"I just had a lot of questions about the culture of noise we live in. And I was also a bit fed up with people just constantly having opinions which to me, that was the assumption, something jarring about the way people were jumping on or do jump on bandwagons and what you know and offer their opinion on absolutely everything and have a take and it's all black and white. And I just, I felt like all this noise is you can't you almost can't hear yourself think which is why the idea of silence came about."

On the Hop Forward Podcast this week, we ask the question, 'Can British Hops Really Create an Incredible IPA?' to Will Rogers, technical director for hop merchant, Charles Faram.To answer this question, we partnered with Charles Faram to brew one for ourselves using hops from Charles Faram's hop breeding programme, making use of hops such as Harlequin, Jester, Olicana, Godiva, Mystic and their most recent edition Most, I attempted to push the boundaries of what hops to our native soil can really do in a modern IPA.The result...? England's Green and Pleasant Land is an all British Hopped IPA (6.1%), brewed in collaboration with Charles Faram and Emmanuales, which showcases how beautifully divine and delightfully hoppy IPAs can come out of England's Green and Pleasant Land.FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE BEERDownload the recipe | Buy the beer | Follow EmmanualesTODAY'S EPISODE OF THE HOP FORWARD PODCAST IS SPONSORED BY:Bespoke Brewing Solutions designs and manufactures equipment that allows breweries to produce high-quality craft beverages with increased cost-effectiveness and faster turnaround times.The BBS team has 8 years of solid teamwork together and 10+ years of experience in manufacturing brewing equipment.

It's 1997 and Bridget Jones is navigating New Labour, the sudden death of Princess Diana, and her on-again off-again relationship with the elusive Mark Darcy. Caroline and novelist Ayisha Malik discuss why Helen Fielding remains one of the greatest comic novelists of the 20th century (and yours, Mrs Townsend, are quite good too),as well as the everlasting and occasionally frustrating thick behaviour of our best mate Bridget. Ayisha Malik is the author of several books, most recently This Green and Pleasant Land. Her next novel, The Movement, is out in 2022. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

The British countryside is known for its rolling hills, idyllic villages and picturesque views - but also for its comparative lack of ethnic diversity, compared to our urban areas. Why is that? Dorset is 97.9% white. By default, that means encounters between people from different ethnicities can be rare and sometimes troubling. In this episode, Ollie Peart discovers what life is like if you are from an ethnically diverse background. Residents, including campaigners, describe the appeal of living in such a stunning landscape but how it's also led to “covert racism”. Criminologist at the University of Leicester and co-author of “Rural Racism”, Professor Neil Chakraborti has talked to individuals and families across the country and discovered a so-called “invisible” crime where incidents such as verbal abuse, staring, or avoidance tactics like crossing the street, go unreported. This episode contains examples of racist language. A list of organisations that can provide help and support is available under the more support section at bbc.co.uk/actionline. Hosted and produced by Ollie Peart and Ian Ramsdale. Executive Producer Kathryn Morrison.

For our main dish of the day, we turn to the words of our Lord Jesus written in John 12:25: Joh 12:25 (25) He who loves his life shall lose it. And he who hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal. He states categorically that any one of us who delights in his life in this world shall lose his life. And He goes further to reveal the prerequisite for you and me to live in our heritage of life eternal even while we are yet in our mortal bodies. He declares that the precondition for us live in eternal life is to “hate our lives in this world”. What does our Lord Jesus mean by “this world”? As we had seen previously, this world is characterized by these three parameters revealed by His Apostle in 1John 2:15 & 16: 1. The irresistible impulse to gratify the inherent nature of the devil we were all born with before we were born of God. 2. The insatiable desire for the thing money can buy. 3. Defining oneself by the values of the world of Satan. How then do we hate our lives in this world? We begin our quest to respond to our question by looking at the church in the wilderness. After she was delivered out of Egypt, the whole nation of Israel saw The Pleasant Land through the eyes of the twelve spies as is written for us in Numbers 13. We pray that you are nourished with the Truth, by the Spirit of Truth, even as you continue to listen in the name of Jesus Christ. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-table-with-bro-joshua/message

All good things must come to an end, thus the conclusion to the Rat Hack aka A Green and Pleasant Land. That's right folks, it's the epic end of the Pathfinder 1e mini campaign I've been running for the past few months and I want to talk about it! I also want to talk about how lucky I am to have the best players in the world! Each of them were kind enough to call in and tell us what their character is up to one year later, despite my players being sooooo over the RPG homework assignments I always seem to assign. Eternal thanks to five of the most amazing players of all time: James, Julz, Laura, Shell, and Woody. Y'all are the best!

Welcome to Season 2 of the Change Troubleshooter – The Sustainability SeasonIn today’s episode, L. A,  A Green and Pleasant Land?’ We are in America, via Zoom, and Nina is joined in conversation by Yoel Aynalem, owner of Mekbib Media, a digital content production agency based in Los Angeles, California. Their goal is to help small businesses take back control of how they’re perceived by the public. Nina was keen to know how things were going in L.A in regard to local sustainability and climate action plans. There are programmes and initiatives in place, as there are in many towns and cities around the world, we read and hear about them every day. But do the real people on the ground even know they exist? Are they common knowledge? Nina researched sustainablitiy plans in L.A and asked Yoel if he was involved in these or even had any knowledgs of them at all. After all, for real change to take place, people need to be aware of initiatives happening on their doorsteps and feel they are something that they can be part of.

Recorded at a special live event in front of an audience at Waterstones Gower Street, the latest Hot Mess Clubhouse welcomes three incredibly talented writers, Daisy Buchanan, Ayisha Malik and Rosie Walsh. The three authors talk to host Lucy Vine about their most recent books – The Sisterhood, This Green and Pleasant Land, and The Man Who Didn’t Call – opening up about never feeling like a proper writer, the fun of killing off characters and crying over reviews. But don’t worry, they also manage plenty of nonsense, discussing farts, the art of laughing at yourself and how rich you have to be to shop at Waitrose. Music by Harry Harris.

A roundtable discussion consider future landscapes in the context of food, farming and conservation. People's Landscapes: Beyond the Green and Pleasant Land is a lecture series convened by the University of Oxford's National Trust Partnership, which brings together experts and commentators from a range of institutions, professions and academic disciplines to explore people's engagement with and impact upon land and landscape in the past, present and future. The National Trust cares for 248,000 hectares of open space across England, Wales and Northern Ireland; landscapes which hold the voices and heritage of millions of people and track the dramatic social changes that occurred across our nations' past. In the year when Manchester remembers the 200th anniversary of the Peterloo massacre, the National Trust's 2019 People’s Landscapes programme is drawing out the stories of the places where people joined to challenge the social order and where they demonstrated the power of a group of people standing together in a shared place. Throughout this year the National Trust is asking people to look again, to see beyond the green and pleasant land, and to find the radical histories that lie, often hidden, beneath their feet. At the fourth and final event in the series, Future Landscapes, panellists consider future landscapes in the context of food, farming and conservation, with panellists considering what we may want vs. what we will need from our landscapes in a post-Brexit Britain and beyond.

Gail, Hazel and host Philippa dig into the subject of garden writing with the journalist and social historian Ursula Buchan and Matt Collins, nature writer and Head Gardener at London’s Garden Museum. The conversation meanders convivially in the usual Slightly Foxed manner, via daredevil plant-hunters, early wild gardening advocates such as Gertrude Jekyll, William Robinson and Vita Sackville-West, and the passing passions and fashions of garden design, with a peek over the hedge at Christopher Lloyd’s Great Dixter along the way. And there’s the usual round-up of the latest bookish harvest from the Slightly Foxed office and plenty of recommendations for reading off the beaten track too.

We're off to South London this week to meet and chat to the fabulous Ayisha Malik! Ayisha worked in publishing before the publication of her first smash hit novel Sofia Khan is Not Obliged, described as 'the Muslim Bridget Jones'. She then produced a sequel The Other Half of Happiness and her new book, This Green and Pleasant Land has just been released to great acclaim. We talked to her about Rochester versus Darcy, religion in writing, childhood faves and terrible author behaviour.BOOKSDaisy Buchanan - The SisterhoodAyisha Malik - Sofia Khan is Not Obliged Ayisha Malik - This Green and Pleasant LandL.

A roundtable discussion exploring the ways in which writers, artists and musicians have both responded to and created conceptions of 'place' throughout history. Thursday 16th May 2019. People's Landscapes: Beyond the Green and Pleasant Land is a lecture series convened by the University of Oxford's National Trust Partnership, which brings together experts and commentators from a range of institutions, professions and academic disciplines to explore people’s engagement with and impact upon land and landscape in the past, present and future. The National Trust cares for 248,000 hectares of open space across England, Wales and Northern Ireland; landscapes which hold the voices and heritage of millions of people and track the dramatic social changes that occurred across our nations' past. In the year when Manchester remembers the 200th anniversary of the Peterloo massacre, the National Trust's 2019 People’s Landscapes programme is drawing out the stories of the places where people joined to challenge the social order and where they demonstrated the power of a group of people standing together in a shared place. Throughout this year the National Trust is asking people to look again, to see beyond the green and pleasant land, and to find the radical histories that lie, often hidden, beneath their feet. At the second event in the series, Creative Landscapes, panellists explore the ways in which writers, artists and musicians have both responded to and created conceptions of 'place' throughout history, considering the role of taste, nostalgia and imaginary spaces in our understanding of landscape today. Speakers: Alice Purkiss, National Trust Partnership Lead, University of Oxford (Welcome) Helen Antrobus, Contemporary Arts Programme Manager, National Trust (Introduction) Grace Davies, National Public Programme Curator, National Trust (Chair) Kate Stoddart, Independent Curator, Project Manager and Mentor Dr Rosemary Shirley, Senior Lecturer Art Theory and Practice, Manchester Metropolitan University Craig Oldham, Designer and Creative Consultant Professor Fiona Stafford, Professor of English Language and Literature, University of Oxford For more information about the People’s Landscapes Lecture Series and the National Trust Partnership at the University of Oxford please visit: www.torch.ox.ac.uk/national-trust-partnership

The first part (Episode 7.1) aired on 3/24/16.Talking about pushing boundaries.Chris messes with form a lot, specifically the point-crawl.Problem: "Where are these things in the hex?" Instead of "What's in the hex?" the point-crawl strips out the empty space and instead moves between interesting things. (Then Adam kind of missed the point and got corrected by Chris)Alex pushes boundaries in art.A common thread in this conversation (but that Adam doesn't realize until the end) is that better decisions, better innovations and better gaming happens when we are authentic and genuine to our own thoughts and experiences. Alex: "One of the things that I love about the OSR is that it's an aesthetic movement as much as a movement about mechanics." [Paraphrase]"Where is the innovation in the OSR?" was a trolly thread that circulated on G+ in the beginning of 2016. While the folks behind that thread claimed they asked their question in good faith, they promptly shut down many OSR innovators who contributed to the conversation.Adam: "The innovation & boundary pushing in the OSR isn't about the rules, it's about form, structure and content."Donn seems to experience a degree of dissonance when he exposes himself to too many rule sets.Alex: "Boundaries are pushed in the community at large as a hive mind."Adam: "It's as much incubation as innovation."Our favorite boundary-pushers:Alex - James Raggi & Lamentations of the Flame Princess lineChris - Hydra Coop stuff, especially Jason Sholtis's Operation Unfathomable, and Patrick Stewart & Scrap Princess's Broken Fire RegimeDonn - Zzarchov Kowalski's Scenic Dunnsmouth & Thulian EchoesAdam - Jason Lutes's Perilous Wilds, Zak S.'s Red & Pleasant Land and VornheimWho are we most excited about their next creation?Alex - Zzarchov KowalskiChris - Gus L.

With all the challenges facing Britain's Ecology and Environment, can we we still see the green and pleasant land?: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/a-green-and-pleasant-landThere are many environmental initiatives and legislation affecting the British countryside: protection of scenic and habitat areas, safeguards for particular species, restrictions on development, and animal welfare legislation. However, our countryside is still damaged by pressures that are reducing biodiversity, increasing flooding, damaging soil fertility and rendering our scenery less diverse.The reasons behind environmental deterioration will be examined as well as strategies to improve quality whilst feeding more people.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: http://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/a-green-and-pleasant-landGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website. There are currently over 1,800 lectures free to access or download from the website.Website: http://www.gresham.ac.ukTwitter: http://twitter.com/GreshamCollegeFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/greshamcollege

Deforestation in the Amazon fell by 18% last year, reversing a brief spike in tree loss that had alarmed environmentalists. With forest loss falling for most of the past ten years, is the battle for the Amazon finally being won? Presented by Chris Fitch. Report by Mark Rowe

Protests against art and culture occur every day across America. Conservatives object to artworks deemed blasphemous or obscene; liberals rally against depictions they see as racist or misogynist. But why do some parts of the United States see more such controversies than others? Why so many protests in Atlanta and so few in West Palm Beach? The US sociologist, Steven Tepper, talks to Laurie Taylor about his new book 'Not Here, Not Now, Not That..Protest over Art and Culture in America'. They're joined by Jo Glanville, the editor of Index on Censorship. Also, Dr Kip Jones from Bournemouth University discusses the challenges faced by older gay men and lesbians who live in rural areas of The South West of England and Wales. His paper, 'Gay and Pleasant Land?' uses first hand evidence to explore the attitudes of both older gay countryside dwellers and the communities they live in. Producer: Jayne Egerton.
