Em maio de 2004, uma mãe viúva levou os dois filhos para Aruba. Era uma tentativa de reconstruir a vida depois da morte repentina do pai. No resort, conheceram dois homens que se apresentaram como pai e filho adotivo. Dias depois, um deles convidou o menino de 14 anos para andar de jet ski. Max DeVries nunca voltou. #598

A butterfly farm in Aruba. A chrysalis full of goo. And one strange biological detail scientists call ""imaginal cells"" — the secret blueprint hidden inside the dissolving caterpillar that decides what it becomes next. Lance Wallnau says the same hidden blueprint is sitting inside YOU right now — and most believers will die without ever activating it. What if the ""stuck"" season you're in isn't a setback... but a cocoon? Lance unpacks Convergence Theory and Constraint Theory — the behavioral science (developed by Israeli physicist Eliyahu Goldratt) that explains why 80% of called people never reach the assignment God put them on earth to fulfill. And what are the 3 hidden numbers behind every $100 million operator — and the master teacher Jesus modeled? In this episode: • The ""imaginal cell"" revelation God showed Lance at a butterfly farm — and why you can't fly until you find the right people to agree with what's inside you • The 4 phases of convergence: Sovereign Foundation → Spiritual Formation → Gift Discovery → Life Maturing → Convergence (and why most ministries crash in stage 4) • The Doldrums — the spiritual ""no wind"" zone that breaks 80% of called leaders • Why your CONSTRAINT — not your gifting — is what's actually capping your altitude (the sandbag principle) • The 93% / 80% / 50% formula behind every $100M CEO — and why Trump operates exactly this way (most people totally misread him) • The Sergius Paulus pattern: why Paul's FIRST convert after being sent out by the Holy Spirit was a Roman political ruler — and what that means for the seven mountains mandate today • The ""5 Questions From Mastery"" download Lance got during a massage in the Caribbean — and why wisdom isn't the answer, it's the question • Why a 95%+ achievement drive will actually destroy you (and how God forces the Sabbath reset) This isn't motivational. This is the prophetic + behavioral data that explains why some believers fly and most never leave the chrysalis.

Paddock Pass Podcast - Motorcycle Racing - MotoGP - World Superbike
The first half of the WorldSBK season is in the books and Steve and Gordo get you up to date with the latest news from inside the paddock as Nicolo Bulega continues his relentless drive to a first Superbike title. The Italian is still perfect for 2026 with 18 wins from 18 starts but Sunday's Superpole Race saw him pushed harder than at any point thus far. His harder rear tyre proved the difference maker but, as ever, Bulega found a way to win. What must Iker Lecuona be thinking? The Spainard, 15 times a runner-up finisher this year, is hunting for his first WorldSBK victory. He's hurting too because he knows how close he keeps coming to that success. His reward for his hard work will be seen this weekend in MotoGP where he'll replace Alex Marquez. Outside of the Aruba.it Ducati riders there was plenty to talk about but Gordo's conversations with Tommy Bridewell have certainly left an impression. The Englishman had his best finish of the season, fifth position in Race 1, and is making the most out of his Ducati V4R to reap some good results.

We sit down with Lyrza to learn how Aruba's soca scene really works, from band culture and competition rules to the island politics that shape what becomes a carnival anthem. We leave with a clearer view of why “Road March” sparks arguments, how a viral joke song can win big, and what makes Aruba Carnival feel so different on the road. • Lyrza's background from church singing to Aruba Carnival performances • How San Nicolas and Oranjestad influence audiences and band identity • Why Aruba's Soca Monarch runs through bands instead of solo artists • Lirza's top three Aruba soca picks and what makes each one hit • What “Road March” means in Aruba versus the wider soca world • The “Lizards Cacking” controversy, rule changes, and why it still won • How Aruba parade costumes and pacing compare with other Caribbean carnivals Follow us on IG:@djsharnz@thearkayo@soca_chronicles@lyzdollwww.socachronicles.comSponsored by:www.acesir.com
Diese Woche sprechen Jakob und Mark über einige der größten Themen rund um die Football-Welt aktuell. Die NFL geht komplett all-in auf International Games. Immer mehr Spiele weltweit, immer größere Märkte – aber wie brutal ist das eigentlich wirklich für die Spieler? Jetlag, Reisen, Recovery und der komplette Stress hinter den Kulissen. Außerdem geht es um die aktuelle Entwicklung im College Football. NIL, Transfer Portal und Millionen-Deals verändern den Sport komplett. Wird College Football langsam einfach Profi-Sport ohne echte Struktur? Dazu sprechen die Jungs über die mentale Realität beim Sprung vom College in die NFL, die Situation rund um Rashee Rice und warum Vertrauen innerhalb eines Teams schneller verloren gehen kann als viele denken. Zum Abschluss geht es noch um Social Media, Politik und die Frage, ob NFL-Spieler heutzutage überhaupt noch privat sein können. Viel Spaß mit der Folge! LIMITED GAMECHANGERS SHIRT!

In May 2005, eighteen-year-old Natalee Holloway vanished during a graduation trip to Aruba — a disappearance that would become one of the most infamous true crime cases in modern history.What began as a carefree senior trip quickly spiraled into an international media frenzy involving shifting stories, failed investigations, public obsession, and nearly two decades of unanswered questions surrounding Joran van der Sloot.But beneath the headlines and speculation was a real young woman whose life had barely begun.In this episode of When Killers Get Caught, Brittany Ransom examines the investigation, the media pressure that shaped the case, the emotional devastation of ambiguous loss, and the 2023 confession that finally changed everything. More importantly, this episode restores focus to Natalee herself — the daughter, friend, student, and teenager at the center of a story the world too often turned into mythology.This episode discusses:The Aruba disappearance timelineThe initial investigation and arrestsMedia frenzy and “missing white woman syndrome”Years of false confessions and dead endsThe federal extortion caseBeth Holloway's fight for answersNatalee Holloway's lasting legacyWhen Killers Get Caught is a true crime podcast focused on the people, psychology, and moments behind violent crimes — and what happens when the darkness finally meets the light.Follow and join the conversation:

Episode 171 of the Award Travel 101 podcast, hosted by Angie Sparks and Cameron Laufer, opens with a practical community highlight: a traveler facing a broken in-flight entertainment system on a United Premium Plus flight. The discussion reinforces that while compensation isn't guaranteed, notifying a flight attendant can often result in goodwill gestures like bonus points. The hosts then run through a packed news segment, including Chase transfer bonuses to Flying Blue and Marriott, an elevated 150,000-point sign-up bonus for the Sapphire Reserve, and new restrictions around Sapphire card eligibility. They also cover new IHG credit card offers, Flying Blue Promo Rewards for discounted domestic routes, and a standout Amex-to-Hilton transfer bonus of 20%, setting the stage for the episode's main focus.Angie and Cameron share personal updates on credit card strategies and upcoming travel, highlighting the constant balancing act of hitting minimum spend, maximizing free night certificates, and navigating issuer rules like Chase's 5/24. Angie details several trips in progress—including Morocco, Ireland, and domestic travel—while optimizing points, credits, and cash savings (like rebooking a rental car for significant savings). Cameron notes upcoming plans to Aruba and possibly Everest Base Camp, alongside ongoing points-earning strategies.The main topic dives into the best Hilton redemptions, with a focus on maximizing value through free night certificates, transfer bonuses, and strategic point usage. Angie highlights outsized value at luxury properties, including SLH hotels charging upwards of $2,000 per night, while Cameron breaks down real-world redemption comparisons showing how transferring Amex points (especially with bonuses) or even buying Hilton points can yield strong value—often 2–3 cents per point equivalent. The episode wraps with a tip of the week encouraging listeners to take advantage of transfer bonuses for programs they regularly use and a simple troubleshooting trick: switching browsers can resolve common issues like errors when transferring Avios between accounts.Episode Links:Chase to Flying Blue Transfer BonusChase to Marriott Transfer BonusNew Sapphire Reserve BonusElevated IHG Card BonusesFlying Blue May Promo AwardsAmex to Hilton Transfer BonusWhere to Find UsThe Award Travel 101 Facebook Community.To book time with our team, check out Award Travel 1-on-1.You can also email us at 101@award.travelBuy your Award Travel 101 Merch hereReserve tickets to our Spring 2026 Meetup in Phoenix now. award.travel/phx2026Our partner CardPointers helps us get the most from our cards.

Send us Fan MailHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast; I am delighted to welcome Josianne Jocelyn, Travel With Josianne. Josianne worked for several years for different travel agencies. Josianne told me, “I was born in Haiti. I came to the US 40 years ago. I come from a family of 6 children (like me). I lived in Brooklyn through high school. (Like me, well, through middle school). After earning a bachelor's degree, I knew working in the Travel industry is what I wanted to do. My first trip given to me by the agency was a cruise on the Big Red Boat, and I realized that I loved cruising. I got married and gave birth to twin girls. When I moved to New Jersey several years later, I had to work part time, because I was the one taking care of the kids. 2020 change everything. I started to watch YouTube travel videos. Someone told me I should start a YouTube channel, and I did. I did not know how hard it would be. I have been traveling the Caribbean for years by land and sea. Celebrity and Royal are my favorite cruise lines. On Royal I have been on the Icon, Oasis, Quantum and Freedom classes. I've been cruising Celebrity for 30 years. Now I'm in love with the Edge Class. I do travel by land. My favorite Caribbean Islands to go to and spend a week with the family are Aruba, Grand Cayman, Providenciales, Turks & Caicos, and Curacao. My favorite all-inclusive is Sandals, having been to Sandals Montego Bay, Royal Caribbean, Curacao, and Regency Le Toc St Lucia.” Do you have a dream car?

Nuovo scontro Ue-Meta, questa volta sul controllo dell'età in Facebook e Instagram. Secondo un'indagine preliminare della Commissione Europea Meta non ha protetto adeguatamente i minori di 13 anni, permettendo loro di navigare indisturbati sui propri social. Ci spiega di più Innocenzo Genna, esperto di regolamentazione europea in ambito digitale. Parliamo anche degli altri possibili divieti di social e siti nella UE.La crescente esposizione agli attacchi cyber e la stringente normativa europea sulla cybersecurity impongono alle aziende una gestione proattiva e preventiva del rischio cyber. In questo contesto è importante trovare soluzioni capaci di garantire anche che dati altamente sensibili rimangano sotto giurisdizione UE. Ne parliamo con Marco Riccardi Ceo e cofondatore di QuoIntelligence, scale up che ha raccolto capitali per un valore di 7,3 milioni di euro.Soprattutto per le aziende sarà fondamentale sviluppare soluzioni di IA usando infrastrutture private, rispetto ai grandi cloud provider come OpenAI, Anthropic, ecc. Per ottimizzare i consumi e i costi e per la confidenzialità e la sovranità dei dati. Ne parliamo con Andrea Pili, amministratore delegato e co fondatore di Xference, start up che ha creato una delle prime inference factory in Italia e ha annunciato un accordo con Aruba.E come sempre in Digital News le notizie di innovazione e tecnologia più importanti della settimana.
LISTEN WITHOUT ADS AT www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast On this Thursday Dopey Greatest Hits episode, Dave opens the show reacting to angry Spotify comments from the previous Amanda de Cadenet episode, joking that controversy is good for engagement. He sets the table for one of his favorite classic episodes: a deep and unforgettable interview with legendary harmonica player Jason Ricci. Before getting there, Dave gives listeners a chaotic snapshot of life at home while Linda is away in Aruba—solo parenting, eating Ralph's ices, putting Susan to bed, cleaning the backyard with Heart Attack Doug, tossing an old rusted grill, and trying to make the house look better before Linda returns. Dave then reads a truly wild listener email from “Stan the Man from London,” describing a multi-day relapse involving forgotten luggage, shooting cocaine in a government facility bathroom, fleeing authorities, drinking in pubs, attending his first orgy, smoking meth, doing booty-bumped MDMA, watching bodies swing from the ceiling, and taking mystery LSD gummies to cope with the scene. Dave begs listeners to send in more orgy stories and jokes that if people are sitting on orgy stories and not sending them in, they're wasting everyone's time. He then reads Spotify comments from last week's Michael Imperioli episode. Listeners praise the interview, discuss whether non-addict guests belong on Dopey, mention recovery movies to watch while detoxing, mourn the death of beloved former guest Bill Blaber, and compare Imperioli's appearance to classic Dopey stories like the water tower episode. Dave also plugs Patreon, promises stickers to commenters, and reads Patreon comments about Bill Blaber, Sopranos fandom, and ideas for new podcasts. Dave introduces the throwback interview with Jason Ricci, one of the greatest harmonica players alive. Jason immediately proves to be a classic Dopey guest: hilarious, intense, wildly talented, and deeply damaged. He tells Dave about growing up in Maine with severe family dysfunction. His father ran the notorious behavior-modification program Elan, later the subject of the documentary The Last Stop. Jason describes his father as a brilliant but dangerous alcoholic/addict. His mother suffered from serious untreated mental illness and subjected Jason to horrifying physical abuse, bizarre religious episodes, and chaos throughout childhood. Jason says music became his escape. He first got serious about harmonica after seeing James Cotton perform live and witnessing the raw emotional power of blues music. Though he originally came from punk/skateboard culture and resisted blues, Cotton changed everything. Jason became obsessed with mastering the instrument and started getting mentored by older musicians. As a teenager he was kicked out of his house, became homeless, drifted through deadhead apartments and baseball dugouts, and eventually reconnected with his estranged father, who answered the door in a bathrobe with a gun and immediately asked if Jason knew how to roll a joint. Jason ended up briefly living near Elan, then moved to Boise, Idaho to study forestry before dropping out once music took over his life. In Boise he earned his stripes in a local blues scene where older musicians forced him to learn Little Walter songs before letting him play. He embraced LSD, weed, and beatnik philosophy, believing he was a spiritually advanced seeker while sharpening his craft. He then moved to Memphis to pursue blues seriously. That's where the Dopey really kicks in. Jason started using cocaine, then crack, and says smoking crack was one of the most instantly seductive experiences of his life. He recounts how quickly everything changed—money disappearing, priorities collapsing, and life spinning out of control. He also talks openly about his sexuality, his first gay experiences, and the confusion of navigating identity while falling deeper into addiction. The interview blends music obsession, childhood trauma, sexuality, homelessness, genius-level talent, and classic Dopey-level depravity. Jason comes off as both hilarious and heartbreakingly honest, while Dave nerds out over harmonica history and recognizes a fellow obsessive. It becomes one of those Dopey episodes where darkness, redemption, absurdity, and art all collide. SERIOUS DOPEY BUSINESS ON THIS HADCORE TRULY DOPEY EPISODE OF DOPEY'S GREATEST HITS!

In this first episode of a new three-part series, I'm joined by Dr. Erica Howe to talk about the real power of community for high-achieving women. This conversation explores why so many professional women carry the badge of doing everything on their own—and what becomes possible when you step into a room where honesty, strategy, and shared experience replace isolation. We talk about the small conversations that can shift your perspective, why community is more than just support, and how the right environment can spark the courage to change something in your career or life. About Dr. Erica Howe Dr. Howe is a board-certified Hospitalist and a nationally known educator, wife, and mother to three crazy kids.

What if retirement isn't about doing less, but about becoming more? George Jerjian spent his career as a retirement mindset coach, helping others navigate life after work. Then he decided to practice what he preached. He planned an 80-day round-the-world journey, intentionally choosing unfamiliar countries where he'd be forced out of his comfort zone and into transformation. This greatest hits crossover from Stacking Adventures brings George's story to the basement, not because it's about exotic travel (though the destinations are incredible), but because it illustrates something crucial about the retirement mindset. The question isn't whether you can afford to travel. The question is whether you're willing to reinvent yourself when the structure of work disappears. George shares the planning behind his epic journey, including why he used a travel agent (yes, really), how he chose destinations that would challenge him rather than just relax him, and what each stop taught him about identity, purpose, and staying relevant after a career ends. From South Africa's Robben Island and a five day safari that taught him about patience, to Australia's Great Barrier Reef and a Melbourne Immigration Museum exhibit that forced him to rethink identity, to New Zealand's Milford Sound and a Maori dance lesson about seeking approval, to Japan's samurai service culture and Hiroshima's lesson in resilience, to Canada's awe inducing Rockies and French-flavored Quebec. Every stop was chosen deliberately to teach him something, not just show him something. The conversation explores his DARE method for retirement planning, why so many retirees struggle with identity once their business cards disappear, and how intentional travel creates the mindset shift that makes retirement feel expansive rather than diminishing. Along the way, Joe and Crystal plug the "Where in the World is Crystal Hammond?" guessing game (she's not in the continental U.S. or Aruba), announce Seattle and Boston community meetups, and mention the Vault tool for credit monitoring. Plus, you'll hear about George's book, Odyssey of an Elder: Around the World in 80 Days. What You'll Learn: • Why retirement success depends on mindset transformation, not just financial preparation • George's DARE method for retirement planning and identity • How to plan transformational travel versus just vacation travel • Why choosing unfamiliar destinations matters more than comfortable ones • What each stop on George's journey taught him about life after work • How travel forces identity shifts that make retirement feel expansive • Why so many retirees struggle once their professional identity disappears • Practical strategies for reinventing yourself when work ends • How to use travel as a tool for personal growth, not just leisure This Episode Is For You If: • You're approaching retirement and worried about losing your identity • You've saved enough money but haven't thought about who you'll become • You're recently retired and struggling with the transition • You want retirement to feel like expansion, not contraction • You believe travel can transform you, not just entertain you Question for You: If you could take an 80-day trip designed to transform you (not just relax you), where would you go and why?

Is there any better for a race than Phillip Island? Well, given all the news at the weekend Steve and Gordo report from on the ground with the thoughts of the locals, the staff and the paddock on the bombshell news that MotoGP will move to Adelaide. Will WorldSBK follow? It certainly seems that way. On track, Nicolo Bulega was imperious as he starts his quest for global domination. The Aruba.it Ducati star man is a little more likeable than a bond villain and a hell of a rider. We break down his weekend which featured an incredible, almost unnecessarily, dominant performance in the wet conditions of Sunday. There are plenty of stories to follow this weekend. The first double podium for bimota since 1988 has confirmed the resurgence of Axel Bassani. His Sunday double will have given him a huge boast in confidence that this season he can be a closer challenger to his teammate, Alex Lowes. Lowes was one of the fallers in the wet conditions in Race 2 and we look at what caused many of the falls. The rise and fall of Independent Ducati's is set to be a big story this year. Steve said in our preview show that "on your good days you've got to take advantage of the package." Lorenzo Baldassarri certainly did that. The Italian, who refuses to acknowledge his season aboard a GMT94 Yamaha as a Superbike campaign, impressed the paddock this week. In testing he was quick but to withstand the pressure from Bassani in the closing stages of Race 1 was rewarded with his first career podium finish. Yari Montella had his first career front row and podium too. At BMW are the reigning World Champions in a tailspin? It depends on who you ask. That being said the two-day Portimao Test on March 9-10 will be critical for them. It was a weekend of highs and lows Miguel Oliveira. The rookie had everything thrown at him over the weekend. A superpole crash that relegated him to the back of the field was followed by two superb recovery rides in both conditions to leave him one point ahead of his teammate, Danilo Petrucci, in the standings. The performance gap between them seemed much higher this week. Yamaha's Xavi Vierge was the fastest man in blue this week but came away with zero points after a big crash in Race 1. Andrea Locatelli looked lost for most of the opening round but in wet conditions he found some confidence and came away fifth position. Thanks to Renthal Street for supporting the podcast.

Wallstreet Trapper explains why sometimes you don't need motivation — you need a pattern interruption. After realizing he was stuck in a worst-case scenario loop, Trap took a solo trip to Aruba for a reset. What he discovered will change how you look at failure, breakthrough seasons, and spiritual growth. In this clip, he breaks down: • Why your mind creates fight-or-flight scenarios that rarely happen • How routine can trap you in a feedback loop • Why breakthroughs often come with mental resistance • The difference between failure and preparation • Why some lessons aren't meant for you to succeed at — they're meant to fortify youHorizon Trust - Keep More.
