260818PC Lesezeit – Urlaubstagebuch Tag 8Mensch Mahler am 18.08.2026Es gab Jahre, da hatte ich 7 oder 8 Bücher im Koffer, wenn ich in den Sommerurlaub gefahren bin. Dann kam die Zeit der elektronischen Bücher. Das hat manches vereinfacht, was das Transportgewicht angeht. Angefreundet habe ich mich mit den Kindles dieser Welt nicht wirklich. Also jetzt wieder Taschenbücher, Paperbacks, Hardcover. Meine Frau ist seit Jahren in einem Literaturkreis. Davon profitiere ich – und außerdem gibt es an jeder Ecke eine Tauschbörse für gebrauchte Bücher. In diesen Urlaub habe ich – neben dem Hurtigruten-Reiseführer folgendes dabei: Anna Gavalda „Zusammen ist man weniger allein“ – ein toller Roman über verlorene Seelen in Paris. Ausgelesen. Dann darf ein Dirk Rossmann nicht fehlen, bereits der dritte, den ich lese: „Der Zorn des Oktopus“ ein Zukunftskrimi im Jahr 2029. In Bücherschränken habe ich einen Fitzek gefunden, den ich noch nicht gelesen hatte: Den Psychothriller „Das Geschenk“. Conny hat gerade Gabriela Zalapis „Ilaria“ ausgelesen. Ein Vater entführt seine Tochter und macht mit ihr einen Roadtrip durch Italien. Ein Familiendrama, das bedrückend ist und sich trotzdem zu lesen lohnt. Auf dem Campingplatz an der Ostsee habe ich „Seefahrt“ gefunden, ein Kluftinger Krimi. Den habe ich als Reserve dabei. Und jetzt gerade ausgelesen: Den neuen Robert Seethaler: „Die Straße“. Ein ganz besonderes, hochgelobtes Buch, das es in dieser Form noch nie gab. Man kann das Genre als "Form des literarischen Streetviews" charakterisieren. Robert Seethalers raffiniertes erzählerisches Arrangement in "Die Straße" ist wirklich bemerkenswert. Ich habe das Buch, das 230 Seiten lang nur Fragmente enthält, in 24 Stunden durchgelesen.Heimliche Heldin dieses Romans ist die Straße selbst, "scheinbar unscheinbar" bietet sie eine Art Querschnitt menschlicher Erfahrungen: enttäuschte Liebe, üble Gerüchte, Kriegserinnerungen, Obdachlosigkeit, Rassismus, Migration, Brandstiftung und fragwürdige Immobiliengeschäfte. Seethaler lässt seine Erzählung flugs über all diese Geschehnisse und Gespräche hinweggleiten, verknüpft dabei seine knappen Momentaufnahmen geschickt durch wiederkehrende Motive und Begriffe. Zum Anfang mögen einige der oft namenlosen Stimmen noch etwas gespensterhaft wirken, doch nach und nach entfaltet sich vor den Lesenden eine Art literarisches "Wimmelbild" voller klarer, schillernder Charaktere und Verbindungen. Verkürzungen sind zwangsläufig integraler Bestandteil dieser Erzählweise. Ins Gefühlsselige kippen sie nur einmal, in der Erzählung einer verliebten Floristin. Doch dies kann man dem Autor ohne weiteres nachsehen, der hier seine Kunst der Darstellung komplexer Mikrokosmen zur Perfektion bringt.Ich kann dieses Buch „Die Straße“ von Robert Seethaler wärmstens empfehlen, weil es ein ganz besonderes Lese-Erlebnis aufmacht. Und: Ich freue mich jetzt auf zwei Wochen Seereise mit meinen literarischen Schätzchen im Gepäck. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Send us Fan MailPlaying at home for the first time in August, the Minnesota Twins took two of three games against the Baltimore Orioles, a fellow AL Wild Card contender. David mounts a defense of Alan Roden that frankly confuses Dan, who is ready to send Roden back to Triple-A to clear a roster spot for Byron Buxton. They are equally mixed on what to do with Kaelen Culpepper while being impressed with the play lately from Josh Bell in the DH spot. They discuss the strange play in the Blue Jays-Red Sox game earlier this week as well as a darkhorse bid for an MLB expansion team. And then, of course, they make their picks for a fun series against the Philadelphia Phillies, which opens at the Field of Dreams in Iowa.

Send us Fan MailAfter the Minnesota Twins took the first game in this three-game set against the Milwaukee Brewers, David and Dan found themselves wanting another victory. But they and the Twins settle for just one in this border battle against the National League's best team. David shares his experiences from watching the Savannah Bananas at Target Field with his family, and he works through the ups and downs of Royce Lewis' performance this series. Dan is pleased to see Kody Funderburk's excellent play over the last couple of months, and he, like David, thinks that if Kaelen Culpepper is on this team, surely Walker Jenkins should be, too.

Send us Fan MailIt wasn't the outcome that might have been expected after the way the Minnesota Twins handled the MLB trade deadline, but the Twins do come away with one victory in Kansas City, and they still managed to keep pace in the AL Central. David and Dan discuss the close competition for playoff spots in the American League and how they think the Twins will figure in that as they head into a difficult stretch of opponents. They are at odds over whether Tom Pohlad can be trusted, even after coming through with some trades this week. But they are in agreement that Royce Lewis looks great, Joe Ryan should have said something earlier, and that there are two key prospects waiting in St. Paul who should no longer be waiting for their call-up.

Iran & Oman Agree To Hormuz Shipping Route & Blame US For Delaying Final Agreement! Washington Still Objects To Any Arrangement That Gives Iran Control Over Passage Or Permits Tehran To Charge Transit Fees

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson are being portrayed as a scandal-bound royal duo whose relationship long outlived their marriage because it benefited both of them. Royal author Andrew Lownie describes them as the royal family's “Bonnie and Clyde,” arguing that their post-divorce bond was built around mutual loyalty, shared self-interest, financial survival, and the preservation of status. Andrew gave Sarah continued access to royal proximity, prestige, and money-making opportunities, while Sarah remained fiercely loyal to Andrew even as his public image collapsed. Their history includes the 1986 wedding, the 1996 divorce, tabloid scandals, Andrew's reputation as “Air Miles Andy” and “Randy Andy,” Sarah's own controversies, and the unusual fact that they continued living closely together long after their marriage ended.The Epstein fallout has turned that long-running royal arrangement into something far more damaging. Andrew's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, Virginia Giuffre's allegations, his disastrous Newsnight interview, the loss of his royal duties and titles, and years of public scrutiny have made his name toxic. Sarah has also been pulled back into the scandal because of her own past dealings with Epstein, including accepting money from him after publicly condemning him. The broader point is that Andrew and Sarah's relationship now looks less like eccentric royal loyalty and more like a survival pact between two people trapped inside the same reputational wreckage. What once played as tabloid weirdness has become part of the larger Epstein stain on the House of York.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Former Prince Andrew, Fergie were 'Bonnie and Clyde' of royal scandal: author | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Real Madrid has officially announced the significant acquisition of 19-year-old winger Yan Diomandé from RB Leipzig. The overall financial arrangement could amount to €140 million, positioning him as the most expensive signing in the history of Real Madrid, contingent upon the fulfillment of all conditions.The guaranteed base fee stands at €125 million, with add-ons and performance bonuses totaling €15 million—€10 million of which is considered easily attainable, while €5 million is tied to more challenging milestones.Diomandé has signed a seven-year contract that will keep the Ivory Coast international at the Santiago Bernabéu until June 30, 2033. This transfer surpasses Jude Bellingham's 2023 fee, thereby establishing a new record for the club and simultaneously making Diomandé the most expensive African footballer in history.Diomandé's ascent in global football has been remarkable. In 2024, he was playing at the DME Academy in Florida before transferring to the Spanish club Leganés. RB Leipzig acquired him for a mere €20 million in July 2025.During his outstanding single season in the Bundesliga, he netted 12 goals and provided 9 assists in 33 matches, earning the title of Rookie of the Season in the league. His value surged further after a standout performance for the Ivory Coast at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, leading Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez to decisively outmaneuver interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool.Diomandé is the centerpiece of a significant summer restructuring under head coach José Mourinho, as the club aims to end a two-season drought of major trophies. He joins a prestigious list of new signings this transfer window: Bernardo Silva (Free transfer)Ibrahima Konaté (Free transfer)Marc Cucurella (€55 million)Denzel Dumfries (€20 million)Carlos Espí (€25 million).Born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, on November 14, 2006, he relocated alone to the United States at the age of 15 to enroll in Florida's DME Academy.He excelled with the DME-affiliated team AS Frenzi, clinching a local league title in 2023.Signed his first professional contract with Spanish La Liga side Leganés in January 2025.He made his professional senior debut against Real Madrid on March 29, 2025. In July 2025, he transferred to the Bundesliga giant RB Leipzig for approximately €20 million, where he netted 12 goals in the Bundesliga and was awarded Rookie of the Month after an impressive hat-trick against Eintracht Frankfurt.  He earned his senior international debut for the Ivory Coast national team in October 2025, contributing to their qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Send us Fan MailThe Minnesota Twins lost two of three to the Seattle Mariners, both of them in walk-off fashion, ending a series that felt eerily like the Twins' last trip to Seattle -- and in a way, much like an inversion of their most recent series against the Kansas City Royals. Hoges fills in for the traveling David again to discuss the series with Dan, who was able to attend all three games in Seattle. Dan pins a lot of blame on the starters' troubles in the first inning, and Hoges pins plenty of blame on Royce Lewis for his mishandling of the last play of Game 2. They also discuss the future of Trevor Larnach, Victor Caratini and Alex Jackson, and they assess the new bullpen order after the trades this week.

Send us Fan MailSandwiched around one of their most disappointing games of the season were two of the Minnesota Twins' most exciting ones, with walk-off hits from Royce Lewis and Kody Clemens giving them a series victory over the visiting Kansas City Royals. Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson fills in for David and raves about the walk-offs as well as the Twins' bullpen, which made both the victories possible. Dan stands pat with his feelings about the trade deadline, while Hoges is still prepared to trade one of the team's key players so long as Minnesota gets a good return. They look around the league at Tariq Skubal's possible landing spots, and generally they just bask in the joy of watching a team in late July contend for the playoffs.

Charles Spicer recounts how, by September 1938, the amateur spies learned of the Oster Conspiracy, a robust plan by German military and police units to arrest Hitler and prevent war. Spicer argues this was a credible arrangement that could have succeeded had Britain supported the resistance. Instead, Chamberlain's "Plan Zed"—his personal flights to meet Hitler—undermined the conspirators by robbing them of their casus belli. Intelligence regarding this plot reached the cabinet and was referenced in minutes, but it was never acted upon. Consequently, Hitler gained the Sudetenland and vital armament works without a fight, effectively fueling his future war machine. (10)1940

Completely unrelated creatures that depend entirely upon one another to live and have no way of living without one another, pose a very serious challenge to those who claim that all living things evolved. The relationship is called reciprocal altruism.One startling example is the relationship between the fig wasp and the fig tree. Male figs are not for eating but they produce the pollen to pollinate the sweet, juicy female fig. But the flower parts of both the male and female figs are inside the figs. There is no chance that the wind could spread pollen from the male to the female figs. And there is no other creature except the fig wasp that can transfer the pollen.Herein lies an incredible story. The fig wasp hatches from eggs inside the male fig and its purpose in its short 24-hour life is to lay its eggs inside another male fig. The female wasp emerges from the male fig covered in pollen and is programmed to search among the female figs, thus fertilizing them, before laying its eggs inside a male fig and thus start the cycle again.The fig wasp will only lay its eggs in the male fig while the female fig cannot be pollinated by any other method. Clearly, both the fig wasp and the fig tree were created for this special relationship.Habakkuk 3:17-18"Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines, the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat, the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls—yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation."Prayer: Dear Lord, just as You created the fig wasp and the fig tree for this close relationship, You have created me for a relationship with You. There is no peace for me outside of a relationship with You. Help me to grow closer to You through the instruction of Your Word. Amen.Ref: Bob Devine, Uncle Bob's Animal Stories, (Moody Press, Chicago, IL). Image: Seres barbatus (fig wasp) entering syconium of fig, Alandmanson, CC BY 4.0, Wikimedia Commons.

Send us Fan MailThe Minnesota Twins win yet another series, their eighth over the last nine, and head into the All-Star Break one win under .500 at 48-49. David continues to defend Derek Shelton's creative use of Luke Keaschall, who had ups and downs during this series against the Los Angeles Angels. Dan is pleased with how Shelton handled the pitching staff and how he's basically helped this team become exactly what Dan thought it would be at this point in the season. David and Dan discuss whether Ryan Jeffers will be with the Twins long term (or even for the rest of this season) and then make their picks for Minnesota's next series, which will be in Chicago after the Break.

Send us Fan MailThe Minnesota Twins win their seventh series in their last eight, giving David and Dan plenty to discuss after the Twins take two of three games against the rival Cleveland Guardians at Target Field. While David laments that the Twins didn't do more to win Game 3 and secure a sweep, he still really likes what he saw from Taj Bradley and wants the Twins to lock him into a long-term deal now. Dan is confused about what the Twins are doing in the field positionally, though David has no issues with the approach. Both are eager to see Ryan Jeffers return soon, hopefully for this final series before the All-Star Break.

Drew Clark, President and CEO of Summit Royalties Ltd. (TSX.V: SUM) (OTCQX: SUMMF), joins me to outline the transformational acquisition of Star Royalties Ltd. (TSXV: STRR, OTCQX: STRFF), which closed on July 3rd, 2026. The Arrangement materially expands Summit's portfolio with the addition of Star's royalty and streaming interests, including a 4% gold stream on Mining Americas Inc.'s (formerly Minera Alamos Inc.) Copperstone Project in Arizona.   The Copperstone gold stream provides Summit Royalties with exposure to a fully permitted Arizona gold development project where Mining Americas recently announced a positive pre-feasibility study and a formal construction decision. Based on the PFS results and current estimates, project construction is expected to take approximately one year, with initial production of 46,000 oz of gold per year anticipated by mid-2027.   Drew highlighted the upside potential to continue to grow the underground resources of the Copperstone Mine, considering Mining Americas having just announced a planned increase in the mill throughput from 600tpd to 1000tpd. Additionally, Mining Americas just announced there is a portion of resources outside of the PFS that exist in near-surface areas in proximity to the historic open pit excavations, and the Company believes there is potential for gold mineralization to be extracted via open pit mining methods.  This open pit was not even factored in the initial valuation process, and Drew mentioned it was now like getting a gold stream on 2 mines for the price of 1.     Together with their existing portfolio, including a royalty on Jaguar Mining's near-term producing Pitangui Project, where development is expected to commence in 2026 with first gold production targeted in 2027, this acquisition transaction of the gold stream on Copperstone strengthens the Company's future revenue and cash flow growth.     With the closing of the Arrangement, Summit's portfolio now includes 48 royalties and streams, anchored with four producing assets, two assets expected to enter construction in 2026 which are targeted to begin production in 2027, and 42 additional royalties expected to add additional cash flow growth and optionality for years to come.  The portfolio is focused mostly on gold and silver, and spans across 3 core jurisdictions - Canada, USA, and Australia.  Summit is now the fastest growing company in the precious metals royalty sector; having completed their first royalty and stream transaction in May 2025, and just went public in the 2nd half of last year.     Summit Royalties has continued to demonstrate its ability to identify and execute accretive transactions, and intends to build on that momentum with discipline, to become the next mid-tier streaming and royalty company.  Drew outlines that they are reviewing a few key term-sheets to keep making future actionable and accretive acquisitions to increase production and cash flow growth. Improved capital markets presence and trading liquidity, with supportive shareholder base. Pro forma Summit valued at a significant discount to peers on Price/NAV and Price/2027E cash flow per share (“CFPS”) basis. The Corporation currently has no debt and sufficient cash on-hand for use in future acquisitions, as well as being in dialogue with financial institutions for adding a potential revolving credit facility.     If you have any follow up questions for Drew about Summit Royalties, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   In full disclosure, Shad is a shareholder of Summit Royalties at the time of this recording, and may choose to buy or sell shares at any time.   Click here to follow the latest news from Summit Royalties   For more market commentary & interview summaries, subscribe to our Substacks:   The KE Report: https://kereport.substack.com/ Shad's resource market commentary: https://excelsiorprosperity.substack.com/     Investment disclaimer: This content is for informational and educational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, an offer, or a solicitation to buy or sell any security.

Hawaiian Concert Guide – Show 704 Molokaʻi Sweet Home Music of Home, Heritage, Harmony... and a Journey into Exotica This episode of the Hawaiian Concert Guide celebrates one of the most enduring themes in Hawaiian music: love of home ('āina). From the quiet beauty of Molokaʻi to timeless Hawaiian standards, from contemporary voices carrying on the tradition to the fascinating world of mid-century Exotica, Show 704 takes listeners on a musical journey that explores how Hawaiʻi has inspired both those who call it home and those who dreamed of its distant shores. Our featured artists include Ei Nei, Eric Lee, Kaleo Phillips, Martin Denny, and Hoʻokena, creating a program that blends authentic Hawaiian music with historical musical perspectives. Opening Welcome everyone to another edition of the Hawaiian Concert Guide! I'm Piko, and this episode is titled "Molokaʻi Sweet Home." Tonight we're celebrating music rooted deeply in the Hawaiian Islands—songs about home, family, culture, and identity. Along the way we'll step briefly into the fascinating world of Exotica with Martin Denny before returning home again through the beautiful harmonies of Hoʻokena. So let's begin our journey... Ei Nei Molokaʻi Sweet Home Album: Ei Nei, Look At Us The show opens with a heartfelt tribute to one of Hawaiʻi's most beloved islands. Molokaʻi has long been known as the "Friendly Isle," famous for preserving traditional Hawaiian lifestyles and remaining largely untouched by mass tourism. Unlike Waikīkī or Maui's resort communities, Molokaʻi represents old Hawaiʻi—a place where family, fishing, ranching, and community remain central to everyday life. Musically, Ei Nei creates an intimate atmosphere using: rich vocal harmonies acoustic guitars gentle island rhythm restrained production Rather than emphasizing technical virtuosity, the performance allows the lyrics and harmonies to communicate warmth and belonging. The song immediately establishes the central theme of tonight's program: Home isn't simply where you live—it becomes part of who you are. Hiʻilawe (feat. Mālie Lyman) Next comes one of Hawaiian music's enduring classics. "Hiʻilawe" was written by the legendary Samuel Kalāinaina and celebrates the famous Hiʻilawe Falls in Waipiʻo Valley on Hawaiʻi Island. Over the decades it has become one of the most frequently recorded songs in Hawaiian music, interpreted by everyone from Gabby Pahinui to contemporary artists. Ei Nei's version is notable because it avoids trying to reinvent the classic. Instead they focus on: clean vocal blend tasteful acoustic accompaniment respect for traditional melody The addition of Mālie Lyman adds another vocal texture while maintaining the song's traditional character. This performance serves as a reminder that Hawaiian standards continue living through each new generation of musicians. Eric Lee E Ola No Kākou Album: The Islands Are Calling Eric Lee has become one of Hawaiian music's most respected singer-songwriters. "E Ola No Kākou" translates roughly as: "May We All Live" or "Life for All of Us." Rather than focusing on one island or one family, this song expands the show's perspective toward the entire Hawaiian community. Musically we hear: polished contemporary production strong lead vocals layered harmony modern acoustic instrumentation The arrangement remains distinctly Hawaiian while incorporating production values that make it accessible to worldwide audiences. Its message is optimistic, inclusive, and deeply rooted in aloha. Ke ʻAno O Ka Hawaiʻi The title translates as: "The Nature of Hawaiʻi" or "The Character of Hawaiʻi." Although shorter than many songs in today's playlist, it delivers an important cultural statement. Rather than describing scenic beauty alone, the lyrics explore the qualities that define Hawaiian identity: aloha respect tradition community connection to the land Musically it's concise and melodic, functioning almost like a musical reflection between larger works. Kaleo Phillips Ka Lamakū Album: E Mama "Lamakū" literally means torch or beacon. Within Hawaiian symbolism it often represents: guidance knowledge leadership passing wisdom from one generation to another Kaleo Phillips delivers the song with emotional restraint rather than theatrical intensity. His warm vocal style blends naturally with contemporary Hawaiian acoustic arrangements while remaining firmly grounded in traditional musical values. It's another reminder that Hawaiian music often teaches as much as it entertains. Kuʻulei Awapuhi / Magic Island This medley beautifully combines two very different images. The first half celebrates ʻawapuhi, the fragrant wild ginger flower often associated with affection and beauty. The second half shifts geographically to Magic Island, the man-made peninsula adjoining Ala Moana Beach Park on Oʻahu. The transition works surprisingly well because both songs celebrate cherished places through personal memories. Arrangement highlights include: smooth transitions tasteful steel guitar textures flowing rhythmic accompaniment strong ensemble vocals The medley creates a feeling of taking a leisurely drive through the islands, connecting people with places they love. Exotica Segment Tonight's Exotica segment offers an interesting contrast. Where Hawaiian musicians perform music from within the culture, Exotica was largely created by American composers imagining distant tropical paradise. Although not authentically Hawaiian, Exotica became enormously influential during the 1950s and helped introduce millions of listeners to sounds inspired by Polynesia and the South Pacific. Martin Denny On a Little Street in Singapore Album: Hypnotique Martin Denny became known as the father of Exotica. This piece isn't Hawaiian at all—instead it evokes Southeast Asia through a mixture of: vibraphone unusual percussion lounge rhythms atmospheric orchestration Denny's genius wasn't documentary realism. Instead he created musical travel postcards, inviting listeners to imagine distant exotic locations. The recording captures the optimism and fascination with world travel that characterized post-war America. Voodoo Dreams One of the darker tracks in Denny's catalog. Rather than emphasizing melody, this piece builds atmosphere through: tribal percussion dramatic orchestration mysterious harmonies rhythmic tension It's cinematic rather than traditional. Within today's episode, it serves as a fascinating historical contrast before we return to authentic Hawaiian voices. Hoʻokena He Hawaiʻi Au Album: Nā Kai ʻEwalu Few vocal groups have represented modern traditional Hawaiian music more beautifully than Hoʻokena. "He Hawaiʻi Au" simply means: "I Am Hawaiian." This is perhaps the strongest statement of identity in today's playlist. Immediately listeners notice: rich four-part harmonies effortless vocal blend beautiful dynamic control traditional Hawaiian phrasing After the Exotica segment, this recording feels like returning home. The contrast is intentional. Instead of someone imagining Hawaiʻi, we hear Hawaiians singing about themselves. Ka Puʻulena We conclude tonight with another treasured Hawaiian classic. "Ka Puʻulena" has been performed by generations of Hawaiian musicians and remains one of the repertoire's most beloved mele. Hoʻokena's arrangement showcases everything that makes the group exceptional: impeccable harmony emotional sincerity traditional interpretation outstanding ensemble balance Rather than adding unnecessary embellishment, they allow the song's natural beauty to shine. It is a fitting conclusion to an episode centered on home, identity, and cultural continuity. Closing Thoughts Tonight's playlist followed a musical arc that began on Molokaʻi, traveled through contemporary Hawaiian songwriting, paused briefly in the imagined tropical landscapes of Martin Denny's Exotica, and ultimately returned home through the timeless harmonies of Hoʻokena. The contrast reminds us that Hawaiʻi has inspired musicians around the world for generations—but there remains something uniquely powerful about hearing these stories told by those whose roots run deep in the islands. Whether you're listening from Hawaiʻi or halfway around the globe, we hope tonight's music has brought a little aloha into your home. Mahalo for joining us on Hawaiian Concert Guide Show 704. Until next time, mālama pono, and aloha!

As I look back on my childhood and my very first music studies, I realize that I was incredibly fortunate, blessed, actually. Not because I was gifted or because my parents were not only willing but were able to support my harp lessons. Not because I was in one of the music capitals of the world and had access to world class teachers. Not because I had so many opportunities and people that encouraged me along my journey. Well, yes, I was blessed because of all those things, certainly. But I want to talk today about a different gift that was given to me, one I didn't realize the value of until much later. The gift was this: I was always encouraged to play music outside the box. Let me explain. I started piano lessons when I was four years old, and my piano teacher was not only a fabulous musician, but a creative and generous teacher. My lessons included all the usual piano exercises - which I hated - and sonatinas - which I loved - and she also made sure that she gave me performance-worthy arrangements of popular music. I played arrangements of "Blue Moon" and "People" from Funny Girl and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" that were written by pianists like Roger Williams. These were fancy arrangements that took quite a bit of technique and a lot of practice to play well, and I enjoyed them.  But my teacher never stuck exactly to the printed page. She always had some alterations to add a little more pizzazz to the arrangement. We were always taking bass notes down an octave or playing another part up in the high register like a music box, or changing dynamics and tempo. What she taught me was that music was self-expression. It was about so much more than just playing the written notes. It was about making the notes say what you thought they should say. Please understand; we didn't take liberties with the classics. She made sure I played absolutely every note that Bach wrote on the page. But I learned very early on how to be creative in my music-making, and that has been a tremendous gift. I've never shied away from arranging, and in fact, it's one of my favorite things to do. I'd love every harpist to learn the freedom of making their music their own, and that's what this show is about. I actually went back about two years into the podcast archives to pull out this episode which speaks directly to this. If you've ever wondered about what it takes to make an arrangement, or how to go about it, this is the episode for you. And afterwards, I want to tell you about an opportunity - a new challenge, in fact -  to work with me on your own arrangement.  Links to things I think you might be interested in that were mentioned in the podcast episode:  Get creative with the Compose for Christmas Challenge  Go even further at the Chrysalis Music Workshop  Harpmastery.com Get involved in the show!

Send us Fan MailStill short on starting pitching and still trying to put together a competitive bullpen, the Minnesota Twins lost two of three to the Tigers in Detroit, falling eight games under .500. That has Dan and Hoges thinking about what might happen in late July and whether Joe Ryan is winding down his time with the Twins. Dan is confused about why Mike Paredes doesn't get the official title as "spot starter," while Hoges has diagnosed Royce Lewis' inconsistent play over the last three years. They discuss what goes into choosing a position player to pitch, and they look around the league at a feel-good story and a weird odyssey on the base paths.

Send us Fan MailThe Minnesota Twins welcomed Royce Lewis back to the Major League lineup and still lose three of four at home to the Kansas City Royals, who gained two games on the Twins in the AL Central standings. Dan remains optimistic that the team is going to be in the hunt in September. David isn't so sure after this latest home stand. For the first time this season, David and Dan both have some in-game critiques for manager Derek Shelton.

Send us Fan MailWhile playing with a depleted starting rotation, the Minnesota Twins came home and won two of three against the Chicago White Sox, staying afloat in the middle of the AL Central Division and just a couple games back in the Wild Card. The bullpen continues to be in flux -- Kody Funderburk returned to St. Paul for some reason yet again -- but the Twins continue to find ways to mind the gaps. David wants to see the Twins rearrange the infield, while Dan is pleased to hear what Derek Shelton said about Royce Lewis. Both David and Dan aren't exactly sure what to make of shortstop Tristan Gray and Ryan Kreidler, though for very different reasons.

Send us Fan MailA road trip that started with a sweep ends with a sweep, as the Minnesota Twins lose all three games to the Pittsburgh Pirates. David and Dan discuss the road back to .500, which looks like a difficult one considering all the pitching injuries and the strain on the depth of the starting rotation. David wants to know how the Twins are addressing all of the Pirates' stolen bases, while Dan wants to see more prospects make their way to the Majors. There were positive performances for sure (by Brooks Lee and Kody Clemens), but the struggles were many in this series. They both try to stay a little bit optimistic.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Sarah Ferguson are being portrayed as a scandal-bound royal duo whose relationship long outlived their marriage because it benefited both of them. Royal author Andrew Lownie describes them as the royal family's “Bonnie and Clyde,” arguing that their post-divorce bond was built around mutual loyalty, shared self-interest, financial survival, and the preservation of status. Andrew gave Sarah continued access to royal proximity, prestige, and money-making opportunities, while Sarah remained fiercely loyal to Andrew even as his public image collapsed. Their history includes the 1986 wedding, the 1996 divorce, tabloid scandals, Andrew's reputation as “Air Miles Andy” and “Randy Andy,” Sarah's own controversies, and the unusual fact that they continued living closely together long after their marriage ended.The Epstein fallout has turned that long-running royal arrangement into something far more damaging. Andrew's friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, Virginia Giuffre's allegations, his disastrous Newsnight interview, the loss of his royal duties and titles, and years of public scrutiny have made his name toxic. Sarah has also been pulled back into the scandal because of her own past dealings with Epstein, including accepting money from him after publicly condemning him. The broader point is that Andrew and Sarah's relationship now looks less like eccentric royal loyalty and more like a survival pact between two people trapped inside the same reputational wreckage. What once played as tabloid weirdness has become part of the larger Epstein stain on the House of York.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Former Prince Andrew, Fergie were 'Bonnie and Clyde' of royal scandal: author | Fox News

Guest After 11 years at IBM, Brooke Erol left a "great job on paper" to pursue a more aligned, purpose-driven life. She founded Your Best Life Inc. to help professionals find meaning at work, and later Purposeful Business to support leaders in building people-centered organizations. She is the author of More Than A Paycheck and Create a Life You Love, and speaks globally on leadership and purposeful work. Summary In this conversation, career coach and author Brooke Erol explores the changing nature of work, fulfillment, and identity in an era shaped by burnout, layoffs, and artificial intelligence. Drawing from her own experience at IBM, she reflects on realizing early in her career that many people were "chasing the weekend" rather than finding meaning in their work. That realization eventually led her to write More Than a Paycheck, a guide designed to help individuals develop greater self-awareness and agency in their careers. Brooke argues that self-awareness is foundational to meaningful work, yet modern life leaves little room for reflection. She encourages people to intentionally create time to examine what energizes them, what no longer serves them, and which limiting beliefs may be shaping their choices. Throughout the discussion, she emphasizes that traditional career formulas—go to college, get a corporate job, retire happily—are no longer reliable in today's unstable job market. The conversation also examines the disruptive impact of AI, especially on younger workers and recent graduates, while highlighting the growing value of trade and skilled labor careers. Brooke encourages people to remain adaptable, continuously learn new skills, and consider side projects or entrepreneurial paths alongside traditional employment. The discussion closes with reflections on retirement, purpose, and identity. Brooke and Jeff agree that fulfillment comes not from stopping work entirely, but from continuing to contribute, learn, connect, and pursue activities that make life meaningful. The Essential Point Brooke's central message is that people must take greater ownership of their careers and lives by developing self-awareness, questioning inherited assumptions about work, and intentionally pursuing work that aligns with who they are. She also stresses that fulfillment and purpose are not luxuries reserved for retirement—they are essential parts of a healthy, sustainable life at every stage.

C dans l'air du 22 mai 2026 - Trump et le fisc : petit arrangement entre amis ?Aux États-Unis, alors que de nouvelles accusations de conflits d'intérêts visent Donald Trump, le fisc américain a annoncé un deal inédit avec le milliardaire. En mars, le président des États-Unis avait attaqué sa propre administration, demandant 10 milliards de dollars de dommages et intérêts aux services fiscaux, en raison d'une fuite dans la presse de ses déclarations de revenus de 2020. Le The New York Times rapportait alors que le magnat de l'immobilier n'aurait payé que 750 dollars d'impôts fédéraux en 2016 et en 2017, et même aucun lors de dix des quinze années précédentes, en raison notamment d'importantes déclarations de pertes de ses sociétés.L'accord trouvé cette semaine interdit à jamais de poursuivre Donald Trump en cas de fraude ou d'arriérés d'impôts antérieurs au 18 mai 2026. Cette immunité fiscale à vie concerne aussi sa famille et leurs entreprises. Le document prévoit également la création d'un fonds d'indemnisation de 1,8 milliard de dollars, pouvant indemniser les personnes affirmant avoir été « injustement ciblées » par les administrations précédentes. En clair, cela pourrait concerner les 1 600 émeutiers du 6 janvier, graciés par Donald Trump, alors qu'ils avaient pris d'assaut le United States Capitol en 2021, estimant que la victoire de Joe Biden à l'élection présidentielle était usurpée.Au Congrès, cet deal scandalise l'opposition. « C'est une carte “sortie de prison gratuite” qu'il a négociée avec lui-même. Mais qu'est-ce que c'est que cette Amérique ? », a fustigé Chuck Schumer, chef des démocrates au Sénat. La polémique enfle dans la presse et le malaise gagne les rangs de la majorité présidentielle. Deux policiers ayant défendu le Capitole en 2021 viennent de saisir les tribunaux. Ils veulent faire annuler cette décision, que les associations de transparence en politique qualifient de plus corrompue de l'histoire des États-Unis.Pendant ce temps, Donald Trump a présenté aux journalistes le chantier de sa salle de bal ultrasécurisée à la White House. Un sujet qui obsède depuis des mois le locataire du Bureau ovale. Ce dernier la mentionne en moyenne un jour sur trois depuis le début de l'année 2026, a recensé le The Washington Post. Mais si ce projet immobilier, monumental et coûteux, revient de manière récurrente dans les discours du président, qui veut « la plus belle salle du monde », cette marotte, soulignant la déconnexion du milliardaire avec les préoccupations de la population, inquiète de plus en plus les républicains. Seuls 28 % des citoyens jugent cette construction nécessaire. Une population dont le pouvoir d'achat est de plus en plus impacté par la flambée des prix des carburants, alors que les turbulences internationales s'accumulent.Iran, Canada, Cuba… Depuis son retour à la Maison-Blanche, Donald Trump pratique la diplomatie par les menaces et les ultimatums. Mais son mépris pour le Canada a eu l'effet d'un repoussoir pour le tourisme aux États-Unis, et les villes frontalières sont les premières à souffrir des tensions inédites entre les deux pays voisins. Les négociations sur la fin de la guerre en Iran se poursuivent, sans aboutir, et le détroit d'Ormuz demeure bloqué. Washington vient d'annoncer qi'l mettait en pause ses ventes d'armes à Taïwan afin de « s'assurer de disposer de munitions suffisantes » pour la guerre contre l'Iran. Parallèlement, l'administration Trump accentue la pression sur le régime cubain. L'ancien président cubain Raúl Castro vient d'être inculpé aux États-Unis, alors que le USS Nimitz (CVN-68) arrive en mer des Caraïbes.Nos experts :- James ANDRÉ - Grand reporter à France 24- Lauric HENNETON - Historien, spécialiste des États-Unis, maître de conférences à l'Université Versailles-Saint Quentin- Dominique MOÏSI -Géopolitologue, conseiller spécial de l'institut Montaigne
