It's Theresa and Marielena talking the art of living together on Spirituality and Politics. First up, a share about a special local happening. On Sunday, July 21, Hey Neighbor Food Club is hosting their first event at the Old Dutch Church in Kingston (4–6pm). It's a preorder-and-pickup food event featuring handmade dishes -- tamales, pupusas, empanadas -- prepared by a small group of incredible local chefs, most of whom are female immigrants launching their very first food businesses.The chefs are part of the Briico Food Academy, which helps new entrepreneurs build sustainable income, community connections, and confidence through food, without needing outside capital or formal business experience. Each meal tells a story of migration, tradition, and resilience, and proceeds go directly to the chefs.Marielena shares her experience teaching art to women incarcerated at the Ulster County Jail and the many interactions that taught her about them and their lives including surprising insights through the vision boards the women created, their creative writing exercises, and how they collaborated with one another. Through that experience she shares her thoughts about how living together in an incarcerated setting can teach us about the art of living together in a broader community. The womens' art "Voices Unbound" is currently exhibited at Unison in New Paltz now through August 31st.This weekend is Upstate Art Weekend. Lots is happening, including some amazing events at Unison.Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.Our show music is from Shana Falana!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFYITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCAFollow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast

Send us a textSecondary music classrooms are increasingly challenged by student disengagement—especially when traditional models fail to resonate with today's learners. In this compelling episode, professional bassist and music educator Richard Frank introduces his Unison-Based Content (UBC) approach, a student-centered framework designed to revitalize music programs and re-engage learners of all skill levels.UBC shifts away from the conventional jazz band structure, offering a more inclusive model that welcomes diverse instrumentation—including non-traditional instruments—and varying skill levels from the start. By blending formal (notation and theory) and informal (playing by ear) learning traditions, Frank creates a “blended space” where all students feel validated and empowered.Educators will gain practical strategies for:Engaging mixed-skill ensembles with adaptable arrangementsIncorporating tab notation and alternative instrumentsEncouraging improvisation through simultaneous group playingPromoting student agency through choice and music analysisSupporting SEL through confidence-building collaborationConnecting classroom music to real-world performance opportunitiesIdeal for secondary educators seeking to refresh their approach or supplement existing programs, this method bridges the gap between traditional music education and contemporary student needs.Explore ready-to-use resources at PlayTheGroove.com and discover how UBC can transform your classroom into a space where all students groove—and grow.

In this episode of Let's Talk Poverty, Jaclyn Silbernagel connects with Larry Mathieson, President and CEO of Unison at Kerby Centre to talk about the myths and misconceptions around older adults and poverty, how local non-profits are supporting Calgary's older adult community, and where the gaps exist in supports. 

Unison is fully launched into our summer sermon series called 'U Asked for It'. Lead pastor Chase preaches today about Unison's posture towards women in leadership in church ministry. 

Happy Father's Day! The sermon at Unison is about men today, but this message is for women too. Lead Pastor Chase preaches about masculinity based on the best example ever to live, Jesus. 

It's our monthly conversation about Spirituality and Politics. Joining Marielena and me in the first half of the show today is Marcina Hale, Program Director at Reconsider. She was on the show back in 2019. (Check out show #52 to hear her story). She is an Executive Producer of Fantastic Fungi, Producer of Disturbing the Peace and There is Another Way, and a facilitator for Reconsider's work ”play” shop experiences, which have been held in the U.S. and internationally. Marcina spoke at TEDxKC Women about how to change the world in which we are living. Marcina's vision is to catalyze the creation of experiences that evoke thought and conversations that both challenge and inspire new ways of relating to ourselves and to life itself.There Is Another Way tells the story of a group of visionaries who refuse to surrender to violence and injustice, and in doing so show that another path is possible - for them, for us, for all of humanity. As we are all faced with essential questions about who we are, will we choose collective liberation, where the needs, rights, and safety of all are prioritized - in which our humanity comes first, knowing that no one is free until everyone is free.Combatants for Peace, nominated for two Nobel Peace Prizes, is an extraordinary bi-national group of former enemy combatants -Israelis and Palestinians - working together during an ongoing armed conflict. Faced with the devastation and escalating violence of October 7th and the war in Gaza, the very core of the movement must face great challenges and show that there is another way. The first question they have to face is their own belief... Is this possible?Reconsider is hosting a virtual screening of the film this Thursday, June 12th and an in person screening at the Rosendale Theater on July 25th.Our conversation inspires some deep reflection on what we believe is possible, and what we're doing to hold that vision for peace.Marielena shares info about the upcoming "Voices Unbound," Art Exhibit from incarcerated women at Unison following their Art Spark Program. June 21st opening from 1-5pm. The show will run through July. We talked about Art Spark last month on Spirituality and Politics.Here's your Full Moon Report!Today's show was engineered by Ian Seda from Radiokingston.org.Our show music is from Shana Falana!Feel free to email me, say hello: she@iwantwhatshehas.org** Please: SUBSCRIBE to the pod and leave a REVIEW wherever you are listening, it helps other users FIND IThttp://iwantwhatshehas.org/podcastITUNES | SPOTIFYITUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/i-want-what-she-has/id1451648361?mt=2SPOTIFY:https://open.spotify.com/show/77pmJwS2q9vTywz7Uhiyff?si=G2eYCjLjT3KltgdfA6XXCAFollow:INSTAGRAM * https://www.instagram.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast/FACEBOOK * https://www.facebook.com/iwantwhatshehaspodcast

We also talk about the relationship between union officialdom and struggles on the shopfloor.While these experiences are specific to John, we do think many of the dynamics are pretty common, with similarities with many workplaces – especially office-based ones.Our podcast is brought to you by our Patreon supporters.

Summary In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses various topics including the impact of weather on society, the hysterical reporting surrounding gun control, and the violence in Chicago over Memorial Day weekend. The conversation also touches on legal accountability in the Shields case, the importance of open carry laws, and the recent fine imposed on Walmart for selling realistic toy guns. Throughout the discussion, the hosts emphasize the need for better training for law enforcement regarding gun laws and the absurdity of certain regulations. Takeaways The weather can influence societal perceptions and behaviors. Hysterical reporting often drives public policy and fear. Gun control debates are often framed around manufactured crises. Chicago continues to struggle with high murder rates despite strict gun laws. Legal accountability in gun-related incidents is often misapplied. Open carry laws are essential for personal freedom and safety. Law enforcement needs better training on gun laws to avoid unnecessary confrontations. The Shields case raises questions about liability in tragic incidents. Walmart's fine for selling toy guns highlights the absurdity of regulations. The fight for gun rights is ongoing and requires constant vigilance. Keywords Armed American Radio, gun control, Chicago violence, open carry, legal accountability, weather reporting, Memorial Day, Shields case, Walmart fine, hysterical reporting

What are the primary differences between Proptech 1.0, Proptech 2.0, and today's Proptech 3.0? In what way did Brian's consulting work quickly change as financial firms navigated the Great Financial Crisis? What was it like to be at the forefront of the technology revolution within investment management that led to quant investing? Why did Brian get the chance to build a reinsurance business from the ground up and how did this work establish his credentials for raising institutional capital? How did a weekend and weeknight personal research project on shared equity in real estate lead to a role at Unison? Why was it important that from the get go the Jubilee Homes solution work within the existing real estate ecosystem? What is a leasehold product and how does this differ from a traditional mortgage? Why is Jubilee Homes focused on markets where there is a high land share percentage for home purchases? What attributes of the residential ground lease asset class make it particularly interesting for institutional capital? Why was it important for Jubilee Homes to build trust with real estate agents? Does the leasehold product work for real estate asset classes outside of residential real estate?Brian Elbogen - CEO and co-founder of Jubilee Homes, joins Proptech Espresso to answer these questions and discuss how a conversation with a professor on a recruiting trip around the opportunity to study operations researched tipped the scale in favor of attending Princeton over the Univeristy of Penn.

Lead Pastor Chase preaches today about generational curses. This is a teaser sermon for our summer sermon series called U Asked for It. We take any and every question from Unison congregants and preach about them every summer! Get ahold of a staff member to ask a question!

Unison and Unite tell Nolan it is : "unacceptable, unjustifiable and exploitative".

Sister Rosetta Tharpe was known as the ‘godmother of rock and roll' and influenced countless musicians from Elvis to Johnny Cash. Now Olivier Award-winning performer Beverley Knight is playing Sister Rosetta in a new production, Marie and Rosetta, which has just opened at the Rose Theatre in London. It tells the story of Rosetta and her singing partner, Marie Knight, described as one of the most remarkable and revolutionary duos in music history. Beverley joins Nuala McGovern in the Woman's Hour studio to discuss how the show hopes to restore these forgotten musical heroines to the spotlight. The Government has announced that care workers will no longer be recruited from overseas as part of a crackdown on visas for lower-skilled workers. The care sector has criticised the plans as "cruel" and "short-sighted". To discuss this and what good care looks like, Nuala is joined by Gavin Edwards, Head of Social Care at Unison, and care worker Kathryn Faulke, author of the memoir Every Kind of People: A Journey into the Heart of Care Work.It's thought that around 3 to 4% of people in the UK, that's one in 20, have ADHD - Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. However many women still remain undiagnosed for decades of their lives, with those in their 40s, 50s and 60s only now discovering they have it for the first time. Jo Beazley was diagnosed with ADHD just two years ago at the age of 49, after her symptoms worsened during the menopause. She joins Nuala along with Amanda Kirby, the former chair of the ADHD Foundation and a professor in the field of neurodiversity. This week we'll be hearing different perspectives on the recent Supreme Court ruling on the definition of a woman under the Equality Act, and how it could and should be interpreted on the ground. The Equality and Human Rights Commission has issued interim guidance that, in places open to the public, trans women shouldn't use women's facilities such as toilets. Today Nuala speaks to Robin Moira White, a barrister who specialises in taking discrimination cases, and who is also a trans woman. Robin transitioned in 2011 and is co-author of A Practical Guide to Transgender Law. Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Sarah Jane Griffiths

In this densely-packed episode, Ashleigh, Flint and Alyx consider many of the different reactions to the UK supreme court''s recent judgement, including: Updates on the many, many protests taking place all over the UK, with a helpful list compiled by the WTT team. The interim guidance from the EHRC, what's wrong with it and why it's not fit for purpose. Reactions from different UK unions, including the BMA and UNISON. Policy changes from sports bodies, the British Transport Police and Barclays. Conflicting reactions and statements from within the Labour party, the SNP, Greens and others. So many open letters. Our experiences at protests and why it's important to go to them and show the government how unpopular this is. Loser's Corner and Trans Joy, for your amusement.

There is a need for this. So I made one. But it will evolve. Maybe into a web app/wiki/something else... like a Notion website?" - Paul Patch Tuesday brings a metric ton of new features - And what the tracker showed clearly Two seconds after posting the tracker, Microsoft changed the Copilot app yet again - proving the need for the tracker - And demonstrating why the Insider Program is so screwed up A hidden new Start menu in recent builds presents an interesting conundrum: How to handle something Microsoft has not announced? More Windows 11 Beta build for 23H2: File new tab/new window changes, Explorer context menu regression may be permanent Dev and Beta (24H2): Taskbar icon scaling is a blast from the past we all need desperately Intel is killing Unison app and service Like winter, Build is coming Build session catalog is live - mostly AI as expected. Paul and Richard are going Overview of the Windows Copilot Runtime (one year after it was announced), Windows Actions, standard Kayla Cinnamon talk on Windows productivity, using your own model with WCR, native app experiences(!), Arm64 app perf, etc. AI Final thoughts on Microsoft's 50th: Biggest accomplishment wasn't any tech, it was changing with the times. What it's best at: Democratizing tech for the commoners, an expansion on Jack Tramiel/Commodore's "computers for the masses, not the classes" schtick. And that is exactly what it is doing with AI right now Microsoft hosts a consumer AI event and announces a metric ton of new Copilot features We need a Copilot feature tracker. Copilot = every single feature other AIs have - Copilot Actions on the web, memory and personalization, Copilot Vision on mobile and Windows, AI-generated podcasts and Microsoft releases Copilot Search in Bing Is AI turning us all into Charly from Flowers for Algernon? AI is making us stupider! There are studies!! This is the argument against every single tech advance from the steam train to the ballpoint pen to this Microsoft's AI demo of vibe-coded Quake II highlights the problem nicely Sometimes it's the little things: AI recaps for book series in Kindle GitHub Copilot updated with Agent Mode, Cursor-style code overviews, more Xbox & gaming Microsoft announces new Xbox Games Showcase for June Edge Game Assist gets new features, support for new games GTA V and enhanced version for PC coming to Game Pass on April 15 - In addition to the previous Game Pass titles we discussed last week Good: Nintendo Switch 2 supports ray tracing and DLSS Bad: Nintendo delays Switch 2 to figure out the tariffs mess Tips and Picks Tip of the week: Programmers at Work App pick of the week: Apple Music RunAs Radio this week: Application Risk in Security Copilot with Ari Schorr Brown liquor pick of the week: The Heart Cut #02 These show notes have been truncated due to length.

Show CLIP: Media rant dems lie in scripted unison- echo statements by Kate Dalley

Today is a teen takeover service at Unison! The teens took over the service and led our gathered worship today! Watch on YouTube or Facebook if you can, but our message today is brought by Ms. Olivia Stancle. Listen in as she preaches about the difference between decoration and dedication. 

Those of us who survived the 60s did have one invaluable take-away ... culture follows music.  While powerful anti-establishment lyrics did temporarily redirect the war industry, so we thought, those tumultuous times we're orchestrated to plant insidious seeds for a larger psyop that would later reveal itself. On this Alfacast we have a delightful musical talent making waves through music, but with eyes wide open.  Grant ‘Prezence' Ellman is a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and producer from Sedona, Arizona. His 2021 truth-bomb dismantling the SCAM of “covid” and “government” was censored from Spotify within a week of release. Prezence is fiercely devoted to his mission of spreading TRUTH, FREEDOM and LOVE through radio ready records, vivid videos and lucid live performances. His studio work is completely self-produced, mixed, mastered, shot, edited and promoted, with a true DIY ethos and work ethic. On stage, Prezence captivates audiences by live looping multiple instruments, singing soulful vocals & live mixing — "dubbing" his loops. His innovative Ableton Live rig pays homage to dub pioneers King Tubby & Lee "Scratch" Perry as well as modern dub masters Umberto Echo and Laurent “Tippy I” Alfred. With heavy inspiration from the modern reggae of Midnite, Protoje, Jesse Royal, Kabaka Pyramid, Grant weaves elements of funk, jazz and rock into a sonic tapestry that is uniquely, and undeniably, Prezence. In just one false election cycle, he's released three albums worth of singles, videos to boot. His empowering energy has graced main stages at Rise & Vibes, Unison, Music & Sky, Totality, Viva Iriezona, Anarchapulco, The Greater Reset, where he's supported the likes of Steel Pulse, Tribal Seeds, Kabaka Pyramid, The Elovaters, The Movement, Mike Love and Dub FX — just to name a few. Prezence is grateful to have found his life's purpose making music and sharing that gift with others.  Please join this episode as we have an insightful discussion on the present state of our world, and if we're lucky, Prezence just may entertain us with an inspiring tune.

Afternoon all,I've gone solo again as I enjoyed it so much last week and Jai is still going through it. He'll be back next week.Points I covered here:* Planned protest - Made a mockery and laughing stock of Chelsea fans. Needs to be done in unison, needs some proper organisation across some polls, needs even like an independent fan board to head and organise it the right way with pro graphics etc. Does not need Racism, Xenophobia, fans bickering over the real reasons for the protests, and needs context and reason as to why it's happening. The word ‘American' or ‘Yanks' should not feature in ANY promo material for it or by anyone protesting.* Going through the latest fan Polls on owners/SDs* Can SDs/Club turn things around? * New info, SDs are under some pressure after January window weakened the squad.* Viktor Gyokeres and Marc Guehi linked - is it briefings to calm fans down or are they genuine? Gyokeres 27 in June, Guehi 25 in July. Right step forward?* Villa vs Chelsea 5.30pm Saturday - Villa could go one point behind us. Looked good against Liverpool.Thanks for stopping by!Peace, Si.

In early 2025, we see stress that we have not seen before. The GAO has issued a report examining the federal IT Acquisition process and concluding that it needs to strengthen oversight, implement a mature acquisition strategy, and have a capacity-capable system. Today, we sat down with Reid Jackson from Unison to discuss how to make these key acquisitions.  During the interview, he discussed Acquisition Management, Cost Engineering, Virtual Acquisition, and Project Management. Unison has been involved in federal acquisition since 1984 and has a deep and thorough understanding of the procurement process.  Reid Jackson relates that some newer organizations may have a superficial knowledge of regulations and may deploy software solutions that do not enable astute and effective decisions for federal agencies. During the interview, Reid Jackson from Unison overviews many aspects of these challenges.  

It's another installment of Spirituality and Politics with Marielena Ferrer. Joining us today is... Lexa Walsh an artist, cultural worker and experience maker.  Her upbringing as the only bad athlete in a family of fifteen in the Philadelphia suburbs, and coming of age in the Bay Area post punk cultural scene of the 1990's informs her interest in alternative lifestyles, economies and communities. With a background in both sculpture and social practice, Walsh makes site specific projects, exhibitions, publications and objects, using an array of materials including ceramics and textiles, employing social engagement, institutional critique, and radical hospitality to question hierarchies, power and value.  She recently relocated from Oakland, CA to the Hudson Valley. The In Between: Tea Talks are series' of intimate facilitated discussions over home cooked meals that bring together conflicting populations of artists, activists, workers, Veterans, civilians, and others in a hospitable environment so each may share their positions in a safe yet open and critical dialogue. The goals of the project are to: Complicate the current good vs, evil/us vs. them narrative while eliciting understanding and extracting nuances from all sides. Engage in local micro politics while placing these issues in the larger current political landscape.Create a space for hospitable democracy.Share understanding about issues affecting our communities to a broader audience.Walsh founded the experimental music and performance venue the Heinz Afterworld Lounge, and co-founded and conceived of the all women, all toy instrument ensemble Toychestra.  Walsh worked for many years as a curator and administrator at CESTA, an international art center in Czech republic, whose team created radical curatorial projects to foster cross-cultural understanding. She founded Oakland Stock & Soup for Social & Racial Justice, and the Bay Area Contemporary Art Archive. She is a graduate of Portland State University's Art & Social Practice MFA program and was Social Practice Artist in Residence in Portland Art Museum's Education department. She was a recipient of Southern Exposure's Alternative Exposure Award, the CEC Artslink Award, the Gunk Grant and was a de Young Artist Fellow. Walsh has participated in projects, exhibitions and performances at Apexart, di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art, FOR-SITE, Grand Central Art Center, Kala Art Institute, Marin Museum of Contemporary Art, NIAD, Oakland Museum of California, SFMOMA, Smack Mellon, Walker Art Center, Williams College Museum of Art, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and has done several international artist residencies, tours and projects in Europe and Asia.Lexa and Marielena are co-hosting a Tea Talk at Unison Arts on Saturday, March 1st from 3-5pm. There's also a Destroy to Create event happening at Unison this Saturday, February 15th.

Lead Pastor Chase preaches this week about a particular component of Unison's existence. It may serve as a reminder for many, but Unison is a multiethnic community on purpose. Our diversity glorifies God and represents Christ the way He prayed would happen.

Lead Pastor Chase preaches today about the barrier to spiritual influence of narrow-mindedness. Our many-faceted God leaves much room for differences among His people.

A Good Start To 2025. On Saturday last leading trade union activists from across the island of Ireland came together in Newry for a packed Ireland's Future event in the Thomas Davis Hub. It was a wet winter morning and i was pleasantly uplifted by the turn out. The panel included ICTU assistant general secretary Gerry Murphy, Unison regional general secretary Patricia McKeown, Phil Ni Sheaghdha, general secretary of the Nurses and Midwives Organisation, Katie Morgan of FORSA, Greg Ennis of SIPTU and Gerry McCormack of the ICTU. It was a lively and informative debate which pointed to a much better future for workers in a united Ireland.Ireland's Future is for holding the referendums by 2030 and Saturday's public sectoral meeting is part of a consultation for what it believes is the ‘crucial five-year period' ahead of us.Niall Murphy, who is the secretary of Ireland's Future explained that it seeks “to continue to inform, educate and stimulate the conversation on constitutional change in the years preceding a referendum. The pace of change has quickened and we are firmly of a belief that a referendum will take place around the year 2030, therefore it is incumbent upon the political administrations in Dublin, Belfast and London to prepare, and it is also imperative that civil society, including the trade union movement, recognises the constitutional space we are now entering.”Let the Music Keep Your Spirits HighI am not a big watcher of television. When I have my way – which is usually when everyone else is out – the TV goes on only when there is something I want to watch. Other times it is a constant background noise. An intrusion. Like white noise.Sometimes I just like the silence. Or some good music.Alexia and I have become friends. I like to listen to music when I'm writing. So Radio Na Gaeltachta, Radio Fáilte, Lyric, Radio Ulster and RTE Radio1 are my broadcasters of choice. I also have tons of tunes on my phone. And an IPod loaded up with thousands of songs from Seamus Drumm who has the most expansive reservoir of ceol of anyone I know. My ambition is to listen to all Seamie's collection before I die. Listening to music on these various devices wraps me in a melodious comfort blanket of uplifting sounds. Sometimes I will even join in.A CeasefireThe ceasefire in Gaza is only a step in a long process. It is about justice, peace, and the right of the Palestinian people to have self determination.
