Todd's guests: Stephen Boyd from Washington w/ a Congressional update @ABCofAlabama President Jay Reed @AlabamaTrucking President Mark Colson
Send us a Text Message. Slam the Gavel welcomes back Founder of the Gabriella Boyd Memorial Foundation, Stephen Boyd to the podcast. He was last on the podcast Season 5, Episode 72. Stephen Boyd gave updates on how his Civil Suit had gotten dismissed by Westchester, NY, Judge James Hubert. This was a slam dunk as the Civil Suit should not have been dismissed due to several issues, one, over a warrant issue and enforcing a court order. It is questionable if the judge even read the Civil Suit. Now his case is at the Second Department Appellate Division from 2/2021 to 5/2024. Now, it's a wait and see game with a very well written Summary Complaint. Justice delayed is Justice denied. The Gabriella Boyd Memorial Foundation has a mission to help educate and assist those who have struggled to have a voice in custody situations. We want to be able to help those who are struggling, just like Stephen did, to have a chance to better understand their rights and the family court system. This foundation has the help of local law enforcement, social workers, family lawyers, and community activists for parents who want to be present in their children's lives, but are struggling to find the necessary steps and their voice in the process. There will be Informational seminars held quarterly to provide help to those who would like to join us. We are also involved with other foundations who also have the same goal of promoting equality in family law in order to focus on the well-being of our children. There will be a rally for Family Court Reform next Friday, May 24th from 10:15-12:00 and will take place at 31 Collegeview Avenue infant of Brook, Brady and Schopfer law firm. All Stephen asks is that judges do their job at the taxpayer's expense and look over their presented document and do the right thing.

Slam the Gavel welcomes Stephen Boyd to the podcast. Stephen is the Founder of The Gabriella Boyd Memorial Foundation that was created on April 28, 2018, after the tragic and devastating loss of two and a half year old, Gabriella. Shortly after, her father, Stephen Boyd, began this Non-Profit organization in order to not only honor his little girl but also to help those who are struggling through Family Court to have a voice and be heard. After reluctantly entering into his first “Parenting Agreement” in 2016, that was ordered by a judge in Westchester County, Stephen had been fighting for physical custody of his daughter. Like many of us, he was no familiar with the details and aspects of Family Court Law, Child Support, and Parental Rights pertaining to his situation and the situation of so many others. This process had been very difficult, time consuming, and costly for Stephen. However, the love that he has for his little girl was far greater, and he took all the necessary steps to educate himself and properly build a case. For two and a half years, he had built a case against the mother of his daughter with evidence, which he hoped to show that he ultimately deserved custody of Gabriella. On Friday April 27, 2018, Stephen Boyd went to Village of Mamaroneck Police Department with the court order he had been fighting so long for. Although Judge Hal B. Greenwald had signed off on Stephen Boyd getting physical custody of his daughter that day, after a series of events that are still currently under investigation, unfortunately that court order was never executed. This case now sits in the Court of Appeals, 2nd Department, Appellate Division. On Saturday, April 28, 2018, around 1:30 PM, The Village of Mamaroneck Police Department received a call that resulted in police finding Gabriella D.O.A while in the care of her mother. Despite the efforts of the first responders to try to revive and resuscitate her, it was too late. Gabriella Boyd was pronounced dead.

In addition, this foundation will not only donate but focus on assisting causes near and dear to Gabriella; including but not limited to her daycare MCNS, Speech Pathology, Humane Society of Westchester, and more. Gabriella's memory will live on through our efforts and your support.To Reach Stephen Boyd: gbmf26@gmail.com, 914-813-8387 Could you please sign and share the petition: https://www.change.org/p/remove-judge-elizabeth-kelly-from-the-bench-permanentlyThis episode of Slam the Gavel is sponsored by CPSprotect Consulting Services.

Stephen Boyd, Professor of Religion and Public Engagement at Wake Forest, specializes in the history of Christianity and Christian thought, gender studies, and religion and public life. He's authored multiple books on masculinity and what it means to be a man, and today we'll be digging into his best-selling Christian book, The Men We Long To Be. In this book, Stephen argues that our patriarchal system socializes and conditions our men to become, what he calls, lonely warriors and desperate lovers.

This week is the 2nd half of our Crypto, shmipto, bipto episode. This episode is about NFTs and how to make them, sell them, and become obsessed. Are NFTs the new answer to financial stability as an artist? Do you trust yourself with a digital wallet? And can your automatic password be actually a foreboding sign to: STOP AND WALK AWAY! Sabra and Stephen Boyd share their own digital creation, video game worlds, and how they are navigating the arbitrary value of an NFT.

Hoy recordaremos al actor Espartaco Garibaldi Borga Santoni, más conocido de cintura pa bajo que de cintura pa’rriba. El pequeño Espartaco nació el 14 de junio de 1937 en un pequeño pueblo costero de Venezuela que tiene nombre de ácaro que si lo ves por el microscopio está lleno de mollitas (Carúpano). De padre italiano, siendo muy joven se fue a recorrer el mundo porque tenía pasaporte europeo, que con el venezolano no le dejaban entrar ni en el cine. A los 17 años se casó con María de los Ángeles Seijo con quien tuvo dos hijos, pese a que el matrimonio duró poquito, porque si llega a durar un par de meses más tienen que poner a Mari Ángeles como a la Pilarica, en alto y con una barandilla. Tres años más tarde, en 1957, cuando tenía 20 años y tó la cara de Cantinflas, conoció a Marujita Díaz con la que se casó al año siguiente. Marujita fue quien lo introdujo en el cine español y con quien montó su primera productora en la que todas las películas tenían como protagonista a Marujita Díaz. La productora duró menos que UPyD. Espartaco se instaló en España y, además de productor, probó a ser distribuidor cinematográfico y hostelero. Fracasó con todo pero él siempre levantaba…cabeza. Tras cuatro años de matrimonio, Espartaco se divorcia de Marujita y conoce a la actriz venezolana Tere Velázquez, con la que se casaría al año siguiente, en 1963. Con ella tuvo otros dos hijos, Espartaco y Paola Santoni. El matrimonio se rompió en 1974 porque ya no tenían pared pa colgar tantos cuernos. Un año después, Espartaco, que le duraba la pena de los divorcios el tiempo de arreglarse el bigote, conoció a Carmen Cervera, a.k.a. Tita Cervera, con quien se casó en Nueva York en 1975. Este matrimonio no duró porque en 1976 a Espartaco lo metieron en Carabanchel por presunta estafa y falsedad de documentos 35 días, como de desintoxicación pa que no lo hiciera más. Tita acusó a Espartaco de bigamia y consideró nulo su matrimonio, porque la bigamia está fea y porque conoció al baron Thyssen con quien tenía que casarse antes de que la entendiera hablando. Dos años después, Espartaco regresó a Venezuela donde se casó con Naty de las Casas, la baronesa Thyssen de ellos. A principios de los 90 y después de un largo silencio, volvió a Marbella donde escribió un libro contando los recuerdos picantones con sus antiguas parejas, porque además de todas sus esposas, Santoni retozó con mujeres como Bárbara Rey, la princesa Carolina de Mónaco, Roman Polanski, Massiel, la chica Bond, Úrsula Andress, o Marisa Mell. En el 1996 se casó por última vez con Eva Medina, 30 años más joven que él, porque sus padres tenían un chalet en Marbella. El motivo de ella todavía lo está estudiando Ignacio Blanco. Filmó más de 15 películas, compartiendo escenas con Stephen Boyd o Lucía Bosé. Entre todas no suman un 2,4 en Filmaffinity. Desgraciadamente, nuestro playboy latino, fallecía a los 61 años en Marbella por un doló, aunque ustedes siempre podrán recordarlo cuando salga la Pilarica en la tele o alguien le cuente un recuerdo picantón.
Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British movies ...with just a hint of professionalism. In the latest episode, Scott is joined by Tony to discuss the movie that recalls one of the most incredible incidents that occurred in World War Two. The story of Operation Mincemeat and The Man Who Never Was from 1956. As the British military prepares to invade Sicily during World War II, intelligence agent Ewen Montagu (Clifton Webb) hatches a cunning plan to fool Germany into believing the Allies' true target is Greece. Concocting a fictitious British officer named Maj. William Martin, Montagu gathers false top-secret documents and personal letters to plant upon a corpse that will wash ashore in Spain. But the investigations of a German undercover agent (Stephen Boyd) could potentially expose the fraud.

Topics: Black Power Movement, Muhammad Ali, Angela Davis, James Brown, Sidney Poitier, and Flip Wilson. (Bonus Artists: hidingtobefound & Luck Pacheco) 1970 Snapshots MLK birthday celebrated in many states Toni Morrison’s 1st novel, “The Bluest Eye” Black Enterprise and Essence start Jimi Hendricks dies Cheryl Adrienne Brown (Miss Iowa) 1st black to compete in Miss America Social/Political Key Development: Part 1: Black Power Movement The Black Power Movement focused on racial pride, self-sufficiency, and equality for all people of Black and African descent. It was led by a generation of black activists who had participated the Civil Rights movement. By the mid-1960s, a split developed among those activists and many no longer saw nonviolent protests as a viable way of combatting racism. Major turning point: The Watts riots, a 5 day "War" in 1965, that took place in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles. Dead: 34 / Injured: 1,032 New organizations (the Black Panther Party, the Black Women’s United Front, the Nation of Islam, and others) developed new cultural, political, and economic programs. Desegregation was insufficient. Deconstruction of the white power structures was the new focus. Because they wanted space for black political voices, collective black power, and social autonomy, the movement was often viewed as violent, anti-white, and anti-law enforcement. Key events: the 1965 assassination of Malcom X, and the 1968 assassination of MLK. Major accomplishment: raising the collective level of consciousness, pride, and interest in education. By the mid-1970s, the movement was in decline due to government repression, intragroup squabbles, and further assassinations. Also, police raids, arrests, and harassment. By 1973 African-American activists had begun to concentrate on getting blacks and progressive whites elected to public office. By 1976, the traditional movement was effectually dead. Legacy: Some have compared the modern movement Black Lives Matter to the Black Power movement noting a January 2015 community panel, hosted by the Garfield H.S. – B.S.U. (Seattle) titled: Black Power to Black Lives Matter, connecting the current youth-led struggle of BLACK LIVES MATTER to the Black Power movement of the 1960s-1970s. Part 2: Conclusion The Black Power movement not only represented a change in tactical strategy, but also a change in the mind-set of African-Americans. For instance, the black music industry, with its roots in gospel and rhythm and blues became more nationalist. Songs like the Impressions’ “We’re a Winner” (1967), James Brown’s “Say It Loud, I’m Black and I’m Proud” (1968), and the Temptations’ “Message to a Black Man” (1969) helped establish a distinctive sound for a generation of politically conscious young black Americans. Some blacks chose to don African garb and adopt African names. The slogans “Power to the People” and “Black is Beautiful” became very popular. The movement’s style and fashion (military berets, leather gloves and hats, bright powder-blue shirts, and Afro hairstyles were also symbolically important. The impact of this imagery was immediate and resonated across the United States as well as throughout the world. Part 3: Important figures Nat Turner (d. 1841, American slave) Marcus Garvey (d. 1940, Black Nationalist political advocate) Frantz Fanon (d. 1961, Psychiatrist/Author – “This Wretched Earth: Algerian struggle against colonialism) W.E.B.

Newton (d. 1989, Activist/BPP) Bobby Seale (Activist/BPP) Eldridge Cleaver (d. 1998, Activist/BPP) Part 4. Key Figure: Muhammad Ali (1942-2016, Black America’s Crown Jewel and The Embodiment of the Black Power Movement) Key 1970 event: Licenses reinstated by the New York State boxing commission. Important Woman: Angela Davis (b. 1944, Political activist, academic, and author) She emerged as a prominent counterculture activist in the 1960s working with the Black Panther Party and being highly involved in the Civil Rights Movement. Because of purchasing firearms used in the 1970-armed take-over of a Marin County, California courtroom, in which four persons were killed, she was prosecuted for conspiracy. She was later acquitted of this charge.

During the rally, several masked gunmen jump out of a meat truck and steal $87,000 in donated cash from the back of an armored car. Two Harlem detectives, Gravedigger Jones and "Coffin" Ed Johnson chase the car, and a bale of cotton falls out of the vehicle, unremarked at the time. Uncle Budd, a scavenger, finds the bale of cotton and sells it for $25 to a junk dealer, but later buys it back for $30. There is a reward out for the $87,000, and Gravedigger and Coffin deduce that the money was probably hidden inside of the bale which had fallen out of the getaway vehicle during the chase. After accusing Reverend O’Malley of stealing the money and taking him captive, Detectives Jones and Johnson are able to blackmail Tom, a mob leader, to give them $87,000 - to be restored to the original donors - after discovering that Uncle Budd has run off with the stolen money and emigrated to Ghana, to live in retirement with his ill-gotten gains.

Racial tensions exist in the community, and Price gets little assistance from Little, leaving office, or from Mayor Parks, who insists he be consulted on any decision the new sheriff makes. A white man, John Braddock, is arrested on a manslaughter charge after his drunken driving causes the death of a young girl. Braddock's father carries considerable influence and demands his son be freed. Price's deputy, Bradford Wilkes, is beaten by Little's former deputy, Bengy Springer. Another arrest is made, this time of a black man, George Harley, accused of rape. The townspeople's mood turns uglier by the minute, particularly when Braddock's father threatens to spring his son by force if necessary. Little's conscience gets the better of him. He agrees to become Price's new deputy. Together, they try in vain to persuade other men in town to side with them against Braddock's vigilantes and to convince the mayor to call in the National Guard for help. Alone against the mob, Price and Little form a barricade and prepare for the worst when their fellow townsmen suddenly join them in the street.

Logan Sharpe, a liberal street preacher and political organizer, who insists to Tibbs that he was merely visiting the hooker in a professional capacity, advising her spiritually. Tibbs questions a janitor from the victim's building, Mealie Williamson, and Woody Garfield, who might have been the woman's pimp. Suspicion falls on a man named Rice Weedon, who takes umbrage and is shot by Tibbs in self-defense. Tibbs concludes that Sharpe really must be the culprit.

Today on Gawkerbacker we talked to a couple strangers about how to motivate and strive for success. I also got to think about the Lions ex-linebacker, Stephen Boyd. Oh, what’s the value of a #Kickstarter backer? We talk about that as well. Enjoy!

This episode is a throwback from November 2015, a casual chinwag with Stephen Boyd, the bassist from Audiodriver and the "real" Craig Brown, the lead guitarist, also drops by. Be prepared for some light hearted ironic racism during the Pondering The Proverb segment; not to be taken seriously. I was only having a laugh.
The Hunt for Red October with Lukas Kendall. For eighty episodes and three supplementals, Melodic Treks has explored the world of Star Trek composers and their works outside of the Star Trek franchise. Basil Poledouris is a talented composer, and while he never composed for the franchise, he did appear in roles as an extra for three episode of the original Star Trek. In this episode of Melodic Treks, host Brandon-Shea Mutala is joined by film music historian Lukas Kendall to discuss the score for the film The Hunt for Red October. We also talk about Poledouris' career, why soundtracks used to be so short, the meaning of a "cult film," and how the budget for the scoring of the film was truncated during production and how that affected the score.
