bonaparte was a huge lover of the gardens. She loved the flowers. She loved all of the new, exotic flowers from the tropics so she was always looking for new, beautiful blossoms to put in the Royal garden and of course, she was a huge Redoute fan. This impressive Redoute collection became hers and was passed on through her family line until 1935 when the collection was auctioned off in Zurich. Since that time it was held in a vault, in a bank as part of a family trust. Now, when it came to this particular auction, the reporter for this article spoke with a London dealer named Peter Mitchell who specialized in flower paintings and stressed the important significance of this work. He felt it was so unusual to have all of these originals still intact and still so beautiful and he expressed his concern that the collection might be bought by a syndicate, which basically means that a group of people would get together to buy the collection and then split it up. Thus, everybody in the syndicate would get their share of the collection. To cut the suspense, that's exactly what ended up happening. I checked the New York times for the result of this sale and here's what they wrote. “The sale lasted only three minutes. It was one of the fastest ever for such an expensive property. And the price achieved was the 10th highest for work purchased at an art auction house. ''I have $5 million against all of you on the phone and most of you standing,'' John L. Marion, Sotheby's president, said from the rostrum. ''Is there any advance on $5 million? I give you fair warning - sold for $5 million.'' The 10 percent buyer's commission brought the total selling price to $5.5 million. Now the gentleman that represented the syndicate said that he thought the collection was worth $20 million and so he was thrilled with his purchase. He also gave a little insight into the syndicate, which was made up of executives from different companies, there was also a shopping mall developer, partners in law firms, commodities traders, as well as every major investment bank in New York. He said that. 75% of them wanted the watercolors for themselves (they wanted to own a piece of Redoute's botanical art) while the other 25% were using it purely for investment. And so that was the fate of Pierre Joseph Redoute's The Lilies collection of botanical watercolors that had been owned by Empress Josephine Bonaparte. Today for you and I, we can purchase copies of Redoute's work on Etsy for around $20. Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."
Who is Bauman Cider Christine Walter is the cidermaker and visionary of Bauman's Cider. She grew up on an apple farm in Oregon runned by her family. As she tells it, Angry Orchard's "Crisp" was the first cider she ever tasted and it was a wake up moment that helped her realize that her family could ferment and sell cider too. Christine Walter Bauman's is a destination farm these days with a farm stand and events taking place year round. It has a deli, coffee shop, bakery, garden center, country store and now a cidery. In 2015 she took the well know cider course by Peter Mitchell. The family was already pressing 50,000 gallons of fresh pressed apple juice. The first year the cidery used 3000 gallons, the next year 10,000 gallons, in year 3 the cidery used 50,000 which required her to source apples from off the farm. In short she went from the classic Peter Mitchell model of a basic 10x10 foot cidery to a 3000 square foot operation. Despite the added space, she sees the need for more.

With Imperial Nostalgia: How the British Conquered Themselves (Manchester UP, 2020) Peter Mitchell offers a “history of the present”. That is to say, it is not a narrative of how we got to where we are, but rather a sustained reflection on how history shapes and interacts with our current world. Mitchell also engages the uses history for contemporary political purposes. Mitchell argues that memories of empire are at the root almost every aspect of Britain's culture wars. From battles over statues to skirmishes within hallowed Oxbridge halls he argues that imperial nostalgia infects British politics. Dr. Mitchell earned his doctorate at Queen Mary, University of London in 2014. His dissertation was on the India Office records and the historiography of the early modern British Empire. In addition to Imperial Nostalgia, he is the co-author of Ruling the World: Freedom, Civilization and Liberalism in the Nineteenth Century British Empire with Alan Lester and Kate Boehme also with Cambridge University Press, 2021.

Le but de ce format est de rassembler de nombreux artistes et que chacun nous délivre sa vision et son expérience de la photographie. 1m98, une grosse barbe, une voix imposante : le moins que l’on puisse dire, c’est que Thomas Klotz ne laisse pas indifférent. Originaire du Nord de la France, le photographe s’est fait connaître par un premier ouvrage paru en 2019 aux éditions EYD, Northscape, consacré à une série sur les paysages péri-urbains de sa région, dans la lignée du mouvement américain des «New Topographics». Thomas a ensuite sorti tout récemment un deuxième livre intitulé Eve, la montagne et la jeune fille. « Ça paraît simple, mais ça parle de présence dans les lieux, donc une poésie de l’attente, mais attente de quoi ? » Bernard Plossu nous annonce la couleur dans la préface. Avec un travail plus narratif et personnel, Thomas Klotz documente le quotidien de sa fille d’une manière très touchante : les lieux qu’elle traverse, son appartement, son regard, ses amies, ses doutes... Thomas Klotz, c’est une vie haute en couleurs, comme ses photos. Avocat de formation, il a aussi été producteur de film, notamment de La prochaine fois je viserai le cœur, avec Guillaume Canet. Adolescent, il veut devenir photographe, comme son père, mais se « range » finalement en réalisant un métier plus viable. Il revient à la photographie récemment et y consacre désormais la plupart de son temps. Un artiste dont en entendra parler, pour sûr. Dans ce podcast, il se livre sur son approche de l’image, ses multiples références, son rapport à la couleur, son amour pour le Dye Transfer, ses livres et leurs conceptions… Il ne reste plus qu’à vous souhaiter une excellente écoute !

Russell Johnson is the cidermaker/owner of Truck 59 Ciderhouse. Russ was born in Vancouver and spent most of his childhood in Manitoba where he learned beef and grain farming from his Dad. Russ graduated from the University of Manitoba with a pharmacy degree and worked as a pharmacist for over 20 years in various locations including Winnepeg, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Fort St James, and Saudi Arabia. After moving to Kelowna with his wife and kids, Russ decided to change gears and get creative with the apples on his orchard by starting up a cidery. He learned the art of cider making from renowned cider maker, Peter Mitchell from England, and started to experiment with different apple blends. The result was crisp refreshing ciders made at a beautiful lakeview setting in West Kelowna. The cidery opened its doors to the public this past summer to wonderful reception. Russ has plans to bring more delicious flavours and varieties of ciders to market next year and in the years to come.Support the showGUEST BOOKINGS CLICK HEREFollow me on Social MediaNew Town Big Dreams podcast on FacebookInstagramLinkedinLuke Menkes Kelowna RealtorMy Personal Facebook PageSupport the show (https://paypal.me/lukemenkes)

Rude Awakenings from Sleeping Rough is the first single author title from a different author that he has published. RUDE AWAKENINGS FROM SLEEPING ROUGH A new non-fiction book by Peter C. Mitchell with his experiences on Life in the streets! Set for release December 1st, 2020 and published by Stark Publishing and editor, Mark Leslie. This is a story that the charities don't want you to read. MORE DETAILS BELOW. About Peter and Mark: London born, Canadian raised Peter Mitchell was bumbling his way through a moderately successful career in business journalism when an investigation into a story on Corporate Social Responsibility inspired him to look beyond profit margins and PR into the very real problems faced by society. This inspiration prompted him to dip his toes into a self-confessed Sanity/Vanity project of a biography of his great, great grandfather, Sir John Kirk. As Secretary of The Ragged School Union, John championed the causes of children, the disabled, and the working poor in Victorian-era London. His influence extended beyond the city limits, and his life proved more interesting than previous biographies revealed. Dust-buried references have faced in the most obscure locales, showing the consequences—both good and bad—to the ragged and crippled children John Kirk devoted his life to help. In 2017, Peter returned to London to complete his research and begin the writing of “A Knight in the Slums.” The past was ready to be mined, and the future was assured. The present, however, took an unpredictable -and darkly ironic—turn. A series of unfortunate events transpired, creating a perfect storm of calamities leaving Peter penniles.
