La Sierra Leone est l'un des pays les plus exposés à l'érosion côtière. Selon un rapport des Nations unies, plus de deux millions de personnes y sont menacées par la montée des eaux. Même la capitale, Freetown, et ses bidonvilles, construits en gagnant du terrain sur la mer, sont au bord du naufrage. Un phénomène dû au réchauffement climatique, mais aussi à la main de l'homme. La submersion est accélérée par la pauvreté extrême du pays qui pousse une partie de la population à détruire son environnement pour gagner de quoi survivre. Reportage de Sarah Sakho, Simon Martin et Saidu Bah.

According to the United Nations, Sierra Leone is one of the countries most exposed to coastal erosion. More than two million people are threatened by rising sea levels. Even the capital, Freetown, and its informal settlements – built by reclaiming land from the sea – are on the brink of sinking. A phenomenon caused by climate change, but exacerbated by human activity. Submersion is accelerated by the country's extreme poverty, which pushes the population to destroy their environment in order to survive. FRANCE 24's Caitlin Kelly, Saidu Bah, Sarah Sakho and Simon Martin report.

Join us for an enlightening episode where we explore the dynamic intersections between music and leadership. Our insightful guests, Amir Sabirović, Rik Spann, and Simon Martin, draw parallels between jazz bands, rock bands, and symphony orchestras to delve into the diverse structures of organizations and their unique approaches to innovation, communication, and change. Throughout this episode, our guests share valuable insights on the importance of clear communication, building trust, and fostering an environment where ideas can flourish. They illustrate how metaphors can provide a fresh perspective on leadership, encouraging leaders to step back, reassess, and create space for others to shine. Tune in to discover how you can apply these musical metaphors to enhance your leadership style, embrace innovation, and lead your organization with a harmonious blend of structure and creativity. Key Quotes: “A jazz band is like a startup – flexible, innovative, and always improvising. A rock band is a scale-up, needing some structure but still retaining its creative edge. A symphony orchestra represents a corporate entity – highly organized, with every note carefully planned.” - Amir Sabirović “In jazz, when something unexpected happens, it's not seen as a mistake but as an opportunity. It's about embracing the disruption and finding new ways to create harmony.” - Rik Spann “Conversations are the vehicles for change. They are where ideas are born and evolve. Much like jazz, where each musician listens and responds to the others, effective leadership is about listening and responding to the needs and ideas of the team.” - Simon Martin “It's about being comfortable with the uncomfortable. Leaders need to adapt and continue, much like jazz musicians do when they encounter unexpected changes.” - Amir Sabirović “We assume others understand our intentions without clear communication, leading to misunderstandings and missed opportunities.” - Amir Sabirović “Using analogies like the jazz band can create a safe space for discussion. It allows leaders to step back and view their roles and the organization's dynamics differently, fostering innovation and collaboration.” - Simon Martin “That's leadership: knowing when to intervene and when to step back, creating space for others to shine.” - Rik Spann “Innovation comes from challenging the status quo and being open to new ideas, even if it means failing along the way.” - Amir Sabirović Don't miss this unique blend of music and management that inspires you to lead creatively and confidently.

In Cape Verde, music is more than just an art form – it is central to the country's national identity and economy. Experts estimate that around a quarter of all jobs in the archipelago are in some way linked to the music industry. The most famous Cape Verdean singer of all time, Cesaria Evora, died back in 2011. But a whole new generation of artists is set to blossom. FRANCE 24's Simon Martin and Sarah Sakho report, with Sam Bradpiece.

Disruption is a recurrent theme in our Waypointers podcast and it often happens at the hands of outsiders – as our previous episode with a former US Marine, Justin Lewis shows. The guest in our latest episode is Simon Martin, the founder and chief executive of Oliver. Over the last 20 years Simon has brought significant disruption to the ad industry. His unique perspective comes from having started his career in the insurance sector where he saw the way in which deeply embedded relationships with clients drove significant efficiencies, business opportunities and growth.   How it all started When he left his CMO role in insurance and set up Oliver, he brought a new mindset and practice to the ad agency sector. Very soon, the in-housing model that Oliver pioneered was being adopted by some of the most highly prized clients.Now part of the Brandtech Group, Oliver is 5,000 people in 60 countries, servicing 300 clients and is five times bigger today than it was at the start of Covid.Oliver's route to successSimon explains to Waypoint partner Jim Houghton Oliver's model of “people, process and technology” which allows it to work in genuine collaboration and partnership with client organisations. It also makes it unbeatable when it comes to efficiency and productivity.

In this episode, Simon Martin, Chris Price and Rob Pilling share their interest and insights into Rust. This relatively new programming language has caught the attention of the development community, being voted the ‘most-loved' language seven years in a row in the StackOverflow survey. They discuss a wide range of topics, including what it means to be a system-programming language, and what brought each of them to Rust. They ponder what it is that makes a programming language successful and, given this, consider what the future might hold for Rust. We pick up the conversation where Chris is trying to describe the nature of Rust through a bicycle metaphor. Yes, really… and we find out later in the podcast that this metaphor works surprisingly well.

'The thing about my work is that there is a tension between a passionate love and engagement with the traditions of the past and a complete impatience with their irrelevance and it's trying to hold those things in tension and trying to engage people in the complexities of that.' Cathie Pilkington, R.A. Cathie Pilkington creates surreal, uncanny and ambivalent forms which are designed to unsettle and provoke. She employs a deliberate lack of hierarchy in her materials, using textiles and found objects alongside more traditional sculptural practices. Her work is often presented as an immersive installation, bringing themes of the domestic and everyday life into the language of sculpture. During our interviews with Cathie Pilkington in the Royal Academy, her studio and a sculpture foundry, we discuss the barriers to women pursuing careers as sculptors, how sculpture can remain relevant and how an artist can make figurative sculpture that speaks to contemporary audiences. We met her at a pivotal point in her career, taking increasing control and asking questions about the future of sculpture. Pilkington (who was the first female Professor of Sculpture at the Royal Academy Schools) is Keeper at the Royal Academy and uses her role to ask questions about the history of sculpture and women at an institutional level.

V pregledu osrednjih glasbenih vsebin današnjega dne na programu ARS izpostavljamo te oddaje: v ciklu Skladatelj tedna Polona Gantar predstavlja življenje in glasbo slovenskega skladatelja Uroša Kreka. V oddaji Koncertni dogodki na tujem je Polona Kovačič izbrala posnetek Danskega nacionalnega simfoničnega orkestra, ki je na koncertu brez občinstva 22. aprila v koncertni hiši danskega radia v Köbenhavnu gostil nemškega dirigenta Christopha Eschenbacha, švedskega baritonista Petra Matteija in nemško sopranistko Christiane Karg. Na programu so bila dela vseh treh dunajskih klasikov: Haydna, Mozarta in Beethovna. V oddaji Zborovska glasba, ki jo pripravlja Brigita Rovšek, vas vabimo k poslušanju slovenskih ljudskih pesmi, v katere so se ujeli cerkveni motivi. Pri nas so to največkrat motivi sv. Marije, še posebno priljubljeni pri romarjih, to potrjuje tudi veliko sv. Mariji posvečenih cerkva pri nas. Oddaja Glasba našega časa, ki končuje glasbeno druženje na programu Ars, ponuja pogled v glasbeno sodobnost. Tokrat je v ospredju Simon Martin, kanadski skladatelj, ki stopa po poteh Harryja Partcha, La Monta Younga, Jamesa Tenneyja, Michaela Pisara in drugih eksperimentalnih skladateljev, ki v zadnji polovici stoletja v glasbi odpirajo polja nežnih variacij zvena in poglabljanja v njihovo psihološko zaznavo. Poslušali bomo skladateljevo obsežno delo Musique d'art za violino, violo, violončelo, kontrabas in zvočno obdelavo iz leta 2019 v izvedbi članov ansambla Musikfabrik.

In this episode, I’m interviewing Gina Buenfeld-Murley, exhibitons curator of the Camden Art Centre and co-curator of the online exhibition The Botanical Mind. In this episode, we go deep into the relation between art and the natural world and talk about sacred geometry, indigenous art, symbolism, Jung, the mysterious Voynich manuscript and why this exhibition is so pertinent given the current relationship humans have to the rest of nature. Dr Ian Bedford’s Bug of the Week: Pollen beetles This episode is brought to you by the team at The Real Soil Company. Launched to the market in 2020 The Real Soil Company proudly offers new organic, peat-free SuperSoil. Packed full of organic nutrients for optimal plant health, SuperSoil’s natural ‘boosters’ will stimulate quicker plant establishment and better resilience against pests and disease, whilst also enabling edible crops to benefit from nutritional enhancement and a higher crop yield.  The enhanced soil also offers better water retention and release for optimum plant growth, whilst providing a more balanced and workable material for gardeners.  What we talk about: Sacred geometry and that patterns that are found in nature and in entheogenic experiences and which occur at the micro and macro level Georgio Griffa’s writing, which forms part of the exhibition, talks of art and science two being in extricably linked. How do seemingly pre-determined and logical patterns such as fractals influence art? Do the patterns stop being science when they are recreated by a human hand?  How can we be inspired by indigenous art and nature appreciation, both past and present, whilst avoiding cultural appropriation or slipping into romanticism?  The Voynich Manuscript The significance of Jung’s archetypes in relation to botany About The Botanical Mind and Gina Buenfeld-Murley Humanity’s place in the natural order is under scrutiny as never before, held in a precarious balance between visible and invisible forces: from the microscopic threat of a virus to the monumental power of climate change. Drawing on indigenous traditions from the Amazon rainforest; alternative perspectives on Western scientific rationalism; and new thinking around plant intelligence, philosophy and cultural theory, The Botanical Mind Online investigates the significance of the plant kingdom to human life, consciousness and spirituality across cultures and through time. It positions the plant as both a universal symbol found in almost every civilisation and religion across the globe, and the most fundamental but misunderstood form of life on our planet. Gina Buenfeld-Murley is Exhibitions Curator at Camden Art Centre, London where she has co-curated The Botanical Mind: Art, Mysticism and The Cosmic Tree (2020-21); A Tale of Mother’s Bones: Grace Pailthorpe, Reuben Mednikoff and the Birth of Psychorealism (2019); Athanasios Argianas, Hollowed Water (2020); Wong Ping, Heart Digger (2019); Yuko Mohri, Voluta, (2018); Joachim Koester, In the Face of Overwhelming Forces (2017); João Maria Gusmão & Pedro Paiva, Papagaio (2015); Bonnie Camplin (2016) and Rose English (2016).

In this week's Innovation Podcast, we shine a spotlight on the new routes clients are taking to create content — via in-house agencies, and specialists in format driven creation and production.   Firstly, we welcome Simon Martin, the CEO of the fast-growing Oliver, which has become a leading light in structuring and staffing in-house agencies for many clients.  He tells us how Covid has impacted their clients, and how their in-housing model deals well with the challenges the lockdown has presented.   Next we hear from Jenny Chan Von Meyenburg who is APAC Director of Lego's self-built and hugely-respected in-house agency, about the advantages Lego enjoys with the alignment of creative and marketing objectives.  She also introduces us to a word that may yet become all the rage:- TRY-VERTISING.   Then we have Victor Knaap, founder and CEO of MediaMonks, who are a world leader in the growing sphere of format-driven content creation and production; he talks about how clients are thinking about the “data versus creative” balancing act in these tough times.   Finally, our geography field trip this week goes to France, and a catch up with Christian Métrailler on the challenging situation that is still going on over there.

Simon Martin gives us an imagined response to Genesis 3.8-14, and the real tragedy of the fall.

A review of the recent popular and topical bulletins on Techlink professional.

Today I had the pleasure of talking with someone who I consider both a mentor and friend, Dr. Simon Martin. He is a registered chiropractor and the founder of Heartschool. Simon has studied psychology and anatomy at Curtin University before completing his chiropractic degree at Murdoch University. He has had the opportunity to teach neurology at tertiary level as well as work in Singapore's Camden Medical Centre. Simon is sought after for his exceptional knowledge and skills in body-based practices and has shared the stage with new world pioneers of Tantra, Yoga, Shibari and Shamanism. This is was a very interesting conversation about trauma responses and how they manifest during sexuality work. Key points: - Simon's story about his parents, education and current work - Emotional healing for sexually abused young women - De-armouring and embodied presence - Men doing sexual healing work - Freeze response, vulnerability and desirability - Tension responses and shadow of the trauma industry - Fawning/Friending and countertransference - Sacred union and sexual healers Relevant links: Website: www.heartschool.com.au Facebook: /Heartshcool.Australia Instagram: @heart.school

Dame Elisabeth Frink, R.A. (1930-1993) “She respected herself. She took herself seriously and she took the work seriously, due to the nature of the work. She knew what it was she wanted to explore.” Annette Ratuszniak, Curator, Frink Estate.   In 1973 Elisabeth Frink became the first female sculptor to be elected as a Royal Academician. Frink was born into an army family, and her childhood was overshadowed by the Second World War. This experience, and other upheavals of the 20th century, led her to ask fundamental questions about the nature of humanity in her work. In an artworld increasingly dominated by abstraction, Frink remained resolute in her commitment to working both figuratively and in bronze. When Frink died in 1993 she had created over 400 sculptures, many of which are well-known public commissions.    In Episode 2, we explore hidden narratives in Frink’s career, and consider how artists can be sidelined by the ‘art world’ yet remain popular with the public. We also consider the impact an artist’s family has on their posthumous reputation and how this is managed.     “A lot of her work resonates in a really contemporary way.” Cathie Pilkington, RA, First Female Professor of Sculpture at the Royal Academy. With contributions from: ·      Simon Martin, Director, Pallant House Gallery ·      Annette Ratuszniak, Curator, The Elisabeth Frink Estate ·      Sam Johnston, Director, Dorset History Centre ·      Cathie Pilkington, R.A. ·      Clare Lilley, Director of Programme, Yorkshire Sculpture Park The sound recordings of Elisabeth Frink (00.00.27-00.00.42) are from Artists' Lives run by National Life Stories (https://www.bl.uk/projects/national-life-stories-artists-lives) in partnership with the British Library.  Audio (c) British Library Board  With thanks also to Dorset History Centre  https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/libraries-history-culture/dorset-history-centre/dorset-history-centre.aspx Image: Elisabeth Frink with Soldiers Head, courtesy of the Frink Estate For works discussed in this episode and more photographs of Frink, see the @sculptinglives Instagram feed.

Show Summary: This episode was an absolute game changer. I dive deep with Simon Martin to find a framework for Emotional health Care. Simons thorough understanding of human anatomy, neurology and behavioural psychology allowed for both some deep insights and some solid practical takeaways. If you're passionate about living a connected and fulfilling life, you're going to get a lot out of this conversation. Simons work is groundbreaking, practical and backed by science. Simon is a registered Chiropractor, Trainer in Emotional Health Services and the founder of HeartSchool. He specialises in treating both physical pain & emotional stress while helping his clients to understand the link between them. He studied Psychology and Anatomy streams at Curtin University before completing my Chiropractic Degree at Murdoch University. He's had the opportunity to teach Neurology at tertiary level and also work in Singapore's Camden Medical Centre. As the Director of the HeartSchool, his passion is building their team, culture and community, as they create a new model of Emotional Health delivery. He's been teaching hands-on-healing, workshops, retreats & certified-trainings across Australia since 2014. Key Points: - One of the biggest challenges Simon has faced, how he overcame it and what he's learnt from it. - Reconnecting with the wisdom of the body. - Developing our own check in system. - How being in a stress state impacts all areas of our lives. - Dealing with feelings vs thoughts - Our second awareness - Unless the heart is opened, the manifestation of rejection and failure is going to be a trauma attracter no matter who it is. - Framing emotional health as something that is heroic and something to be acknowledged. - Nutritional Psychology, how our biochemistry effects our mental wellbeing. - Get the water the fish is swimming in clean before you even get into the mindset etc of the fish. - Creating safety in the body - Recognising how safe someone is in their body is beginning of second awareness - If we feel safe in our body, we can be more productive as a tribe - The history of having locked up bodies Relevant Links and Website: Simon Martin Website: www.heartschool.com.au Insta: @heart.school Fb: Heartschool Tully O'Connor Website: www.tullyoconnor.co Instagram: @tullyoconnor Men, join us in The Conscious Locker Room Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/consciouslockerroom/

Dr Simon Martin, a former NHS general practitioner and currently, a freelance storyteller based in Shropshire elucidating on the power of stories in teaching from and about creativity and what teachers/tutors can do to enhance that to other people. He shares the neuroscience behind why storytelling is the most effective communication medium in getting information across to people; and emphasises the therapeutic use of language, guided imagery and how the words we use have the power to harm as well as to heal.   https://amzn.to/2F1wyCp   See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

Episode 40 of Front End Chatter, the Finger On The Pulse episode, comes not so much hot as slightly tepid with gossip from MotoGP testing (at Sepang, Malaysia, not Phillip Island). Fortunately, the big issues are still the same: will Casey race in 2016? Will the new Michelin tyres and retro-spec ECU mix results up this season? Will Lorenzo win the title by mid-season? When will someone first say ‘silly season’?  There’s also plenty of FEC-ing tittle-tattle about: Guy Martin’s no-show at the TT this year Triumph’s new Tiger 1050 Sport 6000 houses created at the Circuit Of Wales site. Sorry, we meant ‘6000 jobs’ why splitting WSB races over two days might be a good idea why manufacturers don’t make more of their Dakar race success reviving the Transatlantic race series – good idea or not? And are any American racers good enough? Or Brits, come to that are anti-theft bike tracking systems a good idea or a bit ‘after the fact’? does a near-miss take the shine off biking? is it okay to still like being a biker, but go off actually riding bikes? choosing between a Suzuki Bandit 1250 (too old school?), Kawasaki Versys 650 (too tame?) or a Yamaha Tracer (too expensive) for hustling mountain roads, touring and commuting. Or just pick a Yamaha FZ1 Fazer. • what are the best tyres for a Yamaha XJ6? choosing the fabulous FEC theme tune.  Please email questions, comments and/or abuse to: anything@frontendchatter.com Twitter us at: @SimonHbikes & @Mufga Facebook: www.facebook.com/FrontEndChatter YouTube: www.youtube.com/channel/UCgeS_FcXLqwZgirmG2OCW0w Please visit support FEC and visit our shop for T-shirts and mugs: www.tshirtstudio.com/marketplace/front-end-chatter Subscribe on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/front-end-chatter/id827471484 We're also on Android podcast apps. Thanks for listening!

When ESPN anchor Stuart Scott passed away from cancer this past January, he was widely hailed for his innovative style, which mixed heavy does of African American slang and pop culture references. His signature phrases are now commonly used terms in the American lexicon: “As cool as the other side of the pillow” and, of course, “Boo-Yah!” After the announcer’s death, Barack Obama remarked that Scott “helped usher in a new way to talk about our favorite teams and the day’s best plays.” No disrespect to America’s Sports Fan-in-Chief, but already a century before Stuart Scott was dropping quotes from Shakespeare and Tupac Shakur in his game summaries, Pierce Egan was mixing the Bard and street slang into his sports writing. An Irish-born printshop worker, Egan moved from manning the presses to take up the pen, writing sketches about life in early-nineteenth-century London. In particular, Egan wrote about the world of boxing, an illegal activity that brought together upper- and lower-class enthusiasts. Egan wrote prolifically about the matches (surreptitiously staged at out-of-the-way rural spots), the fighters, the patrons and fans. As David Snowdon shows in his book Writing the Prizefight: Pierce Egan’s Boxiana World (Peter Lang, 2013), Egan’s accounts – published in multiple volumes titled Boxiana –painted a vivid picture of the early boxing community, known as “the Fancy.” Egan also established a distinctive style for writing about sport, one that mixed classical analogies, high literary references, and the vernacular of London’s lower classes. The blend inspired later English writers of the 19th century, and its echoes are still heard in the rapid-fire, pop culture-saturated style of today’s ESPN announcers. David’s book was awarded the 2014 Lord Aberdare Literary Prize by the British Society of Sports History.

Azzurri, cyclists, boxers, Berlusconi, Balotelli, strapping Fascist men preparing to bear arms, strapping Fascist women preparing to bear children, the shirtless Duce, Ferraris, Vespas, doping scandals, World Cup celebrations, Serie A officials on the take, Il Grande Torino, and the barefoot marathoner Abebe Bikila. You find all this and more in Simon Martin‘s history of Italian sports, Sport Italia: The Italian Love Affair with Sport (I.B.Tauris, 2011). Simon’s book is sports history at its best–that is, it’s history at its fullest. As you hear in the interview, Italian sport offers a window to understanding the country’s uneven economic development, its fractious politics, the ideology and aesthetics of Fascism, the unrelenting weight of corruption, the role of the Catholic Church, and the persistent divide between North and South. Above all, there is the unresolved question of what it means to be Italian. Metternich’s adage that “Italy is only a geographical expression”still holds a kernel of truth, some 150 years after the Risorgimento.One of Simon’s principal arguments is that sport is the one thing which most consistently binds the country together. Simon’s book was awarded the 2012 Lord Aberdare Literary Prize, presented each year by the British Society for Sports History. This was the second time he’s received the award, having won in 2004 for his history of Italian football under Fascism. You can also find interviews with other winners of the Aberdare Prize in the New Books in Sports archive: the 2011 winners, Chris Young and Kai Schiller, talking about their book on the 1972 Munich Olympics; and Tony Collins on his history of English rugby union, which won the award for 2010.         Learn more about your ad choices.
