Podcasts about stairways

Only 5% of homes in the U.S. are moderately accessible. Stairways, sunken living rooms, poorly designed bathrooms, and trip hazards are just the start.    Greg Cantore's journey has spanned bicycle mechanics to defense work and leading nonprofit programs. But his mother-in-law's experience living in a house that wasn't designed for her needs opened his eyes to the bigger issue.   After modifying her home, and later adjusting to her needs in assisted living, Greg realized there was a larger need for accessible, supportive home solutions. Today, he runs Little Deeds, a company dedicated to making homes safer and more accessible for aging individuals.   Your home should support you as you age. Find out how Greg is helping make that a reality for so many. We discussed:   How universal design makes homes safer and more accessible as we age Greg's career journey—and how it led him to create Little Deeds The challenges people face with aging in place  Simple ways to make your home safer and more accessible Why it's important to plan ahead with home modifications   Resources   Little Deeds

If you get deep enough into the conversation about the housing crisis, you're inevitably going to hear the words "single egress". A lot of people, especially in Canada, think that the country is too strict with its stairwell rules, which require multiple exits for almost every multi-storey apartment building.Conrad Speckert, intern architect at LGA Architectural Partners, thinks this needs to change, and tells Mike and Cara why.Links:This site is a guide for converting single family homes to multi-unit housing.https://rehousing.ca/Guest: Conrad Speckert https://x.com/conrad_speckertHosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern Produced by Meredith Martin This podcast is funded by the Neptis Foundation and brought to you by the Smart Prosperity Institute.

Send us a Text Message.Lauren is home from her honeymoon, and we ARE in Kansas this week! Lauren starts off by telling us about a mysterious water well. Can't tell you much more than that because Lauren doesn't finish the mystery and leaves us on a cliffhanger! After that, she shares about the legends and ghost stories that surround Stull Cemetery. The cemetery is rumored to be one of the 7 Stairways to Hell. Then, Kenzie gives us a classic, one of a kind unsolved murder mystery. Gary Simmons disappeared Tuesday, October 15th, 1974 after writing a $30,000 check for a stranger. At least…that is what we are led to believe.

Al-Maʻārij ( المعارج, “The Ascending Stairways”) is the seventieth chapter of the Qur'an, with 44 verses The Surah takes its name from the word dhil Ma'arij[1] in the third ayah. The word appears twice in the Quran.[2][3][4] Abdullah Yusuf Ali, an Indian Islamic scholar, introduces the surah as “... another Islamic eschatology Surah closely connected in subject matter with the last one. Patience and the mystery of Time will show the ways that climb the Heaven. Sin and Goodness must each eventually come to its own.”[5] It is narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings upon him) that whoever recites Surah al-Ma'ārij, Allah will give him the rewards of those who keep their trusts and promises and those who observe upon performing their daily prayers.[6] Summary[edit] 1 A man demanded that the day of judgment might come at once 2-4 The day, whose space is fifty thousand years, will surely come 5-14 Muhammad to bear the insults of the infidels patiently, because judgment is near 12-18 Riches, children, and friends will not save the wicked from hell 19-24 The wicked are niggardly in health, but full of complaint when evil befalleth 25-35 The character of true 36-41 Unbelievers need entertain no hope they shall escape destruction 42-45 Muhammad counselled to permit the unbelieving Makkans to sport themselves, because their damnation is nigh [6] Theme and Subject Matter It admonishes and gives warning to the disbelievers who made fun of the news about Resurrection and the Hereafter, and Hell and Heaven, and challenged the Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace) to cause Resurrection with which he threatened them to take place if what he said was true and they had become worthy of the punishment in Hell by denying it. The whole Surah is meant to answer this denial. The Surah opens with words to the effect:"A demander has demanded a torment, the torment which must befall the deniers; and when it takes place, there will be none to prevent it, but it will take place at its own appointed time. Allah has His own way of doing things, but He is not unjust. Therefore, have patience, O Prophet, at what they say. They think it is far off, but We see it as near at hand." Then it is said:"Resurrection, which they desire to be hastened out of jest and fun, is terrible, and when it comes, it will cause great distress to the culprits. At that time they will even be prepared to give away their wives and children and their nearest kinsfolk in ransom to escape the punishment, but they will not be able to escape it. Then the people have been warned to the effect; "On that Day the destinies of men will be decided strictly on the basis of their belief and their conduct. Those who turn away from the Truth in the world and amass wealth and withhold it from the needy, will be doomed to Hell; and those who fear the punishment of God here, believe in the Hereafter, keep up the Prayer, discharge the rights of the needy out of their wealth, strictly avoid immoral and wicked deeds, practice honesty in all their dealings, fulfill their pledges and trust and bear true witness, will have a place of honor in Paradise" In conclusion, the disbelievers of Makkah who rushed in upon the Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace) from every side as soon as they saw him, in order to make fun of him, have been warned to the effect: "If you do not believe, Allah will replace you by other people who will be better than you", and the Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace) has been consoled, so as to say: "Do not take to heart their mockery and jesting; leave them to indulge in their idle talk and foolish conduct if they are bent upon experiencing the disgrace and humiliation of the Resurrection; they will themselves see their evil end."'

On today's walk, we are having a short discussion about stairways. People have reported in the middle of somewhere.

Is San Francisco a great stairway city? Walk SF's Nancy Botkin answers with a definite "yes," after designing the S.F. Stair Challenge, a 4-mile, 2,000-step path through North Beach, Russian Hill and Telegraph Hill that's happening Saturday, May 6, 2023, exclusive to members of the pedestrian advocacy group. Botkin leads Total SF hosts Peter Hartlaub and Heather Knight on the bulk of the hike, then sits down at Joe DiMaggio Park in North Beach to pick some favorite stairways in San Francisco. Produced by Peter Hartlaub.

A listener wants to know about Cincinnati's public stairways, connecting low points with hilltops.

The first eye-witnesses of the resurrection were confused and afraid.  They thought they had experienced an “end,” but realized that they had to experience death before they could experience life.  We each have our own “resurrection story” to tell the world.  What is holding you back? churchofthelakes.org

Lorna Byrne is an international number 1 bestselling author (her last two books have gone straight in at #1 on the UK Sunday Times Chart) with more than a million readers around the world. Her books, Angels in my Hair, Stairways to Heaven, A Message of Hope from the Angels and Love from Heaven have been translated into 30 languages. Lorna has been seeing angels since she was a baby. Very unusually, she sees angels physically with as much clarity as the rest of us see people and she sees them every day. This diminutive, soft-spoken, uneducated Irish woman who did not talk about what she was seeing until seven years ago, says she has no idea why she can see angels when others can't, adding that she is just an ordinary person.

I denne episoden intervjuer Kjetil Bremer fra NAPP tre behandlere om deres erfaringer med å implementere et nytt behandlingstilbud for ungdom med personlighetsproblemer i Namsos. Sara Germans Selvik (psykiater og veileder), Anja Catharina Bach (spesialsykepleier, barne- og ungdomspsykiatrisk poliklinikk) og Linda Jørstad (spesialsykepleier, voksenpsykiatrisk poliklinikk) forteller om en behandlingsmodell som er lite kjent i Norge: Stepps og Stairways. De forteller om viktig behandling og forebyggende arbeid med ungdom som har en tendens til å bli marginalisert. Vi får høre litt om innholdet i en behandlingstilnærmingen Stepps og Stairways som inneholder ulike elementer: Psykoedukasjon, ferdighetstrening og arbeid i forsterkningsteam kombinert med individualterapi. De forteller om positive holdningsendringer hos hjelpere og pasienter når de har fått til et godt behandlingstilbud.Vil du delta på vår digitale fagdag?

(70:1) A beseecher besought the visitation of chastisement, (70:2) (a chastisement meant) for the unbelievers, one which none can avert; (70:3) a chastisement from Allah, the Lord of the ascending steps, (70:4) by which the angels and the Spirit ascend to Him in one Day the duration of which is fifty thousand years. (70:5) So, (O Prophet), persevere with gracious perseverance. (70:6) Verily they think that the chastisement is far off, (70:7) while We think that it is near at hand. (70:8) It shall befall on a Day whereon the sky will become like molten brass, (70:9) and the mountains will become like dyed tufts of wool, (70:10) and no bosom friend will enquire about any of his bosom friends (70:11) although they shall be within sight of one another. The guilty one would fain ransom himself from the torment of that Day by offering his children, (70:12) and his spouse and his brother, (70:13) and his kinsfolk who had stood by him, (70:14) and all persons of the earth, if only he could thus save himself. (70:15) By no means! It will be the fierce flame (70:16) that will strip off the scalp. (70:17) It shall insistently summon him who turned his back and retreated, (70:18) and amassed wealth and covetously hoarded it. (70:19) Verily man is impatient by nature: (70:20) bewailing when evil befalls him, (70:21) and tight-fisted when good fortune visits him, (70:22) except those that pray, (70:23) and are constant in their Prayer; (70:24) and those in whose wealth there is a known right (70:25) for those that ask and those that are dispossessed, (70:26) those who firmly believe in the Day of Recompense, (70:27) and fear the chastisement of their Lord– (70:28) surely the chastisement of their Lord is a thing none can feel secure from – (70:29) and those who guard their private parts, (70:30) except in regard to their spouses and those whom their right hands possess, for in regard to them they are not reproachable, (70:31) but any who seeks to go beyond that, it is indeed they who are the transgressors, (70:32) and those who fulfil their trusts and their covenants, (70:33) and those who are upright in their testimonies; (70:34) and who take due care of their Prayer: (70:35) all these shall live honourably in the Gardens. (70:36) But what is the matter with the unbelievers who are hurrying towards you (70:37) in crowds, both on the right and on the left? (70:38) Does everyone of them wish to enter the Garden of Bliss? (70:39) By no means! They know that which We have created them from. (70:40) I swear by the Lord of the easts and the wests that We have the power (70:41) to replace them by others who would be better than they; and We shall certainly not be overpowered. (70:42) So leave them to engage in vain talk and to amuse themselves until they come face to face with the Day which they are promised, (70:43) the Day on which they will hastily come forth from their graves, as though they were hurrying on to the altars of their deities. (70:44) Their eyes will be downcast and disgrace will overwhelm them. Such is the Day that they were promised.

Episode: 2217 Escalator: the Not-All-Purpose Magical Stairway.  Today, magic stairways.

You're walking through the woods, maybe just slightly off the path. There's a odd quiet in the trees and your gut tells you something isn't right. You squint into the distance, trying to make out that odd shadow being formed by the disappearing sun when your eyes adjust and you see it; a staircase in the middle of the forest. Would you climb them? There has been chatter recently all over the Internet about mysterious stairs found in the woods. People are scrambling to get the stories out, but also to explain them. Tripping on Legends has been to one, but there might be an even more mysterious set waiting for us as we plan our summer trip.

What would you do if you were walking in the woods and stumbled upon a stairway just sitting there all by itself? There is no house surrounding the stairs. Are these mysterious stairways to nowhere just the leftover part of some long-forgotten house, or is there something paranormal going on with these stairs.

Review: Stairways to Heaven Psychedelica Lex Episode 2021-033 Review: Stairways to Heaven Part 1 of 1 ____________________________________________________ Author and host, Gary Michael Smith, Esq., is a decades-experienced, AV rated, attorney, American Arbitration Association panelist, founding director of the Arizona Cannabis Bar Association, board member of the Arizona Cannabis Chamber of Commerce, and general counsel to the nation's oldest federally recognized, 501C3, multi-racial peyote church. Psychedelica Lex is the first book to offer a comprehensive survey of the laws and regulations governing psychedelic substances. ABOUT THE PSYCHEDELICA LEX PODCAST AND CHANNEL President Nixon's enactment of the Controlled Substances Act in 1970 banished most psychedelics to Schedule I, making psychedelics for most purpose illegal. However, as the Congressional Record reveals, psychedelics never got a fair trial and little scientific evidence, if any, was considered by lawmakers. Prohibition was more about politics than public health. Yet, historical record, anecdotal evidence, and scientific studies all suggest that prohibition was an unnecessary and harmful overreaction and that many benefits may be derived from psychedelics. Psychedelica Lex puts the question of psychedelics on trial. Hosted by a veteran litigation attorney, each episode will explore psychedelics from different perspectives. As we explore the evidence together, you - the audience - will serve as jurors. Together we will examine every facet.

Welcome back! In this week's episode Sandra talks about the history of Halloween and more specifically the legend of "Stingy Jack." This legend tells the tale of a man by the name of "Stingy Jack" who tricked the Devil several times. As punishment he is doomed to wander the earth forever with only a burning coal to light his way. The Irish referred to him as "Jack O'Lantern." Today it is simply Jack-O-Lantern. Later, Danielle talks about Sarah Winchester and her mystery house. There is much speculation surrounding the Winchester Mystery Home and Sarah Winchester herself. Was Sarah a true believer of the spirit world or was she simply a woman who wanted peace and quiet? The untimely death of her daughter and husband led Sarah on a mission to appease the restless spirits who may have lost their lives from Winchester rifles. The ever-expanding home led to more and more questions by the public. Stairways that led to ceiling and doors that opened up to walls were constructed, but the unending construction crew maintained Sarah's lucidity and sanity.

Stairways do more than just provide a way for us to get from one floor to the other. If placed properly, stairways can help the energy that exists in our home, called chi, to move up and down easily and smoothly. If stairways are not done well, they can inhibit the proper flow of energy throughout the home. Worse still, poor stairways can create problems or even harm us.

Recently, I met Louise through a mutual friend and colleague. From the first moment we spoke on a Zoom there was an instant connection. We have a few things in common. ;-) I am inspired by her work and her main ethos in her work. She is truly about helping women get their businesses in coaching and healing to run the way THEY want to run not by someone's else design. Keyword here is design. More on that in a moment.   In this interview, Louise did not hold anything back. She shares her personal journey that includes all of the following: Working in a company that she had to travel and live in a hotel for 5 days out of the week. Having an eating disorder. Through trying times, a friend gave her a book that changed the way she saw life. Lorne Byrne's book - Stairways to heaven Having both this book and Reiki ultimately helped her make a leap into creating a life she wanted. We also talk about another big influence of hers, The Course in Miracles. What did she leap into a very small business and big hopes & dreams   My Spiritual path just landed in my lap from those 2 things (Reiki & Lorne Byrne's book). So I went for some Reiki and I read the book. At that time I didn't know anything about angels…anything esoteric. Didn't know anything about the Law of attraction, anything at all. In the book she tells her journey about how she sees angels but in it she said, “You can ask them for help.” So I started to ask them for help. I'd say, “Angels help me.” I don't know what help I needed. I knew I needed help. From there I met someone else who was quite spiritual who gave me some books. And really from there I realized that I was in charge of my life. It was life wasn't happening to me, I was creating all of this stuff. And I went on a massive journey of learning to love myself and eat again. Realizing what I wanted to do with my life and eventually quit my job and started my own business. What does Louise know and how does she teach this? It's always been about her own inner work. I led her into doing more and sharing it with others. I won't give the WHOLE story away but here are some things she does to support her clients: Human Design NLP Psychology Coaching Life Scripting (soon to graduating in this) Reiki Master Aromatherapist Uh....what am I forgetting? Have a listen to this amazing, talented, funny (we giggle a lot!) Holistic mindset & business coach tell you How she found her CFI (chief fun investigator) and how you can do it too!  A little bit about Louise:  Louise is a holistic mindset b& business coach helping coaches, healers & therapists who are sick & tired of going round in circles create a consistent income in their business without the hustle. Using a blend of life scrip & human design coaching. Helping her clients move from struggle and hustle to flow, ease & achieving those income goals! Louise uses a wealth of knowledge that she gained from studying psychology, NLP, psychotherapy, holistic coaching and her own personal experiences in business to help entrepreneurs ditch the limiting beliefs & past conditioning to enable them to master their mindset and create a business and life that they love. When Louise isn't working you'll find her on her yoga matt (she's a yoga teacher) reading, meditating or doing some sort of spiritual stuff! You can find her work at her website , http://www.louisehowardcoaching.com, and on Facebook here, https://www.facebook.com/groups/enlightenedentrepreneuracademy/   P.S. If you enjoyed this episode and want to know more about Louise she will be in our community the Woo House coming up in July. Interested in joining us and learning from her directly?

Lorna has been seeing angels since she was a baby. Very unusually, she sees angels physically with as much clarity as the rest of us see people and she sees them every day. This diminutive, soft-spoken, uneducated Irish woman who did not talk about what she was seeing until seven years ago, says she has no idea why she can see angels when others can't, adding that she is just an ordinary person.

I'd love to meet you in the group.   Important Events May 20, 1799  Today is the birthday of the prolific 19th-century French writer, poet, and the father of Realism in French literature, Honoré de Balzac. Today, the Maison de Balzac, or Honoré’s modest Paris home, has been turned into a museum. With its courtyard and garden, the house faced the Eiffel Tower and was a refuge for Honoré, who rented the top floor under his housekeeper's name (Mr. de Breugnol). The home had multiple exits, which allowed Honoré to flee his creditors quickly. Honoré’s friends used a password to be able to gain access to the house to visit him. Today a bust of Honoré de Balzac stands in the little garden where fans of his work can sit and enjoy refreshments during their visit. Laurel shrubs frame Honoré’s bust - a nod to the pivotal women named Laure in Honoré’s life: his mother Laure, his younger sister Laurence, his older sister Laure, and his lover and faithful champion Laure de Berny who was one year older than his mother. Honoré’s house is one of three home museums for French literary greats - along with the homes of Honoré’s dear friend Victor Hugo and George Sand. Today, Honoré’s five-room apartment contains his writing desk and chair, as well as his tea kettle and a coffee pot. Honoré was a notorious coffee-drinker and a night owl as he wrote his masterpieces. But for Honoré’s fans, his most famous possession was his oversized gold and turquoise-studded cane - the handle looks like it is covered in forget-me-knots. Honoré’s cane created a sensation in 1834 Paris, and soon fancy walking sticks were the standard of fashion for gentlemen. When Honoré was alive, his home smelled of pears. Honoré loved pears, and he stockpiled 1,500 pears in his pantry. He picked violets and lilacs for the woman he would ultimately marry in his garden: Ewelina Hańska. Their tragic love story was chronicled in their many letters to each other, which altogether read like a novel. Although she was married, Ewelina had started the affair by writing an anonymous fan letter to Honoré. Honoré and Ewelina’s relationship was forged in nearly two decades worth of letters to each other. Over the course of nearly twenty years, they had only met in person eight times before they were eventually married. Sadly, five short months after their wedding, Honoré died in Paris in 1850. In terms of his work, gardeners should know that Honoré’s 1835 book, Lily of the Valley, has nothing to do with the woodland plant used by Dior to create their famous fragrance in 1956. Instead, Honoré’s  book tells the story of unconsummated love, and the title was inspired by the bible verse from the Song of Solomon 2:1-2: I am the Rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys. As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters. Today, gardeners can remember Honoré in the 'Honoré de Balzac ®' rose; a pink-blend hybrid tea rose introduced in the United States by Conard-Pyle (Star Roses) in 1996. In 1845, Honoré wrote, “A young bride is like a plucked flower; but a guilty wife is like a flower that had been walked over.” He also wrote, “Love has its own instinct, finding the way to the heart, as the feeblest insect finds the way to its flower, with a will which nothing can dismay nor turn aside.” Finally, here’s a little verse from Honoré’s poem called The Camellia: In Nature's poem flowers have each their word  The rose of love and beauty sings alone; The violet's soul exhales in tenderest tone; The lily's one pure simple note heard. The cold Camellia only, stiff and white, Rose without perfume, lily without grace, When chilling winter shows his icy face, Blooms for a world that vainly seeks delight. Yet, in a theatre, or ball-room light, I gladly see Camellias shining bright  Above some stately woman's raven hair, Whose noble form fulfills the heart's desire, Like Grecian marbles warmed by Phidian fire.   May 20, 1913 On this day, the first Chelsea Flower Show was held at Chelsea General Hospital. Originally called the Royal Horticultural Society's Great Spring Show, the first Chelsea Flower Show was held in 1862 at the RHS garden in Kensington. Staged in a single tent, the first show made a profit of £88.   Unearthed Words Rikki-Tikki had a right to be proud of himself. But he did not grow too proud, and he kept that garden as a mongoose should keep it, with tooth and jump and spring and bite, till never a cobra dared show its head inside the walls. ― Rudyard Kipling,  English journalist, short-story writer, poet, and novelist, Rikki-Tikki-Tavi   Grow That Garden Library Petal by Adriana Picker This book came out in 2020, and the subtitle is A World of Flowers Through the Artist's Eye.  Well, let me begin by saying that this book is absolutely gorgeous, and it contains original artwork by Adriana Picker. I love that her last name is Picker and that the title of this book is Petal; Somehow, that goes together. Now, as I just mentioned, Adriana is an artist - she's a botanical illustrator. In this book, she features the petals from all sorts of flowers - from simple daisies to exotic lilies. And she features all kinds of angles in her work. You're going to see close-ups, cross-sections of flowers and buds, and foliage that reveals the flower's unique characteristics. You're going to see architectural beauty, incredible colors, and texture that leaps off the page. Adriana writes about things like the fame of particular flowers and the folklore and traditions surrounding certain blossoms. She discusses the scent of flowers and floriography, which is the meaning and symbolism behind some of our favorite blooms - in addition to some fun facts and flower trivia. Another feature that I especially appreciate about Adriana's book is that she organizes her work by plant family. First, she covers the rose family and the legume family, and then she moves into the daisy family, the nightshade family, the orchid family, and so on. And I thought you'd enjoy getting a little taste of this personal story from Adriana that she shares and introducing her book. She writes, “When I was five years old, my maternal grandmother, Emma announced to my mother that I would be a florist. And every time I visited my grandmother, we would spend hours together in her beautiful garden, hunting for blossoms.  Well, I did not have very long in Emma's garden. She died when I was seven and my grandfather sold the home.  And on the day of her funeral, her roses were in full glorious bloom. And I collected a huge bunch for the dining table. My aunt Margo made me point out each Rose Bush I had picked from so that she could move them to her own garden and memory of her mother.  My botanical education continued after Emma's death furthered by my mother, Sally. also an avid gardener.” Now isn't that a wonderful glimpse into the early inspiration behind Adriana's work and art? I love that story. This book is 256 pages of beautiful lush botanical art from a woman with a lifelong passion for flowers, plants, and botanical illustrations.

Here are a few fun facts about this beloved sweet fruit: First, the etymology of the name strawberry is likely a corruption of the phrase "strewn berry." This would reference the way the plant produced thanks prolifically to runners, resulting in berries that were strewn about the ground. Fragariaphobia is a little-known word and is the fear of strawberries. In terms of their uniqueness, strawberries are the only fruit that wears its seeds on the outside, and the average strawberry has 200 seeds. Strawberries are perennial and are members of the rose family. The strawberry flower averages five to seven petals. In terms of harvesting, strawberry plants are hand-picked about every three days. A single acre of land can grow almost 50,000 pounds of strawberries. California produces a billion pounds of strawberries every year which means that 75% of the American strawberry crop is grown in California - with Florida and North Carolina in the 2nd and 3rd place. As for strawberry quotes, the author Toni Morrison once wrote: “I have only to break into the tightness of a strawberry, and I see summer - its dust and lowering skies.” And the author Tsugumi Ohba, Death Note Box Set, wrote “If you keep my secret, this strawberry is yours.”   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

70th Surah in The Holy Qur'an

Our ancestors lived in perilous times, not knowing what would happen from one day to the next. They faced sickness, death, and suffering—the likes of which we can only imagine today. One of the only ways they found to protect themselves was through rituals, the practice of doing things in a particular order. In the same way, certain practices became superstitions—a belief that doing things in a specific fashion would lead to either a positive or ill-fated result.These superstitions have passed on from generation to generation, sometimes for centuries, through word of mouth and folklore. They have become ingrained in our cultures, in our personal mythologies. We often don't even question where they came from or why exactly we practice them.Or perhaps you aren't a subscriber of superstitions, having chosen to allow the scientific and rational thinking of the era we live in to override those "old wives tales" that belong to a different time in history.Either way, their background is fascinating. And you may find yourself saying… Well, just in case.Music:Deep Relaxation Preview by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/5726-deep-relaxation-previewLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-licenseGhostpocalypse – 6 Crossing the Threshold by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/FabledCollective)

Both Pixar’s new feature SOUL and Powell and Pressburger’s 1946 fantasy-romance A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH center on a soul gone missing from heaven’s ledger because he’s anxious to get back to his life on earth, but the journeys each of them takes to get there end up drawing different conclusions about the meaning of life. This week we’re joined again by critic and 812FilmReviews founder Robert Daniels to dig into SOUL and debate whether it manages to strike the delicate tonal balance it’s reaching for, how it carries its status as the first Pixar film with a Black protagonist, and how it fits into director Pete Doctor’s filmography, before bringing MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH into the discussion to compare the two films’ depictions of afterlife bureaucracy.

With the image early in SOUL of a conveyor belt ferrying new souls into the afterlife, the new Pixar film makes clear the thematic debt it owes to Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s 1946 fantasy-romance A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH. But there’s much more to the Powell and Pressburger film than that indelible image; in this week’s half of our pairing we dig into what lies beyond the stairway to heaven with an assist from critic and 812FilmReviews founder Robert Daniels, with whom we discuss MATTER’s central romantic relationship, its varied approach to tone, and its relationship to the afterlife, both stylistically and narratively. Plus, we respond to some feedback on our recent WOLFWALKERS episode that wonders if the film is "actually AVATAR for kids," as well as a letter seeking clarification on our collective aversion to the term “dated.” Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH, SOUL, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.  Outro Music: Dolly Parton, “Stairway to Heaven”  Learn more about your ad choices.

Our raw milk cheese creamery was the center of the day today. The construction is moving along nicely. Our state inspectors made an appearance and helped us out with details on safety measures. We work with them every step of the way to make sure all safety concerns are addressed. I want to take a minute and say welcome to all the new listeners and welcome back to the veteran homestead-loving regulars who stop by the FarmCast for every episode. I appreciate you all so much. I’m so excited to share with you what’s going on at the farm this week. Our Virginia Homestead Life Updates Winter animal care was high priority today. Let’s talk about that before we get into the details of our lovely raw milk cheese creamery project. We check up on the animals regularly. Some we can easily see in the front fields and every time we go out the driveway. Others are out there in the back fields. It takes a bit more effort to check up on them, but rest assured, they are not out of sight, out of mind. I’ll start with the cows. Cows Our beautiful Normande cows are the centerpiece of our small farmstead raw milk cheese creamery. It is our habit to check on them first. I say first, but they are all out there together. And while we may be aiming at the cows, sometimes it is the sheep or goats that we encounter first. Many times, it is the donkeys. More on that later. There are five big girls in our current herd. I say big girls because these five have already had a calf. We have our newest arrival, Rosie, who is still known has a heifer. That means she has never had a calf. I guess technically she is a bred heifer. She has never had a calf but is currently pregnant. Currently she is in a pasture with the younger calves so we can keep a closer eye on her as her pregnancy progresses. The “Big” Girls Anyway, of the five big girls, four are pregnant. Everyone looks healthy and happy. Claire barely looked up as I approached. She was far too busy eating grass to give me much notice. Violet always looks up whenever we come near. She wants attention and yet she doesn’t want attention. I guess what she really wants in a treat. But they don’t get treats in the winter. Only during lactation. So, she will have to wait until late March or early April to get any more treats. Butter is quite open to petting, while Buttercup avoids it at all costs. Cloud has had her hooves repaired but she is still quite standoffish when out in the field. All of them are easy to get close to when they are up in the milking shed. Funny how that goes. Grazing Abundance The grass in those back fields is holding up very well. They are literally still eating green grass and it is coming on close to mid-December. Scott believes they will not need hay until late February. I can’t tell you how great that is for a couple of reasons. The cost, of course, is always the first concern in my mind. I do all of the accounting and cost is always on my mind. The next great thing is that the green grass is always going to be better nutrition and the animals truly prefer grass to hay. We want to keep them on green grass for as long as possible. Ideally, we would be able to graze them all the way through the winter until the spring grass appears in late March. That is a goal we likely will not meet for many years. We would need additional pasture, especially as we are on a path to grow our herd. Hay is Still Needed If we double our herd size, having green grass available to them for the entire winter is a really long shot without clearing some of our wooded areas and turning them into pasture. That’s a huge job for the distant future. They do fine on hay. It’s just similar to having a burger and fries when you really want a nice traditional home-cooked dinner. Sure, the burger and fries will keep you fed. But the real treat is that homemade roast leg of lamb with macaroni and cheese on the side. Throw in some crowder peas and it is a meal to be savored. Sheep Speaking of savoring a good meal, the sheep will continue to eat as much grass as they can scrounge. When the pickings get slim, the cows will rush to the hay as Scott brings it into the pasture. However, even when they have hay available, the sheep are going to go for every little bit of grass they can find. They eventually go eat the hay. And shortly thereafter, they are right back out there grazing on little bits of grass. Counting Sheep One of the regular exercises we do when checking on animals is counting them. Well, we don’t really count the cows. They are all grazing quietly in the field and we simply identify them by name. The sheep can be a little trickier. They hang out in a bunch and they move together almost as one unit. Trying to pick out individual animals is nearly impossible. Even counting bodies can be a challenge. One method that works well is for Scott to walk toward them from one side and I hang out toward the other side. As they move away from him, they will string out just a little bit and I can more easily get an accurate count. Because they can see me, they walk or trot in my direction more slowly and I can get that accurate count. Eventually, they make a turn away from both of us and bunch up again. I gotta be quick with the count. It’s important that we count regularly and make sure they are all there. If a predator starts picking them off, they will continue one by one until we do something. We have to be vigilant in protecting the sheep. We accounted for all 12 that are in the flock with the big cow girls. This includes three younger girls from spring a year ago and all nine of the lambs from this past spring. Goats As far as the goats, well there is no goat counting. At least not nearly as often. There is little we can do to protect them that they cannot do for themselves. Goats are quite different from sheep in their herding behaviors. For one thing, they can go places sheep wouldn’t dare. Case in point, they were all in a different field than the cows and sheep. It seems that no matter which field that everyone else is currently occupying, the goats find a way to get into the next field. Another disadvantage to counting them easily is that they mill around much more randomly than the sheep. They do cluster together but it is a much larger circle. The space separating each animal is quite a bit larger. And when they see someone approaching, they all get up and start moving about in varying directions in small groups. Eventually, one will take the lead and start to move the herd in a particular direction, everyone else follows – sort of. Goat Herds Again, this is a little different than sheep as they will be farther apart and then bunch up and then spread out again with one or two moving in a random direction. It’s kind of like they are trying to do a goat “head fake” trying to fool you into thinking they are going to run in a different direction from the rest of the herd. Lots of times it is not a fake and they bolt in that direction, taking 1/3 to 1/2 the herd with them. They split up into two or three groups and then rally back together after they run past you. This is what I am talking about when I refer to their self-protection against predators. They go in so many directions, it’s harder to catch them. It’s also harder to count them. Their speed and agility are phenomenal. Today, when they saw us approaching, they immediately moved into the woods. Not running away in particular. Just moving out of sight and into the cover of trees. That’s a signal that these beauties are going to make you work hard for a head count. Maybe we’ll get them counted next time. Donkeys While we were checking on everyone, the donkeys came up for a cuddle and to say “hi”. They have their fuzzy coats on for winter and look so sweet. Just about every day, they wander up to the milking shed and bray at us, well mostly Scott while he is out there working on the building next to them. Have I mentioned how people friendly donkeys are? According to what I’ve read, they are even more personable than horses. I can believe it. They followed me around while we were checking on the other animals. And Daisy likes to come up behind me when I stop and give me a little shove with her head. You know, just a little notice that, “Hey, I’m here. Give me some loving.” And one of the greatest things is that Cocoa will come up behind Daisy and put her head across Daisy’s back trying to get close enough for a nice nose rub, but keeping her mom between us. After that, she will come around and get a more proper petting. What would we do without our donkeys to brighten the day? Raw Milk Cheese Creamery I didn’t give an update on our raw milk cheese creamery last time and lots has happened. There were special panels planned for the milking parlor and in the cheese make room. These panels are specifically chosen because they can be cleaned easily. That work is currently in progress. Milking Parlor Scott started with the milking parlor. The special panels are smooth, white panels that are glued to the wall. It was a little tricky getting them to stick strongly enough for the glue to set up in the cooler weather. In fact, they never did stick completely. So, plan B had to be put into action. Scott found appropriate screws to hold the panels in place. So far, so good with that plan. The milking parlor is done. There was a small run under the ledge where they stand in front of us. And then there was a larger bit of paneling along the wall in front of the cows. On to the cheese make room and more challenges. Raw Milk Cheese Make Room The cheese make room is designed to be cleaned easily and efficiently. These panels run from floor to ceiling, all the way around the room. I’m impressed with them. Clean up before, during and after cheesemaking is an important, necessary and time-consuming effort. These panels are going to be excellent for helping me out with keeping the room immaculate in the least amount of time. Part of the challenge with getting the glue to stick relates to the ambient temperature and the temperature of the walls themselves. Even though screws have been added to the mix, they are really only there to hold it up against the wall until the glue can set. The panels are only screwed into the wall around the edges. The center is still held against the wall with glue. A few days ago, the temperature quite strongly took a downward turn. Additional techniques had to be employed to get the cheese make room warm enough to keep going with construction. It’s always something, right? Heating Up the Room We have a couple of small space heaters we used during our time living in a camper in South Carolina. Those had to be dug out. One was already in use in the small cheese room to keep the temp up to the proper level in there. Scott tried to use the other, lesser unit to heat up the cheese make room. He had even tacked up heavy plastic on the ceiling beams to hold in some of the heat. Imagine the extra time added for that little bit of unplanned construction. He added the heater but it wasn’t strong enough to do the job. The cheese make room is quite large. The cheese cave is much smaller than the cheese make room. The remedy for that was exchanging the radiant heater out of the cheese cave with the weaker heater. The lesser unit is adequate for the job of keeping the temperature up to the target in the cheese cave, though it does not hold the temperature with the same steadiness as the radiant heater. Anyway, the radiant heater worked well enough when moved to the cheese make room, keeping the temperature up to 50 degrees or so. The work on the wall is now progressing quite well in there. Stairways to Attics Moving on to stairways. There will be two very long stairways from the ground to the attics. Attic space is in use above the creamery and then a half stair up to the attic above the milking parlor. There is an outside door into each of these areas. What’s missing is an easy way to get into those doors. Temporary methods using the tractor to lift a pallet full of stuff or simply climbing a ladder with your arms full are inadequate. Scott is working hard to get those stairs designed in between waiting for the cheese make room to be warm enough in which to work. Yay! I’ll be glad when the stairs are done. I sent lots of stuff up there for storage – stuff that I use but perhaps not that often. Being able to just climb the stairs to get it back will be great. And then of course, once I’m done using it, back up the stairs I go to put it back into storage. Lots of herd share jars, canning equipment, and so on. The dehydrator just made a trip back down and will go back up in a few days. Stairs are going to be great. The Roof Another huge step forward is the ordering of the materials for the roof. That was a big deal. Many hours went into the estimates for how many and which pieces are needed to do the job. It is going to cost lots more than I expected, but in the end, you just pay for it and move on. You gotta have a roof and the roof area for this project is huge. Take a look at some of the photos and videos on our Facebook page. There will be much more to report on that coming up soon in future podcasts. The materials are ordered but have not yet arrived. The VDACS Inspectors The last bit of info I want to share about the progress of the creamery is the visit from our local VDACS inspectors. VDACS is the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The state version of the USDA. We have a great guy that we have been working with for quite a few years, beginning long before the first tree was cleared from the land. For this visit, he may brought along another inspector that will likely take over our inspections should he retire. She had been to our farm a couple of years ago and it was great seeing her again. Both of these great people offer lots of pertinent information to keep us out of trouble. We work together to spot areas where contamination may occur and how we might avoid the situation. New procedures, additional pieces of equipment and altering the work flow are all discussed. We are getting closer and closer to completing this project and becoming a fully inspected USDA facility. At that point we will be ready to start selling our cheese to the local restaurants and wineries. Our dream gets closer every day, every moment.   Final Thoughts That’s about all I’m going to cover in today’s podcast. A brief trip around the homestead with updates on the animals and bringing you up to date on our progress with the creamery. I didn’t talk about the quail. I’m figuring out how to pickle quail eggs and I’ll wait until next time to give details on that. There are five different flavor recipes I’m trying out. Christmas is fast approaching. I hope you are enjoying the season. We don’t celebrate the commercial Christmas. It has been many years since I had a tree or a wreath or lights or anything. Sometimes I think about it but the effort to make it happen does not fit into my schedule. My children are long grown and my youngest grandchild is now 16. How about a nice nativity scene? I can go with making that happen. Family visits mostly happen over Thanksgiving so Scott and I generally celebrate the birth of our Lord with just the two of us. There are a few other family members that we may visit sometime after the 25th. And who knows who might pop in to see us? We shall see. It’s always great to get together with those we love and Christmas provides the time off from work for others making it easy for us to catch them at home and unburdened by work. I do hope to work in a short visit or two between now and New Years Day. Once again, I want to thank you all for listening to me ramble on about our traditional raw milk cheese and traditional homestead living and I hope all your dreams come true as well.

On episode 9, Melissa takes you with her to San Francisco, California where she goes for a hike inside the city with West Coast hiking guide and kindred spirit, Alexandra Kenin, founder of Urban Hiker SF, an urban hiking tour company and author of two incredible guidebooks, Urban Trails San Francisco and Urban Trails East Bay. Since 2012, Alexandra has been helping visitors and locals alike explore the stairways, hills and hiking trails of beautiful San Francisco. Melissa caught up with Alexandra at a coffee shop in the Glen Park neighborhood of San Francisco and from there they went on a hike up Glen Canyon Park, over Twin Peaks and down to the Mission. You’ll hear them ooh and ahh over some iconic and inspiring views and when Melissa’s not gasping for air on the uphills, you’ll learn all about some San Francisco history, find out what led Alexandra to her love of hiking, what it takes to write a guide book, and what it’s like to be a tour guide. If you like learning about how others are pursuing their passions, if you’re a fan of San Fran or even if you’d like to just visit there one day, then you’ll love this episode. Whether you live on the east coast, the west, or somewhere in between, hyper-local hiking is where it’s at right now! As travel restrictions remain in effect across many regions of the world due to the omnipresence of Coronavirus, take some tips from Alexandra and go for a hike right in your own city! But the next time you find yourself in San Francisco, I cannot recommend going on a hike with Alexandra and Urban Hiker SF enough! In the interim, I encourage you to live vicariously through her Instagram feed @urbanhikersf, which is full of cityscapes, secret stairway views, and beautiful California wildflowers.

The Surah has 44 verses in 2 sections.  It talks about the ways of the ascent of the Believers.  The rise of truth will be gradual, but it is sure.

Website: www.lornabyrne.com Lorna Byrne was born in in Dublin, Ireland, to a poor family. As she writes in her best-selling autobiography, Angels in My Hair,  “From the time I was an infant and opened my eyes, I saw angels”.  Her infatuation with the nonmaterial led to young Lorna being diagnosed as “retarded”.  The Angels told her not to speak to anyone else about what she saw, but, that someday,  Lorna would write a book about them.   After the death of her husband Joe and their four children reached adulthood, Lorna broke her silence and published her book Angels in my Hair,  in 2008.   The book became an international bestseller –  translated into twenty-six different languages in over 50 countries. Lorna Byrne's next two books, Stairways to Heaven and A Message of Hope from the Angels have also reached bestseller lists. Her message is both beautiful and uplifting.  Reading her books and talking to her really puts us in awe of the assistance that angels can bring to every little bit of our lives… If we only remember to ask. Lorna's vision, which has been passed to her by God and the angels, is to transform the world into a more loving place.  One vision that she promotes is that all the religions in the world, and even those who do not identify as religious, should come under one umbrella to pray for Peace. Lorna's audiences are all over Europe and the USA.  This year, she travels to Hong Kong and Taiwan.  She founded the Lorna Byrne Children's Foundation to help a number of charities who work tirelessly to help children who are suffering due to war, devastation, poverty or illness. I spoke to Lorna just a few days before she was to leave her small village in Ireland to travel to Ethiopia and promote the work of A Partnership with Africa.

Name The Surah takes its name from the word dhil Ma'arij in verse 3. Period of Revelation The subject matter bears evidence that this Surah too was sent down in conditions closely resembling those under which Surah Al Haaqqah was sent down. Theme and Subject Matter It admonishes and gives warning to the disbelievers who made fun of the news about Resurrection and the Hereafter, and Hell and Heaven, and challenged the Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace) to cause Resurrection with which he threatened them to take place if what he said was true and they had become worthy of the punishment in Hell by denying it. The whole Surah is meant to answer this denial. The Surah opens with words to the effect:"A demander has demanded a torment, the torment which must befall the deniers; and when it takes place, there will be none to prevent it, but it will take place at its own appointed time. Allah has His own way of doing things, but He is not unjust. Therefore, have patience, O Prophet, at what they say. They think it is far off, but We see it as near at hand." Then it is said:"Resurrection, which they desire to be hastened out of jest and fun, is terrible, and when it comes, it will cause great distress to the culprits. At that time they will even be prepared to give away their wives and children and their nearest kinsfolk in ransom to escape the punishment, but they will not be able to escape it. Then the people have been warned to the effect; "On that Day the destinies of men will be decided strictly on the basis of their belief and their conduct. Those who turn away from the Truth in the world and amass wealth and withhold it from the needy, will be doomed to Hell; and those who fear the punishment of God here, believe in the Hereafter, keep up the Prayer, discharge the rights of the needy out of their wealth, strictly avoid immoral and wicked deeds, practice honesty in all their dealings, fulfill their pledges and trust and bear true witness, will have a place of honor in Paradise" In conclusion, the disbelievers of Makkah who rushed in upon the Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace) from every side as soon as they saw him, in order to make fun of him, have been warned to the effect: "If you do not believe, Allah will replace you by other people who will be better than you", and the Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace) has been consoled, so as to say: "Do not take to heart their mockery and jesting; leave them to indulge in their idle talk and foolish conduct if they are bent upon experiencing the disgrace and humiliation of the Resurrection; they will themselves see their evil end."'

Jacob in his dream saw a ladder/stairway, on the ladder where angels going up and down. God was at the top of the ladder and he spoke a blessing and encouragement on Jacob. Spiritual progress for us here on earth is usually in “steps” as well. The angels on the ladder didn’t make great leaps from earth to heaven. Instead they made a bunch of smaller steps… steps that led them up and down the ladder. “When they knew God.” Everyone of us has a start... The post Spiritual Stairways appeared first on Bethel Mennonite Church.

As part of the Church, we bring the Kingdom of Heaven wherever we gather, go and give…even when we fail to notice it “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. - ‭Matthew 5:13-16
