Get ready for some Katie and Danielle lore as we bring to life a couple of animals inspired by our favorite book series. Katie reveals the horrifying creature from the depths of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from the Harry Potter series, the legendary Basilisk and Danielle leads us bravely into the world of the Lord of the Rings to meet the majestic Shadowfax, Lord of all horses, brought to life as the Przelwalzski's Horse. Pack up your wand and your backpacking gear because as you may know we will definitely need people of intelligence on this sort of Mission... Quest... Thing!

Take a listen to Julia Golding and Jacob Rennaker's 10 out of 10 review of the edition, they’ll break it down to what we learn about Middle-earth, how Middle-earth influenced his view of our real world events, his relationships (particularly with his family) the wars and all aspect to the letters - there's so much to discuss and to enjoy!

Bilbo wakes up from his nap just in time to pass the Old Took; Alan and Shawn wake up from our nap just in time to pass the two-hour mark. Join The Man of the West and The Lord of the Mark as Sam finally figures out where Frodo is going in the last of our three episodes on The Grey Havens - and the final episode of our six-season journey through The Lord of the Rings. Gildor makes an appearance; Frodo makes a sacrifice; Sam makes the long journey home in silence (where the nights are gettin' strange since he's gone). We fanboy over Círdan, discover there was room for Shadowfax, and talk about a most Anglo-Saxon ending. Also, Bilbo and Frodo have words for Celebrimbor.
Dylan and Gavin are back this week to finish our journey through Middle Earth. We talk about the rest of the book, our opinions of the story as a whole, and decide our next series to go after. Enjoy guys, cheers!
Dylan and Gavin are back to talk about the Return of the true King, Shadowfax! Come enjoy as we talk through the first third of the book, and sing some much deserved praises, make bad jokes, and be ourselves. Cheers!
Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint, your weekday newscast that brings you five major stories from the world of business. It's Tuesday, May 7, 2024. My name is Nelson John. Let's get started:The public markets stayed largely flat on Tuesday. Sensex was marginally up, while Nifty fell by 0.15 percent.Linde India, an industrial gas giant, did better than the market indices yesterday: its shares were up 1 percent on the day. In the past two months, the company's share price has surged by 50 percent as investors have anticipated a windfall from Linde's parent company announcing multiple deals to supply gas in India. As India gears up to try and become a hub for semiconductor manufacturing, there are some unanswered questions regarding Linde's India business. Linde's parent company, which is listed in the US, had announced the proposed business deals in India. Investors assumed that these businesses would be carried out by the company's India arm. However, Linde hasn't provided any clarity over this matter at all, reports Nehal Chaliawala. This is an odd case of a parent company being at odds with a regional unit, and millions of retail shareholders might get hurt as a result.A few weeks ago, Elon Musk appeared pumped to come to India. He was going to meet the prime minister, as officials provided Tesla with a slew of benefits to sell the electric vehicle in India. But at the last minute, he cancelled this trip—and ended up in China instead. Musk was able to secure an approval for Tesla's self-driving cars to be sold in China as a result of this trip. This was crucial for the company: China is the world's largest market for EVs. These are some of the reasons why Musk rebuked India for China, write our partners at how india lives . com. Click the link to the story from the show notes in your app to see the charts accompanying this story.Indians love to shop — and they want their cart to be delivered to their doorstep. While metro cities have always enjoyed widespread service, e-commerce penetration has also improved in smaller towns of India. But it's not just online marketplaces that are reaping the benefits: logistics firms are enjoying the boom too. Priyamvada C writes that companies like Ecom Express, XpressBees, ShadowFax, and Delhivery are earning a significant chunk of their revenue from tier 2 and beyond cities. Priyamvada spoke to executives from the startup ecosystem for this story, one of whom told her that around 60% of growth is likely to come from smaller towns. Who doesn't like to save on tax? In India, the personal finance industry seemingly finds loopholes in no time. Often, these are plugged by the authorities. The rules for a particular type of tax-saving insurance scheme with expensive premiums were changed. Now, any premium above 5 lakh rupees gets taxed at your income tax rate. But since the loophole was plugged, expensive life insurances have seldom found buyers. But fret not: another loophole has been found, reports Aprajita Sharma. For whole-life insurance plans, insurers are offering a complex plan: one could avail a loan against the maturity proceeds of this scheme, tax-free. It's an interesting idea for the time being, but Aprajita recommends checking with your tax advisor before entertaining this idea.Pepsi versus coca cola has been a fight the world over. In most areas, Coke wins by a comfortable margin. But in a particular segment in India, Pepsi has the upper hand: the energy drinks market. You might have seen it in any given shop with a fridge: a small, bright red coloured plastic bottle named Sting. In just 6 years, Sting now makes up 15 percent of the total bottling capacity of Varun Beverages, the main bottler for Pepsi in India. Sting is a hit across social stratas, and at a starting price of 20 rupees, is the most popular energy drink in India. Red Bull created this segment the world over, but Sting is the king in India, and in nearby countries like Pakistan and Vietnam. Sumant Banerji writes about this wildly popular product, and what kind of potential it has in the Indian market right now.We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

ABOUT JOHN HUNTER AND MAPS AND LEGENDS: THE STORY OF R.E.M. Maps and Legends: The Story of R.E.M. by John Hunter, the most comprehensive biography of R.E.M. yet published. Maps and Legends covers not just the band's entire career, from Radio Free Europe to Collapse Into Now, but also delves deeply into the childhoods of each of the band members. It tells the story of each of the teenage bands one or more of the members played in before R.E.M. - among them Bad Habits, Shadowfax, the Back Door Band, Gangster, and the Wuoggerz - and concludes with a detailed look at the solo work of Peter Buck, Mike Mills, and Michael Stipe. Author John Hunter was born in 1968 in Raleigh, North Carolina. At the age of sixteen, he began to sneak into local clubs such as the Brewery and the Cat's Cradle, where he saw artists ranging from Black Flag, Hüsker Dü, and the Replacements to the dB's, Let's Active, and the Connells. From 1986 to 1991, he studied English at the University of Georgia, during which time he also performed at the 40 Watt Club, Uptown Lounge, and Rockfish Palace. He witnessed firsthand major events in R.E.M.'s career and in the larger Athens music scene during the second half of the 1980s.

This week we discussed transfers off of Shadowfax and Treebeard, the delay of Update 35.0.1, chickens in the Moors, and our week in gaming.
On this week's episode, we lay down the red carpet and shoot an innocent fox cub to celebrate the return of Shadowfax, Lord of the Ponies aka The Phantom Nose Whisperer of Letchworth aka Laurie. Join him as he reluctantly mixes with the common folk (Dan, Alex and Ben) to discuss his favourite games of all time and trust us when we say there are a few surprises on there. Let us know what you think of Laurie's list or just reach out to tell us what you had for dinner. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thecrossplayers/message

We revisited the theme of the Satanic Panic (which we covered in an earlier episode) but had a lively discussion on the historical conservative moral panics that seem to follow socially progressive eras; and more importantly, how they're continuing to unfold in current events. We talk about the fall of the Roman Republic, the fall of the Weimar Republic, social reactions to the Civil Rights Movement and second wave feminism in America in the late 60's/70's, the Satanic Panic in the 80's/90's, and the current iterations of cult guru Teal Swan and the Q Anon conspiracy theories. We draw heavily on the podcasts Conspirituality, Behind the Bastards, and You're Wrong About. For more about the fall of the Roman Republic, Lauren highly recommends The Storm Before The Storm by Mike Duncan or his podcast The History of Rome.

This week Kevin and Niseema talk about the Danish word "Hygge," which is a way of creating comfort and ease in your life. It is amazing how many ways we can create more comfort and ease in our daily rituals, from how we wake up in the morning, to how we live our day, to how we go to sleep.In the fall/winter season, there are so many ways to add pleasure to our lives, like wearing cozy wool socks, to making a cup of hot apple cider or hot chocolate. For the Danish, Hygge is a way of life, which explains why they are one of the happiest countries in the world.______________________________For more information or support contact hosts Kevin O'Donoghue LMHC or Niseema Dyan Diemer SEP at: info@thepositivemindcenter.com, or call 212-757-4488.

In our final show on Resilience, Kevin and Niseema talk about how "programming" in childhood can lead to inflexibility and a low level of resilience as an adult.Most often, children are programmed through negativity: "Don't do that. Don't touch that. Don't complain." This can force a child to create a "good child" persona that causes them to detach from a feeling self. They will carry this "good child" persona into adulthood, losing the capacity to be real to themselves, their friends or any future partner. Kevin and Niseema talk about ways to undo this terrible and destructive syndrome.----------------------------------------------For more information or support contact hosts Kevin O'Donoghue LMHC or Niseema Dyan Diemer SEP at: info@thepositivemindcenter.com, or call 212-757-4488.

This week Kevin and Niseema talk about the fear of letting people get close to you. How many people really know you? How many people do you feel close to? Closeness is often a trigger for most people. What happens to your body when people get too close?Kevin and Niseema explore the common fears that consciously or unconsciously keep relationships at an arm's length. The fear of being controlled, the fear of losing independence, the fear of vulnerability, all work to sabotage the desire for real closeness. This week's show talks about THE REWARD of letting go of those fears.

This week Kevin and Niseema talk about research into "memory" and how our adult brains impose a memory on to our childhood brain. Statistics consistently show that the adult brain often creates a faulty "memory" of incidents that happened in the past. It's as if the brain takes a photograph of a past event and then distorts or enhances the photograph. The brain will often create a faulty memory of what love looked like in our childhood, and then project this onto future loe relationships. It can be the cause of immense, and unnecessary, suffering. It is this faulty memory that we project onto our future love relationships.--------------------------For more information or support contact hosts Kevin O'Donoghue LMHC or Niseema Dyan Diemer SEP at: info@thepositivemindcenter.com, or call 212-757-4488.

Everything and everyone changes. What is revealed when the green leaves of summer turn so many varied colors? Each tree, each leaf, has specific traits to it. What if love's essence is an ability to see through the personality of our partner, to what is a completely unique constellation of traits that make them who they are. Kevin and Niseema explore the concept that it is this essence that delights us and makes us fall in love. Join us this week as we help you identify the traits of your partner that hint at their essence, and to also reflect on what they might see in you.______________________________________For more information or support contact hosts Kevin O'Donoghue LMHC or Niseema Dyan Diemer SEP at: info@thepositivemindcenter.com, or call 212-757-4488.

This week Kevin and Niseema talk about the Danish word "Hygge," which is a way of creating comfort and ease in your life. It is amazing how many ways we can create more comfort and ease in our daily rituals, from how we wake up in the morning, to how we live our day, to how we go to sleep.In the winter season, there are so many ways to add pleasure to our lives, like wearing cozy wool socks, to making a cup of hot apple cider or hot chocolate. For the Danish, Hygge is a way of life, which explains why they are one of the happiest countries in the world.______________________________For more information or support contact hosts Kevin O'Donoghue LMHC or Niseema Dyan Diemer SEP at: info@thepositivemindcenter.com, or call 212-757-4488.

Kevin and Niseema welcome Dr. Brenda Shoshanna, Ph.D. back to discuss her book, “Zen and the Art of Falling in Love.”Following up on last week's show, Dr. Shoshanna talks about how everyone says they want to be in love but are addicted to the habit of staying separate. Brenda talks about the practice of "Zazen," which is simply sitting still, noticing your breath, watching and not reacting to your passing thoughts. Similarly, in love, Brenda teaches us not to react to our passing feelings and emotions of the moment, but to simply commit your spirit to a flowing forward in love.___________________________________________________-For more information or support contact hosts Kevin O'Donoghue LMHC or Niseema Dyan Diemer SEP at: info@thepositivemindcenter.com, or call 212-757-4488.

In this week's show, Kevin and Niseema talk about how "programming" in childhood can lead to inflexibility as an adult and a low level of resilience. Most often, children are programmed through negativity: "Don't do that. Don't touch that. Don't complain." This can force a child to create a "good child" persona that causes them to detach from a feeling self. They will carry this "good child" persona into adulthood, and lose the capacity to be real to themselves or any future partner. Kevin and Niseema talk about ways to undo this terrible and destructive syndrome.----------------------------------------------For more information or support contact hosts Kevin O'Donoghue LMHC or Niseema Dyan Diemer SEP at: info@thepositivemindcenter.com, or call 212-757-4488.

In part 3 of our series on Resilience, Kevin and Niseema talk about the difference between "stress" and "strain." Are you "strained out?" Notice what happens when we change a familiar word like "stress" into a more accurate description like "strain." Most of us have been dealing with a lot of strain since COVID began. How are you doing with your "strain?"____________________________________________For more information or support contact hosts Kevin O'Donoghue LMHC or Niseema Dyan Diemer SEP at: info@thepositivemindcenter.com, or call 212-757-4488.

In part 2, Kevin and Niseema talk about defense mechanisms and this internal mechanism called The Engineer, which wants to keep us from changing. In this month of resolutions, it is important to understand how a part of us does not want to make any changes but wants us to stay the same. "The Engineer" will work to sabotage any kind of change you might want to make. This week's show is centered around learning how to have a dialog with, and make friends with, The Engineer, so you can make the changes you want to make._________________________________-------------------------For more information or support contact hosts Kevin O'Donoghue LMHC or Niseema Dyan Diemer SEP at: info@thepositivemindcenter.com, or call 212-757-4488.
