This Day in Legal History: Massachusetts Institutes Death Penalty for HeresyOn November 4, 1646, the Massachusetts General Court enacted a law that imposed the death penalty for heresy, requiring all members of the colony to affirm the Bible as the Word of God. This harsh mandate reflected the deeply religious nature of the Puritan colony, which viewed dissenting beliefs as a grave threat to its social and spiritual fabric. The law underscored the colony's commitment to a strict religious orthodoxy, where deviation from established doctrine was considered not just a sin but a serious civil offense. The Massachusetts Bay Colony was, at the time, a theocratic society in which religious and legal authorities were often intertwined, giving ministers and magistrates alike substantial power over both personal belief and public behavior.By criminalizing heresy with such severity, the General Court aimed to maintain religious uniformity and discourage the influx of non-conforming individuals or beliefs. This law was part of broader efforts to deter the spread of religious pluralism, especially from emerging groups like the Quakers, who would later challenge Puritan authority. The legislation also reveals the degree to which early American colonies experimented with extreme measures of social control, often in ways that would seem incompatible with later ideals of religious freedom. Though not widely enforced with executions, the law served as a powerful deterrent, shaping a culture of religious conformity and setting a precedent for laws that linked faith and governance. It highlights the tension in early colonial America between the desire for communal unity and the eventual American principles of individual religious liberty. This strict legal approach to heresy foreshadowed the eventual legal conflicts and philosophical shifts that would lead to religious freedom protections enshrined in the First Amendment.Ahead of the U.S. election, an intensifying legal dispute pits lawyers associated with former President Donald Trump against an advocacy group called the 65 Project, which seeks to hold attorneys accountable for pushing false election claims. Formed after Trump's 2020 election loss, the 65 Project has filed more than 80 ethics complaints against lawyers involved in Trump's legal efforts, aiming to deter future claims of election fraud. In response, Trump-aligned America First Legal (AFL) filed an ethics complaint against Michael Teter, the 65 Project's lead lawyer, accusing him of targeting attorneys simply for their client affiliations.The conflict underscores how lawyers are once again at the center of electoral controversies, with Trump suggesting he would contest any loss in the upcoming election. The 65 Project claims its goal is to prevent misuse of the legal system, while AFL counters that the group seeks to intimidate conservative lawyers. Meanwhile, the AFL has taken other legal actions, such as challenging voter registrations and election procedures in battleground states like Arizona and Pennsylvania. Although many of the 65 Project's complaints have led to disciplinary investigations, several cases have been dismissed, and some targeted attorneys remain active in election-related litigation for Trump allies. This legal clash highlights the growing stakes of election law as both sides brace for potential disputes over the upcoming presidential vote.Ahead of US election, lawyers fight over ethics breach accusations | ReutersA Pennsylvania judge is set to rule on whether to halt Elon Musk's $1 million-a-day giveaway to registered voters, just one day before the presidential election between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. Musk, who has recently endorsed Trump, has been awarding daily $1 million prizes to randomly selected voters in battleground states, including Pennsylvania, as part of a campaign promoting free speech and gun rights. The initiative, backed by Musk's America PAC, has been criticized as potentially violating state consumer protection laws and possibly federal election laws, as it resembles an illegal lottery.Philadelphia District Attorney Lawrence Krasner filed a lawsuit against Musk and America PAC, arguing that the program is unlawfully influencing voters and alleging that the winners may not be chosen entirely at random, citing two winners with ties to pro-Trump events. Musk's team attempted to move the case to federal court, asserting that it raises free speech and election interference issues, but a judge ruled that it would proceed in state court. The legal debate around the giveaway centers on whether it constitutes paying people to register to vote, which would violate federal law. The Department of Justice has reportedly cautioned America PAC about the program's legality, but has not formally intervened.Judge weighs challenge to Elon Musk's $1 million voter giveaway | ReutersThe U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear cases from Meta's Facebook and Nvidia, as both companies seek to block federal securities fraud lawsuits that could impact the power of private litigants to hold corporations accountable. Facebook faces allegations of misleading investors about the Cambridge Analytica data breach, with plaintiffs claiming Facebook failed to disclose the breach's materialized risk and instead framed it as hypothetical. Meanwhile, Nvidia is contesting claims that it misled investors about the portion of its sales driven by the volatile cryptocurrency market, allegedly downplaying crypto's influence on revenue growth. The Supreme Court's recent rulings favoring limits on federal regulatory power could make the justices receptive to Facebook and Nvidia's arguments. These cases follow a trend in which the Court has reined in federal agencies, like the SEC, potentially leaving gaps in enforcement that private securities lawsuits might fill. Proponents argue that private securities litigation is essential to holding companies accountable, especially as regulatory agencies face resource constraints. Legal experts suggest that if the Court sides with Facebook and Nvidia, it could limit the scope of private lawsuits in securities fraud cases, thereby shifting more accountability from private plaintiffs back to under-resourced public agencies.Facebook, Nvidia ask US Supreme Court to spare them from securities fraud suits | ReutersA Pennsylvania judge ordered the Erie County Board of Elections to provide ballots to as many as 17,000 voters who did not receive their requested mail-in ballots ahead of the November 5 election. The order came after the Democratic Party filed a lawsuit claiming that the county's failure to send out up to 20,000 requested ballots had caused significant delays, potentially infringing on voters' rights. Erie County is considered a crucial area in Pennsylvania, a key swing state with 19 electoral votes, where the presidential race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris remains extremely close.Judge David Ridge's ruling extended early voting in the county through November 4, allowing the election board to use overnight delivery services to expedite ballot distribution, especially for the 1,200 voters temporarily out of state. The court also addressed issues with duplicate ballots, allowing affected voters to cancel earlier submissions and cast new ballots if needed. The decision aims to rectify complications caused by a contractor's errors and ensure that eligible voters can participate.Judge orders Pennsylvania county to issue ballots for voters who did not receive them | ReutersAs you head to the polls tomorrow, I'm not here to tell you who to vote for. You have to decide that for yourself and, frankly, I can't imagine anyone would do much of anything on my say-so alone. Instead, I'd like to offer a few brief anecdotes from the past to think about. Immigration has been a central issue in this election cycle, with some arguing that immigrants pose a threat to our safety and economic stability. But before making up your mind, I'd encourage you to consider how these same debates have played out in history. Each time, we've faced similar fears and questions: Are immigrants helping or harming us? Are they a part of our communities or a threat to them? Let's take a look back at a few key moments when these questions came up and see if they offer any lessons for us today. In the full light of history, on which side would you like to imagine you would have come down on? What does that mean for your voting choice tomorrow?Chinese Exclusion Act (1882, United States) - Chinese immigrants were blamed for taking jobs from American workers, particularly on the West Coast, leading to the first federal law to restrict a specific immigrant group.Irish Immigrants and the Potato Famine (1840s, United States) - Irish immigrants fleeing famine were accused of increasing crime rates and straining public resources, leading to widespread anti-Irish sentiment and discrimination.Jewish Immigrants in Tsarist Russia (Late 1800s–Early 1900s) - Jewish communities were scapegoated for economic hardships and social unrest, culminating in violent pogroms and restrictive laws.Japanese Internment (World War II, United States) - Japanese-Americans were blamed for posing a national security threat, resulting in mass internment based on ethnicity, despite no evidence of disloyalty.Mexican Immigrants During the Great Depression (1930s, United States) - Mexican immigrants were accused of taking jobs from American citizens during economic hardship, leading to widespread deportations, including some American-born citizens.Indian Migrants in Uganda (1972) - Under Idi Amin, South Asian immigrants were blamed for controlling the economy at the expense of native Ugandans, resulting in the expulsion of 80,000 Indians and Pakistanis.German Immigrants in the United States (World War I) - German Americans were often targeted and accused of harboring pro-German sympathies, leading to discrimination and suppression of German culture.Italian Immigrants in the U.S. (Early 1900s) - Italians were often blamed for increased crime rates, particularly due to the association with organized crime, leading to discrimination and limited employment opportunities.Syrian and Lebanese Migrants in Latin America (20th Century) - In countries like Argentina and Brazil, Syrian and Lebanese immigrants were accused of taking jobs and resources, leading to restrictions and anti-Arab sentiment.These are just a few notable examples of past debates around immigration. As above and in conclusion, I challenge you to ask yourself where you'd like to imagine you would have come down in these debates – and vote accordingly.  This is a public episode.

MIGRANT VICTORY: 3/8: Plentiful Country: The Great Potato Famine and the Making of Irish New York Hardcover – March 12, 2024 by  Tyler Anbinder  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Plentiful-Country-Potato-Famine-Making/dp/031656480X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= In 1845, a fungus began to destroy Ireland's potato crop, triggering a famine that would kill one million Irish men, women, and children—and drive over one million more to flee for America. Ten years later, the United States had been transformed by this stupendous migration, nowhere more than New York: by 1855, roughly a third of all adults living in Manhattan were immigrants who had escaped the hunger in Ireland. These so-called “Famine Irish” were the forebears of four U.S. presidents (including Joe Biden) yet when they arrived in America they were consigned to the lowest-paying jobs and subjected to discrimination and ridicule by their new countrymen. Even today, the popular perception of these immigrants is one of destitution and despair. But when we let the Famine Irish narrate their own stories, they paint a far different picture. In this magisterial work of storytelling and scholarship, acclaimed historian Tyler Anbinder presents for the first time the Famine generation's individual and collective tales of struggle, perseverance, and triumph. Drawing on newly available records and a ten-year research initiative, Anbinder reclaims the narratives of the refugees who settled in New York City and helped reshape the entire nation.

Plentiful Country The Great Potato Famine and the Making of Irish New York by Tyler Anbinder

The Irish have been a race of people that have known their share of suffering.  Millions died during the An Gorta Mor, The Great Hunger or better known as the Potato Famine.  The uprising of 1916 resulted in the partition of Ireland, a bloody civil war and untold dead.  English politics and the result of having an island next to a world power ended up with Ireland oppressed and made to seem by their rulers, less than human.  That sentiment was brought to the United States and pushed by such people as Thomas Nast, who gave us the wholesome image of Santa Claus, but with the same pen also gave us African-Americans and Irish the shared image of subhuman apes. Enter Albert Balfour, who felt his suggestion to partition Ireland could work in other parts of the world.  Thus Palestine, taken by the British after WWI was thought to be partitioned to create "a Jewish Ulster" and so keep the hostile Arabs at bay.   The Jewish state came to fruition with the post WWII creation of Israel in 1948.  The idea of two states, one Israeli and the other Palestinian has been the holy grail of peace lovers ever since.   The recent events in Israel and Palestine, horrific and tragic, only serve to make it plainer to those who have been victims themselves of the utter uselessness that violence and pain will never give either side any satisfaction, let alone peace. Support the showWe are always grateful to have you listening to STRUNG OUT.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode, I discuss the centuries long toxic relationship between Ireland and England that led up to the devastation of the potato famine in 1845. During the 7 year period of "The Great Hunger," one million Irish people died and two million left Ireland. But while the blight that caused the potatoes to rot may be considered a natural disaster, there was nothing natural about the circumstances leading up to the famine and the choices made during it. Sources: Trinity College Dublin "Invasion of 1169"britishempire.co.uk "Ireland"History.com "After 168 Years, Potato Famine Mystery Solved" Digital History "The Irish Potato Famine"UK Parliament "The Great Famine"Mises Institute "What Caused the Irish Potato Famine?"History.com "When America Despised the Irish"Iowa State Historical Society "Irish Immigration: Beyond the Potato Famine"New York Times "Irish Return an Old Favor, Helping Native Americans Battling the Virus"Stuff You Missed in History Class podcast "An Unnatural Disaster"Support the show! Buy Me a CoffeeVenmo @Shea-LaFountaine

But not all that long ago, just such an incident occurred in a country then ruled by one of the foremost powers in the entire world.

In 1845 there was an event that would become known as the Potato Famine or The Great Hunger were many Irish people would go on to lose their lives. But what was the cause?

We learned about the Irish potato famine (fun!) and nostalgia. When you think of nostalgia do you think of it as sad or happy? 

As many as two million Irish people relocated to North America during the Great Hunger in the mid-19th Century. Even after the famine had ended, Irish families continued to send their teenaged and 20-something children to the United States to earn money to mail back to Ireland. In many immigrant groups, it was single men who immigrated to the US in search of work, but single Irish women, especially young women, came to the US in huge numbers. Between 1851 and 1910 the ratio of men to women arriving in New York from Ireland was roughly equal. Irish women often took jobs in domestic service, drawn by the provided housing, food, and clothing, which allowed them to send the bulk of their earnings back home to Ireland.   Joining me to discuss Irish immigrant women in the late 19th Century is Irish poet Vona Groarke, author of Hereafter: The Telling Life of Ellen O'Hara.

Welcome to March 26th, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate going green and Irish roots. The town of Crystal City, Texas survived the Great Depression thanks to an unlikely hero—Popeye the Sailor Man. In the 1930s, Popeye cartoons became very popular, which meant that kids everywhere saw him chomping away on his favorite snack—spinach. And, as luck would have it, Crystal City was a huge producer of spinach. Moms were thrilled that their kids wanted to eat the healthy food and business boomed as spinach was added to menus across the country. To this day, the town is known as the Spinach Capital of the World and they even have a Popeye statue erected outside city hall. On National Spinach Day, celebrate the veggie that still gives us our super strength. In the mid 1800s the Potato Famine in Ireland forced people to leave their country and many of them immigrated to the United States. The Irish had a tough go of it at first, but they managed to work their way into being respected members of the community. As a huge voting block they helped certain politicians get elected. By taking on jobs as police and firefighters, they were seen doing good deeds and the Irish became respected members of society. Since then we can count 22 American Presidents, authors, inventors, and entrepreneurs that can all claim Irish roots. During Irish American Heritage Month celebrate these indomitable folks who have added a tight knit to our cultural fabric. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode we interview Robbie McVeigh and Bill Rolston, authors of the book Anois ar theacht an tSamraidh: Ireland Colonialism and the Unfinished Revolution, a work that may be unparalleled in its analysis of the history of colonialism and modes of anti-imperialist struggle across Irish history.  It covers 800 years of history of colonialism in Ireland, and pays particular attention to the various colonial forms British Imperialism imposes upon the people of the island.  It also takes a deep dive into examining the contradictions of each of the Irish states that emerge from partition, an undemocratic and colonial imposition that the Irish people have yet to dismantle. Along the way the book also deals with important questions of race, gender and the position of Ireland in relation to the British Empire. At its core the book demonstrates that Ireland has not achieved decolonization even in the 26 counties in the South, but argues that self-determination for Irish people is within reach, perhaps closer now than it has been in a century. In our conversation we explore many of these topics as well as An Gorta Mór, the British starvation of Ireland often misnamed/misunderstood as the "Potato Famine." We talk about the unexpected possibilities and contradictions created by the UK's reactionary Brexit maneuvering. We talk about resonances between Ireland and other sites of settler colonialism, and discuss how racism and religious sectarianism are interwoven in the Irish context. We also ask Robbie & Bill about the legacy of Irish anti-imperial struggle, which is significant and innovative, but is also checkered by a history of figures who failed to demonstrate solidarity to other anti-colonial struggles and marginalized peoples. They also discuss the complexity of Irish involvement in colonial management, and racial regimes outside of the Irish context. We want to give a special shout-out to Liberated Texts (you can order volume 1 here) and Chris Beausang for the review which alerted us to the existence of this book.  And just note that you can order it directly from Ireland at Beyondthepalebooks.com. And if you're listening in North America I'll just add that the good people at leftwingbooks.net have ordered some copies so you should be able to order it there soon as well. One more note, Dhoruba Bin Wahad is mentioned in passing during the show. Dhoruba who has lived a life in struggle for Black Liberation is currently battling stage 4 cancer and has a gofundme to support his treatment and care. We have contributed and we encourage you to do the same. Lastly, if you like what we do and want to hear more conversations like this, please support us on patreon. Our listeners are our sole source of income for the show, and you can become a patron for $1 a month or whatever you can afford to contribute.

It'll make sense if you make it to the end. Of the podcast. What did you think I was referring to? Anyhow, we're talking about Susanna Clarke's "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norell." Yes, I left the period out of the Mr because that's how the Brits do it. If you're mad about it, take it up with the queen.

This podcast covers New Girl Season 2, Episode 11, Santa, which originally aired on December 11, 2012 and was written by Luvh Rakhe and directed by Craig Zisk. Here's a quick recap of the episode:When the loft realizes everyone is headed to celebrate the holidays separately, they try to maximize their time by attending multiple Christmas parties! At the parties, Jess gets a surprise visit from Sam, Winston deals with a cranberry stuck in his ear, Nick and Angie get to the next level, and Cece is trying to show Schmidt she's still his friend.We discuss Pop Culture References such as:Santa - Throughout the episode, the loft mates and their partners were talking about their experiences with Santa… and they even thought they saw him at the end of the episode! Additional Pop Culture References such as:Bah Humbug - Cece gave Schmidt a gift and his response was “Bah Humbug'' because he was upset. Bah Humbug is an exclamation that conveys curmudgeonly displeasure. It's most commonly known as a phrase used by the character “Ebenezer Scrooge” in A Christmas Carol who exclaims "Bah! Humbug!" as a retort to anything sentimental or overly festive.Chicago Bears - Nick is making fun of Winston for believing in Santa and Winston comes back saying Nick only eats mayo sandwiches on Chicago Bears' game days, which Nick does in a superstitious belief of thinking that makes them win. The Chicago Bears are a professional American football team based in Chicago. The franchise was founded in Decatur, Illinois, in 1920 and moved to Chicago in 1921.Boy Meets World - Schmidt commented that the DJ at his work Christmas party was really respected and also an actor on Boy Meets World. Boy Meets World is an American television sitcom that ran for seven seasons from 1993 to 2000 on ABC. The show chronicles the everyday events and life-lessons of Cory Matthews and his family and friends through Middle School, High School, and College. Taken / Liam Neeson - When Nick and Angie were hooking up in the sleigh at Schmidt's work party, he references the movie Taken and its main character, Liam Neesan. Taken follows ​​a retired CIA agent as he travels across Europe and relies on his old skills to save his kidnapped daughter while she was on a trip to Paris. William John Neeson is an actor from Northern Ireland known for well known movies like Kinsey, Schindler's List, The Grey, The A-Team, Taken, and Love Actually. Transporter Movies / Jason Statham  - Cece gave Schmidt a tungsten carbide metal bracelet and Schmidt commented it was “...what Statham wore in all the Transporter movies.” The Transporter is a 2002 action-thriller film that stars Jason Statham as Frank Martin, a driver for hire, AKA a "transporter", who will deliver anything, anywhere for the right price. There are six films in the Transporter franchise and one TV show. Jason Statham is also known for action movies like Crank, Furious 7, Spy, and The Meg. We also cover some of our favorite lines like Schmidt saying “bah humbug” to Cece and how he described Christmas as “White Anglo-Saxon Winter Privilege Night” as our “Schmidtisms” this episode. For our “not in the 2020s” we discussed how Schmidt mansplained lapdancing to Angie and wanting to hook up with a “fatty in an elf costume” as well as the continuation of Schmidt's approach to Cece's culture and Nick rationalizing Angie's job. In our “yes in the 2020s” we discussed the loft hiding Jess and later when she stood up for herself with Sam. We also give a brief look into Jeris Poindexter (Santa/cop), the Guest Star we feature in this episode.Also in this episode were the following guest stars who we do not discuss in the podcast: David Walton (Sam - discussed on S2E3), Olivia Munn (Angie - discussed on S2E10), Paul Grace (Security Guard), and Edward Hong (Male Night Nurse).Additionally in the podcast we mentioned how the cop who stopped the loft mates had a badge that said “Nicholas” on it and how Nick has many nightmare situations.While not discussed in the podcast, we noted other references in this episode including:Irish Good-bye - In this episode, the loft agrees that the only way to go to multiple holiday parties is by doing the Irish good-bye. This phrase indicates exiting a party or event without saying goodbye or giving advance notice, usually indicating an avoidance of displaying any emotion. While there isn't an exact source of this phrase, one possible historical source is when many Irish residents fled to America during the Potato Famine (1845-1852).EDM - When the loft arrives at Schmidt's friend's party, Jess asks if they're going to play computer music all night. Electronic Dance Music is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres made for clubs, raves, and festivals. It's generally produced by DJs by creating a mix of multiple tracks seamlessly moving from one to the other. The popularity grew globally in the 2000s and by the early 2010s the term “electronic dance music” was popularized to rebrand rave culture.North Pole - When the loft runs into who they think is Santa, they mention he should be at the North Pole. The North Pole is the point in the Northern hemisphere where the Earth's axis of rotation meets its surface but is not the Magnetic North Pole. This area is also known as the location of Santa Claus's workshop and where he lives. The Canada Post has even assigned it the postal code of H0H 0H0 referring to “ho ho ho!” which is one of Santa's traditional exclamations.This episode got a 9/10 Rating from Kritika whose favorite character was Winston and Kelly rated this episode a 9/10 and her favorite character was Jess!Thanks for listening and stay tuned for Episode 12!Music: "Hotshot” by scottholmesmusic.comFollow us on Twitter, Instagram or email us at whosthatgirlpod@gmail.com!Website: https://smallscreenchatter.com/

This weekend, Documentary on Newstalk airs the premiere of ‘The Bots’, in which IMRO-nominated producer Brian Gallagher looks at the lives of those who live, work, study, and relax in the vicinity of Ireland's National Botanic Gardens. The Bots will be broadcast on Newstalk 106-108fm on Sunday 30th August at 7am with a repeat broadcast on Saturday 5th September at 9 pm.  Using a lively mix of interviews, location recordings, sound effects and music, The Bots explores the stories behind one of Ireland’s most popular visitor attractions, The National Botanic Gardens. Director Matthew Jebb gives an overview of the role of the Botanic Gardens and explains how it hosts six hundred thousand visitors each year.  Matthew also tell of its research role, and how the blight that caused the Potato Famine of the Eighteen Forties was identified by the then director of the Gardens. Blathnaid Farrell, who grew up nearby, reminisces about the Gardens when she was a child, while librarian Alexandra Caccamo tells of a history going back much further, with some books in the library dating back to the sixteenth century. Matthew Jebb talks of the joys of living on site, and tells the story of the Director’s Residence, which predates the founding of the Gardens in 1795. Brendan Sayers gives an insight into the running of the glasshouses, and how tropical heat needs to be generated for some plant species. Glyn Anderson and Charlotte Salter Townsend talk about the guided tours they give, with Glyn reflecting on the refreshment options available to the modern-day visitor. Contributors and visitors reminisce lightly about their memories of the first thing they ever grew, while Ciaran Kavanagh and Alfreda O’Brien, who run the nearby Gravediggers pub, talk about the colourful associations between their premises and the Botanic Gardens. John Mulhern, Principal of the Teagasc College of Horticulture, discusses how hundreds of students study at their Glasnevin site within the Gardens, while Felicity Gaffney, the manager of the Visitor Centre, gives details of the surprising range of cultural and artistic events that are staged each year in the fifty-acre grounds. Matthew Jebb tell of the wildlife he’s encountered while living on site, and Colin Kelleher talks of his role as a taxonomist and the task of naming the vast numbers of specimens that have been catalogued in the Gardens. The programme concludes with contributors revealing what the Botanic Gardens means to them, and their hopes for its future. Quotes from THE BOTS: “The first place we made for was the glasshouse.  And when you went in the heat would just hit you.  In those days you wouldn’t have central heating at home – so that was super.”  Blathnaid Farrell, childhood visitor to the Botanic Gardens. “Our back garden is about an acre and it backs onto the Botanic Gardens and the cemetery.  The neighbours are basically the cemetery people and plants.” Ciaran Kavanagh, The Gravedigger Pub. “One of the real pleasures of the job is that I wake up at work each morning.” Matthew Jebb, Director, Botanic Gardens. “Our book collection extends back to the Fifteen Thirties.” Alexandra Caccamo, Librarian. “The pub, the cemetery, the Botanics, it’s like the Bermuda Triangle – you do disappear in that triangle in Glasnevin, and before you know it, four hours have passed.” Alfreda O'Brien, The Gravedigger Pub. “In the Herbarium there are about six hundred thousand dried specimens”.  Colin Kelleher, Taxonomist. “The world is changing quite a lot, and I think the big positive is that more and more people are paying attention to the natural world.” Charlotte Salter Townsend, tour guide. “It took 25 years to put it together.  There are 11 kilometres of glazing bars in this building, and it’s a work of art.”  Matthew Jebb, Director, Botanic Gardens. “I used to go into the hothouse - when I missed Italy.” Ciaran Kavanagh, The Gravedigger Pub.

Were you one of the millions of viewers who didn't give away their shot at watching the Hamilton premiere on Disney+ last weekend? Billed as "the ultimate immigrant success story," the blockbuster musical was penned by and starred a man who grew up in an immigrant community playing the only Founding Father not from America. Lin Manuel-Miranda told Oprah that, "As an immigrant, you work three times as hard and are promised maybe a fraction as much." This fact, not the choreographed chronicle of Alexander, more closely reflects the lived experience of Tim Leon-Getten and his "Spanish for Spanish Speakers" students.Most of Tim's ancestors settled in Minnesota from Ireland during the Potato Famine. His great-great-grandmother was the first European born along the shores of Lake Minnetonka. His other side of the family came from Sweden in the 1880's and his great-grandfather Carl Gustav wrote the fight song for the University of Minnesota, where Tim earned his graduate degree. Tim's path to teaching Spanish began when he loved learning as an exchange student in Chile and later Spain. Twenty-nine years later, we have the privilege of talking with him about immigration and his students at Open World Learning Community in Saint Paul, MN.

Life in Ireland was desperate in the mid nineteenth century. The Potato Famine of the 1840's brought about a decade of starvation and illness. More than one million Irish died and another million fled their homeland, emigrating to North America On the morning of October 22, 1851 the full masted ship British Queen, with 226 immigrants on board, departed Dublin, Ireland bound for New York. The voyage was to take four to five weeks, but winter struck early that year and, eight weeks later, in a blinding snowstorm, the British Queen was driven into the dangerous Muskeget Channel west of Nantucket. It was December 17th, 1851. Source: Stackpole, Edouard: "Life Saving Nantucket," Stern-Majestic Press; 1972. p. 102-110 Music and Narration: Performed, Produced and Edited by Evan Schwanfelder.

#Irishcuisine is the style of cooking that originated from Ireland, an island in the North Atlantic; or was developed by the Irish people. It has evolved from centuries of social and political change, and the mixing of the different cultures in Ireland, predominantly the English and Irish (and, in Ulster, the Scottish). The cuisine is founded upon the crops and animals farmed in its temperate climate and the abundance of fresh fish and seafood from the surrounding clean waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The development of Irish cuisine was altered greatly by the English conquest of the early 17th century, which introduced a new agro-alimentary system of intensive grain based agriculture. Large areas of land were turned over to cereal and a large portion of the population were confined to more marginal agricultural areas. The rise of a commercial market in grain and meat altered the diet of the native population by redirecting these products abroad as cash crops used to feed the British Empire's armed forces and cities.[1] Consequently, the potato, after its widespread adoption in the 18th century, became just about the only food the poor could afford (which was the vast majority of the population).[citation needed] By the 21st century, much of Irish cuisine was being revived.[citation needed] Representative traditional Irish dishes include Irish stew (made with lamb, mutton, or beef), bacon and cabbage (with potatoes), boxty ( #potato pancake), coddle (sausage, bacon, and potato), colcannon (mashed potato, kale or cabbage, and butter), and, in Ulster, the soda farl. Modern Irish Food still uses these traditional ingredients but they are now being cooked by chefs with world influences and are presented in a more modern artistic style.[2] Potato dishes A bowl of colcannon, an Irish potato and kale dish Boxty – a kind of potato pancake Champ – main ingredients: mashed potato, scallions, butter and milk Colcannon – main ingredients: mashed potato, kale or cabbage, and butter Shepherd's Pie/Cottage Pie – main ingredients: mashed potato, minced lamb/beef, and vegetables[178][179] Potato Famine In 1845, the Potato Famine (otherwise known as the Great Famine) began when many potato crops in Ireland had been infected with a mold called Potato Blight. This had turned their potatoes diseased and useless, putting many who are already in poverty into deeper poverty[citation needed]. The crop had failed due to potato blight in 1845-46, had little success in 1847, and failed once again in 1848. The starving Irish tried eating the potatoes, and would get extremely sick from eating them[citation needed]. Irish people began eating a diet of eggs, birds, and plants like nettles and chickweeds.[168] Many Farmers would bleed their cattle out and fry the blood, rather than eat their meat. If the cattle were as malnourished as the people, then the resulting meat wouldn't be fit for consumption, so they resorted to using the blood mixed with herbs, garlic, oats and butter, it could be used as good emergency meal.[169] The extremely desperate and malnourished ate rats and worms found off the street[citation needed].weki --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/vegansteven/message

God called Moses to leave the desert he was hiding in and command Pharaoh to free the Hebrew slaves, not all the slaves, just the ones defended from Jacob. God also hardens Pharaoh's heart, not to be confused with coronary artery disease, this just made sure that Pharaoh would be stubborn. To punish Pharaoh for his God caused obstinance God took it out on the Egyptian people with plagues they were: He turned all of the water into bloodFrogsLiceWild animals, probably of a venomous varietyDiseases for the livestockBoilsHail stormLocustThree days of darknessDeath if the firstborn humans and livestock The frogs and lice seem strange and really just annoying, but the rest of these are really serious. Contaminated water would make everyone sick. An invasion of venomous creatures could injure or kill everyone. Diseased livestock will reduce productivity in the case of horses and oxen, cut into food supply, and if the disease crosses to humans it could kill everyone. Boils are painful and can get infected. Hail and locust will destroy crops. Prolonged darkness is evidence of volcanic activity and could threaten crops. I think venomous creatures and dead babies obvious, but any if these plagues could cause the collapse of a civilization. More recent examples are the bubonic plague killing ⅓ of Europe's pollution, the diseases brought to the new world killing 90% of the population of the indigenous peoples of the Americas, the Potato Famine, and pioneer stories of locusts blacking out the sky and striping fields bare. NEWS Mecca's Grand Mosque under attack by locusts The holiest site in Islam is being plagued by swarms of locusts, an estimated 30,000 black grasshoppers to be precise. I predict that Christian's will call this God's judgement on Islam, Iran will call it God's judgement on Saudi Arabia, and Sunni Muslims it call it insect migration. Rahaf al-Qunun has made it to Canada Rahaf al-Qunun is the 18 year old daughter of a Saudi Arabian government official and while visiting Kuwait with family she escaped hoping on a plane to Australia with a stop in Bangkok. The reason for the escape was that she wanted to be free to work and study as she wants, which is not possible in Saudi Arabia since her father would be her guardian until she gets married. She's endured physical and emotional abuse from her parents, including being locked in her room for six months because she cut her hair. And she has renounced Islam which is punishable by death. When she reached Bangkok a Saudi diplomat met her at the gate and took her passport which then left her stuck in the international terminal of an airport without any papers. The Thai authorities wanted to send her back to her family, but she was able to barricade herself in a hotel room. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees became aware of the situation because of her pleas for help on Twitter. In the end she was granted asylum in Canada by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and was greeted at the Toronto airport by Chrystia Freeland, the Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister. China passes law to make Islam 'compatible with socialism'  We've been tracking for several months now China's actions against the county's Uighur Muslims.

Jenny: But now, here's Kristan.  Hello there Kristan,  and welcome to the show, it's great to have you with us. Kristan: Thank you so much for having me Jenny! Jenny: Beginning at the beginning - was there a “Once Upon A Time moment when you decided you wanted to write fiction?  And if there was a catalyst, what was it? Romance author Kristan Higgins Kristan: You know, there wasn't a moment  like that. I wish there were, because it sounds great being knocked on your side wanting to do something. I really wanted to be paediatrician, and I still think that would be great except I have no aptitude for maths or science. I never thought about being an author until I was 36, and my son was three years old at nursery school. The day was approaching where he would be at school all day. I thought- I've got a couple of years before that happens, and I really would love to stay home with the kids, and be the person to get them off the school bus, and be around for other events and everything because I had been a stay at home mum until that point. My husband was working two jobs, so I knew that it wouldn't really be fair for the kids to go off to school and for me to be alone for 8 hours and not contribute to the family finances. So I thought, ok; I can bartend, or maybe I could write a book! I loved reading; if anything knocked me on the side of the head with a baseball bat, it was the love of reading from an early age. I learnt to read when I was four, and books made up a huge part of my life. So I felt qualified in one respect, in that I had just read thousands of romance novels. And I thought: I think I can write one, I think I can understand them well enough to write one. And why not? I had worked in advertising, so I had been a professional writer. I actually had advantages there, and I sat down to give that a try. Fools Rush In - Kristan Higgins Jenny: Your first novel was Fools Rush In, a contemporary romance, published in 2007. Was romance a natural genre for you – and was “Fools” the first ms you ever finished? Kristan: Well, it was. I had started another manuscript which is now sort of a joke to me; it was a historical romance set in Ireland during the Potato Famine. So if you're familiar with my books, you'd think "it was what Kristan?!" So I started to write that book, and for some reason I thought it was a really good idea and then I went to a writer's conference and  I realised I had no knowledge of this era. I was just kind of making things up as I went along. It was really depressing, as you can imagine, stuck in the Potato Famine. So I thought, what I should really write is a romantic comedy set in contemporary time, set in a small town because that's what I loved to read. That's where I lived- I lived in a small town, so then I thought I'd be writing about what I knew. So Fools Rush In started at that conference, and finished about six months later in terms of the first draft.

The Irish are known for being lucky… But does that luck hold out when it comes to celiac disease? The prevalence of celiac disease among the Iris is 1:100, about the same as the rest of the world. And if you are a redhead of Irish descent, there is a good chance that you are an HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8 gene carrier. Today, the Gluten Free RN explores Irish ancestry and celiac disease, discussing how the Potato Famine led to a change in diet for much of the surviving population. She walks us through a paper published by Irish College of General Practitioners explaining the clinical presentations and complications of celiac disease. Nadine shares her experience running the Dublin marathon and the health consequences she suffered after touring the Guinness brewery. Listen in to understand the work of the Coeliac Society of Ireland and learn about the trends in celiac disease among the Irish.

In this week's episode, Storm whistle inventor Dr. Wright discusses the causes of the Irish Potato Famine of the 1840s-50s.This episode's a bit of a downer as well. Let's all agree never to be as cold-hearted as the people who were EXPORTING FOOD from Ireland during the Famine.
