POPULARITY
It's Oscar season! I was so thrilled to see ‘Past Lives', the astounding slow-moving-yet-somehow-fast-paced debut film from Celine Song nominated for Best Picture. Best Picture! On her very first film. Oh, and no biggie, Best Screenplay, too. This following a slew of other noms like 5 Golden Globes, 3 Critics Choice Awards, 3 BAFTAs, and a recent Director's Guild of America win for Outstanding Directorial Achievement for a First-Time Feature Film. Leslie and I loved ‘Past Lives' so much we went back to theaters to see it again. The film had such unique energy as it told the story of Nora and Hae Sung, two childhood friends in South Korea, who lose touch when Nora's family emigrates, and then seem to be forever-chasing the goodbye they never had. The film opens with a late-night bar scene of Hae Sung visiting Nora and her husband in New York before scrolling back to tell the unpredictable, jumping-around-the-decades story of how they got there. Every shot was such a sumptuous visual feast — from silhouetted lineups for the Staten Island Ferry to broken-transmission Skype calls to a final waiting-for-an-Uber scene that deserves its own prize. And the writing! Crisp. Punctuating. So much said ... with so little. ‘Past Lives' is a truly magical film that I can't recommend enough. 96% on Rotten Tomatoes also means there's a great chance your movie-going pal will love it, too. I was thrilled ‘Past Lives' director, writer, and filmmaker wunderkind Celine Song joined me on 3 Books from her New York apartment to talk about the Korean concept of in-yun, why we're drawn to stories, what unique role millennials play as the last pre-Internet-immersive generation, how a cannibalistic orgy makes for great literature, a surprising cure for loneliness, why sensory deprivation increases chemistry, the other job of a director, Celine's 3 most formative books, and much, much more... Let's flip the page into Chapter 133 now...
This episode originally aired in October 2022 as part of our first season of Cultivate. With summer winding down, many of us parents may have a heightened awareness of way our days with our children are spent, as we seek to make the most of this time we have. This conversation may help you think differently - and even Biblically - about how to infuse your family's days with real meaning. (Original description) Time is a precious commodity in our families' lives today. Amid the rushing and the fullness of our schedules, it's so important that we consider how we can fill our days with meaningful activity - not just meaningless, utilitarian activity. In this episode Graham Dennis and Ty Fischer discuss how you can (and why you should) find ways to imbue your days with truth, beauty, and goodness, leading to a richer and even more enjoyable life in Christ.

On March 20, 2003, the United States invaded Iraq, and shortly thereafter, Ghaith Abdul-Ahad became an accidental journalist. Originally trained as an architect, he fell in as a translator with a group of foreign journalists, then as a photographer and war reporter for The Guardian and The Washington Post. In his new book, A Stranger in Your Own City, Abdul-Ahad documents the devastation of Baghdad, from the sanctions of the 1990s to the aftermath of Saddam Hussein's fall. Punctuating his account are revealing interviews with his fellow Iraqis—Sunni commanders, schoolteachers, old high school friends, insurgents of every stripe—about the war and its effects, which continue to shape life in the region years after the American withdrawal.Go beyond the episode:Ghaith Abdul-Ahad's A Stranger in Your Own City: Travels in the Middle East's Long WarRead the anniversary piece Abdul-Ahad wrote for The Guardian: “Guns, cash, and frozen chicken: the militia boss doling out aid in Baghdad”Roughly 2,500 U.S. troops remain in Iraq, twenty years after the invasionSome of Abdul-Ahad's illustrations from the bookTune in every week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

Welcome to Part II of II of Subordinators! (Part I is Episode 16–find all the details at LALBlog or listen at iTunes.) In this episode, I review my first two tricks for teaching students lists of subordinators: (1) First seven subordinators learned in rhyme: Since, when, because, though As, if, that, although! (2) Subordinate-Check Sentence— 75% of the dozens of subordinators fit into this check sentence (and, it also shows that subordinators are subordinate to the rest of the sentence---like submarines go down!): _______ the submarine went down, we could still/not see it. After that review, I teach about the power of using terminology and tricks that have something to do with what that part of speech is or does. In the case of subordinate clauses, I like to use the term subordinate clauses over dependent clauses since the subordinator is the first word in a subordinate clause…. And subordinate means less. A subordinate clause is less than a real sentence and cannot be used unless it has a complete sentence added to it: Sub clause, complete sentence. Lastly, I explain four important reasons to have students memorize/recognize Subordinators (and eventually recognize subordinate clauses quickly and easily): Subordinate clauses are bot sentences —recognizing sentences and non-sentences is one of the crucial early writing skills. Punctuating subordinate clause openers and putting complete sentences with openers properly is essential. Subordinate clauses have subjects and verbs and need to have these match in tense and number—just like a sentence does. It will be important later to learn the details of advanced punctuation with subordinate clauses in various positions in a sentence.

Time is a precious commodity in our families' lives today. Amid the rushing and the fullness of our schedules, it's so important that we consider how we can fill our days with meaningful activity - not just meaningless, utilitarian activity. In this, our final episode of Season One, Graham Dennis and Ty Fischer discuss how you can (and why you should) find ways to imbue your days with truth, beauty, and goodness, leading to a richer and even more enjoyable life in Christ. Stay tuned next month for a series of Advent devotional podcasts from Graham Dennis to help you put into practice what we talk about today - that is, punctuating your family's Christmas season with deeper meaning and abiding joy!
Light Work presents "The Lottery" a solo exhibition of new works by Pittsburgh-based photographer Melissa Catanese. In "The Lottery," Catanese turns her attention to the tense and confusing state of contemporary politics and culture. Her images bring together large groups of people, barren caverns, natural forces, physical exertion, and eruptions both crude and colorful. The accumulated manic puzzle shifts the viewer from crowded street to darkened cavern. Along the way, we see a geyser of oil, streaks of lightning, veins of molten rock, and cooling craters. Punctuating these natural phenomena are people in states of glee, pain, confusion, and anguish.Catanese borrows the title from literature. In Shirley Jackson's famous short story, a village casually embarks on a yearly ritual of selecting an individual and then stoning them to death. Catanese's "The Lottery" teases out similar themes regarding ritual, culture, and the diffused accountability of a mob.Melissa Catanese's work blends anonymous photographs, press clips, and images from NASA's archive with her own. Single images resemble sentence fragments that Catanese completes with her sequences. Sometimes seamlessly blending in, Catanese's own images also act as punctuation throughout the work. This creates a sensation of call and response between the archival material and Catanese's own images that brings to mind the Chauvet Cave in southeastern France. There, brilliant cave paintings date back 37,000 years. Over this enormous stretch of time, additional visitors added their own marks to the cave murals, sometimes with gaps of more than 5,000 years. The idea that collaboration can reach across time, decoding or willfully rethinking, is present throughout "The Lottery."melissacatanese.comMusic: "Pacing" by Blue Dot Sessions —Special thanks to Daylight Blue Mediadaylightblue.comLight Worklightwork.org See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Keystone sounds broken.] JACK Hi! I'm Jack. Listen! Listen closely, it's all real and very, very important. JOSE You still think this is some grand adventure, don't you? [Cut to slower intro music.] SCENE ONE [Keystone activating. Elevator doors opening, JACK steps out. The doors close behind her. There's the swish of a saber.] JACK Ed? ...Ed are you home? Look, we need to talk-- EDWITH [Click of her office door opening. There's the muffled voice of RAFAEL saying ‘Is that her now?' EDWITH shuts the door behind her.] I'm here. And I couldn't agree more. This morning's behavior was-- [Beat] You have a sword. JACK I...Yeah. I...I don't want to use it. Ed, please. Just talk to me.

I knew there was a chance you wouldn't feel reasonable just yet, so. I suppose I took my own precautions, too. [Her office door opens again and RAFAEL, REVA, and ALICE come out] RAFAEL Hi Ms. Withers! It's so nice to see you again, all alone and armed with a fencing sword. REVA Aww. Do you know how to wield that thing? ALICE Would it matter if she did? REVA I suppose not, no. JACK No...No, Ed, you didn't-- EDWITH I did. I thought perhaps you needed some convincing. You spoke at great length about how far you were willing to go to save me. I believe something about ‘not even being ripped limb from limb' would stop you? JACK Ed... RAFAEL Oh! Ripping!

The Healing Savior, The Sanctuary Service, August 29, 2021
Punctuating the first season of The Heart of Law, Mirena invites the perfectly sanguine and finely enlightened guest, Ilya Lerma, into the show. Our riveting anchor calls Ilya the New Age Lawyer, and the title fits her well. Ilya gives us a backdrop of a picturesque childhood entrenched with philosophy and a keen awareness of others. Nurtured by accomplished and astute parents who lovingly raised her to have a sentient worldview beyond her youth, she saw life through the eyes of Kant, Jung, Hume, among other empiricists and rationalists who later influenced her adult life. Deeply transformed by CC Zane's Spiritual Alchemy, Ilya considers the “material universe [as] a manifestation of the metaphysical universe,” perceiving everyday pressures as mere tools of refinement “into spirit and transcendence.” She views the personal and professional pressure of the daily grind as the “alchemical furnace,” effectively used by the universe to refine her intuition, her consciousness, her humanity. While she acknowledges her law practice as “a little unorthodox,” we know Ilya is as endearing as they come—regularly earthing (removing shoes for one's soles to commune with the earth), faithfully meditating, and gently pursuing vivid connections with everyone. With the soul of a seeker, she understands the intrinsic value of showing trustworthiness, perceiving that authenticity makes for meaningful work, relationships, and existence. Into the deep dive, Ilya leads us through the fascinating world of Trial Structure, a scientifically systematized method of taking, streamlining, and organizing information from plaintive cases, so lawyers know how to efficiently "recognize predictable patterns of … attack [and] anticipate them." Ilya runs this company alongside her mentor and friend, Alejandro Blanco. With a prolific team of seasoned trial lawyers, they prepare inexperienced colleagues to handle the complexities of a case and more. As the conversation continues, Mirena and Ilya discuss the impact women have in the law industry. With Ilya as the current president of the Arizona Trial Lawyers Association—the first woman to hold office in 20 years—she stays at the forefront representing women who influence the “changing landscape” of their profession. They touch on organic feminine allegiances, unique client advocacy, versatile plaintiff representations, all driven by the capable female id. WIth minds in perfect sync, the two indomitable women consider a promising future for themselves and their contemporaries. Ilya bewitches us completely. She loves life. She loves others. She loves herself—inviting us all to do the same. Fearless love “ … it's always there, and there's never any fear that you're going to [fall] short.” That's one transcendent edict bringing The Heart of Law's first season to a sublime close.

It's your responsibility.”“Talk to yourself as you would a friend.”“You don't have to do it all today.”“Just get up. You just got to beat it one more time.”“My journey to becoming more self-aware and much more of a conscious being has shown itself more and my parenting than anything else.”“Communicating is communing. And we forget that … not only do I commune with people [and] with my children, but I have a communion within myself. And it's deeply gratifying.”“ When you are able to love [yourself], you truly love everybody.”“We're going to have to rethink the business of law ““In order to be a great lawyer, you have to be adventurous. You have to try a lot. You have to be open to everything, because the people that you're going to encounter in your practice [and represent], are people that have had… a very colorful life. And unless you understand who they are, you can't possibly represent them correctly.” ABOUT OUR GUEST Attorney at Law, Trial Coach, and Consultant at Ilya Law President-Elect of the Arizona Trial Lawyers Association Recently obtained a $20 million settlement in the state of California Speaker for the Arizona Advanced Trial Advocacy Fall 2021 Conference Recipient of several honors and awards, including Arizona Trial Lawyer-Volunteer Lawyer of the Year (2014), Featured Speaker Arizona Association for Justice, Trial Advocacy Conference (2014), Arizona Latina Women in Business panelist (2012), Clean Technologies, "Fresh-Faces" Presenter and Award Recipient (2010) Author of several published works and novels LINKS FROM THE SHOW Swing by Ilya's practice in Arizona Here is more on Trial Structure Books Ilya recommends: The Immortality Key by Brian Muraresku, Mastery of Love by Miguel Ruiz, and Deeply influenced by C.C.

RADIO SAFE! And it's a rerun, a real oldie. Hour of Slack #535, 1996. It's WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON X-DAY, in excruciating detail. It features what may well be the most forceful (and informative!) rants ever delivered by both Rev. Ivan Stang and Dr. K'taden Legume, sermons recorded in moments when those worthies were totally caught up in the thrall of "Bob" -- divine messengers, as it were, helpless to do anything but preach the hardest truths of SubGenius Orthodox Dobbsian doctrine. Punctuating these heart-staking sermons are some of the most intensive so-called "Media Barrage tapes" from the 1980s, especially segments from St. Byron Werner's historic cassette collage masterpieces "Space Age Bachelor Pad" (the actual origin of that hipster genre catch-phrase) and "Dougs, Drugs and Doctors." Voices heard from the old SubGenius Media Barrage tapes include Dr. Philo Drummond, Hellswami Satellite Weavers (the great SubGenius "ur-illustrator" narrating into a tape deck on a drive through Meteor Crater, Arizona), Former Pastor Buck Naked, Dobbs' bodyguard Dr. G. Gordon Gordon, Pope Michael Flores and even Janor, back in the olden days. We should have been running this episode annually, and would do so henceforth, were not X-Day imminently nigh. http://subgenius.com
There are times in the development of technology and society when things change only slowly. And then there are times when things change rapidly indeed. The 1960's were certainly one of those times, for a lot of reasons. In this episode of Terranauts however, we are going to talk specifically about how simultaneous revolutions in telecommunications and satellite technology came together to change the way we talk to one another forever.
In this episode we hear the remarkable stories of two exceptional men, neither of whom fired a shot in anger during the Great War, but through selflessness, humility and bravery have entered into history.We meet the Reverend Geoffrey Studdart Kennedy, better known by his nickname of Woodbine Willie, a man whose sermons were so legendary he was forced to hold up to 10 services on a Sunday, so many soldiers wanted to hear him preach. As famous for his spicy language, as his burlap sacks of Bibles and cigarettes, Kennedy was also a prolific poet and author Universally popular with the men, less so with the top brass, when he died over 30,000 people attended his funeral.We also hear the story of the most highly decorated non-combatant of the War, the diminutive Reverend Theodore Hardy, whose bravery and humanity saw him awarded a Military Cross, a Distinguished Service Order, and finally a Victoria Cross for bravery. Punctuating his arrival in the trenches with a cheerful shout of "Don't shoot boys! It's only the Padre!" he became a firm favourite with the men.We look at the history of the Army Chaplains Corps from the Crusades to the Crimea and discover that if you've been shot in No Mans Land, you'd better hope that the Bishop of London doesn't come out to try and find you.
To ground some of our explorations in recent conversations, join me for a short and succinct look at how mindfulness practices help us contribute to not only our personal liberation but to broader social reform. I also share an “architecture of mindfulness meditation” as a simple tool for arriving in your own practice, understanding the foundations for retraining attention and building choicefullness. These episodes are designed as a way to explore more of the theory, technique and practices supporting us in bringing the ideas, philosophies and concepts explored in conversations into our lived being-in-the-world.

Mark is delighted to welcome Rabbi Matt Gewirtz to the podcast today. Rabbi Gewirtz began his tenure as the Senior Rabbi of Congregation B’nai Jeshurun in July 2006, and is the President of the Coalition of Religious Leaders for the State of New Jersey. He is the author of The Gift of Grief: Finding Peace, Transformation and Renewed Life after Great Sorrow, often appears as a commentator on religion on MSNBC’s ‘Morning Joe’ and CNN’s ‘State of the Union’, and has recently started his own television series as a tri-anchor of PBS’s (NJTV), ‘A Matter of Faith with an Imam, Bishop and Rabbi’. Rabbi Gewirtz has chosen 1Samuel3 to discuss with Mark today. Before summarizing the passage, Rabbi Gewirtz shares the context in which it occurs, reviews the significance of the names of those involved in the story, and explores the notions of remembering not to forget, and recognizing when you are being called as they appear in both the passage and in current times. He then explains the notion of Angels according to Jewish thinking, where such Angels can be found in the world today, and reflects upon the search for meaning and God which many people engage in as they grow older. He and Mark also share some of the ways that Jews and Christians can learn from each other and explore the contribution to healing that awakening God in people can bring, and Rabbi Gewirtz finishes by sharing two profound lessons he has learned throughout his life. As you listen in today, you will be astounded by the many lessons that are revealed in the chosen passage, you will be awestruck by the insights shared, and you will undoubtedly continue to ponder the wisdom offered here for a long time to come. Episode Highlights: Rabbi Gewirtz’s context for today’s passage and summary of the story itself The significance of the names of those involved in this story and the language of ‘calling’ Remembering not to forget Recognizing when you are being ‘called’ Angels as defined by Jewish thinking and their presence in our lives today Congregants looking for meaning, particularly on ‘the back nine’ Jews and Christians learning from each other Healing through awakening God in others Two lessons about mankind that Rabbi Gewirtz has learned Quotes: “Make sure that you never forget and you always remember God and your relationship with God.” “Sometimes…the most important thing in the world could be calling at you and…you don’t see it.” “We think that being uniquely qualified for something means that we get it on the first time.” “We are not perfect people but we have moments of perfection that represents God’s presence on Earth, and we don’t have to be that forever.” “Punctuating our life with acting in ways that perpetuate sacred moments.” “There’s something powerful about awakening God in people that does contribute to the process of healing.” “The parts of us that become angelic…exist within the layers of our imperfection.” 1 Samuel 3 Young Samuel was in the service of the LORD under Eli. In those days the word of the LORD was rare; prophecy was not widespread. https://www.sefaria.org/I_Samuel.3.1?lang=bi&with=all&lang2=en Links: The Rabbi’s Husband homepage: http://therabbishusband.com/ Mark’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/markgerson?lang=en Rabbi Gewirtz's Twitter: https://twitter.com/rabbimat?lang=en
The Poco a Poco Podcast with the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal
Join Fr. Angelus, Fr. Innocent, and Fr. Mark-Mary, members of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, in a deep dive into the "Franciscan sweet spot": Poverty of Spirit and The Kingdom of Heaven where our dependence meets the Father's providence. For this reason, the friars truly consider themselves, "Rich Kids." They are rich in intimacy with the Father and it's possible for you too! Punctuating everything the friars discuss is the witness of Fr. Innocent, who as a 24-year-old friar, had what he calls a "conversion" moment after he woke up paralyzed from a routine back surgery. In was in that moment, he experienced the Lord's love for him not because of his gifts or abilities, but because he is truly his beloved son.

As a producer, she has steadily built her repertoire, with a penchant for experimentation that's guided by an innate understanding of what makes a great song. Punctuating those musical attributes, her debut album “Holograma" on the Hallucienda label, further revealed the emergence of a songwriter hinting at influences ranging from the ambient vocal stylings of This Mortal Coil, to the electronica offerings of Bjork, without ever sounding like anything other than herself. Öona Dahl continues to develop her versatility as both producer, and DJ by effortlessly weaving through electronica, ambience, and cosmic warehouse grooves.
The slow build of a midsummer dawn chorus in Snowdonia, North Wales, interwoven with the sounds of the brooks, streams, and rivers that creep through the hillsides down to the lake by the village: this programme is a tribute to the landscape and past poets of the heart of Snowdonia. An isolated farmhouse near Trawsfynydd was the birthplace of the iconic Welsh shepherd-poet Hedd Wyn. But there were hundreds more like him in this mountainous corner of Wales: the sons and daughters of tenant farmers, artisans and workers, who left school at 14 but were nurtured by the community, the chapel and the eisteddfod system, and emerged as writers skilled in the craft of strict metre poetry. They left behind englynion – short poems in restricted syllables (like haiku), that often describe the landscape. Punctuating the serene Trawsfynydd soundscape, we intersperse englynion, by poets from the area, hearing them first in Welsh, and then in English. The poems, written a century ago and further back, draw on ancient traditions, and distil visual images into gems. Hedd Wyn’s most admired is translated as: “I have walked by sweet streams in the nervous wind of the hill pastures, the sunlight a white arm about the old neck of the mountains.” The impression is of a landscape haunted and re-populated by the poets that were moved during their lifetimes to write about their extraordinary surroundings – land they often worked hard on and tended themselves, and knew intimately. With readings by poet and musician Gwyneth Glyn
Broadsound is the first in a series of podcasts taking an explorative and alternative look at the county of Norfolk. In this podcast writer and naturalist, Mark Cocker joins poet, author and UEA lecturer, Jean McNeil on the 12:36 train from Norwich to Great Yarmouth. Their conversation focuses on the broads; Norfolk's unique and alluring National Park. Broadsound is the same duration as the trip from Norwich to Great Yarmouth and can be listened to on the train to accompany the journey. Punctuating their conversation are recordings of Surlingham-based duo 'The Happy Couple' and field recordings made in and around the broads. Ear of the Edgeland Ep.1 / Broadsounds was produced by Oliver Payne for the Norfolk and Norwich Sonic Arts Collective. 'Lullaby of Broadland' and 'Into the Reeds' were written by The Happy Couple (David Ross and Judith Goodman) and recorded in Surlingham church by Oliver Payne. Binaural field recording of Ranworth broad made by Ollie Hall. Field Recording of the Ted Ellis reserve at Surlingham made by Richard Fair. We are extremely grateful to the Broads Landscape Partnership's 'Water, Mills and Marshes' project for funding this project.

Here's more from amazon about Don't You Forget About Me:After earning rave reviews with her rock-and-roll memoir But Enough About Me, Jancee Dunn takes on fiction in this comically poignant debut, a perfect read for anyone who has ever looked back nostalgically and wondered what might have been. At thirty-eight, Lillian Curtis is content with her life. She enjoys her routine as a producer for a talk show in New York City starring showbiz veteran Vi (“short for vibrant”) Barbour, a spirited senior. Lillian’s relationship with her husband is pleasant if no longer exciting. Most nights she is more than happy to come home to her apartment and crawl into her pajamas. Then she’s hit with a piece of shocking news: Her husband wants a divorce. Blindsided, Lillian takes a leave of absence and moves back to her parents’ home in suburban New Jersey. Nestled in her childhood bedroom, where Duran Duran and Squeeze posters still cover the walls, she finds high school memories a healing salve to her troubles. She hurtles backward into her teen years, driving too fast, digging up mix tapes, and tentatively reconciling with Dawn, a childhood friend she once betrayed. Punctuating her stroll down memory lane is an invitation to the Bethel Memorial High School class of 1988 twenty-year reunion. It just might be Lillian’s chance to reconnect with her long-lost boyfriend, Christian Somers, who is expected to attend. Will it be just like heaven? Lillian discovers, as we all must, the pitfalls of glorifying the glory days, the mortification of failing as a thirtysomething adult, and the impossibility of fully recapturing the past. Don’t You Forget About Me is for anyone who looks back and wonders: What if?
“Climbing and the American Alpine Club have grown substantially over the last 10 years, and this growth allows us to do more of what we want to do: more good in the world.” --Phil Powers LISTEN: Outdoor Entrepreneurism, Education, and Activism with Phil Powers Famed climber and alpinist Phil Powers has pioneered thirty personal expeditions around the globe, including the first ascent of the Washburn Face of Denali and climbing K2 without supplemental oxygen. His visionary leadership and roles as entrepreneur and educator in the outdoor industry have grown equally influential. Phil currently serves as the CEO of the American Alpine Club, where he has vastly expanded the organization’s membership base and education and conservation efforts. Phil formerly served as the vice president for institutional advancement at Naropa University and worked for seventeen years with the National Outdoor Leadership School as chief mountaineering instructor and development/partnerships director. An entrepreneur and author, Phil also owns Jackson Hole Mountain Guides and wrote NOLS Wilderness Mountaineering. In this episode of the Take Me Outdoors podcast, Verde founder and CEO Kristin Carpenter-Ogden sits down with this mountaineering, climbing and outdoor industry legend to talk about the role of the outdoor industry in conservation and outdoor activism in a rapidly changing political climate. They also discuss how to the AAC works to improve climbing safety and education as the sport continues to diversify and grow, so that everyone can get outside. Phil shares what he learned working for NOLS for 17 years and mountaineering around the world; how he became an author; how business taught him to pause and be mindful; and ultimately, why despite all of his epic adventures, Phil would rather be rock climbing in the sun with his family. Phil is a visionary and inspiration to everyone excited about getting outdoors and preserving the planet, and we hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did! Bulletpoints: Established in 1902 by climbers and conservationists, the American Alpine Club (AAC) is a goods and services organization that supports climbing and climbing landscapes. In addition to providing lodging and rescue services for its members, AAC plays an instrumental role in conservation, advocacy, and encouraging people to get outside through grants and education. After expanding its membership from 4,000 to 18,000 over the past 10 years, AAC is capitalizing on its blossoming base to do more good in the world, especially by deepening its commitment to public policy. AAC advocates for federal policies that protect and preserve public lands to ensure that organizations and individuals can get outside and can learn to do so the right way. AAC partners with organizations like the Outdoor Alliance, Outdoor Industry Association, and Access Fund to find and forward state and federal legislation that funds conservation and prevents the transfer of public lands to new ownership that would limit people’s access to them. AAC also mobilizes support through motivating members to participate by writing letters to and calling legislators. AAC continues its legacy of funding climbing, conservation and research projects through its grants program, which is larger than ever before. AAC will give away $60,000 in Live Your Dream grants this year. AAC is committed to expanding its education program, which entails streamlining education across the country and improving educational quality. This consists of working with institutions effectively to make sure climbing curricula are similar and by beginning to certify climbing instructors. Climbing is expanding and diversifying. Passionate about making climbing and exploration accessible to all, Phil and AAC welcome new climbers at the gym to the outside by increasing education. AAC Universal Belay Program strives to standardize belaying across the U.S. so that every American climber is armed with the knowledge and practice to belay in fundamentally sound way. The curriculum promotes three fundamental principles of belaying technique. Phil has written two books, an expedition planning guide (Climbing: Expedition Planning (Mountaineers Outdoor Expert) and the work he is most proud of, the textbook for mountain climbing at NOLS (Wilderness Mountaineering). As the Vice President for institutional advancement at Naropa University, Phil learned the power of pause. Punctuating the beginning of a time you want to spend with friends, family or colleagues enables you to come together collectively and mindfully. A pause is situational, and can entail bowing before dinner, summoning people together with a gong, or honoring partnership-- the most central aspect of climbing-- through formally checking each other before you start.

And it's a rerun, a real oldie. Hour of Slack #535. It's WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON X-DAY, in excruciating detail. It features what may well be the most forceful (and informative!) rants ever delivered by both Rev. Ivan Stang and Dr. K'taden Legume, sermons recorded in moments when those worthies were totally caught up in the thrall of "Bob" -- divine messengers, as it were, helpless to do anything but preach the hardest truths of SubGenius Orthodox Dobbsian doctrine. Punctuating these heart-staking sermons are some of the most intensive so-called "Media Barrage tapes" from the 1980s, especially segments from St. Byron Werner's historic cassette collage masterpieces "Space Age Bachelor Pad" (the actual origin of that hipster genre catch-phrase) and "Dougs, Drugs and Doctors." Voices heard from the old SubGenius Media Barrage tapes include Dr. Philo Drummond, Hellswami Satellite Weavers (the great SubGenius "ur-illustrator" narrating into a tape deck on a drive through Meteor Crater, Arizona), Former Pastor Buck Naked, Dobbs' bodyguard Dr. G. Gordon Gordon, Pope Michael Flores and even Janor, back in the olden days. We should have been running this episode annually, and would do so henceforth, were not X-Day imminently nigh.
