Our Favorite Stories:Hotboxing the next blockbuster idea: starting a career at the tail end of the "Mad Men" era in digital healthcare advertising. Working with Rich Norman, Todd learned how Allegra got its name. "An articulation, not of the problem statement, but of the relief"."Many times in my career, humans were reduced to numbers or broad statistics... not individualized and not humanized, and while that was the political ethos and mandate, that did not feel right to me." If you are an 'Intrapraneur', you will be met with resistance. If you aren't... it may mean you were there at the right place / right time, or you aren't doing something right... and the latter is more pervasive. Half the job description was written: "When you join, you'll write the other half" - I learned the hard way that they didn't know what success meant. Funding innovation efforts upfront because it gives you that "seed" money, to create an internal venture. You don't want to have to go back and beg for each dollar. You want to phase it out in tranches and show something in return for that." Positive spike in American outlook of Pharmaceuticals since the outbreak of COVID-19 according to The Harris Poll, 2020. Big Moments from Doing the Work:Learning from trial and error: "I am a student of failure... in innovation you have to embrace it. It's only failure if you don't learn from it." Organizational shift from being Top-down to Bottom-up: borrowing good ideas from regional teams and scaling them at the enterprise level – the idea of an internal organ transfer vs an external transplant: the latter is prone to rejection. On having a Global leadership role: "when someone came from corporate... people would usually show me something that was a source of cultural pride." Whisked from airport to see protected artifacts in PragueA night at the Museum of the Resistance in WarsawEthnographic research: following the day in a life of key doctors in office and at home (US, Germany, France, & Italy)Meeting a doctor at his home in Madrid.

Hey now! Hey now! This week's episode is what dreams are made of as we metaphorically travel to Rome, Italy and review The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003). As the finale to the popular TV series on Disney Channel, timid Lizzie hopes to start fresh when she joins her junior high class on a graduation trip to Rome. There she meets the famous and charming singer Paulo who, along with the rest of the country, mistakes her as his former singing partner Isabella. Whisked on an adventure that tests the bonds of friendships and her ability to stand up for herself, Lizzie learns far more about herself than she anticipated. This movie had a vice grip on tweens everywhere when it first came out, but has that dwindled in the last 20 years? Or are we already designing our tear away dresses? Let's find out together!

Nonprofits Energize & Give Back To Communities On MLK Day Nonprofits across the country worked to engage and give back to communities this MLK Day. Virginia nonprofit Rise Against Hunger worked to fill 50,000 bags of food to serve communities in need. The article notes that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke often about hunger, and was a catalyst for this organization to focus on emergency food relief. In Charlotte, communities are finding assistance from nonprofits like Promise Youth Development, which serves to educate youth about Dr. King's legacy while advocating for social justice. In addition to providing kids with education and exposure to Dr. King's teaching, the nonprofit also fosters healing and relationship-building between students and police.

We're talking about some of the events that went on during M l k day as we're recording this the day after. And Nick I hope you had a great weekend and we're able to celebrate in your own way. , yes, it was a brisk but lovely weekend here in New York. We hope you're staying dry and safe out in California. [00:00:27] But to your point, yes, we want to talk about nonprofits giving back to communities on MLK Day. So yesterday it was MLK Day in Peas, United States and nonprofits across the country are. To give back to communities. One nonprofit in Virginia named Rise Against Hunger Work to fill 50,000 bags of food to serve communities in need. [00:00:50] Noting that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Himself spoke frequently about the issue of hunger which catalyzed this organization to focus on emergency food relief and in Charlotte. Communities were finding assistance from organizations like Promise Youth Development, which serves to educate kids and young people about Dr. [00:01:11] King's lead legacy while advocating for social justice. And recently they started providing kids with healing and relationship, building support between students and police during the ongoing conversation. Police and community relations in America. So I think that M l K Day is a point of reflection, a catalyst to service, and an opportunity for nonprofits to show how they are making their communities safer, more inclusive, and more just. [00:01:46] Yeah, it's great to see how the holiday evolves with the times and how it. Be used to spark those types of conversations and social impact activities. And just knowing that people are more primed to, to volunteer and have have those dialogues around this time. And of course moving into, in, in short order Black History Month coming up next month. [00:02:09] It is good to see also the amount of coverage in the news that we saw. [00:02:15] Absolutely. All right. Shall I take us into the summary? Yeah. What do we got? All right, George, I'm so excited for this story, not because the main antagonist of this story shares your name, no relation. , but we are talking about . George Santos, famed Republican congressperson from Long Island. Parts of Queens, but , his, George Santos has been in the news recently for as it turns out, fabricating almost the entirety of his resume, professional and personal background. [00:02:52] But the reason we are talking about him on this podcast is that Santos claimed to have started a animal welfare nonprofit called Friends of Pets United, and apparently, This nonprofit, which was listed as such on an early version of his campaign website in fact, did not exist. Apparently, the only inkling of. [00:03:17] Any evidence that such an organization existed is a now defunct Facebook page. But the nonprofit was never registered under the i r s never made donations to organizations it claimed to, and as Santo said, the group rescued 2,400 dogs and 280 cats between 2013 and 2018. However, there is absolutely zero evidence at all. [00:03:43] That such activities happened. This is a ghost organization and I. Leads into a broader narrative about how fake charities are, in fact a real problem. The article we link out to in the newsfeed@nonprofitnewsfeed.com goes through why this is such a problem because it diverts donations away from legitimate organizations as well as undercuts donors confidence in giving. [00:04:10] So George, what's your take on this? And then I'm gonna follow up and ask you what's your favorite, George Santos? . God, it's so hard to choose. Not really, no, nothing proud here about how there was failings, I think on several different levels. And if your immediate reaction here is to be angry at George Santos just acknowledge that there are many people creating many fake charities. [00:04:34] There are also many folks that look to take advantage by lying. Their accomplishments, resume in order to get ahead. And so where does the onus fall? If you're applying to a job, the hiring manager should check on these things, maybe call a reference. And I suppose if the United States Congress is hiring somebody, voters are hiring somebody, the news outlets, one of the branches of anything that we rely. [00:05:06] should maybe do background checks. And so I'd say there are a cascade of failures that led to this. And they're on both sides, really. D nnc opponents that did literally nothing in terms of researching their opponent. Journalists that put that name down without calling a single thing whatsoever, checking anything in IRS records, something that would've taken the amount of time. [00:05:31] a brewing, a cup of coffee would've revealed. And then the r n c, which is in an unenviable situation now, of letting someone in who is a categorical liar. And then you can see nonprofits here because nonprofits are frequently used to burnish the reputations of those that need that work done and that. [00:05:55] Story is on repeat. I would say one of those things, this is in the back of my mind, is whenever I hear now that the specificity of of work, right? You're out there counting that me number of cats, like there's a certain, like we've helped a lot, we've helped over hundreds to say 280 cats. Also why fewer cats than dogs? [00:06:16] 280 cats versus 2,400 dogs that, I, I don't know if those numbers would. and then released 3000 cats. Yeah, there's a lot of numbers here. They're too specific for me. , this is what I'm, it's. It's such a mess. , I can say that in addition to apparently creating a fake nonprofit and not going working at any of the jobs he claimed to have worked or going to school where he claimed to work Santos is in the unenviable position of being under county. [00:06:54] State and federal investigation in the United States, as well as under a case that was reopened in the lovely country of Brazil. Apparently they've been looking for him for a long time, and there he is in the US Congress. So yeah, hold on. Here's where allegedly, I wanna go back to the cats and dogs though. [00:07:15] Okay. So in the US approximately 4.1 million shelter animals are adopted each. , you wanna guess the breakdown? [00:07:26] I don't know. 50 50 precisely. 2 million dogs. 2.1 million cats. Okay. So going back to those numbers, this is why it's off, right? How are you that far off in terms of the rescue numbers? 2,400 dogs, 280 cats. I don't think this guy likes. I think there's a cat a bias against cats that you should look out for. [00:07:52] That's really, that's a spicy thing. He's not numbers, right? He's making up numbers. I will say his compatriot for the New York City mayoral election Curtis Sliwa is famously a cat person and has nine cats and is very pro catt. Maybe just many layers of division and rife and just bizarreness in this story, but, This does take us to our next story. [00:08:20] Both sad and fun as this one is about a nonprofit organization in Alaska which used $750,000 in federal funds improperly. So the Revive Alaska Community Services Food Pantry is very saying serious questions about how the group. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal funds throughout the pandemic. [00:08:45] Anchorage itself received a hundred million dollars to distribute to various organizations and. For various reasons. But nobody seems to know where this money goes and how that $750,000 helped feed families in Anchorage. There seems to be some just sketchy what happened here in the saga, and there's more details you won't get into, but it's important to be accountable. [00:09:16] Yeah. And sadly, I think we're seeing a lot of the, where did the money go now that the, pain of the pandemic has mainly passed from the peak periods and it's it's a reminder to, to be documenting these types of things and in your accounting. But this was, this seems pretty question. [00:09:36] Because they were given three quarters of a million dollars to rebuild a barn that was a food pantry . Instead, the structure was torn down. So you're like wait a minute. Little different. Not great. But we will go now from not great two. I think is great. George, you threw this article in from the inevitable Pew Research Center that the 118th US Congress, our current Congress is the most racially and ethnically diverse Congress in history. [00:10:09] So according to Pew Research This is actually the seventh Congress to break that record set by the one before it. And overall, 133 Senators and representatives today identify as black, Hispanic, Asian-American, American Indian, or Alaskan native. According to this analysis. And this is increasing in every Congress. [00:10:35] Interestingly, or perhaps unsurprisingly I think 80% of these members caucus with the Democrat Party. But that being Said Congress is becoming more representative of America as a whole. Approximately now Congress is approximately 75% white which is, brings it closer in line with the overall US population which is now at 59% white. [00:11:03] And will soon actually be minority white if demographic trends continue. I'm all for it. Representative Congress, representative democracy, let's go. Yeah. And the Republicans are making a couple ticks toward the right direction. Previously it was, 17%, 83%. A distribution for non-white lawmakers in terms of the breakdown of diversity in Congress. [00:11:27] Slight increases there, but overall, it's just great to see over the past two decades to see this number nearly double. And, clearly tracking US population and you see it in that way. And it's also a good reminder for what representative democracy will hopefully become as the people representing representatives representing communities will will reflect them. [00:11:53] Absolutely. All right we will take us now to our last story in the summary. And this comes from Axios and others, and the headline of this article is Greta Thunberg has been detained by police at a German coal protest, and the article comes with a pretty dramatic photo of Greta being. Whisked away by some scary looking cops and riot gear. [00:12:21] It turns out that climate activist Greta Thunberg was detained today protesting a coalmine expansion in the German coal mining town of. Rath where she was physically removed from the site. Apparently Tomberg was participating in a sit-in near the edge of the mine. A pretty hands-on approach to activism from fellow climate activists. [00:12:48] But George, I can't help but being struck how similar this photo seems to the photos of activists. Protesting for clean water particularly adjacent to Native American reservations and communities in the United States, not just a couple years ago. It seems strikingly similar and real interesting to see such tactics taken by activists and protestors. [00:13:36] I think it's a Huff one. I like the activism angle here in terms of you have a young person able to command such a powerful presence and message, right? And on the other hand, you have, I think Germany and some other countries making. energy decisions that actually cut off the bridge to sustainable energy. [00:14:02] And you feel that, especially when you're dealing with the conflict in Russia, and I'm cutting off various pipeline resources and pieces that, it's one thing to say you're going to go on a carbon neutral path, but if you don't have the plan to get there, all you've done is. Given disproportionate power to Russia and other coal generating areas. [00:14:25] Cause that energy has to come from somewhere. And I think there's there was a lack of planning and a lot of promising shutting down nuclear power plants of reducing the production without the plan. And so I think the next phase that I honestly hope to see from Thunberg and others are the planned part, not the, just the protest and stop this because the truth is when. [00:14:46] Drastically increase energy prices overnight, and you create dependencies on governments such as Russia to give them disproportionate of power in the region. You hurt large swaths of humanity and indirectly directly hurt the environment. And protest, but have a plan. And I, I. The green movement can easily have that critique going back 30, 40 years of evolving. [00:15:11] Hopefully it's approach to the industry and how you get a path rather than a protest to to green energy. It's complicated. When I see these types of things, it's easy to celebrate. Yeah. Close it down. On the other side, like with regard to coal mining you're not gonna solve this winter's problem with gold taken from the ground right now. [00:15:30] has to be processed, has to be pushed through. And so like how, how you're planning this is also confusing to me. I don't know a lot of thoughts I have. Yeah, George. I think that's right. It's interesting. I was actually recently talking from someone to talk to someone from Germany. And she was saying, By far and away the energy crisis. [00:15:52] There is the most talked about issue and has been for well over a year now in central Europe. So it's interesting to get a glimpse into that world. And I think similar in, in other countries, particularly the UK as well. Yeah, an interesting look across the pond into how these issues play out in the public sphere. [00:16:15] All right. How about a feel good story? Yeah, what do we got? All right. This is from eight news now.com, and it is reporting out of Las Vegas where a local nonprofit is celebrating helping black entrepreneurs on MLK Day. The organization is called Global SoCo, which is a nonprofit dedicated to helping black-owned businesses like the one mentioned in the article, get a boost. [00:16:43] I think it's really cool to see community organizations like this working to support black entrepreneurs and black community members. And I think really coincides with the legacy and desire of M L K to see the, that community work together. Real cool stuff. Shout out to them. [00:17:01] Yeah, absolutely. Love the angle of entrepreneurship and actually helping folks. A leg up in the industry and a good excuse again to, to use m l k to evolve to the needs of the community and where we are in the world. So thanks Nick. I appreciate you giving the summary. Always. Thanks George.

Dorothea is an ordinary girl from the land of Iammarus whose life and destiny are upended in "Dragon's Pick." The annual hunt for dragon eggs brings residents from all over to Thea's hometown of Villa Ovo--the hatchlings choose their riders, and of the four, a rare male picks Thea! Whisked away to Castle Draco, Thea and her fellow trainees, Colt, Tye and Thomas undergo rigorous training. The ride, however, is not guaranteed; furthermore, those who are chosen as Dragon Riders rarely (if ever) return. Under the watchful eye of Adgar, the four learn to fight and ride, but why does this all not seem what it is? In addition to her relationship with her dragon (named Browen), Thea must grow up fast, as do her fellows. Discoveries precede betrayal, violence and a do-or-die quest in which Thea slowly discovers who she really is... "Dragon's Pick" is the first of the Dorothea and Browen trilogy, brought to us by J.K. Weyant. With her first novel self-published at age thirteen, J.K. has since produced more than a dozen novels of fantasy and fiction. "Dragon's Loss" and "Dragon's Fall" round out the series, available through Amazon. She joins BPP host Tory Gates to discuss the series, her roots and the writing process. She lives in Central Pennsylvania with her husband Dan and their Pit Bull, Tango.

Police believe that the New Zealand man had become aware that a warrant for his arrest had landed in Thailand, and in recent times, had moved again from Phuket to live in an apartment in Samut Prakan near Bangkok. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2022/10/20/new-zealand-drug-lord-shane-ngakuru-nabbed-whisked-to-united-states/ Carla Boonkong reports from Bangkok.

A mischievous spirit terrorises a Welsh valleys' "most haunted" cottage on Nos Calan Gaeaf. It was just before Halloween in 1893 that this fantastical tale emerged from the Rhondda Valleys. A group of locals were being spooked by "hideous apparitions" and one woman claimed that she was – quite literally – swept off her feet. There were no Ghostbusters to save the day, but the brave men and women from near Tonypandy did their best to try and catch the goblin. Did they solve the mystery of the Llwynypia goblin? Join Mark Rees (Ghosts of Wales) for a spooky Halloween adventure in search of the autumn spirits on the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales podcast... if you dare!     What is the Ghosts and Folklore of Wales with Mark Rees podcast? The "Ghosts and Folklore of Wales" podcast explores Welsh ghost stories, lore, myths and legends. Launched by author and journalist Mark Rees in early 2020, this weird and wonderful podcast takes a fascinating look at the country's countless curious subjects by combining decades of research and insights from many books and articles with long-lost tales from dusty old tomes. Ranging from "real life" encounters with the uncanny to fantastical adventures from the Mabinogion, new episodes are uploaded every other (Folklore) Thursday and feature everything from pesky poltergeists to fire-breathing dragons and the odd wicked, and not-so-wicked, witch. Along with the regular stories you can also expect the odd special guest, an occasional "live" ghost hunt, and all sorts of crazy ideas. Seasonal specials include the dark and Gothic Halloween (Nos Calan Gaeaf) traditions of old, to everyone's favourite skulled-skulled Christmas visitor, the Mari Lwyd herself. Dare you explore haunted Wales? From the sublime mountains and cascading waterfalls to the bustling cities and a remote farm, think of it as opening the Welsh The X-Files... and some tenuous Ghostbusters links!

Ewa Jozefkowicz grew up in Ealing, and studied English Literature at UCL. Her debut novel The Mystery of the Colour Thief, published by Zephyr in 2018, was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize. She has written four further middle-grade novels, most recently The Dragon in the Bookshop, a fantasy adventure story with a deep soul, inspired by personal memories.About The Dragon in the BookshopAn old Polish city fizzes with fear. The townsfolk are at the mercy of a dragon who lurks in the cave below the castle... Konrad's dad always used to say, 'There is a character in a book somewhere that matches you almost entirely. It's just a matter of finding them'. Konrad never expected the 'finding' to involve stepping right into a story, and he never expected his dad not to be there with him. After his dad's death, Konrad stops speaking.Not a word at home or school as the year rolls by. But that begins to change when he meets Maya on the beach he loved to explore with Dad. She doesn't mind his silence. It gives her a chance to be heard because at home, no one seems to notice her. When the pair go on a last visit to Konrad's family bookshop before it's sold, they soon get lost in the pages of Konrad's favourite book of folk tales. Whisked back in time to quest with a dragon, they must find themselves and their voices, as well as a happy end to the story in the book and in real life.

The kids come to the library for a Pajama Havdalah event, but their upcoming move has Blue feeling more stressed than blessed. Whisked away to the fantastic land of Mashal, the kids run into Chicken Little, who can relate to Blue's fear of change. She's upset about Shabbat coming to an end. A Havdalah walk through Mashal is just what this group needs in order to learn that endings open the door for sweet new beginnings.

A young woman by the name of Winnie met us at a foreign airport and WHISKED us through all kinds of scary authorities.  She was our ADVOCATE.  We skipped all the lines.Similarly, at the day of judgement everyone will be called (you may now unbuckle your seatbelt)and will obey arising from our tombs (everybody off this plane)and have to face judgement (customs, immunization checks and immigration)unless you get to SKIP THE LINE of judgement because you have an advocate ( WINNIE!)After your death, you will have spiritual ears that work and a spiritual body that works.  You will obey the call to COME OUT.  You will be judged...or, you will skip the line of judgment because you have an advocate. We get this advocate by hearing and believing in Him.  His name is Jesus.  He's even better than Winnie.  Apple podcasts. Google podcasts. Spotify. Podcast Addict. CastBox. iVoox. Pandora.

We're talking about Books That Make You Get Transported to Past Ages Historical fiction can be some of the most immersive, particularly when researched well. Such tales can give us insights into different eras and areas of the world. When fiction and history come together, it can be an alchemical mix. Since 1997, David L. Robbins has published fifteen novels, been featured on the New York Times bestsellers list, and has several film options and stage plays under his belt. He's also taught advanced creative writing at the university level for fifteen years. His latest book, “Isaac's Beacon”, follows the lives of three memorable characters—an Irgun fighter, a young woman farmer, and an American journalist—as they collide to shape an epic narrative of love, loss, violence, and courage. David has been called “the Homer of World War II.” Now, he turns his mastery to another defining moment of the twentieth century: the birth of the state of Israel.

Imagine that one day, you're just standing around, minding your own business and then ZOOP! You've been captured! Whisked away to a strange dungeon, and then tortured, and experimented on and... well it's not pretty, and for many, this a fate worse than death. The Scariest Things Crew explores this trope and has managed to drum up some real sleepers that might be new to you!

Four years ago, a group within the military tried to overthrow the Turkish government. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has blamed Fethullah Gülen and his network, the Gülenists, for the July 15, 2016, failed coup d’état, which resulted in the deaths of 251 people and 2,200 injured.Inside Turkey, as many as 80,000 have since been detained, and 150,000 sacked from their civil service jobs.Related: As Iran arrests Instagram influencers, some seek safety abroadThe Gülenists, dubbed by Turkey as FETO, the Fethullahist Terror Organization, are being purged on a massive scale. Those who have been accused include scientists, schoolteachers, policemen and journalists. Erdoğan has vowed to track FETO members down: “Wherever they escape... we will chase after them,” he said.Abroad, the Turkish government has managed to extradite, kidnap and otherwise push foreign governments to hand over Gülenists from foreign countries — Kazakhstan, Moldova, Kosovo and Pakistan, to name a few. Family members try to get information about their arrested relatives in Istanbul after the failed coup in July 2016.  Credit: The World  From the other direction, thousands of Turks have escaped, seeking safety in Europe amid Turkey’s relentless, ongoing post-coup crackdown on dissent.Even in Germany, where 40,000 Turks have sought safety, exiles feel the long arm of the Turkish state is using its intelligence agencies and bilateral relations to exert pressure on countries who have yet to turn over the accused.Related: Turkey's president formally makes Haghia Sophia a mosqueSince 2016, Turkey has shut down Gülenist businesses, expropriating $10 billion worth of assets. It has closed Gülenist media outlets and shuttered Gülenist-owned schools.Nate Schenkkan is with Freedom House and an expert on Turkey. He says Gülenists have been left jobless, with no chance of restarting their careers.“For the vast majority of the people in the Gülen movement, it’s quite clear. They had nothing to do with any of this, whether it’s the coup attempt or any other kind of violence.”Nate Schenkkanm, Freedom House“For the vast majority of the people in the Gülen movement, it’s quite clear. They had nothing to do with any of this, whether it’s the coup attempt or any other kind of violence,” he said.Whisked to the borderBusinessman Abdullah Buyuk moved from Turkey to neighboring Bulgaria in 2016, imagining the country would be safe for him as an EU member state.At the State Agency for Refugees where he went to apply for asylum, he was presented two members of the Bulgarian intelligence service.One of them offered, “Let us help you with your business here. You can attend the Gülen movement meetings. You let us know who attends those meetings and what they say.”“I didn’t agree to that, saying I was already cooperating by answering their questions.”Related: As more journalists stand trial in Turkey, the truth becomes more elusiveBulgarian courts denied an extradition request from Turkey for Buyuk.Around the same time, the Turkish foreign minister announced publicly that they planned to bring “a person of interest” back from Bulgaria.On his way to a meeting in Sofia, police blocked Buyuk’s vehicle.Bulgarians drove him 180 miles to the border where they handed him over to Turkish authorities.Accused of being a member of a terrorist organization, he was kept in pretrial detention for more than three years. He’s now at home with an electronic ankle bracelet while his trial continues.Bulgaria was doing Turkish president Erdoğan’s bidding. Bulgaria, with a population of just under 7 million, shares a 149-mile-long border with its behemoth neighbor.Bulgaria’s leaders are aware of the risk of noncooperation. Turkey could easily flood Bulgaria with tens of thousands of refugees hungry to come to Europe.Since 2016, at least seven more individuals have been handed over to the Turks by Bulgarians.Pushed back to TurkeyHuman rights activists say countless others have been illegally pushed back at the Bulgarian and Greek borders.Related: Greek army, police on high alert along Turkey border after clashesTurks have found trouble in other countries as well, including Germany, where they make up the third-largest group of asylum-seekers. One is a 29-year-old journalist who didn’t want to give her name for security reasons. She fled with a group of 11 other Turks across the Evros River to Greece.Once in Greece, they encountered police. Along with other migrants, they were put into a van.“We didn’t know what was happening or where they were taking us.”Journalist, unnamed“We didn’t know what was happening or where they were taking us,” she said.They traveled for what seemed like a long time. Finally, the vehicle came to a stop.“They started to pull us toward the river,” she said.Men wearing balaclavas appeared through the trees. Then the beatings began.Some of the men were badly bruised, one with a leg injury, another with bruises on his back.After sunset, someone from the group escorted them by boat across the river and deposited them on Turkish territory. Entrance to Silivri Prison outside of Istanbul, where thousands of political prisoners are held. Credit: The World  They spent a cold, fearful night in the forest, hoping they wouldn’t be discovered by Turkish police. Finally, the following day, they made a successful crossing after reaching out to their social media networks so that journalists and lawyers were aware of their case.Germany provides asylum to less than 50% of Turkish applicants, according to BAMF, Germany’s Federal Office on Migration and Refugees. The journalist who asked that her name not be used says her family was denied protection in the first instance and is now under appeal.Mass fearIn 2017, during bilateral meetings, Turks provided Germany with a wish list of 300 people they wanted to be turned over. Among them was Engin Sag, who had worked for a Gülenist TV network. He was living a quiet life in Germany with his wife and two children when, in 2017, police knocked on his door.The police said: “The Turkish government gave your name to the German government. Your name and photo were in their documents," according to Sag. He was warned not to go back to Turkey. He said they promised him protection in the form of a neighborhood patrol.Sag is also concerned about the possible actions of German Turks, many of whom are Erdoğan supporters.He said that Turks are encouraged to file complaints using the mobile app of the Turkish police, circumventing German authorities.“I came across two Turks in the midst of a quarrel. One threatened the other saying, ‘I am going to report you to the Turkish consulate.’ They use this as a threat.” Engin Sag“I came across two Turks in the midst of a quarrel. One threatened the other saying, ‘I am going to report you to the Turkish consulate.’ They use this as a threat,” he said.Erdoğan’s hit listFormer Nokta Magazine editor Cevheri Guven, who spent time in prison in Turkey, fled with his wife and children to Greece. After settling there, he received news that “Erdoğan wanted me handed over to the ambassador in Athens. They wanted me and my family and they made some kind of assassination list.” Tuba and Cevheri Guven at a protest in Frankfurt, Germany, 2019.  Credit: Courtesy of the Guven family. They immediately decided to leave Greece.Guven was later sentenced in absentia to 22.5 years, charged with inciting a civil war. His colleague, Murat Capan, was captured in Greece and pushed back to Turkey. Capan is among the tens of thousands of political prisoners languishing in overcrowded, COVID-19-infested prisons in Turkey.Due to COVID-19, many criminals were released, while political prisoners remained locked up.According to Omer Faruk Gergerlioglu, an opposition member of parliament in Turkey, the coronavirus in prison is vastly underreported.The government has announced 250 cases of COVID-19 across the national prison system, with five deaths. But by Gergerlioglu’s count, there are 250 at Silivri Prison alone, where many political prisoners are held. He estimates the real number of deaths are four times higher as well.'Social genocide'Hüseyin Demir taught human rights law in the capital, Ankara, and now runs Refugees Support Action (Aktion für Flüchtlingshilfe) in Germany. His organization helps Turkish dissidents file for asylum and integrate into German life.The Turkish government threatens dissidents by going after relatives back in Turkey, he said.“In Turkey, no one is safe. If they can’t find you, they arrest your son or your wife.”Hüseyin Demir, Refugees Support Action“In Turkey, no one is safe. If they can’t find you, they arrest your son or your wife.”He points out that even mothers with infants are imprisoned in Turkey. His own son was detained in Ankara for five days.“He told me, ‘Father, because of you, I am now in danger. You destroyed my life,” Demir said. “You can imagine how I feel.”With many friends dismissed from their jobs, in prison or abroad, Demir feels disheartened.“This is a social genocide. They can’t work, you can’t help them, so they should just die.”This article was developed with the support of www.journalismfund.edu.

In Part 1 of a two-part interview, Rachel speaks to Cathryn, a young idealist who was recruited into the Unification Church, also known as "The Moonies". She speaks with her mother Cynthia, who fought valiantly to get her daughter out of the group. Cynthia, a musician, garnered help from her friends, therapists, law enforcement officials, cult experts, and the media in order to rescue her daughter. Cynthia lives in New Zealand but was in New York visiting her mother when they spoke with Rachel. Stay tuned, Before You Go: Rachel talks about how a need to belong can cause people to make sense of things that might not quite make sense-- and that needing to memorize teachings that aren't based in logic can cause people to abandon their critical thinking. This is especially true when not "getting it" makes one feel ostracized and pushed away from their new community.

After a few years spent getting to know the city and falling in love with the up-and-coming DC food scene, Jenna started ModernDomestic in 2008; a blog about baking and pastry, which quickly became a local hit. On the blog, Jenna discussed the science of baking, shared favorite recipes, and interviewed DC-area pastry chefs. In 2010 she decided to follow her passion and quit her full-time job to become a baker at Treet, an online bakery. She worked at several other area food businesses, including Soupergirl, The Big Cheese Truck, and Spilled Milk Catering, to learn the ropes before launching Whisked! in 2011. The influence of Jenna's enterprising spirit and love of homemade baked goods on Whisked! products is unmistakable. We don't take shortcuts, ensuring every pie, cookie, and quiche is made with the same attention as if you were baking in your own home. Sponsored by: Glen's Garden Market. Good food from close by.

High above the wasteland, Max drifts in and out of consciousness following his ordeal out on the road. Whisked along by the Gyro Captain, Max allows himself to fall asleep only to wake up inside the infirmary of the compound with his wounds dressed. Noises above him are revealed to be the Feral Child who has been holding on to Max’s gear. As Max sits up he discovers that he’s not alone, and Max comes face to face with what remains of the Quiet Man.

There was a time I could look in the mirror and smile, proud of my body, proud of my soul. I felt whole, pure, unique... dare I even say... special. But those days are gone. Whisked away on a breeze like the dandelion wishes of yesteryear. Nowadays the mirror is nothing more than an acquaintance in passing. We are cordial like good neighbors should be, we acknowledge each-others presence, exchanging glances and half smiles, but the relationship is only as deep as a spring puddle after a sun shower.

Seventeen is a life changing age for Emma Wise. As her family's sole survivor in a car crash, she is left with a broken arm, and a few scrapes and bruises. But these are only outward marks; inside, her heart is broken and the pieces scattered. Whisked away to Alaska, to an aunt she’s never met, Emma starts over. Secrets unveil themselves and now…she doesn't even know who or what she is. A centuries old prophecy places Emma in the heart of danger. Creatures of horrifying and evil proportions are after her, and it will take Emma, her aunt, and six, gorgeously, captivating Guardians to keep her safe. But, if she can survive until her eighteenth birthday... things will change. Bonus Material: Hidden Wings Inspired Poem by Amber McCallister. Amazon Preview has the first three chapters. I am going to read you the first two. (Read) My questions from the first two chapters: Why is she healing so fast? Will her two good friends play a continueing role in the rest of the novel? I like that she has two nerdy friends who have a lot of personality on their own. Emma is moving far away, from Southern California all the way to Alaska. Though, from the cover blurb, I don't have a lot of hope for that. I also wonder about the aunt. Having absolutely no knowledge about the aunt, and then having her contact the state so quickly after the accident stretches my suspension of disbelief to an uncomfortable length. I'll read on, but I'll be looking for some explanation about their relationship.

ENJOY THIS EPISODE: Jessica McHugh has always been a huge reader. When she was 19 years old, she would go to Walden Books after her minimum wage perfume kiosk job, and read a new book.

http://searchforschlock.com/media/podcasts/sfs-010-LastStarfighter.mp3 Download MP3 PLOT SYNPOSIS: Trailer park teen Alex Rogan's plan to go to use his brain and go to college is derailed, first by a loan rejection, and then by his own arcade game skills. Alex's high score on a misallocated 3D vector cabinet called Starfighter attracts the attention of its alien inventor. Whisked away from his devoted girlfriend and temporarily replaced with a sarcastic beta-unit simuloid, Alex is recruited into an armada of space combatants, the rest of whom are all immediately vaporized by the traitorous Xur on behalf of the Ko-Dan Empire. People actually like this movie. FAMOUS FOR: The feeling of nostalgia it seems to engender in people of a certain age. This is perhaps the only movie that suggests, without a trace of irony, that your video game skills can be appreciated by your elders and can lead to a magical future of greatness and achievement, in space, with lasers. Even The Wizard wasn't this rapturous towards gamers. PREPARE YOURSELF FOR: Corniness, or as they called it then, "sincerity." Specifically, the scene where -- after a fiery explosion destroys the simuloid double, and simultaneously a faraway space battle rages -- Alex's girlfriend looks up into the night sky and declares, in a total non-sequitur: "I love you, Alex Rogan." Please join us in welcoming Julia back to the show. This is her punishment for putting The Last Starfighter on our list.Original post located at searchforschlock.com.
