By learning to adapt and make intentional choices, older adults can experience greater purpose, joy, personal growth, and improved cognitive function. Challenging your brain with new things is one of the most important components of brain health. Life planning is about being intentional. It's about looking at yourself, your values, strengths, motivations, unrealized dreams, and asking, "What do I want to do with this one precious life, or what's left of it?" "What kind of legacy do I want to leave?" Planning isn't boxing yourself in, it's about opening to possibilities and protecting yourself. You will inevitably make worse choices in a crisis. We internalize ageism and it colors the stories we tell ourselves about aging, about ourselves and others. The best defense against the “army of D's” (disease dependence, decline, dementia, death) is awareness of internalized ageist narratives.
Today on the Conversation, we're re-airing a selection of interviews that focus on World War II.

During World War II, most of the fighting was overseas, but there were a few times that the war made its way a little too close to home.

So, you've decided that you want to investigate your family tree and discover what your relatives did during World War II. It's a great idea, of course, because the war is slowly fading from living memory as the last of those who lived and fought through it die off. In another 28 years, it will be a century since the end of the conflict and there will be just scattered survivors left to tell their stories. These word of mouth tales will be no more...

This episode of Big Blend Radio's "Military Monday" Show airs live from Lubbock, Texas and features award-winning military historian and author Mike Guardia, who discusses the Normandy Landings, the landing operations and associated airborne operations on Tuesday, June 6, 1944 of the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during World War II. Codenamed Operation Neptune and often referred to as D-Day, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history. The operation began the liberation of France (and later western Europe) and laid the foundations of the Allied victory on the Western Front. Along with many other military history books, Mike is the author of the widely acclaimed biography “Hal Moore: A Soldier Once…and Always,” that chronicles the life of LTG Harold G. Moore, whose battlefield leadership was popularized by the film “We Were Soldiers,” starring Mel Gibson. His latest book is, “The Combat Diaries: True Stories from the Frontlines of World War II.” This book features a collection of eighteen true stories from veterans who served on the frontlines in World War II...on land, on sea, and in the air. Mike Guardia appears on Big Blend Radio's military history shows every 1st Monday. Featured music on this show is “Tokyo Rose” by Riot Act.
Inventing Secularism: The Radical Life of George Jacob Holyoake (McFarland, 2021), by Ray Argyle is the first modern biography of the founder of Secularism, describing a transformative figure whose controversial and conflict-filled life helped shape the modern world. Jailed for atheism and disowned by his family, Holyoake came out of an English prison at the age of 25 determined to bring an end to religion's control over daily life. Ever on the front lines of social reform, Holyoake has been hailed for having won “the freedoms we take for granted today.” With Secularism again under siege, Argyle argues that Holyoake's vision of a “virtuous society” rings today with renewed clarity. Ray Argyle is the author of eleven books, including five biographies, three political histories, a memoir, and a novel of Victorian Canada. He's worked as a journalist, a publishing executive, and a communications consultant, with articles appearing in Canada's major newspapers, as well as magazines such as Reader's Digest, France Today, and World War II History. Having grown up in British Columbia, he is now based in Canada's province of Ontario.

In honor of Women's History Month, Devin and Lauren highlight a Pomeroy marker in Tioga County and tell the story of Corporal Margaret Hastings, a member of the Women's Army Corps who survived 47 days in a New Guinea jungle during World War II. Marker of Focus: World War II, Owego, Tioga County Guests: Mitchell Zuckoff, author of Lost in Shangri-La; Emma Sedore, Tioga County historian A New York Minute In History is a production of the New York State Museum, WAMC, and Archivist Media, with support from the William G.

Bellafaire PBS Learning Media: Corporal Margaret Hastings Follow Along Devin: Welcome to A New York Minute in History. I'm Devin Lander, the New York state historian. Lauren: And I'm Lauren Roberts, the historian for Saratoga County. In honor of Women's History Month, we have a fascinating account for you that includes tragedy, survival, ingenuity and an amazing plan of rescue. We begin the story in the village of Owego, which is located in Tioga County, in the Southern Tier region of New York. The William G. Pomeroy historic marker is located in front of 106 McMaster Street, and the text reads: “World War II. Home of Shangri-La WAC, Corporal Margaret J. Hastings, who survived 47 days in New Guinea jungle after May 13, 1945 plane crash. William G. Pomeroy Foundation, 2016.” So there's quite a lot to unpack from those few lines of text. But let's start at the beginning. The sign is marking the former home of Corporal Margaret Hastings, so who was she? We spoke with Tioga County Historian Emma Sedore, who told us a little bit more about what Margaret's life was like growing up in Owego. Emma: One day at the museum,

The nation of Morocco, which recently established closer diplomatic and economic ties with Israel and began welcoming direct Israir and El Al flights in Marrakech in July in accordance with a pact the two nations signed last year as part of the Abraham Accords, looks poised to take the next big step in the strengthening of its ties with the West. Morocco World News reported on September 26 on the plans that Simon Morrish, the founder and CEO of Xlinks, has been developing to construct the longest power cable in the world, extending 3,800 kilometers underwater from wind and solar energy generators in the Guelmin Oued-Noun region roughly in the middle of Morocco to the U.K., where, Morrish claims, it will provide power to perhaps seven million homes.The tiny Central Pacific island nation of Nauru, which has roughly 12,000 residents and no official capital, has long been a dumping ground for refugees seeking entry to Australia. Now, as the Guardian has reported in its edition of September 24, Australia has reached a deal with Nauru for the indefinite prolongation of the detention center, where conditions are reportedly ghastly and human rights abuses abound.Some companies just can't stay out of trouble. Evan Symon's September 25 report in the California Globe details how the Shasta County District Attorney's office has charged PG&E with 11 felonies, including four counts of manslaughter, in the aftermath of the catastrophe known as the Zogg Fire. PG&E only just emerged from bankruptcy resulting from having to pay $13.5 billion to the victims of a 2018 fire, and that is but one of the higher-profile legal troubles to have beset the utility in recent years.Sometimes tales of heroism are absurdly inflated. At other times, the sacrifices of past generations can come to seem all the more awe-inspiring when you realize just how inadequate were the resources entrusted to them given the challenges they faced. Jon Diamond's article in the October 2021 issue of World War II History magazine, “Two Battles at Singapore's Bukit Timah,” situates the reader in a time in place, Singapore in the early months of 1942, when desperate British, Australian, Dutch, and Indian troops tried to block the lightning moves of the Japanese army down the Malay peninsula and into Singapore, which ultimately fell to the forces of the wily and ruthless Lieutenant General Tomoyuki Yamashita on February 15, 1942, but not without a fight.

When President Biden proclaimed recently that “unions built the middle class,” he was repeating one of unions' biggest myths. Although unions--like a hitchiker--were along for the ride, they were not the driving force that built the middle class. In this episode of Union Free Radio, host Peter List dispels the union myth that “unions built the middle class,” by giving listeners the logic, and the data, that proves the myth false. “You know,” List states, “the bad part about blindly accepting a myth like this is that it gives unions a free pass in order to push bad bills, like the poisonous PRO Act.” Articles and sources cited: Union Myth Buster: WWII, NOT Unions, Built The Middle Class Ken Braun: Big Labor didn't build the middle class Great Myths of the Great Depression (PDF) FDR's Folly: How Roosevelt and His New Deal Prolonged the Great Depression Casualties of World War II | History of Western Civilization II Middle Class Definition Middle-Class Income: What Is It?

Tony D'Arpino War As My Father's Tank Battalion Knew It is at a crossroads, perhaps not as complex as the intersection between time and space, but rather the intersection between stagnation and growth. Please give it a comment or a review wherever you listen to podcasts, be it spotify, gaana, audible, itunes or its host, libsyn. That will help attract new listeners and help the podcast grow. Today's episode is excerpted from my interview with Tony D'Arpino. Tony was a tank driver in C Company, but he was way more than that. He was a husband, a father, a storyteller, and a fixture at reunions of the 712th. He is featured in my audiobook The Tanker Tapes, and also in Once Upon a Tank in the Battle of the Bulge.

Game on! Blow on those dice, spend 30 minutes setting up that elaborate game board, and get ready to raise your glasses to Tabletop games -- either a great way to socialize, or the way to end friendships, as we discover in this episode. All in honor of International Tabletop Day, which is April 30th. Listen/subscribe/leave a review on iTunes, Google Play Music, Stitcher, Overcast, or podcatcher of choice! Find us on Snapchat | Twitter | Facebook! This episode's wine: 2014 Jigsaw Pinot Noir, Oregon This episode's cheese: Aged Reserve White Cheddar Find out a little bit of history behind International Tabletop Day, from GeekandSundry.com, which is also the home of Wil Wheaton's show "Tabletop." Emily talks about the benefits of playing games for children and adults, and why she and her friends are no longer allowed to play Monopoly. Despite the popularity of video games, board games continue to rise in popularity. One reason games continue to be popular is the rise in crowdfunding games, such as one of our favorites, Scrimish, which you can win a copy of by going to classylittlepodcast.com/giveaway. Want to find out more about Scrimish? Check out inventor Danny Zondervan's video explaining game play over on the Kickstarter page. (Emily and her husband, Mark, are proud to say they helped Kickstart this campaign!) James, despite hating the game, talks about some of the history of Monopoly, including the real story behind the invention of it. Fun Fact: You cannot use the game board as a map around Atlantic City. We also want to go to the landfill to find buried copies of Anti-Monopoly. Also, what were some of your house rules you had while playing Monopoly? Let us know! Although James says Monopoly takes too long to play, Emily tells him how it's possible to play the game in 21 seconds. We also talk about the updates made to game, including changing cash to credit cards. Even though Monopoly may be responsible for the loss of friendship, the game was responsible for helping British prisoners of war escape during World War II. Emily freaks herself out researching Ouija boards, and she finds out the history, some precursors, and why mediums were more upset about Ouija boards at first than the church. Find out the reason for the Ouija board's name, how it was awarded a patent, and some of the other talking boards in existence. So, what makes the Ouija board work? It seems plausible that it could be spirits ... until you blindfold users. Watch on YouTube. We find out James' poo story, and you can hear more about poop stories from Off in the Weeds. James gives us a game, Board Game or Racehorse? This is a tough, tough game, by the way! Emily even calls on Kitty to help her out. She even just starts guessing categories other than game or racehorse for a few of them. Because of this game, we decide we want to play Hey, That's My Fish! Find out what porn and polio has to do with Candyland. And we finally found a topic in which James really couldn't find any large corporations to judge this week! By the way, the Drunk History episode James refers to can be watched on CC.com. But James does talk a bit about Milton Bradley and some of the innovations he brought to America. And get the inside info on why we're an Explicit podcast. (It's James' fault. Clearly.) Apparently, we'll be planning a field trip to Springfield, Mass. Emily gives a few fun facts about Scrabble, including a terrible French/Spanish/Gibberish pronunciation of the International Federation of Scrabble! Thanks for your patience while Emily was feeling under the weather this week -- we tried to get this episode out as soon as possible. Actually, a HUGE thank you to her husband, Mark, who did a majority of editing for her while she had fever dreams that her cat was telepathically sending her a ideas for a book he wants to write.
