Wiadomości dnia w Radio RAMPA – dzisiaj jest 16 sierpnia 2019 roku1)Polonia: 25 sierpnia w Garfield odbędzie się XXX, jubileuszowy turniej piłkarski im. Kazimierza Deyny. Turniej zwieńczony będzie meczem towarzyskim drużyny Adam Kownackiego z Nowego Jorku kontra drużyna Tomasza Adamka z New Jersey o godz. 4:30 p.m. Wstęp wolny. Więcej informacji na stronie www.RadioRAMPA.com2)Nowy Jork: od rana w piątek policja w Nowym Jorku badała podejerzane urządzenia, które znalezione były przy stacji metra Fulton na dolnym Manhattanie a także przy Siódmej Aleji i 16. ulicy. Obawiano się, że są to domowej roboty bomby, ale były to puste urządzenia do gotowania ryżu pod ciśnieniem. Policja bada czy dwa incydenty są połączone. Aktywność policji doprowadziła do opóźnienia pracy dziewięciu linii metra. Policja szuka osoby odpowiedzialnej. W 2017 roku, niedoszły zamachowiec samobójca wysadził domowej roboty urządzenie wybuchowe w przejściu podziemnym między stacjami metra, raniąc siebie. 3)USA – Prezydent Donald Trumo chce od Dani kupić... Grenlandię! Prezydent mówił o takim pomyśle już kilka razy, ale jak podaje CNN, jego doradcy faktycznie sprawdzili taką możliwość. Rząd Greenlandi powiedział w piątek, że Grenlandia nie jest na sprzedaż. Stany Zjednoczone chciały już w przeszłości kupić wyspę, w 1867 roku, oraz w czasie Drugiej Wojny Światowej. Grenlandia jest niezależnym terytorium Danii, jest jednak domem dla Thule Air Base, najbardziej na północ wysuniętej bazy wojska amerykańskiego. 4)ŚWIAT – Korea Północna wystrzeliła dwie rakiety krótkiego zasięgu w piątek rano, zaledwie kilka minut przed tym jak Pjongczang zapowiedział zerwanie dialogu z Seulem i odniósł się do Prezydenta Korei Południowej jako „bezczelny człowiek”. Wystrzelenie rakiet nastąpiło zaledwie dzien po tym jak Prezydent Korei Południowej zadeklarował, że chciałby zjednocznyć półwysep koreański do 2045 roku – 100 rocznice niepodległości Korei. Przedstawiciele Korei Północnej nazwali te uwagi bezmyślnymi i naiwnymi. 5)Polska: jak podaje IAR, 100 lat temu masakra w Mysłowicach i niezadowolenie Ślązaków z postanowień Traktatu Wersalskiego spowodowało wybuch I Powstania Śląskiego. Choć zryw został szybko stłumiony to wysłał w świat wiadomość o gotowości do walki o włączenie Górnego Śląska do Polski. W związku z obchodami stulecia Powstań Śląskich wczoraj w Katowicach odbyły się uroczystości związane Świętem Wojska Polskiego w tym defilada "Wierni Polsce"

Today's story: The Air Force Chief of Staff General David Goldfein recently visited Airmen at Thule Air Base, Greenland.

This is the first episode in a series that will delve into the role that the far north played in the Cold War. This episode deals with Operation Bluejay, the construction of Thule Air Base in Greenland in 1951. From here we'll explore everything that Thule allowed the U.S. Army and Air Force to do in the farthest reaches of the Arctic. 

Is the U.S. military silent about a mysterious fireball which exploded over Greenland, because it defeated America's premier missile defense technology? Today on TruNews, Rick debate the origin of the near nuclear sized explosion in proximity of Thule Air Base, and addresses other powder kegs waiting to explode: Turkey, Iran, and the future of the Palestinian people.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-385 – Brian Burke's Running Adventures (Audio: link) audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4385.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello and welcome to the RunRunLive Podcast episode 4-385.  This is Chris, your host.  Who am I?  I don't really know.  But, I'm working on it.  And I'm hopeful.  In this podcast we talk about endurance sports and other complimentary topics that can help you find succor in your life.  We have been doing it for 10+ years now.  It's been a fine ride. Been quite a spring so far hasn't it?  Boston was epic.  I got a lot of positive feedback on the race report.  Thank you.  I took a little extra time putting my thoughts together there so I'm glad it resonated.  I wanted to tell a good story and see if I could put you in it, so you could live the story with me.  Particularly rewarding for me was to hear from others that were in the race and have them say “You nailed it!” and forward the post to their friends.  Eric is putting together a video from what he could reclaim form the race and he's going to use part of my audio to support the video story.  His camera is waterproof, but it was raining so hard the water got into the microphone and essentially muted it.  I recovered fine from the race.  No problems. Got busy trying to make up for all the bad eating and drinking I had been holding at bay during the training cycle! Last weekend we held our 27th Groton Road Race.  We got a bit of rain, but it was very successful.  We had good numbers this year, the shirt was great, and people seemed to really enjoy the earlier starting times.  The cooler temps made for some good race times.  I ‘ran' the race on Saturday this year, really just jogged it.  But, good enough to get my name in the results to keep my 27-year streak going.  We stopped to pick up trash and other things.  Even after I led a crew to clean up the course the previous weekend, there is always a few fresh beer cans that we have to police up.  Teresa set a PR in the 10K this year.  She ran it in 53 minutes.  That beats my official time of the day before.  Good for her.  It is great to be young. I've launched into my training cycle for the 100 miler this week after a couple light recovery weeks.  I'll be running 3 days of middle distance during the week then back-to-back distance on the weekends.  All of it on trails.  I've been getting up this week and heading out into the trails early.  I take Buddy the Extremely old Wonder Dog for the first 2 miles than I head back out.  It's beautiful in the trails in the morning.  The sun comes up around 5:40 and I've been getting out by 6:00.  Really nice.  You should try it.  Today we have a conversation with Brian Burk who is a an ultra-runner with many adventures to his credit and is also a writer.  In section one I am going to read you an old post on how to recover from a marathon because I thought that might be timely for people.  In section two I'm going to talk about future narratives and red blood cells.  A bit of the old vinny-vin-vino.  … I've been exploring a meditation site called ‘Calm'.  They have a free 7-day beginners program where the guided sessions are about 10 minutes long.  A lot of it is exposition, i.e. instruction, but it's a good basic introduction to breathing meditation.  is particularly good.  Or at least I found it resonated.  It addresses the ability to let go of the need to do something.  It's primarily a phone app, but I went to the website instead.  As an extra-bonus of the web site they have a looping white noise track that is pretty good for concentration enhancement that plays automatically. But, I digress.  I recommend you find a quiet place and listen to the day 5 session.  (Ironically I stopped to take some quick notes so I wouldn't forget to tell you about it!) We all have our lists and impending deadlines and these things tend to push us through life by creating tension that drives us to do stuff.  But that causes us to rush through life without looking out the window to see what is going on within and without.  This session explains how to shut that rush to do things down and how that gives you a healthier perspective.  And ‘perspective' is the correct word.  Because, through focus you can observe the scurrying of the mind to get things done, and without judgement, know it for what it is.  You gain an awareness that you don't have to fill every moment with something.  That there is a value of non-doing.  Through practice you learn to give yourself permission to pause.  Learn how to give yourself permission to pause.  But not now! We have to get… On with the show! … I'll remind you that the RunRunLive podcast is ad free and listener supported.  What does that mean?

Since that time with a lot of help and inspiration from the running community he has raced distances from 5k up to and including three 100 Mile races and nine 24 hour events.  Some of Brian's achievements and personal bests are: Marathon 3hr 53m 47s Umstead 100 miler, 21hr 36m 36s Graveyard 100 miler solo 23hr 05m 05s Grand Canyon Rim2Rim2Rim 19hrs 30m JFK50 Miler: 9hrs 36m 27s With a passion for writing Brian has had two features published in a national running magazine, on various running blogs and on his own at briansrunningadventures.com.  Brian's first novel, Running to Leadville, a fictional story about running the Leadville Trail 100 has been well received by runners and non-runners alike.  His second book 26.2 Tips to run your best MARATHON, will help you shave time off your race results with running any faster.  You can follow Brian on Twitter @cledawgs  Instagram @cledawgs and Facebook at Brians Running Adventures.   Section two – The importanceof narrating the future – http://runrunlive.com/the-importance-of-communicating-a-future-narrative   Outro My friends you have stumbled through the finisher chute of episode 4-385 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  Time to get something to eat, rest those feet and treat those blisters. We switched from winter to summer up here.  I went out at lunch for 6 miles of easy road work yesterday and it was in the high 80's Fahrenheit.  I wanted to see how it felt.  I tried to convince my body that the heat wasn't uncomfortable or even unknown, just a new thing, or a remembered thing to run with.  It wasn't bad.  My Plantar Fasciitis is flaring up right now.  I think it's a combination of things, but I have to keep an eye on it.  Make sure it doesn't' go chronic on me.  I have a couple back to back long runs this weekend in the trails and we'll see how it feels out the other end of that.  Have another podcast tip for you… With these longer runs I have a need for some long-form content.  I listened to a great interview of Irish poet ”.  This is one of those podcasts where you have to read the notes and see if the topic or person is really something you want to stick in your head.  Some of it is not for me.  But the interview of Michael Longley was chock full of wisdom.  Nuggets like “self-importance engraves its own headstone”, and “art and poetry require a certain insouciance”.  The episode is called “ the vitality of ordinary things”.  Maybe it was the heat, but I very much enjoyed the wisdom when I was out on my lunch run yesterday. Ok my friends, I have to go, but remember you have my permission to pause and when you pause to remember the magic in ordinary things.  And thank you all for the compliments on my Boston piece.  As the poet says, ‘It's ok to accept compliments, but don't inhale them.” I'll see you out there.

Ok my friends, I have to go, but remember you have my permission to pause and when you pause to remember the magic in ordinary things.  And thank you all for the compliments on my Boston piece.  As the poet says, ‘It’s ok to accept compliments, but don’t inhale them.” I’ll see you out there.
