Most People Don't... But You Do!
#123 Treating People Right; Kevin Korab (President of Guest Worldwide)

Most People Don't... But You Do!

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 6, 2024 50:40


A few months ago, I presented to Guest Supply and was simply shocked by the culture of kindness and empathy. I knew I needed to get their leader on our show to learn the "how and why" they are this way. It's no surprise that happy, satisfied employees are more engaged and productive. This naturally leads to better customer service and increased revenue outcomes. My last year leading a global sales team with Ritz-Carlton, we achieved a perfect 100% Employee Satisfaction Score that also aligned with the highest producing revenue year in the history of this team. It was not easy and it was not done by me. It was a collaborative effort by the entire team to discuss solutions to our challenges and how we could improve our interactions with each other. A brilliant group of people… (not including me!). Today, Most People Don't is working with a group of clients that are dedicated to improving their culture in order to produce more effective and engaged team members. This week's podcast with Kevin Korab, the President of Guest Worldwide, revealed just this philosophy.  The methods, actions, and his upbringing that supported the statement of “treating people right” are shared in this intriguing conversation.   Kevin, his senior leadership, and his company all believe in “treating people right” with respect, honesty, and openness.   Personally, he is responsible for the overall leadership and direction for the three collective business under Guest Worldwide, a Sysco company. This includes strategy, marketing, business development, sales, client management, supply chain (procurement, logistics, and warehouses); manufacturing facilities, Human Resources and eCommerce. Manufacturing, distribution, purchasing, and sales resources are located in the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, China and the Middle East.   Guest Worldwide is a $1B+ global enterprise and parent company to three distinct businesses: Guest Supply, a global distributor of operating supplies, furniture, fixtures and equipment for the hospitality, healthcare and education channels, Gilchrist & Soames, a global personal care products brand development, manufacturing and marketing company, and Manchester Mills, a global textiles product development and marketing company.   More can be found about Guest Worldwide at: https://www.guestworldwide.com/

Out of the Deep by Walter de la Mare

Walter de la Mare Walter de la Mare is most famous as a poet. He was born in 1873 in Charlton in south-east London not far from Greenwich. It was then part of the county of Kent but has now been gobbled up by Greater London.  He was offered a knighthood twice but declined. De La Mare died in 1956, aged 83, in Middlesex.   He had a heart attach in 1947 and was left unwell until his death of another in 1956. He was highly regarded as a poet and  T. S. Eliot wrote a poem for his funeral service. His ashes are buried in the crypt of St Paul's Cathedral.  His writings were a favourite reading matter of H P Lovecraft and admired by Robert Aickman and Ramsey Campbell. His family were originally French, from the Protestant Huguenots who fled persecution by the Catholic King of France. His ancestors had been silk merchants, but his father was a banker and his mother was the daughter of a Scottish naval surgeon. He disliked the name Walter and his friends called him Jack. When he was 17, he went to work for Standard Oil in the statistics department, but he was already writing and his first volume of work was published when he was twenty-nine. He married his wife, who was impoverished after meeting her the amateur dramatic society of which they were both members. They lived in Anerley, where I once lived, a rather nondescript part of South London next to the more famous Crystal Palace. They were apparently great entertainers and hosted many parties. Most of the fiction he wrote was supernatural fiction. His style is elegant but his sentences are complex with lots of sub-clauses making him nearly has hard to read out as Henry James. This is a story written to be read rather than read out, I think. Out of The Deep The story unfolds slowly. Jimmie, an orphan boy has not been ill-treated by his uncle and aunt from what we hear, but he disliked their characters and was tormented by their butler Soames. It appears, though were are not told, that after he became a man, he left them and the hated house where he had been so unhappy and was reluctant to go back even after he inherited the house.  As well as the physical torment of his time in the attic he had memories of things coming out of the wardrobe and the crab patterned paper that came alive. (Like the Yellow Wallpaper). He seems to have hated everything about his boyhood, including going to church, fatty meat and the ugly old-age of his relatives.  We learn from his aunt that he's always suffered from anxiety and is timid. There is some tension between him wanting to be good little boy and feeling he never quite managed it. Although in his adulthood, he doesn't seem to do much that's bad. He seems to do his best. But he never rises above the pointless misery of the house. It's all miserable and suffuses the story. He lies awake thinking like a fountain. He has little human company and appears to have cut off what friends he had before moving into the house as he if knew he was preparing for his death. He has his charwoman Mr Thripps who considers the house unpleasant and doesn't want to sleep a night there for a plate of sovereigns, even though she would out of duty to Jimmie. I warmed to Mrs Thripps and though Victorian and Edwardian writers mostly portray the working-classes as idiots, thugs and criminals, there is a warmness to Mrs Thripps that makes her more likeable than Jimmie, though Jimmie does nothing to offend us really. I don't know whether De La Mare intended that. Jimmie uses his witty speech to deflect from the deep despair and unhappiness in him.  He is quite nice to the tradespeople he meets and gives the impression of wanting to be cheerful and good to make up for ht misery of his beginnings.  But ultimately it is a misery he can't escape. Sadly, the tale reminded me of the stories of many of the patients I encounter who have a childhood of abuse they struggle to overcome and struggle to achieve any real...

Today we are discussing Episode 1 - Pilot and having a darn good time doing it. Produced by Kristen Riley and Daive Reed Follow on Twitter @CastFiles Email us at TheeCastFiles@gmail.com Music by Hal Six  Logo by @OokaArt Patreon   Synopsis Teaser In a forest at night, a young woman tumbles around in a long nightgown. She ends up in a small clearing and sees an immense light growing over a nearby hill. A large vortex of leaves starts and a male figure approaches from the light. The figure stands over her as the light engulfs them both.   COLLUM NATIONAL FOREST, NORTHWEST OREGON The next morning, two uniformed men inspect the woman's corpse with a team of coroners. One explains there's no sign of battery or sexual assault, although how they determine this is questionable because the dead woman is laying prone in the dirt. It does appear she does have two small bumps on her lower back (resembling vampire bite moles). A trail of dried blood runs from the woman's nose to her mouth. Which again begs the question, what are your examination techniques, sirs? Detective Miles, one of the two uniformed men, recognizes the young woman as Karen Swenson, since she used to go to school with his son. As Miles walks away in a hurry, Truitt calls after him. The coroner asks if Karen and the detective's son were in the high school class of 1989, implying that other members of her class have died in the same way as Karen Swenson.   Act One FBI HEADQUARTERS, WASHINGTON, DC   Special Agent Dana Scully(!) enters the FBI building for a meeting with Division Chief Scott Blevins. Inside, Blevins questions her about her past work while a mysterious man smoking a cigarette silently watches.  Smoking in the office, can you imagine in 2021? Scully is a medical doctor who has been working within the FBI for about two years. Blevins notifies her that she is being assigned to work with Fox Mulder on the X-Files, a group of cases that involve paranormal or inexplicable phenomena. Scully was recruited by the FBI out of medical school and felt she could distinguish herself. Obviously, she's intelligent and has worked her way through FBI school. What has she been doing the past 2 years? She knows of Mulder by reputation.  Blevins asks what she knows about Mulder. She explains that Mulder is an Oxford educated psychologist who was once the best analyst in the violent crimes section. He helped catch a serial killer. Eventually he became so obsessed with the unexplained that he became a joke and was banished into the basement as “The FBIs most unwanted”.  What happened to send her to the basement with "the FBI's Most Unwanted"? Scully is assigned to write reports about Mulder's cases.    In the building's basement, Scully meets Mulder in his office. This is the big reveal. It's gross how attractive he is. Queue gif on repeat of the Fox Mulder reveal. Even in those glasses he's #HotMulder. After a brief intro Mulder dives into the Swenson case. He shows her several slides on a projector of Karen Swenson's dead body and reveals that a strange organic substance has been found near the two marks on the woman's back (aka Vampire bite moles). He also shows her two slides of bodies found in Sturgis, South Dakota and Shamrock, Texas, where both the two spots and the substance in the surrounding tissue were found.  Although Mulder seems to believe that the cases are somehow linked to aliens, Scully argues that science will uncover a more logical explanation. We're setting up the believer/skeptic dichotomy pretty heavily in the pilot. Mulder tells her that three of Karen Swenson's classmates (class of 1989) have also died in mysterious circumstances and states that he and Scully will leave to investigate the deaths early the next morning.   Quote of the Episode: Mulder “When convention and science offer us no answers might we not finally turn to the fantastic as a plausibility?” Scully “What I find fantastic is that there are answers beyond the scientific." On an airplane to Oregon, Mulder lies sprawled across a row of seats, with his eyes closed and headphones in his ears. Wired headphones, bluetooth wasn't widely available. Scully is reading, she's wearing glasses so we know she's the studious one while napping Mulder is the "slacker". (Sidenote: If you've read Agents of Chaos by Kami Garcia there's another possible read, it's canon according to Chris Carter.)  Scully examines newspaper clippings about the dead teenagers. The camera focuses on the name "Dr. Nemman". Upon making its descent, the plane suddenly starts to shake violently but eventually normalizes. In the early 90s overhead compartments on planes didn't latch.   Mulder nonchalantly concludes the temporary vibrations must mean they are in the right place.   Afterwards, Mulder drives a rental car into Bellefleur, Oregon as Scully continues to read the relevant X-file. She is surprised to learn that the case has already been investigated, information that Mulder did not disclose. Which we ask, how did she miss this while studying during her 6 hour flight? He explains that the FBI became involved after the first three deaths, but left one week later without explanation. According to Scully, no unidentified marks are noted in the autopsy reports of the first three victims, although those reports were signed by a different medical examiner than the latest victim. Mulder is impressed by Scully's observations (why? She's trained as a medical doctor), but adds that they won't know whether the original medical examiner is a suspect until they have exhumed one of the first three bodies. The agents will likely then have a better idea whether the examiner intentionally missed the strange marks, or if Karen Swenson was the first victim with the spots. Suddenly, the car's radio goes wonky and the agents hear a high-pitched noise. Mulder stops the car and uses an aerosol from the luggage compartment to spray a large, red "X" on the road directly behind the vehicle. (Listen for our Avis UFO Hunter Kit explanation). When he returns to the car, Mulder states that the incident was probably only trivial. Where did he get the spray paint? Did he have it in his luggage? What else could you bring on planes in the early 90s?   COASTAL NORTHWEST OREGON MARCH 7, 1993 Body exhumation of Ray Soames, the third victim. They're interrupted by Dr. Nemman, the examiner of the first three bodies. He says he was away on family vacation for this one. Nemman is weirdly aggressive which makes him look incredibly guilty.  “How does a 20 year old boy die of exposure after only 7 hours on a warm summer's night, Scully?”  When the agents arrive at their destination, they meet with John Truitt and an assistant coroner. The group begins to discuss arrangements for the exhumation but are interrupted when another car arrives and the County Medical Examiner, who autopsied the first three bodies, steps out. The examiner, Doctor Jay Nemman, struggles to stop his daughter from interfering and protests against the FBI's use of the cemetery. He also reveals that he and his family have just come back to Bellefleur after a recent holiday, which explains why he didn't conduct the autopsy on Karen Swenson. When Mulder mentions the tissue sample taken from the victim's body, Nemman believes that the agents are insinuating that he missed something in the original autopsies. Eventually, the man leaves at his daughter's insistence. The strange corpse found in Ray Soames' coffin. Mulder and Scully return to the grave site and discuss Ray Soames, the third victim whose body they are exhuming. A crane lifts Soames' coffin out of the ground, but a harness attached to the vehicle suddenly breaks and the coffin rolls down a hill. Mulder runs toward the coffin, to see it has been broken open by the fall. Against Truitt's advice, Mulder opens the coffin to find a desiccated, mummified body lying inside. The corpse is definitely not human and Mulder demands that the coffin be resealed.   Act Two 10:56 PM While examining the corpse, Scully determines that the body is mammalian - possibly an orangutan or chimpanzee. Excited that the body may have been alien in origin, Mulder asks Scully to conduct a complete analysis of the corpse. Scully, who thinks that the presence of the body was someone's practical joke, reluctantly agrees to comply with Mulder's request. Later, Scully finds a small metallic implant in the body's nasal cavity. Mulder knocks at her door and asks if she wants to join him on a run. Scully tiredly declines.  "Ugh, Duchovny even looks hot with his hat on backwards." - Kristen When Mulder wonders if she has identified the implant in Soames' nose yet, she replies negatively and bids Mulder goodnight.   RAYMON COUNTY STATE PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL Mulder and Scully walk with Doctor Glass, who confirms that Ray Soames was a patient at the hospital. Glass claims that, under his supervision, Soames was treated for clinical schizophrenia for a year. According to the doctor, Soames appeared to suffer from a form of post-traumatic stress and couldn't grasp reality. Similar cases that Glass has treated have included several of Soames' classmates, two of whom are currently undergoing treatment at the hospital. The patients, Billy Miles and Peggy O'Dell, have lived in the hospital for four years. When Scully asks if she and Mulder can speak to them, Glass replies that the agents might have difficulty questioning the patients, especially Billy Miles. Mulder and Scully visit Billy Miles. Inside the hospital, Billy lies in a bed unresponsive as Glass and the agents enter. The doctor explains that Miles is experiencing a "waking coma" as a result of a car accident on State Road in which Peggy O'Dell was also involved. Peggy sits in a wheelchair next to Billy Miles, reading to him. The doctor asks her if she will talk with the visitors but she replies that Billy wants her to read to him at the moment. When Mulder asks the doctor for permission to conduct a detailed medical examination of Peggy O'Dell, she goes berserk. Mulder lifts her shirt to reveal the twin back moles. Outside, Mulder hurriedly follows her down a flight of steps. He realizes that Scully is upset because she thinks he knows more about the strange marks than she does. Eventually, Mulder admits to his belief that the teenagers were abducted by extraterrestrials, a theory that Scully thinks is crazy. She comments that there must be another explanation which can be proved scientifically. Mentioning that all four victims were found in or near the woods, Scully wonders what they were doing there. At night, the agents walk through the forest where the latest victim died. They carry flashlights and are dressed in informal clothing. After they separate, Mulder looks at a compass he is carrying, which is spinning wildly. In the clearing where Karen Swenson died, Scully notices a patch of strange dirt on the ground. She picks up some of the POCKET SAND and puts it in her pocket. When a low rumbling begins, Scully removes a gun from her pocket and leaves the clearing. She approaches the source of the noise, where a light shines through the trees. A humanoid silhouette from out of the light comes toward her.   Act Three The silhouette is actually Detective Miles. He doesn't reveal his name, but states only that he is employed by the Raymon County Sheriff's Department and warns the agents that they are on private property. They are forced to leave. Driving through a storm in the darkness of night, Scully shows Mulder the dirt that she gathered earlier. Mulder believes the dirt might be from a campfire, while Scully theorizes that the teenagers may have been part of a cult and that the man they just encountered is aware of that.  Suddenly, there is a blinding flash of light and the car loses power. Mulder, who looked at his watch just before the incident, says they've lost nine minutes of time. Extremely excited, Mulder exits the car and discovers that they are almost exactly at the red cross he previously marked in the road. He excitedly explains to Scully that people who have sighted UFOs often report time loss. However, Scully argues that time can't just disappear, as it is constant throughout the universe. Their car then restarts by itself and the headlamps light up. In her motel room, Scully writes her report, concluding that she cannot validate nor substantiate Mulder's claim that they experienced a loss of time. When the power goes out due to the storm, Scully begins to get ready to take a shower but notices three spots on her back. Worried that the spots may be the same marks that the teenagers had, Scully visits Mulder in his motel room,  She's in a red bathrobe and asks Mulder to look at something. She disrobes, Mulder kneels down and with the light of the candle looks like he's going to place tiny kisses on the small of her back.  He determines that the spots are only mosquito bites. Scully is so relieved that she leans on Mulder's chest and he puts his arms around her. In his motel room, Mulder tells Scully about some of his personal history. Later, Mulder tells her that his sister's disappearance when he was twelve tore his family apart. He continues by recalling that he left America as soon as he could and attended Oxford University, before being recruited by the Bureau. He then discovered the X-files and became fascinated by them. He tells Scully that he has been trying to access classified government information, but someone at a higher level of power has been blocking him from doing so. The only reason Mulder has been able to continue his work is that he has made connections in Congress. He suspects Scully is part of an agenda to stop him, but she swears that she is not and tries to convince him to trust her. Mulder leans forward and tells Scully that a Dr. Heitz Werber has taken him through regression hypnosis to access his repressed memories of the night his sister disappeared. He reveals to Scully what he can recall from that night. Mulder believes that his sister was abducted by extraterrestrials and that the government is aware of the existence of the aliens. He also states that the only thing that matters to him is finding out whatever the government is protecting. Mulder then receives a strange phone call from an anonymous female caller, who says that Peggy O'Dell is dead.   RURAL HWY. 133 BELLEFLEUR, OREGON When the agents arrive at the scene of the car accident that killed Peggy O'Dell, a driver tells Mulder that the girl ran in front of his car, despite normally being in a wheelchair earlier. Scully takes a look at the girl's body. Her face is bloodied and her watch has stopped at the same time that the agents experienced time loss. Mulder tells Scully that the autopsy lab has been trashed and the body that the agents exhumed has been stolen. They leave the scene in the car they arrived in. Mulder and Scully return to their motel to find it has burnt down, along with all their files and photos. A terrified girl, Theresa Nemman, the medical examiner's daughter, rushes up to the agents and asks for their protection. In a diner, Theresa speaks with Mulder and Scully. She reveals that she often finds herself in the woods with no recollection of how she got there. She fears that she might die, like most of her classmates. Mulder realizes that Theresa is the medical examiner's daughter and that she was the anonymous caller who told him that Peggy O'Dell had died. She admits that her father is covering things up and that she has the same spots as the other teenagers. Suddenly, her nose starts bleeding,  It squirts out of her nose like a mustard bottle. How did they do that? With Peggy's nose bleed it was one of those blood capsules smashed on her face. This was weirdly done. Scully thinks the medical examiner and the detective are aware of the murderer's identity and are responsible for the destruction of the autopsy lab and the agents' motel rooms. However, she is unsure as to the reason the corpse was stolen if the men are indeed responsible. Mulder and Scully stand in a graveyard, getting drenched in rain. Mulder and Scully go to the cemetery but discover that the bodies of the other two victims have also been exhumed. Mulder suddenly realizes the killer's true identity - Billy Miles, the boy in the hospital.   Act Four 5:07 AM Scully can hardly believe what Mulder is suggesting, but he claims that recent strange events, such as Peggy O'Dell dying at exactly the same time that he and Scully lost nine minutes, fit the profile of alien abduction. Mulder theorizes that tests were being conducted on the victims that left the marks found on their backs but the experiments caused a genetic mutation, explaining the disfigured body in Ray Soames' coffin. In regard to the loss of nine minutes that he and Scully witnessed, Mulder believes that conventional time stopped and that an alien impulse, which also caused Billy Miles to take the victims into the forest, actually took control of time itself. Scully laughs almost hysterically with Mulder, finding his theory preposterous but believing it nevertheless. In an attempt to confirm or disprove their suspicions, Mulder and Scully return to the hospital where Billy Miles is undergoing treatment. Although his nurse claims that his mental condition has rendered him incapable of walking, Scully shows Mulder dirt on the soles of the boy's feet. She takes a sample of the dirt shortly before she leaves the room with Mulder. How do bed pans work? Nurse says, “not my aisle of the produce department” Outside, Scully claims to be certain that Billy Miles was in the same forest as the victims. She explains that the dirt she has just discovered matches the strange earth she found in Collum National Forest earlier. Unfortunately, the sample of strange earth was destroyed in the motel fire and, therefore, can not be used to make a comparison. The agents consequently decide to return to the woods, in order to retrieve another sample. When Mulder and Scully arrive at the edge of the forest, they notice Detective Miles' car. A distant scream draws them into the woods. Scully follows Mulder as they run toward the source of the noise, but is suddenly ambushed by Detective Miles and falls to the ground. The detective stands over Scully and reminds her of his previous warning to stay away. He then runs toward Mulder and holds him at gunpoint. Mulder accuses Miles of always knowing what was happening and warns that his son is about to kill another girl. Persuaded by Mulder, Detective Miles rushes towards his son, who holds Theresa Nemman in his arms. The detective urges his son to put her down and raises his gun when Billy Miles does not comply. Mulder knocks the detective over, just as he is about to fire his gun, alerting Scully to their location. Billy Miles lifts Theresa Nemman up to a bright light above. Mulder and the detective witness Billy Miles lift Theresa Nemman in his arms, as leaves whirl around him and a bright light shines down from above. The light eventually engulfs them all, as Scully watches from a distance. After the light dissipates, Billy has no memory of his actions and is confused as to what has happened. The spots on his back are gone and he is no longer crippled by the deleterious effects of a "waking coma." Unlike the other victims, Theresa Nemman is unharmed. Mulder rushes away to find Scully and, when they meet, he seems extremely moved by the event he has just witnessed. Act Five MARCH 22, 1993 FBI HEADQUARTERS, WASHINGTON, D.C. Billy Miles undergoes hypnosis performed by Heitz Werber.  Mulder is in the room with him, while Scully watches from an anteroom through a one-way mirror. Division Chief Blevins, the Cigarette-Smoking Man and the third man from earlier are also in the anteroom. According to Billy Miles, he and his friends were having a party in the woods to celebrate their graduation when he first saw the bright light. It transported him to a location that he calls "the testing place," where a group told him to gather the others so they could do tests. The group put an implant in his nasal cavity, and he would wait for the light to give their orders to him. They assured him that it would be okay and that no-one would know. However, the tests didn't work and they wanted everything destroyed. Although they said they were leaving, Billy is now afraid that they're coming back. Heitz Werber tells him not to be afraid, assuring him that the FBI are only trying to help, as the Cigarette-Smoking Man whispers something to Blevins in the anteroom.  In Blevins' office, Scully and the Division Chief discuss the case. The third man is also present. He and Blevins both seem to believe that the suggestion of alien abduction found in Scully's field reports and Billy Miles' supposed recollections under hypnosis is completely unscientifically founded. Scully replies that, while writing her field reports, she only noted things she actually saw. She admits that she cannot substantiate all of Mulder's claims, including the sudden loss of nine minutes. Blevins tells her that he sees no evidence to support the validity of the X-files, and, therefore, no reason to continue them. Scully answers that real crimes had been committed and were solved, but Blevins rhetorically asks how to prosecute the criminals when the case has no basis in reality. When told that she has no evidence, Scully hands over the implant found in Ray Soames' coffin, which she has kept in her pocket and was not destroyed in the motel fire. According to Scully, a lab test that she conducted failed to identify the material. When Blevins asks what Mulder thinks about the case, Scully responds by implying that her new FBI partner believes aliens are responsible. After she is dismissed from Blevins' office, Scully passes the Cigarette Smoking Man in the corridor outside. She pauses to watch him enter Blevins' office, before continuing on her way. Later, Scully lies awake in bed. She answers a phone call from Mulder, who tells her that a case file on Billy Miles has disappeared from the District Attorney's office in Raymon County, Oregon. Mulder wants to talk with her and Scully agrees that they will discuss their situation on the following day. In a storage room in the Pentagon, the Cigarette Smoking Man files away the implant in a box containing many others, surrounded by rows upon rows of shelves, all containing similar boxes. He exits the room and locks the door by running his keycard through its sensor, before walking away.

There are few families in Britain closer to the royal family than the family of wartime leader Sir Winston Churchill. His grandson, Sir Nicholas Soames, knew Prince Philip very well over a 60-year period and shared his thoughts on his passing in a special edition of LockdownTV.“It's a strange day, a day of reflection, and I hope people get him right," he told me. "The press, with that attention span for which they are famous, always talks about his ‘gaffes' — his gaffes were that what you saw was what you got. He was an absolutely ram rod straight former naval officer, who didn't have much time for sycophancy or bloody fools or anyone else, and spoke as he found. But he was essentially a man of great humour, he had tremendous wit and charm … and he held very strong views. This is not a mere figure.”Sir Nicholas reflected on the values of the generation that the Duke of Edinburgh belonged to:"One of the saddest things about Prince Philip dying — and about a lot of people who die of his generation — is that they are the last of a generation who people talk about slightly glibly, but they were the wartime generation. He did see active service, he knew what it was like to command in great difficulty and at hours of great danger... The values of his generation now feel quite far away. He wasn't a sentimentalist, Prince Philip, but he was a tough egg... He was the epitome of the stiff upper lip. I mean that in the best sense of the word. It wasn't that he didn't share emotion in any way, but he was a great believer in picking yourself up and getting on with it.I'll tell you what I think we have lost, that his generation had — we've lost any sense of proportion about what goes on. Everything is bulled up into an enormous drama, but if you've lived in that generation you've lived through an era of profound upheaval. And you learned to distinguish between what was important and what wasn't important. I think we've lost that now."Sir Nicholas stressed that, as evidenced by Prince Philip's founding of St George's House centre for spiritual reflection at the chapel at Windsor Castle, "he was a thinker, and he was interested in the spiritual side of life."But the reputation for straight talking was well-earned:"He didn't like bloody fools, and if he thought you were talking rubbish he told you… What you saw with Prince Philip was what you got. He was completely authentic as a human being. I think it must have been a great challenge when he first started as the Queen's consort not to allow his own character to dominate. He was always in the Queen's wake, and he supported her through thick and thin, through some terribly difficult times."Sir Nicholas shared that Prince Philip would not have wanted a state funeral, even if Covid had not prevented one:"I think people would have wanted in great numbers to come and show their respects to Prince Philip, and I think it's very sad — and entirely correct and understandable — that there are going to have to be very special arrangements for the funeral, because after all the royal family will want to behave the same as anyone else. I understand the body will lie in state at Windsor before his burial and it is not going to be a great do… I know for a fact that Prince Philip did not want a state funeral, but there would have been an opportunity for the public to pay their respects, because he was greatly admired."

How has philosophy transformed human knowledge and the world we live in? Philosophical investigation is the root of all human knowledge. Developing new concepts, reinterpreting old truths, and reconceptualizing fundamental questions, philosophy has progressed―and driven human progress―for more than two millennia. In short, we live in a world philosophy made. In this concise history of philosophy's world-shaping impact, Scott Soames demonstrates that the modern world―including its science, technology, and politics―simply would not be possible without the accomplishments of philosophy. Firmly rebutting the misconception of philosophy as ivory-tower thinking, in The World Philosophy Made: From Plato to the Digital Age (Princeton University Press, 2019) Scott Soames traces its essential contributions to fields as diverse as law and logic, psychology and economics, relativity and rational decision theory. Beginning with the giants of ancient Greek philosophy, The World Philosophy Made chronicles the achievements of the great thinkers, from the medieval and early modern eras to the present. It explores how philosophy has shaped our language, science, mathematics, religion, culture, morality, education, and politics, as well as our understanding of ourselves. Philosophy's idea of rational inquiry as the key to theoretical knowledge and practical wisdom has transformed the world in which we live. From the laws that govern society to the digital technology that permeates modern life, philosophy has opened up new possibilities and set us on more productive paths. The World Philosophy Made explains and illuminates as never before the inexhaustible richness of philosophy and its influence on our individual and collective lives.

Und die anderen? Die würde er zurücklassen, damit sie selbst schwimmen oder untergehen konnten. Fels war hart, und diese Härte prägte seinen Charakter, aber er setzte sie immer noch destruktiv ein Tief in seinem Inneren war nur Larry und sah heraus. Er duldete nur sich selbst in seinem Herzen Ein Mann, der Geld liebt, ist ein Drecksack, den man hassen muß. Ein Mann, der nicht damit umgehen kann, ist ein Narr. Man haßt ihn nicht, aber man bemitleidet ihn. sie ist zu alt, sich noch zu ändern, und du wirst allmählich alt genug, das einzusehen.« Sie hat drei Schichten Beton und eine Schicht Schnellbinder auf ihre Ansichten gekleistert und fand es gut. Ich war dumm, und niemand sieht es gern, wenn ein Dummer schlau wird. Das ist die ganze Geschichte Du hast immer nach Ärger gesucht, wenn er dir nicht von selbst über den Weg gelaufen ist. Ich sag’s dir ehrlich«, sagte Poke. »Ich bin plötzlich so nervös wie ’ne langschwänzige Katze in ’nem Zimmer voller Schaukelstühle. Situation normal, alles im Eimer Aber denk positiv und danke Gott, daß er nicht auch noch dein Gehirn angetickt hat, wo er schon mal dabei war. »Gehen Sie heim, legen Sie sich hin«, schrieb Nick. »Ich passe auf. Außerdem muß ich das Geld für die Tabletten verdienen.« »Keiner arbeitet so hart für dich wie ein Junkie«, sagte Soames und gackerte Das Leben ist schön, Nick, aber ich habe feststellen müssen, daß das Alter einen unangemessen hohen Tribut von den ach so hoch geschätzten Vorurteilen fordert. Es war ein Gesicht, das garantiert jede harmlose Biertischdiskussion über Sportergebnisse in eine blutige Schlägerei verwandelt hätte. Er war eine Embolie, die nach einer Stelle suchte, wo sie passieren konnte, ein Knochensplitter auf der Suche nach einem weichen Organ zum Durchbohren, eine einsame Krebszelle, die nach einer Gefährtin suchte – dann würden sie einen Hausstand gründen und sich einen niedlichen kleinen bösartigen Tumor großziehen und jene, die so gut hassen gelernt haben, daß sich der Haß in ihren Gesichtern zeigt wie Hasenscharten und die nirgends willkommen sind, außer bei ihresgleichen, Er war dort bekannt, und selbst der Verrückteste unter ihnen konnte ihm nur von der Seite in das dunkle,grinsende Gesicht sehen. wo er vor Schulklassen Vorträge hielt und die Schüler und Schülerinnen der Mittelschicht (hoffte er) mit der Nachricht verblüffte, daß Dichtung lebte – sie war zwar bettlägerig, aber nichtsdestotrotz bösartig aktiv. Weil etwas in der Luft lag. Er konnte es fühlen, konnte es in der Nacht schmecken. Er konnte es schmecken, ein rußiger, heißer Geschmack, der von überall herkam, als wollte Gott ein Grillfest machen, bei dem die ganze Zivilisation das Barbecue war. Die Holzkohle war außen schon heiß, weiß und blättrig und innen rot wie Dämonenaugen. Etwas Riesiges, etwas Gewaltiges Da er allein in einer Welt voller Dummköpfe war, hatte er Schmerzen wie ein geprügelter Hund und Heimweh wie ein auf einer einsamen Insel gestrandeter Mann. Sie haben mich für einen Irren gehalten«, sagte er. »Die Möglichkeit, daß sie recht haben könnten, hat auch nicht zur Entspannung unseres Verhältnisses beigetragen.« Keine Seele, aber Humor. Das war es; eine Art tanzende, irre Heiterkeit Zeigen Sie mir einen einzelnen Mann oder eine Frau, und Sie werden einen Heiligen oder eine Heilige sehen. Zeigen Sie mir zwei Menschen, und sie werden sich ineinander verlieben. Geben Sie mir drei, und sie werden das bezaubernde Ding erfinden, das wir » Gesellschaft« nennen. Geben Sie mir vier, und sie werden eine Pyramide bauen. Geben Sie mir fünf, und sie werden einen zum Paria stempeln. Geben Sie mir sechs, und sie werden das Vorurteil neu erfinden. Geben Sie mir sieben, und in sieben Jahren erfinden sie den Krieg neu. Der Mensch mag nach Gottes Ebenbild erschaffen worden sein, die menschliche Gesellschaft aber ganz sicherlich nach dem Ebenbild seines Gegenspielers, und sie will immer wieder nach Hause. Religiöser Wahn ist einer der wenigen unfehlbaren Methoden, auf die Unbillen der Welt zu reagieren, weil er reinen Zufall vollkommen ausschließt. Für den wahren religiösen Fanatiker geschieht alles mit einem Sinn. Der Mülleimermann verschlang die Eier und fühlte sich innerlich gut und warm. Dieses warme Hochgefühl war seiner Natur so fremd, daß es ihm fast wie eine Krankheit vorkam. Er versuchte beim Essen, es zu isolieren und zu verstehen. Er sah auf, betrachtete die Gesichter ringsum und glaubte zu verstehen, was es war. Glücklichsein Klar«, sagte Glen. »Wenn du den demokratischen Prozess kurzschließen willst, frag einen Soziologen. Der schwarze Mann wollte – konnte – nur zerstören. Der Antichrist? Man könnte genausogut sagen Antischöpfer. (Gott schöpft Dinge in die Welt und kümmert sich einen Scheißdreck um das, was er dahingeschissene. Das Böse ist nicht so selbstsüchtig zu schaffen, es verwaltet die Ressourcen im besten Sinne) Es waren die Sterne von Hassenden, und weil das so war, fühlte Harold sich berufen, heute nacht etwas auf sie zu wünschen. Sternenglanz, Sternenschein, laß den Wunsch erfüllet sein. Fallt alle tot um Israeliten es nicht mehr angebetet. Als eine Flutwelle den Tempel von Baal vernichtet hat, sind die Malachiten zu dem Ergebnis gekommen, dass er doch kein so toller Gott ist. Aber Jesus macht schon seit zweitausend Jahren Mittagspause, und die Leute folgen nicht nur immer noch seiner Lehre, sondern sie leben und sterben in dem Glauben, daß er eines Tages zurückkehren und damit wieder alles beim alten sein wird Am Ende aller Vernunft steht das Massengrab. Wir haben gemeinsam unsere Seelen verkauft, Harold, aber von mir ist noch genug übrig, daß ich für meine den vollen Preis will. Verrückte oder Menschen auf dem Totenbett sind Wesen mit drastisch veränderter Psyche. Ein gesunder, normaler Mensch könnte die göttliche Botschaft vielleicht entsprechend der eigenen Persönlichkeit interpretieren. Mit anderen Worten, ein gesunder Mensch dürfte einen beschissenen Propheten abgeben.

We entered into this show without the guidance of Julie...and we felt her absence...but we persevered and made it through the fire of two VERY problematic and interesting films. We start off with 1970's "The Mind of Mr. Soames" with a great lead performance from Terrence Stamp and directed with flair by Alan Cooke. Based on a novel of the same name, it tells the story of a 30 year old man who's been in a coma since birth who is awoken after a surgery is performed. We then follow the titular character as he is brought through the various stages of human development at a very rapid pace. It is fascinating science fiction and totally worth your time. We follow that up with the real standout this time, the incredibly twisted and dark "Toys Are Not for Children" from 1972. It is one of only two films from Stanley H. Brassloff and we REALLY wish he had gone on to make more. The story is focused on young Jamie Goddard who's parents SERIOUSLY did a number on her. She is now an adult with an unusual series of connections in her brain that link toys, her father and sexuality. It goes there, and it stays there and it really makes you think. This is a strange combination of grindhouse exploitation and art-film. It blew us away and we recommend it highly, but with warnings...there is some deeply problematic stuff in there, but we do think it's worth your time. Let us know what you'd like us to look at next by writing to flickersfrom@yahoo.com or flickersfrom@gmail.com.  You can also reach us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!

I dagens talkshow: Vi ägnar oss allt mindre åt sex hur går det att vända? Hade Winston Churchill hanterat Brexit-krisen bättre än dagens politiker? Och så en svårighetsanalys av språket i P1. Ska sex skrivas in i almanackan? Flera internationella studier tyder på att vi ägnar oss mindre och mindre åt sex. Är lösningen att skriva in aktiviteten i almanackan, ja helt enkelt att införa kalendersex? Lotta Löfgren-Mårtensson, professor i hälsa och samhälle, Malmö universitet och Malin Drevstam, sexolog och psykoterapeut, medverkar i dagens program. Hur hade Churchill tacklat Brexit? Idag kommer Storbritanniens premiärminister Theresa May att berätta vad som blir plan B när det gäller Brexit. Under helgen blev Winston Churchills sonson Sir Nicholas Soames, intervjuad i franska Le Figaro. Soames menar att Brexit är ett misstag och han är övertygad om att hans morfar hade fixat Brexit-krisen bättre än dagens politiker. Vad är det som tyder på att Winston Churchill skulle varit bättre än dagens politiker på att hitta en lösning på Brexit-krisen? Thomas Roth, 1:e intendent på Armémuseum i Stockholm, kommer till studion. Så begripligt är språket i P1 Och så fördjupar vi oss i ett lyssnarbrev som menar att ordvalet i P1 är alldeles för komplicerat. Hur mycket går det att förenkla utan att förlora komplexiteten?

If you opened a box of Quaker Oats in 1955, you'd find a deed to one square inch of land in northwestern Canada. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story behind the Klondike Big Inch land giveaway, whose bizarre consequences are still being felt today. We'll also hear about a time traveler who visited the British Museum in 1997 and puzzle over why a prizewinning farmer gives away his best seed to his competitors.
