Si la guérilla kurde du Parti des travailleurs du Kurdistan, le PKK, est née en Turquie à la fin des années 1970, c'est au Kurdistan irakien voisin qu'elle a installé ses quartiers généraux. Les combats s'y sont déportés et même concentrés : depuis 2022, l'armée turque mène une opération militaire d'envergure dans la vallée d'Amedi en Irak, véritable occupation du territoire où les populations civiles sont prises au piège. L'officialisation, le 12 mai, de la dissolution du groupe insurgé kurde qui mettrait un terme à plus de 40 ans de lutte armée, suscite les espoirs d'un retour à la vie normale, même si beaucoup craignent que la présence militaire turque se prolonge. De notre envoyé spécial de retour d'Amedi,Deux jours après l'annonce par le Parti des travailleurs du Kurdistan de sa volonté à s'engager dans un processus de paix avec la Turquie, le calme règne dans le petit village de Guharzé, au Kurdistan irakien. Shayda, 19 ans, nous ouvre les portes de son jardin. Une sérénité qui contraste avec la violence de ces derniers mois : « Le 27 octobre dernier, nous étions tous en train de dîner, il n'y avait pas particulièrement de combats ce soir-là, alors, nous ne nous y attentions pas, quand soudain, il y a eu un immense fracas, nous sommes sortis précipitamment de la maison, nous ne pouvions rien voir avec la fumée et la poussière dans nos yeux. »Le père de Shayda nous emmène au fond du jardin, il désigne un cratère creusé à une dizaine de mètres de la bâtisse : « Une rocket tirée par un drone est tombée juste là. Regardez, ici, le plafond s'est effondré, les murs sont fissurés, toutes les fenêtres ont été soufflées vers l'intérieur de la maison. Nous avons vidé quatre brouettes de fragments de la bombe… »La bombe qui s'est écrasée sur le jardin de Shayda et son père a été larguée par un drone turc. Malgré la rumeur de la paix, leur ronronnement discret est incessant dans le ciel de Guharzé. Sur une pente rocailleuse à la sortie du village, nous retrouvons son chef, Ahmed, il fait paître ses 200 chèvres dans un enclos bien trop étroit : « Si l'on s'éloigne du village, on risque d'être pris pour cible. Ou les drones vont se mettre à nous tourner autour dans le ciel, ils vont nous forcer à rentrer avec nos chèvres. C'est pour ça qu'on ne quitte pas le village. On se fait tirer dessus. Avant, nous vivions plus haut dans la montagne, nous avions des vignes, des arbres fruitiers, nos fermes.

On this episode of Do It Again But Better, Jess chats to actors and co-directors Eve Morey and Claire Frost, following their recent Fringe show Instructions not Included, written by Claire. Tune in as they share notes on writing, intimacy coordination, the joys of producing, being asked to audition inside a fast food chain, blowing your NIDA callback, and discovering your own Wikipedia page.Claire's debut play, "Instructions Not Included", is a manifestation of the two sides of her professional personality battling to be heard. One part of her is an actor, disillusioned with her future in acting. The other part is a marketing professional, using her experience and knowledge to find the confidence she needs to move through the world. Throughout Claire's experience as an actor, the role of marketing in theatre and film has always captivated her. When Claire finished her Creative Arts degree at Deakin University, she went to The National Theatre Drama School. Claire completed a Masters of Marketing Communications at the University of Melbourne to engage with the field from an educated perspective. In 2019, Claire returned to acting, completing the Part Time program at the Howard Fine Acting Studio Australia as well as participating in the Acting Masterclass with Howard Fine.After graduating from NIDA in 2006, Eve has worked as an actor on stage and screen for the past 18 years. Eve is probably most recognised for her nearly decade-long role as Sonya Rebecchi on the long-running serial drama, Neighbours. Eve earned a Silver Logie Nomination for Best Actress and a Gold Logie Nomination in 2019 for her work. Eve's more recent acting credits include Mystery Road (S2), Total Control (S2) and More Than This, as well as the Sundance award-winning film, Shayda. In early 2019, Eve began to pursue her passion for supporting actors in performance through the role of Acting Coach/Dramaturg, before heading to the UK later that year to undertake Intimacy Coordinator training with Ita O'Brien. As an IC, Eve has supported various screen productions including the feature film, Shayda (Sony Picture Classics), as well as numerous television productions with her more recent credits including Surviving Summer (Netflix), White Fever (ABC) and the yet to be released, Apple Cider Vinegar (Netflix). Following her character's departure from Neighbours, Eve worked as the serial drama's resident dramaturg/acting coach for three years.You can find Claire on Instagram at @clairefrostYou can find Eve on Instagram at @morey.eveYou can find your host, Jess Stanley, on Instagram at @jstanny or at www.jessicastanleyactor.comYou can check out Jess's theatre company, Spinning Plates Co. at @spinningplatesco or at www.spinningplatesco.comYou can follow the Do It Again But Better podcast at @doitagainbutbetterThis podcast was created, recorded and edited on the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation.

The latest film releases are Dune: Part 2, Spaceman, Shayda, and Problemista. Weighing in are Alison Willmore, film critic for NY Magazine and Vulture, and Tim Grierson, Senior U.S. Critic for Screen International and the author of This Is How You Make a Movie.

To get financial aid for college, prospective students must fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The process is now massively delayed. Fair Shake, a Super PAC backed by Silicon Valley money, is running attack ads against Democrat Katie Porter. Who are they, and why are they so against Porter? Critics review the latest film releases: “Dune: Part 2,” “Spaceman,” “Shayda,” and “Problemista.” Comedian Richard Lewis died Tuesday at 76. The stand-up was a late-night regular who had a career renaissance on HBO's “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Puntarelle is a slightly bitter, unusual variety of chicory. Their shoots are hollow, and when prepared in thin strips, they offer a satisfying crunch.

The journalist and broadcaster Ellen E. Jones explores the immense potential of film to challenge the status quo in her book, Screen Deep: How Film And TV Can Solve Racism And Save The World. She explores different genres from superheroes and westerns to horror and arthouse. And she argues that such a popular art form - either shared in the cinema, or beamed direct into your home – revels in the diversity of its story-telling. The Iranian-Australian filmmaker Noora Niasari has chosen to draw from her own personal experience in her debut feature, Shayda (open in cinemas across the UK & Ireland on Friday 8th March 2024). Set in a women's shelter, the film explores what it means for an Iranian woman to divorce her husband and fight for a new life for herself and her child. But what about other art forms and the stories they tell? The Royal Academy's latest exhibition – Entangled Pasts: Art, Colonialism and Change (until 28th April) – places work from the 18th century alongside contemporary work to explore how art, both old and new, is entangled with and reflected by Britain's colonial past. Hew Locke will be showing his major work, Armada, which consists of a giant flotilla of model boats. Producer: Katy Hickman

"Shayda" had its world premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award for World Cinema Dramatic Competition. It has been selected as an Australian entry in the Best International Feature Film category for the 96th Academy Awards and stars Cannes Best Actress winner Zar Amir Ebrahimi ("Holy Spider") in a powerful role that has been moving audiences across various film festivals, including the Toronto International Film Festival. Director/Writer Noora Niasari joined us for a few minutes to speak about her directorial debut, which is now playing in limited release from Sony Pictures Classics.

"We push boundaries far past the status quo. We're not going to accept the status quo, but we choose to do that in a safe and calculated manner." – Chris Fontes  In this episode, Shayda chats with Chris Fontes about his career journey in hemp, from initiating Hemp Exchange in 2018 to navigating challenges and market shifts. His innovations led him to pioneer hemp-derived Delta 9 edibles and later transition to the growing hemp beverage sector with High Spirits Beverages. Throughout the conversation, they stress clear distinctions in the cannabis industry, particularly the 0.3% Delta 9 THC threshold distinguishing hemp from marijuana. They advocate for consumer access to cannabis products, emphasizing safety and proper regulations over prohibitions. Shayda and Chris delve into the gray areas of hemp laws, the balance industry pioneers must strike, and the future potential of cannabinoids, notably Type 2 cannabis. Chris underscores the synergy between CBD and THC and the necessity for informed discussions in the industry, emphasizing consumer safety and product efficacy.   [00:00 - 10:02] From Stabilizing Hemp Supply Chains to Revolutionizing Edibles [10:03 - 28:38] Beyond 0.3% Delta 9 THC: A Dive into Hemp, Marijuana, and Industry Semantics[28:39 - 40:05] Pushing Legal Boundaries and Insights on the Hemp and Cannabis Industry's Legal Challenges and Ethical Responsibilities[40:06 - 52:23] What About the Future of Cannabis?

He desires to educate people about hemp and deliver an unforgettable experience for customers.He is passionate about helping the cannabis industry return to what it used to be.

It's the Perth live show, so OF COURSE there's a disaster. Crabb has totally lost her voice. Sales suggests that she can do a TED talk style 90-min solo address instead, the threat of which is enough to galvanise Crabb to race to Perth to protect local Chatters from this horrific fate. The pair use various workarounds to somehow achieve a chat show between two people, one of whom is mute. They discuss Morning Wars, Shayda, and Crabb manages to destroy Sales' favourite movie, which was nice for Crabb in a tough week. Thanks Perth Chatters for being SUCH a kind audience!

Nicolas (Nic) J. McLeod is a man of determination and grit. No matter if he's spending time with his wife and kids, creating music, honing his body-building skills, or helping the many families he now calls “friends” find the best ways for them to preserve their wealth and build their retirement savings—he brings a high level of intensity and passion to whatever he's doing in any given moment.Nic is a second-generation Wealth Preservation specialist. He grew up watching his dad help families in the community with their financial needs. It impacted him at an early age, and it has now been over forty years since his father first started his practice in 1982. In 2005, Nic decided to launch his own firm and now has helped nearly 1000 families spread across the nation who have entrusted him with their financial well-being. Nic's client base is diverse in both their professional backgrounds & financial needs. No matter who he is working with, his number one job is to protect and preserve their wealth and retirement savings.Nic proudly owns a record free of any consumer complaints. This is a direct result of the core values at McLeod Consulting Group. As Nic says, “As fiduciaries, our job is to foster a relationship of trust, both legally and ethically. This is what drives us, so our client's best interests are always first. But we take it to the next level and make sure that all of the work we do is transparent to both our clients and the financial companies we work with. Many of our clients have become like family, and we could not be more thankful for them. We look forward to inviting you to experience how our team can help you successfully navigate the years leading up to your retirement as well as continue to prosper financially, emotionally, and spiritually throughout your retirement years.”Nic's relationship with God and his family is at his core. “My daily goal is to be a humble servant. This is what gives me my moral compass and keeps it all together.” Nic's cherished soulmate is his lovely wife Shayda. Theirs is a true love story, and they bring the same core values to their marriage that they do to all their work. Nic and Shayda have two young and wonderful children who are very active in their school and in sports—following in their father's footsteps. While the couple spends weekdays working hard to ensure their clients remain financially secure, weekends are packed with sporting events and other family activities.“Giving me all can make me vulnerable. I care deeply about my clients,” Nic says adamantly.“It goes far beyond just ‘being about the money.' Money isn't what makes the world go ‘round. It's our relationships and our health, and I find when you give everything you got, that vulnerability can leave you exposed—to the good, the bad, and the ugly. But I'll take it all if it means that together we create success for you.”Nic can add “gifted athlete” and “seasoned musician,” to his list of accomplishments. He was a highly touted D1 football prospect, but his aspirations were cut short due to a severe foot injury. He was determined to continue being part of the sport's world becoming a top bodybuilder, consulting for the University of Arkansas strength coaches, but his passion is helping troubled adolescents and underprivileged youth in his community. As a musician, he has successfully recorded LPs, enjoying quick success on local and national radio as well as sold-out shows in the largest and most well-known regional venues. He studied at the prestigious Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, majoring in Lead Guitar Theory and single-string improv. Music continues to be a major player in his life, as he plays and composes music for his family and personal enjoyment.Nic's commitment to making people better and more able at whatever they choose permeates all his work—from volunteering with his community to helping individuals and families secure and preserve their wealthLearn More: https://www.njmnwa.com/GeneralInvestment Advisory Services offered by James Jurica CFP® CLU® CHFC® RICP® through Wealth Watch Advisors, an SEC Registered Investment Advisor.

Nicolas (Nic) J. McLeod is a man of determination and grit. No matter if he's spending time with his wife and kids, creating music, honing his body-building skills, or helping the many families he now calls “friend” find the best ways for them to preserve their wealth and build their retirement savings—he brings a high level of intensity and passion to whatever he's doing in any given moment.Nic is a second-generation Wealth Preservation specialist. He grew up watching his dad help families in the community with their financial needs. It impacted him at an early age, and it has now been over forty years since his father first started his practice in 1982. In 2005, Nic decided to launch his own firm and now has helped nearly 1000 families spread across the nation who have entrusted him with their financial wellbeing. Nic's client base is diverse in both their professional backgrounds & financial needs. No matter who he is working with, his number one job is to protect and preserve their wealth and retirement savings.Nic proudly owns a record free of any consumer complaints. This is a direct result of the core values at McLeod Consulting Group. As Nic says, “As fiduciaries, our job is to foster a relationship of trust, both legally and ethically. This is what drives us, so our client's best interests are always first. But we take it to the next level and make sure that all of the work we do is transparent to both our clients and the financial companies we work with. Many of our clients have become like family, and we could not be more thankful for them. We look forward to inviting you to experience how our team can help you successfully navigate the years leading up to your retirement as well as continue to prosper financially, emotionally, and spiritually throughout your retirement years.”Nic's relationship with God and his family are at his core. “My daily goal is to be a humble servant. This is what gives me my moral compass and keeps it all together.” Nic's cherished soulmate is his lovely wife Shayda. Theirs is a true love story, and they bring the same core values to their marriage that they do to all their work. Nic and Shayda have two young and wonderful children who are very active in their school and in sports—following in their father's footsteps. While the couple spends weekdays working hard to ensure their clients remain financially secure, weekends are packed with sporting events and other family activities.“Giving my all can make me vulnerable. I care deeply about my clients,” Nic says adamantly.“It goes far beyond just ‘being about the money.' Money isn't what makes the world go ‘round. It's our relationships and our health, and I find when you give everything you got, that vulnerability can leave you exposed—to the good, the bad, and the ugly. But I'll take it all if it means that together we create success for you.”Nic can add “gifted athlete” and “seasoned musician,” to his list of accomplishments. He was a highly touted D1 football prospect, but his aspirations were cut short due to a severe foot injury. He was determined to continue being part of the sport's world becoming a top bodybuilder, consulting for the University of Arkansas strength coaches, but his passion is helping troubled adolescents and under-privileged youth in his community.
