"But I think it's the double edged sword because while it allows me freedom to be able to dedicate the time that I that I have fully to the research and to the work on the project that we're doing, it also puts a lot of pressure because I have that time to be productive to actually be productive. If I have all this time, I have to deliver, I have to produce. If other people who have full-time jobs are capable of doing all these things on the side, I have all this time I have to be able to do it as well. And that is just a lot of pressure. So I sort of treat it like a 9 to 5. Sometimes I tease Natalie because I say this is so unfair. I feel like I work more than you do, but I don't really get paid. I don't get a salary for what I do. So I do. I treat it like a 9 to 5 and I try to dedicate as much of my time to the work as possible, whether it's processing data, whether it's administrative work, whether it's writing writing up articles for publication, et cetera, a budgeting or writing proposals. I'm always busy with project work. Well, you get a choice on the next question. I usually ask people, you know, what kind of advice they'd give to other diplomatic spouses who would be interested in pursuing a similar career, but I want to ask, do you have advice for people who are academics, and do you have advice for people who are very location based? I have, I have met a few other EMs that have academic careers that are involved in their field, it just depends what type of field you're involved in and how much work you can do remotely. And I've met several that have succeeded at doing it or are still doing it either they find jobs while they're, you know, that they can work remotely or involve themselves in similar work in the area where they're living. I would say that if you're passionate enough about it and willing to lower your expectations of what you can achieve short term, I think it's possible to maintain that lifestyle. The combined lifestyle. So then what is success is because it's not, as you said, it's not the salary. It's not necessarily the tenure track that a lot of academics are looking for. So what is success for you? I have had to redefine that, I think, as we go along, I think what I envisioned as success ten years ago is different from what I envisioned now. I also tend to set myself short term goals a lot. And I don't project too far into the future. And that may be because I've throughout my life things have changed or shifted. So frequently that I've not been able to do that or I realize it's just not worth it. I'd set myself short term goals. And for now, success for me at this stage where I am now means one to be able to accomplish what I'm doing in regards to this project and be able to publish on the data and make it accessible to other researchers. Having also left a positive impact or impression on the people with the people that I collaborated with, especially in terms of the local population. And the communities that we work with in the field and also the scholars that we work with in Guatemala. Those are for now my short term goals that I what I envision as success for now is publishing the research and leaving a positive impact on the communities that we work with. I like that. For all of you who are out there listening and looking to maybe hook up with other people who are also academics and related to the foreign service, there is a Facebook group called FS academics that has a lot of other aspiring PhDs, current PhDs, and people working in various fields, Mary Jane, do you have any final words for us before we go? It's been really great talking to you. Thank you. No, it was a lot of fun. I rarely get the opportunity to talk in this format about what I do and it gives me perspective. On what's going on and what I'm doing as well. So it was a lot of fun. Thank you. Well, best of luck getting all of your research finished and published and you'll have to let us know when that comes out in a few years or in a few decades.

"So research associate has been sufficient for independent scholar as long as I maintain sort of active presence in the scholarly field participating conferences published on publish the work that we do. And that sort of thing, it's been okay. I've been fortunate in that respect. So at times it is challenging to not have that affiliation, I did actively chose not to pursue an academic position after joining the foreign service because I realized that that definitely would not work out well. I was not be able to maintain my personal life and family if I had to be present in the United States teaching. All the time. And then be in the field when we were not when I was not teaching. So there was a point when I did try for a few years. But when nothing was coming through and I wasn't really excited about teaching. I've always been excited about research, but not so much about the classroom, although I love teaching in the field and labs and things like that. I decided, well, okay, this is not going to work. I can't do it all. So I'm not going to pursue a teaching position. I am highly impressed by your ability to sustain your motivation as an independent scholar. Do you find that the lifestyle of being a diplomatic partner has then allowed you some freedom academically because you don't have to teach in the classroom? Probably not. I think I would have adapted as I often do to everything and I would have found the aspects about it that I was comfortable with that I liked that I enjoyed and I would have probably when I was able to after perhaps some time and some gaining some credibility. Been able to steer the direction of my teaching and to aspects that I would like that I like.

"After I finished my research, my field research. So that's kind of how it all got started. And once I was in Seoul, I was going back to Guatemala whenever I needed to be in the field. But then I was running a lot of the administrative aspect of the project from abroad. And yeah, that's how I got started. And is that how it continues today? You go to Guatemala for field work and then you come home and do the analysis and that kind of thing? It has, although that has us slowed down considerably, we had some pretty heavy years of field research up until 2019, where we were spending one to two months a year in the field, and then I would still travel back every three or four months for, I don't know, a few weeks at a time to be present and also do some of the elaborate because all the artifacts, everything stays in Guatemala, and there's a whole team of people who work there year round, so everything that we extract from the field or that we collect gets analyzed in our laboratory in Guatemala City. And up until 2019, we were having consistent field seasons every year, but then, of course, COVID hit. And we weren't able to go to the field for that year for 2020. And so most of the most of the work was just in the laboratory. And as that progressed and we sort of wrapped up a lot of the different phases of analysis, things slowed down a little bit, and my presence in Guatemala was not required as frequently. And then we moved out to DACA and just the distance and the cost of traveling made it a lot more challenging for me to go as frequently as I was going before.

"And there are many other sites, it just depends on how much time you have and what area you're going to, but if you want to see sort of the classic, and then there's a side of yasha, which is very close. That's similar in the conditions that it is in and what it offers. And then you start getting sites that are a little bit farther away. But those are like the most accessible. Where I work, there is you can't really see what the mounds were like because they're all just mounts covered in forest. Because it's so remote and people don't go there. It would be, I don't want to say your responsible, but it would be difficult to be able to conserve and maintain with such little pressed human presence like visitors and such. I want to ask you some more about that kind of the technical aspects of your work later. But you just told me that this was an interest that you developed growing up with your parents who were taking tourists to these sites and that kind of thing. How does that move from the child of Mary Jane to today's doctor Acuna kind of thing? What's the route that it takes to get there? Oh, a lot of time and patience. I was skeptical about actually following this path as a career when I was still in high school because even then it was sort of already well known that it's a challenging career to follow if you're looking for financial stability. And I also thought maybe I should do environmental studies or something close that would keep me sort of in the area, perhaps, but that would be more stable. But in the end, I decided to start to do to follow a university degree in archeology and I went to the university in Guatemala City.

"They lived here. They built pyramids. They were good at math sort of thing. But then my parents were running tourism company in the early 90s. And we're taking tourists sort of off the beaten path and to remote areas of Guatemala that included a lot of archeological sites. And I went on some of these when I was not in school. And what I saw raised a lot of questions in relation to what I was learning in school about that society. And I realized that there was a lot more to them that we didn't know that we weren't learning. And I was very curious to know more about them. So that's where it started. So how remote are we talking? Are we talking bushwhacking? Four wheel drive, that kind of thing? Yes. At the time, back then, definitely four wheel drive and a lot of hiking. And when we say remote, maybe we should it's really in terms of time and not distance because very short distances could take a lot of time to get to. Your location. So definitely hard to get to places that involved four by four boats or trekking. I know you are still working at sites in the Maya region. Are they are things as remote now? 40 years on or have you experienced kind of development in the region? There's definitely been a lot of development in the region. And so the places that we visited in the 90s are very accessible now. A lot of roads have been paved or opened up into better roads, better dirt roads. And it's just, you know, the tourism has changed. There are operators now that take you in minivans to a lot of these places.

"Mary Jane, thanks for meeting with me today. I invited you here partly because you're a fellow academic and I love talking to other people who are really passionate about a niche subject. But also because you've been able to follow a career that it sounds like you chose as a young person, even though you ended up becoming a diplomatic partner along the way. So I'm really excited to talk to you about your journey. And I want to get started today by asking you a few quick questions to get to know you a little bit more. And to welcome our listeners to meeting you as well. Can you tell me what is it that you do in life? What's your career? Hi, Lauren. First of all, just want to thank you for having me on your podcast. I am an archeologist. So I do research on the ancient Maya who lived in the area of southern Mexico, Guatemala Belize part of Honduras and El Salvador. And I have been directing a research project there for the last 9 years now. So this question is going to maybe be a bit of a give me then because it may be that your career is the most impractical thing that you carry around the world with you. But what is the most impractical thing that you carry around the world with you? I hadn't thought about that, but you're absolutely correct. Otherwise, other from that, it would be our the treadmill. Oh no, that is a big thing. I'm guessing running is important to you then. Yes. I do like to run and I pretty much can run anywhere, but where we currently live has been more challenging than other places. Due to air pollution. Ah, okay, so I guess then where are you currently? And who do you have there with you?

"You go. You're allowed to speak on the phone now. It was expected. Mister Payne, who's believed slightly older than I am, I'm interested in your thoughts. Yeah, I had the same reaction when I heard that. I think it was expected to be done through osmosis. So yeah, I mean, driving a car is something that you are like sat down in the driver's seat and you're taught. Here's how you do it. Please don't embarrass yourself at the driver's test. Let's drive around the parking lot of this mall until you can be trusted not to hit someone. So yeah, I think it's a little different. Like I clearly remember learning how to drive, but don't remember phone training. But maybe that's like something I was missing. Maybe both of us, we just weren't trained how to use the phone. And it's led to many problems down the line. That's exactly right. Speaking of that, I gotta ask you which do you find to be scarier, you know, scary and perhaps in quotes, the inbound call that is you have to pick it up or the outbound call where you have to talk with somebody and they're the ones who have to pick it up. That's a good question. Is the inbound call something that I know is going to happen ahead of time or is it something that happens like spur the moment, like I'm just kind of sitting in my own business and someone calls me. It's not something that you know is going to happen beforehand. Then that type of inbound call is better just because I don't have time to psych myself out or whatever, but if I know someone is going to call me like ahead of time we planned on it and they'll be like, I'll call you at 2 p.m. or something like that. I will start to feel anxious at like one 45, but I think if someone cold calls and I don't know it's coming, it's more of like a reaction. I'm not thinking interestingly, we did get Mary Jane cops to tell us.

"Different but again. That's not going to be the case with everybody. The is my experience. Because i did grow up in an environment. Where and i think. I really touched on these in yesterday's episode. When i talked about how mary jane will searching for the love. Love her parents head. And how i was kind of love. My parents didn't hand but somehow always ended up in the same county relationship. My parents my dad was abusive. I ended up in a relationship with physically and emotionally unavailable. I ended up in relationships with men who were physically and emotionally unavailable. That my dad was. Everything's mainland. i was a dentist air. But certainly in the first major break my heart when i watched him abused my mom or neglect us. I think i unconsciously learn that this is what love looks like. So i was desperately work while i desperately working to not fall into the trap. Them online failed into pudding. cleaning amount and then come begging get love bombed and she let him come back again. I was desperately trying not to into that trap. But i mean i even remember saying i'm never going to let a man treat me that way. I fail right. Is it the arms of a man that treated me that way. And i think it's because it was familiar to me. It was all i knew. Though i mirrored the love that i had The partners. I was trying to look like my dad. They had the same characteristics. Any behavior as my dad. So i was drawn to that because i had not done my healing worth. My dad was also emotionally unavailable and physically unavailable. There were times when he wasn't and it's funny. Because just about all of the good memories that i have are at thanks examples of this times when he wasn't emotionally or physically unavailable my dad. I don't recall my dad. Giving me a lot of hugs. I remember kissing my parents. Good night before bed for a long period of time. When i was little but also that's kind of like i know something that they instituted designed to make this up on my own but even still felt like it was something where i was initiating that you know what i mean but other than that i don't remember my dad giving me a lot of hud's and things and that's something that i really like. I really like yourself with the proverbial masking. Kate didn't miraculously happen the moment he became an adult more likely than non.

This was the best is only six hundred dollars and payment plans are available so i am going to leave the link. This is the circle to show that these episodes so now today we are continuing our conversation on jane all of the show being mary jane the over the last few days of talked about behavior in a characteristic of her territory we talk about our cave mask kryptonite and a yesterday's the natty and i share how mary jane paul has shown up in allies in how she still sometimes shows though nettie shared as she showed the barra live in an era in the area of perfectionism wrote and i share how she often shows up in my will match relationships or the lack thereof. Those are that we are taking a closer look egg. Mary mary jane's relationship world. She had quite a few relationships rose relationship woes. But yeah we're going to take a book. Take a deeper into that today. And the reason why. I want to take a closer look or a deeper dive into early shit. World is because i've heard a number of women myself included are asking the question why they're constantly attracting emotionally on the bailable me while they're constantly attracting abusive. Men are sixty me men who she me and who don't consistently choose them would bishen and the list goes along you fill in the blank. Whatever your stories. But i have hurt women accident so i think it's definitely worth examining why we feel like we are attracting of me in our in our lives. Though and yesterday's. I really talked about how mary jane and and her father have a pretty good relationship in how one of his greatest desires is for her to finally love like cheese and her mother. So i was thinking. Perhaps that is why mary jane constantly buying in these volatile relationship. Maybe she's so busy trying to find that perfect love that love parents hit until she's li- let me try him and let me try him and show him. Maybe that was the case or maybe mary jane. Has i heal trauma that she hasn't hasn't dealt with. Yeah so. I personally am leaning more towards the unhealed trauma because i really do believe that we attract even when it comes to african ships. I feel like we tracked the we attract type of people that are cached the characteristics and behaviors of any type of trauma. That has happened in our lives. And that's not just romantic relationships. As that's what tonic as well. I've certainly experienced dysfunctional functional ratio. So i think those hugh places in a unconsciously causes us to attract unhealthy dysfunctional volatile. Whatever you wanna call it. I think it causes us to attract those type of relationships agree or disagree that i'm kind of somewhere in the middle right now. I i have a hard time. I'm not saying. I don't see the point or necessarily even disagree. But it may be because it's painful for me. I have a hard time thinking that even unconsciously i am bringing more trauma ransomware life in the form of people who would ultimately mistreat me. That's just a triggering thought. It's all statistical. i'd like you. I've had a more than a few relationships in not just romantic when square. Yeah they were. They were dysfunctional. It was they were painful for me and all of that and and i. It's still a delicate place for me. Now.

"Performer in the manipulator and the manipulators is that that's a really loaded concept. I'm going to just submit that. The perfectionist mask is every bit as loaded as the manipulator. I think and this is cut and this is not to. This is not a da on anyone. And please don't feel. I asked you not to feel some type of way because i'm saying these things because i am a. I am recovering. Perfectionists but last year or the year before. I can't remember which season was i mentioned on one of our episodes that i believe perfectionism this is in from from white supremacy all. Yeah you did say that. Yeah and my goodness. If you can't see that laid out to the tea with mary jane she's doing all like you said she did everything. Airports fright right to whom right to who standards writer apparent standards. Okay where they get the standard from what did she. She went and she got this job. She's making the certain amount of money. She is dressing the certain kind of way. She's driving the certain kind of car. She's living this certain kind of life that is supposedly perfect. All the while do even know That's even that her job is even the thing that that fulfils the most. That's really what she would have wanted to do that. She'd had young. She really had her way about it. What she news anchor. We don't know right. I think just from my own life. And how much pressure i felt i was under to achieve to over achieve and to be perfect just so i could be seen as maybe halfway decent or halfway acceptable in a band world. That is one of the great tragedies for black women. i think because my goodness if you don't have that poll of perfectionism tugging at you. There are a lot of things that you aren't wanted you to harm yourself. You might not be a manipulator. You might not be trying to control. Maybe you might not be hurt switching at work. You might not be doing any of all the other things that we've already success because this is about. I gotta do this stuff so that i look presentable or i look good like it. I mean good like not like oh girl you look good good like my value is good. I'm like you said the good girl. And it i tell you i think the more i think about it especially like the way that i personally be. It brings tears to my eyes. It's so harmful and it is so pervasive there are tons of a people out there not just black people in general still on this perfectionism kick like i got to where i am because i'm affectionate visited and they don't see. We have been sold a bill of goods. I'm really not kidding and this yet this. This is a hill. That i'm willing to die out like we have been sold a bill of goods. It is harmful because in at the end of the day. You're just left with a shell of all the stuff around you. That is supposed to need something. But it doesn't. That's why she says. I did all the things right. What if i got to show for it. Yep it's it's there's a lot at so i it seems like on the circles like you know she's now she's a perfectionist and and she rescues her family and yes. It's going to be heavy. But you know but i think it's every bit as heavy as as as hassle previous previous topic that we won't. Yeah i agree. And that's why so important for us to peel back the layers because when we think about perfectionism oftentimes meeting or it's not a big deal was you know what's wrong perfection but not even looking adorning yourself with the proverbial masking cape didn't miraculously happen the moment. He became an adult more likely than not. There's a history of trauma dating back to childhood. Let you feeling rejected abandoned but trite angry. Those emotions don't automatically resolve themselves as a little black girl. The thing you need it the most was to be seeing heard nurtured protected and love without conditions when those needs or you. Don't get the skills needed to do life as the real you from an emotionally if you.

"She was posting those affirmations in her mirror to remind her staff busey eve. Because she out she was always so all up in the chaos of everybody else's like i feel like it was easy for her to forget who she again. I did see that we're going to be talking about in the first six weeks of the circle be talking about. I did not but yeah. I think that's what i relate to her because i do that too. Especially when it comes to my family which i don't have a lot of siblings left now so i don't do that now but i did often find myself doing things and being the things the people to sometimes i finley lose myself in their stuff and there were times where i remind myself I am when i do that a little bit now with my children but i'm getting better but it when it comes to them but because it's so easy to get caught up in other people stop and ours is always taking. The back bar is really really easy to who you are angry. I feel like you just merged into this new person in so mary. Jane was always posting positive affirmation. And i think she was on. That should remind herself of who who she year so anyway. What else do we know about mary. Cheney oh her parents her family so her mom was dying of lupus. her on has made peace with. I don't think he relied on her. Fill those did. She had an unemployed brother and of course we see her. Knee was pregnant with her second child. She already had one child. She's pregnant with her second child at a very young age and she's not married and mary. Jane's about that even her judgment. She's still shot supporter. She gives a lectures and she looks at it with shaved. Luke's but you don't feel support. Because with nece- i feel like there were times where i don't feel like i know there were times where she would say no to doing a thing but because mary jane is so successful she's gone rear where she's got his got. This beautiful wayne even talk about her relationship. We'll get to that later. But anyway she got all this stuff. And i feel like because she felt she she had it air all i think she often go guilty and so she would end up. Caving in to me seems wants and desires even when you've already said no and still gear and like her love life. Young de relationship status on facebook is complicated. that's mary jane like a real and as classy as mary. Jane was with her fancy wardrobe in her raya. Bottom soons and all the dings mary. Jane was also the girl who will take a big hall. Bath working long hours Take a quick whole bath. So she'd go get a quickie version. Go home On her religious now. We're gonna big alluded deeper into that. We continue on keeping an unmasking her. So i think her capeeze in like i say we'll let you can tell me if you agree just based on what you know about her. I think she's the rest. I think our cape is the rest were because if you show you'll see where no matter. What happens when somebody will want her siblings or her. Mom messes up or even her friends. Mess up chief oops in even though she might be a little hesitant about it but she swoop standard. She's all year to seibu. She saves the day. I think her mask is the burden of perfectionism. Because if you look at her life marriage. I did not get where she is by settling for mediocrity just like cookie olivia analyst. She pushes herself beyond capacity and not just beyond capacity but beyond capacity where everything has to be just right. It can't be good enough. It has to be just right. Has it has to be from her career. She's always five inches. Climb the ladder because nothing is ever enough. So she's constantly climbing only striving to climb the ladder. She's got a picture perfect house. She got dream career. Mediocrity is not enough her love life she wants it the perfect relationship but i think her love life is the only area she often settled for mediocrity like i say his complex is complicated familiar. But doesn't it love. Life is complicated to stay beliefs but Mary jane wants at all. She wants the perfect career she wants to. Cash wants to relationships was the perfect life. Everything has to be pitcher perfect. I remember in one of the early episodes when she was talking to ira her best friend she said. I forgot what what was but distant. Misfit stood out to me because she said she said i did everything right issues. Compiler about slumping in a male female relationships where she said i did everything right. I did everything right. And what do. I have to show or being a good girl. And that's why you stood out to me because she said girl. Because i feel like we're always striving a good girl. That's why i remember that when she said that because the word the girl just like Girl even when i think about it now i think about saying that's how children when they will be a good girl in a grow up thinking if i don't do the dan i'm no longer a good girl. We gonna talk about that some more to ya 'cause that A lot to unpack so yeah. Imagine all of that. She has all these things and she's still not happy because she's not airports would curve. But yeah so that's never jank clearly. Jane did not get the memo. That the opposite of mediocrity is not perfectionism ashton. lots perfectionism. but we've been led to believe that it is his things. Mary jane like i love her. And i think that most likely a lot of black women relate shahar from her. Love lied to her career. I think we all travel down some of the same packs that that been run. And we all want. I know for me. I was ruined for marriage really rooting hard to finally do differently. Because i feel like it. Mary jane doug like bitterly. There is hope or show is really really like mary day. Do it individually denied somewhat happy ending but yeah i think all black can delay can relate to mary. Jane story is we all we all want it all and we all want art beach. You know what i'm saying. What about you that. You'd like to marry chain Yes sir can i. What's really interesting to me is seeing just how opposite of analysts that mary jane is because mary. Jane is not manipulator. she is not the. I'll do whatever. I need to do to control my environment to control the people around me. She is the one that basin as being manipulated by. I don't really wanna do this stuff. But my family is gonna be mad at me if i don't and they don't have much. I've got everything so i feel guilty. They know that they can. They can exploit that and that is that is manipulation. So that was one. That's one thing that's that's very interesting. Also this whole like. I know with the previous series with analysts. The the cape in the mask that we were discussing were pretty pretty loaded kate. Zoos pretty loaded cape and mask when we're talking about the.

The Celebration Over, Deb Haaland Now Faces a Long To-Do List at Interior
"When she was confirmed as the first indigenous interior secretary on Monday. Now that the celebration's over He's promised to begin repairing a legacy of broken treaties and abuses committed by the federal government in Indian country. NPR's Kirk Siegler reports on the huge challenges ahead for Secretary Helland. With so much land under federal control. There's an old saying here in the West that the interior secretary has a more direct effect on people's day to day lives than the president. This is multiplied on reservations. In her confirmation hearing, Deb Holland nodded to the fact that the department she now leads was historically a tool of oppression toward tribes. If an indigenous woman from humble beginnings can be confirmed as secretary of the interior Our country holds promise for everyone mending a legacy of broken promises is a priority for many of the 574 federally recognized tribes on the Nez Perce reservation elders like Mary Jane Miles, See Holland as a turning point. It feels like we're moving and we are claiming What we could have done a long time ago. The Nez Perce consider much of the northwest their ancestral land, but through a serious of treaties there, now confined to a small slice of remote Idaho River country. U. S government is supposed to protect that land and it's salmon. But the fish the lifeline for people here along the Clearwater River are nearing extinction due to dams and climate change. Miles. Also points to a legacy of toxic mess is from mining that the tribe had little say over. I think we've noticed that maybe we've been taken, but nationwide, tribal leaders think this might start changing under Holland. The Biden administration is reinstating an Obama era rule requiring consultation. That means any future lands, development or right of way. Projects like a pipeline must be approved first by tribes and Secretary Holland is going to oversee all of that protection of this government relationship is all important to the tribes in Colorado. John Echo Hoggett, The Native American Rights Fund says that relationship is fraught because interior agencies like the Bureau of Indian Affairs have been chronically underfunded. He says. The previous administration also spurned tribal input on major lands, decisions, something he's looking forward to restarting. Well, it would prevent things from happening. You know, happened to us here during the last administration elimination of 85% of the Bears ears National Monument, the Keystone XL pipeline, President Obama formally protected the Bears Ears Monument on Utah land considered sacred to native people. Then the Trump Administration dramatically reduced its boundaries, and there's pressure on the new administration to reinstate or even expand them.

Ah, hiked back on the Nez Perce tribal leaders like Casey Mitchell want Holland's ear on saving the salmon, and he's optimistic. Unlike with previous administrations, there's no learning curve with Secretary Holland. There's always such high turnover within government entities that you know, sometimes that plays as an excuse. And as a government entity, there should not be any excuse for the trust responsibility that you hold to the tribes for the nest purse That trust responsibility is at the heart of a new deal brokered by a Republican congressman to remove four dams on the Snake River just downstream from here. Plan they hope Deb Holland will put in front of the president soon. Kirk Siegler,

"The first thing that i wanna say is while i'm not talking about resolutions. I don't want you to think that in any way shape or form in my san. Don't set goals for yourself for the year. Please set goals for yourself for the year says realistic goals and then says some big goals some big dream big goals right set them and set out to accomplish them but i feel like whenever people use the word where revolution that's because it revolution is on. It's all my tongue. You understand me whenever people talk about resolutions. It just seems like like. It's a firework gets real big and then it fizzles out. We don't wanna firework. We want a longstanding flame. We won a volcano. We want something that's going to last so instead of saying resolution. I just want to encourage everybody to set goals. Make goals and work toward the goals. And don't put too much of a time constraint on the goals just keep chipping away at it and be encouraged and just take your time. Another thing i want to say is that i don't want people to buy into the concept of like hustle culture or like obsessive productivity culture. Just just do your best. You know what. I mean kaz somedays. Your best is gonna look like you accomplish in a lot getting a lot done and then some days doing your best is gonna be you sitting on the couch watching period pieces all day. Which is basically what i did last saturday. And it's okay. It is okay to do absolutely nothing in.

How I Built This
How Sandy Chilewich Built Chilewich
"Some of the most successful brands we've had on the show were incredibly simple ideas that didn't require much capital at all. Stacey Madison and a Sandwich Cart in downtown Boston at the end of the day, she'd cut up leftover pizza toasted in the oven and sell the chips in Baggies for a dollar eventually that became stacy's pita chips Lisa price wanted better skin cream. So she makes the shave butter and essential oils in her kitchen and pack them into baby food jars to sell at flea markets eventually that became Carol's daughter a line of Personal Care Products Kathleen, king baked chocolate chip cookies, and turn those into tate's bake. Shop. All three of these entrepreneurs used their most valuable asset, their own creativity. This was Sandy Chila, which is most valuable asset as well. Back in the late nineteen seventies in New York when the city was filled with struggling artists and squatters living in abandoned apartments, she and a neighbor decided to buy a few pairs of Chinese slippers and die them into different colors. That simple idea turned into a brand called Hugh and eventually they branched out into tights. After Sandy sold you. She launched in a second company called Chile each which is known for selling home products. Especially, place mats made from durable woven vinyl. Sandy grew up outside of New York and came from a family that had been in the leather goods business for generations. She says, she was pretty bad student. She went to Sarah Lawrence College, but ended up dropping out twice. So earn money she painted made sculptures and sold handmade jewelry. WHO's making a little bit from the jewelry one night a simple creative dewey yourself idea changed sandy's life. What happened is, is that emit I met a neighbor of mine in the loft building that I lived in in in New York City. So I'm living in Ohio it was. A factory building everybody was an artist in the building and one woman I who at that time she was an art teacher also doing some art but mostly teaching at her her name was Kathy Moscow or or. Was it Raza Moscow Moscow, Moscow and one evening we were together. We were Khalip tipsy drinking wine and I think we were in her loft and we were looking in her closet shoes and at that time all young downtown women what they would wear every day were cotton canvas shoes that we bought in Chinatown they were black and they were like really thin sole rubber back and that was cheap chic and. Like the flat shoes like flat yeah. Flat Jerry. Only Very Mary Jane's and they were three thousand, ninety, nine cents in Chinatown and we thought I don't know. How we thought this just occurred to us because we're both have our creative. We wondered like, why doesn't anybody make these colors and that night we one of us have clorox I had Ridi- and we bleached out the black it actually came out and we over died them okay and they look pretty great. You just thought we'll make them ourselves or friends or whatever. Yeah. Well, this'll be fun I. Don't know why I think sometimes, you just do it because it's fun to do it. So so we went we got more of them and we died a bunch of them and then we had building meeting in my loft or her loft. I can't remember and we had all the shoes out and everybody in the building they all said Oh, my God, what did you get? These are amazing this. So. Just died Mary Jane's because it seems so simple simple thing. Well, this is a time seriously were things were not available in a lot of colors this was before or around the same time that for the first time get t shirt and twelve colors like canal genes, which was one of the forerunners of this was just a couple of blocks away from us where you would get t-shirts that people would die at home and then sell because you couldn't get it t shirt in a hail teal
The Anthropocene Reviewed
A Brief History of Staphylococcus Aureus
"Years ago. I acquired an infection in my left eye socket caused by the bacteria. Staphylococcus Aureus my vision clouded and then. My eye socket swelled shut and I ended up hospitalized for over a week how I experienced the same infection anytime in history before nineteen forty. I would've likely lost. Not just my I but my life then again I wouldn't have ever lived to acquire orbital so you lights because I would have died of the staph infections I had in childhood. Stella Aureus is not a normal part of the human microbiome but many people perhaps around a third are like me. Nonetheless hosts two colonies of it on our skin or in our nasal passages or in our digestive systems. These colonies are usually harmless but while anyone can get sick with staff those of us who live omitted. Every day are more likely to suffer infections. When I was in the hospital the infectious disease. Doctors made me feel very special. One told me you are colonized by some fascinating Lee. Aggressive Staff He told me I wouldn't believe the petri dishes if I saw them and went on to call my continued existence. A real testament to modern medicine. Which I suppose it is for. People like myself colonized by fascinating. The aggressive bacteria there can be no harkening back wistfully to pass Golden Ages. Because in all those pasts I would be dead in. Nineteen forty one. Boston city hospital reported in eighty two percent fatality rate. For staph infections. I remember as a child hearing phrases like only the strong survive and survival of the fittest and feeling terrified by them. Because I knew I was not fit or strong. I didn't yet know that when humanity protects the frail among us and works to ensure their survival the human project as a whole get stronger failing to understand that has held our species back for Millennia and in fact still does because staff often infects open wounds. It has been especially deadly during war near the beginning of world. War One. The English poet Rupert Brooke Famously wrote if I should die. Think only this of me that there's some corner of a foreign field that is forever. England Brookwood indeed die in the war in the winter of nineteen fifteen but not in some corner of a foreign field but instead on a hospital ship of a bacterial infection by then there were of course. Thousands of doctors treating the war's wounded and ill among them was a seventy one year old. Scottish surgeon Alexander Ogden who decades earlier had discovered and named Staphylococcus Ogden who sported a magnificent moustache throughout his adult. Life was a huge fan of Joseph. Lister WHO's observations about post surgical infection led to the use of carbolic acid and other sterilization techniques these dramatically increased surgical survival rates. In fact after visiting lister and learning from Him Ogden returned to his hospital in Aberdeen and tore down the sign above the operating room that read prepare to meet the God. No would surgery. Be a desperate last ditch effort. It could be safe and clean and survivable. Ogden was so obsessed with listers carbolic acid spray that his students wrote a poem about it. The spray the spray the antiseptic spray. A would shower it morning night and day for every sort of scratch where others would attach a sticking plaster patch. He gave the spray. It's all right but it's no Rupert Brooke. At any rate Ogden had good reason to give the spray. His first wife Mary. Jane had died after childbirth a few years earlier at the age of twenty five. There's no record her cause death but most maternal deaths at the time were caused by postpartum infection often due to staphylococcus aureus and dogs had hundreds of his patients die of post surgical infection so no wonder he was obsessed with antiseptic protocols. Still he wanted to understand not just how to prevent infection but also what precisely was causing it by the late. Eighteen seventies many discoveries were being made by surgeons and researchers about various bacteria and their role in infection but staphylococcus was not identified until Austin lanced a pus filled abscessed leg wound belonging to one James Davidson. Under the microscope. Davidson's abscess was brimming with life. Ogden wrote my delight may be conceived when there were revealed to me beautiful tangles tufts and chains of round organisms in great numbers. Ogden named these tufts and chains staphylococcus from the Greek word for bunches of grapes and they do often look like grape bunches plump and just a little bit oblong and also quite yellowish green. A few years later a German scientist noted that there were in fact several species of staphylococcus and named the one Ogden had found Staphylococcus Aureus or the golden staff but Ogden wasn't content with just seeing the bacteria. Obviously he wrote the first step to be taken was to make sure the organisms found. In Mr Davidson's pus were not there by chance. So he set up a laboratory in the shed behind his house and began trying to grow colonies of staff eventually succeeding by growing them. In the medium of a chicken egg he then injected the bacteria into guinea pigs and wild mice which became violently ill. Ogden also noted that staphylococcus seemed to be quote harmless on the surface despite being quote so deleterious when injected I have also observed this in so far as I am not much bothered by having my skin colonized by Staphylococcus Aureus but find it. Dilatot serious indeed when it starts replicating inside my eye socket. James Davidson by the way went on to live another forty years after his staph infection. Thanks to a thorough deriding and Ogden's liberal use of the spray the spray the antiseptic spray but staphylococcus aureus remained an exceptionally dangerous infection until another Scottish scientist Alexander. Fleming discovered penicillin by accident. Actually one Monday morning in nineteen twenty eight Fleming notice that one of his cultures of Staphylococcus aureus had been contaminated by a fungus penicillin them which seemed to have killed all the STAPH BACTERIA. He remarked allowed. That's funny Fleming. Then used what? He called his mould juice. I wish I were making that up to treat. Couple patients including during his assistance. Sinus infection but mass production of the antibiotic substance secreted by. Penicillin proved very challenging. It wasn't until the late nineteen thirties. That a group of scientists at Oxford began testing their penicillin stocks. I on mice and then in nineteen forty one on a human subject. A policeman named Albert Alexander who'd been cut by shrapnel during a German bombing raid and who was dying of bacterial infections in his case both staphylococcus aureus and streptococcus. The penicillin caused a dramatic improvement in Alexander's condition but the researchers didn't have enough of the drug to save him. The infections returned and Alexander died in April of nineteen forty one. His seven-year-old daughter Sheila ended up in a local orphanage. Scientists began to seek out more productive strains of the mold and eventually found one on a cantaloupe in a Peoria Illinois grocery store that strain eventually became even more productive after being exposed to x rays and ultraviolet radiation. But essentially all penicillin. In the world descends from that mold on that one cantaloupe in Peoria. That's not the astounding thing about the story though the astounding thing is that after scraping off the mold that became the world's supply of penicillin the scientists in question eight the rest of the cantaloupe

Jon Burge and Chicago's Legacy of Police Torture
"A twenty two year old named John. Burge joined the police force in Chicago by the time. He was dismissed in nineteen ninety. Three he in some detectives under him at allegedly tortured more than one hundred people in the nineteen seventies eighties and early nineties. A friend of mine and I were doing a death Penalty case and as part of the motion. We produced a picture of the holding cell bench which was wooden at the time and the client had scratched out on a wooden oak bench. They're torturing me and that's why he gave a confession Mary. Jane classic is a Public Defender in Chicago. She's been an attorney since nineteen seventy-three. Were you seeing your clients who had been roughed up by the police absolutely absolutely I. It's time and it's a disgrace within the criminal justice system. It's been well documented the so called Burj Era Cetera. Like that We have pictures. We had everything. My office always filed multiple motions. Jon Burge and his detectives were known as the midnight crew or Burge's ass kickers federal prosecutors later alleged that the group tortured suspects by beating them suffocating. Them burning them and administering electric shocks. Jon Burge was white most of the suspects or black. A man named Shaheed mean who was incarcerated in an Illinois state. Prison leader testified. That burge held him for hours at police headquarters in Chicago in. Nineteen eighty-five pressuring him to confess. He said that Burge held a revolver against his head. Put one bullet in the cylinder spun it and then pulled the trigger. When it didn't fire burge pulled the trigger two more times. The man refused to confess in so burge pressed a plastic typewriter cover over his face until he became unconscious. Burge repeated the process two more times until the man did confess. Things had gotten so out of control that the Cook County Public Defender's office in Chicago route to the US Attorney General about this systematic torture of black male suspects in order to coerce them to make confessions they had badges and guns and they were very dangerous. There were people who spent twenty five thirty years in the penitentiary on charges that they confess to because they were being tortured and the torture all that much of the torture allegations led back to detective commander Jon Burge and his Group of detectives the full extent of John Burgess. Misconduct become public knowledge until later he was fired. In nineteen ninety-three the continued to collect a pension Cook County. Prosecutors conducted a lengthy investigation. But no one could be charged with torture. The statute of limitations had passed later. Birch was convicted on federal charges of obstruction of justice and perjury. He lied under oath denying that he tortured suspects in two thousand eleven. He was sentenced to four and a half years in prison in two thousand sixteen. This Chicago paid nearly five point. Five million dollars to fifty seven victims who've been tortured by Jon Burge and his so called midnight crew that was an addition to more than one hundred million dollars. The city of Chicago had already paid in reparations. Settlements in legal fees stemming from police abuse. Jon Burge died in Florida in two thousand eighteen back in the height of the Burj era in the Chicago. Police Department long before there were cell phone cameras. There was an African American TV news. Reporter named Brosse and Russ was doing his thing in the midst of all this and a lot of people forget that this is what was going on in the city in terms of the criminal justice system when Russ Ewing was going out and people were turning themselves. In to rush's ewing. He was right in the middle of all this. Grass Ewing showed the police and the people that someone was watching what was going on and filming as he put it. I just did the best I could with what I had.

Disassociated: Christian Longo
"Christian did Michael Longo was married at age nineteen and he was the father of three by the time he was twenty six originally from Michigan and raised as Jehovah's Witness nece Longo did not adapt well to his life as a husband and father his wife Mary Jane Stayed Home with their children while Longo was expected to provide for their family but he quickly turned to a life of crime after getting into trouble for check fraud. Longo took his family on the run in a stolen minivan Dan but after promising to turn over a new leaf he continued to steal and to scam for money the Longo family moved from Michigan to Ohio Ohio to Oregon then their four year old son Zachary and three year old daughter Sadie were found dead in the waters of lint slow the bodies of Mary Jane their infant daughter Madison were recovered. Just days later join us at the quiet end today for the story of a young family destroyed by the evil acts of compulsive liar and manipulator Christian Longo the lives of this young families started out with hopes and aspirations and but ended in tragedy and despair. The only one left to explain what happened was the one who could never be trusted or believed but we can debate causations nations and examined missed opportunities in our efforts to understand these murders of Mary. Jane Zachary Sadie and Madison Long Ago did an Oregon beer for this. I did one of the brewers you really liked. 'cause they make a bunch of wild sales this cascade escape. Bruin and we're going to have some cascade Blueberry Kale. I Spear Deep Reddish Purple Colour Pinkish head. Don't don't see too many for me pink heads now but I'm GonNa have to be honest here and say that I have had this fear and I did enjoy it. I know you have on telling our listeners okay and it's got a nice earthy blueberry aroma a tart. Lou Berry taste a little bit of that earthy funk in there and it's a dry beer with to settle tartness is spear cascade makes it a lot of Nice while Dale's the the problem is rather expensive. They Act Pricey but they're great. Wait for a special occasion for someone you love. That's why we got. It could be more special than have a beer with you. I can't think of anything more special than having. NBA With you here we are see right so we'll open his beers up who had on down to our friends. At the quiet sounds good all right. Follow me down to the quiet end will enjoy the spear and share it of course I we will. We'll share it with ourselves and we'll share with the rest of the folks down here. That's right so on Easter at our story today. I mean I'm going going to say it's a difficult one but there's also a lot to learn from it. It's kind of an amazing remarkable tale through some things to learn very tragic of course firsts so but I think to understand the lives of the family we might need to have some basic background to the beliefs and practices of Jehovah's Witnesses Yeah. I think that helps because that is a the disappointed story. It's a large part so Jehovah's Witnesses was founded in eighteen seventy nine by Pennsylvania businessman named Charles Russell Russell believed the second coming of Christ would occur in nineteen fourteen so Jehovah's Jehovah's Witnesses emphasize the coming into the world they reject blood transfusions because of the New Testament Command to abstain from blood and they don't vote they don't serve in the military they also don't celebrate any traditional Christian holidays and they don't celebrate birthdays. I remember before I started ready learning anything about Jehovah's way back in the beginning of my career. Hilo boy any office and I noticed from his chart that his birthday was the next day so I said to him happy birthday. He looked at me as mothers says we're Jehovah's Witnesses. We don't celebrate birthdays say you can't even say happy birthday. She was research pretty conservative witness. I guess she was very staunch. I don't know it's just hard for kids like that to not be able to celebrate what other kids are celebrating braiding and then they ran into some of those difficulties with interactions with other people and families. That weren't Jehovah's Witnesses. Oh absolutely I mean I think it's difficult perfect for the kids and it was definitely an influence on Christian longos childhood that followed him into adulthood or through so Christian Michael Longo born in nineteen seventy four in Iowa he was adopted as a child by Joseph Longo who married Chris's mother mother joy in the late Seventies. The biologic father divorced his wife Right. They didn't stay together so this year nineteen seventy four was an important one for for Jehovah's Witnesses because many of them expected Armageddon to happen in nineteen seventy five right so nineteen fourteen didn't happen obviously and and they came up with a reason for that not sure what the reason was then when the world didn't end in nineteen seventy five they also said well. We can't predict it exactly okay but the world is going to end so it's hard when you're calling for the end of the world and then that time passes you better come up with some reason right so I think it makes the people very skeptical and rightly so so in the nineteen seventy five terminus which is what some witnesses called the potential event was based on the analysis of Watch Tower Society Biblical experts who said that the year nineteen seventy five would mark the end of guides day of rest so they reason because God could be expected to go back to work once a day of rest was over what was going to happen to end the world could be expected to happen before the end of nineteen seventy five yes. It's a very complicated way that they were figuring that out which I don't think is that relevant to go into just as long as you know that I think you're on board with what would have been going on in the minds of people who were Jehovah's at this time to an extent so Chris was Joyce first trial and joy was a teenager. She was actually a teenage and h bride of an abusive husband according to joy when she was pregnant with her second child Chris's younger brother Justin. Her husband beat her in her abdomen with a chain gene trying to induce an abortion according to a psychologist Dr Steven share who would later evaluate Chris. The violence in his childhood destroyed enjoyed his sense of self worth this meant that after he became an adult Chris sought out the approval of other people in order to maintain his self esteem so Chris lied a and he stole in order to get approval yeah. It just seems like a simplistic explanation for how this guy acted behaved well. I certainly don't think that's the whole story but it's something can't be the whole story now of course not it's never one thing that affects the person or make someone who they are were. Berkshire fingered as well. I don't know if it was that simplistic but that was one of his things that he brought up so join divorced Chris's father when priests was just about four years old then she met Joe Longo in a store where she was working. Joe Was Athletic. He'd been a star wide receiver on the Morningside College football team in Sioux City until he was about ten years old. Chris's family was Roman Catholic in the nineteen eighties. Joe Longo became a district manager for a chain of retail detail stores and then he began to earn a good middle class salary. The family was financially comfortable and Chris got what he needed from his parents and seemed seem to be having a happy childhood at that point yet but then one day some Jehovah's Witnesses knocked on the rondos door joy let them in and she became quickly the interested in the faith so she began attending meetings and one when she went to the meeting she would take Chris in his younger brother along with her so so Chris and his brother became involved field service activity with joy by this I mean that they would spend hours going door to door to try to convert people into to Jehovah's witness religion now. I don't know how big of a thing that is now but it was certainly a big thing where and when I grew up we had Jehovah's Witnesses coming coming to our door at least a couple times a week where you're in a hot spot I we we had them at times but it it wasn't that frequent I did grow up in Michigan not that far actually from where the longos lived that might be it might have been hotspot yeah but you know it was funny is that when my older sister became a teenager she would purposely let the Jehovah's in and give them T- and talk to them just to irritate my mother because when they came by and it was my mother home she would have US hide and draw the curtains because she didn't want to have to talk to them so just kind of become a game when I come home homeschool. If these people were there my sister would be entertaining them until my mom came home from work and then after they finally went home because everyone was polite in front of them. My sister and my mother would have it out. Our would love to hear that discussion. It was kind of fun yeah so Chris it. His brother became involved in this activity and this meant that they would spend hours going door to door Christmas smart and really socially comfortable so it didn't take long before he was a speaker at the meetings and he began talking to people about his faith he really became something of a religious prodigy with his excellent public speaking ability and from the young age of eleven he'd be called up to do a Bible reading into explain Bible verses at their Kingdom Hall which is their Church Right now so Chris had definitely really the gift of Gab yes he could really charm people and convince people of almost anything you could and we'll we'll see as we talk later about uh-huh his crimes how facile he was with his language in how he could talk people out of things into thanks really quite remarkable. Yes yes yes for someone who really didn't even have a high school education right. He did have a gift so eventually stepfather. Joe Longo also joined the witnesses assists and as the Manga family became more involved with the witnesses. Christmas brother began to have very limited contact with children who were not witnesses so that's the problem. It can become very isolating ensure. Can
