Tahiti and the Challenges of Resettling Mai. Guest Author: Hampton Sides. The expedition arrived in Tahiti in August 1777, where the crew was eager for recreation. Cook's primary task was finding a home for Mai, who had returned from England with a hoard of treasures, including muskets and armor. Cook worried about Mai's status as a commoner and tried to arrange a marriage for him to protect his wealth, but Mai refused. Sides also highlights the importance of the "red feather" trade; Cook had discovered that these feathers were a royal currency in the islands, effectively allowing him to "change the economy" to secure supplies. Despite the idyllic setting, Cook's internal pressures and concerns for Mai's precarious future continued to mount. 41850

A Saturday game in May can be both an inconsequential checkmark in a season and a game that can be looked back on as a captivating moment in history. It's impossible to look back at 1972 and ignore the first players' strike that disrupted the first two weeks of the season. Spring training was curtailed, and both hitters and pitchers are still struggling with timing in May. 86 games were wiped from the schedules, never to be rescheduled. The Padres will end up playing just 153 games, while the Mets will play 156.Also looking to find his way in the season is Mets manager, Yogi Berra. Following the sudden passing of Gil Hodges, Berra is finding his feet and beginning to understand the core of the Mets' line-up. It's an intense spotlight that will shine brightly on him during the 1972 season, as the Mets finish a credible third. That core would head into 1973 ready to claim the National League pennant.The biggest name in the Mets' line-up is surely Tom Seaver. He has already posted two 20-win seasons (with 25 wins in 1969 and an on-the-nose 20 wins in 1971) and has a Cy Young to his name. Facing him was seen as a near-automatic loss. Not only that, but his record against the San Diego Padres is even more impressive. In terms of overpowering presence, he's less Mr Terrific and more Mr Terrifying.Can the Padres, with rookie pitcher Bill Grief, hurl the ball and swing the bat to find some magic?Ewan Spence and the Classic Baseball Radio team bring you this recreated radio broadcast from May 6, 1972.

May 9, 2013. Bowling Green, Ohio. The body of 66-year old Dawn Glanz, a retired art professor from Bowling Green State University, is discovered inside her bathroom by her husband, Bob Brown, and the authorities initially believe that she suffered a fatal stroke and died of natural causes. However, before Dawn's body can be cremated, police receive an anonymous tip expressing concern that Bob may have killed Dawn in order to inherit her $2 million estate and a new autopsy reveals that she received a stab wound to the head and the shock caused her to succumb to a heart attack. After Dawn's death is reclassified as a homicide, investigators uncover some troubling holes in Bob's original story, but there is not enough evidence to file charges and her murder officially remains unsolved.  November 22, 2009. Bowling Green, Kentucky. 54-year old Bettina Richmond, a mathematics professor at Western Kentucky University, leaves her home to play racquetball at the Bowling Green Parks and Recreation facility. When she fails to return home, Bettina's husband goes to check the facility's parking lot and discovers that Bettina has been fatally stabbed in the driver's seat of her van. Bettina's university identification badge is later found in a mailbox over two miles away and it is suspected that she was the victim of a robbery gone wrong, but no potential suspects are found for her murder.  On this week's episode of the “Trail Went Cold”, we explore a pair of unsolved murders involving female university professors from Bowling Green in both Ohio and Kentucky.

New details surrounding The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake suggest Nintendo may be creating a faithful recreation of the original game rather than completely reimagining it. Tonight, we discuss what a potential 1:1 remake could mean, which elements Nintendo should modernize, and whether Ocarina of Time needs major gameplay changes at all. We'll also cover the latest Nintendo news, rumors, and updates on tonight's Nintendo PowerCast. What do you want from the Ocarina of Time remake: a faithful recreation or a complete reimagining? #Zelda #OcarinaOfTime #NintendoSwitch2 #Nintendo The available wording points toward updated visuals and designs while preserving the original game's “timeless gameplay,” but Nintendo has not officially confirmed that it will be a literal 1:1 remake.

What happens when an ancient religion that forbids any new rules gets caught secretly reinventing itself in plain sight? Can God still create something new? At the climax of Korach's rebellion, Moses declares: "If God creates a new creation..." (Numbers 16:30) But that single phrase opens a theological fault line running through all of Jewish thought. Did creation end after the six days of Genesis? Or does God continually recreate the world every day? Key Takeaways 1. Judaism Contains Two Opposite Visions of Creation When Moses says, "If God creates a new creation" (Num. 16:30), the commentators divide sharply. Ibn Ezra, Pirkei Avot, and Maimonides insist that nothing genuinely new can be created after the six days of Genesis; even miracles were programmed into creation from the beginning. Yet our daily prayers proclaim that God "renews each day, continually, the work of creation." Judaism preserves a profound tension between a completed universe and a world that is constantly being recreated. 2. The Rabbis Distrusted Miracles but Celebrated Renewal The rabbis were uncomfortable with the idea of God repeatedly suspending the laws of nature. The Mishnah teaches that the earth's mouth that swallowed Korach was created before the first Sabbath, and Maimonides extends that principle to all miracles. Judaism's faith is not built on supernatural interventions but on discovering meaning within creation. At the same time, Jewish spirituality embraces continual renewal—every sunrise, every month, and every generation offers the possibility of a new beginning. 3. Judaism Often Creates New Ideas While Claiming Nothing Is New The Talmud transforms Korach's descent into Sheol into a descent into Gehenom, effectively introducing a richer doctrine of divine judgment into the biblical story. The irony is striking: while citing "There is nothing new under the sun" to reject new creations, the rabbis themselves were expanding and reimagining Judaism. From Gehenom to the synagogue, from the Passover Seder to fixed prayer, Judaism's history is one of creative renewal. Perhaps the greatest innovation in Jewish history is the insistence that Judaism does not innovate.

Park maintenance departments face a common problem: There is too much to do and not enough time and resources to do it. Maintenance managers face difficult decisions about what work needs to be done and what has to be shelved for another day.   But there's a problem… Deferring maintenance can end up costing much more in the long run. Equipment breakdowns. Program cancellations. Expensive repairs. Emergency overtime work. Maintenance backlogs aren't unique to the parks and recreation industry. There are, however, unique circumstances park maintenance departments face that can contribute to deferred maintenance. In this Episode of the Productive Parks 5-Minute Podcast, learn more about maintenance backlogs, reasons park districts and agencies fall behind, and some practical steps to address deferred maintenance. __________________________________________________________________________ The Productive Parks 5-Minute Podcast is for busy professionals working to change the game in Parks and Recreation.

Mike Schur is a TV writer and producer best known for creating Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and The Good Place. He also worked on The Office and played Mose, Dwight's delightfully odd cousin. Impressive credentials, of course—but most importantly to us, he's a massive baseball fan. That may even be underselling it. Mike joins Tim Kurkjian and Jeff to talk baseball, including the fact that both he and Tim were at Pedro Martínez's legendary 17-strikeout game against the Yankees. Was that the greatest pitching season ever? The three also dive into their shared love of storytelling and why the best baseball stories often stick with us as much as the games themselves. Is it any surprise that one of television's great writers appreciates a great story? Schur also praises the Brewers for their knack for pulling off incredible trades and shares his deep admiration for Shohei Ohtani, encouraging everyone to appreciate just how remarkable a player he is. And, of course, there's Mike's new book, Big Fan: Two Friends, 82,490 Miles, and the Wild, Wonderful Sports We Love, co-authored with sportswriter Joe Posnanski. Released in May 2026, the book explores fandom across sports, music, and beyond, celebrating the passion that brings people together. Pick up a copy online or wherever books are sold. One quick editorial note: this episode was recorded on June 10, just one day before Jeff and his wife, Emily, welcomed their son, Bodie, into the world.

This week, host Margaret Walls welcomes Celso Ferreira and Elizabeth Van Dolah on the podcast to talk about building resilience in coastal communities that are vulnerable to sea level rise. Ferreira, a professor at George Mason University, and Van Dolah, an environmental anthropologist and community engagement expert, were members of an interdisciplinary research team that aimed to construct nature-based solutions to flooding problems in the rural municipality of Pocomoke City, Maryland. Throughout the process, the team consulted with an advisory committee of community members who weighed in on the project—and the local input shaped the researchers' conclusions in surprising ways. In this episode, Ferreira and Van Dolah reflect on how continuous engagement with impacted communities can help identify overlooked ecosystem values and result in improved outcomes for people and the surrounding environment.

In each of these films, Deri deals with personal themes of Love & Sacrifice. While each film has had distribution, it was his latest independent film, FINDING FOREVER IN LOVE (2015), that has pushed his writing, directing, and producing endeavors to new heights with a distribution deal at Robert Johnson's streaming channel, Urban Movie Channel. He has since gone on to co-write web series, independent films, and television series, as well as produce a screenwriter's book entitled, The Film Mechanic: The Process to Writing A Screenplay That Works. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts from Chicago State University and a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing (Class Salutatorian) from Full Sail University. As a 2017 and 2018 Fulton County Arts & Culture grant recipient in Atlanta, GA, he began The Film Mechanic Screenwriting Class which teaches writers the process and business of screenwriting. Deri's truest goal is to tell universal stories through his experiences of being Black in America.BioDr. India Dorsey Gaston, Ph.D., artistically known as Indi Tyton, is an internationalsinger-songwriter, filmmaker, educator, and entrepreneur whose career bridges the creative andbusiness sides of the entertainment industry.

The Sacramento County Board of Supervisors meeting on June 9, 2026, covered a wide range of topics, including public health updates, significant policy changes regarding behavioral health and homelessness, and new regulations for animal keeping. Community and Public Health Presentations The meeting began with an adoptable pet update, featuring a six-month-old dog named Penelope Le Piu from the Bradshaw Animal Shelter. The shelter reported a successful "California Adopt a Pet Day," with 68 pets adopted in a single day. The Sacramento-Yolo Mosquito and Vector Control District provided its annual presentation, emphasizing the management of West Nile Virus. Manager Gary Goodman highlighted the use of the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), which involves releasing male mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia bacteria to reduce the population; this program is expanding to 120 acres in the Rosemont area this year. Additionally, the department promoted Family Health and Fitness Day (the second Saturday in June), which includes activities such as nature walks, yoga, and trail accessibility equipment demonstrations. Public Comment Highlights Wesley Trummel praised the Parks and Recreation commissioners but urged the Board to protect the park system's budget during upcoming deliberations. Darryl Turrell, a Riverside County resident, advocated for an ordinance to curb catalytic converter theft, proposing a "one and you're done" policy to hold thieves accountable. Edrick Brown shared his personal journey of rehabilitation after a 23-year prison sentence and introduced "Public Bridge," a program aimed at "rewiring" youth to prevent them from entering the justice system. Behavioral Health and Homelessness A significant portion of the meeting was dedicated to the Behavioral Health Services Act (BHSA) Integrated Plan for FY 2026-29. This new plan, mandated by Proposition 1, shifts prevention funding to the state and requires the county to allocate 30% of its BHSA funds to housing interventions. The Board discussed the "sunsetting" of several local programs to meet these new funding requirements, though they committed to a temporary contract with WellSpace to maintain the 988 suicide prevention line until state funding is clarified. The 2026 Homeless Point-in-Time (PIT) Count results sparked intense debate. While the county saw an overall 13% increase in homelessness, the unincorporated area experienced a 130% increase. Board members expressed deep frustration with the "slow pace" of county action and the perceived failure of current strategies. Chair Rodriguez explicitly called for a change in leadership and a forensic audit of homeless spending, stating that the county lacks a clear vision and a sense of urgency. Ordinances and Public Safety Crowing Fowl Ordinance: The Board introduced amendments to regulate roosters in urban and suburban areas. Prompted by over 800 complaints regarding noise and inhumane conditions like tethering, the new rules set maximum limits based on lot size and include a registration process for legitimate hobbyists. Music Festival Agreement: The Board approved a 10-year agreement with Danny Wimmer Presents to keep major music festivals like Aftershock and Golden Sky at Discovery Park. Tourism and hotel representatives testified that these events generate millions in economic impact and significant hotel tax revenue. Military Equipment (AB 481): The Sheriff's Office, District Attorney, Probation, and Park Rangers presented their annual military equipment reports. The Sheriff's Office requested authorization to eventually replace its 2008 Bearcat armored vehicle, which has reached the end of its 20-year lifespan. Public Meeting Disruptions: In compliance with SB 707, the Board adopted new procedures for handling service disruptions during remote public participation, including a mandatory one-hour minimum recess if the telephonic or audio-visual systems fail. Administrative and Closing Matters The Board approved several consent items, including a $10 million amendment for architectural services at the Sacramento International Airport due to unforeseen underground conditions and FAA line-of-sight issues. The meeting concluded with a reminder of the county's illegal fireworks campaign, featuring increased fees and a 311 reporting system, and an adjournment in honor of Joaquin Razzo, a dedicated community volunteer and singer.

The CPG Guys are joined in this episode by Chris Peterson, President, CEO & Board Member of Newell Brands, a major American global consumer and commercial products conglomerate. Headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, the company manufactures, markets, and distributes over 50 well-known brands across three core segments: Home & Commercial Solutions, Learning & Development, and Outdoor & Recreation.This episode was recorded at Newell Brands headquarters in Atlanta.Follow Chris on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-peterson-488930114Follow Newell Brands online at: https://www.newellbrands.com/Chris answered these questions: Chris, at CAGNY, you spoke extensively about an enterprise AI program you internally call "Quantum Leap". You mentioned that in mid-2025, you shifted this from isolated use cases into a broader "how work gets done" workflow model. Can you talk to us about the genesis of Quantum Leap and what it looks like today?That scale is incredible, Chris. One thing that stood out to me during your recent Leadership Summit 2026 was your mention of 33 functional "navigators". It sounds like a massive cultural shift to build AI fluency across the enterprise. How do these navigators act as change agents inside their functions?Let's talk about the tangible outputs because the numbers you shared at CAGNY were staggering. You noted a 500% increase in AI-enabled digital content creation in 2025 versus 2024, entirely without any additional investment. How has AI accelerated your innovation pipeline from concept to launch?You can't run advanced AI without clean data, and Newell has done a massive amount of simplification. You've cut your active SKUs by over 80% and rationalized the brand portfolio from 80 down to just over 50 brands. By the fall of 2026, 95% of your global sales will be supported by a single instance of SAP. How critical is that ERP integration to feeding the Quantum Leap program?Chris, driving a transformation of this magnitude isn't just about technology; it's about the people executing it. Newell Brands has a very clear set of core values: Integrity, Teamwork, Passion for Winning, Ownership, and Leadership. As CEO, how do you lean on these principles to guide your 24,000 teammates around the world through such a massive operational and cultural shift?You've been driving a unified "One Newell" go-to-market model and consolidating what used to be five separate operating segments into just three. How does the value of "Teamwork"—which you define as "Succeeding Together"—play into breaking down those legacy silos?Thinking about the industry, how do you expect AI to impact shopping and agents to guide consumers? What's your advice to retail?Chris, this has been an absolute masterclass in enterprise AI adoption and operational leadership. What advice would you give others embarking on the AI journey?CPG Guys Website: http://CPGguys.comFMCG Guys Website: http://FMCGguys.comSheCOMMERCE Website: https://shecommercepodcast.com/Rhea Raj's Website: http://rhearaj.comLara Raj in Katseye: https://www.katseye.world/DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast episode is provided for general informational purposes only.

Nicotine use is rising in young people Nicotine use among youth and young adults is rising according to the Centers for Disease Control with nicotine pouch use by people under 21 nearly quadrupling from 2022 to 2025. Nicotine is the highly addictive chemical stimulant found in tobacco. In 2024, almost 8% of high schoolers said they had used an e-cigarette in the past month, and more than 2% had used nicotine pouches. Some place the rise in use on health influencers on social media, who say nicotine has natural benefits such as better focus or claim it can prevent Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. Others say nicotine is a better alternative to smoking tobacco, since its non-carcinogenic and comes in fun flavors like mint and now fruit, approved by the Food and Drug Administration last month. Even U.S. Health and Human Services director Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said last year that nicotine pouches are "probably the safest way to consume nicotine." But is there any safe way to consume nicotine? Many health experts are concerned about this reframing, and its impact on young people. On Thursday's "Sound of Ideas," we'll ask local public health officials about this trend and ask about the role of nicotine on our health.

WORT 89.9FM Madison · The Line Between Recreation and Medication is Finer than You Think Today Professor Nicholas Powers joins Ali Muldrow in a conversation about his new book, Black Psychedelic Revolution. Psychedelics such as LSD and ketamine are beginning to gain popularity as increasing evidence supports promising treatments of psychological conditions, trauma, and changing one's autobiographical narrative. They also heard from callers who shared transformational personal experiences while using psychedelics. What is the difference between recreation and medication? Powers suggests that the line may be finer than you think. The idea is that recreational activities like art, poetry, or even psychedelic drugs can be healing. Powers also noted that the most safe way to have a psychological experience is in a controlled and safe environment with a guide. If a person is in a state of trauma or depression, the chemicals from these drugs might lead to a further inability to cope once the trip is over, and that is when these drugs can become addictive. However, Powers emphasized that it's the prior state of trauma that creates the addiction rather than the drug itself. Powers said that the way these psychedelic drugs work is by inhibiting the ego, which leads to questioning core beliefs and the stories you were told about your life. This is why after a psychedelic trip, people often change their previously held beliefs. It is also why people tend to change their beliefs the most during college. During the transition period between being reliant on your parents and becoming an independent adult, young people question the stories that they were told. Powers encourages this kind of discussion in his college classrooms and asks his students to try to find the truth in their experiences. Additionally, there is a surge in the glamorization of drugs and removing the stigma associated with them. Drugs such as ritalin or adderall are given to children at younger ages reducing the stigma for using drugs to treat mental health, but there is still a sense that they are necessary. Powers says there is a delicate balance between maintaining a healthy skepticism about the medical industry without denying its benefits entirely. He encourages people to always think about who is profiting, whether from criminalizing marijuana or giving ritalin to four year olds. The discussion ended with the positive experiences that can come from having a controlled psychedelic experience. Some examples included helping alcohol addiction, understanding the core reasons why a marriage ended, finding peace and answers within the counterculture of the 1960s, and becoming a more compassionate person.  Nicholas Powers is an Associate Professor of English at SUNY Old Westbury. Powers has presented talks and reports from the Psychedelic Renaissance since 2017. He has written for numerous psychedelic publications from Lucid News to Double Blind. Alongside published articles, he has given talks at Naropa University and Chacruna. Powers has published three books with Upset Press. The first is a book of poetry, the second a mix of reportage from disaster zones, protests, and Burning Man. The third is a political vampire novel. He regularly attends Wild Seeds Writers Retreat and Cave Canem Black poetry workshops. Powers lives in Brooklyn with his son. Did you enjoy this story?
