Op een zwoele Catalaanse avond in augustus 2011 stonden de sterren uitgelijnd boven Camp Nou. Niet voor zomaar een wedstrijd, maar voor een clash die bruiste van spanning en oud zeer. Barcelona en Real Madrid, Guardiola en Mourinho, schoonheid en scherpte. De Spaanse Supercopa als decor voor een duel dat steeds minder op voetbal en steeds meer op theater leek.Messi danste als vanouds. Hij strooide met assists, scoorde zelf, en bepaalde het tempo alsof hij de dirigent van een orkest was. Real vocht terug, Benzema en Ronaldo toonden hun klasse, maar in de 88e minuut was het opnieuw Messi die met een magistrale volley het verschil maakte. 3-2. De beker bleef in Camp Nou. De wedstrijd leek beslist.Tot plots het doek werd weggescheurd. Marcelo, wild en gefrustreerd, zaagde Cesc Fàbregas onderuit. Wat volgde was geen slotapplaus, maar een vechtpartij die zelfs Hollywood niet had kunnen regisseren. Duwen, trekken, rode kaarten. Mourinho, met die ijzige blik, stak z'n vinger in het oog van Tito Vilanova — een gebaar dat de rivaliteit een nieuwe, duistere dimensie gaf.De avond eindigde in verwarring. Wat bleef hangen was niet alleen de klasse van Messi, maar de broeierige haat tussen twee ploegen die niet zonder, maar zeker niet met elkaar konden leven. Voetbal als oorlog, schoonheid als bijzaak.Sommige wedstrijden winnen prijzen. Andere winnen geschiedenis. En deze? Die bleef als een litteken op het gezicht van El Clásico.In de podcast verwijzen Bart en Jean-Paul naar:De uitgebreide samenvatting met Spaans commentaar (inclusief chaos aan het einde): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nK67mcLPsQ&ab_channel=FutbisionMEXDe samenvatting met Ray Hudson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3R8_zx9p9g&ab_channel=GC10EXTRADe volledige wedstrijd: https://youtu.be/IPMxipAkvCI?si=RoaawC5mvFaONdjGZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Del 5. Många länder lovar nu att fasa ut kolet, men andra vill fortsätta bryta och elda det mest klimatskadliga bränslet. Att lämna kolet bakom sig är svårt, det vet man inte minst i Storbritannien. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Var fjärde britt beräknas bo ovanpå någon av de gruvgångar som grävdes fram i landets tiotusentals gruvor. Samhällena dominerades fullständigt av kolet och facket löste tvister, och ordnade fritidsaktiviteter och festligheter. Framför allt gav kolet arbete och trygghet.När vi nu besöker kolbygderna i nordöstra England ser vi inte många spår av själva kolgruvorna, men däremot slitna och övergivna små städer med igenspikade hus. Här har istället en av landets största bilfabriker öppnat, där elbilar och batterier tillverkas.Vad och vilka måste offras på vägen ut ur den fossila fällan? I programmet hörs: Ray Hudson, professor emeritus i geografi, specialiserad på kolets ekonomi och politik, Durham University, Mike Ward, f.d. curator, Grampian Transport Museum, Alford.Programmet är en repris från november 2021.

Del 2. Det är världens första riktiga energikris med galopperande vedpriser som får européerna och särskilt britterna att börja gräva upp fossilt kol i stor skala. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Det nya bränslet eldar på övergången från medeltid till tidigmodern tid, när Storbritannien seglar upp som det kommande stora imperiet. Samtidigt tas de första stegen in i industrialismen, där kolet blir avgörande för att de allra första industristäderna ska växa fram i nordvästra England.Det var en revolution i sig när denna ”sammanpressade superved” från underjorden befriade människor från det tidskrävande arbetet att ständigt samla ved, och ytterligare en revolution när de svarta stenliknande klumparna, istället för människors och djurs kroppsstyrka, kunde få maskiner att röra sig. Och så småningom kunde fossilt bränsle också inleda en tredje revolution, den industriella, där detta kombinerades, och skapade nytt välstånd och makt i Storbritannien och andra länder.Men samtidigt krävdes tusentals lågbetalda människors hårda kroppsarbete vid maskinerna, och även om ingen anade att det här var ett viktigt steg mot dagens klimatkris, så märkte folk i industristäderna tydligt de negativa hälsoeffekterna av den svarta röken från de tusentals skorstenarna. ”Folk beskrev det som att kliva in i helvetet”, säger Sarah Baines vid muséet för industri och vetenskap i Manchester.Det här är andra delen i serien "Den fossila fällan - hur vi skapade klimatkrisen".Medverkande: Arne Kaijser, professor emeritus i teknikhistoria, KTH; Ray Hudson, professor emeritus i geografi vid Durham University; Mikael Höök, docent i naturresurser och hållbar utveckling, Uppsala Universitet och Sarah Baines, curator of engineering, The Science and Industry Museum, Manchester.Programmet är en repris från 19/10 2021.Reporter: Björn Gunérbjorn.guner@sr.seProducent: Peter Normarkpeter.normark@sr.se

Del 1. Redan strax efter Kristi födelse bröt och använde romare fossilt kol i närmast industriell skala i England, och tog därmed det kanske första kända steget på vägen mot dagens klimatkris. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. När man ser en bit stenkol är det inte självklart att man förstår att den kan brinna, och ännu mindre att den skulle kunna orsaka klimatförändringar. Men en gång i tiden måste en sådan svart sten hamnat i en brasa och tänt en första mänsklig aptit för fossila bränslen, som sedan växt in i vår moderna tid.Vi besöker kolfälten i norra England där det hela kan ha börjat, och där det finns tydliga spår på att redan romarna bröt och eldade fossilt kol på vad arkeologen Andrew Birley kallar industriellt sätt. Vid fortet Vindolanda bröt romarna också metaller som de använde kolet för att bearbeta, och Birley menar att fossilt kol till och med var viktigt i bygget av Hadrianus mur, som än idag är det största byggnadsverket i Storbritannien.Det här är första delen i serien "Den fossila fällan - hur vi skapade klimatkrisen".Medverkande: Arne Kaijser, professor emeritus i teknikhistoria, KTH; Ray Hudson, professor i geografi vid Durham University, och Andrew Birley, chef för de arkeologiska utgrävningarna vid Vindolanda.Programmet är en repris från 18/10 2021.

“Midnight Magic” and Pure Energy, the R&B/funk/dance group that brought it to life andwill release it September 8, have more in common than creator/creationLisa wrote the vocals and the melody. Curtis Hudson, lead guitarist and vocals, addedthe funk twist, brother Ray Hudson is the bass guitarist, and together they have putsome magic in “Midnight Magic.” The song is a hot, hopping, purely fun dance trackAnd the video tells visual stories of people waking to the magic of midnight, showcasesCurt and Ray in all their glorious funk, and if Lisa's magnificent, soaring vocals don'tlevitate you right off the floor, you might be dead.Pure Energy — Curtis, Lisa and Ray — are also looking for some magic at midnight.The song was written back in the early '80s, when the group was hot but the musicindustry was often geared more toward snuffing fire instead of sparking it.Pure Energy disbanded in 1984, at least as a performing, recording entity.Until this year.“We were always trying to put songs out on other artists,” said Ray. “We decided ‘Hey,we need to try to get some exposure for some of this material we have,' like Madonnaand other people we started working with. And we found that that was working for us.”Madonna and a song she made famous, “Holiday,” illustrate the point. Curtis and Lisawrote “Holiday,” regarded as the single that really launched Madonna's career.“We actually wrote that song for our group, Pure Energy,” said Lisa. “We presented it toour record company, and they said it wasn't a hit. And Madonna did it and, you know,the rest is history.”“We thought we could have done ‘Holiday,' but our record company didn't hear it forus,” said Ray. “That kind of helped us decide we need to go a different direction.”The group formed in the mid-'70s. Their first single, “Party On,” made it to No. 7 on theBillboard Dance Charts. Members of the group served as writers and producers forother artists, including Jean Carne, Maxine Singleton, Wranda Rawlins and LaurieceHudson. Curt wrote and produced “Body Work,” which became a hit for the group Hot Streak onits platinum soundtrack for the movie Breakin'. “Body Work” was also sampled by MissyElliot for her 2005 worldwide hit “Lose Control,” which was nominated for Best RapSong at the Grammys and won a Grammy for best short form music video.Curtis also co-wrote the song “Remember Us” for John Legend, which earned Legend aGrammy for Best R&B Artist in 2021. With his and Lisa's son, Eric Hudson, Curtis alsoco-wrote two songs on the Isley Brothers' new album, Make Me Say It Again Girl. Curtand Eric teamed up to produce “Midnight Magic.”Eric himself is a five-time Grammy winning producer who has written and produced forsuch artists as Whitney Houston, Kanye West, Mariah Carey, John Legend, Usher, andThe Weekend. Now, Lisa, Ray and Curtis are ending almost 40 years of temporary disbandment. They never stopped believing in Pure Energy. They never stopped performing, writing andcollaborating.

Message from Ray Hudson on July 23, 2023

We continue our exploration of Real Hope and the miracles Jesus performed with Ray Hudson, Pastor of City Center Church in Berkeley, Ca. Can God really do anything? What's our role in the equation?

It's safe to say that we're all searching for peace in a world filled with uncertainty. Perhaps you worry about your kids' future, becoming ill, or your finances. Maybe you're afraid of losing your job, not getting into that university you have your heart set on, or a loved one dying. Or perhaps, you have profound regret and shame over mistakes you've made in your life. Whatever your burden, Jesus came to take it all and give you freedom.Join us today as special speaker Ray Hudson reveals how the Bible uses seemingly contradictory imagery to depict Jesus as the Prince of Peace, who turns our worry into confidence, our fear into faith, and shame into assurance!---------------ABOUT “IMAGES OF GOD”What comes to mind when we picture God? Some see Him as a kind old man with a big white beard sitting on a fluffy cloud. Others see Him as an angry, barrel-chested warrior ready to strike them down. Our ideas, perceptions, and notions of who God is are shaped by our culture and experiences, but do they reflect who He really is?The Bible gives countless images and illustrations that paint a picture of God's character. Let us dig deep together into His Word to get a more accurate picture of who God really is in our new series, Images of God.Part 1: God The Father:    • GOD The Father | ...  Part 2: Jesus - Price Of Peace:    • Jesus - Prince Of...  ---------------  ABOUT ECHO.CHURCHEcho.Church is a place to experience community and discover God's purpose for your life.
