This special episode explores the incredible legacy of businessman and visionary philanthropist Julius Rosenwald. How he was born to German Jewish immigrants, rose to become the President of Sears Roebuck and the meaningful way that his legacy continues to live on and have meaningful impact to this day…! Inspired by the Jewish ideals of tzedakah (charity) and tikkun olam (repairing the world) and a deep concern over racial inequality in America, Rosenwald used his wealth to become one of America's most effective philanthropists. Influenced by the writings of the educator Booker T. Washington, Rosenwald joined forces with African American communities during the Jim Crow era to build 5,300 schools, providing 660,000 black children with access to education in the segregated American South. The Rosenwald Fund also provided grants to support a who's who of African American artists and intellectuals and numerous artists that Eric represents and promotes, including Elizabeth Catlett, Jacob Lawrence, William Artis and others who were greatly helped by Rosenwald Foundation funds.   Featuring Community Leader Roger Smith; Eric's cousin from Virginia - from the very school that Eric's Mother attended that was built thanks to the generosity of Rosenwald that is an historic landmark… They discuss how Dunbar Schoolhouse came about, how the building itself had been assembled and how Roger, alongside his Family have been instrumental in restoring and maintaining the school. Preserving its history through an on-sight museum  — committed to keeping the story of Dunbar Schoolhouse alive..! The various wonderful community programs that they currently run and the significant role that the school plays in the community.  Filmmaker Aviva Kempner joins Eric from Washington. They discuss her feature-length historical documentary about Julius Rosenwald entitled “Rosenwald: A Remarkable Story of a Jewish Partnership with African American Communities” and all the wonderful things she learned in the process of making the film.  They discuss Rosenwald's background and life — the role of his Rabbi and how it motivated his philanthropic efforts… meeting Booker T. Washington and the strong friendship that they forged.  Realizing the need for and power of education as a way to uplift communities and becoming involved in building schools in the rural south. Addressing the needs for housing brought about by the Great Migration, funding the building of housing and YMCAs for African Americans and supporting countess artists and intellectuals including Marian Anderson, James Baldwin, Ralph Bunche, W.E.B. DuBois, Katherine Dunham, Ralph Ellison, John Hope Franklin, Zora Neale Hurston, Jacob Lawrence, Dr. Charles Drew, Augusta Savage, and Langston Hughes. His genius in “matching grants”, the way it made the community feel self-empowered and invested in the mission.  The theory of ‘spending down' and how its principles helped inspire other philanthropic institutions. The unique design and ingenuity of the building construction… the power of community and how his work continues to live on today. They explore what lead to her making movies — from being the daughter of a Holocaust Survivor, a passionate activist and viewing movies as a powerful tool to educate people. The many films she's made throughout her life and is in the process of producing and her dedication to telling stories that celebrate the lives of lesser-known Jewish heroes for over forty years…! For more on Eric's Perspective, visit www.ericsperspective.com#ERICSPERSPECTIVE #AFRICANAMERICAN #ART Connect with us ONLINE:  Visit Eric's Perspective website: https://bit.ly/2ZQ41x1 Facebook: https://bit.ly/3jq

Justin Roebuck, a county clerk in the swing state of Michigan, has a license plate that says ‘'I voted.” Roebuck first began volunteering as an election worker at age 16. Now, he oversees the election process in Ottawa County. But not everyone in his county shares his faith in the voting system. Like election officials all around the United States, he's gotten accustomed to a high degree of skepticism about his integrity — and the elections he oversees. And he's on a mission to restore the trust that's been lost. So how did trust break down? And what's at stake if it can't be restored in a place like Ottawa County?Go to audible.com/news where you'll find Peter Bergen's recommendations for other news, journalism and nonfiction listening.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Last time we spoke about the fall of Saipan. General Smith's coordinated attacks on June 27th led to significant progress, with the 4th Marine Division notably advancing. The 27th Division encountered resistance, and casualties rose. By early July, Americans gained ground, pushing toward Marpi Point. Japanese resistance remained fierce, but American forces steadily advanced, capturing strategic positions. The assault on Petosukara was swiftly countered, but intense action unfolded in the Makunsha region. The 3rd Battalion, 24th Marines faced a fierce enemy thrust, with over 200 attackers killed. Facing defeat, General Saito ordered a suicidal assault, resulting in a chaotic and desperate charge. Despite heavy losses, American forces repelled the onslaught. The battle lasted until midday on July 7, with sporadic skirmishes continuing. Efforts to persuade cave occupants to surrender intensified, yet many civilians chose mass suicide. Saipan was declared secured after extensive casualties on both sides.  This episode is the battle of Noemfoor  Welcome to the Pacific War Podcast Week by Week, I am your dutiful host Craig Watson.

While the 3rd Battalion, 503rd Parachute Regiment was being airdropped on July 4, Colonel Sandlin's 3rd Battalion continued eastward through scattered minefields toward Kornasoren Drome, meeting no resistance. Simultaneously, the 1st Battalion crossed the Kamiri River and occupied Kamiri village without encountering any opposition. Moving out of Kamiri, the American forces followed a southeastern road to a sizable Japanese garden area, where they faced resistance on Hill 201.  The Japanese garden area was about 600 yards long, east and west, and 350 yards across, north to south. The ground was devoid of large trees except for a few atop Hill 201, but thick, secondary jungle growth covered the eastern and southern slopes of the hill, while the rest of the garden area was overgrown with partially cultivated papaya, taro, and cassava, all averaging about eight feet in height. The trail from Kamiri village passed over the southern slope of Hill 201, and 300 yards away, near the eastern edge of the gardens, joined the main road from Kamiri Drome to Namber Drome, located about six miles to the south. Another trail ran along the eastern side of the hill, branching to the north and northwest at the northeastern corner of the low terrain feature. To counter this, a double envelopment tactic was initiated, with Company C seizing Hill 180 to the north while Company B pushed the Japanese southeast over Mission Hill, a lower terrain feature situated southeast of Hill 201. By 15:15, the battalion secured the ground on both flanks of Hill 201 and consolidated around the hilltop for the night, establishing a tight defensive perimeter. At 05:20 on July 5, the Japanese launched an attack along the southern and southeastern sides of the perimeter with mortar support. The American forces responded with a deadly barrage of mortar and artillery fire, driving the enemy back and neutralizing their machine-gun positions. Some Japanese managed to get through the mortar and artillery barrages and continued up the sides of the trail from the south through fire from Company D's machine guns. The enemy found cover behind a low, 150-yard-long log fence which led from the southeast toward the center of the 1st Battalion's defenses. While the fence afforded some protection, the attacking infantrymen were silhouetted as they tried to clamber over the top. The main body of the attacking force therefore kept down behind the fence, trying to crawl along it to the top of the hill. Advancing cautiously, the attackers encountered sustained machine-gun and rifle fire from the defenders atop the hill, as the fence did not extend beyond the outer defenses of the 1st Battalion. The assault quickly deteriorated into a sequence of small suicide charges carried out by groups of three to six Japanese soldiers. The 1st Battalion now sent patrols out over the battlefield. From prisoners it was determined that the attacking force had consisted of 350 to 400 men--the 10th and 12th Companies, 219th Infantry, reinforced by approximately 150 armed Formosan laborers. During the morning over 200 dead Japanese were counted around the 1st Battalion's perimeter, and the number of enemy dead found or enemy wounded captured on subsequent days along trails leading south from the hill indicated that virtually the entire original attacking force had been annihilated.    By 06:30, the skirmish had concluded, with over 200 Japanese casualties tallied. Following this engagement, operations on Noemfoor transitioned into a series of patrol activities as Allied forces extended their dominance over the island and rapidly expanded the airfield facilities. On the morning of July 6, Sandlin's 2nd Battalion executed an amphibious landing on the deserted Namber Drome following a brief naval bombardment. By July 10, intensive patrolling had only encountered small Japanese groups, leading Patrick to conclude that no significant organized enemy presence remained on Noemfoor. To eradicate the remaining opposition, the 503rd Parachute Regiment was dispatched to the island's southern sector while the 158th addressed the northern half. By the end of August, Sandlin's efforts had resulted in the death of 611 Japanese soldiers, the capture of 179, the loss of 6 American lives with 41 wounded, and the liberation of 209 slave laborers.  The Japanese had never brought the Melanesians of Noemfoor entirely under their control, for the natives had either offered a passive resistance or had faded into the interior to live off the land. A few were impressed into service by the Japanese, while others who were captured but still refused to cooperate were executed. The natives greeted the Allied landings with great enthusiasm and came out of hideaways in the hills carrying Dutch flags which they had concealed from the Japanese. Under the direction of the Netherlands Indies Civil Administration, the natives were gradually resettled in their old villages. Late in July the village chiefs gathered in formal council and officially declared war on the Japanese. Thereafter, native cooperation increased. Up to August 31 the natives had captured and brought to Allied outposts more than 50 Japanese and had killed another 50. One tale of horror concerns the Javanese on Noemfoor. According to information gathered by the NICA Detachment, over 3000 Indonesians were shipped to Noemfoor in late 1943, mostly from Soerabaja and other large cities on Java. The shipment included many women and children. The Japanese, without regard to age or sex, put the Javanese to work constructing roads and airfields almost entirely by hand. Little or no clothing, shoes, bedding, or shelter was provided, and the Javanese had to supplement their very inadequate allowance of rations by shifting for themselves. Driven by hunger, many attempted to steal Japanese rations but for their pains were beheaded or hung by their hands or feet until dead. Starvation and disease took a steadily increasing toll. The dead were periodically collected for mass burial, and survivors alleged that many of the sick were buried alive. It was considered probable that not more than 10 or 15 Javanese were killed accidentally by Allied forces. Yet only 403 of the 3000-odd brought from Java were found alive on Noemfoor by August 31.  Meanwhile, Colonel Jones pursued the remnants of Colonel Shimizu's Noemfoor Detachment to Hill 670 in the south. From July 13 to 16, both sides engaged in fierce combat for control of the hill, with the Japanese ultimately managing to evade capture. Contact was reestablished on July 23 near Inasi, but Shimizu eluded capture once more. The primary Japanese force was finally located on August 10 near Hill 380, prompting Jones' 1st and 3rd Battalions to converge in an attempt to trap the enemy. However, on August 15, Shimizu once again evaded capture, slipping away towards Pakriki. Although the Japanese forces were either captured or eliminated by August 17, Shimizu evaded capture or death and remained at large by the operation's conclusion. Jones' forces endured 57 fatalities and 302 injuries, but managed to neutralize over 1100 Japanese soldiers and apprehend approximately 560 individuals, while liberating an additional 194 enslaved laborers. This brings the total casualties for the Battle of Noemfoor to 1730 Japanese casualties, with 740 taken prisoner, and 63 American fatalities, 343 wounded, and 3 missing, alongside the liberation of 403 slave laborers. Transitioning to the developments on the Aitape front post-Operation Persecution, significant changes occurred under General Gill's command starting May 4. The defensive setup in the Aitape region was revamped, and Colonel Howe's 127th Regiment bolstered its eastern positions, with the Nyaparake Force extending patrols to the Danmap River. However, General Nakai's advance forces arrived in early May. Shortly after 2:00am on 14 May, after a short preparation by grenades, light mortars, and light machine guns, 100 to 200 Japanese of the 78th Infantry, 20th Division, attacked from the east against the coastal sector of the perimeter. This assault was broken up by rifle and automatic weapons fire and by lobbing mortar shells to the rear of the advancing enemy group. The Japanese disappeared into the jungle south of the narrow beach. For the next hour Captain Fulmer's mortars placed harassing fire into suspected enemy assembly points east of the small stream. Meanwhile, the eight-man outpost reported that many small parties of Japanese were moving up the beach within 300 yards of the main perimeter and then slipping southward into the jungle. Such maneuvers seemed to presage another attack. The second assault came about 0330, this time against the eastern and southeastern third of the defenses. The Japanese were again beaten back by small arms and mortar fire, but at 5:00am they made a final effort which covered the entire eastern half of the perimeter. This last attack was quickly broken up and the Japanese quieted down. About 7:30am on the 14th, elements of Company A, 127th Infantry, began moving into the forward perimeter to reinforce Captain Fulmer's beleaguered units. The 1st Platoon of Company C and the 81-mm. mortar section also moved forward in preparation for continuing the advance. General Martin took charge of the East Sector on the same day, relocating all troops except the Nyaparake Force to the west bank of the Driniumor River. The East Sector forces were supplied by a variety of methods. Units along the coast were supported directly by small boat from BLUE Beach or by native ration trains moving along the coastal track. Supplies to the Afua area went south from the coast along the Anamo-Afua trail or, later, over the inland track from the Tadji fields through Chinapelli and Palauru. Wheeled transport was impracticable except along short stretches of the coastal track. In early June, when the Japanese ambushed many ration parties which attempted to reach Afua, experiments were made with air supply from the Tadji strips. Breakage and loss were heavy at first, but air supply rapidly became more successful as pilots gained experience and ground troops located good dropping grounds. A dropping ground cleared on the west bank of the Driniumor about 2200 yards north of Afua soon became the principal source of supply for troops in the Afua area. Communications during operations east of the Driniumor were carried out principally by radio, but between units along the river and from the stream back to higher headquarters telephone became the principal means of communication. Keeping the telephone lines in service was a task to which much time and effort had to be devoted. The Japanese continually cut the lines, or American troops and heavy equipment accidentally broke the wires. The enemy often stationed riflemen to cover breaks in the line, thus making repair work dangerous. Usually, it was found less time consuming and less hazardous to string new wire than to attempt to find and repair breaks. As a result, miles of telephone wire soon lined the ground along the trails or was strung along the trees in the Driniumor River area and back to the Tadji perimeter. Despite this adjustment, Nakai escalated pressure, advancing beyond Yakamul by month's end. In response, Gill replaced the Nyaparake Force with the 1st Battalion, 126th Regiment, which swiftly recaptured Yakamul and Parakovio. Despite initial success, Nakai's forces launched a heavy counterattack in early June, reclaiming Yakamul by June 5.   In the meantime, additional Japanese units had been conducting exploratory missions inland against Afua since the beginning of the month. However, Howe's 1st Battalion ultimately succeeded in repelling them. This allowed Martin's forces to establish an outer defensive line along the Driniumor River. From there, they continued forward patrols toward the Japanese lines. While the 41st and 51st Divisions struggled to move personnel and supplies to the forward assembly area, Nakai efficiently organized a counter-reconnaissance screen along Niumen Creek to prevent East Sector troops from gathering intelligence about deployments farther east. On June 20, due to the increasingly dire situation in Western New Guinea, the 18th Army was suddenly transferred from 2nd Area Army control to the direct command of the Southern Army. Although General Terauchi's directive was to execute a "delaying action at strategic positions," General Adachi opted to adhere to his original plans for a westward offensive. He was determined to maximize the effectiveness of his forces while they still possessed fighting capability, aiming to divert as much enemy strength as possible away from the Western New Guinea battlefront. Sensing an imminent heavy enemy assault, Generals Krueger and MacArthur decided to reinforce Aitape with General Cunningham's 112th Cavalry Regiment, arriving on June 27, and Colonel Edward “Ted” Starr's 124th Regiment, expected to arrive in early July. They also expedited the shipment of the 43rd Division from its New Zealand staging area to Aitape, necessitating the establishment of Major-General Charles Hall's 11th Corps. Upon assuming command of the task force on June 29, Hall reorganized his forces and implemented several troop redeployments in preparation for the looming enemy attack. By June 30th, Adachi had completed concentrating his forces in the assembly area. Consequently, he swiftly initiated preparations for launching an attack against the Driniumor River line on July 10th. His strategy involved Colonel Nara Masahiko's 237th Regiment crossing the river and launching an assault westward towards Koronal Creek, and northwest to clear Anamo and other Paup villages. Meanwhile, the 78th and 80th Regiments were tasked with clearing the Afua area and advancing all the way to Chinapelli. Success in this endeavor would pave the way for Japanese units to advance towards the Tadji airstrips. Furthermore, a Coastal Attack Force was designated to carry out a diversionary maneuver along the coast, aiming to engage the enemy and constrain them with artillery fire. In early July, as the Japanese finalized their preparations, Hall and Martin made the decision to dispatch robust patrols east of the Driniumor to the Harech River. However, these patrols were only able to advance as far as Yakamul, where they encountered only the enemy's forward units. Consequently, on July 10th, Hall and Martin ordered the 1st Battalion, 128th Regiment, and the 2nd Squadron, 112th Cavalry to conduct a reconnaissance mission across the Driniumor. Subsequently, the infantry faced significant resistance as they pushed towards Yakamul, while the cavalry's progress was limited to about a mile due to the dense jungle terrain. Despite these efforts yielding disappointing results, a captured Japanese soldier disclosed that their attack was imminent that night. However, this critical piece of information was mistakenly disregarded by the American command, leaving Adachi and Nakai poised to launch their counteroffensive. Around midnight, the assault commenced with the 1st Battalion, 78th Regiment charging across the Driniumor River, facing Company G of the 128th Regiment along a narrow front.  The Japanese attacked in two or three screaming waves, broadening the front after the first assault by throwing in the rest of the 78th Infantry and possibly elements of the 80th Infantry. Japanese reconnaissance had been good--the attackers knew the locations of company and battalion command posts all along the American defenses but not quite good enough. The enemy did not know that Company G had been reinforced during the afternoon of 10 July nor, apparently, had he discovered that the company's front was protected by low barbed wire. The attacks of the 78th Infantry were thrown back with heavy losses. Machine gun and mortar fire from the 2d Battalion, 128th Infantry, accounted for many Japanese, numbers of whom were caught as they tried to cross the barbed wire in front of Company G. According to Japanese sources, the results of American artillery fire were even more disastrous. As soon as the enemy attack had begun, the 120th and 129th Field Artillery Battalions had started firing previously prepared concentrations along the bed and east bank of the Driniumor. The Japanese units in or near the impact areas suffered heavy casualties. The 1st Battalion. 78th Infantry, was quickly reduced from 400 to 30 men, principally as a result of the American artillery fire, which also destroyed large numbers of artillery weapons, machine guns, and mortars. Despite this, the Americans, skillfully backed by artillery support, ultimately repelled them with significant casualties. Following this initial repulse, Martin concluded that a reconnaissance in force was unnecessary and ordered the units involved to retreat behind the Driniumor River. Confusion among many Japanese units, arriving late, had delayed the commencement of the 80th Regiment's attack, which was directed at Company E and was similarly pushed back. But a second wave of attackers, probably comprising the 237th Infantry and heretofore uncommitted elements of the Right Flank Unit, began pouring across the Driniumor toward Company E at approximately 0200. The new attackers overran the company command post and surrounded most of the unit's widely separated strong points. Fighting continued in the company sector for a little while, but the unit could not long withstand the overwhelming enemy pressure. Company organization and communications broke down. Worse still, the troops began to run out of ammunition. A general withdrawal commenced. By 03:00, the Japanese had breached a gap approximately 1300 yards wide in the American lines, physically occupying that territory. Fortunately, the following hours remained relatively calm as the 78th and 80th Regiments regrouped to the south to resume the offensive. This lull enabled Martin to dispatch the 1st Battalion, 128th Regiment to counterattack along the Anamo-Afua trail, aiming to reinforce the 2nd Battalion's positions. Initially encountering no resistance for the first 1500 yards, the Americans were eventually halted by intense enemy fire at 10:30, compelling them to retreat back to Tiver. This fierce opposition convinced Martin that the enemy could advance directly westward with minimal hindrance towards the Tadji strips unless he abandoned the Driniumor River line. He decided to reorganize his forces along the secondary delaying position at the X-ray River-Koronal Creek line, preparing for further counterattacks against the Japanese. Accordingly, while Company F maintained their position along the coast, the 128th Regiment began to fall back towards the creek. Further south, Cunningham opted to withdraw his cavalrymen in two stages, successfully reaching X-ray by midnight. However, communication issues delayed Howe's 3rd Battalion, with most of the unit arriving at the river the following day. A small contingent had to engage in combat with Japanese forces and couldn't reach X-ray until July 13. Despite this, Krueger and Hall disagreed with the decision to abandon the Driniumor, promptly deploying the 124th Regiment for a potential counterattack. Martin, who was instructed to hold his position, was replaced by Gill, assuming direct command of the divided covering force, now split into North and South Forces. However, before the American counterattack could commence, Nara's infantry launched an assault towards Tiver and Koronal Creek on July 12. The 128th Regiment successfully repelled them after a fierce confrontation. Meanwhile, Adachi dispatched the main body of the 41st Division and the reserve 66th Regiment towards the Driniumor, augmenting pressure on the Paup coast. To the south, Nakai's units gathered across the river near Afua and Kwamrgnirk, preparing for a final northward push. Finally, at 07:30 on July 13, the American counteroffensive commenced as the 1st Battalion, 128th Regiment swiftly moved from Tiver to Chakila, only to be ambushed by Japanese artillery. Nevertheless, precise artillery counterfire silenced most of the enemy artillery, enabling the Americans to advance eastward toward the mouth of the Driniumor. Meanwhile, the 124th Regiment under Starr's command advanced southward along the Anamo-Afua trail, facing strong opposition from the 237th Regiment. Despite encountering resistance, they managed to reach the river, although still positioned considerably north of their designated centerline. Cunningham's South Force began its eastward movement from the X-ray River at 10:00, successfully overcoming enemy positions along several stream crossings to reach the Driniumor near Afua. Consequently, all original crossing points on the Driniumor fell to the Allied forces, isolating the 20th Division and the 237th Regiment several miles west of the river's bank. By nightfall, Nara had regrouped his 237th Regiment for another assault on the 2nd Battalion, 128th Regiment. Company E demonstrated its combat effectiveness by holding firm and repelling the Japanese forces, with the rest of the battalion successfully defending against subsequent small-scale attacks, marking the conclusion of Nara's offensive actions. The following morning, Gill's forces consolidated their defensive positions along the reformed river line, albeit with a 1500-yard gap remaining in the center. Yet this all for today with Noemfoor as we now need to head over to the India-Burma theater. The final phase was coming for the Battle of Imphal. By the start of July, the reopening of the Imphal–Kohima Road facilitated the resupply of the 4th Corps, enabling them to launch an offensive against the fatigued and under-resourced troops under General Mutaguchi's command. Additionally, three brigades from General Stopford's 33rd Corps advanced from the north, swiftly joining General Gracey's 20th Division in an endeavor to reopen the Ukhrul Road. Under intense pressure, General Yamauchi's battered 15th Division units hastily abandoned Tongou and Sokpao, leading to the 80th Brigade occupying Lamu by July 2. The next day, the ailing general, who had long fallen out of favor with Mutaguchi, was carried from the battlefield on a stretcher and later died in a hospital at Maymyo. Lieutenant-General Shibata Uichi replaced him and promptly prepared the 51st and 67th Regiments to retreat. To cover their withdrawal, the newly arrived and utterly exhausted 60th Regiment was tasked with attacking towards Lamu, while General Miyazaki's troops assembled behind Ukhrul. However, the 60th Regiment was so weakened that its attacks were easily repelled, and the 67th Regiment retreated in disorder, leaving the 51st encircled. On July 8, Colonel Omoto's troops fiercely broke through the encirclement in three columns, allowing Stopford's brigades to finally overcome Japanese resistance at Ukhrul and capture the town. This forced Shibata to regroup his forces along a new line from Lungshong through Sangshak to Sakok, ultimately enabling the British-Indian forces to reopen the Ukhrul Road by July 10. With both supply roads reopened, the arrival of Stopford's brigades from the north, and the Japanese forces nearly routed, General Slim decided it was time to go on the offensive. Slim's plan involved the 33rd Corps taking over the Shenam Saddle and the Tamu–Palel Road while the 4th Corps cleared the Japanese from the Silchar Track and the Tiddim Road. On the other hand, Mutaguchi was still planning a combined attack on the Palel area involving the 15th Division, remnants of the 31st Division, and some units from the 33rd Division. Although he issued an attack order, the divisions were too battered to comply. The overall situation of the 15th Army went from bad to worse and the only hope remaining was to rally the 31st at Humine, give the troops a few days rest and then, after a reorganization, to dispatch them to the northern flank of the Yamamoto Detachment to capture Palel. In early July the 31st Division was concentrated in the area east of Myothit but discipline had disintegrated to the point that the Division could scarcely be termed a combat force. The Torikai Unit was organized with the 138th Infantry Regiment (less one battalion); the 2d Battalion, 124th Infantry Regiment and one artillery battalion to reinforce the Yamamoto Detachment. At the same time,the 15th Army ordered the 33rd Division to attack Palel from the south with the 214th Infantry Regiment. The newly formed Torikai' Unit, however, failed to join the Yamamoto Detachment and the order for the 33rd to attack Palel was never carried out. Consequently, on July 9, General Kawabe had no choice but to order preparations for a withdrawal to a line connecting the Zibyu Mountains, Mawlaik, Kalewa, and Gangaw. Mutaguchi intended to begin the retreat on July 16, directing the 15th Division towards Sittaung, the 31st Division to Thaungdut, and the 33rd Division to Tiddim, while the Yamamoto Detachment would hold the Shenam Saddle until July 24 and then retreat to the Kuntaung-Moreh line to cover the main Army's withdrawal from the Kabaw Valley.   On the southwest front, General Tanaka's forces had already started retreating from the Bishenpur area, leaving a small covering force at Ningthoukhong to prevent a pursuit by the 17th Division. As a result, General Cowan's brigades made limited progress against the stubborn rearguard, ultimately securing Ningthoukhong on July 16 after heavy bombardment, coinciding with Mutaguchi's general withdrawal. By the middle of July, Japanese resistance centered on Ningthoukhong Kha Khunou. A small hamlet about 300 meters wide and 500 meters long, it lay to the immediate south of Ningthoukhong. Despite probing attacks by the 48th Indian Brigade's infantry and artillery firing on their defenses, the Japanese held on. Finally, in the early hours of 16 July, this small space was subjected to what some describe as one of the heaviest artillery concentrations yet in the Burma Campaign; in the space of an hour, approximately 9,000 shells were fired on Ningthoukhong Kha Khunou. Fortunately for the Japanese, they had withdrawn from the village just before the shelling began. By the time it ended, the village had been completely flattened and was pockmarked with waterlogged craters. And so the last Japanese stronghold in the Imphal Valley was taken. The 63rd Indian Brigade also reached and occupied the Laimanai area around the same time. The 5th Indian Division, the other division in the reconstituted IV Corps, now took over and commenced the chase of the Japanese 33rd Division down the road towards Tiddim.  The 5th Division, now led by Major-General Geoffrey Evans, continued the pursuit while Stopford's brigades harassed the disordered retreat of the 15th and 31st Divisions. Despite their efforts, the 15th and 31st Divisions reached Thaungdut by early August, and the 33rd Division managed to assemble around Chikha by mid-August, under significant pressure and the serious threat of having their withdrawal route cut off. The 33rd Division distinguished itself by displaying almost superhuman fighting power and repeatedly launched counterattacks against the pursuing British-Indian 5th Division. The Yamamoto Detachment, however, had failed to cover the Yazagyo area and, in mid-August the 33rd Division found itself the vicinity of Chikha facing the serious threat of having its route of withdrawal cut by the enemy which was infiltrating into the Yazagyo area from Moreh and Shuganu through the Kabaw Valley. On the south-eastern approach to Imphal, the two armies continued to face each other on the Shenam Saddle. Yamamoto Force remained in place on these heights and the front line was still on Scraggy. It was in the second half of July that a final, concerted effort was made to evict Yamamoto Force and push it down the Tamu–Palel Road towards the India–Burma frontier. Led by the 23rd Indian Division , the operation involved five brigades in a three-pronged attack. The central thrust was by the 37th Indian Brigade on the Shenam Saddle, with the support of all available artillery and tanks; the 5th British Brigade was deployed behind it and readied to provide assistance. D-day was to be 24 July. The 1st Indian Brigade was sent through the hills on the right, to arrive behind the saddle. The two were to push the Japanese back on the road. It was hoped their withdrawal route would be cut by the 49th Indian Brigade, which would arrive on the road after looping in from the far left; the 268th Indian Brigade would be to its left, protecting its flank.    Before the Japanese could retreat, the 49th Brigade had cut off General Yamamoto's withdrawal route by looping in from the far left. However, Mutaguchi had sent Colonel Sato Genpachi's reserve 61st Regiment to Tamu, which quickly counterattacked and reopened the route. Consequently, Yamamoto withdrew to Moreh, allowing Roberts to swiftly capture Nippon Hill and Scraggy. Within two days, the 23rd Division advanced down the road, forcing the Yamamoto Detachment to retreat toward Mawlaik on July 30. This marked the end of the Battle of Imphal and Operation U-Go, the Japanese Army's largest land defeat. Estimates vary, but about 30,000 Japanese soldiers died and 23,000 were injured during the operation, including 6,000 killed at Kohima and 16,000 at Imphal. Additionally, the INA lost about 2,000 dead and 2,000 wounded. On the other hand, the British-Indians suffered 16,000 casualties, with over 12,000 at Imphal. Though Mutaguchi's plan was initially effective and nearly succeeded in capturing Imphal, he underestimated the enemy's ability to resist his troops and quickly bring reinforcements. Slim's overall strategy for Imphal succeeded, as the Japanese overextended themselves from the Chindwin River to the Imphal Valley, just as he had predicted. A crucial factor in the British-Indian success was the air support, which kept the 14th Army supplied despite the road to Kohima being cut off. Ultimately, in an attempt to thwart a potential British-Indian advance into Burma, Mutaguchi's 15th Army was utterly decimated by the failed attempt to capture Imphal. This failure allowed Slim to seize the moment and launch a rapid offensive into Burma, countering the Japanese U-Go plan. The Allies thus gained the upper hand, marking the beginning of the end for Japanese control over Burma. As a final note for this week by late July, Admiral Somerville executed Operation Crimson, a coordinated naval and air assault on Japanese airfields in Sabang, Lhoknga, and Kutaraja. Departing Trincomalee on July 22, Somerville's Task Force 62, comprising two carriers and four battleships, arrived off Sabang on the morning of July 25, ready to commence the bombardment. On 5th July 1944 the carriers Victorious and Indomitable arrived in Colombo. The former sailed with Illustrious on 22 July for Operation ‘Crimson', a bombardment of Sabang by the battleships over which the carrier-borne aircraft were to provide cover and take photographs of the damage. Illustrious embarked the same aircraft as before with Victorious for a total of thirty-nine Corsairs; together they comprised 47 Naval Fighter Wing commanded by Lieutenant Commander Turnbull. The force assembled for the operation was designated TF 62 and the carriers were supported by Queen Elizabeth, Valiant, Renown, Richelieu, Nigeria, Kenya, Gambia, Ceylon, Cumberland, Phoebe, Tromp, Relentless, Rotherham, Racehorse, Raider, Roebuck, Rocket, Rapid, Quilliam, Quality and Quickmatch. The submarines Templar and Tantalus were deployed to ASR positions. The carriers operated only thirty-five miles north of Sabang, not far from the battleships, which approached their bombardment positions at 06:40. The initial launch was planned for thirty-three minutes before sunrise but this proved to be too early as the morning was exceptionally dark and the launch was delayed for five minutes. Even then it was too early and the form-up was clumsy and slow, delaying departure. The fighters were briefed to attack Sabang, Lho Nga and Kotaraja airfields but 1838 NAS made a bad landfall since maps lacked detail and no photographs were available. When the target airfields were found it was still too dark for accurate strafing but the enemy was alert and opened fire as soon as aircraft came within range. To aircrew accustomed to the excellent intelligence material by then available in the Home Fleet, this caused concern and it had to be accepted that it was difficult to obtain good targets without losing the element of surprise. At very low level on a dark morning, flying at 400 knots with flashes from antiaircraft gunfire all around, camouflaged aircraft in revetments were inconspicuous and the strafing runs were not a success. One Corsair was shot down but the pilot was rescued. Concurrently, the battleships targeted harbor facilities and military barracks at Sabang, while cruisers and destroyers shelled radar and wireless stations and engaged enemy shore batteries. After the main bombardment, the destroyers Tromp, Quality, Quickmatch, and Quilliam entered Sabang harbor, attacking Japanese positions and launching torpedoes, sustaining light damage from return fire. On the return journey, two enemy reconnaissance aircraft were intercepted and shot down by fighters. Additionally, ten Zeros attacked Somerville's convoy but were intercepted by 13 Corsairs, leading to two Zeros being shot down and another two damageFollowing this engagement, British pilots noted that the Japanese airmen were not as proficient as they had been in 1942.  Although Operation Crimson's outcomes were not spectacular, Somerville's final offensive was still deemed successful enough. Due to health concerns, he was subsequently transferred to diplomatic duties at Admiral Mountbatten's request. Currently, Admiral Mountbatten was moving toward a complete rearrangement of the higher officers in SEAC. From the time of his arrival in the Far East, he had had trouble with his three commanders in chief. When the Imphal crisis arose, Mountbatten was dissatisfied with General Giffard's conduct of operations, and when he later found Giffard taking what Mountbatten considered a highly negative approach toward an aggressive conduct of operations he resolved to ask for Giffard's relief. Mountbatten's relations with Admiral Somerville had been equally difficult. Somerville had refused to treat him as a Supreme Commander and in Mountbatten's opinion tried to make him simply the chairman of a commanders-in-chief committee. As for the RAF commander, Air Chief Marshal Peirse, Mountbatten was not seeking his relief because he did not wish to change all of his principal subordinates simultaneously. After his relief, Somerville was placed in charge of the British naval delegation in Washington DC in October 1944 where he managed—to the surprise of almost everyone—to get on very well with the notoriously abrasive and anti-British Admiral Ernest King, the United States' Chief of Naval Operations.

The Battle of Noemfoor was just getting started, seeing General Douglas MacArthur not giving the Japanese a moment to catch their breath. Meanwhile the battle for Imphal was finally coming to a bitter end as Mutaguchi's megalomaniac operation was clearly a disaster.

On Thursday September 23rd, 2021, the Hermetic Hour with host Poke Runyon will review Journey to the Castle (2021) by Ann Finnin who will join us on the show to guide us recalling her journey to find the roots of Traditional British Witchcraft. As most of us know modern British witchcraft is divided between Gardnerian and Robert Gravesian branches. The Gravesian branch springing mostly from Bill Gray and Robert Cochcrane (Roy Bowers) and imported to America by Joe Wilson as the Order of 1734. Dave and Ann Finnin's Coven of the Roebuck grew out of 1734 but they wanted to get to the real roots of their inspiration. Go to England, meet the elders, walk the lay lines, visit the castles. Learn the truth first hand. This book recalls that quest, documents their discoveries and presents Ann's insights on the meanings and significance of this most shamanic form of modern witchcraft. If you want to know how to cross the moat tune in and take notes.

Many may look at Germaine Roebuck Jr. (Buck) as a professional basketball player and think "oh, he's always been good at ball..." Well let me tell you (or better yet, why don't you let Buck tell you), that this most certainly was NOT the case.  Buck rarely saw the floor in high school, but he kept working. He believed in himself and in his own abilities. He found his way to a college program and continued to work. Something many athletes in today's world don't want to do. When they don't see the results immediately, they end up giving up, rather than betting on themselves and trusting the process.  Buck KEPT WORKING!! He found himself improving in every place he played. Not every place was a perfect scenario for him, but he kept working.  After college he ended up getting an opportunity to play at the professional level overseas. He continued to work (noticing a theme here?)  Today you'll get to hear of his story and the lessons he's learned along the way. We'll also learn about his playing time in the BAL (Basketball Africa League) and how the talent level was over there.  At the time of this recording, Buck is recovering from an Achilles Injury that he sustained in the off-season. He's currently putting in work to recover and get back on the court fully healthy to continue his career and his passion!  Tap in today and learn all about it. And make sure to give Buck a follow on social media so you can watch the rest of his journey along the way!  Also, major shoutout to my friend Keshawn Liggins for the assist with this interview. He's the one who connected us both.

Stories such as the case of Julius Rosenwald, who in the tense days pf the early 19th Century was concerned that kids from African American families in the South were denied educational opportunities because of segregation laws. Rosenwald, who had achieved wealth at the managerial level of the Chicago based Sears and Roebuck company, became a major philanthropist and used much of his wealth to fight social problems. He cooperated with educator Booker T. Washington to help fund schools throughout the South that gave opportunities to minorities.  Kenneth Hoffman, the executive director of the New Orleans-based Museum of the of Southern Jewish Experience, joins Louisiana Life Executive Editor Errol Laborde to tell the story of the Rosenwald schools, a movement that was eventually responsible for approximately 5000 new two-classroom schools. Of the schools built in Louisiana one building, in Donaldsonville, still stands and is used as a museum with an incredible story to display.

In this week's history segment, WGN Radio's Dave Plier and WGN news anchor Dave Schwan talk about Julius Rosenwald (1862-1932), best known as a part-owner and leader of Sears, Roebuck and Company, for establishing the Rosenwald Fund, which donated millions in funds to build over 5,000 schools in the South, and promoted vocational and technical education in underserved […]

Isaac Singer had 2 passions, being a travelling actor, and inventing and improving things. He used one to fund the other. Dave Young: Welcome to The Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. Here's one of those. [Seaside Plubming Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to The Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young here alongside Stephen Semple. Stephen, you told me that we're, we're going back in time. We're revving up the time machine again to look at a brand that's been around, boy, a long time. I'm anxious to find out how long, because I know it was around in Pioneer Times. Because when you read old books or Little House on the Prairie or look at an old Sears and Roebuck catalog, you could buy a Singer sewing machine. Singer is the brand that we're going to talk about. It's sort of been synonymous with sewing machines for long as I know. Stephen Semple: Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, it was founded in 1851 in New York. Dave Young: There we go. Stephen Semple: By Isaac Singer. But while we still know about them today, they are not the force they used to be. They used to be huge. For example, when they built their headquarters in New York, at the time, it was the world's tallest building. They had a massive building in Russia. They had a huge factory in Scotland. At the time, it was one of the largest factories in the world. They were massive. When Isaac Singer died in 1875, his fortune was estimated to be $14 million, which is over a billion dollars today in today's month. Dave Young: That's in a period of 25 years or so, right? Stephen Semple: Right. Dave Young: That's amazing. Stephen Semple: Isaac Singer was born in 1811 near Schaghticoke, and I'm butchering the name because it's one of these ones that's like an S and an H and a G and a T and a H and a K in New York. Basically it's in Northern New York near the border of Vermont. Today, it's still a small town of only about 8,000 people, so I can't imagine how tiny it was back in 1811. At the age of 19, he's an apprentice to a machinist, and at the same time he becomes a touring actor. He spent much of his life being a touring actor. He was married. He had a son. He moved to New York where he worked in a press shop. But I got to say this, not a loyal guy. He went on tour again and married again. This happened several times. He had multiple wives who did not know about each other. This happened several times. But this time he had an idea. He went and worked for a little while as a laborer clearing boulders on the Illinois-Michigan canal. He's clearing away rocks on the canal, and this gives him an idea to design and patent a rock drilling machine that he sold for $2,000. He created this patent, designed it, sold the patent, and he used this money to set up another touring company. He goes out touring again, and he runs out of money, and eventually he's back in New York where he set up a shop making wood type signs. He patented a type cutting machine for those big wooden signs that we used to see. Singer's landlord is a guy by the name of Orson Phelps was making sewing machines, and it turns out they were hard to make. They were not reliable, and there were lots of returns and unhappy customers. Singer was not getting any orders for his type cutting machine, so he takes a look at the sewing machines. Dave Young: It seems like there would be a lot more people that need to sew something than to cut signs. Stephen Semple: You would think. Yeah, you would think. Dave Young: That seems like a consumer market as opposed to business t...

Today on The Three-Inning Save podcast, Eric Stephen and Jacob Burch look back at pitcher Ed Roebuck, the former Dodgers reliever who was a rookie on the 1955 Brooklyn team that won the first World Series in franchise history, and was used heavily down the stretch as the Dodgers lost the pennant to San Francisco in 1962.

Michigan has found ways to use NIL to cover tuition for more “walk-ons” and effectively raise their scholarship limit. This is good for Michigan, for players, for the game, for everybody but smaller schools, and solves issues that used to occur when there was more of a crunch (e.g. with St-Juste). Jadyn Davis: has been falling because his Elite 11 showing was middle of the pack, but that's not his game: winning games is his game. Tate Forcier-like. Jordan Marshall a Charbonnet-esque h2h vs Ohio State. Ka'apana is a glider who can catch. Zach Ludwig is related to Ben Herbert and is a fullback: sold. Goodwin and I'Marion Stewart are okay WRs but not game-changers. Michigan's offense limits them here. 2. Hot Takes, Tight End and Offensive Line starts at 35:33 Hogan Hansen is the rare high schooler who can block in high school, Brady Prieskorn is ranked even higher, but they are still Michigan Tight Ends™. The OL are a lot of guys OSU might not have recruited except the two tackles, but M loves its maulers. Of them we're stoked about Sprague, who's got Jake Long basketball highlights. Hamilton and Roebuck are guards, Frazier is the RT, Guarnera the center. 3. Defensive Line starts at 1:05:09 Unfortunately Wafle isn't pronounced Waffle. Fortunately Beigel (not bagel) is blowing up. Both have length, which the program loves. So does Hammond who's a build-a-bear. Edge is a mix between high floors (the Smith bros and Nichols) and ceilings: Baxter (a Taco) and Rudolph (an Uche). 4. Defensive Back Seven starts at 1:22:16 Looking for cornerbacks. Waiting on Aaron Scott, whose head says Michigan and dad says OSU. Might take just two this cycle because 2025 is a load-up year. Linebackers are all do-everythings. We love Jerod Smith's tape, Curtis and Sullivan are defensive ATHs, Beasley is a Don Brown LB (RB-ish, quick burst). Are Belleville guys a bit sus? Safety is Jacob Oden; Rod Moore minus the extra equals Tyree Kinnel. MUSIC: "Jerry Rice"—BabyTron "Groceries"—Carrtoons "Nobody Wants me"—Robert Lester Folsom “Across 110th Street”

Welcome back to another episode of "The Secret to Success" podcast. In today's episode, we delve into the art of making yourself stand out in a crowded marketplace. Drawing inspiration from "The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing" by Al and Laura Ries, we explore key strategies to differentiate yourself from the competition and establish a unique position in the minds of your customers.Here are key points discussed in this episode.1. Create a Distinct Category:  - Discuss the importance of creating a category in which you can be the first and foremost player.  - Emphasize the need for a category that is supported by a singular word, making it easier for customers to associate your brand with a specific concept.2. Be the Opposite of the Leader:  - Highlight the strategy of fighting against the market leader by positioning yourself as their opposite, rather than attempting to be better than them.  - Explain how this approach can help you carve out a distinct niche and attract customers who are seeking an alternative to the market leader.3. Avoid Line Extensions:  - Share insights from "The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing" regarding the risks of brand extensions.  - Discuss the idea that your brand is not necessarily the one that works, but rather the association with something.  - Encourage listeners to focus on building associations and connections that resonate with their target audience.4. Study Customers, Market, and Trends:  - Emphasize the importance of conducting thorough research to understand your customers, market dynamics, and emerging trends.  - Discuss the concept of finding the "one move" that will have the greatest impact on your brand's success.  - Encourage listeners to analyze their customers' needs and preferences, identify gaps in the market, and adapt their strategies accordingly.In a competitive business landscape, it's crucial to make yourself stand out from the crowd. By following the principles outlined in "The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing," you can create a unique category, position yourself as the opposite of the leader, avoid ineffective brand extensions, and make strategic moves based on customer insights and market trends. Join us next time as we continue to uncover the secrets to success in various aspects of life and business.Here are notes for this class:Day 2Making Yourself Stand Out The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing by Al and Laura Ries     Create a category that you can be first in — and make sure that the category is supported by a singular word. Fight the leader by not being better, but being their opposite. Don't extend your brand through line extension; it rarely works. Plus, your brand is not the one that works, it's the association with something. Study your customers, market and trends to find the “one move” that works.The Law of Leadership – It's better to be first that is it is to be better.The first person to fly across the Atlantic was Charles Lindbergh. Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the moon. Roger Bannister was the first person to run the four minute mile.What are the names of the people who accomplished these feats second?Bert Hinkler was the second man to fly across the Atlantic. Buzz Aldrin followed Neil Armstrong onto the moon's surface. John Landy was the second man to run a mile in less than four minutes (only six weeks after Bannister did).While you may have heard of Aldrin, you're most likely not familiar with the names Hinkler and Landy.Similarly, the leading category in any brand is almost always the first brand into the prospect's mind. Hertz with rent-a-cars. IBM with computers. Coca-Cola in cola.After WWII, Heineken was the first imported beer to make a name for itself in America. Decades later, it's still number one. Advil was the first Ibuprofen and is still number one. Time still leads Newsweek. Coke leads PepsiIf you're second in your prospects mind you'll languish with the Buzz Aldrins, John Landys and Bert Hinklers of the world.In spite of the benefits of being first though, most companies tend to wait companies until a market develops and then they jump in.Chapter 1: The Law of Leadership It's better to be first than it is to be better. The basic issue in marketing is not convincing prospects that you have a better product or service. The basic issue in marketing is creating a category you can be first in. It's much easier to get into the mind first than to try to convince someone you have a better product than the one who got there first. The leading brand in any category is almost always the first brand into the prospect's mind. E.g Hertz in rent-a-cars, IBM in computers, Coca-Cola in cola. Not every first is going to be successful. The timing could be an issue — for e.g your first could be too late. Some firsts are also just bad ideas that will never go anywhere. E.g Frosty Paws, the first ice cream for dogs. The law of leadership applies to any product, brand or category. Imagine you didn't know the name of the first college founded in America. You can always make a good guess by substituting leading for first. What's the name of the leading college in US? Most people would say Harvard, and that is indeed the name of the first college founded in America. One reason why the first brand tends to maintain its leadership is that the name often becomes generic. Xerox, the first plain-paper copier became the name for all plain-paper copies. Kleenex. Coke. Scotch tape.The Law of the Category – If you can't be first in a category, set up a new category you can be first in.-Antonio set up a newer category when it comes to business and he is the first in it. Who else do you know that is doing what he is doing?While Bert Hinkler's name is not a household word, I'm sure you know the name of the third person who successfully flew across the Atlantic Ocean. Her name was Amelia Earhart. The first female to fly across the Atlantic.If you can't be first in a category, set up a new category you can be first in.Charles Schwab didn't open a better brokerage firm; he opened up the first discount broker. Lear's isn't the best selling woman's magazine; they're the best selling magazine for mature women. Dell wasn't the biggest computer company; they're the biggest computer company to sell their computers over the phone.Chapter 2: The Law Of The Category If you can't be first in a category, set up a new category you can be first in. Example: What's the name of the third person to fly the Atlantic Ocean solo? You probably don't know. Yet you do. It's Amelia Earhart. But she isn't known for that. She is known as the first woman to do so. IBM was the first in computers. DEC competed by becoming the first in minicomputers. Cray Research came up with the first supercomputer. Today, Cray is an $800 million company. Convex put two and two together and came up with the first mini super-computer. Today Convex is a $200 million company. You can turn an also-ran into a winner by inventing a new category. Commodore was a manufacturer of home PCs that wasn't going anywhere until it positioned the Amiga as the first multi-media computer. There are many different ways to be first. Dell was the first to sell computers by phone. When you launch a new product, the first question to ask yourself is not “How is this new product better than the competition?”, but “First what?” Forget the brand. Think categories. Everyone is interested in what's new. Few people are interested in what's better. When you're the first in a new category, promote the category. In essence, you have no competition.The Law of the Mind – It's better to be first in the mind than to be first in the marketplace.First personal computer was the MITS Altair 8800. Duryea was the first automobile. Du Mont is the first commercial TV set.What's going on? Is the just mentioned Law of Leadership wrong.Not at all. Here's the thing …IBM wasn't first in the marketplace with a mainframe computer, Remington was.However, IBM began a massive marketing campaign to get into people's mind first and when they did they won the computer battle early.Being first in the mind is everything in marketing. Being first in the marketplace is important only to the extent that it allows you to get into the mind first.Chapter 3: The Law Of The Mind It's better to be first in the mind than it is to be first in the marketplace. The law of the mind modifies the law of leadership. Being first in the mind is everything in marketing. Being first in the marketplace is important only to the extent it allows you to get in the mind first. Marketing is a battle of perception, not product, so the mind takes precedence over the marketplace. The problem for would-be entrepreneurs is getting the revolutionary idea or concept into the prospect's mind. The conventional solution is money. But it's not. More money is wasted in marketing than any other human activity. You can't change a mind once it's made up. The single most wasteful thing you can do in marketing is try to change a mind. Having a simple, easy-to-remember name helps get into prospect's minds.The Law of Perception – Marketing is not a battle of products, it's a battle of perceptions.Some marketers see the product as the hero of the marketing program and that you win and lose based on the merits of your products.Ries and Trout disagree – what's important is the perceptions that exist in the minds of your prospects and customers. They cite as an example the three largest selling Japanese imports, Honda, Toyota and Nissan.Most people think the battle between the three brands is based on quality, styling horse power price. Not true. It's what people think about Honda Toyota and Nissan which determines which brand will win.Chapter 4: The Law of Perception Marketing is not a battle of products, it's a battle of perception. It's an illusion. There is no objective reality. There are no facts. There are no best products. All that exists in the world of marketing are perceptions in the minds of the customer or prospect. The perception is the reality. Everything else is an illusion. Marketing is a manipulation of these perceptions. Most marketing mistakes stem from the assumption that you're fighting a product battle rooted in reality. What some marketing people see as the natural laws of marketing are based on a flawed premise that the product is the hero of the marketing program and that you'll win or lose based on the merits of the product. This is why the natural, logical way to market a product is invariably wrong. Only by studying how perceptions are formed in the mind and focusing your marketing programs on those perceptions can you overcome your basically incorrect marketing instincts.The Law of Focus – The most powerful concept in marketing is owning a word in the prospect's mind.A company can become incredibly successful if it can find a way to own a word in the mind of the prospect.Federal Express was able to put the word ‘overnight' in the minds of their prospects. Xerox owns ‘copier'; Hershey owns ‘chocolate bar'; Coke owns ‘cola'; Heinz owns ‘ketchup'; Crest owns ‘cavities'; Volvo owns safety; Nordstrom's owns service.The word should be simple and benefit oriented. One word is better than three or four.Words can change ownership. In the early days of the personal computer, Lotus owned the word ‘spreadsheet'. Now it belongs to Microsoft thanks to ‘Excel'.Chapter 5: The Law Of Focus The most powerful concept in marketing is owning a word in the prospect's mind. Not a complicated word, or an invented word. Simplest words are the best, words taken right out of the dictionary. You “burn” your way into the mind by narrowing the focus to a single word or concept.Just Do It. The Best Part of Waking up…. Prime Membership.   The law of leadership enables the first brand or company to own a word in the mind of the prospect. The leader owns the word that stands for the category. For e.g IBM owns the word “computer”. If you're not a leader, your word has to have a narrow focus. Your word has to be “available” in your category. No one else can have a lock on it. The most effective words are simple and benefit-oriented. No matter how complicated the product, no matter how complicated the needs of the market, it's always better to focus on one word or benefit rather than two or three or four. While words stick in the mind, nothing lasts forever. There comes a time when a company must change words. You can't take somebody else's words. What won't work is leaving your own word in search of a word owned by others. The essence of marketing is narrowing the focus. You can't stand for something if you chase after everything. You can't narrow the focus with quality or any other idea that doesn't have proponents for the opposite point of view. For example: You can't position yourself as an honest politician, because nobody is willing to take the opposite position.Once you have your word, you must go out of your way to protect it in the marketplace.The Law of Exclusivity – Two companies cannot own the same word in the prospect's mind.When a competitor owns a word or position it's futile to own the same word. For instance Volvo owns the word ‘safety'. Many automakers have tried to wrestle that word away from them, but none have been successful.Energizer tried to wrestle ‘long lasting' away from Duracell. But Duracell got in people's minds first.Chapter 6: The Law Of Exclusivity Two companies cannot own the same word in the prospect's mind. It's wrong to think that if you spend enough money, you can own the idea.The Law of the Ladder – The strategy to use depends on which rungs you occupy on the ladder.The primary objective is to be first, but if you're not – all is not lost.Avis lost money for 13 years in a row when they used the slogan “Finest in rent-a-cars”. It wasn't until they changed it to “Avis is only No.2 in rent-a-cars. So why go with us? We try harder” that their fortune turned around. (Avis was later sold to ITT who ordered up the advertising theme “Avis is going to be number one” which bombed.)Another campaign that worked was when 7 Up, the leader in the lemon-lime soda category wanted to make inroads into the larger cola market. When they positioned themselves as “The Uncola” they climbed to the third largest selling soft drink in America.Chapter 7: The Law Of The Ladder The strategy to use depends on which rung you occupy on the ladder. All products are not created equal. There is a hierarchy in the mind that prospects use in making decisions. For each category, there is a product ladder in the mind. On each rung is a brand name. For e.g car rental. Hertz is on the top rung, Avis is on the 2nd rung, and National on the third. Your marketing strategy should depend on how soon you got into the mind and consequently which rung of the ladder you occupy. Example: Avis admitted it was #2. Told prospects to go with them because they tried harder. They made money. The mind is selective. Prospects use their ladders in deciding which information to accept and which information to reject. In general, a mind only accepts new data that is consistent with its product ladder in that category. Everything else is ignored. How many rungs are there on your ladder? Products you use every day tend to be high-interest products with many rungs. And vice versa. There's a relationship between market share and your position on the ladder in the prospect's mind. Sometimes your own ladder or category might be too small. It might be better to be a small fish in a big pond than to be a big fish in a small pond. It's sometimes better to be №3 on a big ladder than №1 on a small ladder.The Law of Duality – In the long run, every market becomes a two-horse race.In batteries, it's Eveready and Duracell. In photographic film, it's Kodak and Fuji. In rent-a-cars, it's Hertz and Avis. In mouthwash, it's Listerine and Scope. In fast food, it's McDonalds and Burger King. In running shoes, it's Nike and Reebok. In toothpaste, it's Crest and Colgate.Chapter 8: The Law Of Duality In the long run, every market becomes a two-horse race. Early on, a new category is a ladder of many rungs. Gradually, the ladder becomes a two-rung affair. E.g Coke vs Pepsi.The Law of the Opposite – If you're shooting for second place, your strategy is determined by the leader.If you're number two it makes sense to try and leverage the leader's strength into a weakness. An example of this is the campaign Pepsi Cola used to become the choice of the new generation (versus Coke-Cola being the old established product).Scope successful hung the “medical breath” label on market leader Listerine by becoming the good tasting mouthwash that kills germs.Other examples are Lowenbrau's “You've tasted the German beer that's the most popular in American. Now taste the German beer that's the most popular in German” and advertising slogan used to launch Tylenol in 1955 “For the millions who should not take aspirin” (when it was discovered that aspirin caused stomach bleeding).Chapter 9: The Law Of The Opposite If you're shooting for second place, your strategy is determined by the leader. Wherever the leader is strong, there is an opportunity for a would-be №2 to turn the tables. A company should leverage the leader's strength into a weakness. You must discover the essence of the leader and then present the prospect with the opposite. Too many potential №2 try to emulate the leader. This is an error. You must present yourself as the alternative. The law of the opposite is a two-edged sword. It requires honing in on a weakness that your prospect will quickly acknowledge. Marketing is often a battle for legitimacy. The first brand that captures the concept is often able to portray its competitors as illegitimate pretenders. A good#2 cannot afford to be timid.The Law of Division – Over time a category will divide and become two or more categories.A category starts off as a single entity. But over time it breaks up into other segments.Computers for example, you have: mainframes, minicomputers, workstations, personal computers, laptops, notebooks.Beer is the same way. Today's there's imported and domestic beer. Light, draft and dry beers. Even non-alcoholic beers.Each segment has its own leader (which is rarely the leader in the original category).Chapter 10: The Law Of Division Over time, a category will divide and become two or more categories Each segment is a separate, distinct entity. Each segment has its own reason for existence. Each segment has its own leader, which is rarely the same as the leader of the original category.The way for the leader to maintain its dominance is to address each emerging category with a different brand name.The Law of Perspective – Marketing effects takes place over an extended period of time.Does a sale increase a company's business or decrease it? Obviously in short term it increases it, but more and more there's evidence to show sales decrease business in the long term by educating customers not to buy at regular prices.Sales also say to people that your regular prices are too high. To maintain volume some companies find they have to run continuous sales. In the retail field, the big winners are Kmart and Wal-mart who are known for their everyday low prices.Chapter 11: The Law Of Perspective Marketing effects take place over an extended period of time      Many marketing move exhibit the same phenomenon. The long-term effect is often the exact opposite of the short-term effect. For e.g a sale. A sale increase in a business in the short-term, but there are increasing evidence that shows that sales educate customers not to buy at regular prices.The Law of Line Extension – There is an irresistible pressure to extend the equity of the brand.Here are two examples they give of companies harming their brand by overextending it:The introduction of Coors Light caused the collapse of regular Coors which today sells one-fourth of what it used to.Back in 1978, 7 Up had a 5.7 percent market share. Then they added 7Up Gold, Cherry 7 Up and assorted diet versions. In the early 90's, 7 Up's share had fallen to 2.5 percent.Chapter 12: The Law Of Line Extension There's an irresistible pressure to extend the equity of a brand. One day a company is tightly focused on a single product that is highly profitable. The next day the same company is spread thin over many products and is losing money. When you try to be all things to all people, you inevitably wind up in trouble. Line extension usually involves taking the brand name of a successful and putting it on a new product you plan to introduce. Marketing is a battle of perception, not product. In the mind, for example, A-1 is not the brand name, but the steak sauce itself. Less is more. If you want to be successful today, you have to narrow the focus in order to build a position in the prospect's mind.The Law of Sacrifice – You have to give up something to get something.If you want to be successful today you should give something up.The first area you could sacrifice in is your product line. The example they give is Federal Express who focused on one service: small overnight deliveries.The second is market share. Pepsi gave up part of their market when they focused on the youth market and it worked brilliantly – it brought them within 10% market share of Coca Cola. Here a few of the other companies Reis and Trout cite as having given up market share by specializing: Foot Locker (athletic shoes); The Gap (casual clothing for the young at heart); Victoria Secret (sexy undergarments); The Limited (upscale clothing for working women).The third sacrifice is constant change. One of the examples they list is White Castle whose restaurants look the same as they did sixty years ago and still sell the same frozen sliders, yet they still average over a million dollars per year per location.Chapter 13: The Law Of Sacrifice You have to give up something in order to get something This law is the opposite of Law 12. If you want to be successful, you have to give up something. There are 3 things to sacrifice: product line, target market and constant change.        The generalist is weak.The Law of Attributes – For every attribute, there is an opposite, effective attribute.The Law of Exclusivity says that two companies can't own the same word or position. A company must seek out another attribute (it's much better to find an opposite attribute, similar won't do).For instance, Crest owns the word “cavities”. Other toothpastes avoided “cavities”. Instead they focused on taste, whitening, and breath protection.Of course, all attributes aren't created equally. When it comes to toothpaste “cavities” is the best. If the best one is taken you must move on to an attribute and live with a smaller share of the market. And then dramatize its value and increase your market share.Chapter 14: The Law Of Attributes For every attribute, there is an opposite, effective attribute. Too often a company attempts to emulate the leader. It's much better to search for an opposite attribute that will allow you to play off against the leader. All attributes are not created equal. Some attributes are more important to customers than others. You must try and own the most important attribute. You cannot predict the size of a new attribute's share, so never laugh at one.The Law of Candor – When you admit a negative, the prospect will give you a positive.First admit a negative and then twist it into a positive.Examples:“Avis is only No.2 in rent-a-cars” (Avis tries harder)“With a name like Smuckers it has to be good” (We have a bad name, but a good product.)“The 1970 VW will stay ugly longer.” (A car that ugly must be reliable.)“Joy. The Most expensive perfume in the world.” (At $375 an ounce, it has to be sensational.)When you state a negative it's automatically viewed as the truth. When you state a positive it's looked upon as dubious at best.Another great example of twisting a negative into a positive is how Listerine reacted when Scope entered the market with a “good-tasting” mouthwash. They came out with “Listerine: The taste you hate twice a day.”Chapter 15: The Law Of Candor When you admit a negative, the prospect will give you a positive. It goes against corporate and human nature to admit a problem. Yet one of the most effective ways to get into a prospect's mind is to first admit a negative and twist it into a positive. Candor is disarming. Every negative statement you make about yourself is instantly accepted as truth (NOTE: This is a similar law stated in 48 Laws of Power.) You have to prove a positive statement to the prospect's satisfaction. No proof is needed for a negative statement. When a company starts a message by admitting a problem, people tend to almost instinctively open their minds. Example: Listerine used to advertise with “The taste you hate twice a day.” which set them up for selling the idea of killing a lot of germs. The Law of Candor must be used carefully and with great skill. Your negative must be widely perceived as a negative. It has to trigger an instant agreement with your prospect's mind. Next, you have to shift quickly to the positive. The purpose of candor isn't to apologize. It is to set up a benefit that will convince your prospect.The Law of Singularity – In each situation, only one move will produce substantial results.According to Reis and Trout “many marketing people see success as the sum total of a lot of small efforts beautiful executed. They think as long as they put the effort in they'll be successful whether you try hard or try easy, the differences are marginal”. They say the one thing that works in marketing is the single, bold stroke.An example they give is the two strong moves that were made against General Motors. The Japanese came at the low end with small cars like Toyota, Datsun and Honda. The Germans came at the high end with super premium cars like Mercedes and BMW.Chapter 16: The Law Of Singularity In each situation, only one move will produce substantial results (similar to 80/20 principle.) Many marketing people see success as the sum total of a lot of small efforts beautifully executed. They think they can pick and choose from a number of different strategies and still be successful as long as they put enough effort into the program. They seem to think the best approach is “get into everything.” Trying harder is not the secret of marketing success. History teaches that the only thing that works in marketing is the single, bold stroke. In any given situation, there is only one move that will produce substantial results. What works in marketing is the same as what works in the military — the unexpected. To find that singular idea of concept, marketing managers have to know what's happening in the marketplace.The Law of Unpredictability – Unless you write your competitors' plans, you can't predict the future.Marketing plans based on what will happen in the future are usually wrong. It's very difficult to predict your market. You can get a handle on trends, but the danger for many companies is they jump to conclusions about how far a trend will go.Chapter 17: The Law Of Unpredictability Unless you write your competitor's plans, you can't predict the future. Implicit in most marketing plans is an assumption about the future. Yet such marketing plans are usually wrong. Most companies live from quarterly report to quarterly report. That's a recipe for problems. Companies that live by the numbers, die by the numbers. Good short-term planning is coming up with that angle or word that differentiates your product or company. Then you set up a coherent long-term marketing direction that builds a program to maximize that idea or angle. Not a long-term plan, but a long-term direction. While you can't predict the future, you can get a handle on trends, which is a way to take advantage of change. The danger of working with trends is extrapolation. Many companies will jump to conclusions about how far a trend will go. Equally as bad as extrapolation is the common practice of assuming the future will be a replay of the present. One way to cope with an unpredictable world is to build an enormous amount of flexibility into your organization. NOTE: There is a difference between predicting the future and taking a chance on the future.The Law of Success – Success often leads to arrogance and arrogance to failure.Ego is the enemy of successful marketing. Objectivity is what is needed.Companies who became arrogant according to Ries and Trout are General Motors, Sears, Roebuck and IBM. Quite simply they felt they could anything they wanted to in the marketplace. And of, course, they were wrong.In my opinion, IBM's arrogance peaked back in the days of the IBM PC, XT, AT and the PS/2 line of computers. The difference between models was based more on marketing considerations rather than supplying their customers with a technically superior product. Compaq computers, on the other hand, focused on pushing the technical limits of their products and soon gained a reputation for building a superior computer, eventually outselling IBM.The bottom line being while ego can be an effective driving force when it comes to building a business – it can hurt if you inject it into your marketing.Chapter 18: The Law Of Success Success often leads to arrogance, and arrogance to failure. Ego is the enemy of successful marketing. Objectivity is what is needed. When people become successful, they tend to become less objective. They often substitute their own judgment for what the market wants. Ego can be an effective driving force in building a business. What hurts is injecting your ego in the marketing process. Brilliant marketers have the ability to think like how a prospect thinks. They put themselves in the shoes of their customers.The Law of Failure – Failure is to be expected and accepted.Too many companies try to fix things rather than drop things. For instance, American Motors should have abandoned passenger cars and focused on the Jeep. IBM should have dropped copiers and Xerox should have dropped computers years before they finally recognized their mistakes.Chapter 19: The Law Of Failure Failure is to be expected and accepted. Too many companies try to fix things rather than drop things. Admitting a mistake and not doing anything about it is bad for your career. A better strategy is to recognize failure early and cut losses.The Law of Hype – The situation is often the opposite of the way it appears in the press.Hype usually means a company's in trouble. According to Ries and Trout, when things are going well you don't need hype.For example, new coke had tons of publicity, but as everyone knows it bombed. Remember Steve Job's NeXt Computers? All the hype in the world couldn't turn NexT Computers into the next big thing in computers.History is full of failures that were successful in the press. Tucker 48, US Football league, Videotext, the automated factory, the personal helicopter, the manufactured home, the picture phone, polyester suits. The essence of the hype was not just that these products would be successful, but they would render existing products obsolete.For the most part hype is hype. The authors tell us that "real revolutions don't arrive at high noon with marching bands and coverage on the 6:00 pm news. Real revolutions arrive unannounced in the middle of the night and sneak up on you."Chapter 20: The Law Of Hype The situation is often the opposite of the way it appears in the press. When things are going well, a company doesn't need the hype. When you need the hype, it usually means you're in trouble. Real revolutions in the industry don't arrive at high noon with marching bands. They arrive unannounced in the middle of the night and sneak up on you.The Law of Acceleration – Successful programs are not built on fads, they're built on trends.According to Ries and Trout, "A fad is a wave. A trend is the tide. A fad gets hype. A trend gets very little. A fad is a short-term phenomena that in the long-term doesn't do a company that much good".A great example they cite is Coleco Industries Cabbage Patch Kids. They hit the market in 1983. Two years later they had sales of 776 million with profits of 83 million.Then in 1988 the bottom fell out. Coleco filed for Chapter 11. (In 1989, they were acquired by Hasbro where Cabbage Patch Kids with more conservative marketing are doing quite well.)Fads don't last. When everyone has a Ninja turtle, nobody wants one anymore. Compare that to Barbie which is a trend and continues to be popular.Chapter 21: The Law Of Acceleration Successful programs are not build on fads, they are built on trends. A fad is like a wave in the ocean, and a trend is the tide. Like the wave, the fad is very visible but it goes up and down in a hurry. Like the tide, a trend is almost invisible, but very powerful over the long-term.A paradox: if you were faced with a rapidly rising business, with all the characteristics of a fad, the best thing you could do is to dampen the fad and stretch it out.The Law of Resources – Without adequate funding an idea won't get off the ground.The best idea in the world needs money to make it happen. A mediocre idea and a million dollars is better than a great idea with no money.Chapter 22: The Law Of Resources Without adequate funding, an idea won't get off the ground. You need money to get into a mind. And you need money to stay there. First get the idea, then get the money to exploit it.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-secret-to-success/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This episode details the second half of an incredible hunt in Spain. von Benedikt and hunting partner Austin Brown drive halfway across the country, visiting castle ruins and ancient churches and cathedrals and staying in half-millennium-old inns, to hunt giant roebucks.  From botched shots and success on a world-class roebuck, to exploring 2,000-year-old Roman aqueducts and Moorish architecture and gold-encrusted Royal armor, this was an adventure.  Wrapping up, we talk through the process of booking and planning a hunt to Spain, including scheduling travel, sorting out paperwork, and getting your Spanish hunting license and firearm permit. On a worldwide spectrum, Spain is surprisingly easy and very accommodating.  ENJOY!   FRIENDS, PLEASE SUPPORT THE PODCAST!  Join the Backcountry Hunting Podcast tribe and get access to all our bonus material on www.patreon.com/backcountry VISIT OUR SPONSORS HERE:  www.browning.com www.barnesbullets.com www.timneytriggers.com www.leupold.com www.onxmaps.com www.silencercentral.com https://www.portersfirearms.com/ www.gunwerks.com www.siembidacustomknives.com https://javelinbipod.com

Things discussed: Ohio State vs Michigan recruiting: Maybe you guys don't want to be bragging that your scouting at OL and DB sucks. Like, it's not a flex that you didn't recruit Rod Moore, bro. Roebuck vs the the Andersons—you can say the twins are good fits for OSU if they develop into pass protectors, but if you ask St. Eds people, Roebuck's been their monster and Michigan's been on him for years…it's not like 3-stars vs two 4-stars is a fair representation. Is Ryan Day in trouble if he loses in Ann Arbor? The manner matters. Rod Moore says Ja'den McBurrows is one of the best man coverage guys on the team. He can hit. Don't pencil Amorion ahead of Ja'den. He's got to develop as a film junkie but everything else is falling into place. "Jyaire Hill is gonna play." I preview the recruiting  profile, because I *love* this pickup. Think that Minter is looking at playing simpler coverages because it accesses all of these young players' abilities. We saw two busts in the spring game (Sabb and Hill) when their switching broke down. "Denard on defense." Linebacker is night and day: they have a full two-deep plus Partridge. Up front: seems like edge is a 4-3/3-4 platoon with McGregor/Stewart in the 40 sets and D.Moore/Harrell for 3-4. Portal shopping: Kicker, maybe a corner. Sam says receiver but we like what they have there. Tight end maybe? How about a fullback. Find a guy named Mack Stockbaker to be a pure fullback. Recruiting: Last guy in the picture: Prieskorn is M-OSU-PSU, with PSU the biggest fear, but none of the guys who developed those TEs are still there. Going for six guys on the OL: figure Guarnera is the center and then a 6th guy is a battle of 4 or 5 guys, like Max Anderson, Brandon Baker coming to visit, Bennett Warren might have M in the lead, Michael Uini almost put out a commitment graphic. Getting Sherrone done with OL recruiting by the end of June is great because he can help in other recruitments. Cole Cabana as a returner? Sure, but this year it's AJ Henning. Basketball: Hunter looks like he's going to sign with Kansas, which is where you sign if it's about the money because Kansas does not get outbid. Why are fans sour on Hunter? Ewing Theory potential: Michigan needs to find another guy who can play center but Tarris Reed and their portal pickups are all defensive guys. Olivier Nkamhoua? Sentiment from Tennessee is he'd rather be a pro, and college is a fallback option. Primarily a four but could slide to the five better than Tray Jackson. Hockey developments: Like the Warren pickup, ideal guy to pair with Edwards on the 2nd pairing so Truscott and Casey can be your top pair. If they get the Hobey Baker winner back they're going to have two of the best lines in hockey. Baseball: Tracy Smith has done a good job so far—seems more like Indiana Smith than ASU Smith.
