Bonjour à toutes et tous ! Voici l'épisode #467 de Geekorama. Voila le brouillon de ce que va devenir une émission sur 4. La cafétéria. Tous nos sujets prétexte à discuter, à se cultiver, qui sont en quelque sorte hors podcast, nous allons les retrouver ici, dans la cafétéria de Geekorama. Une bonne écoute.

Sa propre ville au Texas. Voila le nouveau projet de Musk. Et elle déjà en construction. Nommée Snailbrook il s'agit de créer une communauté destinée principalement aux employés de ses entreprises, telles que SpaceX, Tesla et X.Un projet de ville-entrepriseSituée dans le comté de Bastrop, à environ 50 kilomètres à l'est d'Austin, Snailbrook est conçue comme une ville-entreprise, un concept où une entreprise fournit non seulement des emplois mais aussi des logements et des services à ses employés. Elon Musk a acquis des milliers d'hectares de terres dans cette région pour y construire des infrastructures destinées à ses sociétés. Le nom "Snailbrook" fait référence à la mascotte de The Boring Company, un escargot, symbolisant l'objectif de construire des foreuses plus rapides qu'un escargot .Infrastructures et servicesLe projet prévoit la construction de plus de 100 logements abordables, avec des loyers estimés à environ 800 dollars par mois, bien en dessous du marché local. Cependant, ces logements sont conditionnés à l'emploi : en cas de licenciement ou de démission, les résidents disposent de 30 jours pour quitter les lieux. En plus des habitations, Snailbrook comprendra des installations telles qu'une piscine, des terrains de sport et une école Montessori pour les enfants des employés .Objectifs et motivationsL'objectif principal de Musk est de créer un environnement intégré où ses employés peuvent vivre à proximité de leur lieu de travail, réduisant ainsi les temps de trajet et favorisant une meilleure qualité de vie. Ce modèle rappelle les villes-entreprises du passé, où les employeurs fournissaient des services complets à leurs travailleurs. Musk envisage également d'incorporer la ville sous une forme officielle, ce qui lui permettrait d'exercer un contrôle accru sur les réglementations locales et les infrastructures .Réactions et préoccupationsLe projet suscite des réactions mitigées. Certains y voient une opportunité de développement économique pour la région, tandis que d'autres expriment des inquiétudes concernant la concentration du pouvoir entre les mains d'une seule entreprise. Des questions se posent également sur la dépendance des employés vis-à-vis de leur employeur pour leur logement et leurs services essentiels, ainsi que sur les implications en matière de droits des travailleurs et de gouvernance locale.ConclusionSnailbrook représente une initiative unique, reflétant la vision d'Elon Musk pour une intégration plus étroite entre vie professionnelle et personnelle. Alors que le projet continue de se développer, il soulève des questions importantes sur l'avenir des villes-entreprises et le rôle des grandes entreprises dans la structuration des communautés.

Il est décidément incroyable, imbattable, et son appétit n'a pas de limite. Oui le cannibale slovène a toujours faim de victoires et les ardennaises étaient cette semaine à son menu. La Flèche Wallonne et Liège-Bastogne-Liège se sont fait dévorer tout cru par Tadej Pogacar. Le Slovène qui n'a laissé aucune chance à la concurrence remportant deux victoires probantes qui ont laissé ses adversaires sans voix et les suiveurs pantois. Voila qui vient clore un printemps exceptionnel pour le meilleur coureur au monde qui va désormais gouter à un repos bien mérité. Et aujourd'hui dans Grand Plateau on va évidemment revenir sur la doyenne des classiques qui n'aura pas été le monument le plus sexy du printemps la faute, non pas à Pogi, mais à ses adversaires désignés tel que Remco Evenepoel bien décevant sur ses terres alors qu'il nous avait donné des raisons d'espérer la semaine passée. Comment expliquer sa défaillance ? Si Pogi décroche la palme d'excellence du printemps, quid des autres ? Et les Français dans tout ça ? Il n'y a pas de quoi sauter au plafond. Le baromètre n'est pas vraiment au beau fixe même si Kevin Vauquelin nous a apporté un peu de réconfort dans la semaine en terminant 2e de la flèche Wallonne uniquement battu par Pogi, et ça, ça vaut presque une victoire.Avec Christophe Cessieux, Pierre-Yves Leroux, Pierre Koetschet, Maria Azé et Jérôme Pineau Production : Roxanne LacuskaRéalisation : Vincent Cauchois

Hey there, fabulous listener!

Send me a text message. Suggestions? Subjects for future podcasts? Let me know--thanks!I wrote this poem this morning to use for reading and pronunciation practice in my class on Tandem. I didn't write it deliberately to be good for teaching English, but it turned out that it was. Hope you like it.I'VE LOST MY MINDI've lost my mind.I asked my wife.“Look in your jacket pocket,” she said,Like my mind was a wallet or keys to the house.No dice.I asked my son:“Check in the freezer,” he said.“Maybe it fell in there when you were looking for ice cream.”I looked. Not there, But I did find a mango-strawberry popsicle.I asked my daughter.“Did you look in the car?” she asked. “You're always leaving stuff in the car.”I checked on the seats and under the seats and behind the seats—no luck. I even checked in the trunk. My mind wasn't there, but I found a lot of trash.I bagged it and tossed it. I even vacuumed Up all the sand from our last trip to the beach.Finally I asked my dog.He stood on his hind legs and looked into my head.Then he barked, licked my ear and VOILA!My mind rebooted!It wasn't lost at all. Just napping or maybe MIA.Man's best friend, the dog.Only one thing worries me.Did he find my mind by sight—Or smell?By B.

Alors aujourd'hui, je vais te partager un truc qui pourrait totalement changer ta manière de travailler (et de vivre, accessoirement). Je parle de l'idée d'avoir un emploi du temps où tu bosses 5h par jour. Oui, tu as bien lu, seulement 5 heures par jour. Si tu t'es dit "mais comment tu fais ?", tu es au bon endroit.Dans cet épisode, je vais t'expliquer comment j'ai réussi à transformer ma manière de bosser pour avoir plus de temps pour moi, tout en restant super efficace dans mon business. Parce que franchement, la vie c'est pas juste bosser, n'est-ce pas ?

Two stories of scholarly lasses with healthy libidos.Based on the posts by Select Redux. Listen to the ► Podcast at Steamy Stories. Stimulating ReadingSexual adventures amid the bookshelves.Unlocking the big oak doors, Emily glances up at the Spring sun filtering through the stained-glass windows of the 'Institute'. Originally endowed by a Victorian benefactor, now part of a modern university, this old building goes unnoticed by most people passing by on this bright 1993 morning.The research library within opens just three days a week with Emily, its part-time librarian, fitting the job around her PhD studies. Some colleagues consider it a fusty backwater; Emily rather enjoys the church-like surroundings, lofty ceilings and marble floors, and calm, quiet ambience.Starting the day as usual at 8.45am, Emily turns on the lights, picks up the post and then sits at the front desk waiting for students to arrive. The job isn't the most exacting; mainly helping undergraduates locate obscure books, its perk being plenty of time to write her thesis and, blush-making to admit, peruse the rather splendid erotica section. Something that's become a bit of a habit, leaving her distracted and almost perpetually aroused.This 'special collection' is kept locked; its key is supposedly secure in a safe; in fact on a chain around Emily's neck. Currently 'in between boyfriends' (no, not like that!) in truth modern men, mostly boys inhabiting adult bodies in her opinion, don't do it for Emily. Call her traditional, she wants someone old-fashioned.Emily's romantic, bookish outlook on life sometimes feels unsuited to modern times and is exemplified by today's attire: cardigan, blouse, and a string of pearls, the epitome of respectability; a typical librarian. A knee-length skirt, sensible shoes, minimal makeup and glasses habitually perched upon her head complete the academic look. However, underneath one (who? she reflects glumly) might be surprised to find some almost sinfully brief lingerie adorning her trim figure. Perhaps not so conservative;Later that afternoon, Emily looks at her watch, half an hour until closing, not likely to see anyone else today she thinks. Wrongly, because striding confidently through the rotating door and purposefully approaching her desk is a new customer. In contrast to the usual scruffy students (although arguably the lecturers are worse) he's smartly dressed. Wearing a tie in fact; Emily likes a chap in a suit and his fits very well. This tall man with silvery grey hair favors her with a confident smile and Emily melts inside, lust at first sight.Michael, they are quickly on first name terms, is a postgrad mature student working on the final dissertation of an English literature MA. He's taken a couple of weeks' leave from an unspecified (Emily suspects high-powered and well-remunerated) job to complete it. Meaning, she sends a silent prayer of thanks to whichever celestial deity might be responsible, he'll be making frequent trips to the library. Visits she soon begins to eagerly anticipate, feeling disproportionately disappointed on days when this charming, personable and undoubtedly assertive man doesn't appear. Get a grip girl, chides her inner voice, whatever your fantasies this is a purely professional relationship."What did you do before studying," she enquires one morning."Came from money, followed the family tradition into the City and made some more," he shrugs. "Clichéd thing for a privileged person to say but it didn't make me happy.""What does?""Good writing, which explains why I'm here in literary mode, how about you?""A very bright kid from a feckless, under-achieving family; got a scholarship, got out of my dead-end town and got a higher education. Not having money means I have to take a series of dull jobs to pay my way." There's no need to make her point any more strongly, Michael gets the implication."I detect a steely determination," he responds without rancor."Academically, yes," she agrees, "in order to remain with my beloved books, but unfashionable though it is I'd happily be rescued by a knight in shining armor. Will you be my knight?" Christ, she thinks, where did that come from? Silly mare you've blown it now."If you'll be my damsel in distress I'd be delighted," Michael answers lightly, but a die has been cast."What are you working on today?" he enquires conversationally when next visiting."These books were recently acquired for the special collections section. I'm trying to catalogue them," she explains, outwardly serene, but heart beating fast."Ah the erotica," Michael raises a knowing eyebrow, "better leave you to it then." He turns to a nearby table with a couple of hefty tomes and commences making notes while covertly observing Emily, absently twirling a lock of hair with one hand, the other no longer on the table but underneath. Much later, abruptly jolted from a pleasurable reverie by his shadow, Emily becomes abruptly aware of Michael's looming presence."You're spending a lot of time on books from that particular genre," he says, it isn't a question."Well; " she stammers."Perhaps that's why you've twice left the University's precious erotica shelves unlocked lately?"Her eyes widen in shock. "How did you know?" It's true, no point in denying the fact."I notice things. An accident I'm sure, but rather careless, some might even say naughty. Are you naughty Emily?" Silence, the cat has got her tongue. "Do you deserve to be punished? Might that be a better solution than the matter being brought to the attention of the Vice-Chancellor?" Michael presses home his advantage. "Those rare editions are extremely valuable. Perhaps you need to be taught a lesson, bought to book one might say." Emily gets the joke, but it's no laughing matter."Punished; lesson?" she stammers, "what do you mean?""I think you know to what I'm referring, you've read enough about spanking, no doubt wondered what it might be like. I don't believe you're as innocent as you pretend Emily, I saw you slide a hand under your skirt just then. Most unprofessional, you deserve to have your bottom smacked.""Oh; " Overwhelmed by his quiet certainty that she'll obey, Ellie discovers in herself a complimentary willingness to defer; feels her pussy throbbing with desire at every word Michael utters. This is ridiculous, thinks her rational brain, I'm an independent woman, he's no right to demand my obedience. But you know you want to, responds her libidinous subconscious, you've so often dreamt of such a scenario, and how you'd willingly submit;She nods anxiously towards the door. With an unreadable expression, Michael walks purposefully towards the entrance, locks it and returns."Bad girls require discipline," he whispers in her ear."They do, sir," she meekly agrees."Come here." Emily stands next to him, hands behind her back."Turn around and lean forward against the desk."Deferentially, eyes downcast, Emily complies; wrapping his left arm around her slender waist Michael slowly, and deliberately raises her skirt. Emily wishes her boobs were just a little bigger; wishes her arse was just a little smaller but knows her lovely legs are just right. Now so does he.A grunt of male disapproval, "I don't like tights," he tugs her pantyhose down revealing flawless bottom cheeks, "next time I expect you to wear stockings." Next time, who said anything about next time? Despite her mounting panic, Emily has an epiphany of understanding; Michael's coercion is more implied than actual, less of a threat by him as a need within her. He runs his hands appreciatively over her pristine, unmarked bottom then tugs those unexpectedly racy, almost transparent black panties up hard into Emily's damp divide, the silken scrap disappearing between puffy pussy lips, chafing her swollen clit."Turns you on doesn't it" he growls, holding her tightly."Yes, but I'm scared," she whispers and it's true, the physical proximity and her helplessness in the hands of an alpha male are more exciting than anything Emily has ever before encountered.Emily tenses, holding her breath, awaiting the inevitable; yet the initial smack still catches her by surprise. At first, it's mainly about the ringing percussive sound, a numbing shock. Prudently Michael allows a pause, he can tell it's her first time. Gradually her skin pinkens and a sharp stinging sensation suffuses Emily's posterior."Oh," she looks at him wide-eyed, "oh yes," amazed by her compliance with the punitive intentions of a man she scarcely knows. A second spank, slightly harder this time."Feeling it now aren't you," Michael mutters, "rather different from in the stories you're so keen on?" True, the reality of what before was only fevered fiction is raw and immediate." I'll stop if you ask me to," he adds."Surely not when I've been so wicked," Emily replies huskily. The scene is set, and his hard palm strikes her bottom repeatedly as Michael methodically and unhurriedly continues, Emily's body responding animatedly to the burning sensation gradually suffusing her derriere."Keep still," he commands as she squirms in a futile attempt to dissipate the smart.Eventually, Emily has no idea how long, five minutes, or an eternity, Michael ceases her chastisement. Both are breathing heavily now, albeit for different reasons. He slides a hand up her inner thigh and under her knickers."Good girl," Michael whispers, pushing an exploratory digit into Emily's sopping sex. She shuts her eyes and moves against his fingers, Emily is needy, alas, her evident excitement is unrequited. Taking her by the shoulders, Michael turns the shaken young woman to face the wall."Make yourself respectable," he instructs in a tone countenancing no dissent, "don't move until I've left, no rubbing your bottom, or anywhere else. I'll let myself out," he kisses the top of her head, "and be back soon to do one final bit piece of research, don't miss me too much."And then he's gone; taken Emily to the edge and abandoned her unsatisfied. Which, thinks Emily, bottom glowing fiercely, is truly sadistic. Simmering with sexual awakening, she's no intention of being denied. Walking stiffly towards her chair Emily sits, wincing as her tender buttocks contact with the seat. Legs spread and eyes closed she pushes a hand down the front of her panties and addresses her pent-up frustration with flying fingers, and soon has a shattering orgasm.On Monday morning, after a weekend mentally replaying this momentous encounter, and multiple flouting of Michael's embargo on masturbation, Emily walks into work full of hope for what the new week may bring. Inwardly more confident, her outward appearance has also altered. She's taken more care with makeup, mascara and her favorite cherry red lipstick. Does her best not to tug down her hem at every step. Emily hasn't previously worn such a short skirt and worries people may notice she's wearing stockings. Once at work, it's business as usual, albeit with some appreciative glances from borrowers, being desired is an unfamiliar but welcome ego boost. Emboldened, Emily experiments with undoing the second button of her blouse.She can't conceal her unhappiness when Michael fails to arrive and becomes increasingly despondent when he doesn't turn up on Tuesday and Wednesday either. By Thursday she's almost lost hope. Turning to the erotica collection for comfort a photograph falls from between the pages of a book on 'Le Vice Anglaise'. Emily looks aghast, Michael! But it can't be, the date scribbled on the back is 1936, does her dom have a doppelganger? All too much of a conundrum to deal with in her overwrought state, Emily locks up early and heads disconsolately home.On Friday she settles onto her stool and re-opens the same book. Was Michael ever really here, she wonders? Could this have been some sort of hallucination, an epic instance of self-delusion? Of course not, get real, examine the facts, she inwardly chides. Consider the evidence of two days of sitting gingerly, the finger marks on your sore buttocks visible in the mirror. She was spanked alright, the pertinent question being whether she will see Michael again, let alone reach the sexual conclusion so ardently desired. Not being clairvoyant, Emily doesn't have a clue about either outcome, for now, she tells herself sternly, you'd better get on with some work. Mentally listing the day's mundane tasks Emily doesn't notice a familiar figure quietly enter the building until he's immediately adjacent. Caught unawares her incipient shout of shock is stifled by his hand."I'll remove it from your mouth," his voice whispers, "if you promise not to scream, understood?" Emily remains frozen, struggling to get to grips with her predicament, then nods assent."Where did you appear from?" she enquires in a small voice."Not important right now," he shushes."Your picture; " She points at the faded sepia print on the table."My father," he laughs, "chip off the old block, aren't I? Long gone, of course, he put up the money to establish the erotica collection you've so much enjoyed." Helping the shaken young woman to her feet he moves Emily to face a bookcase."Just relax," he says calmly, trailing a hand teasingly up and down the back of her thighs."Relax," she tenses at the suggestion, "when I don't know what you intend to do.""I think you can hazard a pretty accurate prediction," he teases."I'm quite sure you're planning to punish me again," says Emily shivering with anticipation at the thought, "what might occur afterwards is what's preoccupying me.""What do you hope happens?" he enquires, lips brushing the nape of her neck."I think you can make a very good guess," Emily replies cheekily.Right now, she can't think of anything she wouldn't let him do, Emily has read many salacious books and has a vivid imagination."I'm enjoying your new look," says Michael appreciatively, "let's explore beneath; " He unbuttons her blouse to the waist, frees her boobs and rolls each erect nipple in turn between finger and thumb. In response, Emily kisses him hard on the mouth, her acquiescence clearly in no doubt. His other hand slips between her thighs and encounters wetness between them. Emily moans at this touch, yearning to be penetrated by the hard cock she can feel bulging through his trousers and pressing against her thigh."You'll endure a harsher correction this time," he murmurs, bending Emily across the desk while removing his belt."The door", she gestures urgently.He shrugs off her concern. "We'll just have to take the chance; I find a little jeopardy adds a frisson of excitement." Wrestling up the short, tight skirt exposes the soft curves of Emily's hips and beautiful bottom; Michael monetarily enjoys the sight, and then pulls her knickers down and off."Someone wants to be fucked pretty badly," he observes, a hint of amusement in his voice as he glimpses her damp, pouting slit. With no warning he straps Emily, hard and fast, leaving blazing bands of hurt across both cheeks and down to her stocking tops. She yelps, groans and stamps her feet, nevertheless thrusting out her buttocks to meet each of the worn leather's cruel kisses. A further dozen overlapping strokes sear across her fiery red behind until Emily thinks she can't possibly endure further chastisement."Hurts," she whimpers, tears in her eyes, although the perfect pain only serves to stoke a fire of arousal down below. Aware of her limits Michael runs his hands along the insides of Emily's legs and pulls her knees apart, leaving her open and exposed. His tongue repeatedly explores the length of her labia, right up to the nub of her clit, building each caress into a rhythmic repetition. Emily feels an orgasm inexorably approaching, her breathing becomes fast and uneven."Fuck you're tight," he observes crudely, sliding a finger into Emily's inviting pink cunny and then positioning his erection at her slick entrance."Stop teasing and do it hard!" she screams, last vestiges of dignity and reserve surrendered. Lewdly Emily pushes back her hips, anxious to have him inside her. Equally caught up in the intensity of the moment, Michael fills the lusty librarian with the cock she craves. All inhibitions abandoned, Emily feels the rhythm of his thrusts increasing, her pussy spasms and takes them both to an inevitable sexual crescendo. They lay silent for a moment before Michael chivalrously passes Emily a large linen handkerchief to mop the come leaking onto her nylon-clad thighs."I think my poor bottom has suffered quite enough for one day," she whispers sensually, "how about you take me home to your place and fuck me again, slowly and gently?""How about we take one of the books from the special collection to provide us with inspiration?" he replies."Oh, I think I've already done quite enough research," Emily responds with a giggle."Then let's grab a bottle of wine and see if we can't put theory into practice," agrees Michael.Cut to a year later, doctorate earned; Emily has been promoted to take charge of the main university library. There's a new young woman librarian at the Institute, still on probation and requiring guidance. Emily considers herself a firm but fair manager and has kindly offered an after-hours tutorial on the special collection.

The Queen is Mad is a musical tragedy inspired by the true story of “Joanna la Loca.” The elder sister of Catherine of Aragon, Joanna came to inherit the throne of Castile in 1504 – but her father and husband conspired to usurp her power by claiming she was mad and locking her away. Against the brutality and fanaticism of 16th century Spain, the show charts Joanna's quest for freedom and control of her own life. With shades of Passion and Wicked, this chamber musical fuses a contemporary classical score with a tale of power, betrayal and rage.

Journée spéciale sur RFI avec le chanteur de reggae ivoirien Tiken Jah Fakoly que vous retrouverez tout au long de la journée sur notre antenne. À l'occasion de son Acoustic Tour, Tiken Jah Fakoly est en concert ce mercredi soir à la salle Pleyel de Paris, concert que vous pourrez entendre en direct sur notre antenne. Cette figure majeure du reggae est réputée pour dénoncer les maux de l'Afrique et les travers de certains de ses dirigeants. Militant du panafricanisme, le natif d'Odienné qui vit au Mali revient à notre micro sur le dérèglement climatique qui touche le continent, la souveraineté africaine et la situation politique et sécuritaire au sein de l'AES, l'Alliance des États du Sahel. Il répond aux questions de Frédéric Garat. RFI : Vous êtes de nationalité ivoirienne, mais il est de notoriété publique que vous vivez au Mali depuis presque  20 ans maintenant où vous avez trouvé refuge. Comment va le Mali de 2024 ? Tiken Jah Fakoly : Je pense que le Mali va « à la malienne » parce que chaque peuple mérite son dirigeant. Et donc, je pense que ce qui se passe au Mali aujourd'hui, c'est parce que cela convient aux Maliens. Ce que je peux vous dire, c'est que le Mali va à la malienne. Depuis 30 ans que vous prônez l'Union des pays africains, la scission de l'AES ( l'Alliance des États du Sahel), qui sort entre autres de la Cédéao, est-ce que c'est clairement une désunion ? Et ça va faire mal à qui ? Disons que, moi, j'ai salué la solidarité entre ces trois pays qui sont en guerre contre le terrorisme. Se mettre ensemble pour chercher les solutions, c'est une bonne idée. Voilà, mais moi je prône l'unité africaine, les États-Unis d'Afrique, donc 54 pays. Donc, moi, je ne fais pas la fête quand il y en a trois qui se mettent ensemble. C'est une belle solidarité, mais qui n'est pas sans conséquence puisque dans ces pays-là, il y a des gens qui sont considérés comme des bons patriotes, et puis d'autres qui sont considérés comme des ennemis de la nation parce qu'ils ne sont pas d'accord avec les idées de ceux qui sont en place. Et……il y a des voix dissonantes….Oui. C'est ce que je déplore dans cette situation. J'aurais voulu que tout le monde soit associé.Pour que tout le monde soit associé, encore faudrait-il qu'on écoute les autres, même si ce sont des voix dissonantes ou des voix qui ne font pas plaisir. Et on a l'impression qu'en ce moment, tout le monde n'a pas le droit à la parole.Je pense que, je parle de liberté d'expression avalée par la révolution. J'aurais voulu que tout le monde s'exprime. Parce que vous voyez, si une personne ne peut pas dire ce qu'elle pense, elle va l'avaler, elle va gronder à l'intérieur. Elle peut même aller jusqu'à composer avec l'ennemi, elle peut souhaiter tous les jours après ses prières que ce qui en marche ne fonctionne pas. Et donc voilà, c'est ce qui est déplorable dans la situation. Mais le fait que des Africains décident aujourd'hui de prendre leur destin en main, moi, c'est quelque chose que je salue.On connaît les principes de la démocratie. Vous avez chanté et vous continuez à chanter la Mangercratie. Est-ce que, en ce moment, on n'arrive pas à une sorte de résurgence de la « militarocratie » ? Écoutez, c'est ça qui est un peu déplorable, parce que je pense qu'après les combats pour la démocratie, le combat contre le multipartisme, etc, et qu'il y a eu des morts au Mali, des morts en Côte d'Ivoire... pour la démocratie. Même si elle n'est pas top, la démocratie, même si elle a des failles, mais je pense qu'on n'a pas encore mieux...Elle est perfectible…Voila ! Et je pense que le fait que le peuple s'exprime, pour moi, c'est ça qui est intéressant. Que ce soient des bonnes élections ou pas, mais le fait que les gens se mobilisent pour aller voter, pour avoir leur mot à dire, je pense que c'est ce qui est intéressant. Donc moi, ce que je peux dire, c'est qu'aujourd'hui, au lieu d'être là tout le temps sous tension ou sous pression des coups d'États, etc, je pense qu'il faut tout faire pour être légitime. Il faut organiser des élections, quitte à se présenter.Je pense qu'on ne peut pas dire : « Non, c'est des militaires, ils n'ont pas le droit ». Il y a des militaires qui ont été le père de la démocratie dans leur pays : Jerry Rawlings, c'est pour le Ghana, Mathieu Kérékou pour le Bénin. On pourrait même dire ATT [Amadou Toumani Touré] pour le Mali. Donc, c'est possible, mais je pense qu'au lieu de rester dans un truc où on est toujours soucieux de « est-ce qu'il va avoir un coup d'État encore ? Est-ce qu'on va nous laisser ? »,  je pense que le mieux, c'est de se légitimer et puis en passant par les élections. Comme ça le peuple…Mais quand ? Quand ces élections ? Les militaires, on a l'impression, jouent un peu la montre quand même.Bon, tout ça dépendra du peuple malien, du peuple burkinabè, du peuple du Niger. Je pense que c'est à eux de fixer les objectifs aux dirigeants. Pas en restant derrière les écrans, parce qu'aujourd'hui malheureusement la lutte se passe derrière les écrans maintenant. Il n'y a plus de pratique. T'es pas d'accord ?  Tu prends [ton téléphone], tu dis « bon, c'est comme ça, c'est comme ça », il n'y a plus de « retrouvons-nous sur la place ». Et donc je pense que tout ça dépend des peuples de ces pays-là.Il y a un titre et un clip qui ont beaucoup fait parler d'eux ces derniers temps. C'est Actualités brûlantes qui est un titre du chanteur togolais Amen Jah Cissé. Chacun en prend un peu pour son grade... Le Togo, le Cameroun, le Tchad, la Côte d'Ivoire aussi. Qu'est-ce que vous reprochez, dans ce titre, à l'Alliance des Etats du Sahel (AES) ? Écoutez, il y a eu 26 secondes dans cette chanson consacrées à l'AES et qui ont fait un tollé. Voilà, je pense que les gars de l'AES pensaient que j'allais être le griot de l'AES, c'est-à-dire que j'allais chanter Assimi Goïta, capitaine Traoré et Tiani. Je pense que c'est à cela qu'ils s'attendaient. Mais moi, je suis Tiken Jah Fakoly, je fais du reggae, mon rôle, c'est de tenir compte un peu de tout le monde, d'être impartial. Donc, je ne pouvais pas...C'est le propre du reggae.Voilà ! Moi, je fais du reggae. Je fais du reggae et c'est ce que j'ai toujours fait. Donc, venir m'attaquer parce que j'ai dit que la liberté d'expression a été avalée par la révolution. Moi, j'ai été surpris de la réaction de mes fans, mais en même temps, on s'est...  Une réaction violente, c'était quel genre de réaction ?Ouais, c'était assez violent quand même. Assez violent, on m'a traité de tout. On m'a dit que la France m'a payé. Et on m'a dit que...C'est-à-dire que vous avez le droit de critiquer Faure Gnassingbé pour sa révision de la Constitution ou un quatrième mandat éventuel pour Ouattara en Côte d'Ivoire, mais vous n'avez pas le droit de vous attaquer à l'AES, c'est ça ? Non, je n'ai pas le droit ! Je n'ai pas le droit de m'attaquer à l'AES. C'est parce que je pense que dans l'esprit du soutien de l'AES, c'était Tiken Jah, c'est notre voix, voilà ! Mais moi, je suis aussi la voix des sans-voix, c'est ça qu'ils ont oublié. C'est que moi, je n'ai jamais chanté pour un pouvoir en place.Donc, chaque critique voit midi à sa porte en ce qui vous concerne.Exactement.Mais le Burkina Faso, c'est quand même un pays où, en ce moment, on voit quelqu'un que vous devez bien connaître : Guy-Hervé Kam, qui est l'un des fondateurs du Balai citoyen, qui est actuellement en prison. On voit des journalistes qui sont arrêtés, on voit des syndicalistes qui sont obligés de fuir sinon on va les envoyer au front. Il y a même des vieux pères comme un ex-ministre des Affaires étrangères, Ablassé Ouédraogo, 70 ans, qu'on a envoyé à Kaya. Ça, vous en avez parlé avec Traoré ? Vous en pensez quoi, vous, qui suivez aussi l'actualité au Burkina Faso ?J'ai même fait une interview à la télé burkinabè pour parler de liberté d'expression quand j'étais en concert là-bas. Seulement, les manipulateurs n'étaient pas rentrés dans le jeu. Parce que ce qui s'est passé, c'est que quand Actualités Brulantes sort, alors, les gens, ils prennent la partie AES, ils balancent sur le net, et puis ils disent que je demandais 83 millions aux dirigeants de l'AES et comme ils ont refusé de me donner……vous avez critiqué…Que j'ai critiqué. Donc, je pense que, non, si on empêche les gens de s'exprimer, eh bien, ils vont rentrer dans le complot parce que, voilà, s'ils ne peuvent pas dire ce qu'ils pensent, ils vont l'avaler, mais ils vont l'exprimer autrement. Malheureusement, moi, c'est ce que je craignais. Bon, aujourd'hui, on a parlé d'union des trois pays, mais je le dis franchement, le Burkina n'a jamais été aussi divisé à ma connaissance. Le Mali n'a jamais été aussi divisé. Puisqu'il y a des « bons Burkinabè » aujourd'hui et des « mauvais Burkinabè ». Et les mauvais Burkinabè, ceux qui sont accusés d'être des mauvais Burkinabè aujourd'hui, vont se battre pour être des bons Burkinabè, parce que ça y va de leur survie, et puis leurs descendants, etc., il faut qu'ils soient Burkinabè. Donc, malheureusement, on parle d'unité, mais moi, je pense qu'on n'a jamais été, malheureusement, aussi divisé.Moi, je souhaite – comme je l'ai toujours fait –, durant toute ma carrière, je souhaite qu'on laisse les gens s'exprimer, que ceux qui soutiennent les militaires s'expriment, mais ceux qui ne sont pas d'accord avec les militaires aussi s'expriment. Et tout ce que je peux souhaiter, c'est que l'armée burkinabè, que je salue ici, l'armée malienne et nigérienne arrivent au bout de cette tâche qui n'est pas facile. Surtout que faire la révolution avec les terroristes aux fesses, ça ne doit pas être facile. Je pense que Thomas Sankara n'avait pas les terroristes aux fesses. Je veux dire, le terrorisme, c'est une gangrène, c'est des gars invisibles. C'est une guerre pas facile, même les pays les plus développés ont eu du mal à s'en remettre.Mais est-ce qu'on peut tout faire au nom de cette lutte contre le terrorisme ? On ne peut pas tout faire, il faut tenir compte des Droits de l'Homme. Il ne faut pas tuer n'importe comment. Enfin, je veux dire, il faut tenir compte de l'humanité quand même. Je pense que... Mais bon, malheureusement, toutes les guerres sont sales. Il y a eu des guerres, ici, en Europe, c'était très sale. Malheureusement, toutes les guerres sont sales. Malheureusement...Justement, à une heure où l'on parle beaucoup du conflit en Israël ou du conflit en Ukraine, où toute la communauté internationale semble focalisée par ces conflits-là, vous avez l'impression qu'on oublie un peu ce qui se passe au Sahel, par exemple ?Oui, nous, on a toujours été oubliés. Je pense que des pays comme le Congo-Kinshasa sont en guerre tout le temps, parce que c'est des pays riches. Donc, pour les manipuler, il faut créer des situations pour que pendant que ça se tue, ça s'entretue, on puisse piller les richesses. Je n'accuse pas directement, mais je dis qu'à chaque fois qu'il y a des problèmes en Afrique, c'est minimisé. Mais c'est à nous de nous faire respecter. Je pense qu'il faut se rapprocher, il faut être unis pour représenter un gros bloc, pour que quand il y a des problèmes, les gens en tiennent compte aussi.La perspective d'avoir l'Union africaine ou un pays africain au sein du Conseil de sécurité des Nations unies, comme il en est question en ce moment, c'est une bonne chose d'après vous ? Ah oui ! Oui, il faut que l'Afrique ait une voix. Vous savez, nous sommes dans une chaîne mondiale, le monde ne peut pas fonctionner totalement sans l'apport de l'Afrique. Les matières premières de l'Afrique représentent beaucoup dans le fonctionnement du monde. Donc, si on apporte, il faut qu'on nous donne aussi la parole. Le fait de nous donner la parole, ça permettra de nous mettre au même niveau que les autres.Tiken Jah Fakoly, vous qui avez créé des écoles au Mali, en Guinée, en Côte d'Ivoire, la rentrée scolaire malienne, cette année, a été retardée à cause des intempéries et des inondations. À une heure où l'on a une COP29 à Bakou en Azerbaïdjan, est-ce que vous avez le sentiment que, une fois de plus, l'Afrique paye les pots cassés du dérèglement climatique ? Ah oui ! L'Afrique paye les pots cassés du dérèglement climatique alors qu'elle contribue moins au réchauffement climatique. Mais c'est la lutte commune qui va changer tout cela. Il faut qu'on se mette ensemble, faire un bloc, et puis dire « voilà, on ne peut plus accepter, on ne peut plus accepter que les choses se passent comme ça ». Il faut qu'on se mette ensemble pour représenter ce gros bloc avec une seule voix qui dira aux pays occidentaux : « C'est à vous d'arrêter vos usines et nous donner la possibilité de rattraper un peu ». Puis, je pense que dans cette affaire de climat, il y a une grande hypocrisie.Laquelle ?Personne ne veut s'attaquer à la Chine, alors que c'est l'un des plus gros pollueurs. Personne ne veut faire des reproches à l'Inde, parce qu'ils sont puissants. Et, malheureusement, tant qu'on ne dira pas les choses comme il faut, tant que chacun ne se rendra pas compte de sa responsabilité et ne changera pas de comportement, je pense que les choses iront toujours mal dans notre maison commune qui est la planète.Le fait qu'il y ait un climato-sceptique qui soit réélu à la présidence américaine ces jours-ci, Donald Trump, ça vous inquiète, vous, pour l'Afrique ?Au niveau du climat, ça m'inquiète. Je pense qu'il faut être fou pour ne pas voir ça, pour ne pas prendre des mesures. Mais bon, c'est la course à l'argent. L'argent, l'argent, l'argent, l'argent... Donc, je pense que c'est ce qui rend les gens fous. Moi, je pense qu'il est temps d'écouter la planète.L'un des autres arguments de campagne de Donald Trump, c'était la politique migratoire. On assiste aussi en Europe à un durcissement de cette politique, en France. Là aussi, c'est un motif d'inquiétude pour vous ? Un motif d'inquiétude pour tous mes compatriotes qui sont aux États-Unis. Je respecte, je veux qu'il y ait la liberté de mouvement, mais franchement, je ne fais pas partie des Africains qui veulent encourager les gens à partir. Je dis « tout le monde a le droit, mais notre place, c'est en Afrique ».Et vous respectez d'autres pays, d'accord, mais le respect, c'est une réciprocité aussi. Est-ce que vous ne pensez pas qu'il faudrait qu'il y ait peut-être une réciprocité aussi ? Mais bien sûr, bien sûr, c'est ce que j'ai dit dans mes chansons, comme quand je chante Ouvrez les frontières, ce n'est pas pour encourager, mais c'est pour défendre un droit. Parce que les Occidentaux, ils viennent en Afrique où ils veulent, quand ils veulent, faire ce qu'ils veulent, prendre ce qu'ils veulent et rester s'ils veulent. Donc, je pense qu'il serait important qu'on nous laisse aussi ce droit-là d'aller où on veut, quand on veut, faire ce qu'on veut.Mais pour que le message passe, est-ce qu'il ne faudrait pas faire, comme le Sénégal a fait une époque, du temps d'Abdoulaye Wade, où justement des visas avaient été imposés aux étrangers, notamment aux Européens qui voulaient vivre au Sénégal.Mais je pense que c'est ce qu'il faut faire. De toute façon, tôt ou tard, ça viendra. Je pense que nous, c'est nous qui allons demander un jour à ce que les choses soient limitées de notre côté. Parce que l'Afrique, c'est le continent - une fois qu'il y aura la stabilité totale dans les pays africains - l'Afrique sera le pays le plus sollicité. Et, je pense que, l'avenir nous le dira, je pense que c'est nous qui allons choisir quel Français va venir en Afrique ou bien quel Américain va venir. Je pense que c'est important qu'il y ait cette réciprocité, c'est ça qui va nous permettre de nous respecter les uns et les autres.À lire aussiTiken Jah Fakoly en live sur RFI

Voila!Erin and Brennan violently clash with this week's vexing political tragedy and turn to a vaudevillian veteran in a Guy Fox mask for solutions for voracity. Blood, bombs, and Shakespeare with a verbose soundtrack to boot! We have John Hurt, Stephen Fry, Natalie Portman, Stephen Rea, and Hugo Weaving all being the epic actors that they are in this 1984 inspired story of "V" vanquishing virulent vermin. Our only verdict is vengeance, a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

La început de Noiembrie, la Timișoara ajunge unul dintre cele mai complexe programe de art-terapie  program desfășurat mai întâi în perioada decembrie 2022 - februarie 2024, la Clinica de neuropsihiatrie infantilă din Timișoara, dar și o instalație performativă rezultată în urma proiectului ce va fi prezentată la Palatul Ștefania. Pe acest subiect vorbește artista Alexandra Balașoiu.   Art-terapia, conform definiției preluate pe pagina Asociației Române de Terapii Expresive este acel tip de psihoterapie în care clienții, insotiți de un art terapeut, utilizând materiale artistice, prin procesul de creație și prin produsul final, își explorează sentimentele, reconciliază conflictele emoționale, dezvoltă conștiința de sine, gestionează comportamentul și dependențele, dezvoltă abilități sociale, găsesc perspective noi de a privi realitatea, reduc anxietatea și cresc stima de sine.Începând din 31 octombrie până pe 4 noiembrie, Mind-moving propune explorarea complexității experiențelor umane. Mai exact, o expoziție construită ca un spațiu de reflecție asupra unor trăiri universale care pot fi atât răspunsuri la realitatea înconjurătoare, cât și adaptări patologice la experiențe de viață dificilă. Corpurile performerilor se supun unor logici de funcționare inspirate de tulburările mintale, dar publicul este invitat să-și croiască  propriul drum în această călătorie complexă. Prin interacțiunile cu pacienți din spitalele de psihiatrie partenere, cei de la Asociația Entuziart au avut șansa de a intra în dialog cu oameni având povești de viață remarcabile. Proiectul este despre ce este dincolo de etichete, dar și pentru a înțelege că oricine poate fi la un moment dat în situații limită, iar modul în care gestionăm situațiile de viață este diferit. Oricine poate fi vulnerabil la un moment dat. Mind-moving este despre empatie, înțelegere și destigmatizare, despre o altă perspectivă asupra sănătății mintale, incluzivă. A reflecta asupra impactului mediului și importanța legăturii cu comunitatea.Proiectul Mind Moving Mini Festival organizat de Asociația Entuziart propune primul festival-conferință de terapii expresiv creative din România, în cadrul căruia vor se vor desfășura prelegeri științifice și ateliere demonstrative, performance-uri pe teme legate de sănătatea mintală, precum și Expoziția Mixed-media Art In/Sane, curatoriată de dr.Valentin Veron-Toma. Instalația performativă mind moving va fi deschisă publicului pe toată durata festivalului. Instalația este o producție a Indie Box SRL realizată în decursul anului 2023 în cadrul proiectului cu același nume finanțat în cadrul programului RoCultura, în contextul programului Timișoara - Capitală Europeană a Culturii 2023. După mai multe activități derulate în spitalele de psihiatrie Voila - Câmpina și Bălăceanca, precum și după o rezidență intensivă de o săptămână la Voila, echipa și-a completat experiența directă cu pacienții și personalul în spitalele Louis Țurcanu și Gătaia, în cadrul proiectului MindMoving-TM (noiembrie 2023). Instalație performativă a fost prezentată în 2023 la București și la Asker (Norvegia).Asociația Entuziart este o organizație non-guvernamentală a cărei misiune este inovația și accesibilitatea în terapiile expresiv-creative. În anul 2021, Asociația a participat ca partener în proiectele Ship of Fools și Movemental, ambele co-finanțate de AFCN - o serie de concerte și ateliere de dans-terapie cu muzică live, în Spitalul de Psihiatrie Voila, Câmpina. În același an, Asociația a pus bazele parteneriatului cu Școala Specială Sf. Nicolae și cu Universitatea București derulând o serie de proiecte.

We love oranges for their fruity vitamin nature, but we don't realize that we make a huge mistake throwing away their peels. It turns out they can be used in so many different ways! Don't miss the fun bonus at the end and watch out for 3 light bulbs – the symbols of Bright Side we've hidden in this video. When you find them, make sure to let us know in the comment section. TIMESTAMPS DIY aroma candle 0:37 Save your plants 1:00 Keep the insects away 1:28 Great natural cleaner 1:53 A natural sponge 2:39 DIY Body Scrub 2:54 Start a fire 3:22 Deodorize your trash can and smelly fridge Shoe deodorant 3:41 Bonus: Orange smile 4:16 SUMMARY Orange smile: this use of orange peels won't save your plants or refresh your home, but it will surely brighten your day. Get creative with your kids or your friends and start an orange party. Eat the fruit, and keep the peels to cut some fun crazy designs to stick in your mouth. Now walk around as orange monsters trying to stay serious about it. See who will be the first to burst out laughing. Keep the insects away: orange oil works as a repellent with insects. Mosquitos, cockroaches and other bugs will leave you alone if you spray yourself with an orange peel repellent. Making it is super simple. All you have to do is dry some peels, blend them with water and keep the liquid in a spray bottle to be used whenever you need it. Rubbing orange peels onto your skin will have a similar effect if you don't have time to make the spray. DIY aroma candle: scented candles add a special aroma twist to your house and home. To make one of those yourself, cut the orange in half. Remove all of its contents, carefully leaving the stem intact. Then, fill the peel bowl with any cooking oil you like. Use the stem as a natural wick. Voila – your house will now smell like oranges, and it won't cost you a cent.

No hidden meanings in the episode's title, I had no real plan for a theme... no real plans for what I would include... except that I found a bunch of note cards, scrap of paper, etc. will ideas of things to talk about in my podcast. And it made me remember that I get some pretty awesome ideas... I just need to pay attention and execute on more of them. And of of those items was the exact first segment of this episode. Voila. Magic. Gold, Jerry. Gold!   And from them it just evolved.   There you have it. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

How to Support the Rob Skinner Podcast.  If you would like to help support my mission to multiply disciples, leaders and churches, click here:  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/robskinner Transcript of the Matthew Series The Parable of the Sower Matthew 13:1-23 Introduction ·         Have you ever wondered why more people don't become Christians?  If the good news is so “good,” why don't people respond in greater numbers.  This chapter answers that question.  ·         The preceding chapters have been filled with a growing division between those who responded well and those who responded poorly to Jesus and his teaching.  He had just been criticized and accused of healing through the power of Satan.  What connects this chapter with the previous two is that it provides and explanation of why some people respond positively to Jesus' teaching and some don't.  Jesus will teach a number of parables in this chapter and what ties them together is how people respond to the secrets of the Kingdom of God.  Some are fruitful and some barren, some are good grain and some are weeds, some people are good fish and some bad and some respond radically when they stumble onto treasure or pearls and some don't.  This is the mystery of the Kingdom, why do some people “get it” and some don't?  Jesus teaches this chapter to help his disciples then and now not be so naïve in their expectations and to strengthen their resolve and conviction when people don't respond or turn away from the good news.  He also has just highlighted the privilege that disciples have in being part of the family of God.  And when you are a part of the family, you share in the family secrets which he reveals in this chapter.    1.     The Parable:  Matthew 13:1-9 That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. 2 Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. 3 Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear.” ·         13:1-2  That same day.  This is the same day that Jesus was in massive conflict with the Pharisees and accused of being a tool of Satan.  I would characterize that a “bad day.”  I'd probably head home for a little “me time.”  I'd whine to my wife and feel sorry for myself.  What did Jesus do?  He goes out and starts teaching them and his disciples!    o   What does it take to get you derailed from the mission? ·         I want you to imagine what this scene looked like.  He draws so many people that he has to set up a way to separate himself from the crowds.  He sits in a boat and teaches the crowds.    You have the crowd of hundreds or more and then you have a small boat with Jesus and his 12 disciples.  This picture illustrates the division that Jesus would go on to expound on.  There were the crowds and then those few disciples who were in the know.  It highlights the division in understanding and response that Jesus will go on to explain. 2.     Why Use Parables?  Matthew 13:10-17 10 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?” 11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. 12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them. 13 This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see;     though hearing, they do not hear or understand. 14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: “‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding;     you will be ever seeing but never perceiving. 15 For this people's heart has become calloused;     they hardly hear with their ears,     and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes,     hear with their ears,     understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.'[a] 16 But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. 17 For truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see but did not see it, and to hear what you hear but did not hear it. ·         13:10  Parables  After finishing an extremely short sermon and offering no explanation, no application and no “Next Steps,” Jesus turns to the disciples in his boat and has a private conversation.  This must have been an awkward transition.  Can you imagine if I gave a complete sermon like that?  I wouldn't be here for long.    He goes on to explain why he is using this unclear means of communication.  From here on Jesus leans more heavily on these parables and only teaches the crowds using these parables.  The disciples turn to him and basically say, “Why are you teaching this way?  Why are you teaching in riddles?  Why don't you just spell it out for everybody?  It was a great question.  The word parable has not come up yet in the book of Matthew, although we've seen it mixed in with Jesus' teaching. Parables is more than just a short story.  It includes proverbs, maxims, riddles, allegories, wise sayings and other pithy quotes.  We often define them as short stories that illustrate or make clear a spiritual concept.  However, what Jesus is saying is that for every person who is helped by a parable another person is simply confused.  In fact, parables hide things.  Their design is to not reveal or explain everything.  The listener is forced to bring something to the table.  You have to wrestle with it, meditate on it.  Parables offer a challenge to the listener.  Many will not take the time or energy to understand the meaning.  This is the point of what Jesus is saying.  This is why Jesus calls the message a secret, not everyone gets it.  That's why some people respond and some don't. ·         Matthew 13:11  The secrets of the kingdom of heaven.  To know the message of the Kingdom is to know secrets.  Remember the documentary, The Secret, that came out about twenty years ago?  It talks about the law of attraction.  The message of Jesus is a true secret, the Greek word is Mysterion.  It's the same word used in Daniel 2:18-19, 27-30 and 47 where Daniel is able to reveal the mystery of King Nebuchadnezzar's dream while all the other wise men and enchanters can't do it.  Jesus is pointing out that God reveals his secrets to those he chooses.  We learn by revelation not by being “smart” or having personal insight.  Jesus says the message is given to you, not to them.  This points out the clear division of people into two groups. ·         Matthew 13:12  This saying is similar to “Success breeds Success” or “It takes money to make money” or “The richer get richer.”  Jesus is saying those who understand God's secrets start multiplying in their growth.  Understanding brings more and better fruit and it causes a chain reaction of good things.  On the other hand, those who reject the truth lose everything, even what little they think they have.  If you've ever seen someone who walked away or rejected Jesus who once was loving, happy and growing and then see them after a number of years, you see the difference. o   Example?  ·         Matthew 13:13-15  Hard hearted or Rejected by God?  Jesus goes on to quote from Isaiah.  This passage reveals the problem that people have in receiving God's word.  Their hearts are hard.  Most people can hear but only disciples can understand.  However, the point of this section is that people's response is both a fact of life and the purpose of God.  Mark 4:11-12 phrases it this way, “…To those on the outside everything is said in parables 12 so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving.'”  Matthew states that Jesus teaches in parables because people's hearts are hard and Mark points out that Jesus teaches in parables to harden people's hearts.   This emphasizes that Jesus teaches in parables to conceal the truth to some.  That doesn't sound encouraging does it?  This is one of those mysteries between human will and God's will.  Do people not respond because their hearts are hard or because God doesn't allow them to see the message?  It's like two sides of the same coin.  In any case, it is hard to avoid the difficult truth that God has chosen some to respond and others to reject his truth.  Parables reinforce this separation of response.  People respond according to their capacity, some are receptive and some not and that is how God has intended it.  You may not like it, but that's the way it is. ·           The best way to understand that is with illustrations: o   Pharaoh in Romans 9:16-18  16 It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God's mercy. 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden. §  The Bible says that God raise him up for the very purpose of highlighting God's power and glory.  Pharaoh's stubborn heart triggered God's plagues of power.  However, Pharaoh was at fault for being hard hearted toward Moses' words.  o   Butter and clay.  When the sun shines on butter, it melts.  When it shines on clay, it hardens.  Is it the sun's fault?  No.  It has to do with the response and makeup of the object. ·         Matthew 13:16-17  Blessed are your eyes.  Jesus is pointing out how lucky, how blessed, how privileged any person is who has heard and understands the word of God.  Why?  Because that understanding is a gift of God.  Without that revelation you would remain blind to God's secret.  o   We take it our faith for granted.  We neglect the Bible.  We don't appreciate what God has done in opening our eyes.  We wonder why others don't see what we see.  We wonder if we are wrong in our understanding.  You need to consider yourself the most blessed because God has opened your eyes to the truth.  We need to be grateful that any people make it at all. 3.     The Explanation:  Matthew 13:18-23 18 “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.” ·         13:18  The parable of the sower.  This title is a little misleading because the story and its interpretation has little to do with the sower himself.  It has everything to do with way different soils respond to the secrets of God's Kingdom.  A better title would be, “The Parable of the Four Types of Ground.”  It's important to keep in mind that Jesus is using this to explain to his disciples why people had so many different responses to him and his teaching in the events from chapter 11 and 12.  They were probably confused and a little shaken by the negative responses.  Jesus is emphasizing that the fault is with the soil, not with the seed.  ·         13:19.  Understanding.  Understanding is not intellectual understanding, it is changing your life to respond to the message of God.  It includes both a mental and physical response to God's word.  Just knowing the Bible without obedience is actually encouraged by Satan.  Satan comes and takes away the word.  Satan is actively at work in those who reject the Bible. o   “I'm good!” o   “I don't like organized religion!” o   “That's good for you, not for me.” ·         20-21.         Joy and enthusiasm without commitment of time, energy and resources can't last.  That person dries up, burns out and falls away.  How many of the people in these crowds were there when Jesus went to the cross.  Not many.  His disciples were there and even they struggled.  When your enthusiasm is based on feelings, circumstances, other people's enthusiasm and not your own conviction, you will fall away when tough times hit.  o   Share my testimony ·         13:22  Third Soil.  Worries, desires for other things and the deceitfulness of wealth chokes people out.  When we are focused on possessions and money and not God and saving people we betray a focus on this world that is passing away.  Some of us are choked out and not bearing fruit because our time, money, energy and attention is wholly focused on this world. o   We don't have time to study the Bible with people o   We don't pray or read the Bible because we are worried or preoccupied with something else. o   We don't tithe because our money goes to other desires o   We don't grow because we are too distracted by “other things.” §  The only solution is to take the time to remove the weeds.  I had a blackberry patch that I wanted to turn into a garden.  Step one, buy some goatskin gloves and start cutting out the vines.  Roll it all up like a bail.  Pile it up and burn it.  Rototill the ground and plant seeds.  Voila, we had a garden! ·         13:23           Many people don't understand the secrets of God's Kingdom, but some people understand and bear God's fruit.  This points to the fact that it's not a problem with the message but with the listener.  Some have ears, some don't.  The person who bears fruit or yields a crop is different than the previous soils: o   They have internal conviction o   They internalize the message o   They change their priorities and behavior o   They pull out the weeds that choke their lives.  ·         This parable applies to both those outside the kingdom and those inside.  There are different levels of fruitfulness, 30, 60 or 100 times.  It all depends on the condition of your heart.  It's not a competition, but it is a challenge to be as fruitful as YOU can be.  This entire story highlights the importance of producing good for Jesus.  o   A good life o   a good character o   the good fruit of souls saved ·         A fruitless hearer is like the fig tree cursed by Jesus.  Jesus said in Matthew 7:19, “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.” Conclusion Jesus explained why people had different responses to his teaching.  He wanted to prepare his disciples to have the strength and conviction to preach the word in the face of resistance. We need to scatter the seed to all four soils, to every person.  Some of us have given up.  We haven't passed out an invitation in months if not years.  Why?  Because we have told ourselves that people aren't open, that it hurts too much when people turn away after initial enthusiasm. ·         We blame ourselves ·         We blame our presentation ·         We blame our study series ·         We blame the preaching ·         We blame the preacher ·         We blame the church ·         We blame the message itself.  We think it's not up to date with changes in society.  The lesson of this parable is that there is nothing the matter with God's word.  The problem is with people's hearts.  Our job as disciples is simply to scatter the seed and apply God's saving word to every person we know or meet.

Whatever. I want to die. [I'll wear a collar, now.] [The Festival Project ™ ] Lil bittttzxxx I met a guy once, that told me Every time he came, He died. Every time he fucking came, He fucking died. “Alright, next lifetime.” Every single orgasm— Different lifetime. Every ejaculation— New fucking shit. Sometimes the bitch wasn't even the same. He would just cum, She turned into someone else. Oh no! I thought to myself like “Fuck that shit. I couldn't imagine that.” I couldn't even understand the concept— But as I would learn later the word “orgasm” does in fact mean “tiny death” Which is nuts. I started to wonder “Are all guys like that?” That would explain things. If they're all like that maybe that's why they seem to just— *poof* “All better now” Only from a woman's perspective it's more like— He turns into someone else. No, I'm still the same— Now he's over here like “I'm a king” I'm like “Really? Before you were just a cashier.” Hm. Look at that. I'm a cash register. lol. But then, I started thinking more about it— I've been celibate for a long time But sometimes I still— You know, Whatever. But I don't watch porn. I just think it all up— Just— Use my imagination. And after doing that for awhile, Like, for years, I started to ponder on this: With the age of OnlyFans and Snapchat and entire markets born from men needing something to look at to jack off too— And deciding I was against doing that for myself because, you know I didn't want the spiritual reciprocation of some dude collecting my photos and videos and jacking off to that shit. Like, even if I got paid for it— I'm going through all this spiritual shit , All this praying and meditation and I'm thinking “Like no, if someone's like, buying all my content I'm some how some way going to feel that spiritually.” “I'm going to have some kind of effect on my soul from that, and that's nonsense.” That's like selling your soul in a way— Like, yes, it's just photographs, It's just your body— But guess what. Your soul lives in your body! So— what! Someone's jacking off to a picture or video of you in exchange for money— That's a piece of you just — Out there, And you don't know who these guys are! They're just guys with money! Come to find out Every time he ejaculates to your photo or video, He goes into the next fucking life— And takes your picture with him. OH NOOOO. So I'm like, Fuck that. Let's just—- I don't need porn. I'll just make something up, Or like— Hey, I'll just-/ Fantasize a little bit. But then I realized, also— Like, That could be dangerous. What if I'm like— Doin-the-do— And someone from actual like real-life pops into my head. Uh oh! Then I was like, “Damn, what if. Like. Whenever I came, like, whatever or whoever I came-to, just like— Collapsed and shit” I'm like, “Ah—“ Some like supermodel from a magazine cover is like, Just fucking drops. Lol. Just falls out, somewhere. lol. Oh no! Now take like an outer look, You porn addicts. What if that happened to you? What if whoever the fuck you're jacking off to just— BLAM. Lol. Every time you cum— Whoever you're thinking about just— OH SHIT. Someone help him! Flat on their face. Oh no. What a world. Jesus. “Someone help him!”” Ahahaha. Now I have to be careful. I just make people up and hope to God there's no one on the planet that actually looks like that, who that might be. I just make dudes up, I'm like “I need a God” lol Create someone entirely just for this purpose, Who then just— OH SHIT. vanishes. {Enter The Multiverse} [The Festival Project ™] L E G E N D S //return negative energy to sender //return harmful energy to sender //reflect pain to sender >>banish demonic energy< -Ū.

We've heard them all, the quotes about money being the root of all evil, you can't take it with you, money can't buy happiness…but there's this one little thing that is seldom expanded on and that is the story of ‘dirty money'. There's plenty of fodder in that area…from the banker CEO to the coal company CEO…there's never an effort to help raise all boats, only the yachts. Capitalism is our theme. No, wait, is it bank robbing?  No, most likely the working man trying to put bread on the table. Hold on, I know. It's runaway inflation and the blame game. In any event, we'll be all over the board in today's show, bringing you music about money cravin' folks from Blind Alfred Reed, working down on Maggie's Farm and we'll also have ourselves a hint of a fireside chat to make us feel better. We'll also head down to coal country and Bonnie and Clyde, Woody Guthrie, and “Voila! An American Dream” from Rodney Crowell. Tune in. Should be fun. 

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comI couldn't really do what I set out to do yesterday. It was too hot in the city, so I went for an afternoon walk in Forest Park. I was interested to hear what it sounded like when the thermometer hit triple digits; something it rarely used to do around here.It was quiet. Did I say it was hot? Instinctively I wanted to be near water. I figured the wildlife did too. Many hillside streams were dry as a bone, but I eventually reached one with a trickling flow. I soaked in the ambience before heading back to civilization.Summer might have been my favorite season as a child. Not any more. Heatwaves and forest fire smoke makes me anxious these days. Thankfully we've been spared the latter so far this season. Doing something with my hands offers some solace. Finding my way through a composition gave me something to focus on. Voila; a very hushed 20 minute soundwalk and a minimal keyboard mediation for hot days in a warming world.My go-to (virtual instrument) keys have been the Hohner Pianet T lately, the least famous of the 60's and 70's electric pianos. I just Googled “songs with Pianet” and interestingly “Louie, Louie” by The Kingsmen topped the list; probably the most famous act to hail from Portland in the 60's. I have to say the instrument doesn't really stand out in that song though. It appears on several Beatles songs as well. I just like its mellow tones.But I digress. To break it up, I sprinkled in some celeste and Korg Prototype 8 keys during the streamside passage. A solo performance throughout. Enjoy!

hi there soul friend! today, I am celebrating and doing a big ole' happy dance! I found my editor for my first book! After finishing my book draft in January, I've been paralyzed by fear of failure and disappointment for three months, and haven't done anything with it.   Last month during my yoga retreat in Bali, I had a major breakthrough and haven't felt this free in over three years! I've been working on befriending my fears to move through my problems towards possibly.   So, last week, I did this meditation that I share in EP 194 of the MINDFUL PAUSE PODCAST, and then used chat GPT (I call her Lucy), to help me get unstuck. Within seconds after giving some parameters for a back of book blurb and my first chapter, Lucy created a succinct 150 word blurb. This gave me the inspiration to send this to some editors on reedsy.com and…   VOILA! Within an hour, all of those 3 months of fear transmuted into momentum.   Fear can feel so BIG, unknown and uncomfortable (and also at times comfortable, because it's what we know).   But we have a choice – lean into fear or let it rule us?   When we lean into fear, listen to it, and move through it with love and courage, we unlock a freedom and creativity that expands our lives in unimaginable ways.   The potential of our dreams becomes bigger than the problems from fear.   In this week's podcast episode, we're exploring the nature of fear and how befriending it leads to true courage and creation.   we reflect on: What do you truly want? How is fear blocking this desire (patterns, habits, beliefs?) Inviting fear in and understand why it's so afraid What steps do you need to take to move forward?   Remember, you are brave. You are supported. You are worthy. You are enough. And you matter.   Much love, Audrey

Welcome back to Bri Books. In this episode, I'm sharing my garden starter hacks, including a gardening method I created myself! This method has taken my gardening and succession planting to the next level when it comes to growing my own food. I call this my "theBriGarden Breakfast Gardening Method." I created and coined it myself for @theBriGarden. It revolves around repurposing food waste to create a food bounty. Who would've thought breakfast is so ripe for gardening!?

Hard-bouled eggs release a trace amount of calcium into the water, and calcium is a mineral all plants need. It's a great idea to use hard-boiled egg water for your plants. Plants can benefit from calcium boost in hard-boiled egg water 2:45 - Hack #2: Eggshell planters! If you take your eggshells and break out the top, leaving ¾ of eggshell intact, that's a great container for starting seeds. You can begin so many seeds in eggshells, which are rich in calcium. Using eggshells whole can help recycle your breakfast food scraps. 3:40 - Hack #3: Eggshell fertilizer! Crushed eggshells are a great way to inject calcium into your garden and help deter slugs and garden pests. I created a fun TikTok of how to use eggshells in your garden. 4:10 - Hack #4: Coffee! Put your used coffee grounds in the soil to boost nitrogen in the soil and provide an acidity boost. It's the next best thing to organic fertilizer. Make sure you grind it up very fine so that the plants can receive the nutrients. 4:55 - Hack #5: Sprinkle of cinnamon! Cinnamon helps to fight off bacteria and fungus that causes damping, a disease that waterlogs the stem of the plant and stalls out the seedlings before they can grow. Cinnamon helps to deter this disease, so add a tiny pinch to your potting soil to keep your seedlings growing strong. 5:30- Hack #6: Egg cartons! Use egg cartons as seed starters to start seeds indoors on a regular basis. If a dozen eggs run out in 2 weeks in your house, that's enough time to get another succession planting round going in that empty carton without having to buy any supplies. Fill the empty eggshells with soil, plant a seed inside it, and place the seeded eggshell the egg carton on a window sill. 6:30 - Hack #7: Fruit boxes! Containers that your produce comes in is great to reuse as transplant containers. Before the seeds go into container gardens or into the ground, use these fruit boxes to help your plants mature is a great way to make your morning fruit snacking pay off. 7:15 - Hack #8: Coffee filters! Re-use coffee filters to line the bottoms of your pots and containers. Voila, leak-free gardening! Want to see the garden in action?

It's a Bible story we know so well. We've all heard it numerous times. Jesus feeds 5000 with 5 loaves and 2 fish. This miracle is in all four gospels. Honestly, you can't help but be amazed by it. It's pretty dramatic. Jesus takes a loaf, holds it up, asks the Lord to bless it and begins to break it. Voila. Everyone is fed. Everyone is satisfied. There are twelve baskets left over.The even cooler part is that this is just an affirmation of the character of God. This is not the first time this brand of miracle had been performed. The other cool thing is that the Jews would have known about the previous ones. So it should also have been proof of who Jesus was.
