* Israel's aid blockade deepens hunger in Gaza: UN Fifty-four days into Israel's aid blockade, the UN says hunger in Gaza is reaching crisis levels. UNRWA has nearly 3,000 trucks of lifesaving aid stuck at the border, blocked by Israeli authorities. “People in Gaza are starving,” the agency warned, accusing Israel of using aid as a “weapon of war.” It called for an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages, and full access for humanitarian supplies. * India, Pakistan trade fire along Kashmir border Indian and Pakistani forces exchanged gunfire for a second straight night along the Line of Control. India's army accused Pakistan of unprovoked small arms fire from “multiple posts” across the tense Kashmir frontier. No injuries or casualties have been reported. Earlier, India unilaterally suspended the decades-old Indus Waters Treaty. Pakistan warned that any attempt to divert or block its water share would be seen as an "act of war," stressing that the agreement, brokered by the World Bank in 1960, cannot be suspended unilaterally. * Francis's funeral to be grand farewell to 'pope of the poor' World leaders and thousands of mourners are gathering in Vatican City today for the funeral of Pope Francis, the first Latin American pontiff in the history of the Catholic Church. Over 250,000 people have already paid respects to the late pope, who died Monday at 88. A massive security operation is underway, with snipers on rooftops and fighter jets on alert. The funeral mass, led in St Peter's Square, begins at 10:00 am local time. * FBI arrests judge in immigration showdown A federal judge has been arrested for allegedly obstructing a Trump's immigration operation, according to FBI Director Kash Patel. He claimed Judge Hannah Dugan misled agents in her Milwaukee courtroom, helping an undocumented immigrant escape. The now-deleted post caused a stir, but law enforcement confirmed Dugan's arrest. * Istanbul's Tulip Festival is back showcasing largest floral carpet Spring in Istanbul is a full-blown floral spectacle, crowned by the world's largest tulip carpet in Sultanahmet Square.

Bruce McCormick (known to many as "Honker" for his love of waterfowl) passed away on Thursday, September 21, just a few months shy of his 92nd birthday. His was a larger-than-life personality that embodied so many of the things I appreciate about living in the Magic Skagit. During the time I got to know Bruce, I recorded some podcast interviews with him about pioneer history as he learned it growing up as the grandson of one of the valley's earliest White settlers. Back in May of this year, I recorded an interview with Bruce to talk about his perspective on the Skagit Valley's annual Tulip Festival, the story of Isaac Chilberg, early farming history, and finally an anecdote about his maternal uncles and their involvement in the First World War. At the time of this recording, I certainly hadn't envisioned it as my last interview with Bruce -- but having finally gotten around to editing and mixing our conversation from last May, I offer it now as the last occasion upon which we can be treated to the voice of Bruce McCormick and the stories that voice shared. I wish there had been more. I'm thankful for the ones I heard.

In this episode, I dive deep into our Dutch tulip-themed trip last April. Before the tulip festival stories, I randomly wander through a potpourri of travel topics — TSA passenger volumes returning to pre-COVID levels, having a surprisingly satisfying customer service experience with American Airlines, Hertz's EV push, and a bit of a chuckle about the misplaced visa panic in the news coverage of the EU's impending ETIAS system.Check out this episode's show notes here

Are you familiar with a place called Skagit Valley? When I first visited in 2016, I honestly didn't even know how to pronounce it! I went to see The Tulip Festival, which takes place in the Valley in April. I wasn't even living in the Pacific Northwest on that first visit. I fell in love with this area way back then. Fast forward to today, I have lived in the Pacific Northwest for three years and have become a kind of groupie of this spectacular Northwest destination. I have learned so many new details about this area, and it's only about an hour north of my home. The farmland is incredible, and I've come to make friends with people who live there. I visit, I buy from my long list of favorites, including blueberries, zucchini, tomatoes, and strawberries, and then purchase oysters and delicious cheese while I am there.  The brilliant idea of Farmstand Fresh Are you aware of Farmstand Fresh? You can discover the diverse and bountiful crops of the Skagit Valley in July and August by exploring its produce stands and farm stores. You can meet a farmer and connect to an exceptional agricultural community growing over 80 commercial crops. At the same time, you can enjoy the Skagit countryside with unsurpassed vistas of the San Juan Islands, Olympic Coast Range, and North Cascades. That is a little of my history with Skagit Valley, and now I am really excited to introduce you to my special guest. We will go on a deeper dive devoted to this special place with Chef Christy Fox.  Christy is a chef and restaurant owner who weaves 30 years of professional experience into her fresh and popular meals. She is highly committed to utilizing local ingredients, and Chef Christy supports numerous Skagit producers in both her sweet and savory menu creations.  In this episode, Christy shares the details of her journey as a chef, how it evolved into multiple restaurants and offers insights into why knowing where your food comes from is so important. She is also a great storyteller; I know you will enjoy hearing from her.  Highlights in this episode An intriguing introduction to the Genuine Skagit Valley Chef Christy's journey from culinary school to creating new restaurants Why is it called "Magic Skagit"?

It may have started with her daughter wanting to join the Youth Alive step team, however, Leah Reed's involvement in the Women of Color Giving Circle was a spiritual extension of the legacy of her legendary grandmother Edna Wilks and the Monday Night Club. And it is a true Circle, says Leah, as "everyone can contribute and everyone has something to give" as it relates to providing mentorship to build self-esteem and resilience for the young people of color in our community. Her experience is informed by Leah's own journey that included losing both her parents at a very young age, but never forgetting their lessons of respect and prioritizing education. Earning the wonderful accolade as Best Mom at the 2023 Albany Tulip Festival, Leah has three children, including an oldest daughter who she has fostered for more than a decade and will soon be adopted, which is sure to be a joyous occasion. This weekend the Women of Color Giving Circle will celebrate the latest graduating class of young people of color, another tradition started by the organization to recognize success. Also in this episode we cover: the contributions of Leah's grandmother Edna Wilks, being proactive rather than reactive in developing mentorship, Leah's journey as a young person of color at Monument Mountain and navigating life after losing her father at 16, setting high standards, her work to earn her masters at Boston University School of Social Work, learning to provide constructive feedback effectively, exposing children to financial literacy, music, expressive dance and other cultural arts, disparity in health care for African Americans, the surprise honor of Mom of the Year at the Albany Tulip Festival and more. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Leah Reed. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-krol/support

Episode Description:  In today's show, the Duchess visits the beautiful Constable Burton Hall & Gardens to meet the current chatelaine, Imogen Wyvill. In the episode, Imogen introduces the Duchess to the chess grand master who courted Florence Nightingale, we learn about the Wyvill family's important hand in the abolition of slavery, and the ladies discuss the famed and fabulous Tulip festival that is hosted at Constable Burton annually. Top Quotes: "Living in homes like these, you fall in love with them everyday through the eyes of your visitors." - Imogen Wyvill "The wonderful thing about Constable Burton is that it does have this very warm homely feel to it. It embraces you." - Imogen "The past year perhaps has helped us realise to keep life a little simpler. And actually it's a reconnection to the love affair with the British Isles." - Imogen About the Guest and Stately Home: Imogen Wyvill, nee Garner, is married to Marmaduke D'Arcy William Wyvill, son of Marmaduke Charles Asty Wyvill and Margaret Ann Hardcastle. The couple have two children together. Constable Burton has been home to the Wyvill family for over four -and-a-half centuries. The Wyvills are descended from an unbroken line that stretches back to 1066 when Sir Humphrey de Wyvill was Companion in Arms to William the Conqueror. Constable Burton Hall is a grade I-listed Georgian mansion in North Yorkshire, that is privately owned by the Wyvill family. The Hall is a handsome Palladian villa designed by the celebrated architect John Carr for Sir Marmaduke Wyvill, and completed in 1768. It is widely recognised as one of the finest medium-sized English houses built in the Palladian style. In 1520, Constable Burton passed first to Sir Ralph Fitz-Randolph, knight, of Spennithorne, and then to Marmaduke Wyvill who married the youngest daughter, Alice, and received this manor with other estates for her share. The Hall is also surrounded by breathtaking gardens and there's a well known Tulip Festival held annually on the estate.   About the Host: Emma Rutland, The Duchess of Rutland, did not always stride the halls of stately homes. Born Emma Watkins, the Duchess grew up the daughter of a Quaker farmer, in the Welsh marsh countryside. She trained as an opera singer in the Guildhall School of Music, and worked as a successful interior designer before meeting her future husband David Manners, the 11th Duke of Rutland, at a dinner party. Their marriage in 1992 would transform Emma Watkins into the 11th Duchess of Rutland, thrusting her into the world of aristocracy, and handing her the responsibility of one of the nation's great treasures: Belvoir Castle. While simultaneously running the day to day operations of the castle, and raising five children, The Duchess became fascinated with the history and importance of the other stately homes of the UK. Join The Duchess as she embarks on a wonderful journey through time, to learn more about the incredible homes that have defined Great Britain and, most importantly, meet the other extraordinary women who work tirelessly behind their doors to preserve their history and magic for future generations.  Resources: To find out more about our sponsor CircleDNA, visit their website https://circledna.com/en-us/ (here) https://www.onefineplay.com/ (https://www.onefineplay.com/) https://www.belvoircastle.com/ (https://www.belvoircastle.com/) https://www.emmaduchessrutland.com/ (https://www.emmaduchessrutland.com/) https://www.constableburton.com/ (https://www.constableburton.com/)

Ellen Zunon of Guilderland was brought up on stories of her Dutch ancestors. Her father’s side of the family goes back to Cornelis Van Slijck who came to Fort Orange, now Albany, from the Netherlands in 1634. He married a Mohawk princess, the story goes, although now Zunon is “not so sure about the princess part,” she says in this week’s podcast. Bridging two worlds, van Slijck’s daughters became interpreters; a son founded Schenectady Village in 1661, she said. Zunon is a member of the Dutch Settlers Society, established in 1924, and also a trustee of the New Netherlands Institute, a not-for-profit that supports the translation of old Dutch documents in the State Archives. Zunon notes that Albany has a sister city in the Netherlands — Nijmegen in the province of Gelderland — a relationship that began in 1947 after Nijmegen had been bombed at the end of World War II. The bulbs Nijmegen sent in thanks for the goods from Albany were the beginning of Albany’s Tulip Festival, she says. This week, Zunon gave a talk, online through the Guilderland Public Library, based on a journal — “A Journey into Mohawk and Oneida Country, 1634-1635” — kept by a young Dutch barber and surgeon, Harmen Meyndertsz van den Bogaert. Van den Bogaert kept a daily journal as he traveled, in the midst of the Little Ice Age, with two other young Dutchmen and five Mohawk guides 100 miles west from Fort Orange into central New York to negotiate prices for beaver pelts with the Mohawk and Oneida people. Zunon notes the account has the first recorded listing of the five tribes making up the Iroquois Confederacy and also, judging by their reaction, their introduction to guns. Zunon has developed her own recipes from the descriptions of the food the men ate on their journey — made from corn, beans, and squash, staples for the Iroquois diet. Zunon is Dutch on her mother’s side, too, as her mother’s parents immigrated from the Netherlands in 1911. As a child, Zunon learned to play the Dutch national anthem on the piano. She has her mother’s music book of Dutch songs and her next research project is linking songs from the 1500s and 1600s to the Dutch Eighty Years’ War for independence. In her own life, Zunon has bridged two worlds. As a student majoring in French at the University at Albany, she joined the French club where she met Denis Zunon, a student from the Ivory Coast in Africa who became her husband. They raised their two children there until, when their daughter was 12 and their son was 6, political unrest brought the family to the United States. “Living in two cultures gives you a broader view of the world,” says Zunon. “It makes you less judgmental of other cultures.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Today is a conversation with Cindy Verge the executive director of the Tulip Festival. She talks about what the festival is doing in the time of Covid. Including the unveiling of the Tulip Festival poster.

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Thanksgiving Point was prepared to spend 2020 celebrating its 25th anniversary as one of Utah's largest cultural institutions. Coronavirus changed those plans and Thanksgiving Point has navigated a tight rope of decision-making to protect guests and team members during the pandemic. In fact, as many as 1 in 8 museums may disappear when the pandemic ends. Its president and CEO, Mike Washburn, is here to share some insights. MIKE WASHBURN In March we closed Thanksgiving Point and canceled all events, including the Tulip Festival, which was a tremendously difficult decision. We reopened outdoor venues on May 1 to just one-third capacity for social distancing, following the “Utah Leads Together,” plan, then began opening museums and exhibits on June 12 to extremely limited capacity. While these measures reduced our annual budget from $25 to $14 million, our generous members and community stepped in to help ease this crisis and have been vital sources of support. Moving forward, we're focused on transformative family learning at our venues while following safety guidelines. Soon, we look forward to more days of hosting crowds and over two million guests a year. DEREK MILLER We're glad that Thanksgiving Point has committed members and donors to help this vital community gathering place weather the storm during COVID-19. We'll be looking forward to the lights at Luminaria this holiday season as well. For more details on experiences open and available to the public, visit thanksgivingpoint.org. I'm Derek Miller, and this is Speaking on Business. Originally Aired: August 27, 2020.

Inslee extended the Stay at Home order for another month, until May 4th. While that may feel heavy, I'm going to choose positivity and gratefulness. We made it to Friday and if you're listening to this hopefully you feel lucky to have a safe home surrounded with your loved ones. Many are struggling to have that simple luxury right now. So let's take a deep breath or gratitude for that. Thanks for joining us for West Seattle Daily, Episode #054, brought to you by Sea-Town Real Estate. I'm your host, Christian Harris. In partnership with the Alaska Junction Association. Here is some of the latest updates from around West Seattle: - Last nights press conference came with heavy news. Gov. Jay Inslee opened by saying he’s extending the “stay-home order” through May 4th. (Its original expiration was to be April 6th.) He says it’s “morally necessary” because the full force of the virus hasn’t hit yet and modeling suggests at least 1,000 deaths, “and more will die if we stop now.” He says the percentage of positive tests is going up, so “we’re not out of the woods yet” and “we will not accept unnecessary deaths in our state.” - He acknowledges there are economic consequences and that everyone must find ways to support those who fall into financial hardship “through no fault of their own.” He reiterates that health recovery is vital for economic recovery. He quotes FDR about confidence and courage. “I have confidence in the courage of Washingtonians.” He stresses, “This is temporary. … All of us are leaders in this effort.” - Also, while it’s OK to be outdoors, and go for walks around your block and what not – but don’t, for example, go to Skagit Valley to see the tulips, or other areas where people may be tempted to congrigate (which apparently some are doing even though the Tulip Festival was canceled). - So what is going on with the West Seattle Bridge? - It isn’t looking good. Basically the cracks in the bridge are still growing even thought they have closed the bridge to traffic, they don't know why and they can't do anything about shoring it up so it doesn't fall on the lower bridge or figure out a long term fix until they discover why. It's going to be closed for at least 6 months... but probably more likely at least a year. - In closing, I wanted to highlight a thoughtful reminder from the Senior Center of WS. Take a moment to drop a note into the mail for a senior. I'm sure at times like these, seniors are especially feeling isolated and vulnerable. Let's do what we can to bring a little connection and joy to each other's lives. What are some of your favorite moments from "self-quarantine" and staying at home these past few weeks? Common, it's not all torture and monotony, right!? Don't forget to subscribe to this on your favorite podcast app or on your Amazon smart speaker by simply saying, "Alexa, enable West Seattle Daily". Thanks for joining us and talk with you Monday.
