In this talk, Rupert Sheldrake explores panentheism—the idea that the divine is not separate from the world but present throughout it, while also transcending it. With the grip of mechanistic materialism loosening, Rupert invites us to reconsider how we see nature, mind, and spirit. Tracing a broad arc from ancient philosophies and Christian mysticism to AI-generated worldviews, panpsychism, and psychedelics, he reflects on how the sacred presence in nature—-long affirmed by spiritual traditions-—is re-emerging through science, experience, and renewed practices of attention. Recorded at St James Church, Piccadilly, a longstanding hub for open spiritual inquiry and progressive theology in the heart of London.Rupert's SubstackLatest articles, early access to videos, exclusive talks

In healthcare, some of the most meaningful innovations happen when the right people are brought together in the right place. True progress depends on systems and infrastructure designed to connect ideas, people, and expertise across sectors.

ESCAPE THE 9–5 PRISON OR DIE A SLAVE You were NOT born to wake up to an alarm and answer to another man. This is your EXIT.
La estación de Aldwych cerró en 1994. Antes formaba parte de la línea Piccadilly, pero ahora permanece en silencio, mientras los trenes todavía recorren los túneles cercanos.Esta grabación captura la atmósfera nocturna de la estación—el eco distante del metro, sutiles cambios de presión en el aire, y los crujidos de una infraestructura olvidada. Londres nunca duerme del todo.
Today's special service comes from St James's, Piccadilly, as the nation unites to remember the end of the Second World War in Europe.The service is led by Rev Lucy Winkett, Rector of St James's and features a first-hand account of how the church was bombed during the Blitz, as well as contributions from Rt Rev Hugh Nelson, Bishop to the Forces, Armed Forces chaplains and music from St Martin's Voices.Be sure to tune in and be part of this community of faith, connecting worshippers across England and beyond.
Use this guide to help your group discussion as you meet this week. TranscriptGood morning. Happy Easter! My name is Chet. I'm one of the pastors here. If you will, grab a Bible and go to Romans chapter 4. We're going to consider just a few verses in the book of Romans this morning. We're going to pick up and look at the text that we looked at on Good Friday if you were with us then. We will be in Romans chapter 4, verses 24 and 25, and then we'll look a little bit at chapter 5.I want to read this: "It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord." We gather on Easter and we're celebrating that Jesus was raised from the dead, that he was dead and then came alive again, that He was crucified, buried, and then resurrected. His disciples, His mother, those who followed Him, the centurion, the religious leaders—they all saw Him die, saw Him buried, and then came back to life.There's a story recounted in Luke chapter 24 where Jesus's disciples are together and Jesus shows up after He had been crucified and buried. When He appears, His disciples are frightened and think He's a ghost. I've always thought that was funny that it's included in the Bible, but it makes a lot of sense. If you watch someone be brutally murdered and then be buried, and then you're gathered with people to be sad about it, and then they show up, your response isn't "oh!" Your response is "ah!" You immediately think something's wrong with you, your mind is broken, or ghosts are real. You don't jump to maybe there's a resurrection, maybe you've conquered death.Jesus shows them His hands and feet and says, "I have hands and feet; spirits don't." He's like, "Ghosts don't have feet, but I do because I'm real." And then He eats food. He verifies that He's been resurrected; He was literally dead and then literally rose back to life. We're going to study a text that helps us understand why that's wonderful because if you don't know much about Christianity, you may know that Jesus died and rose, but we want to know why that's wonderful.There are people in this room who have things they've done or that have happened, and you're like, "It's happened, it's done, it's sealed, it's final, it's official, it's locked in." But if we follow a God who can rise from the grave, then He can undo things that are sealed and locked in. The most final thing we have is death. You don't go see a judge and they're like, "All right, you're going to be executed today and then you better be at work tomorrow." That's not how it works. The most final thing we have is death. If He can undo that, then He can undo the things that we carry with us.We will see why it's wonderful. It says, "It will be counted to us who believe in him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, who was delivered up for our trespasses." That's what we looked at on Friday—that He was delivered up for our trespasses, meaning that we have actual debt, actual sin. One pastor says that sin does something; it literally does something in the world, in spiritual reality. He said it's similar to if I came to your house and broke something.Let's say you invited me over to watch something on your television. During our enjoyment, I got very frustrated and threw something at it, breaking it. The party is over; your TV is broken, and I have a debt. I have a guess that you like your TV, since you invited me over specifically to watch it. We have a problem: something is broken, and there are only a few options. I can pay the debt, or you can. Those are our options. I can fix what's broken; the cost can come from me, or the cost can come from you. Even if you said, "Don't worry about it," that doesn't fix your TV. You're just saying you'll pay the debt or incur the cost by never watching TV again or getting a new one.Do you know who can't say "Don't worry about it"? Me. I can't ruin the party and then go, "Wait, don't worry about it, it's not a big deal, let's pretend it never happened." The one person who can't do that is me. I can't bump into you, spill something on your shirt, and go, "Let's just forget this ever happened. Let's move on. It's not a big deal. It's your shirt, it's not mine. Let's just go about our day." I can't do that.Y'all realize we do that sometimes with people. We'll say, "Well, I don't know why it's such a big deal. God just needs to, like, why does He care?" That's us breaking the TV and then saying, "Don't worry about it." We can't do that. There's real debt, real trespass, a real cost.What we're celebrating is that Jesus paid it—that He was delivered up for our trespasses. That's what we talked about on Good Friday, that He paid the debt. Then it says this: that He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification. Not only did He take our debt, but when He rose, He was raised for our justification.Justification is an intentional legal word. It's very specific, precise, legally precise language. Now if you don't work in law or contracts, you might not see a lot of legally precise language. I think the place we most run into it is on food labels. For example, if you buy Cheese Whiz or something you spray on stuff, it says "processed cheese food" because it can't just say "cheese" since it's not just cheese. It can't say "processed cheese" because then cheese would be a noun. It says "processed cheese food," where "cheese" is an adjective describing the type of food it is. You're like, "What am I eating?" Scientists say, "Food." You're like, "Yeah, but what do you mean?" They're like, "Well, it's a cheese food." So legally precise language.If you buy Pringles, it doesn't say chips, it says crisps. What is a crisp? Legally, it's not a chip. That's about all I know—it's legally precise language.One of the places I appreciated this most was on the show The Biggest Loser. On that show, people try to lose weight. It sounds like they just got them together to make fun of them, but actually they lose weight, and the biggest loser is the winner—it's clever and confusing. My wife and I used to watch it, popcorn and Mountain Dew, and they would do challenges.In these challenges, to win immunity for the week, they'd have to eat a lot of sweets like Pop-Tarts or cupcakes. The trainers would be mad because they were breaking the spirit of the game. But the funny part was: they weren't allowed to say "Pop-Tarts" because they didn't have the rights, so they had to say "sugar-frosted breakfast pastries." It was like a game of Taboo.The reason I mention this is that the word "justified" in this text is intentionally precise, legal language. It's wonderful because "justified" means legally not guilty in court, but actually it means better than not guilty. It means declared righteous, ruled in your favor—that you are made righteous, declared righteous, legally not guilty, and you get to walk out free. It's officially accomplished by God in the highest court.This is beautiful, legally precise language. When He was raised, it was for our justification, meaning that you have been declared righteous, that He took your sin to the cross, and that when He rose, you have been made righteous. The debt has been paid.It's not just that Jesus says, "Hey, if you come to me I'll forgive your sins, and you need to go live a good life." He doesn't just wipe the slate clean; He signs your name at the top and turns it in. That has been applied to your account.Periodically, I'll hear Christians say things like, and they're right in one aspect, "I'm a sinner; I have debt." If you come in and say, "I'm a pretty good person," we want to tell you, "No, you're not." If nobody's been kind enough yet to point out how not wonderful you are, welcome to Mil City Church. No, you're not. We are so thoroughly unimpressed with you. You're a sinner. You have real debt. You have real trespasses. We want you to be aware that you innately sin—that you sin on your own and then, when you know it's sin, you still do it. Once you learn it was wrong, you still do it. You can't just say, "It's okay because you're offended; you caused the offense; you can't declare it's okay."So, you're a sinner, but if you belong to Jesus, you are not. You are justified and made righteous. I hear Christians sometimes say, "I'm the worst, I'm just so terrible, I'm always waiting." And I say, "And then Jesus made you righteous?" If you belong to Christ, no, you're not. You're not guilty—you're made righteous. Paul calls himself the chief of sinners in the context of declaring he's received mercy. He says that so everyone else can know if Paul can be forgiven, so can you.The hope that we have is that He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification—that we've been made righteous. But there's a way this happens; it applies this way.Go back to the beginning of the sentence: It says, "It will be counted to us." What is "it"? It is what Jesus has done, what Jesus has done will be counted to us, accredited to us, put on our account, granted to us, applied to us. It is what Jesus has done.How will it be counted to us? By belief. That you believe in Christ, believe that God raised Him from the dead, that you believe He paid your debt, that you want it applied to your account. Then it will be applied.There's a movie called My Cousin Vinny. My wife was out of town, and I was bored, so I watched it again. It's about two young guys from New York going to school in Alabama. They're in the wrong place at the wrong time, driving the wrong car, and get accused of murder. Because they're from New York, it's not going well. Then one says, "I'm going to call my cousin Vinny," a lawyer from New York.Vinny shows up. It's not going well. There's tension over whether he'll represent them. The local guy is worse than Vinny. There's a big moment in court where Vinny says to the local guy, "You're fired. I want to represent my cousin."It's a moment where you can look cosmically at God and say, "I want Jesus to represent me. I want Him to go before me. I want Him to take my debt. I want Him to grant His righteousness to me." And it will be counted if you believe. It will be applied to your account by belief. It will be accomplished not by you but by Him. You trust that His death paid your trespasses and His resurrection justified you before the Lord, declared innocent, righteous, holy, and blameless if you'll just believe. If you'll just look and say, "I want Jesus to pay my debt. I want Jesus to cover me. I trust Him. I believe He's good. I do not want to represent myself."That's what it's saying. It will be counted to us who believe.So again: "It will be counted to us who believe in Him who raised from the dead Jesus our Lord, who was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification."Therefore, since we have been justified by faith—we're justified by faith.That's the legal word again: not by works, not by morality, not by intelligence, not by effort—you're justified by faith, by trusting Him, not yourself.And that makes so much sense. What doesn't work before God is for you to sin, fail, then go to Him and say, "Don't worry. I got this. I'm going to be good enough, pay it off, do so well that you can't help but respond singing my praises." That doesn't work.Instead, we come and say, "I trust Jesus. I believe He's good. I believe He's righteous. I believe He paid my debt. I want Him to represent me. I want Him to cover me." And we say, "I trust that He's good."The Bible says there will be nobody who entrusts themselves to Him who is put to shame. Nobody that calls on Him will be put to shame. Nobody who says, "If He doesn't cover it, I'm in trouble," will be put to shame. Everyone who comes to Him for mercy will receive mercy.We are to be justified by faith, so you just believe. You just trust in the finished work of Jesus.Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.You ever been at odds with someone? You can feel it. You've done something, said something, and you're around them and can feel the tension.It says there is no tension between those who belong to Jesus and the God of the universe.Every once in a while, I'll bust into one of my children's rooms. They're little—wouldn't do this when they're older, but I do it sometimes just to mess with them. I say, "Aha!" Just to mess with them. It's fun because often they just look at you like, "What? I was perfectly innocent. I wasn't doing anything." Other times, the guilt gets to them. They feel like they've been caught.I had a son hide something one time—a toy. He just needed to hide it; it was nothing serious.The idea is God can look at you and you can just be free. Nothing to worry about, no hint of fear. No "Oh wait." If people announced, "I'm going to come tour your house today," you'd be like, "Hold on. Is it clean? How do I…?" But with God, there's peace.We have peace with God through the work of Jesus. We're free.Some people think Christians are always looking over their shoulders like God's ready to get them. No. Jesus paid the debt. God's not mad at you if you belong to Christ, if you've trusted Him. He's not disappointed, upset, or frustrated because the debt has been paid.Jesus was delivered up for your trespasses. He was raised for your justification.You've been declared innocent, free.When I was growing up, my dad was self-employed, and sometimes things went well—but other times, it was tight.My parents would sit my brothers and me down and say, "Money's really tight. If any of you want something, you're going to be in big trouble." They would say, "You're going to eat what we give you and be happy about it."Sometimes, we got to go eat at places with cafeterias. Back then, there was Piccadilly. Let me explain how this works: When you get there, you can see the food, but you can't access it. The food is in what I call "food prison." There are food wardens who put the food on your plate, and every item you get means debt you'll pay later.There were times when we got to go, but beforehand, my dad would say, "Look…" When we got there, he'd tell us what we were allowed. One piece of chicken, two vegetables, some Jell-O. He'd be looking at the cake like, "You know you can't have that."We knew the terms in advance, which was good parenting—pre-threaten your children in the truck, then when they try something, just give them the look. Pre-threatening inflates the meaning.We were supposed to get what we got and be thankful.Then there were buffets, which were very different. There used to be more buffets—Ryan's, Quincy's, Western Sizzler. We had a place called Fire Mountain. Ryan's had a roll as big as your head.At a buffet, you pay first and then you're free. There's no food warden; you hold the scoop. Nobody protects the food from you. At SNS, you were supposed to get a little and be happy. At a buffet, you're free.When my dad took us to buffets, it was so we could hurt ourselves. We were supposed to pile things up, show him, and eat it all—not waste it—try different foods: soft serve, cookies, that weird pink stuff no one liked.Jesus has been raised for our justification.Christianity is not the SNS cafeteria; it's a buffet. I don't mean license to sin but freedom and joy—a feast.The debt has been paid. As Christians, we need to repent of sin, mourn the brokenness in the world. But the default mode of the Christian life is joy because Christ is resurrected.There is no debt; it's all been paid.We walk with our heads held up, hearts full, rejoicing in the freedom and hope Christ has given, to His glory.When I piled food on my plate at a buffet, it brought joy to my dad's heart that I appreciated what he had bought.When we walk as Christians with hope, fellowship, life, joy, and eternity in focus, acknowledging that when we sin, we have propitiation—that Someone stands between us and God—we are not guilty.We go to Him in grace and forgiveness and say, "It's never been about me; it's about You. My trust is in You, the glorious King who saves sinners."That brings joy and delight to His heart because He already paid the cost.We walk in freedom.Galatians says, "It is for freedom that He set us free." I used to read that and wonder, "What does that mean?" It means freedom.I'm not supposed to think, "I can't pile two things on my plate at the buffet." I'm supposed to enjoy it, delight, and walk in joy.That's what we celebrate at Easter.If you've trusted in Him, you are not dirty, broken, covered in sin.He was delivered up for your trespasses and raised for your justification.If He is risen and you've trusted Him, you are free, covered, blameless, and it's already happened.We aren't waiting for the sentence to be dropped. We're not in court waiting to hear our fate. If you've trusted Jesus, the sentence has been passed. He was declared guilty. We have been made righteous.The band's coming back up. We're going to sing.If you're a Christian, I remind you Jesus is risen and you are free and made righteous.If you have not placed your faith in Jesus and plan to represent yourself in court—plan with your own wisdom, morality, goodness, or just declaring, "It's not that big a deal"—I say: Trust Jesus.Place your faith in Him. Go to the Lord and say, "I want Jesus to cover me. I want Jesus to stand in for me. I want Jesus to pay my debt. When He died, pay my sin. When He rose, give me life."And it will be counted for those who believe.Let's pray.Jesus, we are thankful for the hope of the resurrection that holds secure through the finished work of Jesus—that all who call on Your name will be saved.You were delivered up for our sin, raised for our justification, and in You and You alone we have hope.May Your name be glorified. Amen.

CarneyShow 04.13.25 The Piccadilly at Manhattan, Eric Andre, Erin Lapidus, Tom O'Keefe by
Todd Kurtz stops by to share the excitement happening at the Piccadilly Social District. The facility features a roller skating rink, go-kart tracks, golf simulators, an arcade, and a full-service restaurant. You are invited to join in the fun at 181 Audrey Lane in Union, Missouri.
On this episode, we were joined by Lola Kirke, the British-American actress and musician known for Mozart in the Jungle, Mistress America, and Gone Girl, who has written Wild West Village—a witty and moving essay collection described by Booklist as the “Andy Warhol Diaries for rich New York City art kids of the new millennium.”The book follows Kirke's famous family—including her father, Simon (drummer for Free and Bad Company), and her sister, Jemima (of HBO's Girls)—from West London to the West Village, as Lola navigates life in a family of larger-than-life personalities who party hard, exude effortless cool, and embody talent, beauty, and sophistication.
Nekoč je bil reven kmet, najemnik, ki je vedno teže živel,grozilo mu je, da bo izgubil zemljo, ki jo je obdeloval. Imel je tri sinove, Petra, Pavla in Jakca, ki so mu rekli tudi Copata. Nič kaj prida niso bili ti fantje, samo pohajali so naokrog in niso hoteli opraviti niti kančka dela; to se jim je zdelo edino pravilno. Mislili so tudi, da so preveč dobri za karkoli in da nič ni dovolj dobro zanje.In tako, kot je navadno v pravljicah, prva dva brata nistabila preveč uspešna. Zanimivo, kako tretji brat vedno pomaga rešiti tudi starejša dva, ki sta navadno ali lena ali zlobna ali nesposobna. Tudi tokrat ga Jakec, tretji brat pihne in to dobesedno, v zakrivljeno cevko, ki se zdi podobna pipi.

I'm calling it right now. Lesbian Space Princess is the film of the year. I saw it in a sold out auditorium at the beautiful art deco Piccadilly cinema in Adelaide with an Adelaide Film Festival audience that lapped up every laugh, every tear, and every splash of neon bright queer celebration on screen. Lesbian Space Princess is the animated feature debut of filmmakers Leela Varghese and Emma Hough Hobbs, a collaborative force to be reckoned with, set to change the Australian film industry one bubblegum flavoured cel at a time. The film follows Saira (voiced brilliantly by the superb Shabana Azeez), the titular lesbian space princess who finds herself having to leave her sheltered planet in the wide galaxy to save her punk rock ex-girlfriend Kiki (Bernie Van Tiel) after she is kidnapped by the Straight White Maliens (voiced by the Aunty Donna crew). Saira pilots a ship (voiced with joyous deadpan delivery by Richard Roxburgh, completing his one-two punch of career best performances alongside his turn in The Correspondent), encountering the delightful Willow (a scene stealing Gemma Chua-Tran), and the two head off in the galaxy to save Kiki.That plot synopsis barely scratches the surface of what is going on within one of the sharpest, funniest, queerest films to be produced in Australia. There is the Australian film industry before Lesbian Space Princess, and there is the Australian film industry after Lesbian Space Princess, and I can't wait to see what work this film inspires people to create. I'm still giddy from the ten minute standing ovation that took place on the opening night. You know us Aussies, we're not partial to standing ovations, let alone standing for anything (unless it's a queue), so to know we stood, clapped, cheered, and heaped deserving praise on this debut film is a strong enough statement as it is. That energy I'm putting forward lingers in the following interview with Leela, Emma, and Shabana (who joined us after a day of shooting her HBO series The Pitt, and after her film Birdeater took home Best Indie Film at the AACTAs). In this discussion, we talk about the origins of Lesbian Space Princess, what it means to create a narrative that everyone can relate to, the varied emotionality of the film, and a lot more. We close the chat with Emma telling us the impact of the film on relationships. This interview was recorded ahead of Lesbian Space Princess' world premiere at the Berlinale Film Festival where it is in competition for the Panorama Audience Award and the Teddy Award for LGBTQIA+ films. The version screened at the Adelaide Film Festival was a work in progress print. Lesbian Space Princess was awarded the full $10,000 from the Queer Screen Completion Fund. The Completion Fund recipients are determined by an independent jury. The following chat is one of the first pieces (of many) that the Curb will be putting up this year as we celebrate the year of Lesbian Space Princess.

To kick off the special You've Got This podcast series, I'm sharing the story of (and the insights provided by) Simon Alexander Ong, author of Energize AND one of the terrific panellists coming to the book event at Hatchards, Piccadilly! Simon is an award winning life coach, keynote speaker and author of the best selling book Energize. But he didn't always want to be a coach, actually, he came across it during his time working in the financial sector. His interest deepened and he started to study alongside his full time job. Later, he started coaching and this grew to the point that he stopped working in financial services and dedicated all his working time to coaching and, latterly, speaking and writing too. It was such a joy to speak to Simon for You've Got This, and I'm delighted I can share our full chat with you here... enjoy! Got You've Got This? If not, grab it from Amazon or Bloomsbury here!

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. Towards the end of 2019, I decided that in 2020, I would go all in on a minimalist project. I had played around with it for a number of years, but it wasn't until 2020 that I formally turned it into a project and began the process of clearing out a lot of stuff I had collected that was no longer benefiting me. And yes, four or five years ago, minimalism was a thing. Everyone was talking about it, and there were thousands of videos of people showcasing how bare and minimal their workspaces were. It was a trend, and while that trend appears to be forgotten, I learned many things that I still practice today. So, it was a nice surprise to find a question about it in my inbox a few weeks ago. I realised it was a good time to tell you about what I learned and what I am still practising today. So, without further ado, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question… Which I realise I've already told you. This week's question comes from Milos. Milos asks, hi Carl, I remember a few years ago, you mentioned that you were about to start a minimalist project. How did it go, and are you still a minimalist? Hi Milos, thank you for your wonderful question. Like most projects, or goals, designed to change how you do things, once you complete them, it's easy to forget you ever did them. My minimalist project was such a project. I changed a lot of things that I do automatically today, so your question caused me to reminisce on how things used to be. I should point out that I wasn't into extreme consumerism. I would replace my phone, iPads and computers when they stopped functioning in a way I needed them to do. For example, my old Intel computer became very slow over a year when Apple switched from Intel chips to their M series. So much so that it took up to an hour to render a fifteen-minute YouTube video. When I changed my computer to an M series one, that time came down to around six minutes. However, I think I am a bit of a hoarder, and I had boxes of old papers from my teaching days I no longer needed. I was always reluctant to throw away old clothes, believing one day I might regain the weight I had lost and would require those bigger sizes again. My wardrobe, drawers and other cupboards were full of stuff I no longer needed and would never need again. So that was where the project began. Clearing out old clothes and papers I no longer needed. As with all endeavours like this, I did go a little extreme. My desk, for instance, was stripped of its soul—well, it felt like it. All I had on there was my computer, keyboard and trackpad. I found it became an uninspiring place to work. So, gradually, I added some things back. An analogue clock—a tool I use to prevent time blindness when I get into a focused zone and a few little mementoes to bring some character back. The biggest part of the project was clearing out drawers, cupboards and my wardrobe. That was liberating and I was surprised how much space I had once everything was cleared and either thrown away or taken to the recycling. I moved house at the end of 2021, and that was an opportunity to complete the project—well, the clearing out of the old part of the project. However, the biggest change was in the way I approached purchasing. I stopped buying electronic gadgets. I am in the Apple ecosystem and Apple's products, on the whole, last a long time. For example, I have an iPad mini for reading ebooks, magazines and the newspaper. I've had the same iPad mini for the last five years. And I have no intention of replacing it any time soon. Another change was to apply some rules to my purchasing. This was inspired from how the British gentry in the early 1900s approached buying clothes and personal consumption items. In the 1920s (and 30s), aristocrats bought clothes and necessities once. For instance, a young aristocrat would purchase a set of luggage that would last a lifetime. If something broke or the leather tore, they would fix it. A new suitcase was not necessary. These repairs added character and gave these items a unique look. It was also a much more environmentally friendly way to treat possessions than we do today—throwing away items once they are either out of date or have a minor problem and buying new ones. It's easy to tell ourselves that life was much simpler in those days. It wasn't. People had just as many problems as we do today. They did not have the conveniences we have: no food delivery services, no Google or ChatGTP to find something out instantly, and no technology to make doing our work better and faster. The clothing rule I applied was built around the principle of less is better. This translated into buying better quality and less of it. It also allowed me to apply a rule of only buying natural fibres. So that meant mainly cotton and wool. I do have some un-natural fibre clothing. My exercise gear and a heavy winter coat, for example—it gets very cold in Korea. But apart from that, I stick to natural fibres. Much of what I do today is inspired by the pre-consumerism days. Only buy what you need and buy the best quality you can afford. I also learned something from Winston Churchill. Choose your suppliers. What this means is you use the same stores to buy your clothes and anything else you may need. Winston Churchill, for instance bought all his suits from H W Poole—a London tailor in Savile Row. His shirts were bought at Turnbull and Asser, and his iconic cigars came from James Fox. If you think about that for a moment, if you use the same suppliers for all your clothing and other things, you know your sizes and precisely what you want, which means you don't need to research or waste a lot of time trying to find what you want. You reduce the paradox of choice and get back to living life. Now, I cannot afford to buy suits from H W Poole or shirts from Turnbull and Asser, but I do have my own favourite suppliers. I buy socks from Peper Harow, my sweaters from N Peal and Cordings of Piccadilly and coats from Barbour. Yes, they are expensive, but the clothing last a very long time and are all made from either cotton or wool. Another lesson I learned from my minimalist project was the importance of rules and routines. If you've read Around The World In Eighty Days or the books by P G Wodehouse and his characters Jeeves and Wooster, you may have noticed the main characters had strict rules and routines. Wake up times and when they expected their morning cup of tea. Dinner time was a social occasion with pre-dinner drinks and formal clothing. Perhaps part of the reason for the increase in mental health issues today is because we no longer have these important daily rituals. It's all go go go. No time to stop and appreciate sitting around a table with family and friends or going out for a daily walk, or even doing what in Around The World in Eighty days is called your “toilet”—which means washing and bathing. These were deliberate activities, not rushed or forced. It was just what you naturally did each day. There was a time for everything. Another area of this period that has fascinated me was the way people approached writing and replying to letters. This was considered a joy and most people spent time each day doing it. And there was a mix of personal and business letters that needed to be done and the volume was comparable to what we receive in emails and messages today. The biggest difference was rather feeling they had to reply to everything each day, they focused on the amount of time they had available to write. I have adopted this approach myself. I don't look at how many emails I need to reply to, I look at how much time I have and once that time is up, I stop. If you do that every day, you will remain on top of your communications reasonably consistently. I often hear about people doing a digital detox. One change I made, was to again take inspiration from the 1920s and 30s. In those days people bought their favourite newspaper and read the whole paper. Now, many successful people still do this today. Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan Chase Bank and Warren Buffett for instance. They subscribe to their favourite newspapers and allocate time each day to read them. This stops you from getting caught up in clip bait headlines and being “triggered” by low quality reporting. So now I read the same newspaper every day and only look through my social media later in the evening when I have finished my day. So the lessons I learned was to buy less stuff but better quality. That's ensured my wardrobe is clean and not over-stuffed with clothes I won't wear. I have also structured my days better. There's a time for doing my communications, eating with family and friends, and my favourite of all, going out for what we call our family walk. That's with my wife and little Louis. He loves it, and my wife and I get some quality time most days. All of this was inspired from reading history books and biographies and realising that minimalism isn't about stripping everything out of your life so all you are left with is a soulless screen. It's about removing things that no longer serve you, and leaving the things that mean something to you and living life by a set of rules you set yourself. I hope that has answered your question, Milos. Thank you for asking it and thank you for listening. It just remains for me to wish you all very very productive week.
Mona Siddiqui and guests hear from Rev Denzil Larbi. He reflects on his cousin, Elianne Andam, who was 15 when she was fatally stabbed at a bus stop in Croydon, South London, in September 2023. He discusses their Christmases together and how the family mark Christmas without her.The panel of guests explore the complexities that often come with religious festivals especially those that come with an expectation of jollity. Do religions do enough for those who are grieving or isolated at times of collective merriment? Should religious leaders and communities be more responsible and nuanced in their approach? And, are some religions better at dealing with grief than others?To discuss Mona is joined by Jasvir Singh, from the Department of Theology and Religion at Birmingham University, Chair of City Sikhs, and the founder and Chair of the British Sikh Report, the Revd Lucy Winkett, Rector of St James's, Piccadilly, and Priest-in-Charge of St Pancras's Church, Euston Road, and Remona Aly, British Muslim journalist, commentator and broadcaster with a focus on faith, identity and lifestyle.

20-time winner on the PGA Tour, Hale Irwin takes us back to his early days on Tour and shares the lessons he learned from mentors like Bruce Devlin and Dale Douglas. Surviving the pressures of being a "Monday qualifier", Hale finally closed the deal in his fifth year on Tour, prevailing at the 1973 Sea Pines Heritage Classic. Confidence from that first victory propelled him to success the following year at the U.S. Open at Winged Foot and at the Piccadilly Match Play at Wentworth GC.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 13ú lá de mí na Nollaig, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 2003 bhí ceannairí na hEorpa i sáinn de bharr bunreacht nua san Eoraip. Bhí An Fhrainc agus an Ghearmáin ar son córas vótála nua agus dhiúltaigh An Spáinn agus An Pholainn. I 2007 tháinig Ian Paisley agus Martin McGuinness le chéile chun siopa Ikea nua a oscailt i dTuaisceart na hÉireann. I 2000 rinne Minnie Baker ó Chroisín cuilt phíosála agus thug sí é chuig ospís an Chláir chun airgead a bhailiú. Sheas an chuilt do na oibrí deonach, na hothair agus an fhoireann. Bhí an chuilt an chéad duais i gcrannchur na Nollaig. I 2007 bhí ceithre theaghlach in O'Callaghan Mills, iargúlta do cúig lá de bharr tuilte. Bhí siad ábalta rudaí a fháil agus dul áit éigin i dtarracóir. Dúirt Rory Moloney a raibh ina chónaí ann, nach raibh a chlann ábalta dul abhaile do chúpla lá nuair a chuaigh siad amach chun siopadóireacht na Nollaig a dhéanamh. Sin Outcast le Hey Ya – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2003. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 2000 bhí síniú leabhair ag Waterstones i Piccadilly le Paul McCartney. Bhí Sir Paul McCartney ann sa siopa chun síniú cúpla cóipeanna de a leabhar nua. I 2013 – tháinig Beyonce amach lena albam nua darbh ainm 'Beyonce'. Bhí sé seo a chúigiú albam. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Jamie Foxx i Texas i 1967 agus rugadh amhránaí Taylor Swift i Meiriceá i 1989 agus seo chuid de a amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.
I recently had the pleasure of hosting a panel of experts at London's Fortnum and Mason's Food & Drink Studio at their Piccadilly store to discuss the wonderful world of mushrooms with Tim Spector, Tom Baxter and Ester Gaya.We discussed a range of topics including, what nootropic effects we know about with specific mushrooms and what research underpins this understanding. The use of psychedelic mushrooms and their potential uses in mental health and trauma. As well as how culinary mushrooms can enhance our health.Tom Baxter, founder of The Bristol Fungarium, producing the UK's first organic certified medicinal mushrooms.Tim Spector is a Professor of Genetic Epidemiology at King's College London, director of the Twins UK study and one of the world's leading researchers, trained in rheumatology and epidemiology.Ester Gaya, Senior Research Leader in Comparative Fungal Biology at Kew Gardens, who have a strong track record in fungal diversity research and are home to the largest fungarium in the world, holding over 1.25 million fungal specimens.

rWotD Episode 2671: Everything Goes (game show) Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Monday, 26 August 2024 is Everything Goes (game show).Everything Goes is a game show that aired in the US from 12 September 1981 to 28 September 1988, with comedian Kip Addotta as host. It originally aired on Escapade for its first three years, then moved to the Playboy Channel in 1984 (which aired reruns of those first three seasons, and produced new episodes under the title The All-New Everything Goes). The show was produced by Scott Sternberg Productions. It was described as a "sort of cross between Hollywood Squares and strip-poker".The show's theme song was "Piccadilly" by Squeeze; while the open used only the instrumental open/close of the song (with a drumroll in between, to punctuate host Addotta's intro), the full-length version was used during the closing credits.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:49 UTC on Monday, 26 August 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Everything Goes (game show) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Amy.

In her poem 'God's Garden', Dorothy Frances Gurney writes:'One is nearer God's heart in a garden Than anywhere else on earth.'Join Giles Fraser and a panel of green-fingered guests as they gather together at the Aga Khan Centre in Kings Cross to reflect on the theological significance of gardens and gardening.From Eden and Gethsemane, to the ancient Islamic gardens of Andalusia, to the Japanese Gardens of Zen Buddhism; temples to churchyards, these sacred zones have been places of solace and reflection for millennia; places of life and death, of peace and tranquillity. Here, even non-religious gardeners find common ground with their religious counterparts: on their knees, often in silence, hands in the earth. For many, gardening is the answer. We hear from Jill Smith - lay minister and trustee of 'The Quiet Garden Movement', who tells us how her garden is a place of healing.Our panellists are Dr Omar Ali de Unzaga - Head of Ismaili Studies at the Aga Khan Centre, Revd Lucy Winkett - Rector at St James' Church in Piccadilly, and Ai Hishii - Director of Japanese garden architects, Momiji Design.*You can visit the Islamic Gardens at the Aga Khan Centre for free - book online.Presenter: Giles Fraser Producers: James Leesley and Bara'atu Ibrahim Editor: Tim Pemberton

Traditional breast prosthetics can be hot, heavy and sticky. They typically require special bras or camisoles with pockets and can't be worn for weeks after surgery. Knitted Knockers are soft, comfortable, beautiful and when placed in a regular bra they take the shape and feel of a real breast. They are adjustable, washable and can even be worn while swimming. Our special volunteer knitters provide these FREE to those requesting them” Please visit the Knitted Knockers website, Knitted Knockers Homepage for all the information that you need. This webpage is especially helpful for information on approved yarns and color information: Yarns and colors Very Important: Please note that neutral colors are preferred. If you want, you can use bright colors on the bottom of your knocker, but the top of it needs to be in a neutral color. Patterns: So many choices! Please go to this section to pick and download your (free) pattern: Knitted Knockers Patterns. Hint: The Bottoms Up Knocker for Double Point Needles pattern works great with magic loop too…and has the easiest “start” to your knocker!
