Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 31ú lá de mí Eanair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1984 fuair Luke Kelly ó The Dubliners bás I mBaile Átha Cliath in ospidéal ag aois 43. Bhí sé san ospidéal le meall san inchinn. I 1991 chiontaigh fear I mBaile Átha Cliath nuair a ghoid sé níos mó ná 200 punt de chalóga arbhair. Dúirt sé nár rinne sé é agus dúirt sé gur chuir duine an gránach ina veain. I 2009 cháineadh an Late Late Show ó Mick Egan de bharr gur d'fhág siad amach John Doyle ón chlár. Bhí an clár mar gheall ar 125 bhliain den GAA. Dúirt Mick Egan gur bhuaigh John Doyle Craobh na hÉireann ocht n-uair agus ag an deireadh níor chuir siad cuireadh dó chun labhairt ar an chlár. I 2013 tháinig Alan Shatter amach ag rá go mbeadh 5 stáisiún na nGardaí chun dúnadh timpeall an tír. Dúirt siad go bheidís ag sábháil níos mó ná 4 mhíle euro gach bliain de bharr.

Go dtí sin bhí Queen le Bohemnia Rhapsody ar barr do 9 seachtain. I 2010 bhí na Grammy Awards ar siúil in LA ag an Staples Centre. Ar an oíche bhuaigh Taylor Swift Albam den bhliain lena albam Fearless. Ag an am bhí sí an t-amhránaí is óige chun an gradam sin a bhuachaint. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Gemma Collins sa Bhreatain I 1981 agus rugadh amhránaí Justin Timberlake I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1981 agus seo chuid de a amhrán.

In this episode we welcome acclaimed critic, author and professor Evelyn McDonnell and invite her to discuss her new Joan Didion book, along with the Motels, Britney Spears and California's pop history in general. Evelyn talks about her early L.A. memories and childhood move to Wisconsin before we hear how she progressed from her college paper in Providence, RI, to becoming the pop critic for the Miami Herald. We also note books such as her Runaways biography Queens of Noise, a suitable jumping-off point for a long conversation about her fellow Californian, Didion. Mark and Martin reminisce about the impact of Didion's extraordinary essay collections Slouching towards Bethlehem and The White Album, after which we follow her career through to the bestselling Year of Magical Thinking. The L.A. theme continues as we hear two clips from Steve Roeser's 2001 audio interview with Motels singer Martha Davis, putting that band into historical context with discussion of the pre-punk D.I.Y. "Radio Free Hollywood" shows in 1976. From there we fast-forward to the very different "L.A. Woman" that was and is Britney Spears, which in turn prompts our guest to give her very pertinent take on the [Jann] "Wennergate" debacle of the past month. At a significant remove from all this Hollywood Babylonia was avant-jazz giant Carla Bley, whose death we mark in a conversation about 1971's extraordinary Escalator Over The Hill. Finally, Mark mentions pieces he's recently added to the RBP library, including interviews with Laurie Anderson and the Byrds' Roger McGuinn, and Jasper rounds the episode off with remarks on pieces about Herbie Hancock and Steve Goodman's Hyperdub label.  Many thanks to special guest Evelyn McDonnell. The World According to Joan Didion is published by HarperOne and available now. Pieces discussed: Hollywood Swinging: Joan Didion in '60s L.A., The Runaways, The Motels' Martha Davis audio, Britney Spears at Staples Centre, Britney Spears interviewed by Steven Daly, Carla Bley interviewed by Brian Case, Carla Bley at Queen Elizabeth Hall, Dwight Twilley Band, Dwight Twilley: Magical Mystery Man, Queen Latifah/DJ Mark the 45 King, The Byrds, Laurie Anderson, Steve Goodman & Hyperdub and Herbie Hancock.

Cryptocurrency & FinancialMarkets News & Stats22nd Nov 2021Today I talk about the following:1. Our Portfolios performances2. ConstitutionDAO had raised over $45 million for the auction, but was unable to compete against Griffin's final bid due to hidden expenses such as Sotheby's auction fee of 13.9% and the costs to preserve and transport the historic document. This caused confusion and frustration, as some felt the DAO had not been transparent enough with its contributors and closed fundraising too early. Now that the auction is over, ConstitutionDAO is fracturing. Some members are demanding refunds while others are urging the DAO to pursue a new project with all that capital. Since it began, ConstitutionDAO has maintained that if it lost the auction, all contributors would be refunded. What many donors new to the Ethereum ecosystem didn't realize, however, was that the network's high gas fees meant no one would see their full donation amount returned.3. A California man who in February agreed to plead guilty to felony charges of money laundering and operating a crypto exchange without proper licensure has been sentenced to three years in federal prison, according to a release from the U.S. Department of Justice4.Quidd, a marketplace for digital collectibles and a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, has raised a total of $5 million in private pre-sales and an initial DEX offering (IDO).

Cryptocurrency & FinancialMarkets News & Stats22nd Nov 2021Today I talk about the following:1. Our Portfolios performances2. ConstitutionDAO had raised over $45 million for the auction, but was unable to compete against Griffin's final bid due to hidden expenses such as Sotheby's auction fee of 13.9% and the costs to preserve and transport the historic document. This caused confusion and frustration, as some felt the DAO had not been transparent enough with its contributors and closed fundraising too early. Now that the auction is over, ConstitutionDAO is fracturing. Some members are demanding refunds while others are urging the DAO to pursue a new project with all that capital. Since it began, ConstitutionDAO has maintained that if it lost the auction, all contributors would be refunded. What many donors new to the Ethereum ecosystem didn't realize, however, was that the network's high gas fees meant no one would see their full donation amount returned.3. A California man who in February agreed to plead guilty to felony charges of money laundering and operating a crypto exchange without proper licensure has been sentenced to three years in federal prison, according to a release from the U.S. Department of Justice4.Quidd, a marketplace for digital collectibles and a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, has raised a total of $5 million in private pre-sales and an initial DEX offering (IDO).

CRO went live in late 2018. The coin forms the basis for Crypto.com's financial services, including its cryptocurrency exchange, payments app and Visa credit card. Holders of CRO can stake their coins to act as validators on the blockchain and earn fees for processing network transactions. They can use CRO to settle transaction fees and earn cashback through the payments app and credit card. The price of CRO has been rising since the end of October, ahead of the launch on 8 November of the mainnet of Cronos, its Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible network for decentralised finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and the metaverse.The Cronos network runs alongside the Crypto.com blockchain and, according to the Cronos blog, “aims to massively scale the DeFi and decentralised application ecosystem, by providing developers with the ability to instantly port apps from Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains.“With low cost, high throughput, fast finality, and built-in interoperability, Cronos is poised to bring decentralised applications to the 10M+ user base of the Crypto.com ecosystem and beyond.”Cronos uses the Cosmos software development kit (SDK) to build in interoperability and bridging to the Crypto.org blockchain and other chains with Inter-Blockchain Communications (IBC) enabled.Network fees for on-chain transactions are paid with CRO, the platform's native token. The growth of the Cronos ecosystem will increase the use of the token beyond the Crypto.org blockchain and Crypto.com applications.Users can bridge certain coins from the Crypto.com app and exchange by selecting the Cronos network when depositing and withdrawing coins, and from the Crypto.org chain to Cronos via the IBC channel.

Today we are joined by WNBA Champion, Sixth Woman of the Year, and WNBA All-Star Jantel Lavender, one of the newest members of the Indiana Fever. Entering her 10th year in the WNBA, we talk about the disparities between the NBA and WNBA and her role as a leader and a voice in inspiring other young girls to be their true selves. With more and more networks airing WNBA games, fans will have unprecedented access to watch the women play and our podcast today continues to raise the profile of the League and the elite athletes who have changed the way the game is played.  With the start of the WNBA season, Jantel shares her thoughts on how the League has used its platform to raise the profile of social justice issues, in particular, the Black Lives Matter movement, how breaking her foot impacted her career in exceptional ways, and what she’s most looking forward to, playing for her new team. We talk about what it was like to play for the LA Sparks and Magic Johnson at the Staples Centre, winning it all in the 2016 championship series. Jantel tells us about the constant grind to stay at the top and in the game, the pressure around body image, and her message to other women who face similar challenges - celebrate yourself!

Today I speak to Nathan Kosky who is the Vice President of Global Partnerships at AEG - no not the appliance firm but the global firm Anschutz Entertainment Group that owns the likes of the O2, Staples Centre, the LA Galaxy and Coachella amongst other famous venues and iconic festivals.  Nathan started in media sales before being recruited by AEG to help then develop the O2 Arena. He had a stint away to be the commercial director at Coventry City Football Club before returning to AEG to find a company that had substantially grown during his time away. Nathan discusses how deals get done at such a huge level and offers insight into the scale of the thinking behind these partnerships.  Finally, Nathan has recently launched a cricket podcast called Middle Please Umpire with Mark Wood & Miles Jupp and although it's only a few episodes in, it's had some really promising early numbers and I think he has a hit on his hands.  Nathan recommends the following books Fibber in the heat by Miles Jupp. Seavens Heaven by Ben Ryan An Astronauts Guide to Life on Earth - by Chris Hadfield. Nathan is challenging himself in 2021 to match his behaviours with his goals - he is reviewing every decision with his values in mind.  You can find Nathan on LinkedIn @Nathan Kosky - you can find Middle Please Umpire on iTunes & Spotify and on Instagram @middlepleaseumpire  AEGcan be found - www.aegworldwide.com As always please do leave us a rating or review on iTunes.

Het treffen tussen de twee, in het Staples Centre in Los Angeles heeft alle kenmerken van een veredeld, overhyped demonstratiegevecht. Geen jury, een onmiddellijk einde aan de partij in het geval van een snee, geen knock-outs én geen winnaar op het eind. Heel veel heeft het dus niet te maken met boksen.

"Ik presenteer esports-shows van League of Legends, een online game. Dat zijn shows rond mensen die professioneel games spelen in een competitie en daarmee veel geld en prijzen verdienen. Je kan het een beetje vergelijken met een voetbalcompetitie maar dan voor gamers." Eefje Depoortere heeft deze uitleg al honderden keren gegeven. Met meer dan 450.000 volgers op Instagram is ze één van de bekendste Belgen die niemand kent buiten de virtuele wereld. Maar het is een online sportwereld die almaar groter wordt. "Ik heb altijd graag naar sport gekeken en voor mij is gamen hetzelfde. Ik kan met evenveel passie kijken naar een goeie League of Legendsmatch als naar eender welke andere sportwedstrijd. Maar dat is niet altijd evident om dat aan andere mensen duidelijk te maken." Ook haar eigen moeder was in het begin heel sceptisch over haar carrière in de wereld van de online games. "Ik was al een jaar aan het werk, was verhuisd naar Duitsland en had al in de krant gestaan toen mijn moeder eindelijk besefte: "Eefje, het is dus wel echt..." "Ik ben de constante factor, ik ben er al 10 jaar bij" Met miljoenen spelers over de hele wereld en een kijkersmarkt van om en bij het half miljard is League of Legends een gigant in de wereld van de esports maar toch zijn er nog altijd mensen die het fenomeen bagatelliseren. "As iemand beweert dat het allemaal 'niet zo groot', of 'niet zo belangrijk is dan laat ik altijd foto's zien van waar ik al gestaan heb. Madison Square Garden in New York, Staples Centre in Los Angeles, het Vogelnest in Peking, Zuid-Korea, Japan...overal ter wereld." "Voor mij maakt dat op zich niet zoveel uit. Of het nu heel groot is of in een televisiestudio, het is een job die ik graag doe. Ik heb het geluk gehad dat ik er van in het begin bij was en als één van de enige vrouwen in deze wereld. Ik ben meegesurft op deze golf die altijd maar groter wordt." Over haar sterrenstatus in LoL blijft ze bescheiden. "Ik ben gewoon de constante. Ik ben er al 10 jaar bij, ook wanneer er iets groots gebeurt. Als er een wereldkampioen gekroond wordt, wanneer de underdog wint, wanneer er emotionele momenten zijn...Mensen associeren mij met deze momenten en ik vind dat ik het toch niet zo slecht gedaan heb op die momenten." (lacht) Esports op de Olympische Spelen? Op de vraag of esports ooit de traditionele sporten zal evenaren antwoordt Eefje Depoortere volmondig ja. "Het is al zo! Maar ik vind niet dat we het moeten categoriseren als 'naast' of 'beter' dan andere sporten. Het is gewoon iets anders." "Er wordt altijd gezegd dat wanneer esports op de Olympische Spelen zouden staan er eindelijk waardering zou zijn, maar dat vind ik eigenlijk onzin. Als je naar een esports-evenement komt en het aantal toeschouwers, de show, de kijkcijfers, de sponsoren, het prijzengeld enzovoort ziet, dan moet je toch niet meer overtuigd worden?" Het enige waarvoor het wel goed zou zijn, is het wettelijk kader waarin de esports momenteel nog zitten verbeteren. "Voor visa, belastingstatuten, sponsordeals en al die 'serieuze' dingen kan het wel helpen maar het idee van: "Als het daar is, is het pas belangrijk, dat is bullshit."

Subscribe (iTunes)Subscribe (Stitcher) Built to Play explores new Nintendo games, the tricky world of Dota 2 and why we keep seeing the words "You Died" when we close our eyes. Daniel and Arman visited Nintendo of Canada to play upcoming titles like Mario Maker, Bayonetta 2 and Yoshi's Wooly World. But when it comes to Super Smash Bros. the two land on a bit of a competitive streak. Take a listen to hear more about the relative nudity of Pokemon, Toad's Batman voice, and genius robot design. If you want more in-depth coverage of these Nintendo games check out Daniel's write up from a few weeks back.  You can hear us squabble over whether Bayonetta 2 is better than Smash Bros and if Goku is the greatest fighter of all time starting 1:06. Daniel finishes his masterpiece in Mario Maker, the Mario platformer level designer coming to the Wii U. Mobile online battle arena games like League of Legends are easily the most popular games on the planet, so we decided take a look into the fast-growing esport. Also known as MOBAs, games like League of Legends and Dota 2 are becoming a force in esports. The fourth annual Dota 2 championships back in July crowd-funded a $10.6 million prize pool, a bigger prize than the Super Bowl. Twenty million people watched the tournament, with as many as two million watching at the same time. League of Legends is still the most popular game in the genre, filling the Staples Centre in Los Angeles during its last tournament, but Dota 2 outranks it for the sheer amount of money on the table. So it should be of no surprise that people are trying to start businesses around the two games. In Toronto you could find viewing parties at bars or in movie theatres. Shane Perron ofeSport Gaming Events hosted a viewing party  of the Dota 2 championships in one of the city's oldest theatres, the Regent. Entry was $15 for a full day of sports spectating. They host events like this for a lot of different games, including League, Dota and once upon a time Starcraft 2. According to Shane, viewing parties are a great alternative to building their own tournaments since they're expensive and take a lot of preparation. The International, Dota 2's world championships, viewing party held at the Regent. Courtesy eSports Gaming Events There's just two big problems. Many video game players don't like paying to watch an event they could watch on their laptops, and on top of that, MOBAs are complicated. They're daunting to approach, and the rules are arcane. It's hard to describe a given match of Dota to someone who's never played it. Our best attempt is a single character strategy game played with a team, like a chess team in a forest. That doesn't get into the grit of how the dozens of characters work, however, and their unique roles in these games. Shane says that hosting events like this can be sustainable, though it will take time. Hear him describe the viewing party they hosted at the Regent, why he's spent more than a 100 hours in Dota 2 and the challenges facing eSports Gaming Events starting 36:00. Meanwhile, a game's sounds can hang around long after we finish playing, according to a new study from Nottingham Trent University. Courtesy Cebula Means Onion Many players have made the mistake of playing games for too long. Say by accident you stayed up all night to beat a boss in Dark Souls, and wound up seeing the words "You Died" and hearing that evaporation sound over and over again. That's never happened to Daniel or Arman, considering they're absolute masters of that game, but for hypothetical sakes, let's all imagine. You turn off the game, head to bed, and right as you close your eyes, you hear the sound of your soul leaving your body.  This strange phenomenon of lingering game sounds has been studied by the International Gaming Unit at Nottingham Trent University. Everything from the bloop of a portal opening to the ding when you collect a coins can hang around after gameplay, usually after a considerably long playtime. Sometimes it's music. Sometimes it's bullets. It's hard to say what triggers these sounds but they can seem like they're coming from outside of the body, reasonably freaking some people out. Even more bizarre is that it's not just audio. Visuals can stick around as well, not to mention behaviours based on game logic. It's all part of a group of effects known as game transfer phenomena or GTP. Angelica Ortiz de Gortari is a psychologist and doctoral researcher studying GTP, who explains the sheer variety of lingering noises, images and behaviours.  You can hear her describe her own experience with GTP, why the effects are mostly harmless, and why regardless it's important to study starting 47:00. We used a ton of music this week from the Free Music Archive, so to everyone on this list, thanks for providing your music in creative commons. In our Nintendo segment, we used "Blanks," "Moondots and Polkabeams," and "Hundy Mil Tight" by Podington Bear. "Night Owl" by Broke for Free is our opening theme. "Hallon" by Christian Bjoerklund, "eeeoooww" by junior85, "Nana Veloz" by Crisopa, and "Sun Bum" by Monster Rally all play during our interviews.

Episode 31Michael Jackson's MemorialMJ INTRO CLIP SONGSThis episode, I'll mention the memorial to Michael Jackson that happened early this morning New Zealand time. I'll play plenty of emotional songs, interspersed with clips from the memorial service. The intro clips were, in order, I Want You Back, I'll Be There,Aint No Sunshine,Rockin Robin,Little Bitty Pretty One,Who's Lovin' You,My GirlThis is part of an unreleased song, For All Time, it was included on Thriller 25.Today there was a public memorial, it was held in the Staples Centre in Los Angeles, 17 and a half thousand tickets were given out to lucky Michael Jackson fans to attend. A private Jackson family service was held beforehand, and then Michaels closed casket was unexpectedly taken to the Memorial, it was just in front of the stage for the event. Many famous celebrities took to the stage and talked about how much Michael Jackson meant to them, some performed his songs. Notable people included Mariah Carey, Magic Johnson, Koby Bryant, Usher, Al Sharpton, Brooke Shields, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, Smokey Robinson and John Mayer.This is from today Memorial, Stevie Wonder talks about Michael, and mentions a song he wrote for him that was included in the Off The Wall album, I play a clip from the song.Heres an early demo clip of Michael with his brothers, working on a Jacksons song together, notice the fighting at the end, in lots of the demo clips, recorded at the Jackson Family studio, you can hear the siblings argue. See how long it takes you to recognise the song.Ok, so thats not really fighting, but on some of the demo tracks, you can hear the jacksons yell at each other, normally Michael will be saying to turn something up or down, and one of the brothers will say something like "do it yourself", and Janet will take Michaels side. Often when musicians die, fans go through their music and find odd back masked messages, or hints about the singers death. When I heard about Michael going into Cardiac Arrest, and that he had been injected with a drug shortly before, I thought of his song Morphine, from the album Blood On The Dancefloor. They lyrics are all about Michael and his drug addictions to painkillers, Elton John was thanked as helping him off the drugs.The lyrics to Morphine are kind of scary to listen to now, He got flat babyKick in the back babyA heart attack babyOh God he's taking demerolI'll play some of the song Its kind of odd, he named a drug he was addicted to, and mentions a heart attack a decade or so before he pretty much dies from exactly that.This is one of my favourite sad songs, Someone In The Dark, it was included in the E.T soundtrack and storybook Michael recorded. Michael Jackson said of all the awards he had gotten, he was most proud of the 1984 Best Recording for Children grammy for this song.Smokey Robinson, a famous Motown artist who wrote songs for other singers, had some fond memories of Michael, he appeared at the Memorial.This next song is a Michael Jackson Tribute song, called Better On The Other Side, with Puff Daddy, The Game, Chris Brown, Boys II Men and others. It came out the day Michael died. Al Sharpton had very nice things to say about Michael today at the memorial, he got lots of applause for his message to Michaels kids, its a great quote.A song that came up at the public service was We Are The World.Almost through this episode now, I'm trying to keep this episode relatively short. Michaels brother Marlon spoke at the service today, Marlon had a stillborn identical twin brother, Brandon Jackson, who gets mentioned by Marlon at the memorial to Michael. Very touching.I'd like to play my second last song, before a clip from one of Michaels children, its very rare for one of his three children to be seen in public, he hid them away from the paparazzi.Michaels daughter, Paris Jackson was onstage with the other celebrities near the end of the public service, with Janet Jackson and other family members beside her, when she spoke, it reminded me of Steve Irwins daughter talking at her fathers public service. It breaks my heart to hear Paris Jackson talk, for the first time in public. That was janet giving her advice at the start.So far, Michael hasnt been buried, theres talk the family would like to have him buried at Neverland Ranch, possibly near the train station he used everyday to go from his house to the small zoo he had near the back of his property. Its an interesting idea, having Neverland Zoo as a Graceland type tourist attraction, I'd certainly like to visit sometime. Whatever happens to Michaels body from now on, his public memorial was very successful. I'd like to thank you very much for joining me, with episode 31 of Jay Wont dart's podcast. My outro is one last sad song. If you want to contact me, even just to say you listened, send an email to jaywontdart@gmail.com, j a y w o n t d a r t @ gmail.com, I'd appreciate it.Even though Michael Jackson has died, I know his music will live on in me personally, and his millions of other fans worldwide. Im trying not to be sad, and instead be thankful that I was lucky enough to be alive at the same time he was, and to have his music to listen to for decades to come.Have a super happy day, bye.
