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. He majored in South Asian history and Hindi at the Australian National University and has a PhD in Indian history from the University of New South Wales.

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

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.

First up on TalkFlagler's second season is Alta Loma, a four-piece hair metal band who've gathered a considerable following since their debut single dropped in early 2020. Alta Loma consists of Aaron Grove, Alec Stephens, William Jones, and Hunter Hawkins, four friends who came together over their mutual love of classic 80's hard rock. When "So Bad" released to streaming platforms a year or so ago, observers quickly noticed the striking similarities to the likes of Def Leppard, Van Halen, and Motley Crue before them. But while Alta Loma fits right in with the music of an earlier time, they're anything but derivative. "So Bad" and "Two Face" are a new step forward in a genre that's lied mostly dormant for the last few decades, something classic rock fanatics are sure to take an instant liking to.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/talkflagler)

After six months away, Team Dynamics have been working hard to develop a striking new livery for the 2021 season and can't wait to get back out there racing on the 9th May!The ‘Best of British' inspired theme links in nicely to the title sponsors Halfords and Cataclean who are both British born organisations, but also harks back to Team Dynamics history of over 30 years in the British Touring Car Championship.Matt Neal Director at Team Dynamics, commented “We have been working on this livery for several months now and it is always difficult to try and do something different and striking each season, whilst being mindful of giving our sponsors the best bang for their buck. The car looks fast standing still!”Ross Baigent MD of Cataclean, closed “It's a standout livery and ties in perfectly with our partnership with Halfords and Team Dynamics this season, we are proud of being British and all our bottles of Cataclean carry the Union Jack flag”.
"Hello again Word Lovers!" on this outing we are going to step out of the history of words and take a look at the symbols of mathematics! ( The round brackets) Apparently invented by Erasmus, replacing the more square shaped example used until then = Equals Invented by Robert Recorde in 1557. The Welsh physician and mathematician is also credited with introducing the pre existing + sign to English speakers in the same year. His life is one of meteoric rise and stunning decline. Being appointed royal physician and then controller of the Royal Mint before then being sued for defamation and dying in debtors prison. @ - The at symbol is far older than anyone could imagine, being noted in texts as early as 1536. π - The Pie symbol, from the Greek letter π was first devised by another Welshman, mathematician William Jones in 1706, although he wrote that his equations came from the "ready pen of the truly ingenious Mr. John Machin" leading to speculation that he may have put it to use before Jones. The idea was not immediately adopted by others, who continued to use fractions to represent the figure beyond 1760. + & - were put to use in the late 15th century by German mathematicians. Prior to their implementation, P or M or PP and MM were used. X for multiplication was originally a simply dot or point. The x can be traced to English mathematician William Oughtred in 1618 although there are examples of earlier use but they are hotly debated in symbol etymology chasing circles. ∞ for infinity was first used by John Wallis, English mathematician, in the mid 1650s. Leonhard Euler, the Swiss mathematician was rather prolific in the line of symbol invention but there is some dispute about his complete list. We investigated the numbers 1 to 10 in episode 10 "Pie Again" but the number zero was not covered. It is, without surprise, a complicated story. It seems the earliest use of the symbol can be traced to 220AD. The word zero, first used around 1598, comes to English from French, which in turn is believed to have emerged from Venice (We recently covered a series of words that came from Venice in episode 18) via Arabic. Zero - Zafiro - Safir or Sifr (Cipher) meaning empty. The Arabic word was itself a translation of a Sanskrit word. Going from zero and emptiness to "nothing" is a little Charly bonus to listen out for at the end of this episode. As well as being the host of our Interesting Etymologies series, Charly Taylor is a stand up comedian and author. His latest offering is available now: SkipDeLirio's Worst Ever Gig : A novel by Charly Taylor Caesar's army has returned from the long campaign in Gaul and the enemy has been all but defeated. Some of Pompey's army, however, remains in Africa. Together with straggling Roman rebels and the local king Juba, they are gathering forces to prepare one last attack on what is now Caesar's Rome. But there is one problem – a descendant of Scipio Africanus is fighting on the side of the Africans. And without a Scipio of their own, the superstitious Romans refuse to go to Africa to fight. So Caesar sends out soldiers to find himself a Scipio. Luckily, there is a man of such name right there in Rome – a local drunkard and tavern entertainer distantly descended from the legendary warrior. Kidnapped solely on account of his ‘heritage', the lowly clown is forced to lead out the troops in the battle of Thapsus. There, ‘history' tells us, Scipio ‘disappears from the historical record'. Until now. This is the story of how ‘Nobody' Skip DeLirio, with the cards finally all dealt in his favour, still managed to fuck it up. History will only take you so far. The rest is make-believe.

In today’s Substack-fueled shout-out, Code for Charlottesville is seeking volunteers with tech, data, design, and research skills to work on community service projects. Founded in September 2019, Code for Charlottesville has worked on projects with the Legal Aid Justice Center, the Charlottesville Fire Department, and the Charlottesville Office of Human Rights. Visit the Code for Charlottesville website to learn more, including details on three projects that are underway. On today’s show:Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority adopts budget Albemarle Supervisor Diantha McKeel announces bid for a third term representing the county’s most dense districtThe Tom Tom Foundation explores Ascension in the Black CommunityBlue Ridge Health District will move to Phase 2 on April 12Charlottesville City Council takes a first step toward repealing its COVID ordinanceThe Blue Ridge Health District will soon open up vaccine appointments to all residents over the age of 16. Dr. Denise Bonds gave an update to City Council on Monday.“The governor has asked that all health districts be in Phase 2 by April 18 and so we will certainly meet that and I really expect that we will exceed that moving into phase 2 certainly by the beginning of next week,” Dr. Bonds said.Just minutes after Dr. Bonds finished her presentation, BRHD announced on their Facebook page that they would indeed open up to Phase 2 on Monday, April 12. She encouraged people to register on vaccinate.virginia.gov and for people in Phase 1A, 1B, and 1C to schedule shots now. Later in the meeting, Council held the first reading of a repeal of ts local COVID-19 ordinance which was adopted last July shortly before University of Virginia students began to arrive. Councilor Heather Hill requested the item be on the agenda. “Separately from the Governor’s executive orders, the city’s local ordinance continues to impose local restrictions on the number of persons allowed in food establishments,” Hill said. “I have concerns and I don’t think I’m alone but as things progress relative to reopening over the next several months, there continues to be confusion and discrepancy between what is being directed at both the state and local level.”That’s meant the Council has had to update its ordinance a couple of times in order to align with the state’s executive order. Governor Northam’s executive order 72 was last updated on March 23. Councilor Michael Payne has been opposed to previous attempts to repeal the ordinance, but he changed his mind. *At this point if the only difference is the in-person dining, it seems like it’s at a point where it’s not even enforceable at this point,” Payne said. “Just for clarity with the vaccine roll-out beginning and the clarity of the rules it may be just better to just go with the state level ordinances.”Mayor Nikuyah Walker said she would not support the repeal and cited concern about the potential for another surge. “I think that we are still feeding into what we wish our current state would be versus where we actually are,” Walker said. A second reading of the repeal vote will come back to the Council at another meeting. Walker requested it be on the regular agenda rather than the consent agenda. Today the Virginia Department of Health reports that 18.8 percent of Virginians are fully vaccinated and the seven-day average for doses per day is now 78,785. VDH also reports another 1,505 new cases today and the seven-day percent positivity is 6.2 percent. There have now been 206 COVID-deaths in the Blue Ridge Health District. Source: Virginia Department of HealthAlbemarle Supervisor Diantha McKeel took to the steps of the county office building in downtown Charlottesville Tuesday morning to announce her campaign to seek a third term representing the Jack Jouett District on the Board of Supervisors. “Four years ago I promised collaborative work in regional partnerships to strengthen business retention and expansion to create mid-level job opportunities,” McKeel said. “To integrate land use and multimodal transportation improvements, strengthen our investment in public safety services, expand affordable housing, and create a community resiliency plan to addres the damaging impacts from climate change.” McKeel said that since she has been on the Board, the county has a focus on economic development with a dedicated office devoted to the task. She also pointed to the creation of the Regional Transit Partnership. She said if she is elected to a third term, she will work on connectivity and continue to advance the goal of community resiliency. “I’d also like to give a shout-out to the community for their patience and flexibility in working with us over the last year,” McKeel said. McKeel is the first candidate this year to announce on the steps of the County Office Building, a traditional spot for people to launch their bids. She said after a year of virtual meetings, she wanted to make a statement with her socially-distanced announcement. “I chose to do this announcement not over Zoom or Facebook but to do it in person because I’ve missed seeing everybody and I’ve missed being out and I think with our social distancing we can do it safely outside,” McKeel said. McKeel said she has lived in the Jack Jouett District for over 40 years. When she arrived, Albemarle was like a bedroom community for Charlottesville, particularly in her district. Now things are different. “It really has changed,” McKeel said. “The Jouett District is the smallest district geographically but we’re the densest district because if you think about it, many of the apartment complexes and we’re sort of in what I call the urban ring area. There are certainly other urban rings in other magisterial districts but we have the densehave urban rings.”The seats in the Samuel Miller District and Rio District are also up this November. Liz Palmer will not seek a third term in Samuel Miller District. Jim Andrews is on the ballot in the June 8 Democratic primary, as is Ned Gallaway for the Rio District. Supervisor Diantha McKeel made her campaign announcement on April 6, 2021The Greene County Board of Supervisors has voted to formally request Madison County and Orange County to release Greene County from the Rapidan Service Authority. All three counties are members of the RSA, and there is a disagreement about whether to proceed with a new reservoir to serve Greene. Last summer, the RSA blocked the use of facility fees paid by Greene ratepayers to pay for the project, which has a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. County Administrator Mark B. Taylor explained at a special meeting Monday night that the RSA is now willing to let Greene go, but there is a process.“The RSA Board last week [urged] that week that we come back to the Board of Supervisors and ask for a resolution to be passed to reinitiate or reactivate our request to withdraw from the Rapidan Service Authority,” Taylor said. “Greene County is at a situation of wanting and needing to withdraw or depart by whatever means from the Rapidan Service Authority.The special meeting was held yesterday in order to get the item on the agendas of the Madison and Orange Boards. The Greene County Board of Supervisors will be briefed on the status of litigation against the RSA at a closed meeting next week. (Greene website on the White Run project)The permit for the reservoir expires in 2028. That and all of the other documents are on the Greene County website. The fiscal year for the Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority began on April 1 and the Board of Commissioners formally adopted a budget at their meeting on March 30. A week before, they had discussed the possibility of ending a $240,000 contract with Sentry Force Security for security patrols of CRHA properties. Brandon Collins, an employee of the Public Housing Association of Residents, got right to the point in the public comment period on March 30. “We know that the big question before you is what to do about the security contract and the massive amount of money you’re spending for security contract that from you all’s perspective and from many residents’ perspective is not really accomplishing much, especially for the amount of money being spent,” Collins said. Tim Sansone with Sentry Force Security once again appeared to make the case for his company to continue being paid to patrol CRHA properties.“Since we last met last Monday, there’s now over 167 incidents that have occurred since January since we started,” Sansone said. “That’s an increase of 20 since last Monday.” Sansone said Sentry Force personnel had also stopped patrolling at Crescent Halls and were instead focusing on checking IDs, a decision made after discussion with CRHA Director John Sales. During the discussion of the budget, Sales said he put two positions in the document to pay for CRHA employees to run the door at Crescent Halls. But he also said CRHA is on track to set aside enough reserves to meet a requirement from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development by the end of fiscal year on March 31, 2022.“HUD has us meeting it in two years so we’ll beat that by a year which is really nice so that will get us out of troubled status for our financial situation,” Sales said.Before the vote, much of the discussion was about the security issue. Sales said a community group called the B.U.C.K. Squad has been patrolling the area. “I think the B.U.C.K. Squad is actively working in the communities already even without having a contract or anything in place,” Sales said. There is $133,000 in the FY22 budget for a line item called tenant protection. The CRHA Safety Committee will determine how the money in the budget is spent, and it could involve the B.U.C.K. Squad or Peace in the Streets being paid. Commissioner Lisa Green, who joined the CRHA Board last summer, said she was concerned these groups’ work might not be sustainable. “I feel like some of this was formed on emotion, on the death of someone and I am concerned that the momentum can keep going when that emotion starts to [dissipate],” Green said. “I do think what is being done is extremely admirable and we talk about thinking outside the box a lot.”Dr. A’Lelia Henry, a resident who is also on the CRHA Board, heard the concern but felt they would have staying power. “A lot of the folks involved in the B.U.C.K. Squad have also been involved in generational issues involving crime within this very community and I think that’s why they feel somewhat closer to what’s going on,” Henry said. The contract with Sentry Force will end in May.You’re reading to Charlottesville Community Engagement. This patron-supported public service announcement is from an anonymous supporter.

(learn more on their website)Including today, there are still two more days in the Tom Tom Foundation’s Race and Equity Conference, which has the name From the Classroom to the Boardroom. Last Tuesday, the first panel dealt how art and community can play a role in lifting up the Black community. Sarad Davenport, the first executive director of City of Promise was the moderator for Ascension: Joining Together to Rewrite the Code and he explained how the concept came up during the program’s development. (watch on YouTube)“You know, what’s going on? Who’s doing amazing things, and this concept of ascension came up and who is like innovating at a higher level and taking the community to new levels that have never been seen before and who can offer insight to the rest of us?” Davenport asked. One of the panelists was Lisa Woolfork, who has risen to notoriety for her work advancing the art and science of sewing through her Instagram account and podcast.“Black Women Stitch is the sewing group where Black Lives Matter and the Stitch Please podcast is an extension and the official podcast of Black Women Stitch and Stitch Please podcast centers Black women, girls and femmes in sewing,” Woolfork said. “This may sound like a very niche type of podcast which I believe it is, but it reflects the larger need for Black women, girls and femmes to see ourselves, to be centered, to build community and among one another.” Woolfork said she did not see anyone else doing the work, so she took it upon herself to create the platform to craft a community based in creativity. “But is also committed to racial justice and Black liberation and radical self-love,” Woolfork said. “These are things that all work together in how we operate as a project.” Woolfork said at the end of 2019 she was approaching 10,000 downloads of the show. “And at the end of 2020, I was like, wouldn’t it be amazing if we could get 100,000 downloads?” Woolfork asked. “That would be like ten times the amount that we started with. Wouldn’t that be great? And at the end of day we ended up with 125,000 downloads.” Sahara Clemons was a guest on the September 9, 2020 edition of Stitch Please, and went next on the Ascension panel. “I think my approach to art is really centered, or where it started, is looking at the intersectionality between being a woman and being Black and also just my love of fashion and apparel and how those things kind of mesh together in creating works that really highlight Black women in these pops of color and these designs of these clothing that I work into the painting themselves to create this holistic narrative of lifting these people up in a way that I feel like hasn’t been show in this particularly light,” Wilson said.The final panelist was William Jones, the creator of the Prolyfyck Run Creww which organizes early morning runs through Black neighborhoods three days a week. According to an article in Runner’s World that was published on March 23, Jones moved to Charlottesville in 2009. Davenport set up the introduction.“Often times, Charlottesville doesn’t necessarily get good press in some of these national publications but the Prolyfyck Run Creww was a bright light and other national media organizations like running magazines recently did a feature on you all,” Davenport said. “Just to set it off for the Prolyfyck Run Creww, tell the people who might not know kind of about the origins and the conception of the Prolyfyck Run Creww movement.”“It started just from running,” Jones said. “Honestly, I never really paid attention that running was like in there the way that I understand it to be in there now but in my journey to Virginia I stopped in Maryland for a week or two but when I was there I got to see Black people living really healthy lifestyles and part of that was running. Like they would just for no reason run on the street and that just seemed really weird to me.” But when he got to Charlottesville, he did not see Black people running. He worked at a barber’s shop on Cherry Avenue and was able to see people in the community. He later moved to a shop on Emmet Street that was not the same. “I was a little more disconnected,” Jones said. “I was only seeing my clientele but I wasn’t able to just see the young boys walking down the street and stuff. So unconsciously just like to fix that I just would go out at night, park at First Street, and I would just connect all of the hoods. I would go First Street, through Sixth Street, through Garrett. I would just run this route that one day I took Wes Bellamy on with me and it whooped him, and he was like, ‘man, this is dope though because I live in Charlottesville and I know these communities but I’ve never run through them.” Jones said if he had grown up in Charlottesville, he would have grown up in these neighborhoods. He needed to run on the streets to ground himself in the community. Working at a barber shop, he began to invite people. “So, I would invite brothers to come out and run, like, yo, you all want to do something, let’s take care of ourselves and I would invite brothers so many times that some of them just came,” Jones said. During the pandemic, the idea took off. Videos were posted on Instagram and number of people running grew. “I think white people were really looking for something to do with their energy to help answer some of the injustice issues that were going on, and to like put their energy somewhere to better learn about the community that they don’t know and I think this Black-led run group just fit,” Jones said.You can watch the rest of the presentation on the Tom Tom Foundation’s YouTube page.

On today’s show: Housing updates from Regional Housing Partnership UVA President Jim Ryan kicks off the Tom Tom Foundation’s Race and Equity ConferenceThe City of Charlottesville is advertising for a slew of management positions Crescent Halls renovation moving forward with a date scheduled for a virtual kickoff A brief look at the pandemicToday marks the beginning of the Tom Tom Foundation’s Race and Equity Conference which is a pay-what-you-can virtual event that seeks to explore “the intersection of workplace and community.”The title of the multi-day series is From the Classroom to the Boardroom and is intended to address income disparities. The conference website cites the latest report on family self-sufficiency from Ridge Schuyler of the Network2Work program at Piedmont Virginina Community College. (Orange Dot Report 4.0, January 20, 2021)“In our hometown, Charlottesville, Virginia, 35% of Black families do not currently earn enough money to meet their basic needs, compared to 14% of white families,” reads the conference website. “Targeted interventions can help address this racial inequity where its impact is most often felt—in our classrooms, boardrooms, and on the pathways in between.” University of Virginia President Jim Ryan kicked off the event this morning.“As we focus on re-building community, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic, innovation and collaboration remain critically important, especially around issues of diversity, equity and inclusion,” Ryan said. Ryan said efforts to improve the overall community are underway and that the Classroom to Boardroom conference would provide highlights.“Throughout this week you’ll hear from local and national leaders on their experiences and perspectives,” Ryan said. One of those national leaders is Symone Sanders, who served as press secretary to U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders during his 2016 presidential campaign before becoming spokesperson for Vice President Kamala Harris. Symone Sanders was the keynote conversation this morning. She was asked to speak about some of the challenges and barriers she has experienced as a Black woman.“I think we can all identify with the ‘isms’ and Donna Brazile, a good mentor of mine, a former chair of the Democratic National Committee and a former CNN political commentator, Donna Brazile was a political commentator before people had jobs as political commentators!” Sanders said. “She said something to me that I will never forget and will share it with you now because I think it is the best encapsulation of the answer to your question. She said racism, sexism, ageism are not going anywhere tomorrow. We have to work to eradicate it. We have to call it out.”The event continues this afternoon with two more panel discussions. At 1 p.m. the topic is “Ascension: Joining Together to Rewrite the Code” and will be a discussion of the social fabric required for art and community to grow featuring Sahara Clemons, William Jones, and Lisa Woolfork moderated by Sarad Davenport. At 3 p.m. the topic is The Transformative Value of Diversity and Inclusion and is moderated by Mary Coleman, the executive director of the City of Promise.

The Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority will hold a virtual renovation kickoff celebration at 4 p.m. on April 14 at 4 p.m. “The ‘skeleton’ of the building will be preserved, but all of the residential units, building systems, underground infrastructure, common areas, exterior spaces, parking areas, etc. will be as-new,” reads a description of the renovations on the CRHA website. For more information on the project, read a four-page design overview produced by the Public Housing Association of Residents (PHAR). Last October, City Council approved a performance agreement that will be used by the CRHA’s redevelopment nonprofit to govern how $3 million in city funds will be used both for Crescent Halls and the first phase of South First Street. Groundbreaking for the latter took place on March 7. (watch groundbreaking) (read previous story)The CRHA will hold a work session tonight at 5 p.m. at which they are expected to adopt a budget for FY22. Following that, the CRHA’s safety committee will meet.

The Central Virginia Regional Housing Partnership met earlier this month and got updates on various initiatives underway. One of them involves helping outlying communities write policies for ensuring the existence of housing affordable to people with lower incomes. Christine Jacobs is the interim director of the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission. “We are creating a draft Comprehensive Plan chapter for each of the jurisdictions within the planning district commission,” Jacobs said. “The City of Charlottesville, Albemarle, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa and Nelson.” Jacobs said there will also be a chapter in the regional plan that offers strategies on how the localities can work together to increase the overall supply of housing.“We now have a draft of all six of the locality chapters,” Jacobs said. “We have been working directly with staff specifically in Albemarle and Charlottesville since they have been doing so much work on their end with their affordable housing plans.” Jacobs said the regional plan will also include a map which shows the areas in each locality where zoning exists for multifamily buildings and other dense residential uses. A draft of the regional plan will come to the RHP’s executive committee in May and will come to the full RHP board in June. The plans will be presented to localities in the summer and will go to the TJPDC Board in August. Albemarle’s Housing Plan next goes to the Albemarle Planning Commission in May. Charlottesville’s City Council endorsed an affordable housing plan earlier this month. “Basically we’re taking their very large plans and condensing it into our chapter so that they are a part of this entire regional plan,” Jacobs said. Supervisor Diantha McKeel asked where the University of Virginia’s housing plans fit into the region. On March 10, 2020, UVA announced a ten year plan to build up to 1,500 units on land currently owned by UVA or its real estate foundation. Colette Sheehy, senior vice president for operations and government relations at UVA, gave an update.“We did a solicitation and we have hired a consultant to help us, her name is Gina Merrett,” Sheehy said. Merrett is with Northern Real Estate Urban Ventures. “This is not a consultant who will build affordable housing for us,” Sheehy said. “This is a consultant to guide the University through the process to get to the point where we would do a [request for proposals] to the developer community to build affordable housing.”Sheehy said UVA’s main contribution will come in the form of land and that a community engagement process is being developed now. During the meeting, members of the RHP were asked to give a “value proposition” for the body. Jacobs went first with her thoughts.“I think by having a regional body that’s looking at this issue comprehensively, how it relates to transit and transportation, how it relates to equity and health, I think we put ourselves in a position to be considered to administer the Emergency Rent and Mortgage relief program,” Jacobs said. The TJPDC administered over $1.6 million in relief in the second half of calendar year 2020.The TJPDC administered the program for its first six monthsArchitect Greg Powe went next.“This is a regional crisis,” Powe said. “It affects all of us. This is the only group I’m aware of that brings together all of us that are impacted by and can positively resolve the problem. I think there’s incredible value to have the private sector interfacing with the municipalities and with the nonprofits interacting with the institutions.” Chris Henry of the Stony Point Development Group followed.“We’re one community and this group represents that community and how we come together to solve that problem so I think that’s the fundamental essence of the Regional Housing Partnership,” Henry said. RHP Chair Keith Smith of Fluvanna County said he has been discussing the possibility of bringing Augusta County and Waynesboro into the group. The TJPDC has worked with the Central Shenandoah Planning District Commission on planning for a transit route now known as the Afton Express. Charlottesville City Councilor Lloyd Snook played off of that theme.“A value of doing this Regional Housing Partnership through the TJPDC also ties in with the Regional Transit Partnership,” Snook said. “I’ve always said these days, affordable housing for the Charlottesville market is in Waynesboro or Buckingham County. It’s not in Charlottesville. It’s really not in Albemarle very much.”City Councilor Michael Payne agreed.“There’s really only been one project since I’ve been on Council where Council hasn’t approved greater density than what’s allowed by-right so I definitely agree that something is going to need to happen regionally because the supply-side solutions, if only Charlottesville is doing supply-side solutions, it’s going to have a much smaller impact than regionally,” Payne said. Before we go today, a brief update on the pandemic. The number of new cases reported each day by the Virginia Department of Health remains steady, even as the number of vaccinations each day continues to increase. Today there are another 1,432 new cases and the percent positive rate is at 5.8 percent. Last week that metric was 5.6 percent. Over 1.3 million Virginians are now fully vaccinated, or 15.5 percent of the total population. The seven-day average for doses administered per day is 61,681 a day. Yesterday the Blue Ridge Health District announced it would receive 1,500 first doses and 1,000 second doses of Moderna, 2,340 Pfizer first doses, and 4,000 Johnson and Johnson doses. That does not include allocations that now go directly to the UVA Hospital. The announcement also stated the health district is not yet able to expand to Phase 1C.“Unfortunately, our supply of COVID-19 vaccines remains limited this week, despite our numerous requests for an increase in supply,” reads the announcement. “We are unable to meet the demand for the number of people in our District who currently qualify for a vaccine.”Take a look at the Blue Ridge Health District’s Facebook page to learn more.

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).

Most people are aware of Clunes' gold mining history. It was home to Victoria's first registered discovery, made by one William Campbell in 1850. Up to the 1890s, gold powered the town's growth and gave it many fine buildings which survive relatively intact from ornate public halls to austere worker cottages.But when mining eventually came to an end, Clunes, like many resource boom towns, started to wither. By the 1930s the population had drastically declined and the place was practically a ghost town. Those who remained had to find jobs in the factories of Ballarat, as agricultural workers or they went hungry.One of the families who remained were the Jones family. They were descended from William Jones, a native of north Wales who came to work the mines in the 1860s. While the elder Jones left Clunes for richer pickings in Western Australia, many of his children and grandchildren remained in what became a quiet backwater.One of those descendants was Lloyd Jones, born 1933, who produced a book in 1989 about his childhood years, Just a Boy From the Bush. It is a highly detailed account of life growing up during the depression years in Clunes and regional Victoria and a window into another world.

This episode has a big focus on mental health. Ryan and I didn't even know each other before recording this. I've started to notice more and more authors and podcast hosts following my stories on Instagram and every so often I do a little research on the people to see what they're about. During a month full of people in my life going through a lot of things revolving around mental health I stumbled across Ryan Jones who once stood on the ledge of a building - ready to leave everything. I looked into his posts, checked his website, looked at previews of his book, he seemed legit. There is so much fake in the internet it was like right place right time. Ryan talks about who he admires in his life, who he owes a lot of gratitude to, and the importance of having a community or a group and communicating with the people in it. He talks about how journaling turned into book writing. We talk about dad jokes and how to stay motivated amidst constant rejection while battling depression. He's doing a lot of really cool things now, when it could have gone totally different. I am really grateful that I had the opportunity to connect with Ryan today.

The Northern Irish author of Cal and Grace Notes, Bernard MacLaverty talks to Anne McElvoy about his novel Midwinter Break plus Clair Wills on her research into post war immigration to Britain and the differing expectations and experience of migrants and European refugees. The daughter of Irish immigrants - she now teaches at Princeton University in USA. Joining in the discussion Will Jones, who researches the politics of migration and is working on developing the idea of matching markets which would match refugee preferences with state priorities. Anne also hears from Catherine Nixey a young historian with a tale to tell of who did for the pagans. Nixey claims that the old story of Roman paganism dying of its own accord and Christianity moving into a void is one told by the victors. The Christians in fact annihilated belief systems across the Empire in a concerted attack on their philosophy, buildings and artworks. Midwinter Break by Bernard MacLaverty is out now in hardback.

True Homosexual Experiences: Boyd McDonald and Straight to Hell (We Heard You Like Books) A World War II veteran from the Great Plains, Boyd McDonald (1925-1993) had the makings of a successful career in the 1950s—an education at Harvard, jobs at Time/Life and IBM—but things didn’t turn out as planned. After 20 years of resentful conformity and worsening alcoholism, McDonald dried out, pawned all of his suits, and went on welfare. It was then that his life truly began. From a tiny room in a New York SRO hotel, McDonald published Straight to Hell, a series of chapbooks collecting readers’ “true homosexual experiences.” Following the example of Alfred Kinsey, McDonald obsessively pursued the truth about sex between men just as gay liberation began to tame America’s sexual outlaws for the sake of legal recognition. Admired by such figures as Gore Vidal and William S. Burroughs, Straight to Hell combined a vigorous contempt for authority with a keen literary style, and was the precursor of queer ’zines decades later. Even after his death, Boyd McDonald continued to trouble the powers that be—he was the subject of a 2006 opinion by U. S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, who ruled that one of his books was pornographic while acknowledging that this question is ultimately vague and subjective. William E. Jones conducted in-depth interviews with many people from McDonald’s life, including friends, colleagues, and most unexpectedly, family members who revealed that he was a loving uncle who doted on his nieces and great-nieces. A complex portrait drawn from a wealth of previously unpublished material, True Homosexual Experiences: Boyd McDonald and Straight to Hell is the first biography devoted to a key figure of the American underground. Praise for True Homosexual Experiences “Move over Maxwell Perkins - here's another literary editor who deserves to be more famous than you. Boyd McDonald may have been an alcoholic, sex-obsessed lunatic who masturbated chronically while encouraging his perverted readers to send in endless descriptions of their gay sex lives with heterosexual men but he remained pure in spirit. His “Straight To Hell” chapbooks join Valerie Solanas’s “SCUM Manifesto” as the most radical (and hilarious) filth classics in modern literature.” -- John Waters William E. Jones was born in Canton, Ohio. He received a B. A. from Yale University and an M. F. A. from California Institute of the Arts. He has made the films Massillon (1991) and Finished (1997), which won a Los Angeles Film Critics Association award, the documentary Is It Really So Strange? (2004), and many videos including The Fall of Communism as Seen in Gay Pornography (1998). His work was included in the 1993 and 2008 Whitney Biennials, and he has had retrospectives at Tate Modern (2005), Anthology Film Archives (2010), and the Austrian Film Museum (2011). Jones has received a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grant, two California Community Foundation Fellowships, and most recently, a Creative Capital/Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant. His books include "Killed": Rejected Images of the Farm Security Administration (2010), Halsted Plays Himself (2011), Between Artists: Thom Andersen and William E. Jones (2013), Imitation of Christ, named one of the best photo books of 2013 by Time magazine, and Flesh and the Cosmos (2014). He lives in Los Angeles.
A surprising discovery made by a William Jones, British judge in India uncovered the existence of an ancient language, the ancestor of an amazing variety of modern languages - from English and French, to the Persian Farsi and Indian Sanskrit. The speakers of this language didn't leave any written evidence behind, but researchers were able to reconstruct it never the less. How? it's a kind of a fairy tale, really... ;-) The post The Indo-European Language, Pt. 1 | Curious Minds appeared first on Curious Minds Podcast.
In February 2015 the UK government launched Contracts Finder, a portal that advertises open government-spending contract opportunities, allowing companies to easily and quickly bid for them. The UK spends £250 billion every year on public spending contracts, including vital public services like the NHS and it’s important that this money is spent as efficiently as possible. As part of an ASI fellowship, William Jones worked in collaboration with the UK Cabinet Office to increase the number of companies bidding on these contracts. He did this by automatically recommending them contracts which are available and relevant, using publicly accessible information from UK companies. The web application William built is called Contracts Recommender. His talk will explain the public sources of information he uses as well as how Contracts Recommender works. William Jones was recently awarded the MPhil in Advanced Computer Science from the Cambridge Computer Laboratory with Distinction. During the ASI fellowship he first worked on a deep learning image classification project with Tractable.io, using the convolutional neural network framework Caffe. Following this he joined a project with the Cabinet Office using natural language processing to automatically recommend relevant government procurement contracts to companies in the UK. He has just started a PhD in Mathematical Genomics at Cambridge.
Professor Sunil Khilnani looks at the contribution Sir William Jones made to our understanding of Indian history and culture. Jones set sail for India at the end of the 18th century where he became one of the greatest advocates for studying the glories of India's past. Already a master of many languages, he learned Sanskrit which he declared "more perfect than the Greeks, more copious than the Latin and more exquisitely refined than either". He introduced a radical idea: that Sanskrit and Europe's classical languages were all tributaries of a single, lost linguistic river. Professor Khilnani describes Jones as "a man who arrived in India and studied its culture with humility and then sought to awaken the West to its riches. The irony is that he also awakened the East".

BTW (Penny-Ante Editions) Another Skylight favorite, Jarett Kobek, returns with his most comic work yet, a love letter to Los Angeles and terrible relationships. For tonight's reading he will be joined by artist William E. Jones. Bad relationships, interracial dating, cross-faith intermarriage, the endless pangs of love, reality television, Muslim fundamentalism, Crispin Hellion Glover, Internet pornography, Turkish secularism in the era of Erdoğan, the amorous habits of Thomas Jefferson, errant dogs, monogamous cheeseburger tattoos, alcoholics without recovery, 9/11 PTSD, female Victorian novelists, the people who go to California to die. Jarett Kobek's second novel, BTW, presents the tragicomedy of a young man in Los Angeles balancing a lunatic father, two catastrophic relationships, identity politics, and American pop culture at its most confused. Praise for BTW: “Moving from Williamsburg to Echo Park, Kobek's account of post-NYU life in the aughts (so generic it can barely be lived, yet alone retold) is surprisingly disrupted as primitive identities of religion and race surface among this young, well-connected, smart and otherwise evolved group of friends. In this, his second novel, Kobek's writing continues to impress."--CHRIS KRAUS, author of Where Art Belongs and I Love Dick “Half of BTW is a coming of age novel about the narrator's romantic entanglements, the most significant of which turns out to be with the city of Los Angeles; the other half is the real love story, played out between the narrator and his father. This father, who is by turns hectoring, profane, and tenderin phone conversations and voicemail messages from his native Turkey, counts as one of the great comic characters in recent fiction, the sort of eccentric with whom you spend a minute in an elevator but can't forget."--William Jones, author of Halstead Plays Himself "Jarett Kobek's deceptively artless prose responds like a flower to the sunlight of joy as to the cold rain of alienation. BTW is a book that could be as big as Bright Lights, Big City with the same general framework of a sharply experimental novel that yet can boast a big heart, a joke on every page, an overwhelming city magnificently delineated, and a handful of fascinating and all too real characters.--Kevin Killian, author of Spread Eagle and Impossible Princess “It's like Kobek keyed into John Kennedy Toole's lost biorhythm and resurrected it amid the cosmopolitan absurdities of Los Angeles. Between Tabitha Brown, Khadija, the Butterfed Behemoth and the legendary Mehmet, BTW adds up to a funny and hyper-literate look at failing relationships.”--Ken Baumann, star of the television show The Secret Life of the American Teenager Jarett Kobek is an American author and essayist living in California.
