Summary

The election process is being carefully watched. From security cameras at county offices to candidates monitoring polling places, there are eyes and ears on alert to ensure the safety of the voting process. But another group plays a key role in ensuring the integrity of the vote: election observers. With less than a week before the 2024 primary election in Arizona, these observers are already at work. They're watching as early ballots are being processed at county election offices. These volunteers are often overlooked on election day, but they are an important part of the voting process. This week on Election Dissection, an elections series of The Gaggle podcast by The Arizona Republic and azcentral.com, hosts Mary Jo Pitzl and Sasha Hupka talk with some people who watch democracy in process. Jeff and Robin Greeson have been observers with the Maricopa County Democratic Party since 2018. They tell Election Dissection how the job really works and lessons they've learned over the past few years. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Talking Tai Chi with the Teapotmonk Paul Alan Read There are those that believe to practise Tai Chi without tradition or without confirmed lineage, is simply a waste of time - or shadow boxing. It is an art that lacks substance like Bean Curd lacks solidity. But Bean Curd Boxers beg to differ. We claim that Bean Curd is the ultimate yielding substance, it maintains its shape and form, and is sold at a fair price.Additionally, it can be superbly crisp when deep fried and absorbs insults like it absorbs flavours. Bean Curd is a fine symbol of the adaptability of 21st Century Tai Chi."Be Like Bean Curd My Friend."Said Bruce Lee. (Well, something like that).At times, all Traditions need waking up. This is the aim of the Bean Curd Boxer, to shake up tradition, challenge all claims of absoluteness and giggle in the face of rigidity and dogma.To find out about the Application of Bean Curd Philosophy to your life... join us at teapotmonk.com The Vibrant Music Teaching Podcast | Proven and practical tips, strategies and ideas for music teachers Nicola Cantan Practical and proven tips, ideas and advice for private music teachers.
