"Charity begins at home butahould not end there." - Thomas Fuller.

The Football Odyssey is back from hiatus, and we're starting things back up with Thomas Fuller, a page one correspondent for the New York Times and author of The Boys of Riverside that chronicles that California School for the Dead Riverside Cubs and their pursuit of a championship. CSDR became a media sensation in 2021 for their dominance in 8-man football, and through Fuller's reporting, we learn about the coaches and the players, as well as insightful commentary about deaf culture.

If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” John 8:12 NLTTo hide the light is to waste the light, and ultimately to choose darkness instead of light.No one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. Luke 8:16 ESV Zeal without knowledge is like fire without light. - Thomas FullerNo one lights a lamp and then hides it or puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where its light can be seen by all who enter the house. Your eye is like a lamp that provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is filled with light. But when it is unhealthy, your body is filled with darkness.

Last November, a parade was held for Riverside's California School for the Deaf's football team who had just won their state championship. The victory was triumphant and an unlikely turn of events for a team that had long been outcasted as the underdogs. In the new book "The Boys of Riverside,” New York Times reporter Thomas Fuller follows the team on their two year journey from hardly ever winning to having an undefeated season. The book takes a closer look at the team's players, their dynamic head coach Keith Adams, and crucial games that brought the team national attention. Joining us today on AirTalk are Thomas Fuller, author of the book "The Boys of Riverside: A Deaf Football Team and a Quest for Glory” and Keith Adams, head coach of the championship winning all-deaf High School football team, the Riverside Cubs from Riverside's California School for the Deaf.

Alguien me dijo: "No he estado tan cerca de Dios como ahora que estoy pasando por esta enfermedad". Thomas Fuller dijo: "La salud no se valora hasta que llega la enfermedad". Tener salud es una bendición que a menudo pasamos por alto. Por lo tanto, es crucial actuar con sabiduría y tomar decisiones adecuadas para el cuidado de nuestro cuerpo, ya que nuestras acciones hoy tendrán efectos duraderos el día de mañana. La enfermedad es un recordatorio de que nuestro cuerpo experimenta un deterioro gradual, ya que cada segundo nuestro cuerpo sufre cambios tanto mínimos como progresivos.La Palabra de Dios enseña que la muerte entró por el pecado. Esto no implica que toda enfermedad sea el resultado de un pecado específico, pero sí que nuestro cuerpo se encamina hacia la muerte mientras nos acercamos al momento de estar para siempre con nuestro Creador.Entonces, ¿Qué debemos hacer si estamos enfermos? Primero, examinar la enfermedad, tanto física como emocionalmente, y buscar el tratamiento adecuado. Segundo, seguir cuidadosamente las indicaciones médicas para mejorar. Tercero, esperar en Dios y confiar en Él cuando los médicos y profesionales no tengan respuestas. Por último, siempre priorizar el cuidado de nuestro cuerpo y esperar con fe en la intervención poderosa de Dios. La Biblia dice en 1 de Corintios 6:19, “19 ¿No se dan cuenta de que su cuerpo es el templo del Espíritu Santo, quien vive en ustedes y les fue dado por Dios? Ustedes no se pertenecen a sí mismos” (NTV).

We all know the phrase: “seeing is believing”. It's a saying that communicates the idea that if we see something with our own eyes we will believe it to exist or be true, no matter how unexpected or unusual it may be. On the surface it expresses a willingness to accept a reality that is verifiably evident.What's interesting is that the phrase was coined by Thomas Fuller, a 17th Century clergyman, and the whole phrase is: “seeing is believing, but feeling is the truth”. He was suggesting that truth and evidence are sometimes differentiated. Some truths can't be verified so neatly.It's a pretty deep concept, one that is the heart of our study this Sunday as we continue in our examination of the Gospel of John. We'll be reading John 4:43-54.Some things to keep in mind as you read: the repeated idea of “seeing” (see, seen). This is a through-line from the last section.In our text we are introduced to a man of means and position, a government official (likely working for Herod Antipas). He implores Jesus to come to his home and heal his son. Jesus' response is puzzling on the surface. Who do you think he's talking to when he says “you”? Why do you think he responded that way? In what ways do you think this man didn't believe in Jesus?When Jesus sends the man home, what evidence did that man have that anything had changed for his son? What was the basis for him heading home? What does that tell us about the kind of faith God is looking for from us?The timing of the boy's healing and Jesus' words is highlighted by John. What might it teach us about who Jesus is and what is within his control?In v53 we are told the man and his household believe in Jesus. How is that a different kind of faith than the believing expressed by the Galileans from v45? How would you describe the deeper faith that we are challenged to in this passage?I'm really stoked about this section, I hope you can join us for what I think will be a intriguing but very encouraging study!Click here for a pdf of the teaching slideshow.

Alguien me dijo: “No he estado tan cerca de Dios como ahora que estoy pasando por esta enfermedad”. Thomas Fuller dijo: “La salud no se valora hasta que llega la enfermedad”. El tener salud es una bendición que muchas veces tomamos a la ligera. Sin embargo, debemos actuar y decidir bien en cuanto al cuidado de nuestro cuerpo, porque lo que hagamos hoy tendrá efectos permanentes en nuestra salud. La enfermedad en sí es una muestra de que nuestro cuerpo se va desmejorando gradualmente. En cada segundo que pasa nuestro cuerpo instintivamente sufre cambios mínimos y otros progresivos. Las enfermedades tienen una raíz y se llama pecado. La Palabra de Dios dice que por el pecado entró la muerte. Con esto no quiero decir que si te encuentras enfermo es porque es el resultado de un pecado en particular. Lo que quiero decir es que día tras día nuestro cuerpo se muere y lentamente nos acercamos más al momento donde estaremos siempre con nuestro Creador. Pero, ¿qué hacer si estamos enfermos? Buscar la manera de examinar dicha enfermedad, bien sea física o emocional, para buscar el tratamiento adecuado. Seguir con los cuidados indicados para experimentar una mejoría. Esperar en Dios y confiar en Él si los médicos y profesionales no encuentran qué hacer. Por último, cuidar siempre nuestro cuerpo como una prioridad. La Biblia dice en 1 de Corintios 6:19, “19 ¿No se dan cuenta de que su cuerpo es el templo del Espíritu Santo, quien vive en ustedes y les fue dado por Dios? Ustedes no se pertenecen a sí mismos” (NTV).

Thomas, ou Tom, Fuller naît en 1710, en Afrique occidentale. À l'âge de 14 ans, il est enlevé par des marchands d'esclaves et emmené aux États-Unis. Là, il est vendu au propriétaire d'une plantation, en Virginie. Bien entendu, Thomas Fuller, qui est voué aux travaux des champs, n'a reçu aucune instruction. C'est donc un analphabète, incapable de lire l'anglais. Et pourtant, il a d'étonnantes facultés. En effet, ses prouesses en calcul mental sont surprenantes. Sa réputation commence à se répandre et des visiteurs, parfois connus, viennent le rencontrer. Ils veulent se rendre compte par eux-mêmes et voir si les capacités qu'on lui attribue sont bien réelles. Un talent non reconnu à sa juste valeur Thomas Fuller ne déçoit pas ses visiteurs. Il exécute devant eux, en un temps record, des calculs qui les laissent pantois. À la requête de personnes venues le voir, il indique combien il y a de secondes en 18 mois. Et il ne lui faut que deux minutes pour parvenir à ce résultat. Plus surprenant encore, il donne à l'un de ses interlocuteurs le nombre de secondes qui se sont écoulées en 70 ans, plus quelques jours et heures. Mais là, le visiteur, qui a lui-même fait le calcul, croit avoir décelé une erreur dans celui effectué par l'esclave, en moins de deux minutes. Thomas Fuller s'est-il enfin trompé ? Nullement. Il répond que son "examinateur" a oublié de compter les années bissextiles dans son calcul. Mais lui ne les a pas négligées ! Ses dons pour le calcul, qui font de lui une véritable calculatrice vivante, seront utilisés par ses maîtres. Il les aidera en effet dans la gestion de leur exploitation agricole. Quand il meurt, en 1790, Thomas Fuller, surnommé le "calculateur de Virginie", ne reçoit pas les hommages qu'il mérite. Son cas, cependant, apporte de l'eau au moulin de tous ceux qui, notamment durant la Révolution française, réclament l'abolition de l'esclavage. L'exemple de cet esclave arithméticien montre bien, à leurs yeux, qu'un Noir n'est pas inférieur à un Blanc. Convenablement instruit, il peut montrer autant de talent que lui.

This episode, we follow up on a question from Ep. 90 about why the wandering worker Thomas Fuller might have fallen in with a criminal shepherd by looking at a pair of vagrancy and labor laws from the economically disrupted decades following the Black Death: the Statute of Laborers of 1351 and the Commons' Petition against Vagrants of 1376.

There are around 300,000 Thai Americans but almost 5,000 Thai restaurants in the United States. To understand how Thai restaurants became so ubiquitous in the US, we dive into the history of how Thai cuisine arrived in the US before Thai immigrants started to arrive in large numbers, and how Thai Americans capitalized on the popularity of their food to find their niche in the US economy. I'm joined in this episode by Associate Professor of Asian and Asian American Studies at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Dr. Mark Padoongpatt, author of Flavors of Empire: Food and the Making of Thai America.

The California School for the Deaf, Riverside's football team is having a Hollywood-worthy season. They are the top team in their league and are on their way to clinching the title, not just by winning, but by dominating their opponents. Not too long ago, they suffered through seven straight losing seasons, and worse than that were the sneers and low expectations of rivals who assumed a team of deaf athletes could not prevail. Their quarterback calls them not just a team, but a brotherhood. We'll talk to the school's superintendent and reporter Thomas Fuller about the Cub's championship season. 

“Health is not valued until sickness comes.” This is a quote by Thomas Fuller written in the 1600s. Our country is struggling to find what normal is. Our medical industry is a joke. We are a sick care system. I want people to value their health and work toward becoming more healthy. We can do it just by adding simple things to the way we eat…

Welcome to Day 1683 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me.This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to WisdomA Character of Integrity – Daily WisdomWelcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. We are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today's trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16&version=NLT (Proverbs 16:16) How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!  We are on Day 1683 of our Trek, and it's time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote along with some wise words from Gramps for today's trek. If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let's jump right in with today's nugget: Today's quote is from Thomas Fuller, and it is: A fault, once denied, is twice committed. A Character of Integrity I believe we all have the propensity to lie or to cover up our faults and inadequacies. We desire to make ourselves look better in front of others. While I certainly understand that desire and tendency, this type of behavior shows a weakness of integrity. Covering up a fault will only make us look even worse when the truth is discovered. It is much better to admit and confess when we have erred. We may have to suffer the embarrassment and possible ridicule now, but that is much less than what we will have to suffer if we engage in covering up, and then it is exposed. A person with character traits that include being honest with themselves will show to others that we have a character of integrity. Don't let the temptation to look good in the short term cost us our life of strong integrity long term.  We all have faults; that is part of being a human. To attempt a cover-up of those faults is shortsighted, foolish, and will result in the fault being committed twice. It is just not worth it. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2010%3A9&version=NLT (Proverbs 10:9) People with integrity walk safely, but those who follow crooked paths will be exposed. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2011%3A20&version=NLT (Proverbs 11:20) The Lord detests people with crooked hearts, but he delights in those with integrity. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2020%3A7&version=NLT (Proverbs 20:7) The godly walk with integrity; blessed are their children who follow them.

Seventeenth century historian, Thomas Fuller, said, “Even doubtful accusations leave a stain behind them.” A stain, a spot or a blimp on the timeline of life that cannot be washed away. Being falsely accused hurts and can desolate families. Being falsely accused doesn’t hurt for a moment; it, as Fuller describes, “leaves a stain.” It’s ... The post False Evidence appeared first on Unconventional Business Network.

"Repent and believe" formed a two-part equation that was at the heart of Jesus' preaching.  Yet somehow over time, in some circles of the church, it has been reduced to simply "believe.  If you have never truly reached the point of repentance you are missing half of the equation.  What is repentance?  Why does it matter to you?  What should you do about it?  In this episode, we lean into the text and reach back into church history for insight and inspiration.  

This is Entrepreneurs of Faith, a Sunday episode of Monetization Nation. I'm Nathan Gwilliam, your host. Today, we're talking about how to forgive.  “Leave it Alone”  There was a man named John who was deeply in love with his wife, and they were expecting their first child. The night the baby was to be born, there were complications. The only doctor was somewhere in the countryside tending to the sick. After many hours of labor, the condition of the mother-to-be became desperate. Finally, the doctor was located. In the emergency, he acted quickly and soon had things in order. The baby was born and the crisis, it appeared, was over.  Some days later, the young mother died from the very infection the doctor had been treating at another home that night. John's world was shattered.  As the weeks wore on, his grief festered. “That doctor should not be allowed to practice,” he would say. “He brought that infection to my wife. If he had been careful, she would be alive today.” He thought of little else, and in his bitterness, he became threatening. Today, no doubt, he would have been pressed by many others to file a malpractice suit.  A church leader asked to speak with him. The counsel was simply, “John, leave it alone. Nothing you do about it will bring her back. Anything you do will make it worse. John, leave it alone.”  This became his trial—his Gethsemane. How could he leave it alone? Right was right! A terrible wrong had been committed and somebody must pay for it.  Finally, he determined that he should be obedient, follow the counsel of the church leader, and leave it alone.  It was not until he was an old man that he could finally see a poor country doctor—overworked, underpaid, run ragged from patient to patient, with little medicine, no hospital, few instruments, struggling to save lives, and succeeding for the most part. The doctor had come in a moment of crisis, when two lives hung in the balance, and had acted without delay. If the young father had not left it alone, it would have ruined his life and the lives of others. Many times he thanked the Lord for the advice of a wise spiritual leader to “leave it alone”. (Source: Boyd Packer) We Want to Forgive, but How do We Forgive? In this episode I will focus on an important lesson the Savior taught from the cross when he prayed, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34) This is not a talk about why we should forgive. We already know that. We want to forgive, and we try to forgive. But, sometimes we still see the person who hurt us, and those negative emotions bubble up again. This episode is about HOW to forgive. What Forgiveness is Not Before I begin, I want to make 3 clarifying points. Forgiveness is not a weakness. Gandhi said “The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.” Forgiveness is not condoning the wrong that was done to us. It is not saying that what they did is ok. Forgiveness does not mean putting ourselves or others in an unsafe situation again. Jeffrey Holland said: “Christ taught ‘I, the Lord, will forgive whom I will forgive, but of you it is required to forgive all men.' It is, however, important for some of you living in real anguish to note what He did not say. ‘You are not allowed to feel true pain or real sorrow from the shattering experiences you have had at the hand of another.' Nor did He say, ‘In order to forgive fully, you have to reenter a toxic relationship or return to an abusive, destructive circumstance.'” Now, I will address 7 secrets that can help us to forgive.  Secret #1: We can CHOOSE to love and forgive. Maybe a good first step in the forgiveness process is to write down who we choose to forgive, and for what. Then, we can write the reasons we love and are grateful for the person. Thomas Monson said, “Never let a problem to be solved become more important than a person to be loved.”  In 2004, a group of teenagers used a stolen credit card to buy a 20-pound frozen turkey in Long Island. As they drove, an 18-year-old named Ryan Cushing threw the turkey out of the car and into Victoria Ruvolo's windshield. The impact broke every bone in Ruvolo's face, which required a 10-hour surgery, three titanium plates, and a wire mesh for her left eye socket to correct. The teens were arrested shortly after, and several of them agreed to testify against Ryan. Cushing would have faced up to 25 years in prison if he was convicted. Instead, Ruvolo intervened on his behalf and worked to get him amnesty for the crime, and he was imprisoned for only 6 months. Ruvolo wrote, “Some people couldn't understand why I'd done this but I felt God had given me a second chance and I wanted to pass it on.” (source: The Forgiveness Project and the NY Post)  Secret #2: We can replace that darkness and hurt with light and love through acts of kindness.  One of the first and best ways to replace darkness with light and love is for us to pray for that person. Matthew 5:44 teaches “pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;”We can pray for Heavenly Father to bless that person. We can express gratitude for the good things the person has brought into our lives. We can pray for strength and courage to forgive. We can tell our Heavenly Father that we have chosen to forgive the person. Then we can pray for our hearts to change, to let go and ask that we can then feel love in place of hurt, sadness, anger, and resentment. We can ask Heavenly Father to help us see that person how He sees them.Matthew also exhorts us to: “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you” with special emphasis on the phrase “do good”. I think that's one of the biggest secrets to being able to forgive.Choosing to forgive and letting go of the darkness is not enough. We must fill the darkness with light. If someone has hurt us, we can serve them, do good to them, and watch as darkness evaporates and light and love start to increase in the place of the hurt and resentment.Martin Luther King, Jr. said “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Mary Johnson lost her son in 1993 after a then-teenaged Oshea Israel got into a fight with him at a party, and shot him. Johnson went to visit Oshea in jail. After their first contact, she said  “I began to feel this movement in my feet. It moved up my legs, and it just moved up my body. When I felt it leave me, I instantly knew that all that anger and hatred and animosity I had in my heart for 12 years was over. I had totally forgiven [him].” The two now live as neighbors in the same duplex, and Johnson has even referred to Israel as “son” in interviews.“ (source: The Daily Beast) Secret #3: We must forgive others so we can be forgiven by the Savior.Matthew 6:14-15 teaches, “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”Thomas Fuller said, "He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven." In 1918, three law officers were murdered when they attempted to arrest several criminals. Glenn Kempton's father was one of the officers killed. Glenn is my great uncle. The murderers were captured, tried, and sent to prison for life. As a boy, there grew in Glenn's heart a bitterness and a hatred toward Tom Powers, the confessed slayer of his Father. One day, Glenn was on a business trip in Arizona and detoured to the prison where Tom Powers was being held. He arrived after visiting hours and spoke with the warden, who arranged the meeting with Glenn and Tom. The two had a long talk and at the end, Glenn shook Tom's hand and said, “With all my heart, I forgive you for this awful thing that has come into our lives.” Glenn says it is a glorious thing when bitterness and hatred go out of your heart and forgiveness comes in. As he walked out the door and down that long flight of steps he knew that forgiveness was better than revenge, for he had experienced it. As he and his wife drove toward home, a sweet and peaceful calm came over Glenn and he had found a broader, richer, and more abundant life.

Nobody is perfect. Knowing and recognizing our own faults allows us to give others the right to make their own mistakes. (Source: Allan Halls) We can seek to understand the hurt and traditions of the fathers that contributed to the person doing what they did.We can think of the many things we have done for which we need forgiveness. When we remember how much for which we need to be forgiven, it makes it easier to show mercy to those who have hurt us. We can also give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they have good motives.Forgiving can also become easier when we remember a time when we were forgiven, focusing on how it made us feel.

Astonishing the judge and community, Guzman-Jesus not only forgave the boy but also asked for him to get a lighter sentence, telling reporters that she believes her daughter would have wanted it that way. Howe will only serve one year in a juvenile detention center and will visit local schools with Guzman-Jesus to warn kids of the dangers of guns. Secret #5: We can move on with the next chapters in our lives.Our past histories are not here in our present realities. We shouldn't allow them to be here in our minds, muddying our present moments. Our lives are like plays with several acts. Some of the characters who enter have short roles to play; others, much larger. Some are villains and others are good guys. But all of them are necessary, otherwise, they wouldn't be in the play. We can embrace them all, and move on to the next act.Former South African leader Nelson Mandela was sent to prison in 1963 on charges of trying to sabotage the nation's government, which advocated a policy of apartheid that treated people of different races differently. Mandela advocated a democratic society in which all people would be treated equally. Mandela spent the next 27 years in prison, but after he was released in 1990, he forgave the people who had imprisoned him. Mandela later became South Africa's president and delivered speeches internationally in which he urged people to forgive each other because forgiveness is God's plan and, therefore, is always the right thing to do.Secret #6: We can become more like Jesus Christ by forgiving.Learning to forgive is part of our journeys to become more like the Savior.When we hold on to anger and resentment, we lose the Spirit, and the help from the Spirit to forgive. When we choose to forgive, we can receive the help of the Spirit to forgive.Sandra Walker, a mother of two, lost her husband in a car accident that also caused her to have a life-changing brain injury, according to The Daily Mail. At the trial for the accident, in her court statement, Walker said she sympathized with the woman who crashed into them—who herself lost a child in the accident—and gave her a hug. “I know she is going through as much pain as I am feeling. I wanted her to know that I forgive her for what she did,” Walker told WSB-TV.Secret #7: We can give it to God. Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves, by letting God carry the burden of judging and punishing. We don't have the wisdom or strength to do those things without hurting ourselves and others. (source: Sherrie Call) Forgiveness is in part trusting that God will take care of things. Romans 12:19 teaches, “Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord.” In this scripture, Christ is asserting his role of judge and is wanting us to trust his judgments, let go, and move on. It's a tender mercy. He's asking us to trust his perfect understanding of the lives, abilities, and circumstances of all. I believe that as long as we have faith in Christ as a redeemer and as a judge, we don't need to stew over those who have wronged us. Christ will give them what they need and will give us what we need. He knows that better than us, and we can trust Him. Once we've given it to God, it's not ours anymore. It's His, and we cannot hold onto it anymore. (Source: Samantha Abildskov)Key TakeawaysIf we try to forgive, but the feelings of hurt and resentment come up in the future, we can go through this process again. If we need additional help, we can find that help through prayer, fasting, and sometimes professional counseling. I challenge each of us to pick someone today who we need to forgive and to go through appropriate steps to “leave it alone”, to forgive them, and to receive the liberating power of forgiveness in our lives. I am so grateful for the forgiveness I have received from my Heavenly Father, from my family, and others. I am grateful for Jesus Christ's atonement that has made this possible. I'm grateful He is quick to forgive us when we sincerely repent. I know that as we forgive, we will also be forgiven.Join Entrepreneurs of FaithIf this episode of Entrepreneurs of Faith resonated with you, please subscribe for FREE to Monetization Nation so you can receive Entrepreneurs of Faith each Sunday.

(2020, June 5). Behind the Scenes Look Inside the New York State Capitol in Albany. Untapped New York. https://untappedcities.com/2020/06/05/behind-the-scenes-inside-the-new-york-state-capitol-in-albany/   TRANSCRIPT: Hello, and welcome to Crimes & Witch-Demeanors!  I'm your host, Joshua Spellman.  We're starting the year off right with something we should have covered earlier…a haunted library!  Or…at least a haunting that was caused by a library.    The New York State Capitol Building, in Albany is home to three known spirits: the artist William Morris Hunt, a night watchman named Samuel Abbott, and a fruit vendor.  There was a death of a construction worker at the site that may contribute to the hauntings, but it is not confirmed.  Both the fruit vendor and the construction worker have remained nameless in all the internet articles I've read…until now.  Join me in discovering their identities and learning more about the tragic fire that erased centuries of history and caused billions of dollars of damage…which of course lets us touch briefly on the importance of libraries, preservation, and the dangers that digital and physical records pose to the preservation of our history and culture.   BUT…before we get to our main ghost story we have to talk about the building itself because not only is it impressive, it is integral to the spirits that haunt it.   The New York State Capitol is an incredibly large and imposing structure that fills two whole city blocks.  Five architects had worked on its design and it was heralded as one of the most beautiful buildings in America…though others criticized it for being an oversized and costly spectacle.  Which…they weren't wrong about.  Construction took place between 1867 and 1899 at a cost of over 25 million dollars, or the modern equivalent of 768 million.  It was built by hand using white granite from Maine and in places the walls are four to five feet thick.   Its style is unique…and that is in part because of its five architects that did not work on the project simultaneously leading to what historians refer to it as the “Battle of the Styles”.  It also has led to some interesting mishaps, not all stemming from its numerous architects, but they are major oversights nonetheless.  Some highlights include the building initially being built on top of quick sand!  Not sure how that happened!  They had to dig out all the sand and replace it with clay and concrete.  Another major mistake was that the original cornerstone of the building, which contains a time capsule, has been lost because the builders forgot to mark it.   The first architect, Thomas Fuller, designed the first floor in a Classical and Romanesque style.  However, from 1875-1883, Henry Hobson Richardson and Leopold Eidlitz worked on the building and continued the design in a Renaissance style.  During this time, Frederick Law Olmstead, who was a frequent collaborator with Richardson, was hired for the landscape architecture.  The final architect on the project was Isaac G. Perry, assigned to the project by Grover Cleveland.  He became the first New York State architect and is known for many institutional buildings and asylums across the state.   While the exterior itself is impressive the interior is absolutely breathtaking.  In particular, the Western Grand Staircase is a testament to the intricacies of this bold design.  Initially begun by Richardson, it was completed by Perry who kept his design but added even more carved elements than originally planned.  The Grand Staircase lacks a dome, and in fact the New York State Capitol is one of only 10 US Capitol buildings without one, but in its place is a magnificent 3,000 square foot skylight.  Which is…bigger than any house I've lived in.  I cannot even fathom it.  The vaulted ceilings and sandstone walls are carved with intricate acanthus leaf designs around 77 famous faces of the day.  The sandstone carvers were also allowed to carve a memory into the sandstone, many choosing to carve the faces of their wives or children.  However, one of these artisans had a dark side as he chose to carve the face of a demon tucked between some leaves in a dark hallway.  It is so small and tiny that it is said if you can find the face on your own, you yourself are a devil.   The devil is surely in the details and the capitol building is full of them.  One of the lost details are the murals of artist William Morris Hunter.  Hunt was commissioned to paint two 45 foot long murals directly onto the sandstone walls of the Assembly Chamber.  They were titled “The Flight of Night” and “Discover” and Hunt considered them to be his magnum opus.  Sadly, the ceiling of the Assembly Chamber was deemed unstable and had to be lowered significantly, permanently obscuring the artwork.  Future murals that were planned were deserted due to a lack of funding.  The destruction of these works are largely attributed to the deepening of his depression and eventual suicide.  His ghost still haunts the capitol today, mourning the loss of his greatest works.   The lowered ceiling was intended to be made of solid oak.  However, the contractor cheated the state to line his own pockets and instead used oak paneling filled with paper mâché.  While this was a contentious issue at the time it ended up saving the Assembly Chamber in 1911 when true tragedy struck.         “Good evening, what are you still doing here?” and old man asked, a lantern in one hand and a silver-handled cane in the other “Working late?”   “Good evening, Mr. Abbott!  Oh, well you know…a librarian's work is never done!” the man replied, “Plus the Tammany caucus didn't wrap up until,” he glanced at his pocket watch “nearly one o'clock this morning.  So I'm just closing up the State Library now.  I believe they're still in the Assembly Library up to God knows what! I just worry, I hate that the Assembly uses their library as a social venue…always drinking and smoking…even with their wives around!”   Old man Abbott chuckled, “Well I'll make sure they don't get into too much trouble, that's my job after all!” he said, patting the small firearm on his side.   “I will sleep a little better knowing you're on the lookout” the librarian sighed, “I suppose I'm just a little on edge about it all. With the Triangle Shirtwaist fire last week, I can't stop thinking about what would happen if something like that were to occur here with all the cigarettes flying about”   “Well,” Abbott said, thoughtfully, “they say this building is fireproof and I'm sure we'd be able to put out a blaze before it got too serious.  Remember the fire a few years ago in the cellar from the electrical?  That wasn't a problem.  We just shut the doors at it burned itself out.”   “You're right, you're right” the librarian replied, “I'm just being overly anxious.  Well, goodnight Samuel” the librarian said, waving his hand as he exited the library.   “Goodnight!” Abbott shouted back as he resumed his patrol of the stacks.   Samuel smiled, looking toward the intricate ceilings, drinking in the newfound silence of the library.  What a job he had.  What a life he had.  The relative stillness of the State Capitol at night was a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the capitol during the day, not dissimilar to the cacophony of the Civil War that oftentimes still rang through his ears   But at night.  The night was different.  A peaceful, cool stillness that only being surrounded by marble  and stone could impart.  There was nothing like wandering the corridors alone at night, absorbing the artistry all around him; every night finding some new detail tucked away into the sandstone by some coy artisan.    Despite being an old man of 78, Samuel was happy to be working.  He loved being in awe every day.  There was always something new, something exciting.  The State Library itself, with its hundreds of thousands of books, or even more exciting…the artifact collection.  Unique items and treasures from all over the world, and he was able to spend time alone with them.  And it was his job to protect them and the employees of the capitol.  There was never a night that he didn't find something to excite him, and this night was no different.   “FIRE! FIRE!” a panicked voice shouted from somewhere in the hall.  Samuel rushed out of the library as quickly as he could, and he found the man in the hall, looking around, frantic.   “What's going on?” Samuel asked, concerned.   “There's a fire.  A fire in the assembly library.  It was just a small fire on the desk it could have been put out with just a bucket of water but we couldn't find any…” the man breathed heavily “we thought we'd shut the door and let it burn out while we got something to extinguish it but…but…now it's engulfed the whole library.  We have to get everyone out!”   Samuel didn't say a word.  He just nodded in understanding and rushed back into the library.  He had to do something, “Is anyone in here?!” he shouted through the library, his voice echoing.  He just performed his rounds and didn't see anyone, but he had to make sure “There's a fire and we have to evacuate!”  He listened.  The only thing he could hear was the distant commotion in the Assembly room.   Glancing around at the thousands of books and records around him, Samuel was overcome by the importance of these volumes.  Family genealogies, state records, even materials from the founding fathers were in this library.  Without a second thought, Samuel made his way around the library, flinging open windows in hopes that it could save the material. “What are you doing?” someone gasped from the doorway of the library “We have to go!” they shouted before running off.   “I'll be out in a moment!” Samuel grumbled back, continuing his crusade to save the library.   First, smoke began to pour in from one of the other entrances.  Then flames leapt out, licking the nearest shelf of books, setting them ablaze.  Quickly, the fire spread down the stacks.  The smoke was so thick that Samuel could hardly see.   Wheezing, he hobbled on his cane out into the hall.  He could hear voices in the distance, but he seemed to be the only one around, everyone else had made it safely out the area of immediate danger.  Samuel made his way as quickly as possible to the Grand Staircase but what he saw was a scene out of the ninth circle of hell.   The fire was burning so hot that the staircase was…melting.  The staircase was turning into a molten slurry and Samuel could hear cracks forming in the massive skylight above.  He pivoted and made his way down a narrow corridor.  He knew this building like the back of his hand, this was the closest way out, just through this claustrophobic hallway.   The smoke seared his lungs.  He couldn't see.  He reached for the keys on his belt, he knew the door would be locked.  It was only a hundred feet or so.  CRACK!  The sound was deafening.  The skylight above the Grand Staircase, had shattered.  And though it was far behind him, it sounded as though it was just above him.  The walls of the corridor were crumbling, the ceiling was falling down.  Just 40 more feet.  A large chunk of stone fell next to Samuel, just missing him.  30 more feet.  He coughed.  His eyes were feeling heavy.  20 feet.  He grabbed the keys from his belt.  15 feet.  The glass of the door he was headed to shattered in front of him, which was fortunate in case he couldn't get the lock.  10 feet.  His feet felt heavy, he was losing consciousness.  But he was almost there.  5 feet.   Blackness.   Poor Samuel Abbott perished just 5 feet from safety.  His body being buried by debris, it would not be found for days.  Samuel Abbott was the sole human casualty of the 1911 Capitol Fire.  Despite his brave actions, much of the Library's collections and State records were lost.  500,000 books, over 300,000 colonial manuscripts, state census records, revolutionary war records, were destroyed alongside another 10,000 archaeological and ethnographic artifacts.  It's said that miraculously, the only items left unscathed by the inferno were the Native American artifacts.  Were they protected by ancestor spirits?   The blaze was eventually put out, completely destroying about a quarter of the capitol.  Unfortunately, none of the material, not the building were insured.  Which was especially detrimental since the fire caused anywhere from 8 million to 12 million dollars in damage.  The modern equivalent of 209 to 314 million today.   In a strange twist of fate, the paper mâché paneling in the assembly room that covered up William Morris Hunt's artwork may have helped save the day.  If the ceiling in the Assembly was made of solid oak as planned, it would have been destroyed in minutes.  However, the filling of the paneling absorbed the water from the firefighter's hoses and slowed the progress of the fire.  Saving the Assembly room from total wreckage, and preventing the spread of the fire to the rest of the Capitol.   The jangle of keys can be heard late at night.  Locked doorknobs turn and are tugged at.  It appears that Samuel's ghost is still wandering the halls.  Not in pain, but happily carrying out his nightly duties, ensuring that everyone in the building is safe.  Helping to avoid any future tragedy that may befall the Capitol.         For a story about a library fire the accuracy of the articles out there are astoundingly poor.  In more than one article William Morris Hunt is called William Morris Hunter.  Luckily he's a larger figure in the art world and this is easily remedied but it had been Samuel Abbott that was misnamed it would make research on him much more difficult.   I feel so bad for Samuel Abbott, especially because he was so close to escaping.  His body was lost in the ruins and wasn't discovered until March 31st.  Here is an excerpt from the Brooklyn Times Union titled “Body is Found in Albany Ruins”:   “About 7:30 o'clock this morning, as the men tackled the debris near the entrance, they discovered a charred leg protruding upwards.  Shortly after the body was uncovered and taken from the ruins.  The head and trunk were not burned, but the four limbs were charred.   Had Abbott been able to continue on his way he would have found safety within five feet.  The door, although locked, is partly glass and would have broken easily.  It is supposed the smoke drove him out of the library proper, and he was overcome on his way to safety.”   This is also the main excerpt I based the narration on, since (naturally) not much is available on what happened to him specifically that night.  Though accounts of other staff members are plentiful.   However, I weaved facts in the rest of the narration.  Parts of the sandstone did melt under the heat of the flames and the giant skylight completely shattered from the heat.  The amount of damage to the building and the records inside it is astounding.  While the cause of the fire is still debated, today it's usually attributed to a cigar or cigarette that was discarded improperly during the caucus.  However, all the newspapers I read said it was due to faulty wiring, which was the cause of the previous fire in the cellar.  There were reports of electrical issues in the Assembly room and the Assembly Library prior to the fire so it is a possibility.  Reports on this differ and it's impossible to know now what truly started the blaze. The damage was incredible, and the descriptions of how the building essentially acted as a chimney for flames to shoot through and carry to other parts of the building is horrifying.  You can see pictures of the damage on the podcast Instagram.  It's worth a look.   This fire still impacts research in the modern day as so many historical records, even those dating to colonial times were destroyed.  However, this leads me to address a major part of this story that has become legend: that none of the indigenous artifacts were damaged in the fire.   This obviously is an ominous and spooky fact that has spread over the last century… but it's only partially true.  The night of the fire many brave librarians, archivists, and archaeologists did what any of us would do – attempt to save our cultural heritage.    Arthur Parker, the first New York State archaeologist ran the length of the fourth floor hallway brandishing a tomahawk that was passed down through generations of Seneca natives.  He used the tomahawk as a fire ax and rescued as many artifacts as he was able.  He managed to only save 50 of the 500 Iroquois artifacts on display, but it was better than having them all perish in the flames.  So…yes.  Some of the indigenous materials were saved, but it was due to human intervention, not the spectral.   Other librarians managed to save rare volumes and artifacts including the original manuscript of George Washington's farewell address and the copy of the Emancipation Proclamation that Abraham Lincoln had written by hand.   One of the more heartwarming things I read in the newspapers were the other librarians from across the world lending assistance and condolences.  In an article in the Syracuse Post Standard, Mary J. Sibley, the librarian at Syracuse University, offered the use of the library to the Capitol Building's State Library School.  The head librarian from the Imperial University in Tokyo also send kind words and support via telegram.   We'll get back to paranormal ghosts in a moment but the true ghosts of the fire is the hundreds of thousands of lost records that were vital to learning our country's history.  However, this fire and the famous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire that happened only days prior, led to major fire safety reforms.  Library fires have destroyed many important records: most famously the 1921 fire that destroyed almost the entirety of the 1890 census, or more recently the 2018 museum fire in Brazil that destroyed over 200 years of records and artifacts.   One of the most annoying things I hear surrounding these fires is “Why didn't they have all of it scanned and digital?”  And there is so much to unpack here, it would probably take another hour of explaining the intricacies of not only digitization but digital preservation.  But here's the cliff notes: most of the world's knowledge is on paper.  Well over 90% of it, in fact.  Why is it not digital?  There's a number of factors—the largest being that digitization is expensive.  It takes a lot of manual labor that libraries, museums, and archives do not have the funding or manpower for in addition to storage and maintenance costs.  Digital records are also a lot more volatile than paper ones.  How many times have you opened a file and it was corrupt?  Or you accidentally deleted something from your hard drive?  Things like this can wipe out thousands of records in an instant.  Also, digital records need constant upkeep as file formats become obsolete and as they suffer from bitrot…yes, digital files do rot…there's a lot.  The long and short of it is that paper records are typically easier to preserve.  Ideally you would have the paper copies and numerous copies of digital surrogates stored in different geographic locations with different natural disaster threats.  But I digress.   The moral of the story is digital media is more prone to destruction and requires constant upkeep while paper records can be managed with benign neglect.   Okay, sorry for the lecture.  Let's talk about the ghosts we haven't met yet—the unnamed fruit vendor and the construction worker.   The spirit of the vendor was said to be discovered when a female tour guide was locking up for the night when she saw a large, black mass fall from one of the upper floors to ground below.  To her surprise, there was nothing there.  After telling her fellow tour guides they were confused because there had never been ghost sightings in that portion of the building.  It was later discovered that in 1890 a depressed fruit vendor flung himself from the fourth floor Senate Chamber staircase and died.  There are numerous reports of people seeing something fall from the staircase and when they look they have seen a man bleeding out on the stones.  However, once they go to get help there is nothing there upon their return.   Surprisingly, no articles name this fruit vendor which had me doubting his existence.  I came across the story on a fluke and I would never have found this information if it wasn't for some faulty OCR..which if you don't know is optical character recognition.  Essentially computer readings of scanned images.  I was searching for fruit vendors in 1890 using modern spelling “v-e-n-d-o-r” but luckily the OCR on a newspaper was incorrect and I still go the hit.  It turns out in 1890 it was spelled “v-e-n-d-e-r” and for some really odd reason, the story of the fruit vendor's suicide was exclusive to this Brooklyn newspaper.  Brooklyn is nowhere near Albany but again, I digress.    The story is honestly super graphic and surprising for a Victorian-era article, but the article from the Brooklyn Citizen reads as follows:   An Unusual Suicide: A Fruit Vender Kills Himself in the State Capitol (special to the citizen)   Albany, April 17th: At about 8:45 this morning Jacob Thorne, a sidewalk fruit vender, jumped or fell down the Senate staircase, a distance of eighty-five feet, to the second floor and was instantly killed, his head being crushed to jelly.  He was about 65 years of age, and had been in ill health for some time, and was supposed by many to be slightly deranged.  The suicide theory is accepted, as the body lay almost in the centre of the court”   So, now we know that his name was Jacob Thorne.  Why he's never mentioned by name anywhere is beyond me.  I tried to do more research into him, and I thought I came across him…a farmer named Jacob Thorne in the Albany area.  At first it appeared that he was still alive after 1890 but when I saw he was listed on a census for no reason, his wife was listed as widowed, I thought it may be him.  But alas, it was not.  I searched for a good amount of time through numerous resources and only came across the Jacob Thorne that was not him.  This leads me to believe either the records were destroyed or perhaps he was black.  But I'm just glad that his name is out there now, because the dead should be remembered.    This includes the construction worker who's spirit may or may not haunt the grounds.  In all the stories it is said that a man who was plastering the ceilings in the Senate Assembly room in 1878 fell on a Saturday night and he wasn't discovered until Monday morning, still alive.  Doctor's attempted to save his life but he died two days later.  Is this story the truth?   According to the Buffalo Courier and the Poughkeepsie Eagle, on Monday, October 29, 1878, two men had fallen while working on the capital building on the same day, at different times, and were both seriously injured.  So there's one discrepancy, there were two men: Patrick Stanton and John Hunt.  Stanton fell from the scaffolding while Hunt fell through a ventilation hole in the ceiling when removing its co ver.  Yet another inaccuracy is that this incident occurred on a Monday and not over the weekend as the story goes.  They were both immediately taken to the hospital for medical attention.    Neither of them appears to have died.  Though there was a John Hunter that died the same day who was a mason.  However, he's buried in Brooklyn.  It's possible it was him, but the name isn't an exact match.  The articles title…which I must read since it is…something else does say that there was a death from injuries.  The title is “Important River News: Items from our Exchanges ; Two Accidents At The Capital - Died From His Injuries - The Body of Eagan Found In The River - Fires - A Pet Dog Roasted In An Oven - Strange Disappearance Of An Aged Lady - Sad Accident in Troy”   This…is a sidebar we need to touch on.  I come across so many bizarre stories when reading newspapers.  The dog story…I just need to share.  I shouldn't laugh but it's so weird!   “A lady living on Front Street, west of Swan, had a favorite little pet dog about the house up to Thursday last.  On that day he mysteriously disappeared, and Sunday, when the lady had occasion to open for the first time since Thursday, the oven door of the kitchen stove, the roast remains of the per were found”  WHAT.  I need to know more.  But that's not why were' here.   Curiously, the article also mentions that there was a fatality of someone by the name Riley in the Assembly room due to ventilation holes which had been covered at this point.  Is this the ghost of the worker who fell?  Or is this an additional death not mentioned previously.  Either way, this is a mystery that I unfortunately spent over an hour trying to figure out and one that for now, will remain unsolved.  If either of these men were to die it seems it would have been John Hunt as he was suffering from “intense internal pain” that they couldn't find the cause of.   The ghost of William Morris Hunt is said to be felt in the Assembly Chamber where his prized works were covered up and then later destroyed.  No one has ever seen his ghost, but instead he has been “felt” and the lights will occasionally flicker.  Which could be his ghost…but it makes me think of the faulty wiring that may have ignited the blaze.  The doorknobs in the room also rattle and doors slam shut and open on their own.   However, I like to think this is the ghost of Samuel Abbott, making sure doors are locked and shut as he makes his nightly rounds.  The idea that Mr. Abbott is still trying to keep people safe, that this building has a guardian spirit makes me smile.  And on this smile-worthy note we shall close.    There is so much history that was lost and so much history to uncover at the New York State Capitol, an hour could be dedicated to all the information I couldn't fit in.  I'm recording this episode on Tuesday night because I spent way too much time investigating some of these ghosts!   If you have any places you want me to investigate, please let me know!  Tell a friend about this podcast if you think they'd like it.  So please, stay away from scaffolding, say thank-you to your local librarian, and as always stay curious and stay spooky.  Bye~

Electricity and trees seldom mix. But that doesn't mean they can't be good neighbors. Across the city of Ottawa, there are an estimated 185,000 trees in proximity to Hydro Ottawa's 2,800 kilometers of overhead high-voltage power lines. The lines run to all neighborhoods bringing electricity to over 340,000 homes and businesses. As a utility, the goal is to balance power supply reliability with environmental concerns, such as respecting the natural beauty of our community’s tree canopy. In this episode, Nick Levac, Supervisor of Distribution Operations at Hydro Ottawa, and Greg Tipman, Forestry Inspector at Hydro Ottawa, share all about their efforts in striking this balance.

This is the ThinkEnergy podcast. Dr. Thomas Fuller said it best, "He that plants trees loves others besides himself." And that dates back to 1732. Now let's fast forward to today. Based on aerial imagery and laser sensory technology, the National Capital Commission reported in a recent study that nearly half of the National Capital Region is under the cover of trees: 46% to be precise. Given Dr. Fuller's memorable quote, it looks like Ottawa-Gatineau has a lot of love for its residents. And if you know anything about electricity, you know that electricity and trees seldom mix. But that doesn't mean they can't be good neighbors. Across the city of Ottawa, there are an estimate of 185,000 trees in proximity to Hydro Ottawa's has 2800 kilometers of overhead high-voltage power lines. The lines run to all neighborhoods bringing electricity to over 340,000 homes and businesses. As a utility, the goal is always to balance reliability of the power supply with the environmental concerns such as respecting the natural beauty of your community’s tree canopy. Trees provide all sorts of environmental and energy saving benefits from absorbing CO2 to releasing oxygen back into the air, to providing shade from the sun and reducing excess heat in our home if they're planted in the right place. But, that being said, during storms, broken tree branches can bring down power lines and create serious public safety concerns like damaged equipment, fires, and power outages. Vegetation management, commonly known as tree trimming, identifies hazards and fixes them by pruning trees and redirecting growth away from power lines. All the while, making every effort to ensure trees remain healthy. Highly skilled arborists trim and cut trees near electrical equipment and wires based on tree species growth patterns, geography and line voltage. This work has resulted in reducing power outages by 40% in Ottawa. In fact, between 2019 and 2020, tree contact with power lines was the cause of only 7% of all outages. This is in large part thanks to the preventive measures that utilities like Hydro Ottawa take all year long, with the extreme weather events we've witnessed in the past years, and as climate continues to change, the outcomes will create more problems for utilities to provide reliable power to customers without extended outages. So here's today's big question: In the age of climate change and environmental responsibility, how can utility companies strike a balance between maintaining reliable service, minimizing outages and maintaining a healthy and vibrant urban forest? To help us better understand this balancing act, I've invited our Supervisor of Distribution Operations at Hydro Ottawa Nick Levac and one of the Forestry inspectors, Greg Tipman. Welcome to you both. Greg, I'll start with you. Can you tell us a bit about your work and what the biggest misconceptions are about tree trimming and vegetation control programs when it comes to electricity?   Greg Tipman  05:06 For sure, Dan, and just again, thanks for having us on your podcast this morning. It's getting kind of meat potatoes, you know, my daily job encompasses speaking with customers, addressing the vegetation concerns around power lines, auditing of the contractor we use, which is Asplundh Tree Service. There's also coordinating of our jobs, our time and material jobs. So it's stuff that I look at and deal with the customer and then gets delegated directly to a secondary crew to do that specific work for the customer. There's also writing of prescriptions for any work for other jobs for the customers. So specific work they want Hydro Ottawa to do that's outside of our regular trim program. Some of the biggest misconceptions that I've run into is that a lot of the public thinks that our tree work is just a hack and slash that there's no thought or science put into the tree trimming that's actually going on, when in actuality, we have a whole set of standards for proper pruning, and tree trimming of the species around the Hydro wires. And that kicks back to our working procedures or our lifeline clearing techniques. And then there's another misconception that I've run into quite a bit: a lot of people think that for us, or for our contractor to do the tree trimming, the power has to be shut off every single time. And that's, that's not the case. We like to keep it as a very rare scenario when we do have to shut the power off. And that's usually just for a safety issue for the for the tree trimmers.   Dan Seguin  06:56 Okay, Nick, we often say that trees and electrical wires don't mix. What types of dangerous situations can occur if they come into contact with one another? Is there maybe a recent example you can share with us?   Nick Levac  07:14 Yeah, so I mean, first in mine is obviously power outages. That's kind of the first thing that we hear about when a tree comes down on our conductors. But, you know, the power outages can vary from a whole circuit right back to a substation to just a localized outage in your community or along your streets. The other thing, if the tree does come down on the line, and our in our system doesn't experience an outage, oftentimes trees can catch on fire. So we've had, we've had examples over the years where a tree is rested on a line, nobody notices it, and then eventually, it'll catch on fire, which, which obviously can cause other issues. And especially in the summertime with dry conditions. If that does come down to the ground, I could, you know, start forest fires, which, unfortunately, our neighbors in the south of us have experienced down in California and stuff, but there was one larger outage. And I think it was a start in November, November 2, where a spruce tree that was quite a bit away from the line did fail, and it came down and took down two conductors out at the end of my road, I believe it was and it caused a large outage. In a sense, those are almost better to have because it's easier to find that tree and where the problem is, and we can get crews out to fix it in a quick manner. But that's probably the most recent one that we found that had a major outage and a big impact on system.   Dan Seguin  08:49 So we're clear, Nick, what are the guidelines that determine if tree trimming or vegetation management near power lines is required? What does sufficient clearance from electrical equipment look like?   Nick Levac  09:06 Yeah, so like Greg mentioned in the first question there, we have our arbors going through our system, and we're looking at standards that we trim to the city is divided up into about 30 vegetation management zones. And they're divided into either a two or three year trim cycle, which means you'll see arborist in your backyard or on the streets, trimming out to our guidelines, either every second year or third year. Our main goal, there's a couple of them. But our main goal when we're trimming to our standards that we have is when we come back and either two or three years, the vegetation that we trimmed out is still three feet away. There's different zones that we have from 10 feet back to the conductor or the live overhead wire, and from the wire out to three feet is called the restricted zone. And as I mentioned that that's where we do not want the vegetation to get into. Because if we, if it does get in there creates a bunch of different problems for our, for our tree arborist to go in there. And as Greg mentioned, outages is the last thing we want to do when we're trimming trees. And if that vegetation does get into that restricted zone, increased outages for trimming, there is an option that we have to look at which we're trying to avoid. So that's, that's kind of our main goal. We look at the species of tree and how much it would grow in a year. And as the arborist comes through, they're going to trim back that many feet. So if we have a fast growing species that grow, say, three or four feet a year, and we're going to be back in two years, we're going to trim that back three feet times two, plus the additional three feet. So we're looking at about a 10 foot trim on that.   Dan Seguin  10:49 Nick, pruning, and especially removal of interfering trees, often causes controversy. In an age of climate change and environmental responsibility, what do you tell folks that object to or have concerns about the important work you do to help keep the lights on and the trees safe?   Nick Levac  11:15 Yeah, that's a great question. We, you know, I think you hit the last word there. And your question kind of hits on our main goal of everything that we do here at hydro is safety. So not only we're looking out for the public safety, ensuring that trees aren't coming down on the line and staying energized. But we're also looking to know for worker safety. So as we're going through, we try to do preventative maintenance, so to speak. So very much like you get your oil change in a car, or you put your winter tires on this time of year, we're trying to trim trees away from the lines to make sure they don't come in contact that avoids outages, unplanned outages, especially because, you know, it's one thing to get a phone call to say, Hey, your power is going to be out because we're doing preventative maintenance, whether it's tree trimming, or upgrading electrical system, it's another thing to wake up at two o'clock in the morning, after lights out, heat off and everything and it's unexpected, and you're trying to get ready, your kids are at home or whatever. So preventative maintenance is the big thing. And we try to educate our customers that what we're doing out there is really just to make sure that we can decrease outages and especially those unplanned outages. The other thing that we look at when we're pruning trees is the tree health. And I know Greg's going to get into this I think a little bit later on. But just looking at the species a tree and how we trimmed them to make sure that the health of the tree is also a huge interest for our arborists that are up there. They're all certified trained arborist with some extra training on the electrical side, because obviously we're turning around live electrical lines. But when they get up into a tree, they're looking at the health of the tree. There's a lot of stuff once they get up into the canopy of the tree that they notice that you can't see from the ground. So they're taking into account and they're taking out any deadwood or anything in there and tried to not only like I mentioned before getting those clearances that we need for the electrical side, but also trying to enhance the tree growth away from our lines and looking at the health of the tree by taking the deadwood or anything out of it.   Dan Seguin  13:16 Okay, so back to you, Greg. I know you trim trees on public property that are within three meters of an overhead line. But what about on a private property? Trees near utility lines inherently carry serious risk to property owners who may be injured or killed when working on trees near power lines. What are homeowners responsible for? And when should they call us, the utility, to arrange for their help? Like a planned outage? Basically, what do homeowners need to know?   Greg Tipman  13:57 Yeah, Dan. So when you're speaking about kind of responsibilities on vegetation maintenance, Hydro Ottawa was responsible for the pole, the pole wire, and vegetation maintenance. The area around the high voltage wire that hydro trims as part of our responsibility is 10 feet from the primary which is usually the very top wire running pole, as well as about a three foot clearance around our low voltage or secondary wires. And again, that's the pole the pole wires just want to make that a bold statement. That's Hydro's responsibility as part of our maintenance package. Kind of like Nick was touching up on and that's that that happens, pending what grid what year, you know, two to three years central, within kind of the city core versus the outer rural areas. If a customer is looking to have work done on their tree which is growing out into their private property, and it's near our overhead wires, Hydro comes in free of charge, we get it clear 10 feet 10 feet back debris would stay on site. And then it would be the homeowners responsibility to either cut the tree down themselves hire private tree contractor, or if they wanted, they could also hire Hydro Ottawa, do our work for others program, and we would write them out a formal tree quote. And they would, they would pay an additional cost for that, that work that's outside of our regular maintenance scope. Now in regards to the wires running pole to house service wire, or if you're in a rural area, and it's a private primary wire, there's a couple options that they have for having those what those wires that vegetation trimmed out, they can either hire a private tree contractor, and Hydro Ottawa, or service department provides one free disconnect a year for any tree work. Little bit more legwork for the customer or the contractor to do, but it's an entirely viable option. The second option is they can again hire Hydro, to trim out their service wire to whatever specs we normally recommend it you know, it's a low voltage secondary wire to have about a three foot clearance on it, they want us to go with that option. I would write them out a formal tree quote, have all the details, proof of payment beforehand would be had. And then we would schedule in the customer an exact date. And they would essentially have the work done to what the quote was that they're paying for the work to be done and, and go from there. It's quite effective. We've gotten a lot of feedback from the customers about having their service wire trimmed down. And there's been a lot of good things to have come from having us on site. And just doing it all and not having to worry with them having to organize an outage on their house. So it's, it's been a good go.   Dan Seguin  17:03 Here's another one for you, Greg, went planting a young sapling, it's often difficult to imagine that in as few as 10 years, it could have a significant impact on the landscape with an expanding canopy as a homeowner or a landscaper. If you're planting a new tree, how important is it to contact your utility service provider? To discuss your plan? Do you have any tree planting advice? Or some good resources on what to plant? And where?   Greg Tipman  17:40 Yes, yes. So basically, Hydro Ottawa has a really good source on our internet page. Basically, just type in Google Hydro Ottawa Tree Planting Advice, and it's a pamphlet that's been put on to the internet and it has everything for suggestions of where the tree should be planted, what type of species is it? How tall? Will it grow? How wide will the canopy grow? How many feet back from an overhead wire should be planted? It has a breakdown of you know, species names, what soils are best to be planted in? You know, like I said, their typical growth structure in relation to overhead wires. And there's also advice given on planting around underground wires, which a lot of people you know, you don't see them, you don't really think they're there. But they are, you know, most people just see the, you know, the green box, the ground transformer, if you will, but where are the wires going? Which, which way Can I can I plant and whatnot. So it's a really great resource has a lot of information, a lot of diagrams. Definitely check it out. And then another great option would be just put a call in, have myself or Nick show up. And, you know, we can tell you, you know, basically where, what, what's the lay of the land? What is your yard showing you? You know, are there other trees in the neighborhood or in your yard, you can get a very good look just from seeing what's out there, what to expect. And then and then go from there.   Dan Seguin  19:29 Okay, we'll actually have for our listeners in the show notes. We'll have links to all of these publications and the actual section on the website. So definitely we'll drive traffic there. Because the last thing I think we want is for me to put your extension number, your mobile number and have 100 calls tomorrow.   Greg Tipman  19:51 There we go. I like push it all in there.   Dan Seguin  19:56 Okay, Nick. This next question might be in your wheelhouse. A power outage occurs when there's a direct contact between two conducting lines with face to face. Or by providing a path for electricity to travel to the ground. There are several other ways that vegetation, trees in particular, can cause power outages, wondering if you could expand on those causes and how utilities and folks in your profession mitigate that?   Nick Levac  20:35 Yeah, it's an interesting question. It's obviously something we look at all the time. And that's our biggest goal within our department is to mitigate those outages. And I actually came from a background in the lines department as a power line maintainer for 10 years and swung over and got into working with the veg. management program. And, you know, I'd say it's a really good partnership that we have right now, not only with, with Greg and our other utility forestry inspectors, but along with our contractor Asplund who's doing the work for us. And, you know, that's a constant conversation that we're having weekend week out. And not only are we reviewing any outages that might have occurred the week before and trying to follow up on those to see why those power outages occurred and how we can hopefully prevent them from reoccurring. But within the system itself, the electrical system, we have, it's very much like your house where it's set up where we have different circuits all the way through the city. And within each circuit, we have different fusing, the further you get away from the substation. So the fuse in coordination can really help out if you have a tree that falls at the very end of that circuit, we have the fusion set up in a way that it's only going to go back to the next device downstream. And if everything is working properly, that fuse will open up and it'll really shrink the size of that outage rather than going all the way back to the substation. So if you can imagine if you have 1000 customers on a circuit, and you have 10, different fuses all the way down, and that last one blows, you're going away affect 100 people instead of 1000 people. Also, within our system, we have devices called reclosers. So I'm sure many listeners have had their lights flicker on and off two or three times. And then unfortunately, after that third flicker, the power does stay off permanently. That means that there's a bigger issue on the line and that reclosure could self-clear. So those devices are there. For momentary outages, when they see a spike in amperage, they'll open up the circuit and give time for that tree or whatever that foreign interference is to clear itself. And then close back in with the hopes that once it closes back in that power will stay on. If it senses that it's still there, it'll open back up again. Hopefully allow it to clear a little bit longer closed back in again. And hopefully the second time's a charm. Unfortunately, sometimes that doesn't work. And then you experienced that outage, kind of the last kind of protection in the whole stream of protection devices is that circuit breaker back at the station. That's kind of the worst case if we see a circuit open up. That means that there's a major problem. Usually, like you mentioned there, there's a phase two phase kind of issue where two conductors have slapped together. And that's kind of what causes the biggest outage, that's when we know we have a large problem. And the other issue with that is because our circuits are so long, some of them you know, in the downtown core where we have more substations, it's a little bit easier to find because you know, the circuit might only be say a kilometer or two long, but if you get out into the rural Orleans, Kanata, down south - though, manotick, nepean area, you can have, you know, 10-15-20 kilometers a line. So, if your circuit breaker and your station opens up, that means that somewhere between your station and the end of the line is your problem. So there are fault indicators and stuff on your line that can help pinpoint it. But it definitely can make it more challenging when you're when you're starting back at your substation not having to patrol 20 kilometers a line versus if that fuse opens at the very end of your line, you know, okay, it's the last section within that line. The other thing that can really help us out is the customers in the field. So a lot of times we'll get calls in and it's great to get that information and Hydro Ottawa is very active on social media and that that definitely helps if, if a customer sees a problem if they see a line down if they see a bright blue flash if they hear a large loud bang. You know, first and foremost, let us know don't ever approach downed wires Stay away, even trees that could be leaning up against the wire. But I and I mentioned this before, just because the trees against the wire if that wire still energized that could potentially energize that trees, we want to make sure we stay back, you know. Stay back 10 meters from that tree stay back 10 meters from that electrical line because you don't know if it's on, or if it's still alive. So your safety is first and foremost, call in, call 911, if there's any, you know, immediate hazard fire, police can come in and assist, they will get a hold of our system office right away and direct us to that. Or if it's something that's, you know, a little bit less and you think that hydro should know, we have lots of different social media channels you can reach out on. And let us know. And that really does help because that information does find its way down to the crews in the fields. And it helps us get to the outage and find that problem that's causing the damage that much quicker.   Dan Seguin  25:51 Yeah, for sure. I know, historically, we've had customers actually send us photos on Twitter. Yeah, that we could actually send systems office so they can actually identify, they would know exactly where that is. And they helped out the guys on like the field workers.   Nick Levac  26:06 Yeah, no, that's, that's great. And I mean, I was, I was on that first response truck there 24/7crew for multiple years. And it was great. I mean, you know, when the days are getting darker and the nights it's in the middle of night, the last thing you want to do is be trying to find, find an outage and or the cause of an outage. And it's kind of like finding a needle in a haystack sometimes out there. So anything from the customers is a great help.   Dan Seguin  26:35 Yeah, definitely. Okay, in addition to being a qualified arborist, Greg, you also have extensive knowledge about electricity. Can you talk about this dual role and special qualifications that you have? How dangerous is your job? And do you work around live electricity at high voltage?   Greg Tipman  26:59 Yeah, Dan. So just a little background on my schooling and qualifications. I did my forestry technologist diploma at Algonquin - a two year program. And then from there, I moved out to BC to work on some really big trees. And while out there, I morphed into the utility side of tree work. And that's where I went and did my apprenticeship program. From there, you need approximately 4000 hours just to qualify, the program's a two year program, you've accumulated about 6000 hours around of live line clearing, working around the wires, you'll learn how it looks just all the basics, electricity, how it works, how to identify the equipment, that coupled with your actual tree work in the tree, the tools, special tools you'll be using, so dielectrically tools, how to operate bucket trucks, so on and so forth. Rigging big chunks of wood down in trees, how to do it safely, and all the while in close proximity to these overhead high voltage wires. It's very dangerous. I mean, you couple your, you know, 30-40-50-60 feet up hanging by ropes, you're using a chainsaw to cut wood. Plus, you have a live line that's, you know, five, six feet away from you. So it's definitely very dangerous. But the schooling, the on the job training that you get just, you know, old hands, showing you the techniques, the up to date, safety standards, and whatnot. It makes your comfort level something that would never, you know, come natural to you become second nature. So it's, it's definitely a process, it's definitely building the confidence over time. And then, you know, taking classes, learning whether it's through the International Society of arboriculture on the tree side of things for tree health, you know, one of the tree species tree biology pests, you know, a lot of times customers will ask, you know, why is my tree dying? What Why is it declining? A lot of times people will think, Oh, it's Hydro Ottawa you trimmed the tree incorrectly. Well, no, it's, you know, a pest infestation or you did some landscaping or whatnot, the roots have been killed and whatnot. So it's learning all that you know, information and coupling it and pairing it with the electrical side of things that it really makes for a harmonious job and, you know, a great aspect to keep learning There's always new information, new research coming out on trees and the electrical side of things you know, and then just basically, you know, having the resources also at Hydro Ottawa, it makes that partnership that much better for getting the work done and done safely.   Dan Seguin  30:24 So Greg, I've seen some amazing footage of folks in your profession climbing pretty high in trees. So besides not having a fear of heights. What's that like? And what's your favorite thing about your job? Have you ever been surprised by some birds or squirrels? Or, you know, have they surprised you? Or have you surprised them?   Greg Tipman  30:49 Yeah, so kind of, like I was touching on there. I mean, the fear of heights is not was never really the big deal. It was more trusting your gear. Knowing that you know what a 10-12 millimeter diameter rope is going to hold you and your gear. You know, it's going to hold, you know, wood swinging around and whatnot, it's not going to break off, you know that your knots have been tied correctly, they're not going to come undone, you're going to fall to your death and get injured or whatnot. Those were kind of the first fears to really get over. But once you get that it's practice, the more you do it, the more you get comfortable doing it. The more you feel safe and secure. I've definitely had some weird, interesting animal encounters while working in the trees. I've had birds land on my head and stay there while working. I've had raccoons, you know, climb out of hollows. I've had bats, you know, fly out from underneath bark. But probably the scariest was wasn't in the tree yet. But we're doing some ground slash in BC and probably 10-12 feet away. A black bear just goes running right by and yeah, it was exhilarating. But it was done in a flash and yeah, nothing. Nothing more. But you know, it definitely, you know, could have been a different interesting situation had it been a, you know, an angry bear, if you will. Yeah, for the most part. It's the job. You get to see nature all the time. And there's always something great to see, animal wise.   Dan Seguin  32:33 Cool. Okay, both. Are you ready to tag team here and close us off with some rapid fire questions?   Greg Tipman  32:43 Definitely.   Nick Levac  32:43 Yep.   Dan Seguin  32:45 Greg, what is your favorite tree?   Greg Tipman  32:48 Can I give you four Dan?   Dan Seguin  32:51 Sure. Why not?   Greg Tipman  32:53 So Eastern white pine. The monkey puzzle tree. Giant Sequoia and the Charlie Brown Christmas tree.   Dan Seguin  33:03 Okay, that's good. Yeah, we I might ask you to provide the links. So I can direct listeners to those trees. Nick, what is one thing you can't live without?   Nick Levac  33:18 That's an easy one. It's got to be my family. My two girls at home my lovely wife and, and probably a good cup of coffee or a nice Americano in the morning just to get things going.   Dan Seguin  33:29 Cool. Greg, what habit or hobby? Have you picked up during shelter in place?   Greg Tipman  33:37 Probably flying and crashing my drone.   Dan Seguin  33:43 Okay, yeah.   Greg Tipman  33:44 A little more practice.   Dan Seguin  33:47 Yeah, more practice! Nick, if you could have one superpower, what would it be?   Nick Levac  33:56 Ah, you know what I think never to age physically. Only in wisdom. The body's getting a little bit older and every you know, every time I go out and try to play hockey or do something now I wake up a little bit sore in the morning so I could keep my physical health. Maybe back when I was in my 20s. That would be amazing.   Dan Seguin  34:17 And what about you, Greg?   Greg Tipman  34:25 Maybe just unlimited superpowers.   Dan Seguin  34:28 All of them,   Greg Tipman  34:29 All of them!   Dan Seguin  34:30 Okay. Back to you, Nick. If you could turn back time and talk to your 18 year old self. What would you tell them?   Nick Levac  34:40 You know, I'd probably try to let them in on a couple of neat, you know, world events that were going to take place between then and then when they're my age now and just make Tell him to go there. Make sure he's present and no matter what the cost is. Sometimes you only get a once in a lifetime chance to see things and make sure he gets there to experience that life live.   Dan Seguin  35:05 Okay. And lastly, this one is for both. What do you currently find most interesting in your sector? I'll start with Greg.   Greg Tipman  35:15 It's a, it's really the day to day change, there's always a different challenge that's coming up, you're always in a different location dealing with different people. So it's never, you know, a monotonous job, it's, it's always fluid, there's always something new.   Dan Seguin  35:34 Okay, what about you, Nick.   Nick Levac  35:35 I, what excites me the most coming down the pipe, I think is the technology that hopefully we're going to be exposed to, I mean, Greg mentioned, crashing his drone, but you know, just even stuff like that, and us being able to fly over our overhead lines and really take a good snapshot of what that vegetation looks like within our city. And, and what we can do to kind of have a good mix between, you know, maintaining that urban canopy in Ottawa, and then also at the same time keeping the electricity on and if we can use different types of technology that's coming down the pipe to find a balance between the two that we can get out and, and proactively trim trees because we know exactly where they are. And also keep that urban canopy for that for customers here in Ottawa. I think there's a there's an interesting mix coming down, how we can leverage that technology to our advantage.   Dan Seguin  36:27 Okay, Nick, Greg, we reached the end of another episode of The ThinkEnergy podcast. I hope you had a lot of fun. And thank you very much for joining me today. I hope you I hope you enjoyed it.   Greg Tipman  36:42 Thanks again for having us, Dan.   Nick Levac  36:44 Yes, thank you, Dan.   Dan Seguin  36:48 Thank you for joining us today.

This famous saying attributed to Thomas Fuller in 1650 can really be found in the Zohar in the Torah portion just read this past Shabbat called Vayishlach. In that Torah portion after Yaacov (Jacob) wrestles with an angel all night that angel asks to be release because dawn is about to break. There is an interesting connection to this story and Chanukah which begins this week on Thursday at sundown. Chanukah s all about lighting up the darkness and doing it one day at a time.

«La desesperación infunde valor al cobarde», dijo alguna vez el historiador Thomas Fuller, y estas elecciones a la presidencia de Estados Unidos han sacado la verdadera sustancia de la que está hecho el candidato republicano Donald Trump, quien a través de su cuenta de Twitter –@realDonaldTrump– ha manifestado su estado de ánimo ante, lo que podría ser, su derrota.

Voters across the country appear to have leaned left on many ballot initiatives, including voting to decriminalize heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine and other drugs in Oregon. But in California, voters rejected a ballot measure that would strike down the state's ban on affirmative action. Thomas Fuller, San Francisco bureau chief for The New York Times, ticks through these and other ballot initiatives from around the country.

Even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you. Psalms 139:12 ESV Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.” John 8:12 NLTIn him was life, and the life was the light of men. John 1:4This little light of mine...“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16 ESVWe are given and called to carry a different kind of light.You have to Know the light to show the light. You can know light exist and still stumble in the dark.As to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Philippians 3:6-7 ESVZeal without knowledge is like fire without light. - Thomas FullerNo one after lighting a lamp covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. Luke 8:16 ESVIn a futile attempt to erase our past, we deprive the community of our healing gift. If we conceal our wounds out of fear and shame, our inner darkness can neither be illuminated nor become a light for others. - Brennan Manning, Abba's ChildTo hide the light is to hoard the light, and ultimately to choose darkness instead of light.Even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you. Psalms 139:12 ESVThe Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. John 1:5 NASBLight is to darkness what love is to fear; in the presence of one the other disappears. - Sir Francis BaconVery early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed. And he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. Mark 16:2-6 ESV

REFLECTION QUOTES “I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.” ~Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), lawyer and 16th President of the United States “In the long run, the sharpest weapon of all is a kind and gentle spirit.” ~Anne Frank (1929-1945), German-Dutch diarist and Holocaust victim “Students are hungry for truth, for beauty, for goodness….” “Where are the love warriors? …that teach our young people (no matter what color!): Put love and justice in your struggle; and get that revenge out! But we acknowledge the pain.” ~Cornel West, Harvard, Princeton and Dartmouth (visiting) professor “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” ~Hebrews 11:1 (ESV) “The word hope I take for faith; and indeed hope is nothing else but the constancy of faith.” ~John Calvin (1509-1564), Swiss theologian, pastor and reformer “Hope can see through the thickest clouds.” ~Thomas Brooks (1608-1680), English pastor and author “Hope is the only tie which keeps the heart from breaking.” ~Thomas Fuller (1608-1661), English pastor and historian “Hope fills the afflicted soul with such inward joy and consolation, that it can laugh while tears are in the eye, sigh and sing all in a breath; it is called “the rejoicing of hope” (Hebrews 3:6).” ~William Gurnall (1616-1679), English pastor and author “There is a difference between tears of hope and tears of hopelessness.” ~Erwin Lutzer, Canadian-American pastor and author “But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars.” ~Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968), pastor and slain civil rights leader “We're not defined by…history, but we have to acknowledge it, and…people of faith have a leadership role in causing the rest of the nation to believe that we can get to someplace better. Redemption is still available, but we have to repent, we have to give voice to our failings. Repentance breeds redemption. Collectively, as a Church, we need to do that.” ~Bryan Stevenson, lawyer and founder of the Equal Justice Initiative SERMON PASSAGE James 5:7-12 (ESV) James 4 13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— 14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. James 5 1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you. 2 Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. 3 Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days. 4 Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. 5 You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person. He does not resist you. 7 Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. 8 You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. 9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the door. 10 As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful. 12 But above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or by any other oath, but let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation.

Thomas Fuller was 14 when he was taken from Africa in 1724. As an American slave who became an international genius, he proved to the world that skin color does not determine one's intelligence.  You can find the transcripts as well as blogs on the history of math and science on my Website at www.MathScienceHistory.com. And while you're there, please feel free to buy me a cup of coffee, because every cup of coffee keeps my podcast up and running!  Until next week, Carpe Diem!!

New York City is the densest city in the US. The runner up is San Francisco. NYC has more than 10,000 COVID-19 deaths. As of Monday, San Francisco had 15. Not 15,000. Fifteen people. California got hit with COVID-19 first, but they didn't get hit hard. We explore why, and what places like New York can learn from their approach. On Today's Show:As states begin to weigh how to enter people back into the workforce, Thomas Fuller, San Francisco bureau chief for The New York Times, discusses how California is approaching the move and what New York can learn from the state and Moritz Kraemer, scholar and researcher of epidemiology at Oxford University, joins to discuss what we know about how the virus has spread worldwide.

The bushfires raging in Australia have burned more than 25 million acres of land, taken the lives of at least 29 people and killed an estimated 1 billion animals. On Friday, the Australian government urged nearly a quarter of a million people to evacuate their homes. These reports of wildfires, evacuations and loss are all too familiar to many Californians, as New York Times San Francisco bureau chief Thomas Fuller notes in his recent story. Fuller, who's covered the wildfires in California, flew to Australia to report on the devastating fires. He joins Forum from Sydney to share some of his observations.

This time around Trio5 is coming at you with a couple of different topics like what seems to be a possible war between the United States and Iran. Blood has been drawn, intentions have been made clear there is nothing left up to interpretation between the two parties. Under the order of President Donald Trump, we have moved with forward with not just necessarily an act against Iran it was more so an act against terrorists. Like the famous quote states "Americans don't negotiate with terrorists".  Now in what will, unfortunately, become a game of chess between the two parties if there's a war we need to see what the next move from Iran will be.Australia fires. Oh my please leats take a moment to pray for everything Australian, they need all the love they can possibly get. Australia has been impacted in so many ways due to this catastrophe, you read the stories and see the numbers on what's going on and honestly, it's truly unbelievable. No wonder it's taking such a drastic effort and resources from Australia's part to make sure that they can contain the situation that they're in as best as possible. New York Times has a great article by Livia Albeck-Ripka, Isabella Kwai, Thomas Fuller and Jamie Tarabay detailing the Australian fires that I'm going to post right under.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/04/world/australia/fires-military.htmlImagine having the power of being able to change one huge moment in history but this means you would never be born, would you do it and what would it be? Imagine being able to change Hitler, Ted Bundy, Any bad star wars movie from coming out or Grey's Anatomy killing of Derek Shepard! Im not going to lie though just saying fuck it and letting everything take its course naturally too doesn't seem like the worst idea in the world seeing as "Were all fucked anyways".  

Thomas Fuller (Gnightmoon) and I talk this week's main slate like a couple of touts.  This conversation came after an hour about the process, which I will publish soon.  

“All things are difficult before they are easy” -Thomas Fuller Are all things difficult before they are easy? If this is true, what are the strategies we can deploy to accomplish more? Are some things inherently easy? Is easy the goal? Would the world be a better place if everything was easy? What in your life is difficult today that you would want to be easy? How can you transform that which is difficult to easy?

Alguien me dijo: “No he estado tan cerca de Dios como ahora que estoy pasando por esta enfermedad”. Thomas Fuller dijo: “La salud no se valora hasta que llega la enfermedad”. El tener salud es una bendición que muchas veces tomamos a la ligera. Sin embargo, debemos actuar y decidir bien en cuanto al cuidado de nuestro cuerpo, porque lo que hagamos hoy tendrá efectos permanentes en nuestra salud. La enfermedad en sí es una muestra de que nuestro cuerpo se va desmejorando gradualmente. En cada segundo que pasa nuestro cuerpo instintivamente sufre cambios mínimos y otros progresivos. Las enfermedades tienen una raíz y se llama pecado. La Palabra de Dios dice que por el pecado entró la muerte. Con esto no quiero decir que si te encuentras enfermo es porque es el resultado de un pecado en particular. Lo que quiero decir es que día tras día nuestro cuerpo se muere y lentamente nos acercamos más al momento donde estaremos siempre con nuestro Creador. Pero, ¿qué hacer si estamos enfermos? Buscar la manera de examinar dicha enfermedad, bien sea física o emocional, para buscar el tratamiento adecuado. Seguir con los cuidados indicados para experimentar una mejoría. Esperar en Dios y confiar en Él si los médicos y profesionales no encuentran qué hacer. Por último, cuidar siempre nuestro cuerpo como una prioridad. La Biblia dice en 1 de Corintios 6:19, “19 ¿No se dan cuenta de que su cuerpo es el templo del Espíritu Santo, quien vive en ustedes y les fue dado por Dios? Ustedes no se pertenecen a sí mismos” (NTV).

Dr. Thomas Fuller on, "John 13 - Jesus Washes the Disciples' Feet" from Tuesday Campus Worship on 5 April 2016

Thomas Fuller was the longtime Southeast Asia correspondent for the New York Times. He's now based in San Francisco, but his last posting from the region caught my attention. Fuller describes a scene in which he is interviewing the leader of a protest in Thailand, when that leader is gunned down right in front of him. That experience leads him to his conclusion of the piece: a rampant culture of impunity is threatening the region's otherwise impressive gains. We discuss some of Fuller's other reporting from the region, including an incredible story last year in which he helped track down a boat full of Rohingya migrants stranded in the Andaman Sea.   This is a great episode. Fuller describes how he got started in journalism, some adventures from his early career working at the International Herald Tribune in France and how and why he feels such a deep bond with South East Asia.       

REFLECTION QUOTES “…he was also a man of large public spirit whom doing good to his fellow man was a pleasure—one almost might say a passion…” ~Said of Benjamin Lee Guinness (1795-1868), Guinness & Company “In every deliberation, we must consider the impact on the seventh generation… even if it requires having skin as thick as the bark of a pine.” ~The Great Law of the Iroquois Confederacy “The sluggard says, ‘There is a lion in the road! A lion is in the open square!' As the door turns on its hinges, So does the sluggard on his bed. The sluggard buries his hand in the dish; He is weary of bringing it to his mouth again. The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes Than seven men who can give a discreet answer.” ~Proverbs 26:13-16 “The real difference between men is energy. A strong will, a settled purpose, and invincible determination, can accomplish almost anything; and in this lies the distinction between great men and little men.” ~Thomas Fuller (1608-1661), English preacher, historian, and author “The difference between perseverance and obstinacy is, that one often comes from a strong will, and the other from a strong won't.” ~Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887), American clergyman “[Philip Seymour Hoffman] hated what he was good at. It tormented him. I think he wanted to be so good, but it was such a difficult place…to get to. It had to all come from the inside.” ~Anton Corbijn, Dutch photographer and film director, on the lead actor of his latest film “Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see Dust in the wind, all we are is dust in the wind.” ~Kerry Livgren in “Dust in the Wind” (1977) SERMON PASSAGE Genesis 1:26-28, 31 26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 31 God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day. Genesis 2:1-2:3, 5, 7-8, 15-17 1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. 2 By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made. 5 Now no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground…. 7 Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. 8 The Lord God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden…. 15 Then the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it. 16 The Lord God commanded the man, saying, “From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; 17 but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die.” Genesis 3:16-19, 23-24 16 To the woman He said, “I will greatly multiply Your pain in childbirth, In pain you will bring forth children….” 17 Then to Adam He said, “Because you…have eaten from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat from it'; Cursed is the ground because of you; In toil you will eat of it All the days of your life. 18 “Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; And you will eat the plants of the field; 19 By the sweat of your face You will eat bread, Till you return to the ground, Because from it you were taken; For you are dust, And to dust you shall return.” 23 Therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to cultivate the ground from which he was taken. 24 So He drove the man out; and at the east of the garden of Eden He stationed the cherubim and the flaming sword which turned every direction to guard the way to the tree of life. Colossians 3:23-24 23 Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance. It is the Lord Christ whom you serve. 1 Corinthians 15:58 58 So my dear brothers and sisters, stand strong. Do not let anything move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your toil in the Lord is never wasted.
