What does playing in a punk band and leading a digital agency have in common? Quite a lot, it turns out. In this episode of A Little Bit Radical, host Rob Fawkes sits down with Sepas Seraj, Founder of Pixeled Eggs, a purpose-driven digital agency working with organisations like the Earthshot Prize, World Cancer Research Fund, and the Royal Foundation for the Prince and Princess of Wales. Sepas shares his journey from growing up in Iran and moving to the UK, to playing in punk bands, and eventually building a digital agency that helps mission-driven organisations thrive. This conversation covers creativity, collaboration, and the lessons he's brought from the rehearsal room into the workplace.

Prins William het die Earthshot-prys deur sy Royal Foundation in 2020 begin om nuwe idees aan te moedig om omgewingsprobleme op te los, met die fokus op jong entrepreneurs en innoveerders.

Annabelle Padwick is a professional gardener, well-being practitioner and founder of Life at No.27.Her first experience of horticulture was growing on her allotment in 2015. She was having psychotherapy at the time and "hoping that I could learn some new skills, but also [hoping] it might help with my mental health at the same time". She soon quit her marketing career and founded her social enterprise CIC organization, Life at No 27 which supports children and adults from as young as five by combining horticulture therapy and counselling and "trying to give people of all ages access to mental health support that works".The organisation receives referrals from the NHS, works with school children and in schools, and has therapeutic sites in Northamptonshire and Wales. Annabelle is fundraising to try and open more sites and operate in more schools.A "child-led sort of approach" allows young people to learn how to grow their own food and "connect with the environment and wildlife". It runs after-school clubs and liaises with schools to help children with "challenging behaviour, (as much as I don't like that word)", anxiety, and poor self-esteem and helps them stay in mainstream education.Her biggest goal, she says, is to gain sponsorship from a horticultural firm on an ongoing basis and to garner more general support from the sector.Regards mental health support within horticulture, more could be done Annabelle says: "I'd be interested to know... how many organisations in the industry do have a mental health support policy...there's definitely value in companies investing in this area".A witness at the 2023 Lords horticulture enquiry Annabelle argued "we need to up our game in terms of horticultural therapy", training, defining what is horticultural therapy and of course, funding.There is an irony, she says, in "the amount of people that are isolated as horticulturists within the industry that are struggling with their mental health" which "doesn't add up either with how much in the media we're saying gardening can help".Getting horticulture on to the schools National Curriculum would also "massively help kids mental health and just the knowledge of where food comes from" as well as offering time outside the classroom.Annabelle set up Growing for Wellbeing Week (3 - 9 June 2024) to help with fundraising and "where we can really push our messaging on a bigger scale, but also offer resources to... colleges, secondary schools, universities, care homes."With access to mental health services for adults and young people severely stretched, she would like to be able to have more qualified professional councellors and offer a "wraparound service".The project has a partnership with Prince and Princess of Wales' Royal Foundation which she hopes will help, "if anyone's interested in supporting us then them coming forward."Annabelle admits frustration with the "definite lack of interest [from the horticulture sector so far], which is frustrating on many levels. But I think there's a lot more for industry to do because it makes sense, doesn't it?" Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“We're just a moving ecosystem and we've got this weird thing called consciousness that gives us this impression that we're somehow separate, but we are just part of the ecosystem. We're a bag of microbes that's interacting with all the microbes around us. And I think there's a real need for us to appreciate our harmony with nature and our interrelatedness with nature.”Although they comprise less than 5% of the world population, Indigenous peoples protect 80% of the Earth's biodiversity. How can we support farmers, reverse biodiversity loss, and restore our ecosystems?Thomas Crowther is an ecologist studying the connections between biodiversity and climate change. He is a professor in the Department of Environmental Systems Science at ETH Zurich, chair of the advisory council for the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, and founder of Restor, an online platform for the global restoration movement, which was a finalist for the Royal Foundation's Earthshot Prize. In 2021, the World Economic Forum named him a Young Global Leader for his work on the protection and restoration of biodiversity. Crowther's post-doctoral research transformed the understanding of the world's tree cover, and the study also inspired the World Economic Forum to announce its Trillion Trees initiative, which aims to conserve and restore one trillion trees globally within the decade.https://crowtherlab.com/about-tom-crowther https://restor.eco/?lat=26&lng=14.23&zoom=3www.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

Restor is a digital platform, sort of like Google Maps, but for restoration. So rather than seeing coffee shops and supermarkets, you will see conservation projects and Indigenous-led restoration initiatives. And that means you can find a currently on Restor - I think we have around 140, 000 - so you can go on there for free right now and find thousands and thousands of these amazing heroes of nature. And you can zoom in and you can see every single tree on the ground. You can see every bush and you can fund them or you can buy their coffee or you can go visit their projects and do ecotourism. There's a myriad of ways that we can all support their efforts by also improving our own lives. We need to be cutting our emissions so that we can allow nature to thrive and help us along the way. For far too long people have been squabbling about emissions. We should do this or we should do that. Climate change is way too big for us to be squabbling about things. We need to do everything now. When we grow the same crops every year, the soil gets more depleted and all the nutrients are lost. I've heard quotes that if we cannot find agricultural systems that rejuvenate the soil instead of depleting it, we are signing our death warrant. It's like we need to be promoting healthy soils if we're going to have any agriculture in the future."https://crowtherlab.com/about-tom-crowther https://restor.eco/?lat=26&lng=14.23&zoom=3www.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

I'm dyslexic, but I managed to get into a good university in the UK, and I was messing around in a class with 300 students, and the teacher sent me out of the class. But he met me after that class, and he essentially said, ‘What are you doing? Why are you here?' And I was like, ‘I like ecology, but I just can't keep up. There's too much reading. There's too much statistics.' And he said, ‘If you like ecology, just find the bits that you like.' And I just needed to look at the fungi and find them fascinating. And then that gives you positive endorphins when you have a successful experiment. So I just immersed myself in the parts that I enjoyed and through that process, things started to go really well and my degree went really well. And then after that, my career sort of exploded. And genuinely, I know if I had not encountered that professor, there's no way my career would have gone in the direction it has done.

Crowther's post-doctoral research transformed the understanding of the world's tree cover, and the study also inspired the World Economic Forum to announce its Trillion Trees initiative, which aims to conserve and restore one trillion trees globally within the decade.“The wealth of learning that can come from our collective awareness that essentially AI is a fancy-sounding way of saying computers can learn from the collective wisdom that exists throughout the Internet. And if we can empower the local stewards of biodiversity, local landowners, farmers indigenous populations with all of that wealth of information in a smart way, it can be incredibly empowering to many rural communities. AI might also open up an opportunity for us to rethink what life is about.”https://crowtherlab.com/about-tom-crowther https://restor.eco/?lat=26&lng=14.23&zoom=3www.creativeprocess.info www.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

He believes in freedom and the new Renaissance that Bitcoin enables. In this episode we discuss the history of the monarchy in Serbia, including its benefits, such as protection of individual property rights and religious freedom. Filip shares his personal journey to working in the Bitcoin industry with JAN3. He explains the importance of top-down approach to Bitcoin adoption, and we end with how Bitcoin can solve issues like wars and violence by changing the incentive structure of money.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 3:30 We should have an episode out next week and then we'll be off on October 28th. I recently discovered a British woman on YouTube who feeds the foxes in her suburban neighborhood. I also love videos of huskies. Here's a link to the video I mention where the husky is complaining and the German Shepherd is chill. (The husky has since passed over the rainbow bridge.) Here's a link to the video Chandra mentions of the Husky who refuses to come in after it snowed. Chandra loves this interview with Daniil Medvedev from after he beat Alcaraz at the US Open. There's also a cute interview where he's doing a puzzle. Chandra is going to watch the Beckham docuseries. Royals: Minutes (3:30) to 20:00 Harry and Meghan were in New York City as part of their work with the Archewell Foundation for World Mental Health Day. They were in a terrible car chase with the paparazzi the last time they were in New York, in May. This time they brought a security team. Chandra thinks some of that security might be NYPD. The British press was snarky about their security. Harry and Meghan visited a school in Brooklyn and also took part in a discussion with at the World Mental Health Day Festival with families of children have been bullied online. They were on a panel with US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy. The Sussexes have been advocating for regulating social media for a long time. We remember Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen's testimony in Congress in late 2021 and Mark Zuckerberg's testimony in 2018. Congress is not regulating these awful social media companies because they have no clue. I pay a segment of Meghan's discussion on that panel. Chandra does not think Meghan will return to Instagram. We remember when her friend posted a photo of avocado toast and the press connected it to war and drought. The Waleses hired an entertainment producer, Pippa Harris, as director of their Royal Foundation. Pippa runs a production company with director Sam Mendes and is one of the producers of Call the Midwife. We're surprised that show is still running after 12 seasons but we both only watched the first two seasons. The story about William hiring Harris was written by Richard Eden and framed as if Harry and Meghan would be jealous of William. It was ridiculous. William's private secretary is leaving after the news that William wants to hire a CEO. Kate hasn't had a private secretary in over a year. She tried to hire someone but that woman quit before she started. The Waleses went to Birmingham for World Mental Health day where they spoke to young people. I thought Kate's speech was a little better than usual, but Chandra says she hasn't improved. William just gave basic examples of improving mental health like getting outdoors and talking to friends. The Royal Foundation also commissioned a survey of 3,000 young people on how mental health is important. Kate went to Nottingham Trent University to talk with students about mental health. She wore a cream Sezane sweater and skirt that was very Meghan. Kate and William also stepped out for an event with SportsAid, one of Kate's patronages. They talked to young athletes about mental health. Kate wore a blue Zara blazer and jeans. I say the royals need to redistribute their wealth and Chandra agrees. The royals own so much land and have massive wealth. Chandra mentions that William is no longer talking about housing the homeless on duchy property. Comments of the Week: Minutes (20:00) to end Chandra's comment of the week is from Chaine on the post about William's favorite emoji. My comment of the week is from Miranda on the post where Aaron Rodgers said he wanted to debate Travis Kelce. Thanks for listening bitches!

In this powerful podcast, we offer a glimpse into the heart of BCHA, featuring our roving reporter, Nick, as he sits down with our CEO Lorraine Mealings. They both reflect on Lorraine's first year at BCHA and no question is left unexplored. From addressing the critical need and increase housing stock to understanding what's involved in working with the Royal Foundation and even whether some staff are paid enough. Lorraine provides invaluable insights into BCHA's strategic vision and future endeavours.  This podcast is your opportunity to glimpse the inner workings of BCHA, a must-listen for anyone interested in our mission and keen to understand the perspective of our new CEO.  If you have a story to share on our talk shows, please get in touch with Mike Knowles, BCHA's Co Production Lead via email to mikeknowles@bcha.org.uk.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 6:00 I've been watching Los Espookys on HBO Max and I love it. Chandra says this season of What We Do in the Shadows was really good. She also watched the US Open and loves Coco Gauff and Daniil Medvedev.  Royals: Minutes 6:00 to 22:45 The Invictus Games are happening in Dusseldorf. Last week we mentioned that Prince Harry stopped briefly in the UK to attend the Wellchild Awards. He also visited his grandmother's crypt at St. George's Chapel in Windsor to quietly pay his respects on the anniversary of her death. He tried to stay under the radar but of course the royal rota threw a fit and said he was trying to upstage William. Meanwhile William and Kate were over an hour late to their event honoring the Queen on the anniversary of her death. Harry got a standing ovation in Dusseldorf and was greeted by the mayor. He's getting glowing coverage in the German press, especially now that Meghan is there. The Windsors are doing a ton of events as counterprogramming. Will and Kate were on Mike Tindall's rugby podcast, and the reporting afterwards was that they “torpedoed Harry's launch of the Invictus Games with the release of a podcast featuring them and Princess Anne.” They always do things with Harry and Meghan in mind. Kate's entire look at the Rugby World Cup was a copy of Meghan's at the Invictus Games opening a year prior. Kate visited a prison and wore a fluffy new wig that the press praised the next day. We also heard she had a meeting. William did an event for suicide prevention and mental health issues affecting construction workers. Meanwhile the royals have not acknowledged Team Briton or the Invictus Games, although they're trying to partially take credit for it by stating that Harry started it through the Royal Foundation. Meghan joined Harry at the Invictus games on Tuesday and attended her first event on Tuesday night. She was in a black Banana Republic shirtdress. On Wednesday Meghan wore a cardigan from J.Crew and dress shorts. She's also worn black jeans with a black sleeveless top and white jeans with a white sweater vest. She is doing her own hair and makeup. Thursday, Meghan and Harry did an event with Nato personnel. Meghan wore a silky brown blouse and dress pants. Chandra's favorite outfit she's worn is her travel outfit. The Nigerian team has given Meghan a traditional Nigerian name. She's been embraced by Invictus competitors and attendees. There are photos of Meghan holding Taira's hand, the Ukrainian Invictus competitor who was held in a Russian prison camp.  The British royals haven't acknowledged the British Invictus team with a tweet or message or reception and even the British press is noticing. The British defense minister is there and has been in meetings though. We remember the story about how the British government pressured the Bidens not to support the Sussexes. The Windsors are so obvious with the stunts they're pulling. Comments of the Week: Minutes 22:45 to end Chandra's comment of the week is from GirlNinja on the post about Kate's wig. My comment of the week is from Indica on the post about how the FDA found phenylephrine is ineffective. Thanks for listening bitches!

Hello Royal Community, We have had a glorious week of Royal engagements to talk about including:  Prince William launches his new homelessness initiative, homewards. We are asking, Can Prince William end homelessness?  The King and Queen are in Poundbury to unveil a bust of The Late Duke of Edinburgh We talk about the sad new that Sarah, Duchess of York has been diagnosed with breast cancer The Princess Royal opens an Equestrian games in fluent German.  The Royal Ascot fashion is at high-debate but which Royal will you choose to take the win? The Princess of Wales dons her tennis gear for a very sporty meeting with Roger Federer and the ball girls and boys of Wimbledon Plus so much more… Get in touch and let us know whether you think The Prince of Wales can indeed end homelessness with his new initiative, Homewards?  

The Prince of Wales's charitable foundation is putting in £3m of start-up funding to help make homelessness "rare, brief and unrepeated". Six locations across the UK will be used to test ideas to cut homelessness. "Everyone should have a safe and secure home and be treated with dignity," says Prince William. But Prince William will also face challenges about how someone with such wealth and extensive property holdings can make such calls over homelessness. Mishal Husain was joined in the studio by Lord William Hague, who chairs the prince's Royal Foundation and the footballer Tyrone Mings, a supporter of the plan after experiencing homelessness as a child.

What a brilliant week we have had with the pomp and pageantry of Trooping The Colour to mark The King's birthday and The Order of The Garter Service and Procession at Windsor Castle. In today's Royal Podcast episode, we are chatting about the controversy surrounding Catherine's outfit choices - especially surrounding her Order of the Garter Outfit, which was very similar to one she already owns. We are asking the questions:    Are Catherine's outfits too similar?  Should Catherine re-wear a similar outfit?  Is Catherine wasting money on outfits that are very similar? Should The Princess of Wales be buying whatever she wants?  We are also keeping you up-to-date with the this week's Royal engagements during our Royal Round-up including:    The King's upcoming appearance in a BBC documentary and portrait commission for The Royal Collection celebrating the Windrush Generation Queen Camilla is appointed Order of the Thistle and attend the naming ceremony of the amazing Shire horse, Juno (Michelle was very happy) The Prince of Wales announces a new social housing project for The Duchy of Cornwall The Duchess of Edinburgh is invested as Grand President of St John's Ambulance The Princess of Wales opens the National Gallery after a 3 year refurbishment  The Duchess of Gloucester celebrates her 77th birthday Plus so much more…  

In this week's royal podcast episode 107:  The King receives backlash about his politics - do you believe the King is taking it too far?  The Queen Consort is back to her Royal engagements after Covid but with the recent change to the Reading Room name, should we call her The Queen now?  The Prince and Princess of Wales heads to Wales during St. David's Day and have an endurance bike race during an impromtu spin class The Earl and Countess of Wessex head to the Caribbean for a very quiet Royal Tour.  …Plus so much more   

Dr. Tim Wittig, Ph.D. ( https://www.timothywittig.com/ ) is a conservationist, professor, and former defense intelligence analyst. He is a research fellow at Oxford University (Oxford Martin School), an associate fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) in London, and has served as Head of Intelligence for both the Royal Foundation's United for Wildlife Transport and Financial Taskforces ( https://unitedforwildlife.org/ ), and the wildlife investigations charity Focused Conservation. Dr. Wittig has lived in 8 countries on 3 continents and worked in nearly 50 different countries. His professional background is in research & development and applied sciences, intelligence-led targeting of illicit financial networks, and African and global security. Dr. Wittig began his career in national security, and was one of the first people in the US Intelligence Community (IC) to treat biodiversity and ecosystem collapse as a threat to global security. Since their inception in 2016, Dr. Wittig has played a central role in the United for Wildlife Transport and Financial Taskforces, a groundbreaking program of the Royal Foundation of the Prince & Princess of Wales ( https://royalfoundation.com/ ), to use data and intelligence, alongside high-level formal commitments, to mobilize 200+ of the worlds' largest banks, maritime shipping companies, and airlines to take meaningful action against global wildlife trafficking. Dr. Wittig conceived of and currently runs the central intelligence sharing system of the both Taskforces. A former tenured professor of International Relations and Humanitarian Action, and a life-long environmentalist and outdoorsman, Dr. Wittig, like many people today, believes reversing the current catastrophic extermination of nature is the single most important issue of our time - a literal life-and-death struggle for the future of our common planet and ultimately humanity itself. Dr. Wittig came to work professionally in conservation a decade ago after observing how the major threats to the environment today - species loss, climate change, pollution, et al - are all underpinned and driven often to a large extent by crime and corruption, illicit networks, and social injustices. And that rigorous, hard-hitting intelligence and data-led analysis of these dynamics, especially when done at scale, will be a game changer in how we confront threats to the world's wildlife and ecosystems. Dr. Wittig has a BA (High Honors) in History from William & Mary, a M.Litt. in International Security Studies, and PhD in International Relations, both from University of St Andrews. Support the show

The Earthshot Prize, founded by Britain's Prince William to honor groundbreaking solutions to environmental issues, broadcasted its second ceremony on PBS and the BBC. William, who launched the global prize with The Royal Foundation, joined the event filmed on Dec. 2 in Boston and aired Dec. 4 on Britain's BBC. On Dec. 5, it streamed on PBS.org, the PBS app and PBS YouTube channel, and on The Earthshot Prize YouTube channel. PBS stations will also air the ceremony on Dec. 14. In a statement, BBC executive Jack Bootle said last year's inaugural ceremony included “big-name stars and brilliant musical acts. This year's will be every bit as spectacular.” The prize, inspired by and with a name echoing President John F. Kennedy's 1961 challenge to America to land a man on the moon by that decade's end, aims to “discover and scale the best solutions to help repair our planet within the next decade,” according to a release. Each of this year's five winners will receive $1 million to accelerate their projects aimed at the prize's 2030 goals: protecting and restoring nature; cleaning the air; reviving the oceans; building a waste-free world, and fixing the climate. “We support the mission of The Earthshot Prize and are looking forward to creating year-round content that showcases the work of the individuals and teams who are working to protect the planet with breakthrough innovations,” Paula Kerger, PBS president and CEO, said in a statement.

Welcome back to Motherkind Moment. Moment is your place on a Monday for calm and connection and maybe even a shift in perspective before the week ahead. This week's moment is with presenter and journalist Kate Silverton. Kate is also the author of the incredible book called No such thing as naughty. This is a very short and powerful clip about how we can handle our children's meltdowns. I hope it helps you this week. It has already helped me this morning. Listen to the full episode here. ABOUT KATE SILVERTON In 25 years as a journalist, Kate Silverton has become one of the BBC's leading and most popular broadcasters. She has produced and presented numerous documentaries, including for the BBC's flagship current affairs programme Panorama. She has come under fire on the frontline in Iraq and Afghanistan, covered the glamour of the Oscars in Hollywood, and stepped out beneath the glitter ball herself as a contestant for the BBC's much-loved entertainment show, Strictly Come Dancing. Kate has spent decades interviewing leading figures throughout the world, from politicians through to celebrities and scientists. Throughout it all, Kate's lifelong passion has been to advocate for children and their emotional well-being. Her academic roots are in child development with a BSc in psychology and, after having children of her own, Kate decided to retrain as a child psychotherapist. She now combines her career in journalism with her studies, currently volunteering as a counsellor on placement working with children at a London primary school. Philanthropically, for many years she has supported charities like Place2Be, the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families, The South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, as well as the NSPCC and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's Royal Foundation. Kate's counselling work with children, her own personal experience of psychotherapy and the interviews she has conducted with world-renowned psychiatrists, neuroscientists and psychotherapists have all informed her approach and the concept she has devised for this book. Her philosophy is, ‘If we get it right from conception to five, we can set our children up for life.' Her passion is to share what she has learned with as many parents as she can, to help them to have the parenting experience they always hoped to have, and for their children to have the parenting experience they deserve.

Massive sink holes are appearing on the seabed of the Beaufort Sea in the Arctic with  melting permafrost to blame. Is this a sign of accelerated climate change? New research from 2 American universities suggests that the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act of 1937, which was instituted to tax hunters for unregulated hunting, is the reason why conservation claims by trophy hunters are so exaggerated. More evidence suggests that South Africa's recent trophy hunting quotas offers little economic value. But again, are this divisive conversations not distracting us from the urgent work we actually need to be looking at for real and sustainable transformational value on the African continent? United for Wildlife, from Prince William's Royal Foundation, recently hosted a conference in Botswana, exploring the role financial and transport industries can play in curbing the illegal wildlife trade. Simon shares his experience.

To kick off 2022 and Series 13, we celebrate the contribution of veterans. Host Julia Streets is joined by George Griffin, Customer Success Manager at Salesforce and Vice President of Vetforce, Michelle Osborne, Executive Director, Head of Emerging Talent and Military Veterans Affairs, JP Morgan Chase and David Wiseman, Grants & Programmes Director at the Invictus Games Foundation, Head of Programmes at the Royal Foundation and Co-Founder of Peak State: Mental Fitness. They discuss some of the common misconceptions around hiring veteran talent and from the wider military community and reflect on leadership attributes and the transferable skills which make valuable contributions to financial services organisations. Together they look at the importance of intersectionality, recruitment best practice, building networks and the value of the Armed Forces Covenant.

Dr. Nadina Galle is joined by Clara Rowe, CEO of Restor, to discuss why ecosystem restoration and conservation are crucial for protecting Earth's biodiversity and achieving climate mitigation goals, how restoration has the potential to draw down about 30 percent of accumulated global carbon emissions, why the biggest impacts are felt at the local scale, and why with the right data, along with full transparency, local restoration projects can now connect to the world's first open-source platform for global restoration action. Restor is founded by ETH Zurich's Crowther Lab in collaboration with Google and was a finalist for the Royal Foundation's 2021 Earthshot Prize and is an official partner of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration.

Una cosa está clara: en la lucha por restaurar el planeta de los devastadores efectos del cambio climático, lo único que no puede hacer la civilización humana es abdicar. Y en esa gigantesca batalla, cada estado, cada conglomerado social, tiene un papel que cumplir en la trinchera que le corresponde. Costa Rica no va a mover las agujas del restablecimiento de las temperaturas adecuadas. Es cierto. Pero es un referente hoy en el mundo respecto de los esfuerzos por la recuperación de la cobertura forestal y en general, por el mantenimiento de áreas protegidas, por la generación de energías limpias y porque sueña en grande cuando se plantea la descarbonización de su economía como una meta. Este domingo, algunos de esos empeños fueron reconocidos -una vez más- por el ojo mundial. Al prestigioso “Earthshot Prize” de la Royal Foundation se nominaron 750 participantes. Pero solo 15 alcanzaron un espacio en la final. Y solo 5 resultaron ganadores. Uno de ellos fuimos nosotros; los costarricenses. Obtuvimos el premio de la categoría “Proteger y Restaurar la Naturaleza” porque como dijo el Presidente de la República al aceptar el galardón “somos pioneros en desarrollar de manera exitosa modelos de conservación en tierra”. Solo así pudimos revertir en solo 20 años la cobertura forestal de un 47% a un 60% del territorio. Este “empujón” a nuestros esfuerzos de varias décadas con una política de estado sostenida, nos permiten acceder a un premio de 1,3 millones de dólares (unos 863 millones de colones) que ahora debemos utilizar para replicar lo que hemos hecho con el programa de Pago por Servicios Ambientales y el cuidado de nuestras áreas protegidas, en implementar novedosos modelos en y para la conservación marina. Ello porque, en efecto, el concurso -que se considera el equivalente en términos del medio ambiente a los Premios Nobel- además de reconocer los logros y celebrar a quienes inspiran el cambio, es para “formular llamados a la acción, para juntar iniciativas con donantes, empresas e individuos, para maximizar el impacto y ejecutar las soluciones a mayor escala… Por restaurar el planeta”. En Hablando Claro conversamos sobre este feliz momento con la ministra de Ambiente Andrea Meza y el director del Fondo Nacional de Financiamiento Forestal (FONAFIFO) Jorge Mario Rodríguez.

Just how do we balance the growing demand for electricity worldwide with the need to reduce fossil fuel emissions to address climate change? In our second programme on the Earthshot prize Chhavi Sachdev looks at some of the solutions. From projects looking at providing green hydrogen to industry worldwide and remote communities, to village scale solar electricity networks in Bangladesh and a portable pay as you go powerpack in Nigeria. Also how to provide a livelihood for people who live in areas where conservation concerns mean they are no longer able to follow their traditional hunting practices . And we feature solutions for dealing with our wastes in their many forms from cleaning up polluted water to recycling human and agricultural organic waste – including an innovative city based system for collecting and redistributing food that would otherwise be destroyed. The Earthshot Prize is an initiative from the Royal Foundation designed to highlight and reward inspiring solutions to some of the world's greatest challenges. There are 5 categories with a million pound prize available in each. Protect and restore nature. Clean our air. Revive our oceans. Build a waste-free world. Fix our climate.

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 4:30 We will be taking two weeks off for the Met Gala and the Emmys and will be back on October 2nd. We'll be doing our three weeks on one week off schedule for October and will be taking two weeks off both in November and December around the holidays. We'll be clearer about that the closer we get to those dates. Chandra has been covering the Venice Film Festival fashion. Kristen Stewart's 70s Chanel nightie was particularly bad. Angelina Jolie: Minutes 4:30 to 13:30 Angelina Jolie did a candid interview with The Guardian Weekend Magazine to promote her new book Know Your Rights and Claim Them: A Guide for Youth. Angelina spilled a little bit, but Chandra thinks she's still under a legal gag order due to her 2018 custody agreement. It seems like Angelina is fed up with Brad. In that interview she said she was afraid for her children's safety and that she had an assault experience with Harvey Weinstein that she told Brad about. Brad worked with Weinstein twice after Angelina told him about that, which Angelina said hurt her. Brad knew about Gwyneth Paltrow being sexually harassed by Weinstein, because Gwyneth said she told him about it. Both Brad and Harvey Weinstein issued statements to TMZ denying Angelina's account, with Weinstein's being particularly despicable and Brad's just denying that he worked with Weinstein on Inglourious Basterds. In 2017, The Daily Beast ran a story about Brad Pitt's business dealings with Harvey Weinstein. The journalist said that Brad's people tried to shut that story down. Unlike other men who worked with Weinstein, like George Clooney, Kevin Smith, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, Brad Pitt has never addressed his association with him. I play a segment from Zoom where Karen and Ameerah talk about this. We wonder whether Brad was emotionally abusive to Angelina and the kids, especially considering how long he's dragged out the divorce case. Monica Lewinsky: Minutes 13:30 to 22 Monica Lewinsky has been promoting American Crime Story: Impeachment, for which she's a producer. Beanie Feldstein is playing Monica, but Monica has been doing more press. Monica's interviews sound like revisionist history given what we know about her case. We wonder why she hasn't seemed to move on from this. We lived through this part of history and listened to her tapes with Linda Tripp and read the Starr Report. Monica was an adult when this happened and admitted pursuing Clinton. It was an abuse of power on his part and Monica was a victim of the press and of the Republicans. We wonder why she's not taking responsibility for her part though. I play a segment from Zoom where we talk about this. John Mulaney: Minutes 22 to 31 We explain why we don't use Mulaney's girlfriend's name in the titles to our stories. You can hear more about that in episode 15 or read about it in the story we talked about which Chandra covered Friday. I go off on people commenting without reading even one line of the story. Mulaney's girlfriend is pregnant, and he went on Seth Meyers to talk about that. He opened with the alleged timeline of their relationship, which he claimed happened right after he got out of rehab for the second time in February. He said he split from his wife in the fall. However sources close to his estranged wife, Anne-Marie Tendler, have denied his timeline and say that he didn't tell her he wanted a divorce until February. I play a segment from Zoom were we talk about this. Comments of the Week: Minutes 31 to end My comment of the week is from TheOriginalMia on the post from People Royals claiming that Kate and William's kids have “all the right ingredients.” Here's a link to Tanisha's tweet about that. Chandra's comment of the week is from Becks1 on the post about the Royal Foundation wanting to focus on diversity. Thanks for listening bitches!

Introduction: Minutes 0 to 1:45 We're excited for our 100th episode! We've been on since January 15, 2019 and have put out podcasts 74% of the time. We're proud!  Royals: Minutes 1:45 to 18:15 Prince Andrew is at Balmoral. The Queen's lawyers are trying to avoid negative coverage of Andrew by banning outlets from publishing photos. They sent out letters “warning the publications against publishing pictures of the royal family or their guests at Balmoral the same day that Andrew arrived there.” This story validates the Sussexes' claims that the royals could have protected them from the press if they wanted. Chandra thinks the Queen's staff are trying to protect her. We wonder what the Queen knows. Chandra remembers the story about how the Queen took Andrew's word that his BBC interview went well. This week the Sussexes issued statements on their Archewell site. They talked about the Afghanistan withdrawal, the crisis in Haiti and the ongoing pandemic. Many of the royal reporters latched onto the part of their statement that said they were speechless. It was clear what they meant in context, but of course they're being nitpicked. They included links to the charities they're working with which are addressing these issues. You can tell that Harry, a veteran of Afghanistan, has been speaking to his veteran friends. He also issued a statement about Afghanistan through the Invictus Games. Angela Levin accused the Sussexes of accepting money on behalf of Archewell when in fact they told people to donate directly to the charities. Kate and William's charity, the Royal Foundation, is the one that accepts donations and then parcels it out to charities. It's unclear how effective this is considering that at least two of their patronages have closed for lack of funds. Harry and Meghan are also covering People Magazine, which has a new interview with Finding Freedom author Omid Scobie. He's promoting the paperback release of FF on August 31s, which has a new epilogue. Omid said the Sussexes are entering an “era of visibility” and that they're in a healthier place and thriving. We can see that too. They previously announced that they're taking five months paternity and maternity leave. They should be off until November, but they've already done so much. Chandra thinks they'll be making announcements and launching things in the fall. Chandra remembers when Kim Kardashian was pregnant and launching projects. In the epilogue to Finding Freedom, there's a section quoting a source about how Harry and Meghan felt about the royal response to the Oprah interview. It references the Queen's “recollections may vary” statement and says that the royal family isn't taking accountability. The British reporters are claiming that Harry and Meghan “attacked” the Queen and are “reigniting a rift.” The Daily Beast is reporting that lawyers for the Sussexes “have written to at least one major British newspaper saying that the claims are false and inaccurate.” Scobie made it clear that those quotes were from a source and were not directly attributed to Harry and Meghan. The British press seems to be trying to drive a wedge between Scobie and The Sussexes. Chandra mentions that the Sussexes are highlighting how little the royals are doing. They haven't issued a simple statement about the crisis in Haiti. The Crown: Minutes 18:15 to 25:30 We got the first photos from season five of The Crown featuring Elizabeth Debicki as Princess Diana, Dominic West as Prince Charles and Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth. Also Jonathan Pryce is playing Prince Philip, Natascha McElhone is Penny Knatchbull, and Jonny Lee Miller is John Major. The Crown is also going to feature Prince Philip's relationship with his mistress, Penny Knatchbull, who was back in the press recently because she was at his funeral. Penny is 32 years younger than Prince Philip, she lived with him at Wood Farm and they had a relationship for decades. Penny was one of many mistresses and would often accompany Prince Philip and The Queen to events. I ask why Philip hated Fergie and Chandra says Fergie was tacky and indiscreet. I play a segment from Zoom where Susan, Sara, Karen, Lisa and Amber talk about the casting. We don't think Dominic West looks anything like Charles. Chandra found Gillian Anderson hit or miss at playing Thatcher last season but says her body work was excellent. Comments of the Week: Minutes 25:30 to end My comment of the week is from Duchess L on the story about Terry Crews saying you don't need to shower if you don't sweat. Chandra's comment of the week is from Sandy on tennis player Stefanos Tsitsipas saying he wouldn't get vaccinated until it was mandatory. Thanks for listening bitches!

A year after they last saw one another, Prince William and his brother Prince Harry put their fraught relationship aside as they said farewell to their grandfather at his funeral on Saturday in the UK.The brothers were sombre and silent as they walked together in a procession behind Prince Philip's coffin before his funeral at Windsor Castle along with their father, Prince Charles, and other close relatives. They were seen chatting and walking together after the service concluded.It was the first time the brothers had been together in public since Harry stood down from royal duties and moved to the U.S. with his wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, and their son Archie in early 2020.Tensions between Harry, 36, and William, 38, came to the fore after Harry and Meghan gave a revealing interview to U.S. talk show host Oprah Winfrey last month. The couple portrayed the royal family as indifferent to Meghan's mental health struggles, and Harry described his relationship with William as "space at the moment."On Saturday, William and Harry walked in silence on either side of their cousin, Peter Phillips, as they joined other senior royals in Philip's funeral procession. At one point Phillips fell behind slightly to allow the brothers to walk side by side — a visual echo of the moment the pair, as boys in 1997, walked behind the coffin of their mother Princess Diana in another royal funeral televised around the world.The brothers sat opposite each other in St. George's Chapel for the funeral, which was attended by only 30 people because of coronavirus restrictions. While William sat next to his wife Kate, Harry was on his own because Meghan is pregnant with their second child and was advised by her doctor not to make the long trip.Afterwards, Harry, William and Kate strolled together outside the chapel. Moments later, the brothers walked together alone while Kate spoke to Zara Tindall, another of Queen Elizabeth II's eight grandchildren who is William and Harry's cousin.Rumors of a rift between the brothers — William, the heir, and Harry, the "spare" — have rumbled at least since 2019. That's when Harry and Meghan separated from the Royal Foundation, originally set up as the brothers' joint charitable venture, to set up their own platform. That year, Harry said he loved his brother dearly but they were "on different paths" and have "good days" and "bad days."Many believe that William was angered and hurt by Harry's decision to speak so publicly about the royal family's issues during the Winfrey interview. In one explosive allegation, they said a family member — not the queen or Philip — had expressed "concerns" about Archie's possible skin color before he was born. Meghan has a Black mother and a white father.Days after the interview aired, William insisted "we are very much not a racist family," and said he had not spoken to Harry since the broadcast.It's unclear whether the passing of their grandfather will help the brothers heal their rift. It wasn't immediately clear how long Harry, who has been self-isolating in line with the U.K.'s coronavirus restrictions since arriving from California early this week, will stay in his home country.Saturday's funeral was limited to only 30 people, who all had to wear masks, sit in family bubbles and remain socially distanced in the same church that had hosted hundreds of people for Harry and Meghan's royal wedding in 2018. And Britain's continued coronavirus restrictions may limit how much opportunity the brothers will get to smooth over their differences."Because of the restrictions of COVID, it's difficult to get down to decent conservations," said royal biographer Penny Junor. "It's probably quite difficult to sit down as they normally would over a beer and discuss things."

Amid claims Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, bullied certain staff during her time as a senior royal, it's now been revealed how she responded when she was informed aides were upset with her behaviour.In a bombshell report by The Times of London this week, the Duchess of Sussex was accused of bullying several members of her staff prior to, and after, her 2018 royal wedding with Prince Harry.Buckingham Palace has since announced its HR team will investigate the claims.The Times claims the treatment spanned back to before the couple were engaged in late 2017.Shortly after they announced their impending nuptials in November that year, a senior aide reportedly gave both Meghan and Harry a dressing down about their treatment of staff.According to the publication, Meghan is said to have replied: "It's not my job to coddle people."The couple's communications assistant at the time, Jason Knauf, reported the behaviour in October 2018, the same month Meghan and Harry embarked on their tour of Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga.Knauf alleged that Meghan's treatment of her staff had already driven two personal assistants out of the household, and that the Duchess was actively "undermining the confidence" of a third.He wrote an email to Prince William's private secretary, Simon Case, stressing that both he and the palace's head of HR Samantha Carruthers thought "the situation was very serious" and he was "concerned that nothing will be done"."I am very concerned that the Duchess was able to bully two PAs out of the household in the past year," Knauf wrote."The treatment of X was totally unacceptable. The Duchess seems intent on always having someone in her sights. She is bullying Y and seeking to undermine her confidence. We have report after report from people who have witnessed unacceptable behaviour towards Y."Knauf stopped working for the Sussexes a short time later, and is now chief executive of William and Kate's Royal Foundation.The Sussexes have accused the palace of a "calculated smear campaign" against them ahead of their highly publicised tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey, which is set to air on Monday.Their spokesperson told The Times: "Let's just call this what it is – a calculated smear campaign based on misleading and harmful misinformation."We are disappointed to see this defamatory portrayal of the Duchess of Sussex given credibility by a media outlet."It's no coincidence that distorted several-year-old accusations aimed at undermining the Duchess are being briefed to the British media shortly before she and the Duke are due to speak openly and honestly about their experience of recent years."The spokesperson added: "The Duchess is saddened by this latest attack on her character, particularly as someone who has been the target of bullying herself and is deeply committed to supporting those who have experienced pain and trauma."She is determined to continue her work building compassion around the world and will keep striving to set an example for doing what is right and doing what is good."text by Lexie Cartwright, news.com.au

The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge is a charity that supports the work of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Their projects revolve around conservation, the early years, mental health, and emergency responders. In this Speech, Meghan Markle quotes: "You'll often hear people say, “Well, you're helping women find their voices.” And I fundamentally disagree with that, because women don't need to find a voice, they have a voice, they need to feel empowered to use it.

Lorraine Heggessey has had some of the biggest jobs in broadcasting - head of Children’s BBC, controller of BBC1 (the first woman to do so) and chief executive of Talkback Thames. Now a media consultant, public speaker and advisor to Channel 4, she left the media world in 2017; and spent two years working for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry, as chief executive of The Royal Foundation. In this in-depth interview, Lorraine recalls the time she memorably fired Blue Peter presenter Richard Bacon for taking cocaine, describes the risks she took when commissioning Strictly Come Dancing in order to “reinvent Saturday nights,” and discusses her work as chair of the Grierson Trust, which helps young people from diverse backgrounds to get into documentary making.

Sharing a space in silence can be uplifting, revelatory and inspiring, sharing a space in nature can be an even more powerful experience. Allowing your brain to think in different ways by taking time away by being in a different space unblocks creativity, it can help you shape a different way of thinking, a different ways of being. This is important in times of change, career change and stress. Doing this surrounded by nature compounds the effect. There is a unique space of harmony in London that not a lot of people know about. It is a retreat centre with two spaces embracing nature, one is wild and more open with a Yurt cafe, moroccan stews and fresh bread and the second an inner sanctuary, a secret hidden garden in the heart of a cloister, a place for quiet reflection and peace. That place is The Royal Foundation of St Katharines. Founded by Queen Matilda in 1147, the foundation's purpose is to serve the community and it is doing just that, with Amnesty International, the Red Cross and businesses using the meeting spaces for conferences and events, but also is a place of retreat for people from all over the world to come and take some time out to regroup, recharge and experience peace in the centre of London. We speak to The Venerable Roger Preece, Master of the Foundation to ask him the philosophical question why nature is important to us.

Introduction and our boobs: Minutes 0 to 4:30 Chandra delivered groceries to her mom but had to drop them off at the front door. She’s not sure her mom grasps how much everything has changed as she’s been in an assisted living facility. One of our big stories was about Padma Lakshmi getting criticized for not wearing a bra in her at-home cooking videos. We talked in episode 16 about our boobs, which is when Chandra schooled me on small breast privilege. She says women like me get cuter bras and can wear more clothing styles. We think Padma has great boobs and want ours to be like hers. I’m surprised that Chandra has to wear both a regular bra with a sports bra over it when she exercises. Royals: Minutes 4:30 to 14:15 This week felt like a regular gossip week for the first time in a while and that gives us hope. This week Prince William Zoom called two women who run charities which have benefited from grants from his patronage, the National Emergencies Trust. He was prepared and seemed at ease. He did make one slight gaffe but we think it was taken out of context. There’s news that wealthy donors are donating to Will and Kate’s Royal Foundation and that they’re parceling out the money to other causes. We question why they’re accepting those donations instead of instructing people to donate to the charities directly. Meghan and Harry donated £90,000 in proceeds from the broadcast of their wedding to Feeding Britain. Prince Harry did a Zoom chat with parents of children with special needs as part of his patronage with Well Child. He knew so much about the families of the people he talked to. Chandra points out that he’s been working with that charity for a long time. Meghan and Harry volunteered with food distribution service Project Angel Food in Los Angeles. There were some cute quotes from a man they visited who thought Harry looked familiar. Princess Anne is covering Vanity Fair, and Chandra wishes they had used a current photo of her instead of a classic one. Anne is so no-nonsense she doesn’t eat or drink when she’s working. Anne talked some smack about the younger royals without naming names, telling them to stick to basics. Some people think she was referring to Meghan and Harry, but Chandra thinks she was talking about Will and Kate, because they spent years talking about how they didn’t want to do the basic royal work. Michael Bublé: Minutes 14:15 to 18:00 In an Instagram Live video, Michael Bublé elbowed his wife, Argentinian actress Luisana Lopilato, after she talked over him. He then jerked her arm to pull her close to him, putting his arm around her neck. Many people thought it looked controlling, if not abusive. Luisana issued a statement defending Michael but he didn’t respond at all. His rep claimed that people were “cyberbullying” Michael. In other clips he says he’s going to divorce her and has clear disdain for her. He seems like an angry man and not like he’s joking at all. We’re not sure if he’s abusive, but he’s obviously controlling. Emily Blunt, who dated Michael from 2005 to 2008, refused to tell Howard Stern whether or not Michael had cheated on her, saying “I never want to talk about it. I can’t do it.” Reese Witherspoon and Draper James: Minutes 18:00 to 22:30 Reese Witherspoon promised to give teachers a free dress in a giveaway announced April 2nd with an application period until April 5th. It was worded “offer valid while supplies last,” but never specified that they only had 250 dresses available. The offer went viral quickly and they got over a million applications. Now all those women are on the Draper James mailing list, which only sent out a 30% coupon. I wonder how Reese rehabbed her image after her 2013 DUI, and Chandra explains that she did it by leaning into a stereotype of a southern woman. User Feedback: Minutes 22:30 to 24:45 Our user feedback is about our episode last week on Ancient Aliens. Our friend Becky on Twitter tried to watch the Pleiades episode but we’re not sure how it went. JC, a high school astronomy teacher, issued some corrections to the things we said last week about the Pleiades. Chandra thinks I shouldn’t have tried to fact check any of those claims. Comments of the Week: Minutes 24:45 to 29 My comment of the week is from CCSays on the post about Bruce Willis quarantining with Demi Moore instead of his wife, Emma Heming. Chandra’s comment of the week is from emmy on the post about Kate Beckinsale dating a 22 year-old emo musician. Thanks for listening bitches! Call us or leave a voicemail at 434-218-3219.

Dark and beautiful, Bertil Vallien’s sculpture takes the viewer on a mystical journey through the subconscious. Part oracle, part art object - his boats, maps and heads reveal existential secrets through a series of symbols and codes embedded in a glass matrix that appears to contain light. Sweden’s most innovative and well-known contemporary glass artist, Vallien pioneered sand casting in the 1980s and began creating sculptures in glass that inspired his now famous quote: “Glass eats light.”   Born in 1938 in Sollentuna, a suburb north of Stockholm, Vallien studied ceramics at the Konstfack School of Arts, Crafts, and Design in Stockholm, then spent two years at the School for Advanced Industrial Design. At Konstfack, he graduated at the top of his class and was awarded a Royal Foundation grant. His love of ceramics took him to Los Angeles for a position with HAL Fromholt Ceramics, and soon he was meeting artists, critics, and gallery owners, attending events at California universities, and exhibiting his ceramics. In 1963, he was invited back to Sweden by the C.H. Åfors glass-factory, where he contributed to a successful reorganization of the company and designed many of their most well-known lines.   Vallien’s introduction to glass offered artistic opportunities that were lacking in ceramics, and blowing glass became central to his work. He describes it as, “ladling matter out of a volcano and watching the glowing lava turn into ice.” His work has a symbolic and mystical narrative, in which the human head, boats, maps, stars, crosses, bridges, pyramids, and rings play recurring roles. Sometimes the light-absorbing glass is transparent like a membrane that allows vision into the spaces within. At other times it is translucent to represent how our understanding can at times be clouded.   From California to Israel, Vallien has exhibited around the world including The State Heritage Museum (St. Petersburg, Russia); the National Museum (Stockholm, Sweden); the Victoria and Albert Museum (London, England); the Art Institute of Chicago (IL); the National Museum of Modern Art (Kyoto, Japan); the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, NY); the Powerhouse Museum (Sydney, Australia); and the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston, MA). He has received numerous awards, such as: Prince Eugen’s medal for Outstanding Achievement in the Arts (1995); an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Vaxjö (2002); the Gold Medal from the Royal Academy of Science, Stockholm (2005); and the Libenski Award, Seattle (2008).   At 82, Vallien is still active as a creating artist. In 2018, he exhibited new work at Spritmuseum, Stockholm, in an exhibition titled, Under ytan (Under the Surface). The art objects were made in a coarse-cut black glass that suggested an archaeological excavation of a desolate civilization. Wrecked ships and desolate landscapes stood on pedestals in a dark room with a light source above it.   On February 8, 2020, during Imagine Museum’s Fire and Light Gala, Trish Duggan, Founder and President of Imagine Museum, presented Vallien with the “Artist of the Future” award, based upon his undaunted journey as an artist looking toward the future while continuing to aspire other artists in new ways of expression and communication. “Bertil’s vision about the future and his unbound curiosity about what lies ahead puts him far ahead many of the younger artists working in the field today,” said Duggan about the award recipient.   Continuing down his prolific path, on May 14, 2020, Vallien’s exhibition Surface Tension opens at Gallery Glas in Stockhom. His show Anhalt will be on view at VIDA Museum and Art Gallery, Borgholm, Sweden, beginning May 23. The artist is also preparing for his demo at the Glass Art Society (GAS) conference in Smaland, Sweden, May 20-23, where he will be presented with GAS’ Visionary Award.

Intro we have new ads: Minutes 0 to 4 You may notice that we have new ads which are bigger and take a little longer to load. I looked for months to find a good company to work with and have made sure that there are no ads with automatic sound. We’re also waiting for the next scandal or breakup this summer and find Irina Shayk and Bradley Cooper’s split boring. Royals: Minutes 4 to 13:30 We had two big events this week, The Order of The Garter and Royal Ascot. We talk about Kate’s faux pas when she missed seeing Queen Letizia. We also talked about Kate’s twee style. The Royal Foundation is splitting in two different organizations for the Sussexes and The Cambridges. Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice were criticized for their fashion, with people comparing Eugenie’s dress with the boob darting to Anne Hathaway’s Prada Oscar gown. Beatrice’s dress looked like something Kate would wear. Taylor Swift: Minutes 13:30 to 20 Taylor Swift released the video for You Need to Calm Down, which threw so many gay celebrities together in one video. There was the appropriation argument and also the parallels between Taylor’s video and Beyonce’s 2011 Party video. Taylor and Katy Perry buried the hatchet but did anyone really care? Also, was Taylor sending a message to people with her hair in the video? If she is bi, do people care? Big Little Lies: Minutes 20 to 24 Spoilers up to season two episode two. Chandra wasn’t too impressed with the first episode of the second season of Big Little Lies but she thought the second episode was bonkers and full of plot twists. I agree to start watching it so we can talk about it. Downton Abbey Movie: Minutes 24 to 28 Spoilers to the end of Downton Abbey series. This week we got to see new character posters for Downton Abbey. Chandra loves these costume and historical dramas but I’m mediocre on them. I’m still looking forward to the movie. The part of the series that bored me enough to stop watching is the part that Chandra loves! Little Women first look: Minutes 28 to 30 We got our first look at Greta Gerwig’s version of Little Women, which Chandra is excited about. She hated the 90s Winona Ryder version and I really don’t care about it. User Feedback: Minutes 30 to 32:30 Thanks to Launica Angelina, Heather, Mooya, Orange Owl, BlueSky and Victoria for your nice feedback! Comments of The Week: 32:30 to 37 My COTW was by Perplexed on Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice’s fashion. Chandra’s COTW was by Jen on the confusion over Cersei’s pregnancy on GoT.

Hello Everyone!!!! We have a very special guest on the podcast today! Professor Goldburn P. Maynard Jr. who is a Assistant Professor of Law at University of Louisville, Louis D Brandeis School of law..  And he is a huge part of the Sussex Squad! eekkkkk!!!! We are beyond excited!! He brings a level headed educational approach to the smack down he gives the British Royal Reporters who insist on pushing negativity, racist dog whistle, outright racism, classism, misogynoir etc narrative towards the Duchess of Sussex. We discussed why these narratives are dangerous for not only the Duchess but for women of color worldwide. We also tackled yellow journalism in the UK press with regards to the duchess. Below are the topics we covered! Yellow Journalism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism Topics We asked how he became interested about in the Royal? Was the press treatment a factor in that interest? Are there similarities between how Michelle Obama was treated by the US press and Meghan by the UK press? We discussed diversity amongst Royal reporters.  Does the lack of diversity contributes to the vitriol, racism, classism, misogynoir towards Meghan in the press? Misogynoir: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misogynoir Professor discussed how we Sussex Squad and People of color respond to that the press attacks and perpetuating the angry black woman narrative that the press are ascribing to Meghan  thus WOC world wide.

We have a Father’s Day picture of King Archie and Prince Harry! Happy Father’s Day Prince Harry! Talk about our reaction! https://www.instagram.com/p/ByxRc1hlo6Y/?igshid=1n1p9prv1ulgi  Engagements: Sentebale: The Duke of Sussex attended a fundraising concert for Sentebale in the stunning grounds of Hampton Court Palace. @Sentebale was founded by The Duke of Sussex and Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso in 2006 to support the mental health and wellbeing of children and young people affected by HIV and AIDS in Lesotho, Botswana and Malawi. The charity is one way in which both Princes’ are able to keep their mothers’ legacy alive. Sentebale means “Forget me not” in Sesotho. Last night’s concert featured singer-songwriter Rita Ora and spoken word poet George the Poet (George Mpanga), and many other talented artists. Thousands came together in a celebration of African and Western culture to help raise awareness of Sentebale’s work in supporting children and young people in southern Africa affected by HIV. In the last 20 years, attitudes have changed as more people understand that the HIV virus is no longer a death sentence, yet there is still far too much stigma, discrimination, and lack of education surrounding the illness. Many people are afraid to access life-saving treatment because they fear what others will think. Thousands of children in southern Africa are living in incredibly challenging circumstances. Sentebale’s programmes not only ensure their basic needs – love, security and an education – are being met, but also provides them with the educational and psychosocial support they deserve. Since it was founded @Sentebale has supported hundreds of thousands of young people through activities including monthly clubs at local healthcare facilities and week-long residential camps. Support from the concert goes to the children of Lesotho, Botswana and Malawi, to help free the next generation of HIV by not letting stigma thrive off silence.

One of these was 15 year old Dantaye, who explained how getting involved with boxing turned his life around, keeping him away from the influence of knife crime and helping him focus on his future.  Through his work on sport for social good over the last 10 years, The Duke has seen first-hand how sport can positively impact people’s mental fitness and the role it can play in helping change young people’s lives.  Giving them purpose, a safe space with community, core values and confidence to excel in life.  The Duke strongly believes that the investment of time and resources in youth programs (specifically with sport) is essential in helping save on funding, save lives and create stronger communities.  Made by sport launch: Made By Sport is a four year campaign championing the power of sport to change lives and raising vital funds for organisations that are using sport to transform the lives of young people in the UK. The campaign is delivered in collaboration the Sport For Development Coalition, a movement made up of over 60 charitable organisations and funders with a reach in to thousands of schools, communities, clubs and organisations. https://www.madebysport.com  https://www.instagram.com/p/ByndvMElcKP/?igshid=2n9afh07doin   Nepal: The Duke of Sussex has had a longstanding connection to The Ghurkas and the people of Nepal beginning at a very young age.  Today His Royal Highness held an audience with Nepal's Prime Minister, KP Sharma Oli, on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen. This is the first visit to the UK by a Nepali Prime Minister in 19 years.  The Duke has previously met KP Sharma Oli, on his first official visit to Nepal in March 2016, a country he had always longed to visit.  At the time, Nepal was recovering from a major earthquake - rural villages had been torn apart leaving many families displaced, with heritage sites in Kathmandu severely damaged. Despite this tragedy, The Duke was moved by the remarkable spirit, resilience and warmth of the Nepalese, as seen in the photos from his visit.  The Duke explored Nepal’s stunning natural beauty, trekking through a National Park, experiencing the Hindu Festival of Colour in the Himalayan village of Okhari and staying with a local family in Leorani village.  During the visit, HRH also met The Royal Gurkha Rifles at the British Gurkha Camp in Pokhara, whom are a unique unit of soldiers in the British Army recruited from Nepal. The Duke has a particularly close bond to The Gurkha’s, having served with The 1st Battalion in Afghanistan in 2007/2008.  The Gurkha’s have taken part in operations in Kosovo, Bosnia, East Timor, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Australia and Iraq and share a 203 year relationship with the UK. At the end of his 2016 visit, The Duke joined Team Rubicon volunteers to help a remote village whose community had been destroyed in the earthquake. @Teamrubiconuk unites the skills and expertise of military veterans with first responders to rapidly deploy emergency response teams in the aftermath of natural disasters. The Duke helped with the rebuild of the local school, giving children a safe space to go to school and study before the monsoon season arrived. https://www.instagram.com/p/BykgzMJFqWA/?igshid=hapcal314h4c Commonwealth: The Duke of Sussex celebrated  the 70th anniversary of the Commonwealth by attending a Garden Party at Marlborough House in his role as Commonwealth Youth Ambassador.

In this session 'Why Silence? at the start of the reflective day 'A Beginner's Guide to Silence', Richard Carter talks about how a beginner to keeping silence might approach a sacred time of silence. Recorded on Saturday 1 June 2019 at the Royal Foundation of St Katherine during a joint day of silence held in partnership with St Paul's Cathedral.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ http://www.bastabugie.it/it/articoli.php?id=5662INGHILTERRA FUORI CONTROLLO: 5 MEDICI SI DIMETTONO PER NON ESSERE COMPLICI DEI TRAUMI DEGLI ESPERIMENTI TRANSGENDER SU BAMBINI di Luca MarcolivioLa fortezza del gender battente bandiera britannica, fino a ieri inespugnabile, inizia a mostrare le prime crepe. È di un paio di settimane fa la clamorosa inchiesta del Times, scaturita dalle rivelazioni di cinque medici inglesi che hanno rassegnato le dimissioni dal Gender Indenty Development Service (Gids) di Londra, l'unica clinica d'Oltremanica specializzata nel curare la disforia di genere nei minori. Il motivo? I trattamenti ormonali e chirurgici per gli adolescenti sarebbero condotti in modo arbitrario e senza veri criteri scientifici.In altre parole, migliaia di bambini e ragazzi sono oggetto di un "esperimento" sulla loro pelle. I medici dimissionari, secondo quanto da loro affermato al Times, avrebbero ricevuto pressioni da parte di associazioni Lgbt - una su tutte, Mermaids - per la somministrazione di trattamenti ormonali irreversibili, per il blocco dello sviluppo sessuale secondo il genere di nascita. In alcuni casi, tali trattamenti iniziano addirittura a soli tre anni, quindi, verosimilmente per il capriccio dei genitori di volere un bambino transgender. A sedici anni, poi, secondo il protocollo, inizierebbe la somministrazione di ormoni del sesso opposto.Molti dei giovanissimi pazienti, nella sostanza, sarebbero stati avviati forzosamente verso la transizione ormonale irreversibile, senza dare loro la possibilità di una terapia alternativa di carattere psicologico e non farmacologico. Secondo le testimonianze, alcuni bambini ancora in conflitto con la propria identità sessuale, venivano identificati frettolosamente come transgender.«Negli ultimi due anni del mio lavoro, ho avuto la sensazione che un gran numero di bambini fosse in pericolo», ha confidato uno dei medici intervistati. «Io ero lì per proteggere i bambini dall'essere danneggiati». Un altro medico ha dichiarato: «Questo trattamento sperimentale è stato compiuto anche su bambini molto vulnerabili». Per i cinque medici, l'unica motivazione a non rassegnare inizialmente le dimissioni, era stata quella di evitare ai loro giovani pazienti un cambio di sesso giudicato troppo avventato.Parere unanime dei cinque (anche se in tutta la clinica, il numero di medici dimessisi per gli stessi motivi è pari a diciotto) è che tale «trattamento sperimentale» si sia rivelato «dannoso». Accuse respinte dalla struttura sanitaria. «Cerchiamo di aiutare i giovani e le loro famiglie a far fronte all'angoscia e a ridurla», è stata la replica ufficiale sul sito della (Gids). «Il nostro obiettivo è comprendere gli ostacoli che si frappongono tra i giovani e lo sviluppo di un'identità di genere più stabile e sicura».Ai cinque medici era assegnato il compito di decidere a quali pazienti somministrare i bloccanti ormonali per arrestarne lo sviluppo sessuale. Alcuni dei bambini e ragazzi sarebbero stati indotti ad avviare il trattamento dopo essere stati vittime di bullismo omofobico. Alcuni di loro tenderebbero ad assumere un'attitudine trans, con l'obiettivo più o meno consapevole di superare traumi come l'abuso o il lutto in famiglia o anche le conseguenze dello spettro autistico. Sono complessivamente 2519 i giovani mandati presso la clinica per avviare la terapia per il cambio di sesso. Nel 2010 erano stati "appena" 94.Nota di BastaBugie: ecco altre notizie dalla Gran Bretagna sul "gaio" mondo gay (sempre meno gaio).IL PRINCIPE HARRY SUPPORTA UNA LOBBY PRO BABY TRANSL'organizzazione inglese Sirene, che si occupa di bambini trans per facilitarsi nella cosiddetta transizione di genere, ha annunciato che il principe Harry appoggerà tramite la Royal Foundation le loro attività. La direttrice di Sirene Susie Green ha così commentato: "Penso che sia sempre molto importante per i giovani vedere le persone autorevoli e credibili come il Principe Harry supportarli e aiutarli"E così le lobby favorevoli al transessualismo dei bambini hanno trovato un testimonial reale.(Gender Watch News, 10 maggio 2019)ALCUNI MASCHI POSSONO AVERE IL CICLO (???)A Brighton un consiglio di insegnanti ha partorito un report di educazione sessuale dedicato agli studenti in cui si afferma che "le mestruazioni devono includere tutti i sessi", questo perché "Trans, ragazzi e uomini e persone 'non binary' possono avere il ciclo". Ovviamente ci si riferisce a donne diventate transessuali o donne che non si sentono né femmine né maschi. E dunque gli insegnanti hanno pensato bene di mettere il contenitore per gettare gli assorbenti in tutti i bagni anche in quelli maschili.Gli insegnanti hanno spiegato così questa delirante iniziativa: "Incoraggiando un'educazione efficace sulle mestruazioni e sulla pubertà, speriamo di ridurre lo stigma e garantire che nessun bambino o giovane si vergogni di chiedere prodotti per le mestruazioni all'interno o all'esterno della scuola se ne hanno bisogno. Il nostro metodo riconosce il fatto che alcune persone che hanno il ciclo sono trans o non binari".Dunque avere il ciclo sarebbe uno stigma sociale. Per essere tutti uguali, tutti, maschi compresi, devono essere in grado di avere le mestruazioni. Purtroppo non siamo tutti uguali, a partire dall'intelligenza.(Gender Watch News, 5 gennaio 2019)LICENZIATA DALLA SCUOLA PERCHÉ CONTESTA I CORSI LGBT RIVOLTI AL SUO BAMBINOLa sua "colpa" è stata criticare sulla sua pagina Facebook dei corsi imbevuti di propaganda Lgbt, adottati dalla scuola elementare frequentata dal figlio e facente capo alla Chiesa anglicana. Per questa ragione una quarantatreenne inglese, Kristie Higgs, madre di due bambini e sincera cristiana, è stata licenziata dalla scuola secondaria di Fairford (Inghilterra meridionale), la Farmor's School, in cui ha lavorato negli ultimi sei anni come assistente pastorale. Il licenziamento è arrivato nonostante il curriculum della Higgs fosse senza macchia, come riferisce il Daily Mail.I guai per la signora Higgs sono iniziati dopo aver pubblicato un post su Facebook, datato 24 ottobre 2018, in cui esortava i suoi contatti a firmare una petizione di Citizen Go contro l'educazione sessuale obbligatoria nelle scuole primarie, che secondo i piani del governo sarà effettiva da settembre 2020. «Stanno facendo il lavaggio del cervello ai nostri figli», scriveva la donna, avvertendo che ai bambini sarebbe stato insegnato che le relazioni omosessuali sono normali ed equivalenti al matrimonio, nonché la possibilità di "scegliere" il proprio sesso, a prescindere dal dato biologico. La Higgs esplicitava poi la conseguenza logica di un simile indottrinamento obbligatorio: «Significa che esprimere e insegnare le fondamentali credenze cristiane, relative alla creazione degli uomini e delle donne e al matrimonio, diverrà in pratica proibito, perché esse confliggono con la nuova moralità [...]». E aggiungeva che «questa è una tremenda forma di totalitarismo mirata a sopprimere il cristianesimo e rimuoverlo dalla sfera pubblica». Un'analisi che si può sottoscrivere per quanto è lucida.In un altro post la Higgs contestava due libri inclusi nel curriculum della scuola del suo bambino e pieni di omosessualismo e transessualismo (il titolo di uno dei due volumi dice già tutto: Reclaiming radical ideas in schools), scritti da un attivista Lgbt, Andrew Moffat, nell'ambito del programma No Outsiders, lo stesso già contestato dalle famiglie di una scuola elementare di Birmingham e sospeso perché allora, a chiedere lo stop dell'indottrinamento arcobaleno verso i propri figli, erano intervenuti un gran numero di genitori musulmani.Il procedimento disciplinare contro la Higgs è iniziato dopo la ricezione di un'email anonima in cui veniva accusata di «postare opinioni omofobe e preconcette». L'istituto, che adopera immagini e campagne comunicative del tutto prone all'ideologia arcobaleno, ha quindi fatto la sua bella indagine sui due post pubblicati via Facebook (che risultavano visibili solo agli amici della donna), arrivando al licenziamento della signora Higgs per condotta riprovevole, dettata da «discriminazione illegale», «grave uso inappropriato dei social media», «commenti online che potrebbero portare cattiva fama alla scuola e danneggiare la reputazione della scuola». Una criminale, probabilmente, sarebbe stata trattata meglio. Già dall'inizio dell'indagine, riferisce la madre inglese, «mi è stato ripetutamente detto: "Questo non ha nulla a che fare con la tua religione". Era chiaramente una tattica legale e ovviamente qui tutto ha a che fare con la mia religione».La Higgs ha chiesto aiuto legale al Christian Concern, un gruppo che si batte per la libertà di fede dei cristiani, e ha deciso di fare causa alla Farmor's School per licenziamento ingiusto. Non possiamo sapere come andrà a finire ma intanto un fatto è evidente: una madre e onesta lavoratrice ha perso il suo lavoro per aver manifestato delle idee di assoluto buonsenso, che erano ritenute scontate appena qualche anno fa ma che nelle nostre progreditissime società, sottomesse alla fantomatica tolleranza del "love is love", sono divenute motivo di persecuzione.(Ermes Dovico, La Nuova Bussola Quotidiana, 27 aprile 2019)

But the reality is it can feel profoundly difficult to know what that call might be. This day will offer the opportunity to explore your vocation, whoever you are, and whatever stage of life you’re at. It will include practical, prayerful ways through which we might discover God’s will for us, in particular by paying attention to how God speaks through our imaginations, hopes, dreams and desires, and through times of change, challenge and surprise.

A spiritual director and vocations advisor of many years’ standing, she has an MA in mentoring and coaching, has taught spiritual direction at Sarum College and is the author of Listening to Your Life: 30 ways to discern direction for your future (Canterbury Press 2016).

BBC and commercial radio stations around the UK united for the first time on 15th May 2018 to broadcast a one-minute message about mental health. The historic broadcasting aired on simultaneously at 10.59am, featuring globally famous voices talking about the stigma of mental health. With over 300 stations taking part, broadcasting to one of radio’s biggest collective audiences with an average listenership of 20 million, the Mental Health Minute was led by Radiocentre and The Radio Academy. The content was created and produced by content agency Somethin’ Else. The message sought to recognise Mental Health Awareness Week during the industry’s Radio Audio Week. It was supported by the Royal Foundation’s Heads Together campaign which launched in 2016 to change the national conversation on mental health and tackle the stigma that prevents people from getting the help they need.  Heads Together brings together The Royal Foundation and eight mental health charities including the Anna Freud Centre For Children and Families, Best Beginnings, CALM, Contact, Place 2 Be, Mind, The Mix, and Young Minds.

When Meghan mentioned #metoo at her first appearance with The Royal Foundation, she created quite a stir. The question on everyone's mind: Can a (future) duchess be political? Sean and Craig weigh in on how royals of the past from Victoria to Elizabeth II to Diana and now Meghan have exerted influence without overstepping their role. Eleanor Bennett joins the debate as Spoke's resident #metoo expert. Special thanks to Isabelle Mattinson for narration and to Jason Elrod for his whistling kettle. *Correction: Queen Elizabeth famously danced with the President of Ghana, not Nigeria, which is depicted in Season 2 of The Crown. Sean has been sent to The Tower of London to await his punishment for this error.

Kate has found herself with a penchant for high necks and long sleeves these days, Meghan loves a belted wrap dress... and they have both busted them out in several shades of blue in the last couple of weeks. Blue! Does it mean Kate's dropping a hint? *spoiler* UM, NO. In the first episode of The Throne Rangers podcast, Stacey and Beth cover off the recent Royal Foundation Forum, our distaste for the media moniker "The Fab Four", The Queen unveiling a plaque at the International Something-Something, and the rumour that Meghan has in fact had her hen do at a D-A-I-Y-E spa already, a titbit that raises Stacey's eyebrows about as far as they can go. A hen do so early? Without her mum? We smell a rat. So grab your tea and scones and dive right in to Episode One. She's a blinder. Find the accompanying blog post with links and pictures here. __ You can find Stacey at the Veggie Mama blog, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, and Beth at the Baby Mac Blog, Facebook and Instagram. If you too are a Royal Fam fan, feel free to chat with us on the socials with the hashtag #thronerangers. We are also taking listener requests, so hit us up - no topic is off-limits!

We are in a societal transition. The old is becoming - like real old and outdated, and the new has become the unknown and where do we go from here?!? Let me explain further. We don't grow as a society by continually turning to what worked in the past. It was far different then. The impact on families, relationships, jobs, our businesses, and how we related to each other was void of technical communications. There was no social media and internet, text, smart phones, smart watches that auto-read and measure your heartbeat. If you're lucky, you had a watch that kept the time, a phone in the house, and perhaps a few network channels on the family television - that's it! Fast forward to year of our Lord 2016 - and there is a small 'i' or 'e' in front of just about everything with the exception of your brain. But don't blink - that's coming soon! My point is, things have changed drastically - so you can't compare society back in 1950 or 1970 for that matter, to the struggles and frustrations of society today. My friends - we must focus on our MENTAL HEALTH if we are to be successful in answering society's call to correct itself - our else! Yes, there are many questions. How do we speak out on the shame and stigma around mental illness that hinders people who need it (which is most people) and move beyond it? How do we expand mental wellness in order to break free from the system that threatens to diagnose and label and limits the number of people comfortable, willing and able to access it? When do we stop blaming objects, theories, and strategies - and fess up to the fact that - people are delicate and complex creatures! America, pay attention. You want safe schools and movie theaters? You want to be able to walk down the road and return safely? Then perhaps we take a page from the new storyline that is coming from England. Seems the Royal Family is a step or two ahead of us... Prince William, Princess Kate and Prince Harry have launched a new joint initiative, The Heads Together Campaign to help tackle the stigma surrounding mental illness. "Mental health is just as important as physical health," Kate says in a video announcing the new initiative. The duchess has been an outspoken proponent of mental health awareness. Filmed in Kensington Palace, the video was released to tie in with the London Marathon today. Several of the royal trio's charities have gotten involved to support the initiative. "We can all play our part by talking and listening to each other and helping each other find support," said Harry, who is hoping to destigmatize the issue for current members of military and former service members. William summarized their mission: "Let's get our heads together and change the conversation on mental health." "It will be the biggest single project Their Royal Highnesses have undertaken together," read the statement from the Kensington Palace spokesman. "The Heads Together campaign aims to change the national conversation on mental wellbeing and will be a partnership with inspiring charities with decades of experience in tackling stigma, raising awareness, and providing vital help for people with mental health challenges." The Royal trio all wore blue Heads Together headbands with, Prince Harry keeping the atmosphere light with his brother and sister-in-law. With the support of their Royal Foundation, William, Kate and Harry will each draw attention to a different component of mental health. Prince Harry will focus on 'invisible injuries' many veterans face after they return from the battlefield. The Duchess of Cambridge will spearhead the initiative on 'challenges children and young people suffer'. Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, will 'raise the profile on bullying, cyber bullying and suicide among young men'. I am joined today to tackle this most important topic with Jennifer Carey, Ed.S,
