Under the agreement, Swan Hellenic commits to provide its fleet for use as “ships of opportunity”, enabling the foundations' scientists to gauge the health of our Blue Planet in its most remote and pristine regions, including Arctic, Antarctica and Africa coasts, where the Swan Hellenic fleet is, of course present for several months every year.In late 2021, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU mandated the Commission to accelerate Ocean and Water health conservation and restoration worldwide. The resulting EU Mission is a coordinated effort to pool the necessary financial, scientific and operational resources.The three organisations were among the first in the world to endorse the Mission Charter, which aims to create a sustainable, carbon-neutral, circular blue economy that plays a key role in achieving climate neutrality, since the oceans are major carbon sinks, protect biodiversity and foster economic prosperity, being expected to generate €2.5 trillion per year by 2030. The Mission 2030 targets include a 30% reduction in marine microplastics and the deployment of EU carbon neutral, circular blue economy communities.Costa partners with bioLNG powered truck to supply Costa Firenze in northern Europe Costa Cruises has signed an agreement with LC3 Trasporti to start using bio-LNG-powered trucks to transport supplies needed by its cruise ships.The collaboration between the two Italian companies will officially begin on May 19, when the Costa Firenze ship will call for the first time in the port of Kiel, Germany, from where she will depart weekly until mid-September to offer seven-day cruises to the Norwegian fjords.The supply of goods needed by the ship, such as some types of food, beverages, and technical supplies, will be transported from Costa Cruises' warehouses in Genoa to Kiel using LC3 Transport trucks powered by bio-LNG, the liquefied biomethane obtained by refining waste from the livestock industry.The use of this alternative fuel for the road transport of goods will cut CO2 emissions by almost 90 percent, and particulate emissions by almost 100 percent as compared to a conventional Euro VI diesel vehicle.Holland America Line's First Grand World Voyage Since 2020 Successfully Concludes after 128 Days, 57 Port Visits and 34,651 Nautical MilesHolland America Line's 2023 Grand World Voyage concluded today at Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, 128 days after it departed from the port Jan. 3, 2023.

The World Economic Forum and United Nations are so concerned that the goals of Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development and the Great Reset (aka technocracy under a one-world beast system) are in jeopardy of not being fulfilled by the appointed date, that they have called for a summit in September to discuss how they can kickstart their stalled totalitarian agenda. The coronation of King Charles III is pivotal to the successful implementation of Agenda 2030 as you will soon see. On this episode of the NTEB Prophecy News Podcast, Saturday May 6th, that's tomorrow, is going to be a big day in England, no, make that a huge day in England as they conduct the coronation of King Charles III. It will be the first king to sit on the throne in over 70 years. God has uniquely blessed and used the nation of England, consider the following. The global standard of absolute temperature is the BTU, the British Thermal Unit. The global standard for location is the longitude and latitude of the Prime Meridian, located in Greenwich, England. The global standard of absolute time is GMT, or Greenwich Mean Time, located in Greenwich, England. Now get this. The global standard of absolute truth is the King James Bible, translated under the authority of a king, sitting on the throne, in England. Do you see how God has so greatly blessed and used the nation of England? England is also the nation that betrayed the Jews after WWI, promising them a homeland in Israel and then siding with the Muslims instead. What does all this have to do with the coronation of King Charles III in England tomorrow, and the implementation of the UN Globalist Agenda For Sustainable Development? Plenty! On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we show you how King Charles is being used to bring about the fulfillment of end times prophecy related to the end times and the coming kingdom of Antichrist.

Following the furious writing campaign, Maria Mitchell is finally awarded the Gold Medal from the King of Denmark for discovering a comet. Now with the help of President Edward Everett of Harvard College and Alexander Dallas Bache of the US Coast Survey, the whole world is about to learn Maria's name. In this episode, Jascin and Jim discuss what doors the comet discovery opens for Maria and the people she would meet along the way. Credits:This has been a production of the Nantucket Atheneum. Written, edited and narrated by Janet Forest Special thanks to the Atheneum's Reference Library Associate Jim Borzilleri and Historian and Deputy Director of the Maria Mitchell Association Jascin Leonardo Finger for their research and insights.Resources and additional information:• Maria Mitchell traveled to Europe twice. First in 1857 and again in 1873. She remained in contact through letters with the people she met even if she never saw them in person again.• When the Nautical Almanac was proposed, Alexander Dallas Bache, Charles Henry Davis, and their colleagues wanted to use an American Prime Meridian in the calculations, but once again ran into resistance against a “National Observatory”. The issue was escalated to Congress, and the House Committee on Naval Affairs, and the “compromise” was that Washington D.C. would be used as the Prime Meridian for astronomy and geography, while Greenwich (The Royal Observatory) was used as the Prime Meridian for navigation. • To learn more about the Marvelous Miss Harriet Martineau (the original influencer!), check out Season 2, Episode 6. • Find more about Harriet Hosmer and her work here:https://nmwa.org/art/artists/harriet-goodhue-hosmer/https://americanart.si.edu/artist/harriet-hosmer-2314 The Nantucket Atheneum is located at 1 India Street in Nantucket, MA.You can visit us online at www.nantucketatheneum.org

And finally, my podcast about London that I've been promising for ... quite some time. London of course is one of the world's biggest and most visited cities, so why am I talking about it? Well, here I'm going Beyond The Monopoly Board to bring you thoughts and information from places you might not have heard of, with help from some of the people who live there. This is as much a learning curve for you listening as it has been for me making – there's quite a few of these boroughs I've not been to yet. When I was writing it, I quickly realised there was so much to say about them, and, you know, because there were so many of them, that I figured I'd have to split the subject over two episodes. This episode, the shorter of the two, is on those boroughs South Of The River, and as it turns out I talk about them all at least briefly, except Lambeth. Sorry Lambeth, but you're just too touristy (ymmv on Southwark though). Topics discussed include: * Brief overview of my socialising life * A farewell to Laura * Why London? * Bexley - Big Houses, Guns, and Piers * Greenwich - The River, The Prime Meridian, and a special McDonalds * Bromley - Underground, Overground, but Womble-Free * Lewisham - Cats, Stuffed Cats, and a 2000 year stone circle * Southwark - Scandinavian saunas in unlikely places, Sitcoms, and more things under the ground * Croydon - A palace (destroyed), an airport (closed), and some dinosaurs (inaccurate) * Sutton - Street Art in Middle England * Merton - Allah says recycle * Wandsworth - Take the train back to 1970s pop culture * Kingston - Old Kings, Fake telephone boxes, and a surprising amount of hipsters * Richmond - Parklife.

Foundations of Amateur Radio

Foundations of Amateur Radio Right now it's 10:45. That piece of information is unhelpful without any context. I could just as easily have told you that it's 2:45 and it would be just as accurate, helpful and meaningless. The point being that without context, you don't know if I'm an insomniac, drinking morning tea, recovering from a late lunch or putting on my PJs. If I'm talking to people in the same room, supplying the time happens within the context of that room, but if the world is our oyster, our room is a little larger and dawn for one person is dusk for another, at the same time. Before we could communicate at the speed of light and travel faster than a bullet, time was a relative thing related to the location of the Sun and considered mainly by mariners and astronomers. Even with the advent of increasingly accurate clocks, for most people, noon was when the Sun was at its highest point and the local clock was set to that. When our world got smaller, because communication and travel got faster, people started noticing that noon in one place wasn't the same as noon in another place. It became a real problem when people travelled hundreds of kilometres by train in a day. Imagine coming up with a train time-table that takes into account each local version of noon. In an attempt to deal with this, railroad managers in the United States established 100 railroad time zones. This malarkey continued until the 18th of November 1883 when four standard time zones were established for the continental United States. Of course, being human and all, that was a local solution. Great Britain had already established its own standards for time for England, Scotland and Wales. In October 1884, the International Meridian Conference, held in Washington DC, adopted a proposal that designated the Prime Meridian for longitude and timekeeping should be the one that passes through the centre of the transit instrument at the Greenwich Observatory in the United Kingdom and established Greenwich Mean Time, or GMT as the world's time standard. Why Greenwich? At the time the United Kingdom had more ships and shipping using Greenwich as their reference than the rest of the world put together and the observatory at Greenwich had produced the highest quality data for a long time. As an aside, on a French map before 1911, 0 degrees was centred over Paris. There are other wrinkles, like the fact that Earth isn't round and as a result the Greenwich Prime Meridian is not quite in the right spot because measurements didn't take into account local variations in gravity. In 1972, Coordinated Universal Time, or UTC replaced GMT as the standard for time in the world. It now references the International Reference Meridian, currently about a 102.5m east of the original Prime Meridian passing through Greenwich. It's on the move with reference to land because tectonic plates shift and where it is today is not where it's going to be tomorrow, so don't go looking for a marker to indicate the IRM. Meanwhile in the rest of the world people needed to come to terms with how to standardise on what to call time zones. The USA establishing four time zones was just for one country. Depending on who's counting, there's over 200 countries and each has its own set of time zones. Which each might include daylight saving, or not. For some, like VK6, daylight saving was voted on several times. Trials were had and time changes during summer were implemented, then reversed, then reversed again, and again, in total, VK6 did this dance six times and we currently don't observe daylight saving, neither does VK4 or VK8. So, not only does 10:45 require location context, it also requires that you know if there's daylight saving happening at that time in that location, which to add insult to injury, doesn't actually happen on the same date each year. It gets better if you consider time in another location. Do they have daylight saving, is it on at the time, do we have daylight saving at that time, how many hours are we apart, when is this actual event and what if we're coordinating efforts between people in multiple locations? Did I mention that summer in Europe is in July and in Australia it's in January? In case you're wondering, tracking all this is a massive job currently under the purview of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. The person coordinating this, whilst wrangling the politics of naming things, including dealing with warring countries who take umbrage at having their time zone named after "the enemy" is computer scientist Paul Eggert, the project lead of the time zone database. War aside, time zones are political. For example, Dublin Time was stamped out by the British as punishment for the Easter Rising. If that wasn't exciting enough, to provide local context, we use abbreviations to indicate which location we're talking about. In VK6 that abbreviation is WST, simple enough, Western Standard Time. What if your abbreviation was CST? Is that Central Standard Time in North America, China Standard Time, Cuba Standard Time, or even Australian Central Standard Time. If your local time zone is IST, you could be referring to Indian Standard Time, Israel Standard time, Irish Standard Time or even Irish Summer Time. As radio amateurs we hold global contests and we advertise our online club meetings and events. Often, we refer to times and dates that might be understood by an audience of one, but utterly confusing to the rest of the world. So, what do you do with this? Simple, use UTC. My timezone, called WST, or AWST, is UTC+8. F-troop, a weekly net for new and returning amateurs runs every Saturday morning at midnight UTC, that's 0:00 UTC. No confusion, no daylight saving, everyone can figure out if it's worth being awake for and I must applaud the amateurs from G-land and PA with their contributions in the very, very early hours of their morning. So, next time you make some noise about a contest, or any amateur activity that goes beyond the people in your suburb, specify the time in UTC. Who knows, perhaps one day, even the likes of SpaceX, Apple and Google will start using UTC to announce their events ... As Goldie Hawn put it: "Well, in my time zone that's all the time I have, but maybe in your time zone I haven't finished yet. So stay tuned!" I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For. I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you at the heart of mystery, murder, and mayhem. Some episodes will be my own stories, others will be classics that helped shape the mystery genre we know today. These are arrangements, which means instead of word-for-word readings, you get a performance meant to be heard. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes. This is Season 2. This season contains adaptations of stories published in the 1800s. These stories are some of the first considered to be mysteries. For that reason, this season is called The Originators. Today's story is about knowing one's self. This is the Episode 10 Blind, an adaptation of The Mysterious Card by Cleveland Moffett. Tina: The story today is set in New York, although the location is not critical to the tale. It is merely where the characters lived – any city could be substituted without changing the story. Published in 1895, this story is told in real time, meaning it wasn't set in the past or the future. Our author gave us more of a location than most. We know New York and there is a reference to 23rd Street and Broadway. A major incident happens on Water Street. There first reference puts us in Manhattan, but seeing as we have already been there this season, I'm dropping our pin on Water Street, Brooklyn, all but under the Brooklyn Bridge. I choose the address of 55 Water Street, which is the restaurant Cecconi's. It must be fantastic since it has a 4.3 rating with almost 1,400 reviews. It is just over 7 1/2hrs to the Royal Observatory, home of the Prime Meridian in Greenwich in London. We were in Manhattan in Episode 7 this season with an 1880 mystery of a missing seamstress and a family secret. This story really was about the mystery. The timing and setting are virtually irrelevant, which gives me nothing to talk about here. So, let's move on to reviews. There are a few different versions on Goodreads. The Mysterious Card had 57 ratings with an average of 3.44. The only 5-star review I found: Couldn't put it down! My heart is racing!! I need to know what it means!! Here's a 3-star review: Interesting plot. However, the intriguing story turned into an unbelievable/unrealistic one by the end. Although the author tried to give an explanation in the second part of the book (the sequel), it became apparent that there was no way to explain the illogical plot of the first part. Another 3-star review: Two short stories. "The Mysterious card" sets up a situation- a man has a card in an unreadable language- but everyone he shows it to suddenly wants nothing more to do with him. A neat bit of tension building with a cliff handing conclusion. Unfortunately, the sequel offers a solution so couched in pseudo-mystic babble that it destroys all the entertainment value of the original tale. Jack: Our author Cleveland Moffett was the son of Reverend William Henry Moffett and Mary Jane Cleveland. If my parents named me that way (edited on the fly by Jack). Cleveland wasn't born in Cleveland but I was. He was born in Boonville, NY in April 27, 1863. While he was being born, the civil war was waging. The battle of Chancellorsville began April 30. This was in Spotsylvania County, Virginia, which is an awesome name for a county. The famous Lt. Gen Stonewall Jackson was wounded in this battle by friendly fire and he died a week later. This has nothing to do with Cleveland Moffett except the overlap with his birthday. Moffett went to Yale College, then joined the New York Herald Newspaper in 1887. His first 5 years were spent in Europe and Asia, working as a writer and interviewer. He eventually transitioned to editorial work. He must have been fluent in French because he translated a few books to English. He also wrote stories for magazines and gave lectures. Somewhere in all of... Support this podcast

These stories are some of the first considered to be mysteries. For that reason, this season is called The Originators. Today’s story is about blackmail, a spoiled child, and bats in the belfry. This is the Episode 10 Craven’s Tale, an adaptation of The Murder at Troyte’s Hill by Catherine Louisa Pirkis. Tina: The story today is set in Cumberland, England, which was a county on the southwestern border of Scotland. In 1974, there was a bit of clean up and a new county, Cumbria, was formed encompassing Cumberland, West Moreland and parts of Yorkshire and Lancashire. It’s always fascinating where the real places in fictional stories don’t exist anymore. We know our fictional village is located not far off a rail line, is in the former Cumberland county, and, well that’s it. That gives us quite a bit of latitude picking a real place to stand in for our fictional place. Let’s drop the pin today on Heads Nook, England. Heads Nook is a village outside the city of Carlisle. A search on Trip Advisor found Heads Nook Hall, a B&B that must be a real treat. 366 review and 342 Excellent ratings, which is over 93%. Looking at the pictures, I’m ready to pack my bags, Jack. Heads Nook is a 6 hour drive from the Royal Conservancy, where the Prime Meridian is set and is 3 hours from Ravescar, which is where we dropped the pin for our last English mystery in Episode 5 Sergeant Cuff and the Moonstone Diamond. This episode’s story was a short story in a collection called The Experiences of Loveday Brooke, Lady Detective. The collection has 151 ratings on Goodreads with an average score of 3.54. Here’s a 4-star review: Miss Brooke’s cases range from theft to missing persons to murder. They are interesting and illustrate the views of women’s proper activities and places in the society of the day. Loveday works for a private detective agency, and her employer is the person who is most astounded by her clever unraveling if the clues in her cases. Unlike Holmes she doesn’t have a sidekick who assists her, no Watson for her. The stories are a nice afternoon entertainment!! Here’s a 3-star review: I probably enjoyed this a bit more than 3 stars worth. An interesting short collection of seven loosely linked mystery stories, nearly all of which don't involve murders, so in that sense they are pleasant. Pirkis's formula seems to be that we follow the protagonist, watch what happens as she solves the mystery in a kind of mysterious manner, and then we get her detailed account of how she did it, or what was behind it... Probably the stories and protagonist were more remarkable for their time than nowadays, but they hold up well and the book is quite worth reading. And it's short. I’ll save my own thoughts for after. Jack: Our original author today is Catherine Louisa Pirkis, who published as C.L. Pirkis and Mrs. Fred E. Pirkis. She was born in 1839 to middle-class parents. Her father was an accountant and according to Victorian Research.org, her father’s obituary said he died from “consequences of excessive exertion of the brain.” So, there’s that. Catherine’s husband, Fred, was a captain for the English Royal Navy. Fred’s brother married Catherine’s sister, which is just confusing. And weird. The families lived together, which I...

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For. Mysteries to Die For is brought to you by Down & Out Books. This episode’s featured release is State of Shock by M. Todd Henderson. When Jante Turner is murdered just days before she takes the mantle as new dean of Rockefeller University Law School in Chicago, Royce Johnson is approached to help solve the murder. Recently released from prison, the ex-FBI agent has his own problems. Still, he takes the job. Soon, Johnson finds himself at the intersection of higher education, Chicago politics, big money, and murder. Johnson traces a river of corruption running from deep-pocket donors of the University to North Side developers and a South Side alderman who is heir to the throne in City Hall. In his desperation, he turns to the one lawyer who can help him—the former Rockefeller student whom Johnson mistakenly framed for murder on his last case.

These stories are some of the first considered to be mysteries. For that reason, this season is called The Originators. Today’s story is about the costs of greed, arrogance, and pride. This is T. Sawyer, Esquire, an abridged telling of Tom Sawyer, Detective. Tina: This short story takes place shortly after Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn free their friend Jim from Tom’s Aunt & Uncle’s farm in Arkansas. Since that told me nothing about the setting for the story, went new school and googled “what was the setting for Huckleberry Finn”. The answer as far as date was “40-50 years ago”. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was published in 1884, making the setting 1830-1840s. Tom Sawyer, Detective was published in 1896. Location was harder. Tom and Huck live in the fictional town of St. Petersburg, MO, which is said to be really Hannibal, Missouri where Twain lived. In Huck Finn, Huck and Jim sail down down the Mississippi from the St. Petersburg to Arkansas. Huck and Jim disembark near the Missouri-Tennessee-Arkansas boarder. Based on this, I picked Osceola, Arkansas as our pin on the map. Zip code 72370. Osceola was founded in 1837 and incorporated in 1853, growing with steamboat traffic. Travel time from the Royal Observatory, home to the Prime Meridian, is about 15, flying from Heathrow to Memphis, and then driving the hour north to Osceola. Osceola is only a 90 min drive from Senatobia, Mississippi, our pin for the 2nd story in this season. Jack and I are up here in Northeast Indiana. When I hear Missouri, I think south, like southern. So it blew my geographically challenged mind that Hannibal is no father south that Indianapolis, I city I travel to frequently AND its hours north of Evansville, Indiana, which is an incredibly cool town on the Ohio River. Jack, we need a road trip so I can get my mapping straight. Personally, I was surprised at the rating on Goodreads. With over 2,000 ratings, the average is 3.56. Vastly underrating it IMO. 30% rated it a 4 and 35% a 3. One 3-star reviewer wrote: I can see why this wasn't as successful as the first two books in the series. It took me a little while to get into it, I was a bit ho hum in the beginning. But I enjoyed it more as a went along. You have to stretch your mind a little to accept the plot....

The world is buzzing with conspiracy theories. Some of them plausible, others just plain whacky. Millions believe in them, including the President of the United States. We’ve uncovered a new one which suggests that everything we know about clock time and the calendar we live by is designed to control us. And it involves members of the 18th century ‘deep state’, and the setting of the Prime Meridian in Greenwich, London in 1884 – presided over by President Chester A, Arthur (who only assumed office after his predecessor was assassinated). And… maybe even Q! Sound mad? It might or might not be. It’s amusing either way. Oh, and our podcast host mysteriously disappeared after the recording!

Source video for conversation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chYBpaY5tl0 Andreas Xirtus is one of my favorite Youtube Researchers and Content Creators. His areas of interest are far ranging and always very interesting to say the least. With a strong focus on the mysteries of The Old World and the purported to be “Lost” Civilization of Grand Tartaria, he spends a lot of time on questions I often grapple with in my research for the podcast. Andreas’ videos shine through his analysis of things like Popular Culture, particularly visual media like TV, Film, and animation in particular- through a lens of Tartarian Discernment, and frequently have me and many members of his audience scratching our heads and wondering where this affinity for finding and elucidating coded information comes from in a man so relatively young. Recently Andreas re-uploaded an older video of his to a backup youtube channel, and as the notification came through I decided it was a good time to go back and watch this material again, as a review. The video was titled 001 History Revised Xirtus Tartaria Documentary, and I recalled it to have been a nice overview of most of the salient points that constitute the Tartarian Civilization Puzzle. As I sat there enjoying the material all over again, I quickly realized that I wanted to use this video and it’s story as the basis for a conversation with Andreas, where I could ask him to expand on a few of the things in the video itself. What follows will be a recording of this conversation. Andreas and I have been connected online for about a year now, and chat frequently in his Brain Trust of sorts- the Xirtus Tartary Discord server- where much lively debate takes place among it’s hundreds of members daily, but I thought it was high time we had him on here on Baked and Awake for an expansive conversation about all things Tartarian. Maybe I’ll even let Andreas tell us about some other things he finds fascinating- but NOT until we get to the bottom of this Tartary thing first! For those of you for whom this topic is completely new- fear not, because we are about to take you through enough of the high points in the story to either satisfy, or pique your interest to the point that you’ll want to investigate further. If the latter is the case, I humbly suggest that you look into my back catalog for episodes about Grand Tartaria, The Mud Flood, and The General Crisis of the Seventeenth Century, for starters. The Video opens by showing an association between North American Natives (American Indians) and the Southern Confederacy. Next, as a dash of cold water in the face, you ask the viewer to suspend their own beliefs and biases for the duration of the presentation. (I appreciate this) Lies are Obscured truth: Symbols and words that appear to be pejorative or negative but are in fact Positive- Primitive, Primal, Primordial, Prime Meridian, Prime Radical, Prime The Magna Carta (What’s the Columbus Cylinder?)- Signed under duress, therefore an invalid contract. Did History record this story incorrectly? Perhaps even backwards? A nod to Gnostic Occult Practices in the form of a reference to Kaneh Bosom or the Holy Oil Christ would have been Anointed with. The Viking - Scythian Connection- Who taught who what exactly? Was this relationship equitable for both sides? Scott Onstott: Secrets in Plain Sight? Propellor symbol rehabilitation aside for just a moment- can you expand upon the relationship between Propellers and Star Fortifications aka Bastion Forts? Are you indicating here that ancient civilizations had the power of flight? And if so, was this form of air transportation traditional in the sense that an ICE powered a propellor that pulled or pushed a vehicle through the atmosphere? If so- how does that fit with your own separate musings on, as you referred to it- Solid State Flight tech? For the sake of conversation I’ll note here that we could be referring to Balloons, Zeppelins, Blimps, and more unusual storybook vehicles such as flying broomsticks or magic carpets? Is the propeller symbol perhaps a Portal? Origins of Nations Model: The Trapezoid Scheme- What a great mental picture this draws! Let’s talk about how this has played out in history a little. Conformational Bias aka “Trust Me I’m an Engineer” syndrome. Joseph Smith, The Latter Day Saints, and the American West. The Irish Potato Famine- Monocrop disaster or engineered extermination? Who really won The American Civil War? (History is written by the Victors) The 13th Amendment.

Welcome to the Intralingo SPOTLIGHT series, shining a light on authors and translators from around the globe.Silvia Moreno-Garcia is a Mexican-Canadian author of six critically-acclaimed novels. We spoke about her most recent release, Untamed Shore. It is an artful, nuanced, suspenseful crime novel with a cinematic feel.Our conversation meandered into a discussion about diversity – or the lack thereof – in publishing. Silvia shared her own personal challenges in getting even this novel published, and offered insight into the larger systemic issues that result in the same old stories being told.I wanted to know what we could do as readers, how we could make our appetite for diversity known. Silvia put the power square in our hands and offered a number of ways we can contribute."One important thing readers can do is request books that they think might diversify the collection in their library. If it's not in the collection, nobody can read it."Silvia encouraged us to actively look in the stacks for something unexpected, to find hidden literary gems, and share what we find with others. I couldn't agree more.**Silvia Moreno-Garcia is the author of the novels Signal to Noise, Certain Dark Things, The Beautiful Ones; and the science fiction novella Prime Meridian. She has also edited several anthologies, including the World Fantasy Award-winning She Walks in Shadows (a.k.a. Cthulhu's Daughters). Gods of Jade and Shadow is her latest fantasy novel.

And on the other is the land of the living. On one side is the graveyard of dreams. On the other the maternity ward of hope. On one the law of cold hard justice – the salary of sin is death. On the other is the law of grace – the free gift of peace with God, with people, with yourself, and with all creation. Peter straddled it because that’s what we followers of Jesus do.

Today on everyone's favorite podcast for conspiracy, the paranormal, & the all around fringe: Alright Higherside Chatters, it's no surprise that the elite speak to each other in coded symbolism not meant for mere commoners or non-initiates- and we've seen the breadcrumbs of this stretching back centuries. Sometimes it's in statues and obelisks, sometimes in the architecture of famous buildings, and sometimes it's in the media. This doesn't surprise us today, but what if many old famous landmarks that we take for granted in modern times actually contain indications that they're connected to a group of Royal bloodlines and an inner circle that we haven't heard much about? Well when it comes to such legends and landmarks as the Oak Island Money Pit, Rennes Le Chateau, Washington DC, Sterling Castle, Roslyn Chapel, and the like- as we're going to learn today, this might be the case. Of course, many seekers have sought to unravel the mysteries in these locations, the secret messages in famous paintings, and the hidden meanings of their associated lore.... hoping to unearth some hidden Templar or Masonic riches at the end of the proverbial rainbow like a real life National Treasure situation, but they've all had little luck so far. As far as we know. People, these are the themes in the work of today's long overdue returning guest Cort Lindahl. Cort joined us back in 2014 to talk about his book Axis Mundi which looked at a particular type of Geomancy and building design that aligned certain landmarks across huge portions of the globe- and he's been expanding on that research ever since having released several new books along the way, such as: The Geographic Mysteries of Sir Francis Bacon: The Truth about Oak Island and more The Secrets of Edgar Allan Poe, the Kensington Rune, and Beale Treasure Revealed.: The use of the Prime Meridian in Talismanic Architecture Mysteries and Legends of Northern California: The Truth About Mt. Shasta and Beyond and the latest in the series: Oak Island and the Arcadian Mysteries: Oak Island, Rennes le Chateau, and Shugborough Hall A Nichols Cage for the modern age.

The Greatness of Community Banks Series: Prime Meridian Bank CEO,Sammie Dixon

Kelly: Hello, this is Kelly Coughlin, CEO of BankBosun. Today we're going to launch a series of podcasts on community banks and the role they have played in our history and the future. Community banks are critical to a community's social and economic ecosystem. I use the term ecosystem carefully and intentionally to describe a system of inter-connected elements formed by the interaction of a community with their environment, and in terms of a social and economic community, in my mind community banks are critical members of that ecosystem. That brings me to this podcast series, in which we're going to focus on community banks. In this series we're talking to a number of executives who are leaders in community banking, and I'm asking them to make community banks more fun and interesting. I think I used the term “humanize” community banks. The community bank has been around a long time. From the Revolutionary War in Massachusetts to the Santa Fe Trail in Kansas; expansions and contractions, recessions and depressions, community banks have seen it all. With that in mind, I have one of those leaders, Sammie Dixon, CEO of Prime Meridian Bank in Tallahassee, Florida. He's not been around since the Revolutionary War, I don't think, but he has seen a lot. Sammie, are you on the line there? Sammie: I am. Kelly: Have you been around since the Revolutionary War, Sammie? Sammie: No, I barely made the '60s. Kelly: Barely made the '60s, excellent. Sammie, I wanted to talk to you because when I look at your bio and some of the community involvement…I looked at all the involvement that you guys have…and I counted nearly 50 organizations, whether it be the Treehouse of Florida, Toys for Tots, Young Actors Theatre, Good News Outreach, Holy Comforter School, Lee's Place, Opening Nights. I'm not sure what Opening Nights is but..., you've got Florida Tax Watch. You've got over 50 organizations that you guys support one way or another. Talk to me about that. Sammie: Well, Kelly, there was a famous banker here in town by the name of Godfrey Smith, that always stated that a healthy community makes a healthy bank. And if you take care of the community, then the bank will be taken care of, if you're providing good service and charging good, honest rates, paying people good rates, and just making sure that the well-being of each individual client and the community as a whole is taken care of. Kelly: Kind of jumping forward here, what happens in a community when a community bank ends up getting acquired by a national bank or a large regional bank? Does that go away do you think? Sammie: It does to some extent. You've got someone outside of the individual community that really doesn't understand what's important, making decisions or providing budgets to the local leadership of that regional or money center bank. And they cannot react as quickly to the needs of the community. Whereas your community banks are able to really provide a nimble outlook. And by that I mean that if there's something happening that needs to be taken care of. The decision can be made within 5 minutes and let's get the problem squared away, from supporting one of the individual not-for-profits that are providing services to our community to the hospitals, the school system. It's having that ability to make a decision on the ground floor. Kelly: That's a segue into maybe the bigger picture here. That dynamic doesn't just relate to non-profit involvement, but it gets at the for-profit activities that a bank is involved in. When you're not part of that community, you can't respond as quickly, whether it be granting a commercial loan or that sort of thing. Talk about that a little bit. How is that impacted? Sammie: Every business is nothing more than a story with substance behind it. Having people and having the executive leadership having the opportunity to not only listen and hear the story, but live it. You get to see what they do each and every day and you're able to make decisions and make judgments in extending credit; what type of depository services they need; and there's nothing about a story that fits in a box. Every one of them is different. Every individual character, if you want to say, within the story is different. Having that ability to take the time, sit down, understand what the story is and where it's going, gives us an opportunity to make very quick and rational decisions that helps each individual business that then helps the community. Kelly: You mentioned story. What's your story? What's Prime Meridian's story? Sammie: Well, Prime Meridian Bank is a newer bank, one of the last in the state of Florida to get chartered. We opened our doors February 4th, 2008. We initially capitalized with about $12.9 million dollars. We have now since grown in excess of $275 million, over the last 8 years. We decided to start the bank, myself and Chris Jensen, and we thought we could provide service to our clientele, and decisions that would help them move more prudently and faster. Kelly: You saw a need specifically in the Tallahassee market? Sammie: We did. We thought that we could provide service and compete with everybody in town. We didn't have a group of people come together and say, "Let's start a bank." We put our story together and put our model together, and went to individual business leaders within town, here in Tallahassee and said, "We're going to start a bank we'd like you to be a part of," and that was the genesis of Prime Meridian Bank. Kelly: Was there a lot of consolidation and acquisitions that had gone on prior to that, and so that kind of created this market opportunity for you guys? Sammie: No. You had several community banks here in town already, most of your southeastern regional banks and your money center bank. We just thought there was an opportunity for us to come in and provide a little different level of service that would make us a profitable entity and serve Tallahassee very well. Kelly: Let's talk about the name Prime Meridian. You do know that you're not on the Prime Meridian? You do know that you're 84 degrees west, right? Sammie: I do, but the Prime Meridian for all metes and bounds in the state of Florida is here in Tallahassee. Kelly: Oh, got it. Sammie: If you look at the Prime Meridian, what is it? It's a starting point of the metes and bounds here for the state of Florida, and starting point of time, or the starting point of a new financial institution. The Meridian line is an unwavering line going over the Earth. We're unwavering in our outlook and care of our shareholder's money, but more importantly, our clients. Kelly: The Brits claimed Greenwich was the Prime Meridian. They don't own that, so you'd redefine Tallahassee to be the Prime Meridian. Sammie: At least for a new financial institution. Kelly: Very good. Continue with the evolution of the bank and the challenges you've faced in the past, as you went from de novo Bank? You didn't acquire another bank, right? Sammie: Right. Several things that we're proud of through the evolution of our company. Number one, which goes back to the quality of our team. When we started our bank, the average startup cost was about $800,000. The day that we opened the doors and took the write-off to capital for the expenses, we wrote off $395,000. That goes to the knowledge and expertise of our team of not having to hire a lot of consultants, and understanding each and every thing that we did. Going on to 2012, four years after we opened, we looked around with the team that we had, and realized that we could do our own data items processing. Instead of having a service bureau that was processing our checks, we decided we would do it ourselves. That added an immediate $8,500 a month to the bottom line. Kelly: Wow. Sammie: That same year, we also became cumulatively profitable. That was pretty exciting for us. And then in December 11th of 2013, we became an effective SEC registered company and then started listing our stock in 2015 on the OTCQX. So those are some of the things that we have done and we're very, very proud of. Dealing with the SEC, we went through a full review, when we filed our S1, our initial going public document. Our comment letter back from the SEC was simply 2 1/2 pages, which goes to say just how good our team is, and how detailed we are in each and every thing that we do. Kelly: Yeah. I know access to capital has been good once you go public, but it's quite a task to a) go public, and b) maintain that. The requirements are immense as you know. Was it worth it, do you think? Sammie: Absolutely. We went public for 3 reasons. Number one is we could raise our capital the way that we wanted to. We didn't have to worry about an accredited offering or anything of that nature. Number two is we're looking to grow the company and grow outside of the Tallahassee MSA, and if we do that we want to have a currency that we can use. In order to have your stock act as a currency, you've got to have a market for it, and the only way to do that was to be an SEC registered trading company. Then number three, when we decided to do it, our bank is still very clean. We do not have many non-performings or any crazy things on the books. It would never be easier to go through and do it. And we look at it like these days, with capital, you can't say, "Okay, we're going to go buy someone or do something. Now let's go get approval and say, 'Okay, if you give us approval we'll get the capital.'" You've got to have capital already on hand. There's no more just in time capital. And the same way we look at it is there's no just in time human capital. Kelly: Let's talk about human capital for a minute. How challenging is it for you to compete for new talent and retain existing talent with the compensation structure that community banks have to deal with? Sammie: Well, Kelly, that's been one of our strong points. When we started the bank in 2008, we were the new kids on the block. Nobody knew us. All we had was a story. It was nothing but air. So going out and getting the top absolute talent was difficult. People had their banks, things were going well. So we decided that we would start building our own bankers. And being here in Tallahassee and having Florida State and FAMU and TCC here, gave us the opportunity to go get a lot of talented younger folks to bring in, that had the capacity, train them, educate them. And one thing that we've done is we've been very transparent with our team. Up until we went public, we went through our financials with our entire team once a month. Now that we're a publicly traded company, we do it once a quarter. But giving them the exposure, I cannot give them experience, but giving them the exposure to what we're doing, why we're doing it, and how we're doing it, is as important as finding experienced people. And our entire culture is surrounded by a one-word question and that's “why”. Any teller, relationship manager, operations person, whoever, can ask me or anybody in the bank why are we doing something. And that causes two things. Number one, the hardest thing to get people to do is think. If they're asking you questions, then they're thinking. And if you answer their questions: Why did we go public? Why did we raise capital? Why are we looking to acquire banks? What does that mean to the bottom line? Now, all of the sudden you've created an inclusive ecosystem, as you say, that people can buy-in. The biggest thing people want is to be a part of something, and what we've afforded a lot of folks to do is come in and be a part of building something from the foundation up. And constantly giving them that transparency of what we're doing and why we're doing it, is very, very inclusive. And we listen. I can't tell a teller how to make a teller line more efficient. So if I can't listen to what they're doing like I ask them to listen to me and do what I say. If we don't have a partnership there, we're not going to get any better. That's the number one. Number two, if someone asks me a question. Why are we doing this? and I can't answer it, then I might need to rethink what I'm doing. Does that make sense? Kelly: It certainly does. Have you used non-qualified benefit plans as part of that overall compensation structure? This is not a pitch for that. I was just curious if you'd ever talked about that. Sammie: Yes. We're in the process of looking at our entire compensation structure now, and figuring out how to better enhance it to a) retain, b) attract, and c) incentivize. Kelly: So say another side of say the balance sheet, since we're talking about that, municipal bonds. Anything that you've seen change here since the 2008 Dodd-Frank and all this other stuff of municipal bond rating agencies? Have you guys had to modify any of your practices on that? Sammie: We're using a third party right now to monitor our municipal portfolio. So in the old days of just buying bonds and putting them on the books, we actually have a quarterly review of all of our municipalities. Kelly: So you've had to upgrade that since the regulatory changes? Sammie: We have. And I don't think it's all that bad from the standpoint that you look at a lot of municipalities out there that are having weakness due to the down-turn, and the one thing that we have made the decision from day one, is we take risk, and there's risk in everything you do, but we take the real risk in our loan portfolio. We do not want any risk in our investment portfolio. We're looking at it as simply a hedge against interest rates, and also as just a liquidity source. Kelly: Well then you better load up with bank-owned life insurance. You've got about 50% of your financial assets in muni’s and I like the lower balance sheet risk that BOLI offers. That’s another discuss with you and Glenn. What's the future look like for community banking in general, threats that you see, opportunities? For example, 80% of millennials haven't even walked into a bank before. Sammie: Let's stop right there for a second and talk about the millennials for a minute. Number one, I talked about how we hire and what we do. The average age of our bank is 38. The average age of our management team is 41. As far as dealing with millennials and all, one thing most people have forgotten is most millennials have yet to start a company. A lot of them, due to the recession, still live with their parents. So therefore, they really haven't needed to walk into a bank. Now a lot of the millennials that we have found, and we talk with, and we do this a lot. They want to be a part of something. And they're much more community driven and doing something for the greater good. Once you are able to show them from a teammate standpoint what we're doing, they buy in. Once they actually need something other than just a regular checking account, i.e. buy their first house; buy a business or trying to finance the start of a business, they need to sit down and talk with someone who understands the market. And we have found, we've been very successful with millennials. Now we're not out there with everything online, rocket mortgage and things of that nature. We're finding a lot of success dealing with the millennials. What that comes back to is we generally don't get them until they need something. And every individual, every household is nothing different than a story too. Where's your income coming from? Is it going to be sustainable? Can you afford whatever asset you're trying to purchase? That has been very, very beneficial to us. As far as whether or not banks are going to be here, I've talked with bankers that go back to the '60s that said the community bank's not going to be around much longer. Well, as long as you have people, there's a certain segment of the population that wants to talk with people, when it comes to their financial situation. Coming up from a small town in south Georgia, and growing up the 3 most important people in the town was your doctor, your preacher, and your banker; your health care, your faith care, and your financial care. And you generally didn't do that via an email. I truly believe that there will always be a place for the community bank. Now with the regulations and thought process out there, there's going to be fewer and fewer community banks due to the fact that what we're required to do. We're operating in most cases from an asset-liability standpoint, overall balance sheet management standpoint, like a larger bank. However, we don't have the economies of scale to do it. So we have to be more innovative and more nimble. And that goes right down to talking with your regulators on a consistent basis to understanding what the rules are. If you're going to form a hospital, or if you're going to start a power company, there's regulations you have to abide by. As a community banker, you had better understand the rules and abide by them or find something else to do. That's just the approach that we've taken. And it creates a lot less heartache and stress, when you come at it from that standpoint, versus saying, "The regulators are going to kill me." Regardless what they're going to do, they're going to do it. So you better find out or figure a way to cope with it. Kelly: Great. What's the biggest threat, other than let's say cyber-security risk, which probably keeps you up at night…other than that, what's the biggest risk or fear that you have, say for the next 10 years? Sammie: As we expand, finding the human capital, finding the talent, the teammates. Kelly: Really? Sammie: The human capital. Kelly: So in Tallahassee or in some of your outlying branches? You have access to plenty of talent there, right? Sammie: There is a good supply, and it's just finding the right people that believe in what we believe in. Our culture is the most important aspect of what we do each and every day, and I go back to the question “why”. If you're questioning why we're doing something, some people look at that as somewhat of a negative. We look at it as a positive, because if you cannot explain what's going on, and you cannot understand it, then the “how” really doesn't matter. Kelly: What's the biggest opportunity that you see? What gets you up every morning after you've had a sleepless night worrying about cyber-security risks? What gets you going? Sammie: The opportunity to grow, to build our franchise here within Tallahassee; the opportunities outside of Tallahassee. Within our investor presentation, we show that we don't want to go any further north than Macon, south of Ocala, east of the Atlantic and west of the eastern border of the state of Mississippi. That is south Alabama, south Georgia, and north Florida. The opportunities to be there are endless. And that is something to get excited about and get out of bed every day, and figuring out a new challenge to go build upon. Kelly: That's great. All right. In closing, I always like to ask either your favorite quote and/or the stupidest thing you've done in your business career. Sammie: I will give you my favorite quote, and it's on our boardroom wall, and it is by a retired General, Eric Shinseki, who has been re-retired. The quote is, "If you do not like change, you are going to like irrelevance even less." Shinseki is the most recent former head of the VA. He's pretty irrelevant right now. Kelly: I would say so. Alright. Very good. Anything else you want to add Sammie, or should we sign it off? Sammie: You tell me. Thank you. Kelly: I think we're good. Thank you very much for your time. It was a pleasure talking to you. I wish you well, Sammie. Stay safe! And that’s it for my interview with Sammie Dixon from Prime Meridian Bank in Tallahassee, Florida. Thank you.

Hello and welcome to Holiday a Day, your daily dose of Holidays, festivals, celebrations and remembrances from around the world. I am your host Jeffrey Johnson On July 12th 2014 we celebrate Independence Day for Independent and Sovereign Republic of Kiribati In 1979 Kiribati gained it's independence from Great Britain. An island nation in the south pacific straddling the equator it is also the furthest east of all the countries as it is next to the International Date line. Actually prior to 1995 it straddled the IDL so that government offices could only work with other offices 4 days a week since it was the weekend in the eastern most part when the western part was Friday. Happy Independence Day Kiribati! We also celebrate Independence Day for the Democratic Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe In 1975 this small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea, near the equator, received it's independence from Portugal. It was one of the first African nations to embrace democratic reform in the 1990s. Originally uninhabited till their discovery by Portuguese sailors, the islands first became an area to grow sugar and then as a stopping point for the international slave trade. It is now a self ruling nation with the descendants of those who were forced there against their will to work for the landowners now taking ownership of their country. Happy Independence Day São Tomé and Príncipe Fun side note, as São Tomé and Príncipe is in the Gulf of Guinea, which has the Prime Meridian going through it, and it near the equator and Kiribati straddling the equator and at one point the International Date Line, these two countries are almost exactly opposite each other on the globe. That is all I have for today but if I have missed anything or if you think I might miss a future holiday let me know at holidayaday@gmail.com or on twitter @holidayaday. And remember to have a great day because there is a holiday out there somewhere.
