Find out more here: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/the-most-beautiful-small-towns-in-italyFood lovers will be delighted to know that Sicily is also home to 23 Michelin-starred restaurants, including three two-star establishments and twenty with one star.Tourissimo Tip–If you visit Corleone, you should definitely learn about the legacy of the Mafia. We in North America tend to have a romanticized view of the mafia, but for the locals, the history is more brutal. See some photos and learn more here: https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/letizia-battaglia-groundbreaking-photojournalist-who-fearlessly-documented-the-mafia-in-her-native-sicilySardiniaSardinia, the second-largest island in the Mediterranean after Sicily, is a rugged, rural paradise known for its natural beauty, deep-rooted traditions, and ancient history. The island is home to features like the Apennine Coast, the Adriatic Coast, and the Apennine Mountains. Most of Sardinia's population lives in the capital region of Cagliari, but much of the island remains untouched, offering visitors a glimpse into authentic Italian island life.One of Sardinia's most fascinating distinctions is that the Barbagia region is recognized as a Blue Zone—an area with an unusually high number of centenarians. This longevity is attributed to the region's healthy diet, active lifestyle, and strong sense of community. For outdoor enthusiasts, inland Sardinia offers some of the best biking and hiking experiences in all of Italy.Tourissimo Tip–What is a Blue Zone? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/blue-zoneThe island's coastlines are just as enticing. Costa Smeralda is often described as paradise on earth, with stunning beaches like Spiaggia di Tuerredda, Cala Goloritzé, and Spiaggia di Porto Giunco perfect for sunbathing and swimming. Don't miss the La Maddalena Archipelago National Park (Parco Nazionale dell'Arcipelago di La Maddalena), a protected area with crystal-clear waters and pristine landscapes.Charming towns such as Alghero, Bosa, and Cagliari add to the island's appeal. Many of Sardinia's towns are nestled in the mountains located in the island's center, offering a peaceful and scenic escape.Cultural and historical attractions abound. Must-see sites include the Nora Archaeological Park, Bastione di Saint Remy, Parco Archeologico Naturalistico di Santa Cristina, and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari. For an unforgettable natural wonder, venture into the Frecce delle grotte srl and Neptune's Grotto, stunning sea caves accessible by boat or stairs carved into cliffs.Sardinia is also home to a unique ancient civilization. Scattered across the island are over 7,000 nuraghe—megalithic stone structures built during the Nuragic Age (c. 1900–730 BC). These mysterious, tower-like buildings are the island's most iconic symbol, and some scholars believe there were once over 10,000 nuraghe structures in total.Religious architecture also impresses, with highlights like the Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta e Santa Cecilia, the Church of the Holy Trinity of Saccargia, and the Basilica di San Simplicio showcasing Sardinia's spiritual and artistic heritage.Sardinian cuisine reflects its mountainous geography. Surprisingly, for an island, the diet leans more toward land-based ingredients than seafood. Signature dishes include Porceddu (roast pig), Fregola (a traditional Sardinian pasta), and the adventurous Casu marzu—a sheep's milk cheese intentionally infested with live maggots and considered a local delicacy. Sardinia also holds 16 one-star Michelin restaurants.To accompany these flavors, try a glass of Cannonau red wine, known for its high polyphenol content and potential health benefits, or the refreshing Vermentino white wine, perfect for warm Mediterranean days.Tourissimo Tip–Magic Trick or Pasta Making? https://www.tourissimo.travel/blog/magic-trick-or-pasta-making From the Alps to the Mediterranean, each Italian region is a world of its own.

Scilla Bonfiglioli"La sposa del vento"Fazi Editorewww.fazieditore.itUn affascinante romanzo d'esordio sul pittore Oskar Kokoschka e l'amore fatale che lo legò ad Alma Mahler.Nella Vienna d'inizio Novecento, il giovane e solitario Oskar Kokoschka trasforma i suoi demoni in opere d'arte, suscitando sdegno e grande scandalo. Grazie all'aiuto del Maestro Klimt, l'artista riesce pian piano ad affermarsi frequentando i circoli intellettuali più prestigiosi e facendosi notare per l'eccezionalità del suo lavoro. Le visioni mostruose e inquietanti che lo tormentano ogni notte, tuttavia, non gli danno tregua, almeno fino all'incontro con la bellissima Alma Mahler, magnetica musa di numerosi artisti, da poco rimasta vedova del celebre musicista. Il sentimento che travolge Oskar lo libera momentaneamente dai demoni che lo perseguitano e lo porta a vivere il periodo più fortunato della sua carriera, in cui produrrà capolavori indimenticabili come La sposa del vento, dipinto immaginifico ispirato al suo amore per Alma. Quando però la donna decide di lasciarlo e l'Europa è sconvolta dall'incubo della guerra, Oskar precipita di nuovo nell'abisso e, in preda al delirio, si fa costruire una bambola con le fattezze dell'amata, che paradossalmente lo aiuterà a dimenticarla.In una Mitteleuropa ormai al tramonto, nell'imminenza della prima guerra mondiale, il romanzo ricostruisce le atmosfere dei circoli culturali del tempo dando vita alle passioni, ai turbamenti e alle manie di uno degli artisti più innovativi e originali del secolo scorso.La sposa del vento è il racconto di un'ossessione sullo sfondo di un continente in decadenza, il resoconto incalzante di una storia tormentata e bruciante che si nutrì delle visioni del pittore rappresentando un momento unico nella storia dell'arte.Alma e Oskar erano il centro immutabile della tela, rannicchiati in un letto che era una barca alla deriva, stretti in mezzo ai turbini incontrollati della tempesta. Un viaggio abissale.«Allora, cosa te ne pare?».Alma fissava il quadro senza dire una parola.Il silenzio era pesante, interrotto solo dai tuoni che facevano vibrare i vetri del solaio.«Siamo proprio noi».Scilla Bonfiglioli, è nata nel 1983 a Bologna dove vive e lavora come istruttrice di aikido. Laureata in Discipline teatrali e Storia del teatro presso l'Alma Mater Studiorum, ha lavorato per anni come attrice, regista e autrice teatrale. Seguendo sua madre nella professione di guida turistica, si è immersa fin da bambina nella storia dell'arte, appassionandosi in particolare alle arti figurative e alle storie degli artisti di ogni epoca e paese.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

INTRODUCTIONIf I say: “logging, wood, and paper”? Would Ancient Forests and Indigenous People's rights come to your mind? Do you know if and how far the Forest Stewardship Council is acting in protecting that? I am talking about the FSC certification that you can find on several packaging and more. Off we go! It is time to go over it with a fine-tooth comb with our enthralling guest, Peter Wood.  FSC is the first of a series of “Certifications Spotlight: Truths and Traps” audio clips. They will all unravel the mysteries behind the logos, certifications, and declarations you find on packaging. Let's equip you with knowledge and critical thinking to decipher:its meaning,its application,its grey areas,and its pros and cons. HERE ARE THE RECOMMENDED RESOURCES The PhD of Peter Wood that evaluates the changes that companies have to make in order to meet FSC certification: https://tspace.library.utoronto.ca/bitstream/1807/17844/1/Wood_Peter_J_200906_PhD_thesis.pdfThe criteria for FSC in BC merged with the Canada-wide standard: https://connect.fsc.org/document-centre/documents/resource/181The very interesting expose: Alecci, Scilla. 2023.

Have a look at his work here. I am happy to bring a sample of our strong bonds on these sound waves. Since I was a child, he made me discover a wide range of music of all kinds. I am also delighted he is a nature lover and shares the Look4Loops 'out of the box philosophy'. He is an inspiring source of creativity for me.

We all know that we need to reconnect to our HeartMinds and to bring our Heart Intelligence up to meet the explosion of left brain intelligence - we just don't know how to do it. This week's guest is one of my living heroes - who does have clear, grounded ideas of how to do this. Dr Scilla Elworthy was thirteen years old when she saw the Soviet Invasion of Hungary on the television and understood the horror of what was happening. Her mother found her packing a case to go to Budapest to help and managed to persuade her to stay home by promising she'd help to train her to be what the world needed. When she was sixteen, she worked in a holiday camp for Auschwitz survivors, and sat peeling potatoes and listening to them talk of their suffering. Since then, she has been nominated three times for the Nobel Peace Prize for her work with Oxford Research Group to develop effective dialogue between nuclear weapons policy-makers worldwide and their critics. In 2003 Scilla founded Peace Direct, to work closely with locally-led peace building initiatives throughout the world, bringing us daily experience in how to help prevent violent conflict and build sustainable peace throughout the world.She has written numerous books, given numerous TED and TEDx talks and now leads The Business Plan for Peace to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of transforming destructive conflict. She was awarded the Niwano Peace Prize in 2003 and the Luxembourg Peace Prize in 2020. She is one of the clearest, most grounded thinkers I have ever met and she's working tirelessly to create the future we'd be proud to leave behind. I was more than a little star-struck, but this was a genuinely heart-felt conversation and I hope listening to it leaves you feeling as heart-connected as it did me. The Mighty Heart https://mightyheart.co.uk/TED Talk: Fighting with Non Violence https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk3K_Vrve-ETEDx Talk: Dare to Question: Why are we so afraid of getting older https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6zenOjPC1ATEDx Talk: How do I deal with a bully without becoming a thug? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgWyolwBGgETEDx Talk: The Future Belongs to those who can see it  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWDl1PqGjqYTEDx Talk: Do something - OK, but how? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYlhHkLgBWATEDx Talk: The Business Plan for Peace https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vH1WgurH5FAConversations in Compassion w Dr Scilla Elworthy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3C5BMRDYzc8Book: Pioneering the Possible https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/pioneering-the-possible-awakened-leadership-for-a-world-that-works-scilla-elworthy/3218709?ean=9781583948620Books: The Mighty Heart in Action and The Business Plan for Peace https://mightyheart.co.uk/media/

Odisseo e i compagni tornano nell'isola di Circe, che dà minuziose istruzioni e consigli sul viaggio che essi stanno per compiere. L'eroe riesce cosí a sfuggire all'incantevole richiamo delle sirene; supera, pur se con perdite dolorose, lo stretto di Scilla e Cariddi; infine, la ciurma giunge nell'isola di Trinachia, dove sono custodite le vacche del Sole. Nonostante i ripetuti divieti di Odisseo, i compagni uccidono e mangiano le vacche. Alla ripartenza delle navi, una terribile bufera si abbatte sugli itacesi e lascia superstite il solo Odisseo. Lettura di Andrea Doda. Montaggio a cura di Davide Massimo. Musiche originali di Emanuele Savagnone. Traduzione di Dora Marinari (La Lepre Edizioni 2012). In collaborazione con La Lepre Edizioni.

This is part 20 of the Early Church History class. So far we've been focusing primarily on Christianity within the Roman Empire in Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East--the land surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. Nevertheless, Christianity also spread south to Africa, north to Armenia, and east to Asia where it reached Persia, India, and China. Hopefully this session will counterbalance the Mediterranean focus we've had so far, expanding your perspective to be a little more global.

Who is Sean Finnegan?  Read his bio here —— Notes —— Africa First Century Jesus took refuge in Africa as a baby (Matthew 2:13-15) An African from Cyrene carried Jesus' cross (Mark 15:21). At Pentecost, Jews from Egypt and Libya were present (Acts 2:10). At Antioch, Simeon called Niger and Lucius of Cyrene were part of the Jew-Gentile mixed church (Acts 13:1). Egypt By the 2nd c., New Testament scriptures were translated into Coptic. Alexandria was a center for Christianity (Clement, Origen, Arius, Alexander, Athanasius). Maghreb (North Africa) Christianity attested from at least the second century through martyrs of Scilla in Numidia and Perpetua and Felicitas in Carthage. Tertullian, Cyprian, Novatian, Donatus, and Augustine Ethiopia Frumentius and Edesius became slaves to the King of Axum. Athanasius of Alexandria ordained Frumentius a bishop. King Ezana became a Christian between 330 and 350. In the late 5th c., the nine saints came and founded monasteries, including at Debre Damo. In the 6th c., King Kaleb crossed the Red Sea to defeat Du Nawas, king of Himyar (Yemen). He then rebuilt the churches there and spread Christianity in the region. Nubia In the second half of the 6th c., Christian missionaries began converting key people in Makuria. Makuria became a mighty kingdom that held off the Muslims in the 7th c. Armenia Christianity spread to Armenia from the south (Syria) and west (Constantinople). Gregory the Illuminator (Grigor Lusavorich) preached Christianity, but ran afoul of King Tiridates III (r. 298-330) who imprisoned him. Gregory converted Tiridates who declared Armenia a Christian Nation (c. 301). Mashtots (d. 440) knew Armenian and Greek. Worked under Catholicos Sahak (r. 387-438) to create Armenian letters and translate scriptures into Armenian Eznik (380-455) was a disciple of Mashtots who represented Armenia at the Council of Ephesus (431). Eznik wrote Refutation of the Sects, which survives today. Asia India Thomas the Apostle (50s) In 240, The Acts of Thomas claimed that the Apostle Thomas travelled to India during the reign of King Gundaphar (first century). Ephrem the Syrian and Jerome mention Thomas in India, though Origen and Eusebius put Thomas in Parthia. Local tradition in southwest India claims Thomas came there, and they call themselves “Thomas Christians” to this day. Travel was available between the Roman Empire and India. Samuel Moffett: “ [M]ost opinions range from ‘possible' to ‘probable,' with a discernible trend toward the latter position.”[1] Pantaenus (180 or 190) Eusebius and Jerome claim Pantaenus went to India on a trip Pantaenus' disciples, Clement and Origen, seem to have a good knowledge of India. David of Bassora (300) preached in India. Bishop Theophilus the Indian (d. 364) Traveled to India on behalf of Emperor Constantius and found Christians in India He said they were different in some customs, but they agreed with him that the Son was “other in substance” than the Father. Cosmas the Indian Voyager (Indicopleustes) Reports about Christians on Taprobane Island (Sri Lnaka) in the 6th c. Persia Also called the Nestorian Church after Nestorius, bishop of Constantinople (r. 428-431) Jewish pilgrims from Parthia were at Pentecost in Jerusalem (Acts 2:9). Syrian Christians from Edessa spread to Persia. 340s Sassanian King Shapur II persecuted Christians, martyring 16,000. 410 Council of Seleuci-Ctesiphon (aka Council of Mar Isaac) King Yazdegerd I (r. 399-421) organized Christians in the Sassanian Empire and officially showed toleration, though Zoroastrianism remained the official state religion. 424 Church of the East declared independence from the Church of the Roman Empire. China Christianity is clearly attested starting in 635 when Alopen, the Nestorian missionary, came. It is likely that the Chinese came in contact with Christians from the nomads who lived on the other side of the Great Wall of China at the end of 6th c. Review Christianity spread to Africa from the first century in Egypt, the Maghreb, and Ethiopia. King Ezana of the Axumite Empire became a Christian due to evangelism of Frumentius in the 330s. Athanasius of Alexandria ordained Frumentius Bishop and ensured that homoousion Christianity would take root. Christianity spread throughout Axumite Empire in the fifth century through the work of the nine saints who built monasteries, including the one at Debre Damo. In the sixth century, King Kaleb defeated the King of Himyar (Yemen) at the behest of the Roman Emperor to protect Christians and rebuild their churches. Armenia became Christian through missionaries from Syria in the south and from Constantinople in the west. Grigor Lusavorich (Gregory the Illuminator) converted King Tiridates III, who then sponsored the conversion of Armenia in 314. In the fifth century, Mashtots worked with a team to invent the Armenian alphabet and translate the Bible and many other Christian documents into Armenian. Although certainty is not possible, it is probably that the Apostle Thomas brought Christianity to India in the first century and Pantaenus visited in the second century. Bishop Theophilus, the Indian, visited India in the 350s and reported the Christians there were subordinationists who believed the Son was "other in substance." Persia had Christians from the first century, first from Jewish pilgrims who attended Pentecost, then through Syrian evangelistic efforts centered in Edessa. Christians living under the Sassanian rule of King Shapor faced brutal persecution, torture, and martyrdom in the 340s. The Council at Seleucia-Ctesiphon of 410 ended the persecution and gave structure to Christianity within the empire, though Zoroastrianism remained the official state religion. In 424, Persian Christianity declared itself independent of Roman Christianity. In the sixth century, nomads beyond the Great Wall of China likely brought Christianity in contact with the Chinese.

Nel primo pomeriggio di martedì 2 maggio, con i nostri Degiornalist - Fabiana Paolini e Claudio Chiari - è stato ospite Guglielmo Scilla, youtuber, attore, conduttore e volto noto del web, per parlare di Italy Bares, il progetto d'ispirazione americana che dà vita a un evento di beneficienza in risposta alla poca sensibilizzazione riguardo a HIV e AIDS. Quest'anno l'evento porterà sul palco del Teatro Repower di Milano, l'11 maggio, il musical Secondo tempo. Anche per questa quarta edizione Anlaids Lombardia - di cui Radio Number One è partner - ricoprirà il doppio ruolo di produttore e beneficiario: infatti, tutti i proventi raccolti con i biglietti dello spettacolo verranno donati in beneficienza per combattere HIV, AIDS e sensibilizzare il pubblico per una cultura della prevenzione, contro ogni forma di stigmatizzazione. L'anno scorso, grazie allo spettacolo Rewind, sono stati raccolti 124mila euro!

Tina Westerlund botaniserar i hav av scillor, Maj-Lis Pettersson pratar öronvivlar och varför kan pyralider inte bara förbjudas? Den här tiden på året sprider scillor ut sig som blåa mattor på vissa ställen, uppskattade av både människor och pollinatörer. Odlas expert på perenner Tina Westerlund berättar om dessa rara lökväxter, tidiga källor till näring för pollinatörer och uppskattade av fritidsodlare. Hon berättar vad de har för ursprung och också att det finns de som är oroliga för att de blåblommiga mattorna ska sprida sig från trädgårdar ut i naturen och ta över för mycket. Kemikalieinspektionen har skärpt en del av reglerna för böndernas användning av giftiga pyralider, så att risken minskar för att de ska sprida sej till fritidsodlingen. I flera år har rester av bekämpningsmedel från jordbruket drabbat fritidsodlare genom växtnäring och djurgödsel. Pyraliderna används för att döda vissa växter, men de är inte farliga för människor och djur, säger Sara Furuhagen, ekotoxikolog på Kemikalieinspektionen. Växtskyddsexpert Maj-Lis Pettersson svarar på lyssnarfrågor om mjöldagg på aster och öronvivlar på ligusterhäck. Har du en fråga?

Esta emisión de “Estación Piazzolla” recordó la colaboración de Astor junto al célebre cantante de boleros, Roberto Yanéz, la cual tuvo lugar en el año 1962 paralelamente al lanzamiento del disco “Nuestro tiempo”. Yanéz inició su carrera artística desde muy pequeño participando en programas de radio en córdoba, ejecutando la guitarra y el piano desde muy temprana edad. Perfeccionó su técnica en el conservatorio provincial de música y tras su paso por el servicio militar se radico en Buenos Aires donde incursionó como pianista y cantante de boleros, jazz, música tropical y tangos, sus primeros éxitos surgieron en 1958 y en 1962 fue convocado por Astor para la grabación en conjunto. En la Segunda parte del programa, Victór Hugo repasó una de las primeras giras por el interior del país junto al quinteto, la presentación en el primer festival de cine de Rio Hondo en Santiago del Estero, anécdotas de esa gira y la creación del tema “La bicicleta blanca”, como así también el nacimiento de la Camerata porteña como una propuesta de Astor al maestro Marcelo Rodríguez Scilla.

Emanuela Valentini"Le lacrime delle sirene"Edizioni Piemmehttps://www.edizpiemme.it/Una sirena. È ciò che vede galleggiare sul pelo dell'acqua un pescatore accorso nella notte a controllare la sua barca dopo una terribile tempesta a Punta Ligea, dove la costa calabrese si protende verso lo Stretto. Assomiglia alla polena di una nave, tanto è perfetta. Ma quando la sirena lo guarda, appena prima di inabissarsi, lui capisce di essere di fronte al mito che ogni marinaio conosce, quello delle regine dei mari.Sul posto viene chiamata Stella, una sommozzatrice che con l'acqua ha un legame particolare da quando il mare si è preso sua sorella. La sirena è in realtà un'adolescente bellissima, mutilata, i piedi a formare una pinna e un ciondolo adagiato sul petto. L'ispettore incaricato delle indagini vorrebbe coinvolgerla, ma Stella è irremovibile, ha promesso a sé stessa e a sua figlia che avrebbe chiuso per sempre con quella vita. Intendono partire per Roma per ricostruire un'esistenza lontana dai ricordi e dagli incubi del presente. Quando è sul punto di salutare tutti, però, Stella scopre che c'è un legame di sangue tra la sua famiglia e quell'incomprensibile morte. La sirena riguarda in qualche modo il suo passato. E Stella capisce che spetta a lei fare luce sulla vicenda, anche se questo significa rischiare di affogare nel mare dei ricordi.Come ne Le segnatrici, Emanuela Valentini esplora il mondo delle credenze popolari e dei miti ancestrali ancora vivi nel nostro Paese. E va in profondità in questa dimensione oscura e occulta portandoci con il fiato sospeso fino all'ultima, imprevedibile, pagina.Emanuela Valentini vive e lavora a Roma come editor freelance.Ha vinto numerosi premi per la narrativa breve e ha pubblicato in digitale il serial Red Psychedelia.

It'll soon be safe to go back in the water – which is good news for Lionel after he lost his sunglasses to the Strait of Messina while recording this episode of The Cycling Podcast from Scilla. Lionel joins Daniel Friebe to discuss stage five which, as expected, went the way of the sprinters – although it wasn't without drama along the way. The Giro d'Italia lost one superhero in powder blue yesterday when Miguel Angel Lopez pulled out of the race and another Astana man announced his impending retirement, which will leave a shark-shaped hole in Italian cycling. Vincenzo Nibali, twice a winner of the Giro, arrived in his home town of Messina and announced his plan to retire at the end of the season. We hear from Ciro Scognamiglio about that, we unpick Jumbo-Visma's disappointing day on Etna yesterday with their sports director Addy Engels and ask if Richie Porte is right – is Romain Bardet a great outside bet for this Giro? Team DSM coach Matt Winston talks about how they are managing the great French hope. There's the light and shade of Sicily to discuss and much more.

Jack Nash – John (Prime) Reggie Carlisle – John (Beta) Trae Mowaka- Jesse GM- Tod Foley Frank and Reggie listen to each other's stories. and Reggie begins to feel a strong connection to Frank - both are pilots, both are dreamers - and he wants to find him. Trae makes it to the parking lot, where security is preparing the building for lockdown. Trae grabs a guard and shoves a gun to his head, convincing him to cough up the location of "The Franks". Trae gets to the third floor just as the building goes into lockdown. He enters the room to find twelve tanks, with ten identical human males laying in them. Trae grabs one, pulls his head out of the gel and shouts "Are you Frank?" Out in the spacetime cube, Frank hears Trae's question. "I think he found me," he says. “That's Trae!” Reggie shouts, “He did it!” But Frank says it's not so simple. Once you lose track of dream levels, he says, there's no way to figure out where the “real you” is. Reggie stares down into the swirling lava and thinks about his dreams, his paintings, this spiraling shape, his vision of the Chao, and Scilla, and now Frank, and how it's all connected. He decides there's only one way to find out just how connected. Lucid dreaming his body into a "dissolution solution", Reggie drops into the caldera. Back on Earth, the clones are sedated, unable to communicate. Trae puts a bullet through its head and moves on to the next tank. As he does so, the Frank in the spacetime cube falls to the ground in mind-splitting agony. The blue room begins destabilizing. Alarms are sounding. There are voices in the hallway. After shooting another Frank, Trae notices that reality is falling apart. Trae sprays automatic fire across the room. Someone opens the door, and a pink vaguely-humanoid blob tumbles into the room. All sound stops, and all color drains from space. Matter is beginning to disintegrate. Another Frank's head explodes, and another. The walls have disappeared. Trae continues spraying bullets and outside of space and time, Frank feels every shot pierce his body. The world ends. There is nothing but whiteness. For a very long time. Trae drifts in the whiteness, screaming. Days? Weeks? Nash hears him and moves to his side, grabbing him by the hand. Trae stops screaming. The whiteness is Reggie. It doesn't know whether or not it wants to wake up. It's very comfortable being the whiteness. But then he thinks of Nash, whose tear-streamed face was the last thing he saw, and he knows he can't leave him alone. Reggie focuses his dreaming powers and tries to take form again, but only succeeds halfway. Frank pulls himself together and decides enough is enough. He realizes that since Reggie's dissolution didn't change anything, this dream must all be his own: or else Cordoba's, in which case they're all fucked anyway. He dreams Reggie back to form again. "Let me help you," Frank says. A gun has appeared in his hand, and he holds it to his temple. "Wake up, Frank." He pulls the trigger. Blood and grey matter spray out the side of Frank's skull and everything stops existing. Nash, Reggie, and Trae find themselves standing on the dirt shoulder beside the road. Nash and Reggie are both naked. Trae is still clothed, his gun is in his hand. The air is cool. It's a crisp winter's day, no signs of chaos, lockdown, or panic. Just peace and quiet. They look down the road, toward the gleaming dome of the Somnambula building. http://daytrippersrpg.com https://www.patreon.com/asif http://www.fictioneers.net/ https://www.birdscoffeecompany.com/coffees/legends-of-tabletop-legendary-brew Use Code Legends10 to get 10% off your order https://www.patreon.com/legendsoftabletop Theme music created by Brett Miller http://www.brettmillermusic.net/

In this episode, Susan speaks with Scilla Elworthy Ph D. three times nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her work with the Oxford Research Group, which she founded in 1982 to develop effective dialogue between nuclear weapons policy-makers worldwide and their critics. She founded Peace Direct in 2002 to fund, promote and learn from local peace-builders in conflict areas. Dr. Elworthy has been an adviser to Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Sir Richard Branson in setting up “The Elders”, an independent body of global leaders working for peace, and her TED talk on nonviolence has been viewed 1,400,000 times. Her latest book, The Business Plan for Peace is a clear and very readable how-to to create a world beyond war. Scilla also co-founded Rising Women, Rising World in 2013 and Femme Q in 2016 to establish the qualities of feminine intelligence that are so needed by both women and men to build a safer world. For Susan, this guest, more clearly than anyone, links to her passion of connecting gender and peace. Susan asks Scilla to speak to “women worldwide” about why it's time to step into our leadership on the issue of war and peace. “We have research-based evidence that indicates that preventing war is not difficult” Scilla tells us. “We know what we can do and we know what we shouldn't be doing in order to get war to stop--we just haven't done it. The first thing we need to stop doing is spending $1,686 billion annually on militarization. $30 billion would eliminate starvation worldwide and $10 billion would bring clean water to every child on the planet. Many people haven't noticed how enormous this spending really is and how much it is costing society.” Scilla describes how, in the last 20 years or so grassroots peacebuilding organizations worldwide working within their local communities have grown from 350 to 1600! She tells the story of a woman named Gulalai Ismail who lives in Northwest Pakistan –perhaps the most dangerous place in the world to be a woman, and the same place from whence came Malala. Through her conflict prevention efforts, Gulalai has been able to dissuade hundreds of suicide bombers from their mission. In the interview, Scilla observes that the 5 permanent members of the UN Security Council are also the biggest arms sellers in the world. This is an irony that we all need to be more aware of. Susan and Scilla talk about the amazing example of Leymah Gbowee and her Nobel award winning work to end the civil war in Liberia. Dr. Elworthy has gotten to know many grassroots organizations globally who are working to prevent war in their regions and has found that the organizations that are woman-run are having a greater impact. Dr. Elsworthy provides an example of a violent episode where a crowd was about to lynch someone. A trained woman would enter the mob and raise her hand, palm forward and shout, “Stop this. Go home. Your mother would be ashamed of you.” There would be complete silence and the crowd would disband. Dr. Elworthy does not use the word “patriarchy” much because she believes that both men and women are capable of embodying what she calls “masculine intelligence” and “feminine intelligence.” The reality of the history of the last 3000 years is that most, if not all, major decisions have been made using masculine intelligence and what we are left with is a series of wars. Scilla talks about her early childhood and the seeds that were planted in her to become a peacebuilder, as well as the inner critic she has had to face to do her best work. She advises that, when you combine what breaks your heart with what you're skilled at, you will be most effective and ultimately full of hope and joy instead of anguish and anxiety. Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa is the most joyful person she has ever met and he has experienced some of the most brutal things in the world. Please listen to this amazing episode. You will not be disappointed.
