Before you even get to the “President of the U.S.” part of your voter ballot, there may be an “advisory referendum” you'll be asked to weigh in on. Then at some point, you'll have the option to weigh in on pages and pages of judges. Then there's that office of the county circuit clerk – but what does that person even do? And what even is the Water Reclamation District, and why are you being asked about it? Reset demystifies your Election Day ballot with Tony Arnold, WBEZ government and politics editor, and WBEZ education reporter Sarah Karp. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.

Illinois' primary election is March 19th, but early voting starts as early as next week. Do you know where you're voting? Or how to vote by mail? Whether you're a long-time resident or new to the area, WBEZ's primary guide's got you covered. Reset learns more from WBEZ government and politics editor Tony Arnold.

Garden designer and professional gardener Alan Mason was a founder member of the Professional Gardeners' Guild. He became chairman 45 years later, taking over from Tony Arnold in September 2022."I avoided being chairman for as long as possible", he says. " I was vice chairman. I had been treasurer. I had been secretary, but it was never my desire to become chairman. It just happened."He has enjoyed the support of the "fabulous team" on the committee around him and says "in the last 12 months particularly there have been some very exciting developments. It's a great place to be at the moment."He talks about the focus for the Guild, which, as with all trade associations, is how to drive up the membership and also how best to serve it. The importance of visiting each others gardens and learning ways to cope with pest and diseases, planting tips and the like from other head gardeners is still key: "There's more information to be gleaned from other head gardeners than there is from Google."He wanted to be a footballer, but while waiting for his break, began a four-year horticultural apprenticeship and studied with the Institute of Groundsmanship and later Askham Bryan College. "I thought I might become a groundsman. Surely I'll get spotted kicking a football at lunchtime. I'll be playing for England in a fortnight. It never happened."After completing his studies he landed the job of head gardener at Bramham Park, a French style garden where in some ways, his learning was just beginning:"I always said I learnt more in the first six months as a head gardener than I had in eight years at college. And that's not meant to be a slur on what they taught me at Askham Bryan. It's just that when you're in position, you have to learn."Castle Howard's Brian Hutchinson formed the Professional Gardeners Guild around this time and Alan was offered the gardener's manager's job at Harewood House which is where he got his TV break when Yorkshire TV started filming there.After leaving Harewood in 1987 he set up a garden design business, got a contract in France, bought a 14th century manor house set in eight and a half acres and decided to create a garden there which Yorkshire TV (later on Channel 4) turned into Le Manoir - "and this was 25 years before Escape to the Chateau".Alan talks about PGG's work with horticultural charity Perennial and how he's looking to make links with other garden organisations including National Trust and Historic Houses.He's also involved with encouraging people into the industry via traineeships in collaboration with English Heritage, Historic and Botanic Gardens Trainee Programme and the MacRobert Trust. "It's so easy just to become an insular little group for head gardeners. And we don't want that at all. We want to be what Brian Hutchinson thought we should be at the very start, great for our own members, learning from each other."Alan talks about his view on pay grades for gardeners, financial pressures and how, post-Covid, many places have replaced professionals with volunteers."What the PGG does is offer a salaries and rates guideline...you can use that guideline to show to your employer...and very often it does help with negotiation."It is a negotiating tool, but it will never be perfect. But it is a great assistance. And I know that other professional bodies look to the PGG for our salaries and rates guideline and use it as a good example. Hosted on Acast.

Turning 64 today is Soft Cell instrumentalist Dave Ball. So, here's Tainted Love.Also, today is a happy 64th birthday for Tony Arnold, who made 38 relief appearances for the Orioles between 1986 and 1987. Today's only other 64th birthday among the four major sports is former Arizona State running back Alvin Moore, which is not to slight Moore because he played five seasons in the NFL, it's just that those five seasons were split between three franchises in four cities: the Baltimore and Indianapolis Colts, the Detroit Lions, and the Seattle Seahawks.So, those who remember Moore, likely do so for his time with the Sun Devils, not necessarily the six carries for 15 yards, plus an eight-yard reception, against the Jets on Thanksgiving in 1985. Same for Arnold and Texas Longhorns baseball, but he had the single MLB team, also in Baltimore, albeit not at the same time as Moore. Have they ever had a birthday party together? Maybe they can get in touch today. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit willetspen.substack.com/subscribe

In this episode of the AppleVis Extra podcast, host Thomas Domville is joined by Chris Kolbu, one of the team members at Itty Bitty Apps, the creators of Reveal, a powerful set of tools for professional iOS developers. Chris shares insights into how Reveal's advanced visualizations can be used to inspect apps at runtime, modify views on the fly, debug layout problems, diagnose common accessibility issues, and experience your app across different modes of accessibility. He also talks about how he recently used Reveal to resolve accessibility issues with the Ice Cubes Mastodon app. Thomas and Chris then delve into tips for how end users can best report accessibility issues to app developers. They highlight the importance of providing detailed information and being respectful in your communication with the developer.Additionally, Chris Kolbu has also created a YouTube video titled “Closing the Accessibility Gap with Reveal,” in which he and Tony Arnold discuss the importance of effective use of accessibility APIs in creating great accessible experiences. He explains how Reveal has been focusing on accessibility for the past few years to help developers and mobile teams close this gap. The video assumes that the viewers already recognize and respect the importance of making their app accessible and provides concrete, actionable examples of how to create a better accessible user interface using Reveal's Accessibility and Insights workspaces. The goal of the video is to equip viewers with approaches and tools that they can apply to their own apps to create a more accessible user experience.

With the set up of how vagus signalling was deduced by careful and meticulous experiments of Linda Watkins, who built on some amazing results from Hugo Besedovsky, we turn our attention to how the hypothesis moved from tackling acute inflammatory models (e.g. Sepsis) to chronic inflammatory models and disease conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis. We are joined by Tony Arnold, ex-CEO of SetPoint Medical and Dr. Paul-Peter Tak who pioneered the clinical trials in Rheumatoid Arthritis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Also, we cover some shocking moral plaigiarism from Feinstein Institute and Dr. Kevin Tracey in managing their public image. We now know that he was not the single pioneer of the transition to Arthritis and IBD trials as the news media claims or potrays him to be. It actually had many people's hand, especially Paul-Peter Tak's. SKRAPS is your podcast, where we on your behalf explores unsaid, underappreciated and sometimes, untold stories of sparks of brilliance in science, technology and innovation.

Composer Nina Shekhar joins us to chat about her work exploring identity, vulnerability, love, and laughter in her work and her process for exploring such complex aspects of humanity in seemingly mundane experiences, such as the car horns on the streets of India. We talk about how she approaches the business side of a professional career in composition, and how her work as a flutist, saxophonist, and pianist has informed her comfort with a wide array of compositional styles. And we speak about how we can all be more mindful to empower and promote the agency of composers and performers from marginalized communities and avoid the risks of exploiting any individual's otherness. Nina Shekhar is a composer who explores the intersection of identity, vulnerability, love, and laughter to create bold and intensely personal works.

The biggest public corruption investigation in Illinois history continues. Madigan says he did nothing wrong, but he is out of politics and his political machine destroyed. We dive into the investigation, the resignations and the end of the Madigan era. Has the game changed, or do Springfield's new power players still follow the Madigan Rule? Featuring exclusive interviews with former governor Jim Edgar, along with state Representative La Shawn Ford, former state Senator Heather Steans, as well as journalists Tony Arnold, Mick Dumke, Ray Long,  and Hanna Meisel all of whom covered Madigan. Former Illinois Republican Party Chairman Pat Brady is also a guest in the final episode.Also featured is BGA editor David Kidwell, who co-led reporting for a Chicago Tribune series “The Madigan Rules,” beginning in 2010.

Soprano Tony Arnold joins us to chat about hopping careers from orchestral conductor to international superstar vocalist, her varied interests in how sound is made and how to harness sound to make it into something else, and the way her interests have helped in collaborations with all sorts of instrumentalists and in teaching composers how to help performers lift music off the page . We speak about how she developed the working knowledge necessary to decipher contemporary scores, the close connection between chamber music and contemporary music, and learning how to fit into the deeply intimate and idiomatic language of a string quartet with a long history that no longer required verbal communication. She shares about how her connection to George Crumb deepened on a trip to Charleston, WV and how community- and network-building play in forming long-lasting professional connections. We discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the impact of digitization on the shaping of the musical world and the importance of separating music-making from money-making as best as one can. Celebrated as a “luminary in the world of chamber music and art song” (Huffington Post), Tony Arnold is internationally acclaimed as a leading proponent of contemporary music in concert and recording, a “convincing, mesmerizing soprano” (Los Angeles Times) who “has a broader gift for conveying the poetry and nuance behind outwardly daunting contemporary scores” (Boston Globe). Her unique blend of vocal virtuosity and communicative warmth, combined with wide-ranging skills in education and leadership were recognized with the 2015 Brandeis Creative Arts Award, given in appreciation of “excellence in the arts and the lives and works of distinguished, active American artists.” Ms. Arnold's extensive chamber music repertory includes major works written for her voice by Georges Aperghis, George Crumb, Brett Dean, Jason Eckardt, Gabriela Lena Frank, Josh Levine, George Lewis, Philippe Manoury, Carlos Sanchez-Gutierrez, Christopher Theofanidis, Ricardo Zohn-Muldoon, and numerous others. She is a member of the intrepid International Contemporary Ensemble, and enjoys regular guest appearances with leading ensembles, presenters and festivals worldwide. With more than thirty discs to her credit, Ms. Arnold has recorded a broad segment of the modern vocal repertory with esteemed chamber music colleagues. Her recording of George Crumb's iconic Ancient Voices of Children (Bridge) received a 2006 Grammy nomination. She is a first-prize laureate of both the Gaudeamus International and the Louise D. McMahon competitions. A graduate of Oberlin College and Northwestern University, Ms. Arnold was twice a fellow of the Aspen Music Festival as both a conductor and singer. She was the 2015-16 Kunkemueller Artist-In-Residence at the Boston Conservatory, and currently serves on the faculty of the Peabody Conservatory and the Tanglewood Music Center.

In this week's episode of Field Preachers, you'll hear about Tony Arnold and the online discipleship he offers at his online-only faith community out of Christ Church in Virginia. Jasper Peters of Belong Church in Colorado will also share about effective online communication and how pastors can be allies in the Black Lives Matter movement. In March of 1739, John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, engaged in "field preaching" for the first time after being encouraged by his friend and fellow preacher George Whitefield. Instead of preaching his sermon from a pulpit, Wesley went out from the church and preached in the open air to those who didn't have the time or money to sit in a pew and hear the good news. Thousands of people, mainly those struggling with poverty, came to hear him preach that first week and the revival of Methodism was born as the good news became real in the hearts of those who heard about God's love and grace. Church planters are modern day "field preachers" who go out from the established church into the community where they proclaim good news to those who need it most. This podcast is a series of interviews and stories from modern-day Methodist field preachers who will make you laugh, cry, and think more deeply about how and where we are called to share God's love and grace.

Amid the pandemic, the state's ongoing budget woes received some attention this week, with uncertainty over federal aid to states and local governments.

Ratings agencies-which determine how fiscally stable a government entity is, which ultimately determines how much it will cost that government to borrow money-have taken a dim view of Illinois’ finances over the last several years. But this week, the state was offered a glimmer of hope. Erik Kim, Senior Director at Fitch Ratings in NYC, believes that the governor and the legislature are taking the right steps to eventually get the state out of it’s financial mess.Plus State Senator Tom Cullerton is under investigation for his alleged involvement in a no-show job for the teamsters.

The WBEZ politics team hosted a live version of On Background at the Chicago Cultural Center on Tuesday, and today we’re bringing you the best parts of that program. The show featured a sharp panel of reporters, a packed house, and lively discussions about what life might look like in 2019 for the (new?) governor of Illinois. We also asked what type of role Illinois voters will play in determining who takes the U.S. House of Representatives this November (“A big role,” says one of our panelists).Join host Becky Vevea, WBEZ state politics reporters Dave McKinney and Tony Arnold, WGN political reporter Tahman Bradley, Univision reporter Mariano Gielis, and political reporter Mary Ann Ahern from NBC 5 Chicago.Music:Daniel Caesar - Best Part (feat. H.E.R.)Jamila Woods - LSDEach week at On Background, WBEZ’s team of political reporters brings you the backstory on the week's big story. Host Becky Vevea and guests take you inside the back rooms of Chicago and Illinois government to better understand the people, places and forces shaping today’s politics.

The announcement by Mayor Rahm Emanuel to not seek re-election sent shock waves through the city and cracked February's election wide open. There are the questions of "What's next for the exiting mayor?", "Will there be even more names on the ballot than the eleven already there?", and "Is there more to this decision that meets the eye?" WBEZ Politics Reporters Becky Vevea and Tony Arnold joined Jill Hopkins on The Morning AMp to discuss what the announcement means for the upcoming elections.

The Illinois State Fair is a heavy dose of Americana that draws hundreds of thousands of people each summer. It’s also become a required stop for Illinois politicians from Abraham Lincoln to current Gov. Bruce Rauner. WBEZ state politics reporters Tony Arnold and Dave McKinney join host Becky Vevea to explain how politics ended up alongside hog calling, and how this year’s state fair is setting the stage for the upcoming election season.

Ken Davis is joined by Tony Arnold, WBEZ’s State Politics Reporter, Hal Dardick, investigative reporter for the Chicago Tribune and Heather Cherone, City Hall reporter for the Daily Line. They discuss this week’s raucous meeting at the Chicago City Council in which about a hundred police officers showed up to express their frustration with slow progress toward a police contract, and hundreds of other protesters vented their concerns that too much money was being directed toward Mayor Emanuel’s proposed police training academy. But, as Cherone reports, all sides seemed united in their displeasure with Mayor Emanuel. The approval for the Obama Presidential Center sailed through, but not without a lone dissenter, Ald. David Moore. Moore and Ald. Carolos Ramirez-Rosa were highly visible dissenters at the meeting, and shortly afterward the Latino Caucus announced that it had expelled Ramirez-Rosa. Tony Arnold provided an update on WBEZ’s ongoing investigation into deaths at the Illinois Veteran’s Home, and their most recent revelation that one victim probably remained in her room for as much as 48 hours before being discovered by the staff. The panel also considered Governor Rauner’s re-write of a bill to license the State’s gun stores and extend the “cooling-off’ period to 72 hours for assault weapons. He extended the waiting period to all guns and reinstated the death penalty – a proposal that seemed to leave politicians on both sides of the aisle scratching their heads. This program was produced by Chicago Access Network Television (CAN TV).

But don’t worry: WBEZ’s Government & Politics desk has your back:The six Democrats running for Illinois governor shared the same stage Thursday night at a forum sponsored by WBEZ, Politico, and the University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics. WBEZ’s Tony Arnold and Dave McKinney were two of the event’s panelists and they share their takeaways.During the forum, the candidates played The Price is Right, sorta. Each candidate got quizzed on the price of everyday goods and services. Some answers were spot-on. Others? Not so much. WBEZ’s Dave McKinney shares the answers for listeners who were playing at home.Somehow, some way, the Democratic primary race for Cook County assessor has taken another surprising turn: If you vote early next week and cast a ballot for Andrea Raila, “very simply, that vote will not count,” says WBEZ’s Becky Vevea. She explains why.WBEZ obtained 1,400 internal emails involving Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration regarding the 2015 outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease at a state-run veterans home. Some of the emails discuss how to spin the deadly outbreak to the public. We take a look at campaigns’ reaction to the report.WBEZ’s politics team broke all of that down during our weekly Illinois Elections 2018 podcast.

This week featured the first, fiery debate among Democratic Party candidates for governor of Illinois. We also had a chance to read an emoji-laden inspector general’s report that cleared State Sen. Ira Silverstein of Chicago of sexual harassment charges — with a caveat. And we reviewed a recently-unsealed lawsuit that alleges Bruce Rauner took private business meetings during his time as governor.Hear WBEZ’s politics team break down the latest state and local elections news, featuring host Melba Lara and WBEZ state politics reporters Dave McKinney and Tony Arnold.

Ken Davis is joined by Tony Arnold, Illinois political reporter for WBEZ and Chicago Sun-Times Managing Editor Chris Fusco. They talk about the battle over state funding for education that threatens the timely opening of public schools throughout the state. They also discuss Governor Rauner’s recent personnel changes that appear to steer his administration strongly to the right, and the stalled Cook County sweetened beverages tax that jeopardizes hundreds of County jobs because the anticipated revenue has not materialized. There’s also some conversation about Fusco’s position as managing editor at the Sun-Times and his role with the new ownership structure. This program was produced by Chicago Access Network Television (CAN TV).

Long ago, Tony Arnold wondered how he might find an opening in Medtech. Today, he’s leading one of the sector’s most novel start-ups, SetPoint Medical, which is using the nervous system to ease inflammation.

Tania León blev musikaliska ledare, dirigent och pianist vid Dance Theatre of Harlem, det första afro-amerikanska balettkompaniet någonsin i USA och hon beslutar sig för att studera till tonsättare. 1967, efter en gedigen klassisk utbildning till konsertpianist vid Havannas Musikkonservatorium, lämnade Tania León Kuba för den kreativa friheten i New York. Dansaren och koreografen Arthur Mitchell övertalar henne att bli musikaliska ledare, dirigent och pianist vid Dance Theatre of Harlem, det första afro-amerikanska balettkompaniet någonsin i USA. Han uppmuntrar henne att skriva egen musik och Tania León beslutar sig för att studera musikalisk komposition vid New York University.1980 kunde Tania León resa tillbaka till Kuba, då förbudet att återvända upphävdes. Det var då hennes far fick henne att förstå att hon skulle använda sina musikaliska rötter i sin musik. - Han lyssnade på de inspelningar jag hade med mig och sa rakt på sak:- Visst är det intressant det här, men var finns du i alltihopa. Det förvånade mig eftersom min far inte var musiker, säger Tania León i programmet. Tania León har återvänt till Kuba flera gånger sedan dess men hann aldrig återse sin far. Några månader efter hennes första besök avled han plötsligt. - Den mardrömslika situationen, när jag inte hann fram till min fars begravning på grund av de kubanska myndigheternas långsamma visumhantering, gjorde att hans sista ord till mig envist återvände: Var finns du i musiken? Ett tag tänkte jag ständigt på det här. Vad menade han egentligen? Kunde det vara den polyrytmiska komplexiteten, de musikaliska rörelserna, klangfärgernas paletter? För första gången börjar jag använda mig av detta i min musik, förklarar Tania León. Tania León skapade dansverk Inura för danskompaniet Dance Brazil. Inför detta verk tillbringade hon lång tid i Bahia i Brasilien för att arbeta med slagverkare på inhemska, folkliga instrument som surdo, cabasa, tamburin och små tomtoms, agogô, congas, tumba och berimbau. Fyra brasilianska slagverkare tillsammans med en stråkkvartett och en slagverkare från New York-filharmonikerna gör verket Inura till ett mäktigt stycke musik där kören sjunger på nigerianskt Yoruba-språk. Den nigerianska Yoruba-religionen kom till Kuba på femtonhundratalet med slavar från Nigeria.     Poeter vars texter Tania León har tonsatt är bl a: Rita Dove, Wole Soyinka, Jamaica Kincaid, Derek Walcott och Margaret Atwood. Tania León är Distinguished Professor vid City University of New York och musikalisk rådgivare till två välrenommerade symfoniorkestrar: American Composers Orchestra och New York-filharmonikerna.Den 13 november 2016 kunde Tania Léon för första gången dirigera Orquesta Sinfonica Nacional de Cuba (Kubas nationella symfoniorkester) i Teatro Nacional. En starkt känslomässig upplevelse för henne.  Läs om Tania Leóns på nätet: http://www.tanialeon.com/ http://chevalierdesaintgeorges.homestead.com/leon.html  Musiklista:Inura: VIII ManifestTania LeónSON SONORA DANCE BRAZIL PERCUSSIONCD: Tania León: In Motion           El maniseroArr: Tania LeónChanticleer (san francisco)CD: Wondrous Love - A Folk Song Collection Satiné, Quattro ManiTania LeónSusan Grace, piano.
