fWotD Episode 3235: Pi Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 14 March 2026, is Pi.The number π ( ; spelled out as pi) is a mathematical constant, approximately equal to 3.14159, that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. It appears in many formulae across mathematics and physics, and some of these formulae are commonly used for defining π, to avoid relying on the definition of the length of a curve.The number π is an irrational number, meaning that it cannot be expressed exactly as a ratio of two integers, although fractions such as 22 7 {displaystyle {tfrac {22}{7}}} are commonly used to approximate it. Consequently, its decimal representation never ends, nor enters a permanently repeating pattern. It is a transcendental number, meaning that it cannot be a solution of an algebraic equation involving only finite sums, products, powers, and integers. The transcendence of π implies that it is impossible to solve the ancient challenge of squaring the circle with a compass and straightedge. The decimal digits of π appear to be evenly distributed, but no proof of this conjecture has been found.For thousands of years, mathematicians have attempted to extend their understanding of π, sometimes by computing its value to a high degree of accuracy. Ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians and Babylonians, required fairly accurate approximations of π for practical computations. Around 250 BC, the Greek mathematician Archimedes created an algorithm to approximate π with arbitrary accuracy. In the 5th century AD, Chinese mathematicians approximated π to seven digits, while Indian mathematicians made a five-digit approximation, both using geometrical techniques. The first computational formula for π, based on infinite series, was discovered a millennium later.The earliest known use of the Greek letter π to represent the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter was by the Welsh mathematician William Jones in 1706. The invention of calculus soon led to the calculation of hundreds of digits of π, enough for all practical scientific computations. Nevertheless, in the 20th and 21st centuries, mathematicians and computer scientists have pursued new approaches that, when combined with increasing computational power, extended the decimal representation of π to many trillions of digits. These computations are motivated by the development of efficient algorithms to calculate numeric series, as well as the human quest to break records. The extensive computations involved have also been used to test the correctness of new computer processors.Because it relates to a circle, π is found in many formulae in trigonometry and geometry, especially those concerning circles, ellipses and spheres. It is also found in formulae from other topics in science, such as cosmology, fractals, thermodynamics, mechanics, and electromagnetism. It also appears in areas having little to do with geometry, such as number theory and statistics, and in modern mathematical analysis can be defined without any reference to geometry. The ubiquity of π makes it one of the most widely known mathematical constants inside and outside of science. Several books devoted to π have been published, and record-setting calculations of the digits of π often result in news headlines.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:12 UTC on Saturday, 14 March 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Pi on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kevin.

Same name problems rarely get solved because you find one perfect record that settles everything. More often, the break comes when you stop staring at your ancestor's name and start paying attention to the names surrounding it. That's because a name like John Smith or William Jones can appear dozens of times in the same county. In that situation, the main name in a record is almost useless by itself. The separating clues are usually the witnesses, the bondsmen, the sureties, the neighbors, the appraisers, the administrators, and the other people who keep showing up with one candidate and not the other. This method is one of the most practical tools you can learn. It works if you are brand new and only have a handful of records. It also works if you have years of experience and you're digging into deeper court and probate material. The process stays the same. You collect the surrounding names, you track them in a structured way, and you let repetition build proof...

In the long eighteenth century, as Britain grappled with the aftermath of the 1707 Acts of Union and consolidated a global empire, Welsh ‘Cambro-Britons' developed a movement of cultural awakening, reinventing their traditions for a new age. Amid profound local, national and imperial transformations, Welsh authors and activists sought to reimagine their history, language and literature, claiming a place for Wales and the Welsh diaspora in the British imperial order. Far from being an insular phenomenon, this revival intersected with key debates of the era, from enlightenment science and radical politics to colonial expansion, transatlantic abolitionism and metropolitan sociability. Welsh Revivalism in Imperial Britain, 1707-1819: True Britons and Celtic Empires (Boydell & Brewer, 2025) by Dr. Rhys Kaminski-Jones reframes Welsh cultural revivalism, revealing its fundamentally international and archipelagic dimensions. Nationally significant Welsh authors like Lewis Morris, David Samwell, Thomas Pennant, and Iolo Morganwg are placed in their transnational, imperial, and global contexts. Examined alongside Thomas Gray's British bardism, William Jones's Orientalism, and the imperialism of Cook's voyages, their writings demonstrate how Welsh thinkers engaged with – and shaped – shifting ideas of Britishness, empire, race, and identity. Drawing on new archival research, and giving equal attention to Welsh and English language texts, Dr. Kaminski-Jones challenges traditional narratives of Welsh cultural nationalism as a simple precursor to modern Welsh nationhood, instead positioning the revival as central to transatlantic intellectual currents. With its pathbreaking bilingual and interdisciplinary approach, this book offers fresh insights into the complexities of nationhood, empire, and cultural memory. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

On Tuesday, September 3, 2024, the group will discuss 1923: The Crisis of German Democracy in the Year of Hitler's Putsch by Mark William Jones (DB116875 ). The book recounts the unsuccessful first attempt to overthrow Germany's democracy. This was followed 10 years later by Hitler's appointment as Prime Minister, the end of democratic government in Germany and the deaths of millions in World War Two. Can this happen again? NLS Annotation 1923: the crisis of German democracy in the year of Hitler’s putsch DB116875 Author: Jones, Mark William Reading Time: 14 hours, 11 minutes Read by: Matt Addis Subjects: World History and Affairs, War and the Military “In 1923, the Weimar Republic faced a series of crises, including foreign occupation of its industrial heartland, rampant inflation, radical violence, and finally Hitler’s infamous “beer hall putsch.” Fanning the flames of anti-government and anti-Semitic sentiment, the Nazis tried to violently seize power in Munich, only failing after they were abandoned by like-minded conservatives. In 1923, historian Mark William Jones draws on new research to offer a revealing portrait of German politics and society in this turbulent year. Tracing Hitler’s early rise, Jones reveals how political pragmatism and unprecedented international cooperation with the West brought Germany out of its crisis year. Although Germany would succumb to tyranny a decade later, the story of the republic’s survival in 1923 offers essential lessons to anyone concerned about the future of democracy today.” — Provided by publisher.

Math lovers celebrate Pi Day on March 14, or 3/14. Around the world, many people even mark the day by eating a tasty piece of pie. 数学爱好者会在 3 月 14 日（即 3 月 14 日）庆祝圆周率日。 在世界各地，许多人甚至通过吃一块美味的馅饼来纪念这一天。 For those who do not know, pi is a mathematical constant, a value that never changes. It expresses the ratio of a circle's circumference (the distance around the circle) to its diameter (the distance across the circle, passing through its center.) 对于那些不知道的人来说，圆周率是一个数学常数，一个永远不会改变的值。 它表示圆的周长（围绕圆的距离）与其直径（穿过圆的距离，穿过圆心的距离）的比率。 The approximate value of this mathematical constant is 3.1415926535. But those are just the first 10 digits of pi. The numbers go on infinitely, or forever. 该数学常数的近似值为3.1415926535。 但这些只是 pi 的前 10 位数字。 这些数字无限地持续下去，或者永远持续下去。 Pi can calculate the circumference of a circle by measuring the diameter and multiplying that by the 3.14-plus number. The formula has been used in physics, astronomy, engineering and other fields, dating back thousands of years. Pi 可以通过测量直径并将其乘以 3.14+ 的数字来计算圆的周长。 该公式已被应用于物理学、天文学、工程学等领域，其历史可以追溯到数千年前。 Long before computers, scientists such as Isaac Newton spent many hours calculating decimal places by hand. But today, researchers use computers to come up with trillions of digits for pi. But there is no end. 早在计算机出现之前，艾萨克·牛顿等科学家就花了很多时间手工计算小数位。 但今天，研究人员使用计算机计算出数万亿位的圆周率。 但没有尽头。There are many uses for pi. pi 有很多用途。 The number helps calculate the size of paper rolls used in printers. And it helps decide the necessary size of a container that serves heating and air conditioning systems in buildings of different sizes. 该数字有助于计算打印机中使用的纸卷的尺寸。 它有助于确定为不同规模的建筑物中的供暖和空调系统提供服务的容器的必要尺寸。 Scientists use the number to point an antenna toward a satellite and calculate the orbits and positions of planets and other space bodies. 科学家利用这个数字将天线指向卫星，并计算行星和其他空间物体的轨道和位置。 Scientists with the American space agency NASA use pi to calculate when parachutes should open as a vehicle splashes down on Earth or lands on Mars. 美国航天局 NASA 的科学家使用 pi 来计算当飞行器降落在地球或登陆火星时降落伞应该打开的时间。In 1706, British mathematician William Jones began using the Greek letter pi for the number 3.14… It is the first Greek letter in the words “periphery” and “perimeter.” Both words have similar meanings as circumference. 1706年，英国数学家威廉·琼斯开始使用希腊字母pi来表示数字3.14……它是“外围”和“周长”一词中的第一个希腊字母。 这两个词与周长具有相似的含义。 Pi Day itself dates back to the year 1988. That was when physicist Larry Shaw began celebrations at the Exploratorium, a science museum in San Francisco, California. 圆周率日本身可以追溯到 1988 年。当时物理学家拉里·肖 (Larry Shaw) 在加利福尼亚州旧金山的科学博物馆探索博物馆 (Exploratorium) 开始庆祝活动。 The so-called holiday did not gain national recognition until more than 20 years later. In 2009, the U.S. Congress declared every March 14 to be Pi Day as a way to bring more interest in math and science. 这个所谓的节日直到20多年后才得到全国的认可。 2009 年，美国国会宣布每年 3 月 14 日为圆周率日，以提高人们对数学和科学的兴趣。 The San Francisco museum that started the holiday organizes events, including a walk around a circular sign, called the Pi Shrine, 3.14 times. Of course, there is also plenty of pie to eat. 节日开始的旧金山博物馆组织了一些活动，包括绕着一个名为“Pi 神社”的圆形标志散步 3.14 次。 当然，还有很多馅饼可以吃。Many Pi Day events take place at colleges in the United States. For example, Nova Southeastern University (NSU) in Florida holds the “Mental Math Bingo” game with free pizza pies. 许多圆周率日活动在美国的大学举行。 例如，佛罗里达州诺瓦东南大学（NSU）举办“心理数学宾果”游戏，并提供免费披萨饼。 Jason Gershman oversees NSU's math department. He said, “Every year, Pi Day provides us with a way to celebrate math, have some fun and recognize how important math is in all our lives.” 贾森·格什曼 (Jason Gershman) 负责管理新西伯利亚州立大学 (NSU) 的数学系。 他说：“每年，圆周率日都为我们提供了一种庆祝数学、享受乐趣并认识到数学在我们生活中的重要性的方式。” NASA has its yearly “Pi Day Challenge” online. The space agency offers games and puzzles, such as calculating the orbit of an asteroid or the distance a moon rover would need to travel each day to study a certain lunar area. 美国宇航局 (NASA) 在网上举办了一年一度的“圆周率日挑战”。 该航天局提供游戏和谜题，例如计算小行星的轨道或月球车每天需要行驶以研究月球某个区域的距离。 If you still wonder why Pi Day is such an important day for math lovers, here are two more reasons: Albert Einstein, possibly the world's best-known scientist, was born on March 14, 1879. And famed physicist Stephen Hawking died on March 14, 2018, at age 76. 如果您仍然想知道为什么圆周率日对数学爱好者来说如此重要，这里还有两个原因：阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦，可能是世界上最著名的科学家，出生于 1879 年 3 月 14 日。著名物理学家斯蒂芬·霍金于 3 月 14 日去世 ，2018年，76岁。 Although pi is not a perfect number. Hawking once had this to say: “One of the basic rules of the universe is that nothing is perfect. Perfection simply doesn't exist. Without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist.” 虽然 pi 不是一个完美数。 霍金曾经说过：“宇宙的基本规则之一就是没有什么是完美的。 完美根本不存在。 如果没有不完美，你和我都不会存在。”

When a group of miners uncovered a skull deep in a mine shaft on the western slopes of Bald Mountain in Calaveras County, California, it was believed, at least initially, to be a history-changing discovery. The owner of the mine didn't know at first what it was that he'd dug up that day in 1866. And when he shared it with those who might, including the State Geologist of California, things went a bit, well, off the rails.

History was never considered to be a subject that would lead to gainful employment and I dare say, rewarding matrimony. Maybe that's why we have paid little respect to it in India.  Maybe that's why our records are shoddy. Most museums and public places of history are disrespectfully maintained—and shabby when compared to those in other countries.Through the ages, the lasting history of India has been principally discovered and recorded by travellers from overseas—from Megasthenes in 300BC to Al Masudi in 950 to Thomas Roe in 1615 and then so many other illustrious people during and since.And now, there is a sudden interest in Indian history.Of the number of books that publishers send me to consider for this podcast, a great many are about Indian history—in one form or another.This interest in Indian history I guess was kicked off by recent western historians—and the trend is carried forward by so many wonderful Indian historians and writers—each compelling, entertaining and insightful.Well, it's all good. It's a great time to be discovering ourselves—and maybe this will cause our public spaces to improve. And I pray, curated by historians and and other men and women of science and not politicians.My guest today, is John Zubrzycki. He is the author of several great books on Indian history. His most recent book is titled The Shortest History Of India. He artfully presents thousands of years of the history of India in a little over 250 pages.His earlier book, Jadoowallahs, Jugglers and Jinns is an amazing history of the little known but truly fantastic contribution of India to the world of magic, to such a degree that western magicians believed they needed to dress up as Indian mystics to be credible to western audiences.So much to ask him. So let's get right  to it. Here he is joining me now from his home in Australia.ABOUT JOHN ZUBRZYCKIJohn Zubrzycki is an Australian author who has been studying Indian history for more than forty years. He has worked in India as a diplomat and foreign correspondent, taught Indian studies and written extensively on Indian society, culture and politics. He is the author of four books.

英语新闻︱中方强力反制美方挑衅行为China has unveiled a number of countermeasures in response to United States House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's provocative Taiwan visit, which analysts said will heighten tensions across the Taiwan Straits and further worsen the deteriorated China-US ties.针对美国国会众议长佩洛西窜访中国台湾地区这一挑衅性行为，中方公布了一系列反制措施。分析人士称，佩洛西的窜访将加剧台海局势，进一步恶化中美关系。The measures include staging military drills near Taiwan, conducting large-scale air and naval activities, punishing organizations related to die-hard "Taiwan independence" elements, and suspending natural sand exports to Taiwan as well as the imports of some farm produce from the island.中方的反制措施包括在台岛周边开展一系列联合军事行动，开展联合海空演训，惩戒与“台独”分子有关的机构，暂停天然砂对台湾地区出口，暂停进口部分农产品。Speaking at a regular news conference on Wednesday, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said that all of the countermeasures will be "forceful, effective and resolute" and both the US and "Taiwan independence" forces will feel them gradually and in a sustained way.8月3日，外交部发言人华春莹在例行记者会上表示，反制措施将是“坚决有力和有效的”，美方和“台独”势力会持续感受到这些措施。Shortly after Pelosi's arrival in Taipei on Tuesday night, Vice-Foreign Minister Xie Feng summoned US Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns to protest the US House speaker's visit to the island, stressing that the nature of Pelosi's visit is vicious and the consequences are very grave.8月2日晚，佩洛西抵台后不久，中国外交部副部长谢锋紧急召见美国驻华大使尼古拉斯·伯恩斯，就美国国会众议长佩洛西窜访中国台湾地区提出强烈抗议，强调佩洛西此行性质恶劣，后果十分严重。Qin Gang, Chinese ambassador to the US, lodged stern representations with and strongly protested to the US on Tuesday over Pelosi's visit, which he blasted as "reckless and provocative".8月2日，中国驻美大使秦刚就佩洛西窜访台湾向美方提出严正交涉和强烈抗议，称此行“是鲁莽的挑衅行为”。China firmly urges the US to stop playing the "Taiwan card" and using Taiwan to contain China, immediately correct its mistake, manage and eliminate the pernicious impact of Pelosi's visit, and refrain from further dangerous and provocative moves infringing on China's sovereignty and security, Qin said.秦刚强调，中方严正敦促美方停止打“台湾牌”，搞“以台制华”，立即纠正错误做法，管控和消除佩洛西窜访台湾地区的恶劣影响，不得进一步采取危险、挑衅举动侵犯中国主权和安全。Pelosi, the second in line to the US presidency, concluded the highest-level visit in 25 years by a US government official to Taiwan on Wednesday afternoon. During her stay in Taipei, she visited the legislature of the island, and met with Taiwan leader Tsai Ing-wen, as well as some "human rights activists".8月3日下午，美国总统第二顺位继承人佩洛西结束了美国政府官员25年来对中国台湾地区进行的最高级别访问。佩洛西窜台期间先后与台“立法院”一些成员、民进党当局领导人蔡英文及一些所谓“人权领袖”会面。State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Pelosi's visit to Taiwan was "a sheer farce" and that it would not alter the international consensus on the one-China principle, nor the historical trend that Taiwan will return to the motherland.国务委员兼外长王毅指出，佩洛西窜访中国台湾地区是一场“彻头彻尾的闹剧”，根本改变不了一个中国的国际共识，也根本改变不了台湾必将回归祖国的历史大势。In a statement on Wednesday, Wang said the visit proves once again that some US politicians have become "troublemakers" in China-US relations, and that the US has become the "biggest destroyer" of peace across the Taiwan Straits and of regional stability.8月3日，王毅就美方侵犯中国主权发表谈话表示，佩洛西窜访中国台湾地区再次证明一些美国政客已经沦为中美关系的“麻烦制造者”，美国已经成为台海和平和地区稳定的“最大破坏者”。"I want to stress that the one-China principle is the key stabilizing force for peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits, and the three China-US joint communiques are the real 'guardrails' for peaceful coexistence between China and the United States," Wang said.王毅说：“我要强调，台海和平稳定的定海神针是一个中国原则，中美和平共处的真正‘护栏'是三个联合公报。”Clinging to the US to seek "independence" is a dead end, and attempts to use the Taiwan question to contain China are doomed to failure, he added.王毅强调，“倚美谋独”死路一条，“以台制华”注定失败。Experts said that the huge uncertainty surrounding Pelosi's visit to Taiwan has summed up the intensely volatile nature and unpredictability of China-US relations. It will also contribute to the instability of the Asia-Pacific region, as Taiwan has become by far the most dangerous source of tension and conflict.专家表示，就佩洛西窜访台湾地区带来的巨大不确定性来看，中美之间存在着强烈的不稳定性和不可预测性。由于中国台湾地区已经成为迄今为止最为危险的地方，是紧张和动荡的根源，此次窜访还威胁了亚太地区的和平发展。Chen Bing, a Chinese media commentator, said that Pelosi's visit to Taiwan was a serious political incident that has harmed China-US relations and might also lead to military confrontation between the two major countries.深圳卫视《直播港澳台》特约评论员陈冰表示，佩洛西窜访台湾地区是严重的政治事件，不仅危害中美关系，而且会引发中美军事对抗。China will undoubtedly step up reunification efforts, and respond to external interference on the Taiwan question with more effective means in order to safeguard its sovereignty and territorial integrity, he said.陈冰说，毫无疑问，中国会加快国家统一步伐，加强军事现代化，用更有效的手段应对外国势力干涉，维护国家主权和领土完整。William Jones, a former White House correspondent for Executive Intelligence Review and a non-resident fellow of the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China, said that the Asia-Pacific situation has changed radically due to the shortsighted zeal of an overly ambitious politician.曾任美国《行政情报评论》驻国会记者、中国人民大学重阳金融研究院外籍高级研究员的威廉·琼斯表示，虎视眈眈的政治家过于短视，导致亚太地区的局势发生了巨变。"One can only hope that wiser heads in the American political establishment can bring to bear their influence on a situation that is in danger of spinning out of control," Jones said.琼斯说：“我们只能寄希望于美国政治体系中的贤能之士能够悬崖勒马，挽救失控的局面。”Leaving Taiwan, Pelosi flew to South Korea, part of her Asian tour which has taken her to Singapore, Malaysia and will also see her visit Japan.当前，佩洛西已搭乘专机启程前往下一站韩国，佩洛西此次亚洲之行还包括新加坡、马来西亚和日本。Before Pelosi's trip to Japan, a spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Japan on Tuesday condemned her visit to Taiwan, saying the Taiwan question concerns China's core interests and is also related to the political foundation of Sino-Japanese ties.中国驻日本大使馆发言人于2日谴责了佩洛西的窜台之行，称台湾问题涉及中国核心利益，事关中日关系政治根基。The spokesperson urged Japan to abide by its commitment to China on the Taiwan question as well as the principles of the four political documents between China and Japan and properly handle the Taiwan question and avoid sending the wrong signal to "Taiwan independence" forces.中国驻日本大使馆发言人敦促日方恪守中日四个政治文件原则和在台湾问题上所作的郑重承诺，慎重妥善处理有关问题，坚决杜绝发生类似事件，防止向“台独”势力发出错误信号。Also on Tuesday, Chinese Ambassador to the United Kingdom Zheng Zeguang condemned Pelosi's visit, and urged the UK "not to dance to the tune of the US and follow in the wrong footsteps of the US". Both China and the UK can see the benefits of having a productive and constructive relationship, he added.8月2日，中国驻英国大使郑泽光就佩洛西窜访台湾地区表示谴责，并敦促英国“不要附和、效仿美国的错误行径”。郑泽光强调，中英两国都能看到保持有成效和建设性的关系带来的好处。记者：曹德胜countermeasure英[ˈkaʊntəmeʒə(r)]；美[ˈkaʊntərmeʒə(r)]n. 对策，反措施stage英[steɪdʒ]；美[steɪdʒ]v. 上演;举办;组织;使发生n. 阶段;舞台refrain英[rɪˈfreɪn]；美[rɪˈfreɪn]vt.抑制，克制n. 叠句，副歌;经常重复的评价（或抱怨）vi.忍耐，节制doom英[duːm]；美[duːm]v. 注定;使在劫难逃n. 厄运，劫数，毁灭;悲观，沮丧

Puzzles of Color is a black-owned family business run by brother-sister duo William and Ericka. They have been doing puzzles as a family since they were in elementary school and really enjoyed the challenge it presented and the long hours of family time they spent putting together works of art. But in doing so, they noticed two distinct problems, (1) the imagery often did not represent who they were and (2) when they liked a puzzle, they couldn't find a frame that would fit them. So, they decided to take matters into their own hands and create a puzzle company that addressed both of these issues. The puzzles are frameable pieces of art created by artists of color. Puzzles Of Color strives to promote tech-free entertainment for people of all ages. This interactive art features the work of artists of color and hopes to create experiences and memories to last a lifetime.

We're back with Britain's great imperial project in India, going great guns (often literally) despite the war in Europe. It was still in principle being run by England's old East India company, though increasingly that was little more than a fiction behind which the British state exercised direct rule. There were more glorious wars against rebellious local leaders, where ‘rebellious' meant ‘more inclined to exercise power themselves than have it exercised from London'. Governor General Cornwallis, who'd had such a bad time in America at the hands of other rebels, scored some successes in India, as did his successor Lord Mornington, aka Richard Wellesley. The younger brother of Mornington, far better known later by his own alias of Duke of Wellington, got some invaluable military experience out there, and explored some interesting new tactics, such as the use of terror against local villagers. On a more positive note, we also get to meet a British judge in India, a remarkable linguist, William Jones. He deeply respected local culture, learning Sanskrit and providing the first translations of some Hindu sacred texts into English. Above all, he was struck (as some others before him) by the similarities of languages from South Asia with most European languages, so today he's generally seen as the father of international linguistics and of the study of the Indo-European language group.

Today I would like to give pointers for understanding Jesus' parables. I consider the parable to be one of the greatest of all teaching devices, and a legacy of the Greatest Teacher. I will end this episode by sharing a non-Biblical parable. One little detail to understand is that the word ‘parable' (Greek paraboles) had a wider meaning than we normally think of in English, and you may see this sometimes in the New Testament. In English, we normally think of a parable as a story that points to some deeper meaning. However, as an example, the word ‘parable' is used for a one-sentence figurative teaching in Mark 7:17 where it refers back to Jesus' statement in verse 15:  GW “Nothing that goes into a person from the outside can make him unclean. It's what comes out of a person that makes him unclean.” In verse 17, the disciples ask Jesus to explain that ‘parable'.  With that footnote, I want you to know that I will really just be talking briefly about what we normally think of as parables, the story type. In the episode notes, I give links to more complete and scholarly information than what I will present to you. In particular, I recommend viewing the 6 minute video from bibleproject.com entitled The Parables of Jesus. Also in the episode notes, I have links to both a video and a good summary about Interpreting Parables by Bob Utley.   ======= Bob Utley's Special Topic page on Interpreting Parables:http://www.freebiblecommentary.org/special_topics/parable_interpretation.html Bob Utley's video on Luke 15:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f76EvjGy7Jw Don't miss the cool video from BibleProject.com! Title: The Parables of Jesus   I appreciated the original thinking and humorous examples in this short article:https://www.1517.org/articles/understanding-jesus-parables =======   As I was thinking about what to mention to you, I was reading a historically-interesting commentary by Christopher Wordsworth from 1856, and I almost stumbled into a common error in interpreting parables, which is thinking of them as allegories. An example of this is Luke chapter 15, where we have the parable of the Lost Sheep, the Lost Coin, and the Lost Son. Wordsworth gives an allegorical interpretation, assigning an identity to all the characters. In this case, the shepherd is Christ, who searches for his lost sheep. That's not too bad. But seeing the woman who loses one of her coins as a picture of the church, is definitely stretching things. Similarly in the Parable of the Lost Son, the father is interpreted as God, the younger son as the Gentiles who repent, and the older son as the Jews.  One of the things that leads people to take an overly allegorical approach to the parables has to be Jesus himself, in his foundational teaching about the parables found in Mark 4, Mat. 13, and Luk. 8. In Jesus' explanation of the Parable of the Sower, He might almost contradict my last point about allegorical interpretation. It just happens that the Parable of the Sower (also called the Parable of the Different Kinds of Soil) has clear allegorical elements (the birds, path, rocky soil, etc), whereas for many other parables it doesn't help to seek an allegorical identity for the various participants. A second thing that is unusual in the Parable of the Soils is that it has clear multiple teaching points, whereas most parables have a single, simple point. I have mentioned all this heavy stuff to bring us around to this simple point: When we get too fancy in our interpretation of parables, we tend to miss the main point, which is to ask, “How does this apply to me?” The cool thing about parables is that Jesus intended them to be multi-purpose. People who were ready to believe in Jesus would get one interpretation, and the religious leaders criticizing Him would understand Jesus' meaning very differently. Both groups got a correct interpretation, as Jesus intended, even though the interpretations were different.  This propensity of parables to be interpreted differently has a plus side and a negative side. On one hand, we must remember that parables are not good for determining doctrine. Let's not decide the timing of Jesus' second coming based on parables, but some of the parables clearly illustrate something about Jesus' second coming. The plus side is that the Holy Spirit may use Jesus' parables to say something very pointedly appropriate for you. I have been amazed that in the Parable of Different Kinds of Soil I sometimes find that I am dangerously close to living amongst thorns, way too concerned with the cares of this life. But in a few months when I come across the parable again, I find that I have moved over to the rocky soil, meaning that I might glibly say that I love God's Word, but on that day if I am honest, I have to admit that my roots are dangerously shallow. Another illustration of a personal application for me is this, which I don't think I have ever shared with anyone before: When I read the story of the prodigal son, I am reminded that I acted like the prodigal son, when I was young and thoughtless, by asking for part of my inheritance early. I didn't realize that this was tantamount to wishing my father dead. How this must have hurt him! I wish I could tell him how sorry I am that I ever did that. Don't look to parables for decisions about moving to another city, quitting your job, or selling your house. That's not what I mean by a personal application.  Finally, here are three final pointers: Understanding the context and the audience Jesus was speaking to is key to understanding what Jesus was saying. You can see a progression in Luke's Gospel that leads from more general parables about the Kingdom of God, to Jesus' identity as the king who will return, and to whom everyone will give an account. Look to see if the Gospel writer or Jesus himself tells what He was driving at. And also take note of any surprising twist in the story. Such twists often give an important clue to the meaning. Let me illustrate that idea of a surprising twist found in some parables. One of my favorite booklets that we printed to display our translation in Indonesia is a collection of 25 parables. If I am in Indonesia, I like to have that booklet handy in my bag. There was one devout Islamic taxi driver that took me to my home at least six times. Because of frequent traffic jams in Jakarta, a 20 minute trip can take two hours on bad days. So I started reading the parables to him. He was interested, and it was way better than trying to debate with him about our religions. After many of the parables he would say, “OK, yeah. I think we Muslims could agree with that one.” That continued until we got to the Parable of the Vineyard owner in Matthew 20. That's the one where the vineyard owner gives all the workers the same pay for a full day's work, even though some workers only worked for one hour. He responded, “What?! He did that? That's crazy. That's unfair!” This gave me an opportunity to talk about God's kindness. We call it grace. God wants to be generous with us, because none of us can manage to earn our salvation. God designed this counterintuitive situation so that all glory would go to our Savior, and none would go to us. As I will not be living in the same place in Jakarta when I go back (in July 2022), it is not likely that I will take that route again with the same taxi driver. It is not appropriate for me to share his name. But you can join me in praying for that taxi driver that I read parables to. To give you a chance of hearing a parable for the first time (like Jesus' followers had), I'll read The Innovator by G. Williams Jones, from his book with the same name, published by Abingdon Press, copyright 1969.  The complete name of the book is The Innovator and Other Modern Parables. Announcement: If anyone knows of any of the heirs of G. William Jones, please ask them to contact me. May the Lord bless you ‘Real Good'! Phil

Let me illustrate that idea of a surprising twist found in some parables. One of my favorite booklets that we printed to display our translation in Indonesia is a collection of 25 parables. If I am in Indonesia, I like to have that booklet handy in my bag. There was one devout Islamic taxi driver that took me to my home at least six times. Because of frequent traffic jams in Jakarta, a 20 minute trip can take two hours on bad days. So I started reading the parables to him. He was interested, and it was way better than trying to debate with him about our religions. After many of the parables he would say, “OK, yeah. I think we Muslims could agree with that one.” That continued until we got to the Parable of the Vineyard owner in Matthew 20. That's the one where the vineyard owner gives all the workers the same pay for a full day's work, even though some workers only worked for one hour. He responded, “What?! He did that? That's crazy. That's unfair!” This gave me an opportunity to talk about God's kindness. We call it grace. God wants to be generous with us, because none of us can manage to earn our salvation. God designed this counterintuitive situation so that all glory would go to our Savior, and none would go to us. As I will not be living in the same place in Jakarta when I go back (in July 2022), it is not likely that I will take that route again with the same taxi driver. It is not appropriate for me to share his name. But you can join me in praying for that taxi driver that I read parables to. To give you a chance of hearing a parable for the first time (like Jesus' followers had), I'll read The Innovator by G. Williams Jones, from his book with the same name, published by Abingdon Press, copyright 1969.  The complete name of the book is The Innovator and Other Modern Parables. Announcement: If anyone knows of any of the heirs of G. William Jones, please ask them to contact me. May the Lord bless you ‘Real Good'! Phil

This week, I spoke to Ericka Chambers and William Jones, Co-Founders of Puzzles of Color, a company that brings artists of color to thousands of homes through frameable jigsaw puzzles. The company's mission is to provide tech-free entertainment for people of all ages. Their puzzles are interactive art pieces that create experiences and memories that last a lifetime.Ericka got the inspiration for Puzzles of Color while she was pregnant. A co-worker of hers shared a nursery decor idea of having a puzzle hung over her baby's bed. Being an avid puzzle lover, she was sold! Erika, William, and their parents did puzzles together while growing up. It facilitated family bonding and a fun, tech-free challenge. Armed with feelings of nostalgia, Ericka began the search for the perfect puzzle but was disappointed when she didn't find anything that represented people of color.This dynamic sibling duo shows us that family businesses can still work; there is no sibling rivalry here! They've mastered the art of honing each other's unique skills, which has enabled them to sail through the highs and lows as a team. In today's episode, Ericka and Willam share many vital lessons that have helped them pivot when things haven't gone as planned. They stressed the importance of communicating openly with their customers about their challenges, setting deadlines for tasks, and having numerous backup plans at their disposal.

If you've worked in restaurants, factories, hotels, schools, or other places before attaining your dream job, you're going to relate well to this episode's guest. William Jones is the editor-in-chief for Independent Agent magazine, the flagship publication of the Independent Insurance Agents and Brokers of America, Incorporated. But before he landed this position in October of 2020, he worked in all of those places. He's grateful for those experiences, however, because insurance is a part of every industry, and knowing first-hand the risks inherent in work in several industries has helped him better relate to members and what they want to know about through the magazine. We talk with William about why it's hard for writers to build a career. When the Internet makes it easy for anyone to publish their words, the supply of writers increases. But so do the opportunities to practice your craft and set yourself apart from the pack. We cover how Will went from writing stories for free for a soccer fanzine to becoming editor in chief of a publication that serves 38,000 independent insurance agents. We also cover how Will and his team heavily rely upon data to know how readers are responding to Independent Agent's content, and how essential it is to frequently survey readers to know what to talk about in future issues. IIABA is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year. And, the association has continuously published Independent Agent since 1903. There's a lot of tradition associated with a publication that established, but tradition will only get you so far. Will's routine for examining readership surveys, and studying click and impression numbers and visitor activity on IA's website is what keeps Independent Agent going strong in an era when many associations are decreasing the frequency of their print publications or ceasing them altogether.

Please join us for a History Book Club virtual event from the University of Minnesota's Department of History, the Ramsey County Historical Society, the University of Minnesota's African American and African Studies Department and the Labor and Working History Association. This event features a discussion of "Workers on Arrival: Black Labor in the Making of America" by Joe Trotter. Joe Trotter (PhD ‘80), Giant Eagle Professor of History at Carnegie Mellon University, will discuss his book with moderator William Jones, Professor of History at the University of Minnesota. About the book: Workers on Arrival: Black Labor in the Making of America, University of California Press (January 2019) From the ongoing issues of poverty, health, housing and employment to the recent upsurge of lethal police-community relations, the black working class stands at the center of perceptions of social and racial conflict today. Journalists and public policy analysts often discuss the black poor as “consumers” rather than “producers,” as “takers” rather than “givers,” and as “liabilities” instead of “assets.” In his engrossing new history, Workers on Arrival, Joe William Trotter, Jr. refutes these perceptions by charting the black working class's vast contributions to the making of America. Covering the last four hundred years since Africans were first brought to Virginia in 1619, Trotter traces black workers' complicated journey from the transatlantic slave trade through the American Century to the demise of the industrial order in the 21st century. At the center of this compelling, fast-paced narrative are the actual experiences of these African American men and women. A dynamic and vital history of remarkable contributions despite repeated setbacks, Workers on Arrival expands our understanding of America's economic and industrial growth, its cities, ideas, and institutions, and the real challenges confronting black urban communities today. About the author: Joe William Trotter, Jr. is the Giant Eagle Professor of History and Social Justice and past History Department Chair at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He is also the Director and Founder of Carnegie Mellon's Center for Africanamerican Urban Studies and the Economy, President Elect of the Urban History Association and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Professor Trotter received his BA degree from Carthage College in Kenosha, Wisconsin and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Minnesota. He is currently working on a study of African American urban life since the Atlantic slave trade. About the moderator William P. Jones is a professor of history at the University of Minnesota and president of the Labor and Working Class History Association. He currently serves as the director of graduate studies for the History Department. An expert on race and labor in the twentieth-century United States, he is author of two award-winning books, The Tribe of Black Ulysses: African American Lumber Workers in the Jim Crow South (2005) and The March on Washington: Jobs, Freedom, and the Forgotten History of Civil Rights (2013).
