In this inspiring episode of Good Dads Great Communities, Dr. Jennifer L. Baker and J. Fotsch speak with two outstanding leaders in rural Missouri: Sean Vanderbeck from the Ava chapter and Jill Garrett from the Texas County chapter. As two of the three winners of the Good Dads Great Communities of the Year Contest, these chapters are recognized for their commitment to fatherhood in small towns often overlooked by larger initiatives. Sean and Jill reflect on their challenges, share their triumphs and describe the creative ways they've engaged dads across their regions. From providing home-cooked meals to building trust through personal connections these leaders showcase how local relationships, accountability and perseverance can spark cultural change. Whether it's organizing parenting classes or rallying church support, the episode offers a heartfelt look at how Good Dads flourishes in tight-knit communities with big hearts and bigger dreams. Episode Highlights [00:28] “They're key figures in their great community. Ava, Missouri won our first place contest … and Texas County won $2,500.” [04:43] “I just noticed that it was always moms that came … and I thought, where are the dads?” [05:20] “We haven't even in our larger communities including Kansas City had that many people show up the first night.” [11:24] “ There was a time when I just wanted to be a good dad … and then the joy that comes from it is nothing compared.” [18:00] “A lot of times people just overlook those challenges … and yet you do. I mean, 29 men showing up—that's something.” [18:48] “By the time church was over, all 16 [weekend meal slots] were full. That got the community behind us.” [27:42] “Even if each home doesn't have a good dad, if you have more good dads they'll mentor those kids.” [29:27] “Every community has people that want to love on others—they're just scared to do it.

The relationship between Britain and China has shaped the modern world. Chinese art, philosophy and science have had a profound effect upon British culture, while the long history of British exploitation is still bitterly remembered in China today. But how has their interaction changed over time?From the early days of the East India Company through the violence of the Opium Wars to present-day disputes over Hong Kong, Kerry Brown charts this turbulent and intriguing relationship in full. Britain has always sought to dominate China economically and politically, while China's ideas and exports—from tea and Chinoiserie to porcelain and silk—have continued to fascinate in the west. But by the later twentieth century, the balance of power began to shift in China's favour, with global consequences. Brown shows how these interactions changed the world order—and argues that an understanding of Britain's relationship with China is now more vital than ever.

In this episode, Jackson talks to Kerry Brown all about his new book 'The Great Reversal: Britain, China and the 400-Year Contest for Power'! Kerry gives us some fascinating insights into the history of the relationship between Britain and China, touching on the Tudors, the East India Company, and the attitudes towards each other today.Grab a copy of The Great Reversal: Britain, China and the 400-Year Contest for PowerKeep up to date with Kerry via his website, or his XIf you want to get in touch with History with Jackson email: jackson@historywithjackson.co.ukPlease support us on our Patreon!To catch up on everything to do with History with Jackson head to www.HistorywithJackson.co.ukFollow us on Facebook at @HistorywithJacksonFollow us on Instagram at @HistorywithJacksonFollow us on X/Twitter at @HistorywJacksonFollow us on TikTok at @HistorywithJackson Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Do you have a special farm dog? This week is the last week to apply your dog for the American Farm Bureau Federation 2024 Farm Dog of the Year Contest. Grace Powell Hello and welcome to Tennessee Home and Farm Radio. I'm Grace Powell. If you have the best farm dog on your farm then listen up. You only have a few more days to register your dog for the American Farm Bureau Federation's 2024 Farm Dog of the Year contest. Chad Smith has more Chad Smith The nomination period for Farm Bureau's 2024 Farm Dog of the Year Contest closes Friday. Denny Ashcraft, Kansas Farm Bureau Member and owner of Tough, the 2023 Farm Dog of the Year, says the contest is a great way to honor working dogs. Denny Ashcraft Well, I think farm dogs are an important part of what people do on a farm, and every farm dog out there has different talents, different purposes, and they fill a big void. So, it's a good opportunity to nominate your dog and hopefully show what they do. Chad Smith Sponsored by Nestlé Purina PetCare, the Farm Dog of the Year will win a year's worth of Purina Pro-Plan dry dog food and $5,000 in prize money. Ashcraft says there are a variety of traits that make a good farm dog. Denny Ashcraft The original purpose for her was working and handling livestock. Then we started trialing her some, which a dog doesn't necessarily have to be a trial dog to be a good farm dog. Besides the work she does there, she's a great companion. She just likes to be with you. There's a lot of roles that they fill. So, I don't think there's any one thing that makes a great farm dog, for each person that's probably going to be different. Chad Smith Ashcraft encourages others to nominate their dog. Denny Ashcraft We had talked about nominating her for a while, and I suppose we're like everybody else, you think there's a lot of other dogs out there that would probably be a better candidate, but then we decided why not, let's go ahead and take a chance. And we were very surprised when we found out that we'd won. And I would say anybody that's even remotely thinking about entering the contest, go ahead and fill it out and send it in. Grace Powell You have until July 14th to enter your farm dog. For more information head to fb.org/farmdog for Tennessee Home and Farm Radio, I'm Grace Powell.

In this week's episode, we take a look at the mysterious and deceptive world of psychics. Part 1: Rich Tackenberg is skeptical when a psychic tells him there's something wrong with his car. Part 2: Science journalist Katherine J. Wu interviews neuroscientists Susana Martinez-Conde and Stephen Macknik to get a better idea of how psychics, like the one from Rich Tackenberg's story, operate. Rich Tackenberg is: a happily married gadget geek, a new homeowner, an SNL apologist, an Apple fanboy, a recent convert to tea, a dog owner, a recovering people-pleaser, a comedy nerd, an LA resident, a New York native, a snob about disposable pens, and (most importantly) a big fan of lists.  Susana Martinez-Conde and Stephen Macknik are award-winning neuroscientists and professors at the State University of New York, Downstate Medical Center. They are best known for their studies on perception, illusions, and attentional misdirection in stage magic. They produce the annual Best Illusion of the Year Contest, now in its 13th edition, and are the authors of the international bestseller Sleights of Mind: What the Neuroscience of Magic Reveals About Our Everyday Deceptions and Champions of Illusion: The Science Behind Mind-Boggling Images and Mystifying Brain Puzzles.
