    In April of 2009 four Somali pirates boarded the Maersk Alabama, a US/Danish cargo ship off the coast of Africa, a notorious piracy hotspot. The crew aboard the Alabama did everything they could to keep the pirates from gaining control of the ship, however the pirates still held multiple crew members hostage, including Captain Richard Phillips. After chief engineer, Mike Perry, managed to capture one of the pirates, the crew attempted to negotiate an exchange of hostages. However the failed attempt led to Captain Phillips being held on a lifeboat with the pirates, who demanded a $2 million ransom for his release. The captain's capture resulted in a standoff between the pirates and the US Navy, including Navy SEAL Team Six.

    Making Impact Products Affordable: "So we had margins that were acceptable in retail and that enabled us to reduce the margins to get those lights and power banks to people that needed them at localized pricing" Show Notes WHAT HAPPENED: I'll never forget the time I heard that our solar lanterns helped two warring factions in rural Africa literally bury the hatchet. They were both receiving our lights through an NGO, and suddenly, they were doing business together. That's not a metaphor. That's real. Or the 10-year-old from the South Side of Chicago who handed out tens of thousands of “blessing bags” with our lights to the homeless—just because he believed no one should be left in the dark. That kind of story? It wrecks you—in the best way. We built a business from the ground up, armed with 25 patents, a “why not both?” mindset of profit and purpose, and a deep belief that a single light could spark something bigger. PRINCIPLE: You don't need to choose between making money and making a difference. In fact, if you're doing it right, one fuels the other. Too many founders think they have to “wait” until they've made it to give back. That impact comes after the profit. Nope. Real impact is baked in from day one. When your mission is woven into your product, not just your marketing, you don't need to convince people—it resonates on its own. TRANSITION (external problem): But here's the kicker: a lot of us get stuck playing small because we think impact means complexity. Or we're waiting for the “right” time, the perfect investor, the green light. And while we're waiting, other people are slapping together knockoff versions of our ideas and flooding the market with cheap stuff. Sound familiar? We think we need permission to start building something that truly helps people. THAT'S WHY: That's why I sat down with John Inger on this week's episode of the Outdoor Adventure Lifestyle Podcast—because his story is proof that doing good and doing well isn't an either/or. This isn't just about lights and patents. It's about building trust, leading with purpose, and designing products that matter—even if you're just a team of 25 going up against big-budget giants. CALL TO ACTION: If you're tired of building things that look good but don't do good, this episode will remind you why you started. Tune in now and rediscover how the smallest product can spark massive change.

    Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, we cover violent new attacks on ICE agents in Chicago and Portland, Trump's plan to federalize National Guard units, the shutdown of apps used to track ICE officers, a cash offer to illegal immigrants, a shocking Virginia political scandal, and global updates from Greenland to Ukraine, the UK, Gaza, and Africa. Quick hits to launch your week with the facts shaping America and the world.   Violent Weekend on the Immigration Front: Radical activists in Chicago used phone apps to track ICE agents, boxed them in with ten cars, and rammed a federal vehicle. When the lead agitator, Marimar Martínez, brandished a gun, ICE agents fired back, lightly injuring her. Chicago police refused to assist, with supervisors citing sanctuary city laws. Trump responded by federalizing 300 Illinois National Guardsmen, saying, “If the governor won't protect federal officers, I will.”   Portland Judge Blocks Federal Guard Deployment: After months of violence and arson targeting federal buildings, Oregon's Judge Karin Immergut refused to let Trump deploy 200 Oregon Guardsmen. The White House will instead send California troops. City council member Angelita Morillo, an admitted Marxist, has been helping activists buy burner phones to coordinate attacks.   Apple and Google Drop Anti-ICE Apps: Following a Trump DOJ order, Apple and Google removed apps used to crowdsource ICE agent locations. Developers and activists called the move authoritarian, but DHS pointed to the weekend's attempted murder of ICE officers as proof the apps “facilitate organized violence, not free speech.”   Trump Expands “Pay to Leave” Immigration Program: Migrants aged 14 to 17 who entered illegally will now be offered $2,500 and a plane ticket home. Critics say the policy “coerces” children, but Trump argues it's cheaper and safer than detaining or deporting them. Reuters reports Guatemalan parents still refuse to take their kids back, preferring they keep working in the U.S.   Virginia Democrat Calls for Murder of GOP Speaker and Children: Attorney General candidate Jay Jones faces backlash for texting that Republican House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his two young children “should be shot.” Fellow Democrat Abigail Spanberger defended him, saying, “Let those without sin cast the first stone.” Bryan warns, “The Left is openly dehumanizing children now — what happens when words become policy?”   Greenland's Rare Earth Deal with the U.S.: The Trump administration is negotiating an investment partnership with Greenland's Critical Metals Corp to secure rare earth minerals and limit Chinese control. Bryan calls it “the front line of America's Mineral Wars.”   China Feeding Intel to Russia in Ukraine: Beijing is providing targeting data that includes U.S.-owned facilities, dragging out the conflict to drain American stockpiles.   UK Scandal Over Chinese Spies: British PM Keir Starmer quashed espionage charges against two Chinese-linked researchers by refusing to label China an “enemy.” Bryan warns it's time to “pull the plug on Five Eyes intel sharing” until the UK gets serious about national security.   Trump's Gaza Peace Plan and Netanyahu's Pressure: Envoy Steve Witcoff and Jared Kushner head to Cairo to finalize a deal requiring Hamas to disarm or face “complete obliteration.” Netanyahu faces backlash from his coalition, which could collapse if Hamas keeps any political power.   Nigeria's Christian Genocide Expands: Islamist militants from Boko Haram and ISIS killed hundreds in northern Nigeria, driving thousands into Cameroon. Bryan warns Biden's CIA may be indirectly aiding jihadists to attack Russian and Chinese targets.   Medical News — Parkinson's and Back Pain Relief: South Korean researchers linked tooth bacteria to Parkinson's risk, while a German cannabis extract eased chronic back pain. Bryan reminds listeners, “Keep brushing and walking — the mind and body are more connected than we realize.”   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Chicago ICE attack Marimar Martínez, Trump federalizes Illinois National Guard, Chicago police sanctuary policy, Portland Judge Karin Immergut National Guard, Angelita Morillo Marxist burner phones, Apple Google anti-ICE apps removed, Trump migrant cash offer $2,500, Jay Jones Virginia AG murder text, Abigail Spanberger rage fuel comments, Greenland rare earth minerals Critical Metals Corp, China intel to Russia Ukraine war, Keir Starmer Chinese spies case UK, Trump Gaza peace plan Hamas disarmament, Nigeria Christian genocide Boko Haram ISIS, Parkinson's oral bacteria South Korea, German cannabis chronic back pain

    A genocidal militia called the Rapid Support Forces has been laying siege to the city of El Fasher, in Darfur, for nearly 500 days. But in recent weeks, the situation has grown far worse. Some 250,000 people are now trapped in the city and are enduring relentless bombardment from drones and artillery. Food is scarce, and an untold number of people are starving to death. To make matters worse, recent moves by the Rapid Support Forces suggest they may be preparing for an all-out assault on the city. This is a pivotal moment in Sudan's civil war, which erupted in April 2023 when two generals—once allies in toppling a civilian-led government—turned their guns on each other, unleashing what is now the world's largest humanitarian crisis. After two and a half years of fighting, the Sudanese Armed Forces control most of the country's east, including Khartoum and a key port city. The Rapid Support Forces, meanwhile, hold much of the west, including resource-rich Darfur—with one critical exception: Darfur's historic capital, El Fasher. Joining me to discuss this precarious moment in Sudan's war and what might finally bring an end to the conflict is Noaman Elwaleed Mousa, a PhD student in political science at the University of California, Los Angeles, who studies civil wars in Africa. We begin with the situation on the ground in El Fasher and the broader significance of this battle for Sudan's future.

Sharp - Own work, from Sharp Photography, sharpphotography.co.uk, CC BY-SA 4.0]: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. It's October at last, and that means monster month! To start us off this year, we're going to learn about animals of the Skeleton Coast, which sounds a lot more spooky than it actually is. The Skeleton Coast is a stretch of coastline 310 miles long, or 500 km, on the Atlantic coast of Africa. It's part of Namibia, a huge country in southern Africa that's mostly quite dry, with two deserts within its borders. Because the country gets so little rainfall, it has to conserve water for its people, animals, and crops, so the government is serious about conservation and natural resources. It's home to one of the most cutting-edge water treatment plants in the world, and since the government's establishment in 1993, it's been working to help farmers and citizens in general to practice sustainable natural resource management. It's also a beautiful part of the world, with amazing geography, and animals and plants found nowhere else in the world, so eco-tourism has been increasing, which helps the economy. Namibia is also home to the San people, who call the Skeleton Coast “the land god made in anger.” The northern part of the coast is blocked off from land by huge sand dunes, while the southern part is rocky. To get there, you have to cross a desert, and then cross a treacherous marsh that's hundreds of miles across. Then to get home, you have to go back the way you came across the marsh and the desert, because launching a boat from the Skeleton Coast is impossible if you don't have a powerful engine. The sea along the Skeleton Coast is treacherous, with lots of rocks offshore, extremely heavy surf, and frequent thick fogs. There are around a thousand shipwrecks visible along the coast, with the oldest dating to the 1530s, and thousands more documented that aren't visible or haven't been found yet. Ships still wreck there sometimes. Animals do live along the Skeleton Coast, especially seals. The brown fur seal, also called the Cape fur seal, has a huge colony in the northern part of the coast, which is a national park. The brown fur seal lives in various parts of southern Africa, with a subspecies that also lives on some islands off southeastern Australia and Tasmania. A big male can grow 7 ½ feet long, or 2.3 meters, and as you can probably guess from its name, it's mostly brown in color. Males have a short mane on the neck that's usually darker than the rest of its fur. It has magnificent long whiskers, especially males. The brown fur seal mainly eats fish, but it also likes squid and will eat other animals like crustaceans and even birds. It can dive deeply and stay underwater for over seven minutes. It spends most of its life in the water, mainly only coming out on land to breed, give birth, and take care of the babies. The seals used to be killed for their fur, but this was outlawed in Namibia in 1990 except by special permit, which has allowed the seals' numbers to increase. The Skeleton Coast is named that mainly because of the massive amounts of seal bones that fur hunters left behind after killing and skinning seals. Unfortunately, something the rocks around the Skeleton Coast collect are plastic debris, especially fishing debris like nets.

    Muslims decapitated or shot 30 Christians in Mozambique, Netanyahu demands release of all 48 hostages in order to end war, MarketWatch: 22 states already in recession

    It's Monday, October 6, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Muslims decapitated or shot 30 Christians in Mozambique, Africa Over 30 Christians were beheaded in a series of recent attacks in northern Mozambique, Africa by Islamic State-affiliated terrorists who also released graphic photographs showing the executions, shootings, and widespread arson, reports The Christian Post. The group targeted multiple villages across Cabo Delgado and Nampula provinces, setting fire to churches and homes in a campaign of violence against civilians. According to The Middle East Media Research Institute, the Islamic State Mozambique group released a 20-image photoset this week, documenting its operatives executing civilians by beheading and close-range gunfire, and burning down homes and churches. The Mozambican insurgency, active since 2017, has led to the deaths of at least 6,200 people. In Deuteronomy 32:35, God says, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time, their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near, and their doom rushes upon them.” The United Nations estimates that more than 1 million people in northern Mozambique have been displaced since the conflict began, due to a combination of militant violence, prolonged drought and extreme weather events. Open Doors ranks Mozambique, Africa as the 37th most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Nigerian Muslims killed kidnapped pastor after receiving ransom Armed Muslim groups in Kwara State, Nigeria killed a local pastor after abducting him and receiving ransom payments from his community, reports International Christian Concern. Rev. James Issa, a pastor with the Evangelical Church Winning All, was taken from Ekati village on August 28.  His abductors initially demanded $67,000. Weeks of negotiations followed, with family members, church leaders, and villagers contributing funds to secure his release.  The community raised $3,300, a sum far beyond the means of the rural community. The money was delivered to the kidnappers, but instead of releasing the pastor, the armed group demanded an additional $30,000. Before any further talks could take place, they killed Rev. Issa.  Netanyahu demands release of all 48 hostages in order to end war On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that no part of U.S. President Donald Trump's peace plan will be enacted until all 48 hostages, alive and dead, are returned to Israeli territory, reports The Jerusalem Post. Additionally, Netanyahu stated that if the hostages are not released by Trump's deadline, "Israel will resume fighting with full backing from all involved countries." However, speaking to Israeli journalist Barak Ravid, President Trump told Netanyahu, “Bibi, this is your chance for victory.”  Currently, there is no set deadline for the hostage release, although negotiations to finalize the plan are set to begin in Cairo, Egypt today. An anonymous source told the Jerusalem Post that (a) Hamas, the Muslim terrorist group, is committed to reaching an agreement to end the war in the Gaza Strip and (b) the release of the hostages will be carried out gradually over several days through the International Red Cross. Secretary of State Marco Rubio appeared on NBC's “Meet the Press” with Kristen Welker. WELKER: “I want to start with these peace negotiations in the Middle East. Is this now the end of the war in Gaza?” RUBIO: “Well, not yet. There's some work remains to be done, and I would view it in two phases, in terms of understanding how to break this out. “The first piece of it, which is very clear from the letter in Hamas' response, is they have agreed to the President's hostage release framework. And what needs to happen now, and they acknowledge in the letter in their response, is there now needs to be meetings which are occurring, even as I speak to you now, and hopefully will be finalized very quickly on the logistics of that. “What that means is, who goes in to get them? Is it the Red Cross? You know, when do they show up? What place are they going to be? And the conditions have to be created for that to happen. You can't have bombs going off and fighting going on in the middle of this exchange. So, that's piece one. And we want to see that happen as soon as possible, all 48 hostages, both living and deceased. “The second part of it, it's even harder, and that is the long term piece. What happens after Israel pulls back to the yellow line, and potentially beyond that, as this thing develops? How do you create this Palestinian technocratic leadership that's not Hamas, that's not terrorists, and with the help of the international community? “How do you disarm any sort of terrorist groups that are going to be building tunnels and conducting attacks against Israel? How do you get them to demobilize? All that work -- that's going to be hard. But that's critical, because without that, you're not going to have lasting peace. You may get the hostages back, you may get a cessation of hostilities, but in the long term, it's going to happen all over again.” Hero Ukrainian soldier kills 27 Russian troops A heroic Ukrainian warrior killed 27 Russian soldiers singlehandedly while defending two bridges surrounded by enemy forces, reports The U.S. Sun. Rus spent over seven weeks crouched in a putrid-smelling basement protecting the crossings -- armed with nothing more than a firearm and pure grit. The valiant soldier has been recommended for the Hero of Ukraine medal, the country's highest military honor, for his brave work. He personally killed 27 Kremlin forces - steadfast in his defense of the crossings in Dopropilia, in Ukraine's Donetsk region. Speaking to The Times, he recalled the grim reality of spending almost two months taking cover in a gloomy basement as Russian drones buzzed overhead.  He could only use the toilet "at dusk or at dawn" over fears of being struck and for seven weeks only washed with baby wipes. First-ever woman becomes Archbishop of Canterbury Sarah Mullally has been chosen as the new Anglican archbishop of Canterbury, marking the first time a woman has been named to the highest ecclesiastical position in the Anglican Church, reports LifeSiteNews.com. In 1 Timothy 2:12, the Apostle Paul wrote, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.” The seat of the archbishop of Canterbury had been vacant since January 7, 2025, when Archbishop Justin Welby resigned due to allegations of mishandling an abuse case involving John Smyth who beat Winchester Boarding School students until they bled, leaving permanent scars. MarketWatch: 22 states already in recession And finally, according to Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, the U.S. economy is very close to falling into a damaging contraction. Many states are already experiencing a recession. Zandi estimates that 22 states, plus the District of Columbia, are now experiencing persistent economic weakness and job losses that are likely to continue. Another 13 states are treading water. The overall picture is one of a weak U.S. economy that is vulnerable to being pushed into a ditch by a strong wind. The economist added, “The economy is still not in recession, but the risks are very high. We're on the precipice.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Monday, October 6th, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Francois talks about the challenges of running remote programs, the dynamics of working as a couple, the importance of versatility as a guide, and the behind-the-scenes work that goes into creating unforgettable guest experiences. They also explore how South African anglers have made such an outsized impact on the global fly fishing community, the differences in client expectations around the world, and what the future looks like for the next generation of destination anglers, explorers, and professional lodge managers.After the success of the 2024 Belize and 2023 Baja Bluegrass events, we're excited to bring the experience back to Belize for 2025.

Born in 1951 in Nyaruguru, he lived through the Kayibanda years, endured exile, trained as a surgeon in France, and then left a comfortable life abroad to join the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) in Uganda. From the battlefields of the liberation war where he treated wounded fighters, to rebuilding Rwanda's shattered health system and leading its biggest hospitals, Dr. Rwamasirabo shares a deeply personal and historical perspective. We talk about exile, sacrifice, state-building, and the lessons of the RPF struggle.

The rise of transatlantic slavery was linked to disease resilience, as many West Africans carried genetic resistance to malaria, making them highly sought-after laborers in the Americas. New American crops like cassava boosted global calorie provision, freeing up labor. European prosperity, especially Britain's, was built on exploiting the Americas and Africa for resources and labor. Massive wealth extraction, such as Robert Clive's seizure of Bengal's treasury, cemented European power. Meanwhile, the decline of indigenous populations in the Americas resulted in substantial reforestation.

    FRANKOPAN2.mp3 - Rise of Cities, Globalization, and Volcanic Effects (Thera and Okmok) Peter Frankopan | The Earth Transformed: An Untold History After 2200 BC, the rise of cities established long-range connections across Europe, Africa, and Asia, forming a globalized exchange system. Nomadic peoples were essential vectors for transporting goods, ideas, and technologies like bronze and cereals. Volcanic activity often caused major political consequences. The eruption of Thera may have triggered the variola virus (smallpox), killing millions. More critically, the Okmok eruption (43 BC) devastated the Nile floods essential for Egypt, causing famine and inflationary pressure. This ecological crisis fueled instability against Queen Cleopatra, enabling Octavian (Augustus) to conquer Egypt and establish the Roman Empire.

    Eight (ish?) years ago, actor/comedian/Emmy winner Jeff Hiller was a guest on this podcast to discuss reading celebrity memoirs. Today he returns to discuss what it was like to WRITE one! We were so excited to talk to Jeff we did the unprecedented/confusing thing of doing another episode of this podcast which for real is not happening anymore! Okay, back to Jeff! After the success of playing Joel on the terrific HBO show Somebody, Somewhere Jeff wrote a memoir "Actress Of A Certain Age." It tells stories of growing up in Texas, working for non profits in Denver and Africa, pursuing acting in NYC, doing improv at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, moving to LA and then back to NYC and lots more.  We were thrilled to talk to Jeff about his book and his life! Thank you Jeff! For minor obsessions, Anthony talked about trying to switch from reading social media to getting daily email newsletters and Will discussed the maddening video game Baby Steps.  Thanks to John Flynn (who wrote his own terrific memoir Baked) for suggesting this episode!

    Ways of Knowing: Oral Histories on the Worlds Words Create (Litwin Books, 2025) sits at the heart of the library project, shaping how materials are described and organized and how they can be retrieved. The field has long understood that normative systems like Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress do this inadequately and worse, deploying language and categories that are rooted in white supremacy, patriarchy, and U.S. imperialism. In Ways of Knowing, Emily Drabinski and Amanda Belantara present unique and timely oral histories of alternative thesauri created in response to the inadequacies and biases embedded within widely adopted standards in libraries. The oral histories tell the stories behind the thesauri through the narratives of the people who created them, revealing aspects of thesauri work that ordinarily are overlooked or uncovered. The set of oral histories included in the volume document the Chicano Thesaurus, A Women's Thesaurus, and Homosaurus. Drabinski and Belantara recorded hour-long oral histories with two representatives from each project, documenting the origins of each thesaurus, the political and social context from which they emerged, and the processes involved in their development and implementation. Introductory essays provide a context for each thesaurus in the history of information and activism in libraries. The book and accompanying digital files constitute the first primary source of its kind and a unique contribution to the history of metadata work in libraries. Capturing these stories through sound recording offers new ways of understanding the field of critical cataloging and classification as we hear the joy, frustration, urgency, and seriousness of critical metadata work.

    Today Daily Devotional

    Those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness [will] reign in life through . . . Jesus Christ! — Romans 5:17 Sin will be punished. God is a God of justice. Does this mean there is no hope for all of us who sin? No. Two thousand years ago, God the Son took on human flesh and was born to Mary. He lived in perfect obedience and then gave up his own perfect life for us to pay for the sin of all who would repent and believe in him. God is just, and sin is punished. Salvation is freely available for all! It is fashionable today to say that Jesus is the way of salvation for Christians while other religions offer other ways to God. It is also common to hear that Christianity is a white, European religion. Both assertions are false. Christianity did not originate in Europe, and Christian communities were established throughout the Middle East, India, and Africa before the faith spread to Europe. Believers from many tribes and nations are present on the college campus where I serve. In 1 Timothy 2:5 we read that there is one mediator between God and humankind—and that is Christ Jesus. And “there is no other name under heaven” by which we may be saved (Acts 4:12). God is just, and sin has been punished and paid for by Jesus, who was fully human, God in the flesh! Hallelujah, what a Savior! Jesus, thank you for becoming human, for living and dying in the flesh in order to pay for our sin. Thank you for becoming the way to eternal joy for all who trust in you! Amen.

    Assaf Dahan, Director of Threat Research, Cortex XDR, at Palo Alto Networks, discussing Phantom Taurus, a new China APT uncovered by Unit 42. Unit 42 researchers have identified Phantom Taurus, a newly designated Chinese state-aligned APT conducting long-term espionage against government and telecommunications organizations across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. Distinguished by its stealth, persistence, and rare tactics, the group has recently shifted from email-focused data theft to directly targeting databases and deploying a powerful new malware suite called NET-STAR, designed to compromise IIS web servers and evade detection. This suite, featuring modular, fileless backdoors and advanced evasion capabilities, marks a significant evolution in Phantom Taurus' operations and underscores the group's strategic intelligence-gathering objectives.

    The Third Story Podcast with Leo Sidran

    Born and raised in Madrid, Leonor Watling grew up between cultures, the daughter of a Spanish academic father and a British mother who had been raised in Africa. From an early age she was aware of both the fragility and the richness of life: her father was sick for much of her childhood and passed away when she a teenager, just as she began working steadily as an actress. That combination of otherness and awareness shaped her perspective, both on stage and in song. Best known internationally for her starring role in Pedro Almodóvar's Talk to Her, she is one of the most recognizable faces in Spanish cinema, constantly at work in new films and series. Watling has also built a parallel career as a musician. For nearly two decades she fronted the band Marlango, releasing seven albums and touring the world, first singing in English and later in Spanish. In this conversation, recorded in Madrid, Leonor reflects on her journey from early television fame to international cinema, from intimate songwriting to major-label tours, and from the demands of motherhood to the challenges of sustaining a creative life.  We also unpack our own collaboration, Leo & Leo, a new project that reimagines songs from the Leo Sidran song catalog alongside new originals, featuring guests Jorge Drexler, Kevin Johansen, Sol Sidran, Javi Peña, and the Paris based Groovy French Band. At its heart, this is both a portrait of an artist who has spent decades walking the line between acting and music, fame and privacy, English and Spanish—and a rare, intimate conversation between two close collaborators who are still discovering new ways to ask questions of each other. www.third-story.com www.leosidran.substack.com
