Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 23ú lá de mí Eanair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 2003 bhuaigh Andy Roddick an Australian Open. Bhí sé an chluiche is faide riamh. D'imir siad nach mór 5 uair a chloig. An cluiche is faide riamh I Melbourne. I 2012 shiúil Eve Hewson ar an chairpéad dhearg do chéad uair ag An Fhéile Scannán Sundance. Bhí sí ann chun a scannán This Must Be The Place a chuir I láthair. I 2003 bhí an chontae ag iarradh onóir a thabhairt chuig Brian Boru. Bhí an Brian Boru Spire ag dul chuig Baile Átha Cliath agus chosain sé níos mó ná 4 milliún euro. Mhol Hugh King an ghluaiseacht den spire I mBaile Átha Cliath agus ceangail a dhéanamh dá fréamhacha sa chontae seo. I 2012 léigh na mílte daoine ó Mheiriceá faoin chontae agus iarthar an tír sa Huffington Post. Tháinig Richard Bangs chuig an chontae agus rinne sé aird a tharraingt chuig an chontae leis an chultúr, bia agus áiteanna le dul. Sin Jessie J le Domino an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2012. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1971 bhí George Harrison an chéad amhránaí ó The Beatles chun amhrán a bheith aige chun dul chuig uimhir a haon. Chuaigh an t-amhrán My Sweet Lord chuig uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain. I 2014 gabhadh Justin Bieber nuair a bhí sé ag tiomáint a Lamborghini I gcoinne charr eile I Miami. Dúirt na póilíní ní raibh sé ag éisteacht leo nuair a stop siad é. Chomh maith leis sin ní raibh a cheadúnas I ndáta. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Ray Elliot I mBéal Feirste I 1939 agus rugadh aisteoir Ewen Bremner san Albain I 1972 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for June 12, 2023 is: inchmeal INCH-meel adverb Something done inchmeal is done gradually, or little by little. // They worked on the study guide inchmeal up until the exam. See the entry > Examples: “Dawn climbs inchmeal, the sky suffused with light so extravagant it seems stolen.” — Richard Bangs, HuffPost, 8 Aug. 2013 Did you know? “All the infections that the sun sucks up / From bogs, fens, flats, on Prosper fall, and make him / By inch-meal a disease!” So goes one of the curses the hated and hateful Caliban hurls in the direction of Prospero in Shakespeare's The Tempest. The origin of inchmeal is simple; the inch half is the familiar measurement, and the meal half, which means “by a (specified) portion or measure at a time,” is the suffix we know from inchmeal's much more common synonym piecemeal. Students of German may be interested to know that -meal is related to the modern German word mal, meaning “time,” which features in the common term manchmal, meaning “sometimes.”
Richard Bangs is an adventurer and co-founder of the international guiding company Sobek. Enjoy Richard Bangs!

Leading Steep: Richard Bangs In this episode, Barry sits down with author, TV host, and world traveler Richard Bangs. Once referred to as “Indiana Jones with a conscience” by Expedia.com founder Rich Barton, Richard fashioned a multifaceted, adventure-filled career spanning over 50 years promoting travel that positively impacts the world. Listen in as Richard shares his journey from local river guide to internationally-renowned globe-trotting explorer. He reflects on his interpretation of guide culture, which to him is a combination of openness and curiosity both to the world around you and toward your guests, and the collaboration between each and every member of the group you are traveling with. Richard also shares his thoughts on risk, and how one tragic accident early in his career forced him to reevaluate everything he was taught as a guide. Finally, Richard touches on his many TV projects and business ventures, both past and present. Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: ● [3:26] Richard's early days as a river guide ● [6:29] Traveling internationally ● [10:47] The most memorable of Richard's 35 first raft descents ● [14:20] Comparing outdoor adventures to the business world ● [15:55] What guide ethos means to Richard ● [20:55] The unique bond that every guide forms with their guests ● [25:02] Traits that made certain guides stand out to Richard as great leaders ● [27:37] Richard's most challenging situations throughout his countless travels ● [35:09] Working with various guides of various disciplines in many different countries ● [36:46] Richard recalls his time rafting the Zambezi ● [41:31] Of the 19 books Richard has written, which one would he recommend first? ● [44:14] Richard's involvement with MT Sobek and his various TV and business ventures Key Quotes by Richard:● “The most apt comparison between [the adventure world and the business world] is being able to embrace the unknown, and actually finding an element of excitement and joy in chaos. [...] If you find meaning, purpose, and clarity in chaos, then you likely can find success.”● “I think that there are many important elements of ethos when it comes to the guide culture and what makes a successful guide. But there are two that come to mind. One is an innate curiosity. [...] The second one is teamwork.”● “If you can learn to face adversity in some manner, particularly in the wilderness, it will be something that becomes an ingrained lifelong process for dealing with issues through the rest of your life outside the wilderness.” Resources Mentioned:● The Lost River by Richard Bangs● MT Sobek● Steller app#guide #guiding #whitewater #river #rafting #climbing #mountaineering #guidelife #tripleadertuesday #sobek #mountaintravel

Facebook Twitter Instagram The Outdoor Biz Podcast Please give us a rating and review HERE Show Notes Introduction to the Outdoors I grew up on the East coast outside of Washington DC and it's not that far from a number of really profound wilderness experiences. Practically in my backyard was the Potomac River and that's really where I got started on rivers. I used to, to raft down the great falls section of the Potomac, which is a wild section in a canoe there. And then not much further, you get to add the Shenandoah's and the Appalachians and the Blue Ridge mountains. So we used to go climbing, hiking, caving. We did a lot of spelunking. So almost every weekend when I was in high school, we would take off with a group of friends we would explore the remote offerings of the region and had a blast every time. Things we talked about Richard Bangs- Keep The Quest Alive Adventures With A Purpose Richard Bangs Books Mountain Travel Sobek The Canoe Cruisers Association Ted Hatch John Yost George Went Oars The Explorers Club in New York Mungo Park Expedia Steller App Other Outdoor Activities Biking Hiking Advice I would say find your passion, right? Because I know that there are many circumstances where it doesn't work out, but sometimes it does. And if the passion is strong enough you become enterprising enough to try to figure out how to do it. We were constantly, constantly challenged with how to get around the next bend, you know, as a company, um, as a guide, you know, from rivers to the boardroom. You had to navigate all the bends. If you believe in what you're pursuing enough, you figure out a way. And that's what we did. Favorite Books/Podcasts Horizon by Jerry Lopez King Solomon's Mines by H.

I’ve been enjoying bringing you conversations with interesting guests sharing travel stories and don’t worry we have three more interviews coming up with David Hertz, Angela Sun and Richard Bangs to close out season one. As I promised in the intro episode I was going to share some of my travels throughout the year and how travel has always shown up for me when I needed it. Something else I shared in the intro episode was I lost my job the end of January and I was thinking travel was going to play a big part of my life for the next few months. This episode is some of my thoughts, experiences and meaningful moments from travels my travels over the first six months of 2019. I found doing the interviews so much easier. Which means I’m going to have to lean into being even more vulnerable on my next solocast. Hope you enjoy…see you on the open road! Mike Angela Sun David Hertz Richard Bangs

We have a 2 speed economy – 21st Century high paying jobs with continual learning and 20th Century low paying jobs with no learning. Most of the unemployed belong to the latter category. These jobs are never coming back. What must we do to get the Government and private enterprise to support and encourage entrepreneurs and early stage and startup businesses? Its simple, its logical. Lets motivate that 1% to spring into action and save this economy!! It is not red tape that kills entrepreneurial businesses, it is their lack of knowledge of how to do business. Don't miss this discussion. We answer your emails and feature two great guests – Richard Bangs, tour organizer for the rich and famous and Ben Arthur, singer, songwriter, novelist and video program producer.
